Chen Yi remained calm and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he took something out of his storage ring.
"This is...Nine Nether Grass?"
The appraiser's eyes widened suddenly; his extensive knowledge allowed him to recognize the item at a glance.
“And it’s over a hundred years old…” His expression shifted, and he looked at Chen Yi. “Mr. Chen, this Nine Nether Grass is worth around 800,000. Are you sure you want to pawn it?”
Chen Yi, however, calmly replied, "Yes."
Zhao Manjin, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
No, you didn't use the Hundred-Year-Old Nine Nether Grass yourself, but used it as collateral, just for that piece of cursed land?
Little did he know that Chen Yi had already refined the Nine Nether Grass, and it was an even more precious five-hundred-year-old Nine Nether Grass...
"Is there anything else you need to pledge as collateral?" the appraiser asked again.
Chen Yi thought for a moment, then took out another stack of talismans.
"Please help me assess the value of these talismans."
The appraiser was slightly taken aback. "These are all level 1 talismans, right?"
"Hehe, don't be ridiculous. You probably don't know that Tianbao Pavilion has professional Level 2 talisman masters. Their products are much better than those of a student like you. Your talismans are worthless here..." Zhao Manjin couldn't help but mock.
He knew that Chen Yi was in charge of talismans at the school.
How can a street vendor compare to a big store?
The appraiser didn't speak immediately because what Zhao Manjin said was indeed correct.
However, out of kindness, he still took the talisman from Chen Yi's hand.
"We can test it," Chen Yi said calmly.
The appraiser was somewhat surprised.
He could tell from the patterns on the talisman that it was of excellent quality and in no way inferior to the talisman-drawing masters in his own Tianbao Pavilion!
"Please wait a moment."
A minute later, he returned excitedly.
"Did you draw all these talismans?"
Chen Yi nodded slightly.
“We are willing to buy it at 10% above the market price. How much do you have?” the appraiser asked.
Chen Yi then took out a thick stack of talismans.
These were all drawn during his breaks between classes; there are as many as one or two hundred of them.
The appraiser carefully took it and estimated its value.
"These talismans are worth a total of 156,000 yuan, plus the 800,000 yuan for the century-old Nine Nether Grass, making a total of 956,000 yuan. What do you think?"
"Can."
Chen Yi nodded.
Zhao Manjin was struck dumb again...
"The assessment is complete. You may both return to your seats."
A moment later, Chen Yi completed the transaction and successfully acquired the extremely dangerous land, leaving him with over 250,000 yuan.
This was a brief experience of what it's like to be a millionaire.
"What a rollercoaster ride!" he sighed.
Having experienced the thrill of spending nearly a million, the remaining two hundred thousand could no longer excite him.
Later, he spent over 50,000 yuan to buy an alchemy furnace and some alchemy materials at Tianbao Pavilion, reducing his wealth to less than 200,000 yuan.
Unfortunately, the materials for refining the Twelve-Story Jade Elixir were not available at this auction.
He could only ask Tianbao Pavilion to keep an eye out for him.
"Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo? We'll keep an eye out for it for you."
That's right, the ingredients of the Twelve-Story Jade Liquid are quite pure, consisting of only one type: Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo.
It is said that this bamboo takes root in the earth, its roots spreading for miles around, its bamboo peaks pointing upwards as if trying to pierce the sky, and it has only twelve segments from beginning to end.
The sap accumulated in the Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo is also an important raw material for refining the Twelve-Layer Jade Elixir...
"If I'm the only one who knows the recipe for the Twelve-Story Jade Elixir, then finding the Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo shouldn't be too difficult," Chen Yi thought to himself.
The worst thing is being controlled by a powerful force, which would make things very difficult.
However, if that's the case, then this force will definitely produce quite a few Qi Refining Level 12 cultivators. But in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, he has never heard of such a situation, so he can basically entrust it to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with peace of mind.
After all, their stores are all over the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, with millions of cardholders and hundreds of millions of customers served—it's no joke...
......
After returning to Xiande Middle School, Chen Yi went straight back to his dormitory.
As soon as you open the door, a rich spiritual atmosphere rushes in, even more refreshing than returning to an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day.
"Um?"
Chen Yi was sitting cross-legged on the futon when he suddenly sensed a strange movement coming from his storage ring.
He scanned the source of the anomaly with his divine sense and found it to be the dice.
Strangely, once it was released, the commotion disappeared again...
After he put it back in his storage ring, it started acting up again.
"What's going on? Everything was fine before?" He frowned.
Wait, could it be because of that extremely ominous and dangerous soil?
He thought for a moment and then took out the extremely ominous soil.
This clump of soil, blackish-red, looks like a pile of minced meat...
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the dice cup vibrated again.
Chen Yi was taken aback: "Are you afraid?"
"Is the Thief Heaven Sect really that extravagant? The dice they give to their members are even magical artifacts?"
Just as he was clicking his tongue in amazement, the surface of the dice changed again.
"wrong!"
He stared intently at the dice.
Suddenly, some fine threads, barely perceptible to the naked eye, appeared on those six points.
When he brought the extremely ominous and calamity-ridden soil close to the side with the number of points, the threads instantly retracted.
Something's fishy!
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Buzz!"
The blue-faced, fanged figure appeared behind him.
To avoid prolonged contact with extremely inauspicious soil and thus becoming tainted by something ominous, he decided to have the Earthly Yin Wrathful Fire element perform the operation.
In this way, one can avoid directly touching the extremely ominous land.
However, the Earthly Yin Wrathful Fire aspect seemed unafraid of the malevolent aura emanating from this ominous land...
"bite!"
The Earthly Yin Wrathful Fire element uses an iron chain to roll up extremely ominous earth and place it on the other side of the dice, on the side with the numbered dots.
Sure enough, the threads reappeared.
Chen Yi hardened his heart and directly ordered the Earthly Yin Wrathful Fire to cover the other five sides of the die with fierce earth.
"I don't believe you won't come out."
The threads could no longer endure it and crawled out.
Only then did Chen Yi realize that it was a small insect with a somewhat ethereal body.
What is this?
He held the small insect in his hand, examining it repeatedly.
A few minutes later...
[Through your efforts, your level has improved; Proficiency +1]
Chen Yi: "???"
"insanity?"
He frowned.
Who put it there?
Chu Qi? Or did he not know either, and that he too had been deceived?
What is the effect of this Gu?
Clearly, this worm cannot speak.
Fortunately, Chen Yi managed to establish a brief spiritual connection with the beast by using his beast-driving skills.
Although Gu magic and beast control are different, they are similar in some aspects.
A moment later, he learned about the Gu worm.
"A luck-enhancing Gu?" His expression hardened. "Your luck isn't good either!"
After saying that, he stroked his chin, as if deep in thought.
Who is so malicious as to try to steal my luck?
Hmph! Confiscated!
"Hehehe! You've been arrested, and now you're mine."
He directly threatened the Qi Luck Gu.
"Miss Luck Gu, you don't want me to bury you in this cursed land and let all the luck you've painstakingly accumulated be dissolved by misfortune, do you?"
The Qi Yun Gu immediately obeyed its will.
A few minutes later, Chen Yi's "Unwavering Loyalty" target increased by one.
Who says Gu worms aren't beasts?
"Continue to pretend to serve the original owner and act as if nothing happened," Chen Yi ordered the Qi Luck Gu.
He wanted to see which little beast was so beastly!
From this moment forward, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed.
[Warning: It's time for the session. Please begin immediately!]
Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the futon and began to cultivate the "True Explanation of Earth Element Subduing on the Ground".
Now, all that's left before condensing the second strand of true spiritual energy is to cultivate the technique to perfection.
This was not a difficult task for him, whose cultivation technique was already at level 1.
Just like a Foundation Establishment cultivator looking at a Qi Refining stage cultivation technique, they can understand the general idea at a glance, and cultivating it is incredibly simple.
Although he is not as strong as someone who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he is much stronger than others at the same level.
After completing the cultivation technique, the next step is to temper one's Dao heart.
Chen Yi glanced at the proficiency level of Dao Heart.
[Dao Heart lv.1 - Proficiency 198/200]
Unbeknownst to me, my mastery of the Dao Heart has reached this level.
The "Mind Like Still Water" skill has been incredibly helpful, and I hope that after upgrading it to level 2, it will further accelerate my cultivation speed...
He calmed himself down and began to meditate.
Two hours have passed...
The system light screen suddenly popped up.
[Through your efforts, your Dao Heart level has improved, proficiency +2]
Congratulations! Through diligent cultivation, your level has increased to level 2.
