Chapter 577: Chapter 490: A Great Harvest_2
At this moment, Master Luo Jing, who was beside He Song, and True Monarch Yun Jing, naturally noticed these as well.
Seeing such a scene, a hint of surprise flashed across True Monarch Yun Jing’s face.
When did…
Jade slips recording the Golden Elixir Skill become so common?
According to her prior understanding at the Cloud State Major Pavilion, such jade slips should be extremely rare, only seen at the auction held every ten years, shouldn’t they?
But now, this…
Looking at the dozen or so jade slips on the tray, the astonishment on Monarch Yun Jing’s face became increasingly strong.
Next to her, Master Luo Jing remained expressionless. However, watching this scene did stir a sliver of doubt in his mind.
Could it be that she was uninformed…
This Golden Core Object didn’t seem to be rare at all.
As their gazes scanned over…
After the tray, the person who had been sent to find these objects quickly began to speak.
A crisp voice then echoed.
“Seniors, I have searched the entire main pavilion, and all these jade slips record various skills.”
“Some are for use at the Foundation Establishment stage, some for Qi Cultivation.”
“However, I have searched the entire main pavilion and found only one Golden Core volume about Array Skills.”
“According to the records in the pavilion, this Golden Core volume was recently acquired and was stored less than half a month ago.”
“Apart from this, the rest are all volumes for Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment, and there are all kinds of these.”
“Seniors, is there anything else you need?”
As the crisp voice echoed, the hopeful light in He Song’s eyes dimmed instantly.
He could now see what he would gain from this endeavor.
Originally, when he saw the dozen or so jade slips on the tray, He Song had already decided on his cultivation plans for the future.
But as time went by…
The situation changed accordingly.
Knowing that among these dozen jade slips, only one was what he needed, He Song couldn’t help but sigh.
However, He Song quickly came to terms with it.
According to the Green Leaf Elixir Collection he had obtained from the auction, as well as what True Monarch Yun Jing had said…
Items like the Golden Core Array Dao volume and jade slips recording other skills were usually found at the main pavilion’s decennial auction.
Only at the decennial auction of the Treasure Pavilion’s main pavilion could these treasures possibly exist.
Being able to find such a jade slip in the storage of the main pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion was already a sign of great luck for him.
If it were someone else or if he had come at a different time, whether he could acquire this jade slip would be another matter.
Thinking about it this way, He Song felt that finding this jade slip alone had made his trip worthwhile.
However…
Just as He Song had this thought in mind and was about to take out the spirit stones to buy it…
At his side, True Monarch Yun Jing, who had her doubts cleared up after hearing their conversation, finally realized the truth. Her gaze towards those jade slips also calmed down at this moment.
Initially, she too had thought like He Song: that all these dozen jade slips were Golden Core Objects.
Unexpectedly, that wasn’t the case.
Among these dozen slips, only one was a Golden Core Object.
Moreover, the only Golden Elixir Array Dao jade slip was acquired from someone else just half a month ago.
After learning this, the surprise she initially felt naturally vanished.
Upon recalling her previous words, True Monarch Yun Jing quickly understood.
It turned out that it wasn’t the case that Golden Core Array Dao jade slips were commonplace; it was simply because their subordinates had brought a copy of all the jade slips containing various techniques.
Realizing this, True Monarch Yun Jing gave a slight nod and then said,
“You may go now, I will take it from here.”
Having said that…
True Monarch Yun Jing lightly waved her hand, immediately encompassing the only Golden Core Array Dao jade slip from the tray with her magic power and swung it into her hand.
Once there were only three of them left in the room…
True Monarch Yun Jing didn’t say much else, casually passing the Golden Core Array Dao jade slip in her hand to He Song.
Before He Song could voice his confusion,
True Monarch Yun Jing’s voice rose again.
“Fellow Daoist, please accept this.”
“Though the price of this jade slip of Golden Core Array Dao at the auction is steep, given your wealth, purchasing it would be a mere trifle.”
“Previously, you attended an auction held at my sister’s Golden Core Banquet, where you successfully bid on a pill Dao jade slip.”
“The gesture of you taking out twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones is still deeply etched in my memory.”
“However, this jade slip of Golden Core Array Dao has not been auctioned, so naturally, its price isn’t as high.”
“Considering my level of authority, after recalculating the price of this item, you’ll need to pay fourteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones.”
“Compared to the twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones from the previous auction, this is the best price I can offer.”
After her speech, True Monarch Yun Jing gave a nod to He Song, then glanced at her sister, Master Luo Jing.
Upon noticing Yun Jing’s gaze, Master Luo Jing quickly nodded following a brief moment of thought.
This indicated that Yun Jing’s words were nothing but the truth.
He Song saw all this clearly, so naturally, he was relieved.
After pocketing the jade slip in his storage bag, He Song gave True Monarch Yun Jing fourteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
The trade was thus completed.
He Song acquired a jade slip of Golden Core Array Dao.
Moreover, it was much cheaper compared to the Green Leaf Elixir Collection he acquired before.
The nearly six thousand mid-grade spirit stones saved were fought for by Yun Jing in front of him.
Grateful for this, He Song’s gaze towards her became even friendlier.
When she saw He Song pocket the jade slip, and promptly give her fourteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones, True Monarch Yun Jing nodded, indicating the transaction was completed.
Furthermore, He Song accepting the price she had mentioned, naturally meant that he acknowledged her favor.
The saved six thousand mid-grade spirit stones was no small sum.
Even for Golden Elixir Masters, it was not a small amount.
Six thousand mid-grade spirit stones equaled six hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.
For someone at the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be a fortune.
Surely, He Song would remember such a favor.
In this way, He Song got the Golden Core Array Dao jade slip he wanted.
True Monarch Yun Jing also made He Song remember her favor through this transaction.
It was a delightful win-win scenario for both parties.
After the transaction concluded,
The three of them began to chat about all sorts of interesting events inside the Treasure Pavilion.
In these chats, He Song learned many things he had never heard of before, broadening his horizons.
The members of the Treasure Pavilion differed from disciples of other sects and individual cultivators.
Whether it was Master Luo Jing or True Monarch Yun Jing, their information channels far exceeded those of others.
Some secrets were common knowledge in their mouths.
Therefore, He Song benefited considerably.
However,
All things have a beginning and an end.
After staying in Biyue Prefecture for half a month, He Song said his goodbyes.
The reason was simple.
Staying in the Treasure Pavilion every day, discussing the Dao with both Luo Jing and Yun Jing was fulfilling, and brought knowledge of secrets he wouldn’t normally hear of.
However, you should know,
He just received a jade slip of Golden Core Array Dao from Yun Jing, for virtually half the price,
For He Song, who already had accomplishments in array skills, resisting the urge to understand the jade slip for half a month was already considered pushing his limits.
In front of Masters Luo Jing and Yun Jing, however, he couldn’t concentrate on understanding its contents.
Otherwise, when they asked, his previous words would instantly be exposed, revealing his proficiency in Array Skills.
This situation was something He Song absolutely didn’t allow.
