Silver Adamantite Stone is a fifth-tier refining material, typically incorporated into flying daggers and flying swords to enhance the power of magical treasures. If enough Silver Adamantite Stone is used, raising the treasure's grade by a small rank is not an issue.
For some unknown reason, Golden Glaze Crystal has become extremely scarce on the market. Yuan Lie visited many shops but only managed to buy a small amount. Silver Adamantite Stone, being an even rarer refining material than Golden Glaze Crystal, was only available in a few liang.
His Natal Magical Treasure was severely damaged, and Silver Adamantite Stone would be an excellent material to repair it.
“I don't have that much Silver Adamantite Stone, but my fellow disciples do,” Wang Changsheng said sincerely. “Daoist Yuan, please give me a day. I'll contact my fellow disciples and try to gather forty catties of Silver Adamantite Stone. Could you hold onto the Heavenly Mirage Pearl for me in the meantime?”
Song Feng had purchased a large quantity of raw Silver Adamantite Stone to refine a complete set of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures. If Wang Changsheng were to suddenly produce forty catties of Silver Adamantite Stone, and Yuan Lie happened to mention it, Wang Changsheng wouldn't be able to explain himself.
Li Yanchuan and the others surely had Silver Adamantite Stone on them. Wang Changsheng didn't need to buy too much; just purchasing a small amount for appearance's sake would suffice. Even if the matter was exposed, he could claim he bought it from other fellow disciples.
Yuan Lie pondered for a moment before replying, “Alright! I'll give you three days. If you acquire the Silver Adamantite Stone, you can find me at Azure Ape Palace. I'm temporarily staying there.”
Azure Ape Palace is a shop established by the Azure Ape Clan on Mysterious Moon Island. Most members of the Azure Ape Clan who visit Mysterious Moon Island usually stay at Azure Ape Palace.
“No problem, it's a deal,” Wang Changsheng affirmed.
Wang Changsheng agreed, then changed his tone. “Daoist Yuan, you mentioned killing a fifth-tier superior Illusory Mirage Beast earlier, didn't you? Do you still have any of its hide? I'd like to trade some refining materials for it.”
The hide of an Illusory Mirage Beast can be used to refine illusionary talismans. Wang Ruyan would find it very useful.
“What are you offering in exchange?” Yuan Lie said dismissively. “I'm not interested in ordinary materials.”
Wang Changsheng took out a piece of Bloodscale Wood and handed it to Yuan Lie, saying, “This is eight-thousand-year-old Bloodscale Wood. What do you think?”
Yuan Lie took the Bloodscale Wood and examined it carefully. With a flip of his palm, a red light flashed, and a pale blue beast hide appeared in his hand. The hide's surface was adorned with mysterious silver patterns.
“There's only this small piece left,” Yuan Lie stated. “It's a fair trade for your Bloodscale Wood.”
Yuan Lie handed the hide to Wang Changsheng, motioning for him to inspect it.
Wang Changsheng examined it thoroughly, nodded with satisfaction, and said, “Deal. It's settled then. Once I acquire the Silver Adamantite Stone, I'll come find you at Azure Ape Palace.”
“Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now,” Yuan Lie said.
Yuan Lie stood up, bid his farewells, and departed.
Wang Changsheng took out a blue and white speckled ore. With a forceful snap, he broke the ore in half, and a light blue jade stone fell out. The jade surface had some white patterns and was misty with vapor.
Wang Changsheng weighed it in his hand; the jade stone weighed three or four catties.
“Cloud Sea Jade!”
A smile appeared on Wang Changsheng's lips. Cloud Sea Jade is a higher-grade refining material than Cloud Sea Stone, found only in large Cloud Sea Stone veins. This discovery was made by the Qilin Tortoise; otherwise, Wang Changsheng wouldn't have been able to stumble upon such a find.
Based on market prices, this piece of Cloud Sea Jade could sell for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
With a cost of seventy thousand, he had acquired Cloud Sea Jade worth hundreds of thousands, making a considerable profit.
Wang Changsheng put away the Cloud Sea Jade, left the teahouse, and headed to Mysterious Moon Peak. Coincidentally, Li Yanchuan and five other Soul Transformation cultivators were descending the mountain.
“Senior Martial Brother Li, what a coincidence! Where are you all headed?” Wang Changsheng greeted them with a smile.
“Just taking a stroll,” Li Yanchuan replied, asking curiously, “Is something the matter, Junior Martial Brother Wang?” It was clear Wang Changsheng had come to find them.
“I have a small matter and would like to ask for your assistance, Senior Martial Brothers,” Wang Changsheng said sincerely. “If it's convenient, perhaps we could move somewhere to discuss it in detail.”
Li Yanchuan pondered for a moment and agreed.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the five of them were in a private room at a teahouse. Wang Changsheng ordered two pots of spirit tea and some pastries.
After two cups of tea, Li Yanchuan got straight to the point: “Junior Martial Brother Wang, please speak freely. There are no outsiders here.”
“Senior Martial Brother Li, I want to refine a treasure, but I'm short on Silver Adamantite Stone,” Wang Changsheng said earnestly. “I was wondering if you could sell me some? I'm willing to purchase it at a high price.”
“You need Silver Adamantite Stone?” Li Yanchuan asked, his expression somewhat peculiar.
They had embezzled some Silver Adamantite Stone while refining artifacts for Song Feng. If they sold it to Wang Changsheng, and he then went to Song Feng to report them, it would be troublesome. It was essential to be wary of others.
Embezzled items were best kept out of sight. Even if they couldn't use them themselves, they would sell them through special channels. Why would they sell them to a fellow disciple? If the Hall of Enforcement investigated, it would be difficult to explain.
Li Yanchuan's eyes shifted, and he chuckled, “Junior Martial Brother Wang, it's not that we don't want to help; we simply don't have any Silver Adamantite Stone on us. However, I know a fellow Daoist who does have Silver Adamantite Stone. You can buy from her; she definitely has some, and quite a substantial amount.”
“Who?” Wang Changsheng asked.
“Fairy Xu of the Divine Weapons Sect, full name Xu Yingying. She is proficient in artifact refining, and the Divine Weapons Sect has multiple Silver Adamantite Stone veins. Fairy Xu surely has Silver Adamantite Stone. However, her temper is a bit volatile, and she's difficult to get along with. Whether you can exchange for Silver Adamantite Stone depends on you.”
Li Yanchuan spoke truthfully. He took out a green jade slip, handed it to Wang Changsheng, and said, “This is Fairy Xu's address. Go find her yourself! I have other matters to attend to.”
Wang Changsheng took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, expressed his thanks, and put it away.
After Li Yanchuan and the others left, Wang Changsheng also departed.
“Junior Martial Brother Wang, what a coincidence! Why didn't you come to find us when you arrived on Mysterious Moon Island?”
A hearty male voice suddenly rang out. Chen Xin quickly walked towards Wang Changsheng, with Sun Wu following closely behind.
“Senior Martial Brother Chen, Senior Martial Sister Sun, what a coincidence!” Wang Changsheng saw the two of them, let out a soft exclamation, and greeted them with a smile.
He then remembered something and asked Chen Xin about Xu Yingying's situation.
“Junior Martial Brother Wang, you've certainly asked the right person,” Chen Xin said with a smile. “Junior Martial Sister Sun has a good relationship with Fairy Xu; it shouldn't be a problem for her to take you to see Fairy Xu.”
Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up. It seemed making a good connection back then was the right decision.
“Then I'll trouble Senior Martial Sister Sun,” Wang Changsheng said politely.
Sun Wu smiled faintly and replied, “It's no trouble at all, just a small favor. Come with me!”
A teacup's time later, Wang Changsheng, Chen Xin, and Sun Wu appeared on a sparsely populated street. On both sides were vast estates.
Upon arriving at the entrance of a quiet courtyard, Sun Wu sent out a sound transmission talisman.
Soon after, the courtyard gate opened, and a striking young woman in a red dress walked out. She had a celestial bun hairstyle, skin as fair as snow, a round face with large eyes, and a hint of unusual heroic spirit in her brows. A golden belt was tied around her waist.
This was Xu Yingying, a late-stage Soul Transformation cultivator and a disciple of the Divine Weapons Sect.
