Chapter 704 - 298: Ancient Small Seal, Spirit Butterfly Promotion
Then, with a wave of his hand, he drew the Spirit Butterfly into his palm.
"Tier Two!"
Feeling the aura of this Spirit Butterfly, Chu Ning couldn’t help but show a trace of joy in his eyes.
During this period of time away from home, Chu Ning had not taken the Spirit Butterfly with him but left it in the Medicinal Garden.
There were many Gold Attribute Spirit Plants here, so naturally, it could consume more nectar.
This Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly had already reached the peak of Tier One Advanced.
After a period of nurturing by Chu Ning, coupled with feeding it Secret Technique and nectar.
It had now been promoted to Second Level.
Thinking about the introduction of this Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly, Chu Ning immediately took out several Artifact Refining Materials from the Storage Bag.
Then casually threw them in various parts of the Medicinal Garden.
Next, Chu Ning issued an order to the Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly.
Then Chu Ning saw the Spirit Butterfly fly straight to one of the Gold Attribute Materials.
"It truly can sense Gold Attribute Materials, and this material is not very advanced, not even containing Qi of Geng Metal."
Seeing this, Chu Ning was very satisfied.
He didn’t have high hopes for finding Nine Rites Gold in the next six months.
If that’s the case, he would most likely have to visit Snow Mist Valley.
Although Wu Rongfeng had given him a map back in the day.
However, whether Nine Rites Gold is still at that place is hard to say.
With this Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly in hand, it might be able to provide him with quite a bit of assistance.
For the next ten days, Chu Ning stayed in his Cave Mansion, carefully adjusting his state.
Only then did he walk out of the Cave Mansion again.
Walking on the streets of Lower City, Chu Ning looked at the bustling streets with a bit of surprise.
He had been in Ice Island Immortal City for almost twenty years, and such a lively scene was unprecedented.
Even when Snow Mist Valley opened ten years ago, there were not this many people.
It’s worth knowing that today is not a major trading day at Frost Moon Pavilion.
Chu Ning was just momentarily interested in visiting the Market in the city to see if he could purchase some materials for setting up the Cloud Thunder Array.
"One hundred Spirit Stones? This Fluorite Jade is not a particularly valuable item.
However, one hundred Spirit Stones is too little, if you could offer one hundred fifty Spirit Stones, I would sell this item to you."
Chu Ning was walking on the street.
When suddenly a somewhat familiar voice faintly reached his ears.
Turning his head, Chu Ning saw a face that seemed a bit familiar.
It was the young female cultivator named Xia’er whom he had met once several months ago in Snow Peak Mountain Range.
The Golden-winged Spirit Butterfly in Chu Ning’s hands was obtained from their family of three, but he didn’t know why her parents were not present at this moment.
Moreover, compared to several months ago, the impression this young female cultivator named Xia’er gave to Chu Ning was vastly different.
Perhaps due to the favoring of her parents, this girl was quite lively and playful, but gave Chu Ning the impression of having a rather lively personality.
Back then, in front of Chu Ning, a Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivator, if her parents hadn’t stopped her, she might have wanted to argue a point or two.
Yet now, the vivaciousness on the girl’s face was gone, and she carried a certain cold and beautiful demeanor.
"One hundred fifty Spirit Stones? I can buy one hundred fifty Spirit Stones anywhere, why should I buy yours?"
As Chu Ning was observing, another voice echoed, belonging to a cunning-looking middle-aged male cultivator.
The young female cultivator known as Xia’er hadn’t yet responded when the cunning middle-aged cultivator spoke once more.
"Xi Wenxia, you’re probably running low on Spirit Stones now.
If you don’t sell this Fluorite Jade to me, can you still stay in Ice Island Immortal City for another two months?"
From the tone, it seemed the two were acquainted.
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Xi Wenxia lowered her head and clutched the Fluorite Jade tightly, seemingly hesitant.
The Fluorite Jade was indeed one of the materials Chu Ning needed for the Cloud Thunder Array.
Chu Ning glanced at the two, thought for a moment, and still decided to approach.
"I’ll buy this Fluorite Jade for one hundred fifty Spirit Stones."
Chu Ning’s voice suddenly rang out calmly.
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Xi Wenxia raised her head swiftly, her face showing a hint of delight upon seeing Chu Ning.
The middle-aged man abruptly turned his head.
"Who is being so unreasonable, intentionally causing trouble, I..."
Halfway through his sentence, the middle-aged man’s words suddenly halted as he felt the aura of a Golden Core Cultivator from Chu Ning before him.
"Oh, it turns out you’re a Golden Core senior, I apologize for my earlier rudeness, senior. I’m very sorry."
The middle-aged man immediately grinned apologetically.
"Get lost!"
Chu Ning waved his hand dismissively, speaking in a light tone.
Facing a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he naturally saw no need for courtesy.
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s blunt words, the middle-aged man dared not say more and left sulkily.
At this moment, the young female cultivator known as Xi Wenxia, with a bit of excitement on her face, bowed respectfully toward Chu Ning.
"Greetings, senior."
Seeing her expression, Chu Ning knew she recognized him.
Nodding slightly, he reached out to take the Fluorite Jade in front of her.
Then he took out one hundred fifty Lower Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to her.
At this moment, Xi Wenxia gently bit her ruby lips and said:
"Senior has shown kindness to a junior; this Fluorite Jade should be given to senior as a gift, but this junior truly needs Spirit Stones right now.
Senior can pay me one hundred Spirit Stones."
Hearing this, Chu Ning glanced at her lightly and asked calmly:
"Aren’t you using Spirit Stones to pay living expenses?"
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Xi Wenxia’s pretty face slightly flushed.
Seeing this, Chu Ning sighed internally, even if she didn’t say it, he could guess that she must have encountered some changes.
Otherwise, the Xi Family, all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, should not have fallen to the point of being unable to afford living costs in Lower City.
Thinking he happened to want to understand the noticeable changes in Ice Island Immortal City over the past few months, Chu Ning placed one hundred fifty Spirit Stones in front of her.
Then he asked:
"Do you have many other items to sell?"
Xi Wenxia shook her head, "Today, the main item is this Fluorite Jade, others are just incidental, no one has really looked at them."
"Then come with me, there are still some things I want to ask you about."
After hearing Chu Ning’s words, Xi Wenxia immediately collected the Spirit Stones in front of her as well as the displayed items into her Storage Bag.
Then she followed behind Chu Ning.
The cunning middle-aged male cultivator, hiding far away, muttered something under his breath and walked away disconcertedly.
