This made him sigh with helplessness, money really burns fast.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng restrained himself a bit and focused on observing.

If he really wanted to buy something, he decided to look around more and come back later to make a purchase.

During this process, Lu Changsheng overheard someone haggling, chit-chatting, and debating, and he would stand aside and listen if he found it interesting.

In fact, as he wandered and listened along the way, he did indeed learn a great deal and broadened his horizons considerably.

“Fellow Daoist, I’d like to trade this magic artifact fragment for your item. Would you like to exchange?”

“A magic artifact fragment? May I have a look?”

“What kind of magic artifact fragment is this? It’s completely useless, I won’t trade!”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng’s attention was caught by a conversation at a nearby stall, and he turned to look in that direction.

He saw an elegant middle-aged man standing in front of a stall, taking back a black iron lump the size of an egg with a rough surface.

“Fellow Daoist, you said this is a fragment of a magic artifact. Does this fragment have any effects?”

A woman in blue stepped forward and politely inquired of the elegant man.

Clearly, she also heard about the magic artifact fragment and wondered if she could pick up a bargain.

“There is no special effect; it’s just very hard.”

“I once tried hacking it with my middle-grade flying sword magic instrument, and my flying sword ended up with a notch.”

The elegant man said with a pained expression on his face.

His words immediately sparked curiosity among the others who were paying attention.

Being able to notch a flying sword magic instrument meant this was no ordinary scrap.

Even if it wasn’t a fragment of a magic artifact, it was still an extremely rare material.

“This esteemed brother, I am willing to offer twenty Spirit Stones for this fragment, will you sell?”

Someone spoke up.

“Won’t sell. If you want it, you have to pay at least a hundred Spirit Stones!”

The elegant man waved his hand dismissively.

“A hundred Spirit Stones is too expensive, fellow Daoist, I am willing to offer thirty Spirit Stones.”

“Fellow Daoist, could you use your flying sword to hack it again in front of me? If it really notches the sword, I am willing to offer forty Spirit Stones!”

Another person proposed.

However, upon hearing this, the elegant man’s face darkened instantly, and he scolded: “Scram!”

“Fellow Daoist, may I take a look at this magic artifact fragment?”

In the meantime, Lu Changsheng also stepped forward and with a bow, he spoke.

His Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art required heavenly materials and treasures for cultivation.

If the piece in front of him was indeed a fragment of a magic artifact, and he could integrate it into his body for cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, then he wouldn’t just offer a hundred Spirit Stones.

Even two hundred, three hundred Spirit Stones, in his view, would be worthwhile.

Even if it wasn’t a magic artifact fragment, but some kind of heavenly material or treasure, it would still be beneficial for him.

“A hundred Spirit Stones, not a single Spirit Stone less!”

The elegant man handed over the lumpy black iron piece to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng took the piece, which was cool to the touch and somewhat heavy, weighing at least twenty or thirty pounds.

This heaviness of such a small lump of iron also indicated it was out of the ordinary.

Lu Changsheng slowly operated his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, his fingertips reddened slightly as he sensed the essence of heaven and earth within the iron lump.

He immediately felt that the essence contained within was far more vigorous than any of the materials he had purchased before.

Even though he did not know if it was a piece of a magic artifact,

Lu Changsheng was certain it was a good item and that purchasing it was unlikely to result in a loss.

“Fellow Daoist, I don’t have enough Spirit Stones on me; could I use these two Superior Grade Talismans to offset some of the Spirit Stones?”

Lu Changsheng said calmly, taking out two Superior Grade Talismans from his sleeve.

He currently had only one hundred and forty Spirit Stones left on him.

If I buy this shard, I won’t have enough spirit stones to buy anything else.

So I’ll try bartering with goods, while also using up some of the talismans I have on me.

As I’ve wandered around, I’ve seen quite a few exchanges of goods for goods.

After all, most loose cultivators don’t carry that many spirit stones on them for transactions.

“Flying Ascension Talisman, Golden Light Barrier Talisman.”

The refined man immediately recognized the two talismans, his eyes lit up, and he said, “I won’t take advantage of you, these two spirit talismans can offset seventy spirit stones.”

“You just have to give me thirty more spirit stones.”

The refined man stated very directly.

He only guessed that this iron chunk was a fragment of a magical treasure but wasn’t certain himself.

It had been put up for sale several times, and he had sought appraisals, but no one was willing to pay a high price for it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked for only a hundred spirit stones.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng was interested, he was of course very willing to sell.

“Alright, but I’d like to see the notch on this iron chunk that you said was chopped by flying swords,”

“If it’s true, I’ll make the deal immediately,” Lu Changsheng spoke.

The prices for these two talismans were roughly thirty spirit stones each, and the other party was indeed sincere.

However, although he knew the iron chunk was valuable, he couldn’t let on as if he had made a huge gain, as that could raise suspicions.

“Sure.”

Upon hearing this, the refined man took out a deep blue flying sword from his storage bag.

Pointing to a small notch on it, he sighed and said, “You see, this notch is the one I regretfully made with a casual chop.”

Lu Changsheng could see that there was a notch as wide as a finger in the middle of the flying sword.

He nodded immediately, handed over the two talismans to the man, and took out thirty spirit stones, saying, “Alright, in that case, I’ll take the shard.”

“Good! The fellow cultivator is decisive!”

The refined man accepted the talismans and spirit stones, his face showing delight as he gave a bow.

Lu Changsheng also bowed slightly, tucked away the iron shard, and continued to stroll around.

“Tsk tsk tsk, someone actually spent a hundred spirit stones on this so-called magical treasure shard.”

“This iron piece, able to notch a flying sword, is indeed good material, it’s just too small.”

“If it were really worth that much, he would have taken it to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion for appraisal and sale by now, would he have asked for just a hundred spirit stones?”

“Even if it is indeed a fragment of a magical treasure, it must be from a large magical artifact; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a complete lack of enchantments.”

“That’s correct; such fragments of magical treasures are not so easy to melt down. This thing, those who could use it wouldn’t want it, and those who would want it can’t use it.”

“Indeed, it’s of no use to us energy refining cultivators!”

“Who knows, maybe the buyer has some other clever use for it.”

A few people nearby saw this scene and started discussing it aloud.

Lu Changsheng heard the whispers but didn’t mind them.

After all, someone had a point—he indeed had another extraordinary use for it, planning to use it for cultivation.

“I’m not even sure if this thing is a piece of a magical treasure, but if it is, and I can incorporate it into my body for cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, then I’ve really made a small fortune.”

“As long as I complete the first layer of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, my body will be as strong as a lower grade magical instrument, and at that time, my physical body will undergo a qualitative improvement!” Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

After half a year of nurturing, his physical body had already become much stronger than before.

But there was still a significant distance to go before the first layer of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, refining his body to the level of a lower grade magical instrument.

There was no helping it, body refinement techniques are time-consuming and expensive to practice.

And the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art is far superior to ordinary body refinement techniques. He had only been practicing it for a little over half a year.

Having spent over a hundred spirit stones on materials before, and now another hundred on this ‘magical treasure shard,’ Lu Changsheng worried he might attract unwanted attention and decided to leave Southwest Street immediately.

Although Nine Dragons Market was well-regulated under the protection of Qingyun Sect, ensuring good security, it was still best to be cautious in all matters.
