Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 145 Nie Ruyue

The last time Chen Yuan went to Lingyun Market, he had to cross the Lingyun Mountains, which took a long time.

This time, he flew at a high altitude and arrived at Lingyun Market in just two hours.

Chen Yuan's trip this time would take a lot of time, so he went to Yunju Mountain first and rented a cave with the word "Di" on it.

This is a cave that can only be rented by cultivators who have established their foundation. It is filled with abundant spiritual energy, comparable to a miniature spiritual vein. The annual rent is one hundred spirit stones.

As a disciple of Lingyun Sect, Chen Yuan had his own privileges. He only spent thirty spirit stones and rented the place for three months.

This is the shortest rental period. Even if he is a disciple of Lingyun Sect, he cannot rent for a shorter period of time.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan came to Baoguang Pavilion to visit Nie Ming.

He didn't have many acquaintances in Lingyun Market, and had only dealt with Nie Ming, the weapon refiner from Baoguang Pavilion.

This person was once rescued by Mo Jingchun. He repaired the Dingguang Mirror magic weapon for Chen Yuan. He did his job conscientiously and without any mistakes, which made Chen Yuan extremely satisfied.

So when Chen Yuan wanted to sell monster materials this time, he thought of him first.

Chen Yuan did not hide his cultivation level this time. After entering Baoguang Pavilion, he revealed the faint spiritual pressure of a foundation-building cultivator.

The several Qi-refining monks who were receiving customers in the store were all surprised when they saw this, and then they respectfully invited Chen Yuan to the second floor.

All the items displayed on the counter on the first floor are magical instruments, which are not of interest to the cultivators who are building their foundation.

There are special people to receive such customers with high levels of cultivation.

Chen Yuan followed a Qi-refining cultivator to the second floor and came to a quiet room.

After a while, a young female cultivator walked into the quiet room. When she saw Chen Yuan, her eyes lit up and she bowed: "My name is Nie Ruyue. I am honored to be the head of Baoguang Pavilion. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

The woman looked to be no more than 29 years old, with a slim figure and pretty features. She was wearing a light-colored open-necked skirt and a transparent silk shawl. She held a round fan with an orchid in her hand and had a smile on her face, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

She did not conceal her spiritual power. Like Chen Yuan, she was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

Chen Yuan returned the greeting with a bow and said calmly, "I am Chen Yuan, and Chief Nie is honored."

Nie Ming knew that he was a disciple of Lingyun Sect, so he did not conceal his identity this time and wore the standard robe of the Lingyun Sect's foundation-building cultivator.

Therefore, Nie Ruyue was very friendly when she saw him.

The people who receive customers in Baoguang Pavilion are all beautiful female cultivators, just like those in the mortal world.

No wonder Baoguang Pavilion has such good business. Although monks do not care about worldly matters, their minds and personalities are no different from ordinary people. They also like beauty and dislike ugliness. If you are received by a beautiful female monk, the possibility of making a deal is undoubtedly much greater.

But Chen Yuan only had the Great Dao in his heart, so he would not be affected by this. After sitting down, he got straight to the point: "I am acquainted with your pavilion's weapon refiner Nie Ming. I came here this time to find him for something. Please let Master Nie pass on the message for me."

Nie Ruyue showed an apologetic look on his face and bowed slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please forgive me. Uncle Nie Ming just rushed back to the clan two months ago and has not returned yet. If you need to find him, you will have to wait for some time."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "How long do we have to wait?"

Nie Ruyue said: "At least two or three months, at most four or five months."

Chen Yuan's face darkened when he heard this.

He came here not only to obtain materials on monsters, but also to ask Nie Ming to upgrade his Silver Gang Sword and identify the spiritual materials used in the strange gloves.

Nie Ming was not here, and he did not know any other weapon refiners, so things became a little difficult.

Nie Ruyue asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen is looking for Uncle Nie Ming, but do you want him to help you refine the weapon?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "That's right."

Nie Ruyue smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Chen is acquainted with Uncle Nie Ming, he should also know that Baoguang Pavilion is the property of my Xiangzhou Nie family. My Nie family has been passed down for hundreds of years and is proficient in refining tools. It is also well-known in the Qi Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. In addition to Uncle Nie Ming, there are several other refiners, and there is also an uncle who is in the foundation-building stage and can refine spiritual tools. If Fellow Daoist Chen needs anything, you may as well tell me. Even if Uncle Nie Ming is not here, I will definitely make you satisfied."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's expression eased slightly.

When he was chatting with Nie Ming before, he had heard Nie Ming say that he was from the Nie family in Xiangzhou. There were many weapon refiners in his family, and they had also recruited many guest officials. There were also many people whose weapon refining skills were better than his.

If we can ask the master weapon refiner in the Nie clan to help us upgrade the grade of the Silver Sword and identify the strange gloves, we should be able to increase our chances of success.

The Silver Sword was still a good idea, but the strange gloves were related to the power of physical cultivation. Chen Yuan was a little hesitant about whether to show them rashly. He trusted Nie Ming, but he didn't know the character of the weapon master.

As the head of Baoguang Pavilion, Nie Ruyue had seen all kinds of cultivators and was very good at observing people's expressions. Seeing Chen Yuan's hesitant expression, she guessed what he was thinking and said softly, "Do you have any doubts, Fellow Daoist Chen? Don't worry, my Nie family in Xiangzhou is also a family business. We have opened Baoguang Pavilion in Lingyun Market for nearly two hundred years. We value our reputation the most. We are very secretive about the spiritual tools refined by our guests and will never reveal any of it to the outside world. Fellow Daoist, you will know once you ask. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Chen is a disciple of Lingyun Sect. How could my Nie family offend you for a spiritual tool?"

These words were quite convincing, and after hearing them, Chen Yuan began to believe them to some extent.

But his face remained calm, and he cupped his hands and said, "I trust the reputation of Baoguang Pavilion. Since Fellow Daoist Nie Ming is not here, the same applies to the transaction between me and Master Nie. Please review it, Master Nie."

He touched the storage bag, and several monster materials appeared out of thin air on the table in front of him, including a damaged python skin, a pair of snake fangs and a second-level water monster pill.

When Nie Ruyue saw the three things on the table, her eyes lit up slightly.

Just now Chen Yuan said that he wanted to ask Nie Ming to refine the weapon, but now he took out the monster materials and wanted to make a deal with Baoguang Pavilion.

She knew in her mind that Chen Yuan was using the monster materials as a stepping stone. If this deal did not satisfy him, there would be no need to discuss the subsequent refining of the equipment.

But if this deal is done, refining equipment will be a natural thing.

If it were an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, Nie Ruyue would not take it so seriously.

But Chen Yuan is a cultivator from the Lingyun Sect and is worth making friends with. His wealth must be more abundant than that of an ordinary cultivator, so this business deal cannot be missed.

She stretched out her hand to pinch the magic pill, held it in front of her, and examined it carefully. The narrow sleeve on her arm seemed to have slipped down inadvertently, revealing a white jade wrist.

Chen Yuan glanced at him indifferently, then looked away and waited quietly.

After a while, Nie Ruyue nodded slightly, put down the demon pill, checked the python skin and snake fangs one by one, and looked up at Chen Yuan: "If I am not mistaken, this should be the demon pill, python skin and snake fangs of the second-level black water python. I am willing to pay 510 spirit stones for it. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen is willing to transfer it?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "The price given by Chief Nie is very fair. I will sell these three items to you."

The market price of a second-level monster's demon core plus the monster materials is around five hundred spirit stones. It fluctuates up or down, but it's only about twenty or thirty spirit stones.

The skin of this black water python had many defects, but Nie Ruyue still offered a price of 510 spirit stones, which showed her sincerity.

However, this python is a demon beast from the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. The quality of its demon pill is better than that of demon beasts from the outside world. Nie Ruyue did not suffer any loss by buying it at this price.

After getting Chen Yuan's reply, she touched her storage bag, and five medium-grade spirit stones and ten low-grade spirit stones appeared out of thin air on the table. Then she put away the three things on the table.

Chen Yuan raised his sleeves and put away the spirit stones, then said, "Master Nie's price is fair. I still have a batch of second-level monster materials that I want to sell to your pavilion. I wonder if your pavilion will accept them?"

Nie Ruyue was stunned. She thought that Chen Yuan was testing with the black water python's demon pill and demon beast materials, and the next step was to discuss refining. She didn't expect that Chen Yuan had more demon beast materials to sell.

However, the second-level monster materials can be used to refine top-grade magic tools, and the more the better. How could she refuse? She immediately agreed: "As long as the quality of the monster materials in Brother Chen's hand is the same as this black water python, I can eat them all."

Although Nie Ruyue wanted to make the deal, she was still cautious and did not agree to it completely, in order to prevent Chen Yuan from relying on his status as a cultivator of the Lingyun Sect to pass off inferior goods as good ones and force purchases and sales.

Although the Nie family has opened a shop in Lingyun Market for more than 200 years and has some connections in the Lingyun Sect and is not afraid of ordinary troubles, they do not want to get into trouble for no reason.

Chen Yuan said, "Master Nie can check it out himself, but I have quite a lot of monster materials in my hands. I wonder if your pavilion can take them all?"

Nie Ruyue smiled and said, "Our pavilion is one of the largest shops in Lingyun Market. If our pavilion cannot take it over, I'm afraid only Yunxiaolou, a subsidiary of your sect, can take it over. But the price offered by Yunxiaolou is lower than our pavilion."

Seeing Nie Ruyue so confident, Chen Yuan nodded, said no more, took out two storage bags and put them on the table: "Brother Nie, please take a look."

Nie Ruyue frowned slightly, not knowing why Chen Yuan was being mysterious and not taking out the monster materials directly, but she still did as he said, picked up the storage bag, and probed into it with her spiritual sense.

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she picked up another storage bag and probed her spiritual sense into it as well. Her body remained motionless, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes revealed shock.

After a long while, Nie Ruyue put down the two storage bags, raised her head and looked at Chen Yuan, her beautiful eyes flickering, and said solemnly: "My Baoguang Pavilion has eaten all these monster materials!"

She never thought that one day she would see so many monster materials!
The two storage bags were filled with various monster materials and colorful monster pills, and more than 90% of them came from second-level monsters, which surprised her.

Nie Ruyue originally thought that Chen Yuan could only take out materials of seven or eight monsters, which was already a huge number, but he took out materials of more than forty monsters at once, which was the amount that Baoguang Pavilion had purchased in several years.

Moreover, after a rough inspection, she found that these monster materials all came from quite powerful second-level monsters, and their value was much higher than ordinary monster materials.

If they could be bought all, they would be able to refine a batch of fine magic weapons, which would be enough to elevate the reputation of Baoguang Pavilion to a higher level, and even make it comparable to Yunxiao Tower.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity should not be missed!
