Chapter 610 All About "Luck"

Wei Yunqing, whom Yunxi mentioned, was currently busy in the center of the Qinghua Mountains, trying to acquire some rare and precious materials to supplement her income.

That day, Wei Yunqing was thrown into the deepest part of the Qinghua Mountains by Ranxi. After confirming her location, she vowed to be irreconcilable with Wei Yunxi. She wanted to go back immediately to settle scores with Yunxi, but then she thought that she was no match for Ranxi now and would only make a fool of herself if she went back.

Moreover, even the sect wasn't on her side, and the Wei family was even less reliable. Originally, she wanted to take on two personal disciples in the sect, but judging from Yunxi's words, her chances of taking on disciples in the sect were very slim. So, she had a new idea.

Since she couldn't accept disciples within the sect, she would accept them outside the sect and bring them back to the sect for training. Now that she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she still had the right to accept one or two disciples. The sect wouldn't say anything openly, and it would be even more difficult to stop her. She could also avoid Wei Yunxi to prevent the other party from tampering with her disciple-acceptance. Right now, she was extremely wary of Wei Yunxi.

Having made up her mind, Wei Yunqing was no longer in a hurry to return to the sect. She decided to first take a trip around the Qinghua Mountains to find some resources to monetize, and then see if she could meet any cultivators she liked, take them as disciples, and bring them back to the sect along the way to cultivate a relationship and make the disciples devoted to her.

The plan was wonderful, but reality was cruel. Wei Yunqing searched the entire inner area of ​​the Qinghua Mountain Range but couldn't find a single rare and precious herb, which made her so angry that her spiritual energy almost became disordered.

Shi Lin, a fifth-tier lingli observing from the shadows, was practically spitting fire with anger in his eyes, inwardly complaining:

"Will this stupid female cultivator ever stop? She's already searched twice and found nothing. She should just get lost! What is she still doing here? After she leaves, I'll have to take the children and clean up the place all over again."

The little creatures curled up beside Shi Lin were also a bit anxious. Being unable to burrow underground made their scales itchy, so they asked in their childish voices:

"Father, when can we go into the mountains? That female cultivator isn't that powerful, why don't you drive her away?"

The other little one rubbed its head against its father's hard scales and asked:

"Yes! Yes! She's so stupid. We hid all the good stuff, of course we can't find it. Why is she still digging around there?"

Shi Lin was speechless, because a more powerful cultivator sent him a telepathic message, instructing him to hide all the rare and precious materials within the Qinghua Mountain Range, and not to give even a single leaf to that female cultivator outside who was causing trouble.

He couldn't beat them, so he had to obey orders. Besides, this was a good thing for them. The "Flower in the Stone" he was guarding was about to bloom. It would be a loss if it were snatched away by the female cultivators outside. He could advance to the peak of the fifth rank by consuming this "Flower in the Stone". So he quickly did as he was told.

However, faced with the children's questions, he used his tail to curl the two little ones into his arms, and then vaguely reassured them:

"She'll leave soon, don't disturb her. You can go hiking after you wake up."

Sure enough, an hour later, having found nothing, Wei Yunqing could only leave the center of the Qinghua Mountain Range in a huff and head outwards. There were quite a few spiritual plants and demonic beasts in the outer area, but Wei Yunqing didn't care for them at all. She believed that with her current cultivation level, only a fifth-tier treasure was worthy of her.

Three days later, she stood in front of the Qinghua City gate.

Qinghua City has returned to its former tranquility. The guards at the city gate have been replaced by Foundation Establishment cultivators, with only one Golden Core cultivator secretly overseeing the situation. The alert level has also been lowered.

The people coming and going at the city gate were all cultivators in a hurry. Most of them came to Qinghua Mountain Range for training. Their short stay in the city was to rest and replenish their storage bags, and to exchange the things they found in Qinghua Mountain Range for spirit stones before ending their training and leaving or continuing to go into the mountains to seek opportunities.

Previously, there had been a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators in the Qinghua Mountains, making the area quite lively for a while. However, after the powerful cultivators searched through the Qinghua Mountains and repaired the damage caused by the battle, the area gradually returned to its former state.

Wei Yunqing had gained nothing in the Qinghua Mountains, so she was in a bad mood. She then slipped into Qinghua City, found an inn renting out cave dwellings, and planned to rest for a day before leaving.

Because of her high cultivation level, the innkeeper personally received Wei Yunqing and escorted her to the largest and most spiritually rich cave in the entire inn. Wei Yunqing then asked:
"Has anything interesting happened in Qinghua City lately?"

The boss smiled like a Buddha, and immediately replied respectfully upon hearing the question:

"Senior, recently the 'Treasure Pavilion' in the city launched a new treasure-hunting event, where you can win big with a small investment. Many cultivators have tried their luck."

Some people unearthed top-grade yellow essence stones, while others managed to extract a high-grade spirit stone from a low-grade one. Those less fortunate obtained worthless items, but the losses were minimal, thus attracting many cultivators.

Wei Yunqing became interested after hearing this and asked:

"How to achieve great success with limited resources? What are the different levels of treasures?"

The shopkeeper had already figured out the ins and outs, so he explained with a smile:
"Treasure hunting is divided into three levels: high, medium, and low. Each level requires one high-grade spirit stone, one medium-grade spirit stone, and one low-grade spirit stone. Of course, the quality of the items sealed in the energy-isolated boxes is also different depending on the level. What you can catch depends entirely on luck. After you get the item, you can have one chance to change it."

I've heard that the Treasure Pavilion randomly mixes one unsold item and one upcoming item into the auction; if you happen to find one, you're incredibly lucky.

After hearing this, Wei Yunqing felt that she could go and take a look. This was the first time she had encountered this kind of treasure hunting. After cultivating for a night, she went straight to the Treasure Pavilion the next day.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she was naturally invited to the VIP room. Wei Yunqing also stated that she came to find treasures, just to join in the fun.

The manager of the Treasure Pavilion was beaming. This was practically free advertising for them. Without Wei Yunqing even having to say anything, he placed the highest-grade box in front of her and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency, please take a look. These are the items for today's treasure hunt. Among them is a magical treasure that failed to sell, and a bottle of Youth-Preserving Pill that was drawn from today's auction items. It all depends on your luck."

This was to tell Wei Yunqing that all the items here were top-quality, and that spending just one high-grade spirit stone would be absolutely worth it.

Wei Yunqing nodded reservedly, tossed a high-grade spirit stone to the shopkeeper, and then scanned the ten boxes with her divine sense. Sure enough, she couldn't detect anything, but she still chose a long, narrow box based on her first impression.

"That's it!"

After saying that, he grabbed the box and opened it with a flick of his sleeve.

Inside the box lay a rusty, cyan longsword. The blade was chipped, and the dragon-shaped handle at the hilt was pitted and uneven, clearly indicating that it was a magic weapon whose quality had been reduced.

The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he immediately said ingratiatingly:
“Your Excellency, why don’t you change to something else? You have one chance to change.”

At this moment, Wei Yunqing had already grasped the cyan longsword in his hand, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

　see you tomorrow!
