The Desolate Building was the largest Spiritual Material Trading Pavilion in Taihuang City. There were countless Spiritual Materials here, and it was even more complicated than the one in the Wu house.
Ye Xingchen stepped into the Desolate Building and bought the Spiritual Materials he needed.
He thought for a few days. If he wanted to deal with a cultivator whose cultivation was far higher than his, he had to use a powerful killing array to lure him into it. Or, he had to assimilate the cultivator to the same cultivation level as him.
He found a formation called the Hundred Transformations Formation in the System Shop.
The so-called Hundred Transformation Array was to neutralize the cultivation of different cultivators and suppress them within a certain range.
This array was very complicated and profound. It was a mid-grade rank five array and required ten million luck points to exchange for.
Fortunately, Ye Xingchen had obtained close to ten million luck points after killing Yan Qingfeng. Together with his remaining luck points, it was enough to exchange for this array.
However, he regretted it after exchanging for the array.
This array only gave him a control array disc. It didn't give him any of the Spiritual Materials he needed to inscribe the array.
That was why he came to the Desolate Building to buy the Spiritual Materials he needed.
He sent the Spiritual Marks needed for the Hundred Flowers Array into his mind. With his sixth-grade Spiritual Divine Sense, he could barely inscribe them.
In the Desolate Building, the Spiritual Materials on display were all precious. The lowest rank was rank four, and there were some quasi-rank five, lower, mid-grade, and even superior-grade Spiritual Materials.
Ye Xingchen was surprised. The Desolate Building must have a powerful force behind it. Otherwise, these Spiritual Materials would have been snatched away.
For example, there was a Five-Color Lotus, an upper-grade, matured Five-Color Lotus. The petals were crystal clear, and the lotus seeds were like jade. They shone with a dazzling light, and wisps of five-colored light were emitted from the Five-Color Lotus.
This Five-Color Lotus was of a much higher grade than the one Ye Xingchen had obtained. His was only quasi-rank five, so it couldn't be considered precious.
"The Hundred Flowers Array requires quasi-rank five Spiritual Jades, Spiritual Stones, fifth-grade Spiritual Blood, and mid-grade Heavenly Wood."
As Ye Xingchen walked around the Desolate Building, he had already purchased quasi Tier 5 Spirit Jades. When he spiritualized, he would have Tier 5 Spirit Blood. The only thing he lacked was Medial Tier 5 Heavenified Wood.
Virtual Points could be used to pay in the Barren Building. Otherwise, Ye Xingchen would not have enough Spirit Crystals on him.
He had a hundred thousand virtual points on him, which he had obtained from winning against Zhang Tianyan.
These spirit materials cost him ten thousand virtual points.
Ye Xingchen recalled the records regarding the Heavenform Wood, which is formed from the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. It contains the profound mystery of the coexistence of Yin and Yang, and can dissolve the spirituality of all living things. It is a rare and precious spirit material.
"Little brother, we meet again." An aged voice rang out beside Ye Xingchen.
"You are?" Ye Xingchen was confused.
Suddenly, he remembered that the old man before him was the old man who had bought the jade pendant from him at the market a month ago.
"I am Su Yang Rong, an Artifact Appraiser," the old man introduced himself. "I wonder if you still have the jade pendant that you bought."
"I am Ye Heng from the Wu house," Ye Xingchen said, giving a fake name. "I'm sorry, Senior Su, but I don't want to buy the jade pendant."
"Haha, I don't want to buy the jade pendant. I just want to tell you that it is an item of providence. It will be beneficial for you to keep it with you," Su Yang Rong said with a smile.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior," Ye Xingchen said. "However, I already knew that it was an item of providence."
Su Yang Rong's expression changed. "Little brother, are you an Artifact Appraiser?"
"No," Ye Xingchen said.
Being an Artifact Appraiser was different from Talisman Masters and Spirit Formation Masters. It was a special occupation. Cultivators who studied this occupation could not increase their battle prowess.
Of course, Artifact Appraisers were generally knowledgeable and well-versed in ancient history, ancient texts, and ancient texts. Their status in the Xuanyu territory was relatively high.
After all, there were many relics in the Xuanyu territory, and the ancient texts unearthed from them all required Artifact Appraisers to identify, analyze, and translate them.
In fact, apart from Artifact Appraisers, there were also Ancient Literatures Masters. This occupation shared some similarities with Artifact Appraisers.
"Then how do you know that it is an item of providence?" Su Yang Rong was puzzled.
"Intuition," Ye Xingchen said.
Su Yang Rong frowned. He felt that this young man was talking nonsense. Wasn't it the biggest joke in the world to judge an item of antiquity based on intuition?
Ye Xingchen's position in Su Yang Rong's heart dropped significantly.
Ye Xingchen didn't mind at all. He had no interest in being an Artifact Appraiser, and he wasn't worried about angering the old man.
All he wanted to do was to find the Heavenized Wood and complete the Hundred Transformation Array. Then, he would lure those who wanted to kill him into the array and kill them.
"Haha, Little Brother, appraising an ancient spiritual item isn't just based on intuition. It requires a wealth of knowledge and experience."
Su Yang Rong felt that although this young man was full of nonsense, he could still be saved. "If you are interested in appraising, I can give you some pointers."
As soon as the old man finished his words, the people around him looked at him with envy.
As an Artifact Appraiser, Su Yang Rong was famous in the Taihuang City. The young man in front of him must have gotten lucky to be valued by him.
"No, thank you." Ye Xingchen frowned and was about to walk away from the old man.
At this moment, a mocking voice was heard. "Kid, you're quite arrogant. Is Elder Su unable to give you pointers?
Or do you think that your appraisal skills are better than Elder Su's? "
Ye Xingchen looked at the entrance of the Wasteland Building. A young man in white walked in with a folding fan in his hand.
He was handsome and had a jade pendant hanging from his waist. It was glowing with spiritual light and had a sense of history. One look and anyone could tell that it was a precious ancient spiritual item.
He walked in front of Su Yang Rong and said respectfully, "Elder Su."
Then, he walked in front of Ye Xingchen and looked down at him. "Kid, it's your honor that Elder Su is willing to give you pointers. How dare you make excuses?"
Su Yang Rong stood at the side. His face darkened after being rejected, but he didn't stop the young man in white.
"Who do you think you are to lecture me? Get lost." Ye Xingchen's eyes turned cold. He released a strong aura that forced the young man in white to retreat.
At the crucial moment, the jade pendant on his waist emitted a gentle glow that blocked the pressure for him. He didn't embarrass himself in front of everyone.
"What a strong aura."
Everyone was astonished. This young man was so young and had such a high cultivation level. He did have the right to be arrogant. However, he had angered the Qin Clan of Taihuang City.
The young man in white was called Qin Hong, a member of the Qin Clan of Taihuang City. The leader of the Qin Clan was the mayor of Taihuang City. He controlled the entire city. Even the leaders of the Wu house and the Wind Moon Pavilion had to be polite to him.
Su Yang Rong was surprised. This Wu house's disciple wasn't weak. He was at the top of the younger generation.
Qin Hong's face darkened. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly, "Kid, do you know who I am?"
"I'm not your father. How would I know who you are?" Ye Xingchen was baffled.
"You're courting death."
Qin Hong was about to attack when Su Yang Rong stopped him. He knew the leader of the Qin Clan and he didn't want anyone from the Qin Clan to die in front of him.
