Chapter 146: Talisman Treasure
The Celestial Thunderbead is similar to the Yin Thunder Seed, but its power is greater. It is crafted using the thunder tribulations of golden core cultivators, and once detonated, everything within a ten-zhang radius will be transformed into a sea of lightning. A late stage foundation establishment cultivator would suffer serious injuries even if they weren't killed.
Both the talisman treasures and the Celestial Thunderbead are extremely expensive items, starting at least from several thousand spiritual stones, something that foundation establishment early to mid stage cultivators wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Jia Fu widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe that Liu Yu possessed such financial resources, nearly thinking he had misheard.
"Of course, there are such items, but they are originally quite expensive. In addition, the cultivation world of Chu State is currently in a state of war, so prices have risen by one or two layers," Jia Fu explained. "I wonder if Liu Daoyou understands."
Jia Fu was indeed a person who had seen the world; the look of surprise in his eyes quickly vanished as he composed himself and asked in a normal tone.
"Please feel free to take out any treasures you have. I, Liu, have a little knowledge of alchemical pill refining, and I have some spiritual stones to spare."
Liu Yu said calmly.
There was nothing to hide about his identity as an alchemist; anyone could find out by checking the jade alchemy hall he established.
Knowing Liu Yu's identity as an alchemist, Jia Fu no longer doubted, but he was not overly surprised either. Top-tier businesses like the Treasure Pavilion generally had their own alchemists, and they wouldn’t lack for common elixirs.
He carefully took out two wooden boxes from his storage bag, placed them on the table, and pushed them over, then continued to sip his tea, seemingly very confident about the items in the brocade boxes.
Liu Yu glanced at Jia Fu and picked up the two brocade boxes, opening them one by one.
"Talisman Treasure!"
In the first brocade box lay a long, rectangular talisman, quiet and undisturbed. The talisman was predominantly yellow, adorned with profound runes, and in the center depicted a vividly lifelike silver needle.
In the second brocade box also lay a long, rectangular talisman, similar in design to the first but with a red background and a depiction of a golden great halberd in the center.
"The Snow Silk Needle Talisman Treasure was created by sealing part of the power of a magical treasure from a mid-stage golden core elder into the talisman. Although it only retains one or two layers of the original treasure's power, it is still extremely effective against cultivators below the golden core stage, and the remaining power can be used one more time."
"The Vajra Halberd Talisman Treasure is made from the magical treasure of an early-stage golden core elder. This is a brand new talisman treasure with no wear, and it can still be used four times."
"These two talisman treasures are the treasures of my shop; the former is priced at eight thousand three hundred spiritual stones, while the latter is priced at sixteen thousand spiritual stones," Jia Fu began to introduce these two talisman treasures.
Liu Yu listened to the introduction, examining the two talisman treasures closely in his hands.
After a moment of scrutiny, he placed the talismans back into the brocade boxes and fell into deep thought, remaining silent.
Seeing this, Jia Fu didn’t rush to inquire, waiting until he finished a cup of tea before asking, "Has Liu Daoyou decided which talisman treasure to choose?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly and looked directly into Jia Fu's eyes, saying, "I intend to take both of these talisman treasures."
With that, he waved his sleeve, and a pile of spiritual stones appeared on the table, exactly twenty-four thousand three hundred pieces, all medium-grade spiritual stones for payment.
Jia Fu was taken aback, looking at the pile of medium-grade spiritual stones on the table, guessing that Liu Yu’s alchemical skills were probably even more remarkable than he had imagined.
