Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 438: Chapter 437: Seeing the Chaos Tree Fragment Again

"Blood Dragon Fruit, Purple Scale Grass, Wugu Vine, Golden Flame Joy Flower, Seven-leaf Jade Plum Seeds..."

Qin Feng walked past one stall after another. His eyes gleamed as they swept across the marketplace, which snaked along like a great dragon.

’So rare, truly rare. These Spirit Medicine Seeds all went extinct in later ages. Even the Medicine King Hall is missing many of these!’

He was secretly overjoyed. His Chaos Heaven had only just been established, and it was in desperate need of these Spirit Medicine Seeds to coalesce Vitality and balance its life force.

Qin Feng walked past the stalls one by one, but he didn’t make a move. If even the small stalls in the marketplace were selling these Spirit Medicine Seeds, then the dedicated medicine shops were bound to have a more complete selection.

In addition to Spirit Medicine, there was also Spirit Iron, Fierce Beast Flesh and Blood, pelts, Horn Bones, and more.

Many vendors dressed as Martial Artists were selling captured Fire Crow fledglings.

As Qin Feng passed a small stall, the owner grabbed him and said,

"Hey, brother! Come take a look. I’ve got a Three-legged Fire Crow chick here. Only one thousand Top-grade Spirit Crystals—I’m practically giving it away!"

The stall owner’s shifty eyes sized up Qin Feng as he put on an exceptionally enthusiastic air.

The young stall owner had been watching Qin Feng for a while. Though Qin Feng was dressed plainly, no different from the other adventurers, the vendor’s instincts told him that this was no ordinary Martial Artist.

His indifferent gaze, in particular, set him a world apart from the other cautious Martial Artists—the difference was like that between the clouds and the mud.

"A Three-legged Fire Crow chick? That is rare. But while the Three-legged Fire Crow may not be a True Spirit, it is a high-ranking Fierce Beast with an exceptionally pure bloodline. From what I know, a mature Three-legged Fire Crow has the power of a Third-level Beast Emperor. You’re telling me you had the nerve to go steal one of its eggs?"

Qin Feng shot the young stall owner a look that was half a smile, half a sneer.

The young vendor didn’t panic in the slightest. "Well, you could say it was a stroke of luck. That day, I just so happened to see the Three-legged Fire Crow getting ambushed by a Red-Scaled Dragon Python—a beast covered in crimson scales with Dragon Horns on its head..."

Qin Feng didn’t believe a word of it.

’If he’d really stumbled upon a battle between a Three-legged Fire Crow and a Red-Scaled Dragon Python, forget about snagging a prize—he’d have been blasted to bits by those two Barbaric Beasts first.’

’Barbaric Beasts of that caliber are more cunning than even Giant Level Martial Artists. They’d never leave an opening for someone like him to take advantage of.’

"Alright, Big Bull, stop spinning yarns. No one’s buying that story!" a neighboring stall owner sneered.

As he spoke, he turned to the black-clad young man with an eager expression. "Brother, you should check out the treasures at my stall instead! I risked life and limb to scavenge these from the Golden Crow Battlefield. I’ve got Spirit Medicine Seeds, Spirit Iron Elite Soldiers, and some other peculiar items. Who knows, you might find a priceless Treasure among them!"

The young vendor’s expression turned cold. He shot the man a scornful look and sneered, "Old Tian, what’s worth seeing over there? It’s nothing but a pile of scrap you picked up from the Golden Crow Battlefield—junk that nobody wants!"

Seeing the look on Qin Feng’s face, the young vendor knew the sale was a bust. He stopped bothering with him and moved to the other side of his stall to solicit other customers.

Qin Feng chuckled softly, his gaze shifting to the neighboring stall of the old vendor.

The stall was cluttered with quite a few items, all jumbled together in a large pile. But just as the other vendor had said, it was mostly worthless junk—a few long sabers and Ancient Swords with visible nicks in their blades, and several tattered Beast Hides.

There were also some shredded Cultivation Technique Manuals.

A few small bags contained some Spirit Medicine Seeds. Qin Feng had a discerning eye; while these seeds were somewhat valuable, they weren’t good enough for him.

The old vendor was quite adept at reading expressions. Noticing Qin Feng’s noncommittal look and clear lack of interest, he pressed on. "Young Master, come take a look! This is all good stuff. Don’t mind the nicks on these sabers and Ancient Swords; they’re still plenty sharp! These are weapons fit for elite soldiers, real life-savers for any new Martial Artist. And they’re cheap—only a few Middle-grade Spirit Crystals!"

Growing anxious, he gritted his teeth and pulled a gnarled, ginseng-like tree root from his pouch.

"Then take a look at this Treasure! I risked my life to get this from a great personage. He was heavily wounded, lying unconscious on the battlefield. I swear, I risked it all to fish this out of his robes! An item that a powerhouse like that kept so close to his body must be worth a fortune!"

Nearby, the vendor called Big Bull sneered. "Old Tian, you’re spouting nonsense again. What great personage? You’ve been daydreaming too much! How could an existence of that level just happen to collapse in front of you, letting you get a lucky break!"

The old vendor flushed with anger. "It’s the absolute truth!"

Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the root-like object. It looked utterly unremarkable, like a common piece of a dead tree root.

It radiated no Spiritual Qi, nor did it have any grand, unusual appearance.

’It’s actually a Chaos Tree Fragment?’

’Qin Feng’s expression remained impassive, but inwardly he was reeling. How could he not recognize this thing? It was clearly another Chaos Tree Fragment.’

’This is a Wood Attribute Divine Object. While this piece isn’t from the main trunk, it’s still a substantial fragment.’

’If he could have the Chaos Tree absorb its essence, the sapling in his Chaos Heaven would surely shoot up in height.’

Seeing Qin Feng fall into contemplation, the old vendor grew anxious.

"Young Master, this item truly came from the hands of a great figure from the Sea of Reincarnation! I’m really not lying to you!"

Qin Feng nodded. "You don’t seem to be lying. I don’t know what kind of Treasure this is, but if a great personage kept it on their person, it must be something rare. How about ten Top-grade Spirit Crystals?"

Ten Top-grade Spirit Crystals was a considerable fortune. One Top-grade Spirit Crystal was equal to ten Middle Grade Spiritual Roots, or one hundred Lower Grade Spiritual Roots.

One Low-grade Spirit Crystal was worth one hundred taels of Gold.

This was a massive sum.

The old vendor’s eyes lit up. But when he thought about the Treasure’s origins, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Master, this item has a mysterious background. Since a great personage kept it on their person, it must be priceless. It’ll be at least twenty Top-grade Spirit Crystals!"

"Alright, you have a deal." Qin Feng chuckled, and with a flip of his hands, two purple Spirit Crystals appeared in his palm.

These were the finest quality purple Spirit Crystals; a single one was equivalent to ten Top-grade Spirit Crystals.

Thankfully, Qin Feng had used Points to exchange for some at the Contribution Hall before he left. Otherwise, he would have missed this fortuitous encounter.

When he saw Qin Feng agree so readily, the vendor was instantly flooded with regret. ’For him to accept so quickly, this Treasure had to be worth far more than twenty Top-grade Spirit Crystals.’

But it was too late for regrets.

"I’ll pay fifty Top-grade Spirit Crystals!" Just then, an indifferent voice cut in.

Overjoyed, the vendor turned his head.

A dozen or so paces away, a man and a woman were approaching. The man was handsome and imposing, while the woman was strikingly beautiful.

The speaker was the man—a young man in brocade robes with a face as smooth as jade. He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, with sharp, chiseled features, thin lips, and a high, full forehead. A single glance revealed his extraordinary status; he was clearly born into wealth and nobility.

"Put down what’s in your hand," he commanded. "This young master is taking it!"

His gaze landed on Qin Feng, his eyes filled with a domineering arrogance, as if the entire world was meant to revolve around him.
