Chapter 304: Chapter 198 Fake Golden Core Talisman_2

With Tang Xiuyuan’s explanation, Lin Tianming, puzzled, asked, “Daoist Tang, why is this so? Can Golden Core Talismans also have incomplete products?”

Tang Xiuyuan smiled and then began to narrate the origin of the Golden Core Talisman.

“This talisman is condensed by a Fake Core Cultivator, whose effects are significantly less than those of a true Golden Core Cultivator, but it’s much more powerful than the attacks of a common Great Perfection Cultivator. Compared to a Second Order Superior Attack Talisman, this one is incomparable.”

“Fake Core Cultivators are those who have failed to break through to the Golden Core Realm. They have condensed a Golden Core but failed to withstand the Threefold Golden Elixir Thunder Tribulation. Nevertheless, the True Essence Spiritual Power inside their bodies has already been formed, maintaining a Fake Elixir Realm. Their strength lies somewhere between that of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator and a Golden Core Cultivator,” he explained.

“As for this Fake Golden Core Talisman, it is a concentration of the Fake Core Cultivator after they passed on. Although its effects cannot surpass a true Golden Core Talisman, its power should certainly not be underestimated.”

Once Tang Xiuyuan finished speaking, Lin Tianming completely understood the origins of the talisman and then said:

“Daoist Tang indeed has broad vision. In this light, it’s no wonder you’re willing to part with this talisman. If it were a complete Golden Core Talisman, I’m afraid your pavilion wouldn’t sell it at all.”

“Hehe… That goes without saying. If it were a real Golden Core Talisman, even we, the Sky Dragon Pavilion, or any Golden Elixir Forces, wouldn’t easily part with it,” Tang Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Lin Tianming nodded, then asked, “So, at what price is this Fake Golden Core Talisman being sold?”

“Since Daoist Chen has asked, I won’t ask for too much—thirteen thousand Spirit Stones for you,” Tang Xiuyuan said.

“Thirteen thousand Spirit Stones?” Lin Tianming exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Lin Tianming’s astonished expression, Tang Xiuyuan’s face changed slightly, then he said:

“This is a Fake Golden Core Talisman, after all, not something that a Second Order Superior Attack Talisman can compare with. At an auction, this item could easily go for more than fifteen thousand Spirit Stones. I’m giving you this low price because I feel a sense of kinship with Daoist Chen.”

Thinking it over carefully, Lin Tianming then felt reassured.

While the price of this Fake Golden Core Talisman could compare to more than four Second Order Superior Attack Talismans, those talismans could at best injure a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivator and would struggle to directly kill one. However, even an incomplete Golden Core Talisman could unexpectedly kill a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator.

With such a comparison, spending thirteen thousand Spirit Stones for such a deadly weapon was certainly not a loss.

Making up his mind, Lin Tianming promptly took out thirty-five thousand Spirit Stones and handed them to Tang Xiuyuan, signaling he would buy the Fake Golden Core Talisman along with the Spiritual Medicine Materials and Second Order Talismans.

Tang Xiuyuan received the hefty amount of Spirit Stones, verified the quantity, and then looked surprised.

He didn’t expect Lin Tianming to be so decisive and affluent. He wondered whether Lin Tianming was a core disciple of some Golden Elixir Force or a direct heir of a prominent Foundation Establishing Family.

Unfortunately, Lin Tianming did not reveal any information from beginning to end, nor did he expose any cultivation or secrets, leaving Tang Xiuyuan rather helpless.

Returning to his senses, Tang Xiuyuan handed over the Fake Golden Core Talisman and all other talismans and spiritual medicines to Lin Tianming. The transaction was complete—Lin Tianming acquired a large number of talismans, and Tang Xiuyuan sold treasures for a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.

At this point, Lin Tianming, despite having spent over thirty thousand Spirit Stones, did not feel any pain at the cost.

He was now exceedingly wealthy, having received fifty thousand Spirit Stones for advancing the White Jade Grass purchase for his family. Before coming to Qianchuan Market, he had collected that sum, and together with several storage bags from the Secret Realm, his personal Spirit Stone tally had increased by more than sixty thousand. In total, he had over a hundred twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

In addition to that, he had many treasures. The Foundation Establishment Pill Spiritual Medicine Materials stored by his family were, strictly speaking, his personal possessions; he wasn’t short on Spirit Stones for the time being.

Gathering his thoughts, while chatting casually, Lin Tianming then inquired, “Daoist Tang, does your shop also have any Second Order Alchemy Furnaces for sale? The higher the quality, the better.”

“Second Order Alchemy Furnace?” Tang Xiuyuan pondered.

After a short while, he replied, “Second Order Pill Furnaces are not easy to find. Even in our Sky Dragon Pavilion, they are rare. We only have two Second Order Inferior Grade Alchemy Furnaces, which I’m afraid might not meet Daoist Chen’s standards.”

At this, Lin Tianming was somewhat disappointed.

He still relied on the Four Symbols Furnace, a First Order Superior Grade Pill Furnace, for alchemy. It could barely be used to concoct Second Order Inferior Grade Pills, but its pill formation rate and yield were impacted. As his alchemy skills improved, the Four Symbols Furnace no longer met his needs.

Second Order Pill Furnaces were hard to acquire. A furnace of the same grade was worth at least several times more than a magic artifact of equivalent grade, especially those of Second Order Medium Quality or above, which were even rarer and more precious.

However, he didn’t think much of Second Order Inferior Grade Pill Furnaces—if he bought one, it would only be a matter of a decade or so before it ceased to satisfy his needs.@@novelbin@@

Previously when he concocted Foundation Establishment Pills, he had borrowed his grandfather’s Three Star Furnace; otherwise, the pill formation rate and yield would have been even lower. His grandfather had even suggested that he use the Three Star Furnace himself, an offer he directly declined.

Under these circumstances, he would need at least a Second Order Medium Quality Pill Furnace to last him a few decades; so that he wouldn’t need to search for a new furnace before entering the Golden Core Stage.

Seeing Lin Tianming’s slightly disappointed expression, Tang Xiuyuan suddenly thought of something and then spoke up:
