Chapter 381: Chapter 381

When Chen Lifeng and Xiao Jinting were walking on the streets of Sky City, a woman in white with a veil walked past them.

“What a chill!” Xiao Jinting muttered when the woman was out of earshot.

He thought a Qi cultivator would be frozen to death by the woman. Thankfully, there were mostly Golden cores and Nascent Souls in Sky City.

Chen Lifeng frowned. “Ice Fairy’s Physique of Ice is about to explode again.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Chen Lifeng and asked in confusion, “Why do you say that?”

“Nascent Souls should be able to conceal their air, but her air could be sensed easily,” Chen Lifeng said.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “That might be the case, but it is also possible that she doesn’t like others to get close to her.”

“It’s likely. Come on, it’s none of our business. Let’s go,” Chen Lifeng said.

Xiao Jinting replied, “Okay.”

He saw many black-robed cultivators enter an auction house.

“Mr. Chen, there are many cultivators wearing black robes in Sky City!”

Chen Lifeng smiled and said, “The black robes look ordinary, but they are made by Heaven Secrets Tribe. As the robes could stop others from scanning, many cultivators who come to Sky City like to rent one piece to hide their identity. ”

Xiao Jinting exclaimed, “Oh, I see. This tribe is awesome. Why did they refine so many strange magic weapons?”

“Sky City used to be a business center, which was frequented by people from various places. It had to make people feel at home,” Chen Lifeng said.

Xiao Jinting sighed. Such a magical tribe could not escape from the damage of time. “It looks like the tribe family not only excelled at refining magic weapons, but also cared for the customers.”

“The Heaven Secret Tribe was talented in refining magical weapons, far better than any other tribe,” Chen Lifeng said with admiration.

Xiao Jinting was confused, “Since they were so good at refining weapons, why did they get extinct so easily?”

“As the saying goes, the success causes the failure. It is said that Heaven Secret Tribe was destroyed by a magical weapon that it refined,” Chen Lifeng said.

Xiao Jinting paused and sighed. What a tantalizing quirk of fate.

“Mr. Chen, are there any survivors of Heaven Secret?”

“I think there are. It was such a big tribe. However, it’s been so many years, and the bloodline might not be pure,” Chen Lifeng said.

…

On the way, Chen Lifeng was taken away to an internal Nascent Soul Gathering, and Xiao Jinting was left alone.

He rented a black robe and entered a shop in Sky City.

“Hello, what can I help you?” A woman in yellow in the shop asked without much enthusiasm as she looked at Xiao Jinting.

The robe concealed his face and figure, but it didn’t hide his air. The woman in yellow had seen many Nascent Souls, and she didn’t greet Xiao Jinting warmly because she saw that he was only a Golden Core.”

“Do you have Ice Marrow Grass?” asked Xiao Jinting.

“You’re lucky. Ice Marrow Grass was sold out yesterday, but a new batch has just arrived.”

“Can I take a look?”

“Yes.”

The woman in yellow took out a box of Ice Marrow Grass and handed it to Xiao Jinting. He found that the Ice Marrow Grass was less than one thousand years old, but Xiao Jinting did not pick on it and instead bought the box.

Xiao Jinting took the Ice Marrow Grass and left.

The woman in yellow watched him and giggled. “Many people have gone crazy for the reward posted by Ice Palace.”

The woman in purple beside her nodded in agreement.

“Ice Marrow Pill is refined from Ice Marrow Grass of ten thousand years. Tempted by the reward, some people try their luck with low-quality Ice Marrow Grass. It’s a waste of time and herbs,” the woman in purple said.

The woman in yellow rolled her eyes and said lazily, “It never occurs to them that Ice Palace would not have to post the reward if the pill could be refined with Ice Marrow Grass of fewer years.”

“The reward posted by Ice Palace is really tempting. If they want to try, we can’t stop them. It’s time to order another batch of Ice Marrow Grass, as it sells well,” the woman in purple said.

“Exactly. The Ice Marrow Grass of one thousand years was sold out shortly after it arrived, same as the grass of seven hundred years. The cultivator just now was not picky. The box of grass that I took out was less than five hundred years, but he bought it anyway.” The woman in yellow shook her head.

“He is only a Golden Core, who doesn’t have a sharp eye.”

The woman in yellow nodded and said, “He might be a disciple of a Nascent Soul. He wants to make a big fortune overnight. He is young and arrogant!”

…

Xiao Jinting took Ice Marrow Grass and left, oblivious to their conversation.

…

Xiao Jinting planted the Ice Marrow Grass in the Growing Earth and watered it with spiritual water.

To his surprise, the jade space came up with two formulations to improve Physique of Ice without providing the one for Ice Marrow Pill.

When Xiao Jinting was staring at the screen, there was a knock on the door.

He rose to open the door and saw Qiu Yun.

“What brings you here?” asked Xiao Jinting.

“I come to see you,” said Qiu Yun.

He saw the Ice Marrow Grass on the table and glanced at Xiao Jinting, asking, “Are you also interested in Ice Marrow Pills?”

Xiao Jinting nodded and said calmly, “The reward posted by Ice Palace is really tempting, and I can’t help but study it.”
