Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World

Chapter 123: Wang Qiang’s Treasure Hunt and the Protagonist’s Halo (Final)



"This compass shows obvious signs of use, the notch seems to be bitten off by a mystical beast called the Cyan Nether Wolf, it should be an item picked up after some low-level Qi Cultivator's bad end."

"As for this map..."

"And this stick..."

"As for this bronze lamp, it's quite simple, it's just a mortal's lamp artificially aged, did you see the words at the back? Translated into Huaxia language it means 'Chen's Grocery', and the line next to it reads 'Buy three, get one free big promotion'. "

Wang Qiang looked at Wei Qiangsheng with a face of despair as he enthusiastically dismissed each piece that she and Wu Fan sourced, as if categorizing garbage.

Even though now has the Celestial Yuan Earth Essence at the bolstering point, it's absolutely impossible for her to face a complete loss—after all, she said she is willing to hand over the Celestial Yuan Earth Essence to the organization, so the organization would never treat her unfairly.

In simple terms, this lady is already a prospective rich lady.

But money is one thing, the feeling of being scammed is another thing.

The main thing is that the truth behind these items is just too disrespectful, except for the compass all are mortal items—the so called 'Demon Realm' on that map actually refers to a lizard farm outside Ziqiong City!

Thinking about that delicate-looking female vendor, Wang Qiang's mouth twitched a few times.

Who says someone with a delicate appearance isn't a swindler?

The human heart is dangerous.JPG.

However, just as she was preparing to swallow this major loss, Wei Qiangsheng suddenly made a sound of suspicion:

"Oh?"

Hearing this sound of suspicion, everyone instinctively looked up simultaneously.

At this moment Wei Qiangsheng's gaze was puzzlingly focused on the last unappraised small piece of wood.

This piece of wood is about five to six centimeters long, its dried-up body is full of pits and grooves, without even a single branch or bud, and devoid of any vitality.

If it weren't for that female vendor telling them this small piece of wood was found in the depths of some secret realm, suspected to be some unknown ancient relic, Wang Qiang would have almost thought it was just a normal broken piece of wood.

Of course, after Wei Qiangsheng's previous appraisals, Wang Qiang had already confirmed in her heart that it was indeed just a broken piece of wood—that female vendor's words couldn't be trusted at all, it's simply too unfair.

But now Wei Qiangsheng seems to have discovered something else?

Wei Qiangsheng examined the piece of wood with a frown, then said to everyone:

"This piece of wood looks like just any rotten piece of wood found anywhere, I also used divine sense to investigate its interior, it is unlikely to be some spiritual material capable of emitting spiritual energy.

However, I can vaguely perceive a very faint spiritual energy present on its surface... strange, strange.

Miss Wang, how was the cultivation of the person who sold you this piece of wood?"

Wang Qiang exchanged a glance with Wu Fan, and Wu Fan replied:

"She claimed to be at the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation."

Wei Qiangsheng stroked his chin and contemplated:

"Third-Layer Qi Cultivation, huh... this point shouldn't be a lie, it also matches about what I estimated.

After all, if she could reach Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation, the creation means of that jade slip wouldn't be so unbearable, only enough to deceive ordinary people.

Hmm, if that's really the case, then it's understandable she couldn't detect the spiritual energy of the wood with divine sense."

After saying this.

Wei Qiangsheng frowned, hesitated for a few breaths.

Then as if making up his mind, he took out a talisman from the spatial bag he carried.

"This is a second-tier Seeking Talisman, and of excellent quality, it's one of the items Wei Mansion purchased this time."

Holding the talisman in his hand, Wei Qiangsheng introduced to everyone:

"Once activated, this talisman can scan and perceive a specific area, lock onto regions with the most abundant spiritual energy, prioritizing targets with life.

This is why it's generally used to explore rare materials in ruins or secret realms, and sometimes it's also used as a detection talisman to seek the spirit stone mines within specific areas."

During the transactions these days, the members of the trade group already have a fairly rough understanding of the talisman industry in the Damo Realm.

Second-tier high-grade perception talisman, although it hadn't showed up on the list provided by Yang Bolin, just from the name you can tell its price won't be cheap.

It might require several hundreds of spirit stones to purchase.

Lin Ziming was just about to advise against wasting such a talisman here, but then Wei Qiangsheng activated the talisman first:

"Colonel Lin, our caravan was able to earn so many spirit stones this time, entirely relying on the help from our native land, otherwise we wouldn't have possibly avoided the last price limit wave.

So if we're spending this talisman, let it be spent; compared to the cost of this talisman, the spirit stones Wei Mansion earned this time are way more."

After speaking, Wei Qiangsheng calmed down and began to check the wooden block in front of him with the Seeking Talisman.

Lin Ziming watched and didn't want to interrupt. Seeing how seriously Wei Qiangsheng was working, he motioned for everyone to step back.

Everyone tacitly took a few steps back, firstly so as not to block the light, and secondly to avoid putting too much pressure on Wei Qiangsheng.

When the Seeking Talisman was activated, it looked a bit like a laser scanner, a faint purple light emitted from the center of the talisman, then scanned the wooden block closely.

Wei Qiangsheng was a very reliable senior, extremely experienced, using his skillful hands to direct the purple light onto the wooden block from every angle.

Sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, gently rubbing, twisting, wiping, challenging again...

Wang Qiang watched the scene like a melon-eater, suddenly thought of something, and quietly said to Wu Fan:

"Hey, don't you think what President Qiangsheng is doing right now looks like a certain profession?"

Wu Fan blinked, thought for a moment:

"What profession, an ear-picker?"

Wang Qiang was about to reply that it was a micro-sculptor, you dummy, but just before speaking, she realized that once she accepted this idea, Wei Qiangsheng's actions indeed seemed more like those of an experienced ear-picker...

So this Sichuan Province girl dug her ear with her little finger and started chatting with Wu Fan about which ear-picking shop in Modu was better.

After about ten minutes, Wei Qiangsheng suddenly shouted in a low voice:

"I found it!"

Everyone immediately perked up when they saw this and returned to the topic, gathering around again.

Wei Qiangsheng was carefully holding two objects slightly larger than rice grains. Due to their very small size, it was temporarily impossible to see their appearance clearly.

At that moment, the shock on Wei Qiangsheng's face was not much less than when he had first seen the Earth Essence Spirit. He forcefully calmed his emotions and began to introduce:

"This thing is called Moya Crystals, and it's an excellent auxiliary spiritual object for cultivators with wood-attributed Spiritual Roots.

After cultivators refine it, not only can it cleanse Spiritual Root flaws just like the Earth Essence Spirit, greatly increasing cultivation speed.

It can also nurture a spiritual pet called Wind Butterfly, which is an excellent helper for optimizing and cultivating Spirit Fields, and can even serve as a flying mount and battle aid.

The current market price for one Moya Crystal is at least eighty thousand Spirit Stones, and it's priceless, who would have thought that two of them would appear here in this tiny rotten wooden block..."

Wang Qiang didn't pay the slightest attention to the price mentioned in the latter half of Wei Qiangsheng's sentence. This unusually frugal girl had gone through a lot of emotional turmoil and wasn't as much of a money-grubber anymore—at least not in this situation.

She clapped her hands vigorously, like a mother relieved to see her son get into college, and said to Wu Fan:

"Xiaowu, did you hear?

Wood-attributed Spiritual Root, you can use it now, right? I told you, you definitely have protagonist halo...and there's two of them, so maybe..."

But before Wang Qiang could finish speaking, Wei Qiangsheng interrupted her:

"You're talking about Wu Fan? I'm afraid he can't use them."

Wang Qiang paused again, mechanically turned her head,

a string of question marks appeared on her face, only seen on Yasuo:

"?????"

Wei Qiangsheng shrugged innocently at her, indicating what he was going to say had nothing to do with him personally, and said:

"Moya Crystals are different from Earth Essence Spirit; they require at least dual Spiritual Root aptitude to refine, otherwise, just its ability to optimize Spirit Field would increase its price even more.

So... I apologize, Wu Fan's four Spiritual Roots aptitude is probably not able to use them."

Wang Qiang, Wu Fan, Lin Ziming: "...."

While everyone was speechless, Ma Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, as he thought of something.

He picked up the list Lin Ziming had used to check Wu Fan's Spiritual Roots, glanced over it, and showed a surprised expression, saying:

"One Earth Essence Spirit and one Wood-attributed Moya Crystal, requiring dual Spiritual Roots.

Earth and Wood, Earth and Wood, doesn't that perfectly fit Cao Yi's attributes?"

Wang Qiang opened her mouth, about to speak, but then a flash of enlightenment struck her mind.

She was silent for a moment, then regretfully patted Wu Fan's shoulder:

"Xiaowu, turns out you're the Greedy Wolf, and Cao Yi is Wang Mazi then..."
