"Enough! Enough!"
"One cannot solely pursue the Secret Seal; the Secret Seal merely distinguishes Dao Lineage and Spiritual Sense, but it doesn’t mean other Dharma Seals are without merit."
Gu Yuan looked carefully at the two Dharma Seals for a long time, finally sighed deeply, and took the latter one.
Although the Secret Essence Arrow Seal is not a Secret Seal, its power is astonishing, almost unrivaled among the Dharma Seals Gu Yuan has seen.
Gu Yuan needed a trump card.
If a confrontation does occur, thunderous tactics are indispensable!
The most crucial point is that this seal might achieve miraculous effects with the Cloud-Walking Celestial Seal.
"Buzzing!"
Accompanied by Gu Yuan’s actions, the restriction on the Jade Scroll instantly disappeared, and the Jade Order in Gu Yuan’s hand dimmed completely, losing all its luster.
Gu Yuan dared not delay; with a smile at the corner of his mouth, he quickly picked up the Jade Scroll and scrutinized it.
But after just a moment, the smile on his face froze.
"So expensive?!"
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but curse silently in his heart.
In this world, in cultivation, Dharma Seals require the assistance of Dao Patterns, and to refine Dao Patterns, one must purchase spiritual materials.
The two Dharma Seals Gu Yuan held required rare items.
The main material for the Cloud-Walking Celestial Seal was the Dao Pattern from the turtle shell of a Green Turtle of over five hundred years, although not much was needed, it was still an expensive item from a five-hundred-year-old demon.
The Secret Essence Arrow Seal required a piece of "Secret Essence Gold Stone," not too rare, but the auxiliary materials were overwhelming, listed with over a hundred lines, dazzling to behold.
Gu Yuan clutched his Storage Bag tightly, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.
It was like being completely satisfied with a renovation’s effects in the pictures, but feeling deterred immediately upon seeing the price.
Compared to these rare spiritual materials, comprehending the Dao Patterns of the Dharma Seals seemed trivial.
Actually, not all Dharma Seals require such precious spiritual materials; some superior Dharma Seals only require simple spiritual materials.
This is because Dharma Seals emphasize the comprehension and refinement of "Dao Patterns."
Some Dao Patterns can even be found on a three-year-old Spirit Grass, like the Grass Sword Seal.
But to comprehend this Dao Pattern and forge it into a Dharma Seal requires highly exceptional insight.
This world is vast, and "money, companion, Dharma, land" are the four-word secret.
If one’s insight is superb and talent remarkable, it might not be impossible to defy the heavens.
Though Gu Yuan felt distressed over the heavy resource expenditure for these two Dharma Seals, he actually felt relieved.
Because he... wasn’t born to be a prodigy.
If cultivation relied solely on insight rather than consuming resources, it would be bad news for him.
But this matter did not bring him any joy; he could only sigh quietly in his heart.
...
...
Gu Yuan memorized the details of refining the Dharma Seals and then stood up.
The Jade Tower seemed to understand Gu Yuan’s intention, enveloping him in a gentle beam of light, and he suddenly found himself outside the Transmission Hall.
Looking at the golden sunrise spreading across the world, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
With the Dharma Seal in hand, he now felt much more confident; next, he only needed to cultivate step by step.
But before that, he still needed a sum of money to continue cultivating.
"Hopefully, Cyan Crane Spirit Water won’t disappoint me..."
Gu Yuan straightened his Daoist Robe, then mounted the Cloud-Stepping Shuttle and flew towards Silver Moon Bay.
As per the agreement, if Gu Yuan did not repay the Spirit Stones, today would be the day of auctioning the Cyan Crane Spirit Water.
Since Gu Yuan had already successfully refined Spiritual Flood Dragon Celestial Water, he no longer needed Cyan Crane Spirit Water and could naturally exchange it for resources.
This auction impacted Gu Yuan’s future cultivation, and he eagerly hoped for a few spendthrifts to appear.
During the flight, he inexplicably thought of Lan Tianlu.
One wonders whether that guy has consumed the Spirit Water or not?
...
...
The market in Silver Moon Bay was already bustling with people.
Despite the Celestial Star Dark Market’s entrance fee of five Spirit Stones, it was crowded with moonlit figures.
In the vast Celestial Palace, everyone was expectantly watching the highest Jade Platform.
On the Jade Platform, a shadow with an indistinct face was holding a small jade-colored hammer, smiling broadly as he looked below.
