Chapter 187 Continue Refining
Seeing that Zhang Qian was willing to sell, Tian Ye was slightly delighted. After thinking for a while, he said, "This mask of yours is made with mirage energy. Although the grade is not high, it is extremely rare and has many magical uses. I will not let you suffer a loss. How about five innate spirit stones?"

"Five?"

Zhang Qian was a little surprised by the number and looked at Tian Ye thoughtfully.

The price of exchanging five innate spirit stones for acquired spirit stones is 50 billion, but no one is willing to do so.

Turning back to look at Zhan Taixuan, Zhang Qian calmly shook his head and said, "You also said that my mask is extremely rare. Other refiners simply cannot refine it. It is a unique magic weapon. Five innate spirit stones are too few."

Tian Ye smiled gently: "How much do you want, brother?"

"Ten!"

Zhang Qian made a gesture with a confident look on his face.

However, what surprised Zhang Qian was that Tian Ye did not object to the price and said directly: "Okay! Ten pieces is ten pieces, let's trade. Here, these are ten innate spirit stones, brother, keep them!"

Tian Ye agreed very readily, which made Zhang Qian feel a little regretful. It was obvious that Tian Ye was not the one who needed innate spirit stones. Moreover, in Tian Ye's view, the mirage mask was not as simple as ten innate spirit stones.

However, Zhang Qian would not regret it. It was very easy for him to refine the mirage mask. With the magical power of the Qiankun Ding, Zhang Qian could refine it at any time as long as there was enough mirage.

He took out a mirage mask from the storage bag and exchanged it with Tianye. Tianye refined the mask on the spot.

After trying to put it on his face, Tian Ye's appearance changed several times. He said with a look of joy, "It is indeed amazing. The mask made by Brother Dao cannot be seen even by a powerful Yuanshen."

"As long as you like it, now that the transaction is completed, I will take my leave. By the way, Brother Tao, I see that this street is very prosperous. Could it be that the Cloud Peak is also open on weekdays?"

This was also what Zhang Qian found strange. This circular street surrounding the entire fairy mountain was very prosperous. All the shops on both sides of the street were managed by people. It did not look like they would only be open during grand events.

Tian Ye smiled and said, "Brother Dao, you may not know that all the people who run the shops on this street are disciples of our Tianji Pavilion. Our Tianji Pavilion is different from other sects in that we attach great importance to business. All the Cloud Peaks in the 36 states of the world are usually managed by people, and these shops are also open at ordinary times. However, except for the grand events of our Tianji Pavilion, if you want to go to our Cloud Peak, you must have reached the Yuanshen realm to enter, otherwise you can't enter!"

"hiss……!"

Zhang Qian was slightly amazed. He didn't expect that in order to reach the top of the cloud, there would be such terrifying requirements. Except during the grand events of the Tianji Pavilion, if you want to come to the Tianji Pavilion to trade at other times, you must have at least the cultivation level of a spiritual master!

"Brother Tianye is able to run a store on his own. It seems that he has a high status in your Tianji Pavilion, right?"

Zhang Qian suddenly asked a question before leaving.

Tian Ye's face tightened, and he said calmly: "No, there are countless disciples like me in our Tianji Pavilion. In our Tianji Pavilion, if you want to improve your status, it doesn't matter your cultivation or qualifications, but your ability to make money. If you can make thousands of times the profit, even a cultivator who has just manifested his spiritual power can become a core figure with high power."

"this……!"

Zhang Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the way Tianji Pavilion promoted disciples would be like this.

When the two of them walked out of the shop, Zhang Qian said in a strange tone: "Why is this Tianji Pavilion so weird? They don't even look at their cultivation or aptitude when promoting disciples, but only look at their ability to make money. It really doesn't look like a cultivation sect." Zhan Taixuan frowned and said: "Don't you think this is scary? Tianji Pavilion has a peak in the clouds in all 36 states. Over the years, with the way Tianji Pavilion has been doing things, I don't know how much foundation it has accumulated. With such a foundation, even a waste can be turned into a powerful person."

"Indeed, looking at Tian Ye, he doesn't seem to be a core disciple of the Tianji Pavilion, but he can take out ten innate spirit stones without batting an eyelid, just to buy a mask that doesn't have much power. You can imagine how wealthy the entire Tianji Pavilion is. If one day we can rob the entire Tianji Pavilion, we will truly become rich overnight!"

Zhang Qian's eyes lit up when he said this, causing Zhan Taixuan to roll her eyes and scold him, "Why are you always thinking about snatching this and that? If I stay with you, I'll be killed by your ability to cause trouble sooner or later."

"Hehe, you don't understand. If I don't rob others, will others rob me? I didn't expect that the mask I refined would have such value. It turns out that refining equipment and alchemy is the best way to accumulate foundation. I think we should not wander around. This street is so wide, why don't I set up a small stall and exchange the mirage mask for some innate spirit stones?"

Zhan Taixuan looked at Zhang Qian strangely and asked, "Do you still have the mirage mask?"

Zhang Qian smiled slightly: "Of course, you know, I have subdued the entire Frost Nether Mirage Snake clan in Mirage Dragon Lake, so I don't lack Mirage Qi at all. The mask I refined before only used three Mirage Qi beads, and I still have a hundred or so, enough to refine more than a hundred masks. If we sell them all, how much innate spirit stones do you think we can earn?"

Before, Zhang Qian asked Mo Yi to retrieve a hundred or so Mirage Pearls from Han Ming. Only three of them were used to refine three masks, and there were many left, but Zhang Qian did not refine them.

With the magical power of Qiankun Ding in hand, it was extremely easy for Zhang Qian to refine it.

Zhan Taixuan didn't know this. She said hesitantly, "This kind of mask should be very difficult to refine, right? Tomorrow is the Tianji Pavilion's grand event. How can I give you the time to refine so many masks?"

"You are wrong. For others, refining this mask may be impossible, but for me, refining this mask is a piece of cake. Let's find a place to stay and prepare to start refining."

Zhang Qian seemed extremely excited. He led Zhan Taixuan around the streets and finally found a huge shop that provided a weapon refining room. After paying the spirit stones, Zhang Qian dived into the weapon refining room and waved his hand to release the large cauldron he had refined.

Zhan Taixuan stood behind Zhang Qian. Seeing the large cauldron that Zhang Qian had brought out, he scanned it with his spiritual sense and said with some disappointment, "Is this your refining furnace?"

Zhang Qian laughed: "Don't look down on this big tripod of mine, it is a treasure."

Zhan Taixuan behind him secretly curled his lips but said nothing.

Zhang Qian didn't care about her. At this moment, the illusory Qiankun Ding that manifested its magical power had already merged with the big cauldron in front of him, and others could not tell anything.

boom!
Zhang Qian ignited the underground fire in the refining room, and the scorching flames began to burn the entire cauldron.

After trying to control the earth fire, Zhang Qian shook his hand and threw a hazy mirage bead into the cauldron.

hum!
A ray of spiritual light was emitted, and the cauldron trembled slightly. Its power was stimulated, and Taoist patterns appeared on the cauldron's body. Soon the entire cauldron became extremely hot.

Zhang Qian sat cross-legged in front of the big cauldron, his hands moving non-stop, continuously typing out ancient divine symbols. The divine symbols flew into the big cauldron, and the mirage bead in the cauldron instantly dissolved into a very misty cloud.

Moreover, driven by the scorching heat waves in the cauldron, the cloud of mist began to dissipate instantly, but the next moment, without any movement from Zhang Qian, the dissipating cloud of mist suddenly stagnated, and then gathered into shape little by little.
