Chapter 95: Meteoric Iron

Chu Qing was unwilling to say more and Ye Chenxi did not ask further. Zhai Yu took out a tablet from somewhere and brought it to Chu Qing. He opened a document and said, “The goods from this auction are all here. What kind of strange metal do you want?”

Chu Qing took the tablet and placed it in front of the three of them. Everyone checked the items on the tablet together. This auction was only a regular auction of the World Treasures Auction House, so the scale was not very big. There were more than 70 items in total.

Among them, Chu Qing’s Spirit Stone was one of the final items. After hurriedly flipping through it, Chu Qing was a little disappointed. There was nothing that caught his eye, let alone the level of divine metals and spiritual materials that Chu Qing wanted.

Chu Qing’s answer was written all over his face. Zhai Yu was very indignant when he saw this. No matter what, the World Treasures Auction House was one of the top trading companies in the empire. Why did he feel like he was despised by Chu Qing?

Zhai Yu was unwilling to give up. He took the tablet from Chu Qing’s hand and gently swiped his fingertips on the screen to one of the pages of the auction materials. At that time, there was a piece of meteoric iron. It was fiery red and looked very pleasing.

Zhai Yu enthusiastically discussed the properties of the meteorite iron, trying to capture Chu Qing’s attention. He explained, “This meteorite iron, despite its small size, is incredibly heavy, weighing hundreds of kilograms. When combined with an ordinary weapon, it can transform it into a divine weapon. It’s the most valuable item in this auction. But that’s not all. It has another intriguing characteristic. It can heat up and burn your hand. When I first appraised it, I nearly burned myself.”

Zhai Yu’s excitement and praise for the meteorite iron were evident as he shared its remarkable qualities.

Chu Qing remained unimpressed by Zhai Yu’s description of the meteoric iron. To him, it was nothing more than an ordinary piece of peculiar metal. In the world of cultivation, he had encountered and discarded hundreds, if not thousands, of similar items without much thought. The significance and value Zhai Yu attached to it seemed trivial in comparison.

“If the only requirement to forge a divine weapon is mixing some meteoric iron, then the standard for divine weapons is truly underwhelming. Personally, I find the color of this meteoric iron more suitable for a chair at a festive event,” Chu Qing voiced his opinion.

Zhai Yu, displeased with Chu Qing’s comment, extended his middle finger and retorted, “A chair? Aren’t you afraid of burning your butt?”

After hearing Zhai Yu’s words, Chu Qing suddenly remembered that this meteoric iron had the characteristic of heat. He changed his words and said, “It can’t be made into a chair, but it can be made into a frying pan. It doesn’t need to waste energy. I just don’t know if that temperature is enough to fry an egg. If it really doesn’t work, it can be thinned and spread under the floor. It’s also natural ground heat.”

The more Chu Qing spoke, the brighter his eyes became. He no longer looked down on this meteoric iron. Instead, he was excited. Why didn’t he think of this in the past? Meanwhile, Zhai Yu’s face was already as black as the bottom of a pot. It was simply a waste of natural resources. Not only that, but Chu Qing also said it seriously. This was the most infuriating.

When Ye Chenxi heard Chu Qing’s words, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. Zhai Yu suffered a huge blow and stuffed the tablet back into Chu Qing’s hands. He made up his mind to ignore Chu Qing.

Chu Qing had nothing to do, so he continued to flip through the items in boredom. Suddenly, he discovered a very familiar thing, the Cloudroot Stone. Even the name had not changed. A look of nostalgia flashed across Chu Qing’s eyes. In the cultivation world, if Spirit Stones were necessary, this Cloudroot Stone was not much different.

For any cultivator with some strength, the Cloudroot Stone in their storage bag was indispensable. This stone had a wide range of uses. It could hide one’s aura and also carve array formations to set up the array core.

Chu Qing’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the Cloudroot Stone displayed on the tablet. He realized that with this stone, he would be able to carve an intermediate-level array, significantly boosting his cultivation speed by three to five times. The allure of the stone made his heart itch, causing him to linger on the page for a few more minutes.

Observing Chu Qing’s interest, Zhai Yu couldn’t help but comment, “Why? Do you find this stone appealing? It possesses a calming effect on one’s mind. A piece of this size is quite rare. If it were divided into 10 pieces, it could be used to construct 10 secluded chambers for martial artists to cultivate in. It would prevent the intrusion of inner demons and cultivation deviations.

Chu Qing couldn’t help but feel a headache this time. He had witnessed extravagant and wasteful things before, but he had never encountered something as wasteful as this. It was simply a frivolous expenditure of money. What was the big deal about calming one’s mind? That was just one of the insignificant attributes of the Cloudroot Stone.

With this Cloudroot Stone, Chu Qing could form an array that covered a range of several 100 meters. Forget about 10 secluded chambers, he would have more than enough to create 100 of them, and their effects would far surpass the ordinary quiet rooms Zhai Yu was talking about.

Chu Qing raised his head and leaned against the sofa. He was not in the mood to look at it anymore. Although this Cloudroot Stone was not bad, in Chu Qing’s current situation, he did not have the time to buy that thing. Moreover, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was not bad and he did not need the help of spiritual energy.

After Chu Qing put down the tablet, Ye Chenxi took it. She tilted her head and looked at it. Chu Qing drank half a glass of wine. When he looked at Ye Chenxi again, he realized that she was staring at a bronze artifact in a daze.

He leaned over and placed his arm on Ye Chenxi’s shoulder. He asked, “You want this?”

He thought that if Ye Chenxi needed it, he could buy it and give it to her..
