I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 573

Chapter 573: Strange Prayer Wheels, All Drama Spirits

“Tianji Peak is just ahead.”

Lu Qing looked up. As one of Tianshu City’s main peaks, Tianji Peak was equally enormous. It

was far larger than the sacred mountain of his home world,

though it lacked that sacred mountain’s unique imposing presence.

Atop the peak, a massive, imposing building towered over the summit. This was the venue for the auction.

However, the auction hadn’t officially begun yet, so Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist decided to explore Tianji Peak first.

Tianji Peak is one of Tianshu City’s main peaks, primarily used for wealth management.

The mountain boasts not only auctions but also restaurants, facilitating the sale of magical artifacts and elixirs.

It’s a crucial source of income for Tianshu City.

Walking up Tianji Peak, Lu Qing could sense the presence of numerous powerful figures.

Although they tried their best to subdue their auras, the inherent Daoist energy still betrayed their extraordinary prowess.

After wandering for a while, Lu Qing suddenly spotted a large, open square where many people sat cross-legged on the ground, their goods laid out before them.

“Master, where are these people?” Lu Qing asked curiously.

He could tell that the cultivators sitting cross-legged on the ground were equally powerful.

While most were in the Foundation Establishment stage, there were also some powerful Golden Core cultivators among them.

“They’re setting up stalls,” Taoist Wubao said after taking a look.

“Setting up stalls?” Lu Qing was stunned by the word.

“Yes, that’s right.”

While Lu Qing was in seclusion, comprehending the sword intent, Taoist Wubao hadn’t been idle in the cave, but had been gathering intelligence outside.

So, while he wasn’t completely familiar with the situation in Tianshu City, he had a good grasp of the general situation.

“You should know that the treasure auction hosted by Tianshu City has high requirements for treasures.

Many cultivators who venture into the sacred mountains obtain treasures of too low a value, or even undetermined value,

to be included in the auction.

But they’re unwilling to sell them cheaply to the shops that collect treasures.

So, they simply set up stalls here to see if they can sell their treasures.

Of course, setting up stalls here isn’t free; they have to pay a fee to Tianshu City.”

“Oh, that’s quite interesting.”

Lu Qing, immediately intrigued, held Xiao Li in his arms and walked forward.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, be careful,”

Taoist Wubao whispered, noticing Lu Qing’s curiosity.

“These vendors are experienced. Not only are the items they sell of unknown value, but they might even be fakes. If you see something you like, be very careful and don’t rush into anything.”

“Yes,” Lu Qing nodded gently.

Those who have reached this level of cultivation are far from foolish.

Furthermore, these cultivators, who had been adventuring in Tianshu Divine Mountain for years, would have been wiped out long ago if they had been more naive.

The two entered the square without attracting any attention.

After all, there were quite a few people in the square at the time, and the aura they exuded wasn’t overpowering, barely at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm. They

weren’t particularly conspicuous among the cultivators strolling around.

“Xiao Li, can you sense any special treasures here?”

Lu Qing whispered to Xiao Li via telepathy.

He had already activated his supernatural powers upon entering the square.

However, there were numerous stalls, each displaying a wide variety of items.

He couldn’t just stare at everything; that would easily alert others.

So, he planned to let Xiao Li use his uncanny sensing abilities to select the more unique treasures.

He would then use his supernatural powers to investigate further, making this method more efficient.

“Let me try!”

Xiao Li, upon hearing this, suddenly became excited.

He immediately closed his eyes and, using his innate, unique treasure-hunting ability, began to carefully sense the place.

Lu Qing, acting as if nothing had happened, strolled leisurely around the square, holding Xiao Li

in his arms. Before long, Xiao Li opened his eyes, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

“Ah Qing, I’ve discovered something!”

“Don’t worry, take your time,” Lu Qing said calmly.

“Most of the stalls here have the aura of treasure, but most of the treasures aren’t very strong, and are only average in quality.

However, I can sense that a few stalls have quite unusual treasures.

The first one is to the southeast…”

Following Xiao Li’s voice transmission, Lu Qing calmly walked southeast.

Finally, guided by Xiao Li, he spotted the stall it had mentioned.

However, he didn’t immediately head for it. Instead, he stood a short distance away, observing it quietly from the corner of his eye.

After observing for a moment, Lu Qing’s body trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise welled up in his heart.

Fortunately, he had strong control and quickly suppressed his shock, preventing the Five Treasures Taoist priest from noticing.

Lu Qing continued to observe, not approaching directly.

After more than ten breaths, his eyebrows raised again, as if he had discovered something interesting, and a smile appeared on his face.

Soon, a plan slowly formed in his mind.

He began to slowly approach the stall Xiao Li had mentioned.

However, this time, he still didn’t go directly to the stall. Instead, he

approached a deserted stall next to it and slowly began to look around.

“Two seniors, is there anything you like?

All of these treasures were obtained through painstaking expeditions into the sacred mountains.

Many of these expeditions involved narrow escapes, nearly losing my life!”

The stall owner was a middle-aged cultivator who had reached the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Seeing Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist priest standing in front of his stall, he immediately greeted them warmly.

Although he looked much older than Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist priest

, in the world of cultivation, realm of cultivation was respected, and appearance was never the criterion for seniority.

The aura emanating from the two young men before him was far more powerful than his.

So, naturally, he humbled himself and considered himself a junior.

“Let’s take a look first,” Lu Qing said with a faint smile.

Naturally, he was skeptical of the words of these veterans.

However, his expression remained silent.

“Alright, senior, take your time looking around. If anything catches your eye, tell me and I’ll sell it to you at a discount!”

the stall owner continued enthusiastically.

Lu Qing slowly glanced at the items on the ground. Soon, layers of supernatural light emerged.

Notes and messages appeared in his field of vision.

Then he discovered that Xiao Li’s sensing abilities were truly extraordinary.

The items in this stall were, as expected, ordinary. Most of the supernatural light they emitted was red and gold.

The few purple ones were quite dim,

indicating that the items were of low quality.

He even saw a few that glowed white.

Clearly, they were worthless, ordinary items that weren’t even considered spiritual objects.

It was likely the stall owner had deliberately placed them there to deceive people.

However, Lu Qing didn’t expose his intentions. Instead, he examined them for a moment before picking up a magical artifact resembling a prayer wheel.

“Fellow Daoist, how much is this artifact?”

The prayer wheel Lu Qing held up had an ancient appearance, engraved with ancient runes, giving it a mysterious look.

And within Lu Qing’s view, the artifact was also one of the few purple-grade items in the stall.

But strangely, this artifact was only at the level of a magical instrument,

suggesting that this treasure was more than it appeared.

Although the grade is not high, there is another secret inside.

When the stall owner saw the prayer wheel that Lu Qing picked up, a hint of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes, which was then quickly suppressed by him.

Then a somewhat sad look appeared on his face: “To be honest with you, senior, this treasure was obtained by me many years ago when

I went on an adventure to the sacred mountain with a close friend. At that time, my friend and I went to Tianshu Sacred Mountain to look for treasures, but we accidentally entered an unknown small space cave.

In that space cave, there was a very ferocious beast guarding it.

My friend and I went through life and death before we killed the beast.

In that ferocious beast, what was guarding was this prayer wheel and a golden bell.

My friend and I took the two treasures away, and after we came out, the small space cave collapsed and disappeared.

Finally, my friend and I divided the treasures, and we went our separate ways to heal our wounds in seclusion.

But when the junior healed his wounds, he came out of seclusion. Later, I heard some heartbreaking news.

My good friend, suffering from severe injuries, succumbed to his injuries and passed away in his own cave.

For years afterward, whenever I saw this prayer wheel, I was reminded of him and overwhelmed with regret.

If I had been more courageous, protecting him from more ferocious beasts,

perhaps he wouldn’t have passed away from his injuries .

Over the years, this thought has become an obsession, almost a demon.

If this continues, I fear I won’t be able to survive the Golden Core Tribulation.

So, although I’m reluctant, I’ve decided to sell this prayer wheel. “

I didn’t expect you to have such a difficult experience. Please accept my condolences.”

Hearing the vendor’s sorrowful tone, Lu Qing’s face was moved, and he quickly offered words of comfort.

Meanwhile, the Five Treasures Taoist priest beside him had a strange look in his eyes.

“Senior, this prayer wheel originally held immense significance for me. After all, it was acquired during my last expedition with my friend.

Unfortunately, it has become an obsession, hindering my path.

I have no choice but to sell it at a low price,”

the stall owner said with a sorrowful expression.

“No problem, fellow Daoist, name a price. If it’s suitable, I’ll buy it,” Lu Qing said directly.

“This…” However, the stall owner hesitated, “To be honest, I have no idea how much this prayer wheel is worth.

Although it is just a magic tool, the runes engraved on it are very mysterious.

I have asked many monks who are proficient in runes and formations, but no one can recognize the origin of the runes.

Moreover, it was originally found in the mysterious space cave on the sacred mountain.

So it is not easy for me to put a price on it. How much is it worth?

Why don’t you name a price and I will see if it is appropriate.”

“Is that so.” Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then said, “Although this thing is just a magic tool, it is quite pleasing to me.

Plus, it is of extraordinary significance to fellow Taoist, so I will dare to make an offer.

One thousand low-grade spirit stones, I wonder if you are willing to part with it?”

“One thousand low-grade spirit stones?”

Before the stall owner could speak, the Five Treasures Taoist priest beside him was shocked.

He quickly said, “Fellow Daoist Chen, this price is far too high. It’s just a magical instrument. You could buy a lower-grade treasure for that price.

Who knows if what this guy said is true or just fabricated?

Fellow Daoist, don’t be fooled by these random fabrications.”

Taoist Wubao was a little anxious, fearing that Lu Qing would be deceived.

Honestly, he was even puzzled by Lu Qing’s interest in a small magical instrument.

A mere magical instrument was useless to Jindan-level experts like them.

The spells they could cast casually were far more powerful than a magical instrument.

The stall owner had already been delighted by Lu Qing’s offer,

but after hearing Taoist Wubao’s words, he suddenly felt furious. He

wanted to strike the talkative Taoist with a sword right then and there.

But he could only think about it.

Taoist Wubao was a Jindan-level expert, while he, a mere Foundation Establishment expert, could be killed with a single finger.

Therefore, the stall owner not only dared not show his anger, but also had to be extremely careful to suppress it.

Maintaining a mournful expression on his face, he said, “Yes, Senior, the price is too high. A magical instrument doesn’t require so many spirit stones. Please lower the price a bit.”

“That’s fine. A treasured possession is more valuable than gold. I really like this prayer wheel, and it’s a treasured possession of yours, so I’ll just give it one thousand low-grade spirit stones,”

Lu Qing said generously.

He then directly pulled a handful of spirit stones from his storage bag.

“Fellow Daoist, here are ten mid-grade spirit stones. Please be gentle.”

Mid-grade spirit stones!

The stall owner was delighted to see the spirit stones Lu Qing had taken out.

Although the conversion rate between mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones was one to one hundred,

in reality, cultivators naturally preferred the rich spiritual charm of mid-grade spirit stones.

“Thank you, Senior. This prayer wheel is now yours.”

Although the stall owner wanted to grab the spirit stone immediately, he forced himself to hold back. He

carefully took the spirit stone from Lu Qing’s hand, and with a reluctant look on his face, he looked at the prayer wheel.

After knowing that Lu Qing put the prayer wheel away, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

After putting the prayer wheel away, Lu Qing continued to browse.

This time, he finally came to the stall that Xiao Li mentioned.
