Chapter 31 Treasure Acquired
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately exited the dream. He rubbed his hands together, his face full of smiles.
"If I could wear a piece of Taiyin Jade Marrow, my spiritual awareness would definitely improve much faster."
Such a good item, even if it meant finding a bargain, I absolutely couldn't let it slip by, not even if I had to pay a high price to acquire it.
According to Hou Ming in the dream, Lu Zhi should have received the moonstone tonight or tomorrow morning.
This time, when I entered the dream, Mengdie only used 40% of her energy. I kept circulating the Nourishing Spirit Technique, and it took me eight hours to fully recover.
It's the end of the Wei hour now, and eight hours later it will be the Mao hour tomorrow morning. I have a whole morning to intercept it.
Before making a move, I can simulate it in a dream. If anything goes wrong, I can prepare in advance.
Jiang Chen immediately began to circulate the Nourishing Spirit Technique to restore his own spiritual consciousness, while also recharging Mengdie's energy.
Eight hours passed quickly, and Jiang Chen awoke from his meditation. It was the end of the Mao hour, and the sky was already bright.
At this hour, the cultivators who set up their stalls would have already been there long ago.
He looked inward into his sea of consciousness and examined the Dream Butterfly Diagram, discovering that the Dream Butterfly's energy was full and he could enter the dream again.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately entered the dream again to simulate the future.
-----------------
In his dream, he went straight to the South City.
Lu Zhi also lived in the Southwest Ward, had done business with Jiang Yun, and Jiang Chen also knew him.
Upon arriving in Nanshi, all the stall owners took the initiative to greet us.
After all, Jiang Chen was quite well-known in the Southwest District. If they could build a good relationship with him, they could buy highly sought-after items like mid-grade first-rank talismans from him in the future.
Jiang Chen also pretended to look at the spiritual items at each stall, and bought the talisman paper and ink that were of decent quality.
Soon, he arrived at Lu Zhi's stall.
This person is of medium build and looks honest, but his eyes gleam with a cunning light, making him appear scheming.
Lu Zhi quickly stood up, bowing and scraping as he greeted him, "Little Jiang, please come and take a look. My stall is full of good stuff that I just received. The prices are reasonable, and it's definitely great value for money."
Jiang Chen smiled in response, then scanned the stall with his eyes and quickly spotted a palm-sized grayish-white stone that faintly exuded a sinister aura—it was the Moonstone.
There was only one moonstone on the entire stall, so it must be genuine.
He casually picked out a few talismans of decent quality, and then picked up the moonstone.
Lu Zhi was somewhat surprised and asked, "Little Jiang, are you perhaps going to learn weapon crafting? Why are you buying weapon crafting materials?"
Jiang Chen casually explained, "I want to have someone craft something to nourish my soul..."
Before he could finish speaking, he glanced at Lu Zhi and said, "What? Do I need to report the purpose of buying your things?"
Lu Zhi quickly reached out and lightly slapped his face: "You see, I just can't control my foul mouth. Little Jiang, please don't take offense."
Jiang Chen glanced at him impatiently: "Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and settle the score."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had no intention of leaving, Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "These are just worthless things, two spirit stones will do."
Jiang Chen was also afraid that something might go wrong, so he tossed two spirit stones to Lu Zhi and then put the talisman paper and the moonstone into his storage bag.
Then, his face was full of impatience, and he didn't buy anything else. He turned and went to his own courtyard.
Seeing this, a nearby stall owner became unhappy.
"Hey Lu, why are you so cheeky? Little Jiang, the talisman master, rarely comes to buy things. We all have a chance to climb the social ladder."
"And you, you insisted on asking why they needed to buy moonstone. You ruined Little Jiang's interest and wasted our opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the other stall owners also began to criticize Lu Zhi.
……
Jiang Chen returned to his courtyard without encountering any obstacles along the way. Upon arriving, he immediately activated the defensive and anti-spy arrays.
He casually took out a small knife and scraped it a few times on the moonstone. Moonstone fragments fell continuously, and soon the milky white jade-like texture inside the moonstone was revealed.
He touched the milky white jade with his hand, and a cool sensation slowly seeped into his fingers.
Then, this cool energy flowed along the meridians and gathered in the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows.
After absorbing this energy, Jiang Chen felt his mind become extremely clear instantly.
"This is the feeling of heightened spiritual awareness. With such miraculous effects, it must be the Taiyin Jade Marrow."
He wielded his knife with lightning speed, quickly peeling away the outer layer of the Taiyin Jade Marrow, revealing the Taiyin Jade Marrow inside.
I casually weighed it in my hand, and this palm-sized piece of Taiyin Jadeite weighed more than three pounds.
"This is a huge windfall! This piece of Taiyin Jade Marrow is worth at least one or two thousand spirit stones."
"My method of simulating the future through dreams is truly wondrous. This unexpected gain has allowed me to obtain such a rare and precious material as Taiyin Jade Marrow."
I need to think more about how to maximize the effectiveness of the Butterfly Dream Painting.
"This time, I entered the dream to simulate the future and successfully obtained the Taiyin Jade Marrow without any obstacles. I must return to reality as soon as possible to obtain the Taiyin Jade Marrow."
With this treasure's assistance, my spiritual consciousness will undoubtedly improve rapidly in the near future. The duration of my dreams will certainly increase continuously. Forming a second dream butterfly shouldn't take much longer.
Upon realizing this, he immediately exited the dream.
-----------------
Having successfully simulated the future in his dream, Jiang Chen immediately left the courtyard and headed towards Nanshi.
Having already gained successful experience from simulating in his dream, Jiang Chen didn't want anything to go wrong, so he didn't try anything fancy.
He pretended to be buying talisman paper and ink, picking and choosing from various stalls.
Upon arriving at Lu Zhi's stall, following the process simulated in the dream, he acquired the Taiyin Jade Marrow for two spirit stones.
Back in his courtyard, after activating the formation, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to clean off the stone skin on the surface of the Taiyin Jade Marrow.
Then he gripped the Taiyin Jade Marrow tightly with both hands and began to circulate the Nourishing Spirit Technique.
Driven by the Nourishing Spirit Technique, his speed of absorbing Yin energy from the Yin Jade Marrow greatly increased.
Streams of Yin energy continuously flowed into the meridians of the hands, then surged towards the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows.
After entering the sea of consciousness, a great deal of Yin energy was absorbed by Jiang Chen's soul.
His soul was just a very dim phantom, surrounded by a gray mist.
At this moment, the gray mist surrounding the soul was becoming denser at a visible speed.
At the same time, a portion of the Yin energy was absorbed by the Dream Butterfly Diagram.
An hour later, Jiang Chen awoke from his meditation.
He sensed the change in himself, clapped his hands suddenly, and laughed loudly: "This thing really works!"
My spiritual sense is improving at least three or four times faster than before. Cultivating daily with this Taiyin Jade Marrow, within a month my spiritual sense will be sufficient to draw a high-grade first-rank talisman.
Having said that, he immediately looked inward into his sea of consciousness to investigate the Dream Butterfly Diagram.
