CHAPTER 872: CHAPTER 872: SUPREME FURNACE

Seeing everyone disperse, Chen Nan finally stepped forward. Seeing a staff member about to put away that broken sword, he hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, I want this broken sword!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding cultivators all showed surprised expressions.

This guy actually wants to buy a broken sword?

Perhaps the sword was of high grade before it broke, but now it’s just a piece of junk.

"Hey, there’s really a fool who wants to buy?"

Chen Nan ignored the discussions around him. The reason he wanted to buy this broken sword was that the King of Ten Thousand Gu inside him had reacted to it.

Either he had encountered it before, or he sensed the sword’s extraordinariness, whichever case, he wouldn’t lose out.

Even Shang San Niang, who was about to leave, turned around curiously to look. After all, it was she who decided to sell the broken sword, and she hadn’t expected someone would actually buy it.

The staff member also seemed doubtful and asked curiously, "Young master, do you really want to buy it?"

"Of course!"

Chen Nan directly pulled out a storage bag, taking out nine thousand low-grade spirit stones from inside.

"The broken sword originally cost ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, but Miss Shang just said there was a ten percent discount, making it nine thousand low-grade spirit stones, right? Count them."

Saving where necessary and spending where needed, Chen Nan just realized how high the consumption level was in the Nine Provinces.

The staff member quickly swept over them with his divine sense, confirming they were correct, and said with a smile: "That’s right, that’s right, the sword is yours. Please take it."

He even thoughtfully found a scabbard for the broken sword.

Chen Nan was pleased in his heart. Although it was just a broken sword, at least he had saved a thousand spirit stones, equivalent to saving a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

At this moment, he just wanted to find a place to carefully examine what was different about this broken sword.

Just as he was about to leave the Myriad Phenomena Commerce, a guard of Shang San Niang stopped him.

"Young master, my lady would like to invite you to meet her on the second floor."

The first floor of the Myriad Phenomena Commerce was aimed at Foundation Establishment cultivators, whereas the second floor was open to cultivators at the Peak of Foundation Establishment and above.

Besides the items being of higher grade than those sold on the first floor, there were separate tea rooms to entertain guests.

After all, Golden Core Stage cultivators were already considered quite powerful within the Nine Provinces.

Chen Nan looked up at the second floor, noticing Shang San Niang, in a red dress, standing behind the railing, giving him a slight smile, full of charm that would captivate anyone with weaker willpower.

However, for Chen Nan, it didn’t have much influence. After a moment’s thought, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, lead the way."

Since he had nothing to covet, he wasn’t afraid of being eyed.

Under the guard’s lead, Chen Nan came all the way to the second floor, entering a tea room where Shang San Niang was already waiting for him.

After sitting down, Chen Nan just wanted to say something when his face suddenly changed, as he noticed the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman he cultivated had started to operate on its own.

He looked at Shang San Niang in surprise. Obviously, the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman had found a supreme furnace, causing such a strange phenomenon.

The Scripture of the Hidden Talisman contained methods of dual cultivation, embodying the Yin Yang Path, beneficial to both men and women.

A woman possessing a special physique was an excellent dual cultivation partner, greatly beneficial to Chen Nan.

Clearly, Shang San Niang in front of him was acknowledged as having a supreme physique by the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman.

Chen Nan felt a bit restless inside, but he quickly suppressed it.

Joking aside, Shang San Niang’s father was a Nascent Soul Old Monster, with several Golden Core Stage guards.

He was already mortal enemies with the Xuanming Old Monster, and if he provoked another Master Fufeng, ten lives wouldn’t be enough to pay.

So even though Shang San Niang had a special physique, offering great benefits through dual cultivation, he didn’t have any such thoughts; perhaps when he was stronger, he could try.

"Young master, what’s wrong? You look a bit unwell,"

Shang San Niang noticed Chen Nan’s odd expression and asked in confusion.

Chen Nan repeatedly waved his hand, shaking his head: "Nothing, I wonder why Miss Shang asked me here?"

"It was just out of curiosity seeing you buy that broken sword," Shang San Niang smiled, "Does young master know the origins of this broken sword?"

Her eyes gleamed with clear curiosity.

So it was about the broken sword; Chen Nan understood and bowed his hand in apology: "Sorry, I don’t know the origins of the broken sword, I was just a bit curious, so I bought it."

Seeing that his eyes did not seem deceitful, Shang San Niang shook her head somewhat regretfully.

"This broken sword was picked from the depths of the Wuyin Forest, though it has broken, not even a Fifth-grade Spiritual Artifact could damage it, I believe the sword’s origins are extraordinary."

"Yet even our chamber’s appraiser couldn’t recognize its grade, so I decided to sell it, hoping to try my luck."

She thought whoever bought the broken sword must know something about its origins, even just some rumors, but surprisingly someone had genuinely paid nine thousand spirit stones out of curiosity.

Chen Nan listened, feeling shocked: "Does Miss intend to reclaim the sword?"

"Of course not, since this sword is destined for you, how could I take it away?" Shang San Niang smiled slightly, "But selling a broken sword seems unfair to you."

"If news spread, perhaps they’d say we at the Myriad Phenomena Commerce use our size to bully, so I asked you here to give you some compensation."

At these words, Chen Nan was slightly relieved. The weapon that could even stir the King of Ten Thousand Gu inside him must be extraordinary, and once acquired, it was impossible to give it up.

"The compensation is unnecessary; a deal is made through mutual consent. My willingness to buy the broken sword is my own reason, unrelated to your chamber."

Chen Nan stood up and slightly bowed his hand, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

Shang San Niang seemed a bit surprised; ordinary people knew that the Myriad Phenomena Commerce was extremely wealthy and would want more compensation.

But Chen Nan didn’t have such thoughts, which moved her heart, making her look at Chen Nan again in a different light.

"Since young master doesn’t wish for compensation, then accept this. You will be our chamber’s esteemed guest, purchasing items will be discounted, and selling items will fetch a higher price."

With a flip of her jade hand, a jade token appeared and slowly floated to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan didn’t refuse such goodwill, knowing that if he hunted demon beasts, the materials on them were quite valuable, used to exchange for cultivation resources.

"Then thank you, Miss Shang."

After receiving the jade token, Chen Nan turned to leave and suddenly stopped at the door.

"By the way, Miss Shang, I’m Chen Nan, and we’ll likely meet again."

Leaving his name, he promptly left the Myriad Phenomena Commerce.

"Chen Nan... what an interesting person."

Shang San Niang murmured softly, a playful glimmer in her eyes.
