Talent Swallowing System



[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

…

One in the Floral Stall that is on your left.

The second one is in the Talisman Stall to your right.

[Mind Power: 10 percent / 100 percent]

…

Soon, the information regarding the two system fragments appeared in Leo's head along with his mind power.

'I should be careful in using the remaining Mind Power.'

Even though Mind Power was very low, Leo felt that he could manage it for a while and if he wanted, he could just return and rest for a day to recover his Mind Power to peak.

'Anyway, let's get the System Fragments.'

His main objective in entering the Black Market was to get the system fragments before they disappear or move somewhere else.

Hence, he walked towards the Floral Stall on his left and started looking at the items in the stall.

All the stalls in the Black Market are very small and all the items were kept open for the customers to look at from a certain distance.

In the Floral Stall, there were all kinds of plants. Some are used as the ingredients for refining pills, whereas some plants will assist the cultivators in their cultivation just by staying close to them.

Even though the store was small, there were more than 20 plants like Spirit Grasses, Soul Flower Plants, Meditation Vines, Qi Blossoms, and Essence Roots.

All these plants are quite useful for Qi-refinement cultivators. Especially the meditation Vines which will increase the cultivation speed for the Qi-refinement cultivators by three times.

'Even though it is good, one needs to provide at least 10 low-level Spirit Stones per day which is very costly from the perspective of a Qi-refinement Cultivator.'

Leo silently muttered as he carefully observed the vines that are less than one meter.

'There it is.'

Suddenly, Leo noticed the system fragment in the pot that had Meditation Vines in it.

'It looks like I will be buying it.'

If he can't touch them without the permission of the owner and if he uses force, it would cause commotion which Leo didn't want at the moment.

Therefore, Leo decided to buy it without any hesitation.

"Sir, did you like something that you want to buy?"

Soon, the owner of the stall came to Leo when Leo called him as he politely asked.

"I will be buying these Meditation Vines."

Leo nodded his head and pointed at the Meditation Vines, he asked for the price.

"There are three meditation vines in the pot. 100 low-level spirit stones per vine and it will be 300 low-level spirit stones."

The young owner replied without thinking much while maintaining his politeness.

"Really?"

Leo frowned and could not help but slightly release the pressure of the level 9 foundation establishment realm and asked, "Give me a final price."

Even though the meditation vines are quite useful to Qi-refinement cultivators, they could be found on the outskirts of the Dark Moon Forest as long as someone looks carefully.

So, Leo wanted an honest price from the owner. Hence, he released his cultivation pressure to show his cultivation.

The owner of the stall was a young man with the cultivation of level 5 Qi-refinement. So, how could he resist Leo's cultivation pressure?

In the next second, there was a drastic decrease in the price, "Just give me 50 low-level spirit stones, Respected Sir."

From 300, it directly dropped to 50 low-level spirit stones, making Leo nod his head in satisfaction.

"Add that pot of Spirit grasses and I will give you 100 low-level spirit stones."

"Yes, Sir."

The young man hurriedly nodded his head as he gave two pots, one had three meditation vines whereas the other one was filled with spirit grasses.

Soon, the transaction was complete and Leo left with a smile on his face.

On the other hand, the young stall owner muttered, 'With his strength, he could have just entered the Dark Moon Forest to collect them. What does he need to spend the low-level spirit stones like water?'

The young man didn't suffer any loss as he would have sold those two items for more or less the same price that Leo had bought.

Nevertheless, he could not bother to waste his time thinking about the habit of the rich cultivators.

….

'One down.'

On the other hand, Leo didn't waste his time and checked out the second stall. A talisman stall.

It was filled with many talisman materials and talismans…of course, all of them were low-level.

With a look, Leo could tell that he would not only sell talismans but also talisman-making materials.

'There are many items here and unlike the Floral Stall, they are all closed.'

Leo thought he should use his Divine Sense to check through the items to find the system fragment.

However, it is forbidden to use the Divine Sense in the Black Market. So, Leo can't use it.

'In that case, I can only ask my [Quasi-Divine Information].'

Leo was not worried about his mind power because it won't be consumed much as he was quite close to the system fragment.

'In which set of talisman-making materials the system fragment is?'

Leo framed the question and used his talent.

[Quasi Divine Talent].

….

In the set belonging to the Qi Gathering Talisman-making materials.

…

"Owner, I want to buy all these Qi Gathering Talisman-making materials."

As soon as he got the answer, Leo didn't try to use his talent to narrow it down; instead, he decided to buy the 15 sets of materials.

"Yes, Sir. It cost 75 low-level Spirit Stones."

The owner was another young man with a Qi-refinement cultivator. He excitedly quoted the five.

"50 low-level Spirit Stones and if you don't want to, then I will go to the next store."

Every stall in the Black Market wants to rip their customer. So, Leo quoted a price that was acceptable for both the owner and the customer.

"..."

The young man remained calm for a moment before nodding his head.

Soon, the second transaction in the Black Market was completed as Leo got his hands on the third system fragment without any troubles.

'Phew…I just need another two system fragments and I can activate the system and get one of the system abilities.'

Coming out of the stall, Leo heaved a sigh of relief.

'After spending 150 low-level spirit stones and another 10 for merging, I still have 840 low-level spirit stones left with me.'

After getting his hands on the system fragments, Leo was not in a hurry to leave the Black Market as he calculated his funds to spend on some items in the Black Market.

Since he had come out of the sect, Leo decided to buy as many low-level items as possible before returning to the sect to merge them in seclusion.

'Let's keep 40 low-level spirit stones aside to merge for the next four days. So, I can now spend 800 low-level spirit stones.'

With that thought in mind, Leo started strolling around the Black Market which can help him and his sect rise as quickly as possible.

'Also, I should sell the special Mid-level Rank 1 Talisman.'

Since Leo had already decided to sell the talisman, he was searching for a possible customer for his talisman.

"Hey, someone is auctioning a Foundation Establishment Pill at the market square. Let's go."

"I know."

"Are you planning to auction something?"

.

.

.

Suddenly, Leo's ears caught a conversation from passerby cultivators, making Leo reveal a slight smile.

'Since he is auctioning off a Foundation Establishment Pill, there might be so many cultivators. I think I should sell my special talisman there.'

With that thought in mind, Leo also moved towards the market square.

Market Square is also known as Auction Square because a cultivator could stand there and auction their items.

Most of the time, it would be useless; however, if more cultivators were already gathered, it would be quite an opportunity for cultivators to sell their items.

"I will give you 15000 low-level spirit stones. Outside the market, a foundation establishment pill costs around 8000-10000 spirit stones. So, please consider it, Fellow Cultivator."

As soon as Leo entered the market square, Leo saw it was already filled with around 20-30 cultivators and more and more cultivators were rushing to see who dared to auction a Foundation Establishment Pill.

'Huh? He is willing to spend 15000 low-level spirit stones? It looks like he is someone from the other two sects.'

Hearing the price, Leo could tell that it must be some elder of the sects in the city.

"Sorry, Sir; however, I am in desperate need to have a treasure that could increase my lifespan by at least one year."

The masked young man standing on the stage bowed to that old cultivator and politely explained his situation.

"Haha…do you think you can exchange the foundation establishment pill for life-prolonging treasures? Dream on…it is very hard to find it and even if you find it, its worth is much higher than the pill you are holding in."

The old man scoffed at him and turned around to leave and behind him, his followers also lost their interest and were about to leave the auction square.

"Wait a second, young one."

At the same time, Leo hurriedly flew to the stage and asked the old man to wait.

Despite the old man being very old, Leo intentionally called him young to show that he was older and more powerful than them.

"Huh?"

The old man frowned; however, he stopped in his tracks along with his followers.

"Young man, I can give you a life-prolonging treasure tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Seeing that the old man stopped in his tracks, Leo revealed a slight smile on his face as he turned to look at the young man holding the Foundation Establishment Pill and asked whether he was willing to wait for a day.

"T-this…I am willing to wait, Sir."

Since Leo dared to call someone at level 8 foundation establishment realm cultivator as a young one, the young man could tell that Leo was at least a level 9 foundation establishment realm cultivator.

After some hesitation, the young man nodded his head.

He was standing in the market square for a while now and no one was willing to exchange the life-prolonging treasures for the foundation establishment pills, making the young man lose all hope.

Therefore, he could only rely on the cultivator who said he would give it tomorrow.

"If you give me 16000 low-level Spirit Stones, I can sell this Foundational Establishment Pill to you, young one."

Turning his head to the old man, Leo asked with a slight smile under his face mask.

"Deal"

The old man didn't think much as he agreed to Leo's deal and asked one of his followers to give the stones to get the foundational establishment pill.
