SFS Chapter 335 Tier 3 Wings
Chapter 335 Tier 3 Wings
"A peak third-tier wind-attribute demonic bird, a silver-winged raven's wing feather, in excellent condition and with high integrity, suitable as an auxiliary material for refining wind-attribute treasures..."
As the maid carrying the tray stepped onto the stage, Lin Changsheng's gaze fell upon the tuft of feathers wrapped in red silk, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.
"I recently obtained the 'Extreme Thunder Magic Wood' in the forbidden area of Fengyuan Kingdom, which I will use as the fan ribs to refine the 'Five Thunder Magic Fan'. The feathers of the late-stage third-tier demonic bird have wind attributes and can be used as magic weapon ornaments."
"Third-tier wind-attribute demonic birds are rare and hard to find. I originally planned to use the Wind Raven Wing Feather as a substitute, but I didn't expect to encounter something even more suitable today."
Lin Changsheng was somewhat tempted.
The price of third-tier demonic bird wings is not high, but Lin Changsheng needs special wind-attribute demonic bird wings, which are quite rare.
He originally planned to use Xunfeng crow feathers instead if he couldn't find suitable wind-attribute materials, but now it seems that he won't need to.
Furthermore, Lin Changsheng already had a plan in mind regarding the 'Five Thunder Fan'.
For a Golden Core cultivator, the power of their natal magic weapon is very limited at the beginning of its creation. In order to unleash its future potential, it usually needs to be nurtured over a long period of time so that the natal magic weapon can become more compatible and harmonious with the cultivator's own aura, thereby increasing its power.
Therefore, matters involving the creation of one's natal magic weapon should be undertaken sooner rather than later.
Now that the main materials for crafting the 'Five Thunder Fan' have been gathered, Lin Changsheng originally planned to start collecting the remaining auxiliary materials after he had established himself in the local area for a while.
Soon, the auctioneer announced the price of the silver-winged raven's wing feather.
Compared to the price of similar-level demon bird wings, it has doubled, but it is still within an acceptable range.
However, since it involves third-tier materials, ordinary cultivators at the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages naturally had no interest in getting involved, and the scene became somewhat deserted.
After about ten breaths, the other Golden Core cultivators present did not seem to intend to make a bid.
Seeing this, Lin Changsheng was not surprised.
While wind-attribute demon bird wings are rare, their attribute bonus also means they are not as versatile as ordinary demon bird wings.
Unless it's a necessity, it's not considered a popular material under normal circumstances, so it's not surprising that it went unnoticed at an auction.
After a moment's thought, Lin Changsheng channeled a bit of his magic power, sending out a voice to announce his bid.
I thought that this wisp of silver raven wing feather would be acquired at the starting bid.
No sooner had Lin Changsheng made his bid than a man's voice echoed from the opposite pavilion, also making a bid.
"Whose realm is that over there?"
Despite having his bid outbid, Lin Changsheng showed no sign of surprise. He merely glanced curiously at the opposite pavilion before turning to ask the auction house maid beside him.
"Elder Lin, that's the location of the Wang family of Chiyan Ridge."
The attendant replied respectfully and softly.
"The Wang family of Chiyan Ridge?"
Lin Changsheng understood, but then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
In the years since he came to Willow Oriole Immortal City, although he has kept a low profile, he has also conducted some investigations into the local forces.
Among them, the 'Wang Family of Chiyan Ridge' is a rather special force.
In the memories of 'Heavenly Poison True Man', the Wang family was a large family at the Nascent Soul level, with an old Nascent Soul True Man who had been in charge for nearly a thousand years.
Even when 'Heavenly Poison Master' left, the Wang family was still a behemoth in this area.
However, what Lin Changsheng learned after arriving there was that the Wang family's Nascent Soul ancestor had passed away nearly two hundred years ago.
During this period, no second descendant of the Wang family was able to reach the Nascent Soul realm to succeed him.
So, not long after the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the clan passed away, the Wang family followed the ancestor's last wish, cut off most of the clan's profitable industries, abandoned the original fourth-order spiritual vein, and moved the entire clan to the third-order top-level spiritual vein 'Red Rock Ridge' as their new clan territory.
Such a huge loss severely weakened the 'Red Rock Ridge Wang Family', but it was also this decisive act of cutting off one's own arm that prevented the Wang Family from being coveted by surrounding forces.
In addition, before the death of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the clan, he persuaded the Supreme Elder of Liuyan Sect to intervene and save the clan members from dying.
In short, with the foundation of a former Nascent Soul level force, coupled with a century or two of recuperation, the strength of the 'Red Rock Ridge Wang Family' should not be underestimated.
However, after weighing the options, Lin Changsheng placed another bid to participate in the auction.
The process of crafting one's own natal magic weapon is so complex that even the slightest difference can affect the quality of the final product, the 'Five Thunder Fan'.
As the saying goes, "A miss is as good as a mile."
Tier 3 Silver Winged Raven feathers are hard to find anyway, so there's no need to back down just because of the offer from the 'Red Rock Ridge Royal Family'.
Moreover, Lin Changsheng is now considered a guest elder of the Liuyan Sect, and the two sides are currently in a honeymoon period of cooperation, which is incomparable to an unknown rogue cultivator.
Sure enough, after Lin Changsheng made another bid, there was a temporary silence in the other pavilion.
Meanwhile, at the Wang family's pavilion on Chiyan Ridge.
In contrast to its simple exterior, the interior of the attic is dazzling, like a treasure palace, with gold leaf shimmering on the walls, sparkling like starlight.
Even the ground was covered with a layer of rare high-grade spirit jade, and the center of the pavilion was covered with a soft silk cushion woven from snow silkworm silk. The high-grade spirit wood tables and chairs around it exuded a strange wood fragrance, and every table and every item showed luxury and nobility.
“That’s the pavilion of the Liuyan Sect. But the voice sounds a bit unfamiliar. Do you know which elder or master of the Liuyan Sect is that?”
Next, the middle-aged man, whose face held a certain dignity, asked his attendants with a questioning tone.
"Reporting to the Third Elder, that is Lin San Gou, a newly arrived guest elder of the Willow Smoke Sect. He is proficient in puppetry and has only come to Willow Oriole Immortal City in recent years."
Soon, an old servant in the late Foundation Establishment stage bowed and stepped forward to explain.
"Lin San Gou?"
"A dignified Golden Core cultivator actually has such a vulgar name, how interesting, how interesting..."
"He's just a guest elder, but let's give him face this time."
Upon hearing this, the man's face showed a hint of interest, and he spoke casually.
Immediately afterwards, the Wang family of Chiyanling made another bid, surpassing Lin Changsheng's offer.
The repeated bidding by the two Golden Core cultivators immediately piqued the interest of the crowd, and the previously quiet venue was suddenly filled with whispers.
Upon hearing this, Lin Changsheng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and was about to continue raising the price.
But a few breaths later, a slightly authoritative voice was heard passing through the pavilion and echoing throughout the entire auction hall.
“I am Wang Bingde from Chiyanling. Since Master Lin Kui is interested in this third-tier material, my Wang family of Chiyanling is willing to give you the wing feathers we won as a gift for our first meeting.”
Lin Changsheng was taken aback, somewhat surprised, and secretly speculated on the other party's intentions, but still responded:
"Thank you for your generosity, Master Wang. However, I do not have the habit of accepting favors for nothing. I will exchange them for spirit stones or other materials at a higher price later."
Lin Changsheng's calm words echoed throughout the auction hall.
His words showed no reluctance to accept any thanks.
the reason is simple.
Firstly, third-tier silver-winged raven feathers are not particularly valuable, so there's no need to incur favors because of them.
Secondly, if Wang Bingde really wanted to give up the prize, he could simply withdraw from the auction and let Lin Changsheng win the bid normally.
However, after learning Lin Changsheng's identity, the other party still bid higher than him and then pretended to be generous in giving him gifts, which was obviously not out of true respect.
