Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 530 Spirit Stones



Priam\'s eyes lit up after hearing this, the Automatons that came from bandits and not from the official stores are normally heavily modified.

They probably possess dangerous weapons, poison, or even self-destruction options in many cases. These weapons and poison were normally much more expensive than the automatons themselves.

Of course, there are also cases where they can be terrible. Their core may be Brass Tier Automaton but their external parts were for Iron Tier Automatons. This is quite common as well since the bandits or renegade manipulators would normally cut the repair costs of their automatons and use parts that were supposed to be for a lower tier.

However, it doesn\'t always mean that their prices would be lower, they can even be higher if the bandits have really decided to invest in their automatons.

They would normally modify their Brass Tier Automatons with Silver Tier parts to make their automatons look a bit stronger and increase their durability. They would also equip them with Magic Tools with inscriptions and it would certainly attract his attention.

Priam controlled his excitement and focused on the potions first…

"Let me have a look at these potions of yours first… It\'s not easy even for me to see some high-grade Potions. I hope that you have many of them" Priam said while also hoping that every potion was indeed high-grade.

"Of course…" Vincent replied as he brought out the potions he would like to sell.

Aside from the 3 High-Grade Health Recovery Potions, he also decided to sell 7 High-Grade Mana Recovery Potions, 7 High-Grade Strength Potions, 5 Vial of Eagle Vision, 5 Vial of Vitality Potions, and 5 Vial of Tranquility Potions.

He decided to keep some for himself in case of emergency and only sold a portion of his potions.

And for obvious reasons, he didn\'t sell his Soul Wisdom Potion, Subordination Impulse Potion, Mana Block Potion, Camouflage Potion, Aura Balancing Potion, and Insight Potion.

These potions were something he would like to keep for himself.

Priam took half an hour to appraise each one of them before he gave Vincent a price.

He was willing to pay 80 Low-Tier Spirit Stones in each Health Recovery and Mana Recovery Potions.

The Strength Potions were worth 76 Low-Tier Spirit Stones each. Surprisingly, the Eagle Vision Potion had a higher offer than the recovery potions. They were worth 90 Low-Tier Spirit Stones each and Vincent found it quite unusual. After all, it could only enhance the vision of the consumer. Even if it has an effect of permanent enhancement to vision, it was only 5 Attribute Points and can\'t stack with another similar potion.

Anyway, Vitality Boost Potion was 78 Low-Tier Spirit Stones each, and last but not the least, the Tranquility Potion is worth 4 Mid-Tier Spirit Stones each! If he didn\'t like Mid-Tier Spirit Stones, Priam suggested selling the Tranquility Potions to him for 160 Low-Tier Spirit Stones.

"Ahh… The tranquility potion is so expensive?" Vincent asked in surprise. This had also confused him about the real value of the Mid-Tier Spirit Stones.

According to Ronan, Mid-Tier Spirit Stones are only worth about 10 Low-Tier Spirit Stones though no one really trades them at that price.

Nevertheless, the 4 Mid-Tier Spirit Stones were converted to 160 Low-Tier Spirit Stones just now!

Doesn\'t it mean that 1 Mid-Tier Spirit Stone is worth 40 Low-Tier Spirit Stones?

"Yes. Tranquility Potions, especially at this grade, are really helpful to Gold Tier and above Manipulators. No, it might even be too extravagant for Gold Tier… This can be easily sold to Crystal Tier or Diamond Tier Manipulators so I\'m giving this price. But to be honest, I\'m not really profiting from this transaction… but if I\'m able to trade this Tranquility Potion, my reputation will allow me to control more branches in the future."

"Is it that rare for Tranquility Potions to appear here?"

"Yes… To be honest, not even the Black Tower or Solomon\'s Pillar can supply us with a high-grade Potion. Normally, Tranquility Potions were only at Low-Grade quality… There were often cases that Mid-Grade ones would appear but for High-Grade quality, they are just legends around here."

"The price is good… I will add 2 more Tranquility Potions… I\'m planning to save it but with this price, I don\'t think it\'s needed."

"Great! Would you like it to be in Mid-Tier Spirit Stones or Low-Tier?" Priam repeated his question.

"Right, can you tell me about the exchange rate of the Mid-Tier and Low-Tier Spirit Stones? I\'m quite confused." Vincent asked as he was indeed unable to understand why their prices vary so much.

"Very well… If you have an appraisal tool, you\'ll probably notice that 1 Mid-Tier Spirit Stone would have the same energy as 10 or so Low-Tier Spirit Stones if put together."

"That\'s right…" Vincent nodded in agreement.

Priam then continued.

"Then, you should know that Spirit Stones are used for Mind Cultivation. Low-Tier ones are good for beginners since they have a small mind power capacity… However, once you reach a certain level, you will need Mid-Tier Spirit Stones during Mind Cultivation… The energy inside would last longer, unlike Low-Tier Spirit Stones which is probably only enough for 3 to 5 minutes for Silver Tier Manipulators… During mind cultivation, an interruption can lead to insanity or even death at worst…"

Vincent understood what Priam was trying to tell.

Since Mid-Tier Spirit Stones have more energy, it means they can be used for a long time without an interruption in cultivation. If they are in a crucial moment or about to break through, they certainly needed the ones with higher capacity to ensure their safety.

"It seems that you don\'t have anything similar to Mana Gathering Formation, is that right?" Vincent asked. This is the method that Mana Practitioners use during cultivation after all. They were also using Mana Crystals to cultivate mana. But with the gathering formation, the efficiency is better since they don\'t have to activate the Mana Crystals one by one.

"Unfortunately, the Spirit Stone is quite mysterious so up until now, we are still using an ancient method. It only allows us to activate 10 spirit stones at the same time. Normally, for a Silver Tier Manipulator like me, 10 Low-Tier Spirit Stones can only last for half an hour… It\'s definitely not a good choice for cultivation…" Priam explained.

Vincent finally understood the value of the Mid-Tier Spirit Stones so he made a decision…
