There were also some people who studied refining who might buy some broken and abandoned magic treasure to be reforged or repaired. They could practice their skills and earn a fortune at the same time!

  However, what Lu Ping was considering was that since he could directly extract the Qi of the five elements from the dead objects.

  Then, why couldn’t he directly extract it from these abandoned flying swords?

  Of course, Lu Ping needed to carry out some experiments. The reason why he carefully looked at the spirit stones just now.

  Was to determine how much Qi of the five elements was contained in the spirit stones in the shop, so that he would have a comparison in the future.

  Although he didn’t completely extract it, he made some rough judgments by carefully touching and sensing it.

  The rest was to buy some damaged flying swords and see how much Qi of the five elements could be extracted from them.

  Of course, there were also people who were in the business of collecting junk.

  They bought some junk at a low price from cultivators and sold them at a slightly higher price.

  Lu Ping searched carefully among Universe Treasure and finally bought a flying sword from a shop that sold junk flying swords and artifacts for 600 star dollars.

  It was a water-type standard flying sword that had been broken into more than ten pieces.

  The delivery was fast!

  An hour later, Lu Ping received the package.

  It was a blue flying sword. When he opened the box, it was full of fragments.

  It was quite complete. The entire flying sword was fixed with glue.

  Lu Ping reached out his hand, and a white light appeared in his hand.

  Slowly, some green and white gas was extracted from the flying sword by Lu Ping.

  When the gas left the flying sword, it immediately turned into gravel-like particles and scattered in the box.

  Lu Ping narrowed his eyes.

  The total amount was one-seventh of the water-type Qi that he had seen in the shop before! The quality was also quite poor!

  However, the mass of gas kept cooling in Lu Ping’s hands. Slowly, the quality had caught up with the spirit stone mine in the shop, and the total amount continued to shrink to about one-tenth.

  Lu Ping was not surprised by this.

  This represented the absolute difference between the two!

  But the problem was that the water-type stone was sold for a total of 130,000 star dollars!

  If the ore was made from scrap materials, one only needed 10,000 star dollars to achieve the same effect!

  Sure enough, it worked! Lu Ping’s eyes lit up!

  But the problem also appeared. What should he do with the two masses of energy in his hands.

  After thinking for a while, Lu Ping decided to merge the two into Ming Lei!

  Metal creates water. The two did not conflict with each other. He could just add wood Qi later.

  Under Lu Ping’s control, the two lumps of Qi of the five elements slowly merged into Ming Lei.

  Ming Lei let out a buzzing sound, followed by a flash of blue light.

  At this moment, Lu Ping suddenly felt that after Ming Lei was added with water Qi, it seemed to have been sublimated.

  On the entire body of the sword, lightning continued to flash.

  In reality, the Lightning mode was the attribute that the system added into the sword.

  From the perspective of the five elements, the lightning was wood Qi, and it was not compatible with metal Qi. Therefore, the sword could only truly use the power of lightning when it was in the Lightning mode, erupting with powerful strength. Moreover, it could only be maintained for a short period of time, and it was not easy to control.

  But now, with the addition of the water element, the water element gave Ming Lei the ability to command lightning normally.

  Of course, this was only the beginning.

  Lu Ping began to spend money.

  But before he spent money, he first bought a fire-type magic treasure- a Fire Spirit ring, and an Earth Spirit ring. Both were low-level magic treasures.

  The two magic treasures cost Lu Ping 30,000 star dollars.

  This was also the reason why Foundation Establishment cultivators rarely bought these things.

  For cultivators who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, these things were actually not cheap.

  Of course, there were still people who bought them. For example, those people who went out of the city to hunt, they would not let go of any opportunity to increase their combat power. To them, survival was the most important.

  Of course, Lu Ping did not have such a need. However, the reason why he bought these two items was very simple. This was because many damaged flying swords might not only contain the Qi of the five elements.

  If he were to refine the Qi of the five elements of fire or earth, he could not let it dissipate. That would be too wasteful.

  Immediately after, Lu Ping bought a large number of damaged flying swords. Of course, what Lu Ping wanted was mainly damaged items that contained the true Qi of the three elements of metal, water, and wood.

  When the damaged flying swords he bought were in his hands, Lu Ping began to refine and smelt them.

  The grade of Ming Lei began to increase!

  With the enhancement of the five elements Qi, Ming Lei quickly reached the level of a top-grade magic treasure.

  At this time, Lu Ping had already smelt nearly 50,000 star dollars worth of materials inside.

  But it must be known that any top-grade magic treasure was sold for hundreds of thousands of star dollars. Some of the more powerful ones could even be sold for millions of star dollars!

  The profits were extremely high!

  Lu Ping had already seen a way to make a fortune.

  And at this time, Lu Ping’s thoughts had also changed!

  Was the so-called number one in the Foundation Establishment stage still necessary? No!

  As long as he could raise the grade of the magic treasure and sell it, he would have an endless stream of money!

  Even if Ming Lei was a top-grade magic treasure, Lu Ping didn’t intend to end it just like that.

  But this time, Lu Ping spent 150,000 star dollars to raise Ming Lei to a top-grade magic treasure.

  In this process, the grade of the Fire Spirit ring and the Earth Ring had also been raised to a low-grade magic treasure.

  At this moment, Lu Ping suddenly realized that he had bought almost all the damaged magic treasures in Binhai City……

  After all, damaged magic treasures were relatively rare.

  Very few people bought large amounts of damaged magic treasures like Lu Ping did.

  Some shops even started to increase their prices……

  Of course, they could be bought in other cities as well, but it would take more time for them to be delivered.

  Lu Ping thought for a moment and established his own shop. He scanned the Fire Spirit ring and sold it.

  He priced it at 400,000 star dollars!

  He also started to buy more useless magic treasures and flying swords from other cities.
