chapter-877
“Right, Sir Yu, a half-demon wants to buy medicine for constitution augmentation? That’s the second funniest thing I’ve heard this month.” Another youth was skinny but his eyes had a white glow. His form kept on fluctuating.
This was clearly a top master, not a useless young master.
“Ninth Brother, what’s the funniest thing then?”
“Haha, it’s Tian Xiaoyue losing his bride on his wedding day. I heard that the girl even lost her virginity to another man the night before, isn’t that funnier?”
“Shh! Don’t talk about this matter since Xiao Tianyue can be troublesome, it’ll be problematic if he finds out.”“Please, everyone in the twelve territories right now knows about it, does he want to kill everyone to keep it a secret? Haha!” Sir Yu laughed.
The three then entered the ice palace, completely ignoring Feiyun’s group.
“Sir Yu, Ninth Young Master, Thirteenth Young Master, welcome. We have prepared some 10,000-year-old herbs for you.” The pretty attendant said respectfully, trying to put on an alluring expression.
If she could climb up any of them, her status would soar afterward. Alas, she knew that this was impossible.
These three prodigies had a prestigious background. Even a few female historical geniuses wanted to give it all to them. Why would they look at her twice?
All the workers started serving the three youths and ignored Feiyun’s group.
“Since they don’t care about us, we can just keep looking.” Feiyun wasn’t angry because half-demons had no status to speak of. Being looked down upon was expected.Those at the bottom shouldn’t complain and should only focus on self-improvement to gain higher status in order to avoid this in the future.
Feiyun found the counter with all the augmentation medicines. There were a total of eight types.
The cheapest one was paramita grass at 5,000 years. One root cost 1,000 True Mysterious Spirit Stones.
The most expensive one was a spirit halcyon. One drop required 5,000,000 spirit stones.
Ye Xiaomu and Li Lang were frightened after seeing the price. Even one root of the cheapest type was more than they could ever afford.
Feiyun himself shook his head after seeing the spirit halcyon’s price - too expensive.
Finally, he chose one at a fair price - heaven-connect typha at 10,000 years and an 80,000 price.
The effect wasn’t comparable to the spirit halcyon. Nonetheless, it was still a top-ranked material. The elders from ancient clans might not be able to afford it.
“Give me four heaven-connect typha roots.” Feiyun said.
Li Lang and Ye Xiaomu became startled. They knew that Feiyun had plenty of spirit stones but at best, he would only be buying the paramita grass. Now, he chose a fairly expensive one and four roots at that.
The entire palace became quiet with many guests looking over. After all, not just anyone could afford this sum.
Even the three prodigies became interested. However, they had a look of disdain after noticing that it was Feiyun.
“Look at the price again. One root is 80,000 spirit stones, not 8.” A cultivator reminded with good intention, afraid that Feiyun was looking at the wrong thing.
“No, four heaven-connect typha roots are correct.” Feiyun took out five spirit stones - three Golden-string and two World Boundary stones.
One Golden-string was worth 100,000 True Mysterious Spirit Stones.
One World Boundary was worth 10,000.
The total was 320,000, just the right price. He placed them on top of the counter. They issued bright and spiritual rays, completely dazzling the crowd.
The attendant who looked down on Feiyun ran over; her eyes completely changed. This was a youth richer than some elders. Though he was a half-demon, he definitely had a big background.
She respectfully handed four typha roots over to him and asked: “Sir, do you need anything else?”
Feiyun naturally had other business to take care of at this place. Buying these roots for the two was only out of convenience.
He needed to prepare enough ace cards in order to survive the battlefield.
“I have a big proposal and need to talk with your boss in private.” Feiyun said.
The girl understood and invited Feiyun into the inner chamber.
The backer of this store was Firecloud Ground, quite powerful. That’s why Feiyun decided to do business with them.
The boss of the store was a big shot from this sect with unfathomable cultivation. If Feiyun hasn’t spent a large sum, he wouldn’t be qualified to meet him.
“Young man, if your transaction is less than 10,000,000, don’t waste my time.” Kong Yu sat in the meditative pose, floating in the air. His body was ethereal.
This was only an avatar; his real body wasn’t here. Nonetheless, it was still oppressive and instilled pressure just like that of a god.
“The deal is big but I’m wondering if Firecloud Ground is trustworthy enough to not expose the customer’s information.” Feiyun said.
“Doing business requires trust and integrity. Firecloud Ground has more than a thousand shops at Crimson Leaf, many more across the twelve territories. No one has a better reputation than us. I know the reason for your hesitation. You’re a half-demon with weak cultivation, afraid that we might either rob you or expose the deal and your wealth, resulting in potential death.”
“Do not worry, I guarantee that even if a first-level Heaven’s Mandate were to do a 100,000,000 deal, we still won’t be blinded with greed. Since 300,000 years ago, we started handing out VIP badges to keep the customers satisfied and worry-free.”
“Anyone who has done a 10,000,000 deal with us will get a two-star VIP badge. 100,000,000 and above, a three-star badge.”
“Depending on the star level, we’ll offer our assistance when necessary for the customers. On the other hand, if we ever do something improper, you can communicate with the other badge holders and ruin our reputation. This is why there is no problem when doing business with us.”
Feiyun only half trusted the guy despite his long explanation. The reason why they haven’t done anything improper was due to the value of the transaction. If Feiyun were to take out a saint artifact, they would instantly kill him for it.
Nonetheless, their reputation certainly wasn’t fake. As long as Feiyun didn’t bring something ridiculous here, it would still be fine.
He wanted to buy Heaven’s Emergence talismans, Nirvana Pills, Worm-hole Spirit Stones…
This was in preparation for the battlefield. However, these things were expensive and he didn’t have enough spirit stones, hence the need to sell some items.
Feiyun took out a Golden Silkworm Buddhist Pill. On the surface was the image of a Buddha. Hymns echoed around the pill along with rays of Buddhist energies, looking like a lamp.
“This… is a ninth-ranked Buddhist Pill with incredible purity. Quite rare, it has to be from a top alchemist.” Kong Yu became surprised. The Buddhist affinity here had a reviving effect, definitely capable of bringing someone back from the brink of death.
Could this be a formula found in an ancient temple of a Buddhist Saint? This half-demon is quite lucky.
No, that can’t be. It must be a Buddhist master wanting spirit stones but does not wish to divulge his identity.
Kong Yu thought that he understood the situation. This half-demon was only selling on behalf of the Buddhist Master.
“State the price.” Feiyun said.
“A ninth-ranked pill is worth 5,000,000 spirit stones and up. Due to the purity of its energy, we are willing to pay 6,000,000.”
“That’s fine, I agree with the price. I have three right now, do you wish to buy them?”
“Haha, we can handle it even if you have three hundred.”
Feiyun could actually produce three hundred pills. This required a lot of essences but he could recover after one or two months.
However, if he were to take out that many, it would incite suspicion. An alchemist would have a hard time producing that many. The commotion would be big too, impossible to hide.
That’s not something Feiyun wanted to see.
