Chapter 565: Chapter 566: Nouveau Riche (Third Update)

This palace, located at the center of the Heavenly Merchant Association, was extremely quiet.

It was surrounded by countless prohibitions that sealed spiritual senses, preventing people outside from eavesdropping on the conversations within.

When it came to business, many transactions naturally required utmost secrecy, and this was something the Heavenly Merchant Association did flawlessly.

The prohibitions around here, even high-ranking Martial Artists at the Life-Death Realm, might not be able to penetrate with their spiritual senses unless they were beings like the Undying Demon Lord.

However, those with the strength similar to the Undying Demon Lord were big shots, and who would stoop to such eavesdropping?

Therefore, trading within this palace was naturally the safest one could imagine.

Upon arriving at the palace, Chu Fengmian wasted no time and seated himself upon one of the thrones within; Bai Xuan also took a seat beside him.

Elder Li, upon entering the palace, immediately addressed Chu Fengmian.

"Your Excellency was merciful just now; this old man thanks you in advance."

"There’s no need for thanks. Within the Heavenly Merchant Association, we naturally follow the Association’s rules, and we won’t create deadly disturbances here,"

Chu Fengmian replied calmly.

"I’ve come to the Heavenly Merchant Association for a major deal; I wonder if your Association is willing to engage?"

"A major deal?"

Elder Li smiled upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words.

"May I know your esteemed name, sir? It must be your first time at our Heavenly Merchant Association."

The Heavenly Merchant Association was one of the most colossal forces on the Mixed Yuan Continent, and there truly wasn’t much they couldn’t trade in.

Listening to Chu Fengmian, Elder Li naturally assumed that Chu Fengmian had never been to the Heavenly Merchant Association before, considering him a newcomer.

Elder Li said with a smile.

"Many high-ranking Life-Death Realm Martial Artists come here to do business. May I know what you need? Our Heavenly Merchant Association has everything you could want, whether it’s pills, spiritual artifacts, materials, natural oddities, or even information, assassination bounties- we can do it all."

"My name is Chu Fengmian, and yes, this is my first time here,"

Chu Fengmian said calmly.

"I’m here to buy a batch of natural oddities and some body refining pills."

As Chu Fengmian spoke, he handed over a list to Elder Li.

Chu Fengmian?

Elder Li pondered Chu Fengmian’s name and thought for a moment. There was no such name among the powerful figures of Beimang Academy.

That meant Chu Fengmian was likely a newly risen genius, or perhaps an obscure disciple who had suddenly become prominent.

Such a person, who suddenly possessed such strength, must have encountered a great opportunity. These were precisely the kind of transactions the Heavenly Merchant Association relished.

Listening to Chu Fengmian, Elder Li laughed heartily and said.

"Natural oddities, body refining pills—our Heavenly Merchant Association has them all."

With that, Elder Li took the list from Chu Fengmian, his eyes scanning over each of the names on it.

"Dragon Emperor Grass? Heavenly Crystal? Divine Mother Origin? This..."

With each item on the list that Elder Li read aloud, his face showed an increasing degree of surprise.

Every name on the list belonged to high-grade natural oddities, especially names like Heavenly Crystal, which were practically legendary.

Had Elder Li not been well-read, having seen this name in ancient books, he probably wouldn’t even know what a Heavenly Crystal was.

Each of the items listed was worth no less than a King-grade Spirit Stone at the very least.

It took Elder Li a long time before he finally said.

"Many of these items, this old man has only heard of and never seen; there are only seven or eight that our Heavenly Merchant Association has."

"You actually have seven or eight kinds?"

This answer also startled Chu Fengmian internally.

The natural oddities written on his list were all useful to him. Given Chu Fengmian’s current strength, the truly beneficial oddities were only those of the highest grade among all natural oddities.

Chu Fengmian had initially thought the Heavenly Merchant Association would have at most three or four, but there turned out to be many more.

"This Heavenly Merchant Association, located on the Mixed Yuan Continent, full of rare materials from spectral seas, indeed has a substantial foundation. I am currently in need of accumulation, to enhance my strength to the limits of Divine Power and prepare to survive the life-death great tribulation. Obtaining these oddities will be of great use to me,"

Chu Fengmian thought to himself, but he displayed nonchalance on his face.

"Then bring them all to me; I’ll buy them all."

This indifferent demeanor was utterly that of a nouveau riche.

"These items are precious; are you sure you want to buy them?"

Elder Li hesitated before offering a reminder.

"I’m afraid each one might be more expensive than the Dragon Blood Saint King Pill."

"Of course,"

Chu Feng nodded, producing a King-grade Spirit Stone from his hand, one that he had obtained from the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave dwelling.

Each stone had been cut to the size for trade and was tossed to Elder Li.

"This Spirit Stone serves as a gift of introduction for Elder Li from Chu,"

"Hmm?"

Elder Li received the King-grade Spirit Stone and scrutinizing it closely, was astounded to find the Spiritual Power within to be of the purest essence.

The Spiritual Power in this Spirit Stone was nearly devoid of impurities; it was so pure that it transcended the grade any Martial Artist could currently refine.

"Is this a King-grade Spirit Stone?"

Elder Li said in astonishment as he held the stone.

"This type of King-grade Spirit Stone is something that can no longer be refined today, only present in ancient caves. And you have one?"

Chu Fengmian chuckled, unsurprised by Elder Li’s astonishment, knowing that the Spirit Stones used in transactions on the Mixed Yuan Continent were mostly top-grade at best.

King-grade Spirit Stones were incredibly rare, only found in ancient caves.

As a natural oddity itself, who would use a King-grade Spirit Stone for trade?

Thus, Elder Li was so shocked.

"Consider this King-grade Spirit Stone a gift from me to Elder Li, as for the Spirit Stones for the trade, there are others,"

As Chu Fengmian spoke, he waved his hand, and dozens of Spirit Stones appeared before him, flashing by.

Each of these Spirit Stones was of a higher grade than the one held by Elder Li.

Some of them, with especially pure Spiritual Power, reached the Emperor-grade Spirit Stone level.

"Emperor-grade Spirit Stones!"

Shock filled Elder Li’s eyes; after a moment of stupefaction, he hastily said,

"Young Master Chu is indeed affluent. The items you require are extremely precious. In our Heavenly Merchant Association’s treasury, how about I lead Young Master Chu to the treasury to see for yourself and choose freely what you need?"
