Chapter 1579: The Fairy Extreme King
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“I want to buy a Saint King dragon soul and a Saint King elephant soul. Does Hundred Flower Palace have this?”
Zhang Ruochen stunned The Fairy Extreme King as soon as he spoke.
The Fairy Extreme King was quite shocked, but with his cultivation and experience, he obviously wouldn’t show it. Searching his face, he asked, “Are you serious or are you joking?”
Zhang Ruochen swiped his finger across his spatial ring and took out a storage bag. He placed it on the table and pushed it to The Fairy Extreme King.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s spatial ring, The Fairy Extreme King’s eyes brightened. He knew that this was a valuable spatial treasure.
With growing antic.i.p.ation, The Fairy Extreme King opened the storage bag and saw that it was filled with saint stones. He estimated it to be between one and two million stones. It was a great fortune. It wasn’t something a regular half-step Saint King could afford.
Seems like those girls got lucky. This really is a rich person.
The Fairy Extreme King was happy inside, but his expression didn’t waver. Instead, he grew solemn. “Saint dragon and elephant souls are easy. We can kill them easily without causing a commotion, but it’s thousands of times harder to hunt Saint King dragons and elephants. I would risk my life too.
“So, only someone above the seven step Saint King level can hunt a Saint King dragon or elephant without any risks and take their saint souls.
“But you’ll need to pay quite a lot of saint stones to ask a seven step Saint King for help.”
Zhang Ruochen was prepared for this. “How many?”
“One Saint King dragon soul is ten million saint stones. A Saint King elephant soul is eight million saint stones.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned. This price was higher than he’d expected.
A weaker Saint King’s entire fortune might not even be worth ten million saint stones.
But what was a Saint King?
In Kunlun’s Field, a Saint King could be the leader of an ancient sect with millions of disciples and control an area that spanned millions of miles.
Of course, a Saint King dragon and elephant soul couldn’t be gotten by a regular force. It was normal for the price to be high.
Seeing him hesitate, The Fairy Extreme King was worried that he would lose this big client. He hurriedly said, “Saint Kings are powerful figures in any major world, especially with dragons. They’re a great force with many impressive figures. If you killed one, the chain reaction would be big. You could infuriate Supreme Saints, dragon kings, and even dragon G.o.ds. Very few saint stores would dare to give you a price.”
“Let me consider it.”
As people said, you should compare a product from different stores. Zhang Ruochen naturally wouldn’t only ask for the Hundred Flower Palace’s price. He decided to go look at other stores first.
Sensing his intent, The Fairy Extreme King chuckled. “There are only a handful of stores in the entire Heavenly Capital Saint Market who would dare to take this business. In the past century, the Hundred Flower Palace has been trying to develop and make more friends in the trade, so we would always give the lowest price. If you go ask another store, they’ll only give you a higher price.
“I have a list of all Heavenly Capital Saint Market stores here. I’ll give it to you for free. If you think our price is reasonable after asking, you can come back.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t put up an act. He took The Fairy Extreme King’s pamphlet, picked up his storage bag, and walked out of Hundred Flower Palace.
“Who exactly is he? He’s young, but he’s very strong and composed. He’s also very rich. Is he a low-key deity or G.o.d’s grandson?”
The Fairy Extreme King looked at the young human’s back. He’d used all sorts of tactics earlier, but he couldn’t see through Zhang Ruochen. It was clear that he had an incredible treasure that could hide his aura.
After thinking for a long while, the Fairy Extreme King still couldn’t get to a conclusion. He could only shake his head and return to his store.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t use the Fairy Extreme King’s list. Instead, he went straight to the stores by the top ten worlds, and asked for their prices.
The stronger a world was, the more credible they would be.
The top ten saint stores all had different prices.
For some, a dragon soul cost up to 20 million saint stones and an elephant soul was 15 million saint stones.
Buddha Field didn’t even sell dragon and elephant souls.
There was a store whose price was similar to the Hundred Flower Palace, but it was still two million saint stones more.
“It seems that the Fairy Extreme King’s price was indeed low.”
After comparing everything, Zhang Ruochen returned to Hundred Flower Palace.
The Fairy Extreme King seemed to have guessed that he would return. He had already prepared steaming flower tea and welcomed him to an ancient VIP room with a smile. “So, I didn’t give a bad price, right?”
Zhang Ruochen sipped the fragrant tea. The scent actually lifted his low spirits. It was like drinking honey that reenergized him.
This can actually affect a cultivator’s mood. This tea isn’t bad.
After praising the tea inwardly, Zhang Ruochen said straightforwardly, “How long will it take for me to receive the dragon and elephant soul?”
“No store in the Heavenly Capital Saint Market has Saint King dragon and elephant souls at hand,” the Fairy Extreme King said seriously. “I must send the message to Thousand Pistil Field. If they have supplies, you’ll be able to have them within half a month. If not, I’ll have to send a strong cultivator to hunt. It would take more time, but they’ll definitely send it to Hundred Flower Palace within a month.”
He was actually this confident in hunting a Saint King dragon or elephant.
Seems like the status of Hundred Flower Palace in Thousand Pistil Field is similar to Martial City of Kunlun’s Field, Zhang Ruochen thought. It controls the economic lifeline of the entire world and must be filled with strong cultivators.
“I don’t have so many saint stones with me,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Can I use other treasures to exchange for saint stones.”
“Of course.”
Chuckling, the Fairy Extreme King continued, “No one would bring so many saint stones with them for no reason. Actually, we would rather cultivators use treasures to barter. What kind of treasure would you like to exchange?”
Zhang Ruochen had a lot of treasures, but most of them were very useful to him. He couldn’t sell them.
“I’ve collected too many treasures and I’m afraid they won’t fit. I need a bigger place to exchange.” Zhang Ruochen prepared to get rid of the Blue Dragon Dynasty’s treasury and the things stolen from Zuling Field.
There were too many of them, but they weren’t very valuable, so they weren’t useful to Zhang Ruochen. They filled up the spatial ring like trash.
The Fairy Extreme King was taken aback. This room was so large but it wasn’t big enough?
How many treasures did he have?
The Fairy Extreme King could tell that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a jokester, so he led him deeper inside Hundred Flower Palace. They arrived at a saint martial field.
He had also invited an appraiser just for this. The expert was waiting at the side of the field.
The expert seemed a bit old and had a jade headpiece. However, his hair was a pile of green leaves. Evidently, he was a plant cultivator.
His Spiritual Power was very strong. Zhang Ruochen met his eyes, but he couldn’t gauge his level.
Zhang Ruochen took out his Gold Light Ribbon and poured Holy Qi in. Then the Golden Light Ribbon flew up, hovering dozens of feet in the air.
Whoos.h.!.+
Treasures flew out of the bag and landed on the martial field. It included many rune scrolls, translucent saint jades, bottles of unknown pills, all sorts of leather, bone, and blood from beasts, and other random things.
Soon, the field that was dozens of meters wide was piled with treasures.
The Fairy Extreme King and the appraiser were frozen. How could they have expected that Zhang Ruochen had collected so many low-grade treasures? There were at least a few hundred thousand.
Did he rob a major sect’s treasury?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t think that it would be so magnificent after pouring everything out. Coughing dryly, he said, “This is about one-third of what I have. Calculate how many saint stones this is worth.”
The Fairy Extreme King couldn’t help but ask himself again, Who exactly is this human cultivator?
While the appraiser was appraising the treasures’ value, the Fairy Extreme King observed the items. He wanted to find any trace to deduce Zhang Ruochen’s ident.i.ty.
It wasn’t normal for a young and rich guy to appear out of nowhere.
Only the outer ring of the Hundred Flower Palace had pavilions closely packed to act as exchange venues.
The deeper you went, the thicker the Holy Qi. The dirt also became red soil with saintly light with many saintly flowers planted in it. It looked like a beautiful sea of flowers.
The Way of Truth image left behind by the Datura Flower G.o.ddess was deep within the sea of flowers. The prides of the Thousand Pistil Field all gathered there to cultivate.
The people in the trading places were either strong cultivators like The Fairy Extreme King who came to the Truth Heavenly Domain temporarily, or were low-cla.s.s servants.
Ji Fanxin, the Fairy Baihua, had come to the Truth Heavenly Domain to study the Way of Truth. She already crossed the sixth level of sea and reached the seventh level. She was the leader of her generation in the Thousand Pistil Field, so she was naturally the master of the Hundred Flower Palace.
Right now, the elegant Ji Fanxin was walking in the sea of flowers with a basket woven from purple cloud bamboo, picking flowers. Clouds of pure white mist enshrouded her. She looked like an otherworldly fairy.
Every step she took, specks of light would fly out of her footprints. The specks would sprout into flowers. It was very spectacular, as if she could control the lives of the flora.
A group of Heavenly Fire Demonic b.u.t.terflies and demonic bees flew around her, helping her collect petals while greedily sucking up the light. Their cultivations were also growing.
“It’s so great to follow the fairy. I don’t have to cultivate to improve.”
“Fairy, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life.”
…
Suddenly, a Heavenly Fire Demonic b.u.t.terfly that was flying up high suddenly cried out, “Come look! What is this? Lights of all different colors are s.h.i.+ning from the martial field. It looks like many treasures are piled there.”
The b.u.t.terflies and bees all swarmed up, fighting to fly higher and looking toward the martial field.
“Oh my, so many treasures are there. Did a big client come to the Hundred Flower Palace?”
“Uncle Yao is there, along with Old Qian, and that human… Isn’t that the guy that we pulled here?”
“We really did pull him here.”
“It was all me. I got him here and he has nothing to do with you all.”
The nine b.u.t.terflies started fighting again, each one wanting to prove that they could take the credit.
