Chapter 486 - 486 Wan Zu
Seeing that Liu Mei was still confused by this, Shun Long"s smile became even more obvious as he then started to explain
""The reason why it"s a treasure even among peak rank 3 gold grade weapons is because not only was it created from the wood of a rank 6 Silverbark tree, but each one of its strings was actually made using the silk of a rank 6 "Frigid ice spider".
A m.a.t.u.r.e "Frigid ice spider" will easily reach the level of a peak rank 6 magic beast in its life, and even Elders like Elder Zhuan who have already reached the peak of the Dao King realm may not necessarily be able to fight it head-on.
As for its silk, it"s impossible to obtain it under normal circ.u.mstances. Even a group of 3 or 4 peak Dao Kings won"t have any chance to succeed, unless they are all at the same level as Elder Zhuan.""
Liu Mei"s eyes widened in shock, as she realized why Shun Long had just said that that guqin could be considered a treasure even when it was compared with peak rank 3 gold grade weapons.
Just the silk coming from a peak rank 6 magic beast was already something that couldn"t be easily obtained, let alone the wood of a rank 6 tree that Liu Mei hadn"t even heard of before.
However, before Liu Mei had time to ask any questions, the door of the private room in front of her opened from the inside, as a white-haired old man dressed in white robes stepped out from it, with the young man that had led Shun Long and Liu Mei here following right behind him.
The old man stared at the young man and young woman who were standing in front of the room with a calm look on his face for a few moments, before his gaze soon landed on Shun Long as he said calmly
""I heard that you wish to sell 50 bottles of top-grade rank 5 "Qi replenishing pills".""
Although the old man"s voice was calm and seemingly uncaring, it was also obvious that it was filled with some interest towards this young man in front of him. After all, he already knew most of the alchemists in the Holy sect, while the young man in front of him was most likely a new disciple that had just entered the sect.
Nodding his head, Shun Long -who had already retrieved the pill bottles from the counter before coming here- took out a single pill bottle from the "Stone of Time" and tossed it to the old man in front of him before saying
""I also have some more pills to sell aside from the "Qi replenishing pills".""
Since the old man was hiding his cultivation Shun Long couldn"t guess his exact level, but just from the aura coming from his body, it was obvious that this old man had already exceeded the Nascent Soul stage and was most likely a Dao King realm expert!
The old man caught the pill bottle and opened it, taking in the fragrance that was coming from the pills inside it, before a small smile was formed on his lips barely a moment later as he gestured with his hand for Shun Long and Liu Mei to enter the room and said calmly
""Come inside.""
Holding Liu Mei"s hand Shun Long nodded his head calmly as he followed the old man inside the private room, while the young man from earlier bowed and closed the door from the outside.
The private room wasn"t big in size nor did it seem to have too much furniture, being practically empty aside from a big couch and a few chairs that were placed around a medium-sized table, but the moment that Shun Long stepped foot inside it, he instantly noticed that the qi inside this room was even purer than the qi in his own courtyard!
Of course, although the qi here couldn"t be compared to when he was cultivating inside the foggy s.p.a.ce using middle-grade spirit stones to feed the Heaven Swallowing vine in the "Stone of Time", it was still considered extremely pure for normal standards. After all, Shun Long"s Heaven Swallowing vine was a real heavenly treasure!
Sitting on the main seat of the room, the old man gestured for Shun Long and Liu Mei to sit on the couch opposite to him before he introduced himself
""My name is Wan Zu, and I am responsible for the alchemy pills on the first floor of the Golden Treasures Hall. How should I address you?""
Although the white-haired old man who called himself Wan Zu was seemingly polite, his words still hid an aura of superiority almost as if he was looking at 2 people who were barely qualified to sit at the same table as him.
Of course, as a powerful Dao King and a follower of one of the Elders in the sect, it was only natural that he wouldn"t care too much about a pair of new disciples.
There was a deep look in Shun Long"s eyes as he replied in a calm tone
""My name is Shun Long and this is my wife Liu Mei.""
It was obvious that, unlike some outer disciples, Wan Zu hadn"t heard of Shun Long"s name before today as he didn"t have any reaction to it aside from merely nodding his head in response.
Without wasting any time, Shun Long took out the rest of the 50 pill bottles that were filled with top-grade rank 5 "Qi replenishing pills", and placed them all on the table in front of him, before taking out 2 more pill bottles as well and held it in his right hand.
Wan Zu barely threw a glance at the bottles on the table in front of him, before saying in a confident tone
""Our "Golden Treasures Hall" is willing to purchase these 50 bottles filled with top-grade rank 5 "Qi replenishing pills" for 10.000 sect points!""
As he finished his words, Wan Zu took out his sect identifying token and placed it on the table in front of him.
Although 50 pill bottles of top-grade "Qi replenishing pills" wasn"t a small number to sell, it wasn"t something extraordinary to Wan Zu either.
The old man had already seen some alchemists inside the sect sell even more than that when they needed sect points, thus, a purchase at the scale of 10.000 sect points didn"t even enter his eyes.
Nodding his head, Shun Long didn"t take out his sect identifying token to accept the sect points right away, and instead, he placed the second pill bottle that he was holding in his hands on the table in front of him before saying
""Aside from the "Qi replenishing pills", I also want to sell these pills as well. I wonder if senior Wan Zu has seen them before!""
Hearing the confident tone in Shun Long"s voice, Wan Zu narrowed his eyes while a look of interest appeared on his face at the same time, as he stretched out his left hand and s.u.c.k.e.d the pill bottle in his hands.
Staring at the bright red-colored pills inside it, Wan Zu opened the bottle without any hesitation, before he took a sniff of the scent inside it.
However, the moment that he smelled the fragrance coming from the bright red pills, his eyes instantly widened in shock, as he turned his eyes and stared incredulously at Shun Long before asking
""What kind of pill is this?""
