Chapter 429: The Price of Earth Fire
Du Guyi’s face turned red then green. He felt that he had nowhere to hide his face and wished that he could find a hole to hide in! He gritted his teeth. “Our Heavenly Gates Sect will naturally not go back on our words. Sooner or later, the truth will come out. When I find out who stole our Fire Spirit Beast, I definitely will not forgive him!”
Yun Chujiu ignored him and hopped to Master Xuanyuan and said, “Master Xuanyuan, I’ve dealt with the unreasonable people. You can handle the rest of the business!”
Du Guyi was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. ‘Good, very good. Yun Chujiu, I will remember you!’
Master Xuanyuan held back his laughter and said to Du Guyi, “Master Xuanyuan, first, transfer the ten million Spirit Stones to us!”
Du Guyi naturally did not want to be ridiculed by everyone for the ten million low-grade Spirit Stones so he gritted his teeth and transferred them to Master Xuanyuan. He thought in his heart that even though they had lost this round, many people would definitely be jealous of Spirit Radiance Sect’s sudden acquisition of the Fire Spirit Beast. ‘Don’t even think about enjoying your gains in peace.’
“Master Xuanyuan, congratulations! Not only did you obtain one-tenth of our Heavenly Gates Sect’s share of Spirit Stones, but you also obtained a Fire Spirit Beast for free. Your sect will soar in the future. Heavenly Gates Sect wouldn’t be able to compete with you!” Du Guyi said in a strange tone.
Fairy Yu Mei and Daoist Master Zhen Yi’s thoughts s.h.i.+fted slightly. Originally, the four great sects were on par with each other and kept each other in check. Now, Spirit Radiance Sect obtained one-tenth of the Heavenly Gates Sect’s share of Spirit Stones, and they even obtained a Fire Spirit Beast for free. ‘They will definitely surpa.s.s us in the future. Will they play tricks when that time came?’
The other large and small factions also began to s.h.i.+ft their attention to the earth fire from their initial wait-and-see att.i.tude. Would Spirit Radiance Sect set the price of the earth fire to be very high?
Master Xuanyuan laughed loudly. “Sect leader Du, you must be joking! Since our sect has received the heaven’s gift, we naturally won’t want to enjoy the benefits alone! After discussion, we’ve decided to set the price of the earth fire at eighty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones per cart, which is eighty percent of what Heavenly Gates Sect charged!
“Also, if any faction can hand over a fragment of the great Void Mirror to us, then the price of the earth fire will be reduced by a further twenty percent! Moreover, as everyone has seen, there’s only one Fire Spirit Beast, so production of the earth fire is limited. Therefore, those who can provide the fragment of the great Void Mirror will have priority in purchasing it.”
Master Xuanyuan’s words caused a huge commotion among the crowd. They thought that Spirit Radiance Sect would raise the price, but they did not expect that they would actually lower the price. This was truly unexpected! This instantly calmed the jealousy of the people!
However, some people were clearly unwilling to see such a reaction. Du Guyi asked with a cold smile, “Master Xuanyuan, since we can no longer enter the great void mystical realm, I’m wondering why your sect still places so much importance on the fragment of the great Void Mirror? Could it be that there is some unspeakable secret within it?”
Fairy Yu Mei and Daoist Master Zhenyi also looked at Master Xuanyuan suspiciously. This matter was indeed a little suspicious.
Master Xuanyuan smiled slightly, “The reason why we want to collect the fragments of the great Void Mirror is because this Fire Spirit Beast was heaven’s gift, so we want to do something that conforms to the law of the heavens. The great Void Mirror was pa.s.sed down from the ancient times. If we can collect all the fragments, it can be considered as a small return from our sect to the heaven’s gift.
“This matter is entirely voluntary. Our sect only provided it as a choice, and we will not force anyone into it. Everyone can consider this among yourselves. If you’re interested in purchasing the earth fire, please come to our sect another day for a chat. We will not keep you all here today!”
When everyone heard Master Xuanyuan say that, although they still had some doubts in their hearts, they could only take their leave.
Before leaving, Du Guyi stared at Yun Chujiu deeply. Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes and said, “Master Du, do you have something to say to me? I advise you to settle the Spirit Stone share transfer procedures as soon as possible. Otherwise, there won’t be a share of earth fire for Heavenly Gates Sect!”
“Little girl, you’re very good. However, you’re already so outstanding at such a young age, showing off your intelligence like that. You have to guard your own little life!” Du Guyi felt his head buzzing. This smelly girl was really too infuriating!
