Chapter 320: Fanghu
Mount Shu, Heaven-Reaching Peak.
At this second, Venerable Wen Yuan and the 4 Guardian Elders, together with Wang Xuanling, the grand peak grasp, Previous Man Sikong, the height grasp of Solitude Peak, and Tantai Jing, the height grasp of Rain Cedar Peak, have been within the Boundless Palace. There have been not more than ten individuals, all with critical expressions, discussing necessary issues.
Aside from those on the highest positions of Mount Shu, which included the sect chief and the Guardian Elders, the opposite three—Wang Xuanling, being the grand peak grasp; Previous Man Sikong, being identified for his advantage; and Tantai Jing, being identified for his knowledge—have been typically known as upon for necessary issues.
These people constituted Mount Shu’s present decision-making staff. Just for main public issues would all thirty-five peak masters be known as to a gathering.
As for Di Nufeng, she normally disliked attending such gatherings as a result of they interfered together with her sleep. If she did attend, it meant that others most well-liked to not come…
So she was solely known as for significantly vital issues.
“Pavilion of Celestial Destiny is unwilling to promote the Demon-Subduing Pestle to Mount Shu upfront however mentioned they’d give us a ten p.c low cost on the ultimate public sale worth,” Wang Xuanling mentioned in a deep voice.
“10 p.c off?” The Alchemy Grasp responded, “That is fairly a reduction.”
“As anticipated, it’s not potential for us to get it earlier than the others,” the Conservation Grasp mentioned with a sigh.
With the Pavilion of Celestial Destiny establishing such a big presence in Taotie Metropolis, that they had to make sure their credibility remained intact. If the immortal sects within the Divine 9 and Terrestrial Ten might buy the displayed gadgets upfront, it could undermine the aim of holding an public sale.
Nevertheless, they nonetheless needed to present some respect to Mount Shu, therefore providing a ten% low cost as a gesture of goodwill. This choice was comprehensible.
“The Mount Shu Sect should get the Demon-Subduing Pestle again,” the Self-discipline Grasp mentioned firmly. “The Mount Shu Sect has made nice achievements by the six demon-eliminating treasures. Because it has resurfaced, we should deliver it again!”
“That is true, however the individuals from the Penglai Supreme Sect may also compete with us…” Previous Man Sikong mentioned, “In any case, they’ve the Demon-Reducing Saber. They most likely need to collect all six demon-eliminating treasures too.”
A number of years in the past, the Mount Shu Sect had some minor conflicts with the Penglai Supreme Sect exactly due to the six demon-eliminating treasures.
A very long time in the past, a senior of the Mount Shu Sect entered the Profound Darkness Hidden Realm with the Demon-Reducing Saber and died there, which resulted within the Mount Shu Sect shedding the Demon-Reducing Saber.
A number of many years in the past, Daoist Chi Niu[1] from the Penglai Supreme Sect discovered this legendary weapon within the Profound Darkness Hidden Realm.
In accordance with the customary guidelines of the immortal realm, if a sect’s members misplaced a beneficial merchandise in a hidden realm for a few years, it could turn out to be an ownerless treasure. Whoever finds it throughout their exploration of the hidden realm would get to maintain it.
Nevertheless, given the extraordinary significance of the six demon-eliminating treasures, the Mount Shu Sect went to barter, hoping to trade different beneficial gadgets for the Demon-Reducing Saber. This was fairly affordable.
However Daoist Chi Niu was deeply keen on the Demon-Reducing Saber and straight rejected Mount Shu’s provide for a commerce.
Even with out contemplating the synergy between the six demon-eliminating treasures, the Demon-Reducing Saber alone might rank among the many high hundred within the Catalog of the Mortal World’s Ten Thousand Treasures. Treasures of this stage have been certainly not one thing individuals would simply trade.
After some disputes, the matter was ultimately left unresolved.
With the looks of the Demon-Subduing Pestle this time, there was an eighty p.c probability that the Penglai Supreme Sect would compete for it. In any case, the six demon-eliminating treasures complemented one another, and possessing two collectively would considerably improve their energy.
“Sure, such a legendary weapon at an public sale will undoubtedly fetch a sky-high worth,” mused the Supervising Elder. “How can Mount Shu compete with Penglai in relation to wealth?”
The emergence of a legendary weapon would inevitably spark a bidding frenzy, and it was no shock if the ultimate worth soared to extraordinary heights.
The Penglai Supreme Sect, famend for its three resource-rich islands teeming with numerous spirit crops, was thought-about essentially the most blessed land of an immortal sect within the 9 provinces. As compared, Mount Shu’s monetary and martial energy appeared considerably insufficient.
The opposite tablet retailers knew that Chu Liang had sourced his Spirit-Focus Drugs from the Valuable Tablet Pavilion, so that they had no objections. Even at this worth, they might nonetheless make a substantial revenue.
Desirous to make a revenue, the tablet retailers rushed to promote their inventory shortly. They knew that the sudden inflow of Spirit-Focus Drugs would drive costs down, and anybody who was sluggish to promote would find yourself taking a loss.
Wen Yulong watched Chu Liang’s complete operation in amazement.
By way of this sequence of maneuvers, Chu Liang turned 60,000 sword cash into 100,000 Vermillion-Hen cash, which have been almost equal in worth, netting a revenue of 40,000. Moreover, he secured the friendship of a number of main tablet retailers in Taotie Metropolis, guaranteeing smoother dealings sooner or later. Chu Liang gained each respect and wealth.
He made cash off them, they usually nonetheless needed to thank him.
This was fairly magical.
“It was due to your assist this time. Is there something you need to purchase?” Chu Liang requested with a smile. “I am going to pay for it.”
Wen Yulong’s eyes lit up instantly. “Actually?”
“Nicely…” Chu Liang thought for a second and handed over an enchanted storage device. “By no means thoughts, I am going to simply provide you with a bonus.”
The storage device contained 1,000 sword cash, which was no small quantity for Wen Yulong.
Nevertheless, the bonus was merely a drop within the bucket, not sufficient for the supplies that might make his whimsical concepts come true.
If Wen Yulong was allowed to take pleasure in any purchases, Chu Liang may find yourself crying on his method again to Mount Shu.
“Thanks, Senior Brother Chu.” Wen Yulong accepted the bonus with out criticism after which requested, “Now that the Spirit-Focus Drugs are offered, what are we going to do? Are we heading again?”
“No rush. Since we made cash, now we have to spend it,” Chu Liang replied. “There’s one thing I need to purchase. I am unsure if Taotie Metropolis has it.”
“What’s it?” Wen Yulong requested.
“Human-Confronted Xiao,” Chu Liang replied.
This ghastly entity enabled the unboxing of Giant-Headed Dolls, which, whereas not as highly effective as different enchanted instruments, have been essential for Chu Liang’s cultivation development.
It was all due to the Giant-Headed Dolls bearing the burden that he might reside such a peaceable life.
For these hardworking Giant-Headed Dolls that labored on a regular basis with out taking a break, Chu Liang has solely 4 phrases: the extra, the higher.
Nevertheless, the Human-Confronted Xiao was extraordinarily uncommon. Regardless of his lengthy search, Chu Liang had but to come across a 3rd one. Now that he was in Taotie Metropolis, famend for gathering treasures from throughout the 9 provinces, he realized it was an opportune second to renew his quest of trying to find this entity.
“Is not {that a} very uncommon ghost? What do you want it for, Senior Brother Chu?” Wen Yulong requested with curiosity.
Chu Liang paused for a second, then replied mysteriously, “I’ve a reference to this entity.”
Wen Yulong glanced on the determine earlier than him, who spoke in riddles, and determined to not inquire additional. As a substitute, he steered, “Let’s discover across the space tomorrow. If we are able to’t discover it, we are able to submit a request on the Pavilion of Celestial Destiny. They concentrate on discovering treasures and can notify us as quickly as they’ve any information.”
Chu Liang smiled as he mentioned, “That sounds excellent.”
