Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 118 Trading

Inside the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, facing the questioning of the branch elders, Lin Feng smiled lightly, his powerful aura flashing by in an instant.

"What!? A Dou Wang level expert."

The old man named Poison Flame exclaimed in shock, and the men in black behind him gasped in astonishment. Could Elder Poison Flame have been mistaken? A Dou Wang expert of such age looked to be only about twenty years old.

At the age of twenty, they were only at the first level of Battle Master, and that was only with the cultivation of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

"Sir, may we now discuss the transaction?"

"Of course, of course." Although Elder Poison Flame was shocked, he was also a Dou Wang expert. He quickly calmed himself down and said with a smile.

"Any spiritual items or secret manuals that you desire, as long as they are available in this branch, can be traded."

Elder Poison Flame waved his hand, and one of the staff members behind him immediately handed him a list. Elder Poison Flame took it and then handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took a quick look and found that most of them were poisonous creatures, so he handed them to Little Fairy Doctor. Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, also looked on curiously.

After receiving the list, Little Fairy Doctor carefully looked at it, making notes and markings. Once she had made her final decision, she handed it to Lin Feng.

"Let's follow this list!"

Lin Feng took it but didn't even glance at it. Instead, he handed it directly to Elder Poison Flame.

"Sir, the total value of the items listed above is five million gold coins. This transaction amount has reached the highest VIP level of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. You can enjoy a 15% discount, which brings the price down to four million two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."

Elder Poison Flame calculated the discounts and, considering the available offers, granted Lin Feng the highest possible discount.

"Sir, I don't have that many gold coins on me. Would you mind exchanging them for some Battle Spirit Pills?"

Lin Feng thought that he might have to go to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave to buy more poison-attribute spiritual items, and since he didn't have that many gold coins on him, he simply proposed to exchange them for pills.

"Battle Spirit Pill? Of course, that's fine. May I ask if you are an alchemist?" Elder Poison Flame was naturally delighted that Lin Feng was trading pills. Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but speak up slightly to probe.

"That's right, I am indeed a sixth-grade alchemist." Lin Feng made no attempt to hide anything from the old man's probing. Now that he was a mid-level Dou Huang, and his combat strength was approaching that of a Dou Zong, there was no need for him to keep a low profile in the Northwest.

Aside from needing to be wary of the Soul Palace, Lin Feng can be said to be unbridled. Even powerful forces like the Heavenly Serpent Mansion have to give Canaan Academy some face.

"Your Excellency, no, Master, I wonder if you need more spiritual items? I can introduce you to the Poison King. I'm sure you won't find this trip in vain."

Upon hearing Lin Feng personally admit that he was a sixth-grade alchemy master, Elder Poison Flame's expression immediately became respectful, placing himself in a position even lower than Lin Feng's.

A sixth-grade alchemy master is someone even a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) must respect. In fact, even some Dou Zong (Battle Masters) must give face to alchemists who have reached the sixth grade in alchemy.

After all, most experts who reach the Dou Zong realm have their own families behind them. Even if a sixth-grade alchemist might not be that useful to them personally, their influence on the cultivation of their descendants is extremely important. Therefore, Du Yan, who was just a lowly talent, instantly changed his attitude and became respectful when facing a sixth-grade alchemist.

"Oh? The Poison King of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?" Lin Feng pondered for a moment, stroking his chin. If he could exchange for all the high-level poisons from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, it would probably be enough to support Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation to reach the Dou Huang level. Moreover, the Poison King might possess some profound secret manuals of poison masters, and Lin Feng was indeed considering exchanging them for him.

"In that case, we will have to trouble Elder Poison Flame."

Upon seeing Lin Feng agree, Elder Poison Flame was overjoyed. Although he knew that with the sheer size of the Myriad Poison Cave, it would be difficult to win over such a young alchemy master, he had brought such a deal to the headquarters and the Poison Emperor, making such a great contribution. Perhaps, he would be rewarded with a Fighting Spirit Pill.

Indeed, this alchemy master even needed to use pills for a transaction worth a mere four million, so he probably didn't carry much gold. Judging from his tone, the amount of money he was about to trade must be considerable. Thinking of this, Du Yan's tone became even more excited, and he continued to explain the various aspects of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to Lin Feng and the others.

"Tap, tap, tap"

Just as Du Yan was telling Lin Feng and the others about the various forces in the Chuyun Empire, a sound of footsteps slowly approached.

"Elder, I have brought over the poisons listed on the inventory. Please take a look."

The man who had just left placed a storage ring on the table in front of Lin Feng and the others, then bowed and withdrew.

"Master Lin Feng, are you satisfied?"

After Elder Poison Flame received the storage ring, he handed it to Lin Feng. He didn't look at it much, just glanced at it briefly, then handed it to Little Fairy Doctor. Afterwards, he took out some pills from his own storage ring and handed them to Poison Flame.

"So this is the Battle Spirit Pill? Truly worthy of a master!"

Du Yan carefully took the jade bottle, took out the Fighting Spirit Pill and examined it closely. His eyes were unusually intense, which made Lin Feng take a step back without making a sound.

"Master Lin Feng is a Dou Wang level expert at such a young age, and he has also reached such a level in alchemy. He is truly a person of outstanding talent."

After putting away the pills, Du Yan began to flatter Lin Feng again.

"Since there's no problem with the pills, I wonder if Elder Poison Flame is currently available and could lead us to the headquarters of the Myriad Poison Cave now?"

Lin Feng waved his hand, showing he had no intention of mutual flattery. They were only there to purchase poisons for Little Fairy Doctor. Once they had acquired the necessary poisons, they would leave and probably wouldn't return to the Izumo Empire.

Moreover, he was already at the Douhuang realm at this point. With the help of the strange fire, even if the Poison King of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave reached the peak of the Douhuang realm, it wouldn't be of much help to him.

He had no objection to Lin Feng's suggestion regarding the Poison Flame, and even wanted to bring Lin Feng to headquarters. Once the deal was completed, he was certain to obtain a considerable amount of resources, and might even have a chance to acquire a Spirit-Boosting Pill. That way, his cultivation level, which had stagnated for many years, might even advance further.

Thinking of this, Du Yan was even more excited. He didn't say anything more, greeted Lin Feng, and then went down to find the branch managers to explain the matters. After that, he led Lin Feng and the others toward the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
