Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Wen Xiaoyan chuckled upon hearing this, "Hehe, what a joke. Don't forget that our Master of Wanhe Valley is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The buyers who come here are all very sensible. If we encountered some fools who tried to pull some tricks, they probably wouldn't be able to leave our shop. Therefore, you two can rest assured that safety and reputation are our top priorities when doing business at our Xiushui Shop."

Xu Jingtian nodded and continued, "So, are all the magical artifacts you sell these mid-grade ones?"

Wen Xiaoyan was overjoyed and quickly said with a smile, "I didn't realize that you two seniors were so wealthy. This floor sells mid-grade magic artifacts, the second floor sells high-grade magic artifacts, and the third floor sells even higher-grade treasure artifacts."

Xu Jingtian said "Oh," and continued, "I wonder how much this treasure costs?"

The man in blue was startled and couldn't help but glance at Xu Jingtian a few more times. He knew that the level of a magic weapon and one's cultivation were always matched; generally, only Foundation Establishment disciples were qualified to possess a magic weapon. Wearing an unsuitable magic weapon would inevitably attract the attention of others; could it be that Xu Jingtian's cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage?

So this young disciple must have deliberately concealed part of his cultivation level, preventing the man in blue from seeing through him. Disciples of major sects are indeed extraordinary; not only are they wealthy, but their actions are also shrouded in mystery.

Wen Xiaoyan also exclaimed "Ah!" and asked in surprise, "Does this senior want to buy a treasure?" Hearing that Xu Jingtian was interested in treasures, Wen Xiaoyan even changed her way of addressing him, calling Xu Jingtian "senior".

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Those who can use magical artifacts are naturally far more powerful than her. Regardless of age, those with lower cultivation levels must address those with higher cultivation levels as seniors.

Xu Jingtian simply gave the man in blue a wink and said calmly, "It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look; it'll broaden our horizons!"

Wen Xiaoyan quickly said, "Please wait a moment, senior. I'll be right back." After apologizing, she gave a few instructions to the other servants and then walked into the shop.

The servants hurriedly led Xu Jingtian and his companion into a secret room, then served them fragrant tea, instructing them to drink while they waited.

The second senior brother followed Wen Xiaoyan into the secret room. Xu Jingtian and the other man were drinking tea and were both a little surprised to see him.

Since gaining a connection with the prayer beads, Xu Jingtian's spiritual senses had become unusually sharp. Judging from his second senior brother's attire alone, the newcomer must be of high status, and his cultivation level must be at least the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining. Such cultivation would make him an elite disciple even in a major sect, so it was unexpected that the Wanhe Valley shops valued him so much.

Wen Xiaoyan hurriedly introduced them, saying, "This is our second senior brother Kong Xing from the Wanhe Valley Shop. He manages all the buying and selling of treasures." After saying her apologies, she quickly walked out.

Wen Xiaoyan hurriedly entered the inner secret room, where a young man with a thin face was sitting cross-legged, meditating and cultivating.

The young man looked up and saw Wen Xiaoyan's flustered appearance. A hint of displeasure appeared on his face. He said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wen Xiaoyan quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically, and said, "Second Senior Brother, two unidentified seniors have come to the shop and want to take a look at our treasures!"

"A treasure?" Upon hearing this, the second senior brother suddenly stood up and ordered her, "Let's go take a look!"

Kong Xing glanced at Xu Jingtian and the other man, and asked suspiciously, "Are you two looking to buy a magical artifact?" The woman from before couldn't see through Xu Jingtian's cultivation level, but he could tell at a glance that he was probably on par with him, while the other man only seemed to be at the second level of Qi Refining.

When Kong Xing heard that someone had come to buy a treasure, he thought it was a senior in the Core Formation stage, or at least the Foundation Establishment stage. But the two people in front of him surprised him greatly.

In Kong Xing's opinion, given Xu Jingtian's cultivation level, he might be a true disciple of some small sect. Since the sect lacks the ability to refine magical artifacts, he came here to buy a suitable one.

Xu Jingtian stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Not bad!"

Kong Xing cautiously replied, "A precious artifact like this is quite expensive; I wonder if the two of you can afford it?"

Xu Jingtian said casually, "Please, Second Senior Brother, name a number."

Kong Xing proudly declared, "Each treasure requires at least ten Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills!" He then glanced at Xu Jingtian and the other man's expressions before continuing, "Of course, the treasures sold in our Wanhe Valley shops are a bit pricey, but they are all genuine magical artifacts. If you two purchase them, they will definitely be worth the money. How about we go take a look?"

"Ten Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills?" The man in blue finally couldn't sit still any longer.

One Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill can be exchanged for ten Spirit-Solidifying and Mind-Condensing Pills. Ten Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills are equivalent to one hundred Spirit-Solidifying and Mind-Condensing Pills. Moreover, Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills are far more valuable than Spirit-Solidifying and Mind-Condensing Pills, and are often in short supply. One hundred Spirit-Solidifying and Mind-Condensing Pills are usually not enough to exchange for ten Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills.

For ordinary independent cultivators, pills are usually not enough for their daily cultivation, let alone extra pills to buy other things. Even a true disciple of a small sect couldn't produce that many pills all at once, unless he kept them unused and accumulated them over two or three years to gather enough.

"So, what do you think? I told you we shouldn't bother looking at this treasure, right?" Kong Xing looked at the two of them with a hint of mockery.

Kong Xing's words clearly showed that he looked down on them. If they couldn't afford the price, they wouldn't even be able to see it.

"Why not take a look? It's just ten Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills," Xu Jingtian said with a cold smile. "I'd like to see if your treasure is really worth ten Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills!"

In truth, Xu Jingtian knew best that he only possessed a third-tier ferocious beast, the Crimson Scale Rhinoceros horn, which could at most be exchanged for eight Five Elements Blood Condensation Pills. However, he couldn't allow Kong Xing to look down on him like that. Moreover, he also had a sharp blade obtained from the Three Saints of Soul Separation, which Daoist Cen Yang had described as a treasure. Therefore, he was even more eager to see the real treasure and compare it to his own blade.

Kong Xing was secretly surprised, realizing that Xu Jingtian was the real big buyer. He then lowered his stance, extending his hand forward and saying with a forced smile, "Please follow me, both of you!"

After saying that, he led the two of them to the third floor of the shop, only to find that the huge shop only had a few magical artifacts on display.

Xu Jingtian glanced at each of the magical artifacts, frowned, and asked, "Is this all?"

Kong Xing hurriedly said, "No, that's not it. The ones placed here are all low-grade magic weapons that cost ten Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills each. There are one or two that are more expensive, but they are all kept in a secret room."

Xu Jingtian said, "Oh, then let us see it."

Kong Xing, however, said with some difficulty, "Taking a look wouldn't hurt, but the array formation in this secret chamber is too complicated, and I need to consult the two elders. Moreover, my master instructed that it should not be opened lightly unless absolutely necessary..."

Xu Jingtian snorted coldly, saying with some dissatisfaction, "I think you're just afraid we can't afford it, aren't you?"

Kong Xing panicked and hurriedly smiled apologetically, "Not at all, I'll go and ask someone to open the secret room right away." After saying that, he didn't move and remained standing there.

Xu Jingtian slightly curled his nose, took out the beast horn, casually tossed it to Kong Xing, and said indifferently, "I wonder if this material is good enough!"

Kong Xing hurriedly accepted the materials with both hands, immediately realizing their value. He instructed his subordinates, "Go! Quickly fetch the accountant!"
