Chapter 1071: Further Purchases

In Luodu Immortal City, at the Gathering Immortal Pavilion.

This place had become a regular meeting point for the Seven Ultimate Meeting, and a group returning from Fulong Mountain was discussing matters here.

Master Sun, having fully recovered, quickly took out dozens of bottles of elixirs from his Xumi Ring.

He distributed them to Huangfu Yongchun, Wang Chen, and three others.

Master Sun was skilled in alchemy and had deep knowledge of the Dao of Elixirs. The elixirs he brought out were naturally to repay the true masters who had saved his life.

Healing Pills, Yuan Cultivating Pills, Soul Calming Pills…

All of them were third-grade elixirs!

Huangfu Yongchun and the others naturally accepted them with smiles.

Although the Seven Ultimate Meeting shared a bond of kinship and mutual assistance, this small group didn’t have strict organization or rules. Helping each other in times of danger was a matter of sentiment, while ignoring others’ plights was also understandable.

As the rescued party, if Master Sun did not offer something in return, no one would say anything, but surely hearts would feel cold.

In the future, who would still be willing to lend a hand in similar situations?

Master Sun was wise in his actions, leading to everyone’s joy!

In addition to gifting elixirs, this mid-level Golden Core also ordered an array of exquisite dishes to treat everyone.

When Wang Chen saw the maid bringing drinks, he immediately said, “Remove the wine; bring me an empty vessel instead.”

Then, under the curious gazes of everyone, he took out two large wine gourds from his Xumi Ring, smiling as he said, “Recently, I obtained some Monkey Wine from Fulong Mountain, and it’s just right to share with you, fellow travelers.”

Originally, Wang Chen had intended to sell the spiritual wine for spirit stones, but after acquiring a treasure from a predecessor, a Seven Void Ring had covered his debts and even provided some surplus, so he decided not to part with this batch of Monkey Wine.

He uncorked the wooden stopper, and a rich fragrance of fruit wine instantly erupted, filling the entire room.

“Good wine!”

Master Shen, a connoisseur of fine wines, immediately brightened up with sparkling eyes, looking very eager: “Wang, your luck is incredible! How much of this Monkey Wine do you have left? Can you sell me some?”

Wang Chen laughed heartily: “Let’s drink first before we talk.”

He generously handed Master Shen one wine gourd and poured for Huangfu Yongchun and the others beside him.

This spiritual wine, meticulously brewed by Fire-Eyed Long Apes, was of high quality and contained threads of natural spiritual resonance, making it a rare delight for all the Golden Core true masters.

After drinking a cup, Master Sun’s face flushed nicely, and he sighed, “I should have been the one treating; I never expected to benefit from Wang’s generosity. How embarrassing!”

Everyone couldn’t help but smile.

The feast was thoroughly enjoyed. If not for Master Sun needing to return to rest due to his injuries, they would likely have continued drinking late into the night.

As they parted, Wang Chen gifted each true master a gourd of Monkey Wine.

He didn’t ask for spirit stones.

In the days that followed, Wang Chen stayed home, diligently practicing his cultivation, aiming to reach the eighth level of Golden Core.

A month later, he received a message from the Four Seas Trading Association.

All of Wang Chen’s previous orders had been delivered!

He immediately rushed to the Four Seas Trading Association and obtained the batch of invaluable weapon refining materials from Manager Chen.

Then, Wang Chen placed a new order with him.

Manager Chen was stunned: “You want the third-grade Fire Attribute heavenly fire of metal, wood, water, and earth?”

Previously, Wang Chen had purchased third-grade Fire Attribute heavenly fire from him, and among the five elements of heavenly fire, Fire Attribute heavenly fire was the cheapest, costing at least one thousand Upper Spirits.

As for the other four types of heavenly fire, the total would amount to a minimum of twelve thousand Upper Spirits!

Moreover, heavenly fire was rare. Even with the resources of the Four Seas Trading Association, gathering all four types would take at least a year or more.

“Exactly!”

Wang Chen said in a deep voice, “Manager Chen, this time I won’t bargain with you, but you must gather all four types of heavenly fire for me within three months!”

His sudden decision to purchase the four types of heavenly fire was entirely due to the advice of the Little Cauldron.

The Cauldron Spirit had told Wang Chen that to forge the perfect Seven Ultimate Sword, it was best to collect five kinds of third-grade heavenly fire and then use the Life Creation Cauldron to fuse them into fourth-grade five elemental fire.

By forging the Seven Ultimate Sword with fourth-grade five elemental fire, not only would the process be more efficient, but there was also a high probability of simultaneously crafting seven top-tier Treasure Flying Swords!

Wang Chen was immediately intrigued.

The Seven Ultimate Sword Formation could rival the Yuan Ying stage, and the quality of the flying swords was crucial, as it greatly determined the destructive power of the formation, directly affecting his combat strength.

Moreover, possessing fourth-grade five elemental fire would allow Wang Chen to refine spiritual treasures with the Life Creation Cauldron in the future. Though the investment was staggering, it was undoubtedly worth far more than its cost!

That was why he made this decision.

Even though Wang Chen currently held only a few hundred Upper Spirits!

“This…”

Manager Chen’s aged face wrinkled as he put on a pained expression, pondering for a long while before finally nodding and saying, “Alright, I will do my best to gather all four types of heavenly fire within three months. However, according to the rules, you must pay a thirty percent deposit.”

“The deposit is no issue!”

Wang Chen replied without hesitation, “I will return in ten days to sign the magical contract, so please be prepared, Manager.”

A transaction worth twelve thousand Upper Spirits was considered a significant deal even for the Four Seas Trading Association.

Manager Chen nodded: “Understood.”

Wang Chen then took his leave.

Although he couldn’t provide the deposit at the moment, there was still a way.

He planned to venture back into Fulong Mountain to search for caves left behind by ancient practitioners!

During the battle to rescue Master Sun, Wang Chen had not only defeated his opponent but also claimed a Golden Core head.

This caused his previously depleted Heavenly Merit points to surge by one hundred and fifty thousand.

He had left this Heavenly Merit untouched, intending to burn it all after entering the mountain to enhance his luck.

Given his previous success, Wang Chen was confident that he could achieve his goals once again!

Time flew by, and ten days later,

Wang Chen returned to the Luodu branch of the Four Seas Trading Association.

Upon meeting Manager Chen, he wasted no time and directly presented a dark golden Xiao Zhong before him.

Seeing the ancient bell adorned with countless talismans, Manager Chen’s expression changed instantly.

He promptly invited Wang Chen to a private room on the third floor and summoned an elderly cultivator with white hair.

This old cultivator was also at the Golden Core cultivation level, though he appeared to be nearing the end of his life, exuding a heavy aura of decline.

However, upon seeing the Xiao Zhong presented by Wang Chen, his eyes immediately gleamed with an intense light!

Manager Chen respectfully said, “Master Zhu, I’m unable to fully discern the details of this bell, so I need your expertise to appraise it.”

The old cultivator reached out and took the Xiao Zhong into his hands, closing his eyes as he ran his fingertips over the bell’s surface for a long time.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he finally spoke: “Yue Mountain Bell, a mid-tier fourth-grade spiritual treasure…”

It was clear that this was an appraisal master employed by the Four Seas Trading Association, and he thoroughly explained the origin and function of the Xiao Zhong brought by Wang Chen, including any existing flaws.

Once Master Zhu finished the appraisal, Manager Chen took a deep breath and asked, “Master Wang, how would you like to proceed with the exchange?”
