Chapter 296: I’m Asking You If You Want It (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“…” Xie Tianxing was silent for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he bowed respectfully and apologized to Pei Qingshu. “Sect Master Pei, I was rude and wasn’t strict in controlling my men. Please forgive me.”
This scene stunned the few Limitless Golden Immortals behind him.
They all looked at him in shock.
The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Xie Tianxing, was famous for being arrogant.
Now, he actually bowed down to a Limitless Golden Immortal.
It was simply unbelievable!
However, on careful thought, it was very likely that there was a big shot hidden behind this Limitless Golden Immortal. Otherwise, it was impossible for Xie Tianxing to do such a thing.
“Haha, there’s no need to be like this.” Pei Qingshu waved his hand when he saw this and said with a smile, “How about this? Since Sect Master Xie has already repented, I’ll cut your price a little. Three times the original price will do, just like Family Head Sun’s.”
“Thank you, Sect Master Pei.” Xie Tianxing cupped his hands and thanked him. A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on his face. “May I ask, Sect Master Pei, what’s the price of this Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill?”
“Three Sage Armaments can be exchanged for one Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill.” Pei Qingshu smiled and said, “If the Sage Armaments are not enough, you can use natural treasures and ancient books to exchange.
30 Sage-level natural treasures can be counted as one Sage Armament. A thousand books that don’t repeat, and also record the details of historical events can also be counted as a Sage Armament.
Of course, this is only the standard price. Sect Master Xie, Patriarch Sun, your first Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill has to be tripled, which is nine Sage Armaments.”
Hiss! Hiss!
......
Xie Tianxing and Sun Luping could not help but gasp.
The Limitless Golden Immortals behind them almost fainted from shock, and their faces turned incomparably pale.
Just because they asked one question, they made their Sect Master and Family Head pay six more Sage Armaments.
They deserved to die!
Shi Yao originally had a relaxed expression as if she was watching a show. When she heard this price, she could not help but raise her eyebrows.
Nine Sage Armaments?
The Ten Thousand Sword Sect and the Sun Family did not even have nine Sage Armaments.
Sage Armaments were extremely rare.
Crafting one needed at least 20 Sage-level natural treasures as materials and the power of a Sage to painstakingly forge for more than 3,000 years before the embryo of a Sage Armament could be forged.
Next, they had to nourish this artifact embryo for tens of thousands of years before it had a 30% chance of becoming a completed Sage Armament.
The cost was too high.
The Ten Thousand Sword Sect had been passed down for more than 20,000 years and had produced three Sages. To this day, they only had two Sage Armaments .
And this was only because they had been lucky enough to successfully nurture two out of four weapon embryos.
The Sun Family was in an even worse state.
Their legacy had been passed down for more than 30,000 years, and four Sages had appeared. However, they only have one Sage Armament right now.
However, for the Myriad Saint Pavilion, which had a deep foundation, it was not difficult to take out three Sage Armaments.
Even if they had to take out a few more, it was not impossible.
Hence, Shi Yao’s eyes flickered as she smiled charmingly and said to Pei Qingshu, “Sect Master Pei, I’ll offer three Sage Armaments to buy one Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill from you. However, I don’t have enough on hand.
I came here to exchange for something from the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect, so I only brought a Sage Armament and some natural treasures. I didn’t bring many ancient books.
Can I pay 30 Sage-level natural treasures and a Sage Armament first? I’ll pay the remaining amount with 1,000 ancient books after I return to the sect to retrieve them.”
“Sure.” Pei Qingshu nodded and smiled. “Li Cheng, give her a Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill.”
“Alright!” Li Cheng nodded and smiled. At the same time, he shook the jade bottle gently. Immediately, a golden pill flew out and floated in front of Shi Yao.
The aura of all techniques and Dao gathering into one filled the void, and the dense medicinal fragrance refreshed the mind.
It was impossible to tell that this was an ordinary grain of sand.
At this moment, the six Limitless Golden Immortals were already intoxicated by the medicinal fragrance. Even the three Sages could not help but exclaim in their hearts.
They actually felt that the aura emitted by this pill was even more perfect than their own cultivation.
It was as if they had cultivated for thousands of years and were inferior to a pill.
This feeling was too strange.
Shi Yao happily held the Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill in her hand. After sensing it carefully, she could not help but sigh. “It’s indeed an Immortal pill and divine medicine!”
Then, she called over a Limitless Golden Immortal she had brought over and handed over the Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill. “Sui’er, you’ve been in the Limitless Golden Immortal realm for 3,000 years. Give it a try.”
At this moment, everyone’s gazes were focused on the Limitless Golden Immortal called Sui’er.
“Thank you, Master!” Sui’er knelt on the ground. After bowing and thanking her, she swallowed the Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill.
Then—
Buzz!
The void trembled, and endless golden light suddenly erupted from Sui’er’s body. An aura that completely surpassed that of a Limitless Golden Immortal swept out.
At the same time, the weather in the world changed. Countless lights of different colors appeared out of thin air, and the scene of myriad techniques resonating appeared.
“Sage Phenomenon!”
“She really became a Sage!”
“Oh my god, she really became a Sage immediately!”
Exclamations rose and fell.
Xie Tianxing and Sun Luping looked up at the phenomenon in the sky in extreme shock, their hearts incomparably complicated.
This Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill was real!
The Dao Validation phenomenon had already appeared. It couldn’t be more real!
“Three times the price, three times the price…”
Xie Tianxing was filled with regret. He wished he could beat the two people he had brought to death on the spot.
He still yearned for the Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill.
After all, although Sage Armaments were precious and rare, and they could also unleash extremely powerful might in the hands of Sages, once the sect no longer had a Sage guarding it, the Sage Armament might become a source of trouble.
In comparison, having a ready-made Sage would ensure that the sect’s inheritance would not end.
Moreover, an additional Sage Armament would at most allow the sect to have a deeper foundation. However, if they could directly obtain another Sage, it would be enough to allow the sect to develop from a stable state to a strong one.
“I have to buy at least one Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill!” Xie Tianxing thought to himself. “Fortunately, it can be converted from ancient books. This is not too precious. There are many ancient books about the survival of my Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
Even if there are limited ancient books that recorded history, there should be more than 10,000 of them. It’s enough to buy one. Moreover, a Sage Armament is enough to exchange for countless books. I can still do it.
But I have to be fast and decisive. Otherwise, someone else will beat me to it. The ancient books can’t be repeated. If I fall behind…”
“Sect Master Pei, I happened to bring 12,000 ancient books.” At this moment, Sun Luping suddenly said, “I plan to use 9,000 of them to buy an Immortal pill.”
“…” Xie Tianxing was stunned on the spot and hurriedly said, “Me, me too. Sect Master Pei, I also want to use 9,000 ancient books to buy an Immortal pill.”
“Alright, no problem.” Pei Qingshu nodded and smiled. “However, the ancient books might repeat themselves, or it might not be what we want. I want to explain the rules clearly.
In terms of numbers, we’ll collect 9,000 books first. If we find any books we don’t need, we’ll look for you again to make up the difference. In addition, if the books provided by the latecomers repeat the previous ones, we won’t want them. You have to make up the difference.”
“That’s natural.” Sun Luping nodded repeatedly. He could not help but feel a little glad that he had moved quickly and snatched the initiative. Otherwise, he might have suffered a lot.
“…” Xie Tianxing looked like he had eaten a fly. He wished he could slap himself. Why was he thinking so much? He should have just bought it!
“By the way.” Pei Qingshu smiled again and said, “If the three of you still want to buy more Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill and don’t have enough treasures on hand, we can even provide loan services.
The Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect has a long history and a deep foundation. There are ten Sage Armaments alone. Coupled with Pavilion Master Shi’s one, we have 11 Sage Armaments. Other than that, there are also many Sage-level natural treasures.
“You can apply to loan a Sage Armament or natural treasures from us at any time to buy the Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill. However, since it’s a loan, there has to be interest and a repayment period.
We’ll set the repayment period at 300 years. I’ll give you a discount. If you want to borrow three Sage Armaments, you only need to return four after 300 years.
How is it?”
There was dead silence.
An additional Sage Armament every 300 years. Who could pay for this?
Unless they went and robbed someone.
Shi Yao couldn’t help but swallow. “Can we repay it in other ways?”
