Chapter 810: Chapter 719: Magical Duel_2
’My fishing skills should have improved a bit as well.’
With a single hand gesture, he executed "Self-transforming Demon Skills" from his repertoire of changes, transforming into a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows, exuding the aura of the latter stages of the Transcendent God Phase as he flew towards Heavenly Brahman City.
Winter Spring Business Group.
This merchant association was located in Heavenly Brahman City and even occupied a large area on the expensive commercial street, obviously backed by a Cultivator in the Returning to Emptiness phase.
It aggressively purchased all kinds of exotic flora and fauna, materials from wild beasts... and shipped them off to the territories of the human race at fixed intervals for sale, gaining high profits.
Fang Xi entered the business group nonchalantly. Sensing the fluctuations of his Transcendent God Phase Magic Power, the attendants trembled and made way, some even bowed their heads in salute.
A Cultivator in the late stages of Core Formation flew out, "Senior, may I ask what brings you to the Winter Spring Business Group?"
"Naturally, I’ve come to do business."
Fang Xi sat down carelessly in the Rosewood Spiritual Chair in the living room, "I need Primordial Chaos Beast meat, and also Special Spiritual Roots..."
"Yes, honored guest, please wait a moment..."
The Cultivator in the late stages of Core Formation immediately bowed and retreated, his heart jolting, ’Although his face and aura are different, he also purchases Primordial Chaos Beast meat and high-grade Spirit Plants...’
He even dared not send a message, under the surveillance of Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness, and honestly instructed the maids to prepare Spiritual Tea, while he himself took a jade slip into the living room, "Senior, this is the current directory of Monster Beast meat and Spirit Plants in the business group, please have a look!"
Fang Xi smiled as he watched the man reverently present the jade slip.
His Divine Consciousness was always on the man, aware that while he seemed not to have done anything, he had already relayed information through the coded language used to instruct the maids servicing tea...
’If I can’t catch fish using bait, I’ll just have to force it...’
’Is it because I’ve been spending too much Immortal Jade lately that I’ve finally attracted the greed of a Returning to Emptiness Cultivator?’
Fang Xi took the jade slip and scanned the directory with his Divine Consciousness, only to put it down with some disappointment, "Package all the Primordial Chaos Beast meat for me, and send over that ’Nine Change Butterfly Orchid’ as well."
"Yes!"
The Cultivator immediately went to prepare it.
Before long, a Transcendent God Phase Cultivator entered. This person had white hair like feathers and a youthful face, dressed in a large crane feather cloak. Upon seeing Fang Xi, his eyes lit up and he greeted him with clasped hands, "I am Spirit Crane and I’m honored to meet Sir!"
"Cut the nonsense, where are the goods?"
Fang Xi showed a hint of impatience.
The Prime Taoist Spirit Crane hurriedly passed over a Storage Bag, and as Fang Xi received it, he saw heaps of Primordial Monster Beast meat and a Spirit Orchid whose leaves resembled butterfly wings, morphing beautifully and captivatingly.
"Not bad, indeed it’s a sixth-grade Spirit Plant."
Fang Xi nodded.
After some haggling with Spirit Crane, he handed over the Immortal Jade and left in a hurry.
"Old Ancestor..."
The Cultivator in Core Formation had been standing to the side like a page boy, only now speaking up.
"Wait a bit..."
Spirit Crane formed a seal with one hand and a token appeared, activating the prohibition in the hall before saying, "You’ve done well... I will naturally have a reward for you."
"Thank you, Old Ancestor."
A look of joy instantly appeared on the Core Formation Cultivator’s face, and after bowing deeply in gratitude, he took his leave.
Spirit Crane remained still, waiting a moment longer.
Suddenly, a Jade Pen Scholar emerged from the void.
"Honorable Master!"
Spirit Crane bowed at once.
"Has he appeared again?"
The Jade Pen Scholar watched Fang Xi’s retreating back, a strange light playing across his face.
As the leader of the Winter Spring Business Group, he was very attentive to the prices of wild beast meat and various Spiritual Objects in Heavenly Brahman City.
In recent centuries, he had noticed that although the price of wild beast meat was diving, at certain stages there would always be a support point, cleary someone was taking the opportunity to buy in large quantities!
While the influence of one person isn’t much, collectively, it made him interested in the force hidden behind the scenes.
After all, in his investigation, he found that several other Cultivators making large purchases were also somewhat suspicious.
It seemed as though their behaviors could all be linked together.
If it could be confirmed they were indeed the acts of the same person, it would be a fortune tempting enough to move a Returning to Emptiness Cultivator.
"You don’t have to concern yourself with this matter anymore."
The Jade Pen Scholar instructed before his figure disappeared in an instant.
A moment later, atop the city walls of Heavenly Brahman City.
He silently watched the distant skies, a hint of a smile on his face, "Indeed... Previously, this person managed to break my ’Ink Marking,’ but I didn’t temper with this ’Nine Change Butterfly Orchid’... all I did was raise a group of ’Mesmer butterflies’ that can chase the fragrance of the orchid over hundreds of thousands of miles..."
"Cough cough... Sir Jade, are you sure you want to make a move?"
Just then, a cough sounded.
Accompanying the cough, an old crone with crane-like hair and chicken skin appeared next to the Jade Pen Scholar.
The old crone was short and stocky, leaning on a black wooden cane, her steps faltering.
It was evident that she too was a Cultivator with limited days left.
"Of course... Ning Sir, don’t you want to accumulate a little more foundation for your family?"
The Jade Pen Scholar said with a smile.
"Cough cough... I don’t care for a few more pieces of Immortal Jade, as long as Sir Jade keeps his promise to assist my descendants for five hundred years..."
The crone surnamed Ning coughed as she spoke.
"Of course, after all, we have signed the Immortal Spiritual Document, I will not go back on my word..."
The Jade Pen Scholar spoke, "Moreover, this time besides Sir Ning, I have also invited ’Old Demon Ji’... With the three of us working together, we will surely succeed without fail."
