Chapter 824: Chapter 725: Mid-Stage of Returning to Emptiness_4
With the changes of the Sky Demon Secret Skills and the cover of the Turtle Breath Skills, even an Integration early-stage cultivator might not be able to detect any flaws.
Moreover...
Within Moon Invitation Immortal City, there is but a group of those in the Returning to Emptiness phase... and throughout the entire Star Domain, it’s likely that only the Star Sect has an Integration old ancestor. How easy could it be to run into one?
In Moon Invitation Immortal City, Fang Xi felt quite at ease fencing stolen goods.
There were several similar places, all strongholds of the more overbearing forces amongst those in the Returning to Emptiness phase, scattered throughout the 99 territories of the human race.
Because he displayed wealth and skills that were too tempting, there were those who wanted to bite off more than they could chew.
But as long as they were cultivators in the Returning to Emptiness phase, they were merely delivering Immortal Jade, and Fang Xi naturally accepted it all with a smile.
Moon Invitation Commerce Association’s VIP Hall.
This hall was located in the clouds, surrounded by white clouds on all sides, with tables and chairs made of jade.
As soon as one sat down, a gentle force would lift and support the entire body, making one feel extremely comfortable and at ease, even giving a sense of floating on the verge of becoming an immortal.
"Mr. Fu, long time no see."
Before long, a ray of light flew in, revealing a mid-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator.
He was of medium build, with a round face, smiling before speaking, and was the chief administrator of Moon Invitation Commerce Association, "Ah, seeing Mr. Fu, my heart feels both joy and nervousness..."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Fang Xi slowly sipped the immortal tea and asked with a smile.
"The joy, of course, is because when Mr. Fu takes action, there must be good stuff... the nervousness is that the Commerce Association’s reserves of Immortal Jade are going to be emptied out again."
The chief administrator said with a worried frown.
Immortal Jade was a strategic resource for any force above the Returning to Emptiness phase, as it was non-renewable and greatly helped cultivators and treasure refining beyond those phases with their cultivation.
Although the magic power improvement provided was not as great as that of a true sixth-rank Spiritual Pill that increased magic power, and there was often much waste.
Yet, as long as one was willing and had enough Immortal Jade, the cultivation of those in the Returning to Emptiness phase could rapidly advance all the same.
Even for Fang Xi, Immortal Jade was a precious resource.
Because the growth of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm could also be catalyzed with Immortal Jade!
Of course, he had only tried it once, then decided against continuing with such an approach.
After all, with his long lifespan, the self-growth speed of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm exceeded the cultivation of many cultivators in the Returning to Emptiness phase, so such expenditure was unnecessary.
Recently, after breaking through to the mid-stage of Returning to Emptiness, the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm expanded once again and the daily production of Mother Qi of All Woods also increased.
By Fang Xi’s estimate, to reach the five thousand acres required for a late-stage Returning to Emptiness, it would likely only take two to three thousand years!
"Smooth talker..." Fang Xi laughed and scolded, "When has there ever been a deal where you didn’t make a profit? The scarcity of Immortal Jade is only temporary. Just transporting it to the outer regions for sale would earn it all back, wouldn’t it?"
"Yes, yes, we are also thankful for Mr. Fu’s favor..."
The chief administrator had a very good temperament toward a financial deity, lacking any of the ’cold-faced King of Hell’ demeanor typical within the Moon Invitation Commerce Association.
"Enough, this is the merchandise for this time."
Fang Xi flicked his sleeve, and three Small Void Transfer Talismans shimmering with silver light appeared on the tabletop.
Besides those, there was also a jade bottle, within which the phantom of a Wild Beast roared furiously at the sky.
"Small Void Transfer Talismans and Six Treasure Blood Pills?"
The chief administrator’s eyes brightened.
These two items were very attractive to cultivators in the Returning to Emptiness phase.
At the same time, he felt even more reverence for Mr. Fu.
Being a sixth-rank Talisman Master already made one stand out among those in the Returning to Emptiness phase, and if one was also a sixth-rank pill connoisseur... that would truly be genius amongst them!
Of course, it was also possible that this ’Mr. Fu’ had the support of a major force behind him, which nurtured a sixth-rank pill connoisseur.
Regardless, this all meant that Mr. Fu was not to be trifled with.
In fact, Moon Invitation Commerce Association had behaved well in the previous few transactions and had not pulled any tricks, which was one of the reasons Fang Xi chose to continue trading with them.
"Still the usual, valuing it in Immortal Jade?"
The chief administrator calculated the amount of Immortal Jade needed and felt a twinge of pain, "Mr. Fu, our Commerce Association recently acquired a batch of rare spiritual flowers and exotic grasses, would you like to take a look?"
"Hmm, bring them for me to see."
Fang Xi nonchalantly received the jade slip from the chief administrator’s hand and then designated a few items, "These will do, they can offset ten pieces of Immortal Jade..."
The chief administrator’s smile remained unchanged, "This ’Drunken Immortal Grass’ alone cost our Commerce Association innumerable efforts to obtain from the Immortal Mansion ruins, all together they are worth at least twenty Immortal Jade..."
