The World of Eight Cultivators was rich in resources. Just the ingredients alone were several hundred more than the Nine Netherworlds. The Nine Heavens was deliberately showing off, and many of the dishes were only heard of, but they appeared at the banquet tonight. It was really worth eating.
Chu Huoluo was having a great time eating. Shen Zhenyi's appetite for food was rather weak, so he only chose a few exquisite snacks to eat. Princess Long and De Fu kept introducing the familiar faces at the banquet to him.
"That one is the manager of the Treasure House in the capital. I heard that they come to the Nine Heavens every year to buy some priceless treasures, but they always come back empty-handed."
"That one with a long beard is the elder of the Spirit Stone Valley. They have the largest spirit blood stone mine in the World of Eight Cultivators and are our big customers … "
"That young one is the vice sect master of the North Blade Region. He probably wants to buy some weapons, so he came all the way here. They are really far away from here. "
The Nine Heavens trade fair was a grand affair, so almost all the eighteen divisions in the world came to participate. Of course, the three neighboring divisions had the most people, and the several tyrannical sects in the surroundings had almost all come.
"In the past, there weren't so many people, but this time, it's rumored that there's a Cynanchum Fritillary Leaf, so the nearby sects naturally won't let it go."
The people of the World of Eight Cultivators wouldn't use the Cynanchum Fritillary Leaf as thoroughly as Shen Zhenyi, but the leaf on the World Profound Tree had some natural characteristics that made it hard for people to give it up.
It could increase one's lifespan, ward off evil, block inner demons, prevent cultivation deviation, and cure hundreds of poisons. For martial artists, it was simply a perfect material.
The appearance of a Cynanchum Fritillary Leaf would definitely cause a bloody fight. In the history of the World of Eight Cultivators, the trade fair was the most peaceful. Everyone could buy it with their own financial resources, and it was better than using weapons.
As for whether they could smoothly return to their hometown after leaving the Nine Heavens with the Cynanchum Fritillary Leaf, that was another matter altogether.
Seeing that Shen Zhenyi was still very interested in the Alsophila Fritillary Leaf, Defu couldn't help but frown and persuade him, "Third Master, I know that you are skilled and bold. However, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. They were in someone else's territory, and they were still thousands of miles away from returning to the Abandoned Sword Villa. Even if you manage to get the Woodfern Fritillary Leaf, there will be other people along the way who can snatch it for you. Let's not waste our time, shall we? "
Shen Zhenyi smiled but declined to comment.
De Fu felt that there was a way, so he said, "Even if others don't fight for it, and everyone is well-behaved, with our financial resources, we can't afford this thing …"
They had transported a large amount of Spirit Blood Marrow, which was worth ten million taels of gold. This was an astronomical figure, but if they wanted to compete for the Fritillary Leaf, this amount was far from enough.
"In the past, the Shala Fritillary Leaf was sold at a price of several hundred thousand taels of purple gold. We still have a long way to go. "
Purple gold was obtained from the purification of gold. Ten thousand taels of gold was equivalent to one tael of purple gold. The market exchange rate was more or less the same. Tens of thousands of taels of purple gold were equivalent to several billion taels of gold. In the past, even the entire savings of the Nine Serenities Land couldn't reach this amount.
They only used it to exchange for a leaf.
"Oh?"
De Fu's words reminded Shen Zhenyi. He frowned, deep in thought. De Fu thought that he had persuaded Shen Zhenyi and was rejoicing. However, he saw Elder You from the Spirit Stones Valley, who they had just recognized, angrily squeeze in front of them.
"Third Young Master Shen, I heard that this time, you sold ten million Spirit Blood Stones to Nine Heavens? I don't understand. You don't have any mineral veins, so how can you sell it at a lower price than our Spirit Stones Valley? "
He was probably drunk and deliberately came to find trouble.
The Nine Heavens had always been a big client of the Spirit Stones Valley. When Elder You came to the Nine Heavens this time, he also felt that this Spirit Blood Stone business would definitely be successful. He would be able to earn more than ten million taels of gold, and he would be able to pocket quite a bit of it for himself.
Who knew that when he slowly arrived at Nine Heavens, they would tell him that the Spirit Blood Stones had already been bought. Moreover, they had bought ten million in one go and didn't need to restock for the time being. This angered Elder You.
However, at first, he didn't know who had stolen the business. When he met the Young Master of the Twelve Sword Towers, Shen Yizhou, he inadvertently revealed that the person who sold the Nine Heavens Spirit Blood Stones to them was someone from the Moon Decapitation Sect who had no foundation.
With such clear information, how could Elder You not make a fuss?
De Fu and the Spirit Stones Valley still wanted to do business, so he quickly smiled and said, "Elder You, business is business. We were just lucky that you sold it this time. The Spirit Stones Valley's output is so large, why bother about this … "
"It's none of your business!" Elder You spat at him and turned to glare at Shen Zhenyi. "The reason that the people from Nine Heavens gave me was that your Spirit Blood Stones were cheaper than the Spirit Stones Valley's. I don't understand this. Are you planning to lose money and block the Spirit Stones Valley's path to riches? Or have you found another cheap ore vein?"
These two questions of his were extremely penetrating.
If Shen Zhenyi was right and he was blocking the Spirit Stones Valley's path to riches, then of course they would fight without saying anything. Although the Spirit Stones Valley didn't have many high-end combat forces, because of its rich resources and large numbers, the Abandoned Sword Villa might not be able to withstand it.
If he admitted that he had obtained a cheap ore vein, then at least half of the people at this trade fair would target Shen Zhenyi. He didn't know if he could avoid the attacks from the open and covert on his way back.
His evil intentions were clear as day. Shen Zhenyi snorted and said, "Elder You's mouth is indeed poisonous, but it's a pity that I'm not blocking your path to riches, and I don't have a new ore vein. The reason why I sold it cheaply is because there's a word difference. "
"What word?" Seeing that the other party didn't take the bait, Elder You gritted his teeth.
"I'm selling Spirit Blood Marrow, and you're selling Spirit Blood Stones — there's a fundamental difference." Shen Zhenyi had already made up his mind and spoke calmly.
De Fu's heart skipped a beat. Third Master wouldn't … wouldn't he reveal everything, right? This money tree, he mustn't let him get away!
He was about to step forward and stop Shen Zhenyi from continuing to speak when he saw Elder You frown and push De Fu aside. He asked bitterly, "What's the difference? Don't you also need ten Spirit Blood Stones to get one Spirit Blood Marrow?"
The Spirit Blood Stones were tightly packed. If they weren't opened, it was impossible to know if there was Spirit Blood Marrow inside. Everyone could only guess.
This ratio was quite stable, and it had been maintained at around ten to one for many years.
Unless Shen Zhenyi had the ability to identify the Spirit Blood Marrow in the Spirit Stones, it was impossible for him to have any advantage. Elder You also felt that even if Shen Zhenyi had some secret method to examine the Spirit Blood Stones, he would never admit it.
"I can get one Spirit Blood Marrow with one Spirit Blood Stone."
Shen Zhenyi was calm and collected.
