Xiao Chen asked with some anticipation.
Zi Ying smiled apologetically and said, "I don't think so. True Dragons are hard to find and nearly extinct. Naturally, a True Dragon's soul is even harder to find. However, I will ask around."
"It's fine." Xiao Chen waved his hand. He was just asking casually. If there was, it would be a pleasant surprise. If there was none, there was no need to be upset.
The two started to discuss the contract. Xiao Chen took out the contract that Zi Ying made and took a look. There were no loopholes in it, so he signed it and handed the ten million Black Astral Coins to the other party.
Zi Ying rejoiced. With this deal of ten million Black Astral Coins, the Nine Cauldron Pavilion would not have to worry about business for half a year.
Zi Ying put away the contract and the Black Astral Coins and took the opportunity to ask, "I heard from Young Master Mo that you still have a batch of treasures to sell. How about we settle them together?"
"Don't worry. As long as the Nine Cauldron Pavilion can help me settle this within one day, I will definitely hand the treasures I want to sell to your merchant association."
Naturally, Xiao Chen was not stupid. He had to use something to pressure the other party. Otherwise, if the other party could not do it within one day, he would not be able to deal with it.
Zi Ying smiled and took her leave. Before she left, she called over two pretty girls with voluptuous figures to serve Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and got the two maidservants to wait outside, waiting for his instructions.
Deep into the night, Xiao Chen drew his Lunar Shadow Saber in a cultivation room in the courtyard for honored guests. He calmly executed the Flawless Saber Technique, trying to infuse the will of ice into the Four Season Saber Technique's Winter Saber.
Logically speaking, Xiao Chen should not be so calm. On the way to the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market, he had consumed and refined a Longevity Fruit in his hand.
As he expected, the Longevity Fruit only increased his natural lifespan and not his physiological lifespan. It would not be of any help to his current situation.
Right now, if the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art was not effective, ten years would not be laughable at all.
Xiao Chen had not reached the peak yet, had not reestablished the Dragon's Gate, had not seen everything in this world, and still had many regrets. How could ten years be enough?
"It looks like it will work."
In the vast underground cultivation room, Xiao Chen revealed a joyful smile as he watched the destructive power of the first fusion of the Winter Saber and the will of ice.
He had always been like this. No matter how many regrets he had, he only had ten years to live. He just had to face it calmly.
Life still had to go on. There was no need to bemoan the state of the universe and pity the fate of mankind. There was no need to be depressed and regretful.
In these 12 years, he had walked many paths, met many people, and made countless choices. He had never regretted any of his choices.
There was no other reason. As long as he knew what he wanted, there was no need to be so conflicted.
Dressed in white, Xiao Chen was even colder than the snow. His saber was cold, he was cold, but his heart was not cold. He was sharp and hot-blooded.
As Xiao Chen's mental state improved, the Great Perfection saber soul in the will of thunder in his sea of consciousness became increasingly dense. It seemed like it would make another breakthrough soon.
Xiao Chen casually stabbed his saber into the ground. Then, he started practicing his Palm Technique, Thousand Year Flame, amid the heavy snow.
This move was Xiao Chen's original creation. When he sent out his palm strike, it showed sorrow and joy, parting and reunions, expressing lofty sentiments and hot-bloodedness.
He could spread out his comprehensions, his lifetime's lofty sentiments, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy with one palm strike.
This Palm Technique could still evolve in many different ways. Joy, anger, sorrow, joy, parting, and reunions. There should be many more ways.
For example, at this moment, Xiao Chen thought of parting and the ten-year sorrow. As grief spread through his palm, his Palm Technique clearly deviated from the initial hot-bloodedness, tyranny, and berserk destruction of the Thousand Year Flame.
In its place was a boundless melancholy of parting. A faint grief lingered in Xiao Chen's heart, flowing into his every move. The fluttering of his clothes and hair seemed to speak of melancholy.
The Cycle Banner, which was connected to Xiao Chen's mind, suddenly unfurled in the Universe Ring. The Astral Pearl refined by the Grief Throne shone brightly.
The snowflakes were no longer there. Thousands upon thousands of blood-red Remnant Flowers drifted in the air.
The Remnant Flowers were like blood, filled with grief.
A scarlet moon rose up behind Xiao Chen, filling his eyes with a red light. Grief filled everything he saw.
Time was like a river, gushing endlessly. There was a moon by the riverside, and a lone boat moved along the river, treading on the moon.
Time flowed by. Ten thousand years passed. The people on the boat lived and died, changing again and again. Only the moon reigned supreme, only the moon existed.
Who saw the moon for the first time by the riverside? When did the moon at the riverside first shine on people? Generations passed by endlessly. The moon at the riverside remained the same every year.
Under the illumination of the scarlet moonlight, Xiao Chen's white robes looked very eye-catching among the thousands of scarlet Remnant Flowers, showing a different kind of grief.
Thousand Year Death, I have a palm strike that speaks only of sorrow, not joy!
With this palm strike, Xiao Chen scattered all his grief and melancholy. He felt carefree and carefree, sweeping away all the knots in his heart.
The grief on Xiao Chen's body vanished. There seemed to be boundless hope in the faint flowing light, creating all life.
Without a sound, even the dust that was tiny to the point it couldn't be seen with the naked eye within the underground cultivation room was transformed into nothingness by this palm strike.
The scarlet moonlight vanished, and the withered Remnant Flowers disappeared. The underground cultivation room was silent and empty, and the air was unprecedentedly fresh.
"This move shall be called Thousand Year Death."
Xiao Chen withdrew his hand and sheathed the saber he stabbed into the ground. Then, he walked out of the cultivation room with a trace of calmness.
No matter how much grief or melancholy one felt, they should not remain in one's heart for long. After the grief passed, there would still be a bright sunny day. Otherwise, one would fall into the Demonic Dao, blaming heaven and others, walking to the extremes.
The instant Xiao Chen turned around and left the cultivation room, he did not notice that thousands of flowers silently bloomed in the cultivation room. The Remnant Flowers lost their scarlet color and turned green, spreading everywhere.
When the morning sun rose, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and rested for a while. Then, Zi Ying appeared before Xiao Chen with a smile on her face.
"Young Master Mo, I have already used up all ten million Black Astral Coins. I have collected a total of one hundred King Grade Secret Treasures and one thousand Sage Grade Secret Treasures for you. Furthermore, I heard that there will be an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure with a dragon soul being auctioned during the Ten Thousand Treasure Festival. Unfortunately, it is damaged. "
Xiao Chen received the spatial ring that Zi Ying handed over. Then, he scanned it with his Spiritual Sense and found that the other party was right. He smiled faintly and said, "Damaged? That suits me. What's the price? I want to buy it at once. "
Zi Ying felt somewhat surprised. She did not know why Xiao Chen cared so much about a Secret Treasure with a dragon soul, not even letting go of a damaged one.
"Two million Black Astral Coins is simply too high. I have seen that Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. Aside from the dragon soul, it is already damaged beyond recognition."
As long as the dragon soul was still there, it was fine. Two million Black Astral Coins was not a high price.
An idea formed in Xiao Chen's mind. He smiled and said, "The Nine Cauldron Pavilion is indeed very efficient. They managed to settle everything in one night. It looks like I have to give my goods to Miss Zi Ying."
Zi Ying felt anticipation in her heart. She had mobilized the entire Nine Cauldron Pavilion in Ten Thousand Treasure City just to see what goods Xiao Chen would take out. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Xiao Chen placed nine jade strips on the table. Then, he smiled gently at Zi Ying and gestured for her to take a seat.
Zi Ying picked up a jade strip doubtfully and sent in her Mental Energy. In merely a moment, her expression changed drastically.
She quickly put down this jade strip and checked the other eight jade strips.
Zi Ying was completely stunned. The nine jade strips actually all contained Profound Martial Techniques. This completely surpassed her imagination.
Aside from the Thousand Frost Battle Snow, which Xiao Chen cultivated, he took out all ten jade strips containing Profound Martial Techniques.
Profound Martial Techniques were existences that surpassed Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques. Regular cultivators would not even have heard of them. They would only appear in the top auctions.
The number of Profound Martial Techniques was an important factor that attracted the peak geniuses.
Of course, Xiao Chen had copied the Profound Martial Techniques in these nine jade strips. He had copies of them, which he could pass on to others on Heavenly Star Island.
It looked like the buyer was at a disadvantage. However, if one did not buy them, many people would fight over them. This was a scarce strategic resource. No matter which sect it was, they would never complain about having more Profound Martial Techniques.
The moment they appeared in an auction, they would immediately fetch sky-high prices. There was always a demand but no supply.
Zi Ying's voice trembled somewhat as she asked uncertainly, "Young Master Mo, are you selling all nine Inferior Grade Profound Martial Techniques together?"
"Ha ha! If we are not selling them together, why should I take them out?" Xiao Chen smiled. Isn't this nonsense?
Zi Ying's expression flickered as if she was making a decision. After a while, she said, "Young Master Mo, the rarer something is, the more valuable it is. When there are many of them, they will not fetch a high price.
"If you auction all these Inferior Grade Profound Martial Techniques together, you will not be able to get the highest price. I have a suggestion. I wonder if Young Master Mo will consider it?"
The other party was right. If nine Profound Martial Techniques appeared at the auction at once, the price would definitely be lower.
If there was only one, it might fetch four or five times the market price, reaching three million Black Astral Coins.
Xiao Chen did not know what Zi Ying's suggestion was. His expression did not change as he gestured for her to continue.
"I think my Nine Cauldron Merchant Association should buy these nine jade strips at a fixed price and not sell them during this Ten Thousand Treasure Festival. There are even larger sea fairs and auctions in Bright Moon City that our Nine Cauldron Merchant Association can handle. "
Not going through an auction meant that he would not have to wait for a long time. He could immediately obtain Black Astral Coins from the Nine Cauldron Merchant Association. This was not bad.
"What price is the Nine Cauldron Merchant Association willing to pay?"
"The market price of an Inferior Grade Profound Martial Technique is one million Black Astral Coins. However, everyone knows that it is impossible to buy at this price. The Nine Cauldron Merchant Association is willing to pay three times the market price to buy all of them. "
Zi Ying smiled faintly and offered a price that Xiao Chen could not resist.
A single Profound Martial Technique might fetch a sky-high price of four million Black Astral Coins. However, if nine appeared in a row, the price would definitely not be that high.
Given this, Xiao Chen would not lose out at all. Furthermore, he would not have to wait to obtain Black Astral Coins.
"Deal!"
Zi Ying rejoiced in her heart. She said, "Good. Young Master Mo, please wait for one day. I will have to ask my father about such a large sum of Black Astral Coins. Of course, don't worry. There will definitely not be any problems. I will give that damaged Emperor Grade Secret Treasure with a dragon soul to Young Master Mo as a gift. "
As Xiao Chen watched Zi Ying disappear, Ao Jiao said from the Immortal Spirit Ring, This Nine Cauldron Merchant Association is rather bold. It is a loss to buy them at such a price in the Ten Thousand Treasure Festival. However, they will definitely make a huge profit in Bright Moon City.
Xiao Chen smiled. The price of the nine jade strips somewhat surpassed his expectations. Including the gift, they sold for a total of thirty million Black Astral Coins.
