This is really strange. Xiao Chen did not know that he had such great influence. Since that was the case, he would come back tomorrow. There was no need to worry about leaving the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron here.
However, there was another matter that could be settled now. Xiao Chen said, "It is settled, then. I still have some Demonic Cores with me. I wonder if Old Huang can help me appraise them and do some business?"
Old Huang smiled and said, "That is easy. Do you want to pawn them or sell them?"
"Sell them." After Xiao Chen spoke, he poured out three large piles of Demonic Cores from his Universe Ring. The largest pile was Rank 4 Demonic Cores, the smallest was Rank 5, and the smallest was Rank 6.
The smile on Old Huang's face immediately froze. He was speechless. This was the so-called Demonic Core. A rough count gave him more than three thousand Demonic Cores.
With such a large number, the Victorious Chief Pawnshop's annual business was probably only this much.
The waiter at the side was completely dumbfounded. He thought to himself, Fortunately, I did not say anything to offend this person. When he thought about how he had been prepared to mock this person, he felt that he was really lucky.
Xiao Chen said, "Old Huang, what's wrong? Is the number too large?"
Old Huang recovered his wits and sighed, "It's not large, not large at all. I will call the other appraisers. We will definitely give Young Master Ye a specific number within an hour."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "There is no rush. It does not matter if I wait a little longer."
After an hour, Old Huang walked over tiredly. He took out a stack of papers and said to Xiao Chen, "Young Master Ye, the attributes of every Demonic Core have been appraised. All of them have a specific price tag. Take a look and see if there is anything you would like to add."
Xiao Chen received the stack of papers and looked at them carefully. He discovered that it was indeed as Old Huang said.
Not only were the attributes of the Demonic Cores listed, even the corresponding Demonic Beasts were listed. Furthermore, the accuracy was almost one hundred percent. Every Demonic Core had a valuation. Furthermore, the reason for the valuation was stated in detail.
The appraiser of the Victorious Chief Pawnshop was not simple at all. This was an eye-opener for Xiao Chen, overturning some of Xiao Chen's original concepts.
For example, the Demonic Core of an Inferior Rank 4 Demonic Beast was valued even higher than a Superior Rank 5 Demonic Core. The reason was that the Heavenly Craft Manor had developed a new Spirit Weapon and was in urgent need of such Demonic Cores.
There were many similar cases. The value of a Demon Core was not simply determined by its rank. This gave Xiao Chen some inspiration.
Finally, Xiao Chen took a look at the total. All the Demonic Cores added together could be sold for 450,000 Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
When Xiao Chen saw the Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, he frowned slightly. Honestly speaking, he did not have much use for Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Right now, he could only use them as currency.
There was no use for ordinary cultivation. At most, it could be used to quickly recover Essence when one's Essence was slightly depleted. If Xiao Chen depleted too much, he could only use Medial Grade Spirit Stones. One Medial Grade Spirit Stone would not be enough.
When Old Huang saw that something was wrong with Xiao Chen's expression, he asked in a probing manner, "Young Master Ye, are you not satisfied with the price?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "No, 450,000 Inferior Grade Spirit Stones is already a very high price. However, I was wondering if I could exchange it for Medial Grade Spirit Stones."
When Old Huang heard this, he muttered in a low voice, "It is not impossible. However, Young Master Ye needs to think this through. Although Inferior Grade Spirit Stones are no longer of much help to cultivators above Medial Grade Martial Saint, they are still the basic currency of the continent.
There will not be any devaluation. "What Old Huang said was not wrong. The auctions held in Xihe City also used Inferior Grade Spirit Stones as the starting point.
There should not be any major changes in other places. Old Huang continued, "If you use Inferior Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for Medial Grade Spirit Stones, you will be at a great disadvantage. Young Master Ye should think this through carefully before making a decision."
Old Huang continued, "If you use Inferior Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for Medial Grade Spirit Stones, you will be at a great disadvantage. Young Master Ye should think this through carefully before making a decision."
At the auction in Xihe City, Xiao Chen had suffered such a disadvantage. For the sake of purchasing Secret Treasures, he had no choice but to use Medial Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
If he had prepared a sufficient amount of Inferior Grade Spirit Stones in advance, such a situation would not have happened.
However, Xiao Chen had an urgent need for Medial Grade Spirit Stones. He felt that they would be of great use in the future. Now that he had the opportunity, he had to exchange them for Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
Xiao Chen asked, "Name a number. How many Medial Grade Spirit Stones can these 450,000 Inferior Grade Spirit Stones be exchanged for?"
Old Huang replied straightforwardly, "At most three thousand. This is a discounted price on the account that you are acquainted with Miss Feng."
One Medial Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. If it was Inferior Grade Spirit Stones for Medial Grade Spirit Stones, or 200 Inferior Grade Spirit Stones for one Medial Grade Spirit Stone, one would be laughing up their sleeves.
Hence, the price given by Old Huang was indeed a discounted price. Furthermore, it was much more than what Xiao Chen had expected.
Xiao Chen put down the white paper that introduced the Demonic Core. He smiled and said, "In that case, many thanks to Old Huang."
Three thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones was a very large sum. Xiao Chen had to go through many procedures before he could truly obtain it.
Xiao Chen waited for another four hours before he finally managed to obtain all three thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
In addition to the five thousand-odd Medial Grade Spirit Stones in the Universe Ring, Xiao Chen now had a total of eight thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. This was a horrifying amount of wealth.
Xiao Chen was more or less done with what he needed to do. All that was left was to wait until he saw Feng Feixue tomorrow.
When Xiao Chen pushed open the doors of the Victorious Chief Pawnshop, the sky in the east was already turning bright. The light of dawn was about to break through the shackles of darkness.
There were already some people on the streets. However, most of them were ordinary people doing business in the early days. There were no signs of cultivators.
Xiao Chen revealed a calm smile as he slowly walked to the inn he came from. His pace was neither fast nor slow. When he heard the various shouts of the ordinary people around him, his state of mind slowly calmed down.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the entrance of the inn, the light of dawn finally matched the night sky. A red sun appeared.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked up. The rising sun was as red as a pillar. However, it was not too hot. Only at this moment could an ordinary person look directly at the sun.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He was like this fiery morning sun. His future was bright, but he might not be able to truly emit the light of the blazing sun. However, it was filled with unknown factors.
Since ancient times, there had been countless geniuses who died prematurely when the sun just rose, falling completely. The road ahead would be bumpy; he had to be careful.
Just as Xiao Chen was deep in thought, the waiter opened the doors of the inn. Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and walked in under the waiter's astonished gaze.
"Strange, didn't this person not go out last night? Why did he come in again this morning? "the waiter muttered as he looked at Xiao Chen's back.
After returning to his own room, Xiao Chen washed up and went straight to his bed to cultivate.
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation had remained in the fifth layer for a long time. After the third layer, it became increasingly difficult to cultivate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
However, with every layer, there would be a qualitative change in his strength. When he broke through to the third layer, the Purple Thunder True Fire became the Origin Flame. When he broke through to the fourth layer, the might of the Purple Thunder True Fire increased by another level. The Origin of Thunder contained in it became purer and more condensed.
Xiao Chen did not know what kind of surprise he would receive when he broke through to the fifth layer. He hoped that when the time came, the amount and might of the Purple Thunder True Fire would improve by another level.
Xiao Chen cultivated all the way until dusk. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and withdrew his palm. He gathered all the purple electricity in the air due to his cultivation into his right hand, forming a ball of blazing purple flame.
The purple flame slowly seeped into his palm and entered his body through the meridians in his arm. Finally, it gathered at the Origin Flame in his right eye.
After not eating for a day, Xiao Chen felt hungry. He prepared to go downstairs and have a feast.
Dusk was always the most crowded and bustling time in any inn or restaurant. Xiao Chen waited for a long time on the second floor before he found an empty table by the window.
"Have you heard? Something big happened in Dongming Province. It could be said to have shaken the entire Great Qin Nation," While waiting for the food to be served, the discussions of some cultivators reached Xiao Chen's ears.
Another person laughed, "Haha, how big can it be? Is it even more shocking than Xiao Chen's battle with the noble clans a year ago?"
"Xiao Chen, that's all in the past. That person hasn't appeared for a year. I'm guessing that with the large families chasing after him, he's either left Great Qin or is hiding in the wilderness, hiding his identity."
"In the current Great Qin Nation, there is no place for him to stay. Dongming Province, the Royal Courts, Xihe Province, and Nanling Province are all hunting him down."
"That's true. Tell us, what happened?" someone asked with great interest. "That's true.
The person who spoke first took a sip of wine and said, "A month ago, Duanmuqing gathered the outstanding talents of the various lands. I believe you all know about this. According to reliable sources, they gathered for a Dragon Phoenix Cauldron left behind by the Fire Li Sect.
"Furthermore, they actually found this cauldron. In the end, a nameless brat from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion defeated the outstanding talents of the various lands and snatched the cauldron back."
"Is that true? The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron is a legendary item. To think it actually appeared," the others exclaimed in astonishment.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he frowned slightly. He thought to himself, It looks like the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron is a hot potato. I will probably feel some pressure when I return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
Those people continued to chat, but Xiao Chen had no interest in listening. After he finished his meal, he returned to his room to cultivate.
Time passed very quickly as Xiao Chen cultivated. When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, the sky had already turned dark. He opened the window and looked out.
It was very dark outside; there were very few people walking on the streets. Xiao Chen held his Lunar Shadow Saber and silently leaped out, heading for the Victorious Chief Pawnshop.
He remembered that the last time he met Feng Feixue was in Dongming City as well. It seemed like the two of them had a special fate in Dongming City.
Xiao Chen executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art with all his might. In a short while, he arrived at the Victorious Chief Pawnshop again. This time, it was different from last night. There was no strong aura staring at him. The moment Xiao Chen walked up the bronze steps, the doors opened.
Old Huang smiled from behind the doors, "Young Master Ye, please follow me. Miss Feng has been waiting for a long time."
Xiao Chen nodded gently and followed Old Huang to the guest room on the top floor of the Victorious Chief Pawnshop. When they arrived at the door, Old Huang tactfully left.
