Two months passed very quickly. Other than stopping for a while on the Cangyang Continent, Xiao Lingyu had only delayed the activation of the Tracking Spirit Mirror once on the other continents.
Along the way, Xiao Lingyu did not find any traces of his parents, so he did not waste much time.
However, he was already three days late to begin with. In addition to the delay in activating the Tracking Spirit Mirror along the way, Xiao Lingyu felt that the chances of him reaching the main store of Kunlun Rare Treasures before the sale of the Three Lives Flower were actually very slim.
No matter what, since he had chased all the way to the Kunlun Continent, he naturally had to try his luck at the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store.
Not far from the Kunshu Continent's teleportation array, there was also a large cultivation city. Its name was the same as this continent.
Kunshu City occupied a large area of land, and the city walls were also very sturdy and tall. The Kunshu Continent was considered a famous and prosperous continent in the cultivation world, and Kunshu City was also one of the most famous cities in the cultivation world.
What made Xiao Lingyu very surprised was that as soon as he walked out of the teleportation array, he was blocked by two cultivators.
Although these two cultivators had concealed their auras very tightly, Xiao Lingyu could still see that their cultivation levels were very high. They were probably the kind of people who did not need to wait in line to use the teleportation array.
However, these two people looked like old men with genial expressions. After blocking Xiao Lingyu, they both cupped their fists and bowed. Xiao Lingyu was not too nervous.
"May I know if this fellow daoist is going to the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store?" One of the old men asked politely after Xiao Lingyu returned the greeting.
"Yes." Xiao Lingyu nodded in response.
"The two of us are the shopkeepers of the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store. We heard that you were coming, so we are here to welcome you. Please follow us into the city." The old man said.
"Oh?"
Xiao Lingyu was a little suspicious at first, but seeing that these two old men were easy-going and sincere, he was not in the mood to be bashful. He immediately said, "Then I'll have to trouble the two of you."
Even with the two experienced shopkeepers leading the way, it still took them nearly an hour to reach the entrance of the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store.
Kunshu City was really too big, and one couldn't walk or fly in the city. Therefore, even experts like Xiao Lingyu and the two old shopkeepers needed some time to reach the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store, which was located in the center of the city.
There was a rather large plaza in front of the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store. This caused the seven stories tall and magnificent store to appear extremely eye-catching. From this, one could tell that the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store was a large merchant with a deep background and great financial resources.
Furthermore, how could this Kunlun Rare Treasures Shop be ordinary if it could have two Fifth Tribulation experts or even higher as shopkeepers and had such a large territory and such a tall building in Kunshu City?
At the entrance of the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store, there was also a middle-aged Tribulation Transcendence cultivator waiting.
The middle-aged cultivator was wearing an elegant long robe. Although he was alone, he stood proudly at the entrance of the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store and looked at Xiao Lingyu with a smile.
Xiao Lingyu's intuition told him that this person was not simple, and the attitude of the two old shopkeepers towards the middle-aged cultivator made Xiao Lingyu even more certain of his guess.
"Master, this is the Fellow Daoist who wants to buy the Three Lives Flower." An old man cupped his fists and said respectfully.
"Hehe, I'll have to trouble the two elders."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
After the middle-aged cultivator was polite to the two old shopkeepers, he said to Xiao Lingyu, "Junior Bohou greets senior."
Although the middle-aged cultivator's status was extraordinary, his cultivation was not high. With his Tribulation Transcendence cultivation, it was reasonable for him to call himself a junior in front of Xiao Lingyu. After all, they thought that Xiao Lingyu was a Ninth Tribulation expert.
When Ninth Tribulation experts walked in the cultivation world, only Fifth Tribulation experts and above would not call themselves a junior, but a Fellow Daoist instead.
"Master, you don't have to be so polite. Let's call each other Fellow Daoist." Xiao Lingyu said politely. He knew very well that he was not a Ninth Tribulation expert and was only in his thirties. How could he let a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, who had cultivated for at least a few hundred years, call him a Senior?
The shopkeeper did not refuse and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come in and have some tea."
Compared to the Kunlun Rare Treasures Store, the various stores on the cultivation continent that Xiao Lingyu had visited before were too low-class. The hall on the first floor was no less than ten thousand feet long, but there were only a few shelves. However, all of the items on the shelves were treasures. The lowest quality was probably high quality.
The hall on the first floor was quite large, so it naturally wasn't occupied by those few shelves. There were also side rooms, tea rooms, and a series of female Body Integration Stage receptionists shuttled back and forth to provide patient and meticulous service to the customers.
Xiao Lingyu did not show a surprised expression as if he had not seen the world. He walked very calmly. Under Bohou's lead, he passed through the hall and arrived at the staircase. However, he did not see the staircase. Instead, he saw a miniature teleportation array.
"This Kunlun Rare Treasures Store is indeed extremely extravagant. They actually use a teleportation array to go upstairs." Xiao Lingyu praised in his heart.
After the teleportation array ended, Xiao Lingyu did not know which floor he was on. He just calmly followed Bohou into a side room.
The area of the side room was quite large. The decorations inside were also very luxurious. The domed ceiling was illuminated by valuable Water Spirit Pearls which cast waves of cool air. The floor was covered with thick and soft demon beast fur. The chair was even covered with the fur of an immortal beast, Bright Light Tiger …
Putting everything else aside, if the items in this room were sold, the spirit stones they would get would be enough to sustain the cultivation of a Void Inquiry Stage immortal sect for thousands of years.
"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat. Try our Kunlun Rare Treasures Store's special tea, 'Paradise on Earth'."
While talking to Xiao Lingyu, Bo Hou took out an exquisite white jade teapot and four white jade teacups. When Xiao Lingyu sat down, he opened the lid of the teapot. Immediately, a wave of refreshing fragrance flowed out, filling the entire room with its fragrance.
What caused Xiao Lingyu to feel even more strange was that the misty fragrant mist that drifted out actually slowly converged together after a few moments, and it even revealed various illusions. There were red-crowned cranes that fluttered in the sky, misty mountains that towered into the clouds, and surging rivers …
"No wonder it's called Paradise on Earth. It's indeed very interesting." Xiao Lingyu could not help but praise.
"Fellow Daoist, please have a taste of it." Bo Hou placed a cup of tea in front of Xiao Lingyu.
The tea looked very bland. It was light green in color. There was nothing special about it. However, the fragrance that lingered at the tip of Xiao Lingyu's nose made her feel intoxicated and comfortable all over. Without tasting it, she already knew that it was good stuff.
Xiao Lingyu was still worried that the energy contained in the tea was too huge. She was worried that she would make a fool of herself if she could not digest it. Therefore, she just took a sip.
The tea indeed contained a very rich energy. Moreover, this energy was immortal spiritual power. To those rogue immortals or Great Ascension Realm experts, this tea was definitely something that they could only dream of. However, to the current Xiao Lingyu, it was not something good.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu was already prepared. After taking a sip, the immortal spiritual power was absorbed by her Primal Chaos Nascent Soul. Then, it was directly wrapped up by her Primal Chaos Qi.
Xiao Lingyu could sense that there was not only immortal spiritual power in the tea. It also had the effect of hallucinating the mind. Although this hallucinating effect did not have any side effects and was beneficial for improving the soul realm after passing, Xiao Lingyu could not enjoy it at this time.
"The tea is good, but I'm not here for the tea. If I'm not wrong, the Three Lives Flower should still be in your shop. You don't have to beat around the bush. Just name your price." Xiao Lingyu did not want to complicate matters. Therefore, after taking a sip of tea, he put down the teacup and went straight to the point.
After Xiao Lingyu drank a mouthful of tea, Bo Hou and the two old shopkeepers stared at him, as if they wanted to see his expression of admiration. Unfortunately, he didn't let the three of them do as they wished.
The quality of the Primal Chaos Qi was definitely much higher than immortal spiritual power. Moreover, as Xiao Lingyu's cultivation continued to increase, he became more familiar with the control of the Primal Chaos Qi. However, it was still very easy for him to seal off a strand of immortal spiritual power.
Xiao Lingyu did not react at all, but it stirred up even greater waves in the hearts of the three shopkeepers. This was because they knew that the immortal spiritual power contained in the tea was very powerful. Even a Seventh Tribulation expert could not seal it in their body, but this expert in front of them had done it.
If they had doubts about Xiao Lingyu's identity as a Ninth Tribulation expert before, they were now convinced without a doubt.
They had seen someone who could drink the tea of this paradise on earth without any abnormalities, but that person was a Ninth Tribulation expert.
"This …"
Bo Hou stammered, looking a little embarrassed.
Xiao Lingyu's heart skipped a beat. Then, he asked, "Could it have been sold to someone else?"
"It hasn't been sold, but that Three Lives Flower has already been reserved by a fellow Daoist. He has also discussed the price with us. In a few days, he will come to pick it up. If we transfer the Three Lives Flower to someone else, I'm afraid …"
"I see." Xiao Lingyu continued, "Your Kunlun Rare Treasures Shop is one of the few big merchants in the cultivation world. Do you only have this one Three Lives Flower?"
Bo Hou and the two shopkeepers exchanged glances. Then, he said to Xiao Lingyu, "The Three Lives Flower is close to the immortal grade. Moreover, it is very useful to many experts. It is extremely difficult to collect. Even our Kunlun Rare Treasures Shop only has this one."
"Haha, then why did you invite me here?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a fake smile.
"Uh …"
Bo Hou found it difficult to answer Xiao Lingyu's question. Moreover, when he saw Xiao Lingyu's expression, he was a little worried. After all, he had just confirmed that the person in front of him was a genuine Ninth Tribulation expert.
"The main reason is that we would like to invite Fellow Daoist to stay here for a few days. When the fellow Daoist who reserved the Three Lives Flower comes, we will sit together and discuss whether he is willing to give it up. If he is willing to give it up, we will naturally be happy to sell the Three Lives Flower to … oh no, to give it to Fellow Daoist," one of the shopkeepers explained.
As for whether they would give it away or sell it, Xiao Lingyu did not care. Bo Hou certainly did not care either. After all, ten million supreme-grade spirit stones were nothing to them.
