On the top floor of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, a luxurious reception hall that could normally accommodate 60 people and view Twilight City's scenery through its floor-to-ceiling windows was currently occupied by only three people.
Aside from Feng Qianyu and Shifeng, only Blue Phoenix, one of Feng Qianyu's confidants, was present. The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Elders' Meeting was even more private than the Pavilion's Elders' Meeting.
As for the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Elders who had followed Blue Phoenix and Phoenix Pavilion, they tactfully left, not intending to interfere with the two's business. Moreover, with Ke Le, Yan Tianxing, and other Tier 3 experts with sharp senses standing guard outside the hall, even if some of the Pavilion's members wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation inside, they would be powerless.
"President Hei Yan, thank you for your help. Otherwise, the Guild's Elders would've sided with Nine Dragons Emperor," Feng Qianyu said as he looked at the Twelve Magic Pillars in the room. Phoenix Rain said as she looked at the ten sets of Twelve Elemental Pillars on the table. "You should store these precious Advanced Ancient Magic Scrolls as soon as possible. Although they won't damage the Magic Scrolls if stored normally, these Magic Scrolls are quite ancient. If you don't properly store them, they might damage the magic arrays engraved on them."
In God's Domain, Magic Scrolls wouldn't become useless if they weren't used. However, it was a different story for ancient Magic Scrolls.
Due to the corrosion of time, some ancient Magic Scrolls would lose their effects once their durability reached a certain level. However, if one were to move these ancient Magic Scrolls around, their durability would decrease to a certain extent.
Previously, to humiliate Nine Dragons Emperor, Shifeng had casually tossed these ancient Magic Scrolls to the floor. Now that he had casually placed them, it was very easy to damage their durability.
As for the Shifeng's offer to sell these Magic Scrolls, in Blue Phoenix's opinion, it was only because the Shifeng wanted to take control of the situation.
Advanced Ancient Magic Scrolls weren't ordinary Magic Scrolls. They were Magic Scrolls that had been passed down since ancient times. Collecting a complete set was extremely difficult. Even the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion hadn't collected a single complete set, much less ten.
Currently, the various superpowers were frantically exploring Level 100 neutral maps. The ten Twelve Elemental Pillars sets would be of great help to any power. If Ling Yi sold these Magic Scrolls to her, Ling Yi would suffer a massive loss.
"I won't accept these. I originally intended to sell these Twelve Elemental Pillars sets to you, Phoenix," Shifeng said, shaking his head.
"You really intend to sell them?" Feng Qianyu was a little surprised to see Shifeng's serious expression. Trying to persuade him, he said, "These are ten Advanced Ancient Magic Scrolls we're talking about. At the very least, they should be enough to deal with ten Level 100 Mythic monsters. If you find a good Boss, they'll increase the strength of your main force significantly. If you're worried about Nine Dragons Emperor, you can rest assured. I still have several Advanced Barrier Scrolls with me. You'll have no problems dealing with Nine Dragons Emperor."
Everyone in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion knew that Shifeng had only agreed to sell these Advanced Barrier Scrolls out of respect for her. As for how many Advanced Barrier Scrolls she purchased and how she used them, no one had the right to interfere. At worst, she would sell the Advanced Barrier Scrolls she had collected to the Guild and buy herself some time to nurture her Flying Mount. Then, she could explore Level 100 neutral maps for more resources.
As for whether or not she had used these Twelve Elemental Pillars sets, no one would know. After all, her team consisted of her most trusted members. Including the resources she had obtained through her Flying Mount, she should have no problems dealing with the Guild's Grand Elders.
Blue Phoenix, who stood beside Shi Feng, nodded in agreement.
Shifeng had already done her team a huge favor. Naturally, she couldn't let Shifeng suffer any more losses.
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, you're overthinking things. I'm really here to make a deal," Shifeng said, exasperated when he saw Blue Phoenix and Blue Phoenix's confident expressions.
He had planned to sell the Twelve Elemental Pillars to the public from the very beginning. Only, he hadn't planned to sell them on a large scale. He had only planned to sell them to a few partner powers.
By doing so, he could ensure that the Twelve Elemental Pillars wouldn't be leaked to the public and become a tool for his enemies. At the same time, he could earn a ton of resources and Coins for Ling Yi.
Among the materials required to craft the Twelve Elemental Pillars, a large number of Elemental Crystals and Magic Cores were required. Meanwhile, both of these materials were strategic resources for Guilds. Normally, Guilds would not sell these materials to outsiders. Players could only purchase a very small portion of these materials from the market.
Hence, if he wanted to mass-produce the Twelve Elemental Pillars, he'd have to purchase them from other powers. Moreover, he was in dire need of Magic Crystals and Coins right now, especially Magic Crystals. Even though he had an ore vein to mine, he needed far more Magic Crystals than Ling Yi could earn from the ore vein.
Just the teleportation gate between the eastern and western continents required a lot of Magic Crystals, and Magic Crystals were far rarer on the western continent than on the eastern continent. They were hard currency, and if one wished to obtain the rare materials required to produce Level 100-plus weapons and equipment on the western continent, they'd need a large number of Magic Crystals.
Of course, he could also sell some of the materials unique to the eastern continent on the western continent. However, the materials unique to the eastern continent were just as valuable on the eastern continent. Moreover, the various superpowers had a monopoly on the eastern continent. Hence, he couldn't obtain a lot of these materials. After all, the various superpowers that could travel between the two continents normally used these materials as the basis for their transactions with other superpowers.
After giving the matter some thought, Shi Feng concluded that Magic Crystals were his only option.
"President Hei Yan, can you really supply these Twelve Elemental Pillars in bulk?" Blue Phoenix couldn't believe her ears when she saw Shifeng's dumbfounded expression.
These were Advanced Ancient Magic Scrolls they were talking about. If Shi Feng could supply them in bulk, they'd truly strike it rich.
"Of course. However, I'm sure you all know how precious the Twelve Elemental Pillars are. They aren't cheap. In fact, their value can't be measured with money," Shi Feng said, smiling at Blue Phoenix's excited look. Chuckling, he continued, "A complete set of the Twelve Elemental Pillars will cost 5,000 Magic Crystals and 500 Gold Coins. In addition, 500 Elemental Crystals and 500 Magic Cores each."
"So many?" Blue Phoenix could not help but gasp when she heard Shi Feng's words. Her previous excitement had completely vanished.
Although Shifeng had said that he could supply a large number of the Twelve Elemental Pillars, at this price, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion wouldn't be able to purchase many sets.
After all, the total value of the Coins and materials required was over 4,000 Gold.
Moreover, Magic Crystals, Elemental Crystals, and Magic Cores were strategic resources for Guilds. Obtaining them normally wasn't easy. Guilds usually had to accumulate these resources bit by bit. When considering their own needs and future, they could only afford a limited number. This was the same for other superpowers.
"Sure enough, the prices aren't cheap." Feng Qianyu revealed a bitter smile as he looked at the Twelve Elemental Pillars on the table. "I'll buy 30 sets, then."
Although she had long since prepared herself for the high price, she still couldn't help her heartache when she heard Shifeng's price.
However, the Twelve Elemental Pillars was an Advanced Ancient Magic Barrier Scroll. In terms of price, it wasn't particularly expensive. After all, an Intermediate Magic Barrier Scroll sold for 700 to 800 Gold on the market. Most importantly, the Twelve Elemental Pillars couldn't be purchased normally. No superpower would sell them.
Compared to other Advanced Magic Barrier Scrolls, the Twelve Elemental Pillars only required a Tier 2 team to raid Mythic Field Bosses. It would be extremely efficient for Guilds when raiding Mythic Field Bosses.
If they could find a good Mythic Field Boss, they could still make a fortune without being too greedy. Moreover, with the Twelve Elemental Pillars, they would have a large lead over the other superpowers. This was the greatest benefit of the Twelve Elemental Pillars.
"That won't be a problem. I'll have someone deliver the remaining 20 sets by tomorrow," Shifeng said, not surprised to see Feng Qianyu's pained expression. On the contrary, he understood Feng Qianyu's intentions.
This was also why he had sought cooperation with several superpowers.
Crafting a set of 12 Elemental Pillars required 12 Mana Stones. Normally, a Master Alchemist would only need 1,200 Magic Crystals to refine the Twelve Elemental Pillars. However, crafting a set of 12 Elemental Crystals and Magic Cores required 144 each.
With Ling Yi's current resources, she wouldn't be able to craft that many sets, much less supply the Guild's various Tier 2 teams.
Meanwhile, after Feng Qianyu and Shifeng confirmed the transaction for the Twelve Elemental Pillars, just as Blue Phoenix was about to head to the Guild Warehouse to retrieve the materials, a dark cloud suddenly appeared on Feng Qianyu's face.
"President Hei Yan, why don't we just forget about this transaction? We caused too much of a commotion in the Residence's plaza today. Mythology's Vice Guild Leader was also present. The various superpowers must've learned about this already. Moreover, the fact that you can sell the Twelve Elemental Pillars in bulk is also true. If the various superpowers find out about this, they won't let Ling Yi off the hook. They might even work together to force you to hand over the channels or methods to obtain the Twelve Elemental Pillars," Feng Qianyu said after giving the matter some thought.
In God's Domain, the various superpowers would plant spies in other superpowers. The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion was no exception. Most likely, the various superpowers had long since planted their spies in the Residence.
How could the various superpowers' spies possibly miss out on such a huge commotion today?
If Shifeng had lied to Nine Dragons Emperor about the Twelve Elemental Pillars, she would've let the matter rest. At most, everyone in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion would've rejoiced for nothing. Her prestige would've plummeted, and many of the Pavilion's Grand Elders would've turned to Nine Dragons Emperor.
However, now that this matter was true, she would have a difficult time dealing with it.
The Twelve Elemental Pillars required a lot of materials. If it were only a few, with her identity as the Pavilion Master, she could've concealed the matter and secretly traded with Shifeng. However, the Twelve Elemental Pillars required a lot of materials. If she used the Twelve Elemental Pillars, the chances of her being discovered would be even higher.
Taking the three Flying Ships as an example, she could at most stabilize Ling Yi's aerial dominance. She couldn't touch the various superpowers' foundations. However, if she could supply a large number of the Twelve Elemental Pillars, she could change the entire structure of God's Domain. The various superpowers definitely wouldn't be willing to submit to a pseudo-super-first-rate Guild like Ling Yi. In fact, even the Five Great Super Guilds wouldn't be able to control Ling Yi in the future.
At that time, there would only be two outcomes. The first was that the various superpowers would secretly work together to eliminate Ling Yi, returning everything to square one. Otherwise, Ling Yi would have to hand over the method to obtain the Twelve Elemental Pillars and submit to the various superpowers. Regardless of which option she chose, Ling Yi would be fatal.
Hence, she might as well pretend that the Shifeng had lied to Nine Dragons Emperor. This way, Ling Yi could avoid destruction.
