"Hmm, I'm going to concoct a type of medicinal pill and I'm lacking a catalyst. I wonder if you have it here?"
Ning Qi nodded lightly.
"As long as it exists in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, our Black Rock Merchant Guild will also have it."
"Do you have Purifying Spirit Flowers?"
"Of course … What is the Purifying Spirit Flower?"
The voice of the staff member from the Black Rock Merchant Association came to a sudden halt. A faint blush actually appeared on his face, which was as sharp as a green stone.
He looked at Ning Qi in shame and said, "I'm sorry, I know too little and don't know what the Purifying Spirit Flower is. However, my Black Rock Chamber of Commerce should have it. Please follow me to see Master An Lai. Master An Lai is our Black Rock Chamber of Commerce's treasure appraisal expert. He knows everything in the universe!"
As he spoke, he started to boast out of habit. In his eyes, the Black Lava Trade Union was indeed omnipotent. Soon, Ning Qi and Noah followed the staff member up to the third floor. In the process, he introduced himself as Boulder Voodoo. He had worked in the Black Rock Merchant Guild for many years, starting from the lowest level of servant. Now that he had broken through to the early stage of the Dao Querying Realm, he finally had the right to work in the Black Rock Merchant Guild.
The reception hall received guests!
There were already many cultivators on the third floor waiting for Grandmaster Anlai's audience. They were either here to buy items or to sell items. They all had to be appraised by Grandmaster Anlai!
"Two esteemed guests, please wait here for a moment. Master Anlai's appraisal speed is very fast. It won't be long before it's your turn. Believe me, that Net … Whatever Flower will definitely have it!"
Boulder Voodoo Poison whispered.
The confidentiality rules of the Black Rock Merchant Guild forbade the staff from selling their customers' information.
"Okay, thank you."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
After such a long time, this bit of waiting time was really nothing to Ning Qi. Almost in a trance, it was his turn.
Noah did not follow him in. Ning Qi entered the room alone.
"Are you here to appraise something?"
Master Anlai glanced at Ning Qi indifferently. Like Noah, he was also a cultivator of the Boulder Clan. However, there were many wrinkles on his bluestone skin. It was obvious that he was much older than Noah.
"No, I'm here to purchase a spirit material for alchemy. It's called the Purifying Spirit Flower. The staff member who received me didn't know what it was. I wonder if Grandmaster An Lai has seen it before? Does the Black Lava Merchant Guild have any Purifying Spirit Flowers in stock? "
Ning Qi went straight to the point.
"Purifying Spirit Flower?" Master Anlai frowned slightly and looked Ning Qi up and down. "This flower is extremely beneficial to the soul. Outside of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, it's considered a rare spiritual material. I've never heard of anyone obtaining a Purifying Spirit Flower in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. However, if you can afford it, give me a deposit first.
Perhaps I can get someone to bring you a Purifying Spirit Flower. "
Ning Qi's eyes flickered. "Grandmaster An Lai is in contact with people from the outside world?"
"This is not something you should know. I have my own channels."
Grandmaster Anlai said lightly.
"Oh, I understand. I'll take my leave."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded, then turned to leave.
One step, two steps. Just as Ning Qi was about to leave the house, Grandmaster An Lai spoke again. "Didn't you want to buy a Purifying Spirit Flower? Why are you leaving?"
Ning Qi paused and turned to look at Grandmaster An Lai. "I'm afraid that my deposit will go down the drain."
"Hehe …" Grandmaster An Lai narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Qi for a while. Suddenly, he let out a soft laugh. He did not get angry. Instead, he nodded slightly. "It's normal for you to be worried. How about this, tell me how many standard Origin Stones you can offer to buy a Purifying Spirit Flower.
If there's a profit, I'll take the risk of the deposit. You can come back to trade when the Purifying Spirit Flower arrives. "
"I think it's better if Grandmaster offers a price."
Ning Qi said lightly.
"One million Origin Stones, no bargaining."
Grandmaster An Lai thought for a while and said.
As if afraid that Ning Qi would find the price too high, he paused and explained, "Of the one million Origin Stones, seven hundred thousand will be spent on the channels. If you think it's too expensive, then we won't do this deal."
One million Origin Stones? That was equivalent to a star soul stone. To Ning Qi's current net worth, it was just a drop in the bucket. To be able to use this price to recover Wang Xue's consciousness and even let her become a ghost immortal comparable to the Dao Querying Realm, it was worth it no matter how one looked at it.
However …
An early-stage Dao Querying Realm cultivator like Giant Rock Noah was still worried about a few dozens of Origin Stones. One could imagine how valuable the Origin Stones were. One million Origin Stones was probably equivalent to the entire wealth of an ordinary perfected Dao Querying Realm cultivator.
If Ning Qi agreed to it, it would be indirectly telling others that he was worth a lot and that they should come and snatch it. If he was targeted by a fourth-step existence, it would be very troublesome.
"One million Origin Stones … Can't it be cheaper?"
Ning Qi said with a serious expression.
"No."
Grandmaster An Lai laughed softly and shook his head lightly. He seemed to be extremely happy to see Ning Qi so worried about the Origin Stones.
"I might not have enough Origin Stones on hand, but I will try my best to gather one million. As long as the Black Rock Trade Union can take out the Purifying Spirit Flower, one million it is!"
Ning Qi gritted his teeth.
"Alright, I believe that as a cultivator at the perfected Dao Querying Realm, you will not go back on your words. However, you should at least write a written agreement in case there are any changes in the future and the transaction cannot be completed. We will take this agreement and go to the human race's territory to look for your fourth-step cultivators."
Grandmaster An Lai smiled.
After a while, Ning Qi left the house with an "ugly" expression. Grandmaster An Lai looked at Ning Qi's back as he disappeared at the door and suddenly laughed softly.
"Another cultivator at the perfected Dao Querying Realm. One million Origin Stones … He will be busy for a while, right? Hmm, I might be able to take thirty to fifty thousand Origin Stones from this transaction. Not bad, not bad … "
Grandmaster An Lai's eyes shone with greed. He was like a miser as he started to calculate the benefits he would gain from this transaction.
As for whether Ning Qi would break the contract unilaterally, he was not worried at all. With the power of the Black Rock Trade Union, as long as he brought the agreement to the human race's fourth-step cultivators, the human race would pinch their noses and continue to complete this transaction. Otherwise, the reputation of the human race would be tarnished!
"How is it?"
The boulder Voodoo Poison had not left and was guarding the door. When he saw Ning Qi, he immediately asked in anticipation.
"Grandmaster An Lai indeed knows."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
