C995 The Time Was Ripe
As he spoke, South-suppressing King took out three things. One was a shield, one was a sparkling stone, and the other was a wooden box. They all emitted strong spiritual energy fluctuations. They were not ordinary items.
However, Elder Feng was the chief appraiser of Sihai Commerce Alliance. He had seen countless good things, and these things were not enough to move him.
"The Superb Magic Treasure shield is refined from Heavenly Billow Gold. Its defensive power is outstanding, and it is a rare treasure. This shield can be sold for 1.5 billion Spirit Stone."
"The Fire Soul Stone is one of the wondrous stones of heaven and earth. Wearing it can increase the cultivation speed of fire-attribute cultivators. It's very rare, and it can be sold for three billion Spirit Stones."
Elder Feng was a bit careful with the last item because it was the only treasure that was stored in a wooden box. It was extraordinary.
"Heavenly Heart Grass!!"
After Elder Feng opened the wooden box, he exclaimed.
"Elder Feng, you have good eyesight. This is the Heavenly Heart Grass!" South-suppressing King was also a little proud of himself. This Heavenly Heart Grass was a rare opportunity that he had obtained, and it had also helped him achieve his goal.
The Heavenly Heart Grass was the most important ingredient in refining the Divine Transformation Pill. Back then, South-suppressing King had relied on the Divine Transformation Pill refined by the Heavenly Heart Grass to successfully advance to the Deification Period.
South-suppressing King had found a total of two stalks of this grass. One of them was used to exchange for a Divine Transformation Pill. The remaining stalk had always been reluctant to use it, and he was also unwilling to exchange it for a Spirit Stone. He wanted to keep it for his child.
But now, he was facing a serious crisis, and he had no choice but to take out a treasure like the Heavenly Heart Grass.
There was no need to talk about what advancing to the Soul Formation stage meant. He had introduced it before, and from this, it could be seen how precious the Heavenly Heart Grass was.
"Your Royal Highness, the Sihai Commerce Alliance is willing to pay 30 billion Spirit Stone for this Heavenly Heart Grass!!" Elder Feng said solemnly.
"Sure!" South-suppressing King agreed, but he made a request and said, "Elder Feng, these things are my beloved items. Can your alliance make an exception and let me redeem them in the future?"
The first two items were still alright. Although they were not common, the Sihai Commerce Alliance was able to take out quite a number of them. Only the Heavenly Heart Grass was something that could only be found by chance. Without luck, it was hard to say.
There was no other way. The Soul Formation stage was too crucial for cultivators. It was a dividing line between cultivators and the Great Dao. Naturally, it would not allow so many cultivators to reach the Soul Formation stage. Naturally, the treasures that could reach the Soul Formation stage were much less.
The Heavenly Heart Grass was in South-suppressing King's hands. He could only use it to exchange for the Soul Transformation Pill. However, when it fell into the hands of the Sihai Commerce Alliance, its value would increase by several times.
A pillar of Heavenly Heart Grass, together with other rare materials, could be used to concoct a cauldron of Soul Transformation Pills. There were a total of nine pills, which was several times more powerful than a single pill.
Indeed, there was a risk of failure when concocting pills, but the top alchemists in the Sihai Commerce Alliance could guarantee a success rate of 30%, which was nearly three times higher.
Therefore, Elder Feng was very troubled by this request. After all this time, he had been excited for nothing. He was only acting as a caretaker for South-suppressing King. In the end, even if he could earn hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones, compared to the profit of the Heavenly Heart Grass, which was worth tens of billions, the difference between heaven and earth.
"Agree to him!" At this time, Huo Fenghuang's voice suddenly sounded in Elder Feng's ears.
Huo Fenghuang had returned, but she did not choose to come out to see South-suppressing King.
South-suppressing King was a man who was about to die. Even if Lee Hao didn't plot against him, Gold King wouldn't let him go. How could he lend the Spirit Stone to such a person?
Of course, treasures could not be missed. Although it was not worth mentioning compared to Lee Hao's business, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat. Huo Fenghuang would not let it go.
"What is the Royal Highness saying? Since you have already spoken, of course I will keep this thing for you." Elder Feng said with a smile.
"Thank you!" South-suppressing King was extremely grateful. As the saying goes, money and goods are two different things. The items no longer belonged to him. He could do whatever others wanted. It was a kind of friendship that Elder Feng was willing to keep the items for him.
This was naturally South-suppressing King's idea. Elder Feng was merely following Huo Fenghuang's instructions.
After gathering more than 30 billion Spirit Stone, South-suppressing King left Sihai Commerce Alliance with regret.
South-suppressing King actually still had some spare Spirit Stone in his hands. He had kept them to go to the Sacred Dynasty to make arrangements, but now it seemed that he had to take out some of them.
"Pavilion Master, when did you come back?" Elder Feng sent South-suppressing King's three treasures to Huo Fenghuang's secret chamber.
"I just came back!" Huo Fenghuang simply replied but did not take the three items. Instead, she pointed to the wooden box and said, "Hand this Heavenly Heart Grass back to headquarters and let Master Jingchen refine a cauldron of Divine Transformation Pill before retrieving it."
"Ah?" Elder Feng was stunned, "Pavilion Master, didn't you just say that you want to keep these things and wait for South-suppressing King to redeem them?"
"I told you to do it, then do it. Stop talking nonsense!"
Elder Feng left with a belly full of doubts.
Compared to South-suppressing King's side that didn't go smoothly, Pingwu King's gathering of Spirit Stone was much smoother.
In the Sihai Commerce Alliance of Pingwu County, Pavilion Master was sent by Huo Fenghuang to monitor Huo Fenghuang. He wanted to see what Huo Fenghuang was up to in the wilderness.
Since they were enemies, Huo Fenghuang obviously wouldn't pay attention to him, let alone communicate with him. She hadn't even gone to Pingwu County to gather the Spirit Stone's resources.
Therefore, Pingwu King used his identity to easily pawn the Qianyi Spirit Stone. The price was that he had one billion Spirit Stones per year.
One percent per year, was it low? It was truly not low.
The Spirit Stone was not a banknote. Its value was stable. That was why the cost of one billion Spirit Stones per year was not low. It was equivalent to the Sihai Commerce Alliance collecting one billion Spirit Stones a year for free.
Pingwu King should be happy that he had successfully borrowed the Spirit Stone. He could not be happy because the news of Jin State had also been sent back.
Gold King didn't come, but he still asked him to go to the Jin State and bring the high-grade Spirit Vein along with him. What was going on?
When he received the reply, Pingwu King felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely dumbfounded. He had never thought that this would be the result.
How could Pingwu King not know how much Gold King desired the new warship? He had already entered the devil curse, so how could he not come?
Pingwu King's hand that was holding the letter was trembling!
On one hand, he was angry, and on the other hand, he was afraid.
Gold King was their only hope to break into the Fallen Immortal City, and he also knew the location of the high-grade Spirit Vein, so he could find it as soon as possible.
Pingwu King had already made up his mind. After entering the Fallen Immortal City, he would first go to Zhen Prefecture and obtain the high-grade Spirit Vein. After that, he would wait for an opportunity to act according to the situation.
If, in the event that Gold King was happy because of the refining method of the new warship and did not pursue the matter of the high-grade Spirit Vein, it would be very comfortable.
Every time he thought of this, Pingwu King could not help but laugh. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He was that oriole, but what about South-suppressing King? Not only did he suffer heavy losses, he also didn't get any benefits. A typical example of losing both men and soldiers.
But what about now? Everything was just a bubble. What he wanted was impossible to happen.
There was no point in complaining.
Pingwu King temporarily lost his composure. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he calmed down. However, his expression was so ugly that it was scary.
Gold King didn't come, but he had no choice but to give him the high-grade Spirit Vein. What should he do?
At this moment, Pingwu King thought of Zhen Xing's suggestion. A cold light flashed across his eyes.
It was time for him to die!
