Chapter 58 Selling, Selling, Selling, Buying, Buying

Luo Haoyun sent out a team invitation. At this moment, the second floor was filled with a tense atmosphere. Everyone looked at each other, but no one expressed their opinion.

Luo Haoyun chuckled, "Are you all looking down on this Young Master's strength?"

The few people quickly replied, "We dare not!"

One person said cautiously, "Young Master Luo, our cultivation is low, we might delay Young Master Luo's important task of hunting Yao Beasts!"

Luo Haoyun did not respond to the speaker, continuing to eat heartily in silence.

Watching Luo Haoyun continue eating without replying to his words, the speaker felt an inexplicable pressure mounting as time passed.

He broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to look up at Luo Haoyun. Another dozen breaths passed, and Luo Haoyun was still eating, still silent.

This speaker finally could not bear it anymore and said, "Young Master Luo, I am willing to go to the Boundless Forest with you to hunt Fifth-level Demonic Beasts!"

Luo Haoyun looked up once, then swept his gaze over the others. What choice did the others have? Lu Xilou smiled bitterly; even he could not escape.

At this time, the host of this banquet, Zhu Zelin, was cursing Luo Haoyun's entire ancestral line in his heart. Disrupting his Foundation Establishment Immortal Banquet and then being so aggressive—truly arrogant.

"I am willing to hunt Fifth-level Demonic Beasts with Young Master Luo!" Everyone expressed their stance one after another. There was no choice; who told him he was from the Golden Core Luo Family?

Luo Haoyun's pale face finally showed a satisfied expression. "Hahaha, good, good, good! You all still think highly of this Luo, think highly of the Luo Family, haha!"

After speaking, Luo Haoyun stood up, and his guards followed suit. Luo Haoyun patted his stomach and said, "I'm full, the taste was not bad. Everyone, please continue. This Luo does not need any of you to hunt Fifth-level Demonic Beasts, so this team Formation... forget it."

When the crowd heard 'forget it,' they all breathed a sigh of relief. However, this Young Master Luo left them with the impression of being domineering and bullying others with his status.

Luo Haoyun came to the first floor, and Zhu Zelin accompanied him down.

Luo Haoyun scanned the first floor again, glanced at Chen Li a few more times, found him utterly unremarkable, and finally shook his head.

After Luo Haoyun left, the faces of the Zhu Family's Old Ancestor, Zhu Boqiu, and Foundation Establishment Cultivator Zhu Zelin were gloomy.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the second floor took their leave, having lost their mood. The Qi Refining Immortal Clans on the first floor also sensed the strange atmosphere; this Foundation Establishment Immortal Banquet had ended anticlimactically again.

However, before leaving, several Qi Refining Immortal Clans connected by marriage ties with the Zhu Family were kept behind by Zhu Zelin to exchange information.

Zhu Zelin informed them about the secret order from the Beast Hunting Sect. Those Sects and Golden Core Families had only notified the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans. Although Chen Li had heard some rumors on the first floor, Zhu Zelin's confirmation made it certain!

Zhu Zelin said to Chen Li and the others, "It is almost impossible for Qi Refining Cultivators to hunt Fifth-level Demonic Beasts, so you should not go."

The few people thanked him and took their leave. Zhu Zelin looked at Chen Li and added, "Nephew Chen, although you are a Third-Rank Formation Master, a Fifth-level Demonic Beast cannot be killed by a Third-Rank Formation!"

Chen Li cupped his hands in return, "Thank you for informing me, Clan Uncle Zelin. I know my own limits and absolutely will not go to the Boundless Forest to hunt any Fifth-level Demonic Beasts!"

Chen Li would have to be out of his mind to go to the Boundless Forest to hunt Fifth-level Demonic Beasts for bartering. He could refine a whole basket of foundation establishment pills; he ate foundation establishment pills like candy.

Zhu Zelin nodded. After everyone dispersed, Chen Li went directly to Luoxia Mountain in Lingchuan County and used the Teleportation Array there to return to Black Magpie Mountain in one go.

...The world bustled, but Black Magpie Mountain remained tranquil.

Time sped by. Half a month later, Chen Li went to the Beast Hunting Sect Cultivation Market for another major shopping spree.

Half a day later, in the Taihu Mountain Range, a Foundation Establishment Old Man stepped into the Cultivation Market. Switching to a different Medicinal Pill shop, Chen Li once again produced three Low Grade foundation establishment pills.

The Foundation Establishment shopkeeper said, "Eight thousand Spirit Stones!"

The Foundation Establishment Old Man shook his head and pointed one finger. The Foundation Establishment shopkeeper pretended to be troubled, and Chen Li got another thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

It was still ten thousand Spirit Stones per pill!

The Foundation Establishment Old Man vanished from the Taihu Mountain Range. A Foundation Establishment Cultivator looking like a scruffy middle-aged man stepped into the Cultivation Market again. This time he went to the Spiritual Plant shop. Chen Li took out three four-hundred-year-old Breakthrough Spiritual Plants.

After another round of haggling, Chen Li obtained another forty-three thousand Spirit Stones.

The Cultivator resembling a scruffy middle-aged man also disappeared from the Cultivation Market.

An hour later, a young and arrogant Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks arrived at a Formation Materials shop.

The shopkeeper saw how arrogant the young man was and wondered if he had money.

Chen Li began browsing the shop. A set of four-hundred-year-old Vajra Thunder Wood and Frost Cloth cost three thousand Spirit Stones per set, enough to make a set of Fourth-Rank Defensive Formation Array.

This Defensive Formation Array incorporated both thunder and ice attributes. He had bought one set last time and deployed it on Black Magpie Mountain. The shop currently had four sets remaining, and Chen Li bought them all out—four sets!

The shopkeeper was stunned, "This is our biggest customer!"

When Chen Li directly produced twelve thousand Spirit Stones, the shopkeeper felt that it was fine for the young man to be a bit arrogant; if rich young men weren't arrogant, what would they be?

Unfortunately, Chen Li did not find Materials for a Fifth-Rank Defensive Formation Array here, nor could he find all the necessary Materials for a Fourth-Rank Spirit Trapping Formation. However, he bought quite a bit of the Divine Stones required for the Spirit Trapping Formation, spending another two thousand Spirit Stones.

Chen Li then went to the spirit wood shop to check if they had the four-hundred-year-old iron essence wood needed for the Spirit Trapping Formation. Sure enough, they did not, but they were selling seeds. Chen Li bought a pile of iron essence wood seeds and Vajra Wood seeds.

After finishing his purchases, Chen Li always felt like he was being watched. He knew that his disguise as an arrogant young Foundation Establishment Cultivator needed to disappear from the Market.

Three hours later, after shaking off some malicious trackers, Chen Li transformed again into an old farmer at the Seventh Level of Qi Refining and went to the Spirit Fowl Market.

At a Spirit Chicken shop, the shopkeeper greeted him enthusiastically, "Fellow Daoist, our High Grade Spirit Chickens are 150 Spirit Stones each, Medium Grade Spirit Chickens are 65 Spirit Stones each, and Low Grade Spirit Chickens are 25 Spirit Stones each."

Chen Li looked at two High Grade Spirit Chickens and said, "Give me these two High Grade Spirit Chickens, thirty Medium Grade Spirit Chickens, and one hundred Low Grade Spirit Chickens!"

Seeing such a large order, the shopkeeper's face bloomed with smiles, "Certainly, Fellow Daoist, please have a seat, have some tea!"

Chen Li took out the spirit beast pouch. After the shopkeeper packed up all these Spirit Chickens, he calculated the total for Chen Li, "Fellow Daoist, the total is 4750 Spirit Stones. For such a large order, Fellow Daoist only needs 4700!"

Chen Li paid the 4700 Spirit Stones without hesitation. However, Spirit Chickens definitely needed feed. But now the Family could also supply food for these Spirit Chickens. Medium and High Grade Spirit Chickens needed spirit rice, Yao Beast meat could also work, and they had planted quite a few Spiritual Plant fields; the several-year-old Spiritual Plants could also be used for feeding.

These Low Grade Spirit Chickens only needed to eat some miscellaneous spirit rice, spirit rice husks, and so on.

Chen Li then went to the place selling Spirit Pigs. Chen Li only bought three to test the waters, spending 150 Spirit Stones.

But in the end, Chen Li still bought quite a lot of Low Grade spirit rice to use as feed, buying ten thousand jin, which cost 1000 Spirit Stones. Having money means being unrestrained!

On this trip to the Market, Chen Li earned a total of seventy-three thousand Spirit Stones and spent about twenty thousand. The remaining surplus of about fifty thousand Spirit Stones would be used to maintain the consumption of the Defensive Formation Array and for daily expenses.

The old farmer Chen Li was disguised as quietly withdrew from the Beast Hunting Sect Cultivation Market without causing the slightest ripple!
