26: Chapter 26 Selling Spirit Medicines, Buying Spirit Island, and Touring Dragon Island

In Qingsha Market, Li Luochen arrived at the Spirit Rice Workshop with familiar ease. Seeing Bai Qingkong busy attending to a customer, he began to browse around the Spirit Rice Workshop.

As for finding someone else to attend to him, Li Luochen had no intention of doing so. After all, he was Bai Qingkong's customer. If he were to find someone else to serve him and sell his spirit rice to them, it would definitely cause bad blood with Bai Qingkong.

Not long after, Bai Qingkong sent off his customer and walked over.

"My apologies, Fellow Daoist Li. A Senior Brother from the Sect came to sell spirit rice just now, so I was delayed a bit."

Li Luochen waved his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist, there is no need for such formalities. Shall we find a quiet place to talk?"

Bai Qingkong nodded slightly and led him toward the VIP room.

He knew that Li Luochen had brought a significant amount of goods this time, though he did not know exactly how much.

After the two entered the VIP room, Bai Qingkong activated the Formation and then asked: "Fellow Daoist, how much spirit rice have you brought this time?"

Li Luochen smiled and said: "I have no Medium Grade spirit rice. I have 120,000 catties of Low Grade spirit rice, 800,000 catties of ordinary spirit rice, as well as 195 stalks of High Grade sea soul grass and 190 stalks of High Grade crystal flower."

"That is all. Fellow Daoist, please take a look and see how many Spirit Stones it is worth."

He did not intend to sell the Medium Grade spirit rice. After all, there was so little of it; it was better to keep it for the Family and let the clansmen eat it.

The resources being sold this time were quite substantial, and he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of Spirit Stones.

Bai Qingkong's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Li Luochen in disbelief.

"High Grade Spirit Medicine? sea soul grass and crystal flower? Each stalk is worth 35 Spirit Stones, and you have a total of 385 stalks?"

"Let's put that aside for now. I will round it up for you to 15,000 Spirit Stones. What do you think?"

"As for the spirit rice, how about 20,000 Spirit Stones? What does Fellow Daoist think?"

Li Luochen smiled and said: "Good, many thanks, Fellow Daoist."

He had not expected such a huge harvest this time; it added up to a total of 35,000 Spirit Stones.

If he added what he already had on him, he could even purchase a foundation establishment pill.

According to the auction prices in Beihai Immortal City, an ordinary foundation establishment pill was worth 35,000 Spirit Stones, while a premium foundation establishment pill cost over 50,000 Spirit Stones.

Even if he could buy a foundation establishment pill, he might not be able to protect it. Without Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, trying to bid for a foundation establishment pill at an auction? It was better to forget it; he wouldn't even know how he died.

Having obtained so many Spirit Stones, Li Luochen was not excited; on the contrary, he was very worried.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, how are Spirit Islands under the jurisdiction of the Qingsha Sect sold? I would like to purchase a Spirit Island with a Low Grade Spiritual Vein."

Bai Qingkong shook his head and said: "That matter is not under my jurisdiction. However, if you wish to purchase one, Fellow Daoist, I can help introduce you to someone."

"As it happens, the Junior Martial Uncle in charge of managing islands is right here in the market. We can go find him after we finish our transaction."

Li Luochen nodded quickly; if there was an acquaintance involved, it might be cheaper.

The two finished the transaction quickly. After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Qingkong led Li Luochen toward the center of the market.

They soon arrived outside the shop that sold islands. Bai Qingkong sent a voice transmission: "This Junior Martial Uncle has a difficult temperament. Do not try to haggle later; I will help you negotiate for the lowest price."

To him, Li Luochen was a major client, so he naturally had to give him some advice.

Li Luochen could continuously bring him contribution points. For Sect Disciples like them, Spirit Stones really didn't amount to much; what they lacked were contribution points.

It was a pity that Spirit Stones could not be exchanged for contribution points, otherwise he wouldn't be working so hard for the Sect.

Li Luochen nodded, indicating he understood.

Upon entering the shop, they saw a reclining chair behind the counter, with an old man sleeping on it. The old man had no aura about him, as if he were an ordinary person.

Li Luochen did not dare to be careless. Anyone whom Bai Qingkong called Junior Martial Uncle was definitely not simple.

"Qingkong! You little fellow, what brings you to my place?"

After letting them wait for a moment, the old man opened his eyes and asked with a chuckle.

Bai Qingkong quickly said respectfully: "Junior Martial Uncle, a friend of this Disciple wishes to purchase a Spirit Island, so I have brought him to you."

The old man sat up abruptly and cast his gaze toward Li Luochen. When he saw the aura on Li Luochen clearly, he nodded slightly.

"Qi Refining Level 8, that's passable. Cultivate well; you might just succeed in Foundation Establishment in the future."

"I wonder what quality of Spirit Island you wish to purchase? Tell me about it."

Li Luochen quickly said: "This Junior needs a Spirit Island near Hidden Dragon Island that possesses two Low Grade Spiritual Veins. I wonder if there is one available?"

The old man frowned and pondered for a moment before asking: "Are you talking about that Mortal island in the northeast corner? Oh, I remember now. It was you who purchased that island seven or eight years ago, wasn't it?"

"I didn't expect you to have cultivated it into a Spirit Island. Not bad, not bad. Since you want to purchase another island, it seems you have established your own power."

"How about this: this island is called Youlong Island, with an area of about 50 square kilometers. It has three side-by-side Low Grade Spiritual Veins. I wonder if you can handle it?"

"If you can handle it, I can give you some discounts, and at the same time, gift you the five ordinary small islands surrounding this island. Do you want it?"

Li Luochen fell into deep thought. Although there were not many clansmen in the Li Family now, there were already over ten.

His own cultivation had already reached Qi Refining Level 8, and he was not far from Qi Refining Level 9.

Li Yanlong and Li Yanhu had both reached Qi Refining Stage 5. If they used a Medium Grade Breakthrough pill, breaking through to Qi Refining Stage 6 in a short time would not be a problem.

Although Li Yanfeng had wasted a year giving birth to a child, she was confident she could break through to Qi Refining Stage 5 within two years. If she used a Medium Grade Breakthrough pill, one year would be enough.

Gao Qingzhou and the other two had already reached Qi Refining Level 2. If they refined five drops of earth pulse stalactite milk, breaking through to Qi Refining Level 4 would not be a problem.

Since that was the case, taking Youlong Island would definitely not be a problem.

Three Low Grade Spiritual Veins! That could open up 60 mu of Low Grade spirit fields and 150 mu of ordinary spirit fields.

With so many spirit fields for planting spirit rice, how many good things would he be able to obtain from future spirit rice critical hits?

Thinking of this, Li Luochen asked: "Senior, how many Spirit Stones for this Youlong Island? If I purchase it, could you reduce the protection fee for a few decades?"

The old man chuckled and said: "It seems you have already made your decision, little friend. In that case, I will tell you."

"Youlong Island has three Low Grade Spiritual Veins. Each Low Grade Spiritual Vein will be counted as 8,000 Spirit Stones. Plus the entire island, you just need to give me 30,000 Spirit Stones."

"As for the protection fee, I will waive it for thirty years for you, including for your current Hidden Dragon Island. How about that?"

Hearing this, Li Luochen nodded slightly and said: "Very well. Many thanks, Senior. I wonder, after thirty years, how much will the total protection fee be for the seven islands, including my Hidden Dragon Island?"

The old man shook his head slightly and said: "Those five small islands are considered gifts to you, so no protection fee is needed for them."

"As for Hidden Dragon Island and Youlong Island, how about paying 1,000 Spirit Stones every ten years?"

Li Luochen smiled and said: "Very well, thank you for your care, Senior."

He knew that he had gotten a bargain by purchasing Youlong Island this time; otherwise, an island with three Spiritual Veins could never have cost only 30,000 Spirit Stones. He had made a huge profit.
