308: It's none of your business if we sell our things to whomever we want.

Inside and outside the Trading Firm, the crowd remained surging; some arrived with excitement, while others left dejectedly.

However, most Cultivators who left were quite satisfied.

Aside from the slight heartache of spending a lot of divine marrow, the treasures they bought were well worth the price.

"Shopkeeper, how much divine marrow for this earth qilin royal heart?"

Nie Feiyang looked at the precious medicine in front of him, which resembled a heart, covered with scales, and emitted pure Spiritual Qi, a hint of irrepressible joy in his eyes.

He found it.

He had been searching for the earth qilin royal heart for a long time; with it, he would be able to refine Medicinal Pills to Awaken his own Bloodline!

Shen Qi glanced at him, "earth qilin royal heart, one hundred jin of divine marrow!"

One hundred jin of divine marrow, this was already a fair price; Shen Qi had been observing him for a while.

This Young Master was handsome, with fair skin and a noble Aura, not appearing to be without money.

But his attire and his Carefree Realm cultivation did not match those of Young Masters from major powers.

However, Shen Qi found him pleasing to the eye and did not overprice it.

Nie Feiyang was immediately delighted upon hearing this; one hundred jin of divine marrow was within his acceptable range, which was excellent!

But just as Nie Feiyang was about to buy it, other Cultivators, hearing how cheap it was, naturally did not want to miss out.

"Shopkeeper, I offer one hundred and fifty jin of divine marrow! I am from the Black Fire Cult!"

A tall Cultivator with a fierce face immediately grabbed the earth qilin royal heart, not forgetting to cast a triumphant glance at Nie Feiyang.

"Nie Feiyang, your Nie Family has been in decline for many years. You, a good-for-nothing, still dream of Awakening an ancient Bloodline? Without divine marrow, you are nothing. Get lost!"

The Black Fire Cult was considered a considerable Sect, but among the vast number of Schools and powers in the Inner Sea, it could only be considered average.

Evidently, this fierce-faced fellow knew Nie Feiyang.

"Zhu Wen, it's you again!"

Nie Feiyang's face flushed, but his eyes showed an unyielding spirit.

"That's right, it's me again!"

"You waste, still thinking of cultivating? It's no longer a hundred years ago; your Nie Family can't return to its former glory!"

"However, your sister is still quite good. If she's willing to offer herself, perhaps you might live a better life, haha..."

Zhu Wen laughed loudly, preparing to stuff the earth qilin royal heart he held into his sumeru ring.

The surrounding Cultivators watching the commotion also looked on mockingly.

No one was a Saint; Zhu Wen's Black Fire Cult was nothing special, but no one would oppose Zhu Wen for a fallen scion.

To them, the earth qilin royal heart was not an overly valuable treasure.

Nie Feiyang clenched his fists, his face red, preparing to leave amidst the contempt of many Cultivators and Zhu Wen's insults.

Shen Qi shook his head; this fellow was unlucky to encounter an enemy.

However, he had no interest in these matters; how others fought over things was their business. He only cared about receiving enough divine marrow.

"Shen Qi, sell the earth qilin royal heart to this Young Master!"

Suddenly, Shen Qi heard Shen Tianxing's voice in his ear.

Although Shen Tianxing was not here, he was constantly monitoring everything that happened here.

Nie Feiyang was just an ordinary Cultivator, so Shen Tianxing naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to him. However, to Shen Tianxing's surprise, this Young Master was the only anomaly he had encountered since coming to the Sea of Buried Demons!

Anyone who had an interaction with him would leave information on the soul slaying platform, and Nie Feiyang was no exception!

The soul slaying platform showed that Nie Feiyang actually had no evil deeds!

Someone living in the Inner Sea of the Sea of Buried Demons actually had not a single wrongful death on his hands?

How peculiar was that?

How did he manage it?

With the main body's command, Shen Qi executed it without hesitation!

"Young Master, this earth qilin royal heart is yours!"

Amidst the mocking laughter of everyone, Shen Qi grabbed the earth qilin royal heart and directly tossed it to Nie Feiyang!

This action immediately made Zhu Wen's laughter come to an abrupt halt!

What's going on?!

I offered one hundred and fifty jin of divine marrow, a full fifty jin more than Nie Feiyang, and the Trading Firm actually ignored it?

And in front of so many people, making him lose face?

"Shopkeeper! What do you mean by this? Isn't your Trading Firm 'highest bidder wins'? I offered more divine marrow than him, so why did you sell it to him?"

"Are you not putting our Black Fire Cult in your eyes?"

As soon as Zhu Wen said this, the faces of the onlookers changed, and they all took a few steps back, creating distance from him, with expressions as if they didn't know him.

This guy was simply courting death, daring to speak like that in front of Shen Qi?

Even Old Devil Ke was annihilated by him!

Could a mere Black Fire Cult compare to Old Devil Ke?

Unfortunately, Zhu Wen arrived late; he hadn't witnessed Shen Qi's Divine Might and thought he was merely buying and selling in an ordinary Trading Firm, completely unaware that he was already in grave danger!

"Black Fire Cult? What kind of thing is that?"

A sinister smile appeared on Shen Qi's face, and he said, "My stuff, I sell to whomever I want. Can you control it?"

That's the Aura!

Old Devil Ke said something he shouldn't have, and that fierce person directly annihilated him!

Zhu Wen's face turned ugly, "Hmph, sell to whomever you want? You, a shop owner, have such a big mouth. I said this earth qilin royal heart is mine, then it's mine!"

Zhu Wen's large hand reached out towards Nie Feiyang, who was still in shock and trembling, grabbing him.

A Divine Profound Realm Cultivator's Aura was terrifying; this grab was enough to instantly kill Nie Feiyang on the spot.

"Scram!!!"

Bang—

Suddenly, a large, fan-like hand reached out, its speed immeasurably faster than Zhu Wen's strike!

A slap landed squarely on Zhu Wen's forehead, making his entire head twist. Zhu Wen himself turned into a streak of light, crashing through the second-floor window, and was sent flying out.

All actions were completed in an instant; Zhu Wen never returned!

The many Cultivators standing by, watching the commotion, all trembled in their legs, wishing they could slap themselves.

They had also laughed just now; would Shen Qi target them?

"Hey, Young Master, aren't you going to pay for the divine marrow? Do you intend to default on your payment?"

Shen Qi looked at Nie Feiyang with a half-smile, still curious about what was so special about this Young Master.

To actually make the main body speak personally, how interesting!

"Ah! Thank... Thank you, Shopkeeper. Your kindness, Nie Feiyang will never forget and will repay it later!"

Nie Feiyang almost cried.

A turn for the better!

Without Shen Qi's help, he definitely wouldn't have been able to obtain the earth qilin royal heart he wanted today, let alone dream of refining Medicinal Pills and Awakening the ancient Bloodline within him!

He deeply imprinted Shen Qi and the Never Look Back Merchant Guild in his heart, vowing to repay them in the future.

"Alright, take your things and leave quickly!"

"Be careful not to be targeted again!"

As he spoke, Shen Qi's gaze swept over the surrounding Cultivators, carrying a warning.

Nie Feiyang was not foolish; he understood that Shen Qi was helping him. After respectfully bowing, he quickly left... Many people had already witnessed Shen Qi's strength.

The Cultivators watching the commotion were not fools either; they knew that offending Shen Qi at this time would definitely not end well, so they all dismissed their thoughts.

Robbing a fallen scion was meaningless, and it was just an earth qilin royal heart.

After the excitement, many Cultivators continued their purchases. Shen Qi's actions naturally fell into the eyes of some Saints and Prodigies, but not many paid attention.

There were too many people inside the Trading Firm, and even more Cultivators waiting outside!

When there are many people, some naturally try to be clever, for example, by attempting to steal some inconspicuous treasures when Shen Liu and Shen Qi were not paying attention.

They were directly slapped out of the Trading Firm, and their sumeru rings were confiscated as compensation!

The moon was high in the sky, and the autumn chill deepened.

Time quietly reached night.

"That's all for today, everyone. Please come back tomorrow!"

After a day of business, almost all the treasures prepared in the shop had been sold out!

But the Cultivators queuing outside still stretched like a Dragon, not a single one leaving.

"What? Shopkeeper? Why are you closing? We Cultivators can still endure! Please continue to operate!"

"Yes, we've been waiting all day, Shopkeeper. We haven't bought anything yet!"

These Cultivators looked distressed; too many powers had come. For some smaller powers and Loose Cultivators, they simply couldn't get a good spot and had waited all day!

If an ordinary Trading Firm dared to do this, it would probably be thrown into chaos by so many Cultivators!

But they dared not; Shen Qi's terrifying killing methods from earlier in the day were still vivid in their minds. Who would dare to cause trouble?

Bang!

The main door slammed shut. Shen Liu didn't care about their complaints; when the shop opened and when it closed was up to him!

Dare to make a fuss and try!

"Alas, it seems we'll have to come early tomorrow. I just hope those from the major powers won't come again tomorrow!"

"I doubt it. Haven't you seen those Saints and Prodigies staying inside from day to night? They probably won't leave until they're satisfied."

"Who told the Never Look Back Merchant Guild to have so many resources? They even have Profound Weapon-grade armor and weapons. The Saint of the Yunxiao Sect even unexpectedly obtained a Body Refining method. If he hadn't paid the divine marrow first, he would probably have been snatched by the Saints of those top Sects!"

"Hehe, I don't think he'll necessarily live to keep it even if he got it. Don't forget, this is the Sea of Buried Demons!"

"Do you think those Saints from the top powers will be targeted?"

Yes!

This is the Sea of Buried Demons!

Many things here are not enough just because you have status. Even the Saints and Prodigies of those top Sects will be coveted!

The vast Inner Sea is not without powerful individuals; in fact, many Rootless Loose Cultivators possess terrifying strength!

There wasn't just one or two experts like Old Devil Ke!

It wasn't unheard of in the past for Saints of top Sects to be targeted by experts, killed for their treasures, and their bodies left in the wilderness!

In the Sea of Buried Demons, anything is possible!

... Suspended City!

A luxurious manor.

Two young figures sat opposite each other, an elegant banquet laid before them.

Both were very young; one was Zhong Moli, the Saint of Feiyu Hall, dressed in green, with an expressionless face!

The other Young Master looked even younger than Zhong Moli, but his noble Aura was no less than his!

The two were as dazzling as stars in the sky, yet both exuded a deep, restrained presence!

"Li Xingdou, what brings you to my place in the middle of the night?"

Zhong Moli looked at the Young Master before him, a hint of doubt flashing in his mind.

Li Xingdou, as the Saint of Canxing Hall, ranked among the top ten on the holy son ranking, had always kept to himself. Even Saints on the same ranking like him were not familiar with him!

He couldn't fathom why this guy would come to him in the middle of the night!

"Zhong Moli, you're still the same, always suspicious!"

Li Xingdou held a cup of wine, standing in the manor, his gaze directed into the distance. Before his eyes was the Suspended City, ablaze with countless lights, its inner beauty clearly visible.

"The Never Look Back Merchant Guild must have made a fortune today."

Whether intentionally or not, Li Xingdou said with a smile.

Zhong Moli was nonchalant, drinking his wine, "That's their capability. The divine marrow earned today alone probably surpasses what some top Sects could accumulate in ten years of hard work."

divine marrow mines are rare, and those discovered in the Inner Sea are mostly controlled by these top Sects.

Ten years of income added up is no small sum; anyone would be envious upon hearing it.

As Zhong Moli spoke, a surge of fervor unconsciously rose within him.

"Do you feel it?"

"Millions of jin of divine marrow, don't you feel a little tempted?"

Zhong Moli frowned upon hearing this.

How daring was this guy?

To actually covet the divine marrow of the Never Look Back Merchant Guild!

"Tempted, naturally tempted. However, instead of peeking at the divine marrow of the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, it's better to focus on other things!"

Hmm?

Li Xingdou looked at him in surprise.

Those who could become Saints of these top Sects were not fools!

He understood immediately.

"You want to target other people? Isn't that too fanciful?"

divine marrow is valuable, but the value of some treasures is no less than divine marrow, and their rarity is much higher than divine marrow!

Zhong Moli did not reveal his whereabouts all day, but that didn't mean he wasn't in the Trading Firm.

"Those guys are already our enemies; what if we target them?"

"Do you think that in this vast Suspended City, no one else is eyeing them?"

The 'them' Zhong Moli referred to were naturally the Saints of the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves; only those individuals were worthy of being mentioned by him.

The Saints of other so-called major powers were not even worthy of his attention.

Li Xingdou smiled, not without surprise, "My courage is great, but I didn't expect yours to be even greater!"

"I thought that after your failure with Old Seventh Ke, you would continue to target the Trading Firm. Now it seems I was mistaken."

"Compared to those arrogant fellows, the Never Look Back Merchant Guild is indeed a tougher nut to crack."

Zhong Moli's face suddenly turned cold.

An invisible Aura emanated from his body; the entire manor was filled with a gloomy, icy atmosphere, and the air seemed to solidify!

"Alright, getting angry at me is useless."

"I came here to seek your cooperation. Let's proceed with your idea, how about it?"

Unable to target the Never Look Back Merchant Guild, turning to deal with the Saints and Prodigies of those Six Mansions and Twelve Caves was a much more lucrative option, as the resources they purchased at the Trading Firm amounted to a huge sum!

This was far more cost-effective than dealing with the Trading Firm!

Zhong Moli pondered for a moment, then dispersed the Aura around him. After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he had an answer.

With their combined strength, the possibility of this venture succeeding was not low.

This deal was entirely feasible!
