301: negotiation!

According to the market, one lieyang stone is worth one thousand spiritual energy primordial stones.

Even if lieyang stones are extremely precious.

If Guo Feng possesses so many at once, and the other party wishes to buy them, they could simply raise the price a little.

However, he demands a unit price of one thousand five hundred spiritual energy primordial stones.

That's too expensive!

Yanshan Lang quickly shook his head, "Young Master Guo, I'm truly sorry, but your price is too high; we cannot afford such a high price."

He paused, "We will take all one thousand lieyang stones, for a maximum of one point one million spiritual energy primordial stones."

"Don't be in a hurry."

Guo Feng smiled and, with a wave of his hand, a strengthening fruit appeared before Yanshan Lang, "This is an eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruit. Generally speaking, to break through from the seventh-grade limit to the eighth-grade only requires one. However, to break through from the eighth-grade limit to the ninth-grade requires three to four."

"I have five here in total. I plan to give one to you to try, then auction off two, and keep two for myself."

He paused, "Of course, the precondition for you to auction them is that you must purchase my lieyang stones at the price I just mentioned."

He had a calm expression, filled with an actor's sense of conviction.

Eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruit!

What a terrifying name!

In reality, he just came up with it on the spot.

The quantity he mentioned was still based on Li Chi's estimate for breaking through from the eighth-grade limit to the ninth-grade.

"Eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruit?!"

As expected, just the name alone shocked Yanshan Lang.

One must know that many experts get stuck at the limit realm, sometimes for several years, or even over a decade.

This seems to be a test from the heavens for humanity.

In this world, anything that can break through a limit bottleneck is extremely precious.

The higher the grade, the more precious it is.

It is a supreme treasure needed by all experts and factions.

"This, this has already exceeded my authority."

Yanshan Lang stammered a bit, quickly stood up, "Young Master Guo, please wait a moment, I will go invite our Great Deacon."

"Go ahead."

Guo Feng waved his hand, very satisfied with Yanshan Lang's unworldly reaction.

Yanshan Lang left.

After a short while, he returned with a middle-aged man.

This man's aura was extraordinary.

He was at the seventy-ninth-grade limit!

As soon as this man entered, he cupped his hands towards Guo Feng and smiled, "Young Master Guo, I am Li Yun, the Great Deacon of Yan Shan Treasure Pavilion!"

"I've heard much about your reputation, but I didn't expect us to meet so soon!"

As he spoke, he had already walked in front of Guo Feng.

His face was beaming with a spring-like warmth.

In reality, he was usually the bane of Yan Shan Treasure Pavilion!

Because he was famously strict and rather harsh on his subordinates.

"Li Yun?"

Guo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Are you from the Li family? The Li with the wood radical?"

"Young Master Guo is indeed well-informed!"

Li Yun nodded quickly, "I am indeed a descendant of the Li clan, a second-grade royal family from Liwang City!"

"Hello."

Guo Feng cupped his hands; he hadn't expected to encounter someone named Li in this Yanshan City.

He then waved his hand, "Let's get back to business."

He pointed to the strengthening fruit, "What do you say about this matter?"

Li Yun smiled, "Yanshan Lang has already told me. If Young Master Guo can truly produce three eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruits, we will purchase the one thousand lieyang stones for one point five million spiritual energy primordial stones!"

He paused, "However, I have never seen this eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruit before, so I need to test it."

"Feel free to take it and test it. Afterwards, you can pay me the spiritual energy primordial stones according to the auction price."

Guo Feng said calmly.

"Good!"

Li Yun was actually a bit excited.

He had been stuck at the seventh-grade ninth-level limit for several years, unable to break through no matter what.

Now, he could conveniently use the excuse of testing this eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruit to prioritize using this one eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruit.

If he didn't break through, it would mean Guo Feng's spiritual fruit was fake.

If he did break through, he would make a huge profit.

Seventh-grade ninth-level and eighth-grade first-level are completely different concepts.

Once he reached the eighth-grade, he could even return to Liwang City and secure a position as a Great City Lord.

He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Young Master Guo, please wait a moment."

He paused, "Don't worry, I will never embezzle your spiritual fruit."

Guo Feng chuckled, "Go ahead, no harm done. If you dare to embezzle my spiritual fruit, I'll just smash your Treasure Pavilion."

"Uh..."

Li Yun's mouth twitched, but then he remembered that Guo Feng had injured General Luhe at the city gate.

And confronted the City Lord.

He understood that Guo Feng was an arrogant and overbearing individual.

It was best not to provoke him if possible.

He smiled, "Young Master Guo is right, please excuse me for a moment!"

After saying that, he took Guo Feng's strengthening fruit and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Yanshan Lang accompanied Guo Feng, strolling around the Yan Shan Treasure Pavilion, introducing the items there to Guo Feng.

After a full tour.

Guo Feng couldn't help but sigh that different paths of civilizational development indeed lead to different outcomes.

Earth's civilization was clearly technologically inclined.

While the Chaos Continent's civilization was more cultivation-oriented.

Therefore, although their technology tree wasn't impressive, their achievements in cultivation were much stronger than Earth's civilization.

For example, elixirs.

Guo Feng discovered that the variety of elixirs here was very complete, such as qi refining elixirs, body refining elixirs, spiritual energy recovery elixirs, and healing elixirs—they had everything.

From first-grade to eighth-grade, they corresponded to the use of individuals of various grades.

Therefore, ordinary people here practiced cultivation using spiritual energy primordial stones, some used lieyang stones, but most used qi refining elixirs.

However, the prices were naturally expensive.

There were also spiritual energy tools.

Spiritual energy tools also corresponded to first-grade to ninth-grade.

In short, the higher the grade, the stronger the combat power and the greater the amplification.

However, using a spiritual energy tool beyond one's own grade consumed a great deal of energy and sometimes could be counterproductive.

Guo Feng also managed to elicit information that fourth-grade spiritual energy tools were already extremely rare.

For example, Blazing Sun Taiyun's spiritual energy tool was only first-grade.

And Blazing Sun Taiyun was already a seventh-grade expert.

Of course, this was also because Blazing Sun Taiyun was poor and needed to save spiritual energy primordial stones to join a large family or sect.

Only those who were particularly wealthy, such as the young masters of the City Lord's Mansion, could use spiritual energy tools commensurate with their own grade.

Spiritual energy tools are very expensive!

There were also some daily necessities, such as travel tools, some resembling magical treasures like flying spiritual energy treasures.

These were even more expensive.

They were often five to ten times the price of spiritual energy tools of the same grade, so those who possessed flying spiritual energy treasures were either from large families or were super-rich.

Many flying spiritual energy tools were two or three times the flying speed of demonic beasts of the same grade.

Some were even ten times!

Although Guo Feng remained outwardly calm throughout, even appearing somewhat unimpressed.

In reality, he was very excited.

He could completely secretly procure things here and take them back to enhance the strength of Huaguo.

Of course, all of this needed long-term planning.

After all, it was too expensive!

Even with his millions of spiritual energy primordial stones, he couldn't buy much at all.

Before long, they returned to the VIP room.

As soon as they entered, Li Yun walked in with two men, looking mournful.

And when Guo Feng saw these two men.

He wasn't surprised.

One was Yanshan Star River's eldest son, Yan Mountain Might.

The other, whose aura was powerful and had already reached the eighth-grade, Guo Feng didn't recognize.

Yan Mountain Might cupped his hands towards Guo Feng and smiled, "Young Master Guo, we meet again. I didn't expect you to possess such a supreme treasure. I'd like to discuss something with you."

He paused, then with an expectant look, "I am willing to pay a high price to acquire the remaining eighth-grade breakthrough spiritual fruit in your possession!"

"No!"

Guo Feng, however, flatly refused on the spot!

Yan Mountain Might and the man who came with him, behind him, couldn't help but have their expressions darken!

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy!
