85: Wu Thirteen of the Great Wu Chamber of Commerce
Li Haotian walked out of the Nine Provinces Business Association, always feeling that Nanyangzi was a bit too enthusiastic towards him.
Wenwen suddenly spoke, "Senior comes from the Tiannan Cultivation World and is so wealthy, truly amazing."
Li Haotian's heart stirred slightly. So that was it. Now he finally understood why Nanyangzi was so enthusiastic towards him.
"Wenwen, is being able to take out twelve spiritual origin crystals considered very wealthy?"
Wenwen smiled and explained, "Actually, many transactions in the Nascent Soul Stage generally use bartering. Very few people use spiritual origin crystals because cultivation above the Deity Transformation realm requires spiritual origin crystals."
"Therefore, under normal circumstances, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators can at most take out a few spiritual origin crystals."
"Such a generous display, Senior, only a few early Deity Transformation cultivators can afford to take out this many spiritual origin crystals."
Li Haotian was somewhat enlightened. No wonder the Old Man was so enthusiastic; it turned out he was treating him like a rich person.
Li Haotian was very clear about his own situation. Now he only had five and a half spiritual origin crystals left on him. How could he be that wealthy?
Although he had quite a few spirit herbs over ten thousand years old, he really didn't dare to take them out.
He originally thought ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs were very precious in the South Sea Cultivation World, but he didn't expect them to be very precious in the entire cultivation world.
"Wenwen, let's go and look at other business associations."
"Yes!, Senior."
After some comparison, Li Haotian finally decided that all three major business associations would sell spirit herbs, but he would need to change his appearance.
Li Haotian was very satisfied with his Super Disguise Technique and Supreme Breath Concealment Technique. As long as it wasn't the Refining Void Realm, he wouldn't be discovered at all.
Great Wu City seemed to have Refining Void cultivators, and even cultivators with higher cultivation levels. Li Haotian's Super Disguise Technique might not work.
With the Spiritual Stone Enhancement System, the Supreme Breath Concealment Technique could also be enhanced into a more advanced Invisibility Spell, so there would definitely be no problem.
Finally, Li Haotian asked, "Can we go and look at the Great Wizard Commerce Association? I wonder if the Witchcraft cultivators inside will be very exclusive?"
Wenwen shook her head and said, "Those who can enter the Great Wizard Commerce Association are basically not exclusive; they have a good impression of outsiders."
Li Haotian breathed a sigh of relief and followed Wenwen to the Great Wizard Commerce Association.
As expected, it was different. The geographical location of the Great Wizard Commerce Association was much better than the other three major business associations.
Also, the resources inside were mostly useful for the cultivation of Weren, with only a small portion useful for outsiders.
The manager of the Great Wizard Commerce Association saw Wenwen leading Li Haotian in, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Wenwen, out earning Spiritual Stones again?"
Wenwen respectfully said, "Yes!, Senior, Junior is earning some Spiritual Stones to buy Elixirs for cultivation."
The manager smiled and said, "You lass are still being polite with me. I watched you grow up. If you need anything, you can come directly to me."
It was clear that the two knew each other, and their relationship was quite good.
Wenwen respectfully nodded and said, "Senior, this Senior is from the Tiannan Cultivation World. You two talk first."
The manager smiled and said, "This one is Wu Thirteen. May I ask how to address Fellow Daoist?"
Li Haotian quickly said, "Greetings, Senior. Junior is Li Haotian. I just arrived at Great Wu City and want to see if there are any resources Junior needs here."
He could tell the other party's cultivation level at a glance. It was more powerful than the managers of the other three business associations, at the peak of the Deity Transformation realm.
Wu Thirteen smiled and said, "So you are an outsider friend. What do you need? We have Elixirs here that can improve your cultivation, such as Qingyuan Pill, Ziyuan Pill, and Deity Transformation Pill, etc."
Li Haotian's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Senior, how are the Ziyuan Pill and Deity Transformation Pill sold?"
Wu Thirteen smiled and said, "Ziyuan Pill can increase the Deity Transformation cultivation by one minor realm without side effects, requiring two spiritual origin crystals. Deity Transformation Pill requires three spiritual origin crystals."
Li Haotian sighed slightly. As expected, it was similar to the three major business associations. He then asked, "Then, Senior, do you accept ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs here, and what are the prices?"
Wu Thirteen smiled and said, "What I lack least in the Ten Thousand Mountains are ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs. But if you take out hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, I will buy them for fifty spiritual origin crystals per stalk. What do you think?"
How vast the Ten Thousand Mountains were! There were indeed many resources inside, and no small number of ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, but hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs were not many.
Even if other business associations sold hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs for fifty spiritual origin crystals, the price they paid for them was not fifty spiritual origin crystals.
Li Haotian had inquired. The price for selling hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs was forty spiritual origin crystals, directly ten less.
The price difference of ten spiritual origin crystals didn't seem like much, but it was actually already two-tenths less spiritual origin crystals. Li Haotian wasn't stupid and wouldn't do that.
He had already decided to sell hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs at the Great Wizard Commerce Association and ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs at other shops.
Li Haotian took out two jade boxes and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please appraise them and give Poor Daoist an estimate."
Wu Thirteen's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the jade boxes. After opening them and seeing the spirit herbs inside, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
"Hiss, hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year-old spirit herb? Two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year-old spirit herb?"
These two spirit herbs had actually reached hundred-and-fifty-thousand years and two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand years. Wu Thirteen waved his hand, and the gate of the Great Wizard Commerce Association closed.
Li Haotian was startled, and then his expression turned ugly.
Wu Thirteen quickly explained, "Fellow Daoist, don't reveal your wealth. The medicinal fragrance of these hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs is too strong and can easily be discovered by cultivators outside. Let's close the door and trade."
Li Haotian nodded slightly and asked, "How many spiritual origin crystals can these two spirit herbs sell for?"
Wu Thirteen smiled and said, "For the hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year-old spirit herb, I will offer you seventy-five spiritual origin crystals. For the two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year-old spirit herb, one hundred and twenty-five spiritual origin crystals. Fellow Daoist, are you willing?"
Seventy-five spiritual origin crystals, plus one hundred and twenty-five spiritual origin crystals, that's two hundred spiritual origin crystals in total.
"Hiss!"
Li Haotian secretly took a sharp breath and said with a smile, "Naturally, I can."
There was nothing he couldn't do. This kind of thing had to be possible because two hundred spiritual origin crystals was a very large fortune for him.
He originally thought the Great Wizard Commerce Association was very exclusive and difficult to deal with, but who knew he was wrong? The Great Wizard Commerce Association was not difficult to deal with, and the price for spirit herbs over hundred thousand years old was the highest among the major business associations.
Wu Thirteen smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's trade now."
Li Haotian had no objection, and the transaction was completed quickly.
After the transaction was completed, smiles of joy appeared on both their faces.
Wu Thirteen asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you need?"
With the spiritual origin crystals, Li Haotian was also full of confidence and asked with a smile, "How many Spiritual Stones for the Qingyuan Pill?"
Wu Thirteen said, "Qingyuan Pill is ten pills per bottle, one bottle is one spiritual origin crystal, or three thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stone."
Li Haotian nodded slightly. The ratio between Top-Grade Spirit Stone and spiritual origin crystals was unequal everywhere, especially for various resources.
"Give me three bottles of Qingyuan Pill, ten Deity Transformation Pills, and fifteen Ziyuan Pills."
Wu Thirteen's eyes gleamed and said, "It seems Fellow Daoist also has influence behind you. Buying these Elixirs is for cultivating your clansmen back home."
"Three bottles of Qingyuan Pill is three spiritual origin crystals, ten Deity Transformation Pills is thirty spiritual origin crystals, and fifteen Ziyuan Pills is thirty spiritual origin crystals, totaling sixty-three spiritual origin crystals."
Li Haotian said with some heartache, "Senior, let's trade."
The spiritual origin crystals he had just obtained were going to be spent by one-third again. How could he not feel heartache?
Wu Thirteen saw that Li Haotian was very generous and didn't say much more. The transaction was completed quickly.
Just as Li Haotian was about to leave, Wu Thirteen suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. You should be here to watch the grand competition, right? This is a VIP token. With it, you can enter the VIP seats to watch."
As he spoke, a token appeared in his hand and flew towards Li Haotian.
