Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2078 1508: The Deal

The spirit seed Li Zhirui pointed out is actually not considered very precious; on the contrary, it's rather useless.

Originally, the grade of the spirit seed should have been at the Profound Immortal Rank. However, for some unknown reason, its shell was damaged, leaking its precious spiritual mechanism.

Even though it was later sealed by a secret technique, it only slowed down the leakage of the spiritual mechanism, unable to stop it entirely.

In other words, while this spirit seed appears to be quite valuable, in reality, it's already on the verge of becoming a dead seed.

Logically, no one would purchase it.

But Li Zhirui happens to have a mysterious space that gives him a good chance to rejuvenate this spirit seed, allowing it to take root and sprout.

If successful, he would obtain a Profound Immortal Rank Spiritual Object. Even if it ultimately fails, his losses wouldn't be significant, just some spirit crystals.

"Two hundred spirit crystals." The vendor didn't expect anyone to purchase the worthless spirit seed he casually displayed and immediately quoted a relatively high price.

Of course, if it were an intact Profound Immortal Rank spirit seed, even ten times that price wouldn't suffice to acquire it.

"Too expensive." But since this spirit seed is already a dead seed…

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "Thirty spirit crystals. If you're unwilling, forget it."

"One hundred, this is at least a Profound Immortal Rank spirit seed..."

"If not, I wouldn't want to pay even ten spirit crystals."

Seeing the vendor still hesitating, Li Zhirui impatiently turned to leave.

"Wait! I'll sell it for thirty spirit crystals." Seeing that the other party was not bluffing, the vendor quickly nodded in agreement.

After all, if he doesn't take advantage of the remaining value of the spirit seed, once all its spiritual mechanism dissipates, it would truly become worthless and a burden to keep in a space treasure. At least he can earn thirty spirit crystals.

Li Zhirui didn't say much, taking out thirty spirit crystals and handing them over, casually placing the spirit seed into his space and instructing the devil spirits to take good care of it before resuming his stroll.

"Excuse me, sir! Do you need any more damaged spirit seeds with dissipating spiritual mechanisms?" The vendor suddenly called out to him, revealing his intent.

"Oh?"

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrow slightly and asked, "Do you have more spirit seeds like this?"

"These useless..."

Realizing that the person in front of him was interested in purchasing damaged spirit seeds, the vendor reluctantly changed his wording, saying, "Spirit seeds, I naturally don't have any more."

"However, I've been in the commerce for thousands of years. While I can't say I know everyone well, I have quite a few connections among my peers. Some of them have occasionally acquired a few damaged spirit seeds, even those of the Taiyi Tier."

"If you need them, I can contact them for you. Just pay me some commission, and that'll do."

The vendor smiled slyly, resembling a cunning merchant.

"Profound Immortal Rank spirit seeds can be settled at thirty spirit crystals, Golden Immortal Rank and Taiyi Tier at two hundred and five hundred respectively, and if there are Daluo Tier spirit seeds, no less than five thousand spirit crystals."

Li Zhirui pondered for a moment before replying, "As for the commission, it starts at five hundred spirit crystals. If you bring in enough spirit seeds, the amount can increase, and I'll give you seven days. How about it?"

"Alright! It's a deal!" The vendor agreed without hesitation.

He understood the unspoken implication: the other party wouldn't care how much he bought the spirit seeds for; he would purchase at the agreed prices.

Handled properly, there could be considerable profit in this, more than his regular sales of Spiritual Objects would generate.

"I only want spirit seeds where the spiritual mechanism hasn't completely dissipated, and life remains!" Li Zhirui reminded him, lest he brings in a large number of dead seeds, forcing him to spend his spirit crystals.

"Of course! I'm an honest merchant and would never engage in deceitful practices," the vendor said proudly.

To this, Li Zhirui merely smirked, not bothering to say more.

"Then let's sign the contract."

With just a thought, a piece of Spirit Paper emitting spirit light appeared in Li Zhirui's hand, inscribed with a cloud seal and the content of their earlier conversation.

This naturally was a method of the Chaos Commerce.

In addition, their previous conversation would not be overheard by outsiders, a mechanism to protect buyers and sellers.

The vendor thoroughly reviewed it and, seeing no issues, left a trace of his aura on it.

Buzz—

The Spirit Paper suddenly emitted spirit light, signifying the contract's establishment. It then split into three parts, falling into their hands, with the last piece stored by the Chaos Commerce, to serve as evidence in case of future disputes.

"Then I look forward to your performance!"

Saying this, Li Zhirui turned to leave.

"Hmph! I'll see if I can drain you dry!"

Hearing this, the vendor, quite defiant, resolved to fully leverage his skills.

Without further ado, he left the stall and headed somewhere.

...

Li Zhirui, not in the mood to continue browsing, decided to find an inn to stay at first.

"Jiu, the transaction you just made wasn't cheap. Do you have enough spirit crystals for it?" Qing Si, who had remained silent before, suddenly asked with some curiosity.

"No."

Li Zhirui admitted directly, having just entered The Void, he couldn't have amassed many spirit crystals.

The spirit crystals used earlier to purchase those Spiritual Objects were mostly earned using the Purification Principle from a senior, and there weren't many left now.
