Chapter 1073 1066: Deal Concluded
Inside the room, after approximately a dozen breaths in silence, a slender figure dressed in pale red entered.
It was Linglong, who had just stepped out.
"Dear friend, inside here are the twenty-two types of Third Grade Spirit Medicine you need, a total of twenty portions. Feel free to check."
Linglong said, handing the Storage Bag in her hand to Qin Yang.
From beneath the black cloak, a hand emerged and accepted the Storage Bag. Linglong's clear eyes still glanced at that somewhat youthful hand.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean much—some well-maintained experts have smooth and long hands as well.
"Not bad, it's what I need."
Beneath the black cloak, Qin Yang scanned the contents of the Storage Bag with his Divine Sense, then nodded and said.
"Dear friend, these twenty-two types of Spirit Medicine, each portion priced at four thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, total eighty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
Seeing the person beneath the black cloak having no objection, Linglong spoke.
"Miss Linglong, this dear friend holds a Golden VIP Token from our Celestial Permanence Commerce Association and can enjoy a ten percent discount."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the voice of a blue-robed elder actively chimed in from the inner chamber.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Linglong's clear eyes, and she gently nodded.
"Dear friend, with the Golden VIP Token from our Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, you can enjoy a ten percent discount, totaling seventy-two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
Linglong said to Qin Yang beneath the black cloak.
Don't underestimate this ten percent discount; after all, the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association is also profit-oriented, and suddenly exempting eight thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones is not a small amount.
"Alright, but I don't have many Lower Grade Spirit Stones left; I'll use Middle Grade Spirit Stones to pay the seventy thousand, and for the remaining two thousand, I'll use Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
Beneath the black cloak, Qin Yang nodded and said.
He didn't have many Lower Grade Spirit Stones left, but he still had a few thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones from the day he killed Xue Kuang, from Xue Kuang's Storage Bag.
Saying this, Qin Yang moved his Heart and Spirit, and seven hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones, emitting rich Spiritual Energy, floated out from Qin Yang's Storage Bag.
"Middle Grade Spirit Stones?"
Upon hearing this, Linglong's clear eyes blinked, gazing at the floating Middle Grade Spirit Stones in mid-air.
"Since dear friend pays with Middle Grade Spirit Stones, Linglong shall waive the remaining two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones for you."
In terms of conversion, one Middle Grade Spirit Stone can be worth a hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones. However, the Spiritual Energy in Middle Grade Spirit Stones is slightly purer, so typically, even in the black market, one Middle Grade Spirit Stone is valued slightly higher than a hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
"Hmm."
Beneath the black cloak, Qin Yang gave a nod, as she voluntarily waived two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which couldn't be refused.
"The transaction is complete; I'll take my leave now."
Qin Yang simply said, then stepped out.
"Take care."
Linglong gently nodded her forehead, watching the figure disappear from the stairway on the third floor before looking away.
With a creak, the wooden door of the inner chamber was pushed open, and a silhouette of an elder in blue robes walked out from the chamber.
The blue-robed elder had an ageless face and ruddy skin, clearly well-maintained.
"Master Yan."
Seeing the blue-robed elder, Linglong said.
"Mm."
The blue-robed elder nodded and took a glance at the direction the black cloak had just departed.
"Master Yan, why does that person possess our Celestial Permanence Commerce Association's Golden VIP Token?"
Linglong's clear eyes slightly narrowed and said.
"I just gave it to him."
Master Yan replied.
Then, Master Yan recounted what happened in the room after Linglong left.
"He immediately noticed Master Yan's 'Gaze-Fixing Skill'?"
After listening to Master Yan's account, a shadow of surprise flashed in Linglong's eyes.
Master Yan is a high-level Third Grade Alchemist and a strong cultivator at the Peak of Immortal Spirit Realm; his Divine Sense far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators. His Spiritual Skill, 'Gaze-Fixing Skill,' is very secretive.
Those black cloaks are made from special materials that can prevent ordinary Divine Sense probing, but cannot fully block Master Yan's 'Gaze-Fixing Skill.'
However, this time Master Yan had just deployed it, and it was immediately noticed.
"Hmm, I was curious about the extraordinary Spirit Medicine he purchased, so I had a thought to see who is beneath that black cloak, but didn't expect to get discovered and have my 'Gaze-Fixing Skill' destroyed."
Master Yan's eyes bore a hint of gravity, speaking in a low voice.
"Master Yan, the Fourth Grade Spirit Medicine he purchased is indeed unusual, along with so many Third Grade Spirit Medicine. I wonder what kind of Elixir he plans to refine?"
Linglong's clear eyes blinked, revealing a trace of contemplation. Buying such a vast array of precious Spirit Medicine at once is evidently not for personal consumption but for refining Elixirs.
"Alchemy Grass, Chasing Moon Fruit, Purple Mysterious Fire Mushroom, Seven-leaf Snow Lotus, Guiyuan Flower..."
Master Yan mumbled the Spirit Medicine purchased by the mysterious black-cloaked person, a sharp glint flashing in old eyes.
"Miss Linglong, if I'm not mistaken, he intends to refine... Venerable-Breaking Pill!"
Master Yan looked at Linglong in a pale red garment, the tone turning more solemn, and said.
"Venerable-Breaking Pill?!"
Upon hearing this, Linglong's clear eyes also tightened, the ethereal voice carrying a hint of surprise.
"Master Yan, that's a Fourth Grade Elixir, and not just any Fourth Grade Elixir. This Venerable-Breaking Pill can only be refined by Fourth Grade Alchemists."
Linglong's gaze shifted to Master Yan and said.
"Yes, this Venerable-Breaking Pill is extraordinary, and the Spirit Medicine he purchased should all be primary ingredients for refining the Venerable-Breaking Pill. As far as I know, only a few top Fourth Grade Alchemists in the Royal Capital and my master can refine it."
Master Yan said solemnly.
"Master Yan, if that person is indeed a Fourth Grade Alchemist, then isn't he..."
Linglong's clear eyes blinked and said.
A Fourth Grade Alchemist, within the entire Great Xia Dynasty, regardless of which power, is a presence that cannot be ignored. In the vast Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, only three Fourth Grade Alchemists exist.
"Likely so. His Divine Sense was sharp; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the liberty to give him the Golden VIP Token and even apologized to him."
A trace of gravity appeared on Master Yan's face, nodding as he spoke.
As a high-level Third Grade Alchemist, he holds a respected reputation in Celestial Cyan City, even a Marquis would give him some face.
"If that person truly is a Fourth Grade Alchemist, then perhaps he hasn't gone far yet, so should we..."
Linglong's clear eyes sparkled, a hint of consideration showing.
A Fourth Grade Alchemist is someone even the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association needs to win over. Having encountered him yet missed the chance seems a pity; if they can win him over to become a Tributor Alchemist, the expense would be worthwhile.
"He came wearing a black cloak, obviously not wanting to stir trouble; going to call him back now or tracking him would be inappropriate."
Master Yan gently shook his head.
"However, fortunately, while I acted somewhat recklessly, I didn't antagonize him. Our Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, with its comprehensive array of Spirit Medicines, if he remains in Celestial Cyan City and needs Spirit Medicine, he should still visit our Celestial Permanence Commerce Association. When that time comes, we'll make him feel welcome and see if we can win him over."
Light sparkled in Master Yan's old eyes, looking at Linglong as he spoke.
"Master Yan makes sense; with your advice, I will instruct accordingly. When that worthy senior returns, we'll personally welcome him."
Upon hearing this, Linglong lightly nodded her forehead, her voice carrying a trace of solemnity, and said.
