Chapter 203: Purchase Request

Several days after the negotiation between Ye Qingxuan and Cheng Yuan.

Another person arrived at Mount Wanling to request an audience with Ye Qingxuan.

This person was Bai Qing'an, the Deputy Head of the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion, who had previously visited Mount Wanling once.

Watching Bai Qing'an who had just stepped into the main hall, Ye Qingxuan smiled lightly and said, "Pavilion Head Bai, I wonder what brings you to seek this City Lord this time?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, Bai Qing'an took a deep breath, dared not conceal anything, and directly clasped his fists, bowed, and spoke:

"Qing'an pays respects to the City Lord. This time, Qing'an has come to request the purchase of a Dao-Realizing Pill from the City Lord."

Compared to before, Bai Qing'an's attitude in meeting Ye Qingxuan this time was much more humble.

The Dao-Realizing Pill could increase his success rate of breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm by ten percent without side effects, so Bai Qing'an naturally desired it immensely.

Although he failed to win the Dao-Realizing Pill at the auction, Bai Qing'an did not believe that the pill was the only one in Dongxuan City.

Especially after witnessing the last two items auctioned at the Dongxuan Auction.

Bai Qing'an was convinced that the Dao-Realizing Pill was definitely crafted by the power behind Dongxuan City itself.

Therefore, he came to Mount Wanling again to request the purchase of the Dao-Realizing Pill.

Ye Qingxuan looked at Bai Qing'an, who was still bowing, pondered for a moment, and said indifferently, "Rise. If you want the Dao-Realizing Pill, it is not impossible."

"The question is, what price are you willing to offer to move me?"

Hearing this, Bai Qing'an suddenly raised his head.

First, he felt joy, then fell into inner conflict.

Finally, Bai Qing'an gritted his teeth and spoke:

"The auction price of the Dao-Realizing Pill was one million high-grade spirit stones. I am willing to offer 1. million high-grade spirit stones. I beg the City Lord to grant my request."

Given his status as Deputy Head of the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.

If he borrowed internally, borrowing four or five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones would not be a problem.

Combined with the spirit stones he had saved from his daily cultivation, gathering 1. million high-grade spirit stones should be sufficient.

A hint of a smile flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes, and he nodded:

"Agreed, but I do not want spirit stones. I only want spirit mines."

"Spirit mines?"

"That is correct, spirit mines. Moreover, I only want one square unit of each type of spirit mine. Come find me when you have gathered spirit mines worth 1. million high-grade spirit stones!"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words.

Although Bai Qing'an did not understand why Ye Qingxuan made this request, he did not speak up to bargain.

This request might be difficult for others.

But for Bai Qing'an, it was not a difficult matter.

As the Deputy Head of the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion, using the Treasure Pavilion to collect various spirit mines was an easy task for him.

Suppressing his doubts, after bidding farewell to Ye Qingxuan.

Bai Qing'an left Dongxuan City without delay, heading towards the direction of the Treasure Pavilion's Main Pavilion.

After the Dongxuan Auction, Dongxuan City could gradually get back on track.

Daily profits were steadily rising.

Seeing the timing was ripe, Ye Qingxuan, through Dongxuan City, began to release missions to outsiders to purchase various spirit mines.

For any spirit mine not yet recorded by Dongxuan City, the contribution points earned would be doubled.

Once this policy was announced, more and more rogue cultivators accepted the spirit mine missions, and they became increasingly active.

Being one step ahead of others could mean earning double the rewards.

This made it hard for rogue cultivators around Dongxuan City not to be active.

As time passed, detailed information about what happened at the Dongxuan Auction spread further and further.

More and more rogue cultivators had rushed to Dongxuan City, choosing to list Dongxuan City as one of their development areas.

Rogue cultivators who were already staying in Dongxuan City even began to successively purchase buildings in the mortal district of Dongxuan City.

These people were preparing to treat Dongxuan City as one of their hidden residences.

As rogue cultivators, they naturally would not foolishly trust others and place all their assets in one location.

What most rogue cultivators trusted was always only themselves.

Otherwise, they would not have continued to survive in the rogue cultivator world.

So generally, these rogue cultivators would have two or three hidden residences. However, even though these rogue cultivators would not settle in Dongxuan City for a long time.

The gathering of rogue cultivators would still bring immense benefits to Dongxuan City.

As rogue cultivators, to survive well, one could not rely on only one source of income.

Most rogue cultivators basically practiced the four arts of cultivation alongside their main path.

In addition, rogue cultivators' experience in hunting demonic beasts, searching for spiritual herbs, and finding spirit mines was far greater than that of cultivators from other factions.

Therefore, the gathering of rogue cultivators could bring a large amount of raw materials to Dongxuan City.

Allowing Ye Qingxuan to not have to worry about low-grade raw materials.

The few rogue cultivators who bought houses in the mortal district of Dongxuan City had detected several low-grade spirit mine veins near Dongxuan City.

After reporting the locations of these spirit mines to Dongxuan City and submitting the missions.

They earned enough contribution points to buy the houses.

Surviving near powerful figures was the norm for low-grade rogue cultivators.

After Dongxuan City subtly revealed its hidden depth through the Dongxuan Auction, its attraction to those rogue cultivators was extremely strong.

Even rogue cultivators hoped to leave a foothold for themselves in a safe and stable city as a way out.

And the recently emerged Dongxuan City undoubtedly met the requirements of these rogue cultivators.

Add to that the permanent property rights to houses in Dongxuan City, and it is hard not to tempt these wandering cultivators.

Especially those wandering cultivators who have enjoyed one miraculous encounter after another and are not short of money.

With ample cultivation resources at their disposal, they had long grown weary of a life of fighting where survival from one day to the next was never guaranteed.

Now, they only seek a safe and stable place to cultivate well, hoping to break through to a higher realm.

So, upon hearing information about Dongxuan City, these cultivators who possessed miraculous encounters.

Had already prepared to set out for Dongxuan City to investigate, to see if the city matched the rumors.

Compared to the rumors, these wandering cultivators with notable experiences preferred to trust what they saw with their own eyes.

Among them was Li Changsheng, who had already reached the Jin Dan realm.

Gazing at the city in the distance, Li Changsheng said softly:

"So this is the Dongxuan City causing such a stir outside? There is nothing particularly special about it!"

After speaking, Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and decided to enter the interior of Dongxuan City to see the specific situation first.

Upon entering the city gate of Dongxuan City, Li Changsheng paused for a moment, looked at the giant stele before him, and smiled: "The Laws of Dongxuan? Interesting!"

Shortly after, he passed through a teleportation array and entered the Dongxuan Market.

Walking aimlessly and taking a glance around, seeing many ordinary mortals setting up stalls within the market, a hint of surprise appeared in Li Changsheng's eyes.

Approaching the stall of an ordinary mortal, Li Changsheng pointed at a group of lively spiritual birds and asked:

"Shopkeeper, how much for these Eight Treasures Chickens?"

The owner of the stall was an old man with no cultivation base.

Looking at the inquiring Li Changsheng, the old man said with a chuckle:

"Young man, these Eight Treasures Chickens are one of the specialties of our Dongxuan City. They cost only twenty low-grade spirit stones each."

The Eight Treasures Chicken is actually not expensive.

In Dongxuan City, the exchange price for an Eight Treasures Chicken chick is four contribution points.

The Eight Treasures Chickens feed on the weeds containing spiritual energy that grow within Dongxuan City.

Therefore, the cost of the Eight Treasures Chicken is not high, and most residents of Dongxuan City sell them to outsiders for twenty low-grade spirit stones each.

Hearing the stall owner call him "young man" without any fear.

Li Changsheng felt a strange sensation rise in his heart and thought with a smile: "This Dongxuan City seems not bad after all."

Looking at the ten Eight Treasures Chickens on the old man's stall, Li Changsheng spoke:

"I will take all of these Eight Treasures Chickens."

After spending two hundred low-grade spirit stones to purchase the ten Eight Treasures Chickens.

Li Changsheng arrived at the administration office of the Dongxuan Market.

"Hello, I wish to rent a shop in the Dongxuan Market. What are the requirements?"
