Chapter 558

Immortality Starts from Being an Alchemy Grandmaster, Main Text Volume, Chapter 571: Seeing Tianxuan Sells Treasures, Heavenly Origin Trade Alliance, on a remote street in Jade Cold City.

A woman with a hint of arrogance in her brows stopped her pace.

Looking up at the gold-stamped signboard.

【Gold Pier Shop】

Comparing it with a name in her memory, she blinked and walked in.

A waiter came up to greet her, and before the other party could introduce, the woman got straight to the point.

"I have a batch of demon beast materials here; do you accept them?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Our Gold Pier Shop does accept materials from demon beast bodies, but if the grade is low..."

Before the other party could finish, the woman flicked her wrist, and a huge crab pincer appeared in her hand.

The rich demon energy immediately spread out.

Causing many guests in the shop to look over.

The waiter widened his eyes, "The pincer of a third-tier Azure Emperor Crab, this..."

"Do you accept it?"

"Accept, of course we accept!"

Materials from a third-tier Demon King, and the sharpest crab pincer at that; if taken to refine magic tools or magic treasures, it is definitely the first choice.

How could their shop refuse?

However, before he could offer a price, the woman patted the storage bag at her waist.

"I have many more here; if you can give a satisfactory price, they are all yours."

There's more!

And a lot!

The waiter swallowed his saliva; this kind of business was no longer something he, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, could negotiate.

Without hesitation, he gestured an invitation.

"Senior, please go to the backyard! I will notify the shopkeeper immediately, and he will come to negotiate this business with you personally."

The woman gave an 'en' and stepped into the backyard of the shop without any scruples.

Before long, a middle-aged man with a glowing face trotted into the backyard.

Seeing the woman for the first time, he adjusted his demeanor and said respectfully: "I am Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong, the shopkeeper of the Gold Pier Shop. May I ask how to address you, Fellow Daoist?"

"Seeing Tianxuan."

"So it is Fellow Daoist Seeing Tianxuan." Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong smiled, "I heard that you have the pincer of a third-tier Azure Emperor Crab, and the quantity is not small?"

Seeing Tianxuan didn't answer, just threw it casually.

The next moment.

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground echoed continuously in the small courtyard.

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong stared blankly at the mountain of demon beast materials piled up in the courtyard.

Crab pincers, crab legs.

One by one, pair by pair, ferocious yet carrying a strange beauty.

The rich demon energy piled up in one place, almost shooting into the sky.

If it weren't for the shielding array in the backyard that isolates the internal and external atmosphere, I don't know how many people's attention it would have attracted.

But even so, Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was shocked.

Second-tier demon crabs!

Almost 90% of the demon crab materials were of second-tier quality, and basically all came from Azure Emperor Crabs.

There was also a complete set of third-tier Azure Emperor Crab materials.

Densely packed, almost filling the entire courtyard, and the woman named Seeing Tianxuan even showed dissatisfaction on her face, seemingly still unsatisfied.

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Fellow Daoist Seeing Tianxuan, could it be that you slaughtered an Azure Emperor Crab tribe?"

Seeing Tianxuan glanced at him, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask; check the goods and offer a price!"

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong nodded repeatedly but didn't check immediately.

Instead, he sent a sound transmission in front of Seeing Tianxuan.

Only then did he explain to Seeing Tianxuan:

"The quantity is a bit large; with my own strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish counting until dark. I have notified two clansmen to come and count together; please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist."

Seeing Tianxuan had no objection, her hands behind her back.

"Then you count first; I'll go and look around your shop. After you finish counting, we'll talk about this business."

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong was stunned; is she really this trusting?

If nothing else, if this business is negotiated, the initial transaction amount would be over 500,000 spirit stones, yet the other party is so careless.

However, since the other party is so trusting, he has no objection.

He immediately notified the previous Qi Refining waiter to receive Seeing Tianxuan one-on-one and led her to stroll around the Gold Pier Shop.

"Senior, this magic tool is called the Gold-Breaking Axe. Although it is only at the high-grade level, in terms of attack intensity, it is by no means inferior to the top-grade attack magic tools of the water, earth, and wood systems, and the price is also very suitable; it only needs 4,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"This is the Quicksand Horn Blade, divided into a pair of main and auxiliary blades, reaching the top-grade magic tool level. The Quicksand Blade is responsible for defense, and the Curved Horn Blade is responsible for attack; it is a rare weapon that combines attack and defense. Every day, Foundation Establishment cultivators come to ask for the price, but the high price of 8,000 low-grade spirit stones makes many people flinch. With your wealth, Senior, taking this treasure is more than enough."

Listening to the waiter's introduction, Seeing Tianxuan nodded repeatedly.

As expected of human cultivators!

The utilization of external objects has reached its peak, which is by no means comparable to ordinary demon clans.

Just the several magic tools the other party introduced in a short time, after her appraisal, she felt they were quite powerful.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator obtains them and refines them well, ordinary second-tier demon beasts will inevitably suffer a big loss once they encounter them.

Speaking of which.

She also possesses a human body, and refining magic tools is much more convenient than for demon beasts.

Perhaps she could get a handy weapon.

In the future, if she encounters battle-related matters, she can also help the Master more.

She paused and asked, "Does your shop have magic treasures?"

"This..." The waiter was a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Tianxuan frowned and said directly, "As far as I know, the Gold Pier Shop has business dealings with several casting workshops in Cold Light, so you can't possibly not have even one magic treasure to suppress the shop, right?"

The waiter waved his hands repeatedly.

Just at this moment, a sound transmission entered his ears, and after listening, he felt relieved.

"If Senior wants to purchase magic treasures, it's not impossible, but you need to report your background and master."

"Hmm?" Seeing Tianxuan made a questioning sound.

The waiter gritted his teeth and explained, "Senior, rest assured, the Gold Pier Shop will never leak that information. The reason for this requirement is that there are too many outside cultivators pouring into Cold Light Island recently, and Jade Cold City does not prohibit fighting and killing. If a demon or robber buys a handy weapon and instead kills the family cultivator who forged the magic treasure, that would be troublesome. Therefore, the major forces that hand over magic treasures to us for sale have this condition. Ordinary magic tools are fine, but magic treasures must count the situation of the purchaser to facilitate tracking after an incident."

Is this a self-protection method for local cultivators?

Seeing Tianxuan was noncommittal.

"Take me to see them first!"

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and took Seeing Tianxuan to the second floor.

Someone was already prepared above, taking out two magic treasures of good quality.

One water and one earth, their powers were different.

Especially that water-system magic treasure, which had a three-point amplification effect on the magic power of water-system Core Formation cultivators.

After Seeing Tianxuan finished looking seriously, under the expectant gaze of the shop waiter, she waved her hand.

"Forget it, it doesn't quite suit me."

"Uh..."

Ignoring the waiter's disappointment, Seeing Tianxuan went downstairs.

Indeed, although these two magic treasures were good, they really didn't suit her.

Seeing Tianxuan's true form is the Seeing Tianxuan Fighting Gull, born with an affinity for wind, metal, and water systems.

If divided according to the spiritual root theory of human cultivators, she possesses metal and water dual spiritual roots, and a wind-system variant spiritual root.

Logically, that water-system magic treasure should suit her very well.

But after years of cultivation, she is most proficient in wind-system means.

Whether it was the gale sweeping, wind vortex stirring, or even spawning small-scale tornadoes she performed before, they all belong to this category.

Therefore, she wanted a magic treasure with wind-attribute amplification more.

While Seeing Tianxuan took the opportunity to "shop" and increase her knowledge, the work of counting the demon crab materials in the backyard was gradually coming to an end.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounded the large batch of materials arranged according to quality, chatting quietly while identifying them.

"This is a big batch of goods!"

"After getting them, whether supplying them to those casting workshops or selling them through the trade fair, my Gongsun Qian family can make a big profit."

"Profit is definitely possible, but how much profit is worth discussing."

"Fifth Uncle is right. How much to earn depends on the acquisition cost!"

"That female cultivator, Fifth Uncle, you've been in contact with her for a while, how do you feel? Is she easy to deal with?"

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong, called Fifth Uncle, stopped his work and pondered for a long time.

Then he said confidently: "She should be easy to deal with. In my experience, this woman is not deep in the world; she took out the goods without asking about the price. Not only that, she let us appraise them without any back-up plans."

Another Foundation Establishment cultivator probed, "Pressing the price?"

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong nodded, "The price must be pressed, otherwise what will we earn? Besides, we are the ones doing business openly; if it were a black shop, maybe murder and robbery would be possible."

The remaining one was a bit worried, "Being able to hunt so many demon crabs, this woman probably has a force with considerable strength behind her. If we press too hard, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong was noncommittal, "There won't be too much trouble. You haven't handled this batch of materials, have you? Most of them are second-tier demon crabs, which ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can hunt. Plus the residual demon energy on them, it looks like many years have passed; I guess it's goods that a small force has accumulated for many years and wants to sell all at once by taking advantage of this opportunity."

"But those materials of the third-tier Azure Emperor Crab—ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators are afraid they can't kill a third-tier Demon King. If there is a Core Formation force behind this woman, what then?" The clansman was still a bit worried.

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong curled his lips and took a huge crab pincer.

"Little Eight, look carefully. The scars on this are not caused by our human cultivators."

Little Eight leaned over, looked carefully, and finally realized.

"It was caused by demon beasts!"

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong smiled slightly, "Your eyesight is still there; I haven't taught you in vain these years. The scars on these third-tier demon beast materials are clearly left by demon beasts fighting each other. I guess the force behind this woman was also lucky and benefited from being the fisherman."

Speaking of this, he straightened his waist and said confidently: "Besides, my Gongsun Qian family is one of the strongest Core Formation forces on Cold Light Island. We have several shops in Jade Cold City alone. Even if the female cultivator has a Core Formation force behind her, we have nothing to fear!"

The other two greatly agreed!

Their Gongsun Qian family is really not afraid of ordinary Core Formation forces.

On this Cold Light Island, except for the indifferent True Person Jade Cold, there are almost no opponents.

If judged by sect forces, the Gongsun Qian family must be a great sect-level existence.

Back and forth, the three began to discuss the next business negotiation, focusing on the price.

When Seeing Tianxuan returned to the backyard.

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong had already dismissed the others and talked to Seeing Tianxuan about this business personally.

"400,000?"

Seeing Tianxuan's eyebrows frowned, and displeasure arose spontaneously.

"Are you trying to deceive me because I don't understand business, and you just open your mouth for a price?"

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong was unhurried, pointing to the batch of materials: "It's not that I'm pressing the price; it's just that this batch of materials looks excellent at first glance, but in reality, it's been a long time and hasn't been preserved properly."

"The residual demon energy on it is not much, and there are many scars. If magic tools are made, there will inevitably be defects; we accept them, but it's not easy to sell them when we take them out."

"Besides, the quantity is too large; taking out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in one breath, even our Gongsun Qian family can't bear it. Fellow Daoist Seeing Tianxuan, you also have to understand us!"

Seeing Tianxuan didn't speak, just looked at the other party coldly.

Under her gaze, Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong didn't know why, but felt the pressure suddenly increase.

He wiped away non-existent cold sweat and continued his performance.

"Fellow Daoist might not understand the way of casting; generally, refining magic tools is best with complete demon beast materials."

"But look at this batch of materials; they are all crab legs and pincers, lacking tendons, bones, flesh, and blood."

"Oh, right, there is also the most important shell. That is the high-quality material most suitable for making defensive magic treasures."

"Missing these things, it's not easy for us to sell to others!"

Seeing Tianxuan twitched the corner of her mouth, "I don't understand what you're saying. I only know that now the Primal Demon Sect has been destroyed, and the North Sea cultivation world is leaderless. And there is a mix of righteous and demonic battles, many rogue cultivators are fishing in troubled waters, and there are endless demon beasts eyeing them in the demon sea. The prices of alchemy, arrays, tools, and talismans, and all kinds of resources are rising. 500,000... hehe."

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong's face tightened.

This woman really doesn't understand the details of demon materials for casting, but she knows the general trend.

Clearly, she is not someone easy to fool.

In this way, some of the previous rhetoric is not suitable to continue to be taken out.

He said sternly: "Then Fellow Daoist, what is your expected price?"

"700,000!"

"Impossible!"

Seeing Tianxuan took a deep breath, "Is it really impossible?"

"Of course it's impossi..." Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong subconsciously retorted, but before he could finish, his face changed.

Opposite him, a wave of spiritual pressure rushed toward him.

That was definitely not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could emit.

His mouth and tongue were dry, "Fellow Daoist Seeing Tianxuan, oh no, Senior! Let's talk nicely!"

Seeing Tianxuan timely put away the spiritual pressure emitted by the demon core and said coldly: "There's nothing to talk about; 700,000, if you want it, take it; if not, I will take this batch of materials away. In the vast Jade Cold City, there is more than just your Gold Pier Shop that can eat this batch of goods. As far as I know, the Gongsun Qian family alone has several branches in Jade Cold City; if you don't want it, are the other Gongsun Qian family shops also so blind?"

Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Layers of sweat beads covered his forehead unknowingly.

An hour later, Seeing Tianxuan left the Gold Pier Shop under the respectful send-off of Gongsun Qian Gongsun Qian Datong and a Gongsun Qian family Core Formation cultivator who personally rushed over to deliver the spirit stones.

Not to mention how the Gongsun Qian family evaluated this business.

Seeing Tianxuan, on the other hand, had quite a few insights.

Unlike the simple and direct communication between demon beasts and the collision of territorial consciousness, the transactions between human cultivators are clearly more cumbersome and complex.

The struggle for profit, calculating every penny.

The human heart is a ghost realm; without a certain strength, one will inevitably be eaten to the bone.

Under the night.

Seeing Tianxuan was deep in thought in a separate wooden house in the corner of the valley.

"These things, for the Master, must be very simple."

"But he let me do it, it seems he is training me."

"In that case, I can't let the Master down."

That batch of goods from the Gold Pier Shop finally brought back a huge sum of 700,000 low-grade spirit stones.

But this is only the first batch!

Seeing Tianxuan still has a lot in her hands, and even the most precious demon cores have not been sold yet.

The Master's expectation before closing the door was to trade back at least ten million spirit stones; she still has to work harder and cannot be as careless as today.

Besides, she has to learn more common sense to avoid being deceived.

"A bit of a headache!"

Seeing Tianxuan rubbed her forehead, but there was quite a bit of expectation in her heart.

Isn't this kind of verbal contention a kind of battle, a kind of cultivation practice?

This time, she must complete it beautifully.

In the following days, Seeing Tianxuan began to frequent shops of all sizes in Jade Cold City.

She also gradually realized some insights.

Dispersing goods cannot be done like before.

The materials of second-tier demon crabs are not that precious to shops of Core Formation forces, and the other party is not willing to offer a high price.

Therefore, these materials are suitable for selling in those small shops.

Although troublesome, the price will be higher.

And the third-tier demon crab materials cannot be eaten by small shops; only large shops can take them.

But so-called large shops also have differences.

Taking out a million spirit stones in one breath, ordinary Core Formation families cannot bear it.

The support of cultivation families for family cultivators is a huge investment, resulting in a small number of liquid spirit stones in their hands.

On the contrary, sects are different.

For low-level disciples, unless they are extremely talented, sects mostly rely on exploitation.

In this, there are few considerations of kinship and blood.

This leads to sects having huge amounts of liquid spirit stones in their hands.

They can eat large batches of goods.

Through these little tricks, the demon crab materials accumulated in Seeing Tianxuan's hands were sold faster and faster.

The spirit stones in her hands were also getting more and more!

One million, two million, three million...

Unknowingly, Seeing Tianxuan already had a huge sum of money in her hands.

And the materials Luo Chen gave her were the last batch, and also the most valuable batch.

On the central street of Jade Cold, Seeing Tianxuan sensed the batch of materials in the storage bag.

They were all materials of third-tier Demon Kings, from Azure Emperor Crabs, Overlord Crabs, Demon Spider Crabs, and even Nine-Clawed Poison King Crabs!

"Pity!"

"Time is tight, and I didn't understand some common sense at the beginning, which led to many detours. Otherwise, the vast Cold Light Island could completely eat this batch of materials, and I could exchange more spirit stones for the Master."

"Now, there are not many forces in Jade Cold City that can eat this batch of goods."

"If you want to sell it all at once, there is only this place."

Seeing Tianxuan looked up at the most luxurious nine-story building on the central street of Jade Cold!

People coming in and out were endless, and the flow of people exceeded a hundred in a short time.

And there were more people entering than leaving.

It shows that there are really many good things inside, making these cultivators linger.

This is a place to spend money, and it is also the best place to disperse goods.

【Heavenly Origin Trade Alliance】

Rumor has it that this shop is an industry of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect, a Soul Transformation holy land in the Central Plains.

Similar high-rise buildings are spread across the five states.

Especially the Central Plains and the North Sea!

"I don't have time to set up a stall to sell, so I'm counting on dealing with the last batch of goods here."

Seeing Tianxuan took a deep breath, restrained her aura to the limit, and stepped into the high-rise building.

And it was the first moment she entered.

On the seventh floor of the nine-story building, a rather wealthy-looking fat man suddenly opened his eyes.

Opposite him, a high-hanging pitch-black bronze mirror shone brightly, showing countless figures on it, finally settling on a woman with a beautiful face and a hint of arrogance in her brows.

The fat cultivator was shocked, showing surprise, and blurted out.

"Shapeshifting demon cultivator!"
