Chapter 966: Cloud Pattern Diamond (Second update, requesting everything)

The next morning, Li Zhangsheng bid farewell to Luo Yuanjun and headed straight for the Fairy Trading Market.

Without a doubt, this was the largest Fairy Trading Market in the entire Mucang Empire, a place that ranked among the best even when considering the entire continent.

The Fairy Trading Market occupied almost the entire southeastern corner, encompassing over a hundred streets; it was bustling with people, appearing quite lively.

This Fairy Trading Market was subdivided into several areas, covering wild Spirit Beasts, materials, Alchemical Pills, Treasures, Monster Tamer techniques, Secret Techniques, and so on; almost anything related to Spirit Beasts could be found here.

The moment he stepped into the Fairy Trading Market, Li Zhangsheng began his treasure hunt.

To avoid causing a commotion, Li Zhangsheng deliberately restrained a portion of his Mental Power, giving off the impression of being a Sixth-tier Beastmaster.

Not only that, Li Zhangsheng also used the Hundred-Change Thousand-Illusion Mask to alter his appearance and utilized a special Secret Technique to change his physique, transforming into a burly man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face covered in rolls of fat.

After becoming a King, Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power could extend to cover a radius of ten thousand meters.

However, the Imperial Capital's Fairy Trading Market was simply too large; even Li Zhangsheng could not cover it all at once.

Following the feedback from his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng soon arrived at his first target.

As his strength increased, Li Zhangsheng's standards grew higher and higher; unless the energy fluctuation reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, he would not waste his time on it.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng stood before a shop that occupied a fairly large area.

Looking at the shop before him, Li Zhangsheng felt that the possibility of finding a hidden gem here was very small, but he did not give up easily; after all, nothing was absolute, and as long as people were involved, there was always a possibility of mistakes, and large merchants were no exception.

Li Zhangsheng walked straight into the shop. This shop was decorated very luxuriously; the exterior was painted with a layer of gold powder, the floor was paved with a large number of gold beads, Night Pearls overhead released light, and a large number of famous paintings and calligraphy were hung on the surrounding walls.

This was a shop specializing in selling materials, covering several categories, with the most numerous being materials from Spirit Beasts, followed by spiritual plants and ores.

When Li Zhangsheng entered, a scantily clad beauty immediately walked up to him with a beaming smile.

"Welcome, may I ask, honored guest..."

Just as the beauty began to speak, Li Zhangsheng feigned rudeness and interrupted her, saying in a gruff voice, "I'll look around first!"

After saying this, Li Zhangsheng ignored her and walked straight toward the area where the treasures were located.

The receptionist thought to herself that he was a weirdo, but she dared not say it out loud and could only grumble inwardly.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng stopped.

There were a dozen long counters here, on which were placed samples of ores of various colors and shapes.

There were fully over a thousand samples; not to mention common ores on the market, even rare ores like Refined Gold, Secret Silver, and Shoushan Red Copper could be found here.

Following the direction of the energy fluctuation, Li Zhangsheng quickly locked onto a stone as large as a millstone.

This stone looked like a large honeycomb briquette, and its pitch-black surface had a large number of golden cloud-patterned lines.

As a top-tier Refining Master, Li Zhangsheng recognized at a glance that this was a relatively rare material—Cloud Pattern Adamantite.

Although it looked relatively fragile on the outside, as long as one extracted the Cloud Pattern Diamond Essence, one could obtain a piece of Cloud Pattern Diamond known for its hard texture.

Generally speaking, Cloud Pattern Adamantite was only at the Heaven and Earth Wonder level, but this piece of Cloud Pattern Diamond emitted energy fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, which made Li Zhangsheng marvel inwardly.

Judging from the price tag on the Cloud Pattern Adamantite, he could be certain that this was a major oversight.

What Li Zhangsheng needed to consider was how to successfully obtain this piece of Cloud Pattern Adamantite.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhangsheng had an idea and beckoned to the beautiful shop assistant who was still following him.

The beautiful shop assistant maintained her smile and asked, "Honored guest, is there anything you need?"

"I need a large amount of Cloud Pattern Adamantite. How much does your shop have?"

Li Zhangsheng's idea was very simple: to buy out all the Cloud Pattern Adamantite in this shop.

As a Refining Master, these Cloud Pattern Adamantite pieces would not go to waste.

"Please wait a moment, honored guest, I will go and ask the manager!"

Upon hearing it was a big business deal, the beautiful shop assistant's eyes lit up, but she did not know how much Cloud Pattern Adamantite was left, so she hurried upstairs to ask the manager.

Soon, a chubby middle-aged man walked over, followed by the beautiful shop assistant; it went without saying that he was the manager of this shop.

The chubby manager was a Monster Tamer, and his rank had reached the Fourth Rank. Upon sensing the aura Li Zhangsheng deliberately released, he subconsciously assumed that this was a Sixth-tier Beastmaster, and his expression became noticeably respectful.

The chubby manager wore a very affable smile and said, "Honored guest, I am the manager here. I just checked the inventory, and we have a total of 218 jin of Cloud Pattern Adamantite."

Li Zhangsheng feigned a muffled voice and said, "If I take it all, how will the price be calculated?"

"The price will definitely be favorable for you. How about this figure?"

The chubby manager's smile widened, his squinting eyes appearing as if they were about to disappear, as he quoted a unit price.

Because the quantity requested was large, the unit price quoted by the chubby manager was much cheaper than what was marked on the counter.

"Deal!"

Li Zhangsheng pretended to ponder for a moment, agreed, and then acted as if unintentionally pointing at the Cloud Pattern Adamantite sample on the counter, asking, "By the way, let me have this sample as a throw-in, what do you think?"

The chubby manager could not help but show a pained expression and said, "Honored guest, if this sample is used as a throw-in, we won't make any profit. How about this, we'll sell it to you at half price, what do you think?"

This Cloud Pattern Adamantite sample weighed at least ten jin, so its value was naturally not low.

"Fine, that's it. Be quick about it; I don't want to wait too long."

Li Zhangsheng did not dwell on it and agreed to the price. The reason he made such a fuss was simply because he did not want to leave any traces and wanted to act more naturally.

"Rest assured, I will give the order right away!"

The chubby manager's face was full of unconcealable joy; as long as he completed this large transaction, he would receive a certain commission.

Of course, the same went for the beautiful shop assistant who served Li Zhangsheng.

Not long after, amidst the chubby manager's farewells, Li Zhangsheng walked straight out of the shop and began to lock onto his next target.

Although he did not know what the first treasure would be, after achieving a successful start, Li Zhangsheng's mood could be described as quite pleasant; after all, picking up a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasure at a cabbage price would naturally make one feel very good.
