Chapter 969: Picking Up Treasures (First update, requesting everything)

The shop assistant could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, asking nervously, "Distinguished guest, you are truly not joking, are you?"

"Do I look like I am joking with you? Pack them up!"

Li Zhangsheng continued to play the part of a boorish man, casting a glance at the assistant with eyes like knives, giving the assistant a feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The assistant was struck dumb with fear and hurriedly said, "This matter is of great importance; I must ask the shop manager for instructions. Besides, I do not have the keys in my hand."

"Go!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, feigning an impatient look.

The assistant hurried downstairs and soon brought the shop manager up.

The shop manager was an old man with white hair and beard who looked frail and lacked any imposing aura; one who did not know better would think he was an ordinary person. However, relying on his advantage in cultivation realm, Li Zhangsheng saw through at a glance that this was a Sixth-Rank Expert who had merely used a Secret Technique to restrain his Mental Power.

Because Li Zhangsheng did not release his aura, the shop manager could not help but ask with a suspicious look, "Distinguished guest, are you certain you want to pack these four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs?"

There was no helping it; it was nearly two million Soul Crystals, an amount many factions could not produce even if they went bankrupt.

Li Zhangsheng could not be bothered to speak and directly released a wisp of aura unique to an Emperor Rank.

Feeling this aura, the shop manager was clearly startled, and his speech even became stuttered: "S-so it is His Majesty! This small one will open them right away!"

The shop manager hurriedly took out a five-pointed star-shaped token, and a beam of light shot out, opening the Restrictions on the four Fairy Eggs one by one.

The shop manager was not afraid that Li Zhangsheng would rob him by force; firstly, would an Emperor Rank still want his face? Secondly, this was the Imperial Capital of the Mucang Empire; if he really tried to rob by force, even an Emperor Rank would be in danger.

Furthermore, to be able to open such a large Fairy Egg Shop in the Fairy Trading Market, the shop manager was at least a Sixth-Rank, and the backing was at least an Emperor Rank, possibly even a Double-Character King.

"It truly makes my humble shop shine for His Majesty to visit in person. This small one can take the liberty of granting you the greatest discount."

Like those merchants selling wild Spirit Beasts, the shop manager also offered a discount. Backing was backing, but he dared not offend an Emperor Rank. Even if he earned a little less, he had to keep the peace to make money and avoid being targeted by an Emperor Rank.

The shop manager gave Li Zhangsheng a ten percent discount; it seemed like little, but it was equivalent to a reduction of 190,000 Soul Crystals.

If it were ordinary Fairy Eggs, even a fifty percent discount would be fine, as the loss would not be much, but Quasi-God Sprite Eggs were different; a ten percent discount was already his maximum Authority.

Because Quasi-God Sprite Eggs were too precious, they naturally had to be settled on the spot.

Li Zhangsheng waved his right hand on the spot, and a large quantity of Soul Crystals appeared, piling up into a small mountain over three meters high.

Most of these Soul Crystals were Low Grade, only a small portion were Mid-grade, and there were no Superior Quality ones at all.

Li Zhangsheng had long since accumulated a massive amount of Soul Crystals and had been wanting to spend them; now was a good opportunity to increase the number of Quasi-Gods in his Secret Realm.

Moreover, this Top-tier Spirit Hydra Fairy Egg alone was worth at least dozens of times that of an ordinary Hydra Fairy Egg.

Even after spending 1,710,000 Soul Crystals, Li Zhangsheng still had a large balance left. After all, he had raided the Imperial Palace of the Langya Kingdom, and even after sharing some with Xu Wenhua and the others, it was still a huge number; let alone four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs, even ten times that amount would be more than enough.

It could be said that among many Emperor Ranks, Li Zhangsheng was also absolutely wealthy.

Although the Soul Crystals before him were piled like a mountain, the shop manager was ultimately a Sixth-Rank Expert; he only scanned them with his Mental Power for a moment before putting them away.

The old man bowed slightly and said, "His Majesty, may I ask if there is anything else you need?"

"What is upstairs?"

"The fifth floor is the Dead Egg area!"

The old man answered respectfully, subconsciously thinking that Li Zhangsheng would not go upstairs, as very few people would go to the Dead Egg area; usually, only some low-tier Monster Tamers without much wealth would be fond of these Dead Eggs.

"Then let's go take a look!"

Li Zhangsheng continued upstairs. He had once picked up Adai, who had not yet hatched at the time, in a Dead Egg area, as well as a large number of High Quality Fairy Eggs, which earned him a massive amount of resources in his early stages.

Therefore, Li Zhangsheng could be said to have a special fondness for the Dead Egg area.

The old man was a bit surprised, but he did not say anything and led Li Zhangsheng straight to the fifth floor, which was also the last floor of this Fairy Egg Shop.

Naturally, a large number of Dead Eggs were piled up here, the quantity far exceeding the sum of the other four floors.

However, many Dead Eggs had truly become Dead Eggs, and only a small portion of the Fairy Eggs possessed a certain degree of vitality.

Li Zhangsheng did not bother with the shop manager, and his released Mental Power instantly encompassed the entire Dead Egg area.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng 'saw' dense light spots, numbering in the tens of thousands.

What disappointed him was that although there were many light spots, there were only a few Superior Quality ones, and not a single one reached Top-tier.

Under the control of his Mental Power, these few Superior Quality Fairy Eggs flew out and landed in Li Zhangsheng's hands, and only then did he leisurely go downstairs.

The shop manager followed behind, his mind still a bit confused; he really could not understand Li Zhangsheng's true intention.

"No need, no need, these few Fairy Eggs will be a gift from us to you."

Just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to settle the bill, the shop manager waved his hand, and apart from the four Quasi-God Sprite Eggs already paid for, all the other Fairy Eggs were given for free.

This was something that should have been done anyway; Li Zhangsheng was just putting on a show.

Then, under the shop manager's surprised gaze, Li Zhangsheng walked straight into the Fairy Egg Shop next door.

This Fairy Egg Shop was not large, its area less than 1/3 of the first one, and it had only three floors in total.

However, the prices of the Fairy Eggs in this shop were relatively lower, which might be the main reason it could survive.

The process was exactly the same as the first shop, except that Li Zhangsheng did not find any Top-tier Spirit in this shop, only obtaining one Superior Quality Fairy Egg.

As for Quasi-God Sprite Eggs, this small shop had no stock at all.

In the time that followed, Li Zhangsheng visited ten more Fairy Egg Shops, and the harvest was not bad.

Including the harvest from the previous two shops, he had collected a total of over thirty Superior Quality Fairy Eggs and two Top-tier Spirit, including eight Quasi-God Sprite Eggs.

Apart from that Top-tier Spirit Hydra Fairy Egg, the other Top-tier Spirit was picked up by Li Zhangsheng from the Dead Egg area of a shop; this could completely be called an unexpected joy.

As for what kind of Spirit Beast this Top-tier Spirit could hatch into, he would have to wait until it hatched to know.

It was now dusk, and Li Zhangsheng continued to walk toward the next Fairy Egg Shop with cheerful steps.

The scale of this shop was comparable to the first Fairy Egg Shop, or perhaps even slightly larger.

Li Zhangsheng stepped inside full of anticipation, continuing to scavenge following the previous process.

The first floor was normal enough, with only two Superior Quality Fairy Eggs, but when he scanned the second floor, Li Zhangsheng was surprised beyond measure.
