Chapter 392

In the cultivation world, the exchange ratio between lower-grade spirit stones and medium-grade spirit stones is one hundred to one!

One hundred lower-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one medium-grade spirit stone, and one hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one upper-grade spirit stone!

Xu Que had stolen so many treasure houses and imperial tombs, the medium-grade spirit stones he possessed were at least several millions. Converted to lower-grade spirit stones, it was directly several hundred millions.

Moreover, this guy also had nearly a million upper-grade spirit stones, as well as tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, completely a walking treasure house. His net worth was enough to compare to two or three countries. In his view, a mere eight million lower-grade spirit stones was really cheap!

But everyone present was scared.

What kind of person is this? Eight million lower-grade spirit stones and still says it's cheap? Could it be a rich second generation from some major power?

The boss of Zhai Bao Pavilion was also stunned. Originally, he thought Xu Que would bargain, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily!

This is really stupid and rich? Too terrifying!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Young Hero, since that's the case, why not go to Zhai Bao Pavilion and take a look?"

"Okay, you lead the way! Other bosses who want to sell techniques can also come to me!"

Xu Que said readily, put away the more than a million spirit stones on the ground, and followed the middle-aged man all the way to Zhai Bao Pavilion.

Zhai Bao Pavilion's geographical location was quite good, at the edge of the center of the Imperial Capital, where people came and went, and it was considered a lively place.

But the shop scale wasn't large, only more than ten square meters, at most equivalent to a small room, with several bookshelves inside, on which were ordinary books and techniques!

"Young Hero, the techniques are all placed in this column, but the Earth Grade techniques are too precious, I keep them with me, you can take a look!" The middle-aged man said, taking out a jade slip from his storage bag and handing it to Xu Que!

Xu Que's Divine Sense moved, probed into it, and found it was just a blade technique, so he shook his head, lost interest in learning it himself, and decided to recycle it to the system!

But when the middle-aged man saw Xu Que shake his head, he was startled, thinking he was dissatisfied, and hurriedly asked: "Young Hero, is there any problem?"

"Nothing, just that this Earth Grade technique is a bit trashy, but I'll accept it. Here are eight hundred upper-grade spirit stones, you count them!" Xu Que said, taking out eight hundred upper-grade spirit stones from the system package.

According to the exchange ratio, eight hundred upper-grade spirit stones are equivalent to eighty thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which is also equal to eight million lower-grade spirit stones!

The middle-aged man widened his eyes, surprised by Xu Que's generous move.

Although eight hundred upper-grade spirit stones are indeed equivalent to eight million lower-grade spirit stones, upper-grade spirit stones are generally only possessed by people with noble status. He didn't expect that Xu Que, at such a young age, could casually throw out eight hundred upper-grade spirit stones.

"Looks like this teenager's identity is not simple!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but guess in his heart.

And at this time, Xu Que also came to the bookshelf, ignored the ordinary books, waved his hand, and put more than fifty techniques into the system storage space. The next moment, his heart moved, and he recycled all the techniques to the system!

"Ding, recycled 'Water Cloud Mind Method' successfully, obtained twenty points of technique essence."

"Ding, recycled 'Town Sea Palm' successfully, obtained nineteen points of technique essence."

"Ding, recycled 'Clear Water Decision' successfully, obtained thirty points of technique essence."

……

Dozens of techniques in a row, including that Earth Grade technique, were all recycled by Xu Que to the system.

But just at this moment, the system suddenly paused, and a prompt sounded.

"Ding, detected that the Mystic Grade technique 'Heaven Water Sword Technique' contains a Star Rank technique fragment, do you want to continue recycling?"

"What's the situation? Star Rank technique, I rely on, why haven't I heard of it?" Xu Que was instantly shocked and asked with Divine Sense.

All along, he thought there were only four types of techniques: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow in the cultivation world, and he hadn't heard of anything after that, although the system mall also left spaces for other ranks, all displayed with question marks.

Hearing "Star Rank" now, Xu Que certainly couldn't be calm.

You know, even the Nine Secrets and the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus could only be considered Heaven Grade, so how awesome must a Star Rank be?

Soon, the system responded: "Ding, if the host upgrades to version 4.0, the mall will add Star Rank techniques for sale!"

"I rely on, you are clearly not letting me continue to be rich! Where is that Star Rank technique fragment, don't recycle it, take it out and let me see!" Xu Que wasn't in a hurry to upgrade the system, after all, it would cost twenty thousand Acting Cool Points, which was really like cutting meat!

Now he cared about wanting to see what kind of technique it was, actually able to be defined as Star Rank, one level higher than Heaven Grade!

"Ding, 'Heaven Water Sword Technique' has been stored back in the system package, host can check it yourself!"

As the system prompt sounded, the light curtain interface in front of Xu Que added a technique.

His heart moved, and he took out the "Heaven Water Sword Technique" directly, and examined it carefully.

According to what the system said, that Star Rank technique fragment was hidden in the words of the "Heaven Water Sword Technique", but how to take it out?

The middle-aged man next to him saw Xu Que suddenly stop talking, and took a Mystic Grade technique to examine it, so he couldn't help but say: "Young Hero, are you interested in sword techniques? This 'Heaven Water Sword Technique' is very ordinary, I dug it out from some overseas merchants. With your financial resources, I suggest you go to the auction to find some Heaven Grade ones!"

"Oh okay okay, nothing else, you go first. If you have techniques next time, remember to come find me!" Xu Que dealt with him absent-mindedly, and also took the opportunity to send the middle-aged man away.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and had to say goodbye.

But when he walked a few steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned back.

At the same time, he took out one thousand lower-grade spirit stones, placed them on the table, and said to Xu Que: "By the way, Young Hero, the street fee for this month hasn't been paid yet. One thousand lower-grade spirit stones per month, I'll pay for this month!"

"Wait, what do you mean? What is a street fee?" Xu Que felt something was wrong and immediately called the middle-aged man to stop.

The middle-aged man was stunned and explained: "Doesn't the Young Hero know that in the Imperial Capital, doing business requires paying a street fee? This is a rule set by the Twelve Young Masters, and every household has to pay it every month!"

"I rely on, isn't this collecting protection money? That dog-shit Twelve Young Masters is too bold. Forget it, forget it, anyway, I don't plan to do business, you hurry up and go, take the spirit stones with you, I'll clean him up later!" Xu Que waved his hand, urging the middle-aged man to leave, he was busy studying how to take out the Star Rank technique.

But when the middle-aged man heard Xu Que's words, he was startled again, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Young Hero, these words can't be said casually! The Twelve Young Masters are imperial relatives, the only son of the Third Prince, even His Highness the Water Emperor can't do anything about him!"

"Yo, the Water Emperor can't do anything about him, how is that possible? I heard that the Water Emperor governs well and is a wise monarch, how could she indulge this kind of behavior?" Xu Que was interested.

The middle-aged man replied: "Sigh, the late Emperor and the several Princes of our Water Origin Kingdom's royal family had very few offspring. When they were at war with the Golden Origin Kingdom, many offspring fell, and now only this one seedling is left in the Third Prince's family, able to continue the royal family's lineage. The Water Emperor is the Emperor, but after all, she is a woman. Even if she has offspring in the future, they will have the blood of the outsider family, so she has been tolerant of the Twelve Young Masters' behavior."

"This won't do, it's a typical patriarchal concept, completely wrong! Fine, you hurry up and go, I don't have time to deal with that Twelve Young Masters." Xu Que casually despised a few words, put his interest back on the technique in his hand, and drove people away again.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and couldn't say much more, so he had to say goodbye.

Xu Que sat in Zhai Bao Pavilion, fiddling with the "Heaven Water Sword Technique" left and right, and even tore off a small corner, only to find that there were no other techniques hidden inside.

He hurriedly summoned the system and asked: "System, you didn't pit me, right? Where is the Star Rank technique hidden?"

"Ding, after detection, the technique fragment is split and hidden in the words of the 'Heaven Water Sword Technique'. Do you want to spend 100 Acting Cool Points to extract it?"

"Damn, this also needs Acting Cool Points? Fine fine, afraid of you, help me extract it and store it in a jade slip, so it looks high-end!"

Xu Que said impatiently, he urgently wanted to know what this Star Rank technique fragment was!

"Ding, extraction completed, total consumption of 110 Acting Cool Points!"

"Damn, didn't you say 100 points? Why did you charge me 10 more?"

"Ding, the jade slip workmanship fee is 10 Acting Cool Points!"
