Chapter 1146: Encountering a Private Battle on the Road!
Shopkeeper Zhao Si took the bag and opened it to examine the contents. He was clearly somewhat surprised.
Inside the Central Region, Su Yi knew about the situation of borrowing a large amount of Yuan Stone from Lingbao Pavilion in order to acquire a strange wooden box from Fuyao Clan.
Moreover, Su Yi had previously visited here to repay a small amount of Yuan Stone.
“Rumors circulating outside say that Overlord Sect recently discovered a Yuan Stone mine, and it seems those rumors are indeed true!” After Shopkeeper Zhao confirmed the quantity of Yuan Stone, he said with a smile.
Normally, it would be absolutely impossible for a teenager in their teens to repay billions of one-star Yuan Stone within a year without relying on any powerful backing.
But now Su Yi had achieved it, which gave Shopkeeper Zhao a sense of excitement.
However, he quickly recalled the recent rumors that the news about many people from Sky Spider Sect was also related to this matter.
“I borrowed over one hundred thousand three-star Yuan Stone in the past, but now I can only return one-star Yuan Stone. I wonder if there needs to be any additional compensation?” Su Yi asked the old man.
People throughout the world all know that Yuan Stone is rare, and high-quality Yuan Stone is even more precious.
Each time the grade of Yuan Stone increases, its value increases by a hundred times. This is the standard method of calculation.
However, no one would willingly exchange a high-grade Yuan Stone for a lower-grade one because it would not be worthwhile.
Moreover, the Yuan Stone that Su Yi initially borrowed was three-star, and now he was using one-star, which represented a difference of two grades.
If Lingbao Pavilion requested additional compensation or charged him a small amount of interest, it would be reasonable.
For this reason, Su Yi had also prepared many extra Yuan Stones on his person.
“Hahaha…”
Upon hearing Su Yi’s words, Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly laughed heartily and said, “Dear guest, you are too courteous! With your possession of our Lingbao Pavilion’s black card and your esteemed status, there is no need for any compensation for this small matter. According to the standard value, ten billion Yuan Stones would be just right! I will immediately process these Yuan Stones and consider all of Lingbao Pavilion’s loans that you borrowed as repaid.”
“In that case, thank you very much!”
Su Yi felt slightly surprised, but still sincerely expressed his gratitude.
He became increasingly curious. In the Forest of Demons city, there was a graceful woman named Lan Wanlian. He wondered who she truly was, as she had given him a black card that could provide great convenience at Lingbao Pavilion.
“You are too polite, my honored guest!” Shopkeeper Zhao smiled once more.
“I have some items to sell. Could you please help me, Shopkeeper Zhao, to estimate their price and exchange them all for other pills and medicinal ingredients? I will select them myself downstairs!”
Su Yi took out another bag and handed it to Shopkeeper Zhao.
Inside the bag were pills and herbs, all of which had significantly improved in quality and value after being stored in the mysterious space for an extended period.
“I will attend to it immediately. Please wait, my honored guest!” Shopkeeper Zhao departed with the two bags.
Su Yi didn’t remain on the upper floor for long. Su Xiaoshuai stood on his shoulder, and the two of them proceeded downstairs.
“So many Star-grade pills, and even Star-grade herbs!”
On the third floor, numerous display counters were filled with bottles of pills and jade boxes containing herbs. They were all of the highest Star-grade quality.
This astonished Su Yi greatly. He had purchased items at Lingbao Pavilion before, but now witnessing this scene on the third floor, he couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.
So many high-grade Star-level pills and spiritual medicines were displayed and sold at Lingbao Pavilion; this was truly something that ordinary shops would not dare to do.
But considering the circumstances, not just anyone could ascend to the third floor—at this time, only Su Yi was present.
For ordinary martial artists, such pills and spiritual medicines were unaffordable. Only those from powerful factions or strong cultivators among the wandering practitioners could acquire them.
Su Yi estimated that only occasionally would powerful cultivators come to purchase items from the third floor of Lingbao Pavilion. After all, this was merely a small Sword Star City; there weren’t many true powerful cultivators around, far fewer than in Central Region City.
“I want all of these pills!”
Su Yi pointed at several bottles of pills and declared.
Unfortunately, although those spiritual medicines were of high grade, they had already withered and could not be grown in the mysterious space.
“Yes!”
The disciples from Lingbao Pavilion, who had guided Su Yi earlier, now followed him and gathered everything he indicated, then began calculating the total price.
“These are all excellent items, but unfortunately I cannot afford to purchase too many!”
Su Yi pouted and surveyed the various elixirs and spiritual medicines, feeling greatly tempted.
If these items were placed into the mysterious space, their overall effectiveness would increase and their value would also multiply several times.
Unfortunately, these things were expensive, and even though Su Yi’s faction now possessed a mine, he dared not buy excessively, as the mine had only been partially exploited.
Su Yi thought to himself that it was time to prepare a substantial quantity of elixirs and spiritual medicines, as these would become part of the foundation of the Overlord Sect.
The Overlord Sect wanted to expand, and these resources were indispensable.
“There are even yellow-grade elixirs!”
While browsing on the third floor, Su Yi noticed a cabinet in a corner, inside of which was a bottle of elixir called the Topaz Kaiyang Pill!
This type of pill is typically consumed by advanced practitioners in the Yuan Void Realm. It can significantly assist them in breaking through to the Yuan Emperor Realm and increase their chances by 20 percent.
Su Yi couldn’t help but be surprised, not only by the effectiveness of the Topaz Kaiyang Pill but also by its price.
“Two thousand three-star Yuan Stones!”
Su Yi was amazed, realizing it commanded such a high price.
Two thousand three-star Yuan Stones, equivalent to twenty million one-star Yuan Stones! Most individuals simply couldn’t afford it.
Perhaps some descendants of powerful warriors who lacked natural talent would opt to use this pill to aid their breakthrough.
“I’ll examine the second floor!”
Su Yi tucked Su Xiaoshuai back into his arms and headed downstairs.
The items on the third floor were exceptional, but given Su Yi’s current financial situation, it wasn’t feasible for him to purchase in large quantities.
And, regarding the Topaz Kaiyang Pill, he didn’t require it, nor did the other members of the Overlord Sect. The effects of the mysterious space and Spiritual Essence were definitely superior to this pill!
After reaching the second floor, Su Yi selected many pills and still-viable herbs.
“Sir, you still need to pay Lingbao Pavilion ten thousand two-star Yuan Stones!”
When Su Yi was about to depart, Shopkeeper Zhao reappeared and calculated all the accounts for Su Yi.
Due to the black card he possessed, the items Su Yi sold were valued highly, while the things he wished to purchase all received substantial discounts that others couldn’t enjoy.
“Very well!”
Su Yi didn’t calculate too meticulously; he had great confidence in Lingbao Pavilion’s reputation.
Because of the Star-grade pills he obtained on the third floor, the value of the items he had previously offered was insufficient to offset the cost.
Su Yi didn’t have ten thousand two-star Yuan Stones; almost all he carried were one-star Yuan Stones.
After paying one million one-star Yuan Stones, Su Yi once again altered his appearance and left Lingbao Pavilion.
“Let’s visit the City Master’s mansion and see if Sword Star City is under the control of Mysterious Sword Gate or Liuhe Sect.”
With respectful farewells from the disciples at Lingbao Pavilion, Su Yi set foot on the street once again.
As he departed, there were still several people in line who hadn’t entered Lingbao Pavilion yet.
When they observed Su Yi emerging, these individuals couldn’t help but smile bitterly, commenting on how appearances could be deceiving.
“Boss, buy some more seasonings; we haven’t had meat for a long time!”
Su Yi walked leisurely on the street, unhurried. Su Xiaoshuai peeked out from his collar and swallowed saliva as he spoke.
“You only think about food. It would be better if you devoted more energy to cultivation!”
Su Yi pushed him back with a sigh and rolled his eyes.
He knew that Su Xiaoshuai still remembered what had transpired previously. The Purple Elephant Emperor, Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor, and Xuan Turtle Emperor—all three Beast Emperors—had been placed on the stove, seasoned, and were about to be cooked. But unexpectedly, the meat that was about to be eaten flew away right before his eyes. This had made Su Xiaoshuai despondent for a considerable time, so he had been consistently talking about wanting to eat meat lately.
“Boss, I have already reached the second grade of the Demonic Emperor Realm! And if I want to advance further, I need to eat more!”
Su Xiaoshuai once again displayed his frustrated expression and murmured unhappily.
Upon hearing this, Su Yi was speechless for a moment. He had to acknowledge that what Su Xiaoshuai stated was accurate.
Compared to his own diligent practice, Su Xiaoshuai made his breakthrough seem effortless.
When Su Yi broke through to the Fifth Grade of the Yuan Void Realm on the Nie Long Platform, he had thought to himself that he was drawing closer to Su Xiaoshuai’s realm.
Who would have anticipated that this creature would immediately reach the second grade of the Demonic Emperor Realm?
Now the gap in their cultivation levels had widened even further.
“Birds truly surpass humans!”
Su Yi shook his head with a bitter smile. The Phoenix bloodline was naturally potent, which was genuinely enviable.
He didn’t comment further, but he did purchase a variety of spices.
Additionally, Su Yi bought a large tripod, which was exceedingly sturdy. He specifically commissioned a craftsman to create it and added a thick lid that could be tightly sealed.
“This is a genuine pressure cooker. It will make stewing much more convenient!”
Su Yi was quite satisfied and stored the large tripod away. This was a technique he had devised when stewing the Xuan Turtle Emperor previously.
“Let’s proceed to the City Master’s residence!”
Having completed everything, Su Yi headed in the direction of the City Master’s residence.
As he was walking with Su Xiaoshuai along the street, he suddenly observed two individuals engaged in combat not far away, causing damage to some items on the street.
“Any damages resulting from conflicts within the city must be compensated at the original price!”
Just as the fight commenced here, a group of people rapidly approached from a distance. They were all dressed in identical uniforms and advanced toward the two combatants, surrounding them in the middle.
Su Yi witnessed this and immediately ceased movement. The grudges and disputes were all temporarily set aside, and a troubled expression appeared on his face.
