Chapter 2134 - 2135: Nether Emperor City! (First Update)

Three days later, Ling Feng and Fu Xueqing finally arrived at Nether Emperor City.

This journey represented Pure Yang Palace heading to the Kongming Divine Race to treat the princess, and along with Ling Feng, there were two other young men, both considered top talents within the Elixir Sect. Despite their youth, they already possessed the level of an Alchemy Master.

Their medical skills were naturally quite advanced.

Therefore, throughout the journey, these two held a high and cold demeanor, not only being indifferent to Ling Feng but also treating Fu Xueqing the same way, as if people like Ling Feng were not even worthy of speaking to them.

Besides these two, there was also an elder leading the group by the name of Elder Wen Xu, a pillar of the Elixir Sect, with a status comparable to Master Tao Hong.

"This is Nether Emperor City!"

Master Wenx Xu pointed to the magnificent city before them. After three days of traveling, they had finally arrived at their destination.

"I’ll go and contact the envoy of the Kongming Divine Race first. You all can wander around the city, but make sure to meet at the Tianyang Inn in the northern part of the city within three hours."

After giving this instruction, Master Wen Xu left swiftly, while the two aloof Elixir Sect geniuses also departed without a word, clearly not considering Ling Feng and Fu Xueqing as their companions at all.

In their eyes, Ling Feng and Fu Xueqing were just there to complement them, while they were the true protagonists of this mission!

Only they could cure the princess’s amnesia and earn the favor of the Kongming Divine Race.

Ling Feng shrugged, not bothering to deal with those conceited individuals. It was rare to visit such a large city; perhaps there might be some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures worth purchasing.

If he could come across materials to refine the Forbidden-breaking Pill, he could buy them directly.

Fu Xueqing looked at the backs of the two Elixir Sect geniuses and then at Ling Feng.

In comparison, being with Ling Feng didn’t give her the feeling of being belittled to such an extent.

With a bite of her silver teeth, Fu Xueqing decided to stay by Ling Feng’s side.

At least these past few days, Ling Feng hadn’t acted inappropriately, unlike the rumors about him.

At least, the way he looked at her didn’t have any possessiveness mixed in.

This gave Fu Xueqing a sense of reassurance.

Ling Feng glanced back at Fu Xueqing. Seeing this silly woman following him, he didn’t bother to say much and headed directly towards the direction of the market.

Fu Xueqing quickly followed Ling Feng closely. It was her first time in such a large city, and she was afraid of getting lost and not being able to find her way.

Soon after, Ling Feng suddenly stopped walking. Fu Xueqing, who was following him, almost bumped into him, casting a somewhat reproachful glance at Ling Feng, as if asking why he stopped suddenly.

Just then, Ling Feng turned around, and Fu Xueqing quickly averted her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.

Seeing Fu Xueqing’s aggrieved expression, Ling Feng couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile and asked in a deep voice, "Senior Sister Fu, do you know where in Nether Emperor City high-level Spiritual Medicine is sold? Also, I have some Demon Cores in hand; where can I exchange them at a high price?"

He knew nothing about Nether Emperor City, but Fu Xueqing, being a native of Milo Continent, should have some understanding of it.

Ling Feng currently only had Pure Yang Palace’s contribution points at hand, as all his Elemental Stones had been left at Burning Heart Valley and turned to ashes.

Therefore, he had to exchange for some Elemental Stones to conduct transactions.

Fortunately, he had reserved some Demon Cores as a backup.

"For the exchange..."

Fu Xueqing blinked and, after a moment of pondering, said, "I heard there’s a Hundred Treasures Market in Nether Emperor City, where many powerful martial artists sell their treasures."

"Moreover, if you’re lucky, you can buy very valuable treasures at a low price there. I’ve heard someone once bought a fragment of an Ancient Divine Weapon for just a hundred Elemental Stones and then sold it for tens of thousands of times more! If you’re short on money..."

Fu Xueqing said this and then raised her eyes to glance at Ling Feng, finding that Ling Feng didn’t show much expression. She continued, "If you’re short on money, you can try your luck there."

Treasure hunting?

Ling Feng smirked; if his Emperor’s Eye were still usable, it would indeed be the perfect tool for treasure hunting, but now...

Even though the Emperor’s Eye couldn’t be used, it wouldn’t hurt to try one’s luck.

Perhaps he might come across something he wanted.

The Hundred Treasures Market was quite renowned within Nether Emperor City, and after some inquiries, Ling Feng found out its location.

As long as he reached Tianyun Inn within three hours, there was plenty of time.

The Hundred Treasures Market was bustling inside, with a sea of people as far as the eye could see.

There were numerous counters, each partitioned off, and each one sold different kinds of items.

Before long, Ling Feng brought Fu Xueqing to a counter specializing in selling various Demon Cores. The Demon Cores ranged from low-level to extremely high-level, with a wide variety, totaling over a hundred types!

Among them, there was even the Demon Core of a Desert Fire Demon, though it was considerably smaller than the head-sized Demon Core Ling Feng had.

And even so, this Demon Core of the Desert Fire Demon was valued at over three hundred Ten thousand crystals!

Yes, Elemental Crystal, not Elemental Stone!

Converted to Elemental Stones, it was already an astronomical figure.

And this Demon Core was obviously the most prized item at this counter.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man appearing around fifty, with a long scar on his face that made him look somewhat intimidating.

His cultivation was that of a formidable Half-Saint!

"Oh? Little brother interested in my prized item here?"

The middle-aged man noticed Ling Feng staring at the Desert Fire Demon’s Demon Core for a while, a smile tugging at his lips, thinking a big deal was about to happen.

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile, "Senior, you’re joking. This Demon Core is so expensive; I can’t afford it."

He continued, "I’m actually looking to sell some Demon Cores. I wonder if you accept them here?"

"Yes, we do accept them."

Hearing Ling Feng wasn’t there to buy, the middle-aged man’s expression visibly cooled as he replied impatiently, "However, I have stable suppliers here, so if you want to sell Demon Cores to me, the quality must be high!"

The implication being that Ling Feng appeared to be an ordinary person with no cultivation, and Fu Xueqing was just a Peak Emperor, after all.

Such a combination likely couldn’t obtain very precious Demon Cores.

Ling Feng smiled calmly and said, "You can take a look first, senior. If you’re not satisfied, then let’s forget it."

With that, Ling Feng handed over a bulging bag, which the middle-aged shopkeeper opened. A wave of scorching heat immediately hit him.
