Chapter 723: 255. Divine Forms Demon Body, Sword Palace Secret Envoy (5.3K words – Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Several months later…
Hua Xianggu changed into a proper outfit, applied even more rouge to her chubby face, and then used an Illusion Technique to appear as an ordinary Female Cultivator. She approached the Cyan Nether Merchant Association, displaying a hint of Profound Yellow Second Realm power, and thus met with the association’s Steward.
To see through someone else’s Illusion Technique is a form of provocation. Unless someone is extremely combative, even if they see through Hua Xianggu’s Illusion Technique, they won’t expose her.
This slightly plump Steward saw through it but said nothing, smiling as he asked, “What would the guest like to purchase?”
Hua Xianggu tossed out a small piece of Yin Qi Crystal, speaking in a constrained voice, “Do you have it?”
The Steward weighed the Yin Qi Crystal, squinted his eyes subtly after a brief observation.
Hua Xianggu said, “You recognize it.”
The Steward bowed and said, “I am Wang Tonggu from the Cyan Nether Merchant Association.”
After speaking, he added, “Please follow me, let’s talk elsewhere.”
Hua Xianggu sneered, “Let’s talk right here.”
Wang Tonggu said, “Our association headquarters has this item. I invite you for a detailed discussion about the price.”
Hua Xianggu stared at him, Wang Tonggu smiled calmly in return.
Hua Xianggu thought of the needs of that good friend of hers and suddenly said, “I also want the Hungry Ghost Dao White Visualization Map.”
Wang Tonggu said, “That crystal needs to be transferred from headquarters; the next transfer will be in fifty years. However, we still have some in stock here, and I can allocate them to you. As for the Hungry Ghost Dao White Visualization Map, I have it on hand.”
Hua Xianggu asked, “What’s the price?”
Wang Tonggu said, “The crystal is exchanged for a top-grade Starfire Spirit Stone for a piece of equal size. As for the Hungry Ghost Dao White Visualization Map, it’s only five World Cores, consider it a friendly gesture.”
His plump face scrunched up with a smile.
Hua Xianggu glanced at the chubby man in front of her, suddenly recalling what her good friend said about the “White Visualization Map price.” This dead fat man in front of her wanted twenty World Cores for a “Hell Dao White Visualization Map.”
Honestly, she was born in the Rusted Sword Blood Domain, with even her birth being unclear, so she didn’t know much about outside prices, let alone the market price of a Visualization Map.
But twenty World Cores versus five World Cores, that’s quite a discrepancy.
Hua Xianggu wouldn’t assume this fat man fancied her and was cutting her a deal on purpose.
So there’s a problem.
Therefore, she said, “Show it to me, which Visualization Map is it?”
Wang Tonggu said, “It can’t be inspected.”
Immediately, he added, “I assure you the quality is good, genuinely a Hungry Ghost Dao White Visualization Map. However, there are a few cracks in the map, affecting its appearance. Moreover, there are actually not many cultivators in the Hungry Ghost Dao, so it’s difficult to sell.
Therefore, the price keeps dropping, finally settling at five World Cores. Our Cyan Nether Merchant Association just wants to sell this Visualization Map quickly.
Fellow Daoist, rest assured, our Cyan Nether Merchant Association is focused on long-term business, we won’t engage in deceit and tarnish our reputation when selling goods. Although this Hungry Ghost Dao White Visualization Map is cheap, it is certainly worth the price.”
Hua Xianggu said, “Alright, I’ll take them all.”
Wang Tonggu chuckled, “Once the next batch of crystals arrives, how should I contact you?”
Hua Xianggu said, “In fifty years, someone will come to purchase them.”
At first, the Ghost Cultivators were poor and didn’t even consider coming to the Cyan Nether Merchant Association to spend money.
But now, they’ve just destroyed the Li Family, taken over the Crane Spirit Sect, and are preparing to devour the Sea Break Sect. Naturally, the “ticket” in their pockets has increased.
Whenever Hua Xianggu thought of finding more Yin Qi, she immediately considered the Cyan Nether Merchant Association, as she had tried searching in the wild but to no avail.
Indeed, a huge merchant association is different, having everything. Although the prices of these many goods are steep, they are still within a tolerable range.
Wang Tonggu turned to fetch the goods.
Hua Xianggu gazed quietly at his back, wondering if it was possible to turn this Steward into a “colleague,” but she quickly dismissed the idea because the Cyan Nether Merchant Association spans many Cultivation Profound Lands with unfathomable depths. With their current power, they can’t move such a colossal entity.
Despite this, she still had a rather wild idea.
A common tracking sigil flew silently from her hand, landing on the corner of Wang Tonggu’s robe.
In her view, if Wang Tonggu were to play any tricks, now would be the time to do so, and she wanted to see it.
However, the tracking sigil abruptly disappeared as Wang Tonggu turned a corner.
At the same time, a man’s voice reached her ears.
“Fellow Daoist, only once.”
Hua Xianggu squinted her eyes.
’The Cyan Nether Merchant Association even has someone from the Profound Yellow Three Realms sitting in power. These merchant associations are truly above and beyond, unfathomable…’
A moment later, Wang Tonggu returned with a smile, handing two Storage Bags to Hua Xianggu, saying, “Exchange cash for goods, check the goods before paying.”
Hua Xianggu nodded slightly, and her Divine Sense probed into the Storage Bags. Inside, there were as many as five hundred pieces of Yin Qi Crystals, the purity and concentration of which were not inferior to those she obtained on the Giant Dragon Battlefield. This made her extremely delighted, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you get these crystals from?”
This question related to her origin.
Since climbing out of the “real Hua Xianggu’s” tomb, she has always been puzzled about her existence, just as a person is instinctively drawn to ponder “who they are and where they came from,” she, as such a significant Ghost Cultivator, would naturally think about these questions.
A place with Yin Qi is likely to give birth to Ghost Cultivators.
If so, she and Xiao Hanshan were not the only ones in this Star Domain.
Wang Tonggu smiled and said, “Guest, I’m just responsible for selling goods, the supply is handled by the headquarters, I don’t know about that.”
