Chapter 657: A New Approach to Buying Treasure Items
Due to the draw, Golden Core Foundation Establishment cultivators were treated equally, and the Cultivation Level couldn’t determine the ownership of the Nine-Headed Dragon Map.
In the end, a Foundation Establishment Perfect cultivator obtained the first purchasing right.
The moment he received the news, the cultivator was ecstatic. Under the focused gaze of the crowd, he immediately took out four hundred Middle Grade Spiritual Stones from his storage bag.
“Taoist friend Wen, here are four hundred Middle Grade Spiritual Stones, please check them over.”
Seeing the Foundation Establishment Perfect cultivator successfully purchase the Nine-Headed Dragon Map, sighs of regret could be heard clearly within the crowd.
Wen Qian confirmed the count of the Spiritual Stones was correct and immediately unlocked the prohibitions on the counter, handing over the Nine-Headed Dragon Map to the Foundation Establishment Perfect cultivator.
The cultivator calmed his excitement and approached a Core Formation middle-aged cultivator.
“Senior, I have not failed your trust and was fortunate to get the first purchasing right, securing this Nine-Headed Dragon Treasure for you.”
“Well done.”
The Core Formation middle-aged cultivator showed a look of approval.
“???”
“Fellow Jiang, what’s going on?”
In the room, the other cultivators were baffled, and another Core Formation True Person, somewhat acquainted with the middle-aged one, voiced the question.
“Nothing much, I was just worried that the chance to buy the Nine-Headed Dragon Map was slim, so I asked a few Foundation Establishment juniors to queue early for the draw. I didn’t expect this method to actually work. This junior managed to get it.”
The middle-aged cultivator laughed heartily, clearly in a very good mood.
“Old rascal!”
“Too shameless!”
These thoughts simultaneously surfaced in the minds of the people, with two other Core Formation True Persons even cursing out loud.
Hiring people to queue for the draw was an excessively unfair move!
As for the Foundation Establishment Perfect cultivator handing over the Nine-Headed Dragon Map to the Core Formation middle-aged man, it was somewhat understandable to the crowd. After all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator possessing a Fifth Rank Treasure would attract much coveting, and this move could dispel many unfavorable thoughts towards him.
“Taoist friend Wen, isn’t this considered cheating?”
One of the Core Formation True Persons asked directly.
“It’s within the rules, so it’s not cheating.”
Wen Qian mused for a moment, speaking slowly. The drawing and selling followed procedure, and how the cultivators dealt with the treasure afterward was none of his concern.
Lu Xuan reflected on a thought, then went to the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce branch. Half a day ago, Master Wen had sent him a message that a Pure and Clear Colored Glaze Tea Spirit Seed had been transferred from the Commerce Association Headquarters.
“Taoist friend Wen.”
On the fourth floor of the branch, inside an elegant room, Lu Xuan looked at the still-charming Wen surname female cultivator with a smile.
“Senior Lu, I have successfully fulfilled the mission. Upon learning from the headquarters that there was a Pure Lustrous Tea Spirit Seed, I immediately requested it to be transported here.”
“The upper echelons at the headquarters learned that it was for Senior Lu and immediately dispatched someone to use the transmission array to send it over.”
The Wen surname female cultivator spoke softly.
She brought over a jade dish that emitted a faint chill to Lu Xuan.
In the center of the jade dish lay a tea seed the thickness of a pinky finger, with a pale green color and surrounded by a circulation of purifying light, emitting a fresh and natural aura from afar.
“Indeed, it is a Pure Lustrous Tea Spirit Seed.”
Lu Xuan nodded. He had originally received the Pure Lustrous Tea Spirit Plant from True Man Qingxu of the Sky Sword Sect when it was just a small sapling. Yet, having cultivated it for many years, he naturally recognized it at first glance.
“You’ve worked hard, Taoist friend Wen. How much is the Spirit Seed?”
He inquired about the price from the female cultivator, as, despite being a Guest Elder of the Commerce Association, the proper procedures still had to be followed.
“Senior Lu holds a prestigious identity within the Commerce Association. You are entitled to a certain discount when purchasing treasures. This Fifth Rank Pure Lustrous Tea Spirit Seed can be taken for eighteen thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”
“No problem, please have a look, Taoist friend Wen.”
Lu Xuan cheerfully took out one hundred and eighty Middle Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to the female cultivator.
A normal Fifth Rank Spirit Seed often sells for no less than twenty thousand Spirit Stones. For a rare variety like the Pure Lustrous Tea, the value would only be higher.
Before he became a Guest Elder, he had bought Fourth Grade Spirit Seeds in the branch, which cost him about five to six thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones each. Being able to purchase at such a price, he was naturally quite satisfied.
“This is the advantage of being backed by a powerful force.”
He looked at the tea seed with the purifying light emerging in his hand and felt reflective.
Back when he was in the Sky Sword Sect, as a Sky Sword Sect Disciple, he obtained a large number of Spirit Seeds from the Agricultural Department Hall, Sword Hall, Authentic Teaching Disciples, and Core Formation True People, which resulted in numerous treasures from the light clusters and a meteoric rise in his cultivation level and strength.
Now, having arrived in Liyang Region and becoming a Guest Elder of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, which was far more powerful than the Sky Sword Sect, accessing high-grade Spirit Seeds had become even easier and more convenient.
It was well known that acquiring Spirit Seeds, such as the Pure Lustrous Tea being a Fifth-Quality Spirit Plant without the corresponding Method of Seed Condensation, was extremely difficult. Yet now, all he needed to do was to request, and the Commerce Association delivered them directly to him.
“Deciding to become a Guest Elder of the Commerce Association was too correct. Being here is like coming home.”
He felt a significant increase in his sense of belonging to the Commerce Association.
