"Senior Xiao, this, that, Spirit Artifact, there are still some that haven't been sold out." The shopkeeper Azure Treasure Pavilion said with fear on his face, "Please give me two more days. I will definitely be able to handle it, and then send all Spirit Stone to you." In order to negotiate the deal first, he said that he could complete it in just one year. It can be said that this time is very tight and no accidents can be tolerated. But just a few days later, Sea Race launched a large-scale invasion, which seriously affected the market transactions and naturally delayed Azure Treasure Pavilion's business. Therefore, until now, nearly half of Spirit Artifact has not been sold. The promised 5.4 million Spirit Stone, but now he can only come up with 3 million. "It's okay. You don't have to be so nervous. I understand your difficulties." Xiao Chen smiled, "Well, you don't have to worry about it anymore, let's just settle the matter according to the current situation." "Those Spirit Artifact that were not sold, I can just take them away this time." As he said that, he pointed at the Spirit Artifact placed on the second floor of the store: "Including the other two rows of Spirit Artifact left in your store, I also collected them at the market price." "Just do the math and see how much Spirit Stone they add up to, and just deduct it from the profit." He did not embarrass the other party because of this. Instead, he offered to acquire more Spirit Artifact. First of all, there is no need. After all, you are a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord. It is really boring to bully the juniors. Secondly, although these things have little sales at the Compassion Sea, they can be taken to New Cultivation World for resale. The key is that there is no need for Xiao Chen to put in any extra effort. When the time comes, he can just package it and hand it over to Zhang Cunfu, and then wait for the money to be counted. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed much easier to have someone to help with chores. No wonder many people like to establish Lineage forces, or even set up their own businesses. Sure enough, there is a reason. Of course, Xiao Chen doesn't have such complicated plans yet. For the time being, he only has Zhang Cunfu and Chen Fan. Hey, those two people seem to be from New Cultivation World. How about finding a tool man here? But Compassion Sea seems to have no suitable candidates here. Chu Tianze is only Foundation Establishment. The cultivation level is too low and it is of no use for the time being. Zhang Shouquan has succeeded Nascent Soul Formation. There should be opportunities to cooperate with each other in the future, but it is unlikely to recruit them. Let's forget it for now and let's see what happens later. Xiao Chen thought about it for a while and felt that he didn't have many chores here at the Compassion Sea. It wouldn't be too much trouble for him to handle it himself, so he wasn't in a hurry to find someone to do it for him. Besides, the most important task here right now is actually hunting Sea Race to collect spiritual materials. Not many people can handle this job, so he still has to do it himself. "Senior, a total of thirty-one items Spirit Artifact are here." While thinking about it, shopkeeper Azure Treasure Pavilion had already moved everything over: "On the left are the fine products you left behind, and on the right are some defective products that are not easy to sell." "If you like it, just take it together." Xiao Chen doesn't want to take advantage of this kind of small advantage. "According to the market price, just give the total number." When he said this, the shopkeeper immediately responded honestly, "In the past two years, transactions have been sparse, and I don't even know whether the price of Spirit Artifact is going up or down." "If we follow the market trends of the past few years, these Spirit Artifacts are probably worth about 1.4 million Spirit Stones." Given the current situation of the Compassion Sea, there is actually no market price for reference. At least that's the case for the shopkeeper. It's just that he doesn't know, Xiao Chen and Gui Yun Market can be used as a reference. If these Spirit Artifacts are taken over there, not to mention they can be sold for two million Spirit Stones, but more than 1.8 million Spirit Stones should not be a big problem. There can be at least a price difference of 400,000 Spirit Stone. Therefore, he directly said, "Then let's calculate it according to the previous market price." So Xiao Chen collected all thirty-one pieces of Spirit Artifact, and at the same time took away the remaining profit of 1.6 million Spirit Stone. After settling this old debt, he continued to walk around the city. Unfortunately, almost no one can be seen elsewhere. Even Spirit Communication Pavilion, which has eight doors open all year round, only has a white-haired old man guarding the half-open south gate. The house has long since lost the bustle of the past, and a sign was even hung at the door. The words "Recent adjustments and suspension of trading" were written on the letter. Judging from the slightly white handwriting, it must have been hanging for some time. "It's all Sea Race's fault. There's no place to listen to books anymore." Xiao Chen Originally wanted to go in and join in the fun and learn about the recent anecdotes, but now he can only give up. With the war and chaos, all businesses have withered, and there is no chance to enjoy it. "It's a pity that this place is closed as well." Xiao Chen turned the corner and saw Golden Flower Workshop with the doors and windows locked. Okay, there's really no place to go now. He shook his head and walked away. After taking a few steps, he accidentally saw the Jade Leaf Commerce Association branch. Of course the branch itself is closed. It's just that Xiao Chen suddenly remembered something important. Why didn't he see Withered Leaf True Monarch when he came this time? Logically speaking, Jade Leaf Commerce Association is also part of the Listening Wave Sea. What about them? At such a critical moment, the movements of every True Lord are important. But Xiao Chen had never heard anything about the Jade Leaf Commerce Association before West Front. This time when they came to the southern route, Cloud Vortex True Monarch and others did not mention it at all. Obviously, this doesn't make sense. For questions you don't understand, the easiest way is to ask them directly. Xiao Chen immediately returned to Cloud Wave Sword Abode and inquired about the relevant situation. In fact, he didn't particularly care where Withered Leaf True Monarch went. Mainly, I also want to know about the situation of Old Master Kuang and Kuang Family. After all, he had promised to take care of the Kuang Family within his ability when they last met. Xiao Chen was not in the Listening Wave Sea before, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn't reach him. But now that I'm here, my words must count. "Jade Leaf Commerce Association." Cloud Vortex True Monarch A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but it was not particularly obvious. He just said lightly, "They escaped in the spirit ship two years ago. They should have arrived at the Storm Sea by now." "I really don't care much about the specific situation. After all, I'm not familiar with them." "Daoist Xiao If you are interested, I will ask the people below if they have any relevant information." "But we don't have many people at the Storm Sea, so the information we get may not be reliable." Although Cloud Wave Sword Abode has sent many disciples there in the past two years, they are all for the purpose of preserving the fire. After arriving at the Storm Sea, most of them changed their faces, concealed their names, and scattered and lurked. Therefore, there are actually only three people dedicated to spying on intelligence, and one is actually a local recruited from the Storm Sea. In fact, it is just a symbolic maintenance of such an intelligence line, without investing any resources in it. But to be honest, the word "unfamiliar" Cloud Vortex True Monarch is a bit angry. You know, the large-scale auction was held jointly by the Jade Leaf Commerce Association and Cloud Wave Sword Abode. There is obviously a certain cooperative relationship between the two parties. Moreover, Jade Leaf Commerce Association can be said to be opened at the doorstep of Cloud Wave Sword Abode. If you were really unfamiliar with this, you would probably have been suppressed long ago. Xiao Chen estimates that this should be a conflict over the issue of Sea Race. For Cloud Wave Sword Abode, they are definitely not willing to give up their ancestral foundation easily, so they have to stay and resist hard. But for the Jade Leaf Commerce Association, they actually have no fixed assets, they are nothing more than a few storefronts. Even if it is lost, the loss is actually not big, at least much smaller than the loss caused by the war. In addition, Sea Race is very aggressive and looks unstoppable. Therefore, out of interest considerations, Withered Leaf True Monarch is naturally unwilling to stay to fight against such a powerful enemy. As a businessman, you must settle your accounts before making a choice and never make a loss-making transaction. However, from the perspective of Cloud Wave Sword Abode, their run felt somewhat like traitors. Although compared to the Illuminating Void Sect's situation of directly surrendering to the enemy, Jade Leaf Commerce Association's choice to run away is much better. But Cloud Wave Sword Abode and several True Lord still have deep grudges in their hearts. It is estimated that they will not only be "unfamiliar" in the future, but also treat each other indifferently. Of course, what their relationship is like is their business. For Xiao Chen, since Jade Leaf Commerce Association has traveled far away to the Storm Sea, Old Master Kuang should have followed suit. In this case, they should be safe for the time being. "So that's what happened." Xiao Chen nodded: "Forget it then, don't bother the people below to ask any more questions." "Actually, I just passed by Fangshi and saw their sign, so I just asked casually." "When it comes to things that interest me, I won't be polite to fellow Daoists. If it's convenient, can you come to the Scripture Pavilion and read it?" You are all here, let me borrow your book collection to read. Don't think that Xiao Chen has seen Scripture Pavilion from several sects before. It seems that this is not necessary. First, the Ancient Books collected by different sects are not the same, and many of them are unique and unique. Just by visiting one or two companies, you will definitely not have a comprehensive understanding. Moreover, on weekdays, sects with good relationships, or practitioners Lineage, often borrow books from each other's collections. Secondly, each sect also has biographies or memoirs written by its elders. This thing is completely different from person to person. Although most of the content in it is not valuable, some historical truths or secrets often have to start here. "Of course it's convenient, it's convenient anytime!" Cloud Vortex True Monarch was not surprised at all when he heard this. He seemed to have been prepared for it. I saw his wide sleeves flicking, and a shiny black iron token appeared in the palm of his hand: "Daoist Xiao Just hold this token, you can go up and down without any obstruction, and you can see whatever you want." "First Floor The disciples on duty have all been instructed in advance. If they want to burn incense and meditate, or if they need to clear the place and be alone, just send them." "Daoist Xiao Just treat this place as your home, don't be polite." Xiao Chen naturally cupped his fists and said thanks first, "Thank you Cloud Vortex Fellow Daoist!" Then he reached out and took the prohibition token. As soon as he took it over, he immediately discovered that there was a line of words engraved in small regular script on the back of the token. This order is specially made to present Daoist Xiao as a token of gratitude for your help. The handwriting is as clear as pine, and there are faint golden glows in the ink, which obviously have been incorporated into the law to distinguish the authenticity. This is not something that can be taken out on the spot, it must be customized at least one day in advance. No, how could you prepare such a thing in advance? It seemed that he noticed Xiao Chen's somewhat surprised look. Cloud Vortex True Monarch showed a slightly satisfied smile and left without saying anything. This thing was indeed ordered by his disciples and rushed to customize it last night, in order to show his sincerity. The reason why he could know Xiao Chen's needs in advance. Naturally, it's because Five Great Sects are of the same spirit. Cloud Vortex True Monarch has already asked Gang Yuan True Monarch about Xiao Chen's hobbies and habits. After learning that he had previously borrowed Scripture Pavilion from the Heavenly Dipper Sect and Ink Barrier Sect, we directly guessed that he had the habit of reading classics. "Was it obvious what I did?" Xiao Chen quickly came back to his senses. "Tsk~! You are really thoughtful." However, it doesn't matter if this habit is guessed by others in advance. After all, this is not a habit of fighting and will not cause any serious consequences. On the contrary, with this customized token, it will be much more convenient to borrow books in the future. It can even be used as a token, after all, this thing is a unique custom-made one. "Let me see what books you have hidden." Xiao Chen came to the Scripture Pavilion and browsed them one by one starting from First Floor. Of course, in the lower layers, he mainly relied on Divine Sense to quickly screen and single out the unread unique books for a look. The main theme is to swallow jujube without asking for any explanation. Only the subsequent content involving Golden Core and above will be read carefully. Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Chen also read all the way to the top level. At this point, Divine Sense is just an auxiliary. He is more accustomed to wrapping the classics in real energy to protect them, and then holding them in his hand to turn the pages and read them. Although this is just a form, it has no actual effect on memory and understanding. But when you hold it in your hand and read it, it feels a little more textured than browsing Divine Sense. "Oh, Heaven Star Sect?" In a quite old book, Ancient Books, which had even been copied twice, Xiao Chen unexpectedly saw a familiar name. And these three characters are all written in Ancient Spirit Script. Including the description below, there are also many paragraphs that were written first, and then attached below Ancient Spirit Script to retain their original content. If it were done before, Xiao Chen would definitely not be able to understand it. But during those days of the Heavenly Dipper Sect, he had already found relevant dictionaries from the Scripture Pavilion and taught himself Ancient Spirit Script. This ordinary conversation is completely understandable. And after mastering this skill, Xiao Chen becomes more like the rumored disciple of Hidden Dao Heritage. To be honest, I had not encountered any relevant situation before that. After all, Ancient Spirit Script had been eliminated for many years, otherwise this rumor would have been disproven long ago. "Heaven Star Sect is so rich?" Xiao Chen read it carefully, and it mentioned that Heaven Star Sect had sent invitations to this place many years ago. Please send someone to witness the other party's feat of hunting down Divine Beast to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. And make the commitment in black and white. As long as the sect that received the invitation is willing to send people to support him, they will cover all the losses incurred by driving the spirit boat on the way back and forth. Each mission was also given an additional ten Fourth-Order Spirit Fruit, ten bottles of Fourth-Order Spirit Pill, one hundred kilograms of fourth-level spiritual jade, and one thousand kilograms of fourth-level spiritual ore. "A hundred pounds?" Xiao Chen wanted to go to the festival after seeing it. "The unit Jin is rare among Fourth-Order Spiritual Item."
