"What benefits do you want?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"I've long heard of Alchemy King Lu's great name. I imagine you're not short on pills. It's terribly difficult for my little ones to advance to the Integrated Body Realm. If Alchemy King Lu is willing to give us a few Soul-Convergence Pills, then the spirit-crystal vein at Black Marsh Mountain will be yours for the taking." The leader of the Marsh-Sand Demon Ants gave a low chuckle.
"A few Soul-Convergence Pills? You've got quite the nerve to ask. I'll sell you one for five million low-grade spirit crystals. That's all you're getting," Lu Xiaotian said bluntly. Under ordinary circumstances, a Soul-Convergence Pill went for around three or four million low-grade spirit crystals, occasionally fetching close to four million at auction.
But the Chaotic Demon Realm was in turmoil, and pills and magical treasures alike were in high demand. High-grade spirit pills were especially sought after, and Soul-Convergence Pills, among the rarest of high-grade spirit pills, naturally couldn't be valued by ordinary standards.
Even if Lu Xiaotian had any on hand, he needed to save them for Dong Feng, Jin Yu, and the Page Stone Clan members nearing a breakthrough. At a time like this, even if someone else had spirit crystals, he might not be willing to sell them a pill.
"One Soul-Convergence Pill for five million low-grade spirit crystals? You've got quite the nerve. Looks like Alchemy King Lu has no intention of taking this spirit-crystal vein." The leader of the Marsh-Sand Demon Ants looked displeased.
"I certainly intend to take the vein. But you've got one thing wrong: comparing yourself to Jia Xiaolin and expecting the same terms is thinking far too highly of yourself. Don't assume I can't deal with you just because you're at Black Marsh Mountain.
