A Big Business!

Call!

A magical flying boat soared through the clouds high in the sky.

Zhou Hao and Liu Yu stood by the ship's railing, gazing at the vast land stretching out before them.

"Senior brother," Liu Yu asked, "Will Senior Sister Yu Chan and the others be in danger going to the Wu River Immortal Mansion with Shaoyan Nong?"

"It was just a close call," Zhou Hao said with a slight smile.

Previously at Winged Serpent Lake, Shaoyan Nong explained his purpose: to ask for everyone's help in completing the test given to him by his clan and exploring an ancient immortal Immortal Mansion.

The lair of a fallen celestial being is likely to contain many secret techniques, treasures, and even celestial-grade magic weapons. It was explored by the Shaoyan Clan and used as a test site for their next leader, so the danger wouldn't be too exaggerated.

Not to mention Ji Ning, Jiu Lian, Yu Wei, and the other three, who were moved, even Yun Yuchan and Lin Xia'er were somewhat tempted after hearing it.

A Immortal Mansion is far too tempting for these prodigies who are merely at the Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Realm.

But Zhou Hao didn't care about any of these things.

Moreover, he knew very well that even if he wanted to go, Shaoyan Nong wouldn't dare to agree.

After all, judging from the subordinates and helpers that Shaoyan Nong brought and invited, apart from an ancient god-demon servant at the Nascent Soul level, there wasn't even a single Primordial Spirit Daoist.

It's clear he wouldn't allow anyone stronger than himself to join the expedition.

Therefore, Zhou Hao communicated with everyone telepathically and then left Winged Serpent Lake with Liu Yu.

"If he knew that the helper he traveled so far to invite would ultimately lead him to his doom, I wonder what he would think."

According to the original plot, Shaoyan Nong's tribe, the Shaoyan Clan, was the culprit who destroyed Ji Ning's mother's tribe. After successfully completing the test and refining the Wu River Immortal Mansion, Shaoyan Nong became complacent and tried to turn against Ji Ning, but was killed by Ji Ning.

Zhou Hao shook his head, no longer wanting to think about these messy things.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

Moreover, this little Shaoyan Nong can't even arouse my interest in watching a play.

After a day of sightseeing, Zhou Hao and Liu Yu finally returned to their residence in Anchan City after two days.

At this moment, the Asura God's avatar had also returned from the Earth Ruins Realm.

... Anchan City, West City, Tianbao Mountain.

Upon receiving Zhou Hao's telepathic message, the Immortal Danxia who came out to greet them saw two figures approaching from afar.

Walking in front was Zhou Hao, dressed in green. He walked slowly, and Immortal Danxia felt an invisible aura rushing towards him.

The shiver that rose from the bottom of her heart in that instant even made her feel like she couldn't breathe.

"This is the divine and demonic avatar of the Immortal of Changsheng? It's terrifying!" Immortal Danxia was shocked and trembled.

She was at Tianbao Mountain, and even celestial beings had seen and received her.

This was the first time that an invisible aura had made her feel powerless to resist.

Even the burly, red-faced servant following Zhou Hao made Immortal Danxia's heart pound with fear, knowing that he was a far stronger being than himself.

"Immortal of Changsheng." Immortal Danxia barely suppressed his shock and bowed respectfully.

"Danxia." Zhou Hao nodded slightly. "I'm here this time to sell a batch of immortal-grade magic treasures."

"A Celestial-grade magic weapon? And a whole batch of them?" Immortal Danxia's eyes lit up, and he felt the oppressive aura that had been making his heart pound instantly soften.

This is a big business opportunity!

"Changsheng Immortality, this way please." Immortal Danxia hurriedly led the way, bringing Zhou Hao and Zhurong Ying into a luxurious hall.

Various kinds of immortal wines and spiritual fruits have been arranged in the hall.

Zhou Hao didn't waste any words and simply waved his hand.

Wow~~~

Suddenly, a vast array of magical treasures, along with various rare materials and exotic items, appeared on the floor of the hall.

"Four hundred and twenty-seven celestial-grade magic treasures, plus various rare materials, immortal herbs, elixirs, and protective artifacts," Zhou Hao said calmly. "You can calculate the approximate price."

"Sky!"

Even though the Immortal Danxia was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback and couldn't recover for a long time.

Four hundred and twenty-seven immortal-grade magic treasures, and so many rare and precious materials... If converted into Origin Liquid, it would weigh at least hundreds of millions of kilograms!

"Please have a seat, Changsheng. Just tell me what you'd like to eat. Today's expenses are on me," Immortal Danxia said warmly.

Normally, even a single immortal-grade magic weapon would be enough to be sold as the grand finale item at a treasure-hunting event, yet there are over four hundred of them here.

I don't need to worry about my performance evaluation for the next hundred years.

"Old Zhu, have a seat," Zhou Hao said to Zhurong Ying. "You can also order some of your favorite dishes."

"Yes, Master," Zhurong Ying replied.

Besides being a place for trading treasures, Tianbao Mountain is also a top-notch place for enjoyment, and of course, it has no shortage of various delicacies.

Soon, the maids brought out platters of rare and exotic delicacies.

Zhou Hao and Zhurong Ying were leisurely eating and drinking.

The Immortal Danxia stood aside, carefully examining each magical artifact. He then categorized all the magical artifacts and rare items, working on them for a good half hour.

"The Immortal of Changsheng possesses 427 Immortal-grade magic treasures. Of these, 401 are ordinary, 23 are mid-grade, and 3 are high-grade. Adding these rare and precious materials..." After calculating for a moment, the Immortal Danxia took a deep breath and said, "The most valuable one is approximately 1.056 billion jin of Origin Liquid."

As he finished speaking, the Immortal Danxia's voice trembled slightly.

More than one billion jin of Origin Liquid.

Even the entire fortune of a celestial being wouldn't amount to much.

"Hmm, not bad." Zhou Hao nodded.

It was roughly in line with my previous estimate.

"Besides the remaining 5.6 million catties of Origin Liquid, I also need 300 million catties of Origin Liquid, as well as 30 high-grade Immortal-rank Spirit Pills," Zhou Hao said.

The Origin Liquid is for the main body to cultivate the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability and to nourish the Blue Flower in the Purple Mansion space. As for the high-grade immortal elixir, it is prepared for the Asura God's avatar.

These high-grade celestial pills are generally used by celestial beings to instantly replenish their depleted magical power during life-or-death battles.

The purity of its Origin Power is such that a single grain is enough to rival the magical power of a celestial being.

If an ordinary Myriad Phenomena True Person or Primordial Spirit Daoist were to consume this, it would be enough to burst their Primordial Sea and cause their Purple Mansion to shatter!

Normally, even celestial beings wouldn't be so extravagant as to take such a elixir; at most, they would keep a few ordinary celestial-grade elixirs on hand for use in critical moments.

His clone was Asura God, whose Purple Mansion Origin Sea was far more powerful than that of a normal human. Since he was going to venture into the Earth Ruins Realm Main Continent, he naturally needed to prepare more high-grade immortal pills.

Furthermore, if one encounters other celestial immortals in the Earth Ruins Realm who have something they need, they can exchange it for high-grade celestial elixirs.

In transactions at the Celestial Immortal level, high-grade Celestial Elixir is considered a more valuable form of currency than Origin Liquid.

"No problem," Immortal Danxia replied. "What about the rest?"

Thirty high-grade immortal pills and three high-grade immortal magic treasures are enough to exchange for it, plus 35.6 million catties of Origin Liquid, there's still some left over.

"The rest I need are the natural energy veins of wood and earth that can be used to cultivate Purple Mansion, as well as rare treasures that can nurture the five elements of evil energy to the first rank of heaven," Zhou Hao said.

"The rare treasures that nurture the five elements of malevolent energy are simple," Immortal Danxia nodded. "The malevolent energy veins of the wood and earth elements may need some time."

Tianbao Mountain covers the entire Xia Clan Great World. In such a vast area, there will always be people who have the opportunity to discover the evil energy veins, but they will not be able to use them.

For safety reasons, many people would sell the information to Tianbao Mountain.

After all, Tianbao Mountain is backed by the Great Xia Dynasty, and compared to trading directly with other cultivators, Tianbao Mountain is more trustworthy.

"Once you find the evil energy vein and the rare item I need, if there's any left, exchange it for Origin Liquid for me," Zhou Hao said.

As for the list of items required for the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade to advance to an innate spiritual treasure, he didn't even mention it.

There's no way I can afford it.

My math isn't good, and the economic system in the original work is a bit messy, so I can only guess at it.

Please forgive any mistakes.
