The Abyss Six Surnames moved quickly. When they learned that the Five-Treasure House had a hundred Basic Treasure-Storing Talismans for sale, they sent over six Rotten Spirit Roots the very next day.
This time, they did not show themselves. Instead, they handed the spiritual materials to Pork Belly and had her complete the transaction.
"Only six? They don't want the remaining forty Basic Treasure-Storing Talismans?"
Yang Ling was a little surprised.
Pork Belly smiled and nodded. "They said the last transaction drained quite a bit of their reserves, so they need some time to recover."
That was enough to drain their reserves...? I may need to reassess the Divine Realm's resources...
No, that's not right. The Abyssal Beast Grotto is only part of the Divine Realm. All this means is that the Abyssal Beast Grotto can't absorb large batches of Basic Treasure-Storing Talismans in quick succession.
With that thought, Yang Ling took out sixty Basic Treasure-Storing Talismans and handed them to Pork Belly, then accepted the six Rotten Spirit Roots.
"I'll deliver these to them. You still have more Basic Treasure-Storing Talismans, right? You could sell some at the Five-Treasure House. There's a market for them here too."
With that, Pork Belly hurried away.
After she left, Zhao De and the other two emerged from the back of the hall.
The Grand Ancestor sounded rather wistful. "To think you have so many Basic Treasure-Storing Talismans, young friend. You got them from your dreams, didn't you?"
"Nonsense," Zhao De said flatly. "How could anything from a dream be brought into the real world?
"You're a veteran Earthly Immortal, after all. Stop saying things like that."
Then he stepped forward and placed a hand on Yang Ling's shoulder.
"Let's go."
"Wait, Master!"
Yang Ling barely managed to get those words out before
