A Large Transaction
Noticing the unnatural expressions on the other people's faces, Huang Jing Tian Jingtian said calmly:
"I know what you're thinking. If you had any guts, those Saint's Remains wouldn't be gathering dust in the storeroom."
Upon hearing this, everyone else froze, and even though they had lived for nearly ten thousand years, they still couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
The Saint's Remains are of great benefit to physical cultivation, but not everyone can afford to enjoy them; only those who have reached the Saint Realm are qualified to do so.
However, whether it was because their Heavenly Barbarian Sect's ancestor was too capable, or because their descendants were incompetent, they could not use up all the Saint's Remains.
Just as Huang Jing Tian said, although the Saint's Remains are a resource of the Saint Realm, they can't use them all, so they might as well exchange them for some benefits.
Moreover, Huang Jing Tian was considering more than just that. Through the battle just now, he had gained a fairly good understanding of Xiao Han.
At less than two hundred years old, his strength was comparable to that of Nine Star early stage. Such an achievement would make him an absolute prodigy even among the genius-filled Human Race. Forming a good relationship with him would not be a bad thing.
Furthermore, it was during the battle with Xiao Han that Huang Jing Tian's bottleneck was loosened, allowing him to advance to the Nine Star Dou Sheng in less than five years, thus reducing his thousand years of arduous cultivation. This was an immense favor, and he was not one to be unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Barbarian Sect Clan was large and had a lot of territory. Even though Xiao Han and his companion had destroyed one of their mountain peaks, they easily built a new palace.
Xiao Han also began to negotiate with Huang Jing Tian and other high-ranking members of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect.
The preciousness of the Saint's Remains is self-evident. Even though Huang Jing Tian could arbitrarily sell them to Xiao Han, he would ultimately have to consider the interests of his sect and would never allow Heavenly Barbarian Sect to be taken advantage of and sell the Saint's Remains at a bargain price.
However, Xiao Han didn't care much about these things. In his view, the most difficult step had been completed, and the rest was just icing on the cake. It wouldn't hurt to give up some benefits appropriately.
Xiao Han first stated his needs. "I need a Seven Star Dou Sheng and four Four Star Dou Sheng's Saint's Remains."
No sooner had the former finished speaking than the Elder of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect immediately objected, and Huang Jing Tian also promptly refused, saying, "That's absolutely impossible!"
The higher the level of Saint's Remains, the better the effect. The Heavenly Barbarian Sect doesn't have many remains of Middle Stage Dou Sheng or above. Selling so many at once must be a sign of being blinded by greed!
Then, Huang Jing Tian revealed his bottom line. "We'll give you a maximum of five Low-Level Dou Sheng (Battle Saint's Remains!"
They have a lot of Low-Level Dou Sheng in stock; they wouldn't hesitate to give away one or two, let alone sell them.
"No!" Xiao Han said unwillingly, "At least two Middle Stage Dou Sheng remains and one High-level Dou Sheng remains."
Xiao Han then began to argue with the Heavenly Barbarian Sect members in the main hall. The latter refused to budge, offering only two mid-level Saint's Remains at most.
Xiao Han, on the other hand, was willing to give up everything else to obtain that High-level Dou Sheng's remains. The reason was simple: the higher the grade of the materials, the faster the body would recover after being refined.
If we want that person to reach their original strength during the final battle, the quality of their body material cannot be low.
If it weren't for the extreme rarity of experts of this caliber, where losing even one would cause a major upheaval in the Central Plains, Xiao Han would have secretly killed one of them.
Xiao Han didn't believe the other party was truly unwilling to sell; it was simply that the price wasn't high enough.
Xiao Han slammed his hand on the table and declared, "One High-level Dou Sheng's remains, and ten Rank Ninth Grade Treasure Pill!"
The members of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect: "..."
Is Ninth Grade Treasure Pill really that worthless? Think about my own family's wealth...
Ultimately, they are not worthy!
As for Xiao Han's offer, once they get their hands on it, it's like a Dou Sheng can get a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill, which is very tempting!
But this goes against the principles!
For a moment, everyone was caught in a dilemma!
"Hmm..." Huang Jing Tian said calmly, "According to ancestral rules... the remains of High-level Dou Sheng cannot be traded or given away!"
"So..."
Xiao Han: "Twelve Grade Ninth Grade Treasure Pill!"
He understands! It's just adding money!
d. Fortunately, his wife is Ninth Grade Alchemist. Although the Ninth Grade Pill for reshaping the soul is not easy to refine, she has refined some other Ninth Grade Pill. Combined with the Ninth Grade Pill she robbed back then, it should be enough!
Xiao Han silently shed tears in his heart!
Huang Jing Tian: "..."
The Elder: "..."
They never expected that this person would be so knowledgeable about the rules of the underworld.
Sparrows eating! Isn't that violating ancestral rules? As long as the money's there, you're the ancestor!
"Ahem!" Huang Jing Tian coughed a few times as if nothing was wrong, and said with a smile:
"Since you are so sincere, then our sect will gladly offer you this High-level Dou Sheng's remains!"
"I believe our ancestors would not object to us gifting this treasure to our friends in the Heavenly Barbarian Sect."
"Thank you very much!" Xiao Han's lips twitched slightly as he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, his smile extremely forced.
"Shall we discuss the remains of that Middle Stage Dou Sheng next?"
At this point, the members of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect were quite proactive, after all, this man was a god of wealth, and nothing was more important than turning his fancy tricks into real strength.
Next, Xiao Han also spent a lot of money to buy two more Middle Stage Dou Sheng remains. As for the low-level ones, Xiao Han didn't want them.
One reason was that they looked down on it, while the other was more pragmatic—they were out of pills!
Nearly twenty Grade Ninth Grade Treasure Pill were given away in this way. Xiao Han's hands were trembling as he handed over the Storage Ring containing the huge sum of money under the smiling gazes of Huang Jing Tian and the others.
The wealth that Yi Huang and I had worked so hard to build up over the past few years was wiped out in an instant!
"Take care, sir!" Looking at Xiao Han's back, which showed no sign of lingering, Huang Jing Tian and the others felt a pang of reluctance.
This guy is a good friend; he'll really give you money if you want!
"Sect Master, how about we..." Soon, some Dou Sheng Expert couldn't help but step forward.
This is what getting rich overnight looks like! Next, it's just a matter of dividing the spoils!
"Hmm, two pills each!" Huang Jing Tian did not refuse. The right thing to do was to convert these pills into strength. Pills below the Mysterious Pill would have little effect on Huang Jing Tian now, and would be less effective than fighting Xiao Han.
These pills were naturally meant for other Dou Sheng Expert. The others knew about this, otherwise, no matter how important they were, they wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly in front of their own Sect Master.
Immediately afterward, Huang Jing Tian's expression turned serious. "Go to Central Plains and inquire about this Ice Saint!"
"Our Heavenly Barbarian Sect has been isolated from the world in the southern part of the continent for too long, and we had no idea that such a powerful figure had appeared in the Central Plains!"
"From now on, we must pay closer attention to intelligence regarding Central Plains!"
Everyone else followed Huang Jing Tian's words without question. Although the Heavenly Barbarian Sect had the word "barbarian" in its name, it didn't mean they were stupid.
With thousands of years of experience, even without making a special effort to understand, one's level of interpersonal skills will be roughly the same.
The reason Xiao Han received such a warm welcome from the Heavenly Barbarian Sect was simply because he meant no harm and was also quite powerful; otherwise...
Even so, the sudden appearance of such a powerful figure aroused the vigilance of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect members, and there were some things they needed to understand clearly.
Xiao Han hadn't expected his identity to be questioned, but since he dared to leave no room for doubt, he didn't care.
Even if the Heavenly Barbarian Sect knew he was hiding his strength in Central Plains, they probably wouldn't care. Offending such a benefactor and Martial King would not benefit them.
Xiao Han has now temporarily put the Heavenly Barbarian Sect out of his mind, and this whole ordeal has taken nearly three months.
Xiao Han, who was planning to attend his junior apprentice's Grand Wedding, was thinking about what gift to give when his expression suddenly changed.
