Wind Spirit Stone, the Astonished Ouroboros Caravan! (Continued)
Immediately afterwards, whirlwinds swirled around the surface of the entire boulder, and countless tiny blue particles condensed in the air.
These cyan particles gathered together and quickly coalesced into a unique humanoid creature.
They are composed entirely of wind element particles, and are extremely small, only thirty or forty centimeters in length.
It has a pair of wings on its back that are as thin as cicada wings, which can create a gentle breeze when they are gently flapped.
Shen Xing stared blankly at this scene.
Even the orcs nearby were stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen such a unique creature.
"These are the Wind Spirit, also known as Sylph."
Lila explained softly, "These are very Rare creatures. They have little combat ability, but they can greatly help the development of the territory."
"They can manipulate the power of the wind to quickly harvest crops in the fields while simultaneously sowing seeds."
"In addition, it can provide a continuous source of wind power for windmills or other devices, which can save a lot of resources in the long run."
"Where Wind Spirit gather, air circulation becomes exceptionally smooth, and pests and diseases decrease."
She paused, then continued, "And this Wind Spirit Stone in front of you can condense one or two Sylph every week."
After listening, Shen Xing's eyes showed a look of sudden realization.
If what Lila said is true, then these Wind Spirit are indeed remarkable creatures, truly capable of getting things done.
With these, the workers only need to focus on clearing the wasteland and watering it periodically.
The work of sowing and harvesting can be entrusted to these Wind Spirit, greatly improving efficiency.
"I see, it is indeed a remarkable creature." Shen Xing nodded, then asked, "Miss Lila, are you planning to sell this stone to me?"
"Yes." Lila nodded slightly. "After much thought, I concluded that you are the most suitable lord to possess this Wind Spirit Stone, so I brought it with me."
However... the price might be a little expensive.
She explained softly, "You may not know this, but these Wind Spirit Stones are extremely rare, and they only have a chance of being born in dangerous places where the wind element is extremely concentrated."
Places such as the 'Bleak Wind Great Rift,' the 'Sky-Rending Eye of the Wind,' and the 'Wind God Cliff.'
"We also found this Wind Spirit Stone at the site where a wind dragon fell."
"That wind dragon was extremely powerful in life, and even in death it possessed terrifying power, with its wind core continuously unleashing gale-force winds."
"The area within a hundred miles has become a no-go zone for living beings; Common who approaches will be instantly torn to shreds."
"We lost quite a few men this time to find this wind stone on the outskirts, so please forgive us, Lord Shen Xing."
After listening to her explanation, Shen Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.
Although he didn't know the origin of this Wind Spirit Stone, he knew that obtaining such a treasure would not be easy.
"It's alright, Miss Lila, name your price. I'm really interested in this stone."
Lord Shen is now incredibly wealthy and powerful.
Last time I found some Gold Coin Mushroom and Silver Coin Mushroom in the Mushroom Kingdom. After taking all the silver coins off them, my assets have exceeded two million.
Later, in the Spiral Labyrinth, they obtained more than six million silver coins, with Shen Xing alone receiving half of the resources.
The total amount of silver coins I currently possess exceeds six million.
After this ranking event concluded, another one million silver coins were awarded.
Including the costs of building those arrow towers recently, he still has... a full 5.43 million silver coins!
That's a pretty astonishing number; enough to buy 10 Epic.
Vice President Lila thought for a moment, then slowly said, "How about... three million silver coins?"
Upon hearing this price, the chamber of commerce members nearby all showed expressions of surprise.
One of the young men couldn't help but step forward and whisper, "President... isn't this a bit too low?"
"We've already given nearly two million silver coins in compensation to our fallen brothers..."
"Add in all the transportation costs, hiring fees, and so on, and we'll lose money on a price of three million."
Lila glanced at him indifferently, and the young man immediately stiffened and retreated.
As a peak Tier Three lord, and with his Mental Power Control about to break through to the third level, how sharp are Shen Xing's senses?
Naturally, he listened to every word the other person said.
"Miss Lila, let's stick to the normal price."
Shen Xing said, "Although we have a good relationship, friends are friends and business is business; we still need to keep that separate."
Lila paused slightly, then nodded and said, "Lord Shen Xing is absolutely right; business and friendship should be kept separate."
"In that case, how about we sell this stone for 4.5 million?"
Shen Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem."
Although, given Vice President Lila's personality and her 35-point favorability rating, Shen Xing could have bought her for three million.
But the other party had already given him a group of Flame Lizardman for free; he couldn't keep taking advantage of others, could he?
In business, it's all about give and take.
And... Shen Xing needs her help with something.
[Transaction successful! You have gained the 'Wind Spirit Stone (Orange)', but you have lost 4,500,000 Vinar Silver Coin...]
At this moment, Lila looked at the bag full of gold and silver coins in her hands, and cupped her hands in greeting.
"Thank you very much, Lord Shen Xing. You are a very good person, both as a business partner and as a friend."
Shen Xing replied with a smile, "I should thank you; you brought me another nice thing."
Lila smiled slightly. "Then the deal is done, we won't linger here any longer."
"Please keep an eye out for them when someone from headquarters arrives in a while."
As she spoke, she turned around, preparing to jump back onto her horse.
"Wait a minute, Vice President Lila, I need to talk to you about something." Shen Xing quickly called out to her.
The spirited young woman paused, then asked in confusion, "What is it?"
"President Lila, would you like to make another deal with me?"
Lila's expression shifted slightly, as if she had realized something. "Lord Shen Xing, do you have anything you'd like me to sell?"
"That's right."
Shen Xing didn't keep anyone in suspense; he simply waved his right hand and took out a [Rejuvenation Pill].
The moment the dumpling appeared, a rich, refreshing fragrance filled the entire open space.
"Suck..."
Everyone took a deep breath, their faces showing expressions of rapture.
Even Lila's eyes widened.
The moment Shen Xing took out the pill, she realized that this thing was definitely not an ordinary object.
The life force contained within it made even a Master Rank expert like her feel comfortable all over, and her body felt lighter than ever before.
"What amazing dumplings!" she exclaimed. "They not only contain a rich life force, but also an extremely unique aura."
"Lord Shen Xing... what is this?"
"We've recently developed a new food product with incredibly powerful effects," Shen Xing explained. "You can try one and see how it works."
With that, he waved his hand gently, and the [Rejuvenation Pill] flew automatically toward Lila.
The spirited young woman grabbed it and examined it closely for a moment.
The chamber of commerce members nearby looked worried and seemed to want to come over and dissuade him.
After all, this is outside. As the heir to the Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce, she has countless eyes watching her. How could she possibly accept food from others?
But before these people could even get over, Lila threw it into her mouth without a moment's hesitation.
"Gulp..."
With a clear swallowing sound, she had swallowed the 'Rejuvenation Pill'.
The group of chamber of commerce members stared blankly at this scene, their expressions becoming quite interesting.
Some were utterly shocked, some were terrified, and others wore expressions of helplessness.
Just then, Lila took a deep breath, and a pure life force surged forth.
Everyone could feel that her aura had become incredibly fluid at this moment, as if years of pent-up resentment had been swept away.
Even more miraculously, a faint white light began to emanate from the surface of her body.
The spirited young woman's skin became even more radiant and glowing, and her eyes gained an indescribable sparkle.
This [Rejuvenation Pill] can restore the user's youth and revitalize their body.
But Lila is only eighteen years old this year, right in the prime of her youth.
Even so, it still produced amazing results on her.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Even a blind person could see how amazing the effects of this pill were.
"By the God of Wealth..."
Lila gently stroked her cheek, her face filled with disbelief. "This pill not only cleared away the old wounds accumulated in my body, but also made my body feel lighter and my skin better."
"Lord Shen Xing, what kind of miraculous medicine is this!?"
Her voice trembled.
Shen Xing explained with a smile, "This is called the [Rejuvenation Pill], which was just developed in my territory."
"Even one pill is enough to heal injuries, clear bruises, and improve physical condition when taken regularly."
"Of course, that's not its most valuable aspect."
"Its true value lies in its ability to keep the user's body youthful."
"One pill can delay aging by 10 years, and the effects are cumulative with multiple uses!"
Upon hearing this introduction, everyone in the Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce was momentarily stunned, then erupted into an uproar!
"By the God of Wealth, can aging be slowed down and youth restored? Such a miraculous medicine actually exists!"
"Ten years? That's impossible! Even the 'Fairy Dew' concocted by that Grandmaster Rank alchemist in the royal city can only last for three years!"
"Incredible... How incredibly valuable must even one of these pills be?"
The crowd gasped in surprise, some even instinctively finding it hard to believe.
But Lila knew perfectly well that what Shen Xing said was true.
She could clearly feel the magical power contained in that pill still circulating within her body.
