Free Web NovelChapter 186: Chapter 184: Splurging 10 Million Spirit Stones
Su Qing gradually gathered some news.
The Ring Vine Islands consisted of exactly twelve large islands and numerous smaller ones.
The large islands were named after the twelve Earthly Branches.
Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.
Su Qing was currently on Si Island.
It was said that every one of these large islands had a Nascent Soul Family.
The Nascent Soul Family on this particular island, Si Island, had only one Nascent Soul member.
Zi Island, however, had three Nascent Soul Realm experts, two of whom belonged to the same family.
The third was an Honored Guest Elder of that family.
...
’They’re all Nascent Soul Realm families, so it should be manageable,’ Su Qing thought. ’I don’t think I exposed anything back then, so they probably won’t come looking for trouble.’
If worst came to worst, he would let them have a taste of the new Divine Techniques he had acquired.
He hadn’t had the chance to use them on a Cultivator yet.
...
Su Qing waited for the food to be brought up by the inn.
The taste could only be described as mediocre.
It was no match for the food from a proper restaurant.
「The next day.」
Su Qing traveled from Si Island to Chen Island and continued to browse the Marketplace.
Of course, he also took the opportunity to see what made each island different.
The variety of products here was quite large.
Outside the Marketplace, half of the area was completely sealed off, barring Cultivators from entry.
’Probably used for farming,’ he guessed.
There was no Treasure Tower in the Nether Sea.
Su Qing arrived at the largest Marketplace on Chen Island.
Bishui Heaven.
That was its name.
As soon as Su Qing released the aura of a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, someone hurried over.
A very attractive woman with a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation approached. "Sir, may I ask what you are looking to purchase?"
"What do you sell here? Show me what you have, and I’ll see what I need."
Hearing this, the Female Cultivator figured this gentleman was either a major client or someone just browsing Bishui Heaven out of boredom.
But a person of his stature could not be treated lightly.
She handed him an exquisite book.
It was similar to the catalogs at the Treasure Tower.
Su Qing opened it and began to look through it slowly.
"A Tier Two Pill Formula, the Healing Pill Formula, and the Soul Nourishing Pill Formula. I’ll take one of each."
Su Qing said casually, but his words made the smile on the attending Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s face grow even brighter.
"Yes, Sir. Is there anything else you wish to purchase?"
The two pill formulas were 150,000 Spirit Stones and 100,000 Spirit Stones, respectively.
They were clearly not ordinary pill formulas to be priced so high.
Su Qing silently flipped through the pages.
"The Enlightenment Tree Seed. I’ll take it."
An Enlightenment Tree Seed was only one million Spirit Stones. Su Qing had worked for Ji Qianqiu for a whole year for one, and the thought of it made him feel utterly ripped off.
’I should have come to the Nether Sea sooner.’
The Enlightenment Tree tea leaves were actually quite expensive, at 50,000 Spirit Stones per leaf.
But comparatively, at least they were for sale here.
’It really proves you have to travel far and wide to know how vast and full of wonders the world is.’
"I’ll take three sets of all Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Medicine and Spirit Plant seeds."
A big spender! A truly big spender! The Female Cultivator at his side began to tremble with excitement, her face flushing red as if she had just had an orgasm. She wanted nothing more than to press herself against the Golden Core Realm Cultivator before her.
She had already made up her mind: if this gentleman so much as asked, she would lie down in bed and let him have his way with her. It wouldn’t even matter if he were an old man.
The total value of the order was already approaching three million Spirit Stones.
The Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Medicine and Spirit Plant seeds alone added up to over a million.
...
"One set of Tier Three Dragon Blood Tree Seeds, one set of Tier Three Spring Mango Tree Seed, and one set of Tier Three Soul Nourishing Tree Seed."
"..."
Su Qing listed them off, one by one, ordering many more seeds.
The Female Cultivator beside him looked so excited she was about to jump for joy.
Who was this Great Power, spending millions in one go? This was the first time the Female Cultivator had handled such a large order.
Su Qing continued for a bit more before finally stopping.
"Hmm, that should be all."
Su Qing nodded silently.
"Yes, yes, of course! I’ve written it all down. Sir, please have a seat. I’ll go gather your items at once." The Female Cultivator hurried away. The items Su Qing had ordered totaled nearly ten million Spirit Stones.
Su Qing sat to the side. Another beautiful, scantily-clad Female Cultivator poured tea for him, her gaze practically caressing him.
Suddenly, a Golden Core Cultivator arrived.
A Golden Core High Tier.
"Fellow Daoist, how may I address you?"
"I am Chen Xingfu of the Chen Island’s Chen Family, the manager of Bishui Heaven." The male cultivator smiled, but as he looked at Su Qing’s Black Cloak, his first thought was that this man was here to rob the place.
"I wonder, does this Fellow Daoist have the capital to purchase nearly ten million Spirit Stones’ worth of resources?"
Su Qing remained seated, calmly lifting his teacup for a sip. From beneath his Black Cloak, the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm expert erupted.
In an instant, the Golden Core Cultivator before him turned pale with fright.
Su Qing didn’t make a move, but asked softly, "Now, do you think I have the means?"
Chen Xingfu couldn’t help but tremble, and a Talisman appeared in his hand.
"Of course you do, Sir."
"In fact, Sir, you could have come directly to the Chen Family of Chen Island. My Chen Family would have swept the dust from our gates to welcome your arrival."
Su Qing shook his head. "There’s no need. I am just a buyer, and you are just a seller."
Su Qing took out some pure Water Spirit Stones.
He placed 100,000 Water Spirit Stones on the table in front of him, their Spiritual Qi overflowing.
"Hurry up and bring out my things." Only now did Su Qing truly appreciate how rich Sea-covering Master really was.
’An entire grand hall full of Water Spirit Stones... I just wonder how he died.’
Spending them now felt incredibly satisfying.
The Golden Core Cultivator didn’t move, as the goods had not yet arrived. Faced with a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, the Chen Family, and by extension Chen Xingfu himself, had to show the utmost respect.
"Sir, all the items have been collected."
「A short while later.」
The Female Cultivator ran back, spoke to her manager, and presented a Storage Ring.
Chen Xingfu took it, inspected the contents, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face. "Sir, everything you requested is in this Storage Ring. Please, take a look."
Su Qing took the Storage Ring, looked inside for a moment, and nodded.
"Correct. Everything is here."
Su Qing took his things and left.
"Take care, Sir," Chen Xingfu and the surrounding Female Cultivators all called out to Su Qing’s departing back in their most cordial voices.
...
After leaving Chen Island, Su Qing went into hiding again. His cultivation level gradually, slowly, reverted back to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

「Chen Island, Chen Family Estate.」
"What happened today? Why is there a sudden increase in revenue of nearly ten million Spirit Stones?"
the Chen Family Patriarch asked.
Chen Xingfu replied, "Today, a distinguished guest in a Black Cloak arrived. A Nascent Soul Master."
"A Black Cloak? Nascent Soul Realm? It’s certainly possible for someone like that to spend ten million at our establishment."
"Patriarch, there is something I’m not sure if I should say."
"Speak."
"That gentleman initially revealed a Golden Core Realm cultivation. But after I questioned him, he suddenly displayed a Nascent Soul Realm cultivation."
"He was also wearing a Black Cloak. It’s slightly different from the one described in the Zhang Family’s wanted notice from Si Island," Chen Xingfu said.
The Chen Family Patriarch, who had a youthful appearance, sat in the main seat holding a teacup. After a moment of thought, he raised an eyebrow. "Sell this information to the Zhang Family."
"Sell it for a premium. But don’t get greedy. What direction did he go when he left?"
"I didn’t dare follow him. I can only judge that he was heading toward Mao Island."
"In that case, this information is worth five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, plus one Tier Two Spirit Fruit."
"When we sell to the Zhang Family, we can’t take a loss."
Chen Xingfu hesitated. "Will this displease that gentleman?"
"Who’s to say it was us who told them? Find someone to sell the information secretly."
"That way, it has nothing to do with our Chen Family."
"By the way, what has the Second Elder been up to recently?"
"The Second Elder is refining the Soul Revival Pill," Chen Xingfu replied.
"I see."
