Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Sanyuan City, Shop Owner Murong Zhi
“Just take it,” Ye Feng said, then directly tapped into the power of the Heroic Spirits.
Baixue Ding found her hands moving beyond her control, actually reaching out to accept the bag of Spirit Stones. Realizing this was one of Ye Feng’s astonishing techniques, her heart trembled with awe, and she immediately felt reverence.
“Ru Yu, heal Yun Jie.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
Yan Ruyu walked over to Huo Yunjie, stretched out both hands, and released a gentle Life Spirit Force. Huo Yunjie felt a warm comfort throughout his body as all his damaged meridians rapidly healed, and in a short moment, he was fully recovered.
“Thank you, Junior Sister Ru Yu!”
Huo Yunjie leapt to his feet, moved around to test his body, and discovered he had no discomfort. The injury had unexpectedly expanded his meridians, and it wouldn’t be long before he could attempt to reach the Peak of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement.
“What kind of technique is this?”
Surprise was written all over Baixue Ding’s face.
In her understanding, one needed to take healing medicine for injuries, so why was it that Huo Yunjie was completely healed just by absorbing a bit of soft light?
Yan Ruyu, with pride on her face, explained, “This is my talent; no matter how severe the injury, I can heal it.”
Despite the explanation, Baixue Ding was still a bit dazed.
A healing talent, it sounded magical. Could this be the legendary special constitution? Baixue Ding thought to herself.
As soon as his injuries were healed, Huo Yunjie bounced around energetically, then he realized a question and quickly asked Ye Feng, “Sect Master Uncle, Junior Sisters, how did you know I was injured?”
“Mu Ruxue went to Misty Peak and spoke of your situation,” Ye Feng patted Huo Yunjie’s shoulder, “She praised you as a Sword Dao prodigy. Work hard and your future will be bright.”
Hearing that it was Mu Ruxue who had told them, Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding exchanged glances, feeling surprised.
To both of them, Mu Ruxue did not seem like someone who would take the trouble to go to the Misty Sect to report such minor matters.
At that moment, Ye Feng asked, “Yun Jie, now that your injuries are healed, what do you plan to do next?”
“Sect Master Uncle, I have already grasped the essence of the Sword Drawing Technique. Please allow me to continue tempering myself in the outside world. After some time, I’m certain I’ll master it,” Huo Yunjie knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng helped Huo Yunjie up, “That’s your decision, and as the Sect Leader, my first response is to support you. Stand up!”
“Thank you, Sect Leader!” Huo Yunjie quickly stood up.
“Since you’ve recovered, this Sect Leader also plans to leave… Oh yes, is there a Merchant Alliance near the Ancient Town of Quicksand where one can buy the second volume of “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”?” Ye Feng asked Baixue Ding.
“Yes, if you follow the Flowing Water River downstream, about one hundred fifty li away, there’s a One-Star-Level City that houses a branch of the Myriad Commerce Alliance,” Baixue Ding, being a local, knew very well.
Hearing it was the Myriad Commerce Alliance, Ye Feng couldn’t help but curl his lip, thinking to himself that the Myriad Commerce Alliance truly lived up to its reputation as a bunch of rich merchants, establishing branches everywhere.
“Thanks!”
Ye Feng expressed his gratitude, then with Yan Ruyu and Mo Ying, boarded the Spirit Boat and sped along the Flowing Water River at full speed.
Huo Yunjie, with the Cold Light Sword on his back, looked towards the direction in which Ye Feng was departing and clenched his fists involuntarily.
“Sect Master Uncle is actually going to purchase the second volume of the Basic Cultivation Technique “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”. It seems that Junior Sister Mo Ying is about to reach her bottleneck and is preparing to break through to the Element Gathering Realm. I can’t fall behind either!”
Having said that, Huo Yunjie performed the starting pose for the Sword Drawing Technique, staring at a tree in the courtyard, attempting once more to condense the Spiritual Energy within his body.
High above the Flowing Water River.
The spirit boat soared higher and higher.
Ye Feng’s gaze swept over the soaring mountains and saw the one-star city that Baixue Ding had mentioned.
Mo Ying took out the map to look, and then said, “This city is named Sanyuan City. It is protected by three cultivators at the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, and the City Lord’s Mansion even has more than ten Element Gathering cultivators, making it much stronger than Whitefloat City.”
“Three Element Gathering cultivators? No wonder it’s called Sanyuan City,” Ye Feng muttered.
Mo Ying shook her head and explained, “Sanyuan City was established two hundred years ago as a distribution center for goods. Everything was sold for three copper coins, so the city was named Sanyuan City after it was built.”
“Ah… I see!” Ye Feng said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
The spirit boat was fast.
When night fell, the trio had already arrived at Sanyuan City.
Although Ye Feng did not show his strength, with Mo Ying, a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement by his side, they were able to deter many with ill intentions and smoothly reached the Myriad Commerce Alliance branch.
“Welcome honored guests, what would you like to purchase?”
As soon as they entered the Myriad Commerce Alliance, several dignified and beautiful maids approached them. They seemed to be of a higher class than those at the branch in Whitefloat City.
“I want the second volume of “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”,” said Ye Feng, as the Sect Leader, naturally, he was the one to speak.
When the maids heard it was Ye Feng, a man of no cultivation level, speaking, their faces remained indifferent, and although they were somewhat surprised, their professional etiquette led them to smile and say, “Honored guest, the second volume of “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan” requires one thousand five hundred lower grade spirit stones.”
“Why is it more expensive by half than other stores?” Ye Feng was surprised.
“Our store includes the practice insights of ten Element Gathering experts with the technique, so we charge an extra five hundred spirit stones. However, if the honored guest does not require them, you can just purchase the original,” the reception maid explained.
Ye Feng looked at Mo Ying and Yan Ruyu, “Do you need the cultivation insights?”
“If possible, we should take them,” Mo Ying nodded, as having the cultivation insights of predecessors could save them from many detours.
“Alright, here are one thousand five hundred lower grade spirit stones,” Ye Feng placed the spirit stones on the table, and immediately a rich spiritual pressure spread out.
Ever since he looted the Tiger General’s underground treasury, Ye Feng had found himself becoming increasingly wealthy, and the amount of spirit stones would grow even more once Xie Jiaren sold the high-grade spirit beast feed.
“Here is the cultivation technique and practice insights you requested.”
The maid placed a special treasure box on the table. Opening it, there was a brand-new cultivation technique inside, the second volume of “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”.
In addition, there were ten ancient tomes of varying thickness, all containing the cultivation experiences and insights of other Element Gathering cultivators.
Ye Feng picked up the ancient tomes and found they were made from special materials that wouldn’t rot in water, burn in fire, or crack in ice. The handwriting was neat and clear, able to be preserved for tens of thousands of years, and indeed worth the price.
“Do you require anything else, honored guest?” the reception maid asked.
Someone who could casually produce one thousand five hundred spirit stones was indeed a true honored guest in their eyes, and their attitude became even more cordial.
“I need to sell some unused spiritual artifacts and spiritual medicine. Does Myriad Commerce Alliance purchase these?” Ye Feng asked.
“Of course we do.” A woman who was at the peak of Ninth Layer Qi Refinement came out from behind the bead curtains. She wore delicate makeup, her long dress trailing the ground, moving as though she were a floating spirit butterfly, with a fragrant breeze following her.
“Greetings to the store owner,” a few reception maids hastily performed a courtesy.
“I am the owner of this branch, Murong Zhi, also an appraiser. May I ask what treasures the honored guest wishes to sell?”
The woman gave Ye Feng a curtsy, her smile as charming as a blooming flower.
