“What is happening? Why is that trash buying all these useless basic pills?”

Not only the trading hall was shocked by the news, but pretty much every merchant that was frequent here was in a frenzy.

Within the Jiefu City, in a suite of the neighboring hall, Feng Yu frowned. He looked down at a loss.

“No matter how dumb you are, there should be a limit. 250 million naxi pills, 250 energy-containing pills... and also an unlimited amount of weapons and armor. Don’t the people around him know how to stop him? What is that Zong Shou planning? Is there other deep meaning within all this?”

Hearing Feng Yu mutter, Xiong Kui smiles instead, “Seems like the news of Zong Weiran leaving the prince a sizeable fund before he disappeared was true. Hundreds of thousands of beast crystals, just the amount he took out today was enough to compete with many hidden sects...”

Feng Yu scoffed coldly. Why would he bother about this? No matter how much money the prince had, it was stored in Sanlu Bank and they couldn’t take it. With the support of the few large sects under the Sword Sect, as long as they thought Zong Shou was threatened or unwilling, they could decline taking out money for him. Even the head of the 10 shrines the Tailing Sect wouldn’t dare to make noise, much less them.

“Cut the crap, what is your Blazing Flame Mountain planning?”

“Like you, wait!”

Xiong Kui sighed slightly as he walked to the window, “God knows what that trash is planning? Our Blazing Flame Mountain has stored up quite several basic pills. We have roughly 80 million. Along with purchasing from the subsidiary cities, we have around 170 million. What a great chance to get rid of them. Moreover, if we don’t do this business someone else would!”

Feng Yu similarly looked down, only to see that within that 60 thousand feet round hall human heads moved. Numerous people were speaking and exchanging thoughts.

“I don’t care for what reason he is doing it. He is crazy.”

Xiong Kui said as he glanced at Feng Yu, saying coldly, “Both of us are smart people. Why say these words to misdirect? Selling these pills would be enough to let my Blazing Flame Mountain expand by 200 thousand and support them for 3 years. Aren’t you planning the same thing? As long as we occupy a few more of the mind stone veins in Ying Dragon Valley from Gantian Mountain, it won’t matter if this trade is profitable or not. It would still be worth it for you right?”

Feng Yu smiled, “What a person. Your flame bear bloodline is an anomaly out of the bear race!” He walked out of the room into the distance.

“Scoff! Isn’t your wind leopard race the same?”

Xiong Kui scoffed coldly. Then, his eyes turned serious, thinking carefully about what was going on behind this huge trade. After a short while, he mocked, “That trash is probably just stupid...”

With so much money, isn’t it good to use it to expand? Or hire a few more experts to protect his life... Why buy basic pills, how dumb!

...

When he walked out of the auction hall, under the knife-like eyes of the rest, Zong Shou had more earth energy pills. action

He bought it at a low price, just spending 6 thousand grade 4 mind stones.

The human pinnacle pill caused someone who didn’t know anything about the martial path to reach xiantian in a few years. Not only were their roots really firm, but their lives would also be extended by a hundred years. Normally it would sell for 1500 grade 4 mind stones.

The effect of this earth energy pill was slightly stronger, and its effects were miraculously quick. As long as one was an earth chakra expert below 7 meridians, anyone who ate it could open a meridian. Xiantian masters below 3 meridians could even open 2-3 meridians up.

Their normal prince should be around 25 thousand grade 4 pills. It was really expensive and basically, only Xuanwu ancestors about to breakthrough would buy them. Within Donglin Cloud Continent, around 40 will circulate each year. Even those shrine sects didn’t have many of them.

Even huge sects like Pill Fountain Sect famous for Pill refining would refine once in two years and each time there would be less than 49 pills.

During the auction, the auctioneer started at 1500 thinking that these earth energy pills could at least sell for above ten thousand.

In the end when Zong Shou made his bid no one dared to compete. In the end, he won with a bid of several beast crystals higher than the base price to get these earth energy pills.

“Young master you are such a bully!”

Chuxue’s eyes had smiled into a crescent moon, “Those few people are crazily mad. However their shirts are familiar, they look similar to that Fang Shu...”

Zong Shou smiled, to be able to take extra earth energy pills out to auction here, apart from Pill Fountain Sect who else could?

However, people of this era were righteous and honest. Or maybe they didn’t think that such a thing would happen and so they didn’t prepare for it.

This time, it was a surprise.

Hu Zhongyuan stared at the pill in Zong Shou’s hand, his eyes glowing. Drool couldn’t help but drip down the sides of his lips. He desired it badly.

Zong Shou smiled and waved one of them in front of his face, “If you dare to eat it, I’ll give you one.”

Hu Zhongyuan was first surprised, but a short moment later, he felt depressed, hanging his head low. He didn’t dare to eat it without any instructions. He could only look as Zong Shou casually kept the few pills into his sleeves, filled with regret.

Then, they saw the expressions of the people around them become solemn. Hu Zhongyuan also looked forwards solemnly.

They saw over ten people with different auras looking over at Zong Shou.

2 of them were people he had seen before not long ago. It was that Yunxia Mountain Feng Yu and the Blazing Flame Mountain Xiong Kui. However, at this moment, they were smiling. They didn’t have the coldness from before, and their faces looked like that of businessmen.

They were slightly behind either strong Xuanwu ancestors or Return to Sun spirit masters, restricting their auras. If he was correct, most of them came from those hidden sects and were their managers within Jiefu City.

Two leaders smiled and nodded towards Zong Shou, “Pill Fountain external deacon Fang Chen, greets the prince.”

The other opened his mouth, “I am the external deacon of Kongqi Sect Qiao Han. We came to do business with the prince.”

Zong Shou was delighted. Only 4 hours had passed since he had released the news. Their reactions were pretty quick.

He didn’t have much to speak to these people. The transaction location was directly chosen at Sanlu Bank.

If you were dealing through the bank, one needed to pay one percent of the commission, but it could make one feel safe. The pills bought could also be directly stored in the bank.

Without needing to talk about the prince, Zong Shou held 90 grade 7 beast crystals and soul stones, many grades 6 ones too. They were all things that cultivators and spirit masters craved for. As for those basic pills, they were things the powers wanted to get rid of, so they obviously couldn’t sell it at normal price, selling in bulk 30% below market rate. If one wasn’t willing then they could scram! He would rather not do their business.

Naturally, at this moment such a huge amount of spirit pills couldn’t be transported over in such a short time.

What Zong Shou liked were those sects with heaven and earthbags which made transporting easy. Those other Cloud Continent powers were the most inconvenient. It was okay for bigger cities like Blazing Flame and Yunxia Mountain. As for the smaller ones, they could forget about transporting their pills over here.

Luckily Sanlu Bank had many branches number over a hundred which were split up around Donglin Cloud Continent. They only needed to transport them over within 5 days to a branch and the deal would be considered completed.

However, with that, the bank naturally needed to take a commission. That made Zong Shou annoyed so he had to directly lower the price by 5% before he was

satisfied.

Only the gazes from the other people made him annoyed. Before the deal, they sucked up to him, but once it ended, their eyes were filled with a mocking expression.

Especially the external deacon of Pill Fountain Sect Fang Chen, who directly sold 500 million pills. Their sect’s ability was apparent. Legend had it that they had 50 thousand external disciples of grade 1 Pill master level.

When he got those mind stones, he didn’t even bother to hide his emotions, apart from disdain. There was also the happiness of getting revenge. Like he was still filled with anger over the 4 earth energy pill matter, and he knew that he had taken revenge for that matter now.

“Our Sect knows about the matter of the prince becoming the young city lord of Xuan Mountain City. That city lord Xuanyuan is an old fool to marry junior Sister Yiren to a dumb person like you. Our Sect won’t accept this marriage. Prince, take care of yourself! If your father knew that his wealth was squandered like that by you, who knows if he would jump out of the Oblivion Cloud Ocean in fury...”

He scoffed, looking down on Zong Shou with a sense of superiority before leaving.

Zong Shou was feeling weird. Did that Fang Shu not return to the Sect? Was it those 2 people again?

Speaking of which a few years later his father did jump out of the Oblivion Cloud Ocean. Then, the roots of Lingyun Sect in the Donglin Cloud Continent was dismantled.

Out of everyone in the bank that participated in the trade, only a pawnbroker of the bank didn’t show any disdain.

He was 70 odd years old. Zong Shou couldn’t see through the aura he gave off. He was deeply shocked as he judged Zong Shou with probing eyes.

When people weren’t noticing, he would shake his head and say, “The prince is like what Villa head Yan said, unparalleled! Your cultivation and spiritual skill have reached such a level! Even your business sense is so amassing. How are people of this world so blind...”
