Chapter 1277: Massive Purchase
A girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old and had a bit of immaturity on her pretty face walked up to Xiao Lin, smiled slightly, revealing two sweet dimples, and spoke.
"My last name is Xiao, and I want to buy some relatively rare materials, and I also want to buy some topographic maps of the surrounding areas and the areas controlled by the demon clan." Xiao Lin said.
"Oh? Senior, please follow me to the second floor to discuss in detail?" The young girl's eyes lit up, obviously thinking that she had met a big customer, and her pretty face was full of joy, and she said to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin nodded, and followed the young girl to the second floor and entered an antique box.
Xiao Lin looked at the girl, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It turned out that this young girl looked only 17 or 18 years old, but if you look closely, you can see that there is a cluster of white feathers on her forehead, not hair, which also exposes her identity.
Demon clan.
What surprised Xiao Lin was not her identity, but her realm of cultivation.
"Peak of Nascent Soul?"
Xiao Lin did not expect that the woman in charge of reception in Zhongshengzhai was actually a demon in the peak of Nascent Soul. Isn't this a bit of an underestimation?
Seemingly seeing Xiao Lin's doubts, the woman immediately smiled and explained: "Our Zhongshengzhai in Baidi City is just a branch, and my father is in charge of the business of Zhongshengzhai in the entire Desolate Sea. I am also free and took the time to come and help."
"So it's the young master." Xiao Lin smiled and said.
When the woman heard this, a blush appeared on her pretty face, revealing an embarrassed expression.
"Senior, you are too kind. My father is only responsible for the business, not the owner of Zhongshengzhai. You are really flattering me."
After a pause, the woman continued, "What materials do you want? Zhongshengzhai's business is almost all over the fairy cities of Shengyue Continent. Under normal circumstances, most of the materials can be bought here. Even if they are temporarily out of stock, we can transfer them from peers or from other branches of Zhongshengzhai."
Xiao Lin nodded, then took out a list and placed it on the table in front of him.
"These are the materials I need."
It turned out that the list Xiao Lin took out was exactly what was needed to refine the Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Array, and it was only about one-third of it. This was not because Xiao Lin was willing, but because he was worried that the news that he was collecting the materials for the Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Array would be leaked.
Although Xiao Lin has not yet thoroughly comprehended this formation, he has roughly browsed it. The content is obscure and profound. Once it is arranged, it is extremely powerful and can indeed reverse yin and yang and seal the mountains and lock the sky.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, if he can really refine it all and complete the arrangement, then even if a cultivator in the middle or late stage of the fusion is trapped in the formation, he can only end up in regret.
You should know that the lowest level of all the formation flags and arrays is also a first-level fairy treasure. Among them, the Yin and Yang flags have eighteen poles each, and the Tiangang Disha formation disk has thirty-six each. In addition, the reversed Yin and Yang lock sky formation is enhanced according to the quality of the refined array disks and array flags.
The first-level fairy treasure quality array flags and array disks, after the formation is arranged, can easily kill the middle or late stage of the fusion cultivator, if it is a second or third level.
If you really complete a set of fourth-level or higher fairy treasure quality array flags and array disks, then the reversed Yin and Yang lock sky formation that is arranged, I am afraid that even the old monsters in the cross-tribulation period can be killed.
Of course, this was just a guess by Xiao Lin based on the mystery of the formation. After all, the old monster in the Tribulation Period was not proficient in all kinds of magical powers, and his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth had reached the pinnacle. At that time, it was not something that some acquired powers could deal with.
Xiao Lin naturally did not dream of refining a formation flag array plate above the fourth level, which was not realistic for him now.
What he wanted to do was to refine a formation flag array plate of the quality of a first-level fairy treasure, and he would be satisfied.
Xiao Lin also had some doubts about this. When Murong Yuntian was in the Southern Territory, he did rely on the inverted Yin and Yang lock sky formation, but in Xiao Lin's opinion, the formation flag array plate he refined was definitely not a first-level fairy treasure.
The mortal world also does not have the conditions to refine fairy treasures.
Therefore, Xiao Lin guessed that this inverted Yin-Yang lock sky formation was improved by the mysterious woman, or in other words, after she ascended to the spirit world, she improved this mysterious formation according to the actual situation of the spirit world, and then there was the booklet in Xiao Lin's hand.
When the young woman saw the list, she suddenly showed an unconcealable joy in her eyes. The materials on the list were densely packed, probably more than a hundred kinds, and at least half of them were rare and precious materials that were extremely precious in the world of cultivating immortals.
Moreover, most of them were extremely strong and yang, and there were even a few innate true yang things. Each one was priceless, not to mention that they were extremely rare, and the purchase price alone would be a sky-high price.
There were so many materials on this list, and the quantity required for each one was not low. The young woman roughly estimated that it was at least billions of low-grade spirit stones.
This is a huge order, which is extremely rare even in Zhongshengzhai of Baidi Immortal City.
How could the young woman not be extremely excited?
But she is worthy of being a Yuanying peak cultivator who has seen a lot of the world. She quickly calmed down her excitement and began to check the materials on the list one by one.
She marked the materials that Zhongshengzhai has in stock first, and made another mark for those that are not available at the moment but can be dispatched. For those materials that she has never heard of, she made a special mark.
It took half an hour for the woman to finally complete the classification. Among the hundreds of materials, only about half are in stock, and the remaining two-thirds can be dispatched. There is also one-third, which is about one-sixth of the total number of materials. The young woman has never heard of the names of these materials.
The materials in the world of cultivation are varied and strange, but most of them are nine-series attributes, innate and acquired. Although she doesn’t know, it doesn’t mean that no one in Zhongshengzhai knows.
According to her experience, Zhongshengzhai can find half of the one-sixth of the materials, but the rest requires multiple searches.
Fortunately, a large business like Zhongshengzhai has channels throughout the entire Shengyue Continent, and it is much more convenient to find some rare materials than for cultivators to find them alone.
Of course, the premise is that the customer can afford the price.
The young woman told Xiao Lin the results she had obtained in detail.
Xiao Lin also nodded repeatedly, and it was obvious that the woman's approach made him quite satisfied.
After understanding, Xiao Lin also began to think about it. After a moment, he said: "Please take out the materials that are in stock first, and I will buy them directly. For the rest, you need to give me some time, and I will come to pick them up by myself at that time."
The young woman thought for a moment, and then said: "For those materials that can be dispatched through our Zhongshengzhai and among peers, Senior Xiao can come to pick them up in ten years. As for those materials that I have never heard of, they need to be evaluated by several elders of our Zhongshengzhai, and then a collection plan will be formulated. This process usually takes about a hundred years. I wonder if Senior is okay with it?"
"One hundred years?"
This time is naturally unacceptable to ordinary mortals, but for cultivators like Xiao Lin, it is just a time for retreat, which is completely acceptable.
Xiao Lin nodded: "Then let's do as the girl said. Oh, by the way, what about the other maps?"
"Don't worry, senior. The map of the Desolate Sea in our Zhongshengzhai is definitely the most detailed. There is no second more detailed map in the entire Baidi Immortal City or even the entire Desolate Sea. As for the map of the monster area, our Zhongshengzhai only has three of them, namely the Star Sea Area, the Sky Desolate Area, and the Ice and Fire Area. As for the Holy Spirit Area, the holy land of the monsters, it has been listed as a forbidden area for the monsters for countless years. The cultivators of other races cannot enter the Holy Spirit Area, at least they cannot go deep into the holy land of the monsters."
"So that's it." Xiao Lin was surprised. It seems that the Holy Spirit Area is the core of the four areas of the monsters and the foundation. Xiao Lin didn't dwell on it. He didn't plan to enter the Holy Spirit Area.
From the woman's words, Xiao Lin knew that the Desolate Sea Area where he was now should be part of the Star Sea Area.
Sure enough, the woman continued, "The Desolate Sea is only a small part of the Star Sea, and the entire Star Sea is also the largest of the four demon regions. The area is impossible to determine. There are no less than dozens of places like the Desolate Sea, not to mention those places where there are no people, only a large number of demon beasts and a few demons live."
"Except for the Holy Spirit Region, are the maps of the other three regions complete?" Xiao Lin asked.
"Most of the maps of the Holy Zhai in our Baidi Immortal City are of the Star Sea, which is relatively complete. If the senior wants the maps of the Sky Desolate Region and the Ice and Fire Region, then we need to make some internal arrangements. Otherwise, how about putting them together with the materials for the ten-year period?"
"Okay." Xiao Lin nodded. He had no intention of leaving the Desolate Sea at the moment, and he was not so urgent for the maps of the other two regions. For him, as long as he had the map of the Star Sea, it would be enough for the time being.
"Okay, senior, please wait a moment. I will prepare the materials and maps right away. I will give you the maps as a gift. This is my favor to you."
"Thank you."
After the young girl left, Xiao Lin sat down and waited quietly.
The strength of the demon race in the spirit world really impressed Xiao Lin. They actually occupied the entire four domains. There are countless transformed demon cultivators in Baidi City. If the number of demon cultivators above the transformation stage in the four domains is counted, it is probably an astronomical figure.
In this way, it is not unfair for the human race to decline and be forced to migrate to the barbarian land.
Being able to control such a vast area, there are definitely many Mahayana cultivators in the demon race.
"Ah~" Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh softly when he thought of this. When he was in the mortal world, he never dreamed that the human race would fall into such a predicament.
However, Xiao Lin also knew that with his current state, he was not able to protect himself, and naturally he was unable to do anything for his fellow tribesmen.
Only by practicing well and advancing to the Mahayana stage one day, can the human race get rid of the current embarrassing situation, at least not be bullied by tribes like the Multi-Armed Tribe.
More than an hour later, the young woman returned to the box.
She had a star ring in her hand and the list in the other hand. She placed the list and the star ring in front of Xiao Lin.
"I have put the first batch of materials and maps into the star ring according to the list. Senior, please count them. In addition, this is the total price of the first batch of materials. We at Zhongshengzhai will give you a 95% discount as a VIP." The young woman said with a smile on her face.
Xiao Lin nodded, then picked up the star ring and sank into his consciousness to check it. After a moment, he put down the star ring with satisfaction, then took off a pale blue star ring on his hand and placed it in front of the woman.
"Here are the spirit stones. You can check them out."
Xiao Lin placed the star ring, which was already filled with spirit stones, in front of the woman. The woman also picked up the star ring and checked it out.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and held the star ring tightly: "The number is right. Thank you for taking care of my business."
The young woman bowed respectfully to Xiao Lin. This was not a special courtesy to Xiao Lin, but such a big order was not seen once a year in the Shengzhai in Baidi City.
She just helped out when she had nothing to do, and she took such a big order. When she returned, her father would look at her with new eyes. At that time, he would definitely take better care of her among the brothers and sisters.
Thinking of this, the young woman couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, Xiao Lin did not have the leisure to appreciate the woman's excited expression, but got up and said goodbye.
After leaving Zhongshengzhai, Xiao Lin saw Shan Xin standing respectfully at the door, looking around. When he saw Xiao Lin coming out, he immediately smiled and trotted to Xiao Lin.
"Senior, have you bought the items you wanted?"
Seeing Xiao Lin nod, he continued, "Senior, have you ever wanted to buy other things, or do you want to participate in the underground auctions held in this city?"
Xiao Lin's heart moved when he heard this, but he still shook his head. He had just bought a large amount of materials in Zhongshengzhai. Although he only contacted a young woman, it was hard to guarantee that the news would not be leaked. He didn't want to be noticed by someone in this demon area.
He didn't even mention the purchase of spiritual medicine seedlings above the sixth level.
"This is your reward." Xiao Lin threw a medium-grade spiritual stone to Shan Xin.
Shan Xin took the middle-grade spirit stone and immediately said with excitement, "Thank you for your generous gift, senior."
According to her market price, her daily reward was ten low-grade spirit stones. Now this middle-grade spirit stone was ten times her reward. Knowing that she had met a wealthy senior, she immediately saluted with gratitude.
"Let's stop here today. Three months later, you wait at the city gate. I will come again. I will need you to lead the way then."
"Don't worry, senior. Three months later, I will definitely wait for you at the city gate." Shan Xin said hurriedly.
Xiao Lin waved his hand and went towards the direction of the city gate. After leaving the city gate, he directly drove a beam of light and penetrated into the distant sea of clouds and disappeared.
In the next few years, Xiao Lin would go to Baidi Xiancheng every three months or so to purchase various rare materials, medicinal materials for alchemy, and various sixth-level or even seventh-level spiritual medicine seedlings, all within Xiao Lin's purchase range.
Because he was very low-key, he returned to Taoyuan Island immediately after purchasing, and did not attract the attention of those who were interested.
However, the only thing that made Xiao Lin a little depressed was that the seedlings of the sixth-level spiritual medicine were surprisingly rare in the market. After asking around, he found out that there were many transformed demon cultivators in this star sea area, and they opened up large spiritual fields on some islands with spiritual veins.
They would also collect a large number of spiritual medicine seedlings and plant them in these spiritual fields. Moreover, since the demon race has a long lifespan, a few thousand years is not unacceptable to them. Unlike human cultivators, they rarely choose to plant and cultivate high-level spiritual medicines.
In this way, Xiao Lin's method of purchasing a large number of sixth-level spiritual medicine seedlings was ineffective.
