A total of four jade boxes were neatly placed in front of Chu Fengmian.
"This is all we have from the Gu family: Qingli Grass, Glazed Fruit, Offering Buddha Flower, and Heavenly Thunder Wood."
The Family Head of the Gu family spoke while making a sweeping gesture with his hand, opening all four jade boxes, revealing the Spiritual dicine contained within to Chu Fengmian’s eyes.
These four Spiritual dicines were all rare sacred herbs, and as soon as they were opened, their rich fragrance filled the entire secret chamber.
This aroma was strong enough that even so common people who slled it could strengthen their bodies, prolong their lives, and it had an imnse effect on Martial Artists with slightly lower strength.
After all, these were sacred herbs, rarely seen even in the Nine Domains. Many peak-life-and-death figures might not possess sacred herbs; only those ancient beings who have transcended life and death are qualified to own them.
"The foundation of the Gu family is indeed impressive."
Seeing these four sacred herbs, Chu Fengmian thought to himself.
The sacred herbs needed to refine the Jade Dew Life-breaking Pill were not ordinary; they were extrely precious even among the sacred herbs.
The Gu family unexpectedly brought out four at once, which was well within Chu Fengmian’s expectations.
With these four sacred herbs, plus those accumulated by Chu Fengmian, he had at least half of what was needed.
"How many Spirit Stones are needed for these four sacred herbs in total?"
Chu Fengmian slowly spoke.
"Calculating with imperial-grade Spirit Stones."
As Chu Fengmian spoke, he moved his palm, and an imperial-grade Spirit Stone appeared from it, which he directly handed to the Gu family head.
This imperial-grade Spirit Stone was one he had condensed himself, and he wanted to see what value his self-condensed imperial-grade Spirit Stone held now.
After all, since Ancient Tis, very few Martial Artists could condense Spirit Stones. One reason was the lack of spiritual energy; another was the number of strong individuals in this era was far less than in Ancient Tis.
Only Chu Fengmian, with his unique advantage of having Divine Veins, could extensively condense Spirit Stones. Still, he also wanted to see the quality of his imperial-grade Spirit Stone.
"Imperial-grade Spirit Stone?"
The Gu family head received the imperial-grade Spirit Stone, scanned it with his Spiritual Sense, and, with a slightly surprised expression, spoke.
"Such pure Spirit Stone, considered quite good even among imperial-grade Spirit Stones. Usually, these are only found in the treasuries of so ancient Sects. Does Mr. Chu truly wish to settle with imperial-grade Spirit Stones?"
The Gu family head’s surprise was understandable.
Imperial-grade Spirit Stones are rare treasures needed even by ancients who’ve transcended life and death; for Martial Artists in the life-and-death realm, they are even more precious, as most ancients prefer to trade with king-grade Spirit Stones.
Only extrely powerful figures among the ancients have vast wealth to settle with imperial-grade Spirit Stones directly.
In his millennia of business, the Gu family head had only encountered a few such figures. He didn’t expect Chu Fengmian to have such formidable wealth, offering imperial-grade Spirit Stones so effortlessly.
However, with the Gu family head’s experience, he quickly cald down, thinking of Chu Fengmian’s encounter in Gui Xu Tian, guessing a bit in his mind.
What is Gui Xu Tian? The entire Nine Domains knows it’s practically a treasure-filled land, making it normal that Chu Fengmian could obtain ancient treasures from Gui Xu Tian.
The Gu family head slowly calculated before speaking.
"These four sacred herbs vary in value, totaling at least around 1.5 million imperial-grade Spirit Stones. Nonetheless, Mr. Chu’s imperial-grade Spirit Stone is far purer than the usual, let’s say one million imperial-grade Spirit Stones?"
One million imperial-grade Spirit Stones.
Converted to the most common Spirit Stones, it would value ten billion, and no one would exchange this way. On the Black Market, an imperial-grade Spirit Stone is worth at least two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
This price is astronomical, even for so ancient beings who’ve transcended life and death.
After quoting the price, the Gu family head looked towards Chu Fengmian. Although he knew Chu Fengmian must have acquired significant wealth, this price was undoubtedly high.
"One million imperial-grade Spirit Stones, I’ll take the four sacred herbs."
Without hesitation, Chu Fengmian made a sweeping motion, putting the four sacred herbs into the Space Ring, simultaneously producing from in front of him a mountain of imperial-grade Spirit Stones.
This mountain consisted of exactly one million imperial-grade Spirit Stones.
Such a quantity of imperial-grade Spirit Stones is sothing even so first-rate powers or slightly smaller rchant guilds cannot present, yet for Chu Fengmian, it was done with ease.
These sacred herbs are treasures wealth can’t usually buy, and since they were encountered, Chu Fengmian naturally wouldn’t let them slip. With Divine Veins, he could continuously condense Spirit Stones, wealth was not an issue.
One million imperial-grade Spirit Stones might be a painful expense for other Martial Artists or ancients, but for Chu Fengmian, it was effortless. No amount of wealth matters if he can gather the sacred herbs to refine the Jade Dew Life-breaking Pill.
"One million imperial-grade Spirit Stones, indeed one million!"
As the Gu family head saw the mountain of imperial-grade Spirit Stones, his eyes expressed disbelief. Even he rarely saw such a quantity of imperial-grade Spirit Stones.
The Gu family head brought out a Space Ring, created a vortex, and collected the million imperial-grade Spirit Stones inside.
"Mr. Chu is indeed straightforward."
Having concluded such a significant transaction, the Gu family head was genuinely pleased, as such deals bring enormous benefits to their family.
"No matter, if the Gu family head can find the remaining sacred herbs, I’m willing to pay a hefty price to purchase them; Spirit Stones are no issue."
Chu Fengmian smiled, his tone reminiscent of a wealthy nouveau riche.
However, Chu Fengmian’s wealth is more terrifying than that of a nouveau riche. A nouveau riche, no matter how wealthy, cannot spend endlessly, but with Divine Veins, Chu Fengmian’s wealth is nearly limitless.
Even if he recklessly spends it all, he can quickly gather more wealth in a few days.
"Our Gu family’s sacred herbs are depleted, but in the major rchant guilds of Ningzhou Ancient City, there should be so sacred herbs Mr. Chu needs."
The Gu family head, looking at Chu Fengmian, spoke with a smile.
"Please stay at the Gu family for a few days while I visit various rchant guilds for Mr. Chu."
"Very well."
Chu Fengmian nodded.
