Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: The Tycoon Enters the Market
If Long Fei succeeded in his pill business, the first to be impacted would be the Wudang Sect.
Currently, in Great Xia’s pill market, Wudang Sect dominates over half the market share, standing as the top authority in the Alchemy Dao across the world.
Thus, Long Fei’s actions would invariably be the first blow to the Wudang Sect.
Lin Daoqi naturally understood the gravity of the situation, especially since the Wudang Elders and junior disciples traveling with them had mysteriously been struck dead by thunder and lightning.
Lin Daoqi did not believe this was rely fate; he suspected Long Fei might be behind it.
The mountain itself was tranquil, but streams of discontent carried beneath the surface.
Extraterritorial cultivators and the forces from various sects of Great Xia were steadily gathering at the mountain’s base.
Under the coordination of geniuses from the sects, they had ford an alliance, intending to strike down Long Fei on-site.
The sects had a strong premonition—if Long Fei’s growth was left unchecked, he might pose a mortal threat to them.
During the Mount Hua battle, the sects had uncovered that Long Fei had been helping the Mystic Yin Sect, annihilating their forces completely.
This was a blood feud that could not be ignored.
After the auction concluded, a crowd descended the mountain, ready to explore the extraterritorial domain market for so treasures.
The domain market was a space where extraterritorial cultivators set up stalls to sell goods, all transported from other star domains.
With the domain gate of Tianzhu Mountain open, goods could be transmitted in real-ti via the gate, as long as cultivators managed communication with their own star domains from their respective bases.
Extraterritorial cultivators maintained bases here, and while living entities could not be transmitted, anything else could be.
When Long Fei arrived, he had inquired Ji Wanyu about this matter.
Ji Wanyu explained that the spatial passage linking to the extraterritorial realms harbored vengeful spirits; if one was careless, they could be possessed.
Moreover, the space laws within the passage were incomplete.
Anyone entering might risk being torn to shreds by spatial storms.
Long Fei found both explanations hard to believe.
If living beings faced dangers, then why were dead objects unhard? There was likely another reason at play.
Upon descending the mountain, he wandered around the domain market with his group.
The goods here were indeed different from those of this world.
Sellers from Demon King Star were offering mushrooms the size of houses, claiming that demon dwellings on their star were constructed from these very mushrooms.
These mushrooms were specially cultivated on Demon King Star. They could shrink down to fit inside a pocket when unused.
When needed, the mushroom could be tossed onto the ground.
It would absorb water from the soil and rapidly expand to take the shape of a house.
The interior featured doors, windows, and beds as soft as a spring mattress, making it an interesting curiosity.
Long Fei and his group tried out the mushroom house, enjoying the experience so much that he purchased one for each person.
Nearby cultivators were filled with envy, not because they didn’t want the mushrooms, but because they couldn’t afford them.
Each transforming mushroom cost a staggering 100,000 Spirit Stones.
Long Fei wasn’t short on money; the pill he auctioned earlier fetched a final price of 8 billion Spirit Stones, second only to Ji Wanrong’s bid for the Immortal’s Skin Pouch.
In truth, while Tier-6 Pills were indeed rare, they wouldn’t normally sell for such an astronomical price.
This was the result of Long Fei’s deliberate hype—it involved heavenly phenona from Dragon-Tiger cosmic signs, flashes of lightning, and the pill’s status as an ancient semi-pill, pushing the price higher than imaginable.
Interestingly, the winning bid for the pill ca from Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
Supposedly, Dragon-Tiger Mountain’s genius Zhang Ziheng had remarked that the pill resonated deeply with the mountain’s Dragon-Tiger Dao, prompting them to bid high.
Demon King Star’s rchants were thrilled, saliva practically dripping, as they eagerly sent two beautiful rabbit girls to deliver the goods to Long Fei’s group.
The two rabbit sisters had long upright ears, straight legs, and were dressed in black maid-style short skirts, resembling classic bunny girls.
Their long, white, slender legs made a group of cultivators secretly drool.
Chu Feng, being shaless, stared openly at the rabbit sisters and asked the rchant, “Boss, are these two servants for sale?”
The rabbit sisters blushed and shot a fierce glare at Chu Feng.
The rchant, though slightly embarrassed, rubbed his palms and replied, “Master, these two are princesses of the rabbit tribe. How can they be sold?”
The rabbit sisters pursed their lips with a snort, just as the rchant added, “However, if you can afford the price, we can specially transmit so rabbit beauties from the holand for you.”
The rabbit sisters ground their big white teeth, their disdain evident as they raised their fingers at the rchant in scorn.
“No need! I, the young master, don’t enjoy forcing anyone unwilling!”
Chu Feng admired their adorable deanor, smiled, and opened his folding fan to strike a cool pose.
Since forcing wouldn’t work, Chu Feng resolved to charm them instead.
Unfortunately, the rabbit sisters weren’t interested in him in the slightest, their attention entirely focused on Lin Shanshan and Ji Wanyu, asking them about their dresses.
The two weren’t dressed in cultivator robes but had opted for worldly spaghetti-strap dresses.
Though sowhat out-of-place here, their elegance and allure drew countless eyes.
Long Fei, anwhile, was focused on the rare treasures, radiating a nouveau riche aura as he purchased anything useful he spotted.
The rchants quickly labeled him as the God of Wealth, a big-spending custor, and the pri target for sales. Wherever he went, eager vendors welcod him warmly and showcased their most prized goods.
Long Fei showed no interest in items like magical treasures.
The truly exceptional ones wouldn’t make their way to such markets anyway.
His sole focus was on herbs, purchasing them in bulk from stalls, regardless of their quality.
Within re monts of shopping, he had spent 1 billion Spirit Stones.
Stopping by Immortal King Star’s stall, Saintess Changxi of Broad Cold Palace was helping her companions attract custors. Upon seeing Long Fei’s group, she cleared space at the front of the stall and personally invited them over.
She too had heard of Long Fei’s reputation as a wealthy patron.
Chu Feng’s eyes lit up upon seeing her.
He was the first to approach, greeting Changxi, “Fairy, we et again!”
“If you’re here to buy sothing, I welco you. If it’s for anything else, I’m sorry, I have no ti or interest.”
Changxi wore a veil, her expressions mostly hidden, but her icy deanor was palpable.
“Buying things, of course!”
Chu Feng pulled Long Fei aside, patting his shoulder. “Check this out, my brother here has got money to spare. If you’re willing, perhaps we’ll even buy you!”
“Nothing good ever cos out of a dog’s mouth.”
Changxi rolled her eyes at him before turning to Long Fei. “I had the goods sorted earlier while you were at the other stall. These herbs are the finest in Immortal King Star, unmatched by anything in your star domain.”
“What nonsense! Do you take us for village bumpkins? These star domains were interconnected in the past; what you have, we naturally have as well.”
Chu Feng deliberately provoked her.
Motioning to the pile of herbs in front of her, she retorted, “Then let’s wager. If you can na these herbs, I’ll give them to you for free. If you fail, you’ll buy them for ten tis the price.”
Chu Feng gestured covertly to Liuu Jiangnan and Wang Jie, who imdiately caught on and shouted, “Everyone co have a look! Goddess Changxi is betting with our Second Brother!”
“The Fairy is challenging our Second Brother!”
Their boisterous calls ensured almost the entire market could hear them.
The youths surrounding Long Fei naturally attracted enough attention. Hearing Changxi’s na, cultivators flocked from all directions to witness the commotion.
Changxi was exasperated, regretting her impulsive challenge.
Chu Feng—utterly shaless.
She cursed him inwardly but turned to Chu Feng and Long Fei’s group with resolve. “Don’t think I underestimate you, but if you dare to gamble, prepare for tenfold paynt!”
Chu Feng grinned, “That’s too boring. Let’s change the wager—if we win, you’ll go on a date with for a day. If we lose, we’ll pay a hundredfold. How does that sound?”
“Are you serious?”
Changxi raised an eyebrow, montarily swayed by the promise of a hundredfold paynt.
Even immortals need earthly sustenance. Broad Cold Palace’s presence at the market was hardly for charity—they aid to earn a hefty profit.
Chu Feng nodded confidently. “Of course I’m serious. Do you dare?”
“I dare! Who’s afraid?”
Changxi snorted softly, seizing the opportunity and addressing the crowd gathered. “Everyone heard it! Great Xia’s Consort Prince wants to wager with . Please serve as witnesses.”
Her deanor, far from celestial, was closer to that of a shrewd rchant.
She was certain Long Fei’s group hadn’t seen these herbs before—so were unique to Immortal King Star, appearing here for the first ti, with no records in this world.
Smiling cultivators cheered, affirming loudly, “Don’t worry, Fairy; we’re your witnesses!”
“Whoever backs out is born of a dog!”
“The Consort Prince is a man of honor, certainly above petty sches!”
“We trust the Consort Prince will uphold his word!”
“…”
The crowd stirred with excitent, rallying behind Changxi. The appeal of a goddess was indeed incomparable.
“Brother, it’s on you now!”
Chu Feng patted Long Fei’s shoulder confidently, handing off the responsibility for his antics.
“A hundredfold repaynt!”
Long Fei scratched his head, inwardly cursing Chu Feng’s audacity in making such a wager for the sake of flirting.
Although these herbs were rare, Long Fei happened to recognize a few.
