Life money is tempting, but Xing Xia is no longer an inexperienced greenhorn.
She understands the principle of earning but not being able to spend it if you don’t have the life for it.
If you go to the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Comrce to buy spiritual materials, you indeed won’t get scamd, but it’s easy for others to target you, and the profits won’t be much!
Going to the underground black market, even if you buy in batches, the risk is too big. A Fourth Level Spiritual Master is a person of significance in Mountain City, but not enough to handle four million life money.
"It seems there’s only one choice left!"
"Co in!"
Nicholas swirled the red wine glass in his hand, looked at Xing Xia, who wore a half-mask, and said with a light smile, "Still wearing a mask, huh? Your appearance is a gift from the heavens, you’re really wasting it this way."
Xing Xia replied coldly, "If I had your status, Nicholas, I naturally wouldn’t need a mask!"
"Wanting my status, huh? It’s truly not easy to achieve!"
Nicholas put down the wine glass, sowhat puzzled, "I rember you’re still Mr. Chen’s guard, right? Leaving your post without permission isn’t a good habit!"
"I certainly know, this is also Mr. Chen’s request!"
Xing Xia placed the procurent list on the table in front of Nicholas.
"Hmm?"
Looking at the string of spiritual materials, Nicholas showed a hint of confusion, "Spiritual materials? Does Mr. Chen want these materials? The quantity isn’t small but is only worth about 200,000 life money."
This list had been reprinted by Xing Xia, without specifying the exact quantity needed.
"Guard Xing Xia, we are the Guard House, not a comrce association. You should find the Other Shore Flower Chamber of Comrce for such matters!"
"What if the quantity needed is twenty sets?" Xing Xia said indifferently.
"Thud!"
Nicholas stood up, a little out of composure, a faint flush appearing on his originally calm face, "Twenty sets?"
"That’s right, Mr. Chen has entrusted this procurent task to , after all, I am a guard of the Guard House, naturally, I think of my own people when there’s any benefit!"
"Hahaha, well done!"
"Wait a minute, I have conditions!"
"Conditions? No problem, as long as they aren’t too excessive, I can agree to them!" Nicholas said with a smile.
The value of spiritual materials fluctuates greatly, the materials on the list are valued at around 200,000 life money if purchased through regular channels. For Nicholas, with his connections, he could clinch it for at most 120,000 life money, the profit margin soaring to over a million life money, which is a windfall he couldn’t ignore.
As a Sixth Level Peak cultivator, Nicholas was allocated to the Guard House in Mountain City, naturally not without stories, mostly due to so exclusion.
Mountain City is just a small city, and the Guard House’s profit here is pitifully low, his gray inco couldn’t possibly support him breaking through to the Seventh Level, thus this windfall must be controlled in his hands.
"Waive three of my mandatory tasks!"
"Impossible, I am just a manager, at most one ti, this is my highest authority!" Nicholas refused without hesitation, and he wasn’t lying.
The overall strength of the Guard House isn’t weak, although it can’t compare to the ragtag Dark Star, the Guard House is a positive force, with a good reputation in the Yellow Springs Realm, and its system is extrely strict.
Most advanced guards in the Guard House are cultivators who’ve committed offenses, but not those with heinous sins. To shelter these cultivators, the Guard House has to pay a price, part of which is the mandatory missions, though borne by those cultivators personally.
"Alright then!"
Xing Xia knew she was asking for a lot, but being able to avoid even one mandatory task was already quite good!
"Alright, since you agree, let’s talk about the spiritual materials then!"
After a heated discussion, Nicholas sold the spiritual materials to Dusk Manor at a price of 190,000 life money per set, guaranteeing delivery within a day.
In this transaction, Nicholas earned at least 1,400,000 life money, Xing Xia got 200,000 life money, plus the benefit of avoiding one mandatory task, and Chen Jiuge could receive the spiritual materials within a day, it could be said everyone was pleased.
The only one hurt might be Chen Jiuge’s wallet, but Chen Jiuge wasn’t too concerned with money, strength and safety were his priorities.
After receiving the spiritual materials, Chen Jiuge began preparing the Primordial Pill.
This batch of spiritual materials was not only used to enhance the Turtle Dragon and Lightning Lion, but also included the cultivation of the Rain Frog and Xuan Tan.
There’s a limit to enhancing Fourth Level Fierce Beasts; it can’t be stacked endlessly.

On the other side
Gong Cheng summoned Chou Niu and Hei Yue to a rundown shack, his face sullen, "The Shadow failed!"
"Failed? He died?" Hei Yue frowned.
"That’s right, he died, the intelligence from that old man Dang Yue was inaccurate. If it was just a Fourth Level Turtle Dragon, even if the Shadow wasn’t its match, he wouldn’t have perished!"
"Could it be those few Fourth Level Guards? The strength of Mad Bear and Leng She isn’t bad. Adding in the Fourth Level Spiritual Master, the Shadow indeed could have failed!"
"Impossible. I don’t care whether the task succeeds or not, but this basic intelligence, I do verify. When the Shadow died, Mad Bear and Leng She were both in the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena."
"Just a Turtle Dragon and a Fourth Level Spiritual Master couldn’t hold the Shadow!"
Hei Yue speculated, "Could it be that the target of the mission itself was hiding strength, or perhaps he hired more than just three Fourth Level Guards?"
"Hiding strength is possible, but he really did hire three Fourth Level Guards. Nicholas, that guy, loves putting on a show. Hiring three Fourth Level Guards, he was certainly proud for quite a while!"
