Chapter 579: The Wandering Merchant
"As long as Guige wants something, I have it here, and even if I don't, I will provide you with information," said the member of the Alien Race.
"I want the Primordial Treasure Spirit Root, do you have any news about it?" Xu Feng said with a slight squint.
He had pillaged that Primordial Region, and he was no longer lacking in things like Hongmeng Spirits and Spiritual Treasures.
The Alien Race member was startled, not expecting to encounter such a high-end customer right away.
"Esteemed guest, I do have some information about the Soul Primordial Spirit Root, but as for the price..."
"Name your price, if it's agreeable we'll deal, if not, let's forget it. I am not lacking in Hongmeng Spirits or Spiritual Treasures either," Xu Feng casually remarked, resembling a wealthy southern merchant with endless riches.
"20 Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, or 200 Hongmeng Divine Pills of recovery or resurrection types," the Alien Race member considered for a moment before stating the price.
Xu Feng smiled slightly upon hearing this and tossed over a temporary sealing space, which contained 200 resurrection and recovery-type Hongmeng Divine Pills, each of the highest quality.
The Alien Race powerhouse checked the Hongmeng Divine Pills in the temporary space and nodded in satisfaction.
An Imperial Scroll floated in front of Xu Feng.
"This records the location of the Primordial Treasure. However, it is guarded by at least eight Divine Beasts of the Ninth Realm."
"Please be careful when you act," the Alien Race powerhouse warned.
"You're asking too much," said the six-eared youth.
"Our traders are well-reputed in this region. You get what you pay for, and if that were not the case, surely you would not have suggested your friend trade with us," the Alien Race powerhouse replied, neither servile nor overbearing.
"The Primordial Spirit Root, if it wasn't for that, why would my clan sell this information," the Alien Race powerhouse added.
"The price is very reasonable. Do you have any other information at hand?" Xu Feng glanced at the coordinates in the Jade Scroll.
"There's nothing else, esteemed guest. Since you seem to be an alchemist, I wonder if you'd be interested in selling some of your excess Hongmeng Pills; we could trade them for Hongmeng Spirit Roots," suggested the Alien Race powerhouse with a shift in his gaze.
"Thinking of buying all the excess Hongmeng Pills I have; does your group have the capability?" Xu Feng looked at the Alien Race powerhouse with a teasing smile.
"If the esteemed guest is willing, may we first take a look at the goods?" the Alien Race powerhouse said calmly, not taking Xu Feng's provocative words to heart.
In this Nihility, there were many powerful beings, and it was possible that with their resources, they truly couldn't buy all of Xu Feng's spare Hongmeng Pills.
Xu Feng handed over a Space Spiritual Treasure specifically for holding Hongmeng Pills.
The powerhouse gasped.
"These Hongmeng Pills are about a third of my excess, I wonder if your group can completely take them all in," said Xu Feng, who would occasionally engage in Alchemy in his free time within the Nihility, amassing quite a few pills over the years.
"Esteemed guest, the Hongmeng Pills in this Storage Bag are enough for our Alien Race to absorb."
"Now we can discuss the price," the Alien Race powerhouse said with a serious expression, for a merchant, reaching the price negotiation stage was like entering the battlefield.
"Alright, you can talk directly to my Artifact Spirit; I give him full authority," said Xu Feng.
At that moment, four or five Alien Race powerhouses riding the same Divine Beasts gathered towards Xu Feng, then huddled together to discuss. After that, they started to negotiate the price with Xu Feng's Artifact Spirit.
Xu Feng didn't interfere, busying himself with the six-eared youth, playing a game of Wan Dao Daluo Chess.
Entering the Nihility and coming in contact with numerous forces, what Xu Feng did not expect was how widespread the Daluo chess game of Wan Dao had become. Not only did the Dark Origin Clan possess it, but even the six-eared youth was a formidable chess player.
Thus, over the years, the two would occasionally play a game.
After more than a month of bargaining, the Artifact Spirit finally settled on a final price with those wandering merchants.
After the trade was concluded, the group of merchants wanted Xu Feng to wait a bit longer, hoping to buy up the remaining Hongmeng Pills he had as well.
Xu Feng had initially agreed, but the moment he heard it would take ten thousand years, he immediately lost his patience.
The Immortal Boat slowly sailed through the Journey to the West, with various Immortal Boats and Divine Beasts coming and going around it.
"True to a gathering place of minor forces, it's bustling." Xu Feng said with a smile as he watched the scene.
"In this Nihility, to achieve such peace, I wonder if these minor forces might have formed an Alliance?" Xu Feng asked curiously.
"Yes, they formed an Alliance. In the Nihility, they've demarcated a safe zone. As long as you are within this zone, no forces are allowed to attack one another, not even to engage in battle." The six-eared youth relayed a lot of information to Xiao Hua as he spoke.
The Immortal Boat was currently inside the safe zone.
"That's good. A place with order can indeed make people feel a bit more at ease," Xu Feng said with a smile.
Just then, a special fluctuation suddenly emanated from the depths of Nihility.
Following that, a giant Immortal Boat resembling the huge expanse of the Primordial Region flew by the Immortal Boat at a speed tens of thousands of times faster.
"A Primordial Treasure-level Immortal Boat. The might it emits is truly compelling," Xu Feng thought to himself, watching the direction the Immortal Boat was heading and pondering that he must get one for himself if he ever had the chance.
"This is the Star Divine Clan of the Alliance; this is their clan's treasure." The six-eared youth said, curling his lips.
"The races within this regional Alliance that have Primordial Treasures are indeed powerful," Xu Feng spoke leisurely.
He had reviewed the distribution map of these minor forces. The area was three times the size of the Hongmeng Dao Palace, but there were hundreds to thousands of forces here.
Even taken out individually, ten bundled together would still not be a match for the Hongmeng Dao Palace.
"Do your Divine Ear Clan and this Star Divine Clan have a conflict?" Xu Feng gossiped.
"There's some conflict. Back then, when competing for a position in the Alliance, some disputes broke out. We then arranged a duel in Nihility. Our clan was defeated, but their clan also had a hard time," said the six-eared youth through gritted teeth.
"A common sense in war, find an opportunity to get your ground back later," Xu Feng consoled him with a chuckle.
Just as the Immortal Boat was going to continue on its way, suddenly seven or eight massive Immortal Boat fleets surrounded the region where Xu Feng was located.
"Alchemist on the Immortal Boat, would you consider coming to our Holy Origin Clan to be our Chief Alchemist? You would have the same status and won't lack for anything," a gloomy voice echoed in the area.
Upon hearing this, the six-eared youth's face immediately showed anger as he appeared on the prow of the Immortal Boat.
"Master Xu is a guest of our Divine Ear Clan, all of you get lost!!"
Although the six-eared youth was a Seventh Realm powerhouse, the aura he released unexpectedly suppressed the whole field.
"Little Six Ears, he is a distinguished guest of your clan, so what? He is also the Chief Alchemist of our clan."
"Alchemist in the Immortal Boat, hurry up and come back to the Holy Origin Clan, our Clan Leader has swept the seat to welcome you."
Upon hearing these words, Xu Feng immediately burst into laughter, and his figure also appeared at the prow.
