Chapter 589: Cultivators Gather, the Moonlight Gathering Begins
"Tianqiong Taoist, indeed our alliance has acquired three Moonlight Gathering invitations. However, these invitations have been allocated by the higher-ups, and we cannot spare even one. Why don't you request something else?"
The man in the golden robe glanced reluctantly at the Elixir Recipe Jade Scrolls on the table and finally shook his head and regrettably said.
Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed as he swept his sleeve across the table, and more than a dozen Elixir Recipe Jade Scrolls fell entirely into his sleeve, as he said in a deep voice, "Brother Jin, it seems these scrolls aren't sufficient! But the Moonlight Gathering invitation, this True Immortal is determined to obtain. So be it, I'll have to bring out my prized treasure."
As he spoke, a green light flashed, and a transparent Jade Box the size of one square foot appeared on the table.
Looking closely, a clear spirit light halo radiated from the box walls, vaguely revealing a nine-inch-long "baby" lying deep within the halo, completely white and plump. The baby had distinct facial features and complete limbs, with a tuft of red seeds on its head, and was helplessly struggling and twisting with a crying face inside the Jade Box.
Upon the appearance of the Jade Box, a peculiar faint medicinal fragrance immediately arose in the air. The aroma, when inhaled, refreshed one's spirit, and suddenly a wave of crying sounds appeared in the mind.
Bam!
Upon seeing the item in the box, the man in the golden robe immediately stood up in shock, his face pressed close to the Jade Box, his eyes radiated with ecstasy and greed as he gazed at the treasure medicine inside the box.
"Haha... Fortune, fortune! It resembles a person, full of spirit, it truly is a... Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng Essence!"
Zhao Sheng shook his head and smiled while instructing, "This Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng Essence is over twenty thousand years old, Mr. Jin, you might as well count the spirit patterns on its forehead."
"Alright, alright! One... two, indeed, there are two spirit patterns." The man in the golden robe's face lit up with excitement, unable to contain himself.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng nonchalantly reached out to retrieve the Jade Box.
The man in the golden robe became anxious upon seeing this and hurriedly shouted, "Tianqiong Taoist, why are you doing this?"
"Invitation?" Zhao Sheng casually uttered two words.
"Isn't it just a mere invitation? This matter is simple! I will immediately secure it for you." The man's mind was filled with thoughts of the Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng Essence, and upon hearing this, he agreed without hesitation.
To win that great person's favor, what's the harm in giving away one invitation!
"Great, I shall return here in ten days. Then I hope this transaction will be successfully completed. Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng's figure flickered and instantaneously disappeared in front of the man in the golden robe.
The mysterious manner of Master Tianqiong's disappearance didn't surprise the man in the golden robe, and at this moment, he wasn't concerned with these minor matters, his mind solely occupied by the Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng Essence.
To know, the Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng Essence is one of the three main ingredients required to refine the Primordial Spirit Pill, and such a legendary treasure medicine has long disappeared in the Da Chun Realm. It is only supposedly found in the Moonlight Cave Heaven, but hasn't appeared for a thousand years.
In fact, Zhao Sheng's Sumeru Space not only houses five or six older Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng Essences, but also many rarer legendary treasure medicines.
If this person knew, wouldn't he go mad!
The ten days passed swiftly.
On the Moon-shaped Lake Heart Island, the man in the golden robe appeared early at the pavilion, nervously looking around, eagerly hoping for Master Tianqiong's arrival.
Suddenly a figure materialized out of thin air, the unremarkable-looking "Master Tianqiong" in a white robe arrived as promised.
The man in the golden robe hurriedly stood up, smiling widely, "Tianqiong Taoist, you've finally arrived. Please have a seat."
Zhao Sheng greeted the person with a hand gesture and stepped to the table to sit casually.
He was quite surprised to find no ambush around.
This showed that the other party genuinely wanted to facilitate this transaction.
In fact, he was mistaken; the competition among Black Alliance members is extremely fierce.
For such a transaction involving significant interests, the man in the golden robe was too busy to keep it to himself, how could he inform others?
After sitting, Zhao Sheng took out the Jade Box and placed it in the center of the table, saying indifferently, "Mr. Jin, the treasure medicine is right here, please inspect it."
The man in the golden robe, without politeness, leaned forward to examine carefully, ensuring the treasure medicine was genuine.
"Tianqiong Taoist, here is the Moonlight Gathering invitation and the Five Luck Spirit Pearl, please check them!"
With a happy face, the man in the golden robe reached into his chest and took out two treasures to place on the table.
One item was a Pure White Jade Box, embossed with numerous Jade Palaces, shrouded in cloud mist, like an Immortal Realm.
The other was a golden bracelet, with a thumb-sized gray and white Stone Bead attached at the bottom of the chain.
Zhao Sheng had seen the images of the invitation and the Five Fortune Pearl in historical records, so he recognized both treasures at a glance.
He swept his sleeve over the table, collecting both treasures into the Sumeru Space.
"Well, well, Mr. Jin is truly honest and trustworthy." Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, praising.
The man in the golden robe, seeing this, eagerly grabbed the Jade Box and carefully placed it into the Qiankun Bag.
Then he relaxed, laughed heartily, "I also prepared a gift for you. Consider it my personal gratitude."
Saying this, he took out a milky white Jade Scroll and pushed it across the table.
Oh?
Zhao Sheng appeared slightly surprised and released his Divine Sense into the Jade Scroll, instantly flooding his mind with information.
"...Sili Tiancheng, born of the Sili Ancient Clan, cultivation has reached Perfect Golden Core, Lifebound Magic Treasure Ten Thousand Stone Peak..."
"...Ke Fangzong, born of the Ximeng State Ke's Ancient Clan, cultivation has reached Perfect Golden Core, Golden Core Divine Power True Bone-attaching Evil..."
