Chapter 904: Chapter 383: Seventh-order Spirit Vein, Manifestation of the Divine Bow_1

Immortal Trading Palace, the fifth area, Qingyang Pavilion.

Han Yi, just like many years ago, changed his form into a lean young man and entered the pavilion under the name ‘Wang Lin’.

Seeing the shopkeeper behind the counter, Han Yi’s heart relaxed slightly, the shopkeeper here was still Yun Bo.

At the time when he had just joined the Immortal Mansion, he had conducted numerous transactions with Yun Bo of the Qingyang Pavilion; the two were quite familiar with each other.

“Shopkeeper Yun.” Han Yi called out.

Yun Bo looked up, saw Han Yi, and said with a smile, “A distinguished guest indeed, Wang.”

The arrival of a distinguished guest surely meant business, and as the shopkeeper of the Qingyang Pavilion, he naturally was pleased.

“It’s been almost forty years since you last came, Wang.”

Yun Bo said smilingly, guiding Han Yi to a table for guests on one side.

Han Yi’s appearance at the moment was that of a lean and slightly gloomy young man, a bearing that wasn’t given to jest or levity. Having dealt with Yun Bo before, he found nothing amiss, and Yun Bo adeptly began to prepare tea.

Entering the Qingyang Pavilion to purchase high-order Spirit Veins, was a well-considered choice made by Han Yi.

The Qingyang Pavilion is an Immortal Shop opened by the Half Immortal Level Qingyang Sect within the Immortal Trading Palace, and a Sect of Half Immortal Level surely has Spirit Veins for sale.

Moreover, Han Yi was not inflexible in needing Ninth-stage Spirit Veins; in his mind, both Seventh and Eighth-order were acceptable, as they would fulfill the needs of the Xuandan Sect at its current stage.

Han Yi didn’t wait for the Spiritual Tea to be ready and got straight to business.

“Shopkeeper Yun, does your pavilion have any high-order Spirit Veins for sale, at least Seventh-order?”

Yun Bo’s hand paused slightly before he put down the teapot.

Actually, once one reaches the Spirit Transformation Level Realm, brewing tea with a mere thought is easily accomplished, but to show respect and create an atmosphere for conducting business, Yun Bo still took on the task personally just like a mortal would.

He had conducted transactions with Han Yi before and knew Han Yi was straightforward and not interested in these formalities.

Since Han Yi had spoken, he naturally chose to respond directly, which aligned with Han Yi’s behavior and disposition.

Understanding the customer, observing their tone and expressions, and appropriately accommodating them is a fundamental skill for a shopkeeper; having done this for many years, Yun Bo had naturally attained a level of Return to the Truth.

“We do,” Yun Bo replied affirmatively.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a Spirit Light emerged from the left side of the shop entrance and was drawn towards the right side.

This grey Spirit Light ensured that the cultivators inside could sense the outside situation, while preventing those outside from sensing anything about the inside.

As the conversation had entered the business negotiation phase, Yun Bo naturally needed to ensure the privacy and security of the discussion to avoid unnecessary complications.

“To tell the truth, I don’t have that many Spirit Stones to pay,” Han Yi said.

“However, I possess enough Spiritual Treasures. If your Pavilion is willing to trade, I’ll take them out for appraisal, and exchange them for Spirit Veins after the valuation.”

“How about that?”

Han Yi was not worried that Qingyang Pavilion wouldn’t accept such a trading method. Generally, Immortal Shops are not rigid; even if they did not use the Spiritual Treasures themselves, they could still resell them to other Immortal Shops, even turning a profit in the process.

As expected.

Yun Bo’s face showed even greater joy upon hearing this.

“That’s certainly possible.”

“Before that, let me introduce the Spirit Veins that Qingyang Pavilion currently has for sale,” he continued.

“However, Spirit Veins are precious. I only have models, no actual Spirit Veins at hand. Once you’ve made a decision to purchase, I can send a message to my Sect to have it delivered. What do you think?”

Han Yi nodded his agreement.

Indeed.

If he went to the seventh area, where the Immortal Sect-backed Immortal Shops are, even the shopkeepers are at least at Half Immortal Level or even Immortal Level, and they definitely have Spirit Veins in stock.

But if he really went to an Immortal Sect shop to purchase Spirit Veins, the cost would be much higher compared to buying from Qingyang Pavilion, not to mention that doing business with Half Immortals or Immortals would mean a great disparity in strength, resulting in an unequal standing.

Although Qingyang Pavilion didn’t have Spirit Veins on hand, the status was equal, and they would not inflate the prices too much; after reaching an agreement, delivery would not take much time.

After weighing the options, this was another reason for choosing Qingyang Pavilion to purchase Spirit Veins.

Seeing Han Yi’s approval, Yun Bo waved his hand slightly, and the tea trays and other miscellaneous items on the guest table disappeared, replaced by a Spiritual Vein model enveloped in a hazy Spirit Light.

This Spirit Vein model was crafted by a high-level Artifact Refiner using special materials to imprint the inner and outer essence of the Spirit Vein.

“This is a Seventh-order Spirit Vein with a core containing a million square meters of spirit marrow. It can sustain the cultivation of ten Early Stage Spirit Transformation cultivators, or three Middle-stage, or a single Latter phase of Spirit Transformation cultivator for personal cultivation.”

“With the purchase of this Seventh-order Spirit Vein, you will be gifted one set of Fifth-stage Spirit Gathering Array, and three sets of Fourth-stage Spirit Gathering Array.”

“The price is nineteen million top-grade Spirit Stones.”

Hearing this price, Han Yi’s breathing still hitched slightly. He knew Spirit Veins were costly and was aware of the price range for Seventh-order Spirit Veins, but Yun Bo’s quote still shocked him.

It should be noted that an ordinary low-quality Spiritual Treasure sells for about one hundred to nearly a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, a mid-quality Spiritual Treasure for close to a thousand to ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and a high-quality Spiritual Treasure for upwards of ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. As for top-quality Spiritual Treasures, they reach over a hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

And above top-quality Spiritual Treasures, the Half-Immortal Items, they are not something that top-grade Spirit Stones could buy.

In other words.

This Seventh-order Spirit Vein is comparable to a peak top-quality Spiritual Treasure, which would be a powerful weapon for a Peak Transformation God or even a Half-immortal.

However, the role of Spirit Veins is significant and they form the enduring foundation of a Sect’s legacy, thus cannot be crudely equated with Spiritual Treasures.
