Chapter 706: Precious Land, Trading!
"It can't be that everyone is dead, can it?" Zheng Aotian said, "I heard that in the previous battle, the entire family of the Sect Master of Xingluo Peak was killed by the Supreme Sect, leaving only the youngest daughter. Presumably, to eradicate the roots, the Supreme Sect will come to hunt them down."
At this time, Hong Lian also said: "I heard that Yu Xing'er, the daughter of the Sect Master of Xingluo Peak, has been recruiting soldiers and buying horses everywhere to take revenge on the Supreme Sect for over a month. Unfortunately, their financial resources are far from sufficient. Not only did I hear that they sent people to the Mortal World to earn money, but they also plan to sell Xingluo Peak."
Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly realized, so that Sixth Grade Grandmaster Elder's idea to go to the Mortal World to make money was Yu Xing'er's.
It has to be said, what a terrible idea.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a person appeared beside the river in front of the waterfall and called out to them: "Who goes there!!"
Seeing the situation, Zheng Aotian replied: "Sorry, we are from Heavenly King Palace, representing Broken Mountain Sect and Moon Cutting Sect. We didn't mean to offend, truly sorry, we will leave right now, right now..."
There was no helping it.
Even if Xingluo Peak had fallen on hard times, it was once an existence they looked up to.
Deep down, they felt respect and fear towards it.
"Broken Mountain Sect, Moon Cutting Sect..."
The man muttered to himself and then asked, "Are you here to look at the mountain gate?"
"Look... at the mountain gate?"
Zheng Aotian and his companions exchanged glances.
The man sighed again and continued: "Forget it! Go ahead and leave! I've heard that you are also being pursued by the Supreme Sect, and you probably need money as well. You can't afford our Xingluo Peak, so please leave!"
"..."
Zheng Aotian suddenly understood.
It was just as Hong Lian said, they really intended to sell off the land of Xingluo Peak!
Xingluo Peak had a history of over a hundred years here.
Judging from the natural spirit and beauty of this place.
The surrounding area is set up with a great number of Spirit Stones and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to form a Great Formation, making this place like a secluded paradise. Living here long-term, one could improve their cultivation without even practicing; it's indeed an excellent location.
However, creating such a great place required too many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
It also took them decades of development to gradually make it what it is today.
So how could they possibly afford it?
"We will leave immediately..."
Zheng Aotian called out to the man.
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
Qin Feng was very speechless and stopped him, saying: "Have you forgotten what we came here to do?"
"Uh..."
Zheng Aotian said awkwardly, "I forgot out of nervousness."
Qin Feng, embarrassed, simply stepped forward and called out to the man: "How much do you plan to sell it for? I'll buy it!"
"What?!"
After the words fell.
Zheng Aotian, Hong Lian, and the others were taken aback.
They knew Qin Feng was wealthy, but how could such a significant Sect and such a wonderful place be simply bought?
The man from Xingluo Peak also paused in surprise upon hearing Qin Feng's words, and asked, "Really?"
Just as Qin Feng was about to nod, Zheng Aotian immediately covered his mouth in anxiety and said, "Mr. Qin, you can't buy it, you can't!"
"Why?"
"The amount of money needed for such a big Sect is too much!!" Zheng Aotian said anxiously, "If we calculate it in terms of Spirit Stones, it would be at least ten thousand pieces!"
A single Spirit Stone was of great value.
Ten thousand pieces.
That was simply an astronomical figure!
Of course.
Such a wonderful place was indeed worth the money.
"No, no!"
Seeing this, the man from Xingluo Peak immediately shook his head and said, "You don't need ten thousand pieces, we can give a discount!"
"A discount? How much would it cost then?"
Qin Feng asked.
"Give us a 90% discount, just 1,000 Spirit Stones will be enough."
The person said.
"..."
Qin Feng was embarrassed.
Such a steep discount!
A straight-up 90% off!
Seeing Qin Feng stunned, the person thought the price might still be too high, and after gritting their teeth, they said, "800 Spirit Stones, and not a stone less!"
"Uh..."
Qin Feng snapped back to reality, intending to agree.
Just 800 stones, quite a bargain.
But then, Zheng Aotian urgently stopped him, saying, "Mr. Qin, you really can't buy! With the price so low, there must be a catch!"
"Right, I also think there's something fishy." At this moment, Hong Lian pondered with knitted brows, "Xingluo Peak is such a treasure land, this price would surely attract bidders, but no one has bought it. I think it's definitely because they're afraid of the Supreme Sect!"
"Just think about it, such a nice place, if the Supreme Sect obliterated Xingluo Peak, how could they not seize it?"
"Maybe they're just too busy contending for the title of the number one in the Qinling right now to care about this."
"Once they have taken the number one spot, they will come back to take over."
"That's why no one dares to buy."
"..."
Hearing this, the man from Xingluo Peak changed his expression and quickly shouted at Qin Feng, "In that case, I can give you a discount, 600 Spirit Stones!!"
"Don't do it, Mr. Qin, that money will go down the drain sooner or later."
Zheng Aotian and others continued to persuade.
The man from Xingluo Peak was on the verge of tears, and with another grit of his teeth, he said, "500 stones!! I really can't go any lower..."
"Uh..."
At this point, Qin Feng was thoroughly embarrassed.
At 1,000 Spirit Stones, he was ready to buy.
For a place like Xingluo Peak, it might not even be possible to create such quality for 10,000 Spirit Stones.
And yet.
Before he could speak, the price dropped to 500.
"Cough cough..."
Just as Qin Feng was about to raise his hand in agreement.
The man from Xingluo Peak, thinking Qin Feng wouldn't buy, was almost in tears, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, I really can't lower the price anymore, 500 is already rock-bottom!"
"..."
Qin Feng was embarrassed.
He didn't expect this guy to be offering a "rock-bottom price," obviously he had been to the Mortal World.
He wasn't the tender-hearted sort, and told him, "Okay, I'll buy it."
"Really?!"
The person's eyes immediately shone brightly, and then, with a "whoosh" sound, he rushed to Qin Feng's side, as if afraid that even a second's delay would change his mind, and immediately took out a contract, telling Qin Feng, "Sign here, just a drop of your blood will do."
Qin Feng took the contract and glanced at it, couldn't help thinking to himself, what a steal!
According to the distribution map on the contract, the 500 Spirit Stones were buying not just this location; this was only the front gate of Xingluo Peak. Behind it were several other peaks, all as rich in Spiritual Energy and as picturesque as this one.
"Whose name is this on the contract? Do you have the right to make this sale?"
Qin Feng saw Yu Xing'er's signature on the document.
"I am Zhi Ziyang, one of the seventy-two protectors of Xingluo Peak, and Yu Xing'er is our successor for Xingluo Peak, so this contract is valid," Zhi Ziyang said.
"Alright then, I'll sign."
Ignoring Zheng Aotian and Hong Lian's objections, Qin Feng wrote down his name and then pressed it against an intricate rune on the contract after biting his finger.
He knew this was a "Heavenly Curse," a secret bond used in the Hidden World for significant agreements!
The next moment.
The rune emitted a strange glow, and in a flash, it coursed through Qin Feng's broken fingertip and into his brain!
Then.
A girl's voice appeared in his mind: "I am willing to establish this agreement with you, witnessed by the heavens above, and should there be any breach, I am willing to accept Heavenly Punishment..."
