Capítulo 10: Buying And Selling Treasures
Luo Feng was deeply immersed in his comprehension of the laws, and when he finally stopped, he noticed that it had already grown dark. Morosa was sitting there, bored and daydreaming.
"Master, you're awake?" Morosa said with delight.
"Were you sitting here idly the whole time I was cultivating?" Luo Feng asked. "Why didn't you go out and explore Huyang City? I'm just comprehending the laws, not becoming an idiot! If anyone were to intrude on the cave's formations, I would immediately interrupt my cultivation."
Morosa replied with flattery, "Eating, drinking, and having fun can be done anytime, but when you're cultivating, I must stay and guard. That's the most important thing!"
"Haha, you sure know how to talk," Luo Feng laughed as he stood up. "Alright, let's head out and sell that blue-purple blood crystal flower."
"Master, which place are you planning to sell it to?" Morosa asked as he stood up.
"Of course, the Yan Feng Pavilion," Luo Feng replied, and they immediately headed out.
Moments later, Luo Feng and Morosa were looking from a distance at the towering Yan Feng Pavilion, one of the most prominent buildings in Huyang City, second only to the City Lord's Mansion.
"The safest place in all of Huyang City is this Yan Feng Pavilion," Luo Feng explained. "Even if the entire city were destroyed, this pavilion would remain unscathed."
"Really?" Morosa was surprised, as most of his knowledge about Origin Continent came from Luo Feng.
"The Yan Feng Pavilion represents the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom," Luo Feng continued. "It's a conglomerate of powerful forces within the kingdom, and their business spreads across most of the Origin Continent."
"Even in wars between divine kingdoms, no one dares to touch the Yan Feng Pavilion. To do so would be to offend the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom itself," Luo Feng smiled. "And that would have severe consequences."
Morosa understood, "They have a strong backing."
"No matter what kind of treasure it is, they can buy or sell it!" Luo Feng said. "They're the safest trading partners!"
The blue-purple blood crystal flower was valuable enough to make some Eternal True Gods go mad with envy. To ensure a safe transaction, Luo Feng chose to deal with the Yan Feng Pavilion without hesitation.
The Yan Feng Pavilion covered a vast area, with numerous buildings, and the main hall was specifically for receiving guests from all directions.
As they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, a servant immediately came to greet them, "Divine Lord, please come inside." The servant warmly led Luo Feng and Morosa into a secluded hall.
"Divine Lord, this is Chunmi wine from the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. Please enjoy," the servant said as he poured the wine. This wine, if sold in the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, would cost several Chaos Crystals per cup, and it was impossible to find in Huyang City.
"Chunmi wine?" Luo Feng picked up a cup and took a sip, feeling a gentle, soothing sensation spread through his soul.
"Let's get down to business. I came here to sell a blue-purple blood crystal flower," Luo Feng said as he placed a wooden box on the long table before him.
"A blue-purple blood crystal flower?" The servant was surprised, even though he was accustomed to dealing with Eternal True Gods. He opened the box and saw the seemingly ordinary flower inside.
Buzz~~~ The formations in the Yan Feng Pavilion activated, enveloping the flower in light, and instantly completing the appraisal.
"This blue-purple blood crystal flower is fully matured, well-preserved, and of top quality. According to the current market, the Yan Feng Pavilion is willing to purchase it for 120,000 Universe Sand," the servant said. "What do you think, Divine Lord?"
"Alright," Luo Feng agreed without hesitation.
He knew the rules of the Yan Feng Pavilion well—treasures worth less than a million Universe Sand were generally not subject to negotiation. Some rare treasures had fixed prices set by the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom's headquarters, and the branches had no authority to adjust them.
"Then this blue-purple blood crystal flower now belongs to the Yan Feng Pavilion," the servant said, carefully placing the flower back in the box. At the same time, a cyan jade bottle appeared on the long table, which the servant handed to Luo Feng. "Divine Lord, this bottle contains 120,000 Universe Sand. Please verify."
Luo Feng took the bottle and, with a brief inspection, confirmed that it was accurate.
"The transaction is complete," the servant smiled. "Is there anything else I can assist you with, Divine Lord?"
"I also need to purchase some materials for refining tools. Here's the list," Luo Feng said, handing over a prepared list. "The total price should be around 100,000 Universe Sand."
Most of the Universe Sand obtained from selling the flower would be spent on these materials.
"100,000 Universe Sand, all for these materials?" The servant was astonished. "These materials are mostly common, so the quantity must be very large. Some of these materials might even require entire mountains to be moved. Are you sure you want to spend 100,000 Universe Sand on just these?"
"Can the Yan Feng Pavilion supply them?" Luo Feng asked.
The servant smiled confidently, "You needn't worry about that. Even if it's a hundred or a thousand times more, the Yan Feng Pavilion can have them shipped from elsewhere! As for what you need, our warehouse has ample stock. It will be delivered in the time it takes to drink a cup of wine."
"Good, then please make the arrangements," Luo Feng nodded. "Besides purchasing these materials, I also want to apply to join the Yan Feng Pavilion's 'Dark Hall.'"
The servant smiled, "Once you join the Dark Hall, you can issue tasks, take on tasks, and purchase intelligence. As an Eternal True God, there's no need for any approval or fees; you can join the Dark Hall directly."
As a vast organization spanning most of Origin Continent, the Yan Feng Pavilion also dealt in intelligence and bounty tasks under the name of the Dark Hall. The more clients, the better, so the entry requirements were quite low.
Anyone with enough strength or wealth could join the Dark Hall.
"You'll need a codename for the Dark Hall," the servant said.
Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Call me Blade."
"Done, your application is successful," the servant said, handing Luo Feng a communication token. "This is your Dark Hall communication token. You can use it to contact the Dark Hall in any large city. Whether it's purchasing intelligence, issuing bounties, or accepting tasks, it can all be done through this token. If the token is lost or damaged, you can come to the Yan Feng Pavilion to replace it."
Luo Feng took the Dark Hall communication token, which was specifically for contacting the Dark Hall.
"I'd like a basic intelligence report on the nations of Origin Continent," Luo Feng said, testing the waters by purchasing some intelligence.
"Divine Lord, as a new member of the Dark Hall and an Eternal True God, you have a credit limit of 1,000 Universe Sand, which must be repaid within one epoch. Otherwise, the penalty is ten times the amount owed," the servant reminded.
"I'll pay for the intelligence with 10 Universe Sand first," Luo Feng said, handing over the payment.
He then reviewed the intelligence report just sent to the Dark Hall communication token, which included basic information on the nations of Origin Continent, such as maps and city details.
Luo Feng was most interested in the intelligence on the Shiguo Kingdom.
"...Shiguo Kingdom, with a total of five rulers..." The intelligence report, being basic, only mentioned the number of rulers in Shiguo. There was no information on these god-king-level beings' abilities or treasures.
Luo Feng's expression changed slightly.
"Shiguo now has five rulers? When Master Sitting Mountain Guest fled to the Cosmic Sea, Shiguo only had three rulers," Luo Feng thought. "The Yu Kingdom, on the other hand, hasn't changed much; it still has five god-kings."
"Shiguo has grown stronger during Master's absence."
Luo Feng accepted this reality naturally.
Sitting Mountain Guest had fled Origin Continent, and during the complete cycle of an era in the original universe, he had trained someone as exceptionally talented as Luo Feng. Given Shiguo's aggressive nature, it was natural for changes to occur over such a long period.
Three rulers? Five rulers?
To Luo Feng, who was still just an Eternal True God, this made little difference. Without reaching the god-king level, he had no business getting involved!
"The Dark Hall has a large number of bounty tasks. You might want to take a look," the servant suggested.
Luo Feng nodded.
He easily found a vast number of bounty tasks, including protection, hiring, and assassination missions.
"There's even a bounty to kill the highest commander of the Huyang Legion, 'Moli Xiao'?" Luo Feng was surprised to see this task.
The highest commander of one of the ten major legions of Huyang City was one of the most powerful figures in the city. Even the City Lord's authority might not match that of the highest commander! Yet the Dark Hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion still dared to offer a bounty.
"As long as a client dares to place a task, the Yan Feng Pavilion dares to issue the bounty," the servant smiled. "Even for god-kings, the Yan Feng Pavilion would issue a bounty."
"The Yan Feng Pavilion does indeed have such power," Luo Feng nodded.
Suddenly, a black jade bottle appeared out of thin air, which the servant handed to Luo Feng, "Divine Lord, all the refining materials you requested are in here. Please verify."
Luo Feng inspected the bottle, finding a massive amount of materials piled up like a mountain. With a single thought, he verified everything.
"More than enough, nothing missing," Luo Feng said, satisfied.
"For common materials, we always include extra," the servant explained.
Luo Feng nodded and then turned to Morosa, "Let's go."
The servant personally escorted Luo Feng to the door.
...
Inside one of the smaller buildings of the Yan Feng Pavilion,
A figure made of gray mist was leisurely flipping through intelligence reports when a brawny man walked in.
"Hall Master," the gray mist figure looked at the brawny man with misty eyes, "As the Hall Master, how can you ignore all the matters of the Yan Feng Pavilion and leave them all to this old man?"
"Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you," the brawny man immediately smiled.
"My biggest regret is agreeing to follow you and protect you. Who would have thought that after leaving the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, you would spend over a thousand epochs wandering without returning!" the gray mist figure said. "When do you plan to go back to the family? I'm starting to miss home."
The brawny man said, "I plan to return after breaking through to the Chaos Realm!"
"You're of the Imperial Chu lineage, with noble blood, yet you don't practice the bloodline cultivation method. Instead, you focus on comprehending the laws. I know you have ambitions," the gray mist figure said. "You achieved True God status with the 'Infinite Divine Body' without relying on your bloodline. Every step will be challenging. Generally, our ancestors would first cultivate their bloodline, and when they hit a bottleneck, they would then turn to the laws!"
The brawny man shook his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes, "After walking the easy path for so long, who can succeed when suddenly switching to the hard path? Only the mediocre!"
The gray mist figure nodded in approval, "If you continue down the path of the laws and become a Chaos Master, the family will undoubtedly invest heavily in your cultivation when you return."
On Origin Continent, all god-kings achieved their breakthroughs through the comprehension of laws.
"Becoming a Chaos Master is extremely difficult," the brawny man nodded. "The laws of chaos are incredibly challenging."
He had been born on Origin Continent and had always had a clear sense of the laws. The further he progressed, the more difficult they became.
Luo Feng, on the other hand, was different.
During his time in the original universe, sensing the laws had been incredibly vague. But upon arriving on Origin Continent, Luo Feng had been overjoyed, finding that his comprehension of the laws of chaos was progressing rapidly.
"Hmm?" The gray mist figure noticed a newly arrived intelligence report. After glancing at it, he said to the brawny man, "Hall Master, a new Eternal True God has arrived in Huyang City and has become a client of our Dark Hall, going by the codename 'Blade.'"
"Oh, I see," the brawny man nodded.
Neither of them paid much attention. As direct descendants of the Imperial Chu lineage from the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, they had the privilege of disregarding most Eternal True Gods in Huyang City.
...
Luo Feng and Morosa returned to their cave.
"I'll be in seclusion for some time to cultivate. You're free to do as you please," Luo Feng instructed. "Just remember, don't cause any trouble."
"Don't worry, Master!" Morosa responded enthusiastically.
Luo Feng then turned and entered the underground hall of the cave. As soon as he did, the layers of mechanisms in the underground hall activated, and the formations sealed it off.
This underground hall was specifically designed for secluded cultivation, but Luo Feng still found it small. With a wave of his hand, he released the Star Tower.
Whoosh.
Luo Feng entered the Star Tower, which contained vast spaces that allowed him to cultivate freely without worrying about causing any damage.
"Time to start cultivating the 'Chaos Force Diagram,'" Luo Feng said as he sat cross-legged, beginning his first secluded cultivation on Origin Continent.
