Chapter 2490 Space Jade Workshop
Third floor!
This was a floor specialized in selling jade-type materials, so this was the first place Lin Feng chose.
Bringing Tao Tao and Tangyuan, they went up a long spiral staircase and arrived on the third floor. Only then did they notice that every shop built into the walls here had a number. This was much more regulated than in Ling City; strictly speaking, it was the first time Lin Feng had seen such a setup.
They wandered along the corridor at random. It had to be said, this place truly deserved to be called a market dedicated to selling top-grade materials. Materials one would normally never have the chance to see could basically all be found here. There were even some even rarer materials that could also be seen here.
Heart Jade!
Soul Jade!
Diamond Jade!
...
Here, the types of jade were far too many, and all of extremely fine quality. But in terms of price, they were likewise anything but cheap. Once one reached the Divine King level, buying them was still no easy matter. It could be said that the top-grade materials here were not a single bit cheaper than those at an auction house.
Lin Feng had come here to look for materials with space attributes, because he wanted to make another Teleportation Disk. He only had one right now, which really was too inconvenient. Even if he couldn’t make a Teleportation Disk, constructing a Teleportation Formation also required a large amount of such space materials.
Once the Holy Pill Pavilion was officially established in the future, using small Teleportation Formations to deliver Flawless Quality Elixirs would be the fundamental way to solve that issue. He couldn’t always rely on personally sitting in town. In the future, this side of things would be handled by Yao Nan, Old Yao, over at the Xucheng Holy Pill Pavilion doing Alchemy. He didn’t plan to interfere in this matter later. If Old Yao’s Alchemy supply wasn’t enough, then he would see about finding a few trustworthy Alchemists to sit in town.
Without realizing it, they arrived at a shop numbered Group Three, Number Seventeen. On the shopfront there was a signboard: Space Jade Workshop!
Seeing this signboard, Lin Feng immediately grew interested and led Tao Tao and Tangyuan inside. After entering, it was indeed just as Lin Feng had anticipated: all the jade sold here was of the space type.
"How do you sell the jade here?" Lin Feng looked at an old man inside and directly asked.
"The jade here is divided by quality, and there are also many types. Which type do you want?" The old man looked at Lin Feng and directly asked, though his eyes carried doubt. He couldn’t understand why someone as young as Lin Feng would come here to buy these jades. Generally speaking, the people who came here for jade were from Sects, because those outside of Sects basically had no use for this stuff.
"You have many different kinds of Space Jade here?" Lin Feng truly hadn’t thought of that. Not only him, even Tao Tao and Tangyuan were quite surprised; they hadn’t expected there to actually be other types of Space Jade here.
"This is your first time here, isn’t it?" The old man looked at Lin Feng and explained with a smile, "The Space Jade here is divided into several kinds. One is Sky Jade, which strengthens space; one is Stabilizing Sky Jade, which stabilizes space; and another is Revival Jade, which has spatial mobility. Which type do you need?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly understood. The one with spatial mobility should be the jade used to build Teleportation Formations or make Teleportation Disks, while the one that stabilizes space should be the jade used for Space Treasures. Only this Sky Jade that strengthened space, Lin Feng wasn’t sure what was going on with that. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What is Sky Jade used for? I really haven’t encountered this kind of jade before."
"Sky Jade is a supportive jade. It’s used to assist in building Teleportation Formations or crafting Space Treasures. It can make a Teleportation Formation’s teleportation more stable, or make the internal space of a Space Treasure larger." The old man looked at Lin Feng and explained with a smile.
Only after hearing the old man’s explanation did Lin Feng understand what this Sky Jade was. Thinking briefly, he felt that he needed all three kinds of jade, though he would need less of the one used for making Space Treasures. So he looked at the old man and seriously asked, "How do you sell these three kinds of jade?"
"I have Grade One to Grade Five here. Anything higher I don’t have. A Grade One piece is one hundred Yuan Stones, a Grade Five piece is one million Yuan Stones each!" The old man looked at Lin Feng and smilingly announced the price. His look seemed to say that Lin Feng simply couldn’t afford this jade.
Hearing the old man quote the price, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected the jade here to be so outrageously priced. He had learned before that materials in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm were divided into nine grades, and Grade Five materials were only mid-tier, yet these mid-tier materials actually cost a million Yuan Stones per piece. This price was simply too terrifying!
"Can it be any cheaper?" Lin Feng asked as he looked at the old man. He currently had less than twenty million Yuan Stones on hand, and some of that still had to be used for other things. If he spent it all on these jades, he wouldn’t be able to buy many.
"I’ve been selling here for many years. I don’t haggle." The old man looked at Lin Feng and shook his head.
Why is it so expensive!
This is way too expensive...
Tao Tao and Tangyuan hadn’t taken it seriously at first, thinking the price quoted was just an opening offer and that they could bargain it down. But when they heard the old man say that, they were immediately a bit dazed. They’d never run into this before, and only now did they realize that space-type jade was this frighteningly expensive!
Unconsciously, they turned their gaze toward Lin Feng, wondering whether Lin Feng would still buy under such conditions. This price was really too exaggerated; even if they sold everything they had, they probably still wouldn’t be able to buy much!
Lin Feng also saw the expressions on Tao Tao and Tangyuan’s faces and gave a slight shake of his head. Weighing things in his heart, he felt that building a Teleportation Formation didn’t actually require that many jades. Moreover, if he wanted to teleport extremely long distances, Grade Five jade definitely wouldn’t be enough, so the demand in this regard wasn’t that high and not particularly urgent. As for Space Treasures, for now it was enough to make three—one for Tao Tao, one for Ma Biaohu, and one for Gu Tianhai. Only the Teleportation Disk, he felt, was a must. With a Teleportation Disk, everything he did would be much more convenient.
The only thing that left Lin Feng truly helpless was that the Teleportation Disk he had obtained from Machine Spirit Venerable used supreme-grade jade, a material that surpassed the nine grades. He couldn’t be sure how far a Teleportation Disk made from Grade Five jade would teleport. And there was another issue: a single Teleportation Disk required seventeen pieces of jade, not counting the other materials. If he really wanted to buy them, he feared that even if he spent all the Yuan Stones he had, he still wouldn’t be able to put together a single Teleportation Disk.
"I’m sincerely buying. Can we discuss the price a bit?" Lin Feng looked at the old man.
"If you’re using Yuan Stones, this is the price. But if you have something else, I can consider it." The old man looked at Lin Feng and said. In fact, most of the time, there were few people who used Yuan Stones to buy, so bartering was also possible. It was just that in this case, the problem lay in what the other party brought out, and the two sides had to negotiate, which was more troublesome.
"What about Elixirs?" Lin Feng asked directly.
"What grade of Elixir?" The old man perked up as soon as he heard Lin Feng say that. Since Lin Feng knew the price of these items, what he brought out couldn’t be inferior. At the very least it had to be a Universe Grade Elixir; that would be worth discussing.
Seeing that there was an opening, Lin Feng smiled. Without saying anything more, he directly took out a Flawless Quality Universe Grade Fivefold Jade Dew Pill. With the old man’s vision, he should know what this was.
Sure enough, the moment the old man saw the Elixir in Lin Feng’s hand, he could no longer remain calm. His eyes practically bulged out as he stared at Lin Feng in disbelief and said, "H–How can you possibly have a Flawless Quality one!"
To be honest, the old man was truly shocked by this. He had seen many Universe Grade Elixirs, but in several thousand years he had never encountered a Flawless Quality one. Even when cultivators explored ancient ruins, they almost never saw any. Moreover, whenever Universe Grade Elixirs appeared on the market, they were basically taken by those few top Sects. People outside—even if they got their hands on one—had no right to use it!
"Don’t ask how I got it. Just ask whether this can be traded." Lin Feng smiled at the old man.
"Of course it can!" The old man answered without even thinking. If he could really get his hands on this Flawless Quality Universe Grade Elixir, he would be set. He might even end up forming connections with those Super Sects; at that point, he would truly turn his fortunes around!
Thinking of this, the more the old man thought about it, the more excited he became. But he still suppressed his inner excitement and asked Lin Feng, "How do you want to trade?"
"One Elixir for three pieces of Grade Five jade." Lin Feng named his price directly.
"Three pieces is too many. A normal Universe Grade Elixir can indeed sell for a million Yuan Stones, but the problem is that even Flawless Quality is still a Universe Grade Elixir. It can’t sell for that much!" The old man patiently haggled with Lin Feng. In fact, this price wasn’t something he couldn’t accept. Having a Flawless Quality Universe Grade Elixir would bring him far too many benefits. But he couldn’t just let Lin Feng set any price he wanted; this wasn’t a small amount.
"Three pieces isn’t much. Flawless Quality ones basically never appear on the market, right?"
"It’s still a Universe Grade Elixir, and a pill like this isn’t easy for me to sell either. The risk is too great!"
"That’s my price. And I can tell you, I have many Flawless Quality Universe Grade Elixirs!"
"That’s impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. If you can accept three pieces, then I can exchange for a lot of your jade here."
"That still won’t do. The risk for me really is too great. Two pieces. That price is fair."
...
After that, Lin Feng and the old man began a round of back-and-forth bargaining. After more than a full two hours, the old man finally compromised, allowing Lin Feng to trade two Flawless Quality Universe Grade Elixirs for five pieces of Grade Five jade, thus ending the long haggling process.
Lin Feng took out a total of ten Flawless Quality Universe Grade Elixirs, and in the end exchanged them for twenty-five pieces of Grade Five jade. This result left Lin Feng quite satisfied. At the very least, this was much better than directly using Yuan Stones, because for him, as long as he had the materials, he could refine Flawless Quality Elixirs, whereas gathering this many Yuan Stones would be much more difficult...
