Chapter 2491 The Thirteenth Floor
"Boss, shouldn’t we have secured a better deal?"
Upon leaving the Space Jade Workshop, Tangyuan muttered a sentence. It was aware of how rare Universe Grade Elixirs were outside; they were almost unseen. The entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm had few skilled in Universe Grade Alchemy, and it felt like they hadn’t profited.
"Indeed, Brother Lin, if we auctioned those Universe Grade Elixirs and then bought them back, wouldn’t it be easier?"
Tao Tao added from the side, thinking likewise. Given the circumstances, it seemed more suitable, especially considering the huge sum involved. Auctioning might save a couple million Yuan Stones, which is no small figure!
Upon hearing their words, Lin Feng smiled and addressed them, "Have you ever considered where such elixirs could appropriately be auctioned? If we’re talking about regular Universe Grade Elixirs, even at auction in Ling City, ten at once would be impossible; at most, three or so. But if it’s Flawless Quality, the issue becomes more complex, likely attracting many people and alerting other Super Sects. Hence, Ling City is definitely not an option!"
"And the most crucial point is, even in other tier-one cities, we can’t auction such quantities. Remember, rarity breeds value; if suddenly too many Universe Grade Elixirs appeared, they would lose their worth! Directly trading here ensures confidentiality from that old man, or else he’d suffer dire consequences. All we need is to guard against that old man."
Upon Lin Feng’s explanation, Tao Tao and Tangyuan understood the situation, realizing his reasoning made sense. Despite seeming like a loss, it actually provided more safety. Compared to other options, this outcome was easier to accept.
Lin Feng didn’t dwell further and simply smiled before leading them to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor mainly housed mineral-type materials, necessary for crafting Dharma Treasures and special items. At this moment, Lin Feng didn’t delay, browsing through shop after shop, analyzing for anything that caught his eye.
One couldn’t deny the high quality of materials sold here; most were key ingredients for Creation Level Dharma Treasures. Though Law Level Dharma Treasure materials were scarce, Lin Feng found this unsurprising, given the rarity of Artifact Refiners capable of crafting Law Level Dharma Treasures.
Yet, Lin Feng showed no interest in generic materials, even top-notch items for Creation crafting weren’t enticing. He was contemplating an item for Tao Tao, who lacked a handy Dharma Treasure, even a weapon. Therefore, if crafting for her, he would undoubtedly choose the finest, enabling her to surpass other Divine Kings, even use it up to Divine Venerable level.
After a thorough search, Lin Feng still hadn’t found anything suitable, but he did purchase some auxiliary materials, even those beyond common comprehension.
"Is there really no higher grade or special materials here?" Lin Feng frowned, murmuring to himself, sensing an oddity in the situation, suspecting non-standard materials must exist.
"Brother Lin, could there be a special area selling exactly what you need?" Tao Tao added, finding the situation peculiar; despite the good quality, nothing reached transcendental levels. Only familiar materials existed, which seemed out of place.
"Boss, have you noticed something? There are twelve total floors, but above the twelfth, there’s another. Should we check the topmost part? There might be what we’re looking for." Tangyuan voiced its thoughts, curious about the upper area, driven by a gut feeling that the unmarked thirteenth floor might hold their desired items.
Having looked up, Lin Feng noticed the thirteenth floor. Ignored before, viewing it now matched Tangyuan’s intuition; nonstandard items likely resided there.
Determined, he led Tao Tao and Tangyuan upward. The spiral staircase was vast, necessitating a long ascent until reaching the top, where guards halted them at the entrance.
"What brings you here?"
A peak Universe Realm Divine King queried Lin Feng coldly, perceiving him as out of place, with sufficient offerings on the lower floors.
"I’m searching for special materials unavailable below, hence visiting here." Lin Feng replied to the speaking Divine King, feeling peculiar about guards being peak Universe Realm yet serving as sentinels; it highlighted the Heaven-Extinction Cave owner’s prowess.
"You seek special materials?" The Divine King eyed Lin Feng, seeking clarification.
"Yes, I seek uncommon materials, or those unidentifiable by name." Lin Feng responded calmly.
The Divine King, upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, adopted a more serious demeanor, though his eyes harbored lingering doubt. Careful scrutiny revealed Lin Feng’s true depth unseeable, while the accompanying woman was a genuine early Universe Realm Divine King, with a remarkable demon beast as a pet.
Finally convinced Lin Feng was indeed here to purchase, rather than cause trouble, the Divine King signaled to other guards before turning to enter ahead.
After a few breaths, the returned and led Lin Feng and company into the thirteenth floor.
Previously they viewed the thirteenth floor as seemingly ordinary, yet entering unveiled its unexpected vastness, revealing an additional spatial layer.
Guided by the Divine King, they arrived at the special space inside; large but not extravagant, where an old man resembling an immortal was resting on a nearby rock.
Delivered by the Divine King, Lin Feng and company were left behind to be monitored, while the Divine King resumed gatekeeping duties.
"Are you looking for special materials?"
Qin Lisheng, observing Lin Feng, inquired with a smile, intrigued by such youthful customers for the first time.
"Yes, we’re interested in special materials available here." Lin Feng addressed Qin Lisheng. Sizing up the man, he deduced the Heaven-Extinction Cave owner and likely a Divine Venerable, perceiving the authority far exceeding a Divine King—establishing such a site showcasing formidable power, untapped despite proximity to sects, indicative of extraordinary rental values within.
"Of course, yet the question is whether you can afford them." Qin Lisheng smiled at Lin Feng.
"Let’s assess them first." Lin Feng, unhurriedly replying, intended to evaluate their items before committing, already resolving not to reveal Flawless Universe Grade Elixirs in Qin Lisheng’s domain, opting for ordinary Universe Grade Elixirs if necessary, albeit limited in stock, reserving judgment for future scenarios.
Hearing his words, Qin Lisheng chuckled, shaking his head but still led Lin Feng and company deeper inside, where many showcases divided various specialties, each housing something; notably dissimilar from external offerings, assuring most lacking recognizable names—eighty percent unidentifiable, even named ones unparalleled outside.
Silently examining, Lin Feng thoroughly scrutinized each item until encountering a peculiar jade—a vibrant red cluster seemingly harboring flowing blood. More striking, placed on a showcase, it released a unique aura stirring one’s bloodline.
Examining further, Lin Feng noted the jade’s distinctiveness, bearing spots emitting an aura through these marks. Curious, he looked at Qin Lisheng, asking, "What’s this?"
"I don’t know its name but recognize it as extraordinary. I suspect its potential for crafting Law Level Dharma Treasures; none I know can ascertain its identity. Encountering it then, its peculiar nature compelled acquisition." Qin Lisheng, observing Lin Feng, disclosed its origins.
"What’s its price?" Lin Feng, intrigued, sensed further potential beyond simply crafting Law Level Dharma Treasures.
"Acquisition cost was eight million Yuan Stones. Should you express interest, simply articulate its envisioned use; I’m open to selling at that price." Qin Lisheng offered his mindset, undeterred by price, primarily eager to unveil its mystery—this jade, held for countless years, retaining mystery, the genuine solution sought fervently...
