Chapter 439: Chapter 436: Expensive Peanuts
This is insane! Absolutely insane!
An Immortal Artifact for each person... doesn’t that mean Mo Qi is selling his peanuts at the price of one Immortal Artifact per nut?!
He must be crazy for money!
Why doesn’t he just go rob someone?
The leading Immortal from the Long Yang Sub-Palace frowned.
Offering a Pseudo-Immortal Artifact was already a concession made for Liu Hui’s sake. He never expected Mo Qi’s appetite to be countless times greater than he’d imagined!
One Immortal Artifact per person... even for a wealthy group like the Long Yang Sub-Palace, that would be an incredibly painful loss.
Seeing that the "market" was difficult to open, Mo Qi discreetly gave the Pig Emperor a signal.
The Pig Emperor understood. With a mere thought, the development speed of the fetuses in the Immortals’ abdomens doubled.
Pain!
Excruciating pain!
A pain that even Immortals couldn’t resist or endure shot up from their groins and lower abdomens.
Everyone’s expression changed in an instant.
The leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace cried out in agony, "Fine! One Immortal Artifact for one peanut! Give me one first! I hope you’re not playing me for a fool. Otherwise, even if I have to sacrifice my Immortal Cultivation, I will kill you with my own hands!"
As he spoke, the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace tossed out a great saber that was golden from hilt to tip.
He had no more time to think.
He could always earn back an Immortal Artifact, but given his status, if he really had to give birth via C-section here, his lifelong reputation would be utterly destroyed.
He would become the laughingstock of the Long Yang Sub-Palace, the biggest joke in its history.
That was something he could not tolerate under any circumstances.
So, even though Mo Qi’s peanuts seemed so ridiculous and the price he demanded was so outrageous, he had no choice but to give it a try.
Mo Qi took the Immortal Artifact saber and, without a word, immediately erased the ownership mark the Long Yang Sub-Palace’s leader had left inside the blade.
Then he handed him a single peanut.
The leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace had no mind to care about his ownership mark. He didn’t even care that his spiritual consciousness was damaged as a result.
After getting the peanut, he swallowed it down impatiently.
Hm?
The moment the peanut entered his stomach, the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace felt his body lighten, and the pain sharply decreased.
Then, he clearly felt the fetus in his abdomen stop plundering the Energy within his body.
In the next second, a peculiar energy attached itself to his Dantian, completely absorbing the fetus and transforming it into a pure stream of the Breath of Life. This stream merged into his Dantian, nourishing his flesh, blood, and Meridians, and spreading to every corner of his body.
There was only one way to describe the feeling: euphoric as hell!
"Ahhh~"
The transition from extreme agony to extreme ecstasy took less than three seconds in total.
So, the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.
But to the others, it sounded more like a sensual gasp.
Seeing this, Mo Qi gave the Pig Emperor another signal. The Pig Emperor immediately reined in his power and actively suppressed the growth rate of the fetuses inside the other Immortals, allowing them to hold on a little longer without completely collapsing.
"So? Worth the price, wouldn’t you say?" Mo Qi asked with a smile.
The leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace slowly opened his eyes. He gave Mo Qi a deep look, then answered his question with action by nodding his head.
"Here are five Immortal Artifacts, two teeth from a True Dragon, and one True Dragon’s claw. In exchange for eight of your peanuts. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Immortal Artifacts were one thing, but to bring out the teeth and claw of a True Dragon!
Those two items were priceless Treasures that you couldn’t buy even if you had the money!
They were far, far more precious than Immortal Artifacts.
Just as everyone thought Mo Qi would be ecstatic, he instead clicked his tongue and sighed with some reluctance. "Alright, seeing as you’re the first customer, I won’t haggle with you. It’s a deal!"
With that, Mo Qi put away the Immortal Artifacts, the dragon teeth, and the Dragon Claw, then counted out eight peanuts and gave them to the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace.
In truth, compared to Immortal Artifacts and Treasures, he would have much preferred Spirit Medicine of an equivalent value.
"Thank you," the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace said with a nod.
’Thank you?’
The others were losing their minds. They felt like they were going crazy.
’Was that "thank you" for real?’
How could they have known? Mo Qi’s peanuts were no ordinary peanuts.
After countless experiments, he had finally succeeded in developing them, infusing some of his own special abilities into the Medicinal Cuisine.
For instance, these peanuts were fused with a portion of his "Gorging and Drinking" ability.
When the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace swallowed the peanut, the "Gorging and Drinking" ability activated, and the fetus in his abdomen was devoured in reverse, reverting into the purest Breath of Life.
This Breath of Life was then integrated into the body of the Long Yang Sub-Palace’s leader, where it was digested and absorbed.
As a result, he received immense benefits.
The Breath of Life revitalized and cleared his Meridians, healing all the hidden injuries that had accumulated in his body over the years.
These were the hidden injuries of an Immortal!
If he hadn’t experienced it himself and confirmed it again and again, he would never have believed it was real!
Not only that, but the spiritual damage from having his ownership mark forcibly erased had also completely vanished, leaving no negative side effects whatsoever.
You could say that this single peanut not only solved the fetus problem for the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace, but it also cleared a major obstacle on his path of cultivation.
Putting everything else aside, the value of just healing his hidden injuries already surpassed that of an Immortal Artifact.
This was also why the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace had so readily bought another eight peanuts.
"The Long Yang Sub-Palace hereby withdraws from this Sub-Palace exchange!"
After distributing the peanuts, the leader of the Long Yang Sub-Palace made his decision.
Without waiting for the members of the other Sub-Palaces to react, he led his people and retreated into the distance.
"This..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their gazes turned fervent as they stared at the peanuts in Mo Qi’s hand.
None of them were fools.
The reaction of the Long Yang Sub-Palace’s leader said it all.
Regardless of any other effects, at the very least, these peanuts could 100% solve the pregnancy problem.
"Give me one!" a white-haired, wrinkle-faced old man exclaimed, taking out an Immortal Artifact longsword and offering it to Mo Qi.
"I want one too!"
"And me!"
...
The crowd of Immortals, all clutching their large bellies and with nearly an Immortal Artifact in each of their hands, clamored to buy a peanut from Mo Qi.
However, Mo Qi didn’t accept any of the Immortal Artifacts. He glanced at the crowd and said softly, "Quiet!"
The Immortals all shut their mouths, not daring to disobey.
"As you can all see, the number of peanuts is limited. I will now announce a few rules for the sale."
"One: The highest bidder wins."
"Two: Those offering Spirit Medicine will be given priority."
"Three: No arguments will be accepted."
"Four: You must swear on your soul that for the duration of the Sub-Palace exchange, you will no longer target me or the Pig Emperor."
"Five: Those who do not accept these conditions can go cut themselves open on the side."
The five conditions left the Immortals completely stunned.
In fact, under the circumstances, these conditions weren’t too excessive, nor were they unacceptable.
But the crucial problem was that the number of peanuts was limited!
After the nine taken by the Long Yang Sub-Palace, there were only seven left.
But there were nearly five hundred pregnant Immortals present!
Not enough to go around!
Nowhere near enough!
