Chapter 1596 (Raw 1578): Mysterious Stall Owner

When the four people at the neighboring table saw Xiao Suo drink that cup of wine while under pressure from the Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng, they immediately were elated.

"So what if you are a Minor Primal Core Venerate? Before Senior Brother Luo Feng, you still have to behave obediently," the alluring woman said in a piercing voice as she looked cockily at Xiao Suo.

The crowd watching in the restaurant were all shocked. The Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng, actually managed to overwhelm a Minor Primal Core cultivator with his momentum.

"Consider yourself wise. Remember, in the future, don't just casually discuss me, Luo Feng. Otherwise, even if you are a Minor Primal Core expert, I will teach you a lesson!"

The Ice-Snow Sword Luo Feng laughed coldly and ignored Xiao Chen's group.

"Big Brother, I have never been so annoyed in my life. This brat is overly arrogant. Even if he is incredible, if I truly fought with him, it would be an even fight," Xiao Suo muttered, feeling frustrated and dissatisfied.

"An even fight?"

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "It looks like you are rather lacking in confidence. If you really fought, he absolutely would not be a match for you."

"Cut the crap. Just eat and drink."

As Xiao Chen had spoken calmly, Xiao Suo had no choice but to suppress his rage. Then, he continued to drink depressedly, cup after cup.

When Xiao Chen raised his head to glance at that Ice-Snow Sword, he happened to meet the other party's knife-like gaze, which carried boundless pressure.

Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen easily dissolved this sharpness, then turned his head to drain the wine in his cup.

This fellow!

Seeing Xiao Chen so calm, the Ice-Snow Sword felt upset for some reason. It was like the other party did not care about him at all.

However, the Ice-Snow Sword had already gained face in the earlier scene. There was no reason or opportunity for him to lose his temper now.

Don't ever let me get a chance. When that happens, let's see if you can still smile, the Ice-Snow Sword thought to himself in his heart.

After three more rounds of drinks, Xiao Chen paid the bill. Then, he looked at Luo Nan and asked, "How's your body?"

Luo Nan forced out a smile and replied, "It's still fine, just a little weak and lacking energy. I'm afraid that even after being healed, I will just be a cripple in the future."

Fei`er said right away, "Senior Brother, I will take care of you for life."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Did you hear that? With such a junior sister, why are you still sighing? Look on the bright side. Come, let's go shopping on the third floor. I recall that you use a sword, right? Let's pick out a good sword for you. When you are well, you will be able to use it."

"This…how can I let you do that?"

"It's fine. It's just casual shopping. If you see anything that interests you, just tell me."

The matter with the Ice-Snow Sword did not affect Xiao Chen's mood or mental state at all.

Right now, Xiao Chen's main focus was healing Luo Nan and not showing off.

The Jiao Snake, who was hidden in the Immortal Spirit Ring, nodded to itself. Such a mental state was hard to come by.

The group headed straight for the third floor.

The third floor of Idle Cloud Restaurant was filled with people and very noisy.

There were aged old men, handsome young masters, charming and alluring women, cute and innocent young ladies, sloppy old men, and all sorts of other kinds of people on this level.

The placement of the stalls was extremely casual.

Xiao Chen saw all sorts of cultivators selling Profound Tools and weapons in the stalls.

He had learned in the Azure Dragon Palace that Secret Treasures were known as Profound Tools in the Great Thousand Realms.

Above Profound Tools were Treasure Tools.

However, Treasure Tools were extremely rare and valuable. Even a Major Primal Core Venerate would not be able to purchase a Treasure Tool that they wanted.

The Profound Tools sold in this market were mostly Inferior Grade and Medial Grade. Superior Grade Profound Tools were a rare sight. As for a Peak Grade Profound Tool like the Azure Dragon Divine Wings, there was practically none.

From the looks of this, although Xiao Chen's Azure Dragon Divine Wings was an imitation, it was indeed rather precious.

Luo Nan did not want Xiao Chen to go to great expense, so he merely walked around and did not express any interest. However, Fei`er got very excited and wanted to buy a Medial Grade Profound Tool treasure sword.

Her current sword was only an Inferior Grade Profound Tool. She had long wanted to change it out.

At this moment, Fei`er stood in front of a stall and toyed with a scarlet sword. This was a fire-attributed sword, a Medial Grade Profound Tool.

Not only did the sword look exquisite, but its edge was also extremely sharp. In Xiao Chen's opinion, it was a pretty good sword.

Of course, it was still some distance from being comparable to his Lunar Shadow Saber.

In the Kunlun Realm, the Lunar Shadow Saber was a Transcendent Divine Weapon. In the outer realm, it was likely a peak Superior Grade Profound Tool, yet to reach the level of a Treasure Tool.

The might of a Treasure Tool was extremely horrifying. Even a Major Primal Core cultivator could not fully grasp it.

After some bargaining, Fei`er bought this sword at the price of twenty thousand Spirit Jades.

Xiao Chen was somewhat startled and surprised. It seemed like the value of Spirit Jades was lower than he expected.

His two million Spirit Jades could buy only two hundred Medial Grade Profound Tools. As for Superior Grade Profound Tools, he could probably buy only a few dozen. He was truly poor.

"Damn it. I'm still short of some Spirit Jades." Fei`er counted the Spirit Jades in her spatial ring and discovered that she was still a few hundred short.

"How much are you short of?"

"Two-hundred-odd."

"I'll help you out."

Xiao Chen took out his Spirit Jades and handed them to the stall owner.

"Medial Grade Spirit Jades!"

The stall owner was a white-haired old man. When he saw the Spirit Jades that Xiao Chen handed over, his eyes immediately showed a fiery glint.

After being stunned for a while, he said, "This young master is really extravagant!"

As if he feared Xiao Chen having second thoughts, the stall owner immediately took Xiao Chen's Spirit Jades and cautiously put them away. Then, he quickly placed the sword in Fei`er's hands.

Luo Nan and Fei`er were shocked. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen so easily took out two hundred Medial Grade Spirit Jades.

One Medial Grade Spirit Jade could be exchanged for one hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Jades. However, no one would make such an exchange.

It was already very difficult for ordinary Spirit Jades to be formed. Spirit Jades could be used for cultivating, laying formations, and refining pills or equipment, and were extremely valuable.

All the more so for Medial Grade Spirit Jades. Most times, people would carry a few for emergency use.

When one's Veritable Essence Energy was drained in a huge fight, one could quickly recover most of their Veritable Essence Energy by absorbing a Medial Grade Spirit Jade.

A Superior Grade Spirit Jade was a treasure worth cities and could be obtained only by exchanging equivalent treasures.

After a short explanation, Fei`er asked, "Big Brother Xiao Chen, did you take out the wrong ones?"

"Take out the wrong ones?"

When the white-hair old man heard that, he said, "Young man, you really took the wrong ones out. Can this old man offer you something else in exchange for your Medial Grade Spirit Jades?"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no need. How can I take back something that I gave away? There is no need for Senior to mind it."

At this moment, Xiao Chen was in a great mood. He turned from a pauper to a wealthy person. How could he not be happy?

No wonder the old Dragon Horse in the Azure Dragon Palace said back then that although there were just a few Spirit Jades, they were all of rather high quality.

"Young man, this old man is also too embarrassed to take advantage of you. Here is a VIP invitation for the Purple Cloud Pavilion. When you go to the Purple Cloud Pavilion tonight, you can use this VIP invitation to get not only a VIP room but also a ten percent discount on auction items."

When Xiao Chen received the invitation, Xiao Suo's voice rang out in his ears. Big Brother, this old man is not simple. The auction at the Purple Cloud Pavilion is an annual, large-scale auction. The entire city pays attention to it. Just getting a regular ticket is pretty hard already, not to mention a VIP invitation. Even a person like the Ice-Snow Sword might not be able to obtain one.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. As he looked at the old man, his expression changed slightly.

At first, Xiao Chen had not noticed, but when he looked carefully now, he discovered that while this old man appeared ordinary, his eyes were spirited. There was a fire blazing in their depths.

This old man was either an extremely brilliant refiner or an extremely brilliant Alchemist.

Xiao Chen thought of something, then took out a list of ingredients, which included many herbs, all supplementary herbs used for refining the Heavenly Yang Pill. These were all very precious and hard to find.

"Old sir, can you take a look at this list and see if you can help me obtain the ingredients listed in it?"

"Sure, let me take a look."

Smiling, the old man at the stall accepted the list. Then, he casually read it out, "Yang Fish Grass, White Flame Flower, Fire Cloud Fruit…Dragonification Fluid. All these are ingredients with extremely strong Yang attribute."

As the old man continued looking down the list, his expression changed radically. Then, he looked seriously at Xiao Chen. "Are you also lacking one hundred one-thousand-year-old Baleful Yang Energy?"

Xiao Chen felt shocked. Unexpectedly, the other party could make out that this was for the Heavenly Yang Pill.
