Inside Ruixia Trading Company, the place was packed with people, as if entering an ant nest. The grand hall, tens of thousands of miles away, was surprisingly crowded.
Although everyone deliberately lowered their voices, the entire hall was still bustling with voices, as if it was about to explode.
The main hall was divided into three levels: the first floor had the most people, the second level was next, and the third floor had far fewer people.
Lei Yun'er led Long Chen to the third level. Eagle Fighter obediently followed behind. Upon entering the third level, there were dedicated personnel inspecting the nameplates. Without a certain status or status, they weren't even qualified to enter the third level, so there were far fewer people on this level.
Identity badges like Long Chen and Ying Bokong weren't qualified to enter, but the two had already borrowed from Lei Yun'er.
Ahead was a straight passageway, flanked by luxurious display booths displaying various treasures.
"Let me buy you a weapon."
Lei Yun'er knew Long Chen had no weapons, so she pulled him over to a display booth. This was a massive display, stretching thousands of miles, almost occupying half the passageway.
All kinds of divine weapons were found here, all of which were king-level or higher, and even large vehicles like chariots and flying boats.
But when he saw the price, Long Chen shook his head. Even the cheapest ones cost several thousand Immortal King Crystals, while the most expensive ones cost over ten thousand. Although these royal artifacts were of excellent quality, Long Chen still felt the prices were ridiculously high.
Because he was the head of the Seventh Branch of Lingxiao Academy, the main academy had sent several royal artifacts and divine weapons, stored in the Seventh Branch's warehouse to be exchanged for the strong.
Although it was exchanged with points, points also had conversion rates, so Long Chen could roughly estimate the basic value of a king's artifact.
So after seeing the royal artifacts here, Long Chen felt that the prices at Ruixia Trading Company seemed a bit high.
"What kind of divine weapon do you like? I'll buy it for you. You must pick one—I have over thirty thousand Immortal King Crystals." Lei Yun'er pulled Long Chen along. Although Long Chen couldn't 'live,' she planned to take over this 'trap' first. It felt like if Long Chen accepted her gift, he would become hers.
"Didn't you want the Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Pill? Why don't we go take a look at the pills first? "Long Chen looked at these royal artifacts, finding them ridiculously expensive. He felt this place was a bit dark. He didn't want to be ripped off; no matter who spent it, it was unpleasant.
"Alright then, I need to buy one thousand Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Pills first to build my foundation for ascending to Divine Lord. After I finish buying, I'll see how much money I have left, and I'll buy you all good things." Lei Yun'er said with a cheeky smile.
But when she arrived at the pill booth, the smile on Lei Yun'er's face gradually faded, because she saw the price of the Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Pill at thirty Immortal King Crystals each.
"Wow, this is way too dark! Why aren't you going to rob it?" Long Chen looked at the price of the pill and almost cursed.
The Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Pill is a pill refined specifically for demon beast clans. Usually, it is not included in the formula, but it is specifically designed to enhance the blood soul of thunder-type demon beasts. The main ingredient is the Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Grass, an extremely rare and precious medicine.
But no matter how rare it is, there is a way to cultivate it. It's just a fourth-grade pill, and it's a top-grade pill, not a top-grade pill. Even if it's a top-grade pill, being worth a single Immortal King Crystal is already sky-high.
A single high-grade pill, yet the Saint Pill Hall dared to ask for thirty Immortal King Crystals. This was truly shady to the extreme. No wonder there was no Huayun Trading Company here. If Huayun Trading Company showed up, it would have gone bankrupt immediately.
"What's going on? Wasn't it the Sixteen Immortal King Crystal that used to produce a Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Pill? How did it suddenly go up so much? Lei Ling'er said angrily.
The person in charge of receiving Long Chen and Lei Ling'er was an elderly man dressed in a long robe, with a cold expression. On his chest was a purple pill furnace painted, and no one knew what kind of status he held in the Sacred Pill Hall.
The old man replied indifferently, "You know, those were the sixteen Immortal King Crystals from before, which were the price when the previous Divine Lord Immortal Realm opened."
Three years ago, the Sacred Pill Hall's medicinal fields in the Qifeng Domain suffered a natural disaster, causing most of the Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Grass to die.
The remaining Thunder Spirit Blood Soul Grass was also affected by the fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao, causing huge obstacles to pill refining and resulting in a pill completion rate below one-third of the usual rate.
It can be said that the price of thirty Immortal King Crystals is already very reasonable. "
Nonsense! The Qifeng Domain is right next to us. How come we've never heard of any natural disasters?" Lei Yun'er was furious. She knew about that place but hadn't heard anything happen. She felt this old man was deliberately deceiving her.
The old man's expression changed, and he said grimly, "Do we really need to consult your beast clan about our Sacred Pill Hall's affairs?"
I said if you suffer a natural disaster, then it's a disaster. At this price, buy it if you want, or if not, get lost. "
Long Chen shook his head. This old guy was probably just making things up and making things up, but the place he said was right next to Lei Yun'er's family. Lei Yun'er exposed it on the spot, and Lei Yun'er couldn't keep his composure and immediately turned hostile.
Obviously, this old man didn't know Lei Yun'er's background; otherwise, he wouldn't have said something that could be exposed at any moment. But even if he did, he absolutely couldn't admit it.
"Who do you think is getting lost?" Do you think that just because you use the name of the Saint Pill Hall to bully my Lei Sun clan? Lei Yun'er trembled with rage, murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
Upon hearing the name of the Thunder Falcon clan, the old man's expression changed instantly, but he still forced himself to stay calm and said, "
So what if the Thunder Falcon clan is involved?" I'm stating the truth, but I'm old and may have misremembered the location of the medicinal field. Can you really do anything to me because of this?" "
You... Shameless. Lei Yun'er gritted her teeth in anger. This man was so shameless. It was clearly him who wanted to kill someone, but since he said he remembered the wrong place, she had no way to do anything.
"I have already been polite enough to you. Please watch your words. You must understand who truly decides this star domain.
Besides, the price of these pills is set by the higher-ups. Even if they are sold at a high price, they won't end up in my own pocket. Why make things difficult for me?" The old man said coldly.
The old man's words were firm yet soft, implying that the price wasn't set by me, nor was I targeting you on purpose. Everyone should just give in and let this matter pass. If you keep getting entangled, it won't do the Thunder Falcon clan any good. After all, in the entire Tiandu star domain, only the Sacred Pill Hall sells pills.
Lei Yun'er's face turned ashen with anger, but she was helpless. After all, all the pills in the Tianluo Star Domain were under the control of the Sacred Pill Hall, so no matter the price, they had to buy them.
Long Chen shook his head. This is the dominance of monopoly—prices go up on a whim. You have no temper at all. Compared to Huayun Trading Company, this Saint Pill Hall is really something.
"Oh, why does the princess of the Thunder Falcon clan look so pale? Could it be that the Thunder Falcon clan has already declined and can't even afford pills anymore? "Just then, a sarcastic voice rang out.
