Chapter 716: Su Yuan Sells Pills |
"Seven Stars?" Xie Tingfeng looked around but couldn't find any trace of Su Yuan, feeling surprised in his heart.
"It's me. Don't bother looking—I'm on the First Frontline right now," Su Yuan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xie Tingfeng was stunned. "You've already gone to the First Frontline?"
"Yes. After I give you the pill, don't take it right away," Su Yuan said.
"Why?" Xie Tingfeng was taken aback.
"The First Frontline isn't what rumors make it out to be. Here, Chaos Dominators and Nothingness Dominators aren't opponents—instead, they're divided into three major factions, along with various other forces. Conflicts are frequent, and they refine human pills here. Someone like you, who just broke through from the Second Frontline, would be seen as prime material for human pills."
"If you really want to come, don't directly accept the teleportation—that's a trap. Head straight to the barrier between the Second Frontline and the First Frontline and come through from there."
"Oh, and by the way, the Nothingness Chaos is happening here now. It's dangerous. If you come, be careful, or bring some people along."
Xie Tingfeng was left completely dumbfounded.
Every part of Xie Tingfeng's body cried out with a desperate craving—a desire deep from the soul that was almost unbearable. Yet, relying on his immense willpower, he suppressed that instinct and solemnly put the pill away.
As for Zhou Hao, who was nearby, he felt nothing when he saw that pill—as if such a pill no longer had any effect on him.
Xie Tingfeng finally spoke. "Seven Stars, this pill is far too precious. Those forging materials aren't worth this pill."
"Just look after my disciple for me!"
Su Yuan's voice rang out again.
"Alright!" Xie Tingfeng nodded.
Su Yuan's voice fell silent, as if he had already left.
Xie Tingfeng let out a breath and turned to Zhou Hao, grinning joyfully. "Many thanks for your help, Brother Zhou Hao. I'm truly grateful."
Zhou Hao shook his head. "Speaker Xie, you have a friendship with my teacher. I didn't do anything heavy."
Xie Tingfeng laughed heartily and waved his hand, producing a set of equipment.
"This is a seventieth-tier Peerless-Grade Dominator Armor Set—the Indestructible War God Set! Take it as a thank-you gift!"
Zhou Hao was shocked. "This is too valuable!"
"What's the big deal? Take it!" Xie Tingfeng waved dismissively.
Zhou Hao didn't stand on ceremony either. He had heard Su Yuan's words and knew this guy had gotten a massive deal—taking a little something for himself was only fair.
He quickly stowed away the Dominator Artifacts and then took his leave.
Afterward, several Speakers materialized around Xie Tingfeng.
Ying Wenzheng also appeared and asked, "What's going on?"
Xie Tingfeng said calmly, "It was indeed a treasure given to them by their teacher—a pill that can raise your cultivation level and reshape your foundation. If you're interested, you can try to contact Fellow Daoist Seven Stars and see if you can buy one."
Reshape the foundation? Ying Wenzheng's eyes sharpened. "Did you already buy one?"
Xie Tingfeng smiled. "I have some connection with Fellow Daoist Seven Stars—he just gave it to me!"
The moment those words came out, everyone was stunned.
Many showed regret.
"I should have taken over the logistics department myself. What a missed opportunity!" the Fourth Speaker said helplessly.
"I never really had any rapport with Fellow Daoist Seven Stars before," the Sixth Speaker lamented regretfully.
Ying Wenzheng frowned. "How did you contact him?"
"It seems just calling his name works—if he's willing to respond, he can communicate," Xie Tingfeng said.
Ying Wenzheng tried calling out, "Fellow Daoist Seven Stars?"
Su Yuan's voice indeed rang out from thin air.
"What business does Speaker Ying have?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Ying Wenzheng spoke up. "I was wondering if I could purchase one of those pills?"
"Yes. One pill costs 1,000 mixed-void units. One mixed-void unit equals one thousand trillion Kalpa units. The price is fair, and delivery is included."
Su Yuan replied casually.
To him, every increase in strength for a True Name Star target brought him benefits.
So selling pills was also advantageous to him.
When everyone heard this, their eyes almost popped out of their heads—the price was way too expensive!
Ying Wenzheng fell silent as well. He seemed to check his contribution points and then spoke again, "Can I substitute with materials?"
"Yes!" Su Yuan said calmly.
"Good. I'll buy one!" Ying Wenzheng said firmly.
The others stared at him in shock. Was this guy embezzling? Right?
"What are you looking at me for? How many enemies have I killed? I've earned countless contribution points, and if that's not enough, I can liquidate some of my assets!"
Ying Wenzheng said calmly.
"Damn it!" the Second Speaker, Xiuming, cursed under his breath. He checked his savings—at most, he could scrape together 700 mixed-void units. Not enough!
Xiuming turned to Xie Tingfeng. "Brother Xie, can you lend me some?"
Xie Tingfeng was taken aback and then saw four pairs of eyes locked onto him like death.
His scalp tingled. "Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, will this pill be available for purchase later?"
"As long as there's stock. Just save up enough and call out my Dao name!"
Su Yuan said calmly.
Then, a pill materialized before Ying Wenzheng out of thin air.
Ying Wenzheng, in turn, handed over nearly all of his assets, barely managing to trade for this one pill.
Seeing the pill, he knew his breakthrough now had hope.
"By the way, I won't repeat the precautions. Old Xie, you can help fill them in. If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"
Su Yuan's voice faded away.
Ying Wenzheng stored the pill away at the fastest speed of his life.
Then he coughed. "Alright, everyone, if there's nothing, let's disperse!"
Xie Tingfeng slipped out immediately and went into hiding. Now four guys were after his fortune—it wasn't that he wouldn't lend, but who could he even lend to?
Meanwhile, Su Yuan was still catching Heaven Slaves to refine pills. With increasing skill, he could now produce fifteen pills per batch. He also discovered that if he didn't need top-tier effects, he could boost the pill count to nearly a hundred.
"With so many pills refined, I can't use them all myself. Why not find more buyers?"
Thinking this over, Su Yuan opened a special Seven Stars Shop in the malls of three thousand Second Frontlines—right in the shop that had previously run the trade-in business. He listed the Void Mixed Spirit Pill there for 1,000 mixed-void units as well.
This move immediately startled the Frontline's upper echelons. Everyone became intensely interested—the mysterious Seven Stars Shop was open for business again!
