Chapter 456: Chapter 42 Mysterious Dragon Soldiers_5

Spirit Beasts are sometimes easy to please, but they can be very troublesome at times.

“Oh well, consider it as settling our previous affairs.”

Li Xiangyun shook her head secretly, with a hint of pain in her heart.

The House of Prince Gao was wealthy and prosperous, but each person received only a small part of it.

Only recently, after she, the princess, had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, did she get access to more Spirit Stones in the mansion.

Yet, because she also had to maintain her Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, her expenses were extremely high.

However, she managed to squeeze out a smile: “Dear nephew, you’ve come to the right person!”

“Li Ji, go to the backyard and get a few drops of blood and essence from the Mixed Chi Horse.”

Through her spiritual sense, she quickly negotiated and agreed to several unreasonable demands from the Mixed Chi Horse in the backyard.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji happily ran off towards the backyard.

Watching him go, Li Xiangyun couldn’t help gritting her teeth in frustration.

This damned thing, is he closer to her, or to this Shen Fu?

Li Ji returned quickly, proudly presenting a white porcelain bottle to Wang Ba.

He boasted,

“Dear Shen, there are six drops inside. That should be enough, right?”

Li Xiangyun nearly dropped to the ground in exasperation.

This bastard!

I treasured you for nothing!

Li Ji was utterly clueless, and even appeared pleased.

At last, he could repay some debts!

However, Wang Ba felt a little embarrassed to be getting so much at once and looked towards Li Xiangyun:

“Master, isn’t this too much?”

Li Xiangyun felt her teeth grinding, but she had to keep a pleasant smile on her face.

“No problem, haha, not at all. Take them!”

Wang Ba awkwardly accepted the white porcelain bottle and then took out the Chicken Essence which he had yet to deliver to Huifeng Valley.

“Here are two hundred portions. If Master needs more, I can bring them in a few days.”

“That’s enough.”

Seeing Wang Ba taking out so much all at once, Li Xiangyun was somewhat surprised and gave him a second glance.

This Chicken Essence was selling like hot cakes at Yanqiao Pass.

Especially when the prices of various materials were skyrocketing, only the Chicken Essence remained stable.

That’s why she had heard about it too.

Taking out two hundred portions all at once, was equivalent to two hundred upper grade Spirit Stones.

Although she had agreed to the unreasonable demands of the Mixed Chi Horse, she didn’t need this much.

Once she did the math, it turned out she hadn’t lost anything, and even made a significant profit.

When she realized this, Li Xiangyun’s heart felt slightly at ease, and she even felt a little embarrassed.

It would make any Immortal Master of Nascent Soul looked bad if he were to take advantage of a Foundation Establishment Competitor.

Therefore, she quickly rewarded Wang Ba and Zhao Feng with plenty of cultivation resources.

The prices for these things were soaring in the market, but as they were stored in the Prince’s Mansion, they fell under regular supply.

After refusing several times, the two eventually had no choice but to accept and bid their farewell.

…

A few days later.

Yan Qing from Huifeng Valley came to find Wang Ba. As soon as they met, he eagerly asked:

“Dear Dao friend, do you have any more Chicken Essence?”

Wang Ba frowned slightly: “Isn’t it still a few days before our agreed date?”

Yan Qing replied helplessly:

“I can’t help it! It’s selling like crazy!”

“Everything in Yanqiao Pass has increased in price. Everyone is rushing to buy… no matter how expensive, they still buy!”

“Even a Class II Thunder Seed can sell for almost one hundred pieces!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba was taken aback.

How could the prices rise so quickly?

“It’s all because the region of Qiao State close to Wei State was suddenly attacked and captured by the Kingdom of Immortals a few days ago.”

Yan Qing sighed:

“This has caused a panic among many people, leading to a surge in prices.”

Wang Ba’s face clouded over: “Have any Immortal Masters of Nascent Soul fallen on the frontline?”

“No, Immortal Masters of Nascent Soul aren’t that easy to kill.”

Yan Qing shook his head.

Wang Ba let out a breath of relief.

He was still waiting for Tang Ji to return, and he certainly didn’t want to hear news of Tang Ji’s death out of the blue.

Without giving it much thought, Wang Ba immediately took out more than a hundred Chicken Essences.

Yan Qing didn’t delay either and promptly gave Wang Ba five hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones.

“This is…”

Wang Ba was taken aback.

“The master of the valley said that the situation is now different from before. Prices have risen and as long as you, Dao friend, continue to supply us, we can’t let you down. These five hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones, partially, are for the previous goods; we sold them at a high price and gave you your share. The rest is the profit-sharing according to the current market price.”

Yan Qing explained sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but look at the valley master, Zhu Rong, in a new light.

He knew very well that Zhu Rong’s intention was to secure his continuous supply by binding their interests together. However, he also had to admire Zhu Rong’s spirit to handle things seamlessly.

Wang Ba did not refuse and accepted the five hundred Spirit Stones.

Now, he needed these Spirit Stones to purchase spirit materials that can cultivate the Innate Spiritual Root and strengthen the Xiantian Qi and Blood, and naturally, he would not refuse.

Seeing Wang Ba accepting, Yan Qing let out a sigh of relief.

Given the situation right now, anywhere Master Shen goes, he can get a profit share that’s not lower than this price. They naturally had to do their best to keep Wang Ba here.

He quickly excused himself and left.

Watching Yan Qing’s retreating figure, Wang Ba fell into a brief contemplation.

Afterwards, he returned to his house.

Presently, he had dug a pond on the open land of his estate, with array flags densely planted around it.

It seemed that the arrival of Wang Ba had been sensed.

Under the calm water surface, numerous dark shadows suddenly started moving swiftly.

Many of the shadows couldn’t help but leap out of the water.

These dark-toned creatures, looking like ghosts, were the Spiritual Ghost Eels that Wang Ba had been breeding for years.

“Get down!”

With a low shout from Wang Ba, and a switch of his hand signs, the leaping Spiritual Ghost Eels were suddenly pushed back underwater.

At this moment, the three drops of Mixed Chi Horse blood and essence finally fell into the pond.

In an instant, there was a burst of bloody light within the pond!
