Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 341 Conflict

The shopkeeper at Myriad Spirit Pavilion had long since become accustomed to such displays of power.

He gave a slight bow, his head large and round like a pig’s, and said apologetically to Qinchuan, "I’m sorry, young master, but I cannot sell you this Blood Stone Grass for the time being."

"At Myriad Spirit Pavilion, the price of Spiritual Medicine is always clearly marked. However, if the same herb is coveted by multiple customers, it then becomes a matter of acquiring it based on one’s strength."

Upon hearing this, the Dongfang Family members’ faces, which had been filled with despair, suddenly lit up with hope as they asked, "On what strength must we rely?"

The rotund shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Since it is the acquisition of Spiritual Medicine, strength here naturally refers to your financial capability. Whoever is willing to pay the highest price shall get the medicine."

The flicker of hope that had just appeared on the faces of the Dongfang Family members was instantly extinguished.

In terms of financial resources, if it were any ordinary noble house, the Dongfang Family might not be inferior. But when facing the Taiyuan Royal Family, even ten Dongfang Families would not equal a fraction of their wealth.

One fair-skinned cultivator from the Dongfang Family immediately stepped forward and said, "This Blood Stone Grass is priced at one hundred thousand Mysterious Crystals, we’ll offer two hundred thousand Mysterious Crystals to buy it!"

The people of the Dongfang Family echoed in agreement, saying, "Yes, we offer two hundred thousand Mysterious Crystals!"

This person was the first to quote a price. The Taiyuan Royal Family was rich, and the Dongfang Family could not compete. The crowd could only hope that the Eldest Prince did not carry enough Mysterious Crystals on him at that moment.

Moreover, the price of the Blood Stone Grass was only one hundred thousand, and they had doubled the price, showing their sincerity.

But the thoughts of the crowd were doomed to be in vain. Fu Xi also stepped forward, looking down on the members of the Dongfang Family with disdain, and said arrogantly, "Competing in financial resources? How dare you lowly mixed vein disciples even think about competing with this prince? I bid two million Mysterious Crystals for it!"

"What!?"

"Two million Mysterious Crystals!"

The Dongfang Family members each stiffened, staring at Fu Xi dumbfounded, then shook their heads in disbelief.

"The Eldest Prince must be crazy to spend two million Mysterious Crystals on a Blood Stone Grass!"

This price was well beyond what the crowd could afford.

By offering two million Mysterious Crystals for a Blood Stone Grass, the Eldest Prince was clearly sending a message to everyone.

It was as if he was saying, "This prince has plenty of Mysterious Crystals, you ants, what can you compare with me?"

With a single bid, the Eldest Prince raised the price tenfold above what the Dongfang Family members had offered, clearly determined to obtain that Blood Stone Grass.

Not only the Dongfang Family, but even the chubby-eared shopkeeper was taken aback, seemingly unable to believe his own ears.

Although the Blood Stone Grass was precious, the highest price it could possibly fetch was a hundred and fifty thousand Mysterious Crystals. The shopkeeper thought the two hundred thousand Mysterious Crystals bid by the Dongfang Family was already a considerable profit, never expecting this big spender to offer a staggering two million.

At this moment, his chubby hands began to tremble, barely able to keep a steady grip on the Spiritual Medicine.

He looked at the Dongfang Family and Qinchuan shakily and asked, "This young master has bid two million. Does anyone else have a higher offer?"

Qinchuan smiled, unfazed, and cast a dismissive glance at Fu Xi, full of contempt as he said, "Two million and you think you can compete with this young master for items? For this Blood Stone Grass, I bid four million."

"Four… four million…"

The Dongfang Family members gasped in shock once more.

Stunned, they turned their gaze to Qinchuan.

Eldest Prince Fu Xi’s bid of two million for a stalk of Blood Stone Grass had seemed extravagant enough, but then this youth standing before them had once again doubled the price, as if four million Mysterious Crystals were no more than a pile of manure in his eyes.

Even Fu Xi, who had previously appeared invincible, showed a flicker of emotion on his face, looking at Qinchuan with surprise and uncertainty.

He couldn’t understand how this seemingly insignificant youngster, a mere Meridian Opening Realm cultivator whom he had never met or provoked, had suddenly popped up to oppose him.

Moreover, judging by the looks of this youth, he didn’t seem like someone who could produce four million Mysterious Crystals.

At that moment, Fu Xi abruptly spoke out in a provocative tone, "You are just a lowly Meridian Opening Realm cultivator; you simply can’t produce four million Mysterious Crystals. Are you here to cause trouble?"

After finishing his sentence, he then turned with a hateful expression towards the manager of the Myriad Spirit Pavilion and shouted, "This brat is just here to make trouble. Why haven’t you thrown him out yet?"

The plump manager of Myriad Spirit Pavilion had also snapped back to reality at this time, staring at Qinchuan with a similarly puzzled expression.

His face wasn’t looking too pleasant, full of indecipherable changes and even a hint of belief. He, too, found it hard to believe that Qinchuan could produce four million Mysterious Crystals, a not insignificant amount. Even many saints couldn’t come up with so many crystals in a short time, let alone Qinchuan, who was only a cultivator of the Meridian Opening Realm.

But since Myriad Spirit Pavilion was in business, they wouldn’t turn on someone just because of a few instigating words from Fu Xi.

With a tense face and an unfriendly gaze fixed on Qinchuan, he said, "Young master, in light of your exceedingly high bid, our pavilion now wishes to verify your financial capacity."

Qinchuan gave the portly manager a sidelong glance, scoffing disdainfully, "A mere four million Mysterious Crystals—do you really think I couldn’t produce such an amount?"

And just then, a hearty voice suddenly rang out from the end of the street.

"No need for verification, I will cover Young Master Qin’s four million," declared the voice.

Following that, a youth clad in white with an elegant demeanor strode forward, accompanied by a limping old man exuding the air of a reclusive expert.

The newcomer was none other than the Tianyuan Eldest Prince, Li Zhi.

Li Zhi’s sudden arrival shocked everyone present, but what surprised them even more were the words he had just spoken.

He had voluntarily chosen to pay the four million Mysterious Crystals on behalf of Qinchuan.

Of course, the manager of the Myriad Spirit Pavilion recognized Eldest Prince Li Zhi. Seeing him take a stand for Qinchuan, he immediately realized that Qinchuan’s identity was not simple, and with the Eldest Prince vouching for him, the deal was as good as done.

"Li Zhi—"

Fu Xi’s gaze burned bright as he stared at Li Zhi, fury smoldering in his eyes as if wanting to devour him.

He spoke in a chilling tone, enunciating every word deliberately.

"What is the meaning of this? Does the Tianyuan Royal Family really want to oppose our Taiyuan line? Have you considered the consequences this will bring?"

"Consequences?"

"What consequences?"

Li Zhi feigned ignorance, his face still adorned with his signature gentle smile, as radiant as if bathed in the spring breeze, elegant and scholarly.

"Prince Fu, you are mistaken. I owed Young Master Qin quite a few favors in the past; seeing that he wishes to purchase some Spiritual Medicine, it was nothing more than a happenstance that I helped him settle the bill as repayment for those favors," he said.

"How does it become me opposing the Taiyuan Royal Family in Prince Fu’s words? I truly fail to understand this logic."

Speaking to this point, Li Zhi put on a pretense of sudden realization, exclaiming, "Ah, I understand now. Could it be that Prince Fu is short on Mysterious Crystals?" Stay tuned for updates on novelbuddy
