The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 538 - 535: Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique

"The Life Book indicates that to repair the incomplete Seventh-grade Spiritual Technique, it will cost 50 Heaven-defying Value."

Moments later, there was a response from the Heaven-defying Book.

Heaven-defying Value... that’s truly expensive.

These past few days, she had not received a substantial amount of Heaven-defying Value as income; only expenditures, leaving her with only 359 points of Heaven-defying Value on the books.

Xin Lin felt like crying. Thinking of the value of Qi Stones, she gritted her teeth and made the deduction.

The 359 Heaven-defying Value immediately dropped to 309 Heaven-defying Value.

The Dan Wood Furnace silently sucked in the bamboo slip.

While the Dan Wood Furnace was busy refining, Xin Lin looked back.

Since she was cloaked by night, almost no one noticed her actions.

As for Jiang Qing, he was standing in the distance with Bai You and Sikong Ran, apparently discussing something, and did not pay attention to the commotion on her end.

Xin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, keeping an eye on the reactions of the Dan Wood Furnace in her arms.

At that end, Jiang Qing and Bai You were having an unpleasant dispute over the matter of Qi Stones.

On Bai You’s face, covered by a veil, a few shades of annoyance had appeared.

"Master Jiang, by putting the Qi Stones up for auction here, I am showing respect to the Black Brilliance Market. All you do is take a ten percent commission without lifting a finger, which seems a bit excessive. I am merely asking you to reduce the fee by half, which would not amount to much of a loss for the Black Brilliance Market."

Bai You brought a hundred Intermediate Qi Stones this time, and she surely felt it was a significant deal, inevitably carrying herself with a slight air of arrogance.

Although the Black Brilliance Market wielded some influence, sitting in a place like Purple Cloud City, Jiang Qing probably wasn’t anyone important within Black Brilliance Castle, so Bai You spoke with a trace of disrespect.

Jiang Qing’s refined face did not show the slightest displeasure.

"Miss Bai, the fees of the Black Brilliance Market are always fair, and we charge ten percent of all transactions for anyone here. If the Xuantian Sect is unwilling, you are free to transact elsewhere. I will have no objections whatsoever."

"Are you trying to drive me away with those words?"

Bai You’s haughty temper flared up again.

"Youyou, do not be rude. Hall Master Jiang, Youyou means no disrespect. Having come to the Black Brilliance Market, we naturally abide by its rules."

Sikong Ran signaled with a glance, hinting to Bai You not to say more.

Although the Black Brilliance Market has high fees, the clientele and sellers it attracts are the most abundant, and the payments later on will not be an issue.

If they left this place, it was uncertain whether they would find big buyers.

Bai You snorted, restraining herself for Sikong Ran’s sake.

"Since Miss Bai and Young Master Sikong have no objections, the auction will begin shortly. Please have the Qi Stones ready."

Jiang Qing continued to be the epitome of civilized conversation, his words impeccable.

He glanced in Xin Lin’s direction from the corner of his eye.

That Lord Dominator had been completely still since the beginning.

If it wasn’t for the fact that his aura was still present, Jiang Qing would have thought he had left.

Aside from purchasing a few Qi Stones, the Lord Dominator had not yet made a real move.

Jiang Qing couldn’t figure out his real purpose for coming to the Black Brilliance Market.

Xin Lin anxiously watched the Dan Wood Furnace. After a short while, there was a ding in her mind.

Xin Lin knew the Qi-gathering Skill inside the Dan Wood Furnace had been successfully repaired.

She couldn’t wait and opened the Dan Wood Furnace.

A brand-new bamboo slip came into view.

Xin Lin was overjoyed—the repair was successful.

She looked closely, and a few words on the bamboo slip caught her eye.

"Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique."

It was still a Qi-gathering Skill, it just had the words "Five Elements" added. Xin Lin instantly read through the mnemonic on the bamboo slip and memorized it in her heart.
