#415 - First Hearing of Visitors from Outside the Territory

The Jupao Trading Company in the Ancient City of the Eastern Wilderness is the headquarters of all Jupao Trading Company branches in the entire Eastern Wilderness Continent.

The highest management here consists of the peak Sovereign Emperors of several hidden sects.

Even an ordinary steward has the cultivation of a Grandmaster Realm, and the chief steward is an early-stage Sovereign Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Jun Wuxie and the others received extremely good treatment here.

Several branch masters personally came forward to meet them, and then the chief steward arranged a small courtyard with a beautiful environment for them.

The chief steward was an old man who appeared to be about sixty years old, but his true age was unknown.

"Young Master Jun's name now shakes the world. It is an honor for this old man to receive you."

The chief steward's name was Ling Shan. He was from the Imperial Spirit Sect, a hidden sect in the Southern Border.

Although he spoke of honor, his seemingly cloudy eyes flashed with shrewdness.

"Chief Steward Ling Shan, let's skip the pleasantries," Jun Wuxie said, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. "To be honest, I want to buy some rare resources here. I wonder if your company has any Seven-Star Exquisite Grade or higher Life Blood Pills?"

"Young Master Jun wants Life Blood Pills?" Ling Shan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We do have Five-Star Grade Life Blood Pills, but we currently don't have Seven-Star Exquisite Grade Life Blood Pills. Life Blood Pills are too rare. They require the life blood essence of living beings as a medicinal primer, and the difficulty of refining them is extremely high, with a very low success rate…"

"When will you have them?"

"That's hard to say," Ling Shan shook his head and said. "Perhaps in a month, perhaps in a year? It's really hard to say. Seven-Star Exquisite Grade isn't considered a very high grade, and we often auction off Eight-Star items at our auctions, but Life Blood Pills are too special."

Jun Wuxie was silent. After a moment, he said, "Do you have any Lifebone Flowers, Flesh Spirit Fungus, or Life Springs with a purity of ten percent?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shan's facial muscles twitched violently, and he looked at him as if he were a monster.

Good heavens, he was asking for rare treasures that were hard to find in the world!

The lowest were all semi-Saint-level resources!

That Life Spring with a purity of ten percent was a genuine Saint-level resource!

"Young Master Jun, you're not trying to make fun of this old man, are you? These are all quasi-Saint-level and higher items! Don't even mention whether we have them or not, even if we did, countless people would be fighting to bid for them. I'm afraid Young Master doesn't have that kind of financial power!"

Ling Shan was a little displeased. This Young Master Jun was being too presumptuous.

Asking for quasi-Saint-level resources right off the bat, did he have the money to buy them?

What a joke?

Unless it was a quasi-Overlord-level or higher sect, it would be impossible to have that kind of financial power!

Jun Wuxie was silent.

It seemed that it would be impossible to obtain these things from a trading company.

"Young Master Jun, we don't have Life Springs with a purity of ten percent, but we do have some with a purity of seven percent, an Eight-Star Exquisite Grade! It will be put up for auction in a few days. If Young Master is confident in his financial power, you are welcome to participate in the auction at that time."

He said this, but he was somewhat unenthusiastic and didn't think that the young man in front of him could afford it.

Although this young man's name was now shaking the world, it didn't mean he had the financial power.

He even felt that the branch masters were wasting his time by having him personally receive Jun Wuxie.

"Oh?"

Jun Wuxie was immediately interested. He needed a large amount of Life Springs.

He had previously purchased a lot with a purity of five percent, but they were all used up in the Burial Corpse Ancient Land.

Now that he had come to the largest city in the Eastern Wilderness, he had to stock up properly and prepare all the resources he would need for a long time to come.

"Chief Steward Ling Shan, compared to Life Springs with a purity of five percent, how much difference is there in the effects of Life Springs with a purity of seven percent?"

"The difference is too great."

Ling Shan patiently explained that seven percent compared to five percent might seem like only two percent higher, but in reality, the effect was more than ten times stronger.

The higher the purity, the higher the grade, the purer the life energy contained within. It wasn't just a numerical difference, it was a fundamental difference.

"In addition to the Life Springs, there are also many good things this time, such as heaven and earth treasures that can cleanse the physical body, strengthen aptitude, and stimulate the body's potential. However, they can only be used during childhood. Young Master Jun may not be interested in this kind of thing, but those quasi-Overlord and Overlord-level forces covet them."

"By the way, there is also the Great Revitalizing Pill at this auction. For those below the Saint Realm, no matter how serious the injury, as long as they take one pill, they can maintain the flame of life for a period of time."

"Listening to you, I'm a little interested in this auction," Jun Wuxie said, taking out two seeds as bright and dazzling as condensed suns.

Ling Shan's pupils contracted violently, and he stood up abruptly!

His lips trembled as he pointed at the two seeds in Jun Wuxie's hand and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This is… this is the Fiery Sun Flower Seed?"

"Chief Steward Ling Shan has good eyes."

Jun Wuxie was very satisfied with his reaction.

"Young Master Jun," Ling Shan swallowed hard, looking at him expectantly. "Are you going to sell it?"

"Yes, I'm wondering whether to auction one seed at your Jupao Trading Company and one at the Qizhen Pavilion, or what. You should know that I have a close relationship with the higher-ups of the Bewitching Eye Clan, and it wouldn't be good to favor one over the other, would it?"

"No, Young Master Jun, you are mistaken!" Ling Shan had already lost his usual composure and shrewdness, and said excitedly, "Young Master's choice to auction both Fiery Sun Flower Seeds at my Jupao Trading Company is the best choice!"

"Young Master Jun, think about it. Although you have a good relationship with the higher-ups of the Bewitching Eye Clan, among the controllers of the Qizhen Pavilion, there are also people from the Sky Opening Sword Sect and the Central Province Holy Gate. Isn't Young Master afraid of leaking the news?"

"What am I afraid of?" Jun Wuxie said nonchalantly. "I've killed people from the Holy Gate, and the Sky Opening Sword Sect is even more so. So many Saint Realm experts died at the hands of my family's Military Saint sister."

"Young Master Jun, as the saying goes, it's better to avoid trouble than to cause it! Young Master Jun, how about this? You sell both Fiery Sun Flower Seeds at my Jupao Trading Company, and we will only charge you four percent commission!"

"Three percent!"

Jun Wuxie said.

Ling Shan's mouth twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!"

Jun Wuxie looked at his pained expression and was very contemptuous.

This old fox's eyelashes were all empty.

Although the commission was reduced to three percent, it seemed like he was giving him a big discount.

In fact, the commission they earned from the two Fiery Sun Flower Seeds would be more than the five percent commission they charged for auctioning one seed in the Ancient City of the Southern Region.

Besides, the price of this kind of Saint-grade resource was astronomical. Three percent was still several hundred billion spirit coins.

"That's not right. Chief Steward, shouldn't you upgrade my VIP level since I'm such a big customer?"

Ling Shan was stunned and said, "This matter will be discussed with the branch masters before giving Young Master an answer. Young Master Jun is already a Gold VIP. To upgrade further, even this old man doesn't have the authority to decide…"

"Alright."

Jun Wuxie didn't force it. He believed that the branch masters of the Jupao Trading Company would not disappoint him.

At this time, Ling Shan took out two boxes and carefully put away the Fiery Sun Flower Seeds.

Jun Wuxie slowly took out a several-meter-long Transformation Serpent skin.

An extremely strong energy fluctuation immediately overflowed from the Transformation Serpent skin.

Immediately, Ling Shan was so shocked that the box in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He had been in the Jupao Trading Company for so many years, and his vision was naturally extremely sharp.

He could tell at a glance how precious the snake skin in front of him was!

He trembled as he stroked it for a while, carefully looked at it, and his expression became more and more shocked. His eyes almost fell to the ground.

"Young Master Jun, is this the skin of an Eleventh-Order Ancient Remnant Transformation Serpent?"

"That's right, it is."

Ling Shan stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

Eleventh-Order, that was equivalent to the Saint Realm.

Moreover, an Ancient Remnant, Eleventh-Order, wasn't that a Beast King?

How did Jun Wuxie get it? This simply subverted his imagination!

Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, he asked uncertainly, "Young Master Jun, are you planning to auction off this Beast King Transformation Serpent's skin as well?"

"No, I'm not selling this. I want you to help me make some inner armor. I don't know if you have any weapon refiners in this area?"

"Yes! We must have them! It's just that the success rate may not be too high. This is an Eleventh-Order material. If it's used for weapon refinement, it must be used to refine Nine-Star Grade items. The success rate is estimated to be less than forty percent, and a lot of materials will be wasted!"

"It doesn't matter. Make as much inner armor as you can."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he took out the Transformation Serpent's sinews, bones, and fangs.

Ling Shan was so shocked that he sat down on the ground.

Good heavens, did he dissect the entire Beast King Transformation Serpent?

"The sinews and bones, refine them into two beautifully shaped bows that suit the aesthetics of women; four snake fangs, refine three into matching arrows, and one into a small needle. You can ask the branch master of the Medicine King Sect about the size and style of the needle, similar to the needles they use for treating diseases."

"Young Master Jun, don't worry, leave it to our Jupao Trading Company! However, the cost of this weapon refinement… after all, we have to add other auxiliary materials…"

"Easy to say, how about increasing the commission for the Fiery Sun Flower Seeds to five percent?"

"Really?"

Ling Shan was overjoyed.

"But there's one thing, all the materials I provide must be used to refine the things I need, and you can't embezzle them! Otherwise, I won't dare to cooperate with you in the future."

"Please rest assured, Young Master Jun, our Jupao Trading Company guarantees our reputation!"

Ling Shan put away all the items, feeling happy and elated, and prepared to leave.

He took a few steps, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "This old man remembered something. After thinking about it, I still think I should remind Young Master Jun. Recently, there have been some people with mysterious identities in our Ancient City of the Eastern Wilderness. According to our investigation, they are very likely from beyond the region. Young Master Jun, please be careful."

"Beyond the region?"

Jun Wuxie was shocked.

"Indeed, 'beyond the realm' refers to other ancient life stars in the starry sky. For countless ages, there have been no visitors from beyond the realm. Our understanding of these visitors is limited to sporadic records in the ancient books of our sect."

"I never imagined that recently, cultivators suspected of being from beyond the realm would appear. Ancient books record that every time cultivators from beyond the realm descend, they stir up the winds and clouds of the world. Historically, visitors from beyond the realm have caused the people of our ancient life star to suffer greatly!"

"By the way, those two young men who suddenly appeared to snatch Xiao Tianming are very likely to be warriors from beyond the realm."

"Understood, thank you for the reminder."

Jun Wuxie nodded.

Watching the spirit boat sail away, his heart was far from calm.

When he was still in Qingyang City, he enjoyed searching for ancient books to read.

He had seen mentions of cultivators from beyond the realm before, but they were all in unofficial histories and not to be trusted.

He didn't believe it at the time, thinking it was just a fabrication.

He never imagined that there really were warriors from beyond the realm!

If those two young men really came from beyond the realm, why would they want to snatch Xiao Tianming?

Could it be that the Xiao Clan has some connection to the realm beyond?
