Chapter 49 A Bountiful Harvest
Chapter 49 A Bountiful Harvest
The last great emperor of the post-ancient era, the Azure Emperor, passed away four thousand years ago.
After the death of the Azure Emperor, his Great Dao completely suppressed the universe, making the environment for cultivating immortality increasingly harsh.
Before the Green Emperor passed away, about five thousand years ago, there existed a small golden age.
Knowing his days were numbered, the Azure Emperor often preached, cultivating the last batch of demon saints for the Demon Court.
Saints have a lifespan of six thousand years, and the Demon Court Saints, who generally attain sainthood at one or two thousand years old, are now all nearing their end.
The probing war launched by the Demon Court a month ago was not only triggered by the destruction of the Tianxuan Holy Land, but also by the fact that the Demon Saints were nearing the end of their lives.
This is the prevailing atmosphere in the world of Shrouding the Heavens: the older generation, whose lifespans are nearing their end, are all incredibly reckless, constantly spouting phrases like "at worst, we'll just sink the Central Plains."
Of course, this is when there is truly no way to turn the tide. As long as there is still hope of survival, the old folks naturally wouldn't want to die.
Just like now, when the news of Qin Feng cutting out the 'Earth Fate Fruit' spread, the older generation of various forces couldn't sit still.
The Demon Court even sent a powerful Demon King to offer an astronomical price of 700,000 catties of Origin. Even the real divine medicine and Earth Fate Fruit would probably not be worth more than that.
It is conceivable that the Demon Court is determined to obtain this Lesser Earthly Fate Fruit, and its purpose must be to prolong the life of a certain Demon Saint.
"Boy, hurry up and bring over this strange object," the powerful Kui Niu tribe member with two horns on his head ordered imperiously.
The sheer scale of the shipment—700,000 jin of raw materials—stunned everyone present.
Among them, Ouyang Feng, Jiuxiao Saint Son, and Dayan Saint Son had the greenest faces.
If the deal is actually completed at this price, each of them will have to pay nearly 170,000 jin of raw materials, which is an unbearable pain for them.
Just thinking about it makes me dizzy and my legs tremble uncontrollably.
regret.
Now I regret it.
They're really just wasting their time getting angry with a country bumpkin.
Just when the Holy Son of Dayan and others felt that life was hopeless, their lives took an unexpected turn for the better.
"I'm sorry, senior demon, you're too late. I've already decided to do this business with the Jade Pool Holy Land."
As he spoke, Qin Feng casually handed the Small Earth Life Fruit, worth hundreds of thousands of kilograms, to the large Yaochi Saintess.
Are you kidding me? Between the demon race and Yaochi, is there even a question?
Even a fool would never think that Qin Feng would aid the enemy.
Yao Yiyi: "Hmm?"
She had just prepared herself to raise the price again, but unexpectedly...
The onlookers at the scene were also taken aback.
"Between 500,000 and 700,000, they actually chose 500,000?"
"Has that young Taoist priest lost his mind?"
"That's a price difference of a full 200,000 jin!"
"No! If you include the betting, it's a full four hundred thousand!"
Even relatively wealthy older generations would be envious of 400,000 jin of source material, but Qin Feng made his choice without even blinking.
"The price difference of 400,000 is certainly tempting, but if it were me, I would also make this deal with Yaochi," said Jiang Jiajie. "After all, the Demon Court has always been domineering and has no credibility. A verbal promise of 700,000 might end up with nothing. In comparison, the credibility of Yaochi Holy Land is unquestionable."
Upon hearing this, everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
At this moment, apart from the Holy Maiden of Yaochi who obtained the Lesser Earth Life Fruit.
The group of four, led by Ouyang Feng, were the most excited about the result.
Qin Feng's choice to trade with Yaochi was equivalent to reducing each of them's external debt by 50,000 jin of resources.
At this moment, the gazes of the Great Yan Holy Son and others towards Qin Feng even held a hint of gratitude.
[Xiao Yan: Pfft... Hahaha, look at the expressions on those troublemaking Holy Sons' faces, it's hilarious.]
[Wang Xuan: Old Qin won hundreds of thousands of jin from them, and in the end they still had to thank Old Qin for his generosity.]
[Lu Mingfei: Wow, this development is simply amazing!]
[Luo Feng: I originally thought that after becoming a martial artist, my earning ability would be pretty good, but I never expected that it would be less than what the group leader could casually do.]
[Lu Mingfei: Oh my god, that minotaur is in red-hot mode.]
moo~
The deep roar of the raging bull resounded, and the substantial sound waves spread throughout the Tianzi Stone Garden.
"The Kui Niu tribe, that's enough."
The old Taoist priest in charge of guarding the stone garden shouted, using sound to counter sound waves.
"You brat, die!"
The powerful Kui Niu was still unwilling to give up, and stretched out his palm, as big as a millstone, and attacked without any scruples.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi snorted coldly and struck out with her slender white hand, repelling the powerful Kui Niu clan member.
"Rise!!!" The old Taoist priest from Dao Yi Holy Land waved his hand, and in an instant, array patterns spread. "Demon Court, do not push your luck."
"Alright, alright, we'll see."
Knowing he was no match for the powerful Kui Niu, he uttered some harsh words and immediately turned away in a huff.
"On behalf of Yaochi, I declare that Daoist Youde is an honored guest of Yaochi. If anyone wants to overstep his bounds, he must first pass through Yaochi."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke with resounding conviction, determined to stand up for Qin Feng.
Putting aside the kindness of the Little Earth Life Fruit, Qin Feng's inheritance from the Source Celestial Master alone makes him worthy of their friendship.
If anything happens to those stones in Yaochi in the future, we might have to ask Qin Feng for help.
"Young Daoist Youde, I know that purchasing 500,000 jin of this item has caused you a loss. Therefore, I have decided to make a promise to you in the name of Yaochi. As long as it does not violate morality, Yaochi will do its best to fulfill it within its capabilities." Yaochi Holy Maiden solemnly said.
[Xiao Yan: Holy crap, is this for real?]
[Luo Feng: Could it be that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi realized that Youde was actually the group leader in disguise?]
[Wang Xuan: No, the Heavenly Book's earth-shattering technique is not easily deciphered. This is Yaochi investing and cultivating a good relationship.]
[Lu Mingfei: My goodness, if it doesn't violate morality, group leader, why don't you just propose marrying the Little Saintess of Yaochi? You two are already having an affair anyway.]
[Xiao Yan: Oh, that's great, a good idea.]
It wasn't just the group members making a fuss.
"Senior Holy Maiden of Yaochi, if you do your best to fulfill all her requests, would you agree if Daoist Youde wanted to marry your Holy Maiden?" Jiang Chengfeng, a member of the Jiang family with a roguish air, shouted, never one to be outrageous.
Before the Holy Maiden of Yaochi could say anything, Yao Xiaoqi jumped out first: "Pah, Jiang Chengfeng, stop talking nonsense here. If you want to marry, then marry him."
"I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. I do have a request to make." Qin Feng ignored the bickering between Yao Xiaoqi and Jiang Chengfeng and secretly transmitted his voice to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on the beautiful face of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. Finally, she nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Qin Feng felt much more at ease.
During his time in the Holy City, Qin Feng secretly investigated, trying to find a well-regarded and influential figure to endorse him and act as his backer.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi on the second level of Sendai is definitely the only person Qin Feng can trust.
With a powerful backer, Qin Feng had no more reservations and walked towards Ouyang Feng and his companions with a beaming smile.
"Five hundred thousand catties, after deducting the amethyst source, there's still four hundred and seventy thousand left. How do you all plan to pay?"
"you……"
The expressions on Ouyang Feng and his three companions' faces changed like chameleons.
"Hey hey hey, you're all holy sons of holy lands and heirs of noble families, you're not trying to renege on your debts, are you?" Jiang Chengfeng shouted.
"A bet is a bet, and we will not renege on our debt." The three holy sons and Ouyang Feng and his companions scraped together what they could, but in the end, they could only gather 120,000 jin.
With no other option, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, they couldn't very well renege on their debt, so they had no choice but to write an IOU in a humiliating manner.
Of course, writing an IOU is one thing, but whether you can actually accept it depends on your skills.
The Holy Son of Dayan and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with cold smiles.
If Qin Feng really dares to come to collect the debt, he will definitely not leave alive.
Their imaginations were beautiful, but Qin Feng simply didn't play by the rules.
"Distinguished seniors and fellow practitioners, it's a rare occasion to have such a lively gathering today. I have an announcement to make."
Qin Feng spoke loudly.
"I grew up in the countryside and was fortunate enough to learn some basic Yuan techniques. I came here because I longed to visit the Holy City. I have longed to visit the top-ranked stone gardens of the Holy City's major stone workshops. I decided to start with these three IOUs today."
Upon hearing this, the vast Dao Yi Stone Archway fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a deafening clamor.
