Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 1022 - 1019: An Unexpected Encounter
Hearing Elder Qian’s words, Luo Feng felt a stir in his heart. He hadn’t expected Yang Wanyi to expend so much effort on the matter of the saber technique secret manual. He thought to himself: Next time I see Waner, I must properly thank her.
The Red Blood Elder is a powerful figure close to the Yuan Sea Realm. With his personal authentication, there definitely wouldn’t be any mistakes. Having received the news of the secret manual, Luo Feng no longer had the mind to rest or eat, and eagerly said to Elder Qian:
"Elder Qian, there’s no time to lose, let’s go to the Business Alliance Hall now."
Elder Qian smiled and said, "Luo Feng, you don’t need to be in such a rush. The Red Blood Elder said that person will stay in Big Market City for a while."
"The longer the night, the more dreams occur; I hope to meet him as soon as possible."
Finally obtaining the news of the secret manual’s fragment, he naturally couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
"Alright then."
Elder Qian could understand Luo Feng’s feelings and nodded.
"Young Master, Zi Ling will go with you."
Zi Ling spoke up.
Luo Feng shook his head, reached out and gently ruffled Zi Ling’s soft hair, smilingly said, "Zi Ling, it’s exhausting to travel long distances, take a good rest at home. I’ll be back soon."
Beside him, Xiao Sang frowned slightly and said:
"Young Master, purchasing the secret manual requires quite a number of Yuan Stones. Do you need me to bring out the stored Yuan Stones?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ying looked at the storage ring on her hand, smiled bitterly, and didn’t speak.
Her entire wealth didn’t amount to a thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. For purchasing high-level martial arts secret manuals, this amount of Yuan Stones is but a drop in the bucket. Although she wanted to help, she was powerless to assist.
Luo Feng smiled lightly, "No need, the Yuan Stones on me should be enough."
Although he had taken out a lot of wealth to give to his father Luotian, the remaining wealth on him was roughly eight hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.
A complete lower earth-grade martial arts secret manual is only worth one or two million second-grade Yuan Stones, and fragments would be much cheaper.
"Let’s go."
After bidding farewell to the group, Luo Feng immediately left Tianlin Mansion with Elder Qian and headed towards the Business Alliance Hall.
Big Market City was as prosperous as ever, with broad streets where pedestrians flowed like shuttles. The constant sound of hawking rang out, mixed with fierce bargaining voices.
On both sides of the street, vendors displayed various goods, including demon cores, spiritual medicine, and all sorts of bizarre items. Some spirit weapons and armor still had blood stains on them, revealing the tragic fate of their previous owners.
Big Market City gathered a variety of goods from all corners of the world. As Luo Feng chatted casually with Elder Qian, his gaze wandered over the vendors on both sides, looking to see if there was anything he needed.
While passing a street, a guard from Dayang Commerce Alliance suddenly approached quickly.
"Elder Qian, Qin Lin from the Long Cloud Business Group requests to meet you," the young guard said as he came forward.
"Qin Lin, he’s actually come to Big Market City..."
Elder Qian frowned slightly, glanced at Luo Feng, and seemed a bit hesitant.
Luo Feng noticed Elder Qian’s dilemma and smiled:
"Elder Qian, I can go to the Business Alliance Hall and find the Red Blood Elder myself."
"Alright, then I must excuse myself."
The Long Cloud Business Group Qin Lin represents is one of the notable trading groups of the Dali Dynasty, and has a significant cooperative relationship with Dayang Commerce Alliance, so they cannot be neglected.
After bidding farewell, Elder Qian and the young guard hurriedly turned and left.
Watching Elder Qian leave, Luo Feng walked alone towards the Business Alliance Hall.
As he got closer to the Business Alliance Hall, the surrounding population density gradually increased, nearly reaching the point of shoulder brushing.
Oh!
Sweeping his gaze casually through the crowd, Luo Feng suddenly noticed a familiar tall figure at a vendor stall, and immediately walked over.
In front of the vendor stall, stood a cold young girl in a red dress, playing with a crimson bracelet.
The bracelet was engraved with a phoenix feather design, looking very light, but it emitted a striking wave of Fire Yuan Qi.
Wearing the bracelet on her wrist, the fully crimson bracelet radiated a faint red light, making the snow-white wrist appear crystal-like and beautiful, adding a layer of enchanting charm to the girl’s stunning face.
Under the golden sunlight, the girl glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, and a satisfied smile appeared in her bright eyes.
The vendor stall owner was a plump middle-aged woman who smiled upon seeing this, "This phoenix feather bracelet matches the young miss well."
The girl took off the bracelet and asked, "How many Yuan Stones for this bracelet?"
The middle-aged woman said, "Eighty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."
Eighty thousand...
The girl touched her storage ring lightly with her finger, pursed her lips, glanced at the phoenix feather bracelet, and calmly placed the bracelet back on the stall, apologetically smiling at the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman hadn’t sold a single item today and didn’t want to lose her only customer, so she pursed her red lips and said:
"Miss, this phoenix feather bracelet is made from Blood Spirit Cloud Jade, with a bit of the blood essence of a ninth-level demon beast, the Extreme Fire Demon Eagle, integrated by an artifact refiner. It can transform ordinary people, prolong life, and even provides excellent tempering effects for martial artists. Alright, I’ll offer a final price of seventy thousand second-grade Yuan Stones—a bottom price."
The girl showed a slight bitter smile on her face, "Sorry, I don’t have that many Yuan Stones with me right now."
"This is seventy thousand second-grade Yuan Stones."
Just as the girl was about to leave, she heard a familiar voice beside her, causing her eyebrows to tremble slightly. She turned her head to look aside, and surprisedly noticed the appearance of the person coming:
"Luo Feng, it’s you!"
Luo Feng nodded with a smile, "Lin Hongyi, I didn’t expect to meet you here."
The red-dressed girl in front of him was ’Red-dusted Vajra’ Lin Hongyi, a disciple of Yuangang Hall.
Lin Hongyi smiled, "I didn’t expect it either."
At this moment, Luo Feng had already paid seventy thousand second-grade Yuan Stones to the middle-aged woman, and then directly handed the jade bracelet to Lin Hongyi.
"Here you go."
Looking at the bracelet, Lin Hongyi paused, somewhat hesitating, "This is for me?"
Luo Feng smiled, "I think the bracelet suits you."
"Then consider it as me borrowing it from you."
Lin Hongyi liked the phoenix feather bracelet very much, especially since it could help martial artists temper their bodies, which was beneficial to her cultivation. She really didn’t want to miss it.
"Seventy thousand second-grade Yuan Stones are nothing, don’t worry about it, unless you don’t consider me a friend." Luo Feng lightly smiled, not paying much attention.
For him, seventy thousand second-grade Yuan Stones were just a small amount.
Not to mention the enormous wealth he possessed, just the daily entry and exit fees at the City Lord Mansion of Big Market City alone brought in thirty to fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones a day, accumulating over time, creating an astonishing amount of wealth.
Moreover, he greatly admired Lin Hongyi’s genuine personality. During the hunting conference before, he and Lin Hongyi, along with several other experts on the New Dragon Ranking, besieged the half-step great Asura. Lin Hongyi even saved him once at a critical moment, and when the benefits of slaying the great Asura were all taken by him, she didn’t have any complaints.
Lin Hongyi shifted her gaze, immediately put the bracelet on her wrist, glanced at it, and expressed a satisfied look in her bright eyes, smiling:
"Thank you then."
Her personality matched her cultivation technique—natural and straightforward, without any awkwardness.
