Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 377 - 125: Getting Prepared!

Then, Zhou Xun left the Cave Mansion, altered his face, and went out!

The White Jade Tower is one of the three major commercial associations in Tianhan City, with the backing of the largest major Sect in Zhao Country - the Inference Dao Sect.

With such a Sect backing it, the strength of the White Jade Tower is self-evident.

Following the main road down, one arrives at the twenty-seventh floor, where the White Jade Tower is located.

The White Jade Tower, though called a ’tower’, is actually a complex of buildings.

The tallest main building is actually the trading shop.

Zhou Xun arrived at the entrance and stepped inside.

The first floor was extraordinarily spacious, at least several dozen feet in size.

Seeing Zhou Xun enter, a young boy dressed in blue, looking like a servant, came up with clasped hands, greeting:

"Greetings, Senior. May I ask what treasures Senior is looking to purchase?"

"Take me to your shopkeeper!"

Zhou Xun said indifferently, and then released the aura of his Core Formation Stage mana.

Sensing this aura, the entire first floor instantly fell silent.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward him, and then they all bowed in salutation.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and a force instantly lifted everyone to their feet.

At this moment, a middle-aged man, dressed as a shopkeeper, quickly walked over to Zhou Xun, bowing all the way to the ground, and clasped his hands in greeting:

"Junior Liu Chengren, humbly serving as the shopkeeper of the White Jade Tower, pays respects to Senior!"

"It’s truly a fault of mine not to have welcomed you from afar, Senior!"

"No need for concern!" Zhou Xun said calmly.

"Please, Senior, follow me to the elegant room to sit. The tower has excellent Spirit Tea for you to taste!" he said, leading Zhou Xun to the fifth floor.

After Zhou Xun sat down, the middle-aged shopkeeper poured a pot of Spirit Tea.

"Please, Senior, enjoy!"

He presented the Spirit Tea to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun took it and sipped softly, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth.

"Please wait a moment, Senior, I have already reported to the Grand Elder of the tower!" Having said that, he clasped his hands and then turned to leave.

After about the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, light footsteps sounded from outside the door, and then a figure appeared at the entrance.

This man in a blue shirt, wearing a High Crown, with a red face and long beard, looked to be around forty or so.

Zhou Xun swept his Divine Sense, Fake Pill Cultivation!

"Junior Fanx Juheng, pays respects to Senior!"

The middle-aged man smiled and clasped his hands in greeting to Zhou Xun.

"No need for formalities, Daoist. We haven’t both formed our cores yet, so let’s address each other as peers!" Zhou Xun clasped his hands in return.

The middle-aged man sat down next to Zhou Xun on the right:

"My humble self is Fanx Mou, please enlighten me with your name, Daoist."

"Wang Teng is my name!"

"Ah, so it’s Daoist Wang, may I ask what brings you to our White Jade Tower?"

"My purpose here is naturally for a transaction!"

Zhou Xun said, patting his waist; a Spirit Light flickered, falling before the table, transforming into a palm-sized cyan shield.

"This is... a Magical Treasure!"

The middle-aged man saw it and showed a full face of surprise.

"Is Daoist planning to sell this Magical Treasure?"

"Indeed, I intend to sell this treasure. Is there interest in acquiring it?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Magical Treasures are precious, and of course, our White Jade Tower is interested in acquiring them, let alone a Defense Magical Treasure!"

The middle-aged man spoke, unable to hide some eagerness.

He, too, was a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, yet he had only one Attack Treasure thus far, and had long desired a Defense Magical Treasure.

Unfortunately, even though the Inference Dao Sect was powerful, Fake Pill Cultivators were numerous.

Naturally, there weren’t enough Magical Treasures to go around.

That he managed to possess even one was already quite exceptional.

After pondering for a moment, he clasped his hands toward Zhou Xun and said:

"May I know how many Spirit Stones Daoist wishes to sell it for?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun raised his right hand and made a gesture with seven fingers!

"Seventy thousand Spirit Stones, quite reasonable!" The middle-aged man nodded.

"I truly like this Magical Treasure, and I personally am willing to purchase it for seventy-two thousand Spirit Stones, but please, Daoist, keep it quiet!"

The middle-aged man glanced around and then whispered softly.

He wished to buy it personally.

However, such actions were taboo according to the White Jade Tower’s rules!

Zhou Xun naturally had no objections to this, as gaining an extra two thousand Spirit Stones was quite welcome!

"As long as the Spirit Stones are sufficient, who I sell it to doesn’t concern me!" Zhou Xun remarked calmly.

"Very well!" The middle-aged man immediately took out seventy-two High-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Zhou Xun.

Then he picked up the shield, seemingly unable to part with it.

Seventy-two thousand Spirit Stones, which the middle-aged man handed over without hesitation, indicated that he had been exploiting his Grand Elder position here at the White Jade Tower quite profitably.

"Speaking of which, I have two more Magical Treasures for sale. Is Daoist able to purchase them?"

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"More!"

The middle-aged man was greatly surprised, and a sense of reverence arose in him.

"Could it be that the person before me is a Tribulation Cultivator!"

After all, to take out so many Magical Treasures for sale at once, he couldn’t be a decent person.

Except for spoils of war, who would be willing to part with three items at once!

Even the head of a Major Sect wouldn’t squander like this!

Because Spirit Stones are easy to obtain, but Magical Treasures are hard to find!

But he was currently in the White Jade Tower, so the person’s identity didn’t concern him!

So, he smiled and said:

"Of course, we want them. Please, Daoist, take them out for viewing!"

Without delay, Zhou Xun brought out the Cyan Gold Claw and Flying Knife.

The middle-aged man looked over them and then paid sixty-seven thousand Spirit Stones to acquire these two Magical Treasures.

Notably, the Cyan Gold Claw was purchased by the man in a private capacity!

On this outing, Zhou Xun exchanged for nearly one hundred and forty High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Then, Zhou Xun went to the other two commercial associations in the city, selling three more Magical Treasures.

In total, he amassed two hundred and seventy-six High-Grade Spirit Stones, adding to what he originally possessed, reaching nearly five hundred in total!

At this point, his wealth was comparable to those ancestors of the major sects!

Returning to the thirty-third floor, Zhou Xun headed straight to the Cave Mansion of Master Nanyue.

"Greetings to Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue!" Zhou Xun clasped his hands in greeting!

"Ah, it’s Zhou Xun, do you have some important matter with me, Elder?"

When Zhou Xun visited, Master Nanyue naturally welcomed him warmly, smiling as he inquired.

"I wish to have you craft a set of Tier Three Middle-Grade Trapping and Killing Array for me, Junior Martial Uncle!"

Without much small talk, Zhou Xun directly expressed his purpose.

The Tier Three Middle-Grade Trapping and Killing Array, generally speaking, even a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, once caught inside, would find it challenging to escape.

Zhou Xun was preparing this array to deal with Feng Yuee.

With this array, along with Zhou Xun’s Celestial Spirit Talisman Array, Purple Sky True Thunder Array, and Blood Demon Child’s Late-Stage Magical Combat techniques!

Even if Feng Yuee was truly a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, he wouldn’t be Zhou Xun’s match!

Moreover, Zhou Xun didn’t intend to stop there; he planned to make further preparations.

For instance, Tier Three High-Grade Talismans and others!

For as it is said, even a lion uses all its might to hunt a rabbit, let alone dealing with an outsider Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator!

"Trapping and Killing Array!" Master Nanyue inquired with curiosity.

"Indeed,"

"You have come at a convenient time?"

Master Nanyue smiled, patted his Storage Bag, and retrieved a set of arrays.

"This is the ’Ice and Fire Cloud Array’, a Tier Three Middle-Grade Trapping and Killing Array, and it has stealth capabilities. An ordinary Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator could fall and perish without a trace underestimating it!"

"What is the price?"

"Just the cost of materials will suffice, sixty thousand Spirit Stones!"
