The Strongest in the Caverns of the First Volume Chapter 19 Worth Five Million

  "Senior, I have something I'd like to pawn, but I don't want to exchange it for spirit stones."

  It was the young man who had previously taken out the high-quality ginseng for sale. The old man smiled faintly and said, "Little brother, what do you want to exchange?"

  "Anything that contains the power of the five elements." Chu Yi said slowly and deliberately.

  Upon hearing these words, the old man's expression changed slightly. Anything that can contain the power of the five elements is valuable, even if it's something as ordinary as the Qing Jin Wang stone that was auctioned off earlier. This young man should be aware of this, and yet he still claims to want to exchange it for something else. Just how high must the value of what he has in mind be?

  The old man's surname was Huang and his name was Quan. He was one of the 72 executives of the Wanbao Pavilion, with a cultivation base of Lingji Ninth Realm, and had already glimpsed the edge of the Golden Elixir realm.

  In fact, with the wealth of Wanbao Pavilion, those who can be listed as executives will eventually enter the Golden Elixir realm, but because Huang Quan is infatuated with appraising treasures, appreciating treasures, and seeking treasures, he has delayed his cultivation, otherwise he would have already achieved great success in the Golden Elixir.

  "I can take out a few items that contain the power of the five elements, but you should be aware of the high value of these items. It's not something that can be exchanged for three to five thousand-year-old ginsengs just like that."

  "I understand."

  Chu Yi saw the other party's tone and knew that now was not the time to drag things out. He took out a jade box containing nine-leafed lingzhi fruit from his Qiankun storage bag and handed it to Huang Quan, saying: "What can this thing be exchanged for, according to your senior's judgment?"

  Huang Quan didn't rush to open the jade box, but instead led Chu Yi into a quiet room. Only then did he open it, revealing a spiritual grass with a completely cyan body, leaves like jade, and scarlet fruit growing on top.

  "This... this can't be the Nine-Leafed Lingzhi Fruit..."

  Huang Quan, as one of the 72 executives of the Wanbao Pavilion, naturally had extremely strong ability to identify treasures. At a glance, he recognized the origin of the spiritual grass and was surprised: "The Nine-Leafed Lingzhi Fruit will lose its spiritual energy and decay if it is not used within 100 breaths after leaving the soil. But how can your Nine-Leafed Lingzhi Fruit retain its spiritual energy without losing a single point, and be preserved until now?"

  "There's such a saying!? Perhaps it's all due to the strange workings of the Hongmeng space."

  Chu Yi's understanding of the Nine-Leafed Lingzhi Fruit was all from reading historical records, and his knowledge of its properties was far inferior to that of Huang Quan, a renowned connoisseur. Upon hearing this, he simply shrugged his shoulders and said: "Senior, I don't know either. I just want to use this item to exchange for something that contains the power of the Five Elements' origin, nothing more."

  Chu Yiyu's words were not lost on Huang Quan, who clearly didn't want to ask any more questions. As a member of the Wanbao Pavilion, he still had some professional integrity, and quickly regained his composure from his surprise. He took another look at the nine-leafed Lingzhi fruit inside the jade box, its spiritual energy swirling around it, and said seriously: "The nine-leafed Lingzhi takes a thousand years to mature and requires great luck to bear fruit. This thing is worth at least five million spirit stones."

  "Five Hundred Million Spirit Stones!"

  Even though Chu Yi had made sufficient mental preparations, he was still shocked by the price reported by Huang Quan. Such a huge amount was really astonishing.

  "That's right, 50 million is just the starting price." Huang Quan slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Chu Yi with great interest: "Young brother, the true value of the Jiu Ye Lingzhi fruit lies in its ability to leave the soil without rotting, and having no roots yet not decaying, this point alone is worth 30 million spirit stones."

  Huang Quan took out three spiritual materials from his mustard seed pendant while speaking. First, he pointed to a piece of purple wood that was only slightly thicker than a finger and about five inches long, saying: "This is called the Thunder Soul Purple Dragon Wood, containing more than 5,000 crystal units of wood source energy, worth 2 million spirit stones."

  He turned and pointed to a jade bottle with an inscription: "Inside, there are six drops of Blue Crystal Ice Soul Liquid, each drop containing the power of one thousand crystal water sources."

  Finally, it pointed to a huge piece of Qingjin Wangshi, with a volume at least ten times that of the one sold at the previous auction. "Two thousand three hundred catties of Qingjin Wangshi, containing 3,400 crystals of terrestrial energy."

  Having heard Huang Quan's explanation, Chu Yi's heart was also filled with wild joy. He had indeed not found the wrong person, and this Wanbao Pavilion's shopkeeper really did have something he urgently needed to repair his Hongmeng space.

  "With three spiritual materials combined, I have a total of 15,000 crystal five-element source power to spare. Using it to exchange for Little Friend's Nine-Leafed Lingzhi Fruit, this old man doesn't feel too embarrassed either."

  Huang Quan made a inviting gesture, indicating that Chu Yi check the three spiritual materials. Then, he smiled slightly and said: "Although I don't know where you got this rare Nine-Leafed Spiritual Mushroom Fruit from, I won't ask. But if this deal is successful, I hope that in the future, if you need anything good, you can directly contact me. Whatever you think of, I should be able to get it for you, at least seven or eight out of ten."

  Chu Yi's cultivation strength was seen through by Huang Quan at a glance, yet this person whose cultivation strength wasn't even at the foundation building stage kept taking out rare spiritual medicines one after another.

  This couldn't help but make Huang Quan pay more attention to Chu Yi, after all, for people like them who were in charge of errands, the most important thing was to get to know and befriend those cultivators who often got good things, and doing business relied on this accumulated human connection.

  Huang Quan exchanged this nine-leafed Lingzhi fruit as a tribute to the pavilion, and this rare and precious medicine that would rot once it left the soil was even more difficult to obtain. It was a complete and intact nine-leafed Lingzhi fruit, so it must have been recognized by the pavilion's elder. That's why he put aside his pride and approached Chu Yi with an equal attitude.

  "You're too kind."

  Chu Yi was someone who had crawled and struggled in this big dye vat of modern society, with a mind so clear. As soon as Huang Quan spoke these words, Chu Yi knew that the other party had produced the idea of cooperating with him for a long time.

  Considering that I need to keep the secret of the Hongmeng Pearl from being detected by outsiders, and the future cultivation requires an extremely large amount, it is absolutely necessary to maintain a good relationship with the Wanjia Pavilion, which is completely neutral and has a strength that is not inferior to the nine major sects.

  Chu Yi put away the Leixingzi, Blue Crystal Ice Soul Liquid and Qingjin Wang Stone into his Qiankun Bag, smiling: "Doing business with seniors is truly refreshing. To be honest with senior, not long from now, I will have some more spiritual materials that need to be sold."

  "My young friend, don't be polite to me anymore. My surname is Huang, and my single name is Quan. If you're willing, just call me Brother Huang." Huang Quan was indeed a shrewd businessman, having decided to get along with Chu Yi, he didn't care about the difference in their cultivation levels at all, and said intimately.

  Chu Yi was also delighted to see this, and shouted "Huang brother". The latter personally sent Chu Yi out the door, and even handed over a token with an ancient style, made of neither gold nor iron, as well as a jade slip with spiritual awareness to Chu Yi.

  "You and I have a fate, this treasure map will be given to you, with this map, you can enjoy a 5% discount on any auction house in Wanbao Pavilion, and it's also a high-quality artifact, I've recorded the Ling Jue on the jade slip, you might as well take it to play with."
