Ch400 - Billion Transaction

Edited by Zaki

Hearing City Lord Shi’s words, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes. A cold smile appeared at the edge of his mouth. “City Lord Shi, just now, your son’s fiancée, Fang Tingting, calledXiaoXu and I liars, and now you want to buy the Repairing Spiritual Root Pill. Are you testing us? Offering a billion spirit stones in order to try out two liars, you’re really generous.”

“No, no, Nephew Liu, you misunderstood, how could I not believe you?” Shaking his head, Shi Zhentian hastily denied it, already scolding that brainless Fang Tingting thousands of times in his heart. He thought inwardly:This stinky girl has offended such two big Buddhas for me as soon as she came. This kind of brainless thing, even if she doesn’t withdraw the marriage engagement herself, I will definitely not let Zhe’er marry her.

“Seniors, you have misunderstood.” Shi Zhe saluted deeply coming over.

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter what City Lord Shi means, and it doesn’t matter who we are. We have already killed Cheng Biao, the Fourth Boss of the Black Wind Air Bandits, and we have also received the spirit stones for the reward. As for the Repairing Spiritual Root Pill, I don’t have it. So, I will return the one billion spirit stones to City Lord Shi.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng directly took out three million spirit stones from the storage ring and put the storage ring on the table.

“We’ve already got the reward, so we’re leaving.” Looking at the Shi family Father and Son, Jiang Xu replied coldly, then turned and left with Liu Mufeng.

“Nephew Liu Xian, your waist pendant.” After catching up with the two, City Lord Shi immediately presented the badge to the other.

“En.” Stopping in his tracks, Liu Mufeng took the waist pendant from City Lord Shi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu stopping, Shi Zhe directly stopped the two of them, and knelt down in front of Liu Mufeng.

“Young Master Shi, what are you doing?” Seeing Shi Zhe kneeling in front of him, Liu Mufeng frowned. In fact, he knew that City Lord Shi was not trying to test them, but really wanted to buy that pill. However, the Repairing Spiritual Root Pill didn’t exist, so how could he sell it?

“Senior Liu, please listen to me.” Shi Zhe whispered.

“Young Master Shi, please tell me.” Liu Mufeng spoke lightly.

“Three years ago, I went out to practice, and on my way, I encountered an ambush by the Black Wind Air Bandits, and although I was lucky enough to escape at the time, however, I was severely injured, and my spiritual roots were destroyed, turning me into an invalid who was unable to cultivate. Therefore, my father hated the Black Wind Air bandits, and today’s reward was offered and the two Seniors got the reward. My Father was not testing you, he just wants to buy a Repairing Spiritual Root Pill for me.” Shi Zhe explained the situation to the two people.

Liu Mufeng nodded. “I was too suspicious.”

“No, I don’t blame Senior Liu for this matter. Fang Tingting was really rude. The two Seniors have saved her life, and if it wasn’t for the two Seniors making a move, she would have already been abused and disgraced by the air bandits. But instead of being thankful, she was not only ungrateful, she also spoke ill of them, simply ungrateful and inexplicable.” Shi Zhe was also very depressed. If it weren’t for Fang Tingting, that nasty woman, how could the matter of buying the pill have so many twists and turns.

“Young Master Shi, I can see that you and the City Lord Shi are very sincere. However, this Repairing Spiritual Root Pill is different from ordinary pills. This kind of pill is very risky, and furthermore, the pill that a cultivator with different types of spiritual root needs to take is different. The refining process is very tedious, and many of the spiritual herbs needed are also very precious. Moreover, if the damage to the spiritual root is very serious, a single pill won’t heal it at all.” Liu Mufeng frowned as he explained the difficulties.

“Senior Liu, I am the only Son of my parents. Even if it is risky, I am willing to try. I don’t want to be a useless person, and I don’t want my parents to work hard for me. Even more so, I don’t want them to send their Son to the grave in vain and be sad.” At this point, Shi Zhe’s eyes turned red, and he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might only be a useless person in this life.

“Nephew Liu Xian, if one billion spirit stones are not enough, we can discuss further. You can also tell me what precious spiritual herbs you need, and I will look for them right away. What do you think?” City Lord Shi requested.

Liu Mufeng frowned. “Young Master Shi, what spiritual root and cultivation level are you?”

“I am Fire Spiritual Root, with a cultivation level of two stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm.”

Hearing that the other party was Fire Spiritual Root, Liu Mufeng nodded. Previously, in order to save Qian Feng, Liu Mufeng dug up the spiritual roots of many slaves. At that time, Liu Mufeng had already realized that in the Zunhuang Continent, spiritual roots were not easy to find as there were relatively few cultivators with multiple spiritual roots. Therefore, Liu Mufeng saved all the remaining spiritual roots that Xiaoyuan had dug up. As for the Fire Spiritual Root, there were ready-made ones.

“It takes about a month to refine the pill. It takes two months to slowly recover from taking the pill. Even if the spiritual root is healed, the strength will drop sharply. I can’t guarantee how far it will fall. The pill has a success rate of 70%, and there is a 30% risk. If you fail, you may lose your life, Young Master Shi, are you sure you really want the pill?” Looking at Shi Zhe, Liu Mufeng asked again.

“Of course, even if there is only 10% hope, I want to give it a try.” With 70% hope, how could Shi Zhe give up?

“That’s right, if your strength falls, then let it fall. As long as you can cultivate, you can still cultivate and get back your strength.” City Lord Shi also understood that this kind of pill for repairing spiritual roots could not be perfect and must have side effects.

“Okay, since City Lord Shi and Young Master Shi have requested so much, I’ll give it a try. However, one billion spirit stones can only be considered as a fee. You need to bring your own spiritual herbs. In addition, I need to live here for three months.” Liu Mufeng said so.

“Of course, of course. There is no problem with this.” Nodding, City Lord Shi immediately agreed.

“I have one more request.” After thinking for a while, Jiang Xu suddenly spoke out.

“I don’t know what request Nephew Jiang has?” City Lord Shi asked Jiang Xu.

“City Lord Shi, I want a seventh-level flying magic artifact. Our flying artifact was destroyed by the enemy on the way. It was too troublesome for us to take that public aircraft and encounter air bandits. So, I think I want a flying artifact.” Jiang Xu made his request.

City Lord Shi was in an awkward situation. “Nephew Jiang, this flying magic artifact is different from ordinary magic artifacts. They all need to be customized. Even if you find three or five craftsmen to make it together, it would take eight years at the earliest to make a seveth-level flying magic artifact. It’s impossible to make it in three months. It’s not even possible to finish making the parts.”

“You don’t have to ask for a new one. City Lord Shi, you are the City Lord of Hui City. I think you know a lot of seventh-level cultivators. You can get us a second-hand one. Just find those seventh-level cultivators and buy it from them.” Jiang Xu felt that Shi Zhentian was the boss of this place, and it was perfect for him to come forward to do this.

“That’s it. Yes, that’s fine. I’ll ask other seventh-level cultivators tomorrow to see who has a recently-refined flying artifact and buy it for Nephew Jiang.”

“If that’s the case, then I would like to thank City Lord Shi.” Smiling, Jiang Xu immediately thanked him.

“Nephew Jiang, no need to be so polite.”

“Young Master Shi, you should get up too. Let’s go to your room. I’ll check on you to see the condition of your spiritual roots. If your condition is too bad, my pill may not be effective.”

“Okay, two Seniors, please.” Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Shi Zhe couldn’t help feeling a little worried and thought:I don’t know if Senior Liu’s pill can be effective for me.

When he came to Shi Zhe’s room, Liu Mufeng let Shi Zhe lie on the bed, and carefully checked Shi Zhe’s Dantian with his soul power, and found that Shi Zhe’s spiritual roots were far less damaged than Qian Feng. Only one-third of the spiritual roots were destroyed, and two-thirds of the spiritual roots were still intact.

“Nephew Liu, how is my Son’s condition? Is it suitable to use your pill?” Shi Zhentian asked anxiously as he saw Liu Mufeng had finished examining.

“En, Young Master Shi’s situation is okay. The problem is not too big, the success rate can reach 80%. I have to study the pill recipe carefully in the next two days and when I’m done, I’ll take the list of spiritual herbs needed to City Lord Shi.”

“Okay, thank you, Nephew Liu.” City Lord Shi handed over the storage ring. “Nephew Liu Xian, you keep the one billion spirit stones first.”

“En.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng accepted the other party’s spirit stones.

“Zhe’er, the two Daoist Friends have worked hard, quickly take them to the guest room to rest. Order the servants to deliver the meals.” Shi Zhentian ordered his Son.

“Yes Father.” Shi Zhe responded and left his room with Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu.

“After Young Master Shi was injured, he shouldn’t have taken a few pills to nourish his spiritual roots, right?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

“Yes, Senior Liu. I’m just a junior. Seniors can call me Shi Zhe, not Young Master Shi.” Shi Zhe said so.

“En, your Cousins are all cultivators of my Lingwu Sect. From now on,XiaoXu and I will call you Nephew and you can call us Uncle.”

“Okay,I will listen to Senior Uncle Liu.” Nodding, Shi Zhe accepted the title.

“Nephew Shi, the treatment process may be very painful, you have to be prepared for this.”

“Senior Uncle, don’t worry, I will never back down.” Shi Zhe waited three years for this opportunity, so how could he back down?
