Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 304 Linlang Pavilion, big business!
"Want to exchange for top-grade spirit stones?"

The receptionist looked at Lin Chen with some surprise.

Although the spiritual energy absorption rate of the top-grade spirit stone is high, the price is too expensive!

The spiritual energy content of a top-grade spirit stone is approximately equal to that of ten high-grade spirit stones.

However, the efficiency of using top-grade spirit stones for cultivation is only twice that of using high-grade spirit stones.

But what about the price?

One top-grade spirit stone requires twenty-six high-grade spirit stones to exchange.

If measured by lower-grade spirit stones, one top-grade spirit stone requires five thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

However, the spiritual energy content is only a thousand times that of lower-grade spirit stones.

This means that for every top-grade spirit stone exchanged, there is a loss of about five times.

But this cannot be completely calculated. For cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage and especially those above the Spiritual Transformation stage, the improvement in cultivation brought by low-grade spirit stones is almost invisible.

Only medium-quality spirit stones are useful for improving one's cultivation.

If you use high-quality spirit stones, you can achieve a considerable speed in your cultivation.

Lin Chen had used up all his high-quality spirit stones in the past few years, so his cultivation speed was greatly affected.

As for the ultimate spirit stone...

Ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators would probably be reluctant to use it, for one simple reason... it's too expensive.

If Lin Chen used top-grade spirit stones to practice, assuming he consumed fifty spirit stones every day, that would be equivalent to consuming two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones.

Lin Chen's net worth of hundreds of millions of spirit stones is only enough for him to practice for a few decades.

In comparison, using high-quality spirit stones for cultivation would be much more cost-effective, but the speed of cultivation would be nearly half as slow.

Of course, this is because Lin Chen has the Soul-Devouring Root and his cultivation speed is too fast.

If an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator practices very hard, he cannot consume five top-grade spirit stones in a day.

In most cases, top-grade spirit stones are used to set up formations.

However, there are still ten years before Tianxu opens.

Lin Chen must improve his cultivation as much as possible during these ten years.

Originally, with Lin Chen's speed of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Return to Void realm within ten years.

But if I use the best quality spirit stones... maybe I can try to reach the Return to Void Stage?
By then, when you enter Tianxu again, you won’t have too many concerns...

"I wonder...how many top-grade spirit stones do you want, fellow Daoist?" asked the receptionist.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Two thousand top-grade spirit stones... is that feasible?"

After hearing this number, the receptionist looked at Lin Chen with higher regard again.

Two thousand top-grade spirit stones, that would be ten million spirit stones.

Although the cultivators in Yunzhou are either rich or noble, there are not many Nascent Soul cultivators who can easily take out so many spirit stones?
"Fellow Daoist... do you want to use top-grade spirit stones to practice? In such large quantities?" the receptionist asked.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "No, it's just used as a material for setting up the formation."

After hearing this, the receptionist's doubts were slightly alleviated.

If it is used to set up an array, then that is normal?
At this moment, the receptionist had already regarded Lin Chen as an elder of a certain sect, who came to purchase resources on behalf of the sect.

"Okay, two thousand top-grade spirit stones require a total of 1.016 million low-grade spirit stones... Can I make a small difference for you and make it 10 million?" The receptionist asked politely.

Lin Chen nodded and handed over a storage bag.

After the receptionist counted the number, he left temporarily.

After a moment, he took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it solemnly to Lin Chen.

"Fellow Daoist, please check the inventory in front of me... These top-grade spirit stones are very valuable. If anything goes wrong... we will not be responsible."

Lin Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then he used his spiritual sense to count the top-grade spirit stones.

After all, it is a big store called Linlang Pavilion, and the spiritual energy in these top-grade spirit stones is very abundant. There is no shortage of weight, and two thousand pieces are not a small number.

Lin Chen put away the top-grade spirit stone.

But these two thousand spirit stones would only be enough for him to practice for a month at most.

With his current status, it is obviously impossible for him to purchase a large number of top-grade spirit stones.

"I will go back and use the top-grade spirit stones to cultivate for a while... If I purchase them in large quantities as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it might arouse suspicion..."

Lin Chen said to himself, and then left Linlang Pavilion.

Before leaving, he took a walk around the pavilion.

In addition to the top-grade spirit stones, there are also a number of fifth-grade Qi-boosting pills that assist in cultivation, which are of great help to Lin Chen.

Even the Jade Dew of the Spirit World is available for sale, but the price is too expensive...

Five million spirit stones to buy a drop of spirit jade dew!
This price is really too expensive...

After leaving Linlang Pavilion, Lin Chen returned to the cave.

Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian didn’t communicate much, and most of the time they were both doing their own things.

At this time, Lin Chen returned to the cave and took out the top-grade spirit stones he had purchased.

"The spiritual energy of the blessed land, combined with the top-grade spiritual stones... How fast will the cultivation speed be?"

Lin Chen was eager to try it out.

So, he took out a purple lotus pill, swallowed it, and activated the spirit gathering array.

Afterwards, hundreds of top-grade spirit stones were scattered around his body.

Lin Chen slowly practiced the Evergreen Technique.

After more than ten big cycles, Lin Chen finished his practice.

At this time, it was already the evening of the third day.

Lin Chen practiced for nearly two days.

The hundreds of spirit stones around him turned into powder, and Lin Chen felt the changes in the true energy in his dantian.

"Tsk tsk, this training efficiency is amazing..."

A look of surprise flashed across Lin Chen's eyes.

In just two days, his energy reserves had increased visibly.

The practice he had done in the past two days was equivalent to the practice he had done in Qingzhou for half a month...

"It's just that the energy consumption of this practice... is indeed a bit too great..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

The rapid improvement of cultivation comes at the cost of rapid consumption of spirit stones.

Counting the consumption of elixirs, cave expenses, and top-grade spirit stones...

The amount of spirit stones Lin Chen needed for one day's practice was more than 300,000.

In a year, that would be a consumption of 100 million spirit stones...

"Alas, I thought the stored resources were enough... but I didn't expect it to be far from enough."

“However… the feeling of rapid improvement in cultivation is indeed wonderful… maybe in less than ten years, in another six or seven years, I will be able to reach the state of perfect spiritual transformation!”

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

In order to quickly improve his cultivation, Lin Chen decided to spend this amount of spirit stones.

After all, you can earn more spirit stones if you lose them, and cultivation is the root of everything.

"However, we still have to find a way... to get more top-grade spirit stones..."

Lin Chen already had a vague idea in his mind.

……

For the next month, Lin Chen stayed in the cave to practice and rarely went out.

It was not until the top-grade spirit stones in his hands were used up and Lin Chen felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down that he finally left the cave.

Without even saying hello to Jiang Liqian, Lin Chen went out alone under the cover of night and found a deserted place to change his identity.

It was not until three days later that Lin Chen went to Linlang Pavilion again.

But this time, Lin Chen’s identity was completely different.

……

Linlang Pavilion.

Lin Chen walked slowly closer and looked around.

Just like last time, a manager soon came over.

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder what you want to buy in my Linlang Pavilion?" This is the manager in the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Lin Chen just glanced at him calmly and said softly:
"Call the people in charge here. I have a big business to discuss..."

After hearing this, the Yuanying stage manager smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. I am the manager of Linlang Pavilion. I don't know how big the business is... I think I should be able to make the decision."

"Can you make the decision on a business worth more than 300 million spirit stones?" Lin Chen asked in a voice transmission.

After hearing this, the manager's face suddenly changed.

A business worth 300 million spirit stones...

In Linlang Pavilion, ordinary receptionists can handle business worth less than 10 million.

Being a manager, one can handle business worth less than 50 million spirit stones.

As for over 100 million spirit stones...only the few pavilion masters of Linlang Pavilion can make the decision.

"Fellow Daoist, are you joking?" the manager asked tentatively.

Afterwards, he looked at Lin Chen carefully, and even used some of his spiritual sense.

However, it was impossible to see through Lin Chen’s cultivation level.

"Humph, that's rude!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly and just glared at the manager, which made his face turn pale and his heartbeat quicken.

The Yuanying stage manager immediately guessed something and said quickly:
"Fellow Daoist... No, Senior, please wait a moment... I will call the person who can make the decision!"

"Senior, please follow me to the VIP room to rest for a while?"

This manager was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, but he was almost frightened speechless by Lin Chen's warning with his spiritual sense.

The difference in cultivation between the two is too great!

Then it was natural for him to think that Lin Chen was a True Lord of Transformation.

Lin Chen was too lazy to explain and just nodded.

The steward was cautious along the way. After bringing Lin Chen to the VIP room, he said a few nice words before leaving in a hurry.

Lin Chen didn't wait too long.

Soon, a monk with red hair and beard walked into the VIP room.

Seeing Lin Chen, he looked at him carefully for a few seconds, then asked calmly:

"I am the Red Eyebrow Master, and also the deputy leader of Linlang Pavilion... May I know what your Taoist name is?"

Lin Chen glanced at him and shook his head:
"I won't say anything more, fellow Daoist... Can you make the decision about the business I'm talking about?"

True Lord Chimei smiled and said:

"Of course I can make the decision...but what is your cultivation level?"

True Lord Chimei wanted to say something but stopped himself. He felt that he could not see through Lin Chen.

But it was not easy to directly ask Lin Chen about his cultivation...

Moreover, an ordinary God-Transforming Master wouldn't have the financial resources to handle a business worth 300 million spirit stones, right?
However, Lin Chen just glanced at him indifferently, revealing a little bit of spiritual awareness.

The powerful spiritual consciousness instantly caused the Red Eyebrow True Lord to freeze on the spot.

"Senior...I am sorry for being rude!"

True Lord Chimei lowered his head and apologized quickly.

He had seen the strength of Master Fanxu's spiritual consciousness...

In fact, the person he had met seemed to have even less spiritual power than Lin Chen?
This is Yunzhou, not the spiritual world!

With such a strong spiritual power, his cultivation must have reached the late stage of Return to Void?
Thinking of this, True Lord Chimei became more respectful.

Lin Chen's expression remained calm.

He was in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, and with the Tian Yan Jue's enhancement of his spiritual power...

And in Yunzhou, his strength is not suppressed by the way of heaven.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Lin Chen's spiritual power is indeed comparable to that of a late-stage Return to Void cultivator in Yunzhou.

"Senior...what kind of business are you going to do?" asked True Lord Chimei cautiously.

Lin Chen said calmly:

"I want to exchange for a batch of high-quality and top-quality spiritual stones... and some spiritual jade dew as well."

After hearing this, True Lord Chimei felt somewhat confused.

The best and high-quality spirit stones in Yunzhou, especially the jade dew from the spirit world... are much more expensive than those bought in the spirit world.

Why did this mysterious Master Fanxu not buy it in the spiritual world, but instead in Yunzhou?

However, True Lord Chimei did not dare to ask in detail.

Perhaps this master does not want to reveal his identity, or perhaps it is inconvenient to purchase in the spiritual world?

But that's not what he should care about.

Every Master Fanxu has a high status in the spiritual world.

So, True Lord Chimei asked tentatively:
"I wonder how much you need, Senior?"

Lin Chen already had a plan in mind, so he said:

"I want 100,000 top-grade spirit stones and 1 million high-grade spirit stones..."

"...I need a hundred drops of the Jade Dew from the Spirit World."

Every time Lin Chen spoke, the eyelids of this True Lord Chimei twitched.

One hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, that’s five hundred million spirit stones.

One million high-quality spirit stones, converted to nearly 200 million spirit stones...

There are also a hundred drops of spiritual jade dew...

The business of 300 million spirit stones that was agreed upon?

No matter how you calculate it, it’s already more than one billion?
True Lord Chimei did not doubt that Lin Chen could not afford the spirit stones, but was curious about why Lin Chen wanted to buy them from Linlang Pavilion.

Purchasing these materials in Yunzhou is at least several times more expensive than in the Spirit World...

However, there is no reason to refuse business that comes to your door.

True Lord Chimei still said politely:
"Senior, the things you want...are not cheap!"

"If you buy it in the spirit world, you can save hundreds of millions of spirit stones...but if you buy it in my Linlang Pavilion..."

True Lord Chimei hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"I can give you a 40% discount at most... I can deliver all these spirit stones and spirit fluids today!"

40% off?

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

Originally, these three items would cost at least 1.2 billion spirit stones.

After a 40% discount, it would only be 720 million spirit stones...

This is equivalent to saving nearly 500 million spirit stones.

Of course, even with 700 million spirit stones, Linlang Pavilion's profit is still frighteningly high.

They purchased resources at the price of the spirit world, and they sold well when they were brought to Yunzhou.

But for Lin Chen, the remaining 500 million spirit stones are real.

"Red Eyebrow Master, right? I will remember you..."

Lin Chen nodded and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Lord Chimei showed even more joy on his face.

It was a good thing for him to be noticed by a Master Fanxu.

"I don't know... How do you plan to trade, senior? The pavilion can now take out this amount of spirit stones and spirit jade dew..."

Chimei Zhenjun asked with some curiosity.

Seven hundred million spirit stones, such a large amount is rarely traded with lower-grade spirit stones.

Usually it is done by using some practice resources with consistently stable prices.

Lin Chen was well prepared for this. He took out a Jin Yuan Dan and a Ying Ying Dan.

"I wonder what price Linlang Pavilion plans to pay for these two medicinal pills?"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Chimei took the Golden Yuan Pill, examined it carefully and said:
"This Jin Yuan Dan is just ordinary, and its quality is probably medium-grade... According to the market price in Yunzhou, one pill costs 100,000 spirit stones."

"As for this Infant Forming Pill..."

Lord Chimei thought about it and gave a price.

"The price of the Infant Forming Pill is much higher, one million spirit stones per pill. What do you think, Senior?"

After hearing the price, Lin Chen remained calm.

But in my heart I thought something was wrong.

"I miscalculated... The price is much lower than in Qingzhou... I should have sold more in Qingzhou earlier!"
