Chapter 1862 Silently observing
This Soft Feather was the Heavenly Emperor in disguise. She had snuck into the group of drunk fellow daoists, and joined in enjoying the food and drink. At this moment, her ears perked up as she grew interested in the topic of conversation.
Even when the drunk fellow daoists saw her playing together with the other two Soft Feathers, they didn’t think much of it.
However, this was not only due to the fellow daoists having drunk too much, but also because the Heavenly Emperor had cast a small magical technique on herself.
This was a magical technique that could make her unobtrusive. With it, those who saw her would instinctively feel that her existence was reasonable. This small magical technique was one she had derived from a master assassin who had copied the cultivation technique of a mysterious sect.
With this magical technique, the Heavenly Emperor was just another sheep among the flock. Other than Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly, nobody had truly taken notice of this strange situation. But as Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly indulged in enjoying his time with his three daughters, which he found difficult to extricate himself from, he did not do anything about it.
The Heavenly Emperor took a sip of the fine wine as she thought, A fragment of the Eastern Spring Pavilion is a fragment of the four Great Emperors’ main palaces.
In the Ancient Heavenly City, besides the Heavenly Emperors’ main palace, the most important locations would include the Great Emperor’s palaces and Jade Lake Empress Cheng Lin’s special world.
The Ancient Heavenly City could be said to be the most powerful force in the history of the world of cultivation, and even the Scholarly Sage’s scholarly faction would not be able to compare with it—at least the scholarly faction had far fewer Immortals than the Heavenly City.
The concept and mode of creation of the two were different.
The scholarly faction had been founded by the Scholarly Sage from scratch, and all of its disciples had been raised by him.
On the other hand, the Ancient Heavenly City had been founded by the first Heavenly Emperor along with several like-minded companions, and it had taken in copious amounts of experts from all over the universe.
Now that the Heavenly Emperor was rebuilding the Heavenly City, besides the Heavenly Emperor’s main palace, the fragments of the palaces of the four Great Emperors were of great importance to her.
Thus, she pricked her ears and paid attention to the conversation between Song Shuhang and the Almighty Merchant.
Song Shuhang did not rush the Almighty Merchant to pass him the fragments, and instead first asked, “Senior Almighty Merchant, how large are the Eastern Spring Pavilion’s fragments?”
The Almighty Merchant replied, “I got a total of three fragments from the various channels I possess. Each of the fragments is about a quarter of the size of the small island under our feet.”
These three fragments excluded the number of fragments that his disciple, Almighty Seller, had acquired or was set on acquiring. The world of business was a place where competition was everywhere. Unfortunately for the Almighty Merchant, the Almighty Seller was his precious disciple, and he couldn’t bring himself to take her goods from her…
Should I look for an opportunity to sell Almighty Seller for a good price, and marry her off to someone in the future? That way, I won’t have to worry about her taking my business anymore! A bold idea suddenly emerged in the mind of the Almighty Merchant.
Song Shuhang asked, “Can they shrink?”
The Almighty Merchant shook his head. “They don’t have this function. After all, they’re merely fragments.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Then, Senior, do you have a way to shrink them?”
“Yes.” The Almighty Merchant rubbed his fingers, and said, “As long as the price is right, you can have anything you want.”
“Then please wait a moment, Senior,” said Song Shuhang.
At this time, he really wanted to copy Senior Shadow and casually wave his hand while saying, “It’s fine, because I’m rich.”
Unfortunately, he was broke.
Song Shuhang turned around to Senior White’s clone, who stood close by, and said, “Senior White, do you have any way to shrink three small islands that are about a fourth of Heavenly Field Island in size? I need help shrinking them to the size where I can send them into the Inner World.”
“What about your (Saber-Nurturing Technique)?” Senior White’s clone picked up a piece of Braised Heavenly Tribulation with a fork and placed it into his mouth. At this time, both of his cheeks were full of food.
If it weren’t for the secret sound transmission technique, he wouldn’t be able to speak at all.
Song Shuhang replied, “No, this time, they’re only fragments rather than a living magical treasure. As such, I’m afraid that the (Saber-Nurturing Technique) won’t work.”
“Then cut them up. As long as you cut them small enough, you’ll be able to easily transfer them into your Inner World.” Senior White’s clone swallowed the food in his mouth, and added, “If my main body was here, he should have a large formation that can shrink the fragments down to a suitable size, but as that formation consumes a lot of energy, I don’t have enough to activate it.” When Senior White’s clone ran out of energy, it would immediately disappear.
Sigh. If Senior White Two wasn’t angry right now, I could have asked him for help. Song Shuhang squeezed his chin, but he knew that now was not the time for him to summon Senior White Two.
Hence, his only option now was to borrow some more spirit stones from Senior White.
“Senior White, can you lend me some more spirit stones?” Song Shuhang said cheekily. “Sure, how much do you need?” Senior White’s clone said as he stuffed his cheeks full once more.
Song Shuhang looked at the Almighty Merchant, and asked, “Senior, how many spirit stones will it take to shrink the fragments?”
The Almighty Merchant smiled and stretched out four fingers-he had sobered up due to the earlier incident with Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard, and was now back in full business mode.
At the same time, behind him, Fairy Almighty Seller cautiously extended three fingers.
“…” Song Shuhang. It was pretty obvious that the Almighty Merchant was cheating him.
The Almighty Merchant turned his head sharply, and looked at Fairy Almighty Seller. “Idiot, when the other party is Tyrannical Song, we don’t give them a 5% discount!”
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t I get a 5% discount? Also, a 5% discount on four isn’t three! Senior Almighty Merchant, I misunderstood you. I thought that we had a good relationship.”
Fairy Almighty Seller said, “Actually, I think that Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song is pretty good, and has the potential to become a VIP customer.”
Song Shuhang nodded his head repeatedly.
The Almighty Merchant sighed deeply. Some people were always strange. In some cases, no matter what others said, they might not believe it, and it was only when they suffered themselves that they would believe the others’ words.
Fairy Almighty Seller couldn’t see what a huge pitfall Tyrannical Song was. When she one day fell into the pit herself, only then would she come to regret her decisions.
The Almighty Merchant said solemnly, “Fine, but I won’t accept any less than three Ninth Stage spirit stones. If it’s any less, I will be losing money.” Song Shuhang said, “Deal.” The Almighty Merchant asked, “Do you want me to give you the goods right away?”
Song Shuhang looked at Senior White’s clone.
Senior White’s clone shook his head. “There’s no hurry. We can continue talking about the transaction after the banquet is over.”
There was no money on the clone’s body at the moment. He would still have to go to the various treasuries hidden by his main body to fetch the spirit stones.
“Alright, then I’ll have someone prepare the goods first. When the time comes, we can choose a location to complete the transaction in one go.” After the Almighty Merchant said that, he took out his phone and said, “I’ll make a call first.”
After saying that, he rose into the air, and left the noisy banquet area.
The Heavenly Emperor, who had been hiding amongst the crowd, reluctantly put down her fork, quietly following the Almighty Merchant.
