Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 440: Chapter 439: Divine Tree: Desolate Iron Tree

Qin Feng casually browsed the various counters.

At that moment, an attendant walked over and asked what Qin Feng needed. When he learned that Qin Feng wanted to purchase a large quantity of rare Spirit Medicine Seeds, he immediately led Qin Feng to the back and called for a few maids to bring over several plates of Half-Spirit Fruit.

The attendant himself hurried off to make his report.

Before long, a vigorous, cyan-robed elder walked out from the back hall. The elder had a full head of black hair and a ruddy, infant-like complexion. A peculiar medicinal fragrance clung to him.

"Cyan Dragon Pill?" Qin Feng’s nose twitched.

Hearing this, the cyan-robed elder looked up abruptly and sized up Qin Feng. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before he concealed it. "Young man, you practice Alchemy as well?" he asked.

"A little," Qin Feng nodded.

"The Cyan Dragon Pill is a Third-grade Spirit Pill. It’s said to make every man a dragon. This Elixir can temper a Martial Artist’s will. By taking it, even someone as timid as a mouse or utterly cowardly can overcome their nature and become a dragon among men. However, it seems you added too much Dragon Saliva Grass, Elder. This threw the medicinal properties out of balance, reducing the Cyan Dragon Pill to a medium-to-low grade."

Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the elder. Noticing the medicinal ash on the man’s robes, Qin Feng could even tell that this elder had blown up his furnace at least seven or eight times.

"What a keen sense!" The elder was greatly astonished. ’To deduce so many intricacies from a mere scent... this black-robed youth is anything but simple.’

The cyan-robed elder spoke with gravity. "Judging by your words, young friend, your attainments in the Dao of alchemy are clearly no less than my own. May I ask which master you study under?"

"I have no sect or clan. It’s not worth mentioning," Qin Feng said, shaking his head.

Seeing that Qin Feng was unwilling to elaborate, the cyan-robed elder dropped the subject. "My name is Yue Wanglou. Young man, you wish to purchase Spirit Medicine Seeds?"

Qin Feng nodded slightly. "That is correct. I am in the process of establishing a clan and need a batch of Spirit Medicine Seeds."

"The higher the quality, the better. Xuan-grade spiritual medicine seeds would be ideal. If you have any Earth-grade spiritual medicine seeds, I would consider them as well, provided the price is right."

With a slight frown, the cyan-robed elder chuckled. "Rest assured, young man. This shop is a major trading company under the Treasure House. As long as you can afford it—and I don’t mean to boast—there isn’t a Spirit Medicine Seed I can’t get my hands on!"

Hearing "Treasure House," Qin Feng’s expression flickered slightly.

The Treasure House was no ordinary trading company. It was a faction affiliated with the Spirit Treasure Sect.

The Spirit Treasure Sect was an immense power, its influence spreading across many domains. The sect had opened numerous trading companies, and it was said that wherever profit was to be made, a disciple of the Spirit Treasure Sect could be found.

From wealthy tycoons to humble peddlers and traveling merchants, any one of them could be a disciple of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

The Spirit Treasure Sect was renowned for its credibility.

As he spoke, the cyan-robed elder extended a hand. An ethereal Rune materialized, forming a golden Copper Coin in the Void. On the coin was the insignia of "Spirit Treasure."

’That’s the mark of the Spirit Treasure Sect,’ Qin Feng noted inwardly.

No one would dare pose as a branch of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

Then, the cyan-robed elder’s tone shifted.

"However, this is the Domain of All Stars, so we must abide by its rules. According to Star Sect regulations, Martial Artists who are not disciples of the Sect face certain restrictions. To purchase Spirit Medicine Seeds in large quantities, you must first apply for a permit at the Star Palace Temple."

Qin Feng knew that Spirit Medicine Seeds were a rare resource. Many kingdoms and sects controlled their distribution strictly to prevent them from falling into the hands of hostile forces.

Typically, any Martial Artist wishing to purchase them in large quantities would have to undergo a rigorous screening process and obtain authorization.

Purchasing them privately, if discovered, would lead to severe consequences.

However, in some parts of the Nine Great Empires, this rule existed in name only.

But the Netherworld Crow Kingdom was a core Commandery Kingdom under the Star Sect’s rule, so the procedures were still required here.

But once Qin Feng revealed his identity as an Inner Sect Disciple, all of that ceased to be a problem.

Upon seeing Qin Feng’s Star Sect Inner Sect Disciple Token, the cyan-robed elder’s brow twitched. A peculiar glint flashed in his eyes. A Star Sect Inner Sect Disciple Token could not be faked.

Nor would anyone risk being hunted down by the entire Star Sect just to impersonate one of their Inner Sect Disciples.

Still, the owner of this Token sparked an idea in the cyan-robed elder’s mind. Though his expression remained impassive, a plan began to form as he chuckled and spoke.

"Excellent. With this Star Sect Inner Sect Disciple Token, all the formalities can be waived. How many Spirit Medicine Seeds might our guest be interested in!"

"Although our Zhang’s Pharmacy is not large, we have an ample reserve of Spirit Medicine Seeds. We stock a total of 1,012 types of Yellow Rank Spirit Medicine Seeds and over a hundred types of Xuan-grade spiritual medicine seeds. We even have three types of Earth-grade spiritual medicine seeds: the Nine Nether Curved Lotus, the Desolate Iron Tree Seed, and the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree Seed!"

"However, the more precious the Spirit Medicine Seed, the higher the price. For example, a Nine Nether Curved Refining Seed is worth three thousand Spirit Crystals. The Desolate Iron Tree Seed and Dragon Blood Ancient Tree Seed are rarer still, and thus even more valuable!"

"You actually have Desolate Iron Tree Seeds here!"

Though his expression remained unchanged, Qin Feng was inwardly shaken.

The cyan-robed elder chuckled softly. "You are in luck, Young Master. The Desolate Iron Tree is a renowned Gold Attribute Spiritual Root. A true Desolate Iron Tree is a Divine Object. If planted within one’s Inner Heaven and Earth, it has the supreme ability to stabilize the Heaven and Earth Geng Metal Qi and resist the Chaos Tribulation. Just the other day, an Elder from our Domain of All Stars branch chanced upon an Ancient Cave Mansion and found some rare Spirit Medicine Seeds. Among them were three Desolate Iron Tree Seeds and three Dragon Blood Ancient Tree Seeds!"

"This batch of Spirit Medicine Seeds was originally meant to be shipped to our headquarters for sale. However, if you can afford it, Young Master, I can make an exception and sell you one of each!"

Qin Feng looked up sharply at the cyan-robed elder.

’Putting aside the Nine Nether Curved Lotus seed, the Desolate Iron Tree Seed and Dragon Blood Ancient Tree Seed are worldly rarities.’

’The Desolate Iron Tree is a Gold Element Divine Tree. Even if this is a Second Generation Spirit Seed with lesser potential, successfully cultivating it would make passing the first Chaos Tribulation of Nirvana a simple matter.’

’If any Martial Arts Giants found out about this Spirit Seed, they would likely go berserk—they might even take the desperate risk of massacring everyone in the Treasure House Trading Company for it.’

’The Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, while slightly less valuable, is undoubtedly a sacred tree to any subspecies of True Dragon.’

’The Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, the True Dragon Divine Wood, and six other divine trees are collectively known as the Eight Great Divine Woods of the Dragon Race. Their properties are irreplaceable.’

’It can purify the True Dragon Bloodline and has the legendary effect of allowing a carp to Transform into a Dragon.’

’If any experts from the Dragon Race were to learn that the seed of this Divine Wood had appeared, they would likely stop at nothing to seize it.’

’Why would this elder offer up such precious Spirit Medicine Seeds so easily?’ A sense of vigilance rose in Qin Feng’s heart. His expression remained impassive as his gaze shifted back to the beaming, cyan-robed elder. ’I’m no fool. He wouldn’t bring out Spirit Medicine Seeds this rare without a reason.’

In his past life, Qin Feng had dealt with the people of the Spirit Treasure Sect before. He knew their creed.

’The people of the Spirit Treasure Sect never do business at a loss!’

"Elder Yue, if you have something to say, just say it directly!"
