Chapter 1046: Chapter 1047: A 230 Million Deal

“Let’s recover from the injuries first.”

Chu Fengmian thought to himself, with his injuries so severe, it was essential to recover first before he could move around the Ancient Monster Continent.

“How much are these Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Pills worth in total Spirit Stones?”

Chu Fengmian looked at Wang Zhenliu and asked.

Although his wealth was limitless, it was still good to ask to avoid being taken advantage of.

“This Dragon Blood Grass, worth a million Spirit Stones, Blood Crystal Stone, two million Spirit Stones, Qiluo Sacred Medicine, ten million Spirit Stones…”

Wang Zhenliu began quoting the prices one by one, fully aware of all the treasures’ prices at the Ancient Snake Commerce.

Soon, the prices of all seventy-three treasures were reported one by one.

“All seventy-three treasures combined total two hundred and thirty-five million, but let’s make it two hundred and thirty million for Mr. Chu.”

After stating this, Wang Zhenliu smiled at Chu Fengmian.

This was the biggest deal he had ever done as the shopkeeper on the seventh floor, and completing it would rapidly elevate his status at the Ancient Snake Commerce.

This determination led Wang Zhenliu to decide to befriend Chu Fengmian, believing that having a good relationship with Chu Fengmian would bring limitless prospects.

Upon hearing this quotation, Chu Fengmian glanced at Liu Yi; he wasn’t familiar with the prices on the Ancient Monster Continent, but Liu Yi was.

Seeing Liu Yi nod, Chu Fengmian knew the prices were indeed fair and were even lower compared to those in the Nine Domains.

“Alright, two hundred and thirty million it is, all paid with royal-grade Spirit Stones.”

With a grasp of his hand, Chu Fengmian produced a large pile of royal-grade Spirit Stones, which flew towards Wang Zhenliu.

Wang Zhenliu checked and confirmed the value of two hundred and thirty million top-grade Spirit Stones, then stored them all in the Space Ring.

“Mr. Chu, this is our highest-grade Purple Snake Card at Ancient Snake Commerce, and from today on, wherever Mr. Chu visits any Ancient Snake Commerce, present this card for exclusive reception.”

Wang Zhenliu handed a purple Jade Talisman to Chu Fengmian.

This was an attempt to win over Chu Fengmian, considering his vast wealth, making transactions with him would be to Wang Zhenliu’s benefit as well.

Without revealing any expression, Chu Fengmian accepted the Purple Snake Card, preparing to stand up and leave. Then, as he was about to depart, he turned back and asked,

“Shopkeeper Wang, is there another commerce beside Ancient Snake Commerce where I can purchase Dragon Snake Fruit?”

Chu Fengmian questioned Wang Zhenliu, unwilling to give up easily.

Securing the Dragon Snake Fruit and refining the Dragon Snake Holy Pill would significantly speed up Chu Fengmian’s injury recovery.

“It’s said that Young Master Lei is about to break through and requires a large amount of Dragon Snake Fruit, having already bought out all of You Mountain City Commerce’s stock. If you need to buy, you’ll have to travel to cities millions of miles away.”

Wang Zhenliu pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered.

“Oh right, if Mr. Chu is urgent, there’s an auction tonight at Ancient Snake Commerce where Dragon Snake Fruit will be available. However, the auctioned Dragon Snake Fruit isn’t part of our Ancient Snake Commerce stock; it has to be acquired at the auction.”

“But it’s said that Young Master Lei is determined to get this batch of Dragon Snake Fruit. If Mr. Chu intends to compete with him, it may be difficult… Perhaps waiting for a while, another batch will arrive in a month.”

Wang Zhenliu’s words served as a reminder.

In You Mountain City, competing against Young Master Lei would be the most foolish choice, as not even the City Lord of You Mountain City would dare.

Given that Young Master Lei’s father, Lei Yan, is an Inspector with considerable power and status.

“A month’s time? Too long.”

Chu Fengmian shook his head.

His current priority was recovering from injuries, then seeking out Han Yueli and Luo Xi.

Wasting a month here would risk too many changes, and Chu Fengmian couldn’t wait.

“Auction, is it? With my wealth, I’m no match for anyone.”

Chu Fengmian murmured softly to himself.

Tonight’s auction, the Dragon Snake Fruit was a must-win for Chu Fengmian, no one would contend with him.

“Ah.”

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s murmurs, Wang Zhenliu sighed.

He had already advised Chu Fengmian, and if Chu Fengmian wouldn’t heed, there was nothing he could do.

“When does tonight’s auction start?”

Chu Fengmian ignored Young Master Lei, as once his injuries were recovered, not even Inspector Lei Yan would faze him.

“It’s nearly time for the auction to commence. Although you two haven’t booked in advance, usually participation isn’t permitted, however, Mr. Chu is a valued guest of our Ancient Snake Commerce. Let me take both of you to attend.”

Wang Zhenliu’s eyes gleamed as he spoke with a smile.

By Wang Zhenliu’s words, Chu Fengmian could tell that Wang Zhenliu was keen on making a favorable impression.

It seems this transaction had huge benefits for Wang Zhenliu in establishing a stable trading relationship with Chu Fengmian, promising even greater benefits.

This little ploy wasn’t lost on Chu Fengmian, yet it wasn’t disadvantageous. On the contrary, it brought several conveniences.

“Alright, I’ll trouble you, Shopkeeper Wang.”

Chu Fengmian responded with a smile.

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”

Wang Zhenliu, leading Chu Fengmian and Liu Yi, moved directly from the seventh floor into an Array.

Soon, they arrived at another grand hall.

“Is this the underground of Ancient Snake Commerce?”

Chu Fengmian spread his Spiritual Sense, discovering that they were now underground at Ancient Snake Commerce.

“Indeed, the auction at Ancient Snake Commerce is held underground.”

Wang Zhenliu explained with a smile.

“Visitors, please present your identification tokens.”

Approaching the entrance of the palace, several Martial Artists came forward and blocked them.

“Move aside; you don’t even recognize me anymore?”

With a cold snort from Wang Zhenliu, those Martial Artists glanced at him, their expressions changed, hastily saying,

“So it’s Shopkeeper Wang, what brings you here?”

Holding the position as the seventh-floor shopkeeper, Wang Zhenliu had a high status in Ancient Snake Commerce and rarely attended auctions.

This unexpected visit left them momentarily unresponsive.

“I’m here to accompany two distinguished guests to participate in the auction. Is there still a vacancy in the Heavenly Box?”

Wang Zhenliu’s tone was authoritative and vastly different from his earlier conversations with Chu Fengmian.

“Yes, yes, there’s a vacancy in Heavenly Box Number Three. I’ll take the esteemed guests there immediately.”

A servant from Ancient Snake Commerce promptly replied.

“No need, I’ll escort the esteemed guests myself this time. Mr. Chu, Miss Liu, please.”

Wang Zhenliu led Chu Fengmian and Liu Yi directly through the crowd, heading towards the auction venue.
