Chapter 398 (2/2)

...

Xiang Shaoyun was completely stunned. Generally speaking, a stalk of low-grade king medicine was worth around 500 mid-grade spirit crystals. Although soul medicines were more expensive due to their rarity, it still wouldn't reach a price of 5,000 low-grade spirit crystals. This was much higher than the regular market price for these herbs.

The hostess was able to guess what was on Xiang Shaoyun's mind. She offered an explanation, ”A lot of people adventuring in the Devil Domain will be polluted by devilish aura. Only by using soul medicines will they be able to maintain their sanity. Therefore, soul medicines are much more expensive here. I would like to make it known that you have arrived at a fortunate timing, sir. These herbs were freshly delivered and will sell out soon.”

Xiang Shaoyun was. .h.i.t by a realization after hearing the explanation. Something's demand would determine its value. This was a battlefield with the devils. Thus, these soul medicines would naturally have a higher value here.

”Understood. I'll take them all,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Y-you want all of them?” It was the hostess who was shocked this time.

There were five soul medicines here, totaling several hundred thousand spirit crystals in value. Not even an Emperor could take out such wealth easily. Yet a young man was going to buy them all at once. She found that difficult to believe.

”Is there a problem?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”No, of course not. This way to make your payment, please.” The hostess quickly recovered from her shock. She had seen all sorts of people in the Bloodsin City, and she concluded that he was probably a young master from some organization.

At this time, a voice rang out behind Xiang Shaoyun, ”We are taking these soul medicines!”

Both Xiang Shaoyun and the hostess blanked out before turning around. A few people wearing dreadful-looking masks were standing there. The group was led by a woman who was wearing an armor that put half her bountiful chest on display. She made no attempt whatsoever to hide her perfect figure. A dense baleful aura emanated from them, and combined with the dreadful masks they were wearing, they gave off a sinister sensation.

”I'm sorry. This young master is already making the purchase, so I won't be able to sell you the herbs,” explained the hostess in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.

The woman leading the group did not dare to create trouble for the store. Instead, she looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, ”Give up on these herbs and p.i.s.s off.”

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. ”What if I say no?”

”Hehe, he actually dares disrespect our Ghostface Sect. Very well. The moment you step out of this store, you will die right on the streets,” said the woman with a sneer before departing the store.

”Ghostface Sect?” Xiang Shaoyun muttered, a somewhat worried look appeared on his face.

He had learned from Badar that the Ghostface Sect was one of the strongest organizations in the city after the five strongest organizations. They even had Sovereigns among their ranks.

”Young master, this way to pay, please,” the hostess said.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded and followed her.
