Chapter 175 (2/2)
”Darn fatty? Cheh, you don't understand, this darn fatty which you are talking about had created many miracles. He first killed Tu QianCheng, and shocked the world. Then, he fought a dozen of cultivators with similar cultivations to his. Engaging them in a bitter battle for a night, he still managed to protect Han Bing'er. Following that, he unleashed his might at the finale, killing 2 JinDan and injuring a YuanYing cultivator. In that single attack, he forced the devil cultivators to retreat! Because of this, his bounty is a 5th grade magical artifact!
”Woah, that means that we can get a 5th grade magical artifact by killing him?”
”That's easy to say, but difficult to do! It is said that he has an extremely close relations.h.i.+p with the sect master. He may even be the son-in-law of the sect master. There will be an endless stream of trouble if we were to kill such a person!”
Even when everyone was discussing about him discreetly, Little Fatty simply walked up to the jade wall, pretending that he did not know what was going on while viewing the treasures listed on the wall.
This Treasure Trading Pavilion indeed lived up to its reputation. In just a short while, Little Fatty had already found a dozen of the high grade materials which he needed. Some of these materials required spiritual stones, while the others required him to use a magical artifact or other high grade materials to trade for.
Little Fatty first used a large amount of spiritual stones to buy 3 of the materials. Then, he started to look at the other materials which he did not have the corresponding item to trade with. At this moment, another advantage of the Treasure Trading Pavilion surfaced, cross trading.
For instance, despite the fact that Little Fatty did not have the required materials, he was able to use the five element pure water to get those materials from another person before trading for what he wanted. Through this, everyone would be able to get what they want. Of course, not everything can be obtained so easily. Some items needed to be traded for over 10 times. Sometimes, there just isn't a way to trade for the items because of one or two missing items in the chain.
Finally, after half a day of work, Little Fatty had obtained 80% of what he needed, with only 5 or 6 materials left un.o.btained.
At least something like that would not trouble Little Fatty too much because of the popular five element pure water he had on his hands. This was something which most high grade elixirs required if one wanted to improve the success rate of the elixirs. Due to the difficulty of making it, rarity of the item and high volume of usage, the five element pure water is extremely popular. He did not need to worry that it would not be sold, and was a much better bargaining chip than spiritual stones.
With this item, Little Fatty had the ability to contact the various parties through the Treasure Trading Pavilion. He was willing to use the five element pure water to trade with them, and even offered them a price which was up to twice the market rate.
Facing such a good bargain, all these cultivators naturally agreed quickly. In just 4 to 6 hours, Little Fatty had already gathered all of the materials he need. In fact, most of time was wasted on the time taken to send and receive information.
Although Little Fatty splurged greatly this time, he did not feel the heartache. Anyway, he could obtain the five element pure water so easily, so he did not feel much of a heartache about it.
Another point worth mentioning was that all trades conducted within the Treasure Trading Pavilion was done in a private room upstairs. Apart from the people in charge of the Treasure Trading Pavilion, no one else knew that Little Fatty took in so many goods all at once. Thus, as long as the Treasure Trading Pavilion did not spread the news, Little Fatty's secret could still be safe.
With the reputation of the Treasure Trading Pavilion, they would not be bothered to plot against a foundational rookie like him. Thus, Little Fatty was still rather a.s.sured about his own safety.
Besides that, there was another small surprise which gave Little Fatty an unexpected surprise. The Treasure Trading Pavilion displayed their interest towards Little Fatty because of his large spending today and gave him a VIP pa.s.s.
With it, the fee charged for listing information would be decreased by 20%. Furthermore, he would have the chance to partic.i.p.ate in the auction which happens every decade. Usually, only after spending a certain amount will the Treasure Trading Pavilion hand out such privileges.
Although Little Fatty did not hit that amount today, from the way he appeared to be so calm and indifferent towards handling those high grade materials, the Treasure Trading Pavilion immediately determined that he was a fat sheep for them to fleece. Thus, they decided to make an exception to give him a VIP pa.s.s.
This unexpected gain of course excited Little Fatty, but he did not allow them to bait him any further. He carefully rejected their request to continue shopping here but walked towards the transportation portal of Firmament City, preparing to go back to take a nap.
However, just before Little Fatty reached the transportation portal, he was stopped by a middle aged man. This guy was even stronger than Little Fatty, at least of the mid foundational stage. He looked to be extremely pale and had a cunning look on his face, making anyone who see him feel disgusted.
After stopping Little Fatty, he let out crafty laughter and said, ”Is this junior brother the famous SongZhong from the Mystical Sky Yard, the Lightning Finger?”
”You're too kind, it is I, SongZhong!” Seeing how polite the other party was, it wouldn't be good for him to be too rude. Thus, he also asked, ”I wonder who senior brother is?”
”Haha, I am just a loose cultivator, a n.o.body. If junior brother wish to, you can call me fellow daoist Han!” Senior brother Han immediately said with an apologetic laughter.
”So it is fellow daoist Han, I've been rude!” Little Fatty cupped his hands before asking in a frown, ”I wonder why senior brother Han is blocking my way, do you have anything to want to bestow upon me?”
”Hehe, I have nothing that I can bestow you with. I only want to make a business deal with junior brother!” Senior brother Han said with a cunning laughter.
”I'm sorry, I am not a merchant and do not do business! Farewell!” The moment Little Fatty heard that, he immediately rejected it without hesitation. Now that he was so high profile, he was careful to make sure that he would not attract trouble to himself. How would he make a business deal with a person of unknown origins? Thus, he immediately rejected it without a second thought.
Finis.h.i.+ng his words, Little Fatty was about to walk around him. But, he never expected that this senior brother took a step to his side and blocked Little Fatty again, ”Hehe, junior brother Song, why are you leaving before hearing me out? This business deal is something which you are definitely interested in!”
”Impossible!” Little Fatty replied coldly, ”I am not interested in any deals right now!”
”Really?” Senior brother Han sneered and said softly, ”Don't tell me you are not interested in the remains of your parents?”
”What?” As Little Fatty heard that, he was immediately startled. His parents had been missing for 20 years already and there was completely no news of them. But today, a stranger mentioned this matter. Naturally, he was startled as he hurriedly asked, ”Where are the remains of my parents?”
