1328 Enormous Spending (2/2)
As for the 9th grade immortal artifacts, they were for the top-rank Supremes who were able to unleash their full might.
Tang Xiu then found 7th grade Immortal artifacts based on the label tagged. He observed for some time and then said, ”Battle Peng, Star Tears, you two choose defensive artifacts for yourselves.”
”Understood!”
Both of them were slightly shaken inwardly but quickly picked up a defensive artifact that satisfied them.
Tang Xiu quietly observed the reaming 18 defensive artifacts on display and couldn't help shake his head secretly. Each of these 18 defensive artifacts could withstand the full blow of Perfected Golden Immortals without getting destroyed, though it would still be shattered should it face continuous blows.
”Old Sycamore, I suppose this place also has some 9th grade Immortal artifacts, yes?”
”Yes. There are only three 9th grade defensive artifacts here, and all of them are inside the array. Each one of them is very expensive. I don't think a Perfected Golden Immortal can buy any of them even with all their wealth,” said Old Sycamore.
”Take me there,” said Tang Xiu.
Old Sycamore walked a hundred steps ahead before he stopped at the corner. Then, he casually cast a seal. Immediately after, 3 transparent illuminations suddenly appeared and three items appeared in it.
”Myriad Toad Golden Armor.”
”Celestial Soul Sphere.”
”Nine Thunder Paragon Garb.”
Tang Xiu calmly scrutinized the three 9th grade immortal artifacts. Then, he turned to Old Sycamore and said, ”Notify the person in charge of this place and tell the person to see me.”
”Understood!”
It took only less than 15 minutes for Old Sycamore to leave and come back with the previous aged yet charming beautiful female.
”Honored Patron, have you picked the items you like?”
The beautiful woman glanced at the three-9th grade defensive artifacts and a bizarre light flashed in her eyes when she asked with a smile.
Tang Xiu nodded and said, ”Three defensive artifacts in total. 2 of them are 8th grade and this Nine Thunder Paragon Garb. How much for all of them?”
”This Nine Thunder Paragon Garb is priced at 20 million Crystal Essences, and 12 million Crystal Essences for two 8th grade defensive artifacts—for a total 32 million Crystal Essences. Also, Old Sycamore said you have a deep relationship with him, so I'm giving you a 2-million discount. Thus, you only need 30 million Crystal Essences to pay for them.”
Tang Xiu took out 30 million Crystal Essences and handed it to the beautiful woman. ”Thank you.”
”Well, if you want to thank someone, thank Old Sycamore.” The woman shook her head and smiled. ”Anyway, do you need anything else?”
”I want to buy some Perfected Golden Immortal gladiators. Six of them, to be precise,” said Tang Xiu.
The beautiful woman's expression suddenly changed slightly. She thought Tang Xiu was just an ordinary Immortal. She didn't expect him to have such deep and fearsome financial resources.
”Please follow me.”
The beautiful woman shot a deep look at Tang Xiu before turning and walking away.
Inside another space.
As the group arrived, Tang Xiu saw thousands of cages on both sides, each separated by a kilometer. All levels of gladiators could be seen here from ordinary cultivators to Golden Immortal gladiators. After the woman came to the innermost side with the group, she cast a seal and a vortex portal suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. After they entered it, they saw nine cages forming a circle, and each cage was occupied by a Perfected Golden Immortal gladiator.
”This price…”
Using his spiritual sense to read the price tag on each cell, Tang Xiu's expression slightly changed because the cheapest Perfected Golden Immortal gladiator here was priced at 12 million Crystal Essences, whereas the messy blue-haired woman who sat cross-legged was priced at 21 million Crystal Essences.
”Can the price be discounted?” Tang Xiu looked at the beautiful woman and asked.
The woman shook her head and smilingly replied, ”I'm sorry. This price is already the lowest we can offer. I can only give you a small discount if you really buy six Perfected Golden Immortal gladiators.”
Tang Xiu secretly forced a wry smile inside. All the Immortal Stones, Immortal Crystals, and Crystal Essences he had now were only worth around 60 million Crystal Essences—some of them including those he obtained from the interspatial rings he took from those six Perfected Golden Immortal subordinates of Zither Demon Jiuyao they killed before.
Tang Xiu then looked at Old Sycamore and said, ”Lend me 20 million Crystal Essences. I'll double the repayment a century later.”
Old Sycamore hesitated for a moment and said, ”I do have 20 million Crystal Essences, but why should I believe you?”
Tang Xiu wryly smiled. ”I can't come up with something that can make you believe in me. But if you do have a great relationship with Little Beggar, I think you can lend me the money.”
Old Sycamore scrutinized Tang Xiu for a long while before he threw a ring and lightly said, ”There are 20 million Crystal Essences inside. I don't need you to pay it back double, but I hope you can give an explanation in the future.”
