Chapter 1474: The Apprenticeship Ceremony (1/2)
Looking at the pile of 431,250 top-grade-nine spirit stones on the floor, Sun Shihai’s laughter choked in his throat. So did Liu Qin, Fu Feiyu, and the others’ laughter.
Fu Feiyu was flabbergasted as he looked at Huang Xiaolong. During the rankings competition, he had found out that Huang Xiaolong had one million top-grade-nine spirit stones, but he thought that Huang Xiaolong was simply bluffing and had not expected Huang Xiaolong to be so willing to take out almost half of that to buy twenty-three pieces of low-grade grandmist velocity stones!
Huang Xiaolong flicked his fingers, sending twenty top grade-nine spirit stones towards the supervisory disciple as he said, “These twenty top grade-nine spirit stones are your reward.”
Twenty top grade-nine spirit stones!
The supervisory disciple was beyond delighted in his heart, and beamingly thanked Huang Xiaolong, “Many thanks Martial Uncle!” He swiftly took out the twenty-three low-grade grandmist velocity stones and offered them to Huang Xiaolong with both hands.
That posture was seemingly more respectful than the one he had used towards Sun Shihai… Was it?
A gloomy light glimmered in Sun Shihai’s eyes as he said, “Huang Xiaolong, it seems Chief of Hall Masters Zhao Lei really dotes on you.” In other words, Sun Shihai was claiming that Huang Xiaolong’s top grade-nine spirit stones were given by Chief of Hall Masters Zhao Lei.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t mind Sun Shihai’s words at all, in truth, he ignored Sun Shihai as he did most of the time. He asked the supervisory disciple, “Are there any true dragon’s wings here in the Myriad Treasure Palace?”
The true dragon’s wings were also one of the essential materials required to repair his Dragon Shark Flying Ship.
However, the true dragon’s wings were rarer than the low-grade grandmist velocity stones. So in truth, Huang Xiaolong was only asking about this item with very little hope, not expecting the Myriad Treasure Palace to have it.
But who knew the supervisory disciple actually answered positively, “Martial Uncle wants to buy true dragon’s wings? It’s really a coincidence, as our Hall Master happened to obtain two pairs of true dragon’s wings recently, however, these two pairs of true dragon’s wings are much more expensive than the low-grade grandmist velocity stones.”
Hearing this, Huang Xiaolong was delighted, despite the last part of the supervisory disciple’s sentence. ‘There really are true dragon’s wings! Two pairs, even better!’
“How much?” Huang Xiaolong asked, sounding a little urgent.
The supervisory disciple swiftly replied, “If Martial Uncle is paying with top-grade-nine spirit stones, then one pair of true dragon’s wings would cost 2.4 million.”
2.4 million top grade-nine spirit stones!
Liu Qin, Fu Feiyu, Zhou Wen, and the others’ shuddered hearing that figure.
2.4 million top-grade-nine spirit stones were equivalent to over three hundred million low-grade-eight spirit stones in exchange rate!
More than three hundred million!
One of the disciples in Sun Shihai’s group could even feel his knees going soft.
“I want both pairs of true dragon’s wings!” Right at this point, Huang Xiaolong’s voice sounded. Then, he flickered his fingers and numerous spirit stones rained down once more from the air. The whole inner hall was shaking with the impact.
All of them were top-grade-nine spirit stones!
As these top-grade-nine spirit stones accumulated in the inner hall, rich spiritual energy flooded outwards to the outer hall.
Liu Qin, Fu Feiyu, and others in the inner hall nearly choked themselves due to the sudden abundance of spiritual energy.
“4.8 million top grade-nine spirit stones.” Huang Xiaolong stated, then asked the supervisory disciple, “Where are the two pairs of true dragon’s wings?”
But the supervisory disciple continued to stare stupidly at the great pile of 4.8 million top-grade-nine spirit stones, seemingly unable to hear Huang Xiaolong’s question at all.
Helpless, Huang Xiaolong could only ask a second time.
The supervisory disciple came to his senses in a shudder. Suppressing the astonishment in his heart, he respectfully answered Huang Xiaolong, “Martial Uncle, please come with me.” After saying this, he led Huang Xiaolong towards the several grids at the end of the inner hall.
Within one of these grid spaces there was a dragon-patterned spatial ring.
