Chapter 2261: Smash Him to Pieces With A Hammer! (1/2)

All the ingredients for concocting a medicinal potion that could accelerate the hatching time of a holy beast egg were naturally rare and precious in any holy grounds. Thus they were not cheap. As Huang Xiaolong roamed the streets on his shopping spree, he had already spent close to two hundred million holy bills.

Huang Xiaolong had long been promoted to a ‘super big fat sheep’ in the eyes of the robbers, who were following him in the dark. Every second, they were fighting their impulse to grab Huang Xiaolong. If there hadn’t been too many people around the trading market, they would have acted by now.

“I still lack a stalk of Nine Dragon Vine!” After spending close to two hundred million holy bills, Huang Xiaolong went over the list of ingredients in his mind. Now, there was only one ingredient left, the Nine Dragon Vine.

The Nine Dragon Vine was a kind of level-five origin treasure, but rarer than most of the other level-five origin treasures.

Huang Xiaolong entered more than a dozen large and small trading houses, but he did not find any Nine Dragon Vine. Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to give up for the day, and he was considering resting, his footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a shop named ‘Real Treasure Pavilion.’

Placed right in the center area of this Real Treasure Pavilion’s front hall was a stalk of spiritual herb that resembles an octopus. It was entirely jade-white in color.

Nine Dragon Vine!

Delight rose to Huang Xiaolong’s face as he took large strides into the Real Treasure Pavilion’s front hall, walking right up to the Nine Dragon Vine.

The length of the Nine Dragon Vine was as tall as two adult men, and each of the nine root vines were as thick as a man’s thigh. Blood-red spiritual qi ran through the entire white stalk-like blood vessels. This blood-red spiritual energy was a kind of holy spiritual qi.

Level-four origin treasures were categorized as mid-rank origin treasures, and some mid-rank origin treasures contained holy spiritual qi. These kinds of origin treasures were the finest quality ingredients and fetched an exorbitant price. Not to mention, such types of level-five origin treasures were pricier when compared to these mid-rank level-four origin treasures.

“This Young Master, this level-five Nine Dragon Vine just arrived at our Blue Sea Real Treasure Pavilion branch two days ago.” A middle-aged man, who seemed to be a supervisor of sorts approached Huang Xiaolong, explaining to him in a reserved but polite smile, “Following our inspection, this stalk of Nine Dragon Vine is over ten billion years old and the holy spiritual qi inside it is abundant.”

The supervisor was about to continue with his sales pitch when Huang Xiaolong interrupted, “How much?”

The supervisor blanked for a split second then his smile blossomed, “Because of this Nine Dragon Vine’s rarity, the price is slightly higher. It’s five hundred million holy bills. This price is personally set by our Branch Master, and we are unable to change it. However, if Young Master is really interested in purchasing this Nine Dragon Vine, we can throw in a bottle of level-three origin spiritual pills for Young Master for free.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded in satisfaction inwardly.

Although five hundred million holy bills was higher than he had estimated, a level-five Nine Dragon Vine that contained holy spiritual qi was worth this price.

As for the free bottle of level-three origin spiritual pills thrown in by the other side was of no concern to Huang Xiaolong. He had more than enough level-five origin spiritual pills.

“Wrap up this Nine Dragon Vine nicely for me.” Huang Xiaolong said and threw a spatial ring to the supervisor, “There are five hundred million holy bills in there.”

The supervisor could not react for a moment as he stared at the five hundred million holy bills that were piled up inside the spatial ring.

“Yes, yes, yes! Young Master, please wait a moment here!” The supervisor soon regained his senses and replied to Huang Xiaolong overenthusiastically, and his smile was several million watts brighter, “I’ll go and wrap up this level-five origin treasure for you nicely!”

After saying that, he personally wrapped up the Nine Dragon Vine for Huang Xiaolong. For a precious rare level-five origin treasure like the Nine Dragon Vine required a special method when packing them, otherwise, the holy spiritual qi within would disperse, and that would be a great loss.

Under the supervisor’s careful but quick wrapping, the Nine Dragon Vine was then placed into a special jade box.

This large jade box was made out of nourishing jade. Just the jade box cost a lot of money.

The trading house’s supervisor personally brought up the Nine Dragon Vine he had just packed up to Huang Xiaolong. With a big smiling face, he informed Huang Xiaolong that he could choose any one bottle of level-three origin spiritual pills that he liked.

Huang Xiaolong collected the jade box containing the Nine Dragon Vine and chose a bottle of level-three origin spiritual pills, and left the Real Treasure Pavilion without lingering around. He went back the way he had come. Since he had gotten everything he wanted, he decided to leave the Spirit Fire Island and return to the Holy Gate headquarters.

Not long after Huang Xiaolong left the Real Treasure Pavilion, a group of people entered.
