953 You Won’t Be Disappointed (1/2)
Yun Yang's expression turned solemn as well even as he replied in a light-hearted tone, ”I understand the league's well-intended sincerity. I can't make any guarantees regarding the transaction and anything related to it. Even if I do, it would only be an empty promise. Everything can only be made certain after I enter the Spirit's Grave. What I can bring along, however, isn't up to me. I hope you understand, Elder Feng, but I'm also confident that anything I retrieve from the Spirit's Grave will definitely not disappoint the General Commerce League.”
”That would be best,” Feng Guohai answered grimly.
He took out a spatial ring and continued softly, ”Take a look for yourself. Never mind the ten mystical steel pieces, but some of the heaven and earth resources can't be exposed.”
”I understand,” Yun Yang replied and accepted the ring.
”The three heaven and earth resources are basically plants, Ghoul Ginseng aged for twenty thousand years, seventeen thousand years old Ghost Lingzhi, and Rootless Lotus which is fifteen thousand years old. Any one of these is at least ten times more valuable than the ten thousand years old Blood Ginseng you previously obtained.”
Feng Guohai's words elated Yun Yang.
The Ghoul Ginseng and Ghost Lingzhi were known rare items of fantasy, but the Rootless Lotus was even more difficult to procure!
The Rootless Lotus had never had a fixed place to grow or reside; it grew randomly and floated in midair, from its birth to its maturity. This was how it came by its name. It was also due to this characteristic of the lotus that made it so rare. If it were not for its trait of staying some time where the spiritual Qi was unusually rich, it might not even he discovered and remain unplucked forever!
When the Rootless Lotus absorbed enough nutrients, it would go back to hovering at a high altitude and drifting along wherever the wind took it until it found another spiritual Qi-rich location. As it appeared at the spot, that was the only chance to seize the lotus!
Due to this unique feature, the Rootless Lotus was rarely more than a thousand years old. After all, ace cultivators were frequent visitors of places where spiritual Qi was teeming. Once the lotus was discovered, most of the fated ones would pluck it immediately, as the probability of the same cultivator meeting the same lotus at a different point of his life was practically nil. There was no such thing as temporarily giving up and waiting for the lotus to mature further.
This also caused a fifteen thousand-year-old Rootless Lotus to be the legend of legends. It was, in essence, a valueless gem.
Yun Yang was more than delighted after scanning the goods inside the spatial ring, saying gleefully, ”This offering will definitely be a perfect pass! I have confidence that our efforts will pay off.”
Xiao Yushu reminded him, ”Don't be excited too early. We need a significant amount of items in exchange; such is a fair trade.”
”You won't be disappointed!” Yun Yang chuckled.
The General Commerce League was lavish in preparing this transaction. Aside from the three plants of fantasy, the ten mystical steel pieces overjoyed Yun Yang as well. The Stellar Steels and siderites were not the rarest but they were solidly sublime and had extraordinary value.
What surprised Yun Yang the most was two pieces of dark golden steel.
” Is this Celestial Mystical Gold?” Yun Yang's eyes glowed with wonder.
Emmie, who was in the deific consciousness space, was very much agitated and salivating, waving its tendrils anxiously, its sprouts pulsating urgently. The three spiritual herbs were incomparably attractive to Emmie; the little creature could not help itself, fully intending to bypass Yun Yang and devour the plants.
