Chapter 669: Seaside Trade Union
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
When Mo Wuji walked into the first level hall of Seaside Trade Union, he thought that he had walked into a modern office building.
The first level hall was very spacious, and towards the interior, there were a row of counters. There weren’t items on sale on these counters. Instead, there were various signs. For example, there was the Sea Commodity Trade Counter, the Grain Trade Counter, the Fishing Gear Trade Counter, etc.
Within every counter, there was a sales attendant. Behind the counter was a door that led to a different room.
Such a clear demarcation ostensibly had a huge effect on their efficiency.
Within the hall, there were several people waiting for their turn. Mo Wuji listened in to their conversations briefly and he found that most of them were doing wholesale.
On the path towards the second floor, there was a huge sign. The sign wrote: Immortal Crystal Trade and Treasure Trade on the 2nd Floor.
”Is this friend interested in a trade?” Noticing Mo Wuji wait at the second floor sign for a long time, a sales attendant approached him.
Mo Wuji said, ”Is your manager here? I want to ask about how to trade immortal crystals.”
Immortal crystal trade? When this sales attendant heard Mo Wuji’s words, he jolted slightly, then he hurriedly said, ”Friend, not everything can be traded for immortal crystals. Why don’t you let me take a look at your item first? If it’s truly worth it, then I can bring you to the second floor.”
Mo Wuji’s face sunk, ”What kind of thing are you? You dare to see my precious? Go call your boss. If he doesn’t come, don’t blame me for finding some other person to trade with.”
As Mo Wuji was speaking, he had already sent his spiritual will throughout Seaside Trade Union. As expected, Seaside Trade Union was filled with different spiritual will inhibiting seals. Not only was the spiritual will unable to invade the second floor, it wasn’t even able to penetrate into the ground.
”What’s your precious?” A low voice sounded over. Thereafter, a middle-aged man in golden robes walked over.
This was a late stage Heavenly Immortal. Mo Wuji didn’t even need to use his spiritual will to discern this middle-aged man’s cultivation.
”Who are you?” Mo Wuji asked.
The sales attendant hurriedly said, ”This is our Seaside Trade Union’s Deacon Wu. The immortal crystal trade on the second floor is managed by Deacon Wu.”
Mo Wuji casually took out a Tier 4 immortal herb, a Green Perch Wood, and said, ”This is an immortal herb that I managed to obtain. I’m not too sure what tier it is, but I know that it releases a comfortable sensation when I hold it in my hand. Clearly, it is not simple.”
Seeing Mo Wuji’s Green Perch Wood, this Deacon Wu’s eyes shone. Immediately, he nodded calmly, ”That’s right. This is indeed a Tier 2 immortal herb, the Green Spiritual Grass. It can be exchanged for immortal crystals. Follow me up then.
Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. This fella was truly shameless, a Tier 4 immortal herb had been instantly reduced to being a mere Tier 2 herb. Moreover, the Green Perch Wood was a pretty good Tier 4 immortal herb. This herb could be used to concoct the Deadwood Pill. The Deadwood Pill was a cosmetic pill. After using the pill, your facial appearance wouldn’t change.
Even to immortals, it was a rather valuable pill. As for the Tier 2 Green Spiritual Grass, Mo Wuji had never heard of such a herb even though he was already a Tier 8 Pill Emperor.
”I’m not selling this immortal herb. I just want to exchange it for two people.” Mo Wuji placed the Green Perch Wood back in his pocket. When he did that, his hand trembled slightly, making it seem as though he was feeling afraid.
When Deacon Wu saw Mo Wuji’s actions, he frowned slightly and said impatiently, ”Exchange for who?”
”My Grandpa Yu Cheng and my sister-in-law Lian Yingxian,” Yu Jingfeng, who was behind Mo Wuji, said hurriedly.
Deacon Wu’s face sunk. His tone immediately turned cold as he said, ”The two of them have committed a grave crime. We are temporarily unable to allow them to leave Seaside Trade Union.”
”Then Lord Immortal Master, can you allow us to see them?” Mo Wuji asked in a seemingly worried tone.
Deacon Wu suddenly revealed a smile, ”Of course you can. Our Seaside Trade Union is a reasonable place. Moreover, Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian wouldn’t be confined for long. Once we complete our investigation, we will let them off.”
”Then we will have to trouble Lord Immortal Master to lead the way.” Mo Wuji smiled fearfully.
”Alright, then follow me.” Deacon Wu didn’t say anything further as he started walking.
Mo Wui was clear about what was on this Deacon Wu’s mind: he wanted to lead them to Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian, before bringing them away and taking his Green Perch Wood. However, he acted ignorant as he brought Yu Jingfeng to follow Deacon Wu in.
After a few minutes, Deacon Wu had brought them in front of the deepest room in the building. Then, he opened the door.
The moment they entered the room, Mo Wuji saw a seal. Deacon Wu then took out a jade token and tapped on the seal.
A dull and gloomy staircase appeared in the center of the room. Deacon Wu casually said to Mo Wuji and Yu Jingfeng, ”There’re down there. Follow me then.”
As they headed down the staircase, the air got increasingly moist. After walking for two whole minutes, they finally arrived in an underground prison.
There wasn’t any spiritual will inhibiting seals in this place. With a quick sweep, one could see that there were tens of steel jail cells, and almost all these cells were housing prisoners.
