Chapter 1320: Veiled Girl
Chapter 1320: Veiled Girl
The most prosperous street in Guang Han City was in the center of the city. Most of the large shops in the city were also concentrated here.
Liu Ming glanced across the tall shops. After a quarter of an hour of shopping, he stopped and looked at a rather magnificent building not far away. The plaque on the pavilion was written in gold lacquer. Three big characters – “Xingxinglou”.
From the outside, this shop sold various spiritual materials, ores and other raw materials.
Although it was very late at this moment, people still came in and out of the Xi Xing Shop from time to time. Most of the people who came out looked satisfied and excited. They obviously gained a lot from the shop.
After Liu Ming stayed at the door for a while, he walked in.
The layout inside the store looked very spacious with many counters. all of which were made of dark red wood.
Liu Ming took a second look and recognized this kind of wood. It was a kind of high-quality spiritual material called red heart wood in the Thousands Demons Continent. It was very valuable. This Xi Xing Shop actually used it to make furniture.
The goods on each counter were orderly categorized according to different types of ore, beastkin material, spiritual grass, etc.
Behind each counter stood a few demon servants in white robes, patiently answering every guest who came to ask questions.
Liu Ming turned around and came to a counter that sold ores. Behind the counter were 2 demon girls in white robes.
As soon as they saw Liu Ming approaching, a girl with an oval face showed a sweet smile,
“Senior, what ore do you need? There are thousands of kinds of spiritual ores in our shop. You will definitely be able to find what you need.”
Liu Ming smiled and handed a jade slip to the girl.
The girl happily took it with both hands respectfully. When she checked with Divine Thought, she had a look of surprise.
“Our shop has everything senior needs, but the requested quantity is too many. I can’t decide on it. Please wait a moment, senior. I’ll go and ask the shopkeeper to come over.” The girl handed the jade slip back to Liu Ming with both hands, bowed, and said with a solemn face.
Liu Ming nodded lightly.
The girl bowed at Liu Ming again, then she walked quickly inside the shop.
A moment later, a young woman in a plain robe came out. This woman was tall and slender with well-proportioned figure. Her appearance was quite beautiful, but her lips and nails were dark purple, which looked a little unpleasant.
The plain robe she was wearing was embroidered with black petals. There was a little bit of black light as she walked. It seemed that it was not an ordinary dress, but a spiritual power illusion. A faint Celestial State spiritual pressure emanated from it.
Liu Ming’s gaze flashed. This young woman in plain robes was clearly a demon at the Celestial State intermediate stage with a rather deep spiritual power.
He smiled with an indifferent look.
Seeing Liu Ming’s expression, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the young woman in a plain robe.
Just now she intentionally showed her own strength, thinking that she could suppress Liu Ming a bit, but Liu Ming seemed unmoved.
This was a common method used by large stores. When they saw big business coming, they would usually send some powerhouses to negotiate business. In this way, the other party would feel a little scrupulous, and the store would easily grasp the initiative.
“I’m You Ji of the Xi Xing Shop. Sir has a new face. It should be your first time coming to the Xi Xing Shop right? Please come in to have a talk.” Seeing that Liu Ming couldn’t be suppressed, the young woman in a plain robe had no choice but to speak.
Liu Ming smiled faintly, nodded, and walked toward the inner hall with the young woman in a plain robe. Now he could face the mighty Mystic Comprehending State head-on, so he of course wouldn’t care about a Celestial State demon.
After a while, they came to an elegant hall.
The young woman in a plain robe made a pot of spiritual tea by herself. A faint fragrance spread out.
“This is the mist tea from our Xi Xing Shop. Please have a taste.” The young woman poured a cup for Liu Ming.
Liu Ming took a sip and nodded.
“I haven’t had time to ask the name of sir. May I know how should I address you?” The young woman asked with a slight smile.
“My surname is Ye.” Liu Ming said flatly.
“It’s Mr. Ye. I have already heard from Xue Qin that sir wants a large number of spiritual materials.” The young woman in a plain robe saw that Liu Ming didn’t seem to want to talk more, so she didn’t continue talking nonsense and went straight to the point.
“Yes.” Liu Ming handed that jade slip to the young woman in a plain robe.
The young woman in a plain robe read the jade slip with Divine Thought, and she was slightly startled.
“Flame heart jade, ironized stone, dry moon paulownia wood… are not considered scarce items, but the quantity you want is quite a lot. Even our Xi Xing Shop will not be able to make up such a large amount in a short while, so we need to allocate it. If Mr. Ye is fine, why don’t you just sit here for a while, at most an hour, and you will be able to get everything you need.” The young woman in a plain robe put down the jade slip and said.
Hearing this, Liu Ming pondered for a moment and nodded.
The young woman in a plain robe was at ease. Liu Ming required a huge amount of materials, which was a big deal. She would get a lot of benefits if she closed the deal.
The young woman apologized to Liu Ming and walked out quickly.
Liu Ming sat in the side hall for a while, feeling a little bored. In such a strange place, it was impossible for him to meditate. After sitting for a while, he stood up, walked out of the side hall, and soon came to the shop lobby in front again.
There were no customers in the shop right now, so Liu Ming wandered around the various counters in the shop.
Xi Xing Shop was indeed the largest shop in Guang Han City. Liu Ming found a lot of precious spiritual materials, which had a lot of effect on the improvement of Celestial State demon’s spiritual power.
“Eh!” Liu Ming walked near a counter, and Mo Tian suddenly let out a curious sound.
“What’s the matter?” Liu Ming stopped and asked through sound transmission.
“The piece of black wood on this counter is a very rare blood heart wood. I never expected to find it here. Boy Liu, buy it for me.” Mo Tian said with some joy.
Hearing this, Liu Ming turned his head to look at the counter beside. His eyes swept at a dry black wood at the corner of the counter.
The black wood was about the thickness of an arm and half a foot long. There were dry cracks on it. It looked like an ordinary piece of dead wood. Even with Liu Ming’s eyesight, he couldn’t see anything special about it.
“This one?” Liu Ming asked Mo Tian in his mind and was about to take the piece of black wood.
At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind came, and a hand like a white jade grabbed the black wood before Liu Ming.
Liu Ming was shocked. When he turned to look, a woman in a black robe came by the counter, looking at the black wood in her hand with a hint of joy.
The girl in a black robe had a black veil on her face, so he couldn’t see her face clearly, but her eyes were black and white. She should be a young girl.
Although the girl in a black robe concealed her cultivation with mystic art, Liu Ming’s mental power at the moment was comparable to the Mystic Comprehending State. At a glance, he could see through the girl’s cultivation. She was also in the Celestial State realm, but it seemed that she had just entered the Celestial State. Her spiritual power was still a little unstable.
“Miss, I was the one who wants this piece of black wood first. It seems improper for you to snatch it away without saying a word.” Liu Ming said with a serious face.
“Hehe, although sir wants this piece of blood heart wood first, you are just too slow, so you can’t blame me for that.” The veiled girl in a black robe laughed. Her voice was like a silver bell, quite crisp and pleasant.
After the woman finished speaking, she ignored Liu Ming and asked the young demon in a white robe behind the counter,
“I want this piece of wood. How many demonic crystals?”
“5,000 demonic crystals.” The young man in a white robe looked at the blood heart wood in the girl’s hand and quoted without hesitation.
“I offer 10,000 demonic crystals. Sell this to me.” Liu Ming said suddenly.
“Senior, I’m really sorry. Our shop is not an auction house. This miss got the item first. Unless she voluntarily gives up, our shop cannot resell to anyone else.” The young man in a white robe glanced at Liu Ming apologetically and said so.
Liu Ming’s expression turned gloomy when he heard this, then his eyes moved and stopped his action.
The girl in a black robe glanced at Liu Ming proudly, took out a small bag of demonic crystals, handed it to the young man in a white robe, put away the black wood, and walked into the shop.
“Senior Mo Tian, why did you suddenly give up that black wood?” Liu Ming asked Mo Tian through sound transmission.
“Boy Liu, don’t be impatient. I’m determined to get that blood heart wood. I need to use it in the Demon Abyss realm, but now is not a good time. I will find a way to get back that blood heart wood later.” Mo Tian smiled faintly before saying mysteriously.
Liu Ming frowned. He was used to Mo Tian’s mysterious attitude, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
But after such an incident, he didn’t have any interest in strolling around, so he returned to the side hall before.
Half an hour later, the young woman in a plain robe came in with a faint smile.
“It took a lot of work, but I finally got the amount that Mr. Ye needs. Please check it.” The young woman in a plain robe took out a few storage talismans and placed them on the table in front of Liu Ming.
Liu Ming took several storage talismans and checked them one by one. After a while, he nodded with a smile.
“Yes, the quantity is indeed sufficient, and the quality of the spiritual materials is also very good.” He nodded in satisfaction.
“As long sir is satisfied.” The young woman in a plain robe covered her mouth with a smile.
“How many demonic crystals?” Liu Ming pointed at the table and asked.
The young woman in a plain robe pondered for a while and quoted a slightly high price.
Liu Ming still had plenty of demonic crystals now, so he didn’t care about such an amount at all. However, to avoid unnecessary troubles, he still negotiated a little.
The young woman in a plain robe didn’t insist too much and accepted the deal.
Liu Ming immediately waved his hand, and a small pile of high-grade demonic crystals appeared on the table.
The eyes of the young woman in a plain robe showed a hint of joy. The 2 parties quickly completed the deal in satisfaction.
After the deal was completed, Liu Ming didn’t stay in the Xi Xing Shop any longer.
When passing by, the veiled girl in a black robe from before was still browsing in the shop.
After he glanced at her, he walked out of the Xi Xing Shop. Instead of leaving immediately, he came to a teahouse not far away and sat down on the second floor by the window.
