Chapter 959: Imperial Treasury
“To slay the monsters and demons? No wonder you are Elder Yang. I am impressed,” Lord Merciless said with sincere admiration. No matter what, Mo Wen belongs to the Huatian Palace. If he had brazenly killed him based on his grudge, he would probably be in a lot of trouble. But if he was killed in an effort to slay the monsters and demons, then that would be another matter. Then, the killing would represent justice, the Huatian Palace, and protecting the Huatian Palace. So even if the wrong person was killed, the Huatian Palace couldn’t possibly blame them for it.
If this were true, it would harden the hearts of all the sects that protect the Huatian Palace.
This move of Elder Yang’s was rather brilliant.
“We must kill Mo Wen before the Huatian Palace’s law enforcement ambassador gets here,” Lord Merciless said as he clenched his fist fiercely.
“Merciless, Mo Wen has already attained an unbelievable level. The State Preceptor Fang is also a monk in the early stage of the Primordial Soul Realm, yet he was easily defeated. Even the Chuan Country Jade Seal was useless against him. So we are powerless to kill him. We can only ask the Temple Leader and a few Sect Grand Elders to take him on. But don’t ask this person, since he started a feud with our Blood Evil Temple, it would become a disaster in the future, besides, the Temple Leader will surely not keep him, ” Yang Zonglin said slowly. Such great power in such a young man rightfully causes immense fear in people. If he can’t be removed, the future will be extremely worrisome.
“Rest assured Elder Yang, I will personally ask my father about this matter.” Lord Merciless turned and walked out of the Great Elder Mansion, the expression on his face frightfully cold. This disgrace of Dragon City he would get it back hundreds and thousands of times over.
…
Mo Wen stayed in Li’an City with leisure and immersed himself in its ancient city. He discovered a large number of practitioners living in the city, besides ordinary citizens. Culturally steeped in martial arts, most everyone practiced self-cultivation, so cultivation resources were exceptionally abundant with many shops geared towards the needs of the practitioners.
Moreover, in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, there were some well-known chambers of commerce, such as the Imperial Treasury, which was the chamber of commerce in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. It was said that its business spreads all over the world, so if placed in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, it would be ranked in the top three. Even inside the inner worlds were full of Imperial Treasury’s businesses.
In Dragon City, Mo Wen had seen the Imperial Treasury’s enormous wealth in Treasure Hall. To this day, he still remembered the inner armor with a price tag of over 2,000,000 spiritual stones. Unfortunately, he just looked because he couldn’t afford it at the time.
Others cannot have their shops in Treasure Hall. Even the elders of the Huatian Palace did not have this privilege. However, the Imperial Treasury was able to have their shops there, which showed how powerful it was.
It was said that most of the practitioners in the Imperial Treasury were proficient in a variety of side practices, such as weapon refinery, alchemy, stratagem, puppet mastery, spell talisman, divination, etc., all very productive. Therefore, all sorts of treasures could be had, and as long as you had the money, you could buy anything.
Moreover, it had always been said that there was a share of the Huatian Palace behind the Imperial Treasury. On the surface, it was just a chamber of commerce, but its background was amazing. There was an older gentleman with great power from the Tide Changing Realm. Due to momentary greed, he snatched an important treasure from the Treasury, and within three days, he was killed and his body hung on the tower for all to see.
As the provincial capital, Li’an City had a shop in the Imperial Treasury, and it was the only shop for 1,000 miles that sold the highest level of treasures.
On this day, Mo Wen wandered inside the Imperial Treasury. Its six-story loft, covered in magnificently painted and carved beams. Treasures on each floor were different in grade–the higher the floor, the more precious the treasures.
However, ordinary people could not access the upper floors. Only those investors who could afford them got to see the treasures the upper floors held.
Mo Wen strolled around the five floors of the Imperial Treasury. There were indeed a lot of cultivation products of all types. From body consolidation to infinite powerhouse to the training treasures used by warriors, they were all for sale here. Precious and rare medicines, such as vigor consolidating pills and vigor multiplying pills were everywhere.
Those who came from Peng Lai Immortal Realm were far stronger than those from the inner world.
If the warriors or sects of the inner world wanted these things, they had to redeem them in either the Huatian Palace or purchase them from a mysterious chamber of commerce that was like the Imperial Treasury. Not only was this process complicated, but there were far fewer options, and the prices were 10 times higher than the Peng Lai Immortal Realm…
“Places that lag will only get worse,” Mo Wen shook his head and sighed. Outside warriors were no match to the warriors of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. That mysterious, profound level weapon of inner armor he saw in Dragon City if placed in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, could be purchased for 300,000 or 500,000 spiritual stones.
Of course, at this time, for Mo Wen, that inner armor no longer held much value. His own body was now the strongest of armor–ordinary armor just couldn’t compare.
Just as Mo Wen was strolling aimlessly, a woman dressed in palace attire came out and walked by Mo Wen with a slight smile, “Presumably, your excellency is the enthusiastic teenager who caused a raucous in Li’an City. I am Yulan, the shop owner of the Imperial Treasury. ”
The woman behaved decently, smiled cleverly, and had an affecting temperament. But she was not humble in words or deeds. It seemed that she did not have much awe for the power Mo Wen possessed in the Primordial Soul Realm, which imperceptibly made him think more highly of her.
Teenager? Mo Wen smiled. In the world of the practitioners, the one who mastered the art became the teacher. Only the strong were respected, and only those who broke through the great realm became a senior, which was to show the respect and awe of the high realm. Moreover, Mo Wen appeared to be just a teenager. However, the youth retaining technique had always been popular in the practice world. What was the true age? No one could say unless they checked his bones for age spots.
“They say people who do business are blessed with the most ‘discernment.’ May I ask how you recognized me, proprietress Yulan?” Mo Wen looked at this woman slightly surprised. This woman seemed outstanding, dignified, and well cultivated. That was the realm of Martial Arts
However, ordinary Martial Artists could not see through him during the battle a few days ago, not even the ordinary Infinite Powerhouse could do it, let alone this woman. After all, it was too far away at the time, and his power hid his identity from others. Without the knowledge of the Primordial Soul Realm Cultivator, it would be almost impossible to see him clearly from afar.
“Sir, your look is clear and unique, extraordinary with a temperament that is different from other ordinary people. So naturally, you can be recognized at a glance,” Yulan laughed.
“Proprietress Yulan, you know how to joke.”
Obviously, Yulan was not going to speak the truth, but no matter, Mo Wen had no desire to inquire further.
“The Imperial Treasury of Li’an City is merely a small branch. I am afraid its content will not interest you. If you’re interested, you can go to the sixth floor. We don’t have priceless treasures here, but there may be a few gadgets that you might find useful, ” Yulan said with a smile. As a businesswoman, the most important thing was to do business. Naturally, the reason she came to find this teenager was because of his purchasing power. Any Primordial Soul Realm Cultivator would have plenty of capital.
“I am indeed that raucous-causing, wicked crook from the city. Are you not afraid to get in trouble for doing business with me?” Mo Wen asked playfully.
Yulan smiled calmly, “From what I see, you’re not evil. Those vulgar people surely like to spread rumors. What’s more, even if you are evil, as long as its business, we at the Imperial Treasury will happily partake, because there is no business the Imperial Treasury won’t do. ”
Mo Wen thought with surprise, “This Imperial Treasury is no simple place. They dare to take on businesses with the evil and the crooked. It seems that there is no worry about Huatian Palace. Is there any mysterious force behind protecting it? Yulan’s words had a sense of pride that cannot be masked, and this pride perfectly showcased the distinctiveness and the status of the. Imperial Treasury”
“Let’s go up and see.” Mo Wen said with interest. The sixth floor of the Imperial Treasury was where the most valuable goods were placed. Since the Imperial Treasury’s reputation was so spectacular, none of their goods should be bad.
On the sixth floor, just as Yulan said, there were indeed many treasures, even those that held a great attraction to the Primordial Soul Realm Cultivators. Such as the pills that increased the repair time of the Primordial Soul Realm Cultivators. And the Stratagem Weapon Plate that could siege or even kill the Primordial Soul Realm Cultivators. Or the spiritual talisman equivalent to the power of the Primordial Soul Realm Cultivators…
However, for Mo Wen, these things held no attraction. He had never lacked pills. As for the Stratagem Weapon Plate, this type of thing was suitable for defensive war tactics or protecting the sect stronghold. In a normal fight between monks, it was of no use. Except for those mysterious ancient stratagems, how could such things be sold in a small shop?
As for the ordinary profound-level weapons, he naturally had no interest. He had the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear at hand, those ordinary profound-level weapons were not very useful to him unless the weapon was quite special and the treasures were a similar grade as the spiritual treasure.
But the spiritual talisman, which could instantly burst out the power of the Primordial Soul Realm Cultivators, was the best product for a life-saving response. However, most of the spiritual talismans here were first-rank spiritual talismans, and their power was not as good as his casual blow. Plus, the number of talismans was limited, which was hardly useful.
The spiritual talismans were divided into nine ranks. The first four ranks were the power of the Primordial Soul Realm level, which corresponded to the early Primordial Soul Realm period, the middle Primordial Soul Realm period, the late Primordial Soul Realm period, and the Primordial Soul Realm Great Attainment. The last five ranks corresponded to the power of the Tide Changing Realm. The fifth rank talisman was equivalent to the Tide Changing Realm’s early period initial blow. But there were not many spiritual talismans above the fifth rank in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.
In the Imperial Treasury of Li’an City, there was only one first-rank spiritual talisman, no second rank could be found, which was optional for Mo Wen anyway.
“Sir, I still have a few kept treasures here, never displayed, I wonder if you are interested?” Yulan had been a proprietress for many years, and easily saw Mo Wen had no interest in the treasures of the sixth floor, and immediately said with a smile.
Encountered with the power of the Primordial Soul Realm, she was helpless. It was not that the Imperial Treasury had not lived up to its name, but it was this particular branch of the Imperial Treasury. Generally, it only accepted buyers at the level below the Primordial Soul Realm. After all, for the Imperial Treasury, a small country like Xiping was like a grain of sand in the desert. It was too insignificant, and it was almost impossible for good things to be shipped there. The Imperial Treasury, which was suitable for the Primordial Soul Realm patronage, was the only branch in the entire Xiping Country.
