Chapter 564: Chapter 561: 20 Million Spirit Stones_1

As mentioned by the two maidservants, Yang Chen walked forward for about ten meters, turned left, and arrived at a relatively crowded area. There were many street stalls, but fewer chambers of commerce, with only three or four scattered around.

Yang Chen didn’t pay attention to the street stalls; it wasn’t that he looked down on them, but rather that he needed a variety of items, and the individual vendors at the stalls would likely not have a complete inventory to meet his demands. The chambers of commerce, on the other hand, were different. Therefore, without hesitation, Yang Chen set his sights on a chamber of commerce not far away.

“Blackwood Firm!” Yang Chen muttered to himself before entering the establishment.

Upon entering, two elders hurriedly came to greet him.

“I don’t know what you need, young friend, but our chamber of commerce has virtually everything available. Whatever you need, we’ll do our best to meet your demands,” said the elder on the left with a smile.

Yang Chen, with his hands behind his back, led Fang Lan and Cui Ju and calmly said, “I need some materials, some of which are quite complex.”

“Little Six, bring the young master some brush, ink, and blank bamboo slips,” ordered the elder with a clear understanding of Yang Chen’s request.

Yang Chen took the brush, ink, and bamboo slips and quickly wrote down the materials he needed.

His need for these materials stemmed from his Tai Chu Divine Body.

When he was in the Tiandu Divine Country, he had also mobilized quite a few materials from Yu Ban, mostly to enhance his Tai Chu Divine Body realm. However, unfortunately, with his current cultivation level, he had already utilized many materials within his scope of power, but it was still very difficult to support all the materials he needed.

He kept this issue in mind, but it was difficult to collect all the materials he needed in North Mountain County.

Now that he had come to the Black Dragon Sect, things were different.

The average level of Changning County was much higher than that of North Mountain County, which was why Yang Chen wanted to stroll around the Commerce Association Street as soon as he arrived at the Black Dragon Sect.

He figured that the chambers of commerce in Changning County should have a richer variety of materials than those in North Mountain County.

As Yang Chen’s thoughts raced, he wrote down the materials he needed one by one on the bamboo slips.

After he finished writing, he handed the slips to the two elders.

The elders exchanged glances as they took the bamboo slips and both drew in a cold breath, “Young friend, these materials you need are rare and precious. Even if our chamber of commerce could collect them, we would only be able to gather about half of them.”

“Only half?” Yang Chen frowned, slightly disappointed.

Of course, he wouldn’t give up just because of this. As the saying goes, it doesn’t hurt to ask around. Seeing that the Blackwood Firm could not gather everything he needed, he could only go to the opposite Candle Fire Trading Company.

Just like at the Blackwood Firm, he took the bamboo slips and proficiently handed over his required materials to the shopkeeper at the Candle Fire Trading Company.

The shopkeeper was a mustached old man in his sixties with a cultivation level at the Yuanwu Realm Fifth Layer. This level of cultivation was nothing special in Changning County.

Yang Chen was in no hurry; he waited patiently for the answer.

The shopkeeper looked at the bamboo slips Yang Chen had given him and stroked his mustache for a while before asking, “What’s the young friend’s surname?”

Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Yang Chen’s face as he quickly replied, “My surname is Yang!”

“Young friend Yang, I’ll be honest with you. We can gather all the materials you need, but I must warn you in advance; they are all rare and valuable. The sum of spirit stones you will need to pay for them is quite hefty,” said the shopkeeper slowly.

The meaning of his words couldn’t be clearer.

In plain terms, it meant…

We can gather the materials you need, but do you have that many spirit stones?

Fang Lan and Cui Ju were also watching Yang Chen from a distance, snickering in their hearts. Seeing this, they wanted to see if Yang Chen had enough spirit stones to make a purchase. Did they really think Changning County was comparable to North Mountain County? In their chambers of commerce, selling an item would easily be tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Having seen many things in his life, Yang Chen listened to the shopkeeper’s question and slowly replied, “Shopkeeper, just tell me how many spirit stones.”

“Twenty million!” The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and gave the exact amount.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen took a deep breath and quickly checked his storage bag with his soul. After a quick rummage, he became somewhat embarrassed.

He didn’t have that many spirit stones.

Yang Chen felt quite distressed.

He just remembered that he had spent most of the spirit stones on his person some time ago to create the Thunderstorm Demolition Array. Although the array made a significant contribution by eliminating many Fire Essence Beasts, it also virtually depleted all the spirit stones he had on him.

He was in a tight spot now.

As Yang Chen remained silent for a while, the shopkeeper could easily tell what was going on and sneered, “What, don’t you have any spirit stones?”

Yang Chen replied slowly, “Shopkeeper, prepare the materials. I will come to collect them in two days.”

“Haha, kid, I’ve seen that trick before. You want to come here for materials? Humph, I knew all along that you didn’t have any spirit stones. The materials you want to collect are the kind that even those in the True Martial Realm wouldn’t dare to collect casually. Who do you think you are? Can you afford the price? If you don’t have any spirit stones, get the hell out!” The shopkeeper’s attitude suddenly changed, and he began cursing angrily.

Yang Chen merely shrugged his shoulders and didn’t argue with the shopkeeper, leaving the trading company directly.

Fang Lan and Cui Ju secretly laughed at this, as they had guessed earlier that Yang Chen didn’t have any spirit stones. True to their thoughts, this country bumpkin, this rube, truly didn’t have any spirit stones. He went to the chamber of commerce for a stroll, and now, he was driven out.

Yang Chen was somewhat frustrated in his heart, but he didn’t give up and would not be discouraged.

Because he wasn’t joking when he said he would come back in two days.

Twenty million spirit stones.

Although it would be difficult for others to gather that many in two days, it was a different story for him.

Changning County, with its vast territory and abundant resources, charged high prices for items, but it was also a treasure trove for making money.

With that in mind, Yang Chen glanced at Fang Lan and Cui Ju and asked, “Ladies, do you know of any nearby chamber of commerce that specializes in buying elixirs?”

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Fang Lan and Cui Ju looked disdainful. They had just watched Yang Chen make a fool of himself, and now he wanted to go to a chamber of commerce that dealt with elixirs? They could easily guess what Yang Chen was thinking; he clearly wanted to sell some elixirs to make spirit stones.

It was laughable; what kind of elixir could sell for twenty million?

If he really had such an elixir, he could have shown it earlier, and any chamber of commerce would accept goods in exchange for spirit stones.
