Chapter 995: Five Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones For Tea Is Not Too Expensive
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mount Li Island was dominated by the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and there were many factions around it.
Most of these forces were stronger than the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.
However, it was alright. They were just there for fair trade.
After all, there was no benefit in becoming enemies with the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.
Although the Heavenly Spirit Tribe had declined in their glory, they still had some power and influence.
They could trade with them and get what they needed.
One-third of the entire island belonged to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, while the rest belonged to other forces.
Jiang Hao was heading to one of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe’s businesses.
It was the Heavenly Tea Restaurant.
The place specialized in various types of tea leaves.
This time, Hong Yuye led the way, and Jiang Hao followed behind her.
On the way, he broke out in a cold sweat.
What kind of tea would he be able to buy with just ten thousand spirit stones?
Maybe he could afford Red Azure Tea. It was certainly impossible to obtain September Spring.
It was a headache not being able to afford spirit stones, especially when Hong Yuye was leading him to a tea store, and he dared not refuse her.
He felt helpless. He did not feel this helpless even during a major crisis.
“Seniors, which floor do you plan to go to?” The woman at the reception seemed to be in her early twenties. She was at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Jiang Hao sighed.
Through Hong Yuye’s power, her cultivation was displayed at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while he was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This time, he didn’t use the identity of Smiling San Sheng.
After all, many people thought that Smiling San Sheng was still in the Dragon Cave.
In order to put pressure on the Great Thousand God Sect, they couldn’t let anyone know that Smiling San Sheng had left.
Naturally, he could not use his identity, but Hong Yuye had him covered.
Even so, the woman at the reception still addressed them as seniors. It was really surprising.
“How many floors are there?” Hong Yuye asked.
“A total of seven floors,” said the woman.
“Then, we’ll visit the seventh floor,” Hong Yuye said calmly.
Jiang Hao sighed in his heart.
He didn’t know if ten thousand spirit stones would be enough.
“Please, follow me.” The woman hesitated and led them to the seventh floor.
“To enter the seventh floor, one must at least have an Immortal Ascension Platform or a million spirit stones transaction. Otherwise, the senior guarding the seventh floor will not be happy.” The woman explained everything on the way.
Jiang Hao didn’t say anything.
Hong Yuye didn’t care.
The woman lowered her head respectfully.
There were three rooms on the seventh floor. The three rooms were each guarded by a person.
The woman led them to the last room.
She knocked softly on the door.
“Elder Lin, we have a guest,” said the woman.
“Come in,” said a deep voice.
Creak!
The door was pushed open.
Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye followed him in.
A muscular man was sitting at a long table. There were many exquisite tea leaves and tea sets on it.
Elder Lin frowned slightly.
“Sit,” she said politely.
Hong Yuye was not in a hurry. Jiang Hao understood that she wanted him to sit first.
At that moment, the woman from the reception retreated.
“What kind of tea do you like?” Elder Lin asked with a smile.
“Is there September Spring?” Jiang Hao asked.
He was sure that the other party did not.
Elder Lin shook his head slightly. “We have to wait for seven to eight years for that.”
“Do you have Red Azure tea?” Jiang Hao asked.
“It will take a few years.” Elder Lin shook his head.
He took out some green tea leaves. “Would the two of you like to try this? Although it’s not as good as Red Azure and September Spring, it’s a tea unique to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. It’s not ordinary tea either.”
“Can I try it first?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.
It was not as expensive as Red Azure and September Spring.
The other party began to brew the tea. Jiang Hao wanted to try it first before deciding to buy it.
“Senior, are you a member of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe?” Jiang Hao asked.
“No, but I grew up in the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. I was fortunate enough to be nurtured by some seniors,” Elder Lin said with a smile.
Jiang Hao nodded. The Heavenly Spirit Tribe was similar to the Shangguan Clan in the way they needed help from outsiders.
One was affected by the curse, while the other was cast aside by heaven and earth.
Therefore, it was extremely important for the Heavenly Spirit Tribe to regain their favor this time.
“There seem to be more people here lately,” Jiang Hao said.
“There are indeed many. Everyone is here for something, but it has nothing to do with us.” Elder Lin poured tea for Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye.
Hong Yuye turned to look at the person beside her.
Jiang Hao understood and took out a red teacup.
Elder Lin was stunned and immediately poured tea into the cup.
This was the first time he had seen such an ordinary teacup.
Even if these were two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, they would not just casually carry two teacups around.
“Senior, do you know about the Saint Bandits?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I know a few. Are you interested in them, Fellow Disciple?” Elder Lin asked.
“Not really. I’m more interested in The End of All Things,” Jiang Hao said softly.
He looked at the man calmly.
When he entered, Jiang Hao saw a hidden power around the other party. It was not that strong, but it was extraordinary.
He used the Art of Reversal to check if that strange power was from the Great Thousand God Sect.
After making sure the person was not a part of Saint Bandits or the Great Thousand God Sect, he brought up The End of All Things again.
Elder Lin looked at Jiang Hao in surprise. “You’re interested in The End of All Things? That’s not good. They have businesses and connections everywhere overseas. The core members are very dangerous.”
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded. Then, he used the secret technique of the End of All Things to try to connect the dots.
Unfortunately, the other party did not react to it.
However, the other party’s soul was not ordinary.
He had some strange abilities.
The cultivation world was big, so it was not surprising to come across such people.
“Not bad,” said Hong Yuye as she sipped the tea.
“Five thousand spirit stones per pack. How much do you need?” Elder Lin chuckled. “I don’t have a lot. I have ten packs, which is fifty thousand spirit stones. If you want them all, I can give you a discount and sell them to you for forty-five thousand.”
Jiang Hao was speechless.
After a while, Elder Lin saw them off at the door.
At that moment, the woman from the reception walked to him. “Elder Lin, what cultivation realm are they?”
She had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for a long time, so she was curious.
“Looks like they’re both in the Foundation Establishment Realm,” Elder Lin said calmly.
“How much did they buy?” she asked.
“That man spent ten thousand spirit stones on two packs of tea that I showed them,” said Elder Lin. He watched as Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye left.
The woman was a little stunned.
Two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators spending ten thousand for tea?
Were they really in the Foundation Establishment Realm or were they faking it?
She could not tell for real.
In fact, it was not just her. Even Elder Lin could not tell for sure what cultivation realm they had.
It seemed they were here to gather information on the area rather than being too interested in tea leaves.
They did seem bold.
If their cultivation realm was not as they made it seem like…
He did not want to risk it.
If they were powerful and not someone he could provoke, it would be over for him.
Elder Lin sighed and returned to his room.
‘Ten thousand spirit stones…’
He had given out a lot of information on all sorts of things.
For a moment, he felt as though he had suffered a loss. It was almost laughable.
“I wonder if there comes a day when I can confirm what their cultivation realms really are.” Elder Lin sighed wearily.
