Chapter 3601: A Glorious Heaven Sect’s Disciple?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Not all of the fruits in the Realms of Gods were divine fruits; the majority of them were Celestial Fruits. Similarly, the pills in the Realms of Gods were not all divine pills, and the majority were Celestial Pills.
This was especially true for a small city like Descent Mountain City, which was located in a remote area of the Profound Energy Land. Most of the pills being sold were Celestial Pills, and there were very few divine pills being sold. Moreover, the few divine pills that were for sale were sold at a high price.
In Descent Mountain City, the three best medicine shops were owned by the Qian family, the Meng family, and the Cloudy Morning Sect. The Qian family, the Meng family, and the Cloudy Morning Sect were three of the four strongest forces in Descent Mountain City. The fourth strongest force was the Heaven Martial Sect. Although the Heaven Martial Sect owned medicine shops as well, due to a lack of skilled alchemists, their medicine shops were not as good compared to the other three forces.
The Qian family’s medicine shop mostly sold Celestial Pills. The few divine pills they sold were exorbitantly priced so very few people could afford them.
When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the entrance of the medicine shop owned by the Qian family, which was called the Rejuvenation Tower, one of the two workers guarding the entrance greeted him enthusiastically.
“Sir, how may I help you? What are you looking for?”
“I’m here to exchange for some divine rocks, and I want to have a look at the pills you carry in your shop,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
Upon hearing this, the worker’s eyes lit up. “This way please, sir.” As he led Duan Ling Tian into the shop, he continued to say, “Sir, there are three floors in the Rejuvenation Tower. The ordinary Celestial Pills are on the first floor; the rare Celestial Pills are on the second floor; the supreme Celestial Pills, and the few divine pills we have are on the third floor. As for exchanging for divine rocks, you can exchange for a small number on the first floor, and if you’re exchanging for a huge number, you can do so on the second floor.”
After saying that, the worker asked curiously, “Sir, how many divine rocks do you want?”
“1,000 taels worth of divine rocks.”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the worker was so shocked that he stopped in his tracks immediately. After all, 1,000 taels worth of divine rocks was an astronomical figure for a worker like him.
In fact, even in the Qian family, apart from the head of the family and the gods, none of them could easily bring out so many divine rocks.
A tael worth of divine rocks was equivalent to 100 supreme Celestial Crystals. 1,000 taels worth of Celestial Crystals were equivalent to 100,000 supreme Celestial Crystals.
“Sir, a-are you joking?” the worker asked in disbelief when he regained his senses.
Duan Ling Tian glanced at the worker and said, “Joking? If the Rejuvenation Tower is unable to exchange so many divine rocks for me then I’ll go to another place.”
The exchange rate for divine rocks in Descent Mountain City was different from the general exchange rate for most places. For small cities like Descent Mountain City, the exchange rate was 10% higher than the general exchange rate in big cities. For example, according to the general exchange rate, one could exchange for 1 tael of divine rocks with 100 supreme Celestial Crystals. However, in places like Descent Mountain City, one needed 110 supreme Celestial Crystals to exchange for a tael of divine rocks. Subsequently, those in remote cities would go to the big cities to exchange for divine rocks using the general exchange rate.
The reason most people in remote cities did not travel to the big cities to exchange for divine rocks despite the better exchange rate was due to the dangerous journey. After all, the journey to big cities was fraught with danger. Unless they had the protection of a god, most people would not travel to the big cities to exchange for divine rocks.
“Sir, please wait for a moment while I speak to the shopkeeper,” the worker said before he hurried away to look for the Rejuvenation Tower’s shopkeeper. After all, he was not qualified to handle such a huge transaction.
The worker was filled with excitement when he thought about Duan Ling Tian’s transaction. After all, the commission he would receive from Duan Ling Tian’s transaction alone was huge even if he would only get 1% of Duan Ling Tian’s transaction.
In the Rejuvenation Tower, one would need to pay 110,000 supreme Celestial Crystals to exchange for 1,000 taels worth of divine rocks. This meant that the Rejuvenation Tower would earn 10,000 supreme Celestial Crystals. 1% of 10,000 supreme Celestial Crystals was 100 supreme Celestial Crystals, which was ten times more than the Celestial Crystals in his possession now. If the transaction went through, his life would change completely.
Soon enough, the worker returned with an old man dressed in a light blue robe. The old man had a medium build, his appearance was ordinary, and he had long grayish-white hair. Despite being old, he looked energetic.
“Sir, you want to exchange for 1,000 taels worth of divine rocks?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he waved his hand casually.
Thump!
110,000 supreme Celestial Crystals appeared out of thin air in a pile next to Duan Ling Tian in just a blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, the old man’s expression changed immediately.
“There are exactly 110,00 supreme Celestial Crystals here,” Duan Ling Tian said as he glanced at the old man.
The old man nodded repeatedly as he said, “Indeed. I’ve just checked with my Divine Consciousness. There’s no mistake.”
“Can the Rejuvenation Tower exchange 1,000 taels of divine rocks for me? If not, I’ll look for another place,” Duan Ling Tian said again.
“Of course, we can!” the old man hurriedly said with a smile, “Sir, I’ve already sent someone to bring the divine rocks over. They’ll be here in a quarter of an hour. Please wait for a moment.”
The old man’s attitude toward Duan Ling Tian had changed completely. He was incredibly polite and humble now. This was only natural. After all, a person who could casually bring out 110,000 supreme Celestial Crystals had to be extraordinary. Moreover, the purple-clad young man in front of him had an extraordinary bearing. It was clear the purple-clad young man was not an ordinary person. Since he would be earning a lot from the purple-clad young man, he naturally did not dare to neglect the purple-clad young man.
“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“Sir, I’m Qian Tong, the shopkeeper of the Rejuvenation Tower. I’m also the seventh elder of the Qian family. How should I address you, sir?” The old man did not forget to inquire about Duan Ling Tian when he introduced himself. He wanted to try and obtain as much information as he could about Duan Ling Tian. If Duan Ling Tian was just a wealthy person without the support of a strong force, the Qian family could rob Duan Ling Tian of his wealth.
“Duan Ling Tian.” Duan Ling Tian did not bother to hide his name. Currently, there was no way anyone in the Realms of Gods had heard of his name. Perhaps, after 300 years, when the passages between the Realms of Gods and Devata Realms reopened, his name would finally spread to the Realms of Gods.
“I see. So you’re Young Master Duan,” Qian Tong said as he smiled. Then, he asked, “Which force do you belong to, Young Master Duan?”
Then, Qian Tong feigned embarrassment as he said, “I’m sorry for my intrusive question. It’s fine if Young Master Duan doesn’t answer my question.”
“It’s fine,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently, “I came here with a few friends without the knowledge of the elders in my sect. I’m from the Glorious Heaven Sect.”
The Glorious Heaven Sect was the sect that Ye Bei Yuan, who had led Duan Ling Tian to a base camp in the Realm Battlefield, belonged to.
Although Duan Ling Tian was unsure of the Glorious Heaven Sect’s status in the Profound Energy Land, he was certain it could not be too bad since they had an intermediate Lord of Gods like Ye Bei Yuan. Naturally, he was not sure if Qian Tong had heard of the Glorious Heaven Sect. After all, although Lords of Gods were not too many in this area, there were quite a lot of them in the Profound Energy Land.
As it turned out, Qian Tong seemed to know the Heaven Glorious Sect. His expression turned more respectful and awe could be seen in his eyes as he said, “So you’re from the Glorious Heaven Sect. Please forgive me if I’ve acted rudely earlier, Young Master Duan.”
After Qian Tong finished speaking, he bowed repeatedly.
Upon seeing this, the worker standing behind Qian Tong bowed as well. An astonished expression could be seen on his face at this moment. Clearly, he did not expect the customer he had served earlier was from the Glorious Heaven Sect.
The Glorious Heaven Sect was a famous sect from the Eastern Ridge Mansion in the Eastern Region. Although they were not the strongest force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, they were still famous since they had many powerhouses, including an Emperor of Gods. Hence, the sect was considered rather powerful as well.
…
The Qian family mansion was located in the west of Descent Mountain City, and it occupied a vast area.
The Qian family’s elders and disciples patrolled the sky above the mansion, causing many who passed by to avoid the mansion.
At this moment, Qian Yue Jin, the head of the Qian family, was shocked after reading the message that had been sent by Qian Tong, the seventh elder of the Qian family. He was astonished that a young man had brought out 110,000 supreme Celestial Crystals to exchange for 1,000 taels worth of divine rocks in the Rejuvenation Tower.
After all, the Qian family only had tens of thousands of taels worth of divine rocks. Hence, 1,000 taels worth of divine rocks was a considerable number for the Qian family.
Although this transaction was very profitable, Qian Yue Jin could not help but have other thoughts. He wondered if they could snatch the customer’s Celestial Crystals away. Hence, he told Qian Tong to find out more about the young man’s background.
Qian Yue Jin was further shocked when he received Qian Tong’s reply. He did not expect the customer to belong to the Glorious Heaven Sect.
“A Glorious Heaven Sect’s disciple? Is it true?” Qian Yue Jin felt skeptical. After all, he could not figure out why a disciple from a prominent sect would come to a small city like the Descent Mountain City. Descent Mountain City could not compare to the Eastern Ridge Mansion in the Eastern Region at all. To those from big cities, Descent Mountain City was a remote and insignificant place.
“I can’t confirm if it’s the truth or not. However, based on his speech and temperament, it doesn’t seem like he’s lying,” Qian Tong replied soon after.
Qian Yue Jin replied through Voice Transmission, “Even if he’s from the Glorious Heaven Sect, we can still deal with him as long as he’s not a god. As long as we don’t leave any evidence behind, the Qian family won’t have any problems…”
