CHAPTER 984: CHAPTER 682: DIVINE FEATHER COMMERCIAL TOWER (PART 2)

Divine Feather Commercial Tower is the biggest trading place in Divine Feather City, where you can trade a variety of items, far more legitimately than those roadside stalls selling teeth, bones, and ancestors’ remains.

When trading here, the Commercial Tower has professional Dao practitioners to inspect the quality of goods, strictly ensuring that counterfeit and shoddy items do not enter the market.

There is just a bit more in handling fees.

But you can buy with confidence and use comfortably, without worrying about buying shed snake skins from the Immortal Realm Serpent Dao practitioners’ roadside stalls and then discovering it’s fake Qi-Controlling stage snake skin once you get home, which would leave you helpless.

If you buy counterfeit goods at Divine Feather Commercial Tower, there is compensation because they are authenticated, and even if the seller can’t be found afterward, compensation can still be made.

This is why many people are willing to come here for transactions.

The Divine Feather Commercial Tower is built with nine floors, each floor is extremely large and clearly divided. For example, the first floor trades goods of the Qi-Controlling level, the second floor trades goods of the Meridian Opening level...

And so on, the sixth floor is where items of the Immortal Realm are sold.

"Go to the sixth floor!"

Xiang Beifei, after figuring out the layout of the Divine Feather Commercial Tower, walked to the sixth floor without hesitation.

What he needs now is spiritual power crystals from the early Immortal stage, to gather enough and then go to unlock Subaru’s seal.

Subaru always requires seven spiritual power crystals from the early Immortal stage. Currently, he has only obtained three, which he got from the Meat-Winged Monster last time after killing three early Immortal stage masters and one mid-stage Immortal Realm Eternal Night Demon King.

He hopes to buy four spiritual power crystals if possible.

"Immortal Realm items are very expensive, usually starting from several dozen acres of land, and you don’t have enough money on hand."

He Qing knew Xiang Beifei just arrived at the Edge Corner Airspace with only two acres of land, seeing Xiang Beifei looking enthusiastic, she splashed cold water on him.

"It’s okay, it’s also good to broaden my horizons."

Xiang Beifei wasn’t very concerned and stepped onto the sixth-floor staircase.

At the entrance to the sixth-floor staircase, a middle-aged Heavenly Connection cultivator was sitting there guarding, and when he saw Xiang Beifei, he frowned slightly.

This middle-aged man was from the three-armed race, named Peng Nian, specifically responsible for reception affairs on the sixth floor. Even a skilled Heavenly Connection master can only guard the gate here, indicating the importance of the sixth floor.

Xiang Beifei’s appearance bore the characteristics of the crane race, clearly not reaching the Heavenly Connection stage, so Peng Nian stretched out a hand to block him, saying: "Friends of the Heavenly Connection stage, please don’t enter on your own, you must be accompanied by an elder of the Immortal Realm."

"There’s such a rule?"

Xiang Beifei paused, somewhat puzzled.

"Because you people from the Heavenly Connection stage lack insight, it’s easy to be deceived when going up to deal with things in the Immortal Realm!"

He Qing finally seized this opportunity to mock Xiang Beifei fiercely.

She then realized Peng Nian was also from the Heavenly Connection stage, and quickly said to Peng Nian: "Sorry, I wasn’t referring to you, please don’t take it to heart."

Seeing it was He Qing, Peng Nian promptly stood up, not daring to blame anything.

The famous He Qing has been heavily talked about in Divine Feather City these past days, and a person like him responsible for guarding the big commercial tower must know what she looks like immediately, or he would not recognize the important ones and might inadvertently offend her at the Dragon King Temple, which he couldn’t afford.

Peng Nian politely said: "It’s no bother, Miss He Qing’s words indeed make sense. Before the adults of the Immortal Realm, going up alone for you in the Heavenly Connection stage would indeed be disadvantaged. It is an honor for our commercial tower to have Miss He Qing’s presence, upstairs, please!"

He Qing pushed Xiang Beifei aside and walked up by herself.

Peng Nian took a look at Xiang Beifei and hesitantly asked: "Miss He Qing, is this person with you?"

He Qing stopped, turned to look down at Xiang Beifei, and smiled slightly: "Whether he’s with me depends on what he calls me."

Xiang Beifei immediately said: "She is my old gr..."

"If you dare to say that, don’t even think about coming up." He Qing threatened.

"You should know, I can still find someone to go up with, right?"

Xiang Beifei plucked a tuft of hair from his ear, biting on it.

"You—" He Qing was infuriated.

Because Xiang Beifei isn’t a Heavenly Connection stage, but an Immortal Realm stage, he can completely use his true identity, making this threat useless to Xiang Beifei.

He Qing, feeling frustrated, glared at Xiang Beifei again and said to Peng Nian, "He’s with me."

Only then did Xiang Beifei calmly walk upstairs.

Compared to the thousands of traders on the lower floors, the sixth floor had significantly fewer people, probably less than a hundred, giving it a quieter atmosphere with no one shouting.

Everyone here was a master of the Immortal Realm. They valued their dignity, so basically no one shouted and simply sat there with their eyes closed, meditating.

The treasures sold here naturally also belonged to the Immortal Realm. Buyers and sellers were of similar strength and basically all knowledgeable about the goods.

Xiang Beifei looked around, searching for suitable items.

The stall closest to him displayed a tricolored stone, within which multitudes of red, hot auras surged, occasionally igniting into flames. The flames had three colors: red, yellow, and green, and a sign labeled it as a Tri-Flame Stone.

The Tri-Flame Stone was priced at seventeen units of soil!

Xiang Beifei used his perception to probe the stone. The flames from this stone were actually not very strong, lying somewhere between the Heavenly Connection and Immortal realm, merely flashy and not meeting Xiang Beifei’s requirements.

He continued forward and saw a skeleton. The whole body of the skeleton was golden, shining brilliantly, looking very mysterious.

"Golden Sacred Bone, from a certain ancient secret realm. Initial appraisal suggests it belongs to a fallen mighty being from the Inquiry Dao Realm! Great potential for excavation, priced at twenty-six units of soil!"

Xiang Beifei closely examined the Golden Sacred Bone, swiftly deducing in his mind the true nature of this Golden Sacred Bone. In reality, this thing wasn’t skeletal remains from the Inquiry Dao Realm, but from a master of the Heavenly Connection.

However, the skeleton was coated with a layer of powerful and strange golden force. It was this force that originated from a master of the Inquiry Dao Realm, meaning this unfortunate person was bombarded by an Inquiry Dao Realm master, leaving only a golden skeleton with residual Inquiry Dao power.

"The things here don’t seem that remarkable; even the official appraisal by the Commercial Tower is lacking. Their appraisal standards need improvement."

Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but mutter.

Although he had countless breath soil, he wasn’t willing to squander it recklessly.

But soon he discovered a blue ice crystal, only fist-sized, with sharp red ice edges jutting from the center.

"Snow Essence Fruit, thirty thousand years old from the peak of the Northern Mountain, priced at forty-six units of soil."

Xiang Beifei’s eyes lit up!

The spiritual power contained within this Snow Essence Fruit was extremely abundant, likely nurtured in a place teeming with spiritual energy, absorbing cold aura, capable of being refined into Immortal Realm spiritual power crystals—a truly genuine treasure!

Forty-six units of soil wasn’t too expensive, worth considering for purchase.

Just as Xiang Beifei was preparing to bargain, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead, seemingly stirred by something causing a stir.

Xiang Beifei looked up and saw a crowd gathering, with many exclamations of amazement resounding continuously.

"My heavens, where did this stone come from? Could it have been found on the lost Divine Island?"

"Such powerful Dao intention! Just by studying the strokes, I was almost pulled in!"

"How much soil for this stone? I’ll take it!"

"Fellow Daoist, how much breath soil are you willing to offer for this Dao Stone?"

...

At the stall in front, many people were inquiring about prices, as if someone was preparing to sell a rare treasure, attracting many Daoists to gather and observe. Many faces were filled with disbelief.

"What’s happening?" Xiang Beifei asked in confusion.

"I’ll go take a look."

He Qing also slightly frowned, walking over there, squeezing through the crowd to examine the so-called treasure with everyone else. He then paused, showing a look of surprise, seemingly drawn in as well!

"Could it really be something good again?"

Xiang Beifei’s eyes brightened; if it was something of the Immortal Realm, he had to join in and buy it for refining!

He squeezed through the crowd, arriving at the stall, eagerly fixing his gaze on the stall, then also paused!

A stone was placed on the table in front, about two inches long, appearing very ordinary, with a material considered quite coarse. However, a large, lively character written on the stone elevated its value and captivated everyone!
