Xu Muan walked into Xiao Jinting’s seclusion cave. Xiao Jinting glanced at Xu Muan, who was frowning, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“The people from Heavenly God Sect are here.”
Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan’s solemn face and asked, “You look worried. What did they say?”
Xu Muan nodded. “Heavenly God Sect offers five hundred top-grade spiritual stones to buy one Spirit Cleansing Pill. They want to buy all the pills that we have.”
Xiao Jinting smiled bitterly. “The price is not low!”
Although the Spirit Cleansing Pill was precious, the price was high. However, the demand exceeded the supply, and some Deity Transformation ancestors who doted on their descendants were willing to spend a lot of money on it.
Xu Muan narrowed his eyes and said worriedly, “I don’t think they want to buy it, but to test how many pills you have.” If they knew that Xiao Jinting could refine Spirit Cleansing Pills as many as he could, he might be torn to pieces.
“I think so too,” Xiao Jinting said.
“Do you want to sell it?” asked Xu Muan.
“Yes. It might not be sold at such a high price if we miss this chance,” Xiao Jinting said after he thought for a while.
Xu Muan frowned and asked, “How to explain to them?”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said indifferently, “It’s easy. We can tell them that that we accidentally got the formulation of the Spirit Cleansing Pill in the secret realm years ago, and we refined a batch of Spirit Cleansing Pills. However, the Spirit Cleansing Grass that we found in the realm was limited, so we managed to refine eight Spirit Cleansing Pills. If the Heavenly God Sect wants the formulation, we can sell it to them.”
“Do you sell the formulation as well?” Xu Muan frowned and asked.
“There is no Spirit Cleansing Grass in the cultivation world, so it doesn’t matter to sell it to them. It’s good to exchange it for some spiritual stones,” Xiao Jinting said.
Xu Muan thought it over. Spirit Cleansing Grass existed in very few secret realms, and it didn’t have any effect until it reached certain years.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Okay, how many Spirit Cleansing Pills are you going to sell them?”
“Two,” Xiao Jinting said. One was too few, and three would make people suspect that he had a lot in his hands.
…
Jing Feiyue and Elder Gong Li, who were sent by Heavenly God Sect to negotiate, were shocked by the news from Xiao Jinting.
“No wonder Xiao Jinting has so many Spirit Cleansing Pills. It turns out that he has the formulation for the pills,” Gong Li said.
Jing Feiyue gritted his teeth and said, “This guy is greedy, selling the formulation at the price of two thousand top-grade spiritual stones.”
“It’s not expensive. With the formulation, we can cultivate many single roots, and our sect will be more powerful,” Gong Li said.
Jing Feiyue snorted softly, “That is under the condition that we have the Spirit Cleansing Grass. Why does Xiao Jinting sell the formulation so easily? Because he knows the formulation is useless without Spirit Cleansing Grass.”
“That’s right, but we have to buy the formulation no matter what. Our sect is not short of spiritual stones. What if we chance to find a patch of Spirit Cleansing Grass? Perhaps there is a lot of Spirit Cleansing Grass in some unspoilt secret realm.” Gong Li said.
Jing Feiyue nodded and said, “You are right.”
After Jing Feiyue sent the message back, Heavenly God Sect immediately sent people to deliver the spiritual stones over, afraid that Xiao Jinting would change his mind if they were late.
Dongcheng Yang soon learned about the deal between Xiao Jinting and Heavenly God Sect.
It dawned on him. “I was wondering why Xiao Jinting has so many Spirit Cleansing Pills. It turns out that he has the formulation.”
“No wonder Chen Xu listens to Xiao Xiaodong.” Lin Xue’e had been curious why Chen Xu, the grandson of Chen Lifeng, refused Qiao Xiang and chose Xiao Xiaodong, who was an ordinary cultivator. She thought Chen Xu knew that Xiao Xiaodong had taken the Spirit Cleansing Pill, and the Xiao family gave him one.
“It’s a pity that our sect can’t have the formulation.” Dongcheng Yang shook his head.
Lin Xue’e looked at his sad face and felt a sense of disappointment. It turned out that good aptitude could be mass produced.
Everyone in the Xiao family was Golden Core because they had all taken Spirit Cleansing Pills.
If one hundred cultivators in the sect had taken the Spirit Cleansing Pills, there would be a dozen Nascent Souls in around three hundred years. However, the problem was that the sect was too weak to have the formulation. Other sects would come to pick on them.
“Mr. Dongcheng, forget it. The Heavenly God Sect might not be able to make use of the formulation. The Spirit Cleansing Grass got extinct long ago. If it hadn’t got extinct, the formulation would not have disappeared,” Lin Xue’e said.
Dongcheng Yang nodded and said, “You’re right. No matter how good the formulation is, it’s a piece of trash without the Spirit Cleansing Grass. Jinting makes a big fortune out of it.”
In the secret room.
Xiao Jinting held a large sum of top-grade spiritual stones and smiled brightly.
“Heavenly God Sect is so generous. They didn’t haggle.”
“They are so wealthy that they didn’t turn a hair when they gave us such a large amount of spiritual stones,” Xu Muan smiled.
Xiao Jinting crossed his arms over his chest and said regretfully, “If I had known that they are so generous, I would have asked for more.”
“You’ve made quite a lot of money. Senior Chen was green with envy.” After Xu Muan received the spiritual stones, Chen Lifeng said with jealousy that a free-lance cultivator was too poor. He was a Nascent Soul at the advanced level, but he was not as wealthy as a new Nascent Soul.
“Those guys are lucky. By the way, I heard that you’ve framed Ice Palace,” Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan gently.
