Chapter 185 Getting Rich Quick and Back to the 9-Day Merchant Guild!
I've bought it; I'll have someone come and pay for it later.
In the end, Zhu Chongjiu agreed to buy the Nine Spirits True Fire for ten million mid-grade immortal crystals.
Murong Yu was right when she said that money can be earned back, but once an opportunity is lost, it's hard to find it again!
The ten million mid-grade immortal crystals were worth it to elevate Xiao Huo from the Heavenly General level to the Heavenly King level.
After the two had settled everything, Zhu Chongjiu turned to leave.
After Murong Yu was born, that clear and melodious voice rang out again.
For the sake of ten million, I'll tell you some news for free.
The true master of the Qingfeng World, namely the Storm Immortal Lord, already knows about what happened here and is now sending his elite troops to capture you.
Upon hearing Murong Yu's words, Zhu Chongjiu stopped and turned to ask, "May I ask, President Murong, how much longer will it take them to get here?"
About three months.
This is just a normal itinerary; I wonder if they have any special flying artifacts that would allow them to arrive ahead of time.
As Murong Yu finished speaking, Zhu Chongjiu cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you in advance. If we ever become successful, we will repay Chairman Murong handsomely."
Murong Yu did not answer, so Zhu Chongjiu turned around and left the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce, heading straight into the void to convey some information to the little ones.
Five hours later, the little ones returned to Zhu Chongjiu as promised.
As soon as Xiao Jin saw Zhu Chongjiu, he asked loudly, "What did you just say, Ninth Brother?"
Did the Storm Immortal Lord know that we were killed by his subordinates?
"Did the news travel that fast?"
Well, it does.
President Murong told me this, so it can't be false.
This time, we've caused quite a stir, and within the world, there are other forces trying to tip us off.
Zhu Chongjiu then turned to Xiong Da beside him and said, "Xiong Da, take ten million mid-grade immortal crystals to the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce and give them to President Murong."
I'll come back immediately after I finish what I'm doing.
We're about to embark on our escape.
After hearing this, Xiong Da didn't say anything more. In a flash, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
While waiting for Xiong Da, everyone began to tally up the spoils of this great battle.
There are approximately several billion low-grade immortal crystals.
There are approximately one billion intermediate-grade immortal crystals.
There are also nearly fifty million high-grade immortal crystals.
Especially the high-grade immortal crystals, most of which were plundered from the Qingfeng Immortal Palace where the Qingfeng Immortal King resided.
The remaining weapons and magical treasures were countless. Following Zhu Chongjiu's orders, everyone looted all items that were of the Heavenly Official rank or higher.
This doesn't even include some of the more remote and secluded places.
The truly valuable items were still in the storage rings of the four Immortal Kings and the Qingfeng Immortal King.
By the end, the little ones and Zhu Chongjiu were getting a bit tired of counting. They put everything into Zhu Chongjiu's storage ring, leaving only some immortal crystals for the little ones in case of emergency.
While taking inventory, Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Ninth Brother, I found several rare and precious materials that can help me increase my strength."
Upon hearing what Xiao Mu said, Xiao Tu, Xiao Huo, and the other little ones all spoke similar words.
Zhu Chongjiu nodded in agreement.
I have also discovered many treasures that resonate with you, but now is not the time for us to cultivate.
In another two or three months, the army will be pressing in. We must evade their pursuit before finding a safe place to settle down and cultivate.
If it cannot be found, just as Murong Yu said.
Only when the Void Ship appears a hundred years from now will we have a glimmer of hope if we board it.
Xiao Jin stood up and declared boldly, "What's there to be afraid of? Damn it!"
With our current strength, unless a Celestial Lord personally intervenes, no one can do anything to us.
Brother Jin, that's what he says.
However, this was a large army dispatched by the Immortal Lords, and three Immortal Lords dispatched it simultaneously.
It's nothing like those few rotten garlic cloves in this world of clear breeze.
If they really unite and attack us simultaneously, we could probably be drowned by each of their spittle.
Xiao Jin, who had been striking a pose after making such a grand statement, immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant after hearing Xiao Rou's words.
What should I do?
If we really can't escape, can we just surrender and let them capture us?
By then, Ninth Brother will be ready.
A human would probably just be killed outright.
We, a bunch of elemental spirits, will definitely be captured and tortured and refined in various ways, and may even have our intelligence erased, becoming puppets to be manipulated at will.
At that time, I can't stand the life that's worse than death!
Alright, Xiao Jin, stop saying such discouraging things. Ninth Brother will help us figure out a solution.
After Xiao Hei said something to Xiao Jin, everyone's eyes turned to Zhu Chongjiu.
Zhu Chongjiu glanced at the group of children and then said, "If we want to live now, we have to fight to the death!"
Xiao Jin hurriedly asked, "How can we find a way to turn a desperate situation into a life-or-death one?"
In such a vast cosmic universe, I refuse to believe there isn't a single dangerous place, just like the Divine Void within our Azure God Realm.
After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, Xiao Hei, who was standing next to him, suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Jiu, I understand what you mean."
Zhu Chongjiu looked at Xiao Hei, nodded, and then told the little ones about his encounter with Xiao Hei in the Divine Void.
Actually, the kids had all heard Zhu Chongjiu or Xiao Hei mention some of these things.
The children were caught off guard when Zhu Chongjiu suddenly mentioned the Dao Shenxu again.
However, after Zhu Chongjiu explained the special living environment inside the Divine Void again, all the little ones understood Zhu Chongjiu's idea.
Everyone agreed that this was a feasible idea.
Entering dangerous territory is better than being hunted down by a large army in this vast void of space.
The latter is almost certainly going to die, while the former has a chance of survival.
After the children had learned about the situation, Xiao Jin raised a rather critical question.
So where is this place?
In the vast universe, if you wander aimlessly and encounter a dangerous place that is not too far beyond your current strength, and you must be able to stop all entrants, it seems even harder than winning the lottery.
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and looked at Xiao Jin, replying, "Just because we don't know doesn't mean others don't know, right?"
What's wrong with spending a little money?
"Let's go, it'll be perfect timing to greet Xiong Da."
When Zhu Chongjiu mentioned spending money to welcome Xiong Da, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
The inner celestial palace of the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce.
Murong Yu looked at Zhu Chongjiu and the group of children behind him, and said to Zhu Chongjiu with a charming look in her eyes, "What's going on?"
"It's only been a short while, you must be missing me already, right?"
Not only Zhu Chongjiu, but even the children almost choked on their own saliva when they heard Murong Yu's words.
Xiao Jin, in particular, was currently exchanging glances with Xiao Tu and Xiao Mu, who were on his left and right sides.
It was as if he was telling everyone that he hadn't been wrong about what he said about Ninth Brother.
Zhu Chongjiu instantly replenished his own mental energy with a Qingxin Mantra.
After things calmed down, Zhu Chongjiu cupped his hands and smiled at Murong Yu, "President Murong, I apologize for disturbing you again. There is a business deal I would like to do with you."
Oh?
What deal?
It's not a big deal; I just wanted to ask President Murong about some places.
Afterwards, Zhu Chongjiu described the conditions and characteristics of the dangerous place he needed.
As soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, the astute Murong Yu knew what he wanted to do.
Murong Yu did not answer directly, but instead instructed her subordinates to retrieve some documents.
After the staff of the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce brought the information that Murong Yu needed, Murong Yu began to look through it one by one.
Although they couldn't see anything at all, the children and Zhu Chongjiu all craned their necks and subconsciously looked into Murong Yu's hands.
Half an hour later, Murong Yu closed the documents in her hand and looked up.
Seeing this, all the children and Zhu Chongjiu simultaneously withdrew their necks and looked at Murong Yu's hands.
Seeing this, Murong Yu rolled her eyes at everyone.
He muttered "shameless!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin immediately greeted Murong Yu with a smile and said, "I saw at the auction a while ago that Sister Murong's appearance could be described as stunning, surpassing the entire Yuan Universe."
Our Ninth Brother was completely stunned when he first saw Sister Murong.
Now, seeing my sister's face up close for the first time, I am completely captivated by her beauty.
Even the way my sister flipped through the book just now left us all stunned.
If you want to call us shameless, you should blame it on my sister's beauty, which is so breathtaking it could shame the moon and make fish sink and geese fall from the sky.
Murong Yu's casual remark was caught by Xiao Jin, who praised it so much that Murong Yu laughed uncontrollably.
He kept repeating Xiao Jin's last words: "So beautiful that the moon hides its face and the flowers blush, so beautiful that fish sink and geese fall from the sky. What a beautiful phrase!"
Seeing this, Xiao Jin seized the opportunity and said, "These words came from my Ninth Brother, and he only said them after he saw my sister!"
Although the sound was very soft, we still heard it.
After saying that, Xiao Jin kept giving the group of children meaningful glances.
The little ones cooperated very well with Xiao Jin, nodding in agreement.
Upon hearing Xiao Jin's words, Murong Yu stopped giggling and blushed, lowering her head shyly.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu helplessly slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "I'll definitely have to reward Xiao Jin properly when we get out."
He knew perfectly well that Xiao Jin, who was third smartest in the team, had sold himself out to save money.
At this moment, Xiao Jin was quite pleased with himself.
The thought of being able to play a trick on Zhu Chongjiu like this made it all worthwhile, even if it meant getting a couple of slaps on the head.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xiaorou stepped forward and said softly to Murong Yu, "Sister Murong, can you tell us where there is a safe place we can go?"
