Chapter 581: Chapter 401: The Domineering Nature of the Ancient God Clan!_1

“Hiss…” The Black Bird gasped in shock and quickly hopped out from behind the counter, his face wearing a fawning expression.

“May I inquire how to address this distinguished Ancient Archon, Sir?”

“If there’s anything you need from this humble one, please don’t hesitate to command me!” The Black Bird bowed deeply, speaking cautiously.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing grew curious.

The shopkeeper’s attitude towards him was a bit too strange.

You should know.

He could feel that the Black Bird shopkeeper had a cultivation just like his own, both at the realm of Chaos Immortal.

“Do you have any World Fragments for sale here?”

Xuanqing did not come straight out with the Devouring Heaven Fruit to sell, instead pretending to be a buyer to probe the price, to avoid getting taken advantage of.

“Yes, yes, yes, this humble one has World Fragments for sale, complete worlds also available, but if you want a complete world, you’ll have to wait two more days.”

“What are the prices?”

“You would need…”

The Black Bird shopkeeper instinctively thought to quote a high price, but then remembered that the person in front of him was a noble from the Ancient God Clan, someone he definitely should not offend.

“Sir, having you in my store is an honor for me, and for these fragments, ten Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones would suffice,” he said.

“If it’s for a complete world, two hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.”

“Bring me one fragment first; let me take a look at it first!” Xuanqing commanded.

“Yes!”

…

Subsequently.

One could see the Black Bird shopkeeper heading to a drawer and taking out a nondescript black stone box.

“Sir, please look, the World Fragments in our store contain rich world power; they are genuine, as known far and wide…”

While opening the box in his hand, the Black Bird shopkeeper boasted about his merchandise, eventually placing the object in front of Xuanqing.

Glancing over.

Within the box lay a fragment emitting a faint white light, like a dim star.

However.

Xuanqing was mainly sensing the world power contained within it.

Comparing the world power, he found that one of his Devouring Heaven Fruits could be worth ten of those Small Thousand Fragments.

With this thought.

He then asked again, “I heard you mention Small Thousand World Fragments just now. Do you have any Great Thousand World Fragments?”

“Uh…?”

The Black Bird shopkeeper was stunned, his expression somewhat strange, then weakly added, “You must be joking, Sir. How could such a precious item be available in my modest shop!”

“Let alone my store, I fear that even throughout the entire Grocery stores of the North Region, you would not find one that sells Great Thousand World Fragments.”

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing waved his hand and didn’t press further about the Great Thousand World, instead directly taking out the Devouring Heaven Fruit from his Game Backpack.

Now that he knew the price of the Small Thousand Fragments, he could reveal his true intentions.

“The world power in this fruit is roughly equivalent to ten of your Small Thousand Fragments. Will you take it?”

As soon as he said this.

The Black Bird shopkeeper suddenly understood.

So that’s why this Ancient God had been acting so weirdly after entering the store; he wasn’t here to buy, but to sell!

Taking the fruit handed over, he scrutinized it closely and confirmed, as this Ancient God Clan member said, that the world power was exceedingly rich – one fruit indeed matched ten Small Thousand Fragments.

“We’ll take it, Sir. This fruit’s Small Thousand Origin is concentrated; one fruit for ten fragments is definitely a good deal for practice,” praised the Black Bird shopkeeper, but then his tone changed, and he said:

“However, although your fruit is a great item, it can only be used for practice, unlike the Small Thousand Fragments that can also be used in forging, formation setting… so, about the price…”

“Enough talk, just name your price!”

Xuanqing frowned slightly, speaking calmly.

The merchant was only seeking profit, using a tactic of praise followed by criticism to drive down the price of the Devouring Heaven Fruit. He couldn’t be bothered to haggle, as long as the price wasn’t too outrageous it was fine by him.

“Of course, of course…”

The Black Bird shopkeeper was startled and wanted to slap himself for again forgetting that this ‘Sir’ was not an ordinary creature but a supreme Ancient God Clan member from the North Region.

“Ninety Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, I am willing to pay ninety Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones to acquire this fruit from you, Sir…”

Ninety Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?

Hearing this number.

Xuanqing was taken aback.

Goodness… does this mean that one Devouring Heaven Fruit is worth the same as ninety demon gods from the Primordial World?

Of course.

The math couldn’t really be calculated like that, as after all, it was an extra reward for slaying a demon god, and not by recharging the demon god, which would reduce its value significantly, so this was quite reasonable.

“Ninety-five… I can’t go any higher, Sir~~”

The Black Bird shopkeeper was on the verge of tears and then gritted his teeth, stomping his foot, saying:

“One hundred… If you, Sir, don’t have many of these fruits, this humble one… is willing to pay one hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones to purchase them.”

At that moment, his heart was bleeding, only hoping that Sir from the Ancient God Clan didn’t have many fruits, so he could lose a bit less, considering it as a protection fee paid.

“Let it be ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones; you’re a merchant too, I can’t let you take a loss!”

Xuanqing gestured with his hand as he spoke.

Even though he didn’t understand why this Black Bird shopkeeper was so afraid of him, he didn’t want to become arrogant because of it.

That was his nature, loathing being overcharged, but he wouldn’t take advantage of others on account of his status.

“Very good, thank you, Sir, for your understanding. I’ll take as many of these fruits as you have.”
