Inside the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, facing the branch elder's questioning, Lin Feng smiled lightly, his powerful aura flashing by in an instant.
"What!? A Dou Wang expert!"
The elder named Poison Flame exclaimed in shock, and the several black-clad men behind him gasped in astonishment. Could Elder Poison Flame have misjudged him? A Dou Wang expert of that age looked to be only around twenty years old.
And when they were twenty, they were only Dou Shi level one, and that was with the cultivation of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
"Old sir, can we talk about the transaction now?"
"Of course, of course." Although Elder Poison Flame was shocked, he was also a Dou Wang expert himself, so he quickly calmed himself down and said with a smile.
"The spiritual items and secret manuals that you desire, as long as this branch has them, can be traded."
Elder Poison Flame waved his hand, and one of the staff behind him immediately handed him a list, which Elder Poison Flame then passed to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the list and glanced at it, finding that most of the items were poisonous. He then handed it to Little Fairy Doctor, while Zi Yan watched curiously from the side.
Little Fairy Doctor took the list, carefully examined it, marked it up, and finally handed it to Lin Feng.
"Just go with this list!"
Lin Feng took it but didn't look at it at all, instead handing it directly to Elder Poison Flame.
"Sir, the total value of the items listed is five million gold coins. This transaction amount has reached the highest VIP level of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. You can enjoy an 85% discount, which brings the price down to four million two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."
Elder Poison Flame calculated and, combined with the discount, gave Lin Feng the highest possible price.
"Old sir, I don't have that many gold coins on me. I wonder if I could exchange them for Fighting Spirit Pills?"
Lin Feng thought that he might need to go to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to buy more poisonous spiritual items, and since he didn't have that many gold coins on him, he simply offered to exchange them for pills.
"A Spirit Pill? Of course, that's fine. May I ask, are you an alchemist?" Elder Poison Flame was naturally delighted that Lin Feng was trading with pills. Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but speak softly, testing the waters.
"That's right, I am indeed a sixth-grade alchemist." Lin Feng didn't bother to hide anything from the old man's probing. Now that he was a mid-level Dou Huang, and his combat strength was approaching that of a Dou Zong, there was no need for him to keep a low profile in the Northwest.
Apart from needing to be wary of the Soul Palace, Lin Feng could be said to be unrestrained. Even powerful forces like the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had to give Canaan Academy some face.
"Sir, no, Master, may I ask if Master needs more spiritual items? This old man can introduce Master to the Poison Emperor. I'm sure Master will find this trip worthwhile."
Hearing Lin Feng personally admit that he was a sixth-grade alchemist, Elder Poison Flame's expression immediately became respectful, placing himself in a position even lower than Lin Feng's.
A sixth-grade alchemy master is someone even a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) must respect.
In fact, even some Dou Zong (Battle Masters) must give face to alchemists who have reached the sixth grade. After all, most Dou Zong (Battle Master) level experts have their own families behind them. Even if a sixth-grade alchemist might not be that useful to them personally, their influence on the cultivation of their descendants is extremely important. Therefore, Du Yan, who was just a lowly individual with little potential, instantly changed his attitude and became respectful when facing a sixth-grade alchemist.
"Oh? The Poison King of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?" Lin Feng pondered for a moment, stroking his chin. If he could exchange all the high-level poisons from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, it would likely be enough to support Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation to the Dou Huang level. Moreover, the Poison King might possess some profound secret manuals of poison masters, which Lin Feng was interested in exchanging for.
"In that case, I'll trouble Elder Poison Flame."
Seeing Lin Feng agree, Elder Poison Flame was overjoyed. Although he knew that with the size of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, it would be difficult to win over such a young alchemy master. However, he had brought such a deal to the headquarters and the Poison King, making such a great contribution. Perhaps he would be rewarded with a Dou Ling Pill.
Indeed, this alchemy master even needed to use pills for a mere four million-dollar transaction, so he probably didn't carry much gold. Judging from his tone, the amount of money to be traded next was definitely not small. Thinking of this, Poison Flame's tone became even more excited, and he continued to explain the various aspects of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to Lin Feng and the others.
"Tap tap tap,"
just as Poison Flame was explaining the various forces of the Chuyun Empire to Lin Feng and the others, footsteps slowly approached.
"Elder, I have brought the poisons listed on the inventory. Please take a look."
The man who had just left placed a storage ring on the table in front of Lin Feng and the others, bowed, and then withdrew.
"Master Lin Feng, are you satisfied?"
Elder Poison Flame took the storage ring and handed it to Lin Feng. He didn't look at it much, giving it a quick glance before handing it to Little Fairy Doctor. Then, he took out a pill from his own storage ring and handed it to Poison Flame.
"This, is this the Battle Spirit Pill? Truly worthy of a master!"
Poison Flame carefully took the jade bottle, took out the Battle Spirit Pill, and examined it closely, his eyes burning with fervor. Lin Feng subtly took a step back.
"Master Lin Feng is a Dou Wang level expert at such a young age, and his alchemy skills have reached such a level. He is truly a prodigy."
After putting away the pills, Du Yan flattered Lin Feng again.
"Since there's no problem with the pills, I wonder if Elder Du Yan is available now? Could you lead us to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?"
Lin Feng waved his hand, having no intention of mutual flattery. They were only here to purchase poisons for Little Fairy Doctor. Once they had purchased the necessary poisons, they would leave and probably wouldn't return to the Chu Yun Empire.
Moreover, he was already at the Dou Huang level. With the help of the strange fire, even if the Poison King of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave reached the peak of Dou Huang, it wouldn't be of much help to him.
Du Yan readily agreed to Lin Feng's suggestion and even wanted to take him to the headquarters. Once the transaction was completed, he would definitely receive a considerable amount of resources, and there was even a chance of obtaining a Dou Ling Pill. That way, his cultivation, which had stagnated for many years, might even advance further.
Thinking of this, Du Yan was even more excited. Without saying anything more, he greeted Lin Feng, then went to find the branch managers to explain the arrangements. Afterwards, he led Lin Feng and the others towards the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave.
