Chapter 1040 – Transactions
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and continued to browse the other stalls.
Here, all sorts of magic materials were available, with a variety of uses, and even some immortal materials from the immortal world could be seen occasionally.
Xu Chuniang was about to head to the next stall when she suddenly had a thought, since Immortal Materials were being sold, would Immortal Crystals also be wanted?
She tentatively asked the stall owner, who heard that she had Immortal Crystals in her hand and looked her up and down with narrowed eyes.
“Immortal crystals, naturally, they are collected, two Immortal crystals can be exchanged for one magic crystal, how many Immortal crystals do you have in your hand?”
Xu Chuniang just casually asked, did not expect the stall is really willing to buy immortal crystals, just this price, sounds like some unfair.
According to her observation, the price of immortal materials sold on the stall, can be more expensive than the general magic materials, according to this, the price of immortal crystals in the magic world should also exceed the magic crystals.
“Not much, just a couple hundred.”
Hearing that she only had this much Immortal Crystals in her hand, the stall owner’s face showed obvious dislike, “Just this much Immortal Crystals, what’s enough for, at least a thousand Immortal Crystals to start with, go go go, don’t delay my business.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t bother with the stall owner and directly turned around to leave.
Just a few steps away, she realized that she seemed to be being watched by someone, however, the market was crowded, with many high-level Heavenly Demons coming and going, so she couldn’t be sure who it was that was watching her.
Xu Chuniang pretended to be oblivious and walked in a direction away from the market, and after she left the center of the Demon Capital, the feeling of being watched not only didn’t disappear, but became even more impossible to ignore.
She stopped abruptly, turned to look at the empty rear, and spoke in a cold voice, ”Who is Your Excellency? After following me all the way, it’s time to show yourself, right?”
The soil underneath her feet suddenly began to tremble, and a half-human tall dwarf demon with greenish-black skin and a pair of pointed ears drilled out from the soil.
She clasped her fists and bowed towards Xu Chuniang, “I didn’t mean to follow you, I just heard that you had Immortal Crystals in your hands that you wanted to get rid of when I was passing by, and it just so happens that I know of a channel for this, so I wanted to make a deal with you.”
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the dwarf devil, who was short in stature and low in strength, and had always had a low status in the demon realm.
This midget devil in front of her was at the middle Human Immortal realm, its cultivation was not much higher than hers, and coupled with the fact that she was in the absolute safety of the Devil Capital, she was not afraid of the other party playing any tricks.
“What kind of deal, tell me.”
The dwarf devil was slightly relieved, she knew that her actions would easily lead to misunderstanding, but immortal crystals were a hot commodity in the demon world, and she didn’t want to miss such a rare opportunity.
“That stall owner just now was seeing your low cultivation and intentionally quoted a very low price, in fact, under normal circumstances, a piece of Immortal Crystal is able to be exchanged for two or even more pieces of Magic Crystals.”
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, indicating that she knew, “Thank you for telling me this, but I don’t have a large amount of Immortal Crystals on me, so I’m sure you’ve heard about it just now, right?”
The dwarf devil’s face remained unchanged, the reason why she had caught up was because she was betting that the other party was holding more than just such a small amount of immortal crystals.
“I guess you’re actually not in dire need of magic crystals, that’s why you claimed to only have one or two hundred Immortal Crystals in your hand after hearing the price quoted by that stall owner.”
The dwarf devil spread his hands, “Of course, it’s also possible that I guessed wrong.”
Xu Chuniang was noncommittal, “Then what price can you offer?”
The gnome devil hesitated a little and cautiously quoted, “Currently, the price of immortal crystals and magic crystals on the market is one for two, so how about trading at the market price?”
One for two, four times higher than the offer given by the previous stall owner, and more in line with Xu Chuniang’s mental expectations, it seemed that this midget devil was sincere in wanting to make a deal with her.
“Yes.”
Joy flashed across the dwarf devil’s eyes, “I wonder how many Immortal Crystals you have on hand to offer?”
“Not much, just ten thousand.”
“Alright.” The dwarf devil took out a scroll, crossed his index finger under Xu Chuniang’s gaze, and wrote on the scroll with his finger as a pen and blood as magic.
As she wrote, she explained, “The purpose of the blood pact is to ensure the authenticity of the goods and the safety of the transaction, and to prevent certain people with bad intentions from substituting good for bad.”
It didn’t take long for a new blood contract to be born.
After checking it over to make sure it was correct, the dwarf demon punched his own soul breath into it and handed the scroll over to Xu Chuniang.
“If there’s no problem, just type soul breath into it.”
Xu Chunniang took the scroll and scanned it, sending a strand into it.
In a sense, this type of transaction was, well, reliable.
Because the cost of breaking the blood pact was too great, no demon would be willing to take that risk of tampering with the deal.
With a satisfied smile, the dwarf devil took out an animal skin-like bag and handed it to Xu Chuniang, “Here are 20,000 magic crystals, you can check to see if there are any missing pieces.”
Xu Chunniang took the beast skin bag and casually swept it with her divine sense before putting it away and taking out ten thousand immortal crystals and handing it to the dwarf devil.
The Dwarf Demon took the Immortal Crystals and casually weighed them, putting them away without even glancing at them, with the blood contract in place, she was very relieved about this deal.
Before leaving, she handed a leaf to Xu Chuniang.
“Happy cooperation, if you still have Immortal Crystals in your hand, crush this blade and you can contact me, of course, if you want to buy Immortal Crystals, you can likewise look for me, but the price will be slightly more expensive.”
After witnessing the dwarf demon disappear into the earth, Xu Chuniang put away the leaf blade that the other party had given her after applying several layers of seals to it.
Had she known that she would be able to trade for magic crystals with immortal crystals, she wouldn’t have had to sign a blood contract with the bat-winged demon.
However, the gnome devil’s last words reminded her that she was a dual cultivator of Immortal and Demon, and that there was no urgency to use Immortal Crystals at the moment, and that there would always be a time when she would need Immortal Crystals in the future.
Xu Chuniang took out a piece of magic crystal and casually crushed it, a strand of pure magic qi spread out from it and was incorporated into her body.
The demonic qi entered her body, like a tiny demonic insect, crazily tearing at her flesh and blood, bringing a series of painful sensations of being devoured.
However, the amount of demonic qi contained in a piece of magic crystal was too little, but in a matter of moments, the pain of being devoured and bitten disappeared, and the enhancement of strength was close to nothing.
After experiencing the unique cultivation method of magic qi, Xu Chuniang did not continue, but instead found a secluded spot and quietly waited for news from the bat-winged demon.
Two days later, the bat feather she carried with her suddenly became hot.
Xu Chunniang took out the bat feather, and in the next moment, the bat feather ignited without wind, and the firelight converged into the face of the Batwing Demon Man.
“The time has come, within three hours, come quickly to Wangfeng Valley to rendezvous.”
As soon as his words fell, the fire light went out, and the bat feather completely turned into ashes.
Wind Watching Valley was at the fringe of the Magic Capital, and a little further north, one would leave the Magic Capital.
It seemed that the location of this operation was nine times out of ten outside of the Magic Capital.
Xu Chuniang got up and flew in the direction of Wangfeng Valley.
