Wearing the same cloak he had used before, True Lord Dalang once again stealthily entered the Myriad Treasures Spiritual Materials area.

Unfortunately, the shop owner was serving customers at that moment.

"If you need to see the boss, you can wait in the VIP room. Our boss is quick in business and won't take up too much time."

The shop has been improved by Ye Feng; customers at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages will be reminded at the counter upon entering.

Chen Ying and Ma Yun, who were assigned to the counter by Ye Feng, will soon be reminded to personally greet the staff.

"Well then..."

Before the Great Wave True Lord could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of three people in matching black cloaks entering through the doorway...

———

Inside the VIP private room,

The three people opposite Ye Feng had gloomy eyes and were somewhat incredulous, but they still sat down again.

The other party's spiritual water floated above the table. Ye Feng lightly raised his other hand, and another drop of the same spiritual water appeared at his fingertip.

With a gentle push, two drops of spiritual water flew towards each other simultaneously.

The three exchanged and examined the spiritual water, finding it to be exactly as described. Moreover, the drop of spiritual water the shopkeeper had taken out appeared to be freshly condensed.

The three of them silently transmitted their voices.

Third brother: "Senior brother, it's true!"

Second Brother: "Perhaps it's a drop that originated from another sect."

Boss: "Then pay up, make him give us 10,000 drops!"

After the three finished discussing, the eldest brother cupped his hands and spoke.

"The shop owner is indeed very resourceful; this is exactly what we need. However, we need 10,000 drops. I wonder if the owner can provide that?"

Ye Feng smiled.

"No problem, no problem. Ten thousand drops is nothing. It's just that this spiritual water is extremely rare, and the price..."

"Five million per drop!"

Ye Feng remained silent... but it seemed the silence technique had no effect.

Because the three brothers on the other side only carried this much money together.

Moreover, within the sect, the required contribution points for the exchange are only about five million.

Of course, its actual value is much higher. If it comes into the hands of someone who urgently needs it, it wouldn't be surprising to sell it for 100 million!

But the three believed that the shopkeeper across the street could not possibly produce that much Soul-Sculpting Water.

Then we'll slowly fabricate a story and demand compensation!

Five million top-grade spirit stones would require a ring nearly a hundred cubic meters in size to hold. The other party unlocked the ring's restrictions, allowing Ye Feng to examine it.

After it was all over, Ye Feng nodded, which meant he accepted the price.

Actually, he didn't have a bottom price; it's just that his long history of transactions had led him to observe a pattern.

That is, the rarer the item, the higher its price will be.

Just like the Nascent Soul Fruit, he calculated the price tenfold using the Golden Fruit method.

But in reality, even at a 50x exchange rate, worth 1 billion each, he sold quite a few, and everyone else seemed genuinely happy about it.

Theoretically speaking, this spiritual water should be more than five times the normal amount.

But that's not always the case...

In any case, he couldn't just give up those 40 billion in profits.

With a thought, the system rapidly absorbed the billions of spirit stones within his personal space.

At the same time, drops of unknown spiritual water were exchanged.

Five hundred billion spirit stones would require a large ring to hold, but ten thousand drops of spirit water... would only fill a little over a bowl.

Ye Feng even specially found an exquisite jade cup to hold it, to show how precious it was...

"Three people! Please identify them!"

The three of them had been on edge the moment the jade cup appeared.

Almost no inspection is needed; one can identify it at a glance simply by the scent it emits.

This is the sect's unique treasure, the Soul-Shaping Water!

The other person's hand trembled slightly as they took the jade cup. After confirming it several times, the three of them simultaneously concluded that this... was it!

"You... how dare you steal my sect's most precious treasure! Unforgivable..."

The jade cup was put into the storage ring by the other party, and the pressure of the three Nascent Soul cultivators was released at the same time, locking onto Ye Feng!

What the hell is this?

———

The Great Wave True Lord and the three who had just appeared stared at each other, their eyes practically burning with rage.

"You three old bastards, you actually followed me!"

"Hehehe... Big Wave, you're the real bastard! Instead of guarding the sect, you actually ran off all by yourself..."

"Treasure Trove of Spiritual Materials... They have all kinds of spiritual materials... You didn't just buy them here, did you?"

"20% off everything? You didn't overcharge us by 300 million, did you?"

Now that things have come to this, even if True Lord Dalang doesn't admit it, there's nothing they can do. They can naturally verify it with the shop owner.

If the shop owner knew he had leaked the information, he certainly wouldn't cover it up for him.

"So what if it is? Are you saying you won't buy it even if it costs 1.6 billion?"

The three were speechless upon hearing this. Given the circumstances, they would have bought it for at least two billion, let alone sixteen billion.

This would both reduce the number of Nascent Soul Fruits in Da Lang's hands and increase the foundation of his own sect by two.

But now that I know there are stores selling them, it feels a little different...

"The four of you, why don't you all go into the private room and wait together?"

The four cloaked figures standing by the counter were already quite eye-catching, but the fact that they were speaking in cryptic language only piqued the curiosity of the others.

The four nodded and were about to follow the staff to the private room.

Sudden,

Three streams of spiritual pressure flashed past the bakery in front. Although they were suppressed by the array for only a moment, the four people still showed surprise on their faces.

Late Nascent Soul stage!

In no time, the restrictions on the private room were lifted, and the shop owner used his divine sense to guide the three people, who were bound like dumplings, out of the room...

The four men, including Da Lang, exchanged a shocked glance.

"These are... the Three Ghostly Demons! Elders of the Ghostly Upper Sect!!"

As the four people passed by, Ye Feng immediately recognized them as returning customers from the Canghai Sect and greeted them warmly.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I've run into some guys trying to steal my things. I'll throw them out first and be right back!"

The four of them dared not speak, and turned their heads to the corner of the wall, afraid that the three ghostly spirits would see their eyes.

Ye Feng walked to the door, casually tossed something aside, and the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs rolled three times on the ground like mortals before finally getting up.

"Fifty billion spirit stones is the penalty for your breach of contract. You didn't buy the items yourselves, so don't blame me for being heartless!"

The three of them got up and looked at Ye Feng, their eyes filled with both anger and fear.

In a single exchange, all three had their spiritual power sealed, and the ghostly spirits they released were annihilated by an unknown attack before they could even make a move.

Even if the other side has a formation to assist them, they shouldn't act like this.

They... are from a superior sect, cultivating the Netherworld Great Art. Even at sea, if they encountered a local Nascent Soul cultivator with the amplification of the sea area, they wouldn't be able to take down three of them in a single encounter, would they?

Moreover, the unknown sealing technique used by the opponent meant that the three of them couldn't sense even a trace of spiritual power, making them feel completely like ordinary mortals.

They didn't even dare to utter a harsh word, and could only slink away in disgrace...

But this is definitely not the end of the story!

Stealing the sect's most precious treasure and humiliating the sect's elders.

This person must pay the price!!
