Chapter 1045.
Luodu Immortal City, Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
As a famous big chamber of commerce in the immortal cultivation world, the name of Four Seas was spread throughout the heavens and the worlds, and basically all the bigger immortal cities in the Haotian Realm had branches, and Luodu was naturally no exception.
The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce occupied a whole five stores on the busiest main street of this immortal city.
It had a great reputation.
Of course, compared to the Wanbao Pavilion half a block away, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was still a step behind, and the former’s twelve-story high pavilion was a landmark in this earth-level immortal city.
However, compared to the Wanbao Pavilion that kills without using a knife, Wang Chen prefers the more grounded Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
He was also considered an old customer of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and he also had a “VIP card” of this immortal merchant.
“Mr. Wang, what can I do for you?”
Seeing Wang Chen who stepped into the hall, a middle-aged cultivator immediately greeted him with a smile and invited him to the elegant room for a private talk.
In the past year, Wang Chuan’s transactions in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce’s Luodu Branch had exceeded 100,000 Zhongling, making him a large customer.
The treatment was naturally different from ordinary customers.
“Shopkeeper Chen ……”
After Wang Chen sat down in the elegant room, he opened the door and asked, “Do you have any third-order Fire Phase Spirit Flame in stock here?”
His first choice for purchasing cultivation resources now was the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
Second was the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Lastly, it was the local merchants.
The reason was simple, both the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had first-rate strong goodwill, and Wang Chen didn’t have to worry at all that his information would be leaked out.
The local merchants would be hard to say, and behind each of them probably stood a major power that Wang Chuan simply couldn’t afford to mess with.
“Third-order Fire Phase Spirit Flame?”
Boss Chen frowned and asked, “Is it urgent?”
He explained, “It’s not available in stock, but I can draw from other branches or apply to the main number, it’ll probably take three to five days.”
“Three to five days is fine.”
Wang Chen released, “What about the price?”
Boss Chen’s smile grew even wider: “Wang Zhengen, it is not that I intentionally raised the price, but spirit fire is rare, the third-order fire phase spirit fire belongs to the treasures of heavenly materials, and can only be traded with the upper spirit.”
Wang Dust nodded silently.
Many precious heavenly materials and earth treasures had specific requirements in terms of trading, such as only upper spirit, or bartering.
Although it was said that upper spirits and middle spirits were exchanged and circulated in the market, in reality, cultivators holding upper spirits would never easily exchange middle spirits unless they had no choice.
Those who wanted to exchange their medium spirit for an upper spirit often had to pay a very high premium.
And the more demand there was, the higher the premium!
The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was certainly not poor in spirit stones, and when he said he wanted the upper spirit, then he definitely wouldn’t accept the middle spirit.
Wang Chen could only admit it, “Name your price.”
Shopkeeper Chen raised a finger, “One thousand, no counteroffer.”
Wang Chen let out a long breath, “Okay.”
One thousand spirits, it would be a lie to say that it didn’t hurt.
If Wang Chen hadn’t harvested a large amount of medium and high grade spirit stones from killing four real people earlier, he wouldn’t be able to get so much upper spirit now, so his heart ached, but not to the extent of digging out his heart and plucking out his lungs.
But from a cost perspective, he had purchased a thousand upper spirit spirit flames in order to help Realist Shen refine flying swords, that was definitely a big loss, a loss that had reached his grandmother’s house!
However, Little Ding had also said that if he could gather all the third-order five elemental flames, he would be able to condense the fourth-order Infernal Flame, and at that time, not to mention magic treasures, even higher-order spirit treasures could be refined.
It would still be worthwhile to do the math this way!
Wang Chen tried to inquire about the prices of the other four types of spirit flames.
The answer he received made his jaw drop.
Shopkeeper Chen told Wang Chen that within the third-order spirit flames, the Fire Phase Spirit Flame was the easiest to obtain, so the price was also the cheapest.
The other four were more expensive, especially the price of the Water Phase Spirit Flame was actually five times that of the Fire Phase.
Five thousand upper spirits!
And this kind of spirit fire is basically not in stock, it needs to be booked in advance, a year and a half to get it.
Wang Chen roughly calculated that he would have to take out around thirteen thousand upper spirits if he wanted to gather the five elemental flames.
No wonder the great refiners were all working for the big powers, and the casuals couldn’t even afford to buy a spirit fire!
After paying the thirty percent deposit, Wang Chen left the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
He didn’t have to wait too long, after only four days, Shopkeeper Chen sent him a message.
The goods had arrived.
Coincidentally, right after Wang Dust got the third-order Fire Phase Spirit Flame, Realist Shen sent over the materials for refining the flying sword.
So the two signed the spell contract on the spot.
Because it was the first private customization business, Wang Chen’s opening price was not high at all, and he also agreed with the other party that if the flying sword refining failed, then he would have to pay for all the materials!
It was like Wang Chen had taken all the risks.
But there was nothing he could do about it, and he had to thank Realist Shen for giving himself a chance to build a reputation.
“After half a month, you come to pick up the sword!”
Realist Shen was stunned, “Half a month is enough?”
In general, it was normal for a great refiner to refine a magic treasure for a month or two, and for a heavy weapon in a magic weapon like a flying sword, it often took even longer, and for Wang Dust to actually only need half a month was a bit beyond his imagination.
Wang Dust laughed, “A month then.”
“Half a month is best!”
Realist Shen immediately changed his words, “Then please, Fellow Daoist!”
Although Wang Dust was young, he didn’t look like the kind of person who was frivolous and preferred big words at all, and since he dared to promise to make the sword in half a month, Shen Zhen Zhen was too full to bother with him.
As long as the quality can be guaranteed, the length of time does not matter at all!
But in this way, Shen Zhen Zhen Zhen also has more and deeper expectations for this Red Sky Sword that Wang Duan customized for himself.
After Realist Shen left, Wang Chen summoned Su Ziling and told the latter that he was going to be in seclusion for half a month.
He then went to the refining room and opened the spell formation to close the portal.
“Get to work!”
Wang Chen patted the Life Creation Cauldron that was placed in the center of the chamber and called out the Weapon Spirit Little Cauldron.
The small tripod cheered, “Master, did you buy the fire seed?”
“Uh-huh.”
Wang Chen took out the spirit box that hid the third-order fire phase spirit fire, and after opening the box’s lid, a hot and bright flame jumped out and condensed.
A wave of heat swept out in all directions, causing the temperature in the room to climb abruptly.
If it wasn’t for the Spirit Box’s own formation that suppressed the spirit flame, the might it naturally released would have been enough to melt the surrounding rock walls, turning the hard rocks into magma!
“Not bad, not bad!”
Xiao Ding clapped his hands, “Master, quickly send in the spirit fire.”
Wang Chen flexed his fingers and flicked the spirit fire in the box into the precious tripod, which immediately blazed with light and took on a crimson color.
The spirit fire into the tripod also needed a refining process, and it took Wang Chen a day and a night to completely tame this third-order fire phase spirit fire with the cooperation of the small tripod.
Then he began to refine the Red Sky Sword.
This refining was another seven days and seven nights.
