The footsteps stopped, and the cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of Tribulation Transcension looked at the third Natal Spirit Puppet who had asked him to halt with some confusion.
"Manager, is there anything else you need from me?"
The third Natal Spirit Puppet nodded slightly.
"Please, Daoist friend. I do indeed have something I wish to discuss with you."
After speaking, the third Natal Spirit Puppet beckoned to the cultivator before him, signaling him to follow him to the guest reception room behind the Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
As for the main hall in front of the medicine pavilion, although Li Qi did not trust other cultivators enough to let them manage a branch independently.
However, with the Natal Spirit Puppet as the manager, recruiting some reception staff was not an issue.
The cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of Tribulation Transcension saw this and did not fear that the manager of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion would do anything to him.
He was, after all, a cultivator at the eighth level of Tribulation Transcension. With his current combat power, it would be extremely difficult even for someone at the ninth level of Tribulation Transcension to subdue him.
Moreover, he was just a regular customer coming to buy pills. The manager of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion had no reason to find trouble with him.
Seeing the manager of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion ask to speak with him in detail, the eighth-level Tribulation Transcension cultivator actually showed a slight smile.
It was unlikely that the manager of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion was looking for him for idle chat. Since there was something he needed, if it wasn't a big matter, he could also give the manager some face and help him resolve it. Perhaps it would make it easier for him to buy pills later.
With this thought, the cultivator followed the third Natal Spirit Puppet inside.
...
In the reception room, the third Natal Spirit Puppet and the eighth-level Tribulation Transcension cultivator had already entered.
"May I ask what business you have with me, Manager? If I can be of assistance, I will surely do my utmost to help," Wu Tong said, cupping his hands towards the third Natal Spirit Puppet.
The third Natal Spirit Puppet's expression remained unchanged as his inquiry slowly sounded.
"May I ask how far your location is from this Void Black Market?"
Upon hearing this question, Wu Tong was slightly stunned, not quite understanding the reason behind the third Natal Spirit Puppet's query.
However, he still pondered for a moment before answering.
"It's about seven or eight Void Black Markets away. At full speed, it took me quite some time to arrive."
"Seven or eight Void Black Markets. That is indeed quite far."
For instance, the small area called Fang San District surrounding the Void Black Market where the Penguin Medicine Pavilion managed by the third Natal Spirit Puppet was located was at least as large as several former Yin Zong Domains.
And each of these small areas surrounding a single Void Black Market contained countless areas similar to Fang San District.
Under such circumstances, Wu Tong still came from a distance of seven or eight Void Black Markets.
It was fortunate that he was a cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of Tribulation Transcension.
If it were someone with a lower cultivation, they would likely not know how long they would have to travel incessantly to reach here.
In general, in such a large place, it was already a very troublesome matter for people from other Void Black Markets to come to the Penguin Medicine Pavilion to buy pills.
At this moment, the third Natal Spirit Puppet finally revealed his purpose for summoning Wu Tong.
"Daoist friend, are you interested in becoming an offline agent for my Penguin Medicine Pavilion?"
"Offline agent? What is an offline agent?"
Upon hearing this novel term, Wu Tong was a little confused, and he didn't even understand what the third Natal Spirit Puppet was saying.
The third Natal Spirit Puppet was not bothered by this and slowly explained.
"If you still have resources on hand, I can sell you some pills at a low price, and you can take them back to your Void Black Market to sell. The price you sell them at will depend entirely on your ability."
Immediately, Wu Tong understood what the third Natal Spirit Puppet meant, and his eyes flickered slightly.
He secretly calculated the resources he had with him.
As a cultivator at the eighth level of Tribulation Transcension, he did not have a lot of pure spirit stones.
However, he did have many miscellaneous resources. Coupled with the Will of Heaven as a hard currency, if Wu Tong were truly willing to convert all his resources into spirit stones, he could indeed buy quite a few more pills.
But there was no need.
For Wu Tong, it was only because he was about to break through to the ninth level of Tribulation Transcension and the inner demons he might encounter could be terrifying, that he gritted his teeth and bought two Jade Dew Amity Pills.
In reality, for most people, if inner demons truly grew and spread, one Jade Dew Amity Pill would be more than enough.
Buying an extra one was merely for peace of mind.
It wasn't that he was particularly wealthy.
Instead, he knew that such high-priced pills were always in demand.
If the inner demons were truly too terrifying when he broke through to the ninth level of Tribulation Transcension and he needed to consume two, then so be it.
If he only consumed one and had another left, he could sell it at a loss of tens of thousands of spirit stones, which he could still afford.
But now, the manager before him said he could sell him a batch of pills at a low price for him to sell.
"Manager, how much of a discount are you willing to offer me?"
"Ninety percent of the original price, how about it?"
The price of one Jade Dew Amity Pill was 1.3 million spirit stones.
Ninety percent of the original price was 1.17 million spirit stones.
This left a profit of 130,000.
Furthermore, there was no shortage of buyers for Jade Dew Amity Pills, which were extremely useful.
After all, the price of Jade Dew Amity Pills sold by the Mo Dao Merchant Association where he was was also 1.3 million, but their efficacy was far less potent than those from the Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Wu Tong's eyes lit up slightly.
"Daoist friend, if you are truly willing to sell me a batch at a ninety percent price, then I am willing to purchase."
As he spoke, Wu Tong began to secretly calculate all the resources he had.
Apart from some that he also needed and could not exchange for money.
Soon, spatial rings were brought out by Wu Tong.
In the end, Wu Tong took out resources worth over 30 million spirit stones.
Of course, among these, pure spirit stones alone were a meager tens of thousands.
It was evident that even for a cultivator of Wu Tong's level, the amount of pure spirit stones he carried was not much. The remaining spirit stones were converted from equivalent resources.
