Upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, the man realized the risk of the transaction. He quickly checked his storage ring and indeed found 500,000 spirit stones.
The ability to effortlessly produce 500,000 spirit stones was enough to indicate Qin Feng’s extremely high status and position. The ease with which he handed over these spirit stones also proved that he was not afraid of the man running away, confident that he could find him wherever he went. This was a full display of his self-assurance in his own strength.
With this thought, he quickly patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back within an hour. I’ll go home to get them right away.”
After saying this, he hurried towards the outskirts of the city. His mood was exceptionally joyous, bordering on extreme excitement. If this deal went through, his future life would be worry-free. With such immense wealth, he could live a life of luxury for the rest of his days, and even his descendants would not have to worry.
In this world, they would be wealthy for generations to come. Such a vast sum of wealth would be their family’s future reliance.
He never expected that the rare herbs he had treasured for many years would actually sell for such a sky-high price. Initially, he thought his grandfather had deceived him, believing that although the herbs were precious, they weren't worth much. He had intended to sell them for any price, but since he couldn’t find a buyer, he had to keep them at home. He could only sell ordinary herbs to make a meager living.
But unexpectedly, today he finally met a buyer for these herbs. If it weren’t for his grandfather’s dying words, he wouldn’t have quoted such a sky-high price of 500,000 spirit stones. He had expected the other party to haggle, in which case he would have sold them. But he never imagined that the other party would not bargain at all and would directly give him the 500,000 spirit stones.
As he ran, he silently thanked his grandfather’s spirit.
About half an hour later, the man rushed back. He directly placed four types of herbs in Qin Feng’s hand and said, “These are four of the types you requested. I’ve already instructed a relative to bring the other three immediately. They should arrive in about two days. You’ll just need to give me another 200,000 spirit stones. I’ll give you a discount on those three herbs, how about that?”
Looking at the four herbs in his hand, Qin Feng didn’t recognize them as he had never seen the types of medicinal herbs the man mentioned. However, he could sense the properties contained within them. With his current strength, doing so was very easy. These four herbs all contained peculiar components that were beneficial to the spirit. Although he didn’t know what kind of benefits they would provide, his instincts told him so.
When his strength reached the late stage of Void Refinement, he could sense things that ordinary people couldn’t. The components in these herbs were easier to detect than the spiritual energy in the air. He could even detect the wind attribute in spiritual energy, so naturally, he could clearly sense the attributes in the herbs.
Thus, he nodded and said, “Deal. Bring the herbs in two days, and I’ll give you the remaining 200,000 spirit stones.”
The other party nodded, then turned and walked towards the outskirts of the city. He no longer intended to continue selling ordinary herbs at his stall. With such a vast fortune, he no longer needed to work.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, looked at the herbs in his hand and directly placed them into his storage ring. He could feel that the man was not lying because the special components contained within these four herbs were not found in other herbs.
With the other man’s strength, he wouldn’t dare lie to him. The fact that Qin Feng could produce 500,000 spirit stones for a single transaction allowed the man to understand his identity. If he had tried to deceive Qin Feng, he would not only fail to get the 500,000 spirit stones but his entire family would also lose their lives. As someone who had been operating in Qingxi City for many years, he couldn’t possibly not know this.
While waiting for the two days, Qin Feng found an inn to stay in. He focused his mind on developing his Red Alert talent, intending to upgrade his money-duplicating ability to the next level, reaching a completely new magnitude of wealth, and striving to purchase mythical-grade equipment as soon as possible.
This way, when he reached the Immortal realm or above, and the moment the seal was broken, he would have sufficient means of self-preservation. Qin Feng was well aware that the contract he had signed was fraught with danger. Even if he completely followed the contract’s terms to break the seal and rescue that powerful being, it was unlikely that the other party would not kill him.
Even if the other party didn’t kill him, the powerful entity that sealed that being would certainly not let him off easily. Therefore, before reaching the Immortal realm, he had to ensure he had enough ability to protect himself. Reaching the Immortal realm or above was a realm beyond his current imagination. It was possible that even a vast number of Red Alert units would not be a match for the opponent.
Moreover, while the Mutual Attack Mutual Defense formation was powerful, it was also very easy to break.
The sealed being’s mastery of formations was beyond his imagination, and breaking the Mutual Attack Mutual Defense formation would be very easy. With that being’s knowledge and strength, it might only take a snap of his fingers to break the Mutual Attack Mutual Defense formation. Therefore, only by elevating his own strength to a completely new level and arming himself with mythical-grade equipment could he possibly remain undefeated in a confrontation. Relying on the vast Red Alert units, the sheer advantage in numbers might not bring him a direct improvement.
Thus, Qin Feng no longer intended to expand his Red Alert units for now. Instead, he would wholeheartedly focus on developing his Red Alert talent, significantly increasing his money-duplicating ability.
In this manner, two days passed unnoticed. The man returned as agreed. As soon as the man entered the city, Qin Feng had already sensed him. He descended from the inn and waited by the roadside for the man. Simultaneously, he placed 200,000 spirit stones into his storage ring and handed it to the man. The man, in turn, handed the remaining three types of herbs to Qin Feng.
The transaction was successfully completed, and the man left happily. Qin Feng also obtained what he desired. However, it was not the time for alchemy; he needed to reach the Savage World before rescuing 204.
Now that everything was in place, all that remained was to wait for the teleportation array to open.
Another two days passed, and the teleportation array finally opened. Qin Feng, carrying sufficient spirit stones, arrived before the teleportation array.
This time, the guards of the teleportation array had been replaced. The previous guards had been affected by the great battle, with some dead and others injured.
Qin Feng paid the spirit stones and, leading his Red Alert units, returned to the original location: the Savage Land!
