Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 104: Preparation

"Where can I buy Demon Attraction Powder?" Fang Hong asked. He really needed some Demon Attraction Powder, otherwise it would delay his hunting plan.

"Hehe, Senior, you’re in luck. Our Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce has Demon Attraction Powder for sale, and it’s the only place on the whole island!"

"This is our association’s unique formula; you won’t find it anywhere else!" Xiao Shi said with a giggle.

"Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce, could it be an industry under the famous Four Seas Sect?" Fang Hong asked curiously.

"Precisely, Senior!" Xiao Shi nodded repeatedly.

"Our Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce is a subsidiary industry managed by the Four Seas Sect, guaranteeing credibility and fair dealings."

"Alright, take me to see it."

"Senior, please follow me." Xiao Shi led the way on her Flying Sword.

Fang Hong also followed on his Flying Sword, flying beside her.

As the two flew through the air, Xiao Shi’s mouth was not idle, constantly introducing the various services of the association.

"Uh, Senior, since you’ve just arrived in Four Seas City, do you need an Immortal Cave to settle down? Our Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce also offers Immortal Cave rentals."

"We have various Cultivation Immortal Caves with rich Spiritual Qi, reasonable prices, and complete varieties, very suitable for a distinguished person like you to cultivate and go into seclusion."

"In addition, our association also operates the business of acquiring Demonic Beast materials and demon cores."

"If Senior slays a Demonic Beast, you can sell it to our association; the price is definitely the best on the entire island."

Along the way, Xiao Shi was like a chattering little bird, constantly promoting the association’s various services with extreme enthusiasm.

Fang Hong, however, was not annoyed; he listened quietly, occasionally nodding in response.

...

Half an hour later, Xiao Shi led Fang Hong to an ancient two-story pavilion.

A huge golden plaque hung in front of the pavilion’s door, with the four characters "Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce" written on it, the brushstrokes steady and the aura extraordinary.

"Senior, we’ve arrived at the Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce, please follow me." Xiao Shi said softly. After landing on the ground, she led the way, and Fang Hong followed closely behind her.

Entering the association’s interior, the hall was spacious and bright, with grand and solemn decorations.

Xiao Shi led Fang Hong through the wide corridor and soon arrived at a counter.

Behind the counter stood a middle-aged man in black, with a stern face, busy handling some matters.

His Qi fluctuations were not weak; he was clearly at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation.

Xiao Shi walked up and spoke to the black-clad middle-aged man in a low voice for a few moments, making a simple registration.

The black-clad middle-aged man looked up and saw that Fang Hong’s aura was unfathomable. He immediately approached respectfully.

"Senior, Xiao Shi said you want to buy Demon Attraction Powder?"

"Mm." Fang Hong nodded, and asked directly, "How much is the Demon Attraction Powder?"

"Senior, our Demon Attraction Powder is divided into several grades, from grade 1 to grade 6, and the prices also vary. Which grade do you want?" The black-clad middle-aged man’s attitude was gentle, with a smile on his face.

"Grades? Does that mean the effectiveness of this Demon Attraction Powder varies with its grade?"

"Yes, Senior." The black-clad middle-aged man explained, "Grade 1 Demon Attraction Powder can only attract grade 1 Demonic Beasts, while grade 2 can attract grade 2 Demonic Beasts, and so on."

"The higher the grade, the stronger the Demonic Beasts attracted."

Fang Hong pondered in silence. According to this person, he should buy Demon Attraction Powder of grades 5, 6, and 7 to be suitable.

"You just said there’s only grade 1 to 6 Demon Attraction Powder, so why isn’t there grade 7?" Fang Hong asked in confusion.

"There is also grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder, but grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder is relatively precious, and fewer customers buy it, so you need to make an appointment with us in advance and customize it."

"Grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder can attract grade 7 Demonic Beasts. Senior, as you know, Demonic Beasts of this grade are already comparable to Late stage of Golden Core cultivators, and very few cultivators dare to provoke them." The black-clad middle-aged man explained with a smile.

Fang Hong nodded, understanding the reason. He continued, "Since that’s the case, then give me some grade 6 Demon Attraction Powder first. How much is it?"

"We sell it by the jin. grade 6 Demon Attraction Powder is sixty low-grade spirit stoness per jin. Senior, how many jin do you want to buy?"

"Sold by the jin? How long does one jin last?" Fang Hong was a little surprised.

"If used at a normal frequency every day, one jin can last about seven to eight days," the middle-aged man replied.

Fang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Then give me a hundred jin first."

A hundred jin of Demon Attraction Powder should be enough for him for one or two years.

"Ah? A hundred jin?!" The middle-aged man almost thought he misheard. "Senior, are you... not joking?"

Ordinary cultivators never bought more than ten jin of Demon Attraction Powder, and twenty jin was already the limit.

This Senior asking for a hundred jin at once was truly astonishing.

Xiao Shi, standing nearby, also widened her eyes, looking at Fang Hong with a shocked expression.

"What? Can I not buy a hundred jin at once?" Fang Hong asked in confusion.

"Of course you can, of course you can!" The black-clad middle-aged man quickly waved his hand, smiling awkwardly.

"It’s just that very few people buy so much at once, hahaha."

Afterward, the black-clad middle-aged man walked to a cabinet and began rummaging through the drawers inside.

A moment later, he returned to the counter, holding a storage bag, and said apologetically, "Senior, I’m sorry, but we only have twenty jin of grade 6 Demon Attraction Powder left in stock. It will take some time to replenish."

"We still have sixty jin of grade 5 Demon Attraction Powder. Do you want to buy that as well?"

"Good, I’ll take it all. Calculate the price." Fang Hong nodded.

"Grade 5 Demon Attraction Powder is forty low-grade spirit stoness per jin, plus the grade 6. Senior, you want a total of eighty jin, for a total of three thousand six hundred low-grade spirit stoness." The middle-aged man respectfully handed over the storage bag.

Fang Hong took it, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he saw two piles of blue powder in the pouch, one dark and one light, corresponding to different grades of Demon Attraction Powder.

He flipped his palm and took out thirty-six Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, handing them to the middle-aged man.

Xiao Shi, watching from the side, couldn’t help but click her tongue in secret, sighing in her heart: As expected of a Core Formation Stage Senior, he spends thousands of spirit stones without hesitation.

"You just said grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder needs to be custom-ordered in advance? Then help me order a hundred jin; I’ll come pick it up later." Fang Hong said calmly.

"What! O-one hundred jin of grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder!" The black-clad middle-aged man exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.

This Senior is too abnormal, isn’t he? Wanting so much Advanced Demon Attraction Powder, does he really think grade 7 Demonic Beasts are that easy to kill.

Sweat subtly beaded on the black-clad middle-aged man’s forehead. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Senior, grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder is limited in quantity and extremely difficult to refine. Ordering a hundred jin at once. I’m afraid I’ll have to consult the association’s higher-ups."

"How about, you order fifty jin first?" He cautiously probed.

"That’s fine, fifty jin it is." Fang Hong didn’t mind.

"The materials for refining grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder are scarce, and the price is higher. Each jin requires one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stoness. We need to collect a deposit of two thousand low-grade spirit stoness."

Fang Hong again took out twenty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to him.

The black-clad middle-aged man immediately took out a red-gold token from the cabinet and handed it to Fang Hong: "This is your order voucher. Once the refining is complete, you can retrieve the goods with this."

Fang Hong took the token and casually asked, "Is there any grade 8 Demon Attraction Powder?"
