Chapter 920 — Phoenix Down

Chapter 920 - Phoenix Down

"What? The Sect Master's disciple threatened to stop concocting pills for the sect if we don't give her friend a discount?" The Manager of the Alchemy Store doubted his ears for a moment after hearing the Elder's words, who was on the verge of crying when he arrived.

"Can you please do something about this, Elder Bei? If Disciple Wang stops concocting pills, the Sect Master will kill us!"

"Calm down, it's just a discount. We can just consider Disciple Wang as the purchaser, not her friend." Elder Bei said.

Sometime later, Elder Bei went to greet Wang Xiuying and Yuan.

"Hello, Disciple Wang and her friend. I have heard the situation. It's just a discount, there's no need for such drastic measures. How does a 75 percent discount sound? Also, there's no need to pay for the visitor's fee, so the total will be 250,000 spirit stones." Elder Bei said to them.

"What do you think? If it's not enough, I can ask them to lower it some more." Wang Xiuying turned to ask Yuan, causing a bittersweet smile to appear on the Elder's face.

"250,000 spirit stones, huh? Do you accept treasures as a payment? I am currently short on spirit stones." Yuan asked him.

"Of course. We accept all sorts of treasures, but we recommend ones that benefit our sect the most, such as herbs and medicine."

"Sounds good."

"Please, follow me to the counter."

Yuan and Wang Xiuying proceeded to follow Elder Bei to the counter.

"Show me what you've got." Elder Bei said to Yuan afterward.

Yuan immediately began dumping out the Gu Family's treasure. Of course, most of these treasures belonged to the Gu Family from the Lower Heavens, as he has yet to remove the Destiny Seals from the other treasures.

"T-That's a lot of treasures…" Elder Bei said. He clearly did not expect such a quantity of treasures from Yuan, and most of them appeared to be Heaven-grade and higher.

Elder Bei also called for someone who can evaluate these treasures.

Sometime later, Elder Bei picked three treasures out of the twenty four treasures and said, "I will sell you the Stainless Cauldron for these three treasures. The total of these treasures will sell for around 275,000 spirit stones, so we'll give you 25,000 spirit stones back. What do you say?"

Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking in a calm voice, "Since you have an expert, I will also let my expert decide. Feng Feng, what do you think?"

Feng Yuxiang appeared beside him the next moment, shocking everyone there.

She ignored their gazes and looked at the three treasures and said, "I can easily get 500,000 spirit stones out of these three treasures."

"E-Excuse me, but who are you?" The Alchemy Store's examiner asked for Feng Yuxiang's background, which is very normal in these kinds of situations where one's qualifications mattered very much.

"You may not know me here, but I owned one of the best stores in the Lower Heavens. With that being said, 15,000 years ago, I operated a store called 'Phoenix Down' in Spirit Heaven. Have you heard of it?" Feng Yuxiang said.

The examiner pondered with a profound frown on his face.

'Phoenix Down…? Why does it sound so familiar?' Elder Bei wondered to himself.

After a few moments of silence, the Alchemy Store's examiner suddenly came to a realization and exclaimed in a shocked voice, "Phoenix Down! I remember now! There is a legend of a store by such a name! According to the legend, it was an immensely popular store that sold all sorts of treasures that could only be found in the Third Heaven and above, and they were all being sold in Spirit Heaven!"

"Furthermore, the owner of this store is a mystery, but rumors say it was a woman with beauty that outshines all treasures in the store!"

"However, the store only operated for a hundred years before it suddenly disappeared."

"Are you telling me that you're the owner of that legendary Phoenix Down?!"

The examiner asked Feng Yuxiang.

Although her beauty was definitely up to standards with the legend, unless she had concrete proof that she was the owner, it wouldn't matter even if she was the most beautiful woman in the Nine Heavens.

"Of course. Here's my certification and license. It expired 15,000 years ago, but it proves that the Phoenix Down existed and that I was the owner of it." Feng Yuxiang retrieved a piece of paper and showed it to the examiner, who started trembling after seeing it.

The examiner then retrieved his own certification and license to compare.

"I-It's real… She's the real deal!" The examiner exclaimed in a shocked voice.

"A-Are you serious?" Elder Bei swallowed nervously.

Why would a legendary figure from 15,000 years ago show up now? Hell, where did she even pop out from?

"I apologize for doubting you, Senior. And it's an honor to meet you." The examiner bowed to her after returning her certification.

Feng Yuxiang silently nodded her head.

"Anyways, if Senior claims the treasures are worth 500,000 spirit stones, then I will not argue." The examiner said to Elder Bei.

"Is that so?" Elder Bei nodded.

He turned to look at Yuan and spoke, "I can give you 225,000 spirit stones and the Stainless Cauldron for these three treasures, or we can give you medicine instead."

"The seventh, eighth, and ninth floor contains medicines from Tier 5 herbs to Tier 5 pills. What do you say?"

Yuan pondered to himself, 'Medicine, huh? This is a good chance for me to stock up some medicine for my body tempering. Even though Feng Feng promised to support me, I cannot rely on her for everything.'

"Let me see what kind of medicine is available first." Yuan said a moment later.

"Very well. I will prepare the spirit stones just in case you decide to take the money instead. As for the Stainless Cauldron, you can take it now." Elder Bei said.
