Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Business

“Young Master Yi, Mystic Beast Store has now learnt their lesson. What is our next step?” consulted Yue Wenyang.

Fiddling with the two eye stones as always, Yi Feiying cracked a grin. “Our real goal is the level seven fiend soul and their level six fiend beasts. In a few more days, their level six fiend beasts will rot. That is our cue to pay them a visit and purchase their goods. I believe they won’t have any other alternative but to sell them to us.”

“Brilliant, Young Master Yi!”

“Hahaha, this is what happens when you challenge us.”

Knock, knock!

“Mr. Yue, Young Master Yi, Alchemist Zheng from Hundred Herbs Hall requests an audience,” reported a clerk.

“The rank five alchemist? Don’t make him wait!” scolded Yue Wenyang, hurrying to his feet.

“Understood.”

Zheng Xiuming opened the door and greeted the two with a hold-fist salute. “Mr. Yue, Young Master Yi, how do you do?”

“Please forgive us for the late welcome, Alchemist Zheng,” brightly expressed Yi Feiying.

“Please have a seat, Alchemist Zheng. What brings you here today?” inquired Yue Wenwang, smiling politely.

“Mm… That would be to talk business, of course.”

“Whatever it is you need, you need only send a messenger, and we will see that it is promptly delivered. You need not come all the here yourself,” conveyed Yue Wenwang, offering Zheng Xiuming a cup of tea.

Zheng Xiuming had a nip of tea. “This is more important than previous deal. Therefore, I have to personally handle it. I assume you know of my martial uncle, Alchemist Yao?”

“That is a matter of course, Alchemist Zheng; he is but a revered alchemist. Would he happen to be coming here?”

Yi Feiying and Yue Wenyang set their teacups down to earnestly listen. The two businesses were closely connected owing to their professions, and both could not be without the other – locally speaking. Howbeit, alchemists were always given more weight.

“Not this time, no. As you already know, he concocted a level six pill while he was a Body Severing Realm cultivator and has now ascended to Spirit Severing Realm Ninth Layer. In his pursuit of Body Synthesis Realm, he wishes to concoct a rank seven pill to aid his endeavour.”

“A rank seven pill?!” exclaimed Yue Wenyang.

Yi Feiying queried, “Can I safely assume you are here to collect materials on his behalf?”

“Yes. Some ingredients are a challenge to find. I was wondering if you could lend a hand.”

“Whatever it is Elder Yao needs, just say the word. We will do everything in our power to ensure we have them ready,” Yi Feiying swore without a thought.

Slowly rotating his teacup, Zheng Xiuming stated, “I’d like to ask if I could buy some of the materials he needs from here.”

“It is our honour to be of service to Elder Yao in his endeavour. Let us know what you need, and we will supply you free of charge,” Yi Feiying offered, deeming the friendship to be worth more than money if Alchemist Yao was successful.

“Great. May I ask if you’ve bought any level seven fiend spirits or fiend beasts recently? Uncle Yao says they are compulsory for a level seven pill.” Due to the silence and duo exchanging eye contact, Zheng Xiuming asked, “You don’t have them?”

Yi Feiying wore confidence back on. “We can buy anything. May I ask which types you need so that we can prepare them?”

“There are no specifics. We only ask for level seven fiend souls for their spiritual qi. We need the blood and qi of a level seven fiend beast.”

“Sure. As you know, it is a daunting task to find level seven fiend beasts. Therefore, I am afraid that we need some time. I promise. Based on our efficiency, we will have both delivered to Hundred Herbs Hall in three days’ time,” guaranteed Yi Feiying.

“I am glad to hear that. I would be worried sick if it were not for you. I shall not keep you any longer,” said Zheng Xiuming, saluting the duo.

“Thank you for visiting.”

“Young Master Yi, it has been a very long time since we have purchased a level seven fiend beast, and I would assume the same can be said for other cities. The kid staying at Mystic Beast Store has one. Alchemist Zheng will search around if we cannot get our hands on one for him. Moreover, we cannot stop other fiend beast hunters who know about it from spreading the word. What is the plan?”

“This isn’t what I had in mind, but we don’t have a choice now. Tonight, we’ll assassinate everyone at Mystic Beast Hall and take their level seven fiend soul. Send someone to stake out their place. Report back to me if you see any activity.”

“Right away.”

***

Zheng Xiuming surveyed his surroundings and then slipped into an alley when no eyes were on him.

“Done?” Mu Yu asked.

“Yes,” replied Zheng Xiuming. “Sir, you could have had us shop from Mystic Beast Store directly. Why are you taking this roundabout route?”

“Because I want to cut off their retreat and then lay waste to them. Head on back and follow the plan.”

“Understood.”

As Zheng Xiuming departed, so did the bloodlust gushing out of Mu Yu.
