Sea Flower.
Carson Flores and his two companions looked around, their eyes filled with wonder.
The items here were diverse and strange, many of which were deep-sea treasures Carson had never seen before, leaving him amazed.
Suddenly, Carson’s gaze stopped.
Within a standalone counter was a blue crystal, gleaming like a gemstone.
The crystal was the size of an ostrich egg, emitting a ghostly blue light.
"Blue Charm Demon Crystal!"
The shopkeeper beside him chuckled, "Customer, you have a keen eye to recognize the Blue Charm Demon Crystal at a glance. It is indeed the treasure of our Sea Flower shop!"
Alfred Weaver observed Carson’s delighted expression and curiously asked, "What is this? Is it very precious?"
Carson explained, "This is something that grows in the tumor on the head of a deep-sea demonic beast known as the Blue Charm Devil Shark. These sharks usually dwell thousands of meters below the sea and possess immense power, rarely approaching shallow waters. Combined with their scarcity, hunting them is exceptionally difficult, making the Blue Charm Demon Crystal incredibly rare."
The shopkeeper laughed, "It seems this customer is an expert."
Carson smiled, "I am an Alchemist. I’ve seen illustrations of Blue Charm Demon Crystals in books, but this is my first time seeing the real thing. How much are you selling it for?"
The shopkeeper smiled slightly and raised one finger.
Carson raised an eyebrow, "One million Immortal Spirit Stones?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "As you’ve mentioned, the Blue Charm Demon Crystal is extremely rare, hard to find, and understandably not cheap. What I mean is not one million, but ten million Immortal Spirit Stones..."
Carson immediately frowned.
He didn’t have enough Immortal Spirit Stones!
He had a million Immortal Spirit Stones when he set out, but he had spent four hundred thousand on various herbs and just used fifty thousand to buy Restoration Clay, leaving him with just over five hundred thousand.
"Can it be a bit cheaper?"
The shopkeeper shook his head with a smile, "This price is already very fair; it can’t be cheaper."
Carson hesitated slightly, "Can I pay a deposit to reserve this Blue Charm Demon Crystal and come back with the rest of the Immortal Spirit Stones?"
The shopkeeper asked, "How much deposit can you give?"
Carson answered, "I currently have five million Immortal Spirit Stones and can give you all of it, as long as you keep the Blue Charm Demon Crystal for me..."
The shopkeeper nodded, "Half the amount as a deposit is fine. I’ll keep it for you for a year, but if you don’t bring the remaining five million within that timeframe, I won’t hold it, and your deposit won’t be refunded."
Carson cheerfully replied, "Deal!"
Carson handed over the five million Immortal Spirit Stones to the shopkeeper, securing the Blue Charm Demon Crystal.
Alfred Weaver whispered, "It’s so expensive. Why are you buying it?"
Carson replied, "A friend needs it."
"We didn’t bring much Immortal Spirit Stones this time..."
Alfred Weaver pondered, "Maybe I should borrow from Uncle Stone later?"
The shopkeeper listened with a surprising look in his eyes.
Uncle Stone?
Could it be referring to Palace Master Ellen Stone of the Crystal Palace?
Is this true or just bluffing?
This girl must have some background; not just anyone can call Ellen Stone ’Uncle Stone.’
The shopkeeper remained silent, after all, he was only there to do business. No matter who it is, they have to pay for what they buy!
Carson smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out myself."
Alfred Weaver frowned, "Five million is no small amount. The distance from here to White Crane Immortal Sect is quite far. Are you planning to go back to White Crane Immortal Sect to retrieve it?"
Carson shook his head, "No way, such a long distance would just waste time."
Alfred Weaver curiously asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
"Earn Spirit Stones, of course."
Carson laughed, "Did you forget that I’m an Alchemist? Earning five million Spirit Stones shouldn’t be too tough, right?"
The shopkeeper raised an eyebrow.
Alchemist?
Do you think the Crystal Palace doesn’t have Alchemists?
To provide various elixirs needed for the cultivation of myriad demonic beasts, the Crystal Palace has many Alchemists; is there still a need for you?
The amount is five million, not five thousand. Do you think it’s that easy to earn?
Alchemy isn’t that simple. Although premium elixirs are valuable, they are not easy to concoct; a moment of carelessness, and a furnace explosion can set you back ten years. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Young people indeed love bragging!
Alfred Weaver recalled and laughed heartily, "Oh right, I forgot about that. With the furnace blazing, Spirit Stones come naturally. You are indeed a top-tier Alchemist, the latest Pill King, with unique alchemy techniques..."
The shopkeeper’s eyes suddenly widened, looking at Carson with astonishment.
Pill King?
How is this possible?
This young man looks very young, probably not even a hundred years old, yet becoming Pill King, isn’t that daydreaming?
Keep bragging!
Just as the shopkeeper was internally doubtful, Carson turned to him, smiling, "Shopkeeper, may I see your price list for the elixirs you sell?"
The shopkeeper, silent, handed over the price list of elixirs in the shop to Carson, internally sneering, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Carson quickly glanced over it, smiling, "Seems like there aren’t many premium elixirs..."
