Chapter 326 Heavenly Immortal Leaf
Immortal Hunters are a group of people from the outside world who suddenly came to the Profound Star World two years ago. They are not really that strong, and there aren't many Immortals in their group, but they still threaten the Immortals of Profound Star World.
From time to time, they target a certain force and attack them. Their main targets are Immortals. Because of the short period of time since the world's recovery, only Low Stage Worldly Immortal Realm martial warriors could be found in this world. And they were unable to face those Immortal Hunters.
Immortal Hunters first kill the Immortals and then somehow devour their Immortal Energy to strengthen their own cultivation base. They were more like demonic cultivators.
The Myriad Sword Sect was still fine, but the Scarlet Thunder Sect was not as powerful as the Golden Spirit Island. Since the Golden Spirit Sect has been destroyed, then Scarlet Thunder Sect is definitely not Immortal Hunter's match.
Therefore, everyone in the sect was in danger. The Scarlet Thunder Sect's Master had no choice but to marry his youngest daughter and planned to form an alliance with the Myriad Sword Sect.
"Miss, why don't we leave the Ancient Dust Country? It's too dangerous here." The maid said with tears in her eyes.
Li Huixin smiled faintly, "What a silly girl. Someone has to make sacrifices. Compared to the foundation of the Scarlet Thunder Sect, what am I?"
Although she was so relieved, a hint of sadness and despair flashed across her eyes. Although Li Huixin was intelligent and talented, she was only at the Dao Manifestation Realm now. Even if she is placed in the younger generation, she wasn't the most outstanding, let alone influence the decisions of the entire sect.
.....
Scarlet Thunder Sect, down the mountain.
Qin Feng didn't know what Li Huixin was thinking and he wouldn't pay attention to these matters right now. The Heavenly Immortal Leaf he needed to concoct the pill wasn't anything special. It should be very easy to find it.
Hence, after asking along the way, Qin Feng came to a market. This was a huge market. Most of the items sold here were Pills, Cultivation Methods, Weapons, Medicinal Ingredients, and so on.
Qin Feng quickly found a shop in the market.
"Sorry to trouble you, Shopkeeper, but I need a few high-quality Heavenly Immortal Leaves." Qin Feng said.
The shopkeeper looked at Qin Feng. When he saw that Qin Feng was a bit young, he immediately lowered his eyelids and said, "I sold them all."
Sold all of them?
Qin Feng was a bit surprised. The Heavenly Immortal Leaf was not a rare item, so how could it be sold out all of a sudden?
At this moment, a person dressed like an apprentice suddenly barged in and rudely said: "Shopkeeper, give me all Heavenly Immortal Leaves you have, hurry up!"
However, the shopkeeper suddenly stood up and said with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to come so early, I have already prepared all the Heavenly Immortal Leaves for Master Gu!"
After saying that, the shopkeeper took out a large bag filled with Heavenly Immortal Leaves from the counter and respectfully handed it to the apprentice.
The apprentice took the Heavenly Immortal Leaves with an arrogant expression and said, "I'll owe you the money first. I'll pay you back next time."
The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and said, "It's my honor to be able to provide Master Gu with medicinal ingredients. It's vulgar to talk about money."
Qin Feng frowned and said, "Didn't you tell me that the Heavenly Immortal Leaves are gone?"
The shopkeeper gave Qin Feng a cold glance and said, "Don't you know that Great Master Gu is going to concoct an Immortal-leveled Pill?"
Qin Feng shook his head. He had just emerged from the secret space of World's Source. How could he hear of Master Gu before?
"You don't even know about my Master? So, you are just a village boy from the wilderness!" When the apprentice heard this, he laughed and started mocking Qin Feng.
Qin Feng glanced at the leaves in the apprentice's arms but found that they weren't of good quality. The pill he wanted to refine had very stringent requirements for the quality of the medicinal ingredients. These Heavenly Immortal Leaves could only be considered defective and could not enter Qin Feng's eyes.
"Fine, I don't want it anymore."
Qin Feng had no intention of entangling himself with this matter, so he immediately said. He didn't expect that Qin Feng's concession would make the apprentice even more arrogant.
"Hahaha, you have a good eye for things. Remember, you can't afford to offend Master Gu." The apprentice left complacently after saying this.
Qin Feng rubbed his chin and said, "This Master Gu seemed to be very famous?"
"You don't even know about Master Gu? Could it be that you're not from Ancient Dust Country?" The shopkeeper was surprised and asked.
Qin Feng nodded his head and replied. "I am a rogue cultivator who came here from Five Regions."
Qin Feng said this to see if he could find out if they know about the Five Regions or not.
"Five Regions?" The shopkeeper frowned and then shook his head. He doesn't seem to have ever heard of Five Regions. Shaking his head, he ignored the matter about Five Regions and said: "No wonder you don't know about Master Gu. Master Gu is an alchemist specially invited by the Scarlet Thunder Sect this time. He came here specifically for the leader of Scarlet Thunder Sect, and is preparing to concoct a Low-Grade Immortal Rank Pill for Scarlet Thunder Sect's leader's eldest son to break through to the Worldly Immortal Realm."
The shopkeeper persuaded, "Master Gu is one of the ten alchemists who could refine Low-Grade Immortal Rank pills in the entire Ancient Dust Country. Recently, Master Gu has been lacking Heavenly Immortal Leaves when concocting pills. The stock of Heavenly Immortal Leaves in this market has basically all been bought by him. If you want it, you can wait here for a dozen more days."
A dozen or so days?
Qin Feng couldn't wait that long.
"Is there no Heavenly Immortal Leaves in this huge market?" Qin Feng frowned and asked. If it was a precious herb, it was understandable to search for it like this. However, this Heavenly Immortal Leaf was not a precious herb. It should be found everywhere now that the Profound Star World has recovered to evolve.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "In the easternmost part of the market, there is an auction house. There should be Heavenly Immortal Leaves of higher quality there."
These words were exactly what Qin Feng wanted to hear. The quality of the Heavenly Immortal Leaves Qin Feng had seen just now was too poor. There was still a huge gap between them and the herbs he wanted.
Thus, he hurriedly arrived at the auction house.
In front of the auction hall, there was a welcoming ceremony. There were many cultivators here with many followers, and as soon as they entered, they were warmly welcomed.
"Dear guest, please."
A burst of fragrant wind blew past and a beautiful woman spoke to Qin Feng with an orchid-like tone.
Qin Feng's expression didn't change, and he followed the woman into the auction hall.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Dear guest, you look like a new face. Could it be that you've come to the market for the first time?"
Qin Feng nodded, seeing this, the smile on the bewitching woman's face became even wider. If she could get Qin Feng to buy something, she would get a commission as well. She casually began to display the items on the first floor. "Dear guest, the items here are all the treasures that we have recently brought in. There are even items of the High-Grade Heaven Rank treasure that will be auctioned in our auction hall."
Qin Feng glanced at the items on the first floor. Although there were a lot of treasures here, they were not worth mentioning compared to what he had.
Besides, many treasures looked good on the surface, but in fact, they were all ordinary.
Qin Feng shook his head. "Let's forget about these things."
The bewitching woman pursed her lips and smiled. "So it turns out that the things here are no longer worthy of your attention. Dear guest, please follow me upstairs."
The woman's tone of voice had already become even more seductive. Obviously, she already thought that Qin Feng was a generous and powerful cultivator.
Qin Feng glanced around and frowned, "Do you have any Heavenly Immortal Leaves here?"
What? Heavenly Immortal Leaves?
The bewitching woman was slightly stunned when she heard this. She only reacted after a long time, and a surprised expression flashed through her eyes.
Seeing her reacting that way, Qin Feng frowned. He guessed that the auction house might not have Heavenly Immortal Leaves as well, and so he muttered, "Could it be that coming here is a mistake?"
