Invincible Over the World
Chapter 393 - 393 393 The Year Can't Be Wrong

393: Chapter 393 The Year Can’t Be Wrong 393: Chapter 393 The Year Can’t Be Wrong “Oh, do you have Alchemy Secret Manuals here?” Huang Xiaolong asked with interest.

While Alchemy Secret Manuals were rare, some large alchemy material shops still sold them.

Of course, the manuals they sold were all Paper Level.

Such low-level secret books were of little use.

They were only purchased by Postnatal Strong People for alchemy practice.

When Supervisor Lin saw Huang Xiaolong inquire about the Alchemy Secret Manuals, he smiled and said, “Certainly, our shop has not only low-level Alchemy Secret Manuals but also Intermediate ones.”

Huang Xiaolong felt somewhat disappointed.

Low-level and Intermediate Alchemy Secret Manuals were useless to him.

If there had been some High-level ones, he might have considered buying them, so he did not continue to inquire about this topic.

Then, Huang Xiaolong took out a piece of paper from the Asura Ring and handed it to Supervisor Lin, saying, “This is the list of materials I want to buy.”

Supervisor Lin took it, glanced at it, and saw that the white paper was covered with rows of characters, line after line, hundreds of lines, totaling hundreds of types of alchemy materials.

Huang Xiaolong intended to buy a hundred portions of each alchemy material.

Upon seeing the list, Supervisor Lin was shocked.

Many of the alchemy materials that Huang Xiaolong listed were quite rare.

Even if these materials were only a hundred years old, they would likely be worth ten million Gold Coins!

Ten million!

This was still a conservative estimate by Supervisor Lin.

He had dealt with transactions over ten million before, but those were only two or three times at most.

After his initial surprise, Supervisor Lin was overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected the young man with black hair to be such a big spender.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong spoke up, “The materials I want to buy – your Mysterious Item Shop has them, right?”

Regaining his senses, Supervisor Lin replied with a bright smile, raising his head to speak to Huang Xiaolong, “Brother, rest assured.

We definitely have the materials you’re looking for in our Mysterious Item Shop.

May I know what grade of materials you would like to purchase?”

“Pick out the best quality ones from your shop for me,” Huang Xiaolong said.

Supervisor Lin replied with a smile, “Certainly.” He then paused before adding, “Just that, our shop usually requires a deposit before conducting a transaction.

That’s our store’s policy.

Brother, what do you think?”

Huang Xiaolong asked without changing his expression, “How much?”

Supervisor Lin said cheerfully, “Not much, just a hundred thousand.”

Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu looked at each other and inwardly sneered.

They had never heard of the practice of paying a deposit before buying alchemy materials at a shop, especially not a hundred thousand Gold Coins!

Clearly, this Mysterious Item Shop had quite the appetite!

Nevertheless, Huang Xiaolong did not question it and said indifferently, “Fine.” After speaking, he waved his hands and a hundred thousand Gold Coins floated down from mid-air, piling up in the hall.

Supervisor Lin’s eyes lit up.

He waved his hands and collected the hundred thousand Gold Coins into his Space Ring.

Then, smiling at Huang Xiaolong, he said, “Please wait a moment, brother.

I will have someone prepare the alchemy materials you requested.” After saying that, he gestured for the Iron Dog to take care of Huang Xiaolong and turned to enter the back hall.

Under the enthusiastic reception of the Iron Dog, Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu took their seats while Xiao Tian, the little fellow, couldn’t sit still.

He walked around the hall, touching and looking at everything.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old boy, the Iron Dog became curious and asked, “Young master, is this child your brother?”

“Something like that,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Iron Dog couldn’t help but scrutinize Xiao Tian, no matter how he looked, the child bore no resemblance to Huang Xiaolong.

Moreover, the child was dressed in a rather odd way, barefoot like a wild child, yet Huang Xiaolong did not appear to be the type to lure and swindle kids.

Considering Huang Xiaolong casually rewarded someone with a Space Ring, his status was not low, so it was unlikely he was engaged in child trafficking.

Furthermore, he could tell that the child genuinely liked Huang Xiaolong and was following him voluntarily.

Iron Dog pondered all kinds of possibilities.

Of course, no matter how much he guessed, he could never imagine that this seven- or eight-year-old child in front of him was actually a Transformed Holy Domain Demon Beast.

Iron Dog engaged in idle chat with Huang Xiaolong and the others, speaking now and then.

Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu sat there, leisurely sipping tea.

The materials Huang Xiaolong wished to purchase were extensive, so preparation by the Mysterious Item Shop would take some time, but Huang Xiaolong was not in a hurry.

An hour passed.

Supervisor Lin emerged from the back hall, followed by more than a dozen people, all of them carrying an armful of Alchemy Materials.

Upon reaching the hall, the group set down their Alchemy Materials in one corner, then turned and re-entered the back hall to continue moving materials out.

After repeating this dozens of times, the corner of the hall was stacked with hundreds of kinds of Alchemy Materials.

At this point, Supervisor Lin smiled at Huang Xiaolong and said, “Brother, all the Alchemy Materials you asked for are here,” pointing at the corner of the hall filled with Alchemy Materials.

Huang Xiaolong and the others walked over.

With a single sweep of his eyes, Huang Xiaolong sneered inwardly.

Although it was just a glance, he could tell that among the hundreds of Alchemy Materials, the ages were inconsistent; some were two to three hundred years old, while others were merely forty or fifty years old.

Furthermore, he had requested a hundred portions of each material.

Yet, there was definitely not a hundred portions of any material, at most, only eighty or ninety portions.

Huang Xiaolong intentionally asked, “Supervisor Lin, are these the best quality Alchemy Materials your shop has?”

Supervisor Lin replied with a smile, “That’s right, these are our shop’s best quality Alchemy Materials.” He then walked to a type of Alchemy Material called Wind Bull Flower, picked up one, and said, “Brother, look at this Wind Bull Flower; it’s over three hundred years old.

I don’t mean to boast, but a three-hundred-year-old Wind Bull Flower can only be found in our Mysterious Item Shop in the whole South State City.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong secretly sneered.

Supervisor Lin was clearly telling blatant lies; that Wind Bull Flower was at most a little over one hundred years old.

How could Huang Xiaolong not see that?

Huang Xiaolong took the Wind Bull Flower from the other’s hand, pretended to examine it for a while, and said, “Supervisor Lin, are you sure this Wind Bull Flower is over three hundred years old?

I think it’s at most one hundred and fifty years.”

Upon hearing this, and seeing that Huang Xiaolong had accurately judged the Wind Bull Flower to be at most one hundred and fifty years old, Supervisor Lin knew Huang Xiaolong was an expert.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face.

In fact, Huang Xiaolong was correct, that Wind Bull Flower was indeed around one hundred and forty years old and not the three hundred years Supervisor Lin had claimed.

However, knowing that was one thing, admitting it was another.

Supervisor Lin replied with a smile, “Brother, you must be mistaken.

All these materials in our Mysterious Item Shop have been appraised by the best appraisers in South State City, and their age is absolutely correct.

Don’t believe me?

Look,” he pointed at a small sticker under the Wind Bull Flower.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the sticker, which indicated that the Wind Bull Flower was over three hundred years old.

Besides the age, there was also a line of text below: Gufeng Appraisal.
