Chapter 1414: Chapter 1414: Trading

Outside Cloud Pavilion, the air was thick with killing intent.

Inside Cloud Pavilion, the killing intent was just as intense.

Julius Reed stood up to leave, but he was already surrounded by people.

Merrill Caldwell clung to his clothing, fearfully surveying the surroundings.

“I am the Sect Leader of Brogan Mount, and I dare to ask who you might be!” An elder wearing a blue short-sleeved robe asked with cupped hands, his tone somewhat agitated: “The pill just now…”

He was a Martial Artist, and moreover, a Great Grandmaster!

The cultivation of martial arts grows ever more difficult the higher one aspires.

And many Martial Artists resort to consuming Dan medicine rich in Spiritual Power to assist externally.

This method of tempering the body is especially suitable for martial arts practitioners.

For those on the Path of Weaponry or Scholar’s Way, the effects are minimal.

But mostly, eight or nine out of ten who break through in their realm are of martial arts.

They enhance their own agility and strength by bolstering their physique.

In simple terms, the lowest threshold to entry is martial arts; hence, the number of Martial Arts Grandmasters is the greatest.

This group’s yearning for Spiritual Energy is extremely strong.

Some Martial Artists haven’t encountered such a Spirit Energy-rich Dan medicine for many years.

“What does this have to do with you?” Facing the inquiry, Julius Reed spoke bluntly: “Step aside.”

But no one moved.

As the saying goes, fortune comes with risks.

The temptation of that pill for them was simply too great!

“Brother, I am willing to pay a high price for your pill!” Another person spoke earnestly: “Just name your price, and I can meet it. We’ll transact here and now! In Cloud Pavilion, which is Lord Ghost Seven’s territory, no one dares to cheat!”

“Exactly! We are all Martial Artists. You came to Cloud Pavilion surely to sell the medicine. Everyone here is sincerely looking to purchase, so just speak your price.”

“Name your price!”

The eyes of the Martial Artists were filled with desire.

Although the Cloud Pavilion is a high-end market in Ghost Market, the most Spirit Power-rich pill presently available is not even one-fifth as potent as the one from earlier.

“Sorry, I’m not short on money,” Julius Reed said.

He had no concept of money.

What can money buy?

Health?

No!

Julius Reed, immortal and undying, didn’t need health.

Can it buy happiness?

No!

What joys hasn’t he sought in tens of thousands of years of monotonous life?

Can money buy time?

No, again!

Time is what Julius Reed, who is immortal and undying, lacks the least.

So what’s the use of money?

“Not short on money?” Upon hearing this, a Martial Artist spoke displeased: “You really think too little of everyone present! We are all immensely wealthy. I truly don’t believe there’s anyone in this world who would find money excessive!”

“Since you don’t want money, what’s your purpose for coming to Cloud Pavilion? Just to show off?” the Head of Brogan Mount’s tone became slightly unpleasant: “I think you must need something. Just say it directly, to save everyone’s time!”

Coming to the Cloud Pavilion and revealing such a precious Spirit medicine, yet not selling it?

What are you doing here then?

Showboating?

“Are you talking about the one I just fed her?” Julius Reed finally realized that the Martial Artists before him mistook the pill for treating cold frost syndrome as a Spirit medicine.

But he could understand the misunderstanding.

After all, they were a group of people who had not seen much of the world.

If he were to show a life-extending elixir, perhaps the entire Swimming City’s Martial Artists would feel that sky-reaching power!

“Exactly!” A Martial Artist cast his gaze on Merrill Caldwell and frowned slightly: “Odd, the young lady has no cultivation, yet she was able to consume the Dan medicine without any adverse reaction?”

A Martial Artist’s body is like a container, ceaselessly channeling Spiritual Power.

But the capacity of the body is limited.

If there is an excess of Spiritual Power, it can easily lead to the body exploding and death!

Conversely, the more robust the physique is, the stronger the resistance to pressure becomes!

And for the same volume, one can contain even more Spiritual Power!

When Spiritual Energy is intensely compressed, the energy released upon explosion will be even more formidable!

This, is the path of martial arts.

The spiritual energy contained in that medicine pill just now, was simply unbearable for an ordinary person.

Yet the little girl indeed had no cultivation, and she was unharmed.

“How strange!”

The other martial artists, hearing him say this, also felt it peculiar.

“I do have medicine,” Julius Reed said patiently despite inwardly cursing these people for not being worldly, “but I don’t need money, nor do I need goods in exchange. What I need is information.”

“Information? Can that really be more solid than money or goods?” Someone questioned with doubts: “You’re not playing tricks on us, are you?”

“Not at all. As long as one of you can tell me how the Divine Dragon Tripod circulated from the Ghost Market four years ago, I will give the medicine pill to him,” Julius Reed said with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking indifferently.

Inside the Divine Dragon Tripod, there remain three more.

“This…”

The martial artists exchanged glances, but no one spoke up.

The Divine Dragon Tripod was no secret in Swimming City; any Grandmaster with a bit of status had heard news about it.

And the number of those who want the Divine Dragon Tripod is countless.

Julius Reed was not worried about arousing suspicion from others.

“Four years ago, the Divine Dragon Tripod indeed flowed out from the Ghost Market. However, even Lord Ghost Seven is unclear about this, and had it not been for the uproar in the past two years, people would not even know that such a treasure had appeared in Swimming City,” he stated.

The Sect Leader of Brogan Mount was the first to speak up: “I can guarantee no one knows about this. Young man, I am willing to exchange a Bright Mountain Martial Arts Classic for one pill, how’s that?”

His breakthrough was imminent!

If he could obtain this spiritual medicine, his success rate could likely increase by thirty percent.

Once he achieved the breakthrough, the Head of Brogan Mount could then challenge that most difficult step.

“Martial arts classics? Mr. Dog of Octavius, you’re truly willing to spend big!”

“It seems Brogan Mount is determined to win today!”

The martial artists, upon hearing this, all expressed their surprise.

This old guy, going for the kill with his opening move!

“Although Brogan Mount is not as famous as the prime mountain, one classic is enough for you to cultivate ten fewer years!” the Sect Leader of Brogan Mount, Octavius Nightingale, said with immense pride: “You’d better think carefullly, there’s only one chance!”

“Then sorry, but I don’t need this opportunity,” Julius Reed refused directly.

Classics?

Are they useful?

The ultimate truth is simplicity!

“You…” Octavius Nightingale, his face full of pride a second ago, couldn’t hang on after being rejected: “Don’t regret it!”

“I have a proposal, and I wonder if you would be interested,” spoke a purple-robed elder stepping out, while the rest of the Grandmasters made way.

“I represent the Cook Family of Swimming City, and I invite you to reside at our estate. You wanted to inquire about the Divine Dragon Tripod, right? Good! The Cook Family is one of the Four Great Powers, and any news will be immediately reported to you,” the elder continued.

He added: “During this period, if the Cook Family acquires the tripod, we promise Mr. Reed uses it for six months! The only condition being that Mr. Reed helps refine one pill per month, and that should be ample!”

After he finished making the offer, the other martial artists shook their heads and sighed.

The speaker was the younger brother of the Cook Family Head.

With the two kings and four powers, no one dared to oppose them.

And this offer was already far ahead of anyone else’s.

Unless a fool, no one would refuse.

“Not interested,” Julius Reed shook his head.

He could not stay long in Swimming City; after checking the news of Divine Dragon Tripod, he planned to meet Isabella Warm.

“What did you say!” The purple-robed elder’s face sank, and he said coldly: “Do you really think that just because you hold a treasure in your hands, you can ignore us?”

Dare to refuse the Cook Family?

That’s seeking death!

The rest of the martial artists were equally surprised, but soon assumed the air of spectators to a drama.

Refusing the Cook Family means there’s a good show coming.

“Precious? Do I have it?”

Julius Reed opened his thermos, removing the remaining three medicine pills.

In a flash!

Spiritual energy surged to the heavens!

The martial artists widened their eyes, revealing a longing expression.

“Sorry, but in my eyes, these are trash!” With that, Julius Reed let the three pills fall to the ground.

Which he then crushed underfoot.

In an instant.

The air became especially still.
