Chapter 99: Top-Tier Dragon-Type Martial Techniques
In that instant, Jiang Mei was filled with a sense of dread, as if she was being stared at by a powerful creature. An indescribable majesty seemed to emanate from those eyes, causing her whole body to tremble. Under that gaze, her face turned pale and her legs shook.
It must be known that she was also at the Marrow Tempering Stage!
The strength of the person before her was truly terrifying.
Jiang Mei had actually only been transferred to Dragon Flood City in the past few days. Not only had a mysterious and unfathomable Shen Xing appeared, but many young prodigies from the six major sects had also arrived. She, too, was considered a prodigy within the Spring Rain Trading Company.
At just twenty-two years old, she had reached the Marrow Tempering Stage.
With this kind of strength, she would be considered an Innate seed in any faction, and might even reach the Innate realm before the age of forty.
But compared to this outer region prodigy, who was rumored to have only broken through to the Marrow Tempering Stage a few days ago, there was a suffocating gap!
Was this aura that of a dragon?
“Our Spring Rain Trading Company will do its best to meet the needs of our Supreme Member, please rest assured, Young Master Shen.” Jiang Mei did her best to steady her breathing. She was beginning to understand why this person would request to collect so many things related to dragons.
This person definitely possessed a terrifying inheritance!
Was this what an outer region prodigy was like?
“Mm.” Only then did Shen Xing withdraw his gaze, and said indifferently, “As for money, there’s no need to save it for me. I only care about the results.”
“Understood.” Jiang Mei forced a smile, “With Young Master Shen’s words, some things will be easier to collect.”
“First, bring out everything you can give me now.” Shen Xing continued to walk upstairs, “Last time I didn’t get to tour the sixth floor. Is there anything interesting at the recent auctions?”
That’s right, this was also one of Shen Xing’s purposes for coming here.
As a trading company that was considered top-tier in the entire Wu Region, the Spring Rain Trading Company had naturally collected many good things.
Perhaps what he needed was in this building.
Even if not, treasures like spiritual weapons, rare materials, and second-grade pills would still be a great profit.
Gold and silver were worthless to him. Naturally, he wouldn’t easily let go of good things that could be bought with gold and silver.
“Currently, the trading company has a batch of first-grade high-quality Soul Nourishing Pills, which are excellent pills for restoring the Divine Soul. However, these pills are more difficult to refine than Marrow Transformation Pills, and the demand is also very limited, so there are not many, and the price is about twice as expensive as Marrow Transformation Pills.” Jiang Mei was already rapidly searching her mind.
Not to mention that Shen Xing was already a Supreme Member, his powerful strength and potential alone were enough to make her pay close attention.
After all, trading companies were different from other factions.
Harmony brings wealth, that was their way of survival.
Making connections with strong individuals had always been the style that the Spring Rain Trading Company strived to maintain. Even she, a “prodigy,” had been sent here to make connections with the prodigies from various places who had recently gathered in Dragon Flood City.
The person before her was even more important.
“Money is not a problem. I won’t say it a third time. Bring out as much as you have.” Shen Xing was quite satisfied when he heard “first-grade high-quality.”
That was already at the level of Marrow Transformation Pills.
This world also had its own quality grading system for things like Martial Path Intents, Divine Intent Inheritances, and alchemy, also dividing them into four levels.
Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, and Top-Grade.
But compared to the Human Federation, there were actually some differences in the details. For example, the Nine Shadows Body Movement Technique, which was classified as Top-Grade in the Human Federation, was only considered a High-Grade body movement technique here.
This also made Shen Xing have some expectations for the higher-level martial arts resources in this world.
At this time, Jiang Mei immediately gave the order. She didn’t mention anything about quotas anymore, prioritizing the needs of the Supreme Member was originally the rule of the Spring Rain Trading Company.
“As for Dragon Flood Bones, the trading company does have one at the moment, but it is a product for the auction at the end of this month. If you want to lock it in advance, you need to pay one and a half times the price of the last Dragon Flood Bone auction. What do you think?”
“Bring it.” Shen Xing didn’t even think about it.
Wait for the auction? If he could get it in advance, he would get it in advance. His time was very precious.
“As for the refiner inscriptions, the related inheritances within the Spring Rain Trading Company are all concentrated in the hands of the president. If you want to try to learn them, you can rent them by the day, but the president will not sell them.” Jiang Mei said somewhat cautiously.
“Renting is fine.” Shen Xing said.
Jiang Mei’s breathing hitched slightly.
She had been wondering before, since this person could bring out such powerful puppets, and was also collecting refiner inscription inheritances, was he perhaps from a refiner faction, or perhaps, was he a refiner himself?
And Shen Xing’s answer almost confirmed this guess!
After all, besides their own value, inscription inheritances were only useful to refiners!
While being so powerful, he actually also had the identity of a refiner?
At this moment, Jiang Mei had even begun to mourn for the prodigies of the Wu Region.
This Young Master Shen from the outer region was simply a person of another level. In front of him, those so-called “prodigies” of the Wu Region were like an insult to the word “prodigy”!
She suddenly remembered something and said softly again: “As for Divine Intent Inheritances, if Young Master Shen doesn’t limit the quality, the Spring Rain Trading Company does have a few related to dragon-type bloodline demon beasts. However, the best one among them is only barely High-Grade. But if you want to get some better ones, you can try the Emperor Sect. The Emperor Sect claims to be descended from the Wu Kingdom’s royal family, and they have several top-tier Divine Intent Inheritances related to dragons. Among them, there is a Mysterious Dragon Finger, which is extremely famous.”
“Mysterious Dragon Finger?” Shen Xing immediately became interested.
“It is said that a certain emperor of the Wu Kingdom in the past comprehended it from a demon beast called the Sleeve Dragon Snake. The finger force is swift and powerful, and when trained to a high level, even spiritual armor cannot stop it.” Jiang Mei saw Shen Xing’s interest and smiled, “Currently, several prodigies of the Emperor Sect are wandering on the fifth floor. If Young Master Shen is interested, you can go and ask them.”
“Is that so coincidental?” Shen Xing looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “That Pang Qingshan from that day, wouldn’t he also have been brought here by you like this?”
“Young Master Shen, please forgive me.” Jiang Mei’s face, which had just regained some color, turned pale again. She quickly lowered her head, “That day, Deputy Manager Miao Li was indeed blind. Now that Young Master Shen is a Supreme Member, this kind of thing will never happen again!”
◈◈◈
“Whoever has a higher status, prioritize their needs? That’s not bad.” Shen Xing withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “However, your judgment needs to be higher.”
“Young Master Shen is right.” Jiang Mei looked extremely docile.
Even though she was already used to it, facing Shen Xing’s gaze head-on still gave her a heart-palpitating feeling.
It was like the first time she saw the Dragon Flood Bone, or even stronger.
After all, the Dragon Flood Bone was already a dead object, but the person before her was alive!
“Lead the way.” Shen Xing raised his chin slightly, “The Emperor Sect? What a grand name.”
He had actually seen information about this sect in the Gong family’s intelligence reports.
Although they didn’t have an official title on the surface, the Emperor Sect was already implicitly the leader of the six sects.
Their strength was so powerful that among all the sect-level forces in the Wu Region, they could indeed be considered number one.
But their behavior was quite arrogant and domineering, always claiming to be the number one force.
This was even more so after they formed the Six Sect Alliance with the other five sects.
To be honest, Shen Xing didn’t want to have a conflict of interest with this kind of sect. Because he could imagine that if he wanted to get their most treasured techniques, it would likely not work through peaceful means.
However, if this sect really had what he needed…
Not to mention just the Emperor Sect, even the Six Sect Alliance, or even the entire Wu Region, what was there to fear?
Unknowingly, he had completely adapted to the style of this world, and was even thriving in it.
“First, test their level simply.”
Shen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, his mentality had already changed, and he was faintly eager to try.
And Jiang Mei behind him was also somewhat expectant.
Few people knew that although the Spring Rain Trading Company emphasized “harmony brings wealth,” when faced with conflicts of interest between customers, they were also very good at standing on a third-party position, letting the “customers” fight for benefits themselves. Whoever could win would receive higher treatment from the trading company.
They used this method to continuously get closer to stronger individuals.
Of course, there were also those who had poor judgment and made mistakes.
For example, the previous Miao Li. When he learned that Pang Qingshan was trying to find trouble with Shen Xing, he chose to provide convenience to Pang Qingshan. As a result of choosing wrongly, Miao Li had now been relegated to some small city.
At this moment, Jiang Mei had clearly chosen Shen Xing’s side.
Moreover, she had full confidence in her choice!
The entire Spring Rain Building was very tall and wide, but in the end, it was just a building. Just as they arrived on the fifth floor, Shen Xing noticed a group of young people who looked spirited and vigorous. None of them looked older than thirty, but a good half of them were emitting the powerful aura that only those at the Marrow Tempering Stage possessed.
Without a doubt, they were the people of the six sects.
Shen Xing walked straight towards them.
Such an obvious action naturally attracted the attention of these young powerhouses, and their expressions changed slightly when they looked at Shen Xing.
“Is that him.”
“That’s right, it’s him!”
“So young!”
“He should just look young. How could there be a Marrow Tempering Stage martial artist who is sixteen or seventeen years old?”
“He’s walking towards us!”
“Everyone, don’t be careless. This person is arrogant. He actually dared to refuse to meet us some time ago.”
“With Senior Brother Liu here, there’s no need to worry. I’m just afraid he’ll use that powerful puppet.”
“Hmph, if he dares to use a puppet to deal with us, the sect’s Innate experts will definitely come out in full force!”
“…”
A series of hushed discussions continued to be heard.
At this distance, Shen Xing could hear them clearly.
It seemed that this group of people had a lot of resentment towards him.
That was right, they were all young powerhouses, how could they not have arrogance? Shen Xing’s current momentum in Dragon Flood City far surpassed theirs, and he was still relying on external objects like puppets. It was very normal for them to be unconvinced.
