Chapter 482: Infiltrating Kong Qing Great World
Kong Qing Great World.
Between the main body of the world and the chaotic void, there are hundreds of massive floating landmasses, slowly orbiting the world. Almost every landmass is densely populated, with various cities and palaces inhabited by countless cultivators.
These floating landmasses exist intentionally, serving as the frontline defense of the entire Great World, as well as a transit base for entering and leaving the world, a logistical supply center for military expeditions, and a hub for commercial trade with other Great Worlds.
Indeed, Kong Qing Great World also has many commercial trading partners, mainly the ancient Great Worlds located deep in the chaotic void with unfathomable strength. There are also certain mobile merchant caravans, mysterious foreign cultivators, and even Innate Chaotic Divine Demons.
No matter how unscrupulous, immoral, and disastrous the business, as long as it is profitable, there is nothing Kong Qing Great World wouldn't dare to do.
For those relatively weaker commercial trading partners, they usually choose to directly devour them, taking both their wealth and lives. Only when facing an overwhelmingly powerful existence that they cannot afford to provoke, will they conduct business honestly.
Therefore, Kong Qing Great World does not have a good reputation in the deep chaotic void. Of course, it seems that almost all the Great Worlds with strong foundations are similar in this regard, after all, this is a time and space where the strong are respected and the law of the jungle dominates.
On a giant floating landmass called "Chang Yun," the scenery is beautiful, and there are numerous magnificent cities and palaces nestled among the mountains and rivers, with countless cultivators coming and going.
This place is a well-known trading hub for bulk goods in the entire world. Therefore, numerous chambers of commerce, marketplaces, auction houses, and underground slave markets have established their bases here. The daily flow of heavenly treasures, cultivation resources, and spirit medicines through this place is an incredible number.
As long as you have enough spirit crystals, any cultivator can buy everything they want here, or sell their own treasures, regardless of how shady their origins may be.
Even if there is no stock available, as long as the customer can afford the price, there will always be powerful beings willing to take the order and help you achieve your desires.
In the market under the jurisdiction of the Transcendent Level power, Treasure Gathering Garden, numerous shelves and counters are filled with various goods and resources, such as pill medicines, talismans, cultivation techniques, spirit herbs, Law Weapons, Law Treasures, high-grade ingredients, and even the corpses of Chaotic Ferocious Beasts from the deep void.
Many high-level cultivators with different styles of dress stop in front of these shelves and counters, observing and discussing, occasionally exchanging a few words with the beautiful female cultivators guarding them.
This is the area for trading bulk resources, and the displayed resources are samples. Any customer with a willingness to make bulk purchases will be invited to the VIP compartments on the second floor, where influential figures will come and discuss with you.
"...The things here feel like they are of better quality than those produced in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. There are also many special resources worth stocking up on," said a handsome young man with star-shaped eyebrows and a jade-like appearance, quietly speaking to the stunning beauty beside him.
Emperor Qing Huan, noble and dignified, smiled and responded calmly, "The size and foundation of Kong Qing Great World, as well as the time of evolution of cultivation civilization, are far superior to the Upper Realm and the Extreme Void Starry Sky. This is reflected in the quality of these resources and equipment, and the differences are naturally quite significant."
With her discerning eyes, she can easily distinguish the quality of things here. In terms of material, design concept, refining technique, and practical effectiveness, the Law Weapons and Law Treasures here are on average three to five percent better than those in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Although the difference doesn't seem particularly large, the key issue is that these are standardized equipment that can be mass-produced. Once a sufficient quantity is reached, the advantages they can bring on the battlefield will be significant.
Qin Muling nodded and frowned, pondering, "If that day really comes, our legion will definitely suffer losses. Even if we eventually win, the casualties will be considerable. How about... we purchase a batch now and bring them back to the Extreme Void Starry Sky?"
First, buy a batch of such resources back to the Extreme Void Starry Sky and equip a part of the legion. Then, organize forces to study and decipher them. As long as they can be replicated, the gap in this aspect can be gradually narrowed.
Of course, this will require enough time, and it is unlikely to catch up with the future war between the two realms, but doing nothing is not an option either.
Princess Long Yi, mysterious and charming, smiled and pursed her lips, "Junior Brother, your plan is fine. After all, we are not lacking in spirit crystal resources at the moment, so buying some for storage is not a problem."
"And not only Law Weapons and Law Treasures, but also any other resources that we can buy and use, we can freely purchase them here!"
Compared to having their own craftsmen work tirelessly, it is more feasible to directly buy what they need, provided that they can be bought.
Qin Muling nodded gently. At this critical moment, any means that could enhance the strength of the Extreme Void Starry Sky Immortal Dynasty could be used, including buying resources from the enemy.
"...... Fellow Daoist, if you are interested in these Law Weapon Law Treasures and need a large quantity, you might as well go to the VIP room on the second floor and have a detailed discussion with our steward elder," said the female cultivator on duty next to him, seeing that the handsome young man had been lingering in front of the shelves for a long time and revealing his cultivation level of the Great Principal Golden Immortal realm. It was obvious that he was a person of status, so she smiled and greeted him.
Before Qin Muling could speak, Yu Lingzhou next to him had already handed over a small and exquisite storage pouch with a sweet smile tinged with a hint of arrogance.
"My young master did come here this time to purchase some resources. Please find someone who can make decisions to discuss it!"
The storage pouch contained hundreds of High Grade spirit crystals, which was quite generous for a woman of only the True Immortal level.
The expression of the female cultivator immediately became extremely respectful, and she slightly bent her body to salute, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report to the steward elder!"
In just a moment, a group of young women in colorful dresses walked over, respectfully inviting Qin Muling and his group to the VIP room on the second floor.
Although it was called a VIP room, it was actually a Grotto-Heaven secret realm with a very sophisticated spatial formation, making the space inside extremely spacious and divided into numerous compartments.
Each compartment was a luxurious courtyard with groups of beautiful female cultivators ready to serve. Moreover, these courtyards were also divided into different levels. The female immortal who led the way directly brought Qin Muling and the more than twenty stunning women around him to the best courtyard.
In the eyes of the other party, Qin Muling's cultivation level alone was already quite extraordinary, and the female guards around him included several Quasi-Saint Emperors and the rest were all Great Principal Golden Immortals. It was obvious that he had the backing of a formidable force that was not easy to provoke.
In the antique room, Qin Muling took his seat in the main position, and the maidservants brought exquisite tea and snacks.
In a few breaths, a middle-aged man in a white robe with deep eyes walked in slowly, followed by several attendants who followed suit.
He was also a Great Principal Golden Immortal.
This was the unspoken rule of Ju Bao Zhai. According to the customer's cultivation level, corresponding strong cultivators would be arranged to negotiate with them.
They couldn't be higher than the customer, so as not to make the other party feel pressured and unwilling to come; nor could they be lower than the customer, so as not to create unwarranted fantasies and attempt to deceive the customer.
"This Fellow Daoist, I am Li Changfu, the first steward elder here," the middle-aged man arched his hand and put on a professional smile. "I heard that Fellow Daoist intends to purchase some goods. Can you list them so that I can decide on the price to offer you?"
Qin Muling did not speak, and Emperor Bing Huang next to him said calmly, "I wonder if your supply is sufficient? My young master has a large demand. If you can meet all of it, then we won't trouble the second master!"
Li Changfu's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "The reputation of our Ju Bao Zhai is among the best in the entire Great World. Fellow Daoist has come to the right place to purchase bulk goods. As long as the spirit crystal resources are sufficient, there is nothing you can't buy here!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and a female cultivator standing beside him immediately presented a bright yellow jade talisman the size of a book, shining with starlight.
Yu Lingzhou took it and examined it. After confirming that there was no problem, he presented it to Qin Muling. He infused a bit of mana into it, and the surface of the jade talisman immediately displayed a dense list of resources, with a total of over ten thousand kinds.
As long as his divine sense noticed the name of a certain resource, detailed introductions would automatically appear, including the origin, quality, market price, and the current stock quantity.
Qin Muling quickly skimmed through it and nodded inwardly. He had to admit that there were many good things here. Fortunately, he had brought plenty of resources with him on this journey, so he could have a few satisfying shopping sprees.
After eliminating some less important or redundant resources that the Extreme Void Starry Sky didn't lack, there were still tens of thousands of resources worth purchasing and stockpiling.
"So, leave five percent of the stock for emergencies, and I'll take the rest. How about that?" Qin Muling asked casually.
"......"
Li Changfu, who was sipping tea, trembled slightly, almost dropping the teacup in his hand. He suddenly looked up, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty as he looked at Qin Muling.
"Fellow Daoist, are you... are you serious?"
Li Changfu's voice trembled slightly. Despite having dealt with many big deals before, the scale of this young man's offer still made him unable to contain his excitement.
Qin Muling nodded affirmatively, repeating his request and adding:
"I am not lacking in Supreme Grade spiritual crystal resources. Feel free to deliver the goods as requested, and you will not lose a single penny!"
After speaking, Yu Lingzhou produced a large-capacity spatial bracelet and handed it to the maid standing beside him, who then passed it to Li Changfu.
The steward elder took it and examined it briefly, discovering that the space inside was extremely large, spanning thousands of miles in diameter, filled with neatly cut Supreme Grade spiritual crystals of various sizes.
Immediately, Li Changfu's expression became quite humble, and his smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will immediately arrange manpower to allocate resources for you, ensuring your satisfaction!"
Saying this, he beckoned a few trusted subordinates, whispered some instructions to them, and they nodded repeatedly before leaving in a hurry.
Not long after, led by a charming and enchanting beauty, hundreds of high-ranking female immortals dressed in splendid attire and with bright eyes and white teeth entered in an orderly manner. Each of them held a luxurious tray with gold and jade inlays, with a bright yellow cloud brocade silk lining, on which ten large-capacity spatial bracelets were placed.
"Fellow Daoist, the goods you requested are all here," Li Changfu stood up and said with a smile, "and there is no mistake in quantity or quality. You can inspect them at will."
Qin Muling nodded in agreement and gestured with his eyes. Yu Lingzhou and Ji Qingluan immediately stood up gracefully and each took several spatial bracelets, carefully examining them.
Inside the spatial bracelets were boxes of pills, talismans, ingredients, spirit wines, and various Law Weapons and Law Treasures. Resources of different grades were abundant, and the quantity of each kind was extremely astonishing, clearly aimed at establishing a strategic reserve for the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court.
With the cultivation of these women, it wouldn't take much time to examine all the types of resources.
When Yu Lingzhou gave a positive reply, Qin Muling smiled lightly, gently raised his hand, and a large expanse of clear radiance swept through, collecting all the spatial bracelets into his own spatial storage.
Li Changfu's eyes narrowed slightly. Spatial Law Weapons cannot be stacked and stored together unless they are Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures. The fact that this young man could collect so many high-level spatial Law Weapons at once indicated that he must possess an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure. His identity and background... might be even more exaggerated than he had initially imagined.
"Alright, this is the final payment. Fellow Daoist, please count the amount. The extra amount can be considered as your hard-earned fee!"
Yu Lingzhou took out two more spatial bracelets and handed them to Li Changfu. Inside were also massive amounts of Supreme Grade spiritual crystals.
Li Changfu glanced at them briefly and said with a smile, "It's enough, more than enough! Fellow Daoist is indeed generous. I will not be impolite!"
Saying this, he took out a golden and radiant seal and handed it to Yu Lingzhou with both hands.
"This is the Supreme VIP identity certificate of our Treasure Gathering Pavilion. From now on, whenever Fellow Daoist visits any branch of our pavilion, you will receive the best treatment and the greatest discounts!"
"That's good to hear. I will definitely visit in the future."
Qin Muling nodded lightly, and Yu Lingzhou took the seal, holding it in his hand and examining it carefully without showing any signs of suspicion. Finding no problems, he put it away.
In the end, Li Changfu personally led a large group of beautiful female cultivators and sent Qin Muling and his group out of the door with great courtesy.
It is rare to encounter a customer who can empty the inventory of Ju Bao Zhai in one go, perhaps once in thousands or tens of thousands of years. Although this is only a larger branch of Ju Bao Zhai, it is enough to prove the transcendent level of the other party's wealthy identity.
"Pick the best inn and settle down first!"
Qin Muling and the women wandered around the various market areas on the floating land for a while, and to their surprise, they found that there were no suspicious people secretly following them.
Originally, Qin Muling thought that such a big movement would probably attract the attention of some interested parties, but now it seems that he was overthinking.
"Perhaps they just haven't reacted yet. After all, the luck blessing on you is not fake."
Emperor Qing Huan laughed. When a cultivator possesses a strong luck fortune, everything they do will go smoothly, and they will instinctively avoid those with ill intentions or hostile forces.
Qin Muling has been in Kong Qing Great World for more than ten days since he changed his appearance and entered under the guise of traveling.
Thanks to the terrifying protection effect of luck, no one has noticed him, even after just completing such a big deal.
"Since it hasn't attracted the attention of the high-level figures of this Great World, let's continue shopping later, shall we? Resources are something that can never be too much."
Qin Muling said. As the master of the Immortal Dynasty, accumulating wealth has become one of his greatest hobbies, second only to cultivating in seclusion with his senior sisters.
"This is something that can be continued, but before that, I think you should complete the most important task!"
Linghu Qingya said solemnly.
"What task?"
"Of course, it's to find a list of high-level figures in Kong Qing Great World and use your innate Divine Ability to arrange them one by one!"
Linghu Qingya's eyes were cold. As long as Qin Muling's Divine Ability is powerful enough, he can definitely kill a large number of enemy top experts before the direct confrontation between the two Great Worlds, severely weakening their strength.
"That's a good idea, let's do it!"
Qin Muling immediately agreed. "Luck Plunder" and "Luck Dissipation" can now target two hundred targets at the same time, and even the top experts of the Three Corpse Unified Harmony will fall within a year due to the exhaustion of luck and the collapse of Dao Foundation, without any means to resist!
After a while, Qin Muling and his senior sisters arrived at the core area of the floating land and found the highest-level inn.
On the surface, it looked like a huge imperial city, with palaces, gardens, and pavilions stretching endlessly, and the spiritual essence was extremely abundant.
"...The Heavenly Grade A guest room, the price is one hundred thousand Supreme Grade spirit crystals per night, or equivalent resources! How long does Fellow Daoist plan to stay?"
The charming and shrewd female shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Although it was called a guest room, it was actually a magnificent palace covering thousands of acres, with a dedicated Grotto-Heaven blessed land inside, constantly supplying spiritual essence from the top-grade spiritual veins. All kinds of food and drink were of the highest standard, so the cost was not cheap.
"Then let's stay for half a year!"
Qin Muling ordered without hesitation. He came to Kong Qing Great World to cause trouble, so he wouldn't leave too early.
