1068 Red Sandalwood Stone Marrow, Nine-Death Insects in Flames (3)
He had more Red Sandalwood Stone Marrow.
Zhao Chen smiled.
“Brother Zuo, how much do you have?”
Zuo Baichou raised his hand and extended three fingers.
“300 catties?” Zhao Chen nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, “Then I’ll offer 80 million spiritual rocks—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Zuo Baichou said softly, “30,000 catties.”
30,000 catties!
Zhao Chen’s shoulders trembled.
30,000 catties of marrow would be worth at least tens of billions of spiritual rocks.
At such a critical treasure level, it was not just about settling with spiritual rocks.
If the Jujin Trading Company could obtain such a treasure, it would be beneficial to the entire trading firm.
A treasure worth tens of billions of spiritual rocks could be exchanged for an immortal treasure.
With the addition of an immortal treasure reigning over them, the strength of the Jujin Trading Company would at least double.
To bet or not to bet?
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Zhao Chen looked at Left Baichou. “Brother Zuo, do you really want to part with such a valuable treasure?”
Zuo Baichou nodded.
He raised his hand, and a dark golden stone with a purple glow appeared in his palm.
“The Red Sandalwood Stone Marrow can only be found in rich mines.”
Zhao Chen recognized the value of the item, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Chen slowly stood up.
“If—”
Just as he finished speaking, Han Muye suddenly said, “This mine is in the Bitter Immortal Realm, right?”
Zhao Chen paused, while Zuo Baichou remained unfazed and nodded, “That’s right.”
“The Red Sandalwood Stone Marrow Mine is considered valuable even in the Bitter Immortal Realm. It’s impressive that your trading company managed to bring out so many treasures,” Han Muye said softly.
These words made Zhao Chen’s expression change slightly.
Perhaps only forces that had allied with powerful demons could bring out so many treasures, right?
A large trading company that spanned across the three provinces was actually backed by a powerful demon?
“Well, in business, nothing is shameful,” Zuo Baichou said calmly, looking at Han Muye. “Does it bother you, Brother Han?”
Such an open admission caught Zhao Chen off guard as well.
After all, Han Muye was a prospective elite disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect, and the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect and the demons of the Bitter Immortal Realm were enemies.
“I don’t mind doing business,” Han Muye shook his head, a hint of depth in his eyes as he turned to look outside the window. “I’m just curious, what kind of divine beast are the demons in the Bitter Immortal Realm feeding the Red Sandalwood Stone Marrow to?”
Feeding divine beasts!
Zuo Baichou’s expression changed abruptly, and he stood up suddenly.
But before he could speak, a loud bang came from outside the attic.
“Boom!”
In the vast square, a golden flame soared into the sky, burning fiercely and reaching the clouds.
The great refiner, Zheng Yi, who was covered in flames, held the shattered red sandalwood stone marrow in his hand and fled in panic.
However, after he had flown a thousand feet, a long tail emerged from within the flames, grabbing hold of him and dragging him in.
A cultivator at the Heaven Realm, a renowned alchemist in Sanhuo City, had perished just like that.
The square erupted in commotion as countless cultivators scattered and fled.
But the flame seemed to be particularly interested in cultivators, as one after another, long tails emerged and swept towards the surroundings.
“The Red Sandalwood Stone Marrow is very attractive to an ancient fire-veined exotic beast.” Han Muye’s gaze fell on the flames as he spoke softly. “The Nine-Death Insect in Flames.”
Zuo Baichou’s expression instantly turned grim. He lowered his voice and stared intently at the flames where the long tails emerged. “Born from fire, with the power of life and death rebirth, it is the nourishment for the ancient divine beast, the Phoenix.
“So, they are after the rebirth power of the Nine-Death Insect.
“Hehe, it turns out that the mighty merchant group that dominates three provinces is nothing more than laborers delivering food.”
Looking at the intertwining gold and purple jade marrow in his hand, Zuo Baichou flicked his hand and threw it out directly!
“Roar—”
The ball of flames exploded, and a 1,000-foot-long body with countless fiery red worms trailing behind it pounced at the jade marrow.
At this moment, several figures in black armor descended from the void.
