Chapter 418: Chapter 418: A Trade

On the eleventh floor of the lightning tower, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was well-deserved its reputation as a supreme force .

The pavilion lord, Lei Shiyi, was a Void Inquiry Stage expert and he also had five Void Glimpse Stage subordinates . With so many experts in his force, no one had ever dared to enter the Myriad Treasure Pavilion without permission .

The lightning lord of the eleventh floor, Zhu Feng, came depending on the influence of the King Ying Long . Thus, there was certainly no one who dared to stop him .

However, how did Ning Fan who was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator get past the heavy lines of defense of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and invade the great hall?!

Chu Nanfeng, Mo Feiyun and the other three Void Glimpse Stage experts stood up in surprise and their eyes flashed with cold light .

They recognized Ning Fan . He was the person whom King Ying Long had sent out all his military strength to pursue . He was the person who slaughtered everyone on the first ten floors of the lightning tower on his own . He was a ferocious and ruthless devil .

Ning Fan’s baleful qi subsided as soon as it appeared . It made the five experts be filled with confusion, thinking that what he had felt earlier was just an illusion,

Was it just an illusion? Could that frightening baleful qi be just an illusion?

“This young man is just at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm . It’s certainly impossible for him to kill thirteen Void Refinement Realm beings with his own hands . Yes . That must be it . He is rumored to have three Void Refinement Realm puppets . The baleful qi that we sensed from him must belonged to the spiritual puppets in his hands!”

“After all, he is still a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator! As long as we don’t give him enough time to summon his spiritual puppets, there’s nothing to fear about him!”

When they thought like this, the five experts felt much calmer than before . Because of their own assumption, they could not help but slightly underestimate Ning Fan .

They did not know Ning Fan’s intention of coming to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion . However, judging from his words, it seemed like he had come to trade with Lei Shiyi .

If that’s the case, this man is not considered to be an enemy to us…

With the pavilion lord around, no matter Ning Fan was their enemy or friend, it would not need them deal with him .

“Oh? I have just gathered some primordial lightning . Before I have the time to contact Little Friend with the Thunder Sound Jade, you have already come to my Myriad Treasure Pavilion . You’re really a rare customer . ”

Lei Shiyi put down his golden abacus and gave Ning Fan a deep and meaningful look . Then, his lips parted and formed into a grin .

“Little Friend really has a lot of techniques reserved up your sleeves . You can actually get into my Myriad Treasure Pavilion without making any sound . I’m truly impressed!

“Please pardon me for my lack of manners . ”

Ning Fan smiled faintly . He did not talk much about his Heaven Deceiving Cloak . Then, he sat down on his own on a seat which was near to one corner of the hall .

Seeing Lei Shiyi had a friendly relation whip Ning Fan, Chu Nanfeng and the other Void Glimpse Stage experts felt even more composed than before . They then returned to their respective seats .

It seemed that Ning Fan would not harbor any other plots against the Myriad Treasure Pavilion as he had just come to purchase the primordial lightning .

The doubt which had been bothering them had finally gotten its answer .

So it turns out that the reason why Lei Shiyi hurriedly returned to the eleventh floor and spend a great effort to acquire primordial lightning was just to sell all of them to Ning Fan?

Strange . It’s strange .

No matter what, Ning Fan was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator . How did a cultivator with such a lowly cultivation base make Lei Shiyi treat him with politeness? Moreover, how did he manage to get away from the heavy pursuits from King Ying Long?

This young man is nothing more than a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator . Even though he possesses three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets, he still has no chance of winning at all in the face of a Void Inquiry Stage expert and five Void Glimpse Stage experts .

Why is he so calm? Isn’t he scared to sit down alone in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion which is an extremely dangerous place to him?

“All of you seems to be very interested in me, don’t you?” Ning Fan had sensed the faintly discernible spirit sense from the five individuals who were studying him from time to time . He released a bit of his sword sense and then repelled all of their spirit sense . After that, he talked with a faint smile on his face .

*Hiss*

The expressions of the five Void Glimpse Stage experts changed .

The means that Ning Fan had used to repel their spirit sense was none other than a sword sense . Besides, the strength of his spirit sense was completely not any weaker than an expert of the Void Glimpse Stage!

“Calm down, everyone . Little Friend Zhou is my customer!” Lei Shiyi grumpily stared at his five subordinates .

Even Lei Shiyi himself found that Ning Fan’s qi was erratic, making him unable to see through the latter . If his mere five subordinates were able to discover any details about Ning Fan, that would really be preposterous .

“My subordinates aren’t really sensible . I apologize on their behalf . Is Little Friend coming to my place this time to buy primordial lightning? As a matter of fact, I have already prepared ten thousand traces of primordial lightning . I wonder Little Friend has brought enough money with you?”

Lei Shiyi revealed a faint smile to Ning Fan again . While he was asking Ning Fan, he picked his nose and then sniffed the air gently .

As soon as he did that, his eyes immediately burnt with excitement .

“So many lightning jades?! It seems like the rumor about Little Friend wiping out the ten floors of the lightning tower is most probably true!”

“Ten thousand traces of primordial lightning?”

Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged and he felt slightly astonished inwardly . His lightning armor needed at least another 300 traces of primordial lightning to complete the next minor advancement .

Even though the reason he had come to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was to buy primordial lightning, he did not expect that Lei Shiyi would have so many primordial lightning in his hands .

Ten thousand trace of primordial lightning were completely enough for his lightning armor to break through to the second level of the golden grade . Moreover, there was a chance that it could even advance to the third level!

Each trace of primordial lightning represented the life of a Divine Transformation Realm undead spirit .

If Ning Fan had to gather ten thousand traces of primordial lightning on his own, he would definitely need to slaughter ten thousand Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits . In other words, it would only be possible for him to gather such a massive amount of primordial lightning by at least killing all the way up to the fifty or even sixty floors of the lightning tower . Obviously, that was unrealistic .

Inwardly, Ning Fan thought to himself .

If Lei Shiyi really has ten thousand traces of primordial lightning, these primordial lightning are certainly not obtained from killing the Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits . They are probably left by the Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits that died in the lightning tower in the past .

“Precisely! I have gathered ten thousand traces of primordial lightning . Hehe . According to the price of one lightning jade for thirty primordial lightning and a discount for Little Friend… Hehe… Bottom price, three hundred pieces of silver jades . What do you think?” Lei Shiyi rubbed his hands excitedly .

“Three hundred silver jades?!” The five Void Glimpse Stage experts were shocked . Even though they were experts of the Void Glimpse Stage, each of them only possessed one hundred silver jades .

The lightning power contained in three hundred silver jades was nearly equivalent to the total amount of wealth of three Void Glimpse Stage experts .

They could not believe that Ning Fan who was just at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm would possess so many lightning jades .

Besides, they found it even more difficult to believe that Ning Fan would buy a pile of useless primordial lightning at such an exorbitant price .

However, they would never know that the primordial lightning which were useless to undead spirits were excellent nourishment to Ning Fan for upgrading his lightning armor .

“It’s a deal . ”

Ning Fan uttered indifferently . In just a brief moment, such a trade which involved a huge sum of money was ended .

The final decision was made!

Lei Shiyi took out a few hundred jade boxes where all the traces of primordial lightning were sealed in and handed over to Ning Fan . Then, the latter paid him three hundred silver jades . The whole process of trading was swift and direct!

Chu Nanfeng and the others were left dazed and speechless . Ning Fan actually did not even bargain for a lower price in such a huge dealing . What a courageous man!

Unconsciously, the contempt they had against Ning Fan diminished a little . At least, they were aware that they did not have such courage to do so .

Ning Fan kept the primordial lightning . Once he leaves the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, he would then devour all of them and upgrade his lightning armor .

Lei Shiyi kept the three hundred silver jades . His heart was filled with elation . Once he devours all of these silver jades, his magic power could increase a lot again .

This dealing was of everyone’s delight and satisfaction .

“I wonder whether or not Fellow Daoist Lei still have any other good items . It’s rare that I came to Myriad Treasure Pavilion myself this time . I still have some spare money with me and I intend to buy some more excellent items . ”

Ning Fan still had 10 golden jades and 800 silver jades with him . These lightning jades were useless to him . Thus, he naturally was extremely willing to exchange for some treasures from Lei Shiyi’s hands .

As soon as Lei Shiyi heard his words, he immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly, as if a harlot who had met her adulterer . Without hesitation, he replied Ning Fan .

“Little Friend, don’t worry! My Myriad Treasure Pavilion lacks of everything except for treasures . I assure Little Friend that you certainly will return with satisfaction!”

He could smell that there were still a large number of lightning jades with Ning Fan .

He was extremely willing to earn all of those lightning jades away from him .

Suddenly, his eyes flashed brightly, as if he had thought of something .

I wonder if this Zhou Ming will want the Immortal Emperor’s Lightning Bones or not… To undead spirits like us, that item is also an item of no use . However, to a minority of undead spirits who cultivated unique body refinement techniques, it’s a supreme treasure…

This item is useless to me but it’s useful to certain undead spirits . However, those people could not afford to buy this item . Now, that King Ying Long has set his eyes upon it but he is reluctant to spend a single jade to buy it… If it’s a normal business, I, of course, will have sold it to him . However, he wants to seize it from me with force . Humph! Since the day I began doing business, I have never done a loss-making dealing . How can I just give the lightning bones to him for free?!”

This Zhou Ming still has 800 silver jades and 10 golden jades… What if I directly sell the lightning bones to him, just as the saying goes: either give up, or go through to the end . There are two benefits in doing so . Firstly, I can shirt my trouble to him . King Ying Long will no longer have any reason to disturb me . Secondly, hehe… I can get all the lightning jades that Zhou Ming has! With so many lightning jades, even if I can’t break through to the Late Void Refinement Realm after refining them into magic power, I will at least become one of the top experts among the Mid Void Refinement Realm experts!

The only thing I have to worry about is whether this Zhou Ming will buy this item…

Lei Shiyi’s eyes rotated from side to side . In terms of business, he quite admired Ning Fan who had a fair attitude while trading .

他决定取出藏匿的雷骨,给宁凡看看,试试此子会不会购买此骨 .

“老夫有件宝贝,要去取出,给小友鉴赏一二 . 小风子!你带周小友前往金品宝库,所有货物,包括禁品,但凡周小友看上,皆可卖给他 . ”

被称作小风子的,自然是楚南风 .

楚南风面色一惊,难以置信!

金品宝库中收藏的,可都是最最珍贵的至宝,纵然是问虚老怪来万宝阁,也未必会受雷十一待见,领入金品宝库的 .

且楚南风好歹也是一个窥虚老怪,为问虚老怪引路他也就认了,竟然为一个半步炼虚引路…

稍微有点丢脸…

“你不愿意去?”雷十一目光一沉,他平时猥琐,关键时候还是很有威严的 .

“岂敢 . ”楚南风苦笑,他哪敢违抗雷十一命令 .

“放心,老夫知道你那点小心思,不就是给小辈带路丢脸嘛,放心,老夫不会让你一个人丢人的 . 小云子,小杨子,还有你们两个,一起去!五个人一起,好好带周小友参观宝库!”雷十一不容拒绝道 .

“什么!”

莫飞云,杨老等人,俱是面色一变 .

五个窥虚,给一个化神小辈带路,这是不是太给宁凡面子了?

不,不对 .

五个人渐渐有点品出味了 .

雷十一命令五人一起为宁凡带路,好像不是厚待宁凡那么简单 .

是了,定是如此!雷十一是怕宁凡偷东西,让五个炼虚初期一起监视宁凡!

但这…怎么可能!

监视一个化神小辈,需要用到五个炼虚?在雷十一眼中,宁凡这么厉害?

五人看看瘦弱的宁凡,不信,不信宁凡能在窥虚老怪眼皮子下偷东西 .

金品宝库之内,可是有凡虚阵法的,阵光可封印傀儡法力,纵然宁凡身怀三具窥虚傀儡,也无法在宝库使用的 .

仅凭宁凡半步炼虚实力,需要五个炼虚去监视吗?大概不需要吧,一个楚南风足够了 .

阁主是不是小题大作了?

没有给五人拒绝的机会,雷十一匆匆离去,大概是取仙帝雷骨去了 .

楚南风等五个老怪,皆是面面相觑,虽拉不下脸为一个小辈引路,却又不敢违抗雷十一命令 .

心中一叹,罢了,由五人一起为小辈引路,一起丢脸,总好过一个人丢脸 .

“小友,接下来由老夫等人引你去金品宝库一览 . 有阁主命令在先,若小友看上什么东西,只要雷玉足够,便是禁品也可出售!”

“禁品?”宁凡狐疑道 .

“呵呵,对我等死灵而言,不少活人可吞噬的灵物,驱使的宝物,我等皆不可使用 . 若是误食,误用,反倒可能反噬重伤,譬如’冰云蒜’,此物对活人有着愈伤之效,但对我等死灵,则是一等一的毒物,一旦误服,会对死灵之身造成极大伤势 . 这些东西皆被阁主列为禁品,一般而言,不会出售给不识货的死灵 . 阁主常说,’死灵爱财,取之有道’,缺德的财,阁主不发 . ”

“是么…”

宁凡微微点头,这雷十一倒是有点意思,不将毒物卖给死灵,不发缺德财,这是雷十一的处事原则么 .

但为何偏偏卖给宁凡?

是对他的眼光有信心,还是察觉到他活人身份了?

“不知…不过这雷十一倒是很小心,派五个窥虚监视我,如此,我倒不得不打消偷盗宝库的打算了…罢了,偶尔来一次货钱两讫的交易,也好…”

金品宝库,有着重重死灵防卫 .

这些死灵一见宁凡这陌生人靠近宝库,立刻举起法宝,大为警戒 .

再一看,宁凡身旁竟还有五个窥虚长老引路,立刻,所有高手收起法宝,对宁凡肃然起敬 .

心中则暗暗揣测,半步炼虚修为的宁凡,究竟有何等尊贵的身份,竟能让五个炼虚引路,好大的面子!

难道说,宁凡是上级雷塔的修士么?有着炼虚后期乃至炼虚巅峰的背景?

念及于此,再无一人敢对宁凡投去不敬的目光,立刻让路,任由宁凡等人进入宝库 .

宝库共分四层,第一层中,收藏了不少丹药,法宝,皆是窥虚修士会用到的宝物 .

此层宝库,设有凡虚下品的阵光,借雷霆之力,对修士法力有不小的克制,对炼尸傀儡的克制更是极大 .

进入阵光前,楚南风勉强挤出半分笑容,介绍道,

“金品宝库设有重重阵法,可克死所有傀儡,对我等死灵修士也有不小的克制 . 宝库分四层,第一层之中,设有凡虚下品的阵法,纵然是老夫这等窥虚死灵,在此处也起码会限制一半的法力 . 呃…这个…有些事项,还请小友注意…”

楚南风口气略有犹豫 .

“道友不必吞吞吐吐,有何需要注意之事项,但可直言 . ”

“呵呵,不是老夫看不起道友,道友仅有半步炼虚修为,恐怕无法承受此地阵光,入阵之前,且服下一颗护身丹药,提升些防御也好 . ”

“原来楚道友在担心此事 . 道友放心,周某修为虽弱,但区区阵光,还是伤不到我的,丹药大可不必服下 . ”

宁凡目光一瞥那丹药,目露古怪之色 . 此丹对死灵而言,此丹确实是护体之丹,但对活人,便是毒药了 .

他是活人,自不愿服用毒药的 .

见宁凡拒绝服丹,楚南风面上微笑,心头却有些不悦 .

他好心给宁凡护体丹药,宁凡却狂妄自大地拒绝,难道宁凡以为,以他区区半步炼虚修为,能承受凡虚阵光?

“哼!待他受些伤势,必会知晓这阵光厉害,才会明白老夫是一番好心了 . ”

楚南风心中冷哼一声,面上却仍是赔笑,继续道,

“道友不服丹也罢,不过若是受伤,可绝不关老夫之事 . 还有一件事,务必要提醒道友 . 老夫之前说了,此地阵光克死一切傀儡 . 道友虽身怀三具窥虚傀儡,但切莫在宝库中召出,否则会被阵光判定为偷盗宝库,予以击杀的 . ”

“是么,此事我记下了,不会在宝库召出傀儡 . ”

宁凡点点头,他已打消洗劫宝库的念头,自不会多此一举召出傀儡争斗 .

他亦不担心被五名窥虚引入阵法,会被图谋不轨 .

这阵法借雷力克制修士法力,他凝出太素雷星,自然不惧阵法的 . 他亦有欺天斗篷,若执意想走,碎虚之下,无人可拦住他,安全问题,无须担心 .

“好,小友这般说,老夫也就放心了 . 小友,请!”

楚南风一马当先,一步迈入第一层的阵光中,立刻,阵光朝他一卷,化作滋滋作响的雷光,将其一电,身躯一颤,气势急遽压低 . 仅数息之后,其法力竟几乎被压制了三成之多!

莫飞云等人亦是相继步入阵光,纷纷被压制了三成至四成的法力 .

法力越浑厚,受到的压制便越低 . 以炼虚修士的浑厚法力,也难免被压制三四成法力 . 若是寻常半步炼虚进入阵光,若不服食护体丹药,直接会法力尽封,且会被阵光一震重伤的 .

五名窥虚相继入阵,目光俱都落在宁凡身上 .

尤其是楚南风,最是想看看宁凡反噬受伤的模样 .

年轻人嘛,总是很自以为是的,受受挫折,便知道前辈们忠言逆耳了 .

“老楚,此子毕竟是阁主的客人,纵然狂妄些,我等却不可真看此子受伤 . 一旦此子被阵光反噬,我等只让他稍稍吃些苦头即可,莫让他死在宝库之内 . ”莫飞云传音提醒道 .

“放心,老夫自有分寸,岂会对他见死不救?不过是削削他年轻人的锐气而已,也算是为他好 . ”

楚南风轻轻摇头,他也不是小肚鸡肠之人 .

五个老怪的目光,俱都凝聚在宁凡身上 .

宁凡目露古怪之色,他何等心智,自然看出五人心中所想 .

这五个老怪,是不是太无聊了,竟然在等他被阵光反噬受伤…

他们,注定要失望了…

宁凡一步迈入阵光,滋滋作响的金色雷光,立刻朝其一镇而下,好似千山坠落!

浩大的声势,足以直接镇压一切化神,除非是炼虚,否则无人能挡此地雷光!

宁凡眉心雷光一闪,眼中升起一股浩瀚的气势,一字喝出,

“滚!”

只一字,漫天金雷,俱都好似畏惧一般,匆匆退避,无一雷敢攻击宁凡!

这一刻的宁凡,好似万雷之主,何雷敢伤!

一股古老而沧桑的威压,从宁凡眼中散出,不经意扫过楚南风等五名窥虚 .

霎时间,五名雷修死灵,俱都从灵魂深处,升起对宁凡的畏惧之感 .

无法理解!无法理解宁凡区区半步炼虚,进入凡虚雷阵,为何毫发无损!

无法理解!无法理解宁凡的目光威势为何如此强横,竟让五名窥虚不敢逼视!

一瞬间,包括楚南风在内,竟再无一人敢小觑宁凡 .

不,不仅仅如此,五人的心头,俱在宁凡目光扫过之时,升起浓浓的畏惧 .

“此子…很危险!阁主派我等五人监视其一人,很有必要!”
