Chapter 816: Geomancer



It was a view unique to Snow Maple City.

Rumor said that in the ancient era, a snow maple tree had attained cultivation and proved its dao here. On the day it became a Saint, its leaves danced in the air like snowflakes, creating a snowstorm that covered the sky.

Lin Xun, however, wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery as he hurried through the streets with his body cloaked and his face concealed by his hat.

"The Windspeaker Clan truly has the biggest mouth in the world. They spread news faster than anyone else!" Lin Xun inwardly cursed.

He had entered the city earlier than the Yu siblings and thus also arrived at the News Tree before them.

Originally, he had wanted to see if anything important had happened recently. Who could have anticipated that the sensational news would end up being related to himself...

If not for his quick thinking to immediately cover himself with a cloak and hat, he would probably have been recognized.

"The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan is truly despicable. I can’t believe they posted a bounty on me. Do they think that I’m an easy target?"

Lin Xun was unable to restrain his murderous intent when he recalled the bounty notice he had seen.

After leaving the Flame Capital, he had been relentlessly pursued and encountered countless dangers.

Before he could properly settle the score, the other party had already gone ahead and issued a bounty on him in the West Infinity World.

It showed that they were intent on putting him down at all costs!

"Whatever. I’ll settle the score with those black dog trash after I’m finished with my business." Lin Xun took a deep breath and made his decision.

……

Snow Treasure House.

This was the largest merchant group in Snow Maple City. The artifacts, rare treasures, pills, weapons, and other goods it sold were fully capable of meeting the needs of the cultivators in the city.

Lin Xun was warmly received by a lady attendant soon after arriving.

"I plan to sell a batch of aeth materials. Please help me make the arrangements." Lin Xun went straight to the point.

The attendant was stunned and couldn\'t help but ask, "What kind of materials will the Young Master be selling and what is the quantity like? If the quantity is too little..."

Lin Xun could hear the skepticism in the attendant’s words and interjected, "The materials are of pretty good quality, and there should be sufficient quantity. I’m only a little worried about whether the Snow Treasure Building will be able to take it all."

The attendant displayed a reserved smile and said, "The Young Master might not know that our Snow Treasure House is the number one merchant group in the city. Until now, there haven’t been any goods in the entire Snow Maple City that our Snow Treasure House can’t take."

Lin Xun grinned. "That sounds perfect. Please go get an appraiser and prepare enough aeth essences so we can begin the dealings."

He had no time to waste. Snow Maple City wasn’t a place he could stay for long, not to mention a bounty notice had been issued on him. If his whereabouts were exposed, a big ruckus would certainly follow.

Upon seeing Lin Xun’s confidence, the attendant didn\'t dare tarry any longer. She quickly led him into an elegant private room before leaving in a hurry.

Not long after, the attendant returned with a man and woman.

The lady attendant said in a low voice, "Young Miss, this is the Young Master who wishes to sell aeth materials."

However, she was quickly shocked to find that the Young Miss was frozen as if she was bewitched the moment she set eyes on Lin Xun.

It wasn’t only the Young Miss. The little Young Master was also dumbfounded and looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was also taken aback as he inwardly remarked that it was such a coincidence to encounter this pair of siblings again.

It was Yu Xuejiao and Yu Xuetian!

They had just returned to Snow Precious House when someone reported that a customer wanted to sell a large amount of materials and was worried Snow Precious House wouldn’t be able to take it all in, which simply felt absurd to them.

In the several thousand years their Yu Family had managed Snow Precious House, no customer had ever dared to make such a bold claim.

Out of curiosity, they immediately decided to go and see who this customer was who had dared to make such a bold claim.

In fact, they even began to suspect that it was someone sent by a competitor to cause trouble.

However, never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that they would see Lin Xun here!

When they recalled the earth-shaking news that they had heard at the News Tree, both siblings began to feel a sensation of unrealness to the situation.

The very demon-god heaven pride, who was the center of the sensational news that was rapidly spreading and shaking Snow Maple City, had appeared here?

Wouldn’t it cause an even bigger commotion if this were to get out?

Although most of Lin Xun\'s face was hidden by the brim of his hat, Yu Xuejiao was still able to identify him right away!

However, she soon stiffened. Lin Xun was also looking at her and although his gaze appeared calm, it made her heart shiver as she rapidly returned to her senses.

She instructed the lady attendant to leave with a wave before closing the doors of the private room. Finally, she said, "Young Master...wishes to sell aeth materials? "

She looked composed as if she was receiving an ordinary customer.

Beside her, Yu Xuetian could not help but blurt out, "Elder Sis, don’t you recognize him? He’s..."

Yu Xuejiao casually said, "Little Brother, we were mistaken. Do not say anymore and just watch from the sidelines."

Although Yu Xuetian could not understand, he did not dare to speak any further. He took up a spot in the corner and continued to observe Lin Xun out of wariness, fear, respect, and curiosity.

A sliver of appreciation flashed in Lin Xun\'s black eyes. Even he had to admit that Yu Xuejiao was an extremely intelligent woman.

There were things that you should never say out loud even if you knew. Sometimes, acting as if you didn’t know was the wisest choice.

Just like at this moment, for example. Yu Xuejiao understood that the moment the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Race found out their Yu Family had been in contact with Lin Xun, it would definitely lead to an unpredictable catastrophe!

Lin Xun said, "If it\'s a problem, I\'ll go to another merchant group."

Yu Xuejiao was taken aback. Soon after, she laughed. "My Snow Precious House is a business. How could we possibly drive customers away?"

In response, Lin Xun no longer held back. With a wave of his sleeve and a loud clatter, a complete purple ore vein resembling a coiled python appeared, filling the room with its radiance.

Yu Xuetian\'s eyes lit up as he blurted out, "A fully intact Lavender Treasure Copper vein!"

Meanwhile, Yu Xuejiao also displayed her appraisal ability. After examining it for a brief moment, she said, "High-grade quality, but it still needs to undergo a re-refinement process to produce true Lavender Treasure Copper. According to my estimations, this ore vein is roughly worth eighty high-grade aeth essences."

Lin Xun nodded. "We’ll go with the price you’ve given."

Eighty high-grade aeth essences was equivalent to eight-thousand mid-grade aeth essences! It was definitely a generous offer.

Yu Xuejiao smiled faintly. "As long as the Young Master is satisfied. I shall go to prepare your aeth essence."

Lin Xun called out to stop her, "No rush, there are still many other aeth materials I wish to sell."

Yu Xuejiao was stunned. To be frank, a deal worth eighty high-grade aeth essences was already a rather big transaction that would seldom occur even once a fortnight.

However, she never imagined that this was merely the start!

Clatter~

With another wave of his sleeve, an ore vein covered in a hazy and smoky crimson glow appeared. Although it was only as thick as a thumb, it was also extremely long and managed to coil up into a rather sizable pile.

It was a completely intact Crimson Smoke Jade ore vein!

Yu Xuejiao immediately identified it at a glance. It was also a rare and precious high-grade material that was even more highly valued than the Lavender Treasure Copper.

"Red as if it\'s burning and crystal clear without any visible impurities. This is peak quality material that can be exchanged for a hundred and twenty high-grade aeth essences according to the market rate."

Yu Xuejiao took a deep breath and quoted a price.

She didn\'t have the courage to lie to Lin Xun even a little because he was a peerless individual who was destined to shake the West Infinity World.

Lin Xun grunted softly in acknowledgment before retrieving more ore veins one after another. There was True White Gold, Jade Rune Steel, Star Gold Jade......

About a dozen ore veins were piled up in the private room. They glowed gorgeously, flowing with enchanting light.

"This this...this is too much..." Yu Xuetian\'s lips trembled, completely dumbfounded.

Although he was born into the rich Yu Family that was the number one faction in Snow Maple City and had seen many treasures in his life, he had never seen so many aeth veins together in one place!

Even Yu Xuejiao felt a little unsettled, and she could not help but ask, "Young Master, are you also a geomancer who is proficient in searching for ore veins?"

Geomancer!

It was a noble and superior existence that knew the art of reading the land and possessed the almost magical ability of interpreting the aura of the earth and predicting the direction of the energy that flowed within it.

Whenever a faction wanted to construct a cultivation paradise, they would spare no cost to enlist the help of a geomancer!

Regretfully, there were far too few geomancers. These rare individuals could usually only be found in ancient factions.

Even in the Yunmeng Province which contained more than a thousand cities, there were only five known geomancers, four of whom were employed by the Feather Sword Sect!

From this, it could be seen how revered a geomancer was. They were existences that were no different from the rune grandmasters who were proficient in crafting aeth tools.

"Nope." Lin Xun shook his head. He also knew of the existence of these geomancers, but he did not know much about the secret arts they had mastered.

The ore veins he wished to sell had been found in the wilderness with the Chaofeng Eye’s ability.

Yu Xuejiao’s expression turned somewhat complicated as she inwardly said, "How else could he have found so many rare and precious ore veins?"

However, since Lin Xun was unwilling to admit it, it wouldn’t be polite to probe any further.

It didn\'t take long for the final transaction price to be calculated. The total was one thousand and twenty high-grade aeth essences!

The astronomical figure left even Yu Xuejiao and Yu Xuetian in a daze.

Even the Yu Family that was known as the number faction in Snow Maple City could not obtain so many aeth essences in short notice!

Only now did they finally understand why Lin Xun had remarked earlier that he was worried the Snow Precious House wouldn’t be able to take it all...

Lin Xun was naturally able to somewhat understand their predicament and said, "I’ll be needing Spirit Accumulation Jades, preferably high-grade although mid-grade is also fine. The more you have the better. How much will Snow Precious House be able to provide?"

Yu Xuejiao\'s spirits were immediately lifted by these words.
