Chapter 998: Chapter 712: Special Status

The street was wide, bustling with people, and lined with shops, exuding Spiritual Qi, indeed displaying a prosperous scene.

Soon, Feng Xingyun stopped in front of a grand and splendid large shop.

Above the entrance hung a plaque with golden letters on a black background: "Fu Hai Commerce Alliance."

"Reporting to the senior, this is the branch of Fu Hai Commerce Alliance in Yueqi City, also one of the largest, most complete, and most reputable shops in the city."

Feng Xingyun introduced respectfully and then wisely stepped back.

"Senior may enter on your own; I will wait here..."

"No need, let’s go in together, wait inside." Shen Xuan said casually.

"Oh! Alright! Thank you, senior!"

Feng Xingyun was delighted upon hearing this.

Being able to enter such a top-tier shop with a Core Formation True Master was itself a symbol of status.

He immediately straightened his chest, walked with his head held high, and headed towards the imposing entrance.

The maid standing at the door saw Feng Xingyun swaggering and frowned slightly, about to scold him, but her gaze passed over Feng Xingyun to see Shen Xuan following behind.

The maid quickly put on a professional sweet smile, gracefully approached, and bowed deeply to Shen Xuan: "An esteemed guest gracing us makes Fu Hai Commerce Alliance flourish! Our alliance is the foremost large firm in the Qin Country, with goods transported north and south, excellent and reasonably priced, with distinguished reputation. May I know what the senior requires for your esteemed visit? I can introduce you."

Shen Xuan did not respond to the maid’s attentiveness, instead said indifferently to Feng Xingyun: "Young Feng, go call the shopkeeper out."

"Yes! Please wait, senior!"

Feng Xingyun responded crisply and turned to run quickly towards the counter deep inside the shop, moving nimbly.

The maid was left standing, her smile slightly stiffened, but she dared not show any dissatisfaction, continuing to stand respectfully.

Soon, a well-adorned, corpulent middle-aged man followed Feng Xingyun out quickly.

This person was at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, walking with a sleek demeanor of someone long accustomed to commerce.

His gaze fell on Shen Xuan, and his face immediately beamed with an enthusiastic smile as he stepped forward to greet with clasped hands: "Senior Shen gracing us with your presence, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner, forgive me! My surname is Lou, the shopkeeper of this branch. Senior, there are too many people and eyes here, please follow me upstairs to a private room for detailed discussion?"

"Hmm." Shen Xuan nodded slightly as a response.

"Please, senior!" Shopkeeper Lou sidestepped to lead the way, showing great diligence.

Shen Xuan stepped forward, following Shopkeeper Lou up the stairs.

Only then did the maid standing aside dare to glance up slightly, covering her mouth in astonishment as she watched Shen Xuan’s back walking upstairs, her eyes full of disbelief.

Even Shopkeeper Lou addressed him as "senior", indicating he was undoubtedly a Core Formation True Master!

She turned to glance at Feng Xingyun, who was squinting and pulling faces at her, and couldn’t help but give him a hard stare.

Turning back, she looked at Shen Xuan’s back again, her eyes full of tender affection.

...

The private room on the fifth floor was elegantly furnished, with sandalwood incense wafting gently.

Shopkeeper Lou personally poured Shen Xuan a cup of Spirit Tea.

"May I know what treasure Senior Shen wishes to acquire? Our alliance will certainly endeavor to serve the senior to the utmost."

Shen Xuan got straight to the point: "Does your shop have the Inner Core and Essence Blood of a Fire Attribute Tier Three Demon King? Upper Grade preferred."

Shopkeeper Lou paused at these words, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Senior Shen, to be honest, our alliance does have some inventory of what you need. However, such Tier Three Demon King materials are very valuable, mostly reserved by sects or noble families, rarely circulating in the market. What does the senior plan to use for the transaction?"

The implication was, if using Spirit Stones for the transaction, don’t bother asking.

Shen Xuan smiled faintly and tapped lightly on the table.

A gentle white light flickered, and a smooth, jade-like bottle appeared out of thin air, quietly landing on the jade table.

"How about trading with this item?"

Shopkeeper Lou eyed the jade bottle, carefully uncorking it.

An aroma directly affecting the Divine Soul instantly spread out, filling the entire private room.

He leaned closer to the bottle opening, sniffing carefully, his complexion changed dramatically!

"This is..."

He looked up at Shen Xuan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Please wait a moment, Senior Shen, I must invite our alliance’s Tributor Pill Master for identification."

Shopkeeper Lou’s voice trembled.

Setting down the jade bottle, he quickly walked to the messaging jade mirror on the side of the private room and whispered a few words.
