According to Zheng-Fu's knowledge, there were a total of three big monster soul shops. Two of the three depended upon the big clans. Those were Monster Heart Box Shop directly under the control of the Heaven-Burning Flame Clan, and Monster Jewel Shop directly under the control of the Celestial Star Sky Clan. As for Heavenly Soul Shop, it was not directly connected to any clan. They had their own forces to procure monster souls.
The shop that Zheng-Fu chose was the independent Heavenly Soul Shop. Because the Monster Heart Box Shop belonged to the Heaven-Burning Flame Clan that he had an issue with. If he went there and met the young man who had an issue with him before, something bad would definitely happen. As for Celestial Star Sky Clan's Monster Jewel Shop, Zheng-Fu had no issue with them. But it was under a big clan anyway.
"From what I know, Heavenly Soul Shop is quite a distance away from here. It's about five or six alleys past Nine Heavens Martial Arena. If I use the carriage, it would take about Half an hour!" Zheng-Fu tried to calculate the distance and time to go to Heavenly Soul Shop.
Carriage!
Screeeeeeech!
"Yes, sir, Master! Where do you want me to take you to, sir?"
"I want to go to Heavenly Soul Shop. Do you know the route?" Zheng-Fu immediately told the coachman the destination.
"Of course, Master! There's no place that I don't know. You can trust me, sir!" The young coachman immediately proudly replied to Zheng-Fu that he knew all the routes in the city.
Umm!
Half an hour passed...
Screeeeeeech!
"We've arrived at the destination, Master!"
After half an hour, the carriage finally arrived in front of a seven-story building. It was surrounded by other shops and many large houses. And there were also a lot of people walking around the area.
"Thank you very much! This is your wages. And please wait for me and take me back," Zheng-Fu said and nodded lightly, before handing a bag containing more than a hundred low-level Purple Heaven Crystals to the young man.
"Thank you, Master! I'll be waiting here for you, sir!" The young man took the bag and immediately opened it to look inside, before smiling happily.
Umm!
Zheng-Fu got off the carriage and walked towards the front entrance of a seven-story building with a large sign that read 'Heavenly Soul Shop' which was his destination.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Welcome to Heavenly Soul Shop, Young Master! Do you want to buy a monster soul, sir?" As soon as Zheng-Fu stood in front of the building's entrance, a young woman's voice sounded, and then her figure appeared before him.
"Yes! I want to buy monster souls. Can you guide me?" Zheng-Fu lightly nodded and replied.
"Of course, sir! Then, Young Master please follow me," the young woman answered with a charming smile, before leading Zheng-Fu into the shop.
Umm!
The first floor of Heavenly Soul Shop was simple and modestly decorated. There were several customers present, most of whom were ordinary cultivators, forgers, and apothecaries who had to use monster souls.
"The monster souls on the first floor are the typical low-level ones, ranging from the Heavenly Root stage to the Heavenly Foundation Building stage, sir. And their prices depend on their rarity," the receptionist explained.
"Umm! They aren't the types I want yet," Zheng-Fu nodded in understanding, before telling her that he did not want the monster souls of these levels.
"Then, let's go up to the second floor, sir. The second floor has the monster souls from the Heavenly Golden Core stage to the Heavenly Star Stage. I think Young Master would…"
"I want spirit monster souls. Does your shop have them?" Zheng-Fu did not want to detour to waste any time. He immediately told the young woman his purpose.
Ah!
When the receptionist heard what Zheng-Fu wanted, she had a shocked expression on her face. Because, normally, most of the customers came to buy only ordinary monster souls. Very few people would ask about the spirit monster souls. And those people had to go through verification and verify their identity before they could trade with this Heavenly Soul Shop.
"I have to apologize to Young Master, sir. To purchase the spirit monster souls, the buyer must verify their identity first. Our shop's Master Elder will check it himself. And besides, you'll have to put down a security deposit, sir," the young woman did not know who Zheng-Fu was. And she had to do her duty and tell him these rules.
"There's no problem with that. I'm willing to obey both rules…"
"There's no need for that, sir, Young Master Zheng-Fu! As for you, you can buy all kinds of monster souls that our shop has," at that moment, an elder's voice interrupted.
Huh!?
Manager!
"You know me!!?" Zheng-Fu had never seen this elder before. So, he asked curiously and cautiously.
"Of course, sir, Young Master Zheng-Fu! Who wouldn't know the disciple who made the reputation for our Heavenly Command Sect? Besides, I went to your Heavenly Gratitude Tavern the other day. That's why I got to know who you are," said the elder, who was actually Chou-Bing's friend.
Hmm!
"I'm very grateful to Master Elder for showing me kindness!" Zheng-Fu constantly observed the elder's gaze as he spoke. He saw no lies, only admiring and sincere eyes. So, he replied politely.
Ha ha ha!
"You're such a humble person! Just as Comrade Chou-Bing had said. And I'm so grateful that Young Master Zheng-Fu came to Heavenly Soul Shop," said the elder. He laughed loudly with a satisfied expression on his face because, at first, he thought that Zheng-Fu would be easily flattered by just a little praise like a young man who was full of himself.
"Not at all, sir! By the way, do you know Master Elder Chou-Bing?"
"Of course! He often came here to buy monster souls. But first, let's talk in the upstairs lounge. There are too many people here. I'm afraid it'll disturb Young Master," the elder invited Zheng-Fu upstairs to chat.
"Thank you, sir!"
Zheng-Fu clasped his hands and bowed slightly. Before he turned to the young woman who guided him, "Thank you so much, Miss, for recommending things to me, and this is your compensation!" Finished speaking, Zheng-Fu took out a medium-level Purple Heaven Crystal and handed it over to her.
Hah!
"But it's too much, sir, Young Master! I cannot accept it," but the young woman rejected him. Because it was much more than she could accept.
"Take it, for my sake. If you don't accept it, I'll consider you treating the customer badly. And will also report this to the shop manager!" Zheng-Fu said with a sly smile. He used the standing there elder as an excuse with a deadpan look.
But... But...
"Take it! Since the Young Master has given it to you, don't make him regret it!" The elder saw the troubled look on the young woman's face staring at him. So, he gave her permission with a smile.
"Yes, sir, manager!"
Grab!
The young woman immediately took over the medium-level Purple Heaven Crystal happily. She did not think that she would be so lucky today. If she had not met Zheng-Fu, she did not know how long she had to work to earn this much. And once she received the Purple Heaven Crystal, she instantly went back to her work.
Ten minutes passed, in a special reception room on the seventh floor of Heavenly Soul Shop...
"I'm Huo-Seng, the owner of this Heavenly Soul Shop. Nice to meet you, Young Master Zheng-Fu," the elder formally introduced himself again.
"Respect, Master Elder Huo-Seng. I'm Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu. Nice to meet you too, Master Elder!" Zheng-Fu also formally introduced himself. Even though the other party already knew his name. But it would be very rude to not introduce himself.
Hmm!
"By the way, Young Master came here to buy spirit monster soul, right?" the elder quickly entered the trading mode.
"That's right, sir. I want spirit monster souls at the advanced Heavenly Star Stage and above. Does your shop have them, sir?" Zheng-Fu immediately said what he wanted as well.
Umm!
"Our shop definitely has spirit monster souls for sale. The highest level we have right now is at the seventh level of the Deity Soul stage. But we have a limited number. How many do you need, sir?" replied the elder.
"What about the prices? Master Elder, can you give me their rough prices?" Even though he had a lot of money with him, he had to ask about the price first. In case it was too much for him to pay. Because right now, he had an additional burden on his forces as well.
"As for the advanced Heavenly Star Stage spirit monster soul, it's priced at fifty medium-level Purple Heaven Crystals per soul. The spirit monster soul at the first level of the Deity Soul stage is priced at one to five high-level Purple Heaven Crystals, the second level is at ten to twenty crystals, the third level is at fifty to eighty crystals, the fourth level is at one hundred to five hundred crystals, the fifth level is at a thousand crystals up to three thousand crystals. The sixth level is at ten thousand crystals or more. And finally, the price of the seventh level is around one hundred thousand high-level Purple Heaven Crystals, sir, Young Master!"
Elder Hu-Seng carefully explained to Zheng-Fu the cost of the spirit monster soul of each level. The higher the energy level, the higher its price because it was rare and had other specific elements.
Umm!
Listening to the selling price, Zheng-Fu could not help but be saddened by the spirit monster souls he used earlier. Because he used one spirit monster soul at the third level of the Deity Soul stage, including countless first and second-level spirit monster souls of that stage. Knowing their prices, whenever he met Li-Xiao-Yue again, he would demand a lot from her.
"How many advanced Heavenly Star Stage spirit monster souls does your shop have?" First of all, Zheng-Fu had to start from the lowest level he planned.
"Our shop has advanced Heavenly Star Stage spirit monster souls, a total of ten thousand, sir, Young Master," the elder immediately replied without thinking for a long time because he already knew their exact number.
"Ten thousand souls? Hmm! If so, I'd like to buy all of them."
Hah!
