Chapter 427: Chapter 204: Attending the Sea Spirit Festival, Ink Flood Dragon, Fighting Crab (2)

He was also wearing a bright red robe, almost blending in with the colorful streamers.

He was currently shouting his pitch with all his might: "Fellow cultivators, this is a genuine Tier Three Flood Dragon! Today, for a mere ten Spirit Stones, you can ride it once. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!"

’Tier Three?’

Xiao Chen’s gaze sharpened. He looked closer and saw that although the Ink Flood Dragon had no horns on its head, two large bumps had already started to swell up.

It was a clear sign that it was about to Transform into a Dragon!

"Is it really just ten Spirit Stones?"

A young man from the crowd of spectating cultivators stepped forward and asked, his heart pounding with excitement, "Can I ride the dragon too?"

He was only in the late stage of Qi Refining, and he yearned for such an experience.

"Of course you can. For ten Spirit Stones, you can get on and ride it once. I also have Memory Stones here. For just ten more Spirit Stones, you can even have a memento recorded."

The tall young man immediately launched into his sales pitch. "They say seeing is believing, after all."

"Why not take a recording back with you, young friend? When you meet your friends and family in the future, you can show it off to them."

’Wow, he even has bundled services.’

Xiao Chen glanced over and saw that they were clearly the lowest-grade Memory Stones.

High-grade Memory Stones could record an entire moving scene, but they were also relatively expensive, costing several dozen Spirit Stones each.

Ordinary Memory Stones could only store three or four images, but they had the advantage of being cheap.

They usually sold for only three Spirit Stones, with a discount for bulk purchases.

.

The young Qi Refining cultivator before him, however, was flushed, his breathing ragged. He was clearly overcome with excitement.

He immediately took out twenty Spirit Stones and handed them over. "Senior, please help me record a memento."

"No problem at all!"

The tall young man’s face broke into a wide grin as he accepted the Spirit Stones. He then guided the other man onto the beast. "Don’t be afraid. Mo is very obedient. Just be bold and hop on up."

"Come on, a little more forward... a bit more... perfect!"

He then held up the Memory Stone and captured the scene before him.

The moment before the image was captured, the Ink Flood Dragon even cooperatively opened its eyes, startling many of the nearby Qi Refining cultivators.

But it immediately closed them again languidly to rest, having no desire to bother with these weak little monkeys.

’Born a dragon, yet saddled with a master who only has eyes for money. What else can I do but sleep?’

It was as if a dam had burst. Many of the surrounding Qi Refining cultivators, who had been tempted but too timid to step forward, now rushed over, pulling out Spirit Stones and asking for a recording of their own. The crowd surged in an instant.

The tall young man was almost too busy to keep up.

Taking a picture with one person took about ten seconds, and including the transaction time, it was no more than twenty seconds total.

In just a Quarter Hour, he had taken in over nine hundred Spirit Stones. Even some Foundation Establishment Cultivators were moved, and they proactively chose to purchase the more expensive Memory Stones.

At this rate, he would be making nearly Five Thousand Spirit Stones an hour.

Over a full day, he could probably rake in twenty or thirty thousand Spirit Stones without a problem.

Xiao Chen did a quick mental calculation of the profits and couldn’t help but sigh. ’What a knack for making money.’

And don’t think that wasn’t a lot—the entire Nanhu Su Family only earned about that much in a whole year.

However, this sort of thing could only happen in the Eastern Domain. If this were in the Southern Domain, it was unlikely that any Golden Core Patriarch would be able to cast aside their pride to earn Spirit Stones from Qi Refining cultivators.

"Changgeng, isn’t that Ling Tianyi, the current Sword Master of the Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect, and his Ink Flood Dragon?"

Not far away, a female cultivator’s eyes widened, her small hand half-covering her mouth. "How could he be doing something like this?"

"This is... this is utterly disgraceful."

Her voice was actually very low; normally, only those right beside her would have been able to hear.

But since Xiao Chen was currently a wanted man, he was constantly on the lookout for any unusual behavior around him, and he noticed the abnormality at once.

He heard her male companion scoff. "Hmph. The Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect has no worthy successors these days. It’s nothing but an empty name."

"Sword Master? He’s a joke."

"Yayang, you just spend too much time reading those Ancient Texts. This is the era of our Star-Picking Sword Pavilion now. You don’t need to pay any mind to these has-beens."

"Let’s go. I’ve already booked a residence in advance. We’ve been traveling for two months; it’s time we got some proper rest."

With that, he led the group of four and turned to leave.

He had his reasons for looking down on the Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, as Demon Cultivators in the Eastern Domain were all but eradicated, no one dared to openly act under the banner of the Demon Dao anymore.

The Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect, founded specifically to fight Demon Cultivators, inevitably began to decline.

The main reason was that many of the Cultivation Techniques passed down by the founding patriarch of the Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect were specifically designed to counter Demon Cultivators.

This meant, however, that they weren’t as effective when fighting against other Righteous Sects.

As far as Xiao Chen knew, there were three Major Sects in the Dragon-Slaying Sea today. The Star-Picking Sword Pavilion was universally recognized as the strongest, with the Divine Splitting Sword Pavilion ranked second.

The once-illustrious Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect was ranked third, and that was only taking its past glory into account.

Some people even believed it no longer deserved to be ranked alongside the other two sects.

This was because the Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect had, in reality, lost a great number of its resource points and could basically be described as destitute.

Otherwise, Ling Tianyi wouldn’t be scheming up all sorts of ways to make money, and his sect elders wouldn’t turn a blind eye after hearing about it.

’So cultivators from the Star-Picking Sword Pavilion are here too.’

Xiao Chen watched their departing figures, his gaze falling on the swords at their waists.

Although they were hidden in their Sword Scabbards, if one looked closely, one could still faintly sense a sharp aura emanating from them. They were undoubtedly first-rate Spirit Swords.
