I Am Overlord

Chapter 1412: How Rich



Chapter 1412: How Rich

The Saintly Forest Courtyard contained numerous ancient trees. The trees were so old that many of their barks had dropped off. Dried leaves fluttered about, covering the pavement in yellow, painting a bleak yet picturesque scene. The courtyard had thick spiritual energy, covering the place in a thick mist that only those at the Saint Realm and above could see through.

Upon sensing the pure energy in the air, Xiang Shaoyun gasped inwardly, What a fine place.

As he scanned the place, he saw that at the center of the courtyard was an empty ground. Countless dazzling treasures could be seen there, and a decent number of people were walking around as well. These were obviously the people here to trade for saint-grade objects.

Xiang Shaoyun slowly walked over. With his sharp senses, he could sense the energy around him changing, giving him a sensation that he was entering a different space. Before long, he had arrived in an independent space that was cut off from the rest of the world.

"Spatial manipulation?" muttered Xiang Shaoyun.

Upon entering a different space, Xiang Shaoyun found that the distance between him and the trading area had increased considerably. Thus, he had to increase his speed. With his current speed, even if he wasn\'t faster than a Great Saint, he was definitely far faster than a top-tier Saint. It did not take him long to reach the trading area.

A regular Saint would probably take about an hour or more. The Saintly Forest Courtyard might not look big from the outside, but upon arriving here, one would find that it was more than 10 times bigger than the city. This was the benefit of utilizing spatial manipulation.

About 30 people were walking about at the trading area. None of them looked young. Some looked ancient, while some looked to be middle-aged. There were also a few that maintained a youthful complexion. Every single person radiated the aura of a Saint.

These were people that would occupy a high position and enjoy high status wherever they went. After all, Saints were extremely rare. Xiang Shaoyun\'s arrival did not attract much attention. Most of them were fully focused on the numerous saint-grade herbs on display.

Upon arriving at the trading area, Xiang Shaoyun was stunned by what he saw. He had never imagined that the saint-grade herbs that were being traded at the trading area weren\'t harvested herbs. Rather, these herbs were actually planted in the trading area, free for all to choose. The herbs were irrigated by spring water, creating an area so rich in spiritual energy that anyone who stepped into the farm would be flooded with a sense of comfort.

"How rich," Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in admiration.

In the herb farm were over 100 saint-grade plants. These plants differed in quality, but each plant would cost one a considerable sum to purchase. From how the Saintly Forest Courtyard was openly showing the farm to the public without being worried that the farm would be robbed, one could see how powerful the courtyard was.

"Low-tier saint-grade herb, purpleflame vine, capable of enhancing one\'s flame cultivation, also capable of helping one form a purpleflame that will enhance one\'s combat prowess. This plant is worth 2,000 low-grade saint crystals."

"Low-tier saint-grade herb, life return grass, capable of rapidly healing a damaged saint body and increasing one\'s life force. This plant is worth 2,000 low-grade saint crystals."

"Mid-tier saint-grade herb, windbreak grass, capable of enhancing one\'s wind cultivation, also capable of granting one the Windbreak Blade technique and enhancing one\'s affinity with the wind element. This plant is worth 2,000 mid-grade saint crystals."

"Mid-tier saint-grade herb, goldriver flower, capable of greatly increasing the gold energy within a cultivator, also capable of greatly enhancing one\'s gold element attacks. This plant is worth 2,500 mid-grade saint crystals."

...

Xiang Shaoyun\'s eyes were burning with desire as he looked at all the herbs. It was unfortunate that he had lost his astral cultivation. Otherwise, these plants were definitely worth buying.

He was quite a wealthy man currently. After killing so many Saints, he had plundered a considerable amount of wealth even though he hadn\'t been able to plunder many of his opponents. It was worth noting that just from Lei Wuqing, Hua Ruren, and Madam Yu Huan, he had plundered a massive number of saint crystals.

He did not think that he was the richest present, but he was rich enough to purchase at least 10 mid-tier saint-grade herbs. After giving it some thought, he decided to purchase some saint-grade herbs. Although he had no use for them right now, that did not mean that those around him wouldn\'t need these herbs.

After surveying the farm, his gaze landed on a certain translucent flower. The flower stood loftily, akin to the king of flowers. It was incomparably majestic, an incomparably rare nine-petal glaze flower.

The nine-petal glaze flower was among the best mid-tier saint-grade herbs in existence. Its medicinal effect was as powerful as regular high-tier saint-grade herbs. Each of its nine petals shone with multiple colors, and each petal was capable of greatly enhancing the strength of a Sovereign. If one was to consume all nine petals at the same time, one would be able to become a Saint straight away. Even a Saint would further advance upon consuming nine petals. This plant was worth 5,000 mid-grade saint crystals.

Looking at the old man seated cross-legged in the farm, Xiang Shaoyun said, "I wish to purchase the nine-petal glaze flower."

The old man had his eyes shut. His long hair draped over his shoulders, and he was clad in a robe filled with creases, looking completely unremarkable. No energy undulation could be sensed from his body. It was obvious he was an expert good at hiding his strength. He wouldn\'t have been assigned to guard the herb farm otherwise.

The old man remained silent while the person beside him spoke, "Brother Xiang, would you consider accepting this nine-petal glaze flower as a gift from this prince?"

Xiang Shaoyun looked over in astonishment and saw a young man in his twenties. With a folding fan in hand, the young man had a genial smile on his face. The handsome young man had a jade crown on his head and was clad in a purplish gold robe. It was obvious the young man was someone of considerable wealth and status. Following behind him were three impressive-looking individuals. All of them were Saints, with one of them radiating an aura that even Xiang Shaoyun was fearful of.

Xiang Shaoyun asked, "Who are you, if I may ask?"

He was sure he had never seen this young man before. But for some reason, the young man gave him a familiar feeling.

"Huang Gaojin greets you, Brother Xiang," said the young man in a refined and courteous manner.

"So it\'s the second prince. Excuse my lack of manners," said Xiang Shaoyun as he returned the greeting.

The young man before him was one of the two princes with the highest chance of inheriting the throne, Huang Gaojin. He was Huang Tianji\'s brother who was born of the same father but a different mother. That was why he looked familiar to Xiang Shaoyun. His facial features shared some semblance with Huang Tianji. There was even the same majestic bearing about him.

Xiang Shaoyun could see that this second prince was definitely no older than 50 years old. For a person of this age to reach the second-stage Heaven Battling Realm, he was definitely a talented cultivator. It was no wonder he was one of the favorite candidates to inherit the throne. However, Xiang Shaoyun couldn\'t understand why this prince was gifting him a saint-grade herb. After all, he had just offended the imperial guard not too long ago.
