It was no wonder that Lord Wei would suddenly turn so serious.
The number of rank 5 and rank 6 medicinal herbs that Shun Long had taken out just now had already exceeded what even the 'Myriad pills pavilion' had in reserve.
Although many of them were the same type of herbs, Lord Wei was certain that if Shun Long wanted to open his own shop in the Northern Sovereign's city, just these medicinal herbs alone would be enough to make his shop a peak second-rate power in the city.
If a few star-rank alchemists decided to join, they would definitely make that shop a first-rate power, and perhaps in a few hundred years, that shop could even rival the 'Myriad pills pavilion' as well.
Naturally, the 'Myriad pills pavilion' wouldn't ignore the existence of an emerging shop that could threaten their own business. Dealing with the alchemists from the 'Northern Sovereign's estate' and the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' was more than enough.
Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at the white-robed old man in front of him and continued
''Senior should understand that every single one of my medicinal herbs is more than 10.000 years old. As an alchemist, I am sure that you understand their value as well.''
Lord Wei nodded his head calmly without saying anything else, as he sent out his soul sense and started to seriously inspect the piled-up medicinal herbs around him.
Lord Wei understood that Shun Long was indeed intending to sell these medicinal herbs to him, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken them out in the first place.
At the same time, Lord Wei also understood that Shun Long wasn't lying about the maturity of these medicinal herbs, but he still decided to seriously check every single one of them.
After all, experienced alchemists could easily identify how old a medicinal herb was, simply by checking the amount of medicinal essence inside it.
The purer and more concentrated the medicinal essence inside a herb was, the more valuable the medicinal herb would then be.
After staying silent for a couple of minutes, Lord Wei opened his eyes and looked at Shun Long, before he said seriously
''412 rank 5 along with 536 rank 6 medicinal herbs, all of which are more than 10.000 years old. Although most of them aren't rare herbs, their maturity age is old enough to concoct high-grade rank 5 and rank 6 pills. Our 'Myriad pills pavilion' is thus willing to buy them for 150 million middle-grade spirit stones.''
As he finished speaking, Lord Wei took out a white-colored spatial ring and tossed it to Shun Long who caught it a moment later.
Inside this spatial ring were indeed 150 million middle-grade spirit stones. This was a sizeable amount of spirit stones even for a large sect in the northern part of the central region like the Holy sect, but for a first-rate power like the 'Myriad pills pavilion', it wasn't actually that much.
After a moment of thinking, Shun Long accepted the spatial ring, causing a smile to break out on Lord Wei's face.
Shun Long knew that if the 'Myriad pills pavilion' sold all of his medicinal herbs, they could easily sell them for 250 million middle-grade spirit stones, making a profit of more than 100 million middle-grade spirit stones in the process, but it would definitely take a couple of months for them to sell everything.
Although a couple of months was nothing to a large superpower like the 'Myriad pills pavilion', Shun Long knew that he didn't have the luxury to open a shop and wait until he sold all of his medicinal herbs, since, in less than half a year, the City of Immortals would most likely open.
By then, he had to increase his strength as much as possible, since an early rank 1 Dao King would be nothing but cannon-fodder within the City of Immortals, where the most powerful Dao Kings of the entire central region would gather!
Besides, Shun Long knew that it was very likely that other powers would try to create trouble for him if he truly chose to open a shop within the 'Northern Sovereign's city'.
Thus, selling everything to the 'Myriad pills pavilion' and letting them handle things themselves was definitely a much better choice.
Seeing the 150.000 high-grade spirit stones inside the spatial ring, Shun Long's lips curved up into a smile, before he placed everything inside the 'Stone of Time'.
This was an astonishing amount of wealth that would make even Dao Emperors salivate. After all, even a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor like the Grand Elder only had 200.000 high-grade spirit stones in his possession.
''Kid, since you have already done business with my 'Myriad pills pavilion', I will tell you one piece of information for free. Your actions earlier attracted the attention of a few peak Dao Kings on my third floor, and it's certain that they will go after you once you leave the pavilion.
However, as long as you are willing to pay this old man 10 million middle-grade spirit stones, I can naturally take care of them for you. Hehe, what do you think?''
Lord Wei's eyes lit up as he looked at Shun Long with a smile.
In his eyes, since Shun Long and the others didn't have an expert backing them, they would face quite a bit of trouble if they wanted to leave the 'Myriad pills pavilion' under the noses of those greedy Dao Kings.
But to a peak rank 6 Dao Emperor like Lord Wei, it would be a piece of cake to deal with those people.
Dealing with a bunch of ants for 10 million middle-grade spirit stones... how could Lord Wei pass this chance?
Contrary to Lord Wei's expectations, Shun Long simply smiled and waved his hand as he said
''Thank you senior, but there is no need for that.''
Without saying anything else, Shun Long turned around and led Liu Mei and the others out of the private room, under Lord Wei's stunned eyes.
