Chapter 1805  One-Of-A-Kind Material

Once the customer left, Xi Meili asked, "Should we really be selling this material when we don't know its worth?"

Feng Yuxiang showed a cunning smile after hearing this question before responding, "Of course not. This is just there to attract customers. That said, if the offer is enticing enough, I will consider selling it for real."

"That's… genius!" Xi Meili couldn't help but look at Feng Yuxiang in a new light.

A few hours later, the customer returned with several experts, most of them being blacksmiths.

"Heavens! What a mythical material! I have never seen anything like this before!"

"I can sense a very chaotic but powerful energy residing within the material! This can easily become the core material of a Celestial-grade treasure!" "Madam, may we hold the material and inspect it in more detail?" one of the blacksmiths asked.

Feng Yuxiang shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, but by the owner's orders, I am not allowed to do so."

"Then, can you tell us the identity of the owner? We'd like to speak with him!"

"The owner of the material wanted me to sell it for them for a reason. They do not wish for their identity to be disclosed."

The blacksmiths quickly gave up after hearing this, and they began debating about their offer for the material.

"As the core material for a Celestial-grade treasure, this material is worth at least a billion spirit stones. Its rarity as a one-of-a-kind material increases its value. However, since its properties are unknown, it's extremely hard to put a price on it." "Moreover, we cannot examine the treasure, so we won't know its true value until we get our hands on it. This is basically one huge gamble."

After pondering for many minutes, the customer eventually gave Feng Yuxiang an offer, "I'd like to offer three billion spirit stones."

Feng Yuxiang nodded and proceeded to place a sign above the display case that read, "Current offer—3 billion spirit stones."

"If someone outbids you, I will change the price. If nobody outbids you in a month, I will contact the owner to see if he'd like to take your offer."

The customer nodded, "I'll come back every few days to check on the offer."

The customer left shortly after, but the blacksmiths lingered in the store to examine the material a little longer.

Soon, news of a one-of-a-kind material being sold spread throughout the city before quickly spreading to the rest of the Sixth Heaven.

Blacksmiths and collectors swiftly gathered at Feng Yuxiang's store when they heard about it.

"Wow! What a beautiful and mysterious treasure! I cannot imagine what kind of environment could breed this kind of material!"

"I really want to touch it…"

Dozens of people crowded around the display case, their eyes sparkling with excitement, much like kids at an amusement park. Meanwhile, the highest offer for the material had reached an eye-watering 7 billion spirit stones.

Eventually, people from the upper heavens started showing up at the store.

"I am from the Sacred Furnace, and I would like to speak with the owner of this material!" A middle-aged man approached Feng Yuxiang and spoke in a demanding tone.

"The owner does not wish to have their identity disclosed," Feng Yuxiang declined for the 10th time that day.

"Do you know who we—the Sacred Furnace—are?!" The middle-aged man did not give up.

"I don't know, nor do I care who you are. I have a reputation to uphold, and I am not going to destroy it for you." Feng Yuxiang calmly responded.

"I am from the upper heavens! You're just a mere store manager!"

Feng Yuxiang sneered in disdain, "So what if you're from the upper heavens? Do you think you can get whatever you want if you come from there? I also happen to be from the upper heavens, and I demand you leave my store before I have someone escort you out."

The middle-aged man trembled in anger, his face flushed with embarrassment after being called out.

"You think you can force me to leave? Let me see who dares to escort me out!" The man released some pressure from his cultivation.

However, that pressure was quickly canceled out by someone else.

"I see the Sacred Furnace is being as unsightly as usual," another voice resounded.

"Which bastard dares to mock us?!"

The middle-aged man turned around to see an old man approaching him.

"Y-you're from the Steel Sovereigns!" The middle-aged man's eyes widened after recognizing the old man's uniform.

The Steel Sovereigns was a top faction created in the Ninth Heaven with many Divine Blacksmiths amongst their ranks. In terms of reputation and prestige, they were above the Sacred Furnace.

"How can you call yourself a blacksmith when you act so rudely before such a divine material? Get out of here before I drag you out myself," the old man continued with a cold expression.

The man from Divine Furnace knew he couldn't offend the old man, so he could only swallow this humiliation and leave the store.

Once peace returned to the store, the old man acted as if nothing had happened and approached the display case with the material, his eyes filled with awe and interest.

"Only seven billion spirit stones? What a joke! Inexperienced brats!" the old man scoffed, his voice booming with confidence. "Fifty billion—I will offer fifty billion for this material!"

Gasps rippled through the crowd, their astonishment palpable at the staggering leap in price.

Yet, Feng Yuxiang remained unfazed by the offer. With a serene smile, she quietly removed the old sign and replaced it with the updated offer.

The old man lingered in the store for a few more minutes, his gaze fixed on the material as though memorizing its every detail before finally departing.

In the days that followed, similar scenes unfolded repeatedly. One by one, the treasures Yuan had entrusted to Feng Yuxiang found eager buyers until only a handful of the priciest items and the one-of-a-kind material remained.
