Chapter 167: The Guild Master's Privilege

  "Zhuang Lao, this old lover of yours, what kind of person is she? The feeling she gives me is very strong." Lin Feng asked softly after a long silence.

  "Xinlan is indeed very strong, extremely strong." Zhuang Lao said in a low voice, "Her strength is on par with mine back then. Destroying a sect like Luoyun Sect would be effortless for her, and she also has an extremely powerful force backing her!"

  "So strong." Lin Feng was also slightly shocked in his heart.

  Destroying the Luoyun Sect without even using a bit of effort, such strength is indeed terrifying.

  "So what should I do now if Xue Xinlan asks about you again?" Lin Feng asked softly after a long while, exhaling gently.

  This matter always needs a solution.

  "It doesn't matter, just forget it ever happened and rest assured. She's just a silly girl, since she has acknowledged you as my disciple, she won't do anything to harm you." said Zhuang Lao Dao.

  "Foolish men and women all end up the same, heartbreak is always inevitable. The more you put in, the more heartbreaking it is. Lin Feng, from her body, you should understand something. However, since she can't forget me, you don't have to worry that she will treat you badly. To become a strong person, one must be ruthless and not be bound by emotions. Otherwise, they are not true strong people!"

  "Heretical nonsense." Lin Feng snorted.

  …………

  Lin Feng returned to Wan Shou Town once again and directly came to the underground beast fighting arena.

  Today, I came here and felt relatively quiet. The Colosseum was still stained with blood, but there was no battle going on. Apparently, as Yegreen said, such battles are not happening every day.

  On the high platform around, there were fewer beautiful maidens in beast skin short skirts holding trays with wine cups. There were still many people discussing the beast blood trade, but without the thrilling bloody battles below, the strong ones seemed somewhat listless.

  On a high platform, a thin young man sat there, holding a cup of blood wine and drinking it listlessly. A beast-skin girl carried a tray past him, the young man casually took out several gold coins and stuffed them into the girl's snowy and plump bosom.

  "Leafy green, are you courting death?" The maid glared fiercely at the young man and turned to leave.

  "Haha, this is really boring." Ye Lü Lü smiled cheaply and turned her head to see Lin Xiang who had just come down from the stairs. Her eyes lit up and she loudly called out: "Brother Lin, I'm over here!"

  "Yè Lǜlǜ, how are you alone here? Where's Qí Míng and Mèng Qiū?" Lin Fēng smiled as he walked over and sat down beside Yè Lǜlǜ.

  "Probably still on some woman's belly, these two guys. They just came back yesterday and went out to fool around again!"

  Lin Feng was speechless, he didn't expect Qi Ming and Meng Qiu to have such a hobby.

  But thinking about it, as a member of a large family like Qi Ming's, at his age, he should already have a bunch of concubines.

  "Then why don't you go?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

  "Lin Ge, can't you see that I'm still young?" Ye Lü Lü pouted in dissatisfaction.

  "Hehe." Lin Feng also burst out laughing.

  "I came here today to buy some beast blood." Lin Feng looked around and said with a bit of disappointment, "But there aren't many people trading here today!"

  "Lin, if you want to buy beast blood, just go into these shops and buy it directly." Ye Lü Lü blinked her eyes and smiled, "The first and second level Symbol Dao equipment required beast blood can all be bought here!"

  "It's expensive in the store..." Lin Feng said with a bitter smile.

  He originally had over 5 million gold coins on him, and with the gains from this trip into the mountains, he now has over 8 million. As for that pretty good spatial ring, he didn't plan to sell it; instead, he intended to find an opportunity to give it to Ye Ling'er.

  He had been using the storage container given by Ye Ling'er, and Lin Feng also felt a bit embarrassed. However, Yu Zuo was an old residence of his, and he couldn't return it to Ye Ling'er. Giving her a ring-shaped storage container could be considered as a small compensation.

  "Others may buy it at a high price, but if I take you to buy it, it will definitely not be expensive. It's certainly cheaper than buying outside." Ye Lü Lü chuckled and said, "Let's go, follow me!"

  "Good!"

  Lin Feng nodded and followed Ye Lü'er to stand up. When they arrived at the Wan Shou Town, he realized how poor he was. It would be best if he could save some money, and he wouldn't pretend otherwise.

  Yè Lǜlǜ smiled and said: "All these shops are owned by the same person, the owner of the arena, but the beast blood is slightly different in each shop. I remember the prices of each type of beast blood in every single one of them. Lin brother, what kind of beast blood do you plan to buy first?"

  Lin Feng thought for a moment and said: "First go buy the blood of the Azure Eyed Heavenly Fox, this kind of beast blood is what I need the most!"

  "About how much?" Ye Lü asked.

  "Two hundred catties." Lin Feng replied.

  Two hundred kilograms of the blood of the Azure-Eyed Heavenly Fox can satisfy the production of one hundred sets of Formatted Dao Equipment for the Luoyun Sect. Lin Feng had already browsed through these shops and roughly estimated that his own money could barely afford to buy enough beast blood to produce one hundred sets of Xuan Armor Heavy Cavalry Formatted Equipment.

  "Come with me!"

  Behind the high platform is a corridor, the green leaves laugh and jump to the top of the platform, directly falling onto that circle of corridors.

  Lin Feng smiled wryly, in a place where strong people gathered, he didn't dare to be so presumptuous. He honestly got down from the high platform and walked around the corridor to stand in front of Ye Lü Lü.

  "Let's go!"

  Ye Lü Lü led Lin Feng into a store, and with a heavy pinch on the buttocks of a beautiful girl wearing a beast skin miniskirt, laughed and said: "Quan Quan sister, I want 200 kilograms of Biyan Tianhu's beast blood!"

  The girl named Quanquan's face turned slightly red, and she glared at Ye Lvgreen with a hint of annoyance, then nodded politely to Lin Feng before walking behind the counter.

  Qianqian bowed down and then stood up again after a moment, her small hand waved lightly, and ten exquisite jade bottles appeared on the counter.

  Lin Feng took a jade bottle and examined it carefully, the dark green blood emitted a pungent and fishy smell, with white sparks flashing inside, which was undoubtedly the blood of the Biyan Tianhu. The small bottle felt extremely heavy in his hand, twenty kilograms was enough.

  The blood of a strange beast is different from ordinary blood, containing the essence of the strange beast's energy, and the higher the rank of the strange beast, the heavier its blood.

  "How much?" Lin Feng asked.

  "One catty is 1,200 gold coins, so in total it's 240,000 gold coins." Quan Quan said, "However, since Ye Lü brought you here to buy, we can give an 80% discount, that would be 192,000 gold coins!"

  "Eighty percent off." Lin Feng looked at Ye Lü Lü in surprise, and Ye Lü Lü smiled smugly.

  Lin Feng took out a card worth one million gold coins and handed it to Quan Quan. After deducting the required amount, Quan Quan returned the card to Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng waved his hand and put away the twenty exquisite jade bottles. There were too many people with spatial containers here, so he didn't need to care about it either.

  "Off you go, Quan Quan Jie." Ye Lü Lü said with a playful smile.

  "Hmph." Quan Quan snorted and turned her face away, no longer looking at him.

  "Leafy greens, why are you here and can be discounted by 20%." Lin Feng transmitted his voice as he walked out of the store.

  For transactions involving tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of gold coins, a discount of 20% is quite significant.

  "Because I'm a second-level symbol master of the Symbol Master Guild." Ye Lvgreen transmitted with a smile.

  "You mean to say that the owner here is willing to give such a big discount because of the Symbol Master Guild!"

  Ye Lü Lü shook her head and smiled: "Such a store, the main trading object is the symbol masters of the Symbol Master Guild. However, such discounts are not given by the owner here, but rather a benefit given by the Symbol Master Guild to its internal symbol masters!"

  Lin Feng looked puzzled, Ye Lü Lü smiled and continued to explain: "Even if we sell a large amount of beast blood to the Symbol Master Guild, the price will only need to be discounted by 10%, I buy beast blood at an 8% discount here, so the remaining 1% will be compensated by the Symbol Master Guild to the owner of this place!"

  "In a place like this, the Symbol Masters' Guild has different privileges for symbol masters of different levels. If one is a third-level symbol master, the price is 70% off; if one is a fourth-level symbol master, it's 60% off; and if one is a fifth-level symbol master, it's 50% off. Of course, I don't know if there are any fifth-level symbol masters in the Symbol Masters' Guild, maybe they don't even exist!"

  "As long as the price is lower than 90% off, the difference will be periodically made up by the Symbol Master Guild. This is also the reason why these shops are willing to sell beast blood to the symbol masters of the Symbol Master Guild!"

  "Is that so." Lin Feng nodded.

  This alone is enough to demonstrate the enormous appeal of the Symbolist Association to symbolists.

  Ye Lü Lü smiled and said: "The Symbol Master Association has a lot of money, so they won't cut into the profits of these merchants at all. Lin Ge, you're already a member of the Symbol Master Association, you also have the privilege of discounted shopping here!"

  "If I were buying it myself, it should be a 10% discount!"

  "Right, if you're the one buying, then the guild won't need to make up for the price difference. But for you, it's still a pretty good deal!"

  Lin Feng nodded, indeed, the price difference of this one had completely offset the difference between buying in the store and on the high platform. Moreover, the beast blood in the store was obviously more secure. Even without Ye Lü Cheng's accompaniment, he would definitely enter these stores to buy beast blood in the future.

  The Symbol Master Guild is indeed a behemoth, on the Xuanwu Continent, there are not a few medium-sized sects with second-level symbol masters. The amount of beast blood consumed by these sects' symbol masters is also extremely large. Just making up for this difference in price, the number is probably unimaginable. Being able to do so in the long term, the Symbol Master Guild's depth can be seen at a glance.

  …………

  Lin Feng followed Ye Lü Cheng, and after a round of shopping in the various shops on the corridor, they had bought all the beast blood they needed. Although it was at an 80% discount, they still spent over five million gold coins, leaving them with only three million left.

  The remaining three million or so, Lin Feng didn't plan to spend it again, but instead planned to go and experience the so-called Symbol Master Exchange Conference. After all, it was an exchange conference, and not taking any money would be inappropriate.

  "Brother Lin, the exchange meeting will be held in three days, in the VIP room here. You must come at that time." Ye Lü Lü said with a smile as they parted ways.

  "Uh-huh, okay." Lin Feng nodded and waved at Ye Lü Lü before walking out.

  Back at the Night Crow Inn, Lin Feng closed the door and with a wave of his hand, two bottles of exotic beast blood appeared before him, along with a slightly larger empty jade bottle.

  "This is still my first time mixing the blood of a strange beast, I hope there won't be any problems." Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he said in a low voice.
