Chapter 724: Possessions
Qi Xuansu made another visit to Tianji Hall. Concerned that the site might have hidden formations, he had the invisible Lin Yuanmiao wait outside.
As for how they communicated, Qi Xuansu discovered that after swearing the Inner-Demon Oath, so long as they were close enough, they could speak via the mind-voice, eliminating the need for him to keep checking in on Lin Yuanmiao.
Upon entering the hall, the receptionist recognized Qi Xuansu immediately. While one attendant went to notify a superior, another offered him tea.
In the past, Qi Xuansu certainly would not have received such courteous treatment.
The superintendent of Tianji Hall was also a fourth-rank Jijiu Daoist master. He came from the inner hall and exchanged some pleasantries with Qi Xuansu before asking the purpose of his visit.
Qi Xuansu said, “To be frank, I’d like to purchase some Grade-A Dragon Eye Bullets.”
The hall master’s expression shifted slightly. “If it’s for artillery use, we would need to consult the main office in Jade Capital.”
Qi Xuansu made no attempt to hide the truth. He took out his Dragon Painting Pistol and said, “It’s not for artillery. This is the latest development from Jianxiu Mountain. The earlier Divine Dragon Pistol could withstand up to Grade-A Series Nine Dragon Eye Bullets, but this one surpasses it. It can handle Grade-A Series Seven Dragon Eye Bullets.”
While some other halls might be unfamiliar with Jianxiu Mountain, the superintendent of Tianji Hall certainly knew of it. He straightened up and said with respect. “Ah, so it’s a product of Jianxiu Mountain. No wonder.”
He paused. “Daoist Qi, do you wish to purchase the Grade-A Series Seven, Eight, and Nine Dragon Eye Bullets?”
Qi Xuansu nodded. “Exactly. What are the prices like?”
