Very soon, Shao Mingfeng returned with a large pile of demon spirit stones.
After demon spirits are captured, they are often sealed inside these stones for preservation.
The neat rows of demon spirit stones on the table appeared quite magnificent!
“These few are Silver-grade Nightmare Demon Spirits, priced around sixty thousand demon spirit coins each. These few over here are Gold-grade Nightmare Demon Spirits, priced around three hundred thousand demon spirit coins each!” Shao Mingfeng explained to Nie Li as he pointed at the stones.
Demon spirits can not only be merged by demon spirit masters but can also be sealed within armor, granting the armor immense power.
Silver-grade and higher demon spirits are quite expensive, often costing tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of demon spirit coins, making them unaffordable for ordinary folks.
However, for someone like Nie Li, a wealthy individual, this was no problem at all.
“Hmm, the prices are fair. I’ll take them all!” Nie Li nodded.
Shao Mingfeng glanced at Nie Hai and Nie En, who exchanged wry smiles with each other.
Shao Mingfeng had always wanted their opinions, but he didn’t realize they had no say in this matter!
With a flick of his hand, Nie Li took out a stack of demon spirit coins from his Spatial Ring, creating a small mountain on the table. “This is the total payment, Manager Shao. Please count it!”
Nie Li was actually paying himself? Looking at the towering pile of demon spirit coins, Shao Mingfeng felt deeply shocked.
The Heavenly Mark Family was indeed impressive, enough to have a child hide away such a fortune! However, Shao Mingfeng kept his thoughts to himself; after all, he was a straightforward businessman.
As long as Nie Li could pay, there were no problems.
Nie Li swiftly tossed fifty-three demon spirit stones into his Spatial Ring.
“Please take good care of our business in the future, Heavenly Mark Family!” Shao Mingfeng’s smile deepened with humility as he put away the demon spirit coins.
This was undoubtedly the largest deal he had made since starting in the demon spirit business.
“There’s no need to be so polite, Manager Shao. We still wish to make more purchases today. You wouldn’t want to send us off so soon, would you?” Nie Li gave Shao Mingfeng a calm glance.
“Of course not! Young Master still wants to buy more demon spirits?” Shao Mingfeng asked.
Nie Li’s composed demeanor pressed upon him, making him smile bitterly inside.
Could this really be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy? He was simply extraordinary!
“Of course, the Nightmare Demon Spirits are just a part of what I need!” Nie Li replied coolly.
Shao Mingfeng was bewildered; how many demon spirits was Nie Li planning to buy? Yet being a shopkeeper, he naturally hoped for as many sales as possible!
“I also need Toxic Demon Spirits, Snowstorm Demon Spirits, and Frenzied Battle Demon Spirits… Manager Shao, please bring out your entire stock of these demon spirits!”
Entire stock again? Good heavens!
But soon enough, Shao Mingfeng hurriedly brought out all the stock of these demon spirits.
The Nightmare Demon Spirits were relatively few, but these other types had much more quantity.
Some had thousands in stock, while the least had over a thousand.
Nevertheless, they were generally priced lower than the Nightmare Demon Spirits. “A total of sixty-five million demon spirit coins!” Shao Mingfeng calculated, sweating profusely from the effort.
“Sixty-five million demon spirit coins. Please count it, Manager Shao!” Nie Li laid out six thousand five hundred demon spirit coins on the table, filling it completely.
Shao Mingfeng was stunned; this was the most money he had ever seen in his business.
The key was that it was all from a child’s Spatial Ring, which was truly astonishing.
“Manager Shao, I’ll need another batch of demon spirits in a while!” Nie Li mentioned while looking at Shao Mingfeng.
“As long as Young Master has a request, I, Shao Mingfeng, will do my utmost. Just send someone to inform me, and I will deliver all the demon spirits to the Heavenly Mark Family!” Shao Mingfeng answered respectfully.
He no longer viewed Nie Li as just a child; after all, this was his biggest client.
A single deal surpassed his several years' worth of business, and he had to take good care of Nie Li.
Otherwise, if he were to lose such a client, he wouldn't be able to handle it!
“Alright, we should go back now, Head of the Family and Elder!” Nie Li turned to Nie Hai and Nie En.
“Sure!” Nie Hai and Nie En nodded.
Initially, they planned to take Nie Li to the Red Moon Auction House to witness the grand sights, but unexpectedly, it was Nie Li who brought them to see such wonders.
Even now, their hearts were still racing.
It was no wonder they felt this way.
The entire Heavenly Mark Family’s annual income was only about one million demon spirit coins, while Nie Li had just spent over a hundred million for a pot and more than sixty million on demon spirits.
They were fortunate not to have fainted!
After bidding farewell to Shao Mingfeng, Nie Li, along with Nie Hai and Nie En, boarded a carriage back to the Heavenly Mark Family.
This trip proved fruitful for all of them.
Nie Hai and Nie En were in a hurry to gather the family members, ready to distribute the various pills they had obtained to enhance their family’s strength as much as possible.
Upon returning home, under Nie Hai's guidance, Nie Li and his family moved into a separate courtyard within the Heavenly Mark Family, just a short distance from the family master’s residence, making it the safest place in the entire Heavenly Mark Family.
Nie Li was quite satisfied with this arrangement.
He placed many pills, demon spirit coins, and other items at home for easy access by his family in case of emergencies, while he focused on his cultivation in his room.
By evening, news came from the Alchemist Association that Yang Xin had been targeted by a group of assassins who attempted to abduct her to seize the Nightmare Demon Pot, but they were all killed by her guards.
Nie Li raised an eyebrow.
In Glory City, how could someone dare to do such a thing? They must have some enormous guts.
Did the person trying to seize the Nightmare Demon Pot know its importance? Otherwise, they wouldn’t take such a risk! Such actions were likely the work of the Dark Guild.
Both the Divine Sacred Family and the Dark Guild were pressing threats that needed to be dealt with!
Though Nie Li's strength had improved rapidly, he was still only at the Silver level, which wasn’t enough!
The Shadow Demon Spirit, as a type of assassin spirit, was indeed powerful in assassination, but under normal circumstances, it was best not to use it recklessly.
The more its abilities remained concealed, the more surprising the effect would be.
If used openly and studied by many, its powers could be restrained.
Thus, Nie Li needed to merge more demon spirits.
With the Heavenly Dao Divine Technique, he could merge up to seven demon spirits.
Every time he merged a demon spirit, both his power and cultivation speed would significantly increase.
Of course, Nie Li was quite picky about demon spirits.
Having been reborn, he had no intention of merging some ordinary low-tier spirits! With the Shadow Demon Spirit already in hand, he had long planned to explore some ruins to search for unique spirits.
However, with the acquisition of the Nightmare Demon Pot, he had come up with a new idea.
To use the Nightmare Demon Pot to refine demon spirits!
