Chapter 360: Chapter 276: Inquiring About the Five-Colored Fire Feather

"Blood Sand?" Blood Evil was slightly surprised, "King Xie Shuo."

"Haha, you’ve always assisted me, this little thing is nothing." King of North Snow lifted the wine pot and poured wine again, "By the way, how is the Golden Silk Feather Robe?"

"..." Blood Evil paused for a moment and said, "Lacking some materials, I’ve already ordered someone to seek them from Heavenly Inquiry Tower."

"Mie River Bay, the person who stole the Golden Silk Feather Robe has not been found?" The King of North Snow’s face showed a hint of unexpectedness.

"No." Blood Evil replied in a deep voice.

"..." The King of North Snow fell into silence, his eyes became complicated, followed by a strange sigh:

"Sigh... the Golden Silk Feather Robe was just transported to the River Bay, and the River Bay was destroyed, I wonder if it’s destined that my endeavors will face great difficulty."

"If successful, I will lead the Great Qin Dynasty to a new height, if defeated..."

"King Shuo has schemed for decades, it won’t fail."

"Haha, hopefully."

"King Shuo, there’s another matter."

"Speak."

"The Yan Dynasty remnants, Yan Huan, have already fled into North Snow County. Three Yan Han Orders, the Crown Prince has one, the whereabouts of the other two are still unknown. I suspect..."

"You’re saying Yan Huan fled to my North Snow County to unlock the Yan Han Treasure?"

Blood Evil nodded slightly.

"The Yan Han Treasure might be within North Snow County."

"That possibility exists..." The King of North Snow showed a contemplative expression.

"..."

...

Fifty li south of the Qin Capital, there is a mountain range known as Three Elements Mountain.

Three Elements Mountain is not tall, it’s more of a ridge than a mountain.

This mountain doesn’t host any Martial Arts sects, nor is it a place for large families, yet there are many people visiting Three Elements Mountain, and they are all Martial Artists.

Just because Three Elements Mountain is a well-known treasure exchange site near the Qin Capital.

Shops and stalls can be seen everywhere, resembling a large trading market, with cultivation techniques, elixirs, weapons, etc., all available.

However, this scene is more frequent on the secondary peaks, the main peak of Three Elements Mountain is relatively quiet.

On the main peak, certain palace...

"You two want Yiyang Kingdom’s Ancient Golden Celestial Silk and Jingyue Kingdom’s Heaven-Soaring Phoenix Feather?" Heavenly Inquiry Tower’s steward looked somewhat suspiciously at the two below.

"What, the Heavenly Inquiry Tower, which claims to possess all the rare treasures of the world, doesn’t have these two treasures?"

The two below were both dressed in black clothes, wearing conical hats.

"Haha... You’re joking, our Heavenly Inquiry Tower indeed holds all the treasures, but not all treasures can be sold."

"What do you mean? We’re not eligible to purchase?"

The steward smiled and said nothing, tacitly agreeing.

"Humph!" One flicked out an ice-colored token, "Can this item make the Heavenly Inquiry Tower break the rule?"

The Heavenly Inquiry Tower steward took the ice-colored token and examined it, his expression changed immediately: "If it’s from that person, our Heavenly Inquiry Tower can indeed make an exception."

"However, Yiyang Kingdom’s Ancient Golden Celestial Silk and Jingyue Kingdom’s Heaven-Soaring Phoenix Feather are not in stock, I need to transport them from other countries."

"How long will it take?"

"Three days, come to collect in three days."

"Alright." The two prepared to leave.

"Please wait, according to the rules of Heavenly Inquiry Tower, transporting goods requires collateral of treasure."

"North Snow Order is not enough?" The two seemed somewhat angry.

The steward smiled and shook his head: "Indeed, it’s not enough."

"You...!" The two seemed ready to make a move.

"You may want to think twice, our Heavenly Inquiry Tower has survived until now by valuing reputation."

"Even people from the Imperial City must abide by our Heavenly Inquiry Tower’s rules."

The tone was calm, but the words fully hinted at the uniqueness of Heavenly Inquiry Tower.

"Fine, very well," one took out an ornate pouch, face dark as he threw it out, "Is this enough?"

The Heavenly Inquiry Tower steward opened the pouch, his eyes instantly brightened, then he smiled and said: "It’s certainly enough."

"Come collect in three days."

"..."

The two tossed their sleeves and left.

The steward weighed the ornate pouch in his hand, watching as the two walked out of the palace.

"King of North Snow... Yiyang Kingdom’s Ancient Golden Celestial Silk... Jingyue Kingdom’s Heaven-Soaring Phoenix Feather..."

"The Empress Dowager Duaan in the Imperial City is soon to have her grand birthday, seems like this King of North Snow wants to create a Golden Silk Feather Robe as a gift."

Thinking like this, his expression became subtle.

After a moment’s pause, this Heavenly Inquiry Tower steward also left this side palace.

When he reappeared, it was in a reception hall.

Three people were waiting in the hall.

One person wore a yellow robe, sitting grandly on a chair, with a stern-looking person standing behind.

It looked like a master and servant.

The master looked around boredly, while the servant kept eyes sharp like an eagle fixedly watching the opposite side.

Opposite them, a young man in black clothes sat, eyes half-closed, seeming to cultivate his spirit.

Suddenly, the young man in black opened his eyes, deep within his pupils an elusive light flashed.

"Blood Evil Sect... King of North Snow..."

"Yiyang Kingdom’s Ancient Golden Celestial Silk... Jingyue Kingdom’s Heaven-Soaring Phoenix Feather..."

"Golden Silk Feather Robe..."

The young man in black was Chu Ming.

Previously, everything occurring in the side palace was within the investigation of the Sword Gourd Spirit.

The two conical-hat-wearing individuals emitted Blood Evil Qi all over, clearly belonging to the Blood Evil Sect and practicing Blood Evil Technique.

They came here on behalf of the King of North Snow to search for exotic materials capable of creating a Golden Silk Feather Robe.

"Golden Silk Feather Robe..." Chu Ming thought of the half-finished Golden Silk Feather Robe he obtained from Mie Qin River Bay.

The materials used for that Golden Silk Feather Robe were numerous, over ten kinds, of which he could identify only three, the other seven were unfamiliar, including Golden Threads and feathers.

I wonder if there’s any connection between the two, or if they’re the same thing?

If that’s the case, the value of that Golden Silk Feather Robe needs to be reassessed.

"Thank you for waiting."

At this moment, the Heavenly Inquiry Tower’s steward walked in.

The yellow-robed man’s eyes immediately turned, seemingly angry, "Is this how Heavenly Inquiry Tower does business? Making people wait for an entire two hours?"

"Apologies, apologies." The steward cupped his hands in apology, "Today, for some reason, more people came to seek treasures than usual."
