Free Web NovelChapter 2695: Chapter 2698: The Request Is Terrifying
"Speak of powerful matters after you become powerful; there’s no point in hoarding resources waiting to become strong. Turning them into what you need early on is the real task."
Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head.
"No, this can’t be auctioned; this is... currency for those at the Semi-Saint or Saint stage, similar to Spirit Stones. Spirit Stones can aid cultivators below the Saint in their training, but they are of little use to Saints,"
Pang Guang felt moved but found it amusing: "So it’s currency used below the Saint level, called Dao Source Beads, which can benefit those in the Saint realm, and are without restrictions. So they are used by those above Saint as currency."
"Ah? This is currency?"
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Running to the auction house to auction currency, this...
It’s not Jiang Chen’s fault; he’s only in the Divine Infant Realm, and has never been involved in Saint-level transactions. On the Abandoned Plains, auctions are conducted with Necro Spheres due to its uniqueness. Although he knows some powerful figures above Saints, none would specifically inform him what currency is used by those above Saint!
With an awkward smile, Jiang Chen reached for his Space Ring and stored all the Dao Source Beads inside it, the sheer quantity causing Meng Tingchuan to stare in amazement as the Dao Source Beads streamed into Jiang Chen’s Space Ring like a river.
"Mr. Jiang, how did you get so many Dao Source Beads?"
Meng Tingchuan asked curiously.
"Several Saints and Saint Monarchs once tried to attack me but were slain by Teacher Heishan, who gave me their Space Rings."
Jiang Chen responded while gathering the Dao Source Beads.
Meng Tingchuan was stunned upon hearing this, closing his mouth dejectedly. He initially thought that if it wasn’t too hard, he might try to acquire some Dao Source Beads for transactions or personal cultivation, but upon hearing this, he abandoned the thought.
After organizing the Dao Source Beads, Jiang Chen returned the Space Ring to Pang Guang.
"By the way, I almost forgot! And this!"
Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something, his brows glowed as a magnificent Great Dao Aura emerged.
Swoosh!
Meng Tingchuan’s complexion changed, quickly releasing the Great Dao Divine Light to envelop the room.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Four beams shot from Jiang Chen’s brow, hovering in front of everyone.
"Whoa! They’re all Dao Instruments?!"
"And one is a mid-grade Dao Instrument?!"
Pang Guang and the others were dumbfounded, staring incredulously at Jiang Chen, their eyes nearly popping out. freeweɓnøvel.com
As candidates for the successor of the Canghai Trade Alliance and Great Elder, they had seen Dao Instruments, but these items usable only by those above Saints were being drawn out by a cultivator in the Divine Infant Realm, leaving them utterly astonished.
"Didn’t I mention it? Those slain Saints and Saint Monarchs’ items were given to me by Teacher Heishan."
Jiang Chen said, laughing softly.
"Brother Jiang, this, this... thank you!"
Pang Guang clasped his fist towards Jiang Chen in gratitude.
Though auctioning these four Dao Instruments could certainly fetch high prices, the best use is gifting them to powerful figures above Saints, since Dao Instruments cannot be forged; at least not by anyone below the Supreme.
There aren’t many Saints on the continent, but they’re not rare; they just don’t easily become involved commonly. At least half the Saints in Canglan Continent lack Dao Instruments, and gifting them to those who don’t have one would be a massive favor!
Of course, Jiang Chen had inquired with Zhu Tianming and others; they all have their own Dao Instruments, otherwise, they wouldn’t have them available for auction.
"Jiang Chen, tell me what you wish to acquire and I’ll secure it for you first."
Pang Guang eagerly collected the Space Ring and Dao Instruments, gazing warmly at Jiang Chen.
He knows Jiang Chen doesn’t lack Spirit Stones or Dao Source Beads now, hence he wanted to inquire what Jiang Chen might want to use these items for; the favor is too great, and if he doesn’t promptly assist Jiang Chen in something, it’ll truly weigh on him.
"I..."
Jiang Chen appeared contemplative, his virtual Primordial Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness stirring slightly, softly speaking, "Yu Fei Fairy, wake up.""
"Is there a formidable enemy?"
"No."
"I’m not waking."
"Not at all..."
Jiang Chen felt a bit helpless and chuckled, "I’m now at the Canghai Trade Alliance, the largest alliance on Canglan Continent. Tell me what you need to reconstruct your body, I’ll see if they have it."
"The largest alliance? Then there might be."
Yan Yufei sat up, gazing at Jiang Chen’s virtual Primordial Spirit, softly saying: "I need Parasol Divine Tree over ten thousand years old, at least one Nether Scale from a Saint Monarch realm Dragon Clan, at least three drops of Essence Blood from a Saint Monarch realm Kylin, twelve stalks of Jiuyou Ming Grass..."
Jiang Chen’s Primordial Spirit froze, staring dumbfounded at Yan Yufei.
Jiang Chen didn’t even know some of the items she mentioned; most are merely found in scriptures or legends. Even those he could distinguish, they left him feeling a chill.
Nether Scale from a Saint Monarch realm Dragon Clan, Essence Blood from a Saint Monarch realm Kylin — am I supposed to hunt Saint Monarch realm Dragon Clan and Saint Monarch realm Kylin? Why don’t you kill me instead?
Repeat the words; even the least valuable was Eighth Grade Spiritual Herb Jiuyou Ming Grass, this...
Jiang Chen instantly felt that it might be better if Yan Yufei’s Primordial Spirit remained intact!
"That’s it; if you encounter them, help me collect them. I’m going back to sleep now!"
Yan Yufei finished speaking, disregarded Jiang Chen’s reaction, and lay back to sleep.
Jiang Chen’s consciousness returned to his body, his face marked by a wry smile.
"Brother Jiang, what’s the matter?"
Pang Guang asked, puzzled, looking at Jiang Chen.
"I remembered something; a senior needs some items. Can you help me locate them?"
Jiang Chen spoke with a bitter smile: "Parasol Divine Tree over ten thousand years old..."
Jiang Chen repeated the items Yan Yufei needed.
Pang Guang and Meng Tingchuan were left in a daze, staring stupidly at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen helplessly chuckled and said, "If it’s not available then..."
"Brother Jiang, some items are available, but I don’t have the authority to mobilize them, and these items are beyond my means to gift."
Pang Guang smiled bitterly — he initially thought to ask Jiang Chen what he desired and gift them along with the auction proceeds, but Jiang Chen’s requests were treasures, each deemed a rare artifact, and even the least valuable Jiuyou Ming Grass couldn’t be gathered in twelve stalks.
"Available? Then..."
Jiang Chen looked at Pang Guang with delight. The Ice Void Needle condensed by Yan Yufei had saved his life; although he had other means at the time, wasn’t it still saved by other means afterward?
This equaled owing Yan Yufei a life-saving favor, and now being able to assist her delighted Jiang Chen.
Pang Guang hesitated briefly and said softly, "Brother Jiang, please wait a moment."
"Alright!"
Jiang Chen nodded. He understood the requested items were exceedingly precious, and although what he provided was valuable, they were meant for auction and not directly sold to the Canghai Trade Alliance. Pang Guang couldn’t directly offer equivalent items either and needed to apply.
Pang Guang turned and left, Meng Tingchuan’s eyes darted and he followed suit.
