Chapter 757: Chapter 464: 1320 Primordial Pills! [3rd Update, Request for Monthly Tickets!]

"No, I’m not coming out!"

"I’m doing just fine in here."

The Monkey King avatar of Wang Zhengyi shook his head vigorously and then hurriedly said, "I can’t chat with you for long. The ’Ten Dragon Pond’ changes with every second, and from now on until I come out, the majority of my energy must be focused there. Old Yan, how my Alligator Beast avatar exits the ’Ten Dragon Pond’ depends entirely on you! When you have the ability, you must find an Array Master to break the formation and rescue me out!"

Wang Zhengyi entrusted Yan Chuan, and soon the ’Monkey King Avatar’ closed its eyes, while Wang Zhengyi’s primary consciousness returned to Nanyue Lake, back to the Ten Dragon Pond, returning to the Alligator Beast avatar.

"Array Master—" Yan Chuan shook his head.

Let alone the fact that he can’t find an Array Master now, even if he could, he couldn’t afford to hire one, and even if he could—

"Nanyue Lake is blocked by the Fu Family, and behind the Fu Family stands the War God. Array Masters are not lacking Primordial Pills, so why would they take the risk of angering the War God for such trivial external possessions?" Yan Chuan understood that Wang Zhengyi’s ’Alligator Beast avatar’ had little chance of getting out any time soon.

That’s fine.

Wang Zhengyi got the ’Fire Bud Crystal’, and he needs to cultivate and refine it anyway. Where is not important.

Ten Dragon Pond!

Perfect!

"For now, don’t worry about him."

"But I can’t completely ignore it either."

Yan Chuan might not be able to bring an Array Master, and an Array Master might not dare to offend the Fu Family, but that doesn’t mean the Fu Family can’t bring an Array Master!

If the Fu Family is determined to eliminate all future troubles, insisting on hiring an Array Master to enter the ’Ten Dragon Pond’ to hunt down Yan Chuan and ensure death, then Wang Zhengyi’s ’Alligator Beast avatar’ inside would be in danger.

"I can’t let the Fu Family be too comfortable."

The Fire Bud Crystal in Nanyue Lake is already exposed, and the Fu Family’s blockade, layer by layer, searching every corner, finding the ’Moth Vine’ is just a matter of time.

Fu Family lock.

Fu Family occupation.

Does Yan Chuan still hope to gain more benefits alone? Thinking about the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ in ten years?

Forget it.

Since that’s the case—

"I might as well expose it!"

...

"Blood Shadow Temple." Situ Fei looked up and saw beside the street—

A grand hall stood up!

Large red lanterns hung high!

On the plaque at the entrance were two large characters—

"Blood Shadow Temple!"

Unlike other bustling shops in Golden Talisman City with customers coming and going, ’Blood Shadow Temple’ was quite deserted, hidden about ten paces behind the street, occupying the space of seven to eight ordinary storefronts to form a large hall.

As soon as Situ Fei stepped in, someone came to receive him—

"I am Mo Yuan, the Iron Token host at Blood Shadow Temple. Is this your first time here, sir?" Mo Yuan approached, a supervisor behind him transmitted a voice, ’Blood Shadow Temple · Blood Shadow Treasure’ appraising, the visitor was an Innate First Layer, an Innate Divine General!

"I have intelligence to sell." Situ Fei said calmly.

’Blood Shadow Temple’ has a business in intelligence trading, whether it’s about people, forces, treasures, or events, Blood Shadow Temple almost always has records. Even if they don’t, as long as clients can pay a corresponding price, Blood Shadow Temple will send people to meticulously investigate.

But gathering intelligence is not easy!

Even in just the Hunxi region, countless events occur daily, and Blood Shadow Temple is not omniscient or omnipotent, often having intelligence they do not possess.

Though Blood Shadow Temple has many experts and excels in intelligence gathering, achieving omniscience is still unlikely.

Therefore, Blood Shadow Temple not only sells intelligence but also buys it from everyone. As long as it’s explosive enough, detailed enough, and exclusive enough, Blood Shadow Temple would often pay a high price.

’Intelligence business’ is one of the cornerstones of Blood Shadow Temple, and in this area, they never play tricks nor stingy, holding a very high reputation.

Of course, considering the scale of Blood Shadow Temple, any intelligence purchased even at a penny will at least sell at ten, ensuring they never lose out.

"May I ask, sir, what kind of intelligence are you offering? I can find the appropriate person to connect with you." Mo Yuan inquired.

"About the Fu Family’s movements at Nanyue Lake." Situ Fei replied indifferently.

"Fu Family! Nanyue Lake!" Mo Yuan was shocked. This was one of the biggest news in the Hunxi Territory, something many are curious about, but unfortunately, Blood Shadow Temple has difficulty infiltrating Nanyue Lake and has not yet acquired key intelligence.

The person in front of him seemed unfamiliar—

"Please wait a moment, sir! I will immediately invite the Great Deacon over!" Mo Yuan regarded him seriously.

...

"’Blood Shadow Temple’ is willing to pay 20 Primordial Pills to buy this ’Fire Bud Crystal’." After Situ Fei sold the intelligence to ’Blood Shadow Temple’ with the ’Fire Bud Crystal’, he discreetly rendezvoused with Yan Chuan through ’North Mansion’ and then returned to ’Divine General’s Courtyard.’

Fortunately, Blood Shadow Temple didn’t resort to tracking. After all, if one goes to sell intelligence and ends up being followed, such news could damage their reputation.

Even if it’s an assassin organization, even if they run assassination businesses, the importance of reputation and fame is not low.

The Blood Shadow Temple would rather purchase Situ Fei’s ’Fire Bud Crystal’ for 20 Primordial Pills than do anything that would damage its reputation, especially since the one who founded the temple and set the rules was the supreme ’Beast King’!

No one dares to break these rules!

However—

"20 Primordial Pills?" Yan Chuan shook his head, "Wishful thinking!"

The ’Fire Bud Crystal’ is extremely precious, collecting 211 pieces can allow a newly-advanced Divine General to forge a Sixth Rank Physique, worth a fortune.

And the income of a First Rank Divine General, based on ’Refining Primordial Pill’ alone, can earn about 0.3 Primordial Pills a month, totaling 3.6 Primordial Pills a year, which is already considered mid to high income among First Rank Divine Generals, as the average yearly income for most is around 1-2 Primordial Pills.

Now—

Twenty Primordial Pills!

The ten-year income of an ordinary First Rank Divine General!

Based on the value of a single Fire Bud Crystal, it’s not actually low, even excessively overvalued, as one single Fire Bud Crystal can only give a Basic Innate a First Layer physique, a mere token improvement with average value.

But the uniqueness of the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ is that the more of them there are, the greater their value.

A single ’Fire Bud Crystal’, Blood Shadow Temple can only offer 20 Primordial Pills, but if more—

"For 10 pieces, they are willing to pay a unit price of 22 Primordial Pills."

"For 100 pieces, they are willing to pay a unit price of 25 Primordial Pills."

"For 200 pieces, they are willing to pay a unit price of 30 Primordial Pills."

"For 211 pieces, they are willing to pay a unit price of 40 Primordial Pills."

Situ Fei, usually calm and unaffected by trivialities, was still taken aback by Blood Shadow Temple’s offer.

Recently, when she joined forces with ’Wuzhiqi’ and Yan Chuan, Chen Ze to kill the Innate Ten-Realm Nursery Carp Beast King, she personally witnessed Yan Chuan searching through the Nursery Carp Beast King’s corpse, finding at least five to six ’Fire Bud Crystals’. She didn’t know what they were at the time, and now she finally understood—

"60 Fire Bud Crystals, at least 1320 Primordial Pills!"

Thirteen hundred and twenty million pounds of Essence Stone!

Simply astronomical!

But she didn’t know—

"I have 211."

"Old Wang has 193."

"Junior brother has 136."

"Lu Yuru has 3 pieces."

"Plus, this time, we snatched 62 more from the Nursery Carp."

"Total—"

pieces!

Value surely exceeds a billion!

This is a truly astronomical number!

...

"Old Wang has 18 pieces, just to round off 211."

"Situ Fei contributed, but the real contributor was ’Wuzhiqi’, Ding Xiang could have beaten it too, so there’s no need to split for her."

"The remaining 44 pieces belong to junior brother."

Yan Chuan quickly divided the new batch of 62 ’Fire Bud Crystals’, ensuring everyone got a share. Chen Ze received the most as both Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi had already rounded off to 211, having no further use for more ’Fire Bud Crystals’ other than selling them. Only Chen Ze even adding the 44 newly divided ’Fire Bud Crystals’, had only 180 pieces, still short of 211, needing more.

"If necessary, just spend heavily at each Trading House to purchase them."

"Travel through the Fifteen States of Great Yan, and across the entire Mo Yin Continent, as long as there are enough Primordial Pills, it should be possible to buy them."

Chen Ze is only 31 ’Fire Bud Crystals’ short of completion, too precious not to pursue further. But the purchase difficulty is high, as only the ’Blood Shadow Temple’ and similar forces are known to buy ’Fire Bud Crystals’, rarely seen being sold externally by any power, even the ’Feiyu Trading Company,’ nor ’Wanshan Trading Company’ has ever been seen doing so.

It shows how hard it is to acquire them through purchase.

Actually, the best would be to gather them in Nanyue Lake.

But unfortunately, that hope is dashed too.

"Blood Shadow Temple spent 13 Primordial Pills to buy intelligence on the Fu Family, Nanyue Lake, Fire Bud Crystal, Moth Vine, now, let the winds rise."

"Four Families and Three Sects!"

"And also a ’Beast King City’!"

"This is the structure of Hunxi."

"The Fu Family wanting to monopolize Nanyue Lake, and enjoy the Moth Vine alone?"

"Fool’s talk!"

Yan Chuan cannot obtain more Fire Bud Crystals, he might as well sit and watch the tigers fight—

Nanyue Lake!

Fire Bud Crystal!

Moth Vine!

It doesn’t concern him anymore.

"I will immerse myself in cultivation!"

...

Though perhaps this all could have no more relationship with Yan Chuan, he would not completely abandon it, still paying attention, but most energy is now focused on cultivation.

Yan Chuan is very busy—

’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’!

’Innate Realm Ladder Battle’!

’Guangming City Martial Arts Competition’!

’Divine General’s Separate Courtyard Cultivation’!

Yan Chuan is very busy!

Busy beyond compare!

Originally, Yan Chuan had another task, to make friends with Innate Divine Generals in Golden Talisman City for Mutual Teaching and Learning, to allow himself to grow faster, and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Divine Generals in Golden Talisman City as well as across the entire Hunxi Territory.

But ever since the news spread of the Fu Family discovering the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ and ’Moth Vine’ at Nanyue Lake, not only did the Four Families and Three Sects begin contending, but numerous Divine Generals throughout Golden Talisman City and even throughout the entire Hunxi Territory moved in response—

Moth Vine!

It’s impossible to occupy!

However, the ’Fire Bud Crystals’, which have flowed outside and scattered in Nanyue Lake, could be found by anyone during the chaos.

A single Fire Bud Crystal!

At least 20 Primordial Pills!

This alone matches a ten-year income of a First Rank Divine General, who wouldn’t be tempted?

And so they moved with the news.

And so they gathered at Nanyue.

Golden Talisman City became visibly desolate, even if Yan Chuan wanted to make friends, there was hardly anyone to befriend, most were not present, and those present had no interest.

Well then.

Yan Chuan poured more energy into cultivation.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the time when all of Hunxi Territory, including Golden Talisman City, were occupied by news and topics about the Fu Family, Nanyue Lake, Moth Vine, and Fire Bud Crystals, Yan Chuan altered his appearance and began sweeping purchases in the raw stone markets across Golden Talisman City—

Second-Rank raw stone!

Third-Rank raw stone!

Yan Chuan was both resolving raw stones on-site to liquidate funds and using these funds to purchase Second and Third Rank raw stones, each yielding profit upon opening.
