Chapter 861: The Mysterious Woman

“What? You’ve found another material?” Jian Chen rejoiced, immediately speeding up his footsteps as he walked forward.

Travelling ten kilometers, Jian Chen arrived before a grand castle. He already knew that the material for the Azulet swords was inside this castle from Zi Ying.

“The Jass Auction!” Staring at the grand words on the castle, Jian Chen realized that the materials for the Azulet swords would likely be sold off in the form of an auction.

Every material for the Azulet swords was extremely rare and unique. It would be very hard to destroy them. Other than the materials with some particular, miscellaneous uses, the others were not object that could be used by people of this world. However, due to their rarity and unique characteristics, they possessed a certain price and were collected as treasures by many wealthy people.

“Master, this is the holy water of the spirit sea. It is a liquid that only forms in a spirit sea after countless years and possesses wondrous effects. When people below Saint King consume it, not only will it greatly increase their strength, it also has the effect of refining their soul,” sounded Zi Ying’s voice. He provided a detailed explanation of the uses of the holy water.

“Zi Ying, why do I feel like this holy water is something for increasing strength and not for forging items?” Jian Chen asked curiously.

“Master, you may not know that the holy water is filled with natural world essence. When you forge the swords, the quality will be greatly increased if you add in the holy water. It can even raise the quality of the Azulet swords directly from a low quality immortal artifact to peak quality.” explained Zi Ying.

Jian Chen reached an understanding and thought, “This holy water is actually even useful for Saint Rulers. There must be a lot of people fighting over for it. I need to get my hands on some of this place’s currency. Anyway, I can’t let anyone else win the holy water. If someone else ingests it, wouldn’t that mean I missed an opportunity to obtain it?”

Although Jian Chen had large quantities of purple coins, they were worth nothing to the Sea race. They were completely useless here.

“Jian Chen, what’re you standing there blankly for?” Nubis could not help but ask out of curiosity as he saw Jian Chen standing there blankly.

Jian Chen looked towards the auction center. “There’s something I need in there. I need to find a way to get some crystal coins.”

“That won’t be easy. You might as well head into the wilderness and rob some people,” Nubis said boldly.

With that, Jian Chen broke into laughter. “Nubis, so much for being a great snake emperor. You actually want to go do those things as an impressive Class 7 Magical Beast.”

Nubis scratched his head and chuckled. “Isn’t it just the strong eating the weak? That’s the principle for survival in this world. There’s nothing embarrassing about it, though to rob others just for some crystal coins is indeed rather embarrassing with our status. Whatever, Jian Chen, let me hear your suggestion. Do you have any method to make money?”

After a period of thought, Jian Chen said, “There’s still half a month’s time before the auction begins. We have time. Let’s first settle down in an inn and think of a way to make crystal coins. If push really comes to shove, I can only auction off some of the valuable heavenly resources in my Space Ring.” Jian Chen really did not want to sell off the things in his Space Ring unless he had to. This was because probably only the ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources and stalks of Dragon’s Saliva would be accepted by the Sea race out of all his valuable possessions. Just selling them would be rather regretful.

As for monster cores, they were not as effective to the Sea race compared to humans. They were not worth much and the energy in many of his high class monster cores had solidified and leaked away, so they were worth even less.

At that very moment, a conversation from some passersby attracted Jian Chen’s attention.

“The Dare tribe really has screwed up this time. They actually offended the Menghuang tribe. The Menghuang tribe’s well-renowned in this area within a radius of a hundred thousand kilometers. Apparently, they have three 13th Star Seasoul Warriors with them.”

“Three Seasoul Warriors who have reached the 13th Star is enough to make a clean sweep of all organizations in this area. They’re invincible and I heard one of the former patriarchs is still alive. He’s reached the 14th Star long ago and is one of the peak experts in this region.”

“I also heard that the former patriarch has a pretty good relationship with an emissary from the Serpent God Hall. Many of the other large tribes to not dare to offend him.”

“The Dare tribe only has one person who has reached the 13th Star. I want to see how they repel the attacks from the Menghuang tribe.”

“I heard that there’s a spiritual vein that’s rich with crystal coins in the territory of the Dare tribe. They mine a lot of crystal coins from it and it has made several tribes in the surrounding region green with envy. The Menghuang tribe seems to have their eyes on this spiritual vein in the Dare tribe’s control and want to take it.”

“Looks like this vein of crystal coins is fated to end up with the Menghuang tribe.”

“That might not be the case. I heard that the Dare tribe is offering great prices everywhere to recruit powerful people. They plan to have a battle to the death with the Menghuang tribe.”

“Becoming enemies with the Menghuang tribe is not a smart choice. I don’t think there’s anyone who’ll take up the offer.”

…

Hearing this, Jian Chen immediately began to ponder while his eyes constantly flickered with light.
