Bell stealthily glanced at the surroundings, there were no abnormalities.
Yong An City was a Blood Soul City, where Onyx Souls used their blood meridians and martial spirits to set up strongholds in the spirit region, and was also one of Bell’s most active strongholds. Just spending some contribution points, would allow one the right to enter Yong An City.
A drop of Yong An Blood.
Once the Yong An Blood was injected into the body, the martial artists could arrive at Yong An City from any Star Door of a spirit region anywhere.
The Honorable Martial Group had the Honorable Martial Plate, while the Onyx Souls have the Blood Soul City, each had their merits.
Yong An City has rather good security, for it was Onyx Soul’s territory after all. However, not only were Onyx Soul’s people in the city, there were many other martial artists from other areas. For a Blood Soul City of a scale like Yong An City to be able to produce around 300 thousand drops of Yong An Blood, it meant that Yong An City can house 300 thousand people.
Reselling Yong An Blood was also a profitable thing to do, however, it was tough to do..
Bell had no interest in reselling the Yong An Blood, as she was here more to seek information. As it was the stronghold of Onyx Soul, many Onyx Soul horses would appear in Yong An City and exchange information.
Iron Horns Tavern, a pair of large iron horns, hung on the door.
The size of the tavern was shockingly massive, three thousand tables lined up in rows, and was as spectacular as some large-scale academies. The tavern was not full, but was crowded with people, scattered around, and bustled with activity. The backing of Iron Horns Tavern, was an Elder of Onyx Soul, along with experts stationed for the whole year, no one dared to create trouble here. This was the exact reason why, this was the safest place in Yong An City.
Sales of information, sales of items, business meetings, etc.; almost everything one could think of would be available here.
Bell skillfully asked for a glass of plum juice, casually found a corner and sat down. Fishing for information was a job that required patience. She had been in this job for years. The qualifications for Silver Onyx Horse this time was not easily obtained.
Suddenly, dang dang dang, rolls of gongs sounded in the tavern.
The tavern quietened down instantly, Bell continued to sip her plum juice, without raising an eyelid, for the tavern would always open bets everyday. This was an information hub, information spread far and wide, the bets placed were all strange as well.
For example, if someone wanted to assault the sword saint, they would open bets to bet on whether it would be a success.
Another example, if an aristocratic clan held a wedding, they would bet if someone would gatecrash and cause a ruckus.
Bell has long been used to it.
A thick voice echoed in the tavern.
“Today’s bet is on the Battle of Lupus Constellation, there are two parties to bet on, one would be Tang Tian, the other Wu Tie Yu, there’s no limit of Star Coins, may everyone show their powers, and boost the market, may everyone earn more.”
At the same time, words of “Tang Tian VS Wu Tie Yu” appeared on the walls of the tavern.
Bell was instantly stunned.
Interested customers bought a set of information from the waiter for 5 Star Coins, which was quite informative. While those customers with background, started to move close to each other and discussed.
Before Bell could react, the numbers behind the name “Wu Tie Yu” on the walls started to increase rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the numbers behind “Wu Tie Yu” jumped to 2,000,000, while the numbers behind “Tang Tian”, only had 150,000.
Bell’s heart sank.
This meant that the bets on Wu Tie Yu’s victory, already had 2 million Star Coins, while the bets on Tang Tian’s victory, only had 150 thousand Star Coins!
The well-versed Bell had a sense of ill-boding, she was an expert, with much experience. Usually, the ones who bet first, are usually people with the most information, these people, were totally not optimistic about Tang Tian!
She tried her best to calm down, called the waiter, and bought a set of information.
Then she could no longer hold it in, and her expression changed drastically.
Fire Wolf Tribe.
Ling Xu gritted his teeth, the power of the medicinal liquid, seeped into his body continuously. The pin-prick pain, attacked his entire body, and beads of perspiration rolled down his cheeks, into the medical barrel.
The black medicinal liquid, tossed and turned like a monster, his body trembled almost inconspicuously, his eyes shut tight, as he bared with the tremendous pain.
Moments later, the medicinal liquid in the barrel slowly calmed down, and the black medicinal liquid turned clear.
The expression of pain on Ling Xu’s face, gradually disappeared as well.
Hoo.
He gently blew out a long breath. A bead of sweat rolled down the bridge of his nose. The silverish eyelashes tremored, as his eyes slowly opened. The orangey-red pupils were unusually calm, without the fury and intensity of his past.
He felt as though he had been given a new lease on life.
He stood in front of the mirror, his skin glowed silvery-gold on his odd-shaped body, which presented a form of a distorted but oddly beautiful feeling. Other than the face which was a tad too white, there were no abnormalities. Ling Xu raised his palms, the palms which used to be black as iron, were now beautifully long and slender like a girl’s hand. The eye-catching silver colour, made this palm seemed as though a work of art.
The five silver fingers were clasped together, and gently waved his palms.
Poof!
A sharp sound pierced through the air, an almost undetectable trace flashed.
Was this silverization… …
Ling Xu felt an extremely fine silver liquid surged into his silver palm, this was the power of silverization.
