Chapter 1116: The Four Seas Trading House (1/2)

The Ancestral Dragon Tree! Delight shone in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

“Yes, yes, it should be a piece of Ancestral Dragon Tree bark, it’s right inside this Punishing Heaven City, just up ahead!” The little cow Xiaoniū excitedly spoke in one breath.

Huang Xiaolong immediately set off following the little cow’s instructions to the location where it sensed the Ancestral Dragon Tree aura.

Standing in front of a tall building, he raised his head to look at the name: ”Four Seas Trading House”. Huang Xiaolong's eyes narrowed, this Four Seas Trading Firm was a highly influential trading house in the sea tribe community. Just its branch stores were close to ten thousand in number!

For a piece of Ancestral Dragon Tree bark to be in this Four Seas Trading House branch of all places...!

A second later, Huang Xiaolong lifted his foot and stepped inside.

In the main lobby, he took a quick glance around and immediately spotted the centerpiece, placed at the most obvious spot in the room, the Ancestral Dragon Tree bark. It was slightly over one meter long with irregular edges, emitting a faint but obvious green glow, looking more like a green fish rather than a tree bark from afar.

However, there was an obvious layer of glimmering light enshrouding the Ancestral Dragon Tree bark, there was clearly a formation in place. It was a strong formation, most likely erected by a mid-level or above Ancient God Realm master.

Huang Xiaolong subconsciously frowned. He called over a trading house employee and pointed at the glowing Ancestral Dragon Tree asking, ”What's the price for that?”

A radiant smile instantly appeared on the staff's face, ”Young Noble wants to buy this Ancestral Dragon Tree bark? Unfortunately, it is not for sale!”

Huang Xiaolong's breath was stuck in his chest for a second. He truly had not expected this Four Seas Trading House to actually recognize it as the bark of the Ancestral Dragon Tree. If they recognized it, why would they place it at the main lobby? Why put it on display if it wasn't for sale?

”Since it isn't for sale, why display it in the main lobby? Is there a meaning to it?” Huang Xiaolong asked, baffled.

”Those are our Vice-Chairman's instructions; regardless of who it is, the person who wants this Ancestral Dragon Tree bark must bring the Nether Spirits Bead in exchange.” At this time, a robust old man clad in the Four Seas Trading House's supervisor robe approached with a benign smile.

”Nether Spirits Bead.” Huang Xiaolong's eyes glimmered in deep thought.

“Exactly, the Nether Spirits Bead. Our Four Seas Trading Firm found four pieces of Ancestral Dragon tree bark, and the other three pieces are much larger than this one here.” The supervisor revealed, adding after a brief pause, “If anyone can offer four Nether Spirits Beads, our trading house’s Vice-Chairman is willing to exchange all four pieces of Ancestral Dragon Tree barks with that person.”

Huang Xiaolong was inwardly jumping with joy, the Four Seas Trading House actually had three other pieces of Ancestral Dragon Tree bark that were even bigger than the one in front of him!

Four Nether Spirits Beads!

“I’m not very familiar with this Nether Spirits Bead, can you share some details with me?” Huang Xiaolong suppressed the joy in his heart and asked.

“Sure.” The Four Seas Trading House old man supervisor told Huang Xiaolong about the Nether Spirits Bead.

Apparently, it was a rare kind spiritual bead formed from the accumulated soul force of Yin spirits over a hundred million years. This Nether Spirits Bead was greatly beneficial for cultivating soul force attack techniques.

According to the information the Four Seas Trading House had gathered over the years, there were a few Nether Spirits Beads in the Soul Tribe’s treasury.

“The Soul Tribe’s treasury.” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t resist a wry smile hearing the location.

The Soul Tribe was one of the more powerful sea tribes, many times stronger than the Clam Tribe. Entering their treasury and taking away those few Nether Spirits Beads was easier said than done.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head and decided to first gather the herbs needed to refine the Reverse Incarnation Pill.

Thus, he inquired about the remaining herbs he required.

Looking at the list Huang Xiaolong gave, the supervisor said, “What a coincidence! In a few days, the Eastern Brightness Auction House will be holding an auction, and amongst the batch of herbs, several hundreds of them are on the list Little Brother gave me. Other than two or three of them, you should be able to purchase most of the herbs listed here.”

Huang Xiaolong raised an eyebrow, he hadn't expected to find clues about the medicinal herbs he required so fast after coming to the Endless Sea.
