Chapter 52: Back To Lorra [2] (1/2)
”The price could have been more. Although, the concentration of the condensed spiritual energy in the stone is higher than the thousand pure grades combined, the face value is equivalent. Because, the spirit crystals contained traces of water element, assuming it was neutral it would have cost much more. I think it must have been created where there was too much water and the likes. But, it is still quite a fortune, it's good enough to cover any loss of value.”
”One to hundred pure grades? It would have been better to be higher but that's still fine by me, senior alchemist Luo Peng. We can go ahead and the proceedings will be shared equally as discussed.”
”One more thing Ju Feng, there's a request in advance for four total grade spirit stones, four of any kind in total. The potential buyer will also give some extras on the deal. There are people who want to buy it, if you have more we could easily dispose it off. You just need to let me know, okay?”
”Okay senior alchemist Luo Peng. I'll inform you if I have more. For now, these are the remaining three crystals.”
He gave alchemist master Luo Peng three more blue crystals and left the marketplace. He knew that Senior Luo Peng would do his best to be honest due to the fact that he didn't know how much crystals he, Ju Feng, had. He didn't even know who was giving Ju Feng, maybe it was an hegemon. Who would risk anything like that?
Since the day was still a long way from dusk, he made a resolve to go for a little practice. He still needed to master the second stage of the swift spine technique and he only knew the first phase of the Skylight Technique, the Sundering Heavens. He simply had to keep practicing.
And just as he was getting to the Zhanshi training area.
”Ju Feng?”
Chenric who was at the other side of the training area, quickly moved to where Ju Feng was.
”Ju Feng, we've been looking for you. Where were you? Meditating?”
Meditating in seclusion? Ju Feng's mind suddenly went to the past events on Charat's planet and to the Savants of the Flying Stars sect who wanted to put him in solitary solitude. Solitary Solitude they called it, for him to reflect on his wrongdoings and seek redemption of his heart. Or was it his soul? Yes, they found him in a restricted area but they gave him three wrongdoings he didn't committed in the first place. How could he have proved otherwise since he was caught in the place? Well, fair enough.
”Hey Chenric, uhm, about that, let's say i was in solitary solitude. You know, secluded meditation and stuff like that.”
”Yes we know, but at least you could have informed us about it beforehand instead of us looking for you everywhere.”
Da Xia, who had caught up to them, uttered in a little displeased tone.
”Sorry about that, it only escaped my mind. Next time, I promise to tell you.”
Ju Feng with a bit of remorse in his voice, looked at the two siblings apologetically.
”We want to show you something, come with us.”
They took him to a quiet area, away from the eyes of others and after looking around for some time concluded it was a good place. Then, Chenric took out a small wooden box painted in red. Inside the box were a journal, a map and a big red Jasper ring.
”I must say, it's a beautiful ring.”
”It's not the ring you needed to see, it's the journal.”
Da Xia rolled her eyes and slightly shook her head.
”Yes, the journal. What about it?”
”The journal belonged to our grandfather, grandpa Ye Tian. We have red it and it was about a place our grandfather came across. He wrote that it was a place he found by chance when he was looking for the Heavenly Jade spirit fruit.”
