Chapter 1022 - The Origin of the Spear (2/2)

“Amazing, amazing.”

Xue Ying merely praised it before continuing to look at other secret treasures.

He walked and stopped. And soon, he arrived at the spearhead which was also the reason why he came.

“This spearhead has an interesting origin.” The plump male chuckled, “Its owner is even someone who had some slight relationship with my Fan Clan.”

Xue Ying felt his heart thumping.

Its owner?

It seemed that the Fan Clan knew the exact origin of this spearhead.

“A very long time ago, at an era before the first War of the Ancient Nations, that time, the Realm Heart Great Land was more chaotic, unlike the current world which is comparatively more orderly. At that time, the Summer Wind Ancient Nation hasn’t been built.” The plump old man said, “‘Great Paragon Lu Tian’ from my Fan Clan has once befriended someone as he traveled across the Realm Heart Great Land, someone known as ‘Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master’. That was a horrifying existence who wasn’t any weaker than Great Paragon Lu Tian himself, yet that Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master was too overly arrogant and ostentatious. He was obstinate and unyielding, which cost him his life in the end. Of course, that was something which happened before the first War of the Ancient Nations, and I only know bits and pieces of it.”

“But this spearhead was the one Great Paragon Lu Tian saw in the past. It is indeed the spearhead of the ‘Scarlet Cloud Magic Spear’ which belongs to Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master.”

“It’s a pity that over the years as the spear was circulated around, only this spearhead is left behind.” The plump old man shook his head.

Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

Something that happened before the first War of the Ancient Nations? That was indeed a period where even history was scarcely recorded. After all, many ancient nations had yet to be built then.

Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master?

“I wonder what is the price like?” Xue Ying asked.

“As it is missing a piece, and only its spearhead is left behind, it is deemed cheaper.” The plump old man chuckled, “500 million cosmos crystals.”

“500 million?”

Xue Ying felt stunned.

And that was considered cheap?

As cultivating the “Southern Cloud Sacred Body” required precious materials, he only had a total of 50 over million cosmos crystals. This was even given to him by Old Mother Ying Shan when he reached the Unity realm.

500 million cosmos crystals. That was a really horrifying price. It cost even more than Magic Servant Zi Bai!

“It isn’t costly. Any formidable Primal Chaos giant could buy it after selling all his belongings.” The plump old man said, “After all, this was a weapon of Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master. If it was the complete treasure, its price might not be any less than that ‘Cloud Sky Hammer’! But now, 500 million cosmos crystals is really just a pittance.”

Xue Ying could not afford it at all.

Even if he displayed his strength and became a powerful Primal Chaos giant, he needed time to accumulate treasures. And to do that, most would have to risk their lives and go on a campaign to kill.

‘500 million cosmos crystals.’ Xue Ying felt his heart trembling.

No other choice.

In a tiny area like the Ardent Fire City, nobody was able to recognize the origin of the spear body. After all, the imprints on the spear body were lacking. Xue Ying was able to buy it at a low price.

This spearhead was different. The spearhead was mainly used to attack and kill. During ordinary times, the spearhead would cause the surrounding void to fluctuate, forming many void ripples. One glance and it sufficed to show that this was an extraordinary item. Furthermore, Great Paragon Lu Tian had ascertained its origin, which was why its price naturally went up.

“After all, this is only a spearhead.” The plump male saw the appearance of Xue Ying and felt that this young man seemed interested in the item. He added, “If you are really interested in buying it, I can reduce the price slightly.”

It could indeed be reduced to a lower price.

Even though it had a great origin, it was ultimately an incomplete weapon. The Fan Clan had fixed the lowest price it could be sold at 300 million cosmos crystals.

“How much cheaper can it be? Is it possible to buy it below 100 million cosmos crystals?” Xue Ying asked.

The plump male shook his head profusely: “Impossible. Absolutely impossible. It can only be slightly cheaper.”

“Oh.”

Xue Ying felt slightly disappointed.

He did not have any choice. He could not afford this weapon!

But even if he could not afford it, if Xue Ying could hold onto this spearhead and personally observe through the operation of the internal imprints! He would be able to memorize part of it. Fusing it with the profound mysteries within the spear body would be of great help. It would certainly reduce the difficulty of comprehending the profound mysteries within the spear body by three to five times.

“Can I see it?” Xue Ying turned to the plump old man in front. This spearhead was wrapped around by many layers of forbidding arrays. Clearly, it was meant to make it difficult for guests to view it.
