Chapter 157 – Exchange
Ye Wei couldn’t even imagine how big of an impact his answer made. In every Runemaster Union’s branch, Runemasters and Grand-Runemasters gathered together to discuss this news. The word spread quickly from city to city and even from region to region. The name of Ye Wei was in everyone’s minds and on everyone’s lips.
“This fellow Runemaster Ye Wei possesses great amount of knowledge! If the opportunity comes up, we should definitely ask him for some advices!” A group of Runemasters were discussing the recent news through their badges.
“This question was on the jade wall for so many years and no one was able to solve it. After this breakthrough, someone will eventually be able to find all seven vermillion essence runes left by the Vermilion Emperor!? Do you think the rumor is true regarding the powerful stance these seven runes together would make?”
“I am not sure that this Ye Wei will be able to find the second rune so easily.”
“I wish I would be able to solve this problem, but it would require so much time to learn all the runes from the book, to go through each one of them. Just to find the first one it probably took almost ten years. The second one will be even harder and more time consuming!”
“Maybe Ye Wei has a different method? Maybe he found another way? We need to just wait and see.”
“Zhou dynasty? That is like, the countryside? That is the last place I would expect to see a skilled Runemaster… I heard that there are only a handful of Grand-Runemasters are based there.”
“Well, have you forgotten about the Black Cloud dynasty? It was less developed than Zhou dynasty is now, before that person surfaced, and now that place is swarmed by Grand-Runemasters, it is basically the capital of Runemasters…”
“The younger generation of Runemasters is really talented, aren’t they?”
Ye Wei was not aware of all the talks, confusion and excitement that were going on around his newfound fame and the answer submitted by him. He was more delighted with the reward that he got from finding just one rune.
‘What can I buy with five million contribution tokens?’
‘It is not enough for me to get the powerful stances, formulas… Damn, not even these pills… I need more contribution tokens!’ Ye Wei was not interested in things on the list that he could afford.
‘First, I should probably spent my contribution tokens on Nourish Soul pills as they only cost five hundred thousands token each. I need them to restore my Sentient. But I also need to save some tokens and spend them on either practical gadgets or Qi stones to charge the iron talisman!’ Thought Ye Wei, trying to make the best out of the reward he earned.
Suddenly a girl in a white silk dress appeared in front of Ye Wei’s eyes. Her smile was warmer than last time. Ye Wei however didn’t realise right away that it was not a hologram and actually a real person in front of him, sent from the union’s headquarter, she was the dedicated contact person for Ye Wei.
Ye Wei’s sudden influx of contribution tokens also had effect on her. She was aware that the richer the Runemasters the more powerful they were.
“Hello!” said Ye Wei, a little bit surprised by the new face and sudden gentleness.
“You can call me, Xiao Ying,” answered girl in a sweet, friendly voice.
“Nice to meet you, Xiao Ying. I would like to buy few things with my contribution tokens, please.” Said Ye Wei while browsing through the available items.
“I will be glad to assist you. What do you wish to purchase?” Smiled Xiao Ying, showcased her cute dimples, and lightly nodded.
“I need one Nourish Soul pill, fifty of high grade Qi stones… I will also be needing two deception scrolls… And…”
‘Yea! It makes more and more sense for me to get a deception scrolls, not only will I be able escape under its effect, I can even perform a counterstrike if I pair it with the iron talisman…’ Ye Wei was already calculating how he could deal with more powerful demons if he was to run into one.
While he was browsing through the various scrolls, one of them caught his attention, ‘Instant Shadow Scroll!?’
The Instant Shadow Scroll contained a specialized stance, its power was blood-bound, could only be used by the person who bought the scroll.
Intrigued by the scroll’s name, Ye Wei took the time to read the item’s description. “Instant Shadow Scroll: upon activation, the scroll will create an energy vortex, an interspatial gateway. The user will be able to re-enter the normal realm anywhere within two hundred kilometers distance from where the scroll was activated.”
‘The stance contained by this type of scrolls are going to be useful if I ever get hunted by demon kings or maybe even demon sovereigns…’
“I didn’t even know I needed this scroll before now! I’ll take one of these, thank you!”
Ye Wei shifted his focus onto the price of the scroll. It was way more than he expected, one point five million contribution tokens.
He felt a little bit uneasy, he just received the tokens and didn’t want to spend all of them at once.
Although the scroll was very expensive, for Ye Wei it represented a great importance to obtain something like Instant Shadow scroll, and he was actually willing to spend as many tokens for it as needed, for the fact that this stance could become a true lifesaver in dangerous situations.
“Also an Instant Shadow scroll, please!”
“A Nourish Soul pill for five hundred thousand tokens, fifty high grade Qi stones for five hundred thousand contribution tokens, two deception scrolls for six hundred thousand contribution tokens, and one Instant Shadow scroll for one point five million tokens. Do you wish to purchase anything else?” Xiao Ying listed all of the ordered goods.
