Chapter 313: World Shocking Prices (1/2)

Treasure City and Treasure Island were exactly as Tao Wu had said. Although everyone was filled with greed and excitement when they saw the magnificent ship and the ability to draw the heaven and earth essence over, they did not act on their desire to own it.

The rules were ironclad, no one could shake them, and if anyone tried they'd end up as the target for all others, alongside no harbor letting them enter.

However, this did not stop them from plotting against the delegation. Although they could not do anything while they were docked in Treasure City's harbor, no one said anything about following them later when they left and then commandeering the ship.

Xue Wei was aware of their thoughts. Their eyes were glistening with malice, and they did not attempt at hiding their intentions. Many onboard the ship started frowning. They too understood that having gone to Treasure Island was not a bad idea initially, but after seeing them all being like this, they realized that when one had a treasure, flaunting it could cause infamy and bad luck.

Xue Wei smiled wryly. There were not many in the city who were stronger than him and the crew, but there did not need to be many, just one Saint who wished to take over the ship and they would be done for.

Pondering over what to do, Xue Wei was feeling somewhat regretful.

Should they sell the ship and buy another one? If they did, then they would end up no longer being the target for the others, but they would also lose out on an excellent cultivation resource.

However, life was more important than speedy cultivation. Although external factors could help them progress faster, they did not doubt their own strength and talent, so instead of holding on to such a hot potato, why not sell it to someone else and let it be their problem?

He was not the only one who thought like this, more and more of the people on board the ship were more than willing to cut their losses.

They had almost lost their lives on the Berserker island. Now that they were alive, they had to treasure their lives much more.

Since this was the case, Xue Wei did not have to say anything. Although they were slightly reluctant, the ambassador did not hesitate and ordered someone to guard the ship while he went to one of the ship vendors in town.

Slowly everyone who had the courage, or the ones who had something they needed started to disembark the ship in small groups so that they could protect one another.

Xue Wei did not waste any more time either and disembarked the ship together with his group of friends. The only one who did not go with them was Jiang Yingyue. Instead, she stayed along with Tao Wu and left the ship with him.

Seeing this, Xue Wei was more than confident that in the future, he would no longer be traveling together with Jiang Yingyue.

She had a dream from before, and now she was able to live out this dream and be together with the man she loved. This was an ending he was quite pleased with.

It was not that he did not want to travel with her, he just wanted his friends to live the life they wanted; he wanted them to be happy and satisfied, so seeing this was the best possible ending.

Xue Wei was feeling quite happy knowing that they could once more put their feet on the hard soil, and not only this, this entire Treasure City was a full treasure trove.

Xue Wei was carrying Luoluo in his arms; Bai Tianyi walked on one side of him with Hei Gou and Lin Xiao on the other.

The streets were bustling with life. Many experts were walking down the roads. Some were casually standing in groups and chatting with one another. The subjects were mainly about the newest treasures that had been unearthed here in Treasure City.

Others were drinking wine at the taverns or eating at the restaurants. Although food and drinks were not necessary for experts of a certain strength, eating the meat of Fierce Beasts, alongside medicinal herbs, could still provide a boost in one's cultivation base.

The same was the case with spiritual wine, and thus Treasure Island's restaurants specialized in this aspect.

The price of everything on Treasure island was immense. They did not take any form of payment in gold coins. Instead, they were paid in rare materials, cultivation resources, and essence stones.

Xue Wei had received a whole bunch of materials when he was in Yan Dalu, but he had not received many essence stones. Here he had to depend on the ones he already owned from before he left Chang'an.

Fortunately, he had no interest in buying any food or drinks, for now. Instead, they headed towards the center of the city where a large pavilion was towering above the other buildings.

On a sign outside the building was written the name of the place, Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

This Thousand Treasures Pavilion was a place where both snakes and dragons would go with their loot and try to sell it off. When a thing was sold to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, no one was capable of taking it back.

At the same time, Thousand Treasure Pavilion was never blamed for anything they sold; even if the original owner came back, they would not be able to lay claim on the things, also if they had proof of it being stolen, they would have to purchase the item back as any other person would have to buy it.

The walk towards the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was longer than expected. Although they had already seen the nameplate, they still had to walk for as long as it took for an incense stick to burn before they reached the front door.
