That elder gave a long sigh. “Alright, then I will do the exchange! However, let’s get the unpleasant talk out of the way… You better not fool me with fake goods! If you do, most likely you will be chased and killed by a Supreme Dao elite warrior from the Fish Dragon Clan. In the best case, you will become a publicized enemy of the Endless Eastern Sea. After all, there exists a commerce oath between the eighteen dragon clans. When you are a suspect of cheating at the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon, the other dragon clan’s trade centres will also put you on their black list!”
Qin Wushuang laughed and said, “Don’t worry, as long as your good is genuine and at a fair price, my goods will not be fake. We already talked explicitly of the price, I will give you the incomplete refining secret book. You will exchange this with the Recuperate Pearl, the First Heavenly Water, the Dragon Breath seal, the First Heavenly Water, and the Essence of Golden Earth to me.”
The elder nodded and gave a long sigh. “You are such a businessman as you’ve used one of your goods to exchange with five of mine. You have almost emptied out my collection!”
Qin Wushuang said leisurely, “Old man, you should also not fool me. Do you truly think I believe that your Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon only has three representative treasures? I am afraid there are some great goods that even Yun Keng is clueless of, right?”
The elder roared with laughter. “That’s a secret, a secret, all those are secrets. Wait a moment here, I will package the goods for you immediately!”
“Yes, I will also offer the secret book.”
…
In about an hour, under an incredibly friendly atmosphere from both parties, each took what they needed. On the surface, it seemed that the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon suffered a great loss by exchanging five goods for one; however, the elder revealed a face full of joy. Clearly, to him, the refining method of this Golem Puppet was the same for him having picked up a treasure.
The crafting of this Golem Puppet was a top secret technique that would never be passed down. Once one acquired it, it meant that one could make Golem Puppets after having entered the Supreme Dao Stage and could then use it as a Supreme Dao clone. During a battle, it would definitely be an eye-catching and practical divine skill!
One puppet meant one life!
If calculating it this way, it was not difficult to understand why this elder appeared this excited.
Naturally, Qin Wushuang made a great profit. After all, he had the complete method of how to make the Golem Puppet. The elder would only know the method that used two assisting materials, the Fish Dragon Iron Bone plus one other.
Yet, he held the complete crafting method that required one main material and four assisting materials. This method would be more well-rounded than the incomplete method.
Most importantly, during this business deal, Qin Wushuang didn’t even have to pay with the Spiritual Power Pearl or the azure armor. Without paying actual goods, he exchanged with numerous goods. Indeed, it could be said that Qin Wushuang returned from a rewarding journey and had an immense profit.
The crafting method of the Golem Puppet was intellectual property. In his former world, the majority of the time intellectual property was shared by people on the internet. The pirated edition made the intellectual property appear incredibly powerless and feeble.
Since Qin Wushuang also acquired this good from Lu Xianlou, naturally he would not be distressed.
…
After Qin Wushuang left the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon, the elder fondled the handwritten secret book in his hand with admiration. Yun Keng, who was on the side, could not refrain from asking, “This time, we let that guy have a huge advantage.”
“A great advantage?” That elder laughed hysterically. “Perhaps he felt he gained more of an advantage, but in fact, we gained more. Yun Keng, just wait, very soon you will know what a brilliant exchange we did by using those goods to trade for this book!”
Yun Keng oscillated without a pause as he looked at the direction where Qin Wushuang was walking far away into the distance. “Should we look into this guy. I think this guy must possess a lot of good treasures.”
“That’s not something we need to do. However, we can deliver the news to the Fish Dragon Clan. It is their business how the Dragon Mansion takes care of it.”
While they were engaged in conversation, a figure flashed from downstairs. Like a ball of fire, this figure scuttled to the fifth pavilion.
When Yun Keng saw this person, his face carried a pleased expression. “It’s Miss Mi Jia, what brings you here?”
Even the elder addressed her with a somewhat flattery tone when he saw Mi Jia’s sudden appearance, “Tsk tsk, princess of the Horned Dragon Clan? You ended up to be this beautiful? The seldom thing is that it seems you have already left behind all of us old people with your achievements?”
Mi Jia flung her hair with confidence and ease. Her beautiful hair floated like a wave and a familiar, yet noble smile emerged from the corner of her mouth. “A moment ago, did someone purchase something here?”
Yun Keng immediately nodded and said, “There was this mysterious young master who came by.”
Mi Jia pursed her sexy lips and slightly opened them. “What did he buy?”
“This…” Yun Keng felt a sense of hesitation and he looked at his elder.
The elder shrugged his shoulders. “Miss Mi Jia, usually our Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon cannot reveal information about our guests.”
Mi Jia raised her pair of red phoenix eyes to glare at the man. “Old man, are you challenging my temper? Or do you think I am easy to be fooled?”
Yun Keng immediately smiled apologetically/ “Miss Mi Jia, that guy purchased our Recuperate Pearl, six scrolls of the Dragon Breath seal, and a set of Fish Dragon Iron Bone.”
“Aren’t these goods your lifeline? Why were you willing to take these out and sell them?”
The elder said with a dry laugh, “He… He gave us some good stuff in return…”
“What good stuff?” Mi Jia asked straightforwardly.
The elder’s face was twisted as he did not wish to speak of it. The crafting method of the Golem Puppet was a great secret. Once it was exposed, it could not help but lure other people’s curiosity. It was a rare commodity worth hoarding.
Since he could not talk about it, he could only lie. “That is… Is a piece of Supreme Dao armor, Miss Mi Jia. Your armor is also of Supreme Dao quality, right?”
Mi Jia revealed a contempt smile. “Was it just one Supreme Dao armor? Look at how nervous you guys are. I would not even have my eyes on it. I can’t believe that kid is willing to part with it.”
“It seemed that he was urgent in needing it. Therefore, he did not appear to be too picky.” Yun Keng also started to talk nonsense to justify the lie for the elder.
Mi Jia did not doubt him and was also not very interested in the trade itself. Instead, she asked, “Besides his business, did he talk about other things?”
“Like what?” Yun Keng asked a rhetorical question with confusion.
“For example, where he was going and what he plans to do?”
Yun Keng shook his head blankly. “That guy is incredibly cunning as he immediately began to interweave my words when he entered. After talking a lot, he devalued our goods to nothing. Then, he deliberately asked me the good he had, he pretended to be purchasing it and raised his price of goods through me. Then he went around and told me that he was exchanging these goods.”
“That little one is incredibly cunning! Yun Keng, it’s normal that you could not see through his tricks. He even pulled one over me earlier.”
Initially Mi Jia had held a serious expression, but suddenly she laughed and said casually, “Is that bastard truly as cunning as you say?”
“He’s even more crafty, that bastard!” Yun Keng agreed.
The color on Mi Jia’s face sank. “How did you scold him?”
“I… Am I not following you to scold him?”
Mi Jia said with a cold and stern expression, “I can scold him, but you cannot.”
Yun Keng felt incredibly inexplicable. Inwardly, he thought that indeed she was worthy to be called the sorceress who was temperamental.
She mumbled something to herself and immediately after, with a flash of wind that carried a sweet fragrance, she drifted downstairs with her wonderful body leaving Yun Keng dumbstruck.
“Ha ha, Yun Keng, don’t look at me. For this sorceress, even I cannot afford to offend her. Could it be that you don’t know the best thing to do when meeting this person is to talk less?”
Yun Keng gave a long sigh. “It seems that Miss Mi Jia is following that kid. That kid is going to be out of luck. Ha ha, off all the people to offend, you chose to offend her…”
A strange smile spilled over from the corner of that elder’s mouth. “I am more curious of which house that disciple belongs to. It seems that he has endless treasures from head to toe. You stay here to watch the shop, I must inform the Fish Dragon royal mansion of this matter.”
…
Inside a secret pavilion of the Fish Dragon royal mansion, a mysterious elite warrior of the Fish Dragon Clan slowly opened her eyes from the pavilion. She said with a cold and distinct voice, “Yun Ning, what business do you have from me?”
“Auntie Hong’Er, I have some urgent matters in need of reporting.”
That woman inside this secret pavilion said indifferently, “Yun Mo and Yun Xiao went to the First-Rate Dragon Palace, haven’t they already handed over all of the major and trivial matters of the royal mansion into your charge?”
“Before the patriarch departed, indeed they let me be in charge of matters inside the clan. However, recently some unexpected things have happened. I profoundly feel it’s difficult to achieve success without support and I would not dare to make a decision on my own. Therefore, I come to ask for you, Auntie.”
The woman asked after pondering for a moment, “What’s the matter?”
“Auntie, you are an elite warrior of the old generation, you should have heard about the Graceful Spiritual Bow, right?”
Lights shone through the woman’s features. “You are talking about the Graceful Spiritual Bow?” When speaking here, the voice of this woman clearly became urgent and her expression also changed violently.
Fortunately she was inside and that Yun Ning was outside the room, so they could not see one another.
“Auntie, indeed you’ve heard about the Graceful Spiritual Bow. Currently, that Graceful Spiritual Bow has re-appeared within the Tian Xuan Land. The new master of the Graceful Spiritual Bow is at the Endless Eastern Sea and is now being chased from every direction. Everyone wants it for their sanctification in short of his destruction. According to my information, the new master of this Graceful Spiritual Bow is only a disciple to the Xuan Yuan Mound’s Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. He only possesses the power to be around the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage. Therefore, all elite warriors of each Forbidden Spiritual Zone are flocking him, intending to seize this Graceful Spiritual Bow. Through my analysis, I’ve discovered that disciples of the Qin Clan are most likely at our River Gulf. He may even be at our Fish Dragon City.”
That woman mumbled gently, “The Graceful Spiritual Bow… Has it really appeared?”
Congealing her expression, she fixed her voice and said, “Yun Ning, I understand. You will not need to get involved in this matter, I will go investigate on my own. The Fish Dragon Royal Mansion must not interfere, understand?”
Yun Ning said with a stammering tone, “Auntie, wouldn’t your involvement be the same as representing the Fish Dragon Royal Mansion?”
That woman shook her head and said, “You are wrong. My involvement is simply based on my individual name. The Fish Dragon Royal Clan must never get involved. Or else, most likely it will welcome a disastrous calamity, remember this at all costs!”
Yun Ning was dumbstruck, yet he knew that his auntie was Yun Hong’Er, a person blessed by the gods a few thousand years ago. She possessed the number one strength across the Fish Dragon Clan. Despite having a just and honest personality, she would never speak frightening words to scare people.
“Yun Ning, where did you get your information?” Yun Hong’Er asked lightly.
Yun Ning did not dare to hide it as he spoke honestly, “Information came from the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon, they said a young man came to the pavilion to make a trade and he showcased the ability of spending a large amount of wealth. He also possessed extremely high strength. Within my Fish Dragon Clan territory, it seems we don’t have such a young man. Across the surrounding territories, it seems there are no other disciples who fit the description.”
Speaking here, he narrated all the information and feedback with details that came from the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon, and he also talked about the goods Qin Wushuang exchanged.
“Yes, I will look into this matter myself, there is no need for you to get involved.” After Yun Hong’Er finished speaking, she transformed into a flashing red light and she drifted away from the Fish Dragon Royal Mansion.
