The Eternal Supreme

Chapter 189: Give Up the Share

For a moment, everyone’s mind was working at high speed, thinking of how they could seize the living Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon. Situ Xing and Tang Qiaoqiao pinched each other. Although both of them were not the strongest individually, they knew each other very well, and they feared no one if they joined forces. Moreover, one of the two strongest people—Duan Yue—was already severely injured and no longer a threat, which only left Lord Coldcrow.

The eyes of the six people kept flickering, as if they had all realized the current situation. Even Ma Wendi, Yan Feiyue, and Shi Hongcai were exchanging meaningful glances with one another. The three of them were the weakest, and if a fight were to break out, they would be on the losing side. All of a sudden, Lord Coldcrow, who was the strongest, became the weakest side.

Suddenly, Lord Coldcrow burst into laughter and said, “Haha! What are you doing? Don’t forget what we agreed upon when we set out. Integrity is the most important quality of a hunter. If a person does not have integrity, he will be unworthy of being a human being!” As he said that, his face was aflame with indignation. “This Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon is precious, but we can’t let it take away our moral character! At least I, Coldcrow, will never go against my words and obligations!”

The people present were all sly old foxes. They sneered as they watched him perform while Ma Wendi mocked, “Then why did the agreed eight shares turn into seven?”

Lord Coldcrow’s expression changed slightly, and he said, somewhat embarrassed, “This was agreed upon by everyone, so what can I do? They are two separate matters. In fact, this is not hard to solve. As long as any of you can come out with a price that satisfies me, I’ll give my share to him.”

That was indeed a good idea, but…

Shi Hongcai sneered, “Something that is worth as much as one share of the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon? I’m afraid none of us here are so rich, are we?”

Lord Coldcrow said, “That is not necessarily the case. If someone is willing to offer, maybe someone will take the offer, then the person who made the offer will take the other person’s share. This may not be a bad idea.”

The crowd fell silent. Suddenly, Yan Feiyue said, “I have a sixth-tier ancient spirit talisman produced by the Talisman Sect, which can be activated with only the cultivation base of a Great Martial Master. It is a defensive spirit talisman, enough to resist a full-force attack from a one-star Martial Emperor. It is made by an elder of the Talisman Sect who had grown too old, and its value is immeasurable. I’ll use it in exchange for a share. Which one of you is willing to give up?”

A sixth-tier ancient spirit talisman!

The crowd was taken aback. They did not expect Yan Feiyue to have such a treasure. This kind of ancient spirit talisman was a secret technique of the Talisman Sect; they were made by forcefully pressing the cultivation base of the talisman producers into the talismans, and could only be used once. And when the talisman was produced, the cultivation base of the person who made it would be gone forever. Worse still, the chances of successful refinement were extremely low.

Even in the Talisman Sect, this kind of a thing was very rare. Only some dying experts would use the secret technique to refine talismans, and then give them to their direct juniors, which served as their life-saving means. This kind of a talisman that could resist a full-force attack from a one-star Martial Emperor was extremely valuable to even them, who were Martial Grandmasters, not to mention ordinary warriors.

A warrior with the cultivation base of a Great Martial Master could resist a full-force attack from a one-star Martial Emperor, such a temptation was irresistible for the direct descendants of those major families and powers. So, no matter how expensive it would be, someone would definitely buy it. This kind of a thing had always been in high demand.

Yunxiao was slightly tempted as well. Even he did not know how this kind of ancient spirit talisman was refined. The Talisman Sect had always been a mysterious sect on the Heavenly Martial Continent which rarely contacted outsiders.

“It is indeed a good treasure, but it is basically useless for someone like us. And we don’t know how much can it be sold for,” Situ Xing said in a cold voice. Clearly, he was not moved.

Yan Feiyue looked a little displeased, but he did not say anything and just remained silent.

Suddenly, Lord Coldcrow chuckled and said, “Which of you have a dark Yin stone? If you have one, I will exchange it with my share.”

Everyone was frowning. Dark Yin stones were a kind of stone that produced an extreme Yin and cold energy after absorbing a large amount of dead aura, and it was very expensive. It was closely related to the cultivation technique Lord Coldcrow was cultivating.

Yunxiao sighed in his heart. A dark Yin stone and the outworld dark jade were the same kinds of things, but the dark Yin stone’s grade was much lower than that of the dark jade, and the outworld dark jade was the supreme-grade of the dark jade. A pity that he had only stolen only one piece, which had been blown apart when he used it to wipe out the Xingyang family.

However, an outworld dark jade was something that even Martial Sovereigns would fight for, and it was impossible for someone at Lord Coldcrow’s level to learn about its existence. So, getting a dark Yin stone to cultivate was already his biggest hope.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, he saw everyone shake their heads.

Ma Wendi was a little impatient, and he said, “If we keep doing this, how long will this go on for? Why don’t we just trade with Primordial Stones? As long as the quantity reaches a certain level, I’m sure someone will accept.”

What he said was reasonable, but no one would accept if the number of Primordial Stones was too less, and no one could take out too many in such a short time.

Suddenly, Yunxiao’s expression changed slightly, and he glanced at the Cauldron of Five Elements. He clearly sensed that the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon in it seemed to have gotten used to the hierarchical repression from the phoenix aura, and the cauldron should not be able to trap it for much longer. He hurriedly said, “Lord Yan, give me your ancient spirit talisman and one hundred thousand superior-grade Primordial Stones, and my brother’s share will be yours.”

Yan Feiyue’s eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, “Really?!” Then, he turned to look inquiringly at Duan Yue, who was healing aside.

Duan Yue snorted coldly. He had completely lost his affection for these people. “What he said fully represents my opinion.”

Overjoyed, Yan Feiyue hurriedly took out the ancient spirit talisman and a bag of Primordial Stones before handing them to Yunxiao.

Yunxiao slightly perceived the ancient spirit talisman’s aura, and he knew that it was not a fake one. The refinement method was very attractive even for him. In his previous life, he had obtained many things that belonged to the Talisman Sect from those old codgers in the Sea of Soul Formation, but his research on them did not yield him any result.

“Now, my brother’s share has been transferred to Lord Yan. So, this cauldron…I’ll let you take care of it!” Yunxiao reluctantly threw the purple cauldron to Yan Feiyue and said, “It is a very expensive peak fifth-tier mystic artifact, but it is yours now!”

Yan Feiyue took the purple cauldron with great joy. When he heard Yunxiao’s words, he felt embarrassed and fumbled through his body. Soon, he took out a pair of copper rings and threw them toward the other. “This pair of dragon-and-phoenix rings is my weapon when I was a Martial King. It is also a fifth-tier mystic weapon. Take it as a compensation for your purple cauldron.”

Yunxiao was surprised. While smiling, he took the pair of rings and slapped on his ring. A beam of light shot out of it, placing another Tigerking chariot outside the one they were in. Both chariots hovered side by side.

“Now that the things have been exchanged, how you are going to split the prize is no longer our business. Farewell, everyone! Take this Tigerking chariot as a gift from me.” He said courteously with a smile and beckoned to Duan Yue. Then, they they jumped into another chariot and drove into the distance.

Out of the three Tigerking chariots he got from Tianyuan Trading Company, one had exploded when he used it to deal with the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon, and now he gave away another one. So, the one they were riding now was the last Tigerking chariot he had.

The amazement in Duan Yue’s eyes grew stronger. “Where did you get so many fifth-tier chariots? These are not some cheap things you can buy anywhere, but genuine fifth-tier Tigerking chariots, and each costs a lot!”

Yunxiao showed him a disdainful look and said, “Poor people like you will never understand my lifestyle. You better focus on healing yourself. I’ve told you I will need your help later.”

Duan Yue paused a moment and snorted, “Don’t pretend you are rich in front of me. I’ve seen those super rich seventh and eighth-tier alchemists.” Suddenly, he recalled that Yunxiao was an alchemist, and he was lost for words. He found that no matter what he said, he seemed to be no match for the latter, and that depressed him. “Why do you need my help? Aren’t we going back now?” His eyes lit up in the next instant, and he said excitedly, “Oh, right! We are going to find the rainbow fog! I had forgotten about it after being caught up here!”

Staring at the dwindling Tigerking chariot, Yunxiao sneered, “We will go to find the rainbow fog, but I want that Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon as well. They have rested for so long, so it’s our turn to rest now.”

He drove the chariot directly into a huge white sea fog and hid inside. At the same time, he sent out several incantation seals and laid out a layer of restriction around the chariot, which could shield against the probing of common divine sense. Coupled with the great distance between them, it was extremely difficult for those people to discover them.

“What you mean is they will fight among themselves for the share?” Duan Yue asked in shock.

Yunxiao smiled and said, “I don’t know, but I think that’s quite likely.”

“What quite likely? Can you state what you mean clearly for once?” Duan Yue was confused by him and became frustrated. He was about to scold when he suddenly heard an explosion in the distance, followed by a furious roar that belonged to the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon!

“The flood dragon escaped?” Startled, Duan Yue said in horror, “Did you do it on purpose? Fu*k! You are so cruel!” Then, he burst out laughing. “Haha! The six of them are going to suffer now!”

Yunxiao was smiling happily as well. He lay leisurely in a chair and crossed his legs, looking at the sea. “No, I didn’t do it on purpose,” he said triumphantly. “I’m just a one-star Great Martial Master, and I’m not capable of taking down a Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon myself. Even with a fifth-tier cauldron, it is still absolutely impossible. I had only temporarily trapped it with a secret technique. If it weren’t for the lack of time, do you think I would give them back the flood dragon with just the price of an ancient spirit talisman? And even give them a cauldron and a chariot? No way! A pity that I’ve lost my Cauldron of Five Elements.”

Duan Yue was in a good mood. His divine sense could not reach too far on the sea covered by the fog, but he laughed happily and said, “It is nothing but a crude cauldron. Yan Feiyue had given you a pair of dragon-and-phoenix rings as compensation. I know the pair of mystic weapons. I’ve fought him when he was a Martial King. They are very powerful!”

“You know nothing!” Yunxiao felt distressed and scolded, “My purple cauldron contains a complete Five Element Dao Fruit, and it is the most valuable fifth-tier treasure in the whole Heavenly Martial Continent. Otherwise, even if I give you a sixth-tier cauldron, you will not be able to trap the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon. Moreover, the cauldron and I had connected spiritually, and it was thoroughly refined by me. Now, my fighting strength is significantly reduced. I just hope they don’t kill it, so that it is worth more.”
