"Flourishing Summer City!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he spoke slowly.
"Flourishing Summer City? What's that place? "
The little gold mouse asked curiously.
"That's the largest trade city in the Darkstone Empire, and it's similar to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Ancient City of Everlast … Supposedly, the Darkstone Empire's Flourishing Summer City is even more chaotic than the Ancient City of Everlast!"
Duan Lingtian continued. "So, if it's not necessary, you must not cause trouble for me during this trip … Understand?"
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, his tone was slightly stern.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse cried out and agreed.
Flourishing Summer City was located in the northeast area of the Darkstone Empire.
The little gold mouse flew at full speed, and her speed wasn't inferior to a first level Void Initiation Stage martial artist.
Ten days later, Duan Lingtian saw the outline of Flourishing Summer City.
Flourishing Summer City's four walls were completely pitch black like ink.
Practically all the buildings within the city were constructed from black bricks.
Today, the sky was dim as dark clouds converged in the horizon and enveloped the entire Flourishing Summer City within it.
Coupled with the completely pitch black Flourishing Summer City, it gave others the feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, this is Flourishing Summer City?"
The little gold mouse asked.
"Exactly … Find a place to land outside, we'll enter the city."
Duan Lingtian nodded and called out to the little gold mouse.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian brought along the little gold mouse that had shrunk once more and stood on his shoulder as he walked into Flourishing Summer City with large strides.
Flourishing Summer City was extremely large, and it wasn't the slightest bit inferior to the Darkstone Empire's Imperial City.
After entering the city, what entered his eyes was a road that was excessively wide.
There was an endless stream of people passing by, and carriages flowed without end.
It gave others an extremely prosperous feeling.
"As expected of the number one trade city in the Darkstone Empire … In terms of prosperity, even the Imperial City is unable to compare to it."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Suddenly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
A wave of wind howls suddenly sounded out above Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian looked up.
Only then did he realize that there were quite a few people flying at a low altitude, their speed as fast as lightning.
Duan Lingtian quietly extended his psychic power.
After a short while, he was able to determine the cultivation base of these people.
Amongst these people, most of them were existences at the seventh level of the Void Prying Stage or above, and there were even many existences at the Void Initiation Stage.
"An empire is not something an empire can compare to."
Duan Lingtian sighed.
However, Duan Lingtian headed straight for the center of the city.
"Brother Ling Tian, where are we going?"
The little gold mouse could see that Duan Lingtian was walking with a purpose.
"You'll know soon enough."
Duan Lingtian didn't explain in detail and continued to walk forward with the little golden mouse.
Finally, in front of a luxurious building in the center of Flourishing Summer City, Duan Lingtian stopped.
Treasure Gathering Pavilion!
The luxurious building before Duan Lingtian's eyes was dazzling, and it occupied the best area of Flourishing Summer City. With a single glance, he knew that it wasn't the property of an ordinary power.
Duan Lingtian walked in with large strides.
This Treasure Gathering Pavilion was precisely the destination of his trip to Flourishing Summer City this time.
"The Treasure Gathering Pavilion is the property of a formidable power of the Darkhan Dynasty, and it has branches in the various Empires under the Darkhan Dynasty … Besides collecting the treasures in the world, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion also sells many treasures."
"The Treasure Gathering Pavilion disdains to collect ordinary treasures … For example, spirit weapons. Only spirit weapons above grade five have the qualifications to enter the Treasure Gathering Pavilion! Spirit weapons below grade six are utterly disdained by the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. "
"Besides collecting and selling various treasures, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion also provides services like consignment sales. Of course, it can also offer rewards! "
All of this was what Duan Lingtian had found out in the Darkstone Empire's Imperial City.
And he'd come here this time precisely for the sake of offering rewards!
"Customer, may I ask what you need?"
Duan Lingtian had only just entered the Treasure Gathering Pavilion when an attendant came over to greet him, and the attendant revealed a professional smile.
Duan Lingtian's pupils couldn't help but constrict at the first glance of the attendant.
Heavens!
What have I seen?
A mere attendant actually possesses a cultivation at the first level of the Void Prying Stage.
"This Treasure Gathering Pavilion is worthy of being the property of a formidable power of the Darkhan Dynasty … What extravagance!"
Duan Lingtian was greatly shocked in his heart.
"I need to offer a reward."
Duan Lingtian spoke to the attendant.
"Offer a reward?"
The attendant nodded, then brought Duan Lingtian to walk up to the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion before welcoming Duan Lingtian to a counter. "Customer, what reward do you need to offer? You can register it here."
Behind the counter stood a middle aged man with a calm expression, and it was impossible to discern his emotions.
"Fourth level of the Void Prying Stage!"
When Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force stretched out, he noticed the cultivation of the middle aged man behind the counter at the first possible moment.
He never imagined.
The cultivation of a martial artist that guarded the counter in this Treasure Gathering Pavilion was similar to his.
"Customer, may I know what reward you want to offer?"
The middle aged man looked at Duan Lingtian and asked slowly.
"Ageless Root! I need a reward for the Ageless Root. "
Duan Lingtian's gaze squinted, and his tone was resolute and decisive.
Ageless Root?
The middle aged man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian. "Customer, please describe the characteristics of the thing you want … Besides that, if it's convenient, I hope you can leave behind a diagram of it."
Obviously, the middle aged man didn't know what the Ageless Root was.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and after he casually described the characteristics of the Ageless Root, he waved his hand and drew the Ageless Root on the white paper the middle aged man prepared.
"It's this thing!"
Duan Lingtian looked at the middle aged man and spoke slowly.
"Customer, what reward do you want to offer? The rewards offered in our Treasure Gathering Pavilion don't accept gold or silver, and only accept treasures. "
The middle aged man reminded.
Slap!
With a raise of his hand, a three foot long blade that flickered with an azure light appeared in Duan Lingtian's hand, and he directly slapped it on the counter. "I'll offer this thing."
"Spirit weapon?"
The middle aged man frowned and said, "Customer, our Treasure Gathering Pavilion only accepts spirit weapons above grade five."
"How do you know it doesn't have a grade five spirit weapon?"
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at the middle aged man.
This person didn't even look at the spirit weapon Duan Lingtian had taken out before hastily coming to a conclusion.
The middle aged man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
When he saw Duan Lingtian for the first time, he'd underestimated Duan Lingtian because Duan Lingtian was young.
After all, as far as he was concerned, a young man like Duan Lingtian probably wouldn't be able to take out a spirit weapon above grade five.
But now that he'd seen Duan Lingtian's composure, the middle aged man realized that he might've underestimated Duan Lingtian.
The middle aged man grabbed the spirit sword Duan Lingtian placed on the table and fused his Origin Energy into it.
In an instant.
In the sky above the middle aged man, 6,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared first, and then another 3,500 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared.
"This …"
The middle aged man was dumbstruck when he saw this scene.
The attendant that brought Duan Lingtian in was dumbstruck as well.
Heavens!
What have we seen?
"Increase … An amplification of 59%!"
The attendant fiercely gulped down a mouthful of saliva and had a shocked expression.
"Four … Grade four spirit sword!"
The middle aged man gasped, and the gaze he looked at Duan Lingtian with was completely different.
According to his knowledge.
There seemed to be no grade four Weapons Craftsmen in the Darkstone Empire.
In other words, the grade four spirit sword the young man before him took out was extremely likely to be refined by a grade four Weapons Craftsman of the Darkhan Dynasty.
In the Darkhan Dynasty, there were only a few people that could make a grade four Weapons Craftsman not hesitate to refine a grade four spirit weapon.
Those existences were all the leaders of the various powers of the Darkhan Dynasty.
"This young man isn't simple!"
The middle aged man's heart shook.
"How is it? This thing can be used as a bounty item? "
Duan Lingtian asked indifferently, seeming as if he didn't see the shocked expression on the middle aged man's face.
"Yes, yes … Of course it can!"
The middle aged man hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking for rice, then he recalled how he'd underestimated the young man earlier and was slightly embarrassed.
"Then it's fine."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "Now, help me register it."
"Yes, yes."
The middle aged man didn't dare dally and hurriedly withdrew a jade pendant.
There was an obvious crack in the middle of the jade pendant.
Right when Duan Lingtian was wondering why the middle aged man withdrew a lousy jade pendant.
Slap!
The middle aged man pulled open the jade pendant, leaving half of it behind and giving the other half to Duan Lingtian.
"Customer, the next time you come to our Treasure Gathering Pavilion, no matter if someone completes the bounty, no matter if it's to retrieve your grade four spirit sword or your bounty item … You have to use this token to exchange for it."
The middle aged man had a serious expression as he spoke to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded, and after he received the other half of the jade pendant, he asked. "When do you usually come to confirm it?"
"At least three months. Customer can come and collect it after three months. "
The middle aged man continued.
Because Duan Lingtian had withdrawn a grade four spirit sword, his attitude towards Duan Lingtian had undergone a tremendous change.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded, then asked. "I heard that a certain handling fee is required to post a bounty in your Treasure Gathering Pavilion … I wonder how much I have to pay?"
The middle aged man smiled. "Customer, our Treasure Gathering Pavilion has a rule that if a customer uses a grade four spirit weapon or above as a bounty item, then the handling fee can be waived."
Waive the handling fee?
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
There's such a rule?
With a quick thought, Duan Lingtian came to an understanding.
In the entire Darkhan Dynasty, a grade four spirit weapon was an extremely rare item.
It was understandable that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would take care of a person that was able to take out a grade four spirit weapon as a bounty item.
After all, a grade four spirit weapon usually represented a grade four Weapons Craftsman.
Whereas a grade four Weapons Craftsman was an extremely rare existence in the entire Darkhan Dynasty.
It was even rarer than Void Interpretation Stage experts.
"Then I'll be troubling you."
Duan Lingtian nodded, then he put away the jade pendant in his hand before leaving hastily with the little gold mouse.
After Duan Lingtian left.
The middle aged man heaved a sigh of relief, then he muttered as he looked at the grade four spirit sword before him. "He's willing to take out a grade four spirit weapon as a bounty item … What exactly is the background of that young man?"
Subsequently, the middle aged man raised his head to look at the nearby attendant and said with a low voice, "Quickly report this to the Pavilion Master!"
