Seeing that Jianchen was actually willing to buy this ornamental item that was worth thirty thousand purple coins, even the shopkeeper, who was used to seeing powerful people from all over the world, was clearly stunned. In the entire Fengyang City, there were quite a few people who could take out thirty thousand purple coins, but the number of people who were willing to spend so much money to buy this piece of wood that could only be used as an ornamental item could be counted on one hand. At the very least, this piece of wood had been in his possession for many years now. During that time, there were quite a few people who were interested in this piece of wood, but without exception, these people were all scared away by the exorbitant price.
Thirty thousand purple coins was not a small amount. This amount of money was enough to raise a group of strong men of sacrifice for the clan, which could be used to strengthen the clan's power. As a result, no one was willing to spend such a large amount of money to buy this piece of wood that was completely useless in their eyes.
The shopkeeper looked at Jianchen in disbelief. With an excited tone, he asked, "Young master, are you sure you want to buy this piece of wood? We'll sell this piece of wood for thirty thousand purple coins! " The shopkeeper was afraid that Jianchen had misheard the price, so he emphasized the words "thirty thousand purple coins".
Jianchen directly took out a purple gold card from his Space Ring and said, "Let's settle the bill. From now on, this piece of wood is mine."
When Jianchen took out the purple gold card, the shopkeeper also noticed the ring on his finger. His eyes suddenly narrowed and he cried out in disbelief, "S-Space Ring." Suddenly, the shopkeeper's gaze towards Jianchen underwent a huge change. A Space Ring was an extremely expensive storage item on the Tian Yuan Continent. It was not as cheap as a Space Belt and was extremely rare. Normally, only people with extremely high statuses or extremely powerful abilities had the right to wear such a ring. At the very least, in a second class city like Fengyang City, there were only four people who had the right to wear such a ring. Without exception, these four people all had extraordinary statuses. One of them was the mayor of Fengyang City, while the other three were the leaders of the three great clans.
Previously, the shopkeeper had only thought of Jianchen as the young master of a wealthy family in Fengyang City. However, after seeing the Space Ring on Jianchen's finger, he completely overturned this thought. From the ring, the shopkeeper could already guess that this young man's identity was definitely not as simple as he thought.
This was because a Space Ring proved one's identity much better than a purple gold card. Anyone who could wear a Space Ring could not be underestimated.
For a moment, the shopkeeper's attitude towards Jianchen's group became extremely respectful. With a charming smile, he served them with a fawning expression.
The thirty thousand purple coins were quickly settled. The shopkeeper placed the purple gold card back in front of Jianchen and said with a charming smile, "Esteemed young master, this is your card. Please keep it well. This piece of wood now belongs to you, young master."
Jianchen calmly accepted the purple gold card. With a wave of his hand, he put the one meter tall piece of Dragonphoenix Wood into his Space Ring.
"Jianchen … y-y-y-y-you really spent thirty thousand purple coins on this piece of wood?" Tower stared at the scene with his mouth agape. His heart ached so much that he wanted to die. That was 30,000 purple coins! What a huge amount of wealth! He had actually used it to buy this useless piece of wood.
With the Dragonphoenix Wood in hand, he had another set of materials for the Azulet swords. He was also one step closer to forging the swords. This made Jianchen extremely happy. He gently smiled, "This piece of wood is exactly what I need. Its value is beyond what you can imagine. It's worth this price!" Jianchen spoke of the Dragonphoenix Wood's value without any hesitation. Now that the Dragonphoenix Wood was in his hands, there was no chance of anything going wrong. There was no need to worry about anyone trying to steal it.
"Esteemed young master, I can tell with a single glance that you are someone who knows the value of goods. I am also very curious about the origins of this piece of wood. I wonder if young master can explain a thing or two to me. What is the use of this piece of wood? It would be good for me to broaden my horizons." The shopkeeper humbly asked for guidance.
Jianchen chuckled, "Shopkeeper, didn't you say before that this piece of wood was brought out from a great impasse? Since you already know, why bother asking?"
"I- this …" The shopkeeper immediately became speechless. Earlier, when he said that this piece of wood was obtained from a great secret realm, it was indeed fabricated out of thin air. He only wanted to increase the value of this piece of wood. However, he never thought that he would actually meet someone who knew the value of the wood today.
The shopkeeper dryly laughed and hurriedly changed the topic, "Esteemed young master, our Thousand Hands Workshop still has many exquisite carvings. Why don't you choose again? There will definitely be something that will satisfy you."
After a moment of thought, Jianchen communicated with the sword spirits through his mind, "Ziying, Qing Suo, are there any other precious items here?"
"Master, there's only a piece of Dragonphoenix Wood here. It's very precious, but we never thought that it would actually appear on the Tian Yuan Continent. Has it come here before?" Ziying said in thought.
Jianchen could not help but feel a little disappointed after learning that there were no other precious items here apart from the Dragonphoenix Wood. He soon lost interest in staying there. He ignored the shopkeeper's persuasion and left with Ming Dong and the others.
"Jianchen, I don't believe that you would spend such a high price on a piece of useless wood. Just what is so special about this piece of wood? Why can't I see anything special about it?" Ming Dong eagerly asked as soon as they left the Thousand Hands Workshop.
Jianchen said, "This piece of wood is actually called Dragonphoenix Wood. I don't know its exact origins, but it's an extremely precious item. It's extremely helpful to me as well. It's one of the essential materials for forging weapons."
"What? Forging weapons?" Ming Dong stared at Jianchen in surprise. He asked in confusion, "Jianchen, what did you just say? Forging weapons? Don't tell me that with your strength, you still need these weapons made of materials? "
You Yue and Tie Ta also looked at Jianchen curiously when they heard that. Forging weapons was an extremely rare term on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Jianchen said, "I don't know how to answer that question right now, so let's not talk about it for now. Let's continue strolling around and see if we can find any heavenly resources that can help Xiao Bai."
…
There was a huge estate to the south of Fengyang City. This was where one of the three great clans of Fengyang City, the Heiming clan, resided.
At this moment, a pale-faced young man lay on a bed in an extremely luxurious room of the Heiming clan. His forehead was covered in sweat as if he was in great pain.
A middle-aged man in white robes slowly pulled back his hand. He tiredly said to a stern-looking middle-aged man behind him, "Patriarch, the second young master's injuries are very heavy. I can't heal him in one go as a Radiant Saint Master. I need to treat him a few more times."
This stern-looking middle-aged man was none other than the patriarch of the Heiming clan.
The patriarch of the Heiming clan nodded and said, "Esteemed grandmaster Chuck, you can go and rest."
After grandmaster Chuck left, the patriarch of the Heiming clan came to the window and asked in a deep voice, "Jian 'er, who injured you?"
"Father, you have to avenge me …" The young man then told his father about the conflict he had with Jianchen and the others in the restaurant, completely pushing all the blame onto Jianchen and the others.
Hearing the young man's words, the patriarch of the Heiming clan furrowed his brows. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Heavenly Phoenix Auction House is about to sell a Class 5 Monster Core. During this period of time, Fengyang City will become very restless. Let's put this matter aside for now. We'll talk about it again after the commotion caused by the Class 5 Monster Core passes. Also, the dragons of Fengyang City will be gathering in the next few days.
"Father, are we really going to let those bastards off so easily? I was humiliated by them in front of so many people. If our Heiming Clan doesn't do anything, how will the people of Phoenix Sun City view us? How will our Heiming Clan still have the face to be called one of the three great clans?" The young man said indignantly.
"Alright, don't say anymore. I'll take care of this matter. However, this is a very special time. We can't let new problems crop up. You should take care of your injuries first." After he finished speaking, the patriarch of the Heiming clan turned around and left.
In another courtyard of Fengyang City, the woman in red was sitting in front of her window with a contemplative expression. She muttered, "I didn't think that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House would actually auction a Class 5 Monster Core at this time. The allure of a Class 5 Monster Core is very great. When the time comes, a fierce battle will be unavoidable. The Yun family will also be unable to take care of themselves. This is a good opportunity for me. However, I must avenge my mother's blood."
Suddenly, the woman in the red dress recalled the scene in the restaurant and muttered, "Who are those people? Judging from their extraordinary temperaments, they should be members of a large family. Moreover, their status is not low. Moreover, they are so strong that they don't fear the Black Underworld Family." As she spoke to this point, the woman in the red dress suddenly fell silent. Her eyes flickered with uncertainty.
After a long while, the woman in red once again muttered in a low voice, "If necessary, perhaps I can borrow their hands to destroy the Yun family …"
Jianchen and the others strolled around Fengyang City for a while. Only in the evening did they return to the inn to rest in exhaustion. During the day, they had walked through countless streets and visited countless shops. However, apart from the Dragon-Phoenix Wood, they didn't find anything else. Let alone a thousand-year-old heavenly resource, there wasn't even a 500-year-old one in the entire city.
Late at night, Jianchen sat cross-legged on his bed and cultivated. However, he didn't absorb the energy within the Monster Cores to refine Chaotic Force. Instead, he comprehended the Yuan Qi of the world. Comprehending the Yuan Qi of the world was a path that had to be taken to become a Saint Ruler. There were no shortcuts. Only when one's comprehension of the Yuan Qi of the world reached the limit could they come into contact with the mysteries of the world.
As the White Tiger didn't have any heavenly resources to enjoy, it didn't sleep as usual in the pitch-black night. Instead, it rolled around on the soft bed in boredom. Its sharp claws had already torn the blanket to shreds. It was having a lot of fun.
At this moment, the little white tiger suddenly stopped playing. Its pair of small eyes suddenly became extremely bright. In the pitch-black room, it was like a bright lamp as it stared intently at the window.
The tightly shut window was silently opened, and a black shadow shot in from the outside like lightning, silently landing in the room.
