Seated on the throne, Xia Lian wore an exquisite set of red and white mage robes. Although Shifeng did not know what rank the robes were, when they were worn by Xia Lian, not only did they make her look sacred and charming, but the robes also radiated a fierce Divine Might.
Divine Might!
Not just any weapon or piece of equipment could possess Divine Might. It had to be an item that had once been used by a God and had absorbed some of that God's power.
A Legendary mage robe? Shifeng could not help but guess.
Take the Seven Treasures for example. They were artifacts created entirely by Gods, which was why they could radiate Divine Might.
Yet, the robes Xia Lian wore radiated Divine Might. It was obvious that the robes were extraordinary.
After all, many Legendary items did not possess Divine Might.
However, when Shifeng saw Xia Lian's smile and heard Xia Lian's words, he could not help but shudder.
Only then did he recall that Xia Lian possessed a relatively high-level Identification Skill. Even players' bags were useless against her. Moreover, he still had over 10,000 Gold on him …
"What's with that look? Do you think I'm greedy for your 15739 Gold? " Xia Lian's tone was filled with disdain. "It seems like you have a lot more secrets. You've even obtained a treasure fragment. I wonder if Demon God Paimon is mad with rage right now. After all, he spent hundreds of years to seal that treasure."
Shifeng's heart pounded when he heard Xia Lian's nonchalant tone.
The War God's Temple had been searching for the Seven Treasures all this time. Yet, based on Xia Lian's words, she had long since known about the Treasure of Illusion's whereabouts.
"Do you think I'm from the War God's Temple?" As if she had seen through Shifeng's thoughts, Xia Lian chuckled and said, "You've come looking for me because Demon God Paimon wants to retrieve the treasure fragment, right? However, I can only regretfully inform you that even I have no way of hiding from Paimon's detection methods."
"Is there no other way?" Shifeng couldn't help but feel pity.
If he could not block the detection method, then he could only hand it over to the War God Temple. If the Soul Orb was left in the War God Temple, the Demon God would not be able to do anything to it. It would just be a waste of the Soul Orb's effects.
"There is nothing I can do. However, as long as the treasure absorbs enough divine power, it will be able to remove the Demon God's seal. When that happens, the Demon God will not be able to do anything. If you want to keep the treasure fragment in your hands, you'd better hurry up and find more divine crystals. Other than that, no one else can help you. After all, we are just mortals. We cannot fight against the means of a God," Sharlyn said slowly.
"Shenjing?" Shifeng could only smile bitterly.
He, too, wanted a lot of Shenjing because he had several items that needed to absorb divine power. However, Shenjing was extremely rare. Currently, it was definitely rarer than an Epic item. Obtaining even one would be extremely difficult. Yet, to remove the Soul Orb's first seal, he needed ten Shenjing crystals. Where was he supposed to find them?
As if he could see Shifeng's distress, Xia Lian could not help but laugh and say, "Shenjing might be difficult for others to obtain, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"It's not difficult for me? Why is that?" Shifeng asked curiously.
"Five thousand Gold consultation fee," Xia Lian said, smiling as he stretched out his hand.
Shifeng could not help but roll his eyes at Xia Lian. Inwardly, he cursed the man for being black-hearted. However, he still handed over the 5,000 Gold consultation fee.
Shenjing was too important to him. However, he had never found any clues leading to Shenjing.
Xia Lian smiled brightly when he received the 5,000 Gold.
"Actually, it's very simple. Don't you have the Ancient Document on you? As long as you search the Ancient Document, you'll naturally find clues about Shenjing. " Xia Lian waved his hand, and the Ancient Document inside Shifeng's Spatial Bag appeared before Shifeng. "Of course, this is only one of the clues you'll need to find Shenjing. The other one is the most important.
"Now that you've reached Level 50, you can consider your Tier 2 promotion. Moreover, I suggest that you complete your promotion as soon as possible. You don't have much time left."
Shifeng originally wanted to vomit blood and curse. Of course, he knew that the Ancient Document had such an ability. After all, he had obtained it from the Auction House after much difficulty. However, the Ancient Document could only provide a single clue to Shenjing. He needed at least ten of them. Moreover, he had other important uses for the Ancient Document. Using it on Shenjing would be a waste.
"What does Shenjing have to do with my Tier 2 promotion?" Shifeng asked.
He only needed to complete his Tier 2 Promotion Quest. Meanwhile, Shenjing was an item used by a God. There was no necessary connection between the two.
"Have you forgotten that you obtained one of the Ten Great Saint Legacies?" Xia Lian smiled as he took out an Ancient Document. "This Ancient Document contains information about the Ten Great Saint Legacies. Every time you complete your Promotion Quest, you'll be sent to a different space-time. Moreover, these space-times are all ruins left behind by Ancient Gods. There will definitely be items used by Ancient Gods. Hence, it won't be difficult for you to find Shenjing."
Hearing Xia Lian's words, Shifeng recalled the Eternal Courtyard he had seen in the Origin Sword Domain. Indeed, an Ancient God had once lived there. Moreover, he had also discovered the Holy Grail there.
However, his strength had been limited back then, and the places he could explore were limited. Just completing the quest alive had been difficult. Obtaining Shenjing's Holy Grail had been pure luck.
Moreover, just as Xia Lian had said, the sooner he completed his Tier 2 Promotion Quest, the better. That way, he would have a lot more time to do things. Once he completed his Promotion Quest, he would be able to travel to many places and obtain treasures sooner.
"Lord Xia Lian, may I know how I should complete my Promotion Quest?" Shifeng asked.
He had used a Legacy item to complete his Promotion Quest. However, his Legacy item had already disappeared, so he had no clue where to complete his Promotion Quest. If it were a normal Promotion Quest, he could simply visit the library or the War God's Temple's high-tiered instructors. However, these high-tiered instructors were useless for a hidden class's Tier 2 Promotion Quest. He needed the guidance of a Legacy item.
"I can send you there. Last time, it was a friendly price. This time, it'll be 10,000 Gold and 188 Mana Stones," Sharlyn said, extending her hand to Shi Feng. She could not help but reveal an expression as if she wanted to take advantage of Shi Feng.
Shifeng wanted to say, "Why don't you just rob a bank?"
Other players only needed to pay 50 Gold to complete their Tier 2 Promotion Quest, yet Shi Feng needed not only 10,000 Gold but 188 Mana Stones as well. Even if he had the Philosopher's Stone, he would still need 9,400 Magic Crystals to complete his Tier 2 Promotion Quest. Which player could possibly afford such a price?
If it were any other player, they wouldn't even be able to complete their Promotion Quest once they reached Level 100.
"I'm already offering you a generous price. If you were looking for someone else, not only would they need to be Tier 5 magical classes, but you'd also need three of them. Who knows how much you'd have to pay just to convince those three NPCs? Ten thousand Gold is already very little," Xia Lian explained.
"Alright, then. However, I don't have that many Mana Stones on hand right now. I still need to make some preparations." When Shifeng heard that he needed three Tier 5 magical class NPCs to complete his Promotion Quest, he immediately understood that this Promotion Quest would not be simple. Most likely, aside from an NPC like Xia Lian, only a handful of NPCs could complete the Promotion Quest.
Following which, Shifeng left the library and made his way to Candlelight.
