"What?" Xiao Chen was about to leave, but when he heard this, his body suddenly trembled, and he asked Elder Zhang for more details.
"Fine, I'll tell you. That Old Ghost used all of his wealth and paid a huge price to exchange for the Moruo Fruit. He knew that he was running out of time, and as his only disciple, he hoped that you could inherit his legacy after he passed away. That old thing usually cares about his reputation, and he's not good with words, but he's actually very sentimental!"
"Unfortunately, he's too unlucky this time!"
Elder Zhang shook his head, and his tone was full of helplessness.
"Master Ghost, he …" Xiao Chen suddenly did not know what to say.
The Moruo Fruit's value was definitely not comparable to the Holy Immortal Fruit, but there were not many in the sect.
Although Elder Ghost and Elder Zhang's status in the sect was slightly higher than the ordinary elders, in reality, it was not that high.
The Moruo Fruit itself was definitely not easy to obtain, but he definitely did not expect that Elder Ghost would use all of his wealth to obtain it for him.
"Alright, don't be so sentimental, kid. You just need to learn from him in the future, and let that old thing die a little more peacefully! Remember what I told you, don't show anything in front of him. He's a person who cares about his reputation, understand? "Elder Zhang scolded as he looked at Xiao Chen.
"Yes, disciple understands, disciple will take his leave first!" Xiao Chen nodded, and then immediately left.
After returning to his courtyard, Xiao Chen sat in his room, his eyes flashing with an indescribable expression.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen asked Donghuang Zhong in a low voice, "Xiao Zhong, do you think the Celestial Treasure Pavilion is reliable?"
"Brother Xiao, are you planning to sell the Holy Immortal Fruit to the Celestial Treasure Pavilion and then treat Elder Ghost's illness?" Donghuang Zhong immediately understood what Xiao Chen was thinking.
"Yes! However, Master said that the value of the Holy Celestial Fruit is too great. If news of it were to spread, even the Southern Spirit Celestial Sect would be in danger of being annihilated. If I were to take it out directly, I'm not sure if the Celestial Treasure Pavilion would take the risk as well! "Xiao Chen did not hide anything and spoke frankly.
"Sigh, Big Brother Xiao, I know your temper, so I won't say much. From my point of view, I don't want you to use the Holy Deity Fruit to treat Elder Gui, because the things that can be exchanged for a Holy Deity Fruit is enough for Big Brother Xiao to continue cultivating peacefully!" Donghuang Zhong sighed helplessly.
"Ghost Master has sacrificed so much for me. It would have been fine if I didn't have the ability to save him, but now that I have a Holy Celestial Fruit, how can I just watch him leave in a few months? The value of the Holy Celestial Fruit is great, but if it wasn't for the two Masters who fought for me to be the first to enter the Cloud Secret Land, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Holy Celestial Fruit! "Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with determination.
"It's because of the two Masters that I was able to obtain the Holy Celestial Fruit. There's nothing wrong with using it to save my Masters. Moreover, apart from the Holy Celestial Fruit, I've also obtained many other benefits. I'm already satisfied!"
He was not a heartless person. If it was someone else, they would definitely not be willing to use the Holy Celestial Fruit to save someone else's life.
After all, a Holy Celestial Fruit was enough for an ordinary Celestial like him to obtain an unimaginably terrifying amount of resources. It was enough for him to grow into a powerful Celestial. However, Xiao Chen could not just sit back and watch Elder Gui die in a few months.
Obviously, Donghuang Zhong knew Xiao Chen's personality very well. He did not say anything further and said, "The Celestial Treasure Pavilion … There shouldn't be any problems in terms of credibility. However, I can't guarantee something like the Holy Celestial Fruit. However, the possibility of them doing something behind the scenes is very small. Big Brother Xiao, you still need to take some precautions!"
"How?" Xiao Chen frowned. He did not have any powerful background at the moment.
"When you were in the Cloud Secret Land, didn't Big Brother Xiao get to know the manager of the Heaven Secret Pavilion? As long as you find a suitable opportunity to show off a little during the transaction, it'll be a form of insurance! "Donghuang Zhong suggested.
"Chen Hao? Can he do it? "Xiao Chen did not quite understand.
"It's not about whether he can do it or not, but he represents the Heaven Secret Pavilion! The Celestial Treasure Pavilion and the Heaven Secret Pavilion are both the most mysterious forces in the Immortal World. However, the way they do things is completely different. Moreover, the Celestial Treasure Pavilion has been the most powerful force in the Immortal World for countless years. Who knows how many people have been trying to create a scandal behind the scenes. If the Celestial Treasure Pavilion really does something behind the scenes, and the Heaven Secret Pavilion has such information, they will definitely sell it to those who need it. When the time comes, if the Celestial Treasure Pavilion really does something behind the scenes, they won't be able to get anything out of it! "Donghuang Zhong analyzed rationally.
"So, I still have to take a risk?" Xiao Chen asked softly.
"Yes, there's no other way. After all, the Holy Celestial Fruit is too valuable. Big Brother Xiao, you are too weak. If you want to deal with something like the Holy Celestial Fruit, you have to take some risks!" Donghuang Zhong said mercilessly.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, weakness is the original sin!" Xiao Chen understood what Donghuang Zhong meant.
This world was cruel and merciless. Without strength, even if you obtained something good, you didn't have the right to own it or protect it.
"If Big Brother Xiao, you have really made up your mind, I suggest that you don't trade in Southwind City!" Donghuang Zhong said again.
"Why is that?" Xiao Chen was puzzled. After all, he had a good impression of the manager of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion in the city.
"Southwind City is a relatively weak city after all. The branch of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion doesn't have much authority here. If you really want to sell the Holy Celestial Fruit, they have to report it to the higher-ups. Not to mention that this process is a waste of time, there's also no way to talk to the higher-ups directly from here. In the end, the benefits will be much less after going through the layers of connections. If you go directly to a bigger branch, you might have the opportunity to talk to the higher-ups directly. At that time, the value of the Holy Celestial Fruit will be much higher than in Southwind City!"
At this time, Donghuang Zhong fully displayed his understanding of the Immortal World.
