Chapter 867 - Serious Old Jiang
Chapter 867: Serious Old Jiang
The auction was over, and all the items were delivered to him. However, there was one thing that they didn’t win: the buffalo that Mu Ling bought.
At this moment, Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang were studying the buffalo curiously.
Luo Xiaobai, however, summoned the Blue Cannibal Flower and extended its root into the sea anemone. Very soon, the sea anemone was dried up.
As for the Hollow Nether Fish, it had already gone stealth, probably because it had been still for a long time. Han Fei tried the Eyes of True Vision and didn’t see anything. He didn’t detect the Hollow Nether Fish with his senses either.
In such a way, Han Fei finally confirmed the value of the Hollow Nether Fish.
Han Fei asked, “Xiaobai, I remember that you had a stealthy jellyfish as your contractual spiritual beast.”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “I’ll cancel the contract immediately. The stealthy jellyfish doesn’t work very well. The Hollow Nether Fish is more valuable to a manipulator even than a legendary contractual spiritual beast is.”
Therefore, Luo Xiaobai contracted the Hollow Nether Fish on the spot.
Han Fei remembered that Luo Xiaobai had contracted a Divine Seaweed Octopus back in the wall of seaweed. She always had high standards about her contractual spiritual beasts.
About ten minutes later, the Hollow Nether Fish successfully became Luo Xiaobai’s contractual spiritual beast. Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang, on the other hand, were examining the buffaloes’ horns on its back.
Zhang Xuanyu asked in a low voice, “What do you think the horns are made of? If we knock them off and ask Han Fei to refine them, can they be crafted into Divine weapons?”
Le Renkuang shook his head. “I don’t think so. If these could be materials for a Divine weapon, how could they have been sold for several hundred thousand high-quality pearls?”
Zhang Xuanyu remarked, “That’s true! I don’t think we bought anything at the auction.”
Le Renkuang said in disdain, “We’re too poor. But that’s alright. Han Fei is rich.”
Zhang Xuanyu quickly nodded, showing his agreement with Le Renkuang’s words.
Han Fei was lost for words. “If you’re trying to rip me off, would you please at least communicate telepathically?”
Zhang Xuanyu chuckled and jumped off from the buffalo. “I don’t know what this thing is exactly, but its materials don’t seem very good. The only things mysterious about it are the messy lines and words.”
Han Fei stepped forward and stored the buffalo into Forge the Universe, before he pushed them forward. “Let’s go back to the Scattered Stars Island and continue training! You two held us back on this trip. You almost got killed.”
“Sir, please wait a moment.”
When Han Fei was about to leave, a waiter stopped him.
Han Fei frowned. “What’s wrong?”
The waiter said, “Sir, this is the first time you’ve come to the auction field of the Pearl Diver’s Port. According to our rules, you will permanently have a free private room here after you spend more than a million high-quality pearls.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “I can not understand businessmen like you. Is a permanent free private room really something? Do we look like we can’t pay a thousand high-quality pearls?”
The waiter was slightly embarrassed. He thought to himself, That’s just the way that my auction field attracts big clients!
Luo Xiaobai accepted the privilege card from the waiter and glared at Zhang Xuanyu, who seemed too arrogant for someone who had so little money.
Of course, that was just a minor incident. Han Fei’s attention had already been focused on the Twisted Jungle.
...
On the Scattered Stars Island.
After Han Fei came back, he said to Luo Xiaobai and the others, “You can get back to your business. There’s something I must do.”
Luo Xiaobai nodded slightly. “Okay.”
Zhang Xuanyu said, “Han Fei, is it about the underground city? Are you sure the news about the underground city is true?”
Han Fei said casually, “Whether or not it’s true, I have to learn more about it.”
Le Renkuang shouted, “Don’t be too fast! Wait for me. I’m planning to make a breakthrough first. After my breakthrough, I’ll go to the Wind Sky Canyon and get a pair of wings.”
Han Fei rolled his eyes. “There’s no need to rush. I don’t think it will be useful without enough Sea Tokens even if we go there.”
...
Saying goodbye to Luo Xiaobai and the others, Han Fei flew right towards the Twisted Jungle. This time, he ignored the arrays that Old Jiang set up.
All the venomous grasses and worms on the way were simply crushed.
The tricky arrays that Old Jiang set up were simply destroyed by Han Fei with violence. He didn’t have time to come up with solutions at all.
Considering Old Jiang’s personality, he would only increase the difficulty of the arrays every time he passed them.
It never occurred to Old Jiang that Han Fei was never predictable. So, when Han Fei broke through the arrays, Old Jiang was so pissed that his beard was almost flying.
Old Jiang yelled, “What a short-tempered and inconsiderate guy! He could crack the arrays quickly. Does he have to be so hasty?”
Tang Ge raised his head in surprise. “Senior, is Han Fei here?”
Old Jiang said angrily, “Stay focused. Don’t get distracted.”
A moment later, Han Fei broke in and cried, “Old man, a major discovery! Is Sister Qin not back yet?”
Old Jiang snorted heavily. “You’ll rearrange all my arrays when you go! Did you see how many creatures you killed on your way here?”
Han Fei ignored Old Jiang and looked at Tang Ge in surprise. “Huh? You’re here too, Tang Ge?”
“Humph!”
The heavy snort echoed in the air, and Tang Ge had to concentrate his attention under the shock.
Han Fei even suspected that the furnace would explode again.
Han Fei mumbled, “We’ll talk later. You should focus on alchemy, which is even more dangerous than refining. Your furnace might explode anytime.”
Old Jiang glanced at Han Fei and said, “What are you so hasty about? Is it because you got a Wind God Pearl?”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “Huh? How did you know that?”
Old Jiang said in disdain, “Do you even need to ask? How can Xiao Qin not know the appearance of a Wind God Pearl? However, I’m told you’ve been close to a girl at the Empyrean Waterfall. What’s that about?”
Han Fei sniffed. “It’s completely under control. Do you not know what a decent man I am?”
“Do you have any decency at all?”
Han Fei: “...”
Han Fei said gloomily, “Enough chit chat. I’ve learned something about the Bone Yard.”
Old Jiang’s hands slightly shivered. Then, he asked solemnly, “Where is it? Xiao Qin has been searching for a long time, to no avail. Did you find something?”
Tang Ge pricked his ears. Bone Yard? What’s that place?
Han Fei said, “Old Jiang, have you ever heard about the underground city?”
“Huh?”
Old Jiang was rarely grave. “It’s a collapsed land... On the Scattered Stars Island, there’s a legend that an ancient city is buried somewhere at the bottom of the sea. People almost turned the island upside down to find the underground city, but they never found anything. Is your information accurate?”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes, I think so.”
While talking, Han Fei summoned a Sea Token in each hand, which made Old Jiang’s eyelids twitch. “You’ve got another one?”
Old Jiang slowly rose from his chair and paced back and forth on the open ground. A moment later, he said, “You cook first. I’ll call Xiao Qin back.”
Han Fei was lost for words. You’re asking me to cook when there’s something so important to do?
However, seeing that Old Jiang was considering something, Han Fei didn’t ask further but leaned closer to Tang Ge. “What are you making this time? Right, Mu Ling did me a favor three days ago. You should thank her for me sometime!”
BAM!
The furnace exploded, and the black smoke inside darkened the faces of Tang Ge and Han Fei.
Tang Ge looked back at Old Jiang, only to find that the old man didn’t seem bothered at all. He was still pacing back and forth thoughtfully.
Han Fei secretly dragged Tang Ge to the kitchen and complained, “Why does your furnace keep exploding? I’m still waiting for your products.”
Tang Ge smiled helplessly. “The path of alchemy is extremely complicated. I’m now finally a two-star alchemist. There’s still a long way to go...”
He suddenly asked, “What is the Bone Yard? Where is the underground city?”
Han Fei was going to talk, when Old Jiang snorted and said, “Don’t ask so many questions yet. Tang Ge, you should stop studying alchemy and focus on increasing your strength. Han Fei, you should also prepare as many spiritual fruits as possible.”
Suddenly, the protection barriers shivered.
Jiang Qin’s voice came through, “Not just that. Han Fei, can you craft Divine weapons? Maybe single-use ones?”
Han Fei was surprised that Jiang Qin had come back so quickly.
He knew that the underground city was probably very dangerous, or Old Jiang and Jiang Qin wouldn’t have been so serious.
Han Fei suggested, “What about single-use Semi-Divine weapons? I don’t have enough materials for more!”
Jiang Qin was dazed for a moment. “Do they exist?”
Han Fei nodded. “All that matters is how you craft them. I think it’s possible to make one-time Semi-Divine weapons, but they won’t be too powerful.”
Old Jiang said, “If we don’t have Divine weapons, we’ll have to make do with Semi-Divine weapons. We don’t have a choice.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but stand in place and ask, “Old Jiang, Sister Qin, is the underground city really so dangerous?”
Jiang Qin nodded deeply. “It’s even more dangerous than our description... I always thought... Never mind, keep the information to yourselves, and try to strengthen yourselves as much as possible.”
