Chapter 288 – Xiao Wei
The trade fair was bustling with noise and excitement. An ocean of people packed the entire square, causing it to look like a food market. Every single person here was a great warrior, and the weakest was at least a Late Heavenly Core warrior. Divine Core warriors could be found in every corner of the square.
For the Fragrant Sky City, any of the people here was someone they would have to admire. This showed the difference between territories. Each place had its own way of supporting its own inhabitants, there were numerous territories in the Saint Origin Realm, and the thickness of the natural Yuan energy differed a lot in each one. This was the main reason why those from one place had higher a cultivation level than those from another.
The first day passed, it was a free and unconstrained day for Jiang Chen, Han Yan and Big Yellow. Aside from the broken King Weapon and the broken bronze plate, they didn’t find anything interesting.
Even at night time, everyone in the square were still busy, and the trading between warriors was still ongoing. Since the people here were all great warriors, none of them had any problems with their eyesight. That’s why they could see all the items clearly, even though it was dark.
“Little Chen, everything here is just trash. We’ve wandered around for an entire day, but nothing special caught our eyes.”
Han Yan was not in a good mood.
“What do you expect? The real treasures can only be found in the auction in two days. Look, none of the people from the Blissful Manor are here to maintain the trade fair’s order.”
Big Yellow said.
“Precisely. The Blissful Manor doesn’t even put the trade fair in the square in their mind. Master Blissful is only focusing on the auction. An auction of such an enormous scale will definitely bring unimaginable profit for Master Blissful.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head in approval. Master Blissful was a smart man, he would never waste his time on a trade fair like this.
“Little Chen, do you think we can find the Nine Solar Holy Water in the auction that comes in two days?”
Han Yan asked.
“I have no idea.”
Jiang Chen shook his head. The Nine Solar Holy Water was his main purpose for coming here, and he was much more impatient regarding that than Han Yan was.
“So what should we do now? We can’t just monkey around here all day, right?”
Big Yellow said. He was bored.
“Let’s go to the manor, we’ll find a place to rest and just wait for the auction in two days.”
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and started walking toward the manor. There was nothing to see in this trade fair which looked like a food market. Ordinary treasures couldn’t catch Jiang Chen’s interest, and if anyone possesses real precious treasures, they wouldn’t sell it here, they would auction it away in two days.
Jiang Chen also wanted to use these two days to improve his cultivation. After absorbing the Flood Dragon’s blood essence, his Dragon Transformation skill had evolved, and it also gave him a total of 1,600 Dragon Marks, which allowed him to break through to the Mid Divine Core realm. He wanted to spend these two days on absorbing more demon souls and strengthen his cultivation base.
His conflict with Mao Sheng made Jiang Chen realize a fact; with his current combat strength, he was still no match for a Combat Soul warrior. Since he had offended the Qingyi Sect, once the trade fair ended in two days, Mao Sheng would definitely attack him.
Although Old Man Ling Shan was willing to help him, Jiang Chen didn’t like putting his face in the hands of someone else. Furthermore, the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan were both his enemies as well. He was potentially under fire from all directions. Therefore, increasing his combat strength was the number one priority right now.
The Blissful Manor was a gigantic place, it nearly occupied the entire center region of the island. The gigantic manor was brilliantly illuminated throughout the night, and rows of luxuriously decorated courtyards could be seen everywhere.
With both hands behind his back, Jiang Chen walked toward the Blissful Manor’s main gate. There were four gates leading to the manor, and the gate Jiang Chen was approaching was the one closest to the square. No guards were in sight.
“Not a single guard here?”
Han Yan said.
“During the trade fair, they don’t need to put any guards out here. Furthermore, no one is dumb enough to cause trouble in the Blissful Manor.”
Jiang Chen replied with a smile. After that, he continued walking toward the manor.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Chen and Han Yan saw a beautiful girl gracefully walking toward them. The girl had a soft and curvy body, and her face was very seductive. This was the pretty mermaid who had earlier appeared outside the Blissful Island.
She wasn’t in her usual mermaid form right now, she looked like a perfectly normal human. When the girl saw Jiang Chen, she quickly walked in front of him, and a smile blossomed onto her face.
“Young master Chen Jiang.”
The girl slightly bowed toward Jiang Chen, then she said, “My name is Xiao Wei. I wonder if there’s anything I can do for young master Chen Jiang?”
Clearly, Xiao Wei was showing some interest in this handsome young man. As a demon beast herself, she loved a man with a wild nature. Jiang Chen’s behavior yesterday was not only wild, it was also incredibly fierce. When he struck, he killed. Xiao Wei had never seen such a resolute characteristic on any young genius, this had made her impression of Jiang Chen really good.
“Miss Xiao Wei, while waiting for the auction to begin in two days, we need to find a quiet place to cultivate. I wonder, could Miss Xiao Wei help us with this? Just let me know how many Earth Restoration Pills I need to pay.”
Jiang Chen straightforwardly said.
“For any other person, it would cost ten Earth Restoration Pills to stay a night here. But, young master Chen Jiang is special. Not only does Xiao Wei like you, even Master Blissful likes you. Therefore, no matter how long young master Chen Jiang wants to stay here, we won’t take a single pill from you. Please follow Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei will bring young master Chen Jiang to a quiet place.”
Xiao Wei replied with a smile. After that, she turned around and began walking toward the inner area of the manor.
