Chapter 828 - 826: Bought a Big One on Credit

Chapter 828: Chapter 826: Bought a Big One on Credit

Xu Yang wondered if Liou Xueyan was really going to play such a high-stakes game.

Seeing Xu Yang’s surprised expression, the coldness on Liou Xueyan’s face faded slightly as she smiled. "I’m not doing this entirely to help you. A fair and open battle between Situ Ke and me is inevitable. Stepping over him to reach a higher level will greatly improve my state of mind.

"At the same time, it’s for revenge!"

"Are you confident?" Xu Yang asked.

Although Liou Xueyan had left Situ Ke in a sorry state, the guy was absolutely not to be underestimated. Once the news spread, Situ Ke would definitely make ample preparations.

"Don’t worry," Liou Xueyan smiled calmly.

Xu Yang’s expression turned serious as he said slowly, "In that case, let’s do as you suggested.

"We’ll spread the news in the Void Realm under my name; no one will be surprised that I’m challenging Situ Ke.

"When the time comes, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and the people of Blood Marsh will probably be lurking in the shadows."

After the battle in the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley, the next time Blood Marsh struck, it would definitely not be an ordinary expert at the Early Stage of Golden Immortal. If the Blood Marsh assassins within the stronghold controlled by Heaven’s Edge Tower were also dispatched, it would be even better.

"How many more days do you need?" Xu Yang asked.

"About five days," she replied.

"Alright."

With that, Xu Yang stood up and left.

Liou Xueyan watched as Xu Yang walked out of the courtyard. She only withdrew her gaze when his figure disappeared beyond the gates.

"If I don’t work hard, I’m going to be surpassed by this latecomer," Liou Xueyan thought. "With a Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation... there is still a chance."

She sighed. The hatred she harbored toward Xu Yang had already faded significantly.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures belonged to those with the strength to claim them. Although the Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow was a treasure belonging to the Ice and Snow Immortal Palace, who could they blame when they were the ones who invited the Black Fire Immortal Mountain over? It was just that no one expected a freak like Xu Yang to pop up. She could only blame her own lack of ability for having it taken away.

Meanwhile.

Xu Yang sought out Liou Sanqian once again. Aside from asking for intelligence on the Blood Marsh stronghold, he also planned to buy on credit.

"I need treasures that can significantly enhance the Primordial Spirit in a short period of time, or those that can boost Primordial Spirit attacks like the Star Flow Divine Silks.

"However, I’m afraid I won’t be able to afford them right now, so I’ll have to put it on my tab," Xu Yang said helplessly.

"Hahaha, Heaven’s Edge Tower could ask for nothing more than for Mr. Xu to buy on credit!" Liou Sanqian laughed heartily, not minding at all.

The more credit Xu Yang took out, the better; it would be best if he couldn’t pay it back. That way, he would have to rely on Heaven’s Edge Tower even more.

"Oh, right, I must also congratulate Mr. Xu. Following the battle in the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley, the Dragon and Tiger List has been updated, and you have ranked ninth," Liou Sanqian continued.

"Of course, this ranking is only temporary.

"It will be updated again when Mr. Xu fights other top-tier geniuses in the future.

"The people outside all feel that ranking you ninth is too low, and that you should at least step over Situ Ke."

Xu Yang paused for a moment before shaking his head with a chuckle. "They’re just a bunch of people who love a good spectacle and don’t mind things getting out of hand."

If Heaven’s Edge Pavilion really ranked him above Situ Ke, where would the Vajra Sect and Situ Ke put their pride? It would inevitably lead to a fierce struggle and direct confrontation, turning them into a source of entertainment for the onlookers.

Being ninth was fine.

Half an hour later.

Liou Sanqian brought over several treasures that met Xu Yang’s requirements.

"The Blood Flood Dragon Red Crown," Liou Sanqian introduced. "Shaped like a Blood Red Ganoderma, it was nurtured from the essence of a Blood Flood Dragon Beast at the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal. Place it in the Primordial Spirit Space and wrap your Primordial Spirit around it until it manifests the form of a Blood Flood Dragon before devouring it. It will greatly enhance your Primordial Spirit. With the discount from the Dark Gold Level Heaven’s Edge Order, it costs sixteen million tier-three Immortal Crystals.

"The Golden Immortal Divine Origin Qi contains a trace of a Golden Immortal’s origin. When utilizing a Primordial Spirit Secret Skill, fusing this treasure into it can increase its power by about thirty percent. One wisp costs thirteen million tier-three Immortal Crystals.

"The Holy Source Green Bamboo’s quality can guarantee that a cultivator at the Early Stage of Golden Immortal will have their Primordial Spirit strengthened to rival the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal for the duration of a cup of tea. The aftereffects are minimal, leaving you only slightly weakened. A three-inch section costs twenty-eight million tier-three Immortal Crystals.

"The Five Elements Soul Essence gathers the Five Elements Beast Souls, making it violent and fierce. When casting a Primordial Spirit Secret Skill through the Five Elements Soul Essence, its power can surge by around fifty percent. However, using it this way is too wasteful. Simply using it to elevate the Primordial Spirit is also highly beneficial. It costs thirty million tier-three Immortal Crystals.

"Finally, the Seven-Colored Mystic Womb can be fused into the Primordial Spirit Space. Whenever you unleash a Primordial Spirit Secret Skill, it will be equivalent to three people casting it simultaneously. It can be used three times. The price is one hundred million tier-three Immortal Crystals."

GASP!

Hearing the price of the final treasure, Xu Yang couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath. So expensive! But its effects were truly enticing. Equivalent to three people casting simultaneously.

The main reason he wanted these kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures was for his Heaven Locking Intent. The effects brought about by the Star Flow Divine Silks when casting the Heaven Locking Intent had been truly astonishing. This time, when dealing with the Blood Marsh stronghold, the Heaven Locking Intent would definitely have miraculous effects.

With this item, it would be equivalent to three of him casting the Heaven Locking Intent at the same time. Even a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal would be instantly bound and confined, unable to move a single muscle. Even if there were only three chances to use it, it was worth the one hundred million tier-three Immortal Crystals.

Unfortunately, his pockets were completely empty.

"Mr. Xu, I suggest you buy the Seven-Colored Mystic Womb," Liou Sanqian grinned. "The efficacy of this item cannot be summed up in just a few simple words."

Xu Yang gave a bitter smile. Looking at the pile of treasures in front of him, he wanted all of them. Whatever, since he was already buying on credit, he might as well go all out. The worst-case scenario was that he would just have to slowly pay it back over time.

With that in mind, Xu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "The Holy Source Green Bamboo, the Five Elements Soul Essence, the Thousand-Year Exquisite Marrow, and the Seven-Colored Mystic Womb—I’ll take these four treasures on credit."

Liou Sanqian grinned from ear to ear. "The total comes out to two hundred and sixty-eight million tier-three Immortal Crystals. I’ll round it down to two hundred and sixty million for you."

It was an astronomical figure. Even a genius of Situ Ke’s status wouldn’t be able to fork out that much money on such short notice.

"I hope the Blood Marsh stronghold doesn’t disappoint me," Xu Yang thought. "If worse comes to worst, I can just do some Alchemy for Heaven’s Edge Tower to pay off my debt."

Xu Yang was quite confident in his Alchemy Dao. With his current strength, refining a tier-three low-grade pill would be a breeze with zero difficulty. It was just that Heaven’s Edge Tower didn’t know his identity as a Pill Master yet. Otherwise, they would have treated him with even more enthusiasm.

However, with his status as a Dragon and Tiger Venerable and his Dark Gold Level Heaven’s Edge Order, Heaven’s Edge Tower’s attitude toward him was already at its absolute peak. Even if they knew he was a Pill Master, they would only feel numb to it. Who else could borrow hundreds of millions of tier-three Immortal Crystals on credit in a single breath? Furthermore, looking at the way Liou Sanqian left, it was clear that the man felt he hadn’t borrowed enough.

It left him completely speechless.

"Out of these four treasures, the Five Elements Soul Essence and the Thousand-Year Exquisite Marrow can be used to directly elevate my Primordial Spirit," Xu Yang murmured to himself. "The remaining Holy Source Green Bamboo and Seven-Colored Mystic Womb will be used to cast Secret Techniques. That should be just about enough."

Everything was perfectly prepared; all they needed now was the right opportunity.

The next day.

Xu Yang and Liou Xueyan stepped into the End of the World Illusion Realm together. When she saw the dark gold mystic light enveloping Xu Yang, Liou Xueyan couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"A Dark Gold Level Heaven’s Edge Order," she gasped. "How... how did you get that?"

She had already felt that Heaven’s Edge Tower’s attitude toward Xu Yang was a little too absurd, but she had merely chalked it up to an early investment in a Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation. She never expected that Xu Yang would actually possess a Dark Gold Level Heaven’s Edge Order.

"With a second Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation and being a genius Pill Master, I’m not that much worse than Di Qinghe, am I?" Xu Yang shrugged, choosing not to reveal his identity as a Dragon and Tiger Venerable.

"You’re right about that." Liou Xueyan smiled bitterly. Thinking about it that way, Xu Yang really was qualified to have a Dark Gold Level Heaven’s Edge Order.

"You should probably conceal the mystic light of your Dark Gold Level Heaven’s Edge Order. It’s too eye-catching," she said, absolutely refusing to admit that she was jealous.
