Novel Full Chapter 584 - Condition
"Young Friend, you must try it. The tea I have prepared is one of the best in the whole region. Not just anyone can afford this luxury even if you have the wealth to do so." Wildscale Chieftain smiled as she spoke these words, sipping some of the tea at the same time.
Jin Rou lifted the teacup and smelled it. Then, he took a sip of the tea sighing, "Good tea."
He was not bluffing. The chieftain truly said the real words, this was one of the best tea that he ever had tasted. He was a fanatic of tea, so he had high standards for this.
"It is called Marro Yellow Tea. It is made from the most ancient tree that couldn't be approached by just anyone." The chieftain chuckled, "Now we can talk about the main issue."
She paused for a moment before saying, "Young Friend, I seek for your cooperation about a major issue."
Hearing this, Jin Rou asked, "Is it about the item buried deep within which is losing its sealing array?"
Wildscale Chieftain widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, "How did you know?"
She never expected that he could guess it outright.
"Just counted with my fingers." Jin Rou smirked, "Also, it's not difficult to guess it."
Of course, the chieftain didn't believe him. Nevertheless, she didn't pry any further. Every expert had their own secrets, "Since Young Friend already knew the reason, it will be a lot easier to explain."
The chieftain took another sip of tea before explaining the details, "You are right. As you have said, the sealing array of that item is weakening and is in danger of seeing the light once again. We cannot afford to have it appear above here. After all, it will drive all powerhouses in this realm crazy. A bloody war will happen just for a single item."
Jin Rou agreed, "Indeed, with the capabilities of that item, it is surely something that even super powerhouses will do everything to get it."
"That's why I'm asking for your cooperation, Young Friend." The chieftain said, "All you have to do is strengthen the sealing array, so that the item won't have the chance to be seen above."
"I have two questions before I answer." Jin Rou pondered for a moment, "Why are you asking me, someone who isn't familiar with you and the tribe? And what is in it for me if I successfully sealed it again?"
"For your first question, It's just a sudden judgment. After all, you have already known that item. I also have a good understanding with people, I know that you are more trustworthy than those other tribes with motives." Wildscale Chieftain smiled and answered the questions sincerely, "And for the second question, don't worry. My Wildscale Tribe will be generous with the rewards. You just have to say the word and we will get it for you. Of course, as long as it is within our reach."
"Honestly, I'm not moved. I have enough treasures for my own use." Jin Rou shook his head, "Unless you can name me a reward which can move me, this deal is off."
The chieftain almost choked her words. She totally forgot that he was an expert that couldn't be underestimated. She was silly in that part that she even boasted generous rewards. She took a breath and asked, "Then Young Friend, if treasures will not move you, how about information?"
The Wildscale Tribe was not only good in combat, they were also one of the best when it came to intel. Their connections were so wide that it couldn't be underestimated.
"Information, huh?" Jin Rou's interest was piqued, "Alright, I want to know something about the Clan of Mermaids."
"The Clan of Mermaids, they are the governor of the entire region that everyone looks up. Although the name sounds silly, they are very strong that our Wildscale Tribe cannot resist." Wildscale Chieftain explained, "Recently, there are minor movements from their clan. I heard that they abducted a human girl with an unusual treasure-type body. It was said that they will use the girl for a sacrificial ceremony."
Hearing this, Jin Rou's blood turned cold and asked, "Do you know when it will be?"
"It will be on the third day from now." The chieftain felt the abnormal change of Jin Rou. She could feel herself freezing in cold but didn't show it.
"Do you have a teleportation scroll that will take me to their place?" Jin Rou asked.
"This, I have. But we have only three of this. And each has us expended so much resources to get." The chieftain answered. Teleportation scrolls were very important to them. After all, only Perfect Immortals could break the void and teleport.
"Give me one of it." Jin Rou demanded, "If you don't want to, you can just find someone else who can fit the bill."
The Wildscale Chieftain could feel the rage in the other party's voice. She deduced that the human abducted was probably one of his people. If that's the case, his attitude right now was pretty understandable.
"Alright, I'll give you one. But we have stored it in the deepest place in my chamber so I will take an hour or two to get it." The chieftain said.
"Alright, lead me first to the way where can I enter where the iten was sealed." Jin Rou said.
"There is no way physically." Wildscale Chieftain said, handing over a scroll, "But this scroll will activate a gate and take you there. Our forefather didn't want anyone to find it, so he never made doors when he sealed the item. Don't worry, the door will remain opened for more than a day as long as you haven't used it for the second time around so you can safely return."
"I understand." Jin Rou nodded and activated the scroll. A small gate appeared and he immediately entered it.

Inside the deepest part, where the item was currently sealed. Jin Rou observed the surroundings before focusing his sight on the item.
It was a tiny red leaf. Although it was just a mere leaf, Jin Rou could feel the intense power inside it.
