Volume 1 Chapter 536 Metal Heart
Kong Yun quickly walked into the market, ignoring the polite words of the stall owner. Hai Zi could only call Young Master while quickly following behind.
"Let"s go. We"ll follow you." Two sneaky people followed behind Kong Yun. However, Kong Yun was completely focused on what he was summoning, so he didn"t have time to observe the situation around him.
The deeper he went, the more powerful his summons became. When he reached the depths of the market, he saw an old man dressed in tattered clothes casually sitting cross-legged on the ground. In front of him, there was a cloud of smoke that looked like metal dust constantly changing its shape.
He could clearly feel that this thing was summoning him. To be exact, it was summoning his metal ability. Almost all of the metal ability energy in his body was about to leave his body. Coincidentally, Kong Yun had found treasures related to metal abilities in the market.
However, this metal division gave him a different feeling than any metal he had absorbed before. Previously, when he visited the Ten Thousand Light Star market, although the metal abilities in his body could sense metal-type geniuses and treasures, they did not feel like he was summoning them on his own initiative.
Kong Yun suppressed the restlessness of the metal ability in his body and squatted down, wanting to reach out to touch the metal dust.
"Stop! You still don"t know what I want to exchange for, yet you dare to directly take my things like this?"
The old man sternly stopped Kong Yun"s hand from reaching out. With this shout, he discovered that his metal abilities had actually sent out a feeling of longing.
When he approached the metal dust, the metal abilities in his body instantly quieted down. It was as if they were waiting for Kong Yun to absorb the metal dust into his body. Kong Yun could feel that as long as he touched the metal dust, the metal abilities in his body would likely be out of his control and his intuition would work to absorb the metal dust.
This was a situation that he had never encountered before. Since when did an ability have its own emotions?
"That old man, Young Master is a distinguished guest of the Shunjin Trading Firm. There will always be a price for this item. Young Master will definitely be able to afford it."
Hearing Hai Zi"s rude words, Kong Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Hai Zi. This old man was able to take out a treasure that could cause the energy in his body to change. He could see that this tattered old man was not simple, at least not as it appeared on the surface.
Hai Zi also looked at the old man as if he were a beggar, so he looked down on the old man. However, Hai Zi was originally a child and had a pure nature. With a little education, he would not make such a mistake again.
"Haizi, don"t be rude to the old gentleman. May I know how the old gentleman should trade this thing?"
Hearing Kong Yun"s words, the old man snorted coldly, "This is a metal heart, a treasure that can help people open the metal laws. I wonder what treasure you can exchange for, but I won"t accept the divine pearl."
After saying that, he glanced at Haizi. He was obviously thinking about Haizi and said that Kong Yun would definitely be able to afford it as long as he had a price.
Only now did Kong Yun understand that the treasure in front of him had only heard of it before, but he had never seen it before. Only a Universe grade ore vein had a one hundredth chance of forming a Metal Heart. It could directly open up the path of the Metal Laws for people who cultivated Metal Abilities.
However, there were very few people who cultivated the Metal Laws. This was not the Metal Elements of the Five Elements, but the Metal Laws. However, this item could only be used by people with metal abilities. This was also the reason why the old man had been waiting in the market. Otherwise, treasures like this that could help people break through to the Sage realm would definitely not wait until Kong Yun arrived.
The Metal Heart wasn"t the only benefit. If he absorbed the Metal Heart, his metallic abilities would be greatly changed, and his perception of the Laws of Metals would be greatly improved in the future.
The old man asked for a treasure comparable to the Metal Heart to be exchanged. This made Kong Yun feel troubled. The materials he had on him were basically sold to the Shunjin Trading Firm, and there weren"t many things left on him. However, if he had something that could help others comprehend the power of the Laws, he would have given it to himself or the people around him long ago. He wouldn"t have waited until now.
However, Kong Yun mainly cultivated metal abilities, so this metal heart was a treasure that he was determined to obtain. He couldn"t bear to see him slip away like this.
Right, I heard in the Spring Pavilion that the reward for the first place in the Cosmos City Tournament among the horned bearded men and the others was a Divine Fruit. This Divine Fruit was indeed capable of allowing people to comprehend a trace of the power of laws, but it was completely random. It was just like a person who majored in light-attribute abilities who immediately comprehended a trace of the Laws of Darkness. Although he could be called a sage, it would be even more difficult for him to advance by an inch.
"Old sir, do you know about the Cosmos City Tournament?"
"The old man has stayed in Cosmos City for so many years. He naturally knows about this prosperous era. Unfortunately, he is too old. Otherwise, he would like to partic.i.p.ate and fight for the first place."
"I"m afraid the old gentleman doesn"t want the reputation of first place, but the reward of first place, the Divine Fruit, right?" Kong Yun saw that the old gentleman"s cultivation was that of a cosmic major power. He was only a short distance away from comprehending the rules to be called a sage. He couldn"t use this metal heart. He definitely wanted to exchange it for a treasure that allowed him to comprehend the power of the Laws.
"Wait, we"ll take this treasure. Old man, just tell us how much it is. The one next to me is the young master of the Shunjin Trading Firm."
Before the old man could answer Kong Yun"s question, two people rushed out from the side. They were Shi Wu Cheng and his followers who had followed Kong Yun earlier.
The sudden interruption made Kong Yun unhappy. His brows furrowed deeply. However, fighting was forbidden in this market. He had just arrived in Cosmos City, and it was impossible for him to offend the official forces of Cosmos City for the sake of Shi Wu Cheng, a sticky piece of trash.
The old man behind the stall looked at Kong Yun and Shi Wu Cheng with a scrutinizing gaze. His intuition told him that there must be some kind of conflict between the two of them. To the seller, he was most willing to see a grudge between the buyers, so that the price of his own things could be inflated.
The Metal Heart, which no one usually cared about, suddenly became a hot item for the two of them. One was a distinguished guest of the Shunjin Trading Firm, and the other was the young master of the Shunjin Trading Firm.
"Sorry, my metal heart only trades for treasures that allow people to comprehend the power of the Laws, not divine pearls."
To Shi Wu Cheng, the old man also had the same answer. He only wanted to exchange it for a treasure that allowed him to comprehend the power of the Laws, and then call it the Sage, so that he could return to his own The universe as soon as possible to seek revenge for that b.i.t.c.h!
The reason why he was dressed in rags was to remind himself that there was still a pair of dogs and men waiting for him to return to the distant The universe to take revenge. Otherwise, with the strength of a great cosmic power, the lowest level of the Cleansing Secret Technique would not have been casually picked up by him.
"Old man, your Metallic Heart is only useful to people with metallic abilities. Such people are hard to come by, so the value of this Metallic Heart is naturally low. Otherwise, you wouldn"t have sold it here for so many years. Why don"t you trade it for the same amount of Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures? That way, you won"t lose."
Although the old man knew this truth, he could not accept it. There were always people who needed a metal heart, and he had to change the treasure that allowed him to be called a sage.
Kong Yun, who was standing at the side without making a sound, could not take out anything to exchange for the Metal Heart. He said again, "Old sir, I will partic.i.p.ate in the Cosmos City Martial Compet.i.tion. I only hope that after obtaining the Divine Fruit, I can exchange for your Metal Heart."
The old man who was sitting on the ground only waved his hand when he heard this. No one could directly take out what he wanted. This was his only hope.
"Wait until you get the divine fruit. Anyway, I"ve been here for a few years. The metal heart hasn"t been sold. I can afford to wait."
Kong Yun originally only wanted the old man not to sell the Metal Heart. However, after hearing the old man"s words, the Metal Heart was not a treasure that everyone wanted. It was useless for someone who didn"t have a Metal Ability to buy it at such a high price.
Therefore, he could partic.i.p.ate in the tournament. After winning the first place, he would come to the old man to exchange for the metal heart.
"Just you? You dare to claim the first place in the Cosmos City Tournament? You are truly overestimating yourself." Shi Wu Cheng sneered.
In the end, Kong Yun bowed to the old gentleman, turned around, and left, completely ignoring Shi Wu Cheng"s provocation.
Kong Yun had always believed in the truth that it was impossible to reason with an idiot. He would not bother you again if he had the chance to wake him up.
Seeing Kong Yun leave, Shi Wu Cheng did not follow him again. After all, he already knew that Kong Yun was going to partic.i.p.ate in the Cosmos City Martial Compet.i.tion. When the time came, he would see him in the martial arena.
"Go, sign up for the Cosmos City Tournament. When the time comes, Yours Truly will deal with this fellow in the tournament. Let him know that the person Yours Truly likes is not someone he can touch."
As long as they killed Kong Yun on the arena, Shi Xueren and Uncle Cai had no reason to blame themselves. After all, they had no eyes for swords and blades. Even if they really killed him, no one else could say anything. The Cosmos City Martial Compet.i.tion was not a fake fight, and many people had died in previous matches.
Moreover, the first prize was the Divine Fruit. Although Shi Wu Cheng was the adopted son of the Shi Clan, it was very difficult to obtain such a thing. As for the disadvantages of the Divine Fruit helping people awaken a power of law, after Shi Wu Cheng forgot about it, he was a lucky person. Even if he did, he would definitely be able to randomly find something suitable for him.
It wasn"t until Kong Yun reached the entrance of the market that the metal ability in his body stabilized. It could be seen how attractive the metal heart was to people with metal abilities. If this wasn"t Cosmos City, Kong Yun would have forcefully absorbed the metal ability, and then compensated the stall owner.
After exiting the market, Kong Yun asked Haizi to take him to the registration office of the Cosmos City Tournament to pay the registration fee of a hundred divine pearls. After registering the information, he left.
After visiting Cosmos City for a day, Kong Yun had a general understanding of Cosmos City in his heart. At the very least, the forces in front of him were the City Lord"s Mansion, the two major trading houses, and the forces behind Seventh Mother. It seemed that Cosmos City was not very calm, and there was no way for it to surge in the dark.
