Chapter 550: Loved to Cause His Uncle Trouble
Duan He chided himself for not joining the group sooner after thoroughly studying the elemental pearls being auctioned off.
After ascertaining that the elemental pearls were indeed 9.9 purity, Duan He started looking into the information about the Purchase With No Loss store.
If he had not seen it for himself, Duan He would not believe that a Star Web store would sell something like 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
When Duan He was still a pinnacle king-cla.s.s expert, he had used up many favors in order to evolve his feys to Great Suzerain.
He had also used up a ma.s.sive amount of resources to convince a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master to help him nurture several heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that had a purity of about 9.7–9.8.
Although heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were available on the market, those mostly had a purity of 9.5–9.6.
It was impossible to find heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with 9.7–9.8 purity. If one needed it badly enough, they could only approach Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters to create it for them specially.
Even pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters needed to count on a significant amount of luck if they wanted to produce heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls of 9.9 purity.
No one would sell such peak-quality heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls on the market, much less auctioning them off as group welfare.
Now that Duan He had reached emperor-cla.s.s, he did not need to work as hard to convince a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master to produce heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls for him.
It was improbable that Duan He would be able to find a pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master who could produce 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls for him.
He did not have any grounds to build a connection with a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master who he could ask to help him.
Duan He was only a medial emperor-cla.s.s expert at the moment. Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters would not even spare him a second look. Only pinnacle emperor-cla.s.s experts had the right to stand on equal ground as Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters.
Duan He was not as specific about the purity of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls as he was in the past when he was trying to evolve his feys to Suzerain.
The pure elemental energy in the elemental pearls was mainly used to trigger the transformation suppressed in the feys’ bloodline.
As such, high-quality heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were very useful.
Now, both of Duan He’s main feys were about to break through Myth II to take human form.
In order for the transformation to occur, Duan He needed spiritual ingredients that aided in evolution.
Pure elemental energy only amplified the effects.
Duan He felt as though he had accidentally stumbled upon a goldmine.
Although he had used many resources to evolve his feys from Myth I to Myth II, an emperor-cla.s.s expert like him still had some savings.
Duan He had come into a fair amount of source-type items from the water world dimensional rift in Indigo Azure City.
He decided that he was going to be the one to bring home the 12 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
Duan He intended on enquiring about the rules of the auction. After all, he was new to the group and was still unsure of the rules of the group welfare.
Duan He had a feeling that he was about to suffer a loss if a specific item was needed to trade for these heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
At which point, Duan He would really blow his top.
Duan He remembered that this group admin had set a specific item during the blind trade for the Flower Brocade Pearls.
The specific item was the mid-grade strange flames.
Before Duan He posed the question, he glanced through the group messages and instantly froze.
Someone was mentioning his nephew, Recluse Study, and the question made Duan He want to haul Recluse Study out and teach him a lesson he would never forget.
Someone in the group asked.
Stream in the Cloud: “Thank G.o.d I made it! I’m sure to win! @Recluse Study, I scrolled through the group chats. You said that the daytime mood had something to do with the Zheng family. If so, why does the Zheng family not know anything about it?”
Duan He felt that his nephew loved to cause him trouble.
It was decreed at home that not a word of this matter was to be leaked. Yet this brat had not only eavesdropped, but he had even posted it in the group chat.
If news of this reached the people involved and came after Duan He, even his status as an emperor-cla.s.s expert would not save him.
When Duan He first had left the deserted island, he had no idea who Lin Yuan was.
He had seen the persistent moonlight in the direction of the dimensional rift the second time he was on the deserted island and had been unable to find a way to see past the moonlight barrier.
He had felt that the figures immersed in the concentrated moonlight were familiar.
Eventually, the Moon Empress had stepped out of the moonlight barrier with a floating body in her arms. Duan He had only dared to lift his head at that moment, but he saw the two Suzerain/Myth Breed feys that had killed Jiao Hanzhong emerging from the moonlight.
When he had seen the unmasked youth next to the two Suzerain feys, realization dawned upon Duan He.
It turned out that the youth wearing the odd mask that had sent out the kill order for Jiao Hanzhong was the Moon Empress’ disciple.
Duan He had speculated about Lin Yuan’s ident.i.ty. When he had heard Lin Yuan mention Sky City, Duan He was certain that he had never heard of a faction by that name.
Now that he thought about it, Sky City was not a legendary hidden faction. It should be a new faction created by the mask-wearing youth.
Duan He knew this secret because he had watched the events on the deserted island unfold like a spectator.
Since his nephew had spilled this incident in the group, if the people involved caught wind of this, they would be able to zero in on the source of the leak and figure out who was behind it.
