Chapter 390: Transaction

However, Minghe did not care because he was alone and had no worries. If they became strong, Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan would not affect him. After this trip to the Mystery Territory of Earth, he would go to the Central Region, where there were a lot of Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Moreover, Minghe might not have a connection with these people, so he did not worry about this question.
Yun Ling Academy had seven halls but eight forces. Apart from the forces of the seven halls, there was another neutral force, which was similar to the line of Individual Cultivators. It was always protected by the Director of the Academy whether in the Eastern Region or the Central Region. Moreover, every director came from this line, and the seven halls never had any objections, as if it was a default rule.
Its existence was very beneficial for Minghe because he could freely deal with the seven halls and get his required things. Although it was a little troublesome, at least he would not be subject to others. As such, he could not only avoid the struggle among the forces of the seven halls, but also be able to practice wholeheartedly, which was precisely what he wanted.
However, he could only exchange Spiritual Treasures of Chaos for some precious resources for cultivation from Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan. Beyond that, he might have nothing attractive to them. After all, their cultivations were not inferior to his and their foundations were even many times better than his. His only advantage was the Law of Weapons-refining.
He was not eager to show his ability of refining Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. The Mystery Territory of Earth would initiate in 60,000 years. During this period, Minghe and his Three Separations could enhance their cultivations and perceive tactical formations. Moreover, Heaven and Earth Taoist"s Wheels of Heaven and Earth was still a Half Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. It would take some time and plenty of refining materials to turn it into a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos.
He had already collected all the refining materials. It would not take a lot of time to turn it into a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. After all, nowadays the World of Heaven and Earth had already reached the low-rank great trichiliocosm. However, Heaven and Earth Taoist was not anxious to transform it, but he was absorbed in the development and stabilization of the World of Heaven and Earth, which would change a lot from a medium dichiliocosm to a great trichiliocosm.
In the past 40,000 years, Minghe never left his Elder Palace, and several other Elders also gradually took less notice of him. Some worried that he might get up to his little tricks, and some might hold expectations for him. However, he neither made any moves nor exchanged for resources for 40,000 years. They speculated that he might be practicing through Closed Door Meditation. After all, cultivating for 40,000 years was simply nothing for the Fate Realm.
And then one day, a strong current of vital force suddenly burst out from his Elder Palace. Even though a restriction formation was arranged there, some vital force still lingered. Being powerful and ancient, the vital force was generated during the birth of the Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, with an odor of Chaos and the air of spirituality.
In the Elder Palace, all the Elders were shocked by the sudden outburst of vital force. Obviously, they never thought that Minghe"s Law of Weapons-refining would break through 40,000 years later after he broke through to the Fate Realm. A new Sixth Grade Refining Master was born. Among the seven Elders, Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan naturally were filled with antic.i.p.ation because they saw the potential to obtain Spiritual Treasures of Chaos.
They had almost given up before. After all, they would go to Yun Ling Academy in the Central Region after leaving the Mystery Territory of Earth. When they arrived there, they would naturally obtain their desired Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, but they might pay a greater cost there.
As soon as Minghe broke through on the Law of Weapons-refining, they immediately left their Elder Palaces and walked to Minghe"s, while several other Elders just watched them because they had no way to stop them. Although the seven halls struggled openly and secretly, they only did it stealthily. Therefore, they could not prevent them from obtaining any Spiritual Treasures of Chaos.
Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan arrived at the outside of Minghe"s Elder Palace and glanced at each other silently. Since neither of them had a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos and Minghe had just broken through the Laws of Weapons-refining, they might have a chance to get their desired treasures from him. Minghe might not be able to refine two Spiritual Treasures of Chaos before they left for the Central Region, but he might refine one treasure, so the atmosphere became very awkward.
"There you are, Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan. Since you"re here, come in for a chat." Minghe"s voice came from the main hall and broke the awkward silence. Upon hearing this, they entered the main hall successively. After their entrance, the gate of the main hall closed and the restriction formation initiated once again. In this way, no one could know what they talked about.
They looked at Minghe, who sat upright on the seat. Opposite him were two seats, which had obviously been prepared for them. After they sat down, Elder Jiangwu said with a laugh, "Elder Minghe, congratulations on your success in the refinement of the Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Unexpectedly, you"ve broken through the Laws of Weapons-refining in a short period of only 40,000 years. My Fellow Taoist, you"re really gifted at refining."
After hearing this, Minghe said with a smile, "Elder Jiangwu, I"m flattered. Actually, I was just enlightened by accident, so I made progress in refining. Otherwise, it would be a long time before I could refine Spiritual Treasures of Chaos." With this, Minghe looked at the silent Elder Hongquan and asked, "Perhaps you came here for something other than just congratulating me, right?"
Upon hearing this, they exchanged glances because they never thought that Minghe would be so straightforward. However, it was just right. Elder Hongquan looked at Minghe and said in a low voice, "Elder Minghe, since you"ve asked, let"s get this straight. You must know that among the seven Elders, only Elder Jiangwu and I have no Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. Since you"ve succeeded in refining weapons, we want you to help us to refine a Spiritual Treasures of Chaos."
When he finished his words, Elder Hongquan stared at Minghe with expectation in his eyes, and so did Elder Jiangwu. Although they had already reached the Fate Realm, they had no proper Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. If they met a man with the same cultivation who had a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, they would be doomed to suffer losses and even die. Therefore, they were desperate for Spiritual Treasures of Chaos.
When the Mystery Territory of Earth opened this time, they had wanted to enter the Spiritual Inheritance of the Law of Weapons and try their fortunes. If they were lucky enough, they might find a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos inside. Although there was little chance, there were no other alternatives. But now, Minghe had been able to refine a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, so they naturally placed their hopes on him.
Minghe looked thoughtful after hearing that. Actually, the outburst of the vital force of Spiritual Treasures of Chaos was done purposely by him. When the Wheels of Heaven and Earth realized its transformation, he did not cover it up but let it break out the vital force of the Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Therefore, some vital force leaked out from his Elder Palace and finally had attracted Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan, which was just his purpose.
He certainly could see their expectations hidden in their eyes, then he said, "Of course, I know your thoughts too well. However, I just broke through the Laws of Weapons-refining, so I can not a.s.sure you that I can refine a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos now. As you two know, it"s not that easy to refine Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Moreover, I just broke through to the Fate Realm, so I need time for Closed Door Meditation. Therefore..."
They were a little anxious when they discovered that Minghe wanted to turn down their request. Actually, Minghe had already spoken so clearly, saying that he wanted to practice through Closed Door Meditation. However, Elder Jiangwu and Elder Hongquan also knew that it was only 20,000 years away from the opening of the Mystery Territory of Earth. Even with a Closed Door Meditation, Minghe might not be able to improve his cultivation much. As long as they were willing to pay enough, they believed that Minghe would like to give up the Closed Door Meditation and refine Spiritual Treasures of Chaos for them instead.
With that thought in mind, Elder Jiangwu said, "Elder Minghe, you want to carry out a Closed Door Meditation just to improve your cultivation, so I would like to offer you 10 Sky Crystals as payment. If you can refine me a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, you"ll get the 10 Sky Crystals. Well, what do you think?" While speaking, he stretched out his hand and 10 Sky Crystals appeared in his palm.
As he saw the Sky Crystals, Minghe got a shine in his eyes. After years of Spiritual Inheritance, the seven halls really formed a profound foundation. In Yun Ling Academy in the Eastern Region, they could take out 10 Sky Crystals at a time, which was really surprising to Minghe. It was really a cost-efficient deal with 10 Sky Crystals as payment for refining a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos.
Elder Hongquan heard this and also took out 10 Sky Crystals, saying, "I"m also willing to offer 10 Sky Crystals as payment for your refinement of a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. Elder Minghe, what do you think?" Elder Hongquan was a little anxious when he saw Elder Jiangwu take out the Sky Crystals as payment because he might not obtain a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos if Minghe promised Elder Jiangwu first.
Seeing this, Minghe lowered his voice and said, "Since you two are so sincere, I won"t decline your requests. As long as I have enough refining materials, I should be able to refine two Spiritual Treasures of Chaos over the next 20,000 years." Minghe had no reason to reject their requests because they would provide all the refining materials and give him 20 Sky Crystals as payment.
