Chapter 73: Doing a Business

“Hiss Hiss!”

The Green Destiny Sword was an artifact, and with the assistance of the essence force, it became extremely sharp. After suffering from severe damage done by Jiang Yi, the tentacled monster was unable to attack as it was still regenerating. The constant shimmering of the Green Destiny Sword swiftly took away huge pieces of flesh from the tentacled monster.

The pearl!

Jiang Yi’s eyes were burning passionately as he looked at the green pearl that was as huge as a dragon’s eye. He quickly shaved off the surrounding flesh in a flash and used his right hand as a claw to grasp the pearl.

Something isn’t right!

The instant when Jiang Yi nearly grasped the pearl, he felt his life was in peril. With a cold glare, he forcefully restrained his intense desire and retreated without any hesitation.

“Boom!”

The body of the monster suddenly exploded. That explosion was much more superior to Jiang Yi’s Explosion Essence Palm. It was strong enough to blast Jiang Yi’s body away, shattering most of his clothing and turning some parts of his body into a bloody mess. Fortunately, he was able to close his legs in time to protect his private part.

“Goddammit!”

Jiang Yi struggled up and violently vomited a mouthful of blood. It was lucky that he chose to retreat instead of seizing the green pearl during the most endangered moment. If not, he could have died because of the explosion or be crippled by the severe injuries at least.

“Indeed a great item! Such a horrifying explosion, and it still didn’t break apart.”

Jiang Yi looked towards a corner and was delighted to see the green pearl still emitting a pale green glow. He sat up with difficulty and retrieved an earth-tier recuperation elixir to consume. He temporarily ignored the green pearl and focused on his recuperation.

After he released his full force Exploding Essence Palm, his body was already frail. But he had to forcefully push himself to attack and still got injured by the explosion. His body was now in the weakest state, and if he didn’t recuperate now, even a martial artist at the third stage of the Cast Tripod Realm could easily kill him.

One hour later, the earth-tier recuperation elixir was completely absorbed, Jiang Yi took out another one to consume again. His body condition was greatly recovered, and those wounds were all closed now. His stamina and essence force was also replenished.

After another hour, Jiang Yi finally let out a breath and took out another robe to wear, before heading over to the green pearl.

“What kind of pearl is this?”

Once he got hold of the pearl, it felt abnormally soothing. Jiang Yi took a detailed look at the pearl and found nothing special. After analyzing it for a moment, he had an idea to use his essence force to shroud the green pearl.

The green pearl was unresponsive. Jiang Yi was confused as he looked left and right. He had tried everything—even putting it inside his mouth, but the pearl didn’t have any reaction.

“This isn’t right. The magical powers of the tentacled monster should have been related to this pearl, right? And this pearl didn’t even suffer from any damage after experiencing the brutal explosion; it must be an artifact…”

Jiang Yi mumbled in frustration. He originally thought he had gotten hold of a priceless artifact, but it seemed to be useless now.

After analyzing it for 15 minutes, Jiang Yi confirmed that this pearl was indeed useless. He didn’t have sufficient time to continue analyzing; hence, he threw it in his bag and began to search his surroundings. His eyes lit up as he saw a token at the corner, and it seemed to be gold in color.

He strode with big steps to pick it up, and it was indeed the rare gold-colored token from the Mt. Spirit Beast College. He let out a breath of relief after knowing that the risk he took didn’t disappoint him. It proved that the gold tokens were indeed placed inside the formidable demonic beasts.

“Oh, that’s right!”

Jiang Yi prepared to leave the gorge but suddenly recalled something. Weren’t there four corpses? Did they have any tokens in possession?

Bearing the nauseating stench of blood, Jiang Yi began to search the corpses. He soon found their belongings and was extremely elated when he opened them up. These four participants seemed to be quite competent. They had more than 20 tokens, and there was actually one gold token among it!

“I just need one more.”

Jiang Yi’s expression was filled with delight as he kept the tokens as well as those elixirs and purple gold. He didn’t dare to take their weapons though—just in case others misunderstood him as a murderer.

He bowed thrice towards the four corpses but didn’t bury their bodies. He knew that the mentors from the Mt. Spirit Beast College would be patrolling after the Blood Purge. If he was to bury them, their family members might not even have a body to mourn after.

After unintentionally obtaining two gold tokens, Jiang Yi felt some of his burden relieved. He climbed up the gorge but didn’t immediately set off. Instead, he found a secluded place to hide, recuperated some more, and replenished his essence force.

“He He!”

One hour later, he was alarmed by the noise from a distance. He felt that his body was back to 80% of his original condition; his essence force and stamina was also replenished. He quickly got out from the shrub and headed towards the source of the noise.

What is this?!

With a single glance, Jiang Yi got astonished. Right at the plains ahead was a huge chaotic fight. There were at least a hundred people; each side had about 50 individuals, but none of them were using their weapons. Even so, there were at least 20 or 30 of them on the ground and severely wounded.

“Eh… Zhan Wushuang is here, too?”

Jiang Yi saw two familiar faces: it was Zhan Wushuang and the black-robed young lady. They were just observing the commotion and didn’t seem to be involved. When Jiang Yi scanned the battlegrounds, he saw yet another familiar face—one that wasn’t supposed to be here.

“Jiang Qilin’s injuries are completely recuperated? It has just been two days, right? Could he have consumed a heaven-tier recuperation elixir?”

Jiang Yi was surprised. He continued to observe and found that there were plenty of participants secretly observing as well. With so many people around, he didn’t want to stay any longer in fear of meeting the young miss from the first night. When he prepared to leave, he saw a timid figure, waving at him from the nearby shrubbery.

“Big brother, big brother! Over here!”

A familiar voice echoed, and it was actually the fatty, Qian Wanguan. Jiang Yi paused for a moment before heading towards him and whispered, “Qian Wanguan, what did you call me for?”

“Hehe, Big brother! I want to do business with you.”

Qian Wanguan let out a harmless smile as he tugged on Jiang Yi’s robes as he whispered, “Big brother. I want you to help me severely injure ten of Jiang Qilin’s men. How about I offer you 1000 taels of purple gold?”

“What? Are you out of your mind?”

Jiang Yi widened his eyes and looked at fatty as though he was a retard. He turned his head and left.

“Don’t go, big brother!”

Fatty quickly pulled on Jiang Yi and continued with a laugh. “The price is negotiable. How about 2000 taels?”

Jiang Yi’s forehead was filled with black streaks. He glared at fatty and replied, “This isn’t an issue with the money. Why would I go offend Jiang Qilin for no reason? Do you think I have forsaken my life? That is the young master of the Jiang Clan.”

“Hehe!”

Fatty couldn’t help but laugh. “So what if he is the young master of the Jiang Clan? Even if you beat him up, the Western Garrison Liege Lord wouldn’t even bother. What’s more, there are at least five others who have an even higher esteemed status than him. He is just a small bird. Why not… help me this time, and I will give you one gold token?”

“One gold token?”

Jiang Yi was tempted. He was precisely lacking that one gold token. With such a chaotic battle, he should be able to severely injure ten individuals within the chaos. He was just concerned if Jiang Qilin would come to settle the scores on a later date.

Damn it! I shall risk it!

Recalling that he already offended Jiang Qilin once, Jiang Yi couldn’t be bothered anymore. Jiang Xiaonu’s matter was of the utmost importance. His eyes let out a ruthless expression as he spoke in a soft voice, “Give me the token first, and I will sell my life for you. That’s right… why do you believe that I am capable of severely injuring ten of them?”

“Hehe!”

The fatty’s smile narrowed his eyes into a line. He then whispered in reply, “Killing aura. Among everyone here, only you and Zhan Wushuang have the most intense killing aura. Zhan Wushuang wasn’t willing to get involved so I had to look for you. I think your true strength isn’t just like this, right? Hehe, don’t worry, big brother. As long as you enter the college, Jiang Qilin will not be able to touch you.”
