Fury Towards The Burning Heaven - Chapter 752: Purple Dragon City
Chapter 752: Purple Dragon City
One month…!
Jiang Yi painted like a maniac, and his painting skills were getting better. Every single day, he would paint close to a hundred paintings of a volcano eruption in the sea. Among all of them, close to a fifth would be a Heaven Painting that possessed dao presence. In just a month, he had painted 600 Heaven Paintings, and he already felt like puking whenever he painted.
If it wasn’t for Qing Yu and Feng Luan who would use various seductive postures and moves to entice Jiang Yi, he wouldn’t even be interested to hold the brush. During this month, the two ladies had allowed themselves to be ravaged by Jiang Yi, especially the conservative Feng Luan who had been even more passionate, allowing him to enjoy the sexual pleasures with them.
For this entire month, he didn’t cultivate for a single day; neither did he fuse the dao patterns. He wanted to let himself forget about the dao patterns and allow his mind to completely relax, which might actually produce a mystical result.
“Alright. Done!”
Six hundred Heaven Paintings. Even though the supply was huge, but each painting should be able to sell for one million celestial stones. It would be equivalent to 600 million celestial stones, and in addition to their original 800 million celestial stones, they would have enough to purchase a huge house in the Gods Bestow City and reside there peacefully for a few years.
Feng Luan and Qian Wanguan had finished their discussion while Qing Yu had already stored all the Heaven Paintings properly. With a wave of the hand, Qian Wanguan kept all the Heaven Paintings; but he excluded the landscape paintings of the thunder mountains.
After Qian Wanguan had a discussion with Feng Luan, they decided that it was better for him to sell it personally. The Golden Flood Dragon’s spirit wisdom as a demonic beast might be a little stiff and might just expose them. He was going to make use of the Illusion Moon Stone to form an illusion and change his appearance. At the same time, he would use the appearance alteration elixir that Jiang Yi had. Even if an expert was able to see through his illusion, it wouldn’t matter as well.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi prepared everyone, and with a white flash on his body, he teleported out of the Thearch Palace. Jiang Yi nodded to the Golden Flood Dragon outside and kept him inside the Thearch Palace. He then withdrew the Thearch Palace and consumed an appearance alteration elixir which caused his body to gradually transform. He turned into a shorty and poured his essence force into the Illusion Moon Stone, changing his appearance before walking out of the courtyard.
He didn’t go looking for a merchant association and directly went to the plaza in the center of the city. There was a teleportation array in the plaza which allowed anyone to reach the Purple Jade City immediately. However, the cost of the teleportation was extravagant and teleporting to the Purple Dragon City would require ten million celestial stones.
“Hold it right there!”
After reaching the plaza, the guards outside the two giant teleportation arrays noticed Jiang Yi approaching and stopped him. Jiang Yi then indifferently took out a ring and tossed it over while saying, “I want to go to Purple Dragon City.”
A commander took a glance inside the ancient divine essence ring and revealed a smile while speaking with cupped hands, “My Lord, please enter the teleportation array.”
It didn’t matter how many people were going to enter the teleportation array as the price of the teleportation was fixed at ten million celestial stones. Who would be able to afford this price unless they were absolute experts or had a strong background? Jiang Yi’s aura presence was very weak, but who knew if he was an expert in disguise?
Buzz!
When the teleportation array lit up, countless people in the plaza turned over to look with eyes of envy and fear. Anyone who could use the teleportation array was definitely an important person.
There was a white light that flashed in front of Jiang Yi’s eyes, and when he took a glance, he realized he had arrived at a gigantic city. The guards outside the teleportation array were all low-stage Heaven Monarchs, and the commander was a middle-stage Heaven Monarch.
Purple Dragon City!
This was the largest city in the Purple Dragon Archipelago. He casually sensed the place and noticed that the heaven and earth essence force in this city was abnormally concentrated and was at least four or five times denser than the outside world.
“Can I directly teleport from the Purple Dragon City to the Gods Bestow City?” Walking out of the teleportation array, Jiang Yi locked his eyes onto a commander beside the array and asked.
That commander nodded and replied, “Of course you can. However… each teleportation will cost you 500 million celestial stones. If my Lord can provide the Gods Bestow Token that distributed to the 13 Clans, then you just have to pay 10 million celestial stones.”
“500 million?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes contracted. The 13 Clans were committing a daylight robbery. Five hundred million for one teleportation? If two individuals teleported in a single day, wouldn’t the Qu Clan—who controlled the Purple Dragon Archipelago—be able to buy a courtyard in Gods Bestow City?
Then again, when thinking about it, normal people would definitely not be able to afford using the teleportation array. They would normally choose to ride the merchant ships while the 13 Clans’ members were only required to pay ten million celestial stones. It would mean that the money-making ability of the teleportation array wouldn’t be as horrific.
Jiang Yi left silently. He did have 500 million celestial stones, but he couldn’t afford to use the teleportation array. He walked quickly to a nearby inn and asked for a room of the highest quality. After entering the room, he took out the Thearch Palace and teleported Qian Wanguan out.
“Wanguan, act according to the plan!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand while Qian Wanguan consumed an appearance alteration elixir and walked out of the door. Jiang Yi had a distinctive feature, and once a powerful martial artist checked his dantian and discover his nine star spheres, he would be exposed immediately.
Qian Wanguan walked out of the inn and moved swiftly. The Gods Bestow Tribe’s cities all had a curfew at night, and anyone idling on the streets would be killed without mercy. The inns didn’t allow anyone to stay overnight, and if anyone dared to stay in the city without their own residence, they would be executed. Hence, Qian Wanguan had to settle everything before the sky turned dark.
Qian Wanguan had already scouted the information in advance and found out that the city had one of the three largest merchant associations in the Gods Bestow Tribe, the Green Bird Merchant Association’s sub-branch. He then headed straight for a giant castle where the merchant association was located.
After spending 50 million celestial stones, Qian Wanguan obtained the qualifications to ride the Heaven Fate Ship that departs for the Gods Bestow City at nighttime. Fifty million celestial stones had caused Qian Wanguan to feel the ache, but when he thought about the concentrated heaven and earth essence force when getting nearer to the Gods Bestow Island, it would mean that the mountain bandit legions were also much stronger. If they didn’t ride the Heaven Fate Ship, everyone would definitely die before they could even reach the Gods Bestow Island.
After fixing their departure during nighttime, Qian Wanguan felt much more relaxed as he explored the castle of the Green Bird Merchant Association. As he was already familiar, he quickly found a black market merchant and exchanged the 700 million celestial stones in the ancient divine essence ring into merits. This merit token was specially made by the 13 Clans, and no one could make an imitation.
After keeping the merit token, Qian Wanguan went out of the Green Bird Merchant Association and returned to the inn. He changed his attire and his appearance before rushing out again. This time, he went to the largest merchant association in the Purple Dragon City… Purple Dragon Merchant Association. This was a merchant association that belonged to the Qu Clan who was the dictator of the Purple Dragon Archipelago and also the most credible merchant association in the Purple Dragon Archipelago.
“Where is the art pavilion?”
The merchant association was in the city lord residence, and the city lord residence here was at least dozens of times bigger than the one at Sky Thunder City. There were at least ten thousand shops and countless customers inside that dazzled the eyes.
With the guidance from a guard, Qian Wanguan went to the second floor, paid 1000 celestial stones, and inquired along the way. He then finally arrived outside a giant art pavilion.
“This art pavilion is very imposing!”
After taking a few glances, Qian Wanguan nodded his head silently. The art pavilion was at least half a mile in radius, and there were dozens of small halls inside, making it like a maze which displayed innumerable artworks.
“Is this guest going to buy or sell a painting?” A female attendant welcomed with a smiling expression.
Qian Wanguan spoke arrogantly and waved his hand. “Bring me your chief shopkeeper. I have a big business to discuss with him.”
“My Lord, please follow me.”
The female attendant was knowledgeable and knew that someone with an extraordinary aura like Qian Wanguan’s wouldn’t be teasing her. He followed the female attendant through turns and bends before entering an elegant small hall.
There was a skinny and shriveled old man seated in the small hall who looked hale and hearty. When he saw Qian Wanguan entering, he nodded his head mildly and smiled. “Is there anything I can be of service for this customer?”
Qian Wanguan took a glance at the female attendant while the old man beckoned his hand for her to be dismissed. Qian Wanguan’s ancient divine essence ring lit up as he took out a Heaven Painting and handed it over. “Shopkeeper. Take a look at this painting and tell me how much is it worth?”
The old man had a serious expression as he received Qian Wanguan’s painting with both hands. He gently put it on the table and opened it up slowly.
Buzz!
Before the painting was even fully opened, the old man’s eyes instantly shot out brilliant radiance. He took a few closer look and constantly nodded his head while saying, “Not bad. For this painting, our Purple Dragon Art Pavilion can buy it for 500,000 celestial stones!”
“Hahaha!”
Qian Wanguan laughed loudly and sneered. “Shopkeeper isn’t sincere at all. I shall not be doing this business.”
The old man’s eyes flashed with radiance as he shouted, “Two million celestial stones. This is my highest price. The painting skills of this painting are too crude; otherwise, the price can be ten folds or even a hundred folds.”
“Okay, deal!”
Qian Wanguan nodded and extended his divine senses to check the surroundings before he transmitted a message. “Chief Shopkeeper, I have more of these paintings. Do you want them? Is the price still two million celestial stones?”
“Eh? How many more do you have?”
The old man got startled as his eyes revealed a delightful expression. “I will take everything you have. The price will naturally be the same!”
“Hahaha!”
Qian Wanguan let out his voice and laughed heartily before he transmitted another message. “Fine. Would you prepare 1200 million celestial stones? I have 600 paintings with me…”
Plop!
The old man’s legs went soft as his butt sat onto the ground.
