?Chapter 653: Chapter 279: The Five Elements Wood Command Appears at the Trade Fair Chapter 653: Chapter 279: The Five Elements Wood Command Appears at the Trade Fair Hearing this, Lin Jing immediately turned his head, incredulously looking at the Yan Family ancestor, never expecting that the Yan Family ancestor would actually possess Jade Soul Algae.
However, the Yan Family ancestor looked towards the unfamiliar Nascent Soul Cultivator and spoke directly:
“Indeed, I have a piece of Jade Soul Algae, but I do not intend to trade it.”
The unfamiliar cultivator, upon hearing this, did not give up, but instead spoke again with respect:
“The Jade Soul Algae can enhance the Soul Spirit and is one of the rare spiritual objects that can reinforce Divine Sense.
It is extremely precious to Divine Transformation Cultivators.
I understand why Senior Yan is unwilling to trade.”
But, halfway through his words, the tone of the unfamiliar cultivator changed, and he continued:
“However…”
“I have a treasure here that is also very useful to Divine Transformation Cultivators.
Its effect is not less than that of the Jade Soul Algae.
Maybe Senior Yan would like it very much.”
“What is it?”
The Yan Family ancestor asked, his brows furrowing as he looked at the man.
Jade Soul Algae could enhance the Soul Spirit, and there weren’t many things that could replace it.
Even if there were other spiritual objects that could enhance the Soul Spirit, they would be even rarer than Jade Soul Algae, and one might not find them even in a lifetime.
The Jade Soul Algae was better in comparison; although it was also rare, as long as one sought it out and was willing to put in some effort, they could eventually find a few pieces.
Therefore, the Yan Family ancestor did not wish to trade it away.
The unfamiliar cultivator did not respond but directly took out an extremely delicate jade box from his Space Ring.
This jade box was entirely blood-red, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
There were also seals on it, preventing Divine Sense from probing inside.
After taking out the jade box, the unfamiliar cultivator formed hand seals and then stamped several imprints onto the jade box.
The jade box immediately underwent some changes, and an indescribable aura emerged from within.
Afterward.
The unfamiliar cultivator addressed the Yan Family ancestor:
“Senior Yan!”
“Inside this jade box is an object that I wish to trade for the Jade Soul Algae.”
“I can show the contents to Senior Yan, but I hope Senior Yan will keep it confidential and not reveal what it is.”
“If Senior Yan, after seeing it, chooses not to trade, then I will not insist.”
The contents of this jade box were so mysterious.
Not to mention others, even Lin Jing was extremely curious and wanted to know what exactly was inside.
And the other cultivators were clearly just as curious as Lin Jing.
Their eyes were all drawn to the jade box.
The Yan Family ancestor, looking at the unfamiliar cultivator with an intense gaze, said:
“I do not think we have met before, and yet you seem to trust me a great deal.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’d simply take your possession?”
The unfamiliar cultivator then spoke with respect:
“I have heard some of the elder’s stories about Senior Yan, and I hold great admiration for Senior Yan’s character.”
After hearing this, the Yan Family ancestor focused his gaze, scrutinizing the unfamiliar cultivator closely.
After examining him, the Yan Family ancestor spoke directly:
“Fine!”
“Since you’ve put it that way, naturally I would not bully a junior.
If the item in your jade box really satisfies me, then I will trade with you.”
“Senior Yan, please…” the unfamiliar cultivator gracefully bowed, then with a sweep of his hand, the jade box floated towards the Yan Family ancestor.
The Yan Family ancestor reached out his hand, and the jade box landed precisely in his grasp.
After receiving the jade box, the Yan Family ancestor waved his hand, and he was immediately shielded by a light screen, preventing those outside from seeing anything within.
Without a doubt, the protection set by the Yan Family ancestor also blocked out any probing Divine Sense.
After a quarter of an hour, the light screen faded away.
The Yan Family ancestor was revealed inside, along with the jade box that appeared unchanged.
After looking at the object inside the jade box, he closed it again, restoring it to its original state.
It could be said that now, apart from the unfamiliar cultivator and the Yan Family ancestor, no one present knew what was actually inside the jade box.
At this time.
Everyone’s eyes were on the Yan Family ancestor.
And the unfamiliar cultivator, likewise filled with anticipation, looked towards the Yan Family ancestor.
But the Yan Family ancestor, holding the jade box and frowning, appeared deep in thought.
It was quite some time before he finally lifted his head again and then, with a wave of his hand, sent the jade box flying back to the unfamiliar cultivator.
“Your item inside the jade box is indeed good.”
“Unfortunately, it is not what I am looking for.”
After receiving the Yan Family ancestor’s response, the unfamiliar cultivator did not persist.
He took back the jade box and respectfully bowed to the Yan Family ancestor:
“Thank you for your time, Senior Yan!”
After speaking, he returned to his seat.
And the Yan Family ancestor also did not say more and sat back down as well.
This trade was not concluded.
But the trading meeting was to continue.
Following that.
Another cultivator presented the treasure they wished to trade.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
“This is a treasure I obtained from a ruin in the deep sea…”
People’s attention was immediately drawn to this new trade.
No longer did they pay attention to the unfamiliar cultivator.
Only a few people would occasionally turn their heads to glance at him again.
They were clearly intrigued by the mysterious treasure within the jade box on his person.
However, this was a trading meeting of the highest order, where even the cultivators who could attend were of renowned reputation.
Naturally, no one would make any inappropriate moves because of the mysterious treasure.
Even if someone did have any ideas, at the very least they would wait until they had left Bihai City.
But, the other party was no fool.
Since they dared to offer that item, they must have made thorough preparations beforehand, and as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, they would surely not fear them.
……
The trading meeting was still going on in full swing and quickly approached its climax.
Lin Jing had not participated in it from beginning to end.
????0.?0
He had not chosen anyone’s treasures either.
Lin Jing hadn’t chosen any other treasures, not because he was in a rush, but Yan Ming beside him was getting somewhat anxious on Lin Jing’s behalf.
“Brother Lin, I thought the Magical Treasure offered by Dongji Divine Lord just now was quite good.
You didn’t show any interest?”
Lin Jing shook his head, “Let’s wait a bit more.”
Hearing Lin Jing say this, Yan Ming could only helplessly shake his head as well.
Actually, the one thing Lin Jing was truly interested in was the Jade Soul Algae in the hands of the Yan Family’s ancestor.
However, from what had happened just now, it seemed that the Jade Soul Algae was extremely precious to the Yan Family’s ancestor, and Lin Jing naturally couldn’t just take someone’s beloved possession.
Therefore, Lin Jing didn’t have the heart to speak up.
Lin Jing’s intention was to wait until the trading meeting was over and then inquire with the Yan Family’s ancestor about the origin of the Jade Soul Algae.
Once he knew where it came from, he could search for it himself.
Because of the harsh conditions required for the growth of Jade Soul Algae, it only appeared in specific locations.
As long as he found that particular place, it would simply be a matter of expending some effort to eventually find it.
Just as Lin Jing and Yan Ming finished their conversation, the previously unknown cultivator stood up again.
“Everyone!”
“I have an item here, it is extremely precious, and I’d like to offer it for exchange.”
As the unfamiliar cultivator spoke again, it made everyone turn their attention towards him once more.
However, no sooner had his words fallen than Divine Toad Elder’s face showed displeasure as he bluntly spoke:
“If it’s something like before, something indecent, then do not bring it out again.”
The unfamiliar cultivator gave a polite bow to Divine Toad Elder and then said:
“Elder Divine Toad, please rest assured, I will not conceal this item any longer.”
“It is just that this item is a little different, and too precious.
I cannot determine its authenticity, so I brought it here for the elders present, as well as my fellow cultivators, to help identify its authenticity.”
“If this item is genuine, then I will offer it for trade with everyone.”
The Divine Toad Elder, showing impatience, directly said:
“What is it?”
“You’re making such a fuss about it, just bring it out already.”
“Really…”
“You want to trade something whose authenticity you don’t even know.”
The unfamiliar cultivator did not argue or get angry; instead, he showed considerable respect towards Divine Toad Elder:
“Alright, Elder Divine Toad.”
As he spoke, the unfamiliar cultivator didn’t waste any time and took out a green-colored token from his Space Ring.
On the token were the inscribed characters ‘Five Elements’.
“This…
this token…”
When the token was revealed, it immediately caused a stir, as it was evident that many recognized the token.
Even the Island Master of True Dragon Island, who had been quiet this whole time, suddenly stood up, looking at the token and involuntarily exclaimed:
“Five Elements Wood Command!!!”
The moment these words came out, it led the few cultivators who had not yet recognized the token to exclaim as well:
“This is actually the Five Elements Wood Command!!!”
The Five Elements Ruins might be secret, but the assembled cultivators were among the very top-tier of the Southern Outer Sea.
They had all heard about the Five Elements Ruins, although most did not know the specific location of the ruins.
However, they had all heard some legends or accounts passed down about the Five Elements Ruins, which naturally included the Five Elements Command Tokens.
Lin Jing, upon seeing the Five Elements Wood Command in the hands of the unfamiliar cultivator, knew it was fake without needing to discern further.
The authentic Five Elements Wood Command was securely placed inside his Space Ring, which meant that the token in the stranger’s hands was undoubtedly a counterfeit.
Although Lin Jing knew this token was a fake, he couldn’t show it and instead had to act as shocked as the people around him.
Lin Jing carefully observed the Five Elements Wood Command in the hands of the unfamiliar cultivator and also silently compared them in his mind.
This Five Elements Wood Command was exquisitely crafted and had a rich wood element aura emanating from it.
If Lin Jing hadn’t known the true Five Elements Wood Command was in his possession, he might have actually been fooled.
Obviously,
The maker of this Five Elements Wood Command must have seen the real Five Elements Command Token, or even possessed it at one point; otherwise, they could not have made it so realistic.
This inevitably led Lin Jing to wonder.
The unfamiliar cultivator, where did he obtain this token from?
Although Lin Jing reacted immediately.
The Island Master of True Dragon Island was unaware of the token’s authenticity.
Upon seeing the token, the eyes of True Dragon Island’s Island Master shimmered with keen light, and he hurriedly said to the unfamiliar cultivator:
“Hand over that token in your possession so I can have a look.”
