Chapter 840: Chapter 837: Accident Strikes Again_1
Yang Chen and Golden Claw were both slightly taken aback upon hearing that they wouldn’t be able to advance to become a True Dragon unless they went through the awakening of all five elements. Golden Claw seemed troubled by this news.
The two Black Mountain Black Bear brothers stopped talking as well. They shared a bond with Golden Claw and didn’t want to add insult to injury.
Although they weren’t very smart, they knew better than to hurt someone’s feelings on purpose.
Seeing the change in Golden Claw’s expression, Yang Chen reassured him, “Golden Claw, don’t worry. We’ve already resolved the Fire element, and the Earth element will be sorted out soon as well. With two elements down, we only have three left. Trust me. I promised you I would do everything in my power to help you become a True Dragon.”
Golden Claw gratefully said, “Thank you, Young Master.”
“Haha, what are you thanking me for?” Yang Chen laughed heartily. “By the way, Elder Yu Ban, is there any limit to Golden Claw’s strength when he undergoes his second Awakening?”
“He can only undergo his second awakening when he reaches the Half-Step Earth Martial Realm,” Yu Ban said gently.
“I see. Golden Claw, Elder Bear One, and Elder Bear Two, say goodbye to Elder Yu Ban. Remember to practice diligently in the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space!” said Yang Chen.
“Goodbye, old man.”
“Elder, we’re off!”
Golden Claw and the Black Mountain Black Bear brothers bid farewell to Yu Ban and entered the Eight Extremes River Space.
Yang Chen then changed his appearance once again and left Tiandu Divine Country.
He didn’t return to the Ziyang Sect as he was confident that the Fire Essence Beast wouldn’t dare to harm them. He believed that as more time passed without finding him, the Fire Essence Beast would eventually leave.
Now, Yang Chen’s plan was to head to the Central Region!
…
Time passes, and two months later,
Yang Chen stopped in Huangsha County. Initially, he didn’t intend to stay here, but considering that Huangsha County was the most commercially valuable place among the thirty-six Eastern Counties, Yang Chen decided to try his luck here.
With plenty of spirit stones on hand, he could now afford to splurge on various items.
“Shopkeeper, take this list and find everything on it. I’ll be staying at your inn for a month. During this time, make sure you gather all the information you can about the items on this list. Report to me immediately if you find any leads!” Yang Chen said, handing a list of materials to the inn’s keeper.
Upon arriving in Huangsha County, he chose to stay at an inn where the keepers usually keep updated on the latest news. Yang Chen saw an opportunity and approached the shopkeeper with his request.
The shopkeeper, an old man in his fifties, stroked his beard as he examined the list Yang Chen had provided. Then, he hesitated, “Young man, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. The items on your list are quite rare and difficult to find.”
Without a thought, Yang Chen took out the spirit stones from his Storage Bag.
“Three million ordinary spirit stones, no haggling. Shopkeeper, I’m not stingy. Indeed, the materials on the list are abundant, but for each one you manage to find, or even just a tiny piece of information, I’ll add another three million. Consider this carefully. If you’re not interested, I can find someone else. There are plenty of people who would jump at the opportunity to make a fortune like this,” said Yang Chen with a yawn, looking laid-back.
The shopkeeper weighed the Storage Bag and inhaled sharply; the three million spirit stones were indeed a considerable amount.
Instantly, a greedy thought crossed his mind, only to subside quickly as he noticed Yang Chen’s faint aura, filling him with a chill.
“True Martial Realm!” whispered the shopkeeper to himself.
He realized that having malicious thoughts in front of a martial artist at the True Martial Realm was akin to seeking death. How could someone capable of producing such a vast amount of spirit stones be ordinary?
Once he put his greed aside, he pondered Yang Chen’s words more carefully.
Three million spirit stones for a single piece of information led the shopkeeper to grin from ear to ear. Without a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Young man, rest assured, I’ll spare no effort. Should I search the entire city for you?”
Yang Chen nodded in agreement.
After giving his instructions, Yang Chen was about to return to his room to cultivate further when a group of martial artists dressed in Black Dragon Sect attire rushed out of the inn.
“We’ve got news, let’s go find them!”
“Don’t let them escape!”
The Black Dragon Sect martial artists, both young and old, left the inn together with great urgency. They seemed to be dealing with a very important matter, but it was unclear what exactly they were up to.
Yang Chen might have disregarded any other type of news, but when it involved the Black Dragon Sect…
Ever since he arrived at Huangsha County, these Black Dragon Sect martial artists had made numerous appearances. At first, Yang Chen didn’t pay much attention to them—the Black Dragon Sect was a Super Power, after all, and it was normal for their martial artists to be spread throughout the thirty-six Eastern Counties.
Places without Black Dragon Sect martial artists were simply places they deemed unworthy of their attention.
However, the frequency of their appearances had become too frequent, and it seemed as if they were searching for something.
Curious, Yang Chen asked the innkeeper about it.
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s question, the innkeeper couldn’t help but chuckle, albeit somewhat nervously, “Young man, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but we’re talking about the Black Dragon Sect here. Who would dare to get involved? If they found out, our lives would be in danger!”
Yang Chen, a martial artist at the True Martial Realm, was formidable, but against the Black Dragon Sect, the innkeeper knew better than to take any chances.
Seeing the innkeeper’s caution, Yang Chen wasn’t surprised. After a brief smirk, he said nonchalantly, “Take a look at these.”
As he spoke, he presented another Storage Bag.
“This…young man, this isn’t just about spirit stones, you…huh?” The innkeeper examined the contents of the Storage Bag, and his eyes widened in shock at the five whole Supreme Grade spirit stones inside!
Though they weren’t as valuable as Heavenly treasures, they still amounted to a significant sum.
After glancing around surreptitiously, the innkeeper pocketed the Storage Bag with a sly grin, “Young man, I’ll tell you, but you have to promise not to mention that you heard it from me. If this matter gets traced back to the Black Dragon Sect, I, a mere innkeeper, would not be able to handle the consequences!”
“I understand, you can go ahead and tell me,” Yang Chen assured him.
The innkeeper took a deep breath, “To be honest, at first, I thought this may have had something to do with Yang Chen. He’s been issued a wanted order across all thirty-six Eastern Counties, with the Black Dragon Sect specifically hunting him down.”
