Chapter 2737: Chapter 2737: Exchange with the Divine Crystal!
"Have you ever felt greed, Thirteenth Prince?"
Hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s words, Wyatt Barnes gave him a deep look.
"To be honest, I did feel greed rise in my heart."
Crue Dragonsmith spoke frankly.
Under the sudden cold stare of Wyatt Barnes, he smiled bitterly and said, "However, I thought about how I had already given the formula for the Rowan Heaven Pill, and even if I ordered Francis Bushell against Miss Leilany, imprisoning her, I might not necessarily obtain the Divine Ability or Immortal Method she possesses... my greed dissipated."
"Rather than take a risk, I’d prefer to play it safe."
Crue Dragonsmith said candidly.
Hearing this, Wyatt Barnes’s cold gaze softened again, and after taking a deep look at Crue Dragonsmith, he said, "The Thirteenth Prince is a wise man."
"If I wasn’t quick-witted, I wouldn’t have made it this far."
Ernesto Dragonsmith sighed.
"Brother Barnes."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Crue Dragonsmith looked at Wyatt Barnes, "I have a friend who has an Immortal Artifact that can conceal certain auras, including the aura of flesh and blood... Once we return to the palace and settle you in, I’ll do my best to ask him for it for Miss Leilany."
"An Immortal Artifact like that exists?"
Wyatt Barnes was a bit surprised.
"Yes."
Crue Dragonsmith nodded, "But it is extremely rare... and besides, the reason it’s considered an Immortal Artifact is purely because of its ability to conceal auras. The Immortal Artifact itself possesses no offensive or defensive capabilities."
"Thus, it’s regarded as quite trivial among Immortal Artifacts. My friend collects all sorts of strange items, which is why he has this particular Immortal Artifact."
Crue Dragonsmith explained.
"Thirteenth Prince!"
Wyatt Barnes’s face turned serious as he earnestly said, "Although I’m not fond of forcing others to part with their possessions, if your friend truly has such an Immortal Artifact, I would like to ask for it for Leilany... Please ask him to name his price when you approach him."
Wyatt Barnes planned to use spirit stones to purchase the Immortal Artifact.
After all, the Immortal Artifact was too important for Leilany.
Just as Crue Dragonsmith mentioned, if anyone could detect Leilany’s youthful aura of under a hundred years and combine it with her demonstrated strength, they would certainly conclude that her background is extraordinary, thus developing greed for the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities she possesses.
At that point, Leilany would undoubtedly be in danger.
That was something he did not want to see.
"Brother Barnes, my friend doesn’t need spirit stones... Also, to be honest, even I can’t guarantee that I can acquire the Immortal Artifact from him, I can only try my best."
Seeing Wyatt Barnes’s interest piqued, Crue Dragonsmith couldn’t help but smile wryly, giving Wyatt Barnes a ’warning’ in advance.
"Then I have to trouble you."
Hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s words, Wyatt Barnes remembered that Crue Dragonsmith had indeed mentioned the words ’try his best’ when talking about requesting the Immortal Artifact, indicating that he couldn’t guarantee acquiring the Immortal Artifact with absolute certainty.
"It’s no trouble, no trouble..."
Crue Dragonsmith quickly shook his head and continued to lead the way, guiding Wyatt Barnes and Leilany into the palace and back to his mansion.
Once Wyatt Barnes and Leilany were settled, he left with Francis Bushell.
As the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family, even if he wasn’t favored by the Emperor, his palace was still vast, covering a large area. The courtyard arranged for Wyatt Barnes and Leilany was several times larger than the rooms of the Travelling Years Inn.
"Brother Wyatt, since the item in that person’s hand is useful for Leilany... Leilany can just go and snatch it."
In the room, Leilany said to Wyatt Barnes.
Even though Wyatt Barnes had been guiding the innocent and naive Leilany onto the ’right path’ along the way, some concepts of right and wrong, and values, could not be changed overnight and required sufficient time for Leilany to adapt.
"Leilany."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "I told you before, it’s not right to steal someone’s things for no reason... Moreover, even if you want to take it, you need to have the strength to do so. If this person is a friend of the Thirteenth Prince, and even the Thirteenth Prince can’t guarantee obtaining it from him, it means his background is not simple."
"Such a person, even if their strength isn’t as great as yours, might have someone by their side stronger than you."
Wyatt Barnes said.
Leilany fell silent, pouting her lips, giving a pitiful expression that almost melted Wyatt Barnes’s heart, "Leilany, don’t worry... I’ll do my best to get that Immortal Artifact for you."
"Okay."
Leilany nodded obediently, then her eyes lit up as she asked, "Brother Wyatt, when are we going out to have some fun? Since we came here, Leilany hasn’t had a chance to go out and have fun... Leilany wants to buy lots of fun things and eat lots of delicious foods."
"In a few days... For now, you should stay here and focus on your training."
Wyatt Barnes said.
"Alright."
Although somewhat reluctant, Leilany nodded compliantly.
Seeing Leilany reveal the ’Divine Crystal’ on her necklace, preparing to train, Wyatt Barnes left the room.
There were also many formations arranged around this room, so Wyatt Barnes wasn’t worried about the Spiritual Energy within spilling out.
Additionally, this room was located at the rear yard of this courtyard, far from the front courtyard where the main gate was, with a row of rooms in between...
Thus, he wasn’t worried about the Upper Immortal by the Thirteenth Prince’s side sensing the liquid Spiritual Energy emitted from Leilany’s Divine Crystal.
After leaving the room, Wyatt Barnes waited in the front yard for news from the Thirteenth Prince.
"Brother Barnes."
About an hour later, Wyatt welcomed the Thirteenth Prince, Crue Dragonsmith, who wore a face full of wry smiles and guilt, causing Wyatt’s heart to sink involuntarily.
"Does he not agree?"
Though he had anticipated the outcome, Wyatt couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s not that he doesn’t agree... He wants to meet you, Brother Barnes."
Crue Dragonsmith said with a wry smile, "He said... He can give you that Immortal Artifact, but he has a ’condition’ that he wants to discuss with you personally."
"Brother Barnes, I’m sorry."
Later, Crue Dragonsmith apologized once more.
"Where is he?"
Wyatt stood up and asked.
"Brother Barnes is going to see him?"
Crue Dragonsmith was taken aback at first, then said with a bitter smile, "Brother Barnes, my friend, will not engage in a losing deal... The ’condition’ he proposes to you is likely to trouble you quite a bit."
"No matter how difficult, I must meet this friend of yours... That Immortal Artifact is very important to me."
Wyatt’s eyes flashed, and he said solemnly.
"If that’s the case, Brother Barnes, please come with me."
Led by Crue Dragonsmith, Wyatt left the palace once again and finally arrived outside a secluded mansion in the eastern part of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.
This mansion occupied a vast area but was extraordinarily quiet, with no one in sight.
Although Wyatt and his companions arrived outside the mansion, the gate opened on its own, and Wyatt could be sure that there was no one behind it, proving that a powerful individual at a distance had opened it.
And that person surely knew they had arrived.
However, he couldn’t detect the other party’s Divine Sense, which was enough to demonstrate the profoundness of the other party’s cultivation.
"Let’s go."
Crue Dragonsmith was unfazed, called to Wyatt, and then took the lead into the mansion ahead.
As Wyatt followed Crue Dragonsmith, he glanced back at the Heaven Realm Upper Immortal, Francis Bushell. He found Francis, with a heavy expression on his face, filled with deep apprehension as he followed them into the mansion.
It was as if he was deeply wary of the one who opened the door.
"It seems... the Thirteenth Prince’s friend is no ordinary person."
In Wyatt’s view, this was likely a display of the skills of the powerful individual beside Crue Dragonsmith’s friend.
Until he followed Crue Dragonsmith into the mansion and reached the backyard, he realized:
The person who acted was not a powerful individual beside Crue Dragonsmith’s friend, but Crue Dragonsmith’s friend himself, as there was no one else in the entire mansion except for him.
"Brother Patel."
After greeting his friend, Crue Dragonsmith began introducing Wyatt, "This is the ’Brother Barnes’ I mentioned to you earlier."
Wyatt then began to earnestly observe Crue Dragonsmith’s friend.
This was a young man in a white robe, ordinary in appearance, but his eyes revealed endless experiences, indicating that his age was not young.
Furthermore, when this white-robed youth looked at him, Wyatt felt an unprecedented sense of vulnerability.
Since coming to this world of Spiritual Heaven, it was the first time he had this feeling.
Even back when he faced the Immortal Lord from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect at King Cooper’s mansion in the Cloud Rock Immortal Nation, when the old woman gazed at him, he never had this feeling.
"I heard from Crue Dragonsmith... that you want the ’Concealment Pendant’ in my possession?"
The white-robed youth looked at Wyatt and asked.
Although Wyatt was hearing about the ’Concealment Pendant’ for the first time, he could easily guess that it must be the Immortal Artifact he desired to conceal Leilany’s blood and flesh aura, hiding her age of less than a hundred years.
"Yes."
Wyatt nodded.
"I can give you the Concealment Pendant... But you need to agree to one condition."
The white-robed youth said.
"What condition?"
Wyatt asked, his heart hanging in suspense as the Thirteenth Prince had warned him beforehand that the white-robed youth wouldn’t engage in a losing deal.
"Crue, there are some things I’d like to say to him in private."
After greeting Crue Dragonsmith, before he could respond, the white-robed youth raised his hand, and an invisible force swept out, laying down a soundproof barrier that enveloped him and Wyatt, separating Crue Dragonsmith and Francis.
"If you want the Concealment Pendant, exchange it for the ’Divine Crystal’ hanging from that girl’s necklace pendant!"
After arranging the soundproof barrier, the white-robed youth gazed directly at Wyatt and spoke word by word.
