The Story Never Ends

"Young Master, aren\'t you curious why we merchant who just met outside are together here?" After the child brought the dishes and liquors, Luke finally broke the silence.

"Indeed. How can I not be?" Davion responded with a smile on his face. They were now starting to get to the point.

"It\'s due to the fact that we wanted to trade some rare materials among ourselves. This is also why we invited you. After all, you seem to be rich, and the reason why you are here must not only be for having a feast, isn\'t it?" Luke spoke confidently.

"Of course. I am actually here to buy some treasures. But I was meant to be disappointed. I didn\'t find a single useful thing here." Davion lifted a bottle of wine and gulped it down, expressing his sorrows.

This immediately made them delighted. It seemed like their task would be easier than they had imagined.

"Then, Young Master, can you tell us what exactly are you looking for? There might be a possibility of us having that item." Naomi was curious.

"Nah, I don\'t think so. I heard that item is even precious to the four major clans and is terrifyingly expensive." Davion didn\'t bother to say it as how can these so-called fake merchants from the tinpot panther tribe possess the fairy pill?

"Young Master, how can you doubt us this easily?" Logan was displeased.

"Logan, stop it. It might be because the Young Master doesn\'t know much about us." Luke raised his hand.

"I hope so," Logan muttered.

"That\'s why we will show him who we truly are." Luke took out a small cubical box from his spirit ring and said, "Young Master, this is a pill that I obtained by chance during my visit to the Lobelia City that lies in the Dragon\'s territory."

He opened the lid, and a strong medical fragrance was released in the air. Just by smelling it caused Davion\'s experience points to increase by a certain value.

"This pill.." His heartbeat sped up rapidly in excitement. He knew what this pill could be.

"A Soul Strengthening Pill." Siena, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke. As someone who had taken it, she recognized it in an instant.

"Young Master, don\'t tell me this is what you were looking for?" Seeing their reaction, he was sure about it.

"What a coincidence!" Davion nodded in agreement. But his mind was thinking about what motives they had behind all this.

"Haha, it seems like we were fated to meet with each other." Luke laughed and raised his glass towards him.

Davion too raised his and both took a sip together.

"Now, Young Master, what do you want to exchange it with?" Luke asked.

"What do you want? Spirit stones, pills, or middle-grade spiritual artifacts?" Davion acted in a haughty manner.

"Sheesh" They sucked in a cold breath in astonishment. It looked like they have still underestimated the wealth of this person.

"We have to catch him by any means." They steeled their resolve as the last bit of their hesitation disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"So, did you make up your mind?" Davion wanted to know what they were after.

Luke put his hand on his chin looking as if in deep thought. However, he was laughing wildly from within his heart.

"Haha, brat you are too naïve. Who cares what I ask for. We will be plundering everything you have in the end. As for the pill, although I stole it from someone else, it will be returning back to me too. There is nothing but profit for me."

Thus, he randomly chose one.

"Young master, I would like to exchange for middle-grade spiritual artifacts." He bowed.

"No problem." Davion passed him a spirit ring that he had prepared not long ago.

"My God!" Luke had his mouth wide open in disbelief. He saw spears, swords, bows, shields, and many more. There were all types of artifacts.

"This should be enough." Davion took the pill and stored it in his spirit ring.

When Naomi and Logan saw Luke\'s expression, they became jealous. So, they also took out their goods.

"Young Master, this is an old map that I obtained in an ancient ruin located in the Black Tortoise territory many years ago." Logan had a worn-out scroll in his hands that was yet to be unfurled.

"Oh! Where does this map lead to?" Davion was interested.

"Location of one of the Nine Holy Fires: The Icy Heaven Flame," Logan answered.

"Are you sure?" Davion was shell-shocked. He had heard that these flames were all legendary and existed since the beginning of time. Moreover, if found then they would be refined straight away. So, not many people knew where they were located or are located right now.

Not only that, but if the location of this flame were to be revealed, then the whole world would run into chaos. Experts from all over the world would be intrigued as it is considered to be the greatest treasure bred by heavens and earth.

"Of course. Why do I lie to you?" Logan looked smug.

"I don\'t think so. If it were as you mentioned, then why didn\'t you go and obtain that flame by yourself?" Siena coldly asked.

"Eh! This…" Logan shuttered and didn\'t know what to say.

"Humph! Show us the map first." Siena ordered in a hostile tone. Did they think that they were pushovers?

"Lady, it\'s not that.." Before Logan could finish his sentence, Siena flicked her hand and the scroll automatically escaped out of his hand.

She caught it and unfurled it at once.

"Let me see it too." Davion extended his head and observed it carefully.

"Damn, now I know why he was not revealing much about it. This place lies deep in the ocean; the true territory of the Black Tortoise Clan. The place nobody dares to venture." He understood everything.

"Furthermore, did he think that I would lose interest and not buy it after knowing this information?" Others would have definitely done this due to fear of the Black Tortoise Clan. But it was not the case for him.

"Here, take this in exchange for your map." Davion threw a spirit ring to him.

Logan looked through it and had the same reaction as Luke.

"So many pills…" Yes, they were the pills Davion had stolen from the Alchemy Store of the Golden Lion Tribe.

"Have you gone mad? Why are you buying this useless thing?"

"Don\'t you know that nobody dares to go there? In addition, who knows, if the flame is still there? I think it might have been refined already." Siena scolded.

"It makes sense. But it\'s all speculation. You will never know without going there." Davion wouldn\'t back down this easily.

"Wow! Young Master. You are a true man." The others praised him while Siena simply shook her head in annoyance.

"Whatever. It\'s futile to worry about this scoundrel in the first place."

"Young Master, now it\'s my turn. My item is far greater than anything they have shown." Naomi grinned and took out a small pebble having the size of a fingernail. It appeared white and was radiating weird energy that felt completely different from the aura of heavens and earth.

"Isn\'t this a Saint Crystal?" Siena cried out in surprise.

"Saint Crystal?" Davion was new to this term.

"Yes, a Saint Crystal contains the essence, understanding, and comprehension of a Saint Realm Expert. It can be formed in two ways. Either after the death of a Saint or inside the dwellings of a Saint. In simple words, it is a part of their law body." Siena explained.

"What is this law body?" Davion was new to everything.

Siena put her hand on her forehead and sighed, "You are clueless about almost everything. Let me explain it to you from the beginning."

"First once you master the power of law, you will step into the Venerable Stage. Next, you will begin comprehending more laws. And at last, to reach the Saint Realm you have to form this law body."

"It is an entity formed by combining one\'s body, soul Qi, spiritual arts, laws, and everything they had learned during their cultivation. They transform into a completely different life form at this stage. This is the body of a Saint."

"Oh! Doesn\'t this mean that the more laws and spiritual arts you master, the more powerful your law body becomes?" Davion was beaming with excitement thinking about this.

"Yes. That\'s why there is no such thing as early stages or middle stages at this level. Your strength completely depends on the formation of your law body." Siena told everything she knew.

"Hehe, it looks like I can use my panel to master thousands of spiritual arts and form a godly and unrivaled law body in the future." Davion had an evil smile on his face; giving goosebumps to everyone in the room.

"So, what benefits can this Saint Crystal provide me at the moment? I believe I am weak currently.." Davion was eager to know.
