Chapter 66

The Black Moon Merchant Guild trip was smooth and without any problems.

But when Itachi entered the guild and went looking for the Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal, he received the news that the Crystal had already been sold to a boy who left the store not long ago. Itachi asked the shopkeeper if there would be another Crystal in the next few days, but he was told that a new Crystal would not appear until next year, which was too long for Itachi to wait.

Knowing that he could only obtain the Crystal from the boy who had recently bought it, Itachi quickly left the store and went in search of the one who purchased the Crystal, and thanks to the information given by the guild, he had no trouble finding his target.

When the shopkeeper described the appearance of the boy who bought the Crystal, he felt a strange feeling, as if he had seen the boy before, and after finding the boy, he was sure that he had seen him.

"Xiao Che..." Itachi thought as he looked at the boy walking down a relatively secluded street.

Since they had never really met before, Itachi felt that there would be no problem buying this Crystal as long as he offered double the price, so he quickly appeared in front of Yun Che, startling the boy momentarily.

"You bought the Devil's, Flaming Blood Crystal? I offer you double the price you paid." Itachi said in a calm voice.

Yun Che, who was walking back to the hotel he was staying in, never expected that someone would stop him on the street to want to buy the Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal, which he had just bought. Moreover, he never expected that the person who would like to acknowledge the Crystal would be the very person responsible for ruining his marriage.

"I can't let him know..." Yun Che thought.

Even if he has a trace of hatred and resentment for Itachi ruining his marriage and putting him through considerable embarrassment, he knew he couldn't let him find out. After all, the difference in cultivation between them was too much.

Just the pressure alone of Itachi in front of him was already pressing him to the point where it became hard to breathe, so what would happen if he offended such a person? Of course, Yun Che still had no interest in selling the Devil Flaming Blood Crystal to Itachi, first because he didn't like Itachi, and second because the Crystal had an essential use for his plans to get stronger.

Itachi didn't need to hear Yun Che's answer to know that Yun Che would refuse. That was because Yun Che's body reaction already showed his refusal. He also realized that Yun Che in front of him seemed to have some disagreement with him.

He knew that if he used his strength, he could quickly obtain this Crystal, but Itachi still chose not to use his power, at least not for now. He felt it would be beneath him to hurt someone to get this Crystal. Furthermore, he realized that Yun Che seemed to be thinking.

"I can give you this Crystal, but I need to know what use you have for a Crystal-like this? And I also need you to help me with something two months later." Yun Che said. At the end of his speech, a smile appeared on his face.

Itachi noticed Yun Che's smile and thought Yun Che was up to something strange.

"A friend is poisoned, and I can help you two months later... As long as it's not something that leads to my death."

Itachi's calm voice gave some chills to Yun Che, who nodded as if to tell Itachi that he would only have to do a small action two months later.

Yun Che, when he heard that a girl was poisoned, he thought about offering to help heal her, but after thinking some more, he gave up on that idea. The man before him had stolen his wife, so why would he help? The exchange he made with Itachi today will be highly beneficial for him, mainly because Itachi agreed to his request, which means that in two months, he will have an expert following him, which would be extremely helpful for what he would like to accomplish.

Grabbing the Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal, Itachi flew into the sky as he disappeared into the horizon, but not before leaving with Yun Che a device that could warn him when Yun Che needed his help.

Jasmine, who was in his Universe, seemed to have sensed some peculiarities with Yun Che, so she didn't avoid it and commented on it with Itachi.

"I also realized this. The first time I saw him, he was just a cripple, but now his Profound Veins seem to be back to normal, plus his cultivation has already reached the Profound True Realm." Itachi commented calmly.

He had already realized that Yun Che had unusual talent by the standards of this Empire, especially if you consider that he had a disability not long ago.

"Anyway, that's not important. I must return to the sect with the Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal."

This was Itachi's last thought to Jasmine before he shut up and concentrated on getting back to the sect.

"Hmph! You care about that woman... You even bought clothes for her." Jasmine said with a snort as she walked back to the house she was staying in.

"..."

Itachi didn't respond to her speech and just continued flying back to the sect.
