"Brother..." Nita tugged on Lein's sleeve, very worried.
Lein still couldn't accept how Elder Wan knew about his potions. He was also surprised that the Blessing Potions were so valuable.
"Hmmm, alright, but I don't have 5 right now. I only have 3 potions."
Lein tried to gamble. He felt Elder Wan didn't know exactly how many Blessing Potions he had. But somehow, Elder Wan could smell the potion's scent on his body.
"Three is fine. You can give the other two later," Elder Wan said calmly.
"Additionally, I also want the Silver Badge."
Lein found Elder Wan easy to talk to. Since Elder Wan said they were making a deal, Lein tried to negotiate.
Sure enough, Elder Wan took out a silver badge.
"Hahaha... Of course. I almost forgot that you are a Player."
"Take it. This item isn't very valuable to us cultivators."
Two Silver Badges appeared in Lein's hands.
[Silver Badge]
A warrior's medal of bravery, having passed the trials of Gayun.
Lein didn't understand what Gayun was or how difficult it was to obtain it. So, he quickly put it in his bag.
At the same time, he also took out the three Blessing Potions he had promised earlier.
As he took out the three Blessing Potions, Elder Wan made a strange gesture. His hand formed a particular pattern, and then their surroundings changed. They were now in a completely different dimension.
"Hahaha... Young master Lein, very good... very good."
Elder Wan glanced at the three potion bottles for a few seconds. He then opened them and inhaled the blessing aroma deeply.
"The last ingredient... Even if it's just three."
Elder Wan sighed deeply.
"Young master Lein, when will you provide the remaining two?"
Lein felt the old man in front of him really needed the Blessing Potions. But he truly couldn't take out more potions. He was worried about arousing others' suspicions.
Elder Wan noticed the difficulty on Lein's face.
Suddenly, Lein's eyes widened this time.
[Elder Wan's Hidden Mission]
- Name: Wan Lu
- Rank: S
- Description: Provide Elder Wan with two Blessing Potions
- Reward: 1,000,000 contribution points.
"Damn... What kind of item am I holding that it has such a high value?" Lein screamed in his heart.
He glanced at his sister Nita beside him.
"Did you see that?" Lein asked.
Nita didn't understand what her brother was asking, she raised her eyebrows as if asking Lein to explain further.
"Ahem... Alright."
"I will provide the remaining two potions in 25 days."
Lein had done the calculations in his head. He neither refused nor gave them too quickly.
[Successfully accepted mission (Elder Wan's Hidden Mission). Deadline 25 days]
"Agreed," Elder Wan smiled broadly. He then released the isolation barrier around them.
Lein saw their surroundings filled with equipment displays once again; they had returned.
"Young master Lein, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Before we part, please accept this Platinum Token from Tou Pavilion."
Elder Wan took out a transparent token. It was shaped like a royal shield but in a small size, about the size of an adult's palm.
Without waiting any longer, Elder Wan disappeared from Lein's sight.
[Tou Pavilion Token - Platinum]
A token only held by a few lucky rulers and highly respected by Tou Pavilion. This token can be used wherever a Tou Pavilion stands.
- Owner: Lein
- Validity: Forever
- Benefits: Prioritized customer at Tou Pavilion and highest privileges.
"Nice item... what happens if I duplicate it?"
Lein glanced at the transparent token in his hand, amazed by the token he held. They had not been in Guandu for a day, yet they had already become platinum-level customers at one of the largest pavilions.
"Brother... Why did Elder Wan act like that?" Nita was still confused about how someone with power above a master negotiated with them as if they were equals.
"I don't know either. Let's just consider ourselves lucky this time."
Lein didn't think further; he really didn't know why Elder Wan didn't rob or force them.
Whatever the case, it was good for them.
They then left the pavilion and intended to try promoting to Tier-2.
***
An old man appeared on a floating island high above the sky. The island was beautiful, with all kinds of natural beauty visible. Waterfalls, forests filled with lush trees, clear rivers with smooth stones, and all kinds of star creatures enjoying life on the island.
However, on the entire island, there was only one white palace in the middle. White swans filled the courtyard, long stairs, and magnificent statues adorned the steps.
Currently, someone was walking through those long stairs with determined steps.
After a few minutes, he reached the palace door and stood still. He just stood there without a sound, without movement, firmly waiting for something.
A moment passed, and finally, a voice was heard from inside the palace.
"Elder Wan, what important news brings you here?" The voice from inside the palace contained a magical power, soft yet reaching Elder Wan's ears clearly.
"Lord Pavilion, I found the last item you requested."
Hearing Elder Wan's words, a young man suddenly appeared in front of him.
The young man was bare-chested. His pants looked like a skirt trailing to the glass floor of the palace. The thin pants gave a soft, relaxed, and smooth feeling to those who saw them.
The Blessing Potion floated in front of the man, then he asked, "Where did you get it?"
Elder Wan explained everything he went through to obtain the Blessing Potions. He dared not hide anything, even explaining Lein's situation without adding or subtracting anything.
"Very good... By the way, give this item to the little guy when he provides the other two potions."
"And also, do not cause him any trouble."
The old man took something out of thin air, then disappeared in an instant.
Elder Wan looked at the item left by the young man.
"It seems I won a big bet this time," Elder Wan smiled slightly. He then turned and walked down the stairs.
