Chapter 147: Chapter 140: Transaction

In an environment rich in Source Power like Pegasus Star, it’s rare for geniuses to emerge.

Fang Yumei deeply understood this. By cultivating step by step, she reached Level 9 at the age of fifty, already becoming a master in her own right.

Similarly, Jiang Yuan, though just a Seventh-level Swordsman, has been overseeing the Sword Dao at Mingjing University for decades.

This used to be perfectly normal.

However, this year the situation is completely different. Kids like Hai Yunxi and Shen Ning, just in their early twenties, are already Seventh-level Swordsmen.

Moreover, there’s a whole batch of super young swordsmen like Shen Ning.

Talents like Qingyi Fei Niao, Jiang Xuejun, Hai Yunfei, and Xu Lingyun all have exceptional potential. At their rate of progress, they could all reach Level 7 in another two years.

Fang Yumei thought this was already exaggerated enough, but then Xin Wuyou and Gao Xuan, such extraordinary geniuses, emerged.

At only eighteen, they are already Seventh-level Swordsmen. Moreover, their swordsmanship is exquisite, and their combat awareness is exceptional. It’s simply terrifying.

In comparison, a genius like Shen Ning is directly overshadowed.

Fang Yumei found this unusual. The sudden rise of so many geniuses, could it be the Source Power environment of Pegasus Star has changed?

Or is there some astonishing mutation?

As a descendant of Huaxia, Fang Yumei believed in Celestial-Human Sensing. Especially with the presence of the Sea of Source Power, if there is a mutation, it’s reasonable for the Sea of Source Power to react specially.

Perhaps, Gao Xuan might be able to open that thing.

Fang Yumei suddenly had this thought, but now was neither the time nor the place to talk with Gao Xuan. She hurriedly left with the students.

In the victor’s domain, it’s best for the defeated to leave quickly.

Gao Xuan had three consecutive clean victories. Gao Xuan also helped everyone vent their anger.

In white clothes wielding a sword, Gao Xuan resembled a Sword Immortal riding the wind. His carefree yet noble demeanor won over all the spectators.

Among the over a hundred thousand students present, all greatly admired Gao Xuan.

As emotions ran high, someone unknown started shouting Gao Xuan’s name. A group of people then shouted his name in unison, and the mighty roar pierced through the dome, directly penetrating the skies.

The entire Mingjing University could hear the cheering.

Naturally, there were many smart people on-site, who edited the footage with exhilarating music and posted it on forums or shared it on video sites.

Gao Xuan’s name quickly spread, becoming a hero of Mingjing University.

Mingjing University has enormous influence in Mingjing. Spreading from Mingjing University, Gao Xuan’s name quickly became known.

Red Flame was focused on driving, while Little White Pig was browsing videos. Watching the video of Gao Xuan, it clucked and sighed, “As expected, being handsome is an advantage. Winning a few matches shakes the world.”

It shook its little pig hoof in some discontent, “Great Divine Lord, why didn’t you give me a handsome face but made me a pig? I can’t even play with women, truly miserable.”

Little White Pig grew more and more saddened as it spoke, tears welling up in its tiny bean-sized eyes, “Red Flame, I’m suffering…”

Red Flame focused on driving, as if not hearing Little White Pig’s words.

Little White Pig got a bit angry and tapped Red Flame with its pig hoof, “I’m talking to you, mister!”

“Do you want me to convey this to the master? I will.” Red Flame said coldly.

Little White Pig quickly put on a funny yet ugly smile, “Just joking, hahaha.”

Then it unwillingly said, “You know, I used to be mighty and powerful, all females liked me.”

Little White Pig couldn’t help but say, “Now I happen to have some free time, Red Flame, arrange a few beauties for me.”

“For a beauty of your size, I can’t find any. I’ll find you two little sows.” Red Flame said very seriously.

Little White Pig glared fiercely with its bean eyes at Red Flame, really wanting to bite this fool to death.

Unfortunately, the other party is a Level 10 expert and not easy to kill. Moreover, they are Luojia’s personal bodyguard. If it dared to kill Red Flame, Luojia would definitely skin it alive and roast it. The key is it doesn’t have that capability now.

Red Flame said, “We’re here.”

Little White Pig glanced out of the car window, noticing it was in front of Yuanlong Mansion. It fumbled absently with its nose, “Let’s go, nobody’s here.”

Upon arriving in Mingjing City, Little White Pig had been wandering around everywhere.

It had a superpower, being able to smell the scent of powerful individuals.

It sounded a bit like a dog, but in reality, its ability was much more powerful than that of a dog.

Every person, every being, has a unique scent.

With over 300 million people in Mingjing City, if Little White Pig wished, it could distinguish everyone by scent. Even a blade of grass by the roadside has its unique scent.

Over the past few days, Little White Pig had been circling Yuanlong Mansion several times. If Blood Shadow had been there, it would certainly find their scent.

Regrettably, over the past few days, there was no discovery.

Little White Pig also visited the scene where Blood Shadow killed, wandering a few laps, but the time gap was too long, it couldn’t identify Blood Shadow’s scent anymore.

There’s no other way, Little White Pig could only wander around hoping to discover something.

Tonight it went to the big auditorium at Mingjing University because it smelled many experts there, just to join the excitement.

As a result, it found nothing. It just witnessed Gao Xuan displaying his Divine Power.

Little White Pig wasn’t much concerned with Gao Xuan, although the youth is a genius, he’s too weak to warrant serious attention.

If Luojia truly finds Gao Xuan useful, Luojia would come to handle it naturally, without needing it to worry.

The most crucial thing now is finding Blood Shadow, digging out the network behind Blood Shadow, and confirming Blood Shadow’s real objectives to ensure Luojia’s performance safety.

Thus, even at night, Little White Pig didn’t rest and was driving around with Red Flame.

Yuanlong Mansion, of course, was Little White Pig’s key surveillance target.

“Yan Qingge is also present, and Yan Qingfeng is there too; they have no idea what they’re researching.”

Little White Pig muttered softly, not paying much attention.

It had contact with the Zhongjing Yan Family, a millennium noble family that is extremely corrupt and decadent, filled with a sense of decline. Such a family doesn’t strictly adhere to the rules and dares not act recklessly.

The Yan Family and Yuanlong Company only have a simple collaboration relationship and are unaware of Blood Shadow’s situation.

For this reason, Luojia even specifically inquired with the high-level members of the Yan Family. The information wouldn’t be wrong.

Little White Pig didn’t care about these things and soon left with Red Flame.

In the reception room of Yuanlong Mansion, Yan Qingge, Yan Qingfeng, Wei Yue, and Wei Ming were sitting together chatting over tea.

Wei Ming had a smile on his face but was very vigilant inside.

This time, Yan Qingfeng came from Zhongjing with a few very formidable experts. It’s unclear what the meaning behind this is.

Although both parties share a collaborative relationship, they can’t be completely unguarded. What if the Yan Family wants to play tricks?

Yan Qingfeng appeared very relaxed; he was eloquent and knowledgeable. With him present, the atmosphere never turned awkward.

Wei Yue actually disliked idle chatter, but Yan Qingfeng was a guest of honor, and also the Yan Family’s representative in Yuanlong Company, responsible for various specific tasks.

This was different from Yan Qingge. In Yuanlong Company, Yan Qingge was merely a figurehead, never interfering in specific tasks or having any opinions on matters.

Wei Yue always felt that Yan Qingge lingering in Mingjing had ulterior motives. But since the other party didn’t say anything, she thought it inappropriate to ask.

Having endured listening to their small talk for some time, Yan Qingge finally couldn’t hold back: “President Wei, I have something to attend to with Mr. Blood Shadow. Could you help me contact him once more?”

This time, Wei Yue didn’t respond evasively; she nodded slightly.

Given the nature of their relationship, continuing to feign ignorance would be pointless.

Once Yan Qingge expressed her intentions, she felt relieved and lost interest in the small talk. She immediately left with Yan Qingfeng.

After the siblings left, Wei Ming skeptically said, “What are these two scheming about?”

Wei Yue shrugged: “How would I know?”

Wei Ming thought for a moment and said, “It certainly has something to do with Blood Shadow. I suspect they made some deal with Blood Shadow.”

He scratched his head and said, “Why don’t you ask Blood Shadow?”

“Do you think that’s appropriate?” Wei Yue gave her cousin a look, knowing it was taboo to inquire about a partner’s business secrets. Wei Ming seemed a bit confused…

Wei Ming said, “Under normal circumstances, it’s not appropriate to ask. But I somehow feel like there’s no harm in asking.”

“What do you mean?” Wei Yue slightly frowned, wondering why even Wei Ming was joining in the speculation.

Wei Ming chuckled awkwardly: “Don’t be mad. I know there’s nothing between you and Blood Shadow. But, I always felt Blood Shadow should know you.”

Wei Yue replied in frustration, “You know everyone I know. Tell me, who is Blood Shadow?”

“It’s just a feeling.”

Wei Ming also knew it was unreliable since those around them were investigated countless times due to Blood Shadow.

If there were indeed any Blood Shadow among these people, it would have been uncovered long ago.

In the end, Wei Ming said, “For the sake of the company, you should ask Mr. Blood Shadow. If he doesn’t respond, then so be it. What’s there to be afraid of asking, especially since he’s still a consultant and relies on us for help.”

“I understand.”

Wei Yue waved her hand to dismiss Wei Ming and contacted Blood Shadow.

She explained Yan Qingge’s matter and mentioned acquiring six Cloud Burst Shock Bombs, asking Blood Shadow how to proceed next.

Upon receiving the message, Gao Xuan was pleased.

Cloud Burst Shock Bombs weren’t a big deal, and there were many channels to obtain them. Asking Wei Yue for help was just for convenience.

Yan Qingge’s reply indicated there was news about the Dimensional Silver Mirror. The Yan Family indeed had some energy, not to be underestimated.

However, dealing with a family like the Yan Family wasn’t easy. Extracting benefits from them wouldn’t be simple.

A Dimensional Silver Mirror worth tens of billions–would anyone easily give it to you?

Anyone would take a close look at the trading party.

Gao Xuan wasn’t afraid of the other party playing tricks; he hoped those experts would be a bit capable.

He contacted Yan Qingge through the Dark Web and enabled a one-way video.

Yan Qingge felt a bit anxious watching the pitch-black screen but maintained a composed face: “Your Excellency Blood Shadow, I have acquired the items you requested.”

Yan Qingge opened a metal briefcase, revealing an antique-looking silver mirror inside.

The mirror had a small handle, with a silver engraved back, and its surface rippled like water.

Generally speaking, marvels must be authenticated on-site.

Gao Xuan, possessing the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, could still discern the silver mirror’s condition even through electronic signals.

The source power reaction on the silver mirror was obscure and deep, and the handle bore a line of strange symbols Gao Xuan recognized: Holding me is equivalent to holding the whole world.

The marvel script is one type of manifestation of the rules of marvels. However, the script is extremely complex, and the symbols contain the meaning of the manifested rules.

In other words, it’s not enough to just look at the shape of the symbols; each symbol also has a unique source power fluctuation. Together, this helps decode the marvel script.

Gao Xuan had learned some scripts through the Book of All-Knowing, so decoding such simple marvel scripts wasn’t difficult.

The symbols of the script can be imitated, but the unique source power aura of the script cannot be forged. He could confirm it was the real deal.

Gao Xuan said, “The item is correct. We can proceed with the transaction.”

Yan Qingge looked at her brother with some difficulty, feeling embarrassed to negotiate with Blood Shadow.

Yan Qingfeng smiled as he appeared on the screen: “Your Excellency Blood Shadow, we are sincerely interested in the deal. However, this is indeed a significant transaction.”

“How do you wish to conduct the transaction?” Gao Xuan directly asked.

Yan Qingfeng was momentarily taken aback, wondering if all assassins are this straightforward.

Yan Qingfeng cautiously said, “Here’s the deal: you first teach Qingge the secret technique, and we take five days to verify it. If there are no issues, we will deliver the Dimensional Silver Mirror to you…”
