Chapter 94 – Jiang Hao Complaining!

The Elder’s expression turned extremely grim!

The Blood Cloud Shuttle was his trump card among Flight Treasures, displayed at his stall to showcase his prestige.

Now, it had actually caught Ye Sheng’s eye!

And was being used as a bargaining chip!

If it were any other Flight Treasure, he wouldn’t hesitate to trade, but the Blood Cloud Shuttle was different…

For a moment, the Elder’s eyes flickered uncertainly, unable to make up his mind.

Ye Sheng stared intently at the Elder, his gaze also falling on the Blood Cloud Shuttle.

The Blood Cloud Shuttle was an exceptionally renowned Flight Treasure.

Its value was extraordinarily high!

Its speed could reach five thousand kilometers per hour!

But that was only secondary. Most importantly, if pushed to its limits and its potential unleashed, it could achieve an astonishing ten thousand kilometers per hour, sustaining it for ten minutes.

It was a top-tier Flight Treasure for escaping in critical moments, capable of saving one’s life and leaving pursuers far behind.

Ye Sheng kept his eyes fixed on the Elder.

The expression on the Elder’s face clearly showed deep reluctance.

After a moment, under Ye Sheng’s unwavering gaze, the Elder finally seemed to reach a decision.

Compared to the 400-fold Combat Power gained from completing the set, the Blood Cloud Shuttle had to take a back seat.

“Fine, I’ll trade!”

The Elder clenched his teeth, nodding firmly.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ye Sheng’s face as he handed the two Legendary orange light orbs in his hand to the other party.

The Elder took them and carefully inspected them, confirming that they were indeed the remaining two pieces of the Ghost Mask series, with no issues. Once he had them, he could complete the Ghost Mask set.

He stored the two pieces of equipment away, then, with a pained expression, handed the Blood Cloud Shuttle to Ye Sheng.

“Old Ghost Li still chose to trade! Heh heh!”

“He’s not at a loss either. With the Ghost Mask series completed, the Shadow City Secret Realm now has another 400-fold expert.”

“He’s an Artifice Master. Once he gathers enough materials, he can craft another Blood Cloud Shuttle! But the Ghost Mask series equipment is rare and hard to come by.”

“Exactly! The drop rate for these two pieces isn’t high. Even if others obtain them, they’d use them themselves rather than trade them. I think he came out ahead!”

The onlookers murmured among themselves.

Some felt Old Ghost Li had suffered a loss, while others believed he had gained an advantage.

But everyone’s gaze toward Ye Sheng held a hint of something different.

They secretly thought this young man’s luck was truly remarkable.

To actually possess two pieces of Legendary Grade Equipment!

As Ye Sheng took the Blood Cloud Shuttle in hand, he immediately felt a chilling sensation.

The Blood Cloud Shuttle was entirely blood-red in color. When tossed into the air, it could transform into a small boat, capable of extreme speed.

“With this, the Ghost Mist Boat can be retired!”

Ye Sheng thought to himself that his luck was still quite good. Trading two pieces of equipment he had no use for in exchange for a high-grade Flight Treasure was a profitable deal.

Whoosh!

Storing the Blood Cloud Shuttle away, Ye Sheng looked satisfied. After cupping his hands in salute to the Elder, he left the stall.

As for the Elder, he watched Ye Sheng depart with a pained expression, then promptly packed up his stall and left.

He planned to return and go into seclusion, equip the two Legendary pieces, complete the Ghost Mask series, and Promote his Combat Power to 400-fold!

…

A little over ten minutes later, Ye Sheng entered a teahouse.

He went up to the second floor, chose a seat by the window, and sat down, leisurely watching the bustling street scene outside.

The teahouse was decorated in a classical style, entirely wooden in structure. Sitting here felt like stepping back into ancient times.

“What would you like, sir?”

A waiter dressed in traditional attire approached, bowing and scraping respectfully.

Ye Sheng glanced at him; the waiter was merely a 1st Revolution Cultivator, a cultivation level that made little difference from an ordinary person within the Shadow City Secret Realm!

He must have come with a major faction and taken up work as a waiter here.

Of course, working as a waiter in such a place meant tips were no small sum.

Those who could survive in the Shadow City Secret Realm were all at least 3rd Revolution Cultivators, unlikely to be stingy with a little extra money.

“Bring a pot of tea!”

“Solar Yang Tea!”

Ye Sheng pointed to one of the teas listed on the menu.

Upon hearing this, the waiter’s eyes lit up.

This Solar Yang Tea was expensive!

A single pot cost 2,000 Ghost Spirit Stones.

He could earn a considerable tip from it.

“Right away, please wait a moment!”

The waiter bowed and retreated, leaving only after Ye Sheng gave him 10 Ghost Spirit Stones as a tip, which made the waiter even more enthusiastic.

A short while later, Ye Sheng sipped the Solar Yang Tea.

As soon as the Solar Yang Tea entered his mouth, his entire body felt warm and cozy, with the effect of dispelling Yin Energy.

In the Shadow City Secret Realm, staying for too long would inevitably lead to Yin Energy invading the body. While this Yin Energy was nothing significant to a Cultivator, it still had some effect.

The reason Solar Yang Tea was so expensive was precisely because it possessed the ability to dispel Yin Energy.

“The taste is also quite good!”

A pot of Solar Yang Tea was almost equivalent to a piece of Dark Gold Equipment, but such a small sum was nothing to Ye Sheng now.

Ye Sheng gently sipped the tea, gazing at the bustling scenery on the street, enjoying this brief moment of leisure and relaxing his long-tense nerves.

There were quite a few customers in the teahouse, all chatting while drinking tea.

In a corner on the second floor.

Several young people were gathered together, complaining to each other with bitter smiles.

“If we’re talking about misfortune, none of you have it as bad as me?”

Jiang Hao drank his tea, smiling bitterly while savoring the slight bitterness in the tea.

“We’re all in the same boat!”

Another young man, Han Liang, shook his head, his face equally filled with bitterness.

Jiang Hao set down his teacup and looked at the few classmates before him.

These classmates had all reached the 3rd Revolution Realm.

Usually, they spoke very little in the group chat.

Especially recently, as everyone had come to the Shadow City Secret Realm to prepare for the ‘Federation Grand Examination.’ Since all communication methods failed in the Shadow City Secret Realm, they were completely cut off from the outside world.

Han Liang looked at Jiang Hao, “What’s going on with your Xuanming Pavilion? It’s a top-tier faction in the Netherworld City, after all. How could it collapse so suddenly?

And now you have to rely on that fellow Huang Wenyue?!”

Jiang Hao shook his head and explained the recent awkward situation of Xuanming Pavilion.

After Xuanming Pavilion’s Invincible Realm ‘Xuan Qi’ promoted to the 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm, only ‘Xuan Qing’ remained, unable to hold the fort alone. He could only take a few Elders and hide from place to place.

Unable to bear it, Jiang Hao took the initiative to leave and sought refuge with Huang Wenyue, who was in the Invincible Realm.

Upon hearing this, Han Liang and the other 3rd Revolution classmates couldn’t help but sigh.

Han Liang shook his head again, “Such a powerful faction like Xuanming Pavilion actually has no successor in the Invincible Realm?

Truly, each generation is worse than the last…

These Upper Echelons only care about themselves!”

Another 3rd Revolution classmate, Du Yu, set down his teacup and laughed, “That ‘Xuan Qing’ really has it rough!

He’s a dignified Invincible Realm cultivator, yet he’s being chased around and beaten! Completely defenseless! Haha!”

Jiang Hao said helplessly, “This Xuan Qing’s offensive power is less than 500 times, only his defensive capabilities are extremely strong!

Without ‘Xuan Qi,’ the Invincible Realm cultivator, he can only take a beating!”

“Sticking with him is just too frustrating, so I had to leave.”

Han Liang said, “I’ve had it pretty rough too—the corporate faction I joined went bankrupt! Now I’m practically a lone cultivator!”

Hearing this, Du Yu nearly burst out laughing. “Who told you to have such an unlucky name! Han Liang… ‘Liang’ as in ‘cold’ or ‘doomed’! Even if you join another corporate faction, you’ll probably still end up ‘doomed’! At this rate, who’d dare take you in? Haha!”

Several 3rd Revolution classmates couldn’t help but laugh heartily at this.

Even Jiang Hao couldn’t hold back a chuckle, momentarily forgetting the gloom in his heart as he joined in the laughter.
