Chapter 841: Chapter 274: “Fine, fine, fine.” _3

Different items have drastically different prices on different continents.

Ordinary people lack the ability to traverse continents, even some top forces don’t have this ability. The Bai Family has this ability, relying on shuttling back and forth between continents to engage in arbitrage. Saying the Bai Family is as rich as a country might be an exaggeration, but their financial resources are certainly strong, otherwise, they wouldn’t have had so many Spirit Stones to gift others over the years.

And this Jade Scroll was handed to him by a servant.

The Jade Scroll contained only one message.

“Chen Qiu has been to the underworld in Xuantian Continent.”

An extremely simple piece of intelligence.

The underworld is unknown to ordinary people, and common folk have even less opportunity to visit, but in First Grade Continent, as long as you have certain fate, you can enter. After all, the underworld of lower-grade continents sometimes collapses. If it were just a common person who had gone, it would be one thing, but Chen Qiu was no ordinary individual.

Given that Chen Qiu had been to the underworld, he must certainly have triggered the Heavenly Dao Imperial Decree, thereby obtaining the Luck of Yin Soul.

This was his trust in Chen Qiu. He had met Chen Qiu personally and had recognized his power and capabilities to the utmost extent.

A flicker of light passed through the eyes of the Bai Family Patriarch.

He might be able to collect the first trace of the Luck of Yin Soul, but… although he knew Chen Qiu might have the Luck of Yin Soul, how to trade for it was a problem.

But it must be said—

This was already tremendous news, the biggest progress he had made in years, and the trace of Luck of Yin Soul that felt closest to himself.

Before he could think further,

The Sound Transmission Talisman in his arms suddenly activated; the talisman was from his daughter, the Guardian.

After a few breaths,

The eyes of the Bai Family Patriarch narrowed slightly, he suddenly thought of a great idea. From the detailed report of his old partner, he could tell that, due to not informing his old partner about the happenings in Qi Tian Continent in time, his old partner’s attitude towards Chen Qiu was not very respectful.

Instead, it had a sense of equality.

This was a minor issue.

But he could completely use this as a reason to personally apologize to Chen Qiu and to offer heavier gifts, which may just prepare for the upcoming trade.

As far as he knew, the Luck of Yin Soul was completely useless in the mortal world, but even useless things belonged to someone else, useless in life but useful after death.

This was a perfect excuse.

Otherwise, he had no good reason for a sudden visit, or else why would the mortal world have so many festivals? If there were no festivals, what reasons could one find for a sudden visit? It would be quite abrupt.

“What… what’s happening?”

The woman’s voice was laced with panic: “It couldn’t be… something must have happened to Qiu Er, right?”

“No, she’s still alive,” the Bai Family Patriarch shook his head, “Wait for me at home. I have some errands to run. Something has come up with Qiu Er, we might get a chance at the first trace of Yin Soul. I’ll try and see.”

Then, without any delay,

Anxiety for his daughter meant he couldn’t afford to waste time; he stood up immediately and walked out of the family temple.

…

Second Grade Continent, Vast Continent.

Above the wilderness of the Xuantian State, the Bai Family Patriarch landed next to his daughter following the scent of the Sound Transmission Talisman. The first scene he saw was his long-unseen daughter, alongside Bai Yisheng, who obviously seemed tipsy, his ears turning red.

Bai Yisheng, the Guardian he had personally chosen for his daughter.

“Master.”

“Hmm,” the Bai Family Patriarch’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You’ve already reported almost everything. Can you tell me what Chen Qiu’s reaction was when you brought up the trace of Yin Soul?”

“Well, there wasn’t much of a reaction; he just nodded and said to let him know if there were any updates.”

The Bai Family Patriarch shook his head and said nothing.

He understood his old companion, for having protected his daughter over the years and developed feelings similar to those between a grandfather and granddaughter, which is quite common among Guardians. Initially, all Guardians protect their Young Masters due to their duty, but eventually, they often develop genuine affection and willingly protect their Young Masters.

After all, most Guardians serve for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Such a long time cannot be completely bound by duty alone; it must be bound by affection.

It was just that he was a bit too concerned about Qiu Er, leading to a hasty approach by asking about the Yin Soul right at the first meeting. If it had been someone unaware, they could simply change the topic.

But Chen Qiu quite likely had it, so discussing this right at the first meeting indeed gave off an impression of trying to use favors.

But that wasn’t a big issue.

Having issues gave him a reason to visit.

“Visit again.”

After pondering for a long while, the Bai Family Patriarch decided, “I just received news that Chen Qiu had been to the underworld in Xuantian Continent. This visit is primarily to discuss cooperation, first to trade for the Luck of Yin Soul, and secondly…”

He left the rest unsaid.

He was looking for a new strong support; Ling Pavilion was clearly not reliable anymore, now it was to see if he could rely on Chen Qiu.

The Bai Family didn’t lack Spirit Stones, truly didn’t.

A massive second-tier tradesman; how could he lack Spirit Stones.

“Free travel between lower-tier continents”, this effect could bring huge profits. What it lacked was how to make these Spirit Stones have a greater effect, after all, no matter how many Spirit Stones one has, it couldn’t directly elevate his Cultivation to Immortal Emperor.

That was a completely different matter.

This was also why he gave so many gifts; he didn’t need everyone to remember him and help him, just a third of the people reciprocating his favors meant he profited.

However, many Spirit Stones were tied up in goods; business turnovers do require large amounts of Spirit Stones to be tied up, and in addition, these days for Qiu Er’s matter, he also spent quite a few Spirit Stones, leading to not very abundant liquid Spirit Stones in the family, otherwise, he wouldn’t have prepared only 5 million.
