Death… And Me

Chapter 1432 - More Flowers

The next place the twins went to was a cave abode used by an eccentric cultivator called Arfs. He was the second guy in Valantior that they knew had some Molten Divine Rock Flowers. Fortunately, it was a lot easier to get his. He simply set a price in terms of Divine Stones. ”I have three flowers that I gathered during my last expedition into the Blazing Sands. How about a hundred Rank Two Divine Stones for each?”

In fact, Arfs was being very greedy. Sure, this flower would definitely be worth this much, perhaps even more on other continents. However, it was different in Treavin. Divine Stones were much rarer, so prices are obviously much lower. Usually, Molten Divine Rock Flowers wouldnʼt cost more than 20 or so Rank Two Divine Stones, and not everyone would be willing to pay that much.

”Oh! If thatʼs the case, here you go.” Rean immediately threw 300 Rank Two Divine Stones to Arfs, much to the eccentric manʼs surprise. For Rean, 300 stones werenʼt anything impressive. It was just the price of one of his Element Gathering Equipment, after all.

Arfs was shocked by the amount of Rank Two Divine Stones for a moment before he finally came back to himself. ”Oh! Right! Thank you for the deal.” Naturally, he would not refuse it. He immediately took the Molten Divine Rock Flowers from his spatial ring and mentally cursed himself for not having gathered more.

The twins then left his cave abode, not stopping at all. As for Arfs, he was a Middle Stage Transition Realm cultivator. Because of that, he truly considered whether he should have attacked the twins to see if they were rich as they seemed. However, maybe because he was a seasoned man, he had a lot of experience. Something told him that things definitely wouldnʼt play as he wished if he tried it out. In the end, he decided to guarantee the 300 stones, which was already a huge profit in his eyes.

After that, the twins went to the Formation Guild, where they paid to use the teleport formations. Well, in fact, Roan entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm while Rean changed his appearance once again and teleported alone. Not only could they save Divine Stones like that, but it would be harder to find out who they were.

As Roan mentioned before, the last person the Vulture Organization knew to have Molten Divine Rock Flowers lived close to the Blazing Sands. It was also the area where the flowers could be found, located two regions away from Valantior City. With one teleport after another, they quickly arrived at the City of Disgaio, located in the region of Qataban. That was the closest city to the Blazing Sands, so that was as far as the teleport formations could take Rean.

Roan already told Rean the specific location of the Blazing Sands, especially the location of the person who had more Molten Divine Rock Flowers. After all, the person lived close to that area. With that said, Rean quickly left the city and took Kentucky out of the Dimensional Realm. ”Letʼs go, Kentucky.”

”On it!” Kentucky took flight and disappeared in the distance.

Without teleport formations, things took a lot longer, so Kentucky still took two more days to go from Disgaio to a small settlement close to the Blazing Sands. Along the way, Roan also came out of the Dimensional Realm and flew on Kentuckyʼs back. Once they arrived, Kentucky landed right in the middle of the settlement.

Well, not many paid attention to it as the Blazing Sands was a constantly visited area. Flying demon beasts appearing there wasnʼt anything uncommon. If there was anything that caught the cultivatorʼs attention, it was the fact they had never seen a Demon Bird like Kentucky before, but that was all.

Rean looked around the bustling settlement before looking at Roan, asking, ”So, whatʼs the name of the guy?”

”The guyʼs actually a woman, to be more specific,” Roan replied. ”Her name is Xantanla, a Peak Stage Transition Realm cultivator who lives in this settlement. It seems like sheʼs also the one responsible for the organization of this place.”

Rean nodded before stopping at a stall to inquire about the woman. ”Sorry, friend. Would you perhaps know where I can find Xantanla?”

The vendor looked at Rean in surprise, saying, ”Do you even need to ask? Just head to the biggest building at the center. Where else would you find that demon beast?”

Roan narrowed his eyes in response. The information he got didnʼt mention that Xantanla was a demon beast.

Still, Rean smiled at the vendor before asking something else. ”Friend, do you perhaps know about anyone selling Molten Divine Rock Flowers? We are in need of a few of them.”

”Molten Divine Rock Flowers?” The guy was surprised to hear that. ”Thatʼs quite a rare item from the Blazing Sands. Xantanla probably has some as she needs them for her own cultivation. Usually, she buys all of them when they appear in the market. Then again, itʼs quite rare to see anyone selling it. Try the Glingau Treasure Store close to Xantanlaʼs residence. Maybe they have one. A piece of advice, though. I wouldnʼt get too close to Xantanla if I were you,” the guy told them. However, he didnʼt explain why.

The twins nodded in response and thanked the guy before looking at the highest building. The settlement wasnʼt that big, so they could see it from afar. Of course, since they easily found Xantanlaʼs residence, it was also easy to find the treasure store. They were very close to each other.

Unfortunately for them... ”Sorry, friends. We had two Molten Divine Rock Flowers for sale a few days ago, but supervisor Xantanla bought them already. You will have to ask if she wishes to sell them, but I find that highly unlikely,” said one of the attendants there. ”Also... you better be careful. She isnʼt the type of demon beast that cultivators would get close to so easily. Almost everyone here dreads her, even those at her level.”

The twins could only nod and leave the treasure store. Well, even if the woman didnʼt sell it, they would simply enter the Blazing Sands to look for it. In fact, they would most likely need to enter anyway since they still need another fifteen flowers.. Xantanla would hardly have that many since she used them for her cultivation.
