Capítulo 865: Chapter 404: Transaction_2

“It’s hard to say, we have no way of knowing the intelligence from the sea. And we don’t know the exact location of the Calamity’s strike. It can’t be launching an all-out attack on all coastlines, right?” said an Ark Chosen One.

“If it has such power… even the Forbidden Zone would have to ally with the Giant City,” muttered a Forbidden Zone creature.

“Hmph… hard to say.” A human elector sneered: “Killing them all together matches our goal.”

“If humans had such power, why build high walls? Because they like them?” A Forbidden Zone creature mocked.

“Alright, let’s wait for the Book Holder for specific intelligence,” an Ark Chosen One spoke.

At this moment, someone noticed Li Yelai and couldn’t help but laugh: “Hey, Copper Face, you’re actually still alive, huh? That’s really not easy.”

“Black Umbrella, Wolf Map, Ming Xing, Phantom, along with your former leader Golden Armor. The electors who cooperated with Jin Shan in City No.3 are all dead now. Yet, you managed to survive to this day. You truly have a tough life being one on the Book Holder’s list.”

An elector joked: “Last time you didn’t attend the gathering, we all thought you’d been killed too.”

Black Umbrella lost contact for a long time and was confirmed dead by the captain.

At the previous gathering, Ming Xing and Phantom were torn apart in front of everyone. It was suspected to be the work of the Wilderness Ranger.

After Wolf Map fled in panic, he also lost contact and was confirmed dead.

These were the people causing trouble with Jin Shan in No.3 Border City.

Later, intelligence after the fact indicated that they had cooperated with the Chaos Faction and were killed by the authorities.

However, electors believed it was revenge from No.3 Border City.

Everyone thought Copper Face, who didn’t come last time, had also met a tragic end. Such a pity, given such talent.

“The Giant City targeted Golden Armor, what’s it got to do with Copper Face?” Li Yelai replied with a smile.

“Heh, I remember you and Shan Cha were both active near Border City. This time, you must have mingled into the Divine Treasure Immortal Palace too, haven’t you?”

Many Ark Chosen Ones turned their eyes towards Li Yelai and Jing Lin.

In the past month, they’ve already learned about the Immortal Palace War through various channels.

The Human Giant City fought within the Immortal Palace against two future civilizations, paying a great price, but ultimately achieving victory.

At the same time, they also gathered a large amount of intelligence and resources, even the legendary inheritance of the Heavenly Court.

Information and technology from the future, ancient yet powerful inheritance, higher technology secret treasures, and some powerful blessings…

This made the Ark Chosen Ones extremely envious.

Indeed, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Many Ark Chosen Ones regretted not going to the Immortal Palace then.

Of course, had they known in advance there was a Calamity in the Immortal Palace, they probably wouldn’t have gone either.

Some Ark Chosen Ones secretly laughed, knowing they did enter the Immortal Palace and indeed obtained some resources and intelligence.

For most electors, Copper Face and Shan Cha, suspected to have entered the Immortal Palace, became their prime inquiry targets.

“Heh heh…” Li Yelai laughed lowly: “It was worth the risk to enter the Immortal Palace. I did get some good stuff; once everyone is here, I’ll introduce them.”

“Seems like you did indeed get quite a few good things, huh.” Many Ark Chosen Ones’ eyes flickered, and some Forbidden Zone creatures were also quite interested.

Soon, as beams of light illuminated, Ark Chosen Ones from around the world arrived in the Ark Hall.

And the Book Holder appeared last, as the climax.

This time, many electors looked at this most mysterious Book Holder, their gazes full of teasing.

After all, at the last gathering, the Book Holder lost composure in front of everyone.

When the image of the Snake Bone Long Stairs broke and the Heavenly Palace fell, the Book Holder was uncharacteristically astonished.

And instantly detached from the ark, a first-time occurrence.

This broke the mysterious filter people had of the Book Holder.

It turns out that even such an existence can panic.

Of course, Li Yelai knew that such panics would become more frequent.

The Book Holder naturally realized these gazes but showed no anger, instead calmly saying: “As usual, after all statements and transactions, I will explain the murals.”

‘Then, electors, this gathering begins.’ The Ark Captain’s voice fell.

Li Yelai spoke loudly: “Everyone, you might have guessed it, and I won’t hide it anymore, I… did enter the Immortal Palace and acquired some good stuff inside.”

“You’re straightforward. Let’s see what good stuff you have,” said a female elector from the Third Ring: “If it’s Divine Calamity, I’d be willing to pay a high price.”

Blessings cannot be traded, so that leaves inheritances, secret treasures, and the like.

The most precious among those would be the Divine Calamity.

“You dare to imagine?” Jin Shan from the Second Ring Seat spoke calmly: “A divine calamity is worth more than your life!”

The difficulty of nurturing a divine calamity oneself is too great. Even within the forbidden zone, there are very few divine calamities.

“I don’t even look at divine calamities. With you all here, I couldn’t snatch it anyway.” One elector laughed: “I’m more looking forward to what mysterious treasure there will be.”

Mysterious treasures from the ancient heavenly court, that technology far surpasses any forbidden zone civilization!

Li Yelai nodded slightly upon seeing this.

Then, he reached into the pocket of his suit and pulled out his clenched left hand.

As his fist slowly opened, golden peas fell to the ground.

In the next second, golden light flickered, and twenty-two golden-armored divine generals appeared.

Almost all the ark electors were stunned, then exclaimed in surprise.

“Planting beans into soldiers? Damn, you’ve truly inherited it!”

“It even has the strength of the five senses?”

“Imitative heavenly soldiers? You can actually bring out this kind of thing?”

What surprised everyone even more was.

Each golden-armored divine general was filled with spiritual energy, not artificially charged, but having an active internal structure similar to a soul well.

What incredible technology!

It is not inferior to the ash summon of the Black Umbrella.

No, it is even stronger than the ash summoning.

The spiritual energy of the ash summon has only thirty percent of its power in life. It’s hard to use as combat methods, but these heavenly soldiers have strength of the four and five awakenings! And they can autonomously restore spiritual energy… Truly ancient heavenly court technology!

Many electors’ eyes brightened, they instantly understood the advantages of this imitative heavenly soldier.

Jing Lin and Yun Yue also showed surprised expressions, their acting was quite good.

Of course, Yun Yue might be truly surprised, as she did not know Li Yelai would take out this thing for trade.

And some forbidden zone creatures frowned.

Because these golden-armored divine generals, while waiting, locked their soulless eyes onto them, seemingly ready to act at any moment.

This is another advantage of imitative heavenly soldiers, they can only be activated by humans.

This point prevents them from flowing into the forbidden zone.

“Imitative heavenly soldiers… I’ve seen them on the battlefield….” A Fourth Ring elector spoke softly, clearly, he had entered the Immortal Palace at that time: “How many do you have?”

“Depends on the reward.” Li Yelai responded, the implication was clear.

“I see…. The large heavenly soldier furnace was acquired by the officials and placed in Molten Furnace Mine City. And it’s said, some small and abandoned heavenly soldier furnaces have been discovered and taken away by some families… Are you one of them?”

Li Yelai smiled without speaking.

And after others inquired about the effects of the heavenly soldier furnace, they all looked at Li Yelai with burning eyes.

Placing materials inside allows for the refining of heavenly soldiers, for any organization or family, it’s a treasure!

As long as materials are sufficient, imitative heavenly soldiers can be continuously refined. They are combat power!

Whether used to form armies, serve as guards, or as trump cards for younger family members, all are excellent choices!

But it was clear, Li Yelai would not sell the heavenly soldier furnace, only trade the imitative heavenly soldiers.

He provided a guideline price.

A normally-sized B-level armament can be traded for two five-sense imitative heavenly soldiers. A C-level spiritual ability equipment can trade for two four-sense soldiers.

If other items or mysterious materials, they could be traded at discretion.

This price is very high yet controlled within the limits most electors can bear.

This made electors very conflicted, but Li Yelai thoughtfully provided a plan.

Similar to the previous Black Umbrella’s trading model.

The trader provides materials, and he will refine. After collecting part of the furnace burning cost, he can still trade at least four heavenly soldiers.

As for the quality,… it depends a lot on luck.

‘That is nice, with the ark here, this guy can’t cheat us, but it’s a bit of a gamble,’ the electors thought, eager to try.

And Jing Lin gasped inwardly, feeling Li Yelai was too insidious!
