Chapter 1031: The First Customer.
Sword Maestro shook his head as he said, "The best I can do for you is to lend you some divine crystals in 24 hours. In the meantime, I have nothing to help you with."But, then he changed his tune, saying, "You know what, you should be the one lending me divine crystals. It seems you’re out of the running and won’t be able to compete with the others for this item. So you should give me your divine crystals to increase my chances. At least, that way, one of us will succeed in getting what they want."
Heavenly Eye’s reply was to say, "Fuck you."
She didn’t even say no. Clearly, she didn’t appreciate the way he had turned thing around on her. This made Sword Maestro chuckle in amusement.
This thing happening between Heavenly Eye and Sword Maestro wasn’t a rare event. Heavenly Eye was also soliciting support in the form of divine crystals from Immobile Mountain and Green Fire. But just like Carefree Immortal, they both refused to help her.
Tepid Scholar was also secretly asking for help. His first target was Martial Will.
He said, "If you really want to spite Black Chain, you should lend me your divine crystals. With your help, I’ll definitely be able to get the Death Supreme Metac."
In response, Martial Will said, "First of all, I don’t want anyone to get the Death Supreme Metac, not just Black Chain. If I can’t get it and use it, then I will make sure that none of you have an easy time getting it."
"Secondly, I will need the divine crystals soon. So you can forget about getting my divine crystals."
As for Black Chain, he didn’t send messages asking anyone to help him with divine crystals. Knowing his reputation, he knew that it was easier for everyone to gang up on him than to help him.
Martial Will’s behavior is an example of what someone is willing to do to spite him. The fact that the rest of the Dao Lords haven’t followed suit is something he has to be thankful for. So he can’t be ungrateful and ask them to help him.
As it turned out, he didn’t need people to gang up on him. But this was not for a good thing. In fact, he wasn’t happy about it at all.
After some back and forth in the bidding war, he managed to hold on longer than Martial Will. The Dao Lord of the Martial Body Sect couldn’t compete with him in terms of divine crystals and had to give up. But the other two were not so easy to defeat.
Despite being supposedly weaker than Black Chain and Tepid Scholar, it didn’t surprise anyone that Heavenly Eye was able to compete with them in terms of divine crystals.
It didn’t surprise them because she was good at finding things, so it was normal that she had found and hoarded a lot of divine crystals compared to her competitors. In fact, no one was sure she was really weaker than Tepid Scholar now that she had exposed two more pathways.
