Chapter 2106: Yellow Spring Cave
Lord Ying Zhu did not continue to inquire about Jing Yan’s origins.
As long as there is no malice towards his territory, he doesn’t need to worry about Jing Yan’s origins. Instead, he needs to find a way to establish a good relationship with Jing Yan, ideally keeping him within the Ying Family Territory.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, I heard earlier that you put up a Nether Sky Realm Magic Treasure for sale in the Mystic Moon Trading House. You seem to be lacking Black Crystal Stones?" Lord Ying Zhu shifted the topic and asked.
If he weren’t short on Black Crystal Stones, who would want to sell their Nether Sky Realm Magic Treasure? For an average cultivator, this would certainly be the case. But Jing Yan didn’t care much about a mere Nether Sky Realm Magic Treasure; he brought several Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Magic Treasures from the Chaos World.
Upon hearing Lord Ying Zhu’s question, Jing Yan nodded.
Indeed, he was lacking resources like Black Crystal Stones. Cultivating the Seven Luminaries Technique also requires a large number of Black Crystal Stones to purchase the necessary materials. Restoring his realm requires countless Black Crystal Stones. The further his realm is restored, the more resources are needed. When recovering from the All Things Realm to the Nether Sky Realm, who knows how many Black Crystal Stones will be needed? Perhaps even Lord Ying Zhu would have a hard time producing so many Black Crystal Stones.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, the fact that you hold my son Ying Zuo in high regard is his good fortune. This is our first meeting, and as the host here, I should present you with a meeting gift. But truthfully, my reserves of Black Crystal Stones aren’t very high, so please don’t find it lacking," Lord Ying Zhu said, bringing out a Storage Magical Treasure, which looked like a bracelet.
Jing Yan did not stand on ceremony and accepted it directly. He was a guest of Ying Zuo, and Ying Zuo was the son of Lord Ying Zhu. If the Ying Family Territory faced difficulties in the future, he would certainly help. Taking some of the Ying Family’s resources now was appropriate; the important thing was that he urgently needed a large number of Black Crystal Stones to restore his strength.
Probing the Storage Treasure with his divine thought, Jing Yan discovered that it contained a total of five million Black Crystal Stones, much more than he had expected. Jing Yan initially thought receiving a million Black Crystal Stones from Lord Ying Zhu would be good enough. Clearly, this lord was more generous than Jing Yan had imagined, which explained why there were several Nether Sky Realm Cultivator guests under his command.
"My lord, then I won’t stand on ceremony," Jing Yan said as he put away the Storage Magical Treasure.
