I Am Really Not The Son of Providence - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: The Primordial Battlefield’s Ore
“Master Celestial, we missed you so much!”
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming beforehand?”
Upon seeing Shen Tian, the four of them hurriedly walked up to him.
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched, and he said hurriedly, “You’re not allowed to hug my legs anymore!”
The four of them exchanged gazes and silently nodded.
Indeed, everyone’s analysis results were correct—the same method to curry favor could not be used a second time.
Xiong Meng had a straightforward personality, so he immediately asked, “Master Celestial, can you really predict the future? Did you come to help solve our problem?”
Shen Tian was slightly stunned. “Problem? What problem?”
Liu Taiyi replied, “Dear Master Celestial, we hope for Shopkeeper Song to take the position of our sect’s Grand Elder.”
Shopkeeper Song shook his head. “How do I dare, it-it’s not appropriate!”
After hearing their arguments, Shen Tian felt that they were idiots!
What Celievers? Isn’t it just my unofficial fan club!?
Just the leader of this fan club is worth fighting for?
Shen Tian said, “Who is the Grand Elder now?”
Liu Taiyi raised his hand gradually. “It’s me.”
Shen Tian asked again, “Then why give it to Shopkeeper Song?”
Liu Taiyi replied seriously, “I am incompetent. I have no face to hold the position and do no useful work.
“Shopkeeper Song is famous for being a good, honest shopkeeper of Myriad Spirit Garden.
“If he becomes the Grand Elder, then our Celievers will have fundings in the future.
“Also, our comrades in the sect could have a discount when buying Spirit Ores.
“It’ll be more convenient to attract more members to join our sect.”
After Liu Taiyi finished, Shopkeeper Song’s face darkened by quite a few shades.
I knew that you were up to no good.
You just want to take advantage of me by telling me to become the Celiever’s Grand Elder.
Provide fundings for the Celievers?
If that was what Shen Tian needed, Shopkeeper Song would be willing to please him, no matter the number of Spirit Stones as that was all to become fated with him.
The problem was that Celievers’ members were only the fated people with Master Celestial.
They were not related to Shopkeeper Song, so why should he give them discounts?
It was obvious that those three wanted to take advantage of Shopkeeper Song!
…
Shen Tian nodded slightly. “What you said sounds quite reasonable. Shopkeeper Song, what do you think?”
If Shen Tian were not present, Shopkeeper Song would definitely reject that suggestion without hesitation.
The problem was that Master Celestial seemed to be able to predict the future and actually came to ask him personally.
That made Shopkeeper Song overthink.
Is it possible that Master Celestial is testing if I am loyal?
If I am willing to devote myself to Celievers?
When thinking of that, Shopkeeper Song gritted his teeth.
If I can maintain my fate with Master Celestial, then I’ll do it!
He nodded and said, “I am willing to contribute to our sect.
“If I am the sect’s Grand Elder, I am willing to provide for all the fundings.
“As long as our sect members buy ores in my shop, there would be a 12% discount for them!
“As long as sect members make a huge profit, the ore-cutting fee will be reduced by half.”
…
Shopkeeper Song’s great promise stunned Shen Tian.
OMG! He’s really willing to sacrifice his profits!
Although a Spirit Ore shop’s profits were impressive, the short-term income would decrease greatly after Shopkeeper Song’s discount.
Of course, if Celievers increased in size, it would provide many customers for Sky Spirit Pavilion.
Whether the shop would gain benefits or suffer losses would depend on the Celievers’ development in the future.
No matter what, it could be said to be a risky gamble for Shopkeeper Song.
Shopkeeper Song’s not simple to be able to have such courage!
“If that’s the case, then Shopkeeper Song will take up the position of Grand Elder!”
Shen Tian was extremely moved, so he accepted Shopkeeper Song’s plea.
Meanwhile, though Shopkeeper Song was in tears, he felt the pain from his loss.
However, as long as Master Celestial was happy, everything was worth it!
…
Zhang Yunxi frowned as she looked at Shopkeeper Song’s and the others’ performances.
According to her experience of destroying various evil cults in Eastern Wilderness these years, she felt that the four of them were definitely members of an evil sect.
They were fanatic, irrational, and worshiped a certain person.
Emphasis was placed on sacrificing one’s benefits for the organization. These were definitely Evil Spirit’s rules and guidelines!
However, Zhang Yunxi had carefully observed Shen Tian, deeming him as someone unaffiliated with evil sects.
That’s weird. Did Shen Tian collude with Evil Spirit or not?
Let’s observe for a while more to see if he really knows how to seek and assess ores!
Zhang Yunxi secretly decided in her heart.
“Shen Tian, Can we start to seek and assess ores?”
“Yes. Fairy Zhang, please wait for a moment,” Shen Tian replied and nodded slightly.
On the way here, Shen Tian had been gritting his teeth and persevering.
In the end, he clearly saw the lucky opportunity on top of Zhang Yunxi’s head.
He slowly walked toward the shelf of Spirit Ores at the side and started searching.
Shortly after, he stopped in front of a large Spirit Ore that was around one meter tall.
The ore was purple, and a light pattern could be seen on it.
What attracted one’s attention the most were the cracks that filled its surface. The cracks looked just like a spiderweb, and it seemed like the ore would crumble anytime.
Upon seeing that Shen Tian had taken a liking to that Spirit Ore, Shopkeeper Song approached him and explained, “Master Celestial, you have good eyes. This Spirit Ore… has been dug out of the Primordial Battlefield! It’s also the most treasured ore in this shop!”
…
This ore is from the Primordial Battlefield!?
Shopkeeper Song’s explanation shocked everyone.
The Primordial Battlefield referred to an ancient battlefield to the east of Country of Fire.
It was said that 10,000 years ago, it had once been the battlefield of Eastern Wilderness’ Sacred Grounds and evil fiends from the outside.
Countless strong cultivators had died there before, leaving behind many precious treasures and inheritance.
Of course, the formidable cultivators that had died 10,000 years ago were too many, so the murderous aura there was astonishing.
Therefore, countless fearsome evil creatures were born there, and the battlefield was full of danger.
Each year, many cultivators from major sects would enter the battlefield to train. The lucky ones might benefit greatly from fortuitous encounters, while the unlucky ones might directly die there.
Meanwhile, many ores from the Primordial Battlefield had been brought out.
No one knew what could be obtained from the 10,000-year-old ores, but that did not hinder rich cultivators from going after the ores like a flock of ducks.
Although it was difficult to preserve many things, such as Spirit pills and artifacts, in the passage of 10,000 years, there were plenty of treasures that could easily last through the long years.
For example, Divine pills and artifacts that were above Spirit pills and artifacts in terms of grade, which would be in the Precious Treasures List. Or, some lost supreme ancient Imperial Sutra recorded in Skill Jades.
According to the rumors, the ore, from which the legendary Saint from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had obtained the Nirvana Immortal Imperial Sutra, had been dug out from another Primordial Battlefield near the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground!
The whole Eastern Wilderness had been shocked by that discovery.
The saint from Purple Mansion Sacred Ground was even highly regarded by everyone.
In everyone’s minds, he was definitely the only providence-blessed being in the Eastern Wilderness.
A complete Imperial Sutra could even allow a Sacred Ground to prosper.
Even if the Saint from Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had only obtained the top half of the Nirvana Sutra, it had been enough to build a strong foundation for the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground.
Such a fortuitous opportunity was something that could not even be compared to any amount of Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals.
…
Meanwhile, this purple ore that had spiderweb marks was from the Primordial Battlefield near the Country of Fire!
Its selling price was—100,000 Spirit Stones!
