Chapter 659: Chapter 45 Wind Forest Fire Mountain_3

Now, his strength is undeniably powerful, but to take on Master Hongchen, Xiao Jie frankly admitted he was not entirely confident.

If they could assemble the entire might of the Dragon Soaring Knights, there should be no problem, but the guild was currently at a critical juncture of development. Would the guild leader be willing to mobilize the main force to help with his mission?

Even if there was a huge incentive, it would still be tough.

The temptation of a Heavenly Cave can hardly compare to the development of an entire nation.

Luckily, he had now become the vice president and the Second Group Leader, and thus could form his own team.

First, do the national quest, and once the team is well-coordinated and strong enough, he would lead them to fight Master Hongchen.

However, to forge iron one must be strong oneself; he hoped not to encounter such a fierce battle as with the Azure Dragon Association when facing Master Hongchen.

Jiao Long is not enough, if he could transform into a True Dragon, that would be sufficient.

Xiao Jie opened his inventory and gazed contemplatively at the Dragon Ball inside.

Considering the essence value from the Jiao Long Core, it seemed that three Dragon Balls were needed to unlock the True Dragon Transformation. He only had one; acquiring the remaining two would not be easy.

Suddenly, a message appeared in Xiao Jie’s chat window.

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: Friend, you there?

Xiao Jie was taken aback, wondering where this person came from.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Who might you be?

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: Don’t mind who I am. I’m looking to make a trade with you. Was Strong Dragon Flipping the work of your hand?

Strong Dragon Flipping is Liu Qiang’s character name.

Xiao Jie thought, who is this guy asking about that?

Hidden Moon Following Wind: What if it is? You planning on avenging him?

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: Haha, what a joke you make. I have a bone to pick with that guy. If you really took him out, I couldn’t thank you enough. Seems like you did indeed do it, haha, well done, brother.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Haha, no need for all this flattery, just speak your mind.

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: Brother is indeed straightforward. Alright, I’ll be direct too. A question for you: Strong Dragon Flipping had a Five-colored Stone on him, did it end up with you? How about selling it to me?

Xiao Jie thought it looks like someone’s interested in buying some equipment...

He surmised the other was likely a Five Elements Mage, as this thing would be most effective in the hands of Five Elements Mages or Five Elements Escape Masters.

Strictly speaking, this item did not perfectly suit Xiao Jie’s profession, it was just okay, even if it was orange quality equipment. But of course, if he could exchange it for something more suitable, that would be better.

However, Xiao Jie naturally would not show his hand, and he wasn’t in need of equipment at the moment, either.

After some thought, an idea struck him.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Not for sale, only for trade.

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: Trade for what?

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Dragon Balls—two of them.

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: ...Brother, you must be joking. Not to say how difficult it is to obtain Dragon Balls, but even if I had them, the Dragon Balls themselves are legendary equipment, aren’t they? A fair trade would be one for one.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Haha, one for one is fine too. Do you have any? Show me.

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: Brother, don’t provoke me. How about this: don’t sell the Five-colored Stone to anyone else. Give me one week, at most half a month. If I get a Dragon Ball by then, I’ll contact you.

Xiao Jie thought to himself whether this was for real, but since he had no immediate plans to sell the equipment anyway, he might as well hold on to it.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Sure, if you can really get a Dragon Ball within a week, I’m open to trading, but let’s be clear: it must be an orange quality Dragon Ball, otherwise, it’ll have to be two.

Wind Forest Fire Mountain: Alright, it’s a deal then.

Seeing the other party’s sincere tone, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but wonder: This person really intends to trade a Dragon Ball for a Five-colored Stone?

How can he be so confident?

Then it struck him that the other party must have a major guild backing him up, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to make such a boast.

Major guild—Dragon Slayer—so that’s it!

Xiao Jie suddenly understood, the other party’s guild must also be aiming to slay dragons and establish a nation.

Only those guilds dedicated to slaying dragons to found a nation could possibly produce Dragon Balls. After all, what they need for nation-building is the Dragon Head; Dragon Balls are a byproduct. It would be normal to trade them away.

With this in mind, it’s likely that he might indeed obtain a Dragon Ball after some time.

But even if he did manage to acquire them, he would still be one short.

If there were only two Dragon Balls, he wouldn’t dare to refine them – if they weren’t enough to form a complete essence, that would leave him in a bind.

Xiao Jie knew very well that once he refined the Dragon Balls, he would surely reach the Golden Core culmination. He had once made a Heavenly Punishment Oath, ’On the day my Golden Core reaches culmination, before Ascension to Immortality, I must confront Master Hongchen,’ which means that upon reaching that stage, he must seek out Master Hongchen that very day and could not continue refining to achieve Ascension, or else it would trigger the Oath of Divine Punishment.

Whether an Immortal could withstand Heavenly punishment, Xiao Jie had no certainty.

If he could refine three Dragon Balls, reaching the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Skill and the realm of Transcendence into Sainthood, and then unlock a True Dragon Essence, he would be set.

So, apart from leading the team to grind monster instances, gathering Monster Inner Cores, reclaiming villages and towns, and expanding the nation’s territory, he also must find a way to acquire another Dragon Ball.
