Chapter 886: Chapter 886: I Am More Important Than One Corner of the Qianyuan Map

Sikong Jing chuckled and shook the inner core in front of Yao Yuzhi.

"If the Emperor Martial Stage’s demon beast core can save Lord Yao money, can I choose a few more?"

Yao Yuzhi was dumbfounded, staring intently at the pitch-black thing in Sikong Jing’s hand.

"Are you joking? Is this little thing really an Emperor Martial Stage demon beast core?"

Then she couldn’t help but sneer, "Hmph, are you questioning the appraisal skills of Overlord Commerce?"

"Overlord Commerce is one of the top three major commerce guilds in the Central Plains. We nurture Martial Arts geniuses purely for business, and in every other aspect, we are professionals."

The implication being that everyone here is a professional, and the inner cores have been carefully appraised.

If it were truly an Emperor Martial Stage demon beast core, it wouldn’t be here.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing did not immediately refute but gently tossed the inner core to Yao Yuzhi. She understood that Sikong Jing meant for her to look closely.

This attitude still carried doubt about herself.

Yao Yuzhi let out a cold snort, carefully inspecting the core again, then tossed it back to Sikong Jing, saying, "Martial Battle Stage Reverse Soul Realm, the inner core of an Iron Bone Flying Vulture, no mistake."

In just an instant, Yao Yuzhi accurately identified the type of demon beast the inner core belonged to.

However, Sikong Jing laughed and said, "I have an Iron Bone Flying Vulture myself. I’m wondering if Lord Yao can let it in?"

He thought to himself, Yao Yuzhi didn’t notice; the inner core was well concealed indeed.

Stunned, Yao Yuzhi unhesitatingly replied, "Even if it’s a fierce beast Iron Winged Divine Vulture coming in, it’s still an Iron Bone Flying Vulture’s inner core."

Saying that, she allowed Sikong Jing to summon the Iron Bone Flying Vulture...

It appeared now in the form of a Little Flying Vulture, and upon seeing the inner core in Sikong Jing’s hand, its eyes widened.

Then it began to tremble violently and exclaimed, "Emperor Martial Stage, Iron Winged Divine Vulture’s inner core!"

As soon as it finished speaking, Yao Yuzhi’s face turned dark. Were this person and vulture both blind?

But then, the Iron Bone Flying Vulture pecked at the core and placed a drop of its blood on it.

Buzz...

A moment later, with a loud buzz, the previously pitch-black inner core brightly illuminated, emanating an Emperor Martial Stage aura.

In that instant, Yao Yuzhi was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the inner core in Sikong Jing’s hand.

In just two breaths, Sikong Jing immediately retrieved the inner core, placing it directly into the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl. Smirking, he said to Yao Yuzhi, "Lord Yao, did you see clearly just now? You can’t go back on your word now..."

Yao Yuzhi watched as Sikong Jing hid the inner core away, forlornly averting her gaze, then dumbfoundedly stared at Sikong Jing, seeing his expression as if she might snatch it away, her face turned an ashen grey.

That momentary Emperor Martial Stage aura was unmistakable...

Yet she and the East Plain Overlord Commerce had overlooked an Emperor Martial Stage fierce beast Iron Winged Divine Vulture’s inner core.

Inner cores come in varying qualities, and fierce beast inner cores offer many benefits, such as refining and cultivation observation. Moreover, the price difference between fierce beasts and ordinary demon beasts is substantial.

And so Sikong Jing took it away, after she had personally inspected it and tossed it back to him.

She had just made a wrong judgment and got ridiculed by him, damn it!

Yao Yuzhi’s lips twitched furiously, gritting her teeth as she said, "Of course, I won’t go back on my word. When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Speaking of which, her heart was still bleeding.

But she soon asked again, "This inner core has clearly been disguised by a master. How did you see through it?"

Even she couldn’t see through it, so how could Sikong Jing?

Sikong Jing blinked, casually pointing to the Iron Bone Flying Vulture. "My Iron Bone Flying Vulture has a trace of Iron Winged Divine Vulture’s bloodline."

Of course, he didn’t mention, "I am the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, capable of sensing it at a glance."

A regular Iron Bone Flying Vulture couldn’t see past the disguise, but Sikong Jing’s Iron Bone Flying Vulture had once revived by absorbing the blood of an Iron Winged Divine Vulture in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, allowing it to sense the inner core’s authenticity at a glance.

"Lord Yao, the rewards have been selected. When are we setting off for the Central Plains?"

Not dwelling further on the previous topic, Sikong Jing gently asked.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yuzhi replied with a somewhat foul mood, "In ten days. A Divine Shuttle Ship will be here to pick you up."

"In the meantime, you can return to your respective courtyards to rest or explore Minglong Village, but remember... the village is intricate, so avoid unnecessary trouble."

With that, she waved Sikong Jing off, still lamenting over the inner core.

Sikong Jing cupped his fists, preparing to leave the treasure vault.

Just then, Yao Yuzhi thought of something and called out, "Compared to one corner of Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, your Blood Refining Soldier Killing Map seems inadequate. Aren’t you worried?"

She was quite curious about Sikong Jing, for even under the substantial threat posed by Ju Dan, he remained unorthodox and showed no concern about being penalized again. Where did his confidence stem from?

It’s far from certain that the East Dominator Branch would endure the pressure from Ba Lie Venerable for his sake.

Sikong Jing halted, telling Yao Yuzhi, "Worrying won’t help; I simply do what I should... I’ll certainly strive for the East Dominator Branch to support me."

He left unsaid, if they don’t help, then we’ll part ways; I have no emotional ties to Overlord Commerce.

"And how do you plan on achieving that?" Yao Yuzhi pressed further.

Her intuition was that Sikong Jing’s actions lacked rationale and he seemed overly confident.

Sikong Jing tilted his head and slowly replied, "By making Overlord Commerce see that I am more important than one corner of Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map."

As he finished speaking, though his aura seemed unchanged, it inexplicably carried a sense of dominance.

Who would dare claim they are more important than one corner of Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map?

Yet Sikong Jing dared, sure of his ability to prove himself stronger than one corner of Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map.

Just like that, Yao Yuzhi had no more questions, and Sikong Jing bade farewell and left the treasure vault, joining Gongyang Ying and Chou Zhan waiting outside, heading towards their North Courtyard accommodation.

Shortly after, Yao Yuzhi stood at the vault entrance, deeply watching Sikong Jing’s receding figure.

Just then, Hua Meixi approached and inquired, "Aunt Yao, what did Sikong Jing choose, was there a Soldier Killing Map?"

Hua Meixi bore a constant grievance towards Sikong Jing regarding the Soldier Killing Map.

Hearing this question, Yao Yuzhi’s lips convulsed painfully, her expression miserable as she said, "That brat found a treasure, and he did so in our Overlord Commerce. I just lost face to him big time."

Subsequently, she recounted the discovery of the Emperor Martial Stage Iron Winged Divine Vulture’s inner core.

Hua Meixi’s mouth gaped open; for Overlord Commerce to be dug out of its treasures was an enormous humiliation. As one of the top three guilds in the Central Plains, they weren’t a street stall; it was rare to overlook treasures.

But Sikong Jing managed to find one.
