Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270: Seeking Rare Treasures

Yusuf Zuck, Alden Baxter, and Leonidas King each went their separate ways, with Leonidas King entering Guard City in the northwest to seek those skilled in Formation, as he was only familiar with laying celestial formations before. To ensure the perfection of God Array, he also needed to enhance his learning.

Yusuf Zuck also returned to Guard City in the northwest, weaving through the various streets and alleys, occasionally buying some books, and sometimes some rare treasures.

Alden Baxter, on the other hand, went to a farther city, progressing towards the central region, and he too went to purchase rare treasures.

The three individuals parted ways, marking the start of their endeavors.

Half a month later, in Guard City in the northwest, Yusuf Zuck heard some news about the Gluttonous Beast of Thousand Bone Mountain; the beast had vanished, the altar collapsed, it was said that the extraordinary woman obtained the Dao Instrument from the altar. When she was fiercely contested by the righteous grandsons of The Eight Great Families, she wounded them and then tore through the sky and left.

Yes, she tore through space when she left.

As one might know, those who could tear through space are mostly at the God King realm, which implied that the beautiful long-haired, long-legged woman was at least at the level of a God King.

Yusuf Zuck had just heard this incidentally and did not pay much attention to it, as at this moment, he was outside the residence of a prominent family in Guard City with the surname Gould.

The Gould Family was essentially a powerful household in Guard City and even considered a third-rate clan in the Heavenly Realm. The Gould Family was related to the Arellano Family of The Eight Great Families. It was said that the sister of Gould Family’s old master married into the Arellano Family, and thereafter, the Gould Family’s fortunes rose.

The old master of the Gould Family lived in Guard City quite modestly, though no one dared to provoke them. After all, the Gould Family was in-laws with the Arellano Family of The Eight Great Families, so who would dare to find trouble with the Gould Family?

The reason Yusuf Zuck was at the front gate of the Gould Family was that these days he had befriended a young master of the Gould Family, called Gould Third Young Master, the third and youngest son of the old master who had three sons and sixteen daughters. Gould Third Young Master was the most pampered.

Gould Third Young Master was quite the playboy in Guard City, skillful in all manners of indulgence whether it be drinking, gambling, or others.

Today, he had been brought here by Gould Third Young Master.

After waiting for about half an hour, Gould Third Young Master quickly ran out from the main gate, waved at Yusuf Zuck, and the two continued to run together.

Gould Third Young Master was home to steal something, and the item stolen was a Taishi Chair, the most valuable possession of the Gould Family.

The two ran across six streets in one breath and finally stopped in a teahouse, where after each drinking a pot of tea, Gould Third Young Master flipped his hand and took out a wooden block the size of an egg.

That’s right, just a wooden block, made of rosewood, exuding the scent of sandalwood, with an especially beautiful grain, clearly high-quality timber.

"I really didn’t dare to steal the whole chair, after all, it was the engagement gift from the Arellano Family to my father, he treasures it like a gem, so if it went missing, he’d skin me alive. Only got this piece of wood, I had someone use other wood to fit the piece sawed off back in!"

"So this is the legendary Divine Dragon Wood?" Yusuf Zuck took the not-so-big wooden block and started fiddling with it in his hands. The reason he approached Gould Third Young Master was precisely because he had heard that the Gould Family had a Taishi Chair made of Divine Dragon Wood.

And what is Divine Dragon Wood? It’s said to come from nine colossal trees of the Ancient Era, these trees reached the skies, lush and fragrant to the extent that many dragons of the Ancient Era would settle and cultivate in these Sacred Dragon Trees, even establish nests, fall in love, and so on.

It can be said, Divine Dragon Wood can attract dragons.

Of course, the Divine Dragon Wood also has another effect, which is to prolong life and help one to calm the mind, providing immense assistance in cultivation.

In the Heavenly Realm, there is also a legend that in the Ancient Era, the Heavenly Dao was in chaos, leading to the emergence of multiple ’Yang Chens’, and during that time, the many heavens were not yet divided, thus there was only one world. Suddenly, ten Yang Chens appeared, causing the earth to burn, countless humans were roasted alive, and all beings faced a disaster of death.

During the burning of the earth, although the nine Divine Dragon Trees were also burnt, the core of the tree trunks, the Dragon’s Tree Core, remained icy cold to the bone. No matter how the Yang Chen scorched, it couldn’t spoil the Divine Dragon Wood.

Later, an Ancient Great God appeared wielding a Divine Bow, and made nine arrows from the nine Dragon’s Tree Cores, shattering nine of the Yang Chens, leaving only one!

This is a myth from the Heavenly Realm; when Yusuf Zuck first heard it, it felt similar to the later legend of shooting the suns, with essentially the same premise.

So, he became interested in a chair made from the Divine Dragon Wood owned by the elder of the Gould Family and then got close to the third young master of the Goulds, accompanying him in madness, until he was familiar with him. After that, with a high offer, he had already informed the third young master that even if it’s not the whole chair, a small piece of wood would also suffice, and indeed, the third young master brought him a small wood block.

"I’m telling you, this kind of Divine Dragon Wood, only the Arellano Family of The Eight Great Families has it. When my aunt married into the Arellano family, their dowry specifically included a Divine Dragon Wood chair."

"Thank you, here are five million Spirit Stones!" Yusuf Zuck gave the previously agreed price to the third young master of the Goulds!

The third young master originally didn’t lack money, but he was too good at causing trouble, so the allowance from his family was never enough.

"Hehe, the tea money is on me!" The third young master chuckled, "Brother Nash, you’re so generous, are you really from the Nash family?"

"What do you think?" Yusuf Zuck blinked.

"Forget it, I won’t guess, but what junk have you been buying lately, what do you need these things for?"

"For cultivation, haha, alright, I’m going to look for Eden King, do you want to come?" Yusuf Zuck laughed. He called himself Abraham Nash, and in the Heavenly Realm, the surname Nash was not common. Mentioning the Nash surname, anyone would think of the Nash family from The Eight Great Families, so with Yusuf Zuck being so generous and his cultivation level mysteriously unclear, even though people were wary of him when he got close, they also dared not to deeply offend him!

He was doing quite well in Guard City, even befriending the son of the City Lord.

"Forget about the Yangyang fruit in the backyard of Eden King’s house, it’s not possible to give it to you, Eden King doesn’t have the guts!" the third young master of the Goulds grimaced.

"Can I take a leaf? Can I take a branch?" Yusuf Zuck said cheerfully.

"His family’s treasures are all watched over by dedicated people, difficult, difficult, difficult if you want them—why is the King Family like our Gould Family, both third-class families? It’s because of that Yin-Yang fruit. And each time the Yin-Yang fruit ripens, a big shot comes and takes away ninety percent of it, leaving only ten percent for the King Family. Essentially, the King Family is just guarding the Yin-Yang fruit for others."

"Whether it works out or not, we’ll see later; let’s go have a drink with Eden King!" Yusuf Zuck hehe chuckled. In the backyard well of the King Family, one year a herb sprouted, and initially no one paid attention, but later the herb bore eighteen fruits over time, nine black and nine white, then the King Family realized, it was the legendary Yin-Yang fruit growing at the well!

Once the news spread, the King Family knew they couldn’t keep such a treasure, so they proactively contacted the Arellano Family among The Eight Great Families, also the Arellano family.

Then, people from the Arellano family came, claiming it was extraordinary and strange, for the Yin-Yang fruit grew naturally, not something divine beings could cultivate, so if plucked for transplanting, it would surely die—it must continue growing at the well. In this way, the King Family also came under the Arellano’s protection. When the Yin-Yang fruit ripened, people from the Arellano family would take sixteen fruits, leaving only two for the King Family.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t plan on taking the fruits, just their seeds, roots or stems would do!

He wanted to clear land for farming, to cultivate a vast field!
