Chapter 205: Chapter 203: The So-called Fair Trade _1

Moreover, there were several passages in the main cave leading to other caves, which Owen Bertram went to check as well. These caves contained a vast amount of Spirit Jades, Spiritual Pills, Treasure Materials, etc.

Despite looking very tempting, Owen knew that he couldn’t take everything. While Abner Lane and the others hadn’t entered yet, he hurriedly opened his Storage Brocade Pouch and took about ten percent of the Spirit Jades, Spiritual Pills, and Treasure Materials from the caves.

Then, he obediently returned to the main cave, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, as if waiting for Abner Lane and the others to come down.

As expected, it didn’t take long for Abner Lane and the knights to enter. After looking around, Abner asked with confusion, "You didn’t take anything?"

Owen clasped his hands and "honestly" said, "This concerns my reputation. It’s only natural that I should wait for Master Lane to come down before taking action."

Abner Lane neither agreed nor disagreed, and waved his hand, "You go first, and you can choose three items: two originally allowed, plus the one that I promised you just now."

"Or, you can exchange other treasures for the ones you like— but don’t try to fool me with items like Spiritual Soil anymore!"

Owen really wanted to tell him that the Spiritual Soil was indeed a treasure and that they didn’t recognize its value. However, seeing the expression on Abner’s face, he didn’t bother to say more. He had already chosen the items he wanted while standing here.

Although all the treasures here were valuable and their prices far surpassed those of the Royal Palace’s Secret Vault, not many of them were suitable for single-person use. First, Owen picked an earthenware jar containing three Tier-6 Spiritual Flames!

Next, he chose a jade mirror called Compendium of Medicines, which could reveal the names and functions of any unknown spiritual medicines once it was shone upon it.

For his last choice, Owen hesitated. There were several suitable treasures here, and he found it hard to decide.

First, there was a Golden Coffin that could refine corpses, nourish souls, and rapidly enhance Yin items placed inside. Moreover, it had a vast space that could even fit an entire Ghost Army.

This must’ve been prepared by Prince Henry for the Ghost Zone but hadn’t had the chance to be bestowed yet. He might’ve been afraid that the Ghost Army would become too powerful to control before the uprising.

Placing this treasure in the Ghost Zone would undoubtedly grant a massive boost to the area.

Second, there was a set of "Seven Dao Soldiers," made from the Flexible Ironwood, which were not Mechanical Dao Soldiers but Taoist Soldiers. The craftsmanship was of the highest quality, making them Tire-5 Magic Weapons. They were like Russian nesting dolls, with one fitting inside another. During battles, the smaller Dao Soldiers could emerge to catch the enemy off guard. The smaller the Dao Soldier, the more powerful it was.

The third item was a Jade Seal.

It seemed unremarkable and unimpressive at first glance. However, being placed here and among the top three stone frames, it must be an extraordinary treasure.

In Abner’s view, the Jade Seal must have been a very powerful treasure that had suffered heavy damage and consequently fell from its previous level. If repaired, its power would be terrifying.

However, in Owen’s eyes, he could see the "Divinity" on the Jade Seal!

It was a treasure left behind by a deity similar to the River God after their fall. The Jade Seal was the symbol of the deity’s divine authority.

However, there was Cause and Effect entangled within that "Divinity," which was why Owen judged it similar to the River God, who had become a deity based on the beliefs of the mortal world.

This treasure, when fed to Lord, might yield unexpected results.

For a moment, Owen was torn between the choices. He wanted them all, but could only choose one.

The two treasures he’d chosen earlier seemed less expensive than these, but they were practical choices for Owen and couldn’t be abandoned.

Abner saw Owen’s dilemma and stressed, "Don’t try to deceive me with Spiritual Soil again. I’ve already given you many advantages; don’t be greedy."

Owen calculated his possessions and tentatively asked, "What about Divine Seal Pills?"

Abner smirked, "Divine Seal Pills are indeed precious, but it’s delusional to think a single pill could be exchanged for any of the treasures here."

Owen shook his head, "Of course not just one. How about ten?"

Abner’s expression turned serious, "How can you have so many Divine Seal Pills?"

These Spiritual Pills were extremely rare, and even a Pill Master at the Fifth Great Domain couldn’t guarantee success in refining them. Thus, even in the Capital, they were highly sought after. One Divine Seal Pill was almost equivalent to one opportunity to break through the Fourth Great Realm!

Owen waved his hand, "Don’t worry about that. Is it a deal?"

Abner wondered how many Divine Seal Pills this fellow had, as he had several subordinates who were stuck at bottlenecks in their cultivation.

"Twenty pills— I can make the decision. Twenty Divine Seal Pills in exchange for one treasure."

"What a rip-off!" Owen almost blurted out. Even Lord’s ten percent pawn wasn’t this harsh.

After a round of warm (fake) and friendly (fake) negotiations, the final deal was struck for seventeen Divine Seal Pills.

Commander Bertram didn’t lose in this transaction, and he even got a small bargain out of it.

Although the Divine Seal Pills were precious, they were, after all, just Tier-3 Spiritual Pills. Their highest function was for those at the peak of the Third Great Boundary to break through to the Fourth Great Realm.

However, for top-notch experts like Abner, the treasures here had far more value than the Divine Seal Pills, which were simply useless to him besides giving them to his subordinates.

During the bargaining process, Abner felt that he had probed Owen’s stock of Divine Seal Pills: about twenty.

This number was already quite astonishing, and Abner couldn’t help but wonder where the boy had gotten so many sought-after pills.

Abner couldn’t let him be too advantaged, but Owen was a talent who could be useful in the future. Thus, Abner was willing to accommodate him and settled for seventeen pills.

After agreeing on the price, Abner believed Owen could choose two more treasures. However, before he could ask, "Which two are you going to choose?" Owen clapped his hands and laughed, "Come on, count how many treasures are here in total. How many Divine Seal Pills would I need for one treasure?"

Owen was in a good mood and pointed at David, "How’s your math? Calculate it."

Abner was startled, "What do you mean?"

Owen spread his hands, "Did I not make myself clear? One treasure in exchange for seventeen Divine Seal Pills. Count how many there are in total, and how many pills I need. I don’t have that many on hand right now, but don’t worry, I’m good at alchemy..."

Suddenly, Owen noticed that Abner’s expression had changed drastically, and he grew tense as well, "Hold on! Master Lane, you’re a person of status. You won’t go back on your word and not recognize this transaction, will you?"

David and the other knights were dumbstruck...
