Chapter 1727 - Big Order

Chapter 1727: Big Order
It was thus undeniable that Hundred Flower Fairy too possessed some Mysteries of Truth.
However, the fact that she could so easily tell him this secret was beyond Zhang Ruochen’s expectations.
Hundred Flower Fairy continued speaking.
After merely one year of cultivating the Way of Truth, you could already pass the sixth level of the ocean. Many people could have guessed that you have obtained Mysteries of Truth. Given your current cultivation level, there are many who could kill you even if they are not a Supreme Saint. Yet, even among the Supreme Saints, some of them would surely possess Mysteries of Truth. If they were to take part in killing you, how confident are you in being able to escape?


Thanks for your advice.

Zhang Ruochen expressed his thanks, and then said,
But I am quite confused. Exposing the fact that you possess Mysteries of Truth, are you not afraid that I would take them from you? Or even worse, publicize it and divert other’s attention toward you?

Hundred Flower Fairy gazed at Zhang Ruochen for a short while, and asked,
Are you that type of person?


No,
Zhang Ruochen replied.
Hundred Flower Fairy said,
I typically have a sharp eye for others. Zhang Ruochen, I know you are not one who would backstab others, at least, the temptation of Mysteries of Truth is not enough for you to do that.

Zhang Ruochen lifted the cut and sipped, before smiling.
It is an honor to be friends with Fairy.

Hundred Flower Fairy continued,
Since we are already friends, why not tell me a secret?


What secret?
Zhang Ruochen asked.
Hundred Flower Fairy replied,
I would like to know…where is the Divine Sky-connecting Tree?

Zhang Ruochen’s face tensed up.
Why do you want to know about this?

Hundred Flower Fairy answered,
My main cultivation is based on the Way of Life. The Divine Sky-connecting Tree has been the creature that throughout history has practiced the Way of Life to the highest level.

Zhang Ruochen thoughtfully said,
So, it seems like Fairy was aiming for the Divine Sky-connecting Tree all along.

Hundred Flower Fairy countered,
The Divine Sky-connecting Tree is extremely important to me. Of course, I am also keen to be friends with you. Even if you don’t tell me where the Divine Sky-connecting Tree is, we are still friends.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head.
A hundred thousand years ago, the Divine Sky-connecting Tree had fallen, and had already disappeared.

The Hundred Flower Fairy evidently knew about this, and argued,
Even if it was cut down, the tree trunk and the roots should have been preserved. To me, the rings on the trunk of the tree are the best guide to the Way of Life, and if I could view them, my cultivation level would surely improve drastically. Should Young Master Ruochen be able to give me some clues as to where it is, I am sure there would be a lot more things we could cooperate on in the future.

Being called a young master meant that Hundred Flower Fairy already viewed Zhang Ruochen as being on the same level.
Zhang Ruochen’s finger tapped the tabletop as he asked,
Can we really be friends?

Hundred Flower Fairy replied,
I think, for someone like you, friends are important.


Fine! Since Fairy has already said so much, I will be your friend. I do know where the trunk of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree is. But I can only tell you after we’ve reached Kunlun’s Field.


I knew you were the right person.

Hundred Flower Fairy’s eyes showed a tinge of delight, and she said,
Soon, as practitioners from all the different fields swarm into Kunlun’s Field, I will surely be there. At that time, you must be a good host and bring me to visit all the famous landmarks and scenery of Kunlun’s Field.


Being accompanied by the Fairy is an honor in itself.
Zhang Ruochen smiled.
Zhang Ruochen did not mention the new sapling of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. After all, his relationship with the Hundred Flower Fairy was not that close.
Zhang Ruochen took out a piece of paper with four materials:
King-grade Saint Jade Marrow Essence, Celestial Way Blood Stone, Rootless Heavenly Crane Flower, and Void Universe Tears.
Seeing the materials on the paper, Hundred Flower Fairy immediately understood what Zhang Ruochen was about to do, and probed,
You are trying to give body to a weapon spirit, and you are trying to make it top-tiered.

Zhang Ruochen said,
Thousand Pistil Field is a top-tiered world with countless friends and connections. You should be able to find these materials, right?

Zhang Ruochen had passed a similar list to Su Jing.
Seeing the materials, Su Jing’s face had gone completely pale, and he could only tell Zhang Ruochen that he would try his best to collect everything.
Guanghan Field surely wouldn’t match Thousand Pistil Field in their connections.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen gave another copy of the list of materials to Hundred Flower Fairy.
Hundred Flower Fairy replied,
King-grade Saint Jade Marrow Essence has strength comparable to a Saint King. Although it is rare, Hundred Flower Palace does indeed have one.

Rootless Heavenly Crane Flower is also possible to be found within Thousand Pistils Field.

Void Universe Tears is a special kind of liquid found floating in the universe. Usually, we can only find 1 droplet at once. Yet you are requesting a hundred droplets… I will try my best.

Celestial Way Blood Stones are even rarer. Typically they can only be found by Supreme Saints. Thus, I cannot guarantee that I can find one.

Actually, if your Saint Weapon is not a Supreme Saint Weapon, there is no need for you to give it the best body. That would make gathering the materials much easier.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said,
If I am going to make an attempt, I must make sure it is the best. If I really cannot find the materials required, I will then take a step back.

Oh and additionally, help me find twelve Saint King level Elephant Souls.

When attacking the Yin and Yang Palace, Zhang Ruochen had killed the rising star of the Black Demon Field, Zhan Yu. From within his body, Zhang Ruochen had extracted twelve dragon souls.
If he could now find twelve elephant souls, Zhang Ruochen was confident that he could master the 11th Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm.
Moreover, with those souls, Zhang Ruochen was confident that he would have a power spike.
Hundred Flower Fairy asked,
Do you know how much that costs? It would be almost a hundred million Saint Stones. Adding that to the previous order of rare materials, even if you defeated the Yin and Yang Palace and had a windfall, it should not be that easy for you to take out that amount, right?

Zhang Ruochen took out countless storage devices and showed them to Hundred Flower Fairy, and replied,
In the Truth Heavenly Domain, I killed some people, and from them, I got quite a number of items that I could sell. Perhaps Fairy could help me check how much these are worth?

Before Hundred Flower Fairy were a few hundred different storage devices.
This guy…He really killed a lot of people.
Hundred Flower Fairy waved her hand, and the petals around them disappeared. Then, Qian Liwen, who was now standing behind her, walked up and quickly estimated the value of each and every item.
The more he checked, the more his face changed into one of shock and astonishment.
After a good while, Qian Liwen transmitted a thought to Hundred Flower Fairy, and spoke a few sentences.
Hundred Flower Fairy’s eyes reflected surprise, and she said,
Seems like you don’t just have the two identities of Zhang Ruochen and Lin Yue. Even the person who killed the leader of Heavenly Track Field, Feng Jian, was you.

From the items that Zhang Ruochen had taken out, Hundred Flower Fairy caught a glimpse at Zhang Ruochen’s many secrets.
Zhang Ruochen seemed to not mind. The more secrets they knew of each other, the more secure their partnership would be.

So, does Hundred Flower Palace dare to buy these off me?


We dare. Why would we not dare? Of course, these will be difficult to deal with compared to normal goods, so the price we are willing to pay is a bit lower,
Hundred Flower Fairy replied.
Zhang Ruochen realized that this Fairy was not someone who merely possessed beauty and cultivation talent, she was also very smart when it came to dealing with others. To become the leader of a Field, one must really be talented in all areas.
He had probably underestimated her before.
Qian Liwen finished checking all the items and informed Hundred Flower Fairy,
Lady, the items that Zhang Ruochen has taken out amount to a total of about Two hundred Sixty Four million.


Two hundred million! We will take it all!
Hundred Flower Fairy offered.
Zhang Ruochen bitterly smiled. She had simply omitted over sixty million Saint Stones. One must understand that the estimated price would be a conservative estimate, meaning that if the items were sold, they would usually carry a higher price.
That said, most of the things here could only be sold discreetly. One thing was for sure: they could not be sold from Guanghan Field’s shops. As such, the only way for Zhang Ruochen to get rid of them would be to sell them to Hundred Flower Palace.
Zhang Ruochen agreed.
Alright! Let’s go with that. These will be considered the down payment. Once you find the materials, I will pay up the rest.

This was absolutely a big order!
Usually, only when dealing with Supreme Saints would there be such huge numbers involved. Fairy Supreme King and Qian Liwen revealed looks of delight as they both knew that Hundred Flower Palace had really earned a lot this time.
Hundred Flower Fairy personally negotiating was indeed easier than them doing so themselves.
Zhang Ruochen stood up, ready to leave.
Hundred Flower Fairy spoke.
I heard from my elder martial sister that you want to find Earthly Kill Organization and God of Death Palace?


Indeed. Did you catch wind of anything?
Zhang Ruochen was eager to know.
Hundred Flower Fairy nodded, and replied,
You came just at the right time. Just before this, God of Death Palace sent a message noting that they will be opening a temporary location. Anyone who wishes to place orders could head there.

Earthly Kill Organization, God of Death Palace, along with Heavenly Assassination Organization, were known as the three big assassination groups. Zhang Ruochen had always wanted to get in contact with them.
However, Earthly Kill Organization and God of Death Palace dared not offend the Truth Godly Palace either, so whenever they took orders in Truth Heavenly Domain, they would be particularly careful.
Every meeting place was temporary, and new customers must be accompanied by older customers.
Zhang Ruochen said,
I want to kill some people. May I ask that Hundred Flower Fairy send someone to accompany me?


That would not be necessary. I will be going there myself. Incidentally, I also want some people dead.
Hundred Flower Fairy’s eyes suddenly had a glint of coldness. Her fleeting aura suddenly seemed solemn.
As the night fell, all was dark. It was a moonless night.
Zhang Ruochen wore a metallic mask, and Xie Chengzi withdrew all presence, following behind him.
Hundred Flower Fairy turned into a frail ordinary-looking lady. The three of them headed to the boundary of the Heavenly Capital Mountain.
There were already a number of people there. Most of them wore masks or veils, not wanting to be easily recognized by others. Only a small minority did not seem to care.
They gazed toward the distant curtain of darkness as they quietly waited.
