Chapter 2044: Thousand Treasure Card, Wanbao Tower
Chapter 2044: Chapter 2044: Thousand Treasure Card, Wanbao Tower
Supervisory Temple, Wanbao Pavilion.
This is the information that Netherworld King and others have obtained.
And as for whether the Holy Court is involved in these two forces, it’s still unknown.
Inside the room.
Netherworld King and the others looked at Manager Xie and a middle-aged man walking in.
The middle-aged man’s aura was inscrutable to Netherworld King and the others, entirely restrained, suggesting a high status in Wanbao Pavilion.
Manager Xie smiled and said, "This is the Third Elder from our Wanbao Pavilion headquarters, currently inspecting here in Yu Yue City."
Everyone clasped their hands in greeting.
The Third Elder glanced over the group and stepped forward with a smile, "You young folks are truly impressive, being able to present such a medicinal pill, you’re already honored guests of our Wanbao Pavilion."
Mu Fusheng clasped his hands, "Senior, you praise us too highly, it was obtained by chance."
The Third Elder nodded slightly, not probing further into the true origin of the medicinal pill.
To people from trade associations like them, origins aren’t important; the value of the item is.
Moreover, given Wanbao Pavilion’s strength, they have the capital to hold such treasures.
"The value of the Thunder-extinguishing Dragon Horn is far less than that of this medicinal pill." The Third Elder took out six cards with purple-golden patterns and handed them to the six people including Mu Fusheng.
Mu Fusheng and the six accepted them and looked down at the cards, where the purple-golden patterns contained an indistinct and intangible airflow.
The Third Elder explained, "This card is our Wanbao Pavilion’s Thousand Treasure Card, ranked just below the Wanbao Card. You can enjoy privileges at any Wanbao Pavilion in the Fuyao Realm in the future."
Manager Xie smiled beside him, "Do not take the Third Elder’s words lightly, the Thousand Treasure Card is one of only thirty in the entire Fuyao Realm, and the Wanbao Card is even rarer. The privileges available aren’t something that can be easily explained in a few words...
For instance, if you fancy a treasure but temporarily lack the purchasing power, you can take the treasure to use first and discuss it later, enjoying various priorities."
Netherworld King and others were slightly surprised.
Just this one privilege was enough to make others green with envy.
After all, Wanbao Pavilion is not just any ordinary trade association; it is the top trade guild in the Fuyao Realm, with countless treasures within.
"Many thanks to the Third Elder." Mu Fusheng said with cupped fists.
The Third Elder waved his hand, "Beyond that, you can select another item."
Jiu Bailu and Mu Fusheng exchanged glances.
This medicinal pill isn’t of high grade, yet it’s been infused with the Power of Cause and Effect, greatly increasing its value beyond expectations.
Mu Fusheng thought for a moment and then asked, "Senior, how much do you know about the Supervisory Temple?"
The Third Elder was slightly taken aback but still replied, "In the Fuyao Realm, the Supervisory Temple is a dominant force, and its presence here is merely one branch; there are branches in most worlds linked to the World Tree."
A colossus!
Perhaps the Supervisory Temple of the six worlds originated from this force.
Due to the six worlds being sealed, the Supervisory Temple of the six worlds gradually became segregated.
"The Supervisory Temple holds significant power and has the ability to oversee other sects and factions."
Ning Chenxin asked confusedly, "But why would major forces willingly let the Supervisory Temple oversee them?"
The Third Elder smiled, "Strength rules everywhere; if the Supervisory Temple had no backing, why would other forces comply?"
"You should know that the Supervisory Temple itself was established by the Holy Court as a Law Enforcement Force."
Upon hearing this.
Netherworld King and others’ pupils contracted sharply.
No wonder.
If the backing force is the Holy Court, other forces have no choice but to submit.
Especially to an enforcement force with such high authority.
The Third Elder waved his hand, "Fortunately, the Supervisory Temple doesn’t extend its reach too much; as long as you don’t provoke them, it won’t be a problem, but..."
The Third Elder’s tone shifted, looking at Mu Fusheng, "Do you intend to join the Supervisory Temple? Earlier, Yang Shao recruited you."
Mu Fusheng was about to say something.
Hong Ying nodded, "Yes, that is indeed the intention."
Mu Fusheng was shocked, looking at Hong Ying and Netherworld King; that expression...too familiar.
Time to stir things up...
Mu Fusheng couldn’t help but cover his face.
Directly infiltrating the enemy’s depths...
The benefits are substantial, but it’s far too easy to be exposed!
This clashes entirely with Mu Fusheng’s thoughts.
Jiu Bailu seemed to see through Mu Fusheng’s thoughts, patted Mu Fusheng on the shoulder with a laugh, "It’s okay, things never go as you plan anyway, but the results usually turn out quite well."
Mu Fusheng covered his face, eyes almost tearing up.
What a damned reasonable statement...
"You’re really good at comforting people, thank you."
"No need for such politeness between husband and wife."
"..."
The Third Elder observed this and nodded slightly, jesting, "If you can join the Supervisory Temple, indeed it’s best, it’s just a pity you weren’t recruited into Wanbao Pavilion, and we’ve missed out on such promising young talents."
"Alright, I have other affairs to attend to, if you need anything else, feel free to reach out to Manager Xie...or me."
Mu Fusheng clasped his hands, "Coincidentally, we were just about to leave."
The Third Elder looked at Manager Xie.
Manager Xie understood, extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, saying, "Everyone, please follow me."
Netherworld King and the others followed.
Upon reaching the door, Netherworld King said, "Manager, please stay."
Manager Xie smiled, "Alright, I won’t see you off, if you need anything, just find me."
The people inside and outside Wanbao Pavilion were astonished watching this scene.
Manager Xie personally seeing them out?
And it’s just six young people?
The backing of these six must be immense!
Manager Xie ignored the gazes of others and only watched as Netherworld King and the others walked into the distance before turning back into a room.
The Third Elder was inside.
Manager Xie’s smile vanished, replaced by puzzlement.
"Third Elder, do you have such high regard for them? You’ve even given out six Thousand Treasure Cards!"
Bear in mind, there are only thirty in the entire Fuyao Realm!
The Third Elder continued looking at the scroll in his hand, without raising his head, "The world only knows the Power of Cause and Effect is elusive, wonderfully mysterious, and extremely rare; but there’s one aspect mentioned in an ancient book... A book few have seen, stored in the deepest part of the Wanbao Tower."
Wanbao Tower, reserved only for extremely precious treasures.
Yet an ancient book is placed in its depths!
Manager Xie’s expression turned to shock.
The Third Elder put down the scroll, looked at Manager Xie, his gaze shifting from gentle to as piercing as an eagle’s toward Manager Xie.
With a serious tone, word by word, he stated, "The ancient book says that whoever holds the Power of Cause and Effect bears great cause; and who among those bearing great cause is an ordinary person?"
Manager Xie’s face turned serious, "Great cause...whether it’s good or bad remains unknown..."
Upon hearing this.
The Third Elder rose with laughter, "People like us, when haven’t we shared the table of fate and cause at that gambling table? Without the courage to sit there, what right do we have to reach the peak?"
"It’s merely about rising or perishing!"
