Chapter 127: The Wonderful Use of the Token

At this moment, Ye Chen said to Palace Master Wen, “Palace Master Wen, may I purchase a token?”

Wen Qianqian replied, “Saint, according to our Pavilion’s rules, in principle, one force can only purchase one emperor decree. Therefore, I can only apologize.”

Ye Chen knew this would be the outcome and did not show too much disappointment.

Soon, Duan De, Ye Chen, and Zhao Ling left the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, Ye Chen could no longer hold back and asked, “Fellow Daoist Duan, how did you get so many tokens back then?”

Duan De said with a smile, “Palace Master Wen only said that, in principle, one force can only buy one token. She didn’t say that other methods weren’t allowed.”

Zhao Ling became excited at this moment, then took out two hundred billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Duan De, saying with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Duan, I’d like to hear the details.”

Looking at the two hundred billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his hand, Duan De was overjoyed. He had only earned a few hundred billion Spirit Stones by reselling over three hundred tokens back then. He didn’t expect Zhao Ling to offer two hundred billion right away. Large forces were indeed wealthy.

At this moment, he seemed to have found another way to earn Spirit Stones. If he resold tokens, he would likely be deducted more than ninety percent. However, if he helped these large forces’ Saints and Saintesses purchase them, he would avoid this risk.

As for whether they resold them later and had ninety percent of the earned Spirit Stones deducted, that was no longer his concern.

Duan De said with a smile, “Saintess, each token is ten billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones. As long as you have enough Spirit Stones, I will not only buy all the tokens in the Chamber of Commerce but also collect all the tokens circulating in the Wind and Thunder Prefecture. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling thought that ten billion for each token wasn't much. If they resold them later to other forces outside Shuo Province at the price of ten low-grade spirit veins, wouldn't the Tiangang Sect make a huge profit?

Zhao Ling said with a smile, “Good, it’s a deal. Here are five low-grade spirit veins, with a total value of one hundred trillion. At a price of five hundred billion per token, you can buy at least two hundred tokens. Just give me one hundred ninety-nine tokens, and the remaining five hundred billion is yours.”

Hearing this, Duan De was ecstatic. Each token was worth five hundred billion. If he found the families who hadn’t sold their tokens and acquired them for twenty billion, wouldn’t he make a fortune?

Zhao Ling knew that by doing this, Duan De would definitely make a huge profit, but she needed his help now, and she didn't care about this amount of Spirit Stones, so she readily agreed.

....

In the evening, Duan De and Zhao Ling met at the agreed location.

“Fellow Daoist Duan, how was your harvest today?”

Duan De looked around at this moment and said slyly, “Saintess, I did not fail. There are a total of two hundred fifty-three tokens here.”

Zhao Ling was delighted and then said, “There are so many! Fellow Daoist Duan, you’ve worked hard.”

“Saintess, you jest. It is my honor, Duan De, to be able to do things for the Saint and Saintess.”

At this moment, Ye Chen picked up the wine pot, poured a cup of wine for Zhao Ling and Duan De, and then said, “I didn’t expect this trip to go so smoothly. Ye Chen expresses his gratitude again.”

Zhao Ling and Duan De saw Ye Chen’s enthusiasm and then drank the wine in one gulp.

“It’s getting late. I won’t disturb the Saint and Saintess’s rest.”

After speaking, Duan De left the inn, and Ye Chen and Zhao Ling also returned to their respective rooms.

At this moment, Duan De was overjoyed. In just half a day today, he had earned a full twenty trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones. That was twenty trillion!

As for why he earned so much, it was because Duan De acquired all of them from the local forces of the Wind and Thunder Prefecture at a price of fifty billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones per token.

The local forces of the Wind and Thunder Prefecture also knew that with their Family's capabilities, they didn't even qualify to participate in the second auction, and the standards of such auctions would definitely become higher and higher in the future.

They might as well take advantage of the fact that the tokens hadn't been widely promoted yet and sell them for a good price. Coupled with Duan De's persuasion, they readily sold the tokens to Duan De, as fifty billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones was a huge sum for them.

However, when dealing with Jia Zhengyu, Duan De put in some effort and spent a total of two hundred fifty billion, but he was still able to net two hundred fifty billion.

At this moment, Duan De held the token in his hand, then stored all his Low-Grade Spirit Stones inside the token, because he discovered that this token was a spatial Magic Treasure, more Advanced than a Storage Ring, and the token had already recognized him as its master.

However, Duan De could not sense the Realm of this token, but its quality was at least above a third-tier Immortal Artifact, which was used by Heavenly Immortal Cultivators.

And when all the Spirit Stones were put into the token, a number was displayed on the token: 21334100000000, totaling twenty-one trillion three hundred thirty-four billion one hundred million.

What Duan De didn’t know was that a pair of cold eyes were watching him from behind. He was still foolishly looking at the token in his hand, which had already turned orange.

Suddenly, a figure flashed directly behind Duan De, and then a powerful Devilish Qi surged out, directly striking Duan De's back.

Duan De suddenly felt a strong premonition, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. Then, a huge energy fluctuation came from his back, with its energy at least at the Golden Immortal Realm.

“It’s over. I, Duan De, never thought I would be ambushed and killed by a Golden Immortal one day.”

Suddenly, the token in Duan De's hand emitted a strong golden light, and then a protective shield condensed around Duan De.

And the hand of the person who ambushed him from behind, carrying endless Devilish Qi, disintegrated one after another after touching the golden protective shield.

Only a scream was heard, and then the golden protective shield disappeared, and there was no figure behind him.

“Was that just my imagination? But the feeling of death just now was too real.”

No longer thinking about it, Duan De looked at the token in his hand again. He clearly felt that the golden light had come from the token just now.

However, at this moment, he widened his eyes again, then said in despair, “No, where are my Spirit Stones? Where did my Spirit Stones go?”

Because the twenty-one trillion three hundred thirty-four billion one hundred million Spirit Stones originally stored in the token now only had five trillion three hundred thirty-four billion one hundred million Spirit Stones left, a direct disappearance of sixteen trillion.

At this moment, Duan De was on the verge of tears. He finally earned twenty trillion Spirit Stones, and sixteen trillion just disappeared. No one could accept this.

“No, someone clearly ambushed me just now. I felt it so clearly. Could it be that this token helped me block that attack?”

Duan De said in shock, then carefully looked at the token in his hand.

But no matter how he looked at it, the token didn't react, but the Spirit Stones inside the token were indeed sixteen trillion less.

Then Duan De sat on the ground, constantly wailing.

“My Spirit Stones! My sixteen trillion Spirit Stones!”

What Duan De didn't know was that at this moment, a masked man in black was looking at the scene in horror. If he hadn't pulled back in time, his entire arm would probably be crippled now.

At this moment, he looked at his palm, his five fingers twisted, and his entire arm was covered in dense blisters, as if it had been burned by something, and even if he mobilized his cultivation to recover, the recovery was incredibly slow.

At this rate, it would take at least half a year to recover.
