103: Chapter 103 Rare and Precious Treasures!
Tianning City.
Demon Castle.
The clerk wiped away sweat, bustling to lead the way ahead.
The top floor of the Tianning City Demon Castle was not as extravagant or eerie as one might imagine.
Instead, it exuded a minimalist style with a metallic texture, and the surrounding walls shimmered with a faint, eerie cyan light.
Allen followed behind, his pace unhurried, his boot soles making rhythmic, crisp sounds against the obsidian floor.
"The Castle Master is inside, my lord, please."
The clerk bowed and retreated to the side, not daring to lift his head to look directly at Allen.
This was the ruthless man who had single-handedly killed Moro; heaven knows what kind of monster this guy was.
Allen pushed the door open and stepped in, his gaze sweeping past the spacious screen.
In the center of the room.
A man with long purple hair was sitting upright on a large throne, toying with an unknown crystal in his hand.
Kane.
The person in charge of the Tianning Prefecture Demon Castle, a veteran Seven-Star Fiend.
Kane looked up, a flash of surprise appearing in his eyes.
This surprise vanished in an instant, replaced by a sense of scrutiny.
"Allen?"
Kane spoke, his voice like sandpaper grinding across a tabletop, rough yet magnetic.
Allen nodded and casually pulled over a metal chair to sit down.
"That guy Moro, even if I were to make a move, it would take some effort."
Kane put down the crystal.
His tone was not that of a superior looking down on a subordinate, but rather like assessing a partner of equal standing.
"Just good luck."
Allen replied offhandedly, his tone devoid of any hint of humility.
Such words were pure nonsense in the Higher Planes.
In Hell, luck never saves the life of the weak.
Kane laughed dumbfoundedly and flicked his finger.
A card, pitch-black with gold patterns inlaid along the edges, slid across the table.
"This is proof of your identity."
"As a Seven-Star Fiend, no matter which plane you go to, this is the top-tier pass."
Allen pressed his index and middle fingers together, steadily holding down the sliding card.
The card was ice-cold, carrying a strange fluctuation of Divine Power.
"Castle Master, there's no need for pleasantries."
Allen cut straight to the point.
He was never accustomed to wasting time on meaningless professional flattery.
"I need some specific things."
"As long as the goods are good, ink stone is not an issue."
Kane raised an eyebrow and leaned forward slightly.
He was quite interested in Allen's straightforward personality.
"Oh?"
"In the Muya Continent, there is nothing that the Demon Castle cannot obtain."
"The prerequisite is that you can pay the price."
Kane's purple eyes stared at Allen, as if trying to see through this excessively young expert.
"I want Heaven And Earth Treasure of the Fire, Water, Lightning Affinity, and Life attributes."
Allen's tone was steady.
But stacking these four terms together was enough to move any Highgod.
This demand spanned four areas, it was practically like running a grocery store.
Kane was stunned for half a second, then immediately returned to normal.
He leaned back against the chair, his gaze becoming somewhat strange.
"Allen."
"I must say."
"Your ambition, or curiosity, is a bit beyond my expectations."
He tapped lightly in the Void Realm.
A water curtain appeared, with dense text flickering on it.
"Although Hell is vast, there are indeed many Heaven And Earth Treasure..."
"But you need to know one thing."
Kane extended a finger and swiped across the phantom image.
"Most of the treasures you have heard of or heard rumors about actually only have one purpose."
He stopped his movement, his gaze piercing directly at Allen.
"That is to accelerate the comprehension of the Mysteries of the Laws."
Allen frowned, signaling the other party to continue.
"As long as you spend some ink stone, buying these things is not difficult."
Kane's tone was indifferent.
He was even somewhat disdainful, as if these things were just cheap catalysts in his eyes.
"Even if you have comprehended all the Laws of the Fire attribute."
"If you cannot achieve Fusion, then you are just an ordinary Highgod."
Kane spoke very directly.
He had lived in Hell for hundreds of millions of years and had seen too many so-called "Geniuses" stuck at the threshold of Fusion.
"An ordinary Highgod, in a place like Hell, is no different from a blade of grass."
This was very blunt, but it was also the bloodiest reality.
Allen remained silent, waiting for what was to come.
Of course, he knew the importance of Fusion, which was why he came here.
"As for the treasures you want that can help with the Fusion of the Mysteries of the Laws..."
Kane sighed.
He shook his head, a trace of bitterness appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"That kind of thing is truly rare, one might even say it is a good thing that even Chief Sovereigns would pay attention to."
Kane waved his hand, and the water curtain disappeared.
"Every time these things appear, they stir up blood and chaos."
"Even... even experts at the level of Prefecture Lords would personally enter the fray to fight for them."
Allen rubbed his chin.
As expected.
Good things are never placed on a counter with a price tag.
Kane stood up, walked to a hidden compartment in the back, and took out several exquisite jade boxes.
The boxes hadn't been opened yet.
A refreshing fragrance had already permeated the air.
"These are what the Demon Castle can currently provide."
He opened them one by one; inside lay fruits and liquids of various colors.
"This is the Heart-Burning Fruit; it can put the Soul of a Fire attribute deity into a state of absolute excitement while comprehending the Laws."
Kane pointed to the second box, which contained a pulsating mass of lightning.
"Lightning Pulp Crystal, the favorite of Lightning Affinity deities; it can directly increase affinity for the Profound Mystery of Lightning Element."
He pushed the items toward Allen.
"And this, a Divine Power crystal of the Life attribute."
"It not only heals wounds but also has significant benefits for comprehending the essence of life."
Allen glanced at them; not seeing any treasures that could accelerate Fusion, he couldn't help but feel a bit uninterested.
"Can these accelerate Fusion?"
He asked, unwilling to give up.
Kane laughed and looked at him as if he were a madman.
"Allen, are you joking?"
Kane pointed to the Heart-Burning Fruit.
"These things are just accelerators for comprehending the Laws; they are ineffective for Fusion."
Allen sighed.
Although he had been mentally prepared.
But hearing the definitive answer, he still felt a bit regretful.
"Except for the Heart-Burning Fruit."
"How much for the other items?"
Allen spoke.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat.
Using them for his Divine Clone could also save a lot of time in arduous cultivation.
Kane waved his hand, appearing very generous.
"Ten million ink stone."
When this price was spoken, Allen was stunned.
He blinked, doubting if he had heard wrong.
Ten million ink stone sounded like a lot.
But for a Seven-Star Fiend, this was just pocket change.
The reward for killing Moro just now was ten million Zhan stones, which was ten billion ink stone.
"What, do you think it's expensive?"
Kane teased.
Allen shook his head.
"No, I think it's too cheap."
Kane laughed heartily and sat back on the throne.
"I said, these are just for accelerating comprehension; they aren't worth much."
"People who have comprehended all the Mysteries but cannot achieve Fusion are a dime a dozen in Hell."
"Such people are at most Four-Star Fiend in strength, or even weaker."
Kane looked at Allen, his tone becoming more sincere.
"You are a Genius who killed Moro; there is no need for me to cheat you on such small things."
In a place like Hell.
Rather than earning that bit of ink stone, it is better to do a favor for an expert with unlimited potential.
An old fox like Kane calculates accounts very clearly.
Allen swiped his card readily.
ink stone, for him, was indeed just a number.
"Castle Master, please keep an eye out for me."
Allen put away the jade boxes, his expression serious.
"If one day there is news of treasures that can help with Fusion, or similar clues, notify me immediately."
He paused, his tone firm.
"The price is negotiable, or I can owe you a favor."
Hearing the word "favor".
Kane's eyes couldn't help but light up.
A favor from a Genius whose strength is at least that of a Seven-Star Fiend, or perhaps even stronger.
This was far more valuable than hundreds of millions or billions of ink stone.
"No problem."
"As long as there is any movement in the Muya Continent, my people will lock onto the information immediately."
