245: Chapter 245 A Great Being Who Values ​​Contracts?

Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers once again gasped, their eyes wide open.

"Wh... What is going on? Is this a scale from the Sea Siren Clan?"

"Such a precious material caused two big figures to argue until their faces were red and almost come to blows just now, yet now another one is actually being pulled out?"

"What on earth is this person's background? Could it be that he dug up the ancestral graves of the entire Sea Siren Clan?"

"And to be able to casually pull out such a rare treasure, could it be that to him, this is nothing more than an ordinary item?"

Not just them, even Chairman Zhao Yan's pupils shrank abruptly at this moment.

There was actually a second Sea Siren Clan scale!

However, he was only shocked for a moment before quickly snapping back to his senses.

Indeed, judging from what happened just now.

The existence before him was none other than the Sun Priest, who could stand side by side with the Lord of the Gray Crown and suppress the Sun-Swallowing Sin Lord single-handedly.

That was an immemorial powerhouse who had spanned who knows how many years, an existence truly standing at the pinnacle of the world.

And for such a powerful and ancient existence to hold a few Sea Siren Clan scales that had long since vanished from history didn't seem strange at all.

Perhaps in the distant immemorial era, the Sea Siren Clan was merely a servant race responsible for sweeping the courtyards in his temple.

Treasures that were priceless to them might just be ordinary bottom-of-the-box items in his eyes.

Just as Chairman Zhao Yan's thoughts were churning in his mind, Su Lin spoke, pulling his attention back:

"Didn't you desperately need these Sea Siren Clan Materials?"

"According to the conditions you promised just now, the contract remains the same. Spirit crystals, Demonic Beast cores, and spirit marrow jade liquid—not a single thing will be missing. This seat always engages in fair trade and never cheats anyone, old or young."

Getting it for free was a steal anyway; trading a one-star material for so many good things meant not taking it would be foolish.

However, as soon as these words were spoken,

Chairman Zhao Yan was completely stunned.

He widened his eyes, looking at that scale in disbelief, his hands trembling with excitement.

Although he didn't think that with the other party's status and strength, they truly needed those few Demonic Beast cores and bottles of spirit marrow jade liquid.

After all, this was an immemorial existence capable of standing side by side with the Lord of the Gray Crown and suppressing demon gods single-handedly.

What kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure had he not seen?

What kind of Cultivate resources would he lack?

Yet the other party still insisted on completing the transaction according to the agreement, rather than forcibly seizing it from his hands.

This was enough to show that the Sun Priest before him was an existence who greatly valued the spirit of contract, as well as promises and rules.

Whether one said it or not, was this the moral integrity and demeanor of those Great Existences from the immemorial era?

Clearly a taboo powerhouse transcending all living beings, yet he still strictly adhered to the rules of trade.

Not bullying the weak with strength, nor suppressing others with authority.

It truly made one both awe-inspired and submissive.

Speaking of which, that Gray-robed Masked Man... No, he should now be respectfully addressed as the Lord of the Gray Crown.

He seemed to be the same way.

Back then at the Supernatural Gathering in Linhai City, he had also appeared so low-key, visiting and trading.

Although he later carried out punishment due to the rudeness of the Zhao family's young master, he never killed the innocent from start to finish.

At that time, this matter spread like wildfire in the Transcendent circles of Linhai City.

Many people were guessing the true identity and purpose of that Gray-robed Masked Man.

And now, combining everything said by the Sun-Swallowing Sin Lord.

The Lord of the Gray Crown and the Sun Priest were allies. They were joining hands to clear out the Old Gods, investigate those loosened Seals, and stop those ancient existences attempting to resurrect and return.

Viewed this way, whether it was the Lord of the Gray Crown or the Sun Priest before him,

they both seemed to be existences friendly to the Human Race, immemorial guardians secretly protecting this land.

Chairman Zhao Yan's thoughts inevitably drifted further away.

Perhaps in the distant ancient era, during those dark years buried by historical faults,

when the Old Gods ravaged the earth and demon gods devoured living beings, it was precisely these Great Existences that stood up.

They might have once been the oldest guardians of this land, fighting bloody battles against the evil gods and Old Gods attempting to destroy the world.

Only thus did they win that precious breathing space for the subsequent human civilization, the rise of the Five Great Orthodox Churches, and the continuation of the Dragon Country and the entire Human Race.

It was just that as time passed, their names were forgotten by the world.

Their deeds were buried in the dust of history, and even the humans they once protected no longer remembered their existence.

But they still did not give up, continuing to secretly execute that plan spanning tens of thousands of years, silently clearing out those returning threats of the past.

Thinking of this, Chairman Zhao Yan looked at Su Lin once again.

But in his eyes, there was no longer just awe, but also a few parts of heartfelt emotion and reverence.

Therefore, Chairman Zhao Yan solemnly nodded and said with full admiration: "Very well, My Lord, I will fulfill my contract."

Having said that, he turned around and beckoned behind him.

A Servants who had been waiting aside hurriedly trotted over and respectfully handed over a silver metal box.

The box was entirely forged from mithril, and its surface was densely engraved with miniature runes.

Radiating a faint energy fluctuation, it was unexpectedly a portable spatial Transcendent item.

Chairman Zhao Yan presented the metal box to Su Lin with both hands and said respectfully:

"Senior, inside here are ten million spirit crystals, five high-tier Demonic Beast cores, and two bottles of spirit marrow jade liquid specially supplied by the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce. The quality is definitely better than what circulates on the market; please take a look."

Su Lin took the metal box, casually opened it, and glanced inside.

The space inside the box was much larger than it appeared on the outside.

Needless to say about the ten million spirit crystals.

Five Demonic Beast cores emitting various colored lights were neatly arranged.

Each one was the size of a fist, and their energy fluctuations were thick and pure.

Four of them were two-star Materials judged by the System, and there was even one three-star material.

Those two bottles of spirit marrow jade liquid were even rarer.

The milky-white liquid slowly flowed inside the bottle, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost condensed into substance.

They were unexpectedly all three-star Cultivate Materials.

In addition, there were some Spiritual Plants, Spirit Stones, and the like of not-low quality.

"Not bad." Su Lin nodded in satisfaction and put the metal box into the System Space.

Seeing that he was satisfied, Chairman Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed deeply again, and retreated to the side.

His eyes were filled with admiration.

Clearly possessing the power to crush everything, this Sun Priest still kept his promises and respected transactions.

This demeanor was probably something he could never learn in this lifetime.

Chairman Zhao Yan's business was considered over, and Su Lin turned his head to look at Lu Chenzhou on the side.

Su Lin simply said indifferently: "It's time for you to fulfill your contract."

Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou said with a solemn expression: "Senior, rest assured. This Junior would never dare to break his word. This Junior will start Artifact Refining tonight, and before tomorrow morning, the Fusion Troll will definitely be delivered into your hands."

Although he didn't think the lord before him really cared about some Fusion Troll.

But judging from Chairman Zhao Yan's transaction just now.

The lord before him was clearly an existence who placed great importance on contracts and agreements.

Then he could afford even less to be negligent in the slightest.

Since it was agreed to use the Fusion Troll as payment, he had to bring out his highest standard, and absolutely could not fob him off with shoddy goods.

This was not only out of respect for this lord.

But even more a defense of his identity and dignity as an artificer of the Wanxiang Melting Furnace.

Hearing this, Su Lin was somewhat surprised.

Able to refine a Fusion Troll in a single night?

Can this old man actually pull it off? Isn't he just bragging?

However, on second thought, this guy was a figure who had refined the Frost-Bone Troll thirty years ago.

That was a legendary work that had properly proven itself on the battlefield.

Since he dared to guarantee it with such absolute certainty, he likely really had some unique secret technique or bottom-of-the-box reserve Materials.

Anyway, there was no loss to him, so he might as well let him try.

With matters here concluded and such a big commotion just made, the gazes of the surrounding people looking at him had completely changed.

Staying any longer wouldn't be interesting either.

Besides, after wandering around just now, aside from the Scavenger Beast's mutated stomach pouch, there really weren't any high-star Materials worth him making a move for.

Rather than continuing to waste time here, it was better to leave early; the longer he stayed, the easier it was to attract more unnecessary attention. He'd better retreat quickly.

However, speaking of which, he was actually somewhat curious about the Fusion secret technique of the Wanxiang Melting Furnace.

Being able to forcibly blend mutually exclusive exotic beast tissues into a single war weapon—this flesh-and-blood Fusion technology seemed somewhat similar to how he used the System to create creatures.

Why not go along and see what it's all about.

Perhaps it could provide him with some new ideas and give him more references when creating new creations in the future.

Thinking this, Su Lin directly said: "Alright, then let's go. Lead the way."

Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou was stunned for a moment.

Lead the way?

Then he quickly reacted.

This lord wanted to personally go to his Artifact Refining workshop to watch him refine the Fusion Troll?

Thinking of this, Lu Chenzhou felt both apprehensive and honored, and immediately couldn't even bother to pack up his stall.

He hoisted a dilapidated large wooden box and made a respectful gesturing motion towards Su Lin:

"Senior, this way please. Old man's Artifact Refining workshop is not far from the gathering."

Su Lin nodded, followed Lu Chenzhou, and walked towards the outside of the gathering.

Until that dark red robe completely disappeared from view,

did the people at the scene finally dare to take a deep breath.

They felt like they had come back to life.
