Chapter 46

As soon as Yun Shen saw President Cai's reaction, he knew that the object in his hand was definitely extraordinary. Even if it was only legendary quality, it had special features.

After all, for a person like President Cai, legendary quality really doesn't count as anything, and perhaps only mythical quality is qualified to enter his eyes.

Yun Shen thought for a moment, and then felt relieved. The Heavens Chamber of Commerce is monitored by the world will at all times, even if they are jealous of the object in his hand, they cannot kill people to seize treasure.

Not to mention being a lord, one cannot even actively harm wild monsters.

Yun Shen asked, "Chairman Cai? Do you know the origin of this item?"

Chairman Cai: "Are you selling it?"

Yun Shen: "..."

Chairman Cai immediately snapped back to reality, realizing he had lost his composure again. After two dry coughs, he said in a deep voice, "I sense a trace of the origin of the Will of Poison in this bead. If you are willing, I can leave behind all the goods I brought on this trip, and even pay a substantial amount of Source Crystals."

Yun Shen: "!!!"

To make Chairman Cai offer such an exaggerated response, one could see the preciousness of the snake bead in his hand.

Recalling the items on the list just now, to be honest, Yun Shen was truly tempted.

Yun Shen continued to ask, "Chairman Cai, could you tell me what this 'Will of Poison' is?"

Chairman Cai said in surprise, "Hmm... it seems the curriculum on your Blue Star is a bit slow; you actually don't even understand the Great Dao Will."

Yun Shen scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "The innate abilities of the Human race are not prominent among the ten thousand races; please excuse my ignorance."

What could he do about this? Should he say the Human race's intelligence wasn't high enough and they learned things too slowly?

Chairman Cai thought for a moment and said, "Let me put it simply: as long as one walks far enough on a certain Great Dao, surpassing all fellow travelers, one will possess the power to control that entire Great Dao! Such an existence is referred to as a Great Dao Will!"

This was also the reason why he was so shocked after seeing the snake bead.

If the Void Treasury being favored by the Void Will was equivalent to a feeling of affection, then the origin contained within this snake bead was equivalent to someone having extracted the essence blood of the Will of Poison!

Even if it was only a tiny bit, its status was ridiculously high!

"I see. Then what use does this bead have?"

This was what Yun Shen cared about most. If it wasn't of much use to him, selling it wasn't out of the question.

"Hmm..."

Chairman Cai pondered for a long time before saying, "It's hard to say. I don't walk the Great Dao of Poison, so I know very little about it. However, at the very least, this bead possesses the effect of assisting in the comprehension of the Great Dao of Poison."

"I see."

Yun Shen looked at the snake bead in his hand and, after thinking for a long time, decided not to sell it.

It was clearly not a wise move to sell it casually without knowing its specific value.

Moreover, looking at Chairman Cai's attitude, if he were short on Source Crystals or other resources in the future, he would surely be willing to buy this snake bead at a high price.

Since that was the case, he might as well keep it for now and see if he could develop the effects of this snake bead.

If he could unearth higher value, he could definitely sell it for a higher price!

Yun Shen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chairman Cai, but I think I'll keep this bead for myself for now."

Chairman Cai didn't mind; such precious items were rare and hard to come by. He chuckled lightly, "That's fine. This can be considered a stroke of fortune for you. When you reach level one hundred and prepare to become a god, perhaps it will help you comprehend the Great Dao of Poison."

"Many thanks for your guidance, Chairman Cai."

Yun Shen felt that this was knowledge for after entering university; for a junior high graduate who hadn't even officially started high school, it was too far off.

"Since there is nothing else, I shall not disturb you further."

Finally, Chairman Cai looked around at the stunning beauties in the territory and gave Yun Shen a look that every man understood. "Lord Yun Shen, take care of your health."

Having said that, Chairman Cai ignored the speechless Yun Shen, his figure flashing and disappearing without a trace.

Yun Shen shook his head slightly and said, "Alright, ladies, I'm sure you must all be hungry. Eat up."

"Many thanks, my lord. My lord, you should eat more too; take care of your health."

Among the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling, a few of the bolder ones began to tease him, as if they weren't afraid at all that Yun Shen might make them serve him in bed tonight.

Yun Shen rolled his eyes and sat down to pick up his chopsticks.

He hadn't eaten much while Chairman Cai was here; they had only been talking business.

"Right, the skill book."

As soon as the business was concluded, Yun Shen remembered the Epic-grade skill book he had just obtained and took it out from the Void Treasury.

This was a skill called [Glazed Golden Body], suitable for those with high physique to learn.

"Refresh!"

The result was two purple and one orange. After reading the orange entry, Yun Shen discovered it couldn't be sublimated into a Legendary skill, so he chose to put this skill book into cold storage for now and bring it out again tomorrow.

As the saying goes, after being full and warm, one thinks of... equipment.

After everyone had filled their stomachs, Yun Shen took out all the equipment obtained from this trade and let everyone choose as they pleased.

Most of this equipment leaned towards ancient-style women's clothing and various ornaments, which delighted the Twelve Beauties of Jin Ling. They hugged the equipment and walked into the alloy safe house to change.

"Lord..."

Teacher Jiang Lan called out softly.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll build them now. I'm also a bit impatient."

Yun Shen understood Teacher Jiang Lan's thoughts; naturally, it was for those two exclusive buildings.

Since these were Teacher Jiang Lan's exclusive buildings, they didn't require blueprints to be constructed.

"Build [Profound Heaven Iron Maiden Production Line], build [Profound Heaven Research Institute]."

[You consumed Star Core (Legendary) ×1, Gold-Transforming Source Water (Legendary) ×100... 5000 Source Crystals, used to build Profound Heaven Iron Maiden Production Line (Epic).]

[Countdown: 4:23:59:59.] (Consume 5000 Source Crystals to complete instantly)

[You consumed Scientific Crystal (Legendary) ×1, Wisdom Key (Legendary) ×1... 10000 Source Crystals, used to build Research Institute (Legendary).]

[Countdown: 9:23:59:59.] (Consume 10000 Source Crystals to complete instantly)

"So expensive. Thankfully there's the Heavens Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, how long would it take to save up these materials?"

After Yun Shen sighed, he generously used Source Crystals to instantly complete these two buildings.

Otherwise, was he supposed to wait five or ten days?

Source Crystals are earned to be spent!

[You consumed 5000 Source Crystals to accelerate construction; Profound Heaven Iron Maiden Production Line (Epic) construction complete.]

[You consumed 10000 Source Crystals to accelerate construction; Profound Heaven Research Institute (Legendary) construction complete.]

The two exclusive buildings were built instantly, and Teacher Jiang Lan felt a deep sense of intimacy from them.

Not only because of the familiar architectural style, but also because these two buildings were her exclusive ones; no other lord in the entire Ten Thousand Races Battlefield could build them.

[Your hero Teacher Jiang Lan thanks you for building the Profound Heaven Research Institute; Favorability +4, current Favorability 99.]

Yun Shen's eyes lit up. There were so many happy events today; just one more push and he could get Teacher Jiang Lan's favorability to one hundred!

Then he could...
