Chapter 994 A Distant Journey to Deliver Jade
"I see, that's truly remarkable."
Tang Lan understood and nodded with a smile.
The middle-aged man beside him seemed to have noticed something, so he tentatively asked, "Young man, you wouldn't happen to be thinking of going out to sea, would you?"
"This is really dangerous. Although there are many experts on the Liangzhou, it is still extremely dangerous to go out."
"There have been many instances of shipwrecks and loss of life within the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce."
The middle-aged man offered words of earnest advice and comfort.
In his view, Tang Lan was just a hot-blooded young man who would probably regret going there soon.
"Don't worry, brother. I know what I'm doing. This is just a small token of my appreciation, so please don't refuse it."
Tang Lan casually took out a small bag of gold soul coins and stuffed it into the man's hand. After saying that, she turned and left, completely ignoring the middle-aged man's shouts.
He was able to describe the situation to Tang Lan in such detail that he was naturally entitled to a reward.
Tang Lan pushed through the crowd to the front of the stall, picked up one of the invitations, and smiled, "If it's just one person, could you give me a discount?"
"Huh! Huh? You, you're going out to sea?"
The young man behind the stall was caught off guard when Tang Lan suddenly stepped forward.
"Well, if I weren't going out to sea, why would I be here? Name your price!"
Tang Lan nodded and said frankly.
The old man who had been reclining in a chair, seemingly oblivious to the world, suddenly opened his eyes, stopped what he was doing, and quietly began to scrutinize Tang Lan.
The young man looked at the old man and asked with a hint of apology, "Elder, what do you think of this?"
"If you really want to go to sea, you can give us 80,000 gold soul coins, and we'll waive the remaining 8,888. What do you say?"
The old man looked at Tang Lan with a kind smile on his face, a stark contrast to his previous leisurely demeanor.
But Tang Lan could tell that this guy was also wearing a fake smile, and he probably said those words to countless people.
However, Tang Lan simply held up five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand gold soul coins!"
"What? Fifty thousand? Young man, do you even know how much manpower and resources my Liangzhou has mobilized this time?"
"Fifty thousand gold soul coins aren't enough to cover our operating costs; I can only give you seventy-five thousand!"
Upon hearing Tang Lan's offer, the old man's eyes widened, and he replied somewhat indignantly.
However, Tang Lan still shook her head, and finally said, "Sixty thousand, that's all. If you don't agree, then I'm leaving!"
"I see there seems to be another one across the street. I'll go ask at the other places!"
Tang Lan turned and left as she spoke.
However, the old man quickly stopped him, and the guy's face was once again filled with a smile:
"Young man, my Liangzhou is teeming with experts; you won't regret coming here!"
"Old Gao's ship has a Title Douluo on board, so its security is nowhere near as good as our Liangzhou. Although it's a bit more expensive, it's safer."
"Old man, I find you quite pleasing to the eye. Let's stop arguing about the price. How about I give you 65,000?"
"If you still won't agree to this, then this old man really has no other choice!"
The white-haired old man spoke to Tang Lan with a look of utter conclusiveness.
"Alright then, here are six gold soul stones. Their quality is definitely high enough, even exceeding 65,000 gold."
As Tang Lan spoke, she tossed a bag to the old man.
The old man hurriedly took it, and when he saw the six gold soul stones inside the bag, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.
The value of six gold soul stones is far greater than that of 65,000 gold soul coins.
Golden Soul Stones are extremely rare in the Soul World, and can even be used as cultivation stones for cultivation purposes.
It is the direct currency for trading rare items.
In contrast, Gold Soul Coins are made from Gold Soul Stones and other rare metals, and their value cannot be compared with that of Gold Soul Stones.
However, when the onlookers looked at Tang Lan's death again, they all saw Tang Lan as a great victim of injustice.
Some even lamented that Tang Lan was spending money to throw her life away.
"May I ask your name, young man? My name is Huang Yuan, and this is your invitation!"
"You can board the ship in three days with this invitation!"
"This is a small token of our appreciation from Liangzhou, as a keepsake for you."
The old man smiled and handed two items to Tang Lan, one of which was an invitation to the Liangzhou.
The other item was an irregular gray stone.
But when Tang Lan held it in her hand, she discovered that the stone was unusual.
The latest novel is first published here!
The surrounding spiritual energy was slowly approaching him.
This thing actually has the same effect as the Soul Gathering Stone, but the effect is significantly reduced.
Clearly, the stone in Tang Lan's hand was not a high-grade item, but the fact that it was given as a gift to a guest shows that Liangzhou Ship Company was quite generous.
If this were outside, a stone like this could probably fetch up to 20,000 yuan at auction.
Seemingly sensing Tang Lan's thoughts, Huang Yuan said, "We found this stone on the seabed near the Sea of Death. The high-quality ones are almost indistinguishable from spirit-gathering stones."
"We roughly categorize quality into four grades: low, medium, high, and top grade."
"The piece you have in your hand is just a low-grade leyline crystal, but it's one of the best among the low-grade ones."
"Thank you! I'll be there in three days."
Tang Lan nodded, then turned and left after saying those words.
Besides heading to the Land of Death, Tang Lan has another mission this time.
That is to go to the Knight Academy and find an eighth-tier Soul Master named Jona, and give her the magatama that Dingdel entrusted to him.
Tyndall's answer was simple: once Jona saw the magatama, she would be willing to go to Shrek Academy.
Currently, Shrek Academy is most lacking in high-level Soul Masters.
Unexpectedly, this guy has only been at Shrek Academy for a short time, yet he has already begun to help Shrek Academy gather talent, and even went to great lengths to poach people from other academies.
To express his gratitude, Nadingel also gave Tang Lan a bamboo joint.
The bamboo joints are light gold in color, and according to Dingdel, this thing is called Dragon Soul Bamboo.
It is said that a real dragon fell in that bamboo forest a long time ago, and its dragon soul merged with the surrounding bamboo forest, thus forming the so-called Dragon Soul Bamboo.
This material is not only excellent for forging weapons, but also a natural treasure.
If placed in Tang Lan's hands, it could even awaken the dragon soul's spirituality within, allowing it to fight alongside him in clan wars. There are even more wondrous uses waiting for Tang Lan to discover.
Tang Lan rented a carriage with the bloodline of a unicorn dragon horse in Radiant Harbor, and then headed straight for Holy Flame City next to Golden Radiance Harbor.
One day later,
At the gates of Holy Flame City, a group of guards clad in silver armor frequently appeared inside and outside the city to conduct rigorous patrols.
After a brief inspection, Tang Lan entered the city and, after asking around, finally arrived at the Knight Academy.
"Senior, is Academician Jona located within the academy?" (End of Chapter)
