Chapter 2844
“Mr. Chen, I heard you clinched first place in the competition, is that true?”
Big Jay exclaimed with excitement!
Kai nodded, responding, “I didn’t expect you all to be so well-informed.”
“Mr. Chen, with this victory, you must have gained a lot of resources. I wonder if the three of us brothers…”
Er Jie shot a playful grin at Kai!
“Don’t worry! As long as you stick with me, you’ll enjoy nine meals in just three days.”
Kai gave Er Jie a friendly pat on the shoulder!
“I told you, Mr. Chen won’t abandon us! From now on, we’ll follow Mr. Chen to the very end!”
Three Jie chimed in enthusiastically!
After all, being with Kai was certainly better than their previous mischief!
“Alright, we’re leaving Jialing County, so you all better pack your things!”
Kai instructed the Three Monstrous Thieves!
“Mr. Chen, where are we headed? Back to the Jade Tripod Sect?”
“I heard that there’s a treasure set to appear north of Jialing County. Why don’t we go and search for it?”
Da Jie spoke up to Kai!
When Kai heard this, he was taken aback and asked, “Treasure? What kind of treasure? How did you find out?”
Kai had never shared anything about the treasure he was after; only the county princess of Jialing was aware of it, and he trusted she wouldn’t leak that information!
However, Da Jie seemed to know about this treasure. Kai just wasn’t sure if it was the same treasure he was seeking!
“A lot of people are talking about it. There’s a guy named Watt who claims to have the treasure map and is selling it!”
“Many people here in the outer city have purchased that guy’s treasure map, and I’ve heard it’s not cheap!”
Big Jay added!
“Indeed, it’s pricey! This Watt claims to be some sort of Ancient Alchemy practitioner, and that the treasure belongs to their Ancient Alchemy clan, which has owned it for years!”
“The only catch is that the treasure map he possesses is flawed and doesn’t pinpoint the exact location of the treasure!”
“Even so, tons of people are rushing to buy it, and he’s already made a small fortune!”
Er Jie said, his tone laced with envy!
“Watt, watt jar?” Kai frowned slightly!
He wasn’t quite sure about the connection between this Watt and Wajang, nor how another ancient body refining cultivator had appeared!
“Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? This guy’s name is Watt, not Wajang!”
Da Jie clarified for Kai!
“Oh, you guys should take me to meet this Watt right now.”
Kai requested!
He wanted to discover who this Watt really was, how he had obtained the treasure map, and whether he truly was an ancient body refining cultivator!
“Mr. Chen, I advise against it. This guy seems shady. His treasure map is priced at 100 million spirit coins, and just to join the queue, you need to pay an initiation fee of 10 million!”
Big Jay cautioned Kai against visiting Watt!
“100 million spirit coins? Is this guy out of his mind?”
Liu Ruyan gasped upon hearing the amount!
A treasure map of questionable authenticity, and one that was incomplete, could actually fetch a price of 100 million spirit coins!
And it was clear that this guy had likely made several copies, selling them to multiple people!
It seemed that this fellow had indeed hit the jackpot!
“The more news like this spreads, the more we need to check it out. If he can sell it for such a high price, the treasure map must have some level of authenticity!”
Kai asserted!
“Kai, but we don’t have 100 million spirit coins either, do we? All the resources were taken by the Third Elder!”
Liu Ruyan pointed out!
Kai smiled gently, “Don’t worry, we’ll have all the money we need. I’m sure if I ask the people of Jialing County, they’ll provide it!”
Kai was determined to gather the funds necessary to procure the Ice Pill for the Lord of Jialing County, and he believed the lord would assist him!
Moreover, 100 million spirit coins was a minor amount for the county of Jialing!
