Chapter 698: Treasure That Can’t Be Bought

An Lin’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.

This was simply a facet of human nature. Once someone became extremely rich and could easily obtain an item with their wealth, those items would no longer be that valuable and attractive to them.

At times like this, they would turn their attention to things that couldn’t be bought with money.

Like love.

Or like some exotic memorabilia, or some items that bore historical importance.

There were items in the cultivating world that were priceless or could not be bought with spirit stones.

For example, divine-rank items.

Divine medicine, divine pills, divine tools… and so on and so forth.

Or for example, some special artifacts that couldn’t be categorized into any ranks.

Items like the Vermilion Bird Origin Treasures were examples of this. These were treasures crafted by exceptional mighty figures and could already summon the powers of laws. Treasures like these were obviously extremely valuable and could only be encountered through luck.

Even though the Vermilion Bird Mirror had a very bad temper and often carried barbs in its words, the one hundred percent attack reflection ability was still very practical and useful in a battle.

“Let me think. I don’t lack any offensive artifacts, and since my divine body is so powerful already, there isn’t much need for defensive artifacts either…”

An expression of deep thought appeared on An Lin’s face as he struggled to decide what he actually needed.

Lin Junjun’s rage continued to build as she glowered at An Lin. “Heh, if you’re so strong, why don’t you go defy the heavens? You’re invincible anyway, so why don’t we just give you a trophy to commend your invincibility!”

An Lin couldn’t be bothered responding to her insults. He was seriously at a loss for what he wanted.

He hesitated momentarily before proposing, “How about… we schedule a meeting for another day?”

Lin Junjun: “…”

She was finding it really difficult to suppress her rage now.

“Er, don’t get swept up by your emotions! How about this? Tell me what you can give me.” An Lin didn’t know what to do anymore, so he decided to give Lin Junjun the initiative.

Lin Junjun pondered the notion for a while before replying, “The treasures that I can think of and would match your requirements are usually found in the treasure pagodas of the five imperial palaces. Even if they can be exchanged, it would have to be under the agreement of the emperors. How about I tell you about the items in the treasure pagodas that are most likely to be swapped, and you can tell me which one you need?”

An Lin nodded upon hearing this.

“The first item is the Thousand Possibility Box of the Celestial Thearch Pavilion. It requires vital energy to charge, and in a battle, the Thousand Possibility Box can be activated to unleash spell techniques, the types of which correspond to the power of its user.

“Its power varies, and when it’s at its most powerful, it can unleash more power than even what its owner is capable of, but when it’s weak, it’s also very weak. This is a treasure in my father’s collection, and there would be quite a good chance that he would give it to me if I asked for it!”

A slight smile appeared on Lin Junjun’s face as she spoke.

An Lin had to admit; this first treasure was already quite tempting to him.

The Thousand Possibility Box sounded really fun!

Lin Junjun continued, “The second item is the Morning Light Umbrella from the Ziwei Pavilion, activation of which would unleash bizarre illusions which could prove to be decisive in battles.

“As long as the strength of one’s consciousness is sufficient, a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator can even trap a Soul Formation Stage cultivator in an illusionary realm while Soul Formation Stage cultivators can inflict a moment of disorientation upon Return to Void Stage mighty figures. If a Return to Void Stage mighty figure was to use it, then cultivators of the same cultivation base would definitely fall into the illusionary realm.”

An Lin was quite excited. This item would allow him to challenge cultivators of far superior cultivation bases to his own!

“The third item is the Divine Lightning Clock of the Tian Huang Pavilion, activation of which can unleash extremely powerful lightning techniques. The Divine Lightning Clock is also imbued with the true intent of lightning and can benefit lightning-type cultivators by enhancing the power of their lightning techniques, as well as provide a source of enlightenment to further their progress in the dao of lightning.

“Apparently, it is one of the important treasures owned by Emperor Tian Huang to help him observe his dao, so I’m not sure if he would be willing to give it up.” Lin Junjun was a little hesitant as she spoke about this item.

“That’s alright, I’m not interested in lightning.” An Lin waved a hand. His lightning techniques were like hacks already, so he really didn’t care for some Divine Lightning Clock.

Lin Junjun’s words faltered, and she took a deep breath before speaking again, “The fourth item is the Ninety-Nine-Fold Extreme Heavenly Formation Disk from the Chang Sheng Pavilion. The formation disk is imbued with the power of heaven and earth, and as long as there is enough energy, it can support a defensive formation that’s able to keep even attacks from Dao Integration Stage mighty figures at bay…”

A scorching light burst forth from An Lin’s eyes upon hearing this.

He wanted to establish a sect, so a defensive spell formation was going to be mandatory. This formation disk would be absolutely perfect!

As expected of the human piggy bank!

Lin Junjun tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears as she looked at An Lin’s eager expression with a hint of a smile on her face. “The only thing is… that item has an extremely hefty price and is actually not on sale. Even if I request to purchase it in the name of the Heavenly Court and offer the entirety of my forty million spirit stones, Emperor Chang Sheng might still not agree to sell it to me. If you really want it, you might have to fork out an extra ten million spirit stones.”

“Money is not a problem.” Filthy Rich An waved a hand through the air in a grand gesture.

What followed was a few seconds of silence.

An Lin blinked in confusion. “Is that it?”

“Yes! All the rest of the treasures are things like divine pills and divine tools, which are kept in the collections of super mighty figures. None of them would be willing to part with those items. There hasn’t ever been an item like that sold in history, and even if they were to be sold, the asking price would not be below a hundred million spirit stones, so you can give up on the idea!” Lin Junjun snapped as she rolled her eyes.

An Lin fell silent upon hearing this.

Aside from the Divine Lightning Clock, all of those items were quite attractive to him…

Lin Junjun was in no hurry, and she supported her chin in her hands as she looked at the man suffering from anxiety with relish.

“Er…” An Lin pondered for a long while before asking with a serious expression, “I want both the Ninety-Nine-Fold Extreme Heavenly Formation Disk and the Thousand Possibility Box. Is that ok? I can throw in more money.”

Lin Junjun took a deep breath as she glowered at An Lin. “Do you realize what you’re asking? I have to go around exchanging favors and begging these people just so that they can agree to exchange their treasures for spirit stones. You can’t just request for as many as you want!”

An Lin argued in a slow and methodical voice, “It’s not like that. Think about it. You’ll be exchanging favors when you ask Emperor Chang Sheng for the Ninety-Nine-Fold Extreme Heavenly Formation Disk. However, the Thousand Possibility Box belongs to the Celestial Thearch, which means it’s our stuff. There’s no need to exchange favors for that, we can just exchange for it if the price is right!”

“That makes sense, actually. It’s all our stuff anyway…”

Lin Junjun nodded as her expression eased.

“Wait!” She suddenly came to a realization, and she slammed a palm onto the table before glowering at An Lin. “This is not OUR stuff! It belongs to MY family! Don’t try to put words into my mouth!”

An Lin: “…”

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

“Then I’m not selling my information,” An Lin said.

Lin Junjun: “…”
