“Whoosh!”
David Jones only realized it seemed there was a flash before his eyes, and Jewel had crossed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, appearing before him nonchalantly.
“Trouble is here!”
Upon noticing Jewel’s interested gaze, David Jones maintained composure in his face, but his mind was somewhat tense.
King Level Experts can sense extraordinarily, which was why he didn’t appear before Jewel before, worrying his identity would be seen through by her.
Upon thinking of this, while observing shifts in Jewel’s expression, David Jones subtly rubbed the edge of his Star Ring with his thumb, where the communication stone left by Lolo was embedded.
David Jones had been studying Umbral laws these days to understand and know the law better to cope with the Umbral officials.
According to Article Twelve of the Umbral’s Gate City laws, Ghosts causing financial loss by disrupting shop order need to compensate three times the price, and those with serious offences should be imprisoned. Those with minor offences who reconcile with the shop owners aren’t counted.
If his identity is discovered by Jewel, David Jones can subdue her in the shortest amount of time and make her submit through Contract, minimizing the chaos caused during the fight.
Ghosts do not take any action unless the issue is important, they wouldn’t
bother to intervene in such minor matters.
“How much of Mermaid Tears do you want?”
Unaware of all this, Jewel, with a calm smile on her lips, ignored the Greenox nearby with blood and energy churning, its face slightly reddened and secretly gauging David Jones’ strength.
If he hasn’t used any ghost implement to hide his real power, David Jones’s strength was lower than she had expected; the aura emanating from his flesh only belonged to the Spirit Level of the Ghost Prince, which she can easily suppress.
The only thing less familiar to Jewel is that there was no trace of desire and adoration in David Jones’s gaze towards her unlike other men.
Clearly, her judgment before was not wrong; his Psychic cultivation was the same as hers, he was a force to be reckoned with.
However, having one’s Psychic cultivation far exceed the Body Cultivation is quite rare among the Ghosts who worship strength.
Jewel’s gaze lightly swept over David Jones’s smooth forehead.
-How much do you have?” David Jones’s tone started to become natural.
Why should he be nervous? The one who should be nervous is her.
With Lolo here, if he wished, Lolo who has reached the middle-level of the seventh stage could suppress or even annihilade the whole Suffering County in an instant, let alone subduing the newly promoted Ghost King right before him.
“It appears to be a big customer!” Hearing David Jones’s bold words, Jewel’s smile became even sweeter.
-Do you want the original or the finished jewelry? The Brightstar Mill treasury only has one True Love necklace on display, the price is relatively high, the original is cheaper, I happen to carry ten of them.”
“HOW many magic stones for all ten?” David Jones quirked an eyebrow. Smelling a new faint scent of medicinal fragrance in the room, Jewel looked at David Jones deeply and offered, “An S tier elixir, you can take away ten
Mermaid Tears.”
David’s gaze slightly deepened, he said coolly, “Mermaid Tears are just Spirit Level resources, no matter if it’s ten or a hundred, it’s not worth an S tier elixir.”
What a joke, David now had quite a few grade six mesona on him, but they were basically resources prepared in advance for Rainbow’s future Evolution, how could he possibly trade them out.
“Gentleman, this statement is not quite right!”
Jewel frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with David’s cold attitude, although she still explained with a smile, “The Mermaid Tears I carry with me are all quality treasures.
Furthermore, jewelry has a price, but true love is priceless. Mermaid Tears are the precious gems produced by our Mermaid race only when we encounter true love They only appear once in a lifetime, symbolizing the crystallization of love. It’s unfair to evaluate its value based on just the contain of the ghost force.”
“Speaking of which,” she hesitated slightly before tentatively asking, “Might it be that you’re a healer?”
“What makes you say that?” David Jones gave her a glance.
-Most healers carry a faint scent of herbs, and you have that same scent.” Jewel settled confidently on a chair nearby.
David Jones was silent for a moment, replying calmly, “This has nothing to do with our transaction.”
jewel waved her hand for the servants surrounding her to leave and then said with a smile, “It does have a connection. 1 wonder if you’ve ever heard of the ghost emperor elixir.”
“Ghost emperor elixer!!!”
On hearing this, Greenox’s entire countenance changed drastically, and his breathing became labored.
In comparison to the ghost emperor elixir, the glamorous and pretentious Mermaid Tears weren’t even worth mentioning.
As a breaking-through elixir that’s extremely popular in the Umbral Kingdom, the ghost emperor elixir could increase the advancement probability of a Ghost King Elite by a staggering 50%, allowing them to step into a royal realm and become a Ghost Emperor. It’s an external alchemy that Ghost King Level Experts only dream of.
However, this elixir, capable of driving King Level Experts utterly insane, did not induce any emotion on the calm face of David Jones, which, to Jewel’s surprise and apprehension, was unexpected.
“Can’t believe that even the ghost emperor elixir doesn’t impress this guy! Although David Jones didn’t know what the ghost emperor elixir was, he could more or less guess from Greenox’s abrupt change of mood.
“I have no interest in the ghost emperor elixir; let’s go back to talking about Mermaid Tears!”
David Jones took out an azure colored Azure Flower from the Star Ring and gently placed it on the table.
“The Azure Flower, a monarch-level elixir, when compounded with Emerald Sand can cure fire poison. I will trade this for ten Mermaid Tears, how does that sound?”
Jewel’s sweet cheeks slightly stiffened and then quickly relaxed.
She hadn’t expected the fire poison injury she’d been hiding with her breath control technique to be so easily seen through by the other party. Moreover, they found a cure in such a short time.
If the strong one before her weren’t a high-level healer, Jewel would be the first one not to believe it.
??Alright, since you are willing to help me treat my condition, business is unimportant, let’s consider this as making a new friend.
jewel took out a jade box from her sleeve, opened it, and then pushed the box, filled with Mermaid Tears, towards David Jones.
[Mermaid Tears]: Level VI life-type pet resource. It is said that when a mermaid’s tear is combined with the World Water produced by Yggdrasil, it activates its inherent spirituality, allowing the consumer to become virtually immortal, with an almost endless lifespan.
[Quality]: S tier
Note: Consuming Mermaid Tears alone will not prolong life. They need to be activated by special medicinal herbs or Mystic Arts. Otherwise, it’s just a beautiful pearl.
“I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long.”
David Jones picked up the jade box and got up to leave, apparently not wanting to interact with the well-known beauty of the city.
Watching David Jones’ receding figure, Jewel’s eyes gradually sharpened.
“Such a pity he didn’t take the bait, the soul of a high-level healer should have satisfied the master.”
She looked down at the Azure Flower in her palm, still wet with some dew, her face revealing a moment of hesitation, which was soon replaced by resolve.
-There’s no choice, there are only three days left before the deadline set by the master, now is not the time for hesitation!”
