Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 1829 - 1820: Is the Stone Tablet Malfunctioning?
"Damn! I want to report! This person is definitely cheating!"
"Exactly, how else could he have obtained so many Divine Crystals at once?"
"Could he be the son of a Daoist Master?"
Looking at Mo Wangchen, who ranked first on the top hundred list above the city, many couldn’t help but gossip.
They even started to feel unbalanced in their hearts.
A million Divine Crystals, how many Monster Beasts must one hunt to obtain that?
Yet others manage to get it in the blink of an eye.
"Guest, what else would you like to exchange?"
Compared to the unrest outside, at this moment within the Holy Tower, Li Can and Mo Wangchen, along with others, didn’t notice anything amiss.
After all, they were inside the Holy Tower, unable to see the stele in the sky.
"One Heavenly Crystal requires a thousand Divine Crystals for exchange..."
Mo Wangchen lowered his head in thought for a moment and then continued, "I want to exchange for three thousand pieces, is there so much stock in the Holy Tower?"
"Certainly, there are three thousand. If the guest wants... uh... three thousand pieces... one million... ten million..."
Initially, Li Can couldn’t react, but after calculating, he found that to exchange three thousand Heavenly Crystals would require a full three million Divine Crystals!
With such a quantity, throughout the entire Divine Domain, how many can bring that out?
"Are you sure you want to exchange three thousand pieces?" he asked uncertainly.
If Mo Wangchen brought out a Daoist Master Divine Technique to exchange for a million Divine Crystals, Li Can could somewhat imagine that, but now, wanting to use three million Divine Crystals to exchange for three thousand Heavenly Crystals is completely unbelievable.
"This..."
Not only Li Can, but also Jiang Wenyuan and Li Rao, who came along with Mo Wangchen, were surprised to the extreme.
Though they knew Mo Wangchen’s real identity and that he could bring out so many Divine Crystals, they had never thought he’d come to the Holy Tower not to exchange for Magical Treasures or Divine Arts, but just for Heavenly Crystals?
"Just exchange three thousand pieces, go handle it for me." Mo Wangchen nodded.
Such things as Heavenly Crystals, in the outside world, are not easily found. They can repair his injured Divine Sea, and Heavenly Crystals also greatly help cultivators in the Reverse Life Realm; they can be used during cultivation to absorb pure energy from the Heavenly Crystals to enhance one’s strength.
In this Divine Domain, filled with powerful cultivators and countless favored ones, Mo Wangchen realized that his strength was still too weak, and he must quickly improve his strength, with Heavenly Crystals providing the greatest assistance.
Three million Divine Crystals taken out at once would make even Mo Wangchen feel pained.
But thinking carefully, with the daily income from the cities of Canglong and Yunyi, plus Three-Colored Strange Flower, three million Divine Crystals can be amassed again soon.
While waiting in the rest area for a moment, Li Can returned once more, now holding a Crystal Ring, different from the ring that stored Divine Crystals; this was a Storage Ring.
"This Storage Ring has exactly three thousand Heavenly Crystals, please check, guest," Li Can said respectfully.
Mo Wangchen nodded, reached out to take the Storage Ring, probed inside with his Divine Thought, and after confirming no mistakes, finally stood up, leading Jiang Wenyuan and Li Rao out of the Holy Tower.
Meanwhile, within various cities of the Divine Domain once again grew chaotic.
"What’s going on? Didn’t Mo Wangchen just obtain a million Divine Crystals? Why has his name suddenly disappeared?"
"Did he battle someone and plundered a million Divine Crystals, then got intercepted, and the Divine Crystals fell into someone else’s hands?"
"Unlikely, if someone truly snatched the Divine Crystals from Mo Wangchen, they would’ve topped the list, but now the top position is replaced by the second name, with no sudden rise visible."
"Look, Mo Wangchen hasn’t dropped from the top hundred list; he’s seventh!" someone soon discovered and spoke.
Upon hearing, everyone quickly glanced at the stele and indeed saw Mo Wangchen in the seventh position.
"Ninety-three thousand one hundred seventy-six..."
This is Mo Wangchen’s current Divine Crystal count.
"What happened? Why did he suddenly lose three million Divine Crystals?"
"Could it be a malfunction with the stele?" someone couldn’t help but say.
Amidst the speculations happening in various places, Mo Wangchen naturally paid no mind, as even within the Holy City, people were watching changes on the top hundred list.
"Just going to the Holy Tower to exchange something caused such a stir; it seems I’ll have to keep a lower profile in the future."
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, ignoring the whispered discussions around him, and led Li Rao and Jiang Wenyuan towards the end of the street.
Li Rao and Jiang Wenyuan were speechless. They naturally heard Mo Wangchen’s words and couldn’t help but exchange glances, not knowing what to say.
"Have you heard? Mo Wangchen is now in our Holy City."
"Really? Could it just be someone with the same name? Not the one on the top hundred list?"
"It’s him; the rumor is that the one who killed Li Xuan and Xiao Ran in the Wind Devouring Forest. He’s been seen over at the Black Workshop, and something seems to have happened."
As they moved forward, such gossip wafted to their ears.
Nonetheless, Mo Wangchen didn’t pay attention; he turned to Jiang Wenyuan beside him, asking, "Is there a place to stay in this city?"
Jiang Wenyuan nodded, "Yes, there are, but available places are controlled by the four major forces; settling down requires a corresponding price, which is Divine Crystals. Ordinary spots need twenty Divine Crystals daily, better ones need over a hundred..."
"Divine Crystals aren’t a problem. Find me a courtyard, not too big, just enough for the three of us," Mo Wangchen said.
"Uh... am I included?" Jiang Wenyuan was surprised.
He was only meant to guide Mo Wangchen around the Holy City, considering he received payment from him.
Mo Wangchen nodded, "For now, stick by my side. I’m new to the Holy City and unaware of many things; you can help clarify them. Rest assured, I’ll give you ample reward daily."
Upon hearing, Jiang Wenyuan felt flattered and said, "Rewards don’t really matter; however much you give is fine. Frankly, not many know the layout better than me in this Holy City. Hehe... By the way, how much is the daily reward?"
