The Legend of Futian

Chapter 1887 Gift?

After obtaining the Zimu Yuanyang Mirror, Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan used their divine consciousness to refine them on the spot. For an item that was so valuable, they naturally had to check it out on the spot. As expected, there was nothing wrong with it. After that, they put them away.

Emperor Helian and the others looked at the two of them with a long and meaningful look. That definitely confirmed the relationship between the two.

Apart from that, in their eyes, Ye Futian had become an unpredictable presence.

A ninth order Renhuang ritual implement—something that would typically be regarded as their family treasures—was actually used by Ye Futian to exchange for the Zimu Yuanyang mirror.

With that, could they make the deduction that, to Ye Futian, the ninth order Renhuang ritual implement was worth less than the Zimu Yuanyang mirror? Then, he was definitely carrying other ritual implements of the same level as him.

Ye Futian had become even more mysterious in their eyes.

Yang Dongqing glanced thoughtfully at Ye Futian. He was surprised that Ye Futian was actually that rich.

Many around them also looked at Ye Futian. They had seen the trade that had just taken place earlier. Many people wondered about Ye Futian’s identity. After all, a person who could so easily bring out a ninth order ritual implement could not be a simple person.

"Young one, do you want to come over here and take a look?" Before Ye Futian left the stall to continue his journey, someone called to him.

"No need," Ye Futian replied with a gentle smile. Then, he continued moving toward Deity Lake.

Beams of light exuded from multiple locations in front of them. These were the Divine Light of the Great Path that came from treasures themselves, and they made the pavilion even more magnificent. It was like a dreamland. Ye Futian scanned the area and could see that the place was filled with dazzling treasures, and it was impossible to take in everything all at once.

Then, at that moment, Ye Futian saw a familiar face. "Hmm?" An old man sat there, drinking alcohol from a gourd. A surprised and somewhat curious expression appeared on Ye Futian’s face.

The old man he encountered when entering the Penglai Continent earlier had actually arrived faster than him. Moreover, he had already set up a stall within this Penglai Deity Lake.

However, what was made Ye Futian speechless was one of the items set up for trade in front of his stall. It was the Eastern Deity Token.

"Young friend, we meet again," said the old man with a chuckle as he looked at Ye Futian.

"How do you do, dear elder?" Ye Futian replied with a gentle smile.

"I heard that you came here without an invite. If you want to head to the Eastern Deity Island, you will definitely need an Eastern Deity Token. Do you want one, my dear young friend? I can definitely lower the price for you since we are acquaintances after all." The old man’s smile was so wide that his eyes turned into a slit. It gave a sense that he was a very shrewd character.

"There is no need. While this young one is interested, I am unable to provide you with an item that is of an equivalent value," Ye Futian declined his offer with a smile. The two of them went back and forth courteously but without sincerity. All who saw their exchange on the side could easily tell that it was very fake.

"That is alright." The old man did not mind. Then, he said, "You are also an interesting and powerful character; we might have an opportunity to meet again in the future."

"I look forward to it," replied Ye Futian. After that, he walked away from the old man. Shortly after Ye Futian walked away, a group of people stopped in front of the old man’s stall. The one who led the group was a handsome young man with an exceptional aura. He directly purchased the Eastern Deity Token from the old man.

As the young man prepared to leave, the old man laughed and said, "It is easy to tell that you are a rich person. You have an exceptional aura. I am sure you also have a not-so-normal family background, am I right?"

"I am but a practitioner. What is the point of talking about one’s family background?" The young man replied with a gentle smile.

"True." The old man nodded. "But I have another Eastern Deity Token with me. Do you want to buy it as well?"

"..."

The young man who was just about to leave suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at the old man, sizing him up seriously. The old man only smiled, squinting his eyes in the process. It made it feel like he was very cunning.

This old man looked harmless; however, he was actually a hunter.

A hunter hunts. Clearly, the old man definitely had more than two Eastern Deity Tokens with him. The implications of this... Who would not understand?

Even Ye Futian, who had already left the stall, stopped his footsteps and turned around. He looked at the old man and suddenly remembered that the old man asked if he had the Eastern Deity Token when he was entering the Penglai Continent back then. It seemed like his objectives were not that simple. This old man was definitely a ruthless character...

"Elder Thousand Phantasms?" The young man shouted with a laugh after staring at the old man for some time. In that instant, everyone around the area seemed to have been stunned for a bit. Their gazes shifted towards them.

So, it was him.

Old Man Thousand Phantasms. Also known as Holy Hand Thousand Phantasms.

This man could change in tens of thousands of ways and was thus nicknamed Thousand Phantasms. It was not his real name. As for "Holy Hands," it was also a title given by the people in the cultivation world. Since this old man was an infamous thief, he was coined the title "Holy Hands." As for his methods of stealing, they were considered perfect or, better yet, miraculous.

However, his reputation was not as bad as one would imagine. The reason was that even though Holy Hand Thousand Phantasms was a thief, he never hurt anyone. He thieved but with principles that he adhered to strictly. He was an oddball who mingled in the "cultivation world" for many years, to the point where many top figures in many continents had experienced his specialty before... As such, his reputation was not minor; in fact, one could even say he was extremely well-known.

"Young Master Jun most certainly has a good eye," said the old man with a laugh. His words directly exposed the identity of the young man. In that instant, many of the people around the area were momentarily stunned again. Most of the practitioners who entered the Penglai Deity Region came from different continents and thus were not only not well-acquainted with each other, so they could be said to not know each other at all.

However, with regard to the top factions on Penglai Deity Island, they knew it well. Since they came to the island, they naturally came prepared.

There was a particular clan that one needed to know if one were to arrive at Penglai Deity Island, and it was "Jun." It was a very powerful clan name. The cultivators of the Jun clan had long established themselves as one of the top factions of this continent. They completely dominated the Penglai Continent and were capable of influencing the other top clans within the Penglai Continent.

The young man’s family name was Jun. Looking at his followers, it was not that hard to guess his identity. After all, among the top factions on the Penglai Continent, there was only one that had the family name Jun. It was easy to associate them together.

So, looking at the young man’s identity and age, it was highly likely that he was the young master of the Jun clan, Jun Qiuyan.

Many people looked over at them with excitement. The Jun Clan was extremely influential in this Penglai Deity Lake area as well. They were one of the factions that controlled the area behind the scenes. Jun Qiuyand and Holy Hand Thousand Phantasms appearing in this location at the same time... The Penglai Deity Lake definitely lived up to its name of being a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

"How many Eastern Deity Tokens do Mr. Thousand Phantasms have? Why don’t you just bring them all out and give me a price? I have some resources with me, and I’d like to help Mr. Thousand Phantasms get rid of a few of them," Jun Qiuyan understood clearly that there was no way that his counterpart would only have one Eastern Deity Tokens on him after learning of his identity.

Who was Holy Hand Thousand Phantasms? He’d be ruining his reputation if he did not have at least ten Eastern Deity Tokens on him.

The old man smiled after hearing Jun Qiuyan’s offer. He put his hands into his pocket and brought out a bunch of Eastern Deity Tokens. It was not a lot, but it was definitely not a few either—just ten tokens.

The cultivators in the surrounding area stared with their eyes wide open. This old bastard was certainly very ruthless.

"Since Young Master Jun said so, I will be straight and give you my price," Holy Hand Thousand Phantasms said to Jun Qiuyan. Then, he mentioned the offer to Jun Qiuyan through voice transmission. After hearing his price, Jun Qiuyan’s expression changed. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the conditions of the opposing side.

"Dear elder, it is not easy to purchase so many Eastern Deity Tokens in bulk. Elder, your conditions have actually become more demanding when you are selling them in a bulk of ten. This is rather confusing for this young one," Jun Qiuyan said.

"That is fine. A trade requires consent from both sides, after all. If the young master is not okay with it, it is natural that someone else will take it. This old man can wait a while. I heard that recently, the other top factions on the Penglai Continent are also looking for the Eastern Deity Token. I will ask them later." The old man’s eyes squinted into a slit.

His words made Jun Qiuyan’s pupils dilate. His gaze fixed on the old man. This old man... Did he hear something? he thought.

Naturally, what Jun Qiuyan said earlier was not true. The reason he was collecting those Eastern Deity Tokens was not to help the old man get rid of them. He had his personal uses for them. If the old man actually sold them to the other factions on the Penglai Continent, it would be quite troublesome.

"Fine. I will take them all." Jun Qiuyan nodded and decisively agreed to the old man’s demands. After that, he actually made that ridiculously huge payment.

That scene made many around the area think. What did it mean for the future?

Ye Futian watched for a while before returning to search for the item he needed. He still had not found an item that he wanted. However, he saw a flower. It was a flower that was sealed in darkness. The flower kept opening and closing its petals, and the petals looked as if it was a face, and when it opened, it seemed as if it was going to devour people.

"What is this?" Ye Futian asked.

"Hell’s Lotus," the owner of the stall replied. "It has a powerful death aura and is extremely dangerous. It is a high-class Hell’s Lotus. Even high order Renhuang can use it to help their cultivation."

"Price?" Ye Futian asked.

"One Eighth Order ritual implement." The owner replied as he looked at Ye Futian. He was very direct.

Ye Futian looked at Xia Qingyuan and said, "You cultivate the way of Life and Death. This can be used to help your cultivation. Refine it."

"Okay," Xia Qingyuan nodded. She did not decline. She felt a warmth in her heart. The two items that Ye Futian traded were for her.

Then, at that time, a voice appeared. Jun Qiuyan looked at the stall owner with a gentle smile and asked, "Could you leave this treasure to me?"

Ye Futian squinted slightly after hearing his question. He turned around to look at Jun Qiuyan. However, Jun Qiuyan did not look at him; instead, he was still looking at the stall owner with a smile on his face.

"Since young master Jun asked, there is naturally no problem." The stall owner was also a practitioner from the Penglai Continent.

"Alright," Jun Qiuyan paid with a ritual implement directly and went to get his item. Ye Futian said indifferently, "Could I ask what your intention is?"

Jun Qiuyan received the treasure and turned around. He faced Ye Futian and took his question with a smile. Then, he passed the treasure to Ye Futian and said, "Consider this my gift to you. Let’s be friends."

"Friends?" Ye Futian was slightly stunned. He was surprised. However, the guy bought an item and gifted it to him. Unfortunately, this likely meant that his true objective was not simple.

"Yes." Jun Qiuyan nodded. "There are only a few days left before the Eastern Deity Island opens. By then, who knows how many genius and monsters will step onto the island. I saw that you have an exceptional aura, and I believe that you are not some common folk. So, I would like to ask if you would accompany me after we get onto the Eastern Deity Island?"

Ye Futian finally understood after hearing Jun Qiuyan’s proposal. So, he bought and gifted this treasure to him to buy him out.

So that he, after entering the Eastern Deity Island, would follow him. This also meant that, after they got on the Eastern Deity Island, he would have to follow Jun Qiuyan!
