The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Tan Yun saw that he had already sparked everyone’s desire for wealth and treasure, so he smiled with satisfaction and quickly announced: “Fellow disciples, I currently have the following Wind Soul Springs here: 118 Low-grade, 56 Medium-grade, 29 High-grade, and 11 Supreme-grade.” Before he could finish speaking, shouts erupted from hundreds of male and female disciples from the Wind and Thunder lineages: “Wind Soul Spring! She stared directly at Tan Yun and said: “This is a Low-grade Spirit Fire...
Tan Yun saw that he had already sparked everyone’s desire for wealth and treasure, so he smiled with satisfaction and quickly announced:
“Fellow disciples, I currently have the following Wind Soul Springs here: 118 Low-grade, 56 Medium-grade, 29 High-grade, and 11 Supreme-grade.”
Before he could finish speaking, shouts erupted from hundreds of male and female disciples from the Wind and Thunder lineages:
“Wind Soul Spring! I want to trade!”
“I want it too! I have Spark of Life to offer in exchange!”
“I have one as well…”
The cheers and shouts from over 100 disciples caused disciples from other sects to become displeased and start protesting:
“Why are you shouting so much! Do you think only disciples from Wind and Thunder lineages exist here?”
“Yes! Everyone, quiet down!”
“…”
Tan Yun surveyed the crowd, relaxed his hands, and spoke politely:
“Fellow disciples, please do not cause a commotion. After I finish announcing the details of all the Soul Springs, we will begin the exchange officially.”
Gradually, everyone calmed down. Each word from Tan Yun reached them profoundly.
“In addition to the Wind Soul Springs, I also have Ancient Soul Springs: 324 Low-grade, 143 Medium-grade, 55 High-grade, and 16 Supreme-grade.”
“Bright Soul Springs: 177 Low-grade, 89 Medium-grade, 48 High-grade, and 10 Supreme-grade.”
“Time Soul Springs: 213 Low-grade, 114 Medium-grade, 71 High-grade, and 15 Supreme-grade.”
The moment Tan Yun finished speaking, the crowd of over 1,000 people erupted in unified cheers:
“Damn! Really? Where did you get so many?”
“Yes! Looking at your possessions, you must be a servant disciple mining Spirit Ore, right? How did you manage to gather so many Soul Springs?”
“…”
Amidst the astonishment and exclamations of the crowd, Tan Yun did not admit to being a servant disciple mining Spirit Ore. Instead, he answered calmly:
“A servant disciple like me could not possibly have so many Soul Springs. Actually, a senior brother gave them to me to help trade and sell these Soul Springs.”
“But that senior brother instructed me not to reveal his name.”
Everyone finally understood. Of course—a servant disciple could never accumulate so many Soul Springs. This was clearly a miracle.
Tan Yun continued:
“I still need to process these Soul Springs and report to my senior brother. Time is important, so please, fellow holders of Fire Seeds, line up to trade first.”
Soon, six women and five men stepped out from the crowd and formed a line.
At the front was a female disciple of the Dan lineage. She raised her hand, her right hand emitting a cold blue flame about one foot high.
She stared directly at Tan Yun and said:
“This is a Low-grade Spirit Fire Seed: Blue Ice Frost Flame, valued at over 5,000,000 low-grade spirit stones.”
“Brother, your Wind Soul Springs are worth 300,000 low-grade spirit stones for Low-grade, 600,000 for Medium-grade, 900,000 for High-grade, and 1,300,000 low-grade for Supreme-grade Wind Soul Springs.”
“I will exchange 4 Supreme-grade Wind Soul Springs for the Blue Ice Frost Flame.”
Since Fire Seeds are comparable in value to magical weapons above the Spirit Rank—Treasure Rank, Sub-Venerable Rank, Venerable Rank, Sub-Saint Rank, Saint Rank…
Tan Yun stared at the cold blue flame, trying to contain his excitement. His Qiankun Ring glowed, and the 4 Supreme-grade Wind Soul Springs appeared before the female disciple.
He carefully examined the Soul Springs:
Medium-grade Soul Springs clearly contained solid particles inside.
High-grade Soul Springs contained a liquid core that visibly represented spiritual power.
Supreme-grade Soul Springs contained a floating soul thread inside.
The female disciple of the Danmai Sect immediately recognized that the 4 Wind Soul Springs before her were genuine Supreme-grade items.
She raised her hand, and the soul threads of the Supreme Wind Soul Springs floated into the sky before being absorbed into her Qiankun Ring.
“Brother, be careful. My Blue Ice Frost Flame is extremely cold,” she said, handing the Fire Seed to Tan Yun.
Tan Yun received it without changing expression, thanked her politely, then examined it as if assessing quality before placing it in his Qiankun Ring.
“Or perhaps you know how to analyze Fire Seeds too?” the female disciple asked with interest and excitement, certainly with hidden intentions.
“I know a little,” Tan Yun replied.
She nodded and smiled. “Brother, I saw you said that if Spirit Stones are used to buy Soul Springs, one must pay double the market price. Can I make it triple instead? I want to buy a little more.”
Before Tan Yun could respond, most of the disciples behind her flushed red.
“What’s going on? Did you see something?”
“See that Fire Seeds must be traded first, and only then Soul Springs; finally, Spirit Stones can be used.”
“Yes! Move aside quickly!”
“…”
The female disciple glared at everyone, then looked at Tan Yun with a gentle expression.
“Sorry, senior sister. People without discipline cannot stand here. I cannot allow this request.”
Tan Yun politely declined. “If you have other Fire Seeds, please line up so that the disciples behind you can trade first.”
“Understood. I’ll come back after purchasing the Fire Seed,” she said, then vanished into one of the shops.
Afterward, each disciple gradually offered their Fire Seeds to Tan Yun in exchange for the Soul Springs they wanted.
Some traded unwanted Fire Seeds for Soul Springs to pass to allies, while others used them to build relationships with others.
In the end, Tan Yun received a total of 6 Cold-element Fire Seeds and 5 Fire-element Fire Seeds. Even though they were only Spirit Rank, they were sufficient to allow his Primordial Ice Flame and Primordial Fire Flame to develop.
Within half an hour, he exchanged:
Beast Soul Springs: 6 Supreme-grade, 3 High-grade, 60 Low-grade
Death Soul Springs: 7 Supreme-grade, 5 Medium-grade, 80 Low-grade
These were prepared to be sent to Mu Mengyi.
Spatial Soul Springs: 8 Supreme-grade, 2 High-grade, 20 Medium-grade, 71 Low-grade
These were prepared for Zhongwu Shiyao.
Finally, he sold the remaining over 900 Soul Springs at double the market price, and the disciples watching all crowded to buy them.
The total income from this was 4,600,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones.
Previously, selling spiritual items on the external sect arena stage had earned 1,480,000 high-grade Spirit Stones.
After killing the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Elders, Ninth Elder, and Tenth Elder, Tan Yun currently possessed:
19 top-grade Spirit Stones
3,700,000 high-grade Spirit Stones
4,700,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones
Later, Tan Yun checked his Qiankun Ring and found the Qiankun Rings of Li Zian and the 5 masked disciples of the Holy Soul lineage. Inside, he found:
36 top-grade Spirit Stones
180,000 high-grade Spirit Stones
910,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones
With such a massive accumulated fortune, Tan Yun smiled with satisfaction. He packed up his banner, jumped onto his flying sword, and vanished from the sight of the crowd.
But just a few hundred feet above the ground, he felt dozens of spiritual senses intensely watching him.
