Chapter 286: Just Left
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After a moment, a man in a black robe with a silver-trimmed collar walked in.
He appeared to be in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes sparkled with shrewdness.
His gaze briefly swept over Gu Qingluan before he tactfully withdrew it and handed over something in his hand. “This is the Primordial Gold Needle and the Ninth-level Arcane Beast Core that you just won. It totals to 1,111 Xuanling Crystal Hearts.”
Gu Qingluan tossed him the bottomless pouch containing the Xuanling Crystal Hearts.
The black market transactions only recognized physical items like Xuanling stones and gold, not the cards introduced by the Lus.h.i.+ Auction House.
And spatial-grade profound artifacts were highly prized on the Cloud Plains Continent, usable by only a few individuals.
Seeing Gu Qingluan casually toss out a bottomless pouch, a hint of surprise flickered in the man’s eyes.
He gave Gu Qingluan a deep look before picking up the bottomless pouch and examining it.
Inside were exactly 1,111 Xuanling Crystal Hearts.
The man raised his eyebrows and handed over the box containing the Primordial Gold Needle and the Ninth-level Arcane Beast Core to Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan opened the first box, revealing the Ninth-level Arcane Beast Core. She glanced at it casually before covering it and then opened the second box.
In an instant, golden light radiated from it.
Gu Qingluan’s eyes brightened as she took out the gold needle and infused her spiritual awareness into it.
A familiar sensation surged within her.
It was the Primordial Gold Needle!
Fortunately, it hadn’t been stolen by that black-clothed masked man.
She placed the Primordial Gold Needle into her storage ring and nodded at the man.
“Just a moment!”
The man suddenly spoke up.
“What is it?” Gu Qingluan halted, her gaze watchful.
“Please don’t misunderstand, I stopped you because 1 need your help.”
Gu Qingluan remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
“This gold needle has been appraised by our experts and is indeed extraordinary. It can quickly heal patients with incurable diseases. However, for some reason, those who are cured experience a relapse of their old illnesses, and their condition worsens.”
“Are you telling me all of this to say that I’ve been deceived?” Gu Qingluan asked in a calm tone.
“No, no, not at all. This gold needle is indeed remarkable, but it’s too domineering, and its wielders cannot control it. If it could be controlled, the situations I mentioned earlier wouldn’t occur. If you can tame it, would you be willing to help us save someone?”
Before Gu Qingluan could refuse, the man continued, “Of course, your reward will not be meager.”
Gu Qingluan concealed her emotions in her eyes. “How can you be sure that 1 can control it?”
“Just a gut feeling,” the man replied with a smile.
His answer seemed rather evasive.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Gu Qingluan said, “Who do you want me to save? By the time I can control it, that person may have already pa.s.sed away.”
“You need not worry about that,” the man replied calmly. “The patient can wait for ten or even twenty years if necessary, as long as you agree.”
Although the Shadow Tower had a rather unscrupulous way of doing things, there was no conflict of interest with Gu Qingluan.
She pondered for a moment and agreed.
“Thank you very much!” The man’s face lit up. “If the Shadow Tower ever needs to contact you, how can we do so?”
Gu Qingluan replied, “Once I have mastered the gold needle, I will naturally come to find you.”
The man handed her a token. “My surname is Tang, and they call me Fourth Young Master Tang. Please accept this token; it’s my emblem. Whenever you need to contact the Shadow Tower, simply show this token, and you’ll reach me.”
Gu Qingluan accepted the token. It had a similar material to her “666” emblem but was smoother and more finely crafted. One side of the token was intricately carved with patterns, while the other side had the character “Kun” engraved on it.
“Now, there’s some chaos outside. You can sit here for a moment and leave when things settle down.”
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingluan had agreed to save someone, so Fourth Young Master Tang’s att.i.tude towards her was quite cordial.
As for the chaos outside, he seemed to pay it no mind at all.
A thought crossed Gu Qingluan’s mind as she remembered the Chaos Stone that had been sold for a high price. She asked, “I wonder if the buyer has taken the gem that was auctioned for ten thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts?”
Fourth Young Master Tang’s gaze flickered slightly. “The esteemed guest with number 999 just left..”
