Chapter 414 - 390: Harvest and Intelligence

Chapter 414: Chapter 390: Harvest and Intelligence

The most precious of the demon beast materials were those at Tier Four Peak. They could be used directly as primary materials for refining all kinds of Top Grade Magical Treasures.

There were also some special parts, like Snake Gallbladders and bear paws, which could be used for refining Elixirs or cooked into Spiritual Food.

As for the magical treasures of the Heaven-defying Alliance cultivators, there were over a hundred of them. They were at least Upper Grade, and there were even thirty-two Top Grade Magical Treasures. In addition, there were five Celestial Grade Magical Treasures, which were exceptionally valuable.

The only disappointment was that there were no Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures.

However, this didn’t surprise Zhang Chi in the slightest.

After all, even for a major power like the Hundred Flowers Palace, a Top Grade Spirit Treasure was a sect-guarding treasure. Therefore, even if the Heaven-defying Alliance and the Beast Alliance possessed such treasures, they wouldn’t let their Cultivators and Demon Beasts carry them around casually.

In fact, even Qin Yushan and the others, despite being the True Disciples of the three Palace Masters of the Desert Divine Palace, didn’t have any Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures on them.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been trapped so easily before, nor would the experts from the Heaven-defying Alliance and the Beast Alliance have been so easily slain by a single sword strike from Zhang Chi.

Moreover, although there were no Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, the other treasures were still incredibly valuable. The Celestial Grade Magical Treasures, in particular, were practically priceless.

Besides these, there were various Spirit Talismans, Spirit Woods, Refined Gold, Elixirs, Spirit Grasses...

These items were also extremely valuable. Many of them were Tier Four Late Stage or even Tier Four Peak, making them perfectly suited for Zhang Chi to use. ℴ𝒗ⅇ𝑙.

With these gains, plus the mission rewards for coming to the front lines and the profits he earned from his own Alchemy and Artifact Refining, he could undoubtedly afford to cultivate extravagantly for a long time.

However, none of these were the most precious finds.

The most precious item was a Jade Spirit Branch that Zhang Chi had surprisingly found on the body of that Demon Leopard.

This object was one of the Promotion Spiritual Objects needed for a Nascent Soul Cultivator to break through to the Divinity Transformation realm.

At the same time, inside the Storage Bag of a Heaven-defying Alliance Cultivator, Zhang Chi also found a Jade Scroll that recorded a precious Divine Technique.

This Divine Technique was called the Void Spirit Eyes. Once mastered, it not only greatly enhanced a Cultivator’s vision but also allowed them to see through all illusions. It could even let them directly perceive spatial nodes and hidden spatial rifts.

Of these two gains, the former was an essential item for Zhang Chi’s future attempt to break through to Divinity Transformation.

The latter was undoubtedly a very useful auxiliary Divine Technique.

The only problem was that cultivating this Divine Technique required extremely high Comprehension and the aid of some special Spiritual Objects. But after a careful look, Zhang Chi discovered he could directly use Merit Points to exchange for all the necessary special Spiritual Objects from the Desert Divine Palace.

It was just that they were very expensive.

As for comprehension, Zhang Chi’s was extremely high.

Thus, cultivating this Divine Technique wouldn’t be much of a problem for Zhang Chi.

’Years ago, I deliberately spread the rumor that the Oasis Ruins contained a Spiritual Object that could help a cultivator reach Divinity Transformation. I never thought I’d hit the mark by accident and actually be right. And while this Spiritual Object is different from what I described, its value is no less. This is truly an unexpected delight for me.’

At this moment, after examining the Jade Scroll and now carefully inspecting the Jade Spirit Branch, Zhang Chi couldn’t help but be in an excellent mood.

After all, a Spiritual Object that could help a Cultivator advance to Divinity Transformation was incredibly precious.

It wasn’t even on the Desert Divine Palace’s exchange list.

The three Palace Masters might have one, but that was just a possibility.

And even if they did, it would surely be extremely difficult to obtain.

As for the Divine Technique, Void Spirit Eye, it wasn’t on the Divine Palace’s exchange list either.

There were a few similar Divine Techniques, but exchanging for them required what could only be described as a sea of Merit Points.

After a while, Zhang Chi finally calmed down completely. He immediately took out two blank Jade Scrolls and imprinted the intelligence he had gathered on the Heaven-defying Alliance and the Beast Alliance into each one, respectively.

Next, Zhang Chi reverted to his original appearance and aura, put on a mask, and quietly left his cave residence. He made his way to the vicinity of Qin Yushan’s cave residence in the center of Bixue Green Oasis.

SWISH!

Zhang Chi raised his hand, and a Communication Golden Light immediately shot out, landing on the Array outside Qin Yushan’s cave residence.

Soon, Qin Yushan saw the anonymous message, flew out of his cave residence, and immediately spotted Zhang Chi.

However, Zhang Chi’s appearance was now completely different from his usual self, and Qin Yushan had no way of recognizing that the person before him was his sworn brother.

"What is your name and origin, friend? Why have you sought me out?" Qin Yushan asked.

His tone seemed calm, but his body was tense, and he was already prepared to strike at any moment.

He would never have come out to meet a stranger so rashly. He only did so because this was Bixue Green Oasis, he was powerful in his own right, they were near his cave residence, and the other party had mentioned a great opportunity.

"Don’t ask about that. If I wanted you to know, I wouldn’t be wearing a mask. I’m looking for you because I have two pieces of intelligence: one from the Beast Alliance and the other from the Heaven-defying Alliance. If you purchase this intelligence and submit it to the Desert Divine Palace, you can deal a major blow to both powers. You’ll also be rewarded with a great deal of Merit Points."

Zhang Chi got straight to the point.

"Intelligence? Can I see it first? After all, our Desert Divine Palace has no shortage of common intelligence."

Realization dawned on Qin Yushan.

Knowing the other party was here to make a deal, he finally relaxed a little, but couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

After all, the Desert Divine Palace’s intelligence-gathering capabilities were formidable.

Therefore, the Desert Divine Palace already possessed, often in greater detail, any intelligence an ordinary cultivator might provide.

As for intelligence the Desert Divine Palace *didn’t* have, an ordinary cultivator would have no way of obtaining it.

Moreover, the true secrets of the Heaven-defying Alliance and the Beast Alliance were all held by the upper echelons of those two powers.

Not only were these high-level figures powerful in their Cultivation, but they also had confidentiality Restrictions placed within their Divine Souls, so they would never leak intelligence voluntarily.

Even if they were captured and subjected to a Soul Search, the Soul Searcher would need an extremely high Cultivation and the ability to bypass those Restrictions to gain anything of value.

But that was clearly impossible.

For example, when performing a Soul Search on a Nascent Soul Peak Level expert, even if the three Palace Masters acted personally, they might not succeed without suffering negative consequences. Furthermore, the three Palace Masters couldn’t bypass the confidentiality Restrictions in the target’s Divine Soul either.

"Alright!"

Zhang Chi knew what the other was thinking but couldn’t be bothered to explain. He immediately tossed out a white Jade Scroll.

This Jade Scroll contained the intelligence on the Heaven-defying Alliance, but only half of it was viewable; the other half had been sealed by Zhang Chi with a Restriction.

"This... Is this intelligence real?"

Qin Yushan casually took it and began to inspect it on the spot. After one look, he was utterly astonished, and his voice even began to tremble slightly as he spoke.

He found that the intelligence within was not only detailed but also extremely important and of a very high Level.

"Of course. If you don’t believe me, I can swear a Spirit Contract to guarantee it," Zhang Chi said with a faint smile.

"Alright. If you can truly guarantee it, then I’ll buy this intelligence. As for the intelligence on the Beast Alliance, if it’s just as valuable, I’ll buy that too. We can discuss the price."

Only then did Qin Yushan realize he had underestimated the other party. He immediately changed his attitude, becoming eager.

After all, intelligence like this was practically priceless and absolutely could not be missed.

Therefore, even though his reaction might lead the other party to demand an exorbitant price, he no longer cared.

Besides, the intelligence was too precious, and he held a great grudge against the Heaven-defying Alliance, so he couldn’t control his emotions at all.

"Alright. Then take a look at this Jade Scroll as well."

Not at all surprised, Zhang Chi nodded slightly and tossed the other Jade Scroll to him.

"This intelligence... we need this too."

Qin Yushan took it and looked, and couldn’t help but grow even more excited.

"Then let’s talk price now!"

Zhang Chi immediately began to negotiate with him. After signing a Spirit Contract, he finally unsealed the Jade Scrolls and completed the transaction.

This time, not only did he obtain a large amount of Spirit Stones and Cultivation Materials, but he also requested a set of Spiritual Objects for the Cultivation of Void Spirit Eyes as part of the deal.

This way, he could master the Void Spirit Eyes without anyone knowing.

Of course, in order to gather the Spirit Stones and other items, Qin Yushan, with Zhang Chi’s permission, specifically called over Cheng Ran and Xie Yulin. The three of them even used their Merit Points to exchange for some of the materials Zhang Chi required.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Zhang Chi."

"That’s right. If it weren’t for you, we would have been completely wiped out."

After the transaction was complete, Qin Yushan and the others solemnly thanked him and directly stated Zhang Chi’s real name.

Clearly, they all knew that while the price Zhang Chi had asked for wasn’t low, it was definitely a ’friendship price’.

After all, the value of the intelligence was impossible to measure precisely.

This way, when they submitted the intelligence, they would not only receive a reward and recoup their costs, but also make a small profit. Moreover, this was also a way for them to repay the Desert Divine Palace for the grace of nurturing them.

"Who told you my name is Zhang Chi? Who said I saved you?"

Zhang Chi couldn’t help but be a little surprised to hear this. 𝚏𝗋ℯⅇ

"The Hundred Flowers Palace already deduced your identity based on the Black Bell and Spirit Sword you used earlier. Naturally, our Desert Divine Palace found out right away as well. Besides, these two pieces of intelligence must have come from Nascent Soul Peak Level experts within the Beast Alliance and Heaven-defying Alliance. Since you killed so many of them before, you’re the most likely person to have obtained it. That’s why we made such a bold guess!"

Qin Yushan and the others smiled faintly and quickly explained.

"I see."

Zhang Chi understood, but he didn’t deny it.

"So it really was you?"

Qin Yushan and the others were overjoyed.

Now, although they hadn’t seen their benefactor’s true face, they at least knew his name and had met him in person.

"That’s right, but there’s no need to thank me. I am now also one of the countless Cultivators in the Endless Desert Sea. Seeing you besieged by Demon Beasts, it was only natural for me to help. As for the Heaven-defying Alliance colluding with Demon Beasts, they deserved to die and more," Zhang Chi said with a slight nod.

"Be that as it may, Senior, you saved us, and that’s a fact. Furthermore, by providing this intelligence, you’ve done a great service to our Desert Divine Palace. We’d like to invite you to stay as our guest so we can properly repay you. We also want to report this matter to the Divine Palace; I’m sure they will reward you as well. Even our three masters, the Palace Masters, would very likely want to meet you."

Qin Yushan and the others immediately extended the invitation, full of expectation.

"Haha, there’s no need for all that. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. No need to see me out or ask any more questions. If we’re fated to meet again, we will."

Zhang Chi just laughed, and with a flash of his figure, transformed into a streak of blood-red light and vanished into the distance.

Clearly, he didn’t want to accept their hospitality, as that would only expose his identity.

As for the three Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs who could threaten his life, he wanted to meet them even less.
