Chapter 1218 - 770: Gold [True Monarch of Qingyuan Miaodao, Yang Jian]! (Part 2)
But Jiang Yuan still went to wash his face and tidied up his hair and beard.
Only then did he head to the bathroom.
No one was home, even the Old Lord and Zhao Gongming, who were often homebodies, were not around.
Jiang Yuan didn't bother looking for them. He was hesitating whether to go back into seclusion again.
With the continuous card making over such a long time, and the constant consumption and replenishment of Star Power, he had noticed a small crack appearing on the star representing the Twelfth Realm, Early Stage of Ximu.
Now, if he trains for a bit longer, allowing the crack to widen, there's a high probability he can directly break through to the Twelfth Realm, Early Stage of Ximu with the use of an elixir.
But honestly, Jiang Yuan was really sick of being in seclusion for so long.
That's why he was hesitating.
If it weren't for that, he might have just gone back directly.
"Are Nezha and the others with you?"
"You're out of seclusion?"
Mu Qianshan's voice came through the terminal, sounding a bit excited.
"They're watching the fun with me."
"I'll send you the location. See if you want to come over."
"Alright."
After nodding, Jiang Yuan received the location sent by Mu Qianshan.
It wasn't very far from where he lived, and Jiang Yuan was curious about the commotion, so he decided to check it out.
The Unihorn Smoke Beast was fast, and Jiang Yuan arrived at the location in no time.
"Wow, you're all here."
Quite a gathering, with Nezha, Monkey Brother, Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiaos, the Old Lord, and Shi Ji.
All gathered here to watch.
"You're out of seclusion?"
Nezha and Monkey Brother seemed pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Yuan.
They hadn't expected Jiang Yuan to come out quietly.
"Yeah, I just called Mu Qianshan. Didn't he tell you?"
Jiang Yuan looked curiously at Mu Qianshan, who just chuckled, "Wanted to surprise them."
"Well, you did it."
"How's it going?"
The Old Lord curiously asked, "Your goals?"
"Not bad, all accomplished."
Jiang Yuan said, feeling quite cheerful, "I'll take a break for now. The recent period has been too hard."
"You definitely deserve a break."
The Old Lord nodded slightly, recalling his own times of alchemy.
After long sessions of alchemy, he'd always take a stroll.
Just like now.
"By the way, what's going on here?"
"Someone brought a treasure map saying they wanted to trade it for a Golden Quality heavenly material or earthly treasure."
Mu Qianshan pointed at a young boy in the crowd with a smile, "We weren't initially interested, but then he said there's a Summoning Card at the treasure location."
"Ha, so we came to check it out, to see who else besides you and Li Yueying still has Summoning Cards."
"Summoning Card?"
Jiang Yuan looked surprised at the stubborn-faced young man.
He was certain he didn't know this person.
But he claimed to have a Summoning Card?
That was indeed interesting.
"Hey, kid, do you know what a Summoning Card is?"
Jiang Yuan smiled, asking the young man who, despite being called a "kid," was actually in his twenties.
Now that Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan were in their thirties, calling someone a kid wasn't a stretch.
"Of course I know, Nezha and the others are Card Spirits of the Summoning Card!"
Faced with the defiant look of the young man, Jiang Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"So, do you know where Nezha is?"
"Where?"
Li Tianquan was taken aback, then looked as the man in front pointed at a nearby person with two bun-like hairstyles and a proud face.
"Him?"
"Nezha?"
"Yeah, you don't even recognize Nezha, and you still talk big."
After Jiang Yuan's words, the people around began to look at Nezha in surprise.
"Whoa, it really seems like Nezha!"
"Indeed, it resembles him. I only had a distant glance before, I couldn't be certain."
"Speaking of, if Nezha's here..."
The person then looked around at the people surrounding Nezha.
"They really match up with Jiang Yuan's crew."
The middle-aged man was a bit startled, realizing that even in this residential area, there were quite a few strong individuals.
"So you're Jiang Yuan?"
Having had a thought, someone directed the question at Jiang Yuan.
"As real as it gets."
Jiang Yuan chuckled, a golden card glowing in his hand, and Nezha's Fire-tipped Spear appeared in his grasp.
"It's truly Nezha!"
"That's Nezha's weapon!"
"No doubt, it's Nezha!"
Seeing the excited crowd, Monkey Brother nudged Nezha with his elbow, smiling.
"Looks like your weapon is more famous than you."
"Pipe down!"
Nezha, with a sour face, hands in his pockets, looked at everyone with displeasure.
How could he himself be less famous than his weapon!
A bunch of mortals with no eye for the great god Taishen!
How infuriating!
Nezha felt a rage building inside, but now that he was recognized, acting any more would ruin his image.
Seeing Nezha's expression, the Old Lord and the Lady San Xiao laughed too.
"So, are you still sure there's a Summoning Card in your treasure map's treasure?"
After proving himself, Jiang Yuan put away the Fire-tipped Spear and asked Li Tianquan.
Li Tianquan looked a bit uneasy, not expecting to run into the genuine article.
"No!"
Though irritated, Li Tianquan still admitted honestly.
"I just borrowed the fame of the Summoning Card because it's well-known."
Listening to the boos from the crowd, Li Tianquan hurriedly explained, "Though it doesn't have a Summoning Card, it does have a card that can rival it!"
Li Tianquan's words sparked some interest among the crowd again, but Jiang Yuan lost his.
He really thought there was a Summoning Card.
If there truly was a Summoning Card, trading a Golden Quality heavenly material or earthly treasure wouldn't be out of question.
Too bad there wasn't.
Just a card similar in strength to a Summoning Card?
No big deal.
His tactical system was already set; additional Summoning Cards could be useful.
But taking other cards didn't hold much significance.
"Let's go."
Jiang Yuan left, and naturally, Nezha and the others didn't stick around either.
They were just there for the excitement since Jiang Yuan wasn't around and they were bored.
Now that the show's over and Jiang Yuan's out, there's no point in staying any longer.
"Any plans coming up?"
Mu Qianshan seemed excited, "I've also successfully broken through to the Eleventh Realm Fire. How about going out and having some fun?"
"Having some fun outside?"
Jiang Yuan looked curiously at Mu Qianshan, "Have the other races lifted their pursuit order on us?"
"Pursuit order?"
Mu Qianshan seemed puzzled, "Since when did we care about pursuit orders?"
"No, I was talking about the new one."
"New one?"
This made Mu Qianshan even more puzzled, "We're already at Level 1 pursuit, or rather, the Death Order."
"We're at the top of All Clans' Death Order ranking, what further pursuit order is there?"
Jiang Yuan clicked his tongue twice, "General Jiang Yaoyang didn't tell you."
"For both of us, oh, or should I say, my current pursuit order is of a higher level."
"Now those coming to kill me are basically Twelfth Realm powerhouses."
"Even if it means a trade-off, they'll make sure to kill me."
Jiang Yuan said, smiling as he patted the somewhat stiff Mu Qianshan, "So, you can go out and have fun, but I can't."
"Wait, Twelfth Realm powerhouses?"
Mu Qianshan finally realized, "Coming to kill you?"
"And they're willing to take a one-for-one trade just to kill you?"
"Yeah."
Jiang Yuan said self-assuredly, "My current worth is just that impressive!"
Mu Qianshan fell silent; he had heard rumors.
From people like Zhan Youqing, for example.
But he really thought they were joking.
After all, Jiang Yuan was just an Eleventh Realm Fire powerhouse.
And a Twelfth Realm powerhouse was quite rare in any race; how could they sacrifice one for Jiang Yuan!
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be true?
"Otherwise, what do you think I haven't been out for so long for?"
