Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 754: Chapter 452: The Buddha is Dead_2

“Silvercloud Family?” Logan muttered, feeling a sense of familiarity, and suddenly remembered—wasn’t Michael Silvercloud from the Silvercloud Family?

At that time, when he first went to the Immortal Realm, the ship was rented from the Silvercloud Family, and since he had saved Michael Silvercloud once, they had formed a connection.

So Logan headed straight for the Silvercloud Family Pawn Shop, and after he brought out the Half-step Divine Weapon, it indeed caused the clerk’s surprise, but unlike the shock at the previous pawn shop, it was apparent that the Silvercloud Family Pawn Shop had seen the world, so they did not lose their composure.

“Senior, this divine weapon is quite rare, so I must ask the shopkeeper to come over, please wait a moment,” the clerk bowed to Logan and then left.

After a while, the shopkeeper arrived, “A half-step Divine Weapon is indeed valuable, stronger than a Dominator Weapon, yet not quite at the level of a Divine Weapon, so it occupies an awkward position. It’s said to be worth a billion Spirit Stones, but in reality, often worth just tens of millions.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“To put it simply, Sanctuary Powerhouses don’t value half-step Divine Weapons, people from the Dominator Realm can’t use them, and those in the Half-step Saint Seat can refine their own, so why bother spending that money? However, since you, esteemed guest, have come, as a way to establish ties, we should offer a fair price.”

“Let’s say, seventy million Spirit Stones.” The shopkeeper was extremely shrewd, immediately pricing low and providing justifiable reasons, making it difficult to argue.

But Logan was not someone to be easily fooled, he sipped his tea and said, “That can’t be quite right, ordinary Half-step Saints, their minds are all on breaking through to the Saint Seat; where would they find the time to refine a half-step Divine Weapon? This could take decades, and for Half-step Saints, every moment of cultivation time is critical.”

Although Logan was in a hurry to exchange for Spirit Stones, he was not a fool and naturally could not allow too great a loss. Moreover, he had more than one option to sell divine weapons; he could casually refine a few Elixirs worth millions of Spirit Stones, so there was no need to suffer a loss.

“The client surely knows his stuff, but as you are also aware, where would one easily find so many Spirit Stones? Besides, a pawn shop must make some profit on its transactions,” said the shopkeeper.

After examining the half-step Divine Weapon, the shopkeeper discovered it was indeed a fine piece, both in appearance and power, ranking as a top-notch item at this level.

Instead of discussing the divine weapon, Logan asked, “Your Silvercloud Family Pawn Shop, does it originate from the Chang Dragon Sect? If so, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. You give me ten million Spirit Stones; I’m in a hurry to use them.”

“Esteemed guest, although you can easily present a half-step Divine Weapon, indicating you have some background, I’m afraid you might not quite qualify to oppose the Chang Dragon Sect,” the shopkeeper said.

Seeing Logan directly demanding Spirit Stones, the shopkeeper’s face changed instantly. What a joke, someone actually dared to bully the Chang Dragon Sect.

Logan was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand, “You misunderstand, I know Michael Silvercloud from the Chang Dragon Sect, and I have saved her before. Ten million Spirit Stones is a small sum, and I’m sure she would be willing to give it.”

“Could it be?” The shopkeeper fell into thought then suddenly said, “The young lady being saved, it seems to have happened the last time she went to the Eastern Sea for an opportunity. Could you be that senior?”

The shopkeeper gasped, recalling how, in the Eastern Sea’s Secret Land last time, an opponent had summoned a Sanctuary Powerhouse in an attempt to annihilate the three Quasi-Saints of the Chang Dragon Sect along with their followers. It was that Strong One who intervened, and with just an encounter, the opponent’s Sanctuary Powerhouse fled in terror.

Logan nodded, confirming the possibility, and the shopkeeper immediately bowed, “Senior, please wait a moment, the young lady happens to be nearby these days, resting in this area. I will quickly send someone to invite her.”

After sending someone to call for her, it took about fifteen minutes for Michael Silvercloud, having received the message, to arrive at the Silvercloud Family Pawn Shop as soon as possible.

Upon meeting, Michael Silvercloud was extremely respectful, “Senior, when I returned home after our last encounter, my elders scolded me for a bit, saying I didn’t understand etiquette and failed to host you.”

“I’m just passing by this time, ran out of Spirit Stones and thought of exchanging the divine weapon for some. I stumbled upon your Silvercloud Family Pawn Shop by accident.”

Logan waved his hand and told Michael Silvercloud not to be too formal, “No need for many words, I still have to go to the Eastern Sea shortly, so after exchanging for Spirit Stones, I must leave.”

“If a senior needs Spirit Stones, the Silvercloud Family is happy to provide them; there’s no need to exchange the divine weapon.” Michael Silvercloud grandly gestured for his staff to give Logan all the Spirit Stones in the pawn shop.

The shopkeeper felt a bit uneasy and hesitated, “Miss, the shop has a total of seventy million Spirit Stones. If we give them all away, how will we operate afterward? We have a lot of customers coming and going every day. If we can’t produce Spirit Stones, outsiders will definitely think something has happened to the pawn shop.”

“No matter, just give fifty million Spirit Stones first. Leave twenty million for operations. I will notify the Sect to send fifty million more to replenish the stock.”

Michael Silvercloud spoke assertively. Logan had become a great benefactor to Long Lin Gate, having saved three Quasi-Saints consecutively. Could they really be unwilling to part with a mere several dozen million Spirit Stones?

Logan did not refuse either. He wasn’t someone who dwelled on things unnecessarily. Since he needed Spirit Stones and the other party was willing to provide them, there was no reason not to accept.

“Senior, what brings you to the vicinity of the Eastern Sea again?” Michael Silvercloud asked out of curiosity, as generally, those who came here were almost surely heading out to sea.

Logan didn’t hide his reasons, saying directly, “I am going to the Eastern Sea. Since renting a ship requires Spirit Stones, that’s why I’ve come to your pawn shop to exchange some.”

“So it is. Long Lin Gate is also heading out to sea. Why don’t we travel together?” Michael Silvercloud revealed a hint of surprise. If they could travel with Logan, should they encounter any troublesome problems, Logan would undoubtedly lend a hand.

Logan did not refuse. He could see through the other party’s intentions, which were mostly due to his own strength. Besides, the other’s character was also decent, so traveling together would be acceptable.

Since they were going together, there was naturally no need to rent a ship with Spirit Stones. However, Logan still accepted the fifty million Spirit Stones from the shop. After all, there would be many places to use them later on.

“What business do you have at sea? Is there another Secret Land or something?” Logan looked at Michael Silvercloud, wondering if there truly was one. Could it be that the Immortal Realm had another rift? That shouldn’t be the case.

A couple of days ago, the Blackwood City Master had come to him, not because there was an issue with the Immortal Realm, but to talk about a Seal, claiming it sealed an unparalleled Strong One, which implied it couldn’t be the same opportunity as last time with the Secret Land.

“The situation is this: sea thieves have become very rampant. A few days ago, they captured dozens of our Sect’s disciples who were on a training mission. These are the Heavenly Prides of the younger generation within the Sect. Consequently, the Sect was furious, which is why they sent me to rescue them. I brought along a Quasi-Saint and a group of Strong Dominators,” Michael Silvercloud explained with a headache. “A while ago, a Sanctuary Powerhouse was suppressing thieves at sea, wiping out more than half of them in one sweep. The rest who survived fled in disarray. Since all their Spirit Stones were taken, they now need a large number to rebuild their power.”

“Knowing our Long Lin Gate, they demanded a ransom of one hundred million Spirit Stones. If we don’t pay, they will execute the dozens of disciples. Moreover, our Sect will lose its reputation, gaining a name for not valuing our disciples. I’ve been negotiating a solution these past few days.”

“In short, in the last five or six days, aside from Long Lin Gate, over a dozen other Sects have suffered. Whether the thieves would release the captives entirely depends on their mood. It’s the same whether we pay the ransom or not, but if we don’t pay, death is certain. Paying at least offers a glimmer of hope, so we need to figure out a solution that serves both sides.”

“The thieves are too audacious!” Logan was angered by what he heard, but he also understood that even if a Sanctuary Powerhouse made a move, given the vastness of the sea spanning millions of miles, it would indeed be very difficult to wipe out all the thieves. Having come across this situation, he felt obliged to help Michael Silvercloud.

Thus, Logan spoke earnestly, “In that case, I will accompany you to the thieves’ territory. After the rescue, I’ll take all of them down.”

“Thank you very much!” Michael Silvercloud was grateful upon hearing this. With Logan’s intervention, the matter was as good as settled, as even Sanctuary Powerhouses were not something Logan feared.

Afterward, the group headed out to sea. Michael Silvercloud’s ship was huge, easily accommodating a few thousand people, though there were only dozens on board at the moment.
