Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 579: Chapter 548 Nanweng

“Once I become strong enough, can I take back the Bloodthirsty Sword?” Lin Yun wondered with a sudden flicker in his eyes.

This approach could work, otherwise, conjuring a holy land power was way out of his league.

“I wonder, how much strength do I need to possess before you rest easy?” Lin Yun asked the thought dawning upon him.@@novelbin@@

Upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, the old man was overjoyed.

No matter why Lin Yun hesitated, his words suggested that he was considering the second possibility, offering the old man more time to use the Bloodthirsty Sword.

Initially, the old man was worried that Lin Yun might directly signal the powerful beings of Immortal Origin Holy Land who would rush here swiftly, hardly offering much time for him to use the Bloodthirsty Sword.

With this, he no longer needed to worry.

“I currently possess the strength of Half Step Great Power, which is beyond the peak of Level Twelve. I believe that reaching the peak of Level Twelve might be enough for controlling this Bloodthirsty Sword.” After a pause, the old man spoke.

Given that Lin Yun, currently at the later stages of Level Ten, was just about twenty years old, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to break through to the peak of Level Twelve, at least from the old man’s point of view.

As he spoke, these thoughts ran through the old man’s mind.

“Half Step Great Power?”

Hearing the old man’s statement, Lin Yun was stunned.

He knew that in many cultivation systems, terms like ‘half step’ were often used before a major breakthrough.

For instance, Half Step Gold Core, Half Step Domain, and so on in the Martial Arts Realm.

‘Half Step Great Power’ must mean he was very close to the Great Power domain and that his strength far exceeded that of a typical Level Twelve peak cultivator.

Little had he expected the old man to be so powerful.

No wonder, he managed to gravely injure a Level Twelve Golden Beast.

“Peak of Level Twelve?” Lin Yun queried, a frown creasing his forehead. “Do I need to reach the peak of Level Twelve in terms of realm or strength?”

“Either way is fine as long as you attain the peak of Level Twelve,” the old man sincerely replied with a nod.

Though Lin Yun was at the late stage of Level Ten and had the strength to surpass the peak of Level Eleven – all thanks to the Bloodthirsty Sword -, even without the sword, he was barely at the peak of Level Eleven.

Not that it was any less remarkable.

However, fighting opponents of higher levels was becoming more difficult as he progressed.

It was apparent that Lin Yun’s ability to transcend levels in combat was deep-rooted, probably due to his rigorous training at earlier stages.

The gap between Levels Eleven and Twelve was massive.

And each level after Twelve differed significantly.

To be able to achieve the realm of the peak of Level Twelve, Lin Yun had to be at least in the middle or possibly even the later stage of Level Twelve.

Could he break through from the late stage of Level Ten to the middle or late stage of Level Twelve?

That was unlikely to happen soon.

Although Lin Yun achieved so much at such a young age, it seemed improbable that he could break through to the mid or late stage of Level Twelve anytime soon.

“Perhaps, he does not understand the difficulty of forthcoming breakthroughs. By the time he realizes, it would probably be too late…” the old man thought to himself.

“May I ask, how do I locate you once I achieve the strength of the peak of Level Twelve?” Lin Yun asked.

“In the Nine-Level Civilization Star Domain, in the Nanyuan Star System, you’ll find me, Nanweng. Simply ask around, and you’ll know.” the old man smiled.

“Thousands of years ago, I heard the holy people preach at the Immortal Origin Holy Land and it benefitted me greatly. I never imagined, that after thousands of years, after the Immortal Origin Holy Land closed its doors, I’d meet someone from there again. It must be fate. Take these Spirit Crystals.” Pausing, the old man continued.

In the end, he decided to offer Lin Yun some benefits, just in case the latter took too long to break through and chose the first option over the second.

If the powerful beings from the Immortal Origin Holy Land came and accused him of intent to exploit Lin Yun, that would be troublesome.

Whew——

As he spoke, he waved and a Spatial Ring appeared in front of Lin Yun.

“This is one trillion Spirit Crystals. I take my leave now.” The old man, having gathered the Bloodthirsty Sword, turned to leave as he spoke.

“Elder, please wait a moment,” Lin Yun implored.

“Hmm?” the elder looked at Lin Yun.

“This Golden Beast has fought side by side with me. I wonder if the elder could spare it?” Lin Yun looked at the Golden Beast, his heart racing with uncertainty as he asked.

He knew well the value of this Golden Beast. He had no idea if the other party would spare it. The elder’s power was terrifying. It was already extremely merciful of him to just snatch the Bloodthirsty Sword and spare Lin Yun’s life.

Now, not only was he given one trillion spirit crystals, but he also promised to return the Bloodthirsty Sword once he was powerful enough. However, his additional request felt somewhat audacious.

But after all, he and the Golden Beast had formed a bond and gotten along quite well. If he didn’t ask on its behalf, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.

“This…” the elder frowned.

The Golden Beast held immense value. If he was unable to use the Bloodthirsty Sword to break through to the realm of Great Power, he would rely on this Golden Beast. Very soon now, this Golden Beast would become his capture…

“Roar—roar—”

Just then, upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Golden Beast cried out continuously, as if responding.

“Fine! Fine! Fine!” Seeing this, the elder sighed.

The bond between the Golden Beast and Lin Yun was established. If he refused, the young man would certainly hold a grudge against him. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn’t care.

But Lin Yun was from the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

And he gained the Bloodthirsty Sword from him.

Now, he would use this Golden Beast as compensation!

He hoped that if a powerful person from the Immortal Origin Holy Land ever comes knocking, they can settle matters amicably based on his relinquishing the Golden Beast!

He hoped that he could use the Bloodthirsty Sword to break through to the Great Power realm. Then his giving up the Golden Beast wouldn’t be in vain!

Huff—

Thinking this way, the elder waved his hand and the transparent giant palm holding the Golden Beast released its grip.

“Young fellow, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” the elder looked at Lin Yun and said.

“Thank you, elder, for your understanding,” Lin Yun thanked him with a bow.

By this point, he realized that the Golden Beast was probably prey the elder had been eyeing for a while but hadn’t captured yet, a method of taming he had seen in the Cosmic Trading System.

To have the elder willingly give up such a prize was not a typical show of nerve.

At this moment, he sincerely thanked the elder.

“Hum—”

With a ripple in space, the elder teleported away.

The glow in Lin Yun’s eyes flickered for a few moments as he turned to look in a certain direction of the starry sky.

There was one more thing he didn’t mention.

That was, because of the arrival of the elder, Mingdu had run off.

After so long, he had no idea where Mingdu had gone.

However, he had demanded so much already, he feared if he pressed on, the elder would grow impatient and retract his earlier promises.

After all, he had no powerful backing, no real confidence when speaking.

Anyway, Mingdu was still somewhere around this Star Domain. He could send out some surveillance devices, and finding him shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

As he thought about it, Lin Yun’s mind went to the trillion spirit crystals left behind by the elder.

A trillion spirit crystals could buy many powerful detection devices, or even some more special detection devices.

Sure enough, the elder was a Half Step Great Power. When he made a move, it was a trillion spirit crystals.

Previously, when he intended to sell the Bloodthirsty Sword on the Cosmic Trading System, he wasn’t even sure he could sell it for that many spirit crystals.

Of course, Little White and Little Blue who were inside the Bloodthirsty Sword were not something that spirit crystals could measure. No matter how many spirit crystals were offered, he would never sell them.
