"A powerful treasure has appeared near the Ural Mountain Range in the eastern part of Tianshan Prefecture, and a large number of powerful figures, including the Prefecture Lord, are gathering in that area!"
The three had just entered Tianshan Prefecture City, the capital of Tianshan City Prefecture, when they heard the news in a high-end restaurant.
Delisha and Freya looked at Jason.
"Perhaps my intelligence was wrong, or perhaps this is another treasure," Jason explained, while inwardly marveling, "Could it be such a coincidence?"
Freya, with a calm yet slightly curious expression, said, "Let's go join the fun after we finish eating!"
"You're Sovereign, couldn't you just scan the area with your divine sense and know what's going on?" Jason thought to himself, but dared not say it out loud.
Freya seemed to sense something, raised her head, and snorted, "Since it's a journey, it should be like other Deity-level, relying on equal power to adventure, only then will it feel real!"
Delisha and Jason exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, indicating, "You're right."
After sampling the dishes of Tianshan Prefecture, the three of them, like three ordinary Demon, went to the Fiend Castle to inquire about information.
"Treasures of the Ural Mountain Range?" The receptionist didn't even lift his eyelids. "The Lord of the Prefecture has ordered that information related to this matter is strictly prohibited from being disseminated within the Fiend Castle of Tianshan Prefecture."
At this moment, a burly man walked over and said, "You want to compete for the treasures of the Ural Mountain Range? I have detailed information here. Five million Inkstone, are you interested?"
Delisha looked at the receptionist at Fiend Castle, who merely glanced at the burly man and did not stop her.
Jason activated the Seven Star Fiend Medal on his chest and sensed that the burly man was a Six-Star Fiend, a function only the Seven Star Fiend Medal possessed.
"I need to see some of it first before deciding whether to buy or not," Jason said cautiously.
The burly man looked around and said to the receptionist, "Give me a private room."
The receptionist reached into a drawer, pulled out a gold key, and tossed it over. The burly man caught it and led the three to a nearby private room.
As Jason walked towards the private room, he noticed that the other Demon in the hall were giving him strange looks.
The burly man pulled out a piece of paper with only one line of text on it. "This is the first message. I have ten pages in total. If you agree, we'll make a deal."
Jason looked over:
"The treasure consists of nine emerald green beads, each granting the holder powerful regenerative abilities to both soul and body. Unless one is instantly killed, the body can recover rapidly."
Jason's heart tightened. He thought, "This description should be the Overgod Token, but its power has been reduced. Could it be that the nine pieces have been scattered and can no longer bring people back to life?"
"It's somewhat similar to the Vermilion Bird Clan's talent," Delisha said through divine sense. "Is it the same as the information about the treasure you obtained before?"
Jason thought for a moment and said, "It's the same one. The intelligence must be wrong. My information is that the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture obtained these Nine Spirit Orbs, but in reality, he hasn't fully obtained them yet."
Within the territory of Tianshan Prefecture, the treasures that the prefecture lord personally fought for are basically guaranteed to be his.
The two glanced at Freya, who simply shrugged, indicating that the decision was theirs.
Jason glanced at the burly man and said, "I need to establish the Overgod Contract first."
"No, the Lord of the Manor has ordered that this information not be spread. The only reason I can sell it to you privately is because I have some connection with the Lord of the Manor's son." The burly man's attitude was very firm.
"The Lord's son, the one who stole Olivier's wife in the original story—oh no, the one Olivier cuckolded." Jason found it somewhat amusing, but still took out five million Inkstone. For information about the Overgod Token, five million Inkstone was simply too good to pass up.
The burly man put away the Interspatial Ring containing the Inkstone, got up, and walked out of the private room.
"Hey!" Jason sensed something was wrong, but still tried to call out to the other person.
"What are you 'hey' for? This is intelligence that the Lord of the Prefecture has explicitly forbidden from being disseminated. How could I possibly sell it to you!" the burly man said coldly.
"Hahahaha!" Laughter from the other Demon outside came through the crack in the open door, clearly indicating that this person had already fooled quite a few people with this trick.
Jason stood up; the burly man had already left the private room and gone outside.
"What, you want to make a move here?" the burly man said with a mocking smile.
Jason turned his head to look at Freya beside him, only to see that her cheeks were flushed and she was smiling, clearly enjoying Jason's misfortune.
Looking at Delisha again, she was furious but dared not make a move here.
Jason activated the Fiend Badge again, "Haierno, Six-Star Fiend."
After saying that, Jason left with his two companions.
Behind him, the receptionist, who had been silent all along, burst out laughing, "Hehehe, Haierno, that was a Seven Star Fiend!" As a receptionist, she naturally had a way to check Demon's star rating.
The burly man named Haierno's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "So what if it's Seven Star Fiend! How dare an outsider like the Seven Star Fiend bully our Tianshan Prefecture?"
Haierno wasn't entirely lying; he was indeed a subordinate of the son of the Tianshan Prefecture Lord, a distant branch of the Tianshan Prefecture Lord's family, and held a considerable position as Six-Star Fiend. He dared to lie so blatantly because he knew that powerful figures wouldn't seek revenge over five million Inkstone, while insignificant people wouldn't dare retaliate against him.
"Jason, don't be angry. It's just five million Inkstone. We did receive a message—" Delisha tried to comfort Jason, but her voice grew softer and softer.
"Alright, I've calmed down. You're right, we've got the key information about this treasure, the rest will be easy."
In fact, Jason's anger had subsided by the time he left the Fiend Castle. The value of the Nine Spirit Orbs could no longer be measured in Inkstone. The fact that they could pinpoint a general area and that their current power was not yet enough to attract the attention of the Sovereign was enough to excite Jason.
"Strange, you seem to value these Nine Spirit Orbs orbs quite a bit." Freya's keen senses instantly detected Jason's unusual emotional state.
Jason composed himself. "For the Sovereign, treasures of this caliber are nothing, but for me, Nine Spirit Orbs together are equivalent to another Sovereign Artifact!"
"Ha, I don't believe you for a second!" Freya covered her lips with one hand, looking disgusted. "After you collect all Nine Spirit Orbs, I need to study them first."
Freya's perception was too strong; Jason could detect even the slightest emotional fluctuation. But now he was in a bind and had no choice but to take it first.
"Then, Lady Freya, could you help me confirm the location of the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture?" Following the principle of not missing out on any opportunity to profit, Jason decided to ask.
"No! Not only can I not, but I'll be the first to play with it afterwards! The Sovereign is so capricious!" Freya giggled, throwing a tantrum like a young girl.
Jason was deflated.
But he knew in his heart that he was powerless to do anything about it. After the news of the treasure appearing in the Ural Mountain Range reached Freya's ears, the matter was no longer something he could control.
"If all else fails, we can go to Freya and ask for it after Linley becomes Sovereign. Sigh, let's just take it one step at a time."
"Actually, as a friend, I'm not that unreasonable," Freya suddenly said, setting up a barrier to separate Delisha. "How about this, let's make a bet. If you can collect Nine Spirit Orbs, I'll give you a chance—to exchange the information you've researched about the Divine Beast Bloodline of a Lightning Element divine beast for my secret method of strengthening your body with the Sovereign’s Might!"
Oh, I forgot to mention, I possess a secret technique for strengthening the body with the Sovereign’s Might; the Azure Dragon Sovereign obtained this technique from me.
Jason didn't react for a moment, and after a few seconds he said, "Then aren't you at a huge disadvantage—no, you want my research ideas!"
"Hmph, that's right," Freya said without mincing words, "I know you definitely can't hand over your research on the Four Divine Beast Bloodline to me. But I can borrow your ideas. I have a lot of experience in this area, and as long as I have your ideas, I can reconstruct all your research results."
"So? Should we exchange it or not?"
Jason hesitated for only a few seconds, then nodded. "Okay."
"The Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood is all with Beirut. What kind of cover am I supposed to provide for him?"
