Chapter 2479: Surprise

The man sighed in relief. "How about 300 Rank Eight Divine Stones?"

Rean narrowed his eyes. He did have the Divine Stones from the Spatial Rings back in the Ruins of the Stars. Still, Rank Eight ones were very rare. 300 of them was more than half of everything in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Of course, that didn't count the Divine Origin Energy Cores, but those Cores couldn't be shown outside. "That price is a little too high... I'll give you 100."

The man immediately shook his head. "Do you have any idea how much this Core is worth in the eyes of another Lahamina Earth Tree?"

Rean nodded. "Yes. They are worth enough to kill whoever stole it other than their own race members."

The man immediately shut up. Indeed, the fact this was a hot potato hasn't changed. "250!"

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "This is a waste of time. We will keep going back and forth until we reach a mid-term. Since that's the case, let's get over with it. 175 Rank Eight Divine Stones, and we will never see each other again." Rean still hasn't forgotten that although such a high-level Core probably has a hint of Wood Laws inside, it might also not have it. He couldn't spend too much in case he needed to buy the other items.

The man sighed and nodded in the end. Whether he wanted it or not, at least 175 Rank Eight Divine Stones would help him a lot more than this Core. "Deal."

Rean quickly threw a Spatial Ring to the man with exactly the number of Divine Stones. He wasn't afraid of the man stealing his Divine Stones at all. The man checked the content inside and nodded. Following that, he also threw a Spatial Ring to Rean. "Be careful before removing the Core form inside. Considering how important it is, it might have some kind of tracker or whatever in it. I wouldn't bring it out unless I was in my own Pocket Dimensional Realm."

Rean nodded and checked the ring. He confirmed with Celis that it was the real deal and clapped his hands. "From now on, we don't know each other. This deal never happened. Is that fine with you?"

"I couldn't wish for more," the man nodded and left the house without thinking twice. Soon, he disappeared from Rean's Divine Sense, having opened a Spatial Gate somewhere else.

Rean then sent the Spatial Ring into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and removed the Core... or so he tried. Unfortunately, Roan was too far away at the moment, so he couldn't access the SOul Gem Dimensional Realm now. Fortunately, he could still talk to Sister Orb in this situation. "Sister Orb, check if there is a tracker or anything inside. From what Celis said, I highly doubt it doesn't have some tricks."

[Yeap, it does.] Sister Orb answered. In the next moment, a green rune floated out of the Core. Too bad Rean and Roan were too far away. [You should leave this city as soon as possible, Rean. From what I can see, just being inside a Spatial Ring wasn't enough to hide its tracks. All it did was to make its connection with whatever was tracking it more blurry. Nonetheless, the Lahamina Earth Trees should be quite close. He probably knew about it, which explains why this deal had to be done so fast.]

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, and I can already feel it. Ransvite doesn't have many experts. However, while I was negotiating with the guy, another ten Elemental Space Realm Experts arrived together. Fortunately, I had my Divine Sense Bending activated, so they haven't seen me yet."

Rean left the house and flew in another direction, using his Divine Sense Bending to detect where those experts were coming from. He then smiled and added his Light Bending Skill to the mix, making himself invisible. The only thing Rean couldn't hide from was the Natural Spatial Perceptions. But the perception ranges are nowhere as large as Divine Sense. Rean used the Divine Sense Bending Skill to stay far from the perceptions as he could tell where the Divine Senses were coming from.

Once Rean got far enough, he opened a Spatial Gate himself and disappeared. He completely gave up the idea of using Ransvite City Long-Distance Teleport Formations.

[So, will you destroy the rune? The most I could do was to bring it out. Without Roan here, the amount of power I can use outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm is very limited. I can't destroy it on my own. You also can't enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm while Roan isn't nearby.] Sister Orb asked as Rean passed through the Spatial Tunnel.

"I don't see any use for it, so I'll just destroy it," Rean answered.

With a wave of Rean's Sky Energy, the Green Rune broke apart, disappearing into green specs of light. "We better find Roan soon so that he can transform this thing into the pill."

Rean continued to use his Spatial Gates for five days in a roll. Only when he was already on another continent did he finally look for a city with a Long Distance Teleport Formation. Obviously, a new and completely different appearance was being used again.

As Rean got close to a city called Tyriwei, Roan contacted Rean through the communication system. 'Luan is with me already. I'm going back to the Humanoid Races Territory.'

"Okay," Rean nodded. "There is no need for us to meet on the way. Just take the fastest route back to our training ground. My concealing formation is still there, after all. You can concoct your pills while we finish the last five years of tests. Then we can decide if we are going to see Huban first or go to the Heavens."

'Seems like you got the Core,' Roan said.

Rean then explained the deal and the issues with the Core. "That's how it happened."

'Whatever,' Roan didn't seem to care. As long as the Core was obtained, that was all he needed. 'I'll meet you there then.'

Rean checked his Jade Slip with the map of the Center of the Realm of Gods and smiled. He should be able to see the city in a few minutes. However, it was at that moment the environment around him turned red. It wasn't that the world changed colors. Instead, it was a type of Red that only Rean and Roan could see. 'Killing Intent!'
