at the same time.
The capital city, Wanbaoshan headquarters.
An elderly man with white hair and beard, looking at his disciple handing over a ring, frowned and said unhappily, "What kind of treasure is this? You can't even appraise it with your level of expertise. I must personally appraise it?"
The chief appraiser at Wanbaoshan headquarters is a remarkably talented grandmaster of weapon crafting, at the immortal level. Aside from occasionally crafting magical artifacts customized by high-ranking members of large tribes, Wanbaoshan rarely needs to bother with these trivial appraisal matters.
After all, he is already an immortal; how could he not have a few personal disciples and nominal disciples?
“Master, this matter is extremely complicated. If we can truly determine where it came from, I think we need to report it to Ancestor Tianhu.” The black-haired middle-aged man knew his master’s temper and tried his best to explain.
"Hmm." Upon hearing that it might require alerting the Celestial Fox Ancestor, the hunched old man immediately became serious, accepted the ring, and then used his divine sense to examine it.
In less than three breaths, the old man opened his eyes with a solemn expression and looked at his disciple, saying, "These divine ore source stones do indeed carry the aura unique to the mineral deposits of the Divine Ore Continent, without a doubt."
Although the old man was an immortal, he did not want to ask too many questions. After giving his answer, he handed the ring to his disciple and said, "This matter is not small. You should report it to Ancestor Tianhu immediately."
"Yes, Master."
When the middle-aged man with black hair learned that the 20 million divine ore source stones here really came from the Divine Ore Continent, he was immediately shocked.
Given his position at the Wanbaoshan headquarters, he was qualified to know about the calamities that had occurred in the Nalan Clan's mining area on the Divine Mine Continent.
It was precisely because of this incident that the Celestial Fox Ancestor ordered an investigation more than once. He thought it would be a task as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, but unexpectedly, a transaction payment tonight did catch his attention.
Only after asking did they find out who the big spender in that transaction was.
"Chen Xuan... Chen Xuan, it's Chen Xuan again. Could he be the culprit who broke the balance of the Divine Mine Continent?"
As the man thought to himself, he soon arrived at the door of a separate pavilion on the top floor of Wanbao Mountain.
"Qu Yang, there is something important to report to the Ancestor."
After he finished speaking, the attic door slowly opened.
Early in the morning.
In the imperial capital, inside His Majesty's study in his temporary palace.
Cultivators have long transcended the level of mortal life, and the cycle of day and night has no effect on them.
The Heavenly Fox was sitting cross-legged in front of a table, cultivating. Suddenly, she slowly opened her eyes and immediately transformed into a white thread, flying towards her master.
At this moment, His Majesty, dressed in golden robes, is probably not the real person. He is studying the contents of a jade slip.
"Master, it seems there's a clue about the theft from the Divine Mine Continent." Tianhu'er gracefully landed on the long table and looked at her master softly.
Upon hearing this, His Majesty put down the jade slip and looked at the spirit beast with some surprise, asking, "Where is it? Who is it? What is its strength?"
Upon hearing this, Tianhu smiled and with a flick of her wrist, a ring appeared in her hand. She then handed it to her master, saying, "Your Majesty, look at these divine mineral source stones."
After His Majesty took it and examined it with his divine sense, he immediately confirmed that it was the batch that Nalan had lost.
"As for the clues..." Tianhu'er looked at her master, unsure of what to say. "It was a junior in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm who was discovered after taking 20 million catties of source stones to buy a batch of treasures in Wanbao Mountain."
Serving one's master requires dedication. Speaking of which, Hu'er produced another list, which contained the large amount of money Chen Xuan had purchased the previous night.
"These are all treasures used by those at the Nascent Soul Realm, but how can someone at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm obtain source stones from the Divine Mine Continent?" His Majesty frowned as he analyzed.
“Master, this person is named Chen Xuan. He is a disciple of a sect called Jiutian Xuanqing Palace in Qingtian City. He has just broken through to the Yuan Shen realm in the last ten years. Moreover, this little guy is quite interesting.”
At His Majesty's level, once a clue appears, it means that something can definitely be found out. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to ask, "Interesting?"
