Chapter 2850
Cloud was seething with anger, his body trembling as he stared coldly at Jared. Through gritted teeth,he threatened, “Kid, just you wait. Once you leave Jipsdale, I’ll take your life.”
“I look forward to that,” Jared responded with a faint smile before turning and entering the living hall.Others followed suit. Many now cast curious glances at Jared. They wondered about his identity andwhy Hester would openly favor him.
After all, Jared was just a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm. He was not really thatpowerful. They wondered if he could be related to Hester in some way as well.
“Hello there, I’m Beau Yule. Are you here to buy a treasure map too?” A burly man with a large swordstrapped to his back approached Jared. Jared nodded. “Indeed.”
“I’m not sure whether the treasure map is real or fake, but I’ve heard that the Archaic Body cultivatorsdo possess a treasure. If you’re planning to seek the treasure, perhaps we can team up,” Beauproposed. “You see, the far north is sparsely populated, with harsh conditions and frequent demonbeast sightings. Moreover, many Demonic Cultivators hide out in those remote areas. With your currentcultivation level, even if you find the treasure, it’ll be difficult for you to defend them.”
Beau actively sought an alliance with Jared. Jared understood that Beau’s intention to ally with him waslikely influenced by Hester’s attitude toward himself.
Otherwise, why would a cultivator at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm seek an alliance with cultivators oflower levels? It would only be burdensome.
However, Jared wasn’t keen on forming alliances with anyone. In Ethereal Realm, he couldn’t easilytrust strangers, as anyone could succumb to the allure of personal gain.
“I’m sorry, I haven’t decided to search for the treasure yet. I’m just here to take a look,” Jared said witha casual smile.
“Oh, I see. In that case, never mind,” Beau replied in disappointment and returned to his seat. At thismoment, a tall figure entered the room, wearing a mask. With a bow, the figure addressed the group,saying, “Apologies for keeping you all waiting!”
Jared gave the man a quick once-over before shrouding him with his spiritual sense. The man seemedto be suppressing his aura on purpose, as Jared’s spiritual sense couldn’t discern anything.
Jared strengthened his spiritual sense, this time detecting a trace of the aura of an Archaic Bodycultivator emanating from the man. This confirmed that Vasker was indeed an Archaic Body cultivatorand was not lying about his identity.
Vasker sensed someone probing him and turned his gaze toward the people in the living hall. Realizingthis, Jared swiftly withdrew his spiritual sense and feigned a calm look.novelbin
After glancing around, Vasker could not identify who had probed him and decided to let it go. Hebegan, “I believe you all have come here for the treasure map. Since it’s our first meeting, let meintroduce myself. I’m Vasker from the far north, and I’m a member of the Archaic Body Cultivation clan.Many of you might have heard that our predecessors buried a treasure long ago. After all these years,its location has faded from memory. However, I possess the treasure map for this treasure. Due to itsage, the map is incomplete, but it still shows the general direction.”
He added, “My treasure map is priced at one hundred million spirit coins per piece. Whether you canfind the treasure using the map or not depends on your luck. Don’t ask me about the authenticity of themap. If you believe in me, pay for the map. Otherwise, just leave. I won’t force anyone to believe meand buy it.”
Vasker sounded arrogant even though his face was hidden by a mask. He acted as if his treasure mapwas in no danger of going unsold.
