Ruorui hurriedly shared her suspicions.
"Hmm?"
The Master of the Eternal Tower frowned, "Merely the master of a small Dust Pavilion in Cangxuan City? Impossible. What was his previous identity?"
"This..." Ruorui replied, "We at the Eternal Tower have no information on his past. It seems like his previous life is a blank slate."
"That makes sense."
The Master of the Eternal Tower's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and he said coldly, "That's the only explanation. How could such a figure emerge from a small place like Cangxuan City?"
"Lord, should we investigate further?"
Ruorui hesitated.
"No need. The principle of our Eternal Tower is to not investigate our guests. If you do so, it violates our rules. If word spreads, how will the Eternal Tower continue its business?
Unless his origins are unclear or he's not a part of the **Demon Tribe**, we at the Eternal Tower should not concern ourselves,"
the Master of the Eternal Tower pondered. "Go and negotiate with him. If we can secure this deal and send this Heavenly Saint Demon Weapon, don't just talk about acquiring three Earth-level Ancient Saint Veins, even acquiring one Heaven-level Ancient Saint Vein is possible."
"Yes, I will negotiate with Qin Chen and make sure everything is taken care of. Please rest assured, Lord."
Ruorui was full of confidence.
"Good. If you successfully handle this matter, I will report your merits to the headquarters, and it will be greatly noted in your record. Go now."
The Master of the Eternal Tower waved his hand, and the passage closed, disappearing from sight.
"What? This Heavenly Saint Demon Weapon is worth three Earth-level Ancient Saint Veins?"
In the conference room, Qin Chen once again saw the hurriedly arriving Ruorui. However, this time, her face no longer carried the initial calmness. Hearing the offer, Qin Chen also fell into deep thought.
Ancient Saint Veins come in many types. From Li Luo's memories, Qin Chen also knew that the Ancient Saint Veins in the Heaven Realm are the strongest resources, classified based on the concentration of Heaven and Earth Holy Qi, size, quality, and so on, into categories like Mortal Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, etc.
The one beneath Cangxuan City is an Earth-level Ancient Saint Vein. Generally, an Earth-level Ancient Saint Vein can nurture a peerless Earth Saint expert.
Of course, there are differences even within the same Earth Grade. The Ancient Saint Vein Qin Chen found in the Yan Luo Secret Realm cave had an aura even above the one beneath Cangxuan City, but it was still just an Earth Grade, still far from a Heaven Grade.
The higher the grade of the Ancient Saint Vein, the better the effect and the greater the value.
As for the Ancient Saint Vein Qin Chen took from under the Yan Luo Saint Lord, that was even more extraordinary. It was definitely at the level of a Saint Lord, able to sustain the operation of a huge secret realm and nourish the growth of the All-realms Demon Tree.
Unfortunately, this Saint Lord-level Ancient Saint Vein had been consumed almost completely through the ages. Especially in nourishing the All-realms Demon Tree, less than one percent of its energy remained. But even so, a Saint Lord-level Ancient Saint Vein couldn't be compared to ordinary Ancient Saint Veins.
With this understanding, it might seem Qin Chen shouldn't be interested in Earth-level Saint Veins.
But in reality, that's not the case.
Because that Saint Lord-level Ancient Saint Vein is too important, currently maintained in the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Disc to sustain its world and the growth of the All-realms Demon Tree. Moreover, the power contained within it is extremely violent. With Qin Chen's current cultivation, once absorbed, it would be difficult to refine, whereas absorbing Earth-level Ancient Saint Veins is optimal.
Most importantly, this Saint Lord-level Ancient Saint Vein has already been largely depleted over endless eons. If Qin Chen were to devour it, once the power is exhausted, it would be troublesome as Qin Chen couldn't find other Saint Veins to replenish it.
