Asura Mad Emperor

"How ridiculous, a mere mortal dares to dream of crossing the void! The Sea Beast would eat him first. He's lucky enough to have made it out of Redview City alive, let alone entertain the thought of going to Nanchi Continent—ridiculous fantasies."

Liu Wan prattled on, preparing to shoo away the little beggar.

"How much is ten thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals? I can try to gather that amount."

The little beggar pursed his lips, his eyes brimming with tears as he spoke cautiously.

He was just a ten-year-old boy from the Mortal World who had never been exposed to the world of cultivators. In his understanding, Mysterious Crystals were already extremely precious treasures; as for Purple Mysterious Crystals, he had never even heard of them.

"Gather? Do you really think you can gather that much?" Liu Wan snorted as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world, glancing at him, "In your lifetime, even if you start collecting from the moment you're born until you're buried, you won't be able to gather a single Purple Mysterious Crystal."

"I have one Mysterious Crystal here, I don't know how much more I need!" the little beggar said, unwilling to give up, as he pulled out a Mysterious Crystal from his bosom.

The Mysterious Crystal he held had a dull luster, with half of its Spiritual Power already absorbed; it could not be called a full Mysterious Crystal, but rather a half Mysterious Crystal.

"Get lost, little brat. Are you trying to mock me?"

Liu Wan waved his hand impatiently, about to drive the little beggar away.

The little beggar still hid behind the wall, sticking out a small head, his eyes filled with hesitation and confusion.

After a long moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and from his bosom, he produced a waist token that flickered with Spiritual Energy.

"Senior, I have this."

The waist token was broken, but it still flickered with a misty Spiritual Energy. This energy meandered over the broken token, looking rather sacred.

"Eh, this Jade Token does have some Spiritual Energy," Liu Wan said, his eyes sparkled as he waved his hand, and the Jade Token flew into his grasp.

The Jade Token was fractured, and one could see that the remaining half bore a cross—it was likely part of a surname.

"Little fellow, where did you get this thing from?" he asked.

This Jade Token still retained the aura of a Supreme Saint Expert; it was not something mundane.

Liu Wan became somewhat interested, and his tone lost its previous hostility, asking with curiosity.

"It's an ancestral relic from my family," the little beggar replied, hoping for a chance, his eyes brightening as he spoke clearly.

"An ancestral relic!" Liu Wan gave an odd look to the beggar. A relic of the Supreme Saint, if inherited, should belong to a family of cultivators. This youngster should also be a cultivator and not some kid from the Mortal World.

"Senior, can this Jade Token be exchanged for ten thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals?" the little beggar asked.

This Jade Token only had a trace of a Supreme Saint Expert's aura, and within that aura, there was no legacy or Divine Sense Seal, it was simply a token, although the material was still decent.

Even so, the token was only worth, at most, one Purple Mysterious Crystal.

And since the token was broken, only half remained, so it could only be valued at several thousand Mysterious Crystals at most.

"No, you're still far off," Liu Wan said after inspecting the Jade Token in his hand for a while before tossing it back to him. He wasn't so low as to covet a little beggar's Jade Token.

"This... isn't enough either..." the little beggar said, eyes filled with disappointment.

This was the most precious thing he could offer.

The little beggar put away the Jade Token, his spirits dampened, preparing to leave.

At that moment, Qinchuan spoke up from the side.

"I will cover this little guy's Mysterious Crystal," Qinchuan stepped forward, saying out loud.

"Having one more child on the Crossing Boat shouldn't be an issue, right?"

"You're helping him get Mysterious Crystals to go to the Nanchi Continent?"

"Dear guest, you're not joking, are you?"

Liu Wan looked at Qinchuan incredulously. After all, Qinchuan was a major customer, so he asked cautiously.

With a grand gesture, another Storage Bag flew from Qinchuan's hand to Liu Wan.

Landing in Liu Wan's hands, his Divine Sense swept over it, looking at a dazzling purple, another ten thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals.

He was certain, Qinchuan was not joking.

He immediately chuckled and said, "No impact at all, of course, no impact." His mouth almost split with his smile.

Crossing Boat sailing through the void, taking on an extra child, for him, of course, posed no issue.

"You... you want to help me!"

The little beggar looked at Qinchuan, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, senior! I will definitely repay you in the future!"

It was only then that the little beggar realized what was happening and started kowtowing thump thump thump.

Mana surged from Qinchuan, lifting the little beggar up, and said, "We can talk about repaying me later. For the next few days, you just follow me."

"Yes, senior!"

The little beggar stood up and nodded.

Qinchuan and the others took the little beggar and left the black market.

"Little guy, what's your name, and why do you want to go to the Nanchi Continent?"

After leaving the black market, Ji Huo'er began babbling with questions.

She knew that Qinchuan had a reason for helping this little guy go to the Nanchi Continent.

"My name is Ye Shiyi, and I am going to the Nanchi Continent, to seek vengeance!"

The little beggar, who had been timid and walked with trepidation, seemed used to being fearful, but when he spoke of vengeance, the rage in his eyes was intense, even changing his demeanor.

"Vengeance, who is your enemy?" Ji Huo'er asked further.

"I... I don't know," the little beggar mumbled, looking perplexed.

"Don't know, then how are you going to seek vengeance..." Ji Huo'er pouted.

"Are you from the Nanchi Continent?" Ling Xian'er caught the flaw in the little beggar's words and asked softly.

"Yes," nodded the little beggar. "My mother told me our ancestors belonged to a great Sect in the Nanchi Continent!"

"A great Sect..." Ling Xian'er frowned slightly, sensing the Supreme Saint aura clinging to the Jade Token in the little beggar's hand, indicating indeed that his ancestors were formidable. However, she did not understand how the descendant ended up in such a state.

Being unfamiliar with the powers of the Nanchi Continent, Ling Xian'er didn't know which great Sect the little guy was talking about.

Ling Xian'er and the others didn't know the identity of the Sect Ye Shiyi mentioned, but Qinchuan understood fully well.

The great Sect Ye Shiyi was talking about was their destination, the Spirit Dragon Holy Land.

The moment he saw the half Jade Token, Qinchuan recognized that the cross symbol on it was incomplete; the complete word should be 'Ye'.

And this Ye Shiyi, if not mistaken, must be a descendant of Ye Xuan, whose Jade Token he possessed, once worn by one of Ye Xuan's descendants.

Ye Xuan was once a Holy Master in the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, one of the many followers of Qinchuan.

However, Qinchuan had taken an interest in Ye Shiyi even before he showed the Jade Token because he also noticed the bloodline of the Ghost Race on him.

A descendant of Ye Xuan with the bloodline of the Ghost Race should not be in the same person, yet here he was, appearing in the Mortal World, as a little beggar.

There must be some hidden story behind this, which is why Qinchuan decided to lend a hand.
