Chapter 2013: Chapter 2013: Overbearing Elder Wilson_1 Chapter 2013: Chapter 2013: Overbearing Elder Wilson_1 Ethan Smith thought Finley Doyle didn't seem too reliable, but right now he had no other choice but to wait for three days.

Soon, Ethan Smith turned and left Finn's shop and began to wander around Divine Fortuity City.

Divine Fortuity City wasn't very big, even slightly cramped, but it had a dazzling array of stores.

Every time Ethan Smith entered a store, he would discover an extraordinary magical artifact.

In the backyards, there were even Master Artifact refiners, busily refining magical artifacts.

It is said that these Master Refiners all come from the Artifact Refining Guild, and their refining skills are extremely powerful.

At this moment, Ethan Smith noticed that there were many people standing at the entrance of a store.

They were gathered around, not sure what they were watching.

Ethan Smith quickly walked over and squeezed into the crowd, making his way to the front.

Soon, Ethan Smith saw a transparent pearl in front of the crowd.

This pearl was incredibly smooth, and deep inside it, there seemed to be a stream of water flowing, making it quite fascinating.

“This pearl is called the Primary Divine Pearl, and it is said to have been inherited from the Primary Immortal Emperor, containing the emperor's endless secrets and treasures. There are even rumors that the Primary Divine Pearl contains the secrets of the Primary Immortal Emperor's enlightenment.” The shopkeeper was enthusiastically promoting the item, attracting the attention of countless people.

Hearing his eloquence, Ethan Smith couldn't help but sneer.

If it really contained the secrets of an emperor's enlightenment, then it would probably attract the attention of everyone in the world, and no one would be foolish enough to sell it.

“Of course, this Primary Divine Pearl is just a replica made by later generations when they watched the Primary Immortal Emperor's enlightenment, but even so, it still carries a hint of the emperor's dao technique.” The shopkeeper suddenly changed the topic, smiling as he spoke.

“The pearl does indeed look extraordinary. I've had the privilege of experiencing the Primary Immortal Emperor's sanctum, and it does have a similar aura.” Someone nearby remarked.

“That's right. It is said that back in the day, Lord Shaw accidentally obtained the real Primary Divine Pearl. After comprehending the dao within, he made twelve replicas for later generations to study.”

“It's rumored that thirty-eight people have attained enlightenment from these Primary Divine Pearls and entered the realm of the True Saints.”

“Thirty-eight people? Aren't there only twelve pearls in total?” Someone nearby asked doubtfully.

“Indeed, there are only twelve, but each one has been passed through multiple hands. Every time one passes through someone's hands, the remaining dao inside becomes weaker, so we can't determine the current value of this pearl.”

After hearing their opinions, Ethan Smith suddenly realized.

Lord Shaw – Ethan Smith had heard this name when he was in Luminous City.

He was a Tribulation Stage Great Cultivator of the Green family and one of the most powerful Tribulation Stage Great Cultivators in history.

“Boss, do you know how many generations this pearl has been passed through?” Someone nearby inquired.

The shopkeeper laughed: “If I knew, would I be selling it?”

“How much do you plan to sell it for?” Someone else asked.

The shopkeeper shook his fingers and said: “There's no fixed price for this item. I will auction it off, and you can offer your own bids.”

“I'll pay three million magic coins.” Someone quickly offered their price.

“Three million? That's really undervaluing this item. I'll pay ten million!”

“I'm willing to pay 50 million!”

“One hundred million!”

Soon, the price was driven up, and Ethan Smith stood silently to the side. He quietly released a strand of divine sense to cover the pearl, trying to discern something from it.

However, as soon as it made contact, the shopkeeper detected it. He glanced at Ethan Smith and said: “You better mind your manners.”

Ethan Smith stuck out his tongue and reluctantly withdrew his divine sense.

The price continued to rise, quickly reaching several billion magic coins.

As the price reached twenty billion magic coins, the crowd grew larger, but fewer people called out bids.

It was evident that these people were not wealthy, and twenty billion was almost their limit.

Ethan Smith calculated the amount of magic coins he had and felt that twenty billion was not an exorbitant price, so he prepared to make a move.

But just then, a commotion arose in the crowd.

Turning around, he saw an elderly man in a white robe walking over, and the surrounding people consciously made way for him.

When Ethan Smith saw this man, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Because this person was none other than Elder Wilson, who he had encountered at the convention not long ago!

“He's here too.” Ethan Smith frowned slightly and quickly hid in the shadows.

With Elder Wilson's abilities, it was very possible that he would recognize Ethan Smith's true identity, so he had no choice but to avoid the confrontation for now.

Elder Wilson's arrival immediately quieted the scene, and some greeted him, only to be ignored by Elder Wilson.

“So it's the Third Elder of the Wilson family gracing us with his presence. I apologize for not coming to welcome you. Please forgive me.” The shopkeeper said sarcastically.

Elder Wilson paid no attention, and instead carefully examined the pearl in front of him.

“Does Elder Wilson have an interest in this item?” The shopkeeper seized the opportunity to inquire.

Elder Wilson glanced at him and then said indifferently, “Do you know the origin of this item?”

The shopkeeper laughed: “Of course, this item was acquired by my ancestor during his travels.”

“Acquired by chance?” Elder Wilson snorted coldly and then said, “This item was once in the hands of my Wilson family's ancestors, but it was lost later! I don't know by what means your ancestor obtained this item, but it belongs to my Wilson family!”

Hearing Elder Wilson's shameless words, the shopkeeper sneered: “If we trace it to the root, I'm afraid this item belongs to the Green family, not your Wilson family, right?”

Elder Wilson was not surprised by the reply. Instead, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said indifferently, “Don't worry, my Wilson family has always been welcoming, so we can give you a generous amount of magic coins.”

“Oh? How much are you willing to pay, Elder Wilson?” The shopkeeper asked.

Elder Wilson held up three fingers and said, “Thirty million magic coins.”

“Thirty million magic coins? Elder Wilson, is there any difference between this and blatant robbery?” The shopkeeper said with a dark face.

Elder Wilson said indifferently, “One shouldn't be too greedy. Thirty million magic coins is already quite a lot, especially since this item originally belonged to my Wilson family.”

Hearing Elder Wilson's shameless words, Ethan Smith couldn't help but secretly curse.

This old bastard was truly shameless!

“Thirty million magic coins, do you want it or not?” Elder Wilson's tone became threatening.

The shopkeeper said coldly, “Thirty billion, and this pearl is yours. Otherwise, no deal!”

At his words, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Elder Wilson.

He said coldly, “Are you sure?”
