Chapter 1083: The Deal Regarding the Divine Brush

Zhou Mingdao glanced at the platform in the chamber and discovered that not a single sheet of talisman paper was left. He spoke quickly, “True Immortal Little Shang, please hold on for a moment. I will immediately get someone to bring 15 sheets of rank six talisman paper over...”

Actually, Zhou Mingdao didn’t know that Shang Xia completed the talismans required long before he used up the talisman paper. If he learned that Shang Xia also managed to make 3 Six Harmony Teleportation Talismans, who knew what he would think?

Shang Xia chuckled in response, “Deputy Pavilion Master, there’s no need to be in such a rush. Now that I’ve completed the talismans as required, I wonder where Pavilion Master Tong is. I wish to thank him for the trust he placed in me.”

The smile on Zhou Mingdao’s face remained and no one could tell what he was thinking. He muttered, “This... I am very sorry. I’m afraid even the Pavilion Master didn’t expect that you would be able to craft the required talismans in such a short amount of time. He entered seclusion back then and instructed me not to disturb him under any circumstances...”

Shang Xia revealed an awkward smile and he mumbled, “I see... Actually... I was thinking about asking about the deal with the divine brush Pavilion Master Tong mentioned back then...”

A look of realization appeared on his face and Zhou Mingdao broke out into a huge grin, “Oh! That’s why you wanted to look for the Pavilion Master! True Immortal Little Shang, you can rest assured. The Pavilion Master has already given me his instructions. He also wishes to ask if you feel comfortable using it?”

Shang Xia seemed to understand the hidden meaning behind the question Tong Yutang wanted to ask and he chuckled happily, “Of course! I feel very comfortable using it!”

Zhou Mingdao seemed to have expected the answer and he laughed, “Actually, this is the divine brush Pavilion Master Tong would trade with you after the deal was done.”

Regaining his calm, Shang Xia asked in a low voice, “How did Pavilion Master Tong wish to carry out the trade?”

“Pavilion Master Tong proposed 2 methods. The first was to invite True Immortal Little Shang to our Starry Pavilion to serve as a resident Talisman Grandmaster. The service period will be for 20 years and we will request for you to craft any talismans during your time here as long as it’s within your abilities. When the time is up, this brush will belong to you.”

Actually, the first condition proposed wasn’t exactly harsh. After all, that was a divine grade talisman brush they were talking about. They weren’t going overboard by asking for 20 years of service.

Shang Xia didn’t even bother considering it as he continued to ask, “What is the other method?”

Zhou Mingdao seemed to know that there wasn’t much possibility of Shang Xia accepting the first condition and he quickly brought out a list from his sleeves to explain, “The second method is to use the treasures listed here to trade for the brush.”

Shang Xia casually looked through the list and noticed that there might be a ton of rank four and five spiritual herbs, but he knew that they weren’t too precious. However, he could tell that most of them were specialty products that could only be found in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

After falling silent for some time, Shang Xia made some amendments to the list before handing it back to Zhou Mingdao. “Deputy Patriarch Zhou, what do you think of this new proposed list?”

Glancing at the changes Shang Xia made, Zhou Mingdao kept the list quickly and laughed, “Of course it’s possible! However, if our Starry Pavilion runs into any problem when crafting talismans in the future, we hope that True Immortal Little Shang will lend a hand when the time comes. Of course, we will give you sufficient compensation.”

Seeing as the other party wasn’t making things difficult for him, Shang Xia also chuckled in response, “Deputy Pavilion Master Zhou, you’re too kind. Even though I can’t say that I’ll be at your beck and call, I won’t reject the request as long as I have the time and can fulfill it.”

He paused for a second before he continued, “As for the resources on the list, I will try to gather them as quickly as possible. When the time comes, they will naturally head over to complete the deal!”

After Shang Xia left the Starry Pavilion, he not only had an additional Silver Branch Star Splendor Brush on him, but he also had 3 extra Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman and 15 sheets of rank six talisman paper. He also brought along several rank six talisman ink sticks.

Before leaving the city, Shang Xia decided to meet Feng Ziying once more.

“Do you have news about the Star Ship or those of the Seventh Camp?” Shang Xia smiled and asked the moment they met.

Feng Ziying shook his head in response. “Recently, the main focus of our Star Origin Guards have been placed on Feng Ziyuan and her breakthrough. No one really cared about the Seventh Camp’s actions. Rather... Seventh Camp Commander Xing Xingtian has been holed up in the Star Observatory the entire time and rarely meets anyone.”

Shang Xia nodded slightly and continued to ask, “Where is the Star Observatory of the Star Origin Guards?”

Instead of replying immediately, Feng Ziying shot him a deep glance and carefully examined Shang Xia before asking in a serious tone, “What are you up to? The Star Observatory is located in a heavily fortified region in the city and even though there aren’t any Martial Void Realm True Immortals stationed there, it’s not a place you can easily infiltrate and scope out as you wish...”

Shang Xia burst into laughter, “You’re thinking too much into it. I won’t poke the whiskers of the Star Origin Guards for fun.”

Feng Ziying nodded slowly and muttered, “That would be for the best! The location of the Star Observatory is no secret in Star Origin City. Actually, there’s a solitary peak a hundred miles north of the city and it has been modified into a foundation for the Star Observatory. The Seventh Camp stationed 2 squads there all year round and Seventh Camp Commander Xing Xingtian would spend most of his time there.”

After he was done, Feng Ziying turned to look at Shang Xia to continue, “What’s the matter? Have you really set your sights on the secret art Tong Yutang is using to enter the fourth tier?”

Shang Xia shook his head slowly and changed the topic suddenly, “You might not know this yet, but our institution already has our own Star Observatory!”

After he was done, he gave a simple explanation on how the Tongyou Elysium had a Star Observatory as their Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar. He also explained how they had 2 rank three Astronomers and they could even use the Star Observatory with help from the Elysium.

“Hoh! You’re not plotting against Tong Yutang! You’re setting your sights on Xing Xingtian!” Feng Ziying chuckled.

“I know it’s going to be difficult, but I can only ask you to help keep an eye on things here. It’s especially so for the various shops in the city. If anything regarding records or inheritances regarding Stargazers were to leak, please inform me as soon as you can...” Shang Xia asked.

Feng Ziying shook his head immediately. “How can shops in the city ever possess things like that? Even if it appears, they will definitely be snatched up the moment they appear. Even the Star Origin Guards wouldn’t be enough to stop them from doing anything.”

After a short pause, Feng Ziying continued, “The really good stuff which is a little difficult to take out will never be seen in those shops... You should start looking at the black market if you wish to find stuff like that.”

“Black market?” Shang Xia gasped. “Is there a black market in Star Origin City? Wouldn’t the Star Origin Guards do something about it?”

Feng Ziying raised an eyebrow and asked in a strange voice, “Is it really strange for there to be a black market in Star Origin City? If the Star Origin Guards can gain control over the black market, it would be far better than eradicating it completely!”

Nodding, Shang Xia sighed, “Since that’s the case, please introduce me to the rules of the black market. In the future, members of the institution will head over to try their luck.”
