“Miss, this is very important to me. Whatever you want, just tell me.”

“Your Ice Soul Stone.” The veiled woman was not surprised by what he had said. She told him her condition straightforwardly.

“You want me to give you an Ice Soul Stone in exchange for the whereabouts of another Ice Soul Stone?” Jiang Chen did not expect her to be so greedy.

“My information is the most valuable thing I have in our transaction.” The veiled woman was not ashamed of her request at all. She said complacently, “If you had another information source, you wouldn’t have come to see me, would you?”

“I can give you a Doctrine Artifact or an immortal elixir in exchange for the information,” Jiang Chen said.

“I’m not interested in the knickknacks of your human race.” The veiled woman refused him decisively.

She called Doctrine Artifacts and immortal elixirs knickknacks. No one else in the world would speak in such a manner.

“So, I guess it’s impossible for us to reach an agreement,” said Jiang Chen.

“What I’m interested in is the Ice Soul Stone.”

“But miss, you would pay so much for an incomplete Ice Soul Stone in the auction. Does it mean the complete Ice Soul Stone whose whereabouts you know is even more difficult to get than this one?”

His words made the veiled woman go silent for a long time. “Master, you are smart, and you are right.”

“Then why should I give you my Ice Soul Stone to get the information of an Ice Soul Stone that I can’t get?” Jiang Chen said.

Shrugging her shoulders, the veiled woman said, “Master, it’s you who want to have this talk with me.”

The room suddenly went silent. Both of them were smart. It was hard for the conversation to continue.

“Master, the human race can’t make full use of the Ice Soul Stone. It’s no more than a spiritual stone in your hand. It’s even less possible for you to build Doctrine Artifacts with it. So, you don’t have to lie to me.” The veiled woman continued, “Tell me what you need it for. And I will tell you the information about the complete Ice Soul Stone. Note, just information.”

Jiang Chen seemed to be persuaded. After remaining silent for a while, he said, “You tell me first.”

“Master, you are very prudent. Okay. I’ll tell you first. The Ice Soul Stone I know about is beyond comparison with this incomplete one. It’s worth thousands of times more than this one. Besides, what matters most is what it represents. It’s not for transactions,” the veiled woman said.

Jiang Chen realized it was impossible to get the complete Ice Soul Stone, but, fortunately, this day he had come with two goals.

“I want to use the Ice Soul Stone to bring a deceased Ice Spirit back to life,” Jiang Chen said.

The veiled woman was struck dumb.

Then she sprang to her feet, completely losing her manners. This did not happen a lot. “To use the Ice Soul Stone to bring a dead Ice Spirit back to life? It’s possible to realize on only one condition! That kind of body...does that Ice Spirit have that kind of body?!”

The veiled woman was completely shocked. Walking back and forth, she said, “It’s impossible! How can such a body appear outside?!” The outside she meant was certainly the Spirit living in the Nine Realms.

“That Ice Spirit won the title Future Spirit Emperor of the Title Palace,” Jiang Chen said.

The veiled woman apparently knew about the Title Palace. “That kind of body won’t be disclosed until one is dead. How did that Ice Spirit die?”

This question was like a thorn in Jiang Chen’s flesh. He tried very hard to cover his emotions, to stay calm on the surface, because he was Master Luo Cheng instead of Jiang Chen at the moment. “That’s not important.” Jiang Chen took the chance to ask, “So, will the incomplete Ice Soul Stone help?”

“No way...” The veiled woman was going to answer him right away, but then she suddenly stopped. Due to her veil, Jiang Chen could not see her facial expression. “Master, even if the Ice Soul Stone you have were complete, it still wouldn’t help you achieve what you want to achieve.” The veiled woman sounded calmer now.

Jiang Chen only half-believed her. He was not sure whether she was lying to him and deliberately belittling the Ice Soul Stone.

“The complete Ice Soul Stone I’ve mentioned, it can help you reach your goal.” The veiled woman went on, “If you really want to bring that dead Ice Spirit back to life, you don’t have to do nothing. Just give the soul to me.”

“That’s impossible!” Jiang Chen refused her immediately.

“The Ice Spirit aren’t more anxious than you for a body like that?”

“Heh, heh, power struggle, internal struggle... They’ve destroyed lots of precious things. I know nothing about you, Ancient Spirit. You want me to give you such an important thing? Dream on!” Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.

“So, would you like to pay the Ancient Spirit a visit with me?!” The words rolled off the tongue of the veiled woman. But then she shook her head immediately. “No. It’s impossible for you to visit the Ancient Spirit now.”

Rolling his eyes, Jiang Chen got to his feet. He said, “So, I guess we won’t reach any agreement this time. Sorry for the disturbance.” He was going to walk out of the room. As he had expected, the veiled woman stopped him.

“Aren’t you with Ye Xue, who has a Spirit heart of supreme level? You can ask her to visit us Ancient Spirits with the soul.”

“I told you, I know nothing about you Ancient Spirits,” Jiang Chen said.

The veiled woman got anxious. She has to come up with one solution soon. Taking out a thumb ring, she was going to give it to him, but she soon realized they were talking through projection. So she said, “I’ll transmit the thumb ring to you. You show it to the woman with the supreme heart and let her make the decision.” Then she let Jiang Chen leave without pressing him to stay again.

Jiang Chen was staggered at her proposal. Then he walked out of the room.

The thumb ring had just been transmitted when he went back to the Sundry Goods Store. Ye Xue was waiting for his news anxiously. She pressed her lips into a thin line after he told her what had happened.

“I won’t let you go. We know nothing about that woman. What if she takes you to the wilderness and kills you to grab the treasure?” Jiang Chen said.

“I want to take a look at the thumb ring,” Ye Xue said after some hesitation.

Jiang Chen sighed and then gave the thumb ring to her.

Ye Xue took the thumb ring and put it on. Suddenly, she looked extremely shocked. She lifted her chin high.

Jiang Chen saw Ye Xue’s eyes light up, as if she had seen something that only belonged to her. That status lasted for a long while. Judging from Ye Xue’s look, Jiang Chen knew she had gotten a lot of information.

“I will pay the Ancient Spirits a visit.” This was the first thing Ye Xue said. According to her, she had seen the world of the Ancient Spirit through the thumb ring. As an Ice Spirit, she was sure it was not fake.

“I’ll go with you,” Jiang Chen said decisively. He had anticipated her reaction.

“Only the Spirits can go to that place now.” Ye Xue shook her head with pity.

Jiang Chen could not rest. He somehow felt the woman was not very trustworthy. It was like allowing a stranger to take your child to a legendary place. However, Ye Xue insisted. And she was going to take the comb with her.

It was where the soul, which the veiled woman had mentioned, was kept.

“Apprentice younger brother, I’ll bring Xue’er back to you,” Ye Xue said.

“I don’t want to lose you as well.” Jiang Chen was feeling a little emotional. Grasping his apprentice elder sister’s arm, he said, “Why can’t I go with you? Is it because there is danger that I, a human, can’t resist?”

Ye Xue answered him with silence.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen had to agree.
