Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 141

"This is Marvin Stone from secluded families, at the Semi-Divinity Phase. He's the initiator of this conference!"

Alan explained to Jacob from the side.

On the way back from the Triangle Region, Jacob asked him a lot of questions. He knew that Jacob didn't know much about secluded families.

Jacob nodded.

"At this conference, we follow the playbook as usual. Take turns to display our things, and then report our needs."

Marvin continued, "Any questions?"

The attendees were all the younger generations of the secluded families. Most of them had more or less participated in previous conferences. Even if a few of them were inexperienced, their elders or siblings had told them about it.

Jacob was the only newbie.

However, this kind of event was very common in the universe, and Jacob was no stranger to it.

Seeing that no one had doubts, Marvin immediately said, "Since no question was raised, then our Mount G Exchange Conference begins now!"

"Let me throw a sprat to catch a whale." As Marvin spoke, he took out a pitch-black object. "I obtained this ink essence from an ancient monument. It is an excellent material for forging artifact, especially high-grade puppets. It is rare in this world. I hope I can get an offensive magical artifact in return."

Marvin explained.

Although it was meant for everyone, he gazed fixedly on the trio from Heavenly Pavilion.

They were the focus for most of the others, not just for Marvin.

The Pharmacy Pavilion was responsible for pill refinement.

Heavenly Pavilion, on the other hand, was an intelligence agent and arsenal.

There weren't many offensive magical artifacts throughout China, so they were extremely precious.

If one had one piece, he wouldn't trade it.

Moreover, even though those who knew about the ink essence knew its value, it was useless for most people. Only Heavenly Pavilion was able to make the best use of it.

Upon hearing the word "magical artifacts", Jacob got excited.

Could there really be Magic Treasures on Earth?

Didn't that mean the existence of cultivation civilization?

Jacob also looked at the trio.

They found themselves in the limelight.

The young man leading the other two smiled, "Marvin, ink essence is precious, but we have some in Heavenly Pavilion. Offensive magical artifacts are even rarer. If you want to exchange it for that, you need to give at least two more pieces of the same size."

This young man was Michael Carter, the successor to Heavenly Pavilion.

"Michael, ink essence is rare in this world. It's difficult to find two more." Marvin laughed. He already had the answer and was not disappointed. "I only have this piece. I don't expect a perfect artifact. A semi-offensive one will do."

The semi-offensive magical artifact wasn't for both offensive and defensive purposes.

It was a semi-finished weapon.

It possessed some degree of power, yet far inferior to finished artifacts.

However, bearing the name of a magical artifact, it was, of course, way better than ordinary weapons.

"A semi-offensive magical artifact is fine." Michael pondered for a moment before replying.

After all, most of magical artifacts in the world were semi-finished.

Now in China, only the Pavilion Master and the Supreme Pavilion Master of Heavenly Pavilion were capable of making them.

Every piece demanded enormous effort. Especially in the case of making offensive ones, it would take several months. Those with great power even took a year. How invaluable!

"If possible, I want a saber or a sword." Marvin continued.

Michael nodded. "What a coincidence. I have a semi-magical saber with me."

As he spoke, he took out saber from his belt.

All eyes were burning with excitement. As the successor, Michael must have many other magical artifacts in his storage belt. Unfortunately, even secluded families didn't dare to offend Heavenly Pavilion.

Otherwise, if Heavenly Pavilion were to pursue it and cut off the supply of magical artifacts to the offender's family thereafter, then the family would perish.

Michael showed his saber and exchanged it with Marvin.

When Marvin took it, a trembling sound came from it.

When Zhen Qi was absorbed by it, a cold light could be seen with the naked eye.

It chilled the air around.

Marvin was overjoyed on the spot and looked satisfied.

There was a flicker of disappointment in Jacob's eyes while others' eyes blazed with envy.

What kind of bullshit magical artifact was this?

Even the shoddiest Magic Treasure in the universe was much better than this.

In Cultivation World of the universe, such a thing would be a burden to those cultivators.

The deal between Marvin and Michael made a great start for the conference.

Next, others started to take out their objects in order, and then announced what they wanted.

Some succeeded while others were disappointed.

However, all the items there were considered precious by most participants.

However, to Jacob, there were very few useful things.

It wasn't until Lance's turn that Jacob got interested again.

It turned out that Lance took out a plant of Saussurea Involucrate which stood out from the rest. "Today, I came here just for a battle. If anyone can beat me, the Saussurea Involucrate will be his."

As soon as Lance said it, people quieted.

It was known that Lance was a martial arts lunatic, and his obsession with it was almost ridiculous.

His talent was incomparable.

It might sound like an overstatement to say that at this moment, those below the Divinity Phase were no match for him.

But it was close.

In China, just a few at the Semi-Divinity Phase could fight him.

"Of course, not everyone is welcome. At the very least, a precious medicine that I appreciate should be presented as a wager." Lance added frankly.

A knowing smile flashed across Jacob's face.

There was something familiar to this.

In the same way, Miyamoto's efforts ended up as a windfall for Jacob.

However, Lance couldn't be thinking about tricking anyone. After all, everyone knew how powerful he was.

His request was more of bait to those who knew that they were no match for him but wanted to try their luck.

After Lance finished speaking, he seemed to have realized that he was ferocious.

Then he added another condition, "If anyone can hurt me, he can take a petal of the Saussurea Involucrate."

"Lance, despite my remarkable gift, I can't claim that I'll win. However, I am confident that I can do you some harm if I try my best. After the conference, count me in."

After him, many expressed their willingness to fight Lance.

Lance agreed.

As an immediate descendant of the Lewin family, and with talent in martial arts, he never lacked resources.

He just wanted to find some opponents and fight!

This was the reason he came here.

Afterwards, Lance turned his gaze at Jacob.

Jacob was a surprise for him at the conference.

He wanted to bring Jacob home to help his younger brother break the Soul Contract.

Jacob noticed his gaze and smiled even more brightly.

At the same time, Jacob looked at the crowd with a strange expression in his eyes.

Soon, it was Jacob's and Lena's turn.

Lena was only here today to have a taste of the conference for secluded families and gain a knowledge of them, so that she could manage the Bell family better later.

She had nothing to exchange.

Jacob had a smile on his face.

He was thinking about those people's enthusiasm for magical artifacts just now for a while.

Jacob reached out and grabbed the pitch-black Purgatory Sword.

Jacob said, "This is a real offensive magical artifact!"

After saying that, Jacob slashed it in the air.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot straight into the sky!
