Is that a Wisp?

Krune then made the first offer.

"You've probably heard of my Purple Flame Equipment. I can craft them for your clan. I'm sure that having weapons capable of displaying a power above others would greatly help in the future."

Sopil nodded.

"Indeed. I've heard about your Purple Flame Equipment. However, there is a problem here. Tell me, what should we do with maintenance? You are the only one capable of creating them. Unfortunately, you are the only one capable of repairing them as well."

Krune was taken aback. This was the first time he heard someone talking about repairing his Purple Flame Equipment. However, he understood why. Before he left the Mortal Realm, he had only created equipment for the Divine Stars Level. Those cultivators knew that they would cultivate to higher levels, and Krune's equipment would eventually fall behind their own level. That being said, they didn't mind not repairing them.

However, the Divinity Realm cultivators of the Hure Clan were different. They would take a very long time to cultivate, and many of them would delay their ascension on purpose for even longer. Naturally, they would use Krune's Purple Flame Equipment for a much, much longer time. Chances are that they would indeed break at some point. However, without Krune to use his Purple Flame to repair them, they would be just scraps once that happened.

Immediately, Krune understood that his Purple Flame Equipment might not have as high of a value as he imagined at first. Lani didn't complain about it since he did say that he would ascend soon. The Staff Krune crafted for him would be more than enough for him until then.

"This... What if I make a lot of them? If one breaks, you can use the next one."

Sopil smiled but shook his head.

"You are a blacksmith, so don't tell me that you don't know. There is no such thing as identical equipment. Especially once you reach our cultivation. The commitment you put on it is not the same if you change later. I'm sorry. Your Purple Flame equipment is indeed great, but it's not to the point where we would trade our Heavenly Fragment."

Krune sighed but didn't blame them. After all, he knew that Sopil was telling the truth. Krune had made 102 Flying Shields that looked identical, but he, more than anyone else, could tell how different they are.

Feifei then smiled at Krune as if she was already expecting something like that.

'The Destiny Divine Soul and Heavenly Fragment, huh?'

Krune then gave up offering his Purple Flame Equipment and switched to the Godly Path Realm items.

"In that case, would you like to trade them for Godly Stones?"

Sopil, who had been smiling so far, suddenly froze in place.

"What did you say?"

"Godly Stones. Other than my Purple Flame Equipment, I can only think about giving these things."

Of course, Krune also had other things, but he preferred to use the most abundant one he had.

"This... how many are we talking about? No, first of all, how did you get them? I heard that you can find those in the Holy Land, but no one should be able to bring them out. Could it be..."

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

"Who else other than Wally could have them? He's someone from the Higher Realms, after all. He has no use for these stones, so he gave me a lot of them. Since Clan Leader Sopil has no interest in my Purple Flame Equipment, I can only use these things instead."

Sopil and the other elders around him couldn't help but feel excited. Godly Stones were definitely another matter in itself. Not only could they keep some for the next Heavenly Fragment Owner, but they could also use the rest for themselves. It could also be used for other things like trading in the future if necessary. In any case, depending on the number of Godly Stones, it would be worth more than their Heavenly Fragment Alone.

Just as he was pondering, Sopil received a Divine Sense Message.

'Clan Leader, what about we join hands to attack this wisp? He definitely has a lot more Godly Stones than he will offer us. Besides, we would also be able to keep the Heavenly Fragment if we succeed.'

Sure enough, quite a few of them became greedy once they heard that offer.

Sopil had to admit that the idea enticed him. Krune was only in the 4th Stage of the Divinity Realm while they even had Peak Ones guarding the clan. If they attacked together, they could most likely take everything away from Krune. However, Sopil came back to himself and shook his head in the end.

'Out of the question. Did you not hear who gave those Godly Stones to Krune? What if Wally himself comes to take revenge for him?'

'But didn't they say that Wally wouldn't intervene?'

'Idiot! They said that they wouldn't use Wally's name to force us to deliver the Heavenly Fragment. They never said anything about not asking for help in case they were in danger.'

'But... We can simply cover the truth and get rid of their bodies. If Wally really appears and can't find anything, he won't be able to act due to the past agreement, no?'

Sopil snorted after hearing that.

'Are you willing to bet the clan's existence in this bet?'

Immediately, all the elders shut their mouths. Indeed, they got blinded by greed way too much that they forgot the most important point, the clan.

Eventually, Sopil returned his attention to Krune before smiling once more.

"So, my little wisp friend. How many Godly Stones are we talking about here?"

Krune pondered a bit before saying.

"I'm not sure about the price. How about Clan Leader Sopil gives his offer instead? If it's reasonable, I might just accept directly."

Sopil then looked at the other elders, and they immediately began to discuss the issue. In the past, some of them had also entered the Holy Land after paying the Dalin Universe Alliance's price. Naturally, they had at least seen or even used a Godly Stone.

What they didn't know was that those Godly Stones in the Holy Land were of the worst type. Fortunately, many of Krune's dishes accepted them as payment, so he really got a lot during his time working as a Spiritual Chef. Krune could use his higher quality ones, but he decided that it would be better to keep them hidden unless he had no other choice.

"What about 1000 Godly Stones? Don't say that we are asking for too much. After all, Godly Stones are consumables. As for the Heavenly Fragment, it is eternal as long as its owners survive. Besides, we don't have the Holy Land to give support either."

Feifei immediately intervened before Krune could answer.

"It's too much. Make it 500."

Even though Krune had mountains of those ordinary Godly Stones, there was no need to let others know. By doing a bit of bargaining, it would look like Krune wasn't as rich as he really is. That could already save them from a lot of problems.

"500 is too little as well. 900!"

Feifei shrugged her shoulders.

"I can see where it is going already. In the end, we will just reach a middle term. Alright, 750 Godly Stones, but we won't add even a single stone after that. If you don't accept, then Krune and I will just leave. As mentioned before, we won't use Wally's name to threaten you, so don't worry."

Sopil smiled before nodding. In fact, he would have accepted 500. However, he would definitely bargain for as much as possible. Getting 750 was already more than welcome.

"Deal! However, I want to make one thing clear. Other than the people in this room, I don't want anyone else to know about the Godly Stones we got. We aren't afraid of anyone, but we don't want to have trouble knocking on our door either."

Krune immediately nodded.

"No problem. I also would have asked for the same thing since Ownerless Heavenly Fragments are just too hard to find."

Krune didn't waste time and took out a spare Spatial Ring. Soon after, he transferred 750 of the common Godly Stones inside before throwing them to Sopil.

Sopil then checked the ring as his eyes lit up.

"Very good! Please wait here. We were expecting to use that Heavenly Fragment far, far in the future, so we put many restrictions on it so that no mishaps would happen until there. It will take some time to remove them all."

Krune and Feifei didn't mind and simply nodded.

As Sopil was gone, Krune and Feifei talked about their next destination.

'Where can we find more Ownerless Heavenly Fragments?'

Krune checked the information Cinty gave him in the communicator before saying.

'The next one is located in the Sufrot Universe. Different from Caxton, Sufrot is controlled by a single power alone. What do you think? Will they try to attack us for the Godly Stones?'

Feifei shook her head.

'I don't know. Did you forget that Divination on Heavenly Fragment Owners is useless? I can only use it on nearby objects and people to see the side effects. I'll give it a try once we visit Sufrot later.'

Krune nodded as he held Feifei's hand. In the end, it took an entire day for Sopil to come back with the Heavenly Fragment. That showed just how powerful the restriction put over it was.

"Here you go. We don't know which type this Fragment is, so you will need to test it by yourself."

Krune nodded before taking it. Soon after, he started the absorption process. Whether it was a Heavenly Fragment he had or not, he would know straight away.
