X-Dragon Era

In fact, the one who should be more afraid of the other party having regrets is Xin Yun himself. Right now, the Fiery Shuttle is already equivalent in value to the three Yinsha needles; once its true functions are developed, its value could increase tenfold.

If it falls into the hands of someone suitable, it's not just 300,000 that they would be willing to pay—fearing 3 million wouldn't be out of the question.

The most significant feature of the Fiery Shuttle right now is its high hardness and extreme sharpness. Once all its functions are unlocked, its power will be unmatched. It is very similar to a hand grenade from Earth—after striking its target, it would explode, causing a secondary level of damage, which is actually the most devastating.

Both the Yinsha needles and the Fiery Shuttle can be used by anyone, but if the wielder's attributes are compatible, their power will be greatly amplified. Take the Fiery Shuttle for example; if used by a Common Warrior, it could still unleash considerable power, but if a Martial Artist of the Fire Series were to use it, the power unleashed would increase exponentially!

However, strictly speaking, that guy didn't get too bad of a deal. It's pretty obvious… that guy was so excited and impatient because his attributes must be compatible with the Yinsha needles; otherwise, why would he be so nervous over a seemingly fair trade?

Carefully placing the Fiery Shuttle into a leather pouch, Xin Yun left the Yi Bao Market satisfied and returned to the inn. There, he took out the Fiery Shuttle and studied it carefully.

If it had been his previous life, there's no way he would have parted with this treasure, knowing that... in his last life, Xin Yun had chosen a Fire Series dragon, and the energy within his body was also of the Fire Series. Should he have acquired this dart, its power would have been immense.

In the hands of a Martial Artist of another series, the Fiery Shuttle would be no more than a hand grenade, but once it reaches a Fire Series Martial Artist, it would definitely be akin to a rocket launcher, capable of unleashing destructive power far beyond their own strength.

Of course, everything has its limits. Judging from the shiny silver color of this Fiery Shuttle, it should be of Silver Level, able to be fitted with any silver-grade dragon crystal. In the hands of a Fire Series Martial Artist of Silver Level, it could unleash power at the Gold Level!

After a brief examination, Xin Yun set the Fiery Shuttle right side up and silently channeled his inner strength into it. In an instant... one end of the dart split into three sections and opened up, revealing a retractable setting slot. Seeing this, Xin Yun took out a silver one yuan One Star Fire Series Demon Crystal reserved in his bosom and embedded it gently.

Truth be told, while the Fiery Shuttle is powerful, it is rather wasteful; a dragon crystal can only be used once, and it's consumed completely after detonation. To use it again, another crystal must be loaded.

But the dart is truly formidable. Although it uses a silver-grade dragon crystal, it can damage a Gold Grade dragon. If used for hunting, it's definitely worthwhile, considering that... a Gold Grade dragon crystal costs a hundred times more than silver-grade ones!

As the dragon crystal was embedded, the setting slot retracted automatically, and the opened dart also swiftly closed back up, returning to its sharp form. However, light of a fiery red hue now seeped through the seams on the surface of the dart!

Pleased, Xin Yun put away the Fiery Shuttle. There would be no problem with the entry ticket for the Treasure Exchange Convention—there were still four or five days left, and he couldn't afford to waste them. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xin Yun continued to refine the energy within the Dragon Ball.

Although he was currently ahead of Yi Luo Xiang, that girl's talent and aptitude were freakish, and with the upcoming Nine Grade Dragon Ball in her grasp, if he didn't want to be quickly caught up to and then swiftly overtaken, he had to work hard.

In the following days, A-Da came back several times, preventing Xin Yun from being able to concentrate on his cultivation. Finally, with no other option, Xin Yun simply told A-Da to return after a month and not to come back every day and disturb him during this period.

By now, A-Da had amassed over 4,000 gold pieces in his possession. Just for the sake of enjoyment, he could find the most beautiful women, and at this point... the guy was so happy he had forgotten home and duty. When Xin Yun made his request, A-Da agreed without hesitation.

Time slowly passed, and finally... the day of the Treasure Exchange Convention was nearly upon them. Reluctantly, Xin Yun had to halt his cultivation temporarily. He took the Fiery Shuttle with him to the venue of the Treasure Exchange Convention to handle the admission formalities.

As an item valued over a million, and possibly up to 3 million, obtaining a pass was absolutely no issue for the owner of the Fiery Shuttle. After a quick and simple procedure, Xin Yun effortlessly acquired his admission pass.

Early the next morning, Xin Yun arrived at the market with the Fiery Shuttle, found his own stall based on the number written on his entry slip, and Yi Luo Xiang came along, too, helping Xin Yun look after the stall while Xin Yun sat with his eyes half-closed, continuing his work on condensing magical artifacts.

Although the Treasure Exchange Convention had already started, in fact, the entire event would last for a month; during these initial stages, people were reluctant to bring out their best items. It was only in the latter half of the month that the true treasures and major customers would make their appearance.

While the Fiery Shuttle was sufficient for entry, it was frankly insignificant at the Treasure Exchange Convention. How much appeal could an item possess that merely met the entry requirements?

In reality, if the treasures of the Treasure Exchange Convention were classified into ten grades, then Xin Yun's Fiery Shuttle would be considered a mere First Grade trifle, and the Nine Grade Dragon Ball, while still in the ninth spot, only the legendary Divine Artifacts or the Azure Sea gem that Xin Yun had used, qualify for Tenth Grade!

Although no so-called Divine Artifact appeared in this edition of the convention, a Nine Grade Dragon Creation Stone was already the highest achievement. However, the difficulty of trading a First Grade treasure for a Ninth Grade one was virtually impossible; even for the reincarnated Xin Yun, it was an arduous task that more often relied on luck.

At the Treasure Exchange Convention, everyone was given a stall that was two meters long and one meter wide. Behind their stall, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang sat side by side, as a single, lonely Fiery Shuttle lay on the counter. Looking over the entire market, Xin Yun's stall was undoubtedly the most shabby.

Beside the Fiery Shuttle, Xin Yun had placed a piece of parchment. The message on it was clear: trade with a Gold-grade treasure, or make a direct purchase for 3 million gold; otherwise, don't even open your mouth.

Elsewhere, someone might actually pay the 3 million gold, especially a Fire Series Martial Artist, but this was different—this was the Treasure Exchange Convention. With a glut of treasures available, the attraction of the Fiery Shuttle, even though priced at its limit, had sunk to the lowest depths.

For three consecutive days, Xin Yun would hurry to the market, but just sit there calmly, focusing on his Dragon Ball. Yi Luo Xiang, too, would come along every day, yet the visitors were few and far between, and the occasional haggler would be turned away decisively by Yi Luo Xiang.

Finally, after a week had gone by, and having experienced such an extended period of neglect, Yi Luo Xiang began to feel a little discouraged. Seeing this, Xin Yun calmly looked at her and asked, "What's the matter? Feeling discouraged? Think there's no hope?"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang did not attempt to hide anything and nodded dejectedly. Seeing Yi Luo Xiang's downcast appearance, Xin Yun sighed, understanding that, no matter how intelligent she was now, she was still just a child who hadn't experienced many things and was becoming disheartened.

Xin Yun smiled and said, "Yi Luo… no matter the circumstance, never be discouraged, and never give up. Regardless of how adverse the situation is, we must strive. As long as we put in enough effort, everything will eventually turn out well."

"Really? Will it really get better?" Yi Luo Xiang asked half in doubt upon hearing Xin Yun's words.

Smiling and nodding affirmatively, Xin Yun said with conviction, "I know you don't believe it, but... watch carefully. Starting from today, I will prove it to you with facts." With that said, Xin Yun, full of confidence, turned around and hurried to the site of the Treasure Exchange Convention.

Watching Xin Yun's confident demeanor, Yi Luo Xiang's eyes blurred with bewilderment. This man was truly mysterious. Despite her rational disbelief, ever since she had come into contact with him, no matter what he said, however astonishing or seemingly impossible, everything always came true in the end!

Up to this day, her belief in Xin Yun's words bordered on superstition. Even if Xin Yun claimed that gold would fall from the sky tomorrow, she would believe it and immediately mount a dragon to wait for the windfall.

Despite her reluctance, Yi Luo Xiang knew that if Xin Yun continued to be this astute, it wouldn't be long before she became one of those who blindly believed in him, unquestioning of anything he said. She just hoped that in doing so, she wouldn't lose herself.
