CHAPTER 635: CHAPTER 127: THE BRACELET AND THE STONE

"Lian Lian, you’ve won again, you must have received a considerable sum of prize money this month, right?" the accompanying female Mage spoke flatteringly.

Back when Chen Lianlian was at the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, her beauty and decent strength had already garnered the adoration of many male trainees.

At that time, there were quite a few female trainees who looked down on her.

But ever since she arrived at the Sky Wings Arena, she’s been thriving like a fish in water.

From the first match, she has been continuously victorious.

If it wasn’t for Feng Tian, that freakishly talented genius in this team, Chen Lianlian would have probably already become the leader of this trial team by now.

"Just over one hundred thousand gold coins; it’s only a pity I’ve competed too few times, or else I could have vied for this month’s competition. A mere ten consecutive wins; my goal is to become the Fighting King," Chen Lianlian stated with a face full of pride.

With that mysterious bracelet in hand, Chen Lianlian felt very confident about winning. The Earth Wing Competition Zone had fewer participants compared to the Yellow Wing, and correspondingly, there were many fewer allocated matches.

So, even though a streak of fifty consecutive wins seems a lot less than a hundred in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, the difficulty is actually almost the same.

Chen Lianlian firmly believed that as long as she had that peculiar bracelet, she would definitely achieve even better results.

"But Lian Lian, your next opponent in the match is Feng Tian, aren’t you worried?" the female Mage beside her asked.

Chen Lianlian and Feng Tian were both in the same competition zone.

After multiple previous rounds, the two had not crossed paths, but in the newly announced match schedule, Chen Lianlian and Feng Tian would encounter each other.

"Feng Tian? How formidable can he be," Chen Lianlian responded with full confidence.

The outside world was buzzing with how formidable Feng Tian was, but she didn’t see him being all that impressive.

Just at that moment, they passed by the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing it, the accompanying female Mage quickly flattered: "Lian Lian, at this rate, you’ll soon break through to become a Sky Mage, and perhaps you’ll be the first to do so from the Magic Elite Camp. Why don’t we stop by the Treasure Pavilion and see if there are any soul stones suitable for setting into your Magic Wand?"

This suggestion struck a chord with Chen Lianlian.

She too believed that without any unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely make a breakthrough within a year.

Chen Lianlian glanced at the Treasure Pavilion, dazzled by the opulence and grandeur of the building.

She had long heard of the fame of the Treasure Pavilion in Sky Wing City, but had not had the opportunity to visit due to being preoccupied with the competition.

Today, as she happened to be free and had just received her prize money, maybe it was time to take a look.

As the former Crown Princess Consort of Great Zhou, Chen Lianlian came from a wealthy background and had seen countless treasures and Magic Artifacts on a regular basis.

Back when she was the Crown Princess Consort, Ye Beilian once snuck her into the Royal Treasury of Great Zhou to please her.

But even having been to the Treasure Pavilion, she still found herself amazed.

Sky Wing City was indeed a place of prominence on the continent.

The treasures in the Treasure Pavilion exceeded those in the Great Zhou Royal Treasury in number.

But the price tag for each item was also quite steep.

This had to do with the history of the Treasure Pavilion. Sky Wing City was filled with formidable figures, and most of them, upon arriving, had only two choices.

Either they would spend all their wealth on local real estate, and if these people were short on funds, they would sell their Magic Artifacts and treasures for money.

The other group fought in the Arena, either perishing there or losing everything they had, and naturally, their possessions would end up in the hands of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion bought at low prices and sold at high ones, naturally amassing immense wealth.

Chen Lianlian might be of noble status, but she is merely an ordinary Holy Mage; all of her possessions were in the care of Elder Helian.

Her performance at the Earth Wing Arena was mediocre, and in a month, she only won a hundred thousand gold coins. That amount wouldn’t afford her any high-level Demon Beast Soul Stone at the Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Lianlian felt somewhat disheartened, yet she was unwilling to leave empty-handed, so she proposed to take a look around the Artifact Pavilion.

It was at this moment that Chen Lianlian noticed an inconspicuous stone placed on a display table in the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing that stone, Chen Lianlian suddenly felt a movement in her heart.

Because the shape of the stone was exactly like the missing part of her bracelet.

If it weren’t for the presence of other people around her, she really would have immediately taken out that stone to see if it was the missing part of her bracelet.

After Chen Lianlian obtained the old bracelet, she noticed it was missing a piece.

And because of that missing piece, the function of her bracelet was intermittent. If this stone really matched the bracelet perfectly,

Then she couldn’t imagine the terrifying magic power the restored bracelet would exhibit.

Chen Lianlian stifled her excitement and called a shop assistant over.

"How much for this stone?" Chen Lianlian inquired.

That shop assistant happened to be the same one who had attended to Yun Sheng earlier.

Upon seeing Chen Lianlian, he mused to himself, what was going on today that brought all these beautiful women to the Treasure Pavilion.

However, although the girl in front of him was beautiful, she still seemed somewhat inferior to the two ladies he had encountered during the day.

The shop assistant then looked at the item Chen Lianlian was pointing at and, upon glimpsing it, couldn’t help but secretly lament.

Why is it this stone again?

What value does this wretched stone hold that both female customers specifically asked for it?

Earlier today, after Yun Sheng settled matters with Manager Chu, the shop assistant had intended to put the stone away but had unexpectedly been caught up in the failed sword forging incident of Feng Wusheng.

Caught up in the rush of business, he completely forgot to take care of it, let alone to secure this stone worth five million gold.

And now, without paying attention, it had caught another customer’s eye.

Chen Lianlian’s sweet voice happened to fall upon the ears of a young master nearby who was making a purchase.

He was a 25- or 26-year-old man dressed in luxurious attire with a woman showing her cleavage clinging to his arm. He looked in the direction, and his gaze met Chen Lianlian’s face.

As soon as he saw that she was an exceptional beauty, the young master was dazzled, and ignoring the jealous woman beside him, he eyed Chen Lianlian, a flash of desire in his eyes.

Chen Lianlian was no stranger to the admiring glances from her surroundings and even felt somewhat pleased with this kind of admiration from men.

She pretended not to notice and continued to ask her question.

"Miss, the price of this item is five million gold coins," the person from the Treasure Pavilion replied respectfully.

"What? Five million?" Chen Lianlian did not expect this unremarkable stone to be priced at five million.

It was an astronomical price.

Even if she retrieved the wealth stored with Elder Helian, she could not afford this stone, Chen Lianlian thought to herself.

No matter what, she must obtain this stone!
