Chapter 2710: The Shangsan Festival

Chapter 2710: The Shangsan Festival

It was no wonder that Zhu Ye had acted so arrogant after joining the Merchant Exchange. It had been a massive leap upwards for the Zhu Mercantile Company, as no one would dare touch the company. On top of that, the Merchant Exchange would also cover up any of Zhu Yis indiscretions

As for whoever led the Merchant Exchange, there was no information to be found whatsoever. There were rumors that the person was someone from the Lost Clan, or else the Cyclic Universe. There were even some rumors that said that the Merchant Exchange was led by someone with no connection to any power in the Sixverse Association, but rather a powerful independent cultivator. There are too many various rumors, and they only served to increase the mystery surrounding the Merchant Exchange.

The power vessel that Zhu Ye had been given by the Merchant Exchange that looked like an eye had been destroyed by Lu Yin. He had found that no matter what he did, it was impossible for him to contain the power vessel. Even when he had put it in his cosmic ring, it would slip out if he was not careful.

He did not want any trouble with the Merchant Exchange, so his only choice had been to destroy the power vessel.

As for the Merchant Exchange itself, he was very interested in the company. After all, each of their members was a walking wallet, and Lu Yin was always short of funds.

After Lu Yin left the bell tower, he was approached by Ning Ran. "Acting Bureau Director, I heard you were looking for me."

"Has Cheng Feng said anything?" Lu Yin asked.

Ning Ran shook her head. "No. We havent continued his interrogation at all recently."

"Don't worry about pressing him with interrogations. The worst torture he can suffer is just time. He wont be able to endure."

Ning Ran frowned. While this made sense to her, she had not even started any physical torture on Cheng Feng, and she felt that it was important to at least go through the standard procedures at least once. However, since she had been given orders by the acting Bureau Director, she did not dare act counter to those orders without proper authorization.

"Tell me, how big is the omniverse?" Lu Yin suddenly asked.

The question was unexpected for Ning Ran, and she thought about it for a bit. "Its infinitely large."

"Aside from the Sixverse Association, are there other such organizations?" Lu Yin continued his questions. While he seemed to be addressing Ning Ran, he also appeared to be speaking to himself.

Ning Ran still answered, "There must be. There are constantly more parallel universes being discovered, so maybe therell be a day when we find another group comparable to the Sixverse Association."

Lu Yin took a deep breath. It was true, they might one day discover another monstrous organization on the same scale as the Sixverse Association. There was no way to know for sure. At the very least, Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Chen's father, who was known as the Lord of Lightning, was a terrifying powerhouse. Progenitor level creatures such as Dragonturtle referred to the man as master, so who could say how many other powerhouses might still be out there?

"Alright, you can head on back." Lu Yin smiled as he spoke. "I was just musing on things."

Ning Ran nodded and stepped back.

In the following time, Lu Yin rarely became quiet, and he would not approach Chen Le. At this time, the closer he got, the easier it would be to be targeted by Lord Wei. Now that Lord Wei suspected Cloudflow was the secret agent, he had achieved his goal. What he wants is to buy time.

The day would come when Lu Yin would learn the truth, and he hoped that it would come after the Origin Universe was able to become a member of the Sixverse Association.

On that same day, Xu Wuji visited the Red Zone and went to find Xuan Qi. "The Lost Clans Shangsan Festival will be held soon. Are you interested in attending?"

Lu Yin had spent some time in the Red Zone and had rarely had any contact with the outside world. He had been focused on the Cosmic Art and trying to break through to the next and final level. Because of this, he had not heard of the Shangsan Festival before. "Whats the Shangsan Festival?"New novel chapters are published on

"You don't know?" Xu Wuji was surprised. "Everyones talking about it right now. Well, you did just recently join the Sixverse Association, so it makes sense for you not to know.

"The Shangsan Festival is a very important occasion for the Lost Clan. Legends claim that whenever a Shangsan Festival is held, their gates are opened wide. Its one of the rare occasions when you can change your card, provided you are willing to do so."

This stunned Lu Yin. "The Lost Clan only allows a person to get a new card if their previous card was destroyed. Youre saying its also possible to replace them?"

Xu Wuji raised two fingers. "There are only two chances to change a card; one is to have a breakthrough in your cultivation. Think about it, a card is not a person and it cannot be cultivated. Each one has its own limits. For example, the a Primordial Card can only hold a Void Morphora, so if someone has a breakthrough and becomes a Void Suprema, their card will become worthless in any of their battles. In that sort of a situation, you can apply to the Lost Clan to replace your card.

"The second chance is the Shangsan Festival. According to the Lost Clan itself, its a celebration of a day their ancestors gave out gifts. Every single one of the Lost Clans cards will have something strange happen to it, and as long as you have the ability and the opportunity, you will receive favor from a card and can trade for it.

Lu Yin groaned, suddenly a bit uncertain. "Bureau Director, the Lost Clan isnt easy to mess with. You arent trying to make trouble for me, right?"

Xu Wuji instantly shouted, "What kind of bullshit is that? How would I try to make trouble for you?"

Lu Yin retorted, "Then let me see what's in the box."

Xu Wuji snatched the box back and glared at Xuan Qi. "No! You can't see!"

Lu Yin pursed his lips. He was becoming more and more hesitant about agreeing to run this errand. Could the box hold some lost treasure that belonged to the Lost Clan? Surely nothing would happen to him if he delivered the box.

Xu Wuji's eyes flashed. "Forget it, I don't need your help. Ill take it myself. I don't know what youre so worried about. Why would I need you to take something if it were actually important? Id just take it myself!"

Despite his arguments, it was clear that Xu Wuji had no intention of going and was reluctant to not send the box with Xuan Qi.

Lu Yin sighed. "Senior, give me the box. Ill give it to Xiao Fang for you."

Xu Wuji looked at Xuan Qi suspiciously. "You can't open it."

Lu Yin nodded. "I wont open it."

"Swear."

Lu Yin's face twitched, but helpless, he swore as ordered. "Senior, you need to also swear that this wont harm me at all."

Xu Wuji happily swore an oath as well. "Feel better now?"

Lu Yin put the box away. "Senior, who is Xiao Fang?"

Xu Wuji replied, "You'll know when you get there."

Suddenly, the man looked a bit nervous, but after taking a moment to think about things, he looked to be more at ease, and he said nothing more about the matter. "When youre visiting the Lost Clan, make sure you dont miss the Shangsan Festival. Use whatever you can to draw a card, and make sure you remember, you dont find a card, but it finds you. If you search for one, you wont find anything. Thats not how it works at all.

Lu Yin grew curious. "Attract them?"

Xu Wuji somberly replied, "According to the Lost Clan, every card is a reflection of a persons heart, and because the cards are traps that are used to kill, they are able to witness the human heart. Because of that, each person will attract a different card, and it depends on the person, not their strength. If it were determined by power, that person with the Seasonal card would never have obtained an Immemorial card.

You need to The man trailed off, seemingly uncertain on what to say.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Wuji looked back at Lu Yin. "Show your unrestrained self!"

Lu Yin blinked. "Yes?"

Xu Wuji nodded. "If you want to attract a suitable card, you need to allow the cards to see the real you, so just let yourself go. Only then will you be able to attract the card that suits you best. This is something that most people cant do, and they end up walking away with nothing at all. At every Shangsan Festival, most people are unable to trade their cards. In fact, only about one in every hundred people are able to trade their cards. Im hoping youre one of those one-in-a-hundred."
