Arthur smiled somewhat politely, before resting his fingers on the counter, tapping rhythmically.
"It is.... not for sale you say?".
The mind controlled young redhead nodded, glancing at the Fae Box closer towards Arthur, mentally cursing the owner of the body that she was controlling.
If she wanted to use the Attribute Control Skill that allowed her to plant a seed of her own consciousness into the Mind Origin Essence Seas of others, she had to physically touch the recipients of the skill.
She knew every single Fae Master that she had placed a seed of consciousness into, and judging from the décor inside this particular Sophia's Emotion Fae Emporium, the Elder several tens of thousands of kilometres away narrowed her eyes.
'Damn it! This girl has gotten lazy over the last few years! Even though the shop only exists as a front, after doing it for so long she shouldn't have taken so long to set up the store!'.
The White Dominion Sect Elder just merely smiled through the face of the redheaded storekeeper, shaking her head while giving Arthur a small bow.
"My apologies honoured guest. This particular vessel of mine hasn't quite yet finished setting up the store yet. This Fae was supposed to go on auction in the Slavik Clan Coastal City. It would.... fetch quite the price to the more discerning eye.... although, from what I can tell, honoured guest is more than just discerning.....".
Arthur's expression didn't so much as falter as he gazed down at the Fae before him.
This Fae, was.... the opposite of the current Arthur.
He was the current wielder of the Boundless Forest Yearning Sovereign Boundary Physique, meaning that he innately possessed Wood Laws and Emotion Laws within him in the image of an Affection Tree Fae.
The Affection Tree Fae inspired affection within all things between the heavens and the earth, and could inspire affection within the heavens and the earth once he became a Fae Immortal.
It was a Fae that was loved by the Heavens.
Conversely.... the Fae in the Fae Box before him was the opposite of such a Fae.
This particular Fae.... was the Animosity Tree Fae.
Instead of inspiring affection between the Heavens and the Earth, the Animosity Tree Fae inspired animosity between all things between the heavens and the earth.
It created animosity. Which led to hostility. Then anger. Then hatred. Then rage. Then malice.
It caused individuals to become affected by it to feel an intense dislike towards the wielder of the Animosity Tree Fae.
Being the complete opposite of the Affection Tree Fae, perhaps it could be used to rope in the next possessor of the Boundless Forest Yearning if whomever obtained it could find said possessor.
It would also allow Fae Researchers to see the minute differences between the Affection Tree Fae and the Animosity Tree Fae and see exactly how both of them can affect the heavens and the earth.
Such Fae were extremely rare, and even if their combat power was relatively non-existent, it was still much more complex than most other Fae.
If Arthur revealed that he was the current possessor of the Boundless Forest Yearning, this Elder would undoubtably drop everything and immediately come towards Parachenko Village, hoping to take Arthur back with her.
He had a Sovereign Boundary Physique. At the very least, he was destined to reach Rank 5 so long as he had enough time and was willing to put in the effort.
But being restricted in a Sect for so long would only harm Arthur's future prospects. There were hidden treasures and buried tombs which he could unearth, and secrets that he could make use of to claim all the benefits.
It would be silly to tell a complete and utter stranger about his current abilities. Even if they were "friends" in a previous life.
Arthur raised an eyebrow, still tapping rhythmically on the countertop.
"I'll give another Rank 2 Essence Development Fae for it".
The redhead at the front counter bit her bottom lip before shaking her head.
"My apologies guest. Even if we were to auction these two origin essence sea development Fae, I'm afraid that it would slightly fall behind the price and value of the Animosity Tree Fae. It's relationship to a certain Sovereign Boundary Physique is quite.... important".
Arthur lifted his head for a moment.
"You speak as though the Boundless Forest Yearning has been found. If that is the case then I might have to think twice about purchasing it".
The redhead smiled, but with one that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"That information, is not for free honoured guest".
Arthur rolled his eyes before gazing back at the Animosity Tree Fae down below. So long as he both the Affection Tree Fae and the Animosity Tree Fae, he could research both of them for as long as he wanted, without having to worry about having them stolen or taken from him.
The benefits of having them both in the long run, far exceeded the potential losses he might have to give up so long as he could find time to research them both.
Arthur let out a sigh before taking out another Fae and placing it on the counter.
"This is my final offer".
The redhead smiled and turned down towards the Fae on the counter, he eyes widening as she turned back towards Arthur, whose smile never left his face.
"A Rank 3 Bone Development Fae. I'm sure that this would make a lot more than just a Rank 2 evolution".
The Elder's eyebrows rose a couple centimetres, before she glanced down at the Animosity Tree Fae before sighing and shaking her head.
"The value of such a Fae exceeds the limit of a Rank 2 Spirit Animosity Tree Fae. You are in excess honoured guest. Is there anything else that I can offer you today?".
Arthur nodded.
"The current information on the existence of the Boundless Forest Yearning. And any other Sovereign Boundary Physique that I can afford".
The redhead nodded.
"Currently, within the Azure Envy Continent, there is only the Overflowing Ocean Depths belonging to the nearby Azure Ocean Sect and the Formless Night Shadow which currently belongs to the Nightime Demon Sect".
Arthur knew the details of some of the Sovereign Boundary Physiques, although he hadn't met all of them in his previous life.
He had personally battled the wielders of the Myriad Thought Order Sovereign Boundary Physique, the Formless Night Shadow Sovereign Boundary Physique, the Overflowing Ocean Depths Sovereign Boundary Physique, the Ardent Flame Annihilation Sovereign Boundary Physique and the Empyrean Worldly Essence Sovereign Boundary Physique.
A total of 5 of the 33.
He had won against the Overflowing Ocean Depths Sovereign Boundary Physique as well as the Myriad Thought Order, although only the former was a battle to the death.
In terms of information he didn't exactly need them, but his knowledge during the early periods of his life were relatively incomplete. It was only after Arthur became a Rank 4 and a Rank 5 Fae Master, did he pay attention to the affairs of the Cultivation World.
The redhead continued.
"Within the Violet Lust Continent, the wielders of both the Celestial Yin Moon and the Victorious Yang Sol have met and currently are the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Sect. A few years ago the wielder of the Boundless Forest Yearning battled against these two and was killed, meaning that the Boundless Forest Yearning has currently been awakened in someone entirely different".
"The Perpetual Titan Strength Sovereign Boundary Physique is currently within the Crimson Wrath Continent, although the exact location isn't currently known. Luminous Golden Light currently resides in the Amber Pride Continent.
"These are currently the six confirmed Sovereign Boundary Physiques within Human Heaven, which is quite a lot, even though Human Heaven as the highest population of Humans within the Thirty Three Heavens.
"There are rumours that the Tranquil Blood Crucifixion Sovereign Boundary Physique is located within the Crimson Wrath Continent as well. In addition to the Illimitable Death Restraints Sovereign Boundary Physique being in the Golden Sloth Continent. The other Sovereign Boundary Physiques are either currently unknown or more than likely within other Heavens?".
The redhead smiled politely, gesturing with her hand for more money.
"If you'd like to know the information about the Sovereign Boundary Physiques in the other Thirty Two Heavens, then please, exchange away".
