Towards Eternity
Ch 581's. Transaction

Inside the Black Coral Pirate Ship. Weng Lou was sitting opposite the Captain of the Black Coral Pirates, Hei Shanhu.

The two were separated only by a round table where two cups of warm herbal tea were served to the two of them. Hei Shanhu enjoyed his tea as well as Weng Lou after he confirmed that the tea was safe and did not contain anything harmful to the body.

"You are clearly not from the Mainland region. Are you from the Ryuan Empire?" shanhu asked who put her tea cup back on the table.

Weng Lou drank a little more tea and put it back before answering, "You can say it like that, but my place of origin is not Ryuan Empire either. You could say I was an adventurer who wanted a free adventure with no one to stand in my way."

Weng Lou's answer was only replied with a small nod by Hei Shanhu. He took out a teapot containing tea and refilled the cup of Weng Lou who had already stayed half its contents.

"Thank you."

"No need, this tea is one of the main goods in the illicit trade in the Mainland region and we Black Coral Pirates are a group that distributes it after receiving it from our clients. You can say that this tea is the only valuable treasure in Mainland that is not too valuable in Coral Star Island. I can give it to you some if you want it," Shanhu explained with his samblang.

Weng Lou nodded in understanding. He also drank back his tea. After a few minutes later, finally the tea in his cup and Shanhu's belongings had run out. They were in real conversation and the atmosphere around them had changed completely.

"All right.young man. Tell me what do you want to trade with me? You sent a wave of messages using the Soul Power from the burial area of the ship heading to this island. Fortunately, Coral Island Bintang is the closest island to the place or if not, the smelly people on other islands must have come to you first" Shanhu said, narrowing his eyes.

She looked at Weng Lou like she was looking at a walking time bomb that could bring trouble to her at any moment.

Weng Lou laughed softly while shrugging both of his shoulders. "I can handle them easily if it happens like that. After all there was only one person in the peak stage 9 Soul Unification realm in the Doulou Islands."

"Hoo. Then I don't need to give you any more warning, now near say what you want?"

"Hehe. I wanted to make an Identity Tablet for myself in order to get around Mainland. Of course I'll pay you a fortune if you help me." Weng Lou smiled as he explained the meaning of his arrival.

Hey Shanhu shut up and thought hard. Weng Lou's request was not an easy one because he wanted to create a fake Identity Tablet for himself which was one of the major offenses in Mainland, and the one who dared to do so would get the severe punishment of the Four Great Clan Families who were the true rulers of the Mainland.

Even those within the territory of the Doulou Islands who were protected by a Martial Practitioner at the peak of the Unification Soul realm would be afraid of the punishment given.

But Weng Lou said he came from outside the Mainland, so it should be difficult to find his identity. Moreover, he seemed to have something so precious with him that it was so confident. But he won't advance first, here Weng Lou needs him more, not him who needs Weng Lou.

"This is quite difficult.The lightest punishment of this offense is the death penalty. You know life is the most precious thing for a Martial Practitioner." Shanhu spoke softly while putting on a face like hard thinking.

It doesn't take to be smart to know what Shanhu means. Weng Lou himself also realized that he needed help here, but the problem was, Hei Shanhu was not the only one who could help him in the Doulou Islands. The eleven different islands in the Doulou Islands were led by each one of the captains who had strength in the Unification Soul realm, they clearly had the same influence that Shanhu had, he said, although making Identity Tablets was his specialty, it did not mean that others could not make them.

"Hey.if you're thinking of blackmailing me, then forget about it. I can easily go to another captain to discuss the same thing, you are not the best of them all" Weng Lou sneered.

Hey Shanhu was speechless. Weng Lou really has a great and sharp mindset. He inevitably had to lower his ego in order to gain the benefits that were in front of his eyes.

"Hahaha. I'll let it go, but I need to know what kind of price you're willing to pay me."

Weng Lou simply waved his hand in reply to Shanhu. A wooden box that has a unique image and a shiny lacquered teleihat. Faintly Shanhu could smell a very strong medicinal smell from the crack of the wooden box, and for some reason he swallowed his saliva as he could not imagine what kind of medicine Weng Lou was showing.

His hand moved to grab the wooden box in front of him, but it quickly disappeared again after Weng Lou swung his hand once more. Shanhu clicked his tongue and looked at Weng Lou who was grinning at him.

"At least let me see the contents!"

"No, the efficacy will be reduced if opened. You should eat it as soon as you open the box. Take it easy, when you're done making me the Identity Tablet I want, the box that previously will be yours and its contents."

Thinking for a moment, Shanhu finally agreed. Weng Lou also gave him some information to fill in to his Identity Tablet. Such as name, gender, origin/part of which group, along with the level of practice.

To his name, Weng Lou did not change it. He chose to stick with his real name because he wanted to see if the Weng Family had any particular relationship with the Four Great Clan Families in the Mainland. As for gender, Weng Lou had no intention of changing it, in fact he never thought about hiding his gender.

Then the place it came from, he chose to hand it over to Hei Shanhu to think about it himself, and for the level of practice, he had Shanhu write down the early stage 3 Soul Unification realm. Weng Lou could not estimate his true strength because he did not possess Qi, but should if it were calculated based on his many Soul Power, then the level of a stage 3 Soul Unification realm practice should be enough.

Shanhu at first did not believe in the level of Weng Lou's practice, but Weng Lou told him to just write as he said while releasing his Soul Power to press his body onto the floor.

In the end, a few days later passed. Weng Lou was on board the Black Coral Pirate and facing the Black Coral Pirate group. Hei Shanhu and his representative as well as some of the main members in their group looked silently at Weng Lou who was currently standing with a relaxed smile on his face.

Today is their transaction day. The Identity Tablet promised by Shanhu is ready and that means he and Weng Lou will make the promised exchange.

In order to prevent some unwanted things, Hei Shanhu had summoned all the core members on his ship that were scattered in various places throughout the Doulou Islands region. Although he knew he would not be able to win if Weng Lou intended to fight them, but at least Weng Lou would think twice because it would be difficult to get out with his ship that was large enough.

"You want to do business or fight, huh?" Weng Lou asked as he shook his head.

"Please be advised, we don't want our clients to make some mistakes due to our lack of readiness," Shanhu replied with an innocent smile, yet in his heart he still cursed Weng Lou for having made him bend his knees to the ground with just his Soul Power.

Weng Lou raised his hand and the wooden box he had taken out a few days ago appeared in his hand. Hei Shanhu gulped his saliva as he stared at the wooden box. He also raised his hand and took out a tablet of silver-colored metal but definitely not silver metal. From the looks of it it must be a metal that only exists in the Mainland because he cannot recognize it at all.

"Alright, we will both put it on the floor, and take what is ours" Shanhu said, narrowing his eyes but still smiling.

He slightly bowed, and was followed by Weng Lou. The eyes of the two stared at each other. Without warning, they both let go of the thing in their hands and took the thing they were aiming for.

Quickly both of them stood up straight and looked at each of the objects in their hands.

Weng Lou looked at the tablet in his hand with a big smile. He felt that this tablet had something special in it which made it very valuable. Meanwhile, Shanhu was observing the box in his hand.

He wanted to quickly open it and look at the contents, but remembered Weng Lou's saying that he could only open it if he wanted to eat it straight away. That's what he signaled to his crew to stand around him.

The wooden box was opened slowly, the scent of herbal medicines came straight out from inside the box, making everyone on the deck of the ship able to smell it very clearly. Even some of the pirates under the ship could smell it clearly. The smell of the drug is very strong it indicates that the drug has a very good quality, especially if it has a drug smell that tastes sweet.

Inside the box, a transparent yellow-colored pill was neatly placed on top of the pads that were lined by a clean, stainless red cloth. Shanhu's hand took the pill and immediately inhaled the smell right on both of his noses. The aroma of the herbal and sweet plant immediately entered into his lungs. His brain immediately screamed that he wanted to take the pill and he did.

His saliva flowed profusely inside his mouth as a sweet and cold sensation moved past his throat and into his stomach.

*bdum!* Small explosions occurred after the pill was swallowed by him. Hei Shanhu quickly sat down cross-legged and started her meditation, while Weng Lou only laughed seeing the reaction from Shanhu. The pill he ate was one of those useless pills for him.

The pill had the efficacy of increasing one's practice level in the realm of Soul Unification stage 1-5. The pill would make the Soul Power of its user become turbulent and feel like it was boiling.

When one's Soul Power was turbulent or was at its highest point, that person could purify his Soul Power much more easily and quickly. However, it required Qi to purify in this way so Weng Lou chose to exchange the pills for items he needed more from Shanhu.

"It's good if you understand how it works, then see you later, maybe in the future I'll visit you again," weng Lou said as he waved his hand and flew away from the top of the ship with the help of the sword under his feet.

Shanhu's crew had nothing to stop Weng Lou from taking direct orders from their captain not to do so.

"You will only die in vain if you face it," he told his crew before the transaction with Weng Lou was carried out.

Obviously the crew would not dare to break the captain's orders. They've been together in the same group for years. Their captain's orders are absolute and must be executed by all crew.

***

Currently inside the steamer group Weng Lou.

The Black Ape Brawler snorted before Weng Lou as the young man walked into his place which could only constantly lie down as it was not allowed to come out by Weng Lou.

"You've got her?" ask the Black Ape Fighter.

Weng Lou did not say anything and showed the tablet he got from Shanhu to her. The Black Ape Fighter's eyes stared at the tablet briefly before then snorted once more.

"Then what are you waiting for? Get this ship out of here. My back's been lying down for days."

"Hehehe. We're just leaving. But it seems you don't have to wait for us to get out of the archipelago to get out of the ship" Weng Lou said with a meaningful smile.

Black Ape The fighter fell silent. His eyes moved and stared in several directions. She finally laughed when she realized what Weng Lou had meant. Some flies end up being lured by the poisonous scent of the flower.

On some small islands near Karang Bintang Island. Several pirate groups are seen watching the dock where the steamer Weng Lou is currently located.

They were all representatives of the other ten major islands in the Doulou Islands. Each of them carried a pirate flag that led the islands and showed hostility to each other against different groups.

"Commander, the target has entered the ship. We just have to wait for him to get out of the Coral Star Island area before then making an attack." A frail skinny man gave a report to a thick bearded man who was playing with some women beside him.

The man who was summoned as commander looked at the person who gave the report to him. He immediately stood up leaving the women he played with and headed to the deck of the ship holding a half-meter-long binocular.

He placed the binoculars in his right eye and checked towards the pier. He could see the steamer Weng Lou starting to emit a puff of smoke on it, before long the ship moved backwards, spinning before then moving forward away from the dock.

*Srak!* the binoculars were folded, and the commander of the pirate group immediately gave his order.

"Let the screen! We will pursue our target at full speed! Fill all the cannons, and don't forget to prepare some bombs that the Captain has given us. The bombs should only be used when the target is not you surrender, if if the target chooses to surrender, we are forbidden to use them! Do you guys understand what I'm saying?!"

""LISTEN, COMMANDER!!""

"Good!!! We sail!!!"
