CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 43: BLUE SNOW CANDLE VS. CHAOS DIVINE EGG

Everyone turned their eyes to Yue Jinghua’s hands.

In her palm, there were several candles of different colors and styles.

In the modern era, candles are common, but in most of the Eastern Continent, they are still considered rare commodities.

Even Sha Xi, a favored lady from the Divine Court, was seeing these kinds of candles for the first time.

Before the invention of Blue Snow Candles, the only candles on the continent were the Honey Candles produced by the Ruison Federation, which were as thick as two fingers and as long as an arm, wild-honey colored, quick to burn out, and provided only mediocre light. As honey wax was difficult to extract, only a very few people on the continent used candles, and even the Divine Court would use honey wax candles only in larger-scale rituals.

After Yue Jinghua obtained the Blue Snow Field, she extracted paraffin from Blue Snow and began mass-producing Blue Snow Candles.

During the candle-making process, she found the color of the Blue Snow Candles too monotonous and had Hongling add a variety of colors to the candles.

Additionally, she also incorporated various spirit wood and spirit grass into the candles. This time, Hongling brought the latest batch of Blue Snow Candles, which had an aromatherapy effect and were as colorful as candies.

The size of the candles had also changed a lot, mimicking the style of modern aromatherapy candles, and some even had the word "blessing" engraved on them.

"These are a specialty of Fengdan County, called Blue Snow Candles. There are many types and uses for these candles, including longevity candles for birthdays, step-by-step candles for promotion and wealth, white-haired candles for bridal chambers, sleeping wax for treating children’s sleep disturbances, and beauty wax for women’s beauty and hair care. Light a Blue Snow Candle, and I guarantee your whole family will live a long and healthy life and rise to wealth and success," Yue Jinghua rattled off fluently, leaving her listeners dumbstruck.

Good advertising doesn’t beat actual effects. Yue Jinghua took out a flint, lit the candle, and showed everyone.

Once the candle was lit, a pleasant fragrance filled the air, and its warm light illuminated the faces around it.

"Blue Snow makes the finest, Uncle, do you find these candles usable?" Yue Jinghua asked the short man with a smile.

"This thing is great, hey boy, how much for this set?" the short man grinned broadly, grabbing several candles and unable to close his mouth from smiling.

Sha Xi was getting anxious beside them, "Wait, though this is novel, it shouldn’t be worth much. Everything I just showed, each one is extremely rare," not to mention others, Sha Xi too was dazzled by the set of candles; she bit her lip, both anxious and angry.

Her, the lofty Divine Goddess of the Divine Court, when had she ever been defeated by someone, especially by a no-name little mercenary.

"Lofty Divine Goddess, there’s a saying that you can’t buy what your heart desires for all the gold in the world, especially for women, they just love this," Yue Jinghua sneered, she’s just a dainty lady unaware of worldly affairs after all.

"Haha, kid you’re right, I’ll use Buzhou Soil to trade for this set, what’s it called again, Blue Snow, right?" the short man said without hesitation, quickly pushing the bowl toward Yue Jinghua.

"Wait a moment, I’m not finished yet. She has her rarities, but I have mine too," Sha Xi gritted her teeth, her mind going blank, blurted out, "I, I’ll trade a Chaos Egg for that bowl of Buzhou Soil."

As soon as Sha Xi mentioned trading a Chaos Egg for a bowl of soil, the maid behind her panicked, quickly speaking up to stop her: "Miss, you can’t, if Divine Pattern Sha Yan finds out, she’ll be furious."

"Shut up, there’s no place for you to speak here, Buzhou Soil, I want it," Sha Xi chanted softly, and a gleam of light flashed on her arm, revealing a box in her hand.

Surprisingly, she had a spatial tattoo on her arm, worthy of being the daughter of the Divine Pattern Sha Yan.

On the continent, there are several methods to carry storage items, one of which involves using Spiritual Treasures with storage properties, such as ordinary storage bags or sacks, which are the most common low-level spiritual items. Yue Jinghua’s Desire Gourd belongs to the higher-level storage Spiritual Treasures, a half-Saint Treasure.

Another method, which is not commonly seen on the continent and usually only used by Tattoo Masters, is the spatial tattoo that Sha Xi used, which can also store items.

Compared to ordinary storage Spiritual Treasures, the advantage of a spatial tattoo is that once the owner perishes, the items stored in the spatial tattoo will also be destroyed and will never again become ownerless. Moreover, most spatial tattoos also bear a Spiritual Imprint, which allows the Tattoo Master who crafted it to perceive immediately if forcibly destroyed.

Sha Xi’s Tattoo Master level has not yet reached the level to carve spatial tattoos; needless to say, the spatial tattoo on her arm was left by her mother, the Divine Pattern Sha Yan.

The sight of that spatial tattoo caught Yue Jinghua’s eye, appearing like a delicate rose slightly blooming, hiding the box containing the Chaos Egg in Sha Xi’s hand.

The crowd, seeing a spatial tattoo for the first time, couldn’t help but display their envy.

Seeing this, Sha Xi felt even more proud and lifted the box in her hand, "An unactivated Chaos Egg, the only one in the Eastern Continent, how about it? I’ll use this exceptionally precious Chaos Egg to exchange for the Buzhou Soil, is that okay?"

As she spoke, she opened the box.

It was an Ice Jade Box carved with spell reliefs, emitting a lingering chill when opened.

Inside the box, nestled among Dark Pill Fragments, which released Dark Energy to constantly nourish a beast egg resembling the size of a chicken egg in the center of the box.

With the initial chaos, all things began; Chaos Egg is one of the most extraordinary creatures between heaven and earth, supposedly born without parents, nurtured by nature’s spiritual energy.

Each Chaos Egg’s egg pattern is different from an ordinary Dark Beast Egg, naturally surrounded by a lucky aura resembling a cloud.

Each Chaos Egg, once hatched, must certainly be of either Holy Beast Stage or sometimes even a Divine Beast level Dark Beast.

Divine Beasts, for everyone on the continent, even for a Dan Realm Expert, are inconceivable existences.

If Sha Xi truly holds a Chaos Egg in her hands, then its value is likely the highest in today’s Mountain Market, and the short man may very well agree to her exchange offer.

Just as Yue Jinghua, Guo Ziyu, and others, including the short man, were appraising the Chaos Egg, they failed to notice Ximing behind Guo Ziyu, whose body suddenly stiffened.

Watching Sha Xi take out that Dark Beast Egg, Ximing’s expression changed drastically, his eyes revealing an extraordinarily pained look.

Meanwhile, the maid behind Sha Xi was stealthily observing Ximing; she seemed to have seen Ximing somewhere before, but for the moment, she couldn’t recall where she had seen that wooden-like man.
