Chapter 275: Treated Like an Honored Guest
The damp, salty sea wind howled~
Li Jiexuan stood blankly on the deck, tears streaming down his face. He could no longer tell whether it was the taste of the sea or the bitterness of his own regretful tears…
"Why can't I control these hands of mine?"
More than 300,000 points completely drained in just twenty minutes. As for the gains, forget the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya he didn't even get a single jonin…
The strongest card he obtained was Uzumaki Xinjuna (civilian), a chunin:
Uzumaki Physique: Rapid chakra recovery and physical healing.
Known Ninjutsu: Adamantine Sealing Chains, Four Symbols Seal, Four Red Yang Formation, Rasengan.
Trait: Attracts the affection of blond-haired ninjas.
At first, pulling Xinjuna made Li Jiexuan extremely excited did this mean he could enjoy the protagonist treatment too, raising a fox through a card from afar?
But who would've thought this Xinjuna card was in a civilian state without the Nine-Tails. The system's trickery was fully on display…
Still, sealing techniques were indeed Li Jiexuan's weak point. With the Xinjuna card, that weakness was immediately alleviated. But thinking about the hefty cost of over 300,000 points still made his heart ache…
Just as Li Jiexuan was feeling the pain, the sea vessel slowly docked.
"Lord Jiexuan, we've arrived at the Land of Artisans." One of the snake-cursed men traveling with him reminded him softly. Only then did Li Jiexuan realize they had reached the harbor of the Land of Artisans.
Before the anchor even dropped, a short man from the Land of Artisans came forward proactively, calling out loudly: "Are you the ninja tool purchasers from the Land of Water?"
"Yes, we are from the Land of Water."
Hearing this, the short man was overjoyed. The moment Li Jiexuan stepped off the ship, he eagerly came forward.
"This purchaser from the Land of Water looks quite young and unfamiliar."
As he spoke, the short man grabbed Li Jiexuan's hands and warmly welcomed him. "But no matter you're friends of the Land of Artisans. Come with me quickly. Master Qingzheng has been waiting for quite some time!"
"…"
Li Jiexuan couldn't help but mutter, "Looks like the people of the Land of Artisans aren't as exaggerated as Orochimaru said. Aren't they quite warm and hospitable?"
"My name is Jintian."
The short man led Li Jiexuan's group into a luxurious meeting room, then served fragrant tea and snacks. He bowed respectfully. "You can just call me Xiao Tian. I'll go invite Master Qingzheng."
"Alright, Xiao Tian." Li Jiexuan was very satisfied. He even felt a slight sense of being treated like an honored guest. The service in the Land of Artisans was indeed excellent.
Xiao Tian left with a flattering smile. In less than a minute, he came running back, bowing apologetically. "Sorry, Master Qingzheng happened to step out. But I've already sent someone to find him. He should be here shortly."
"No problem, Xiao Tian!" Li Jiexuan didn't mind at all. With this level of service, waiting a little while was nothing.
Seeing this, Xiao Tian happily took out a report. "To avoid wasting your time, I'll first record your ninja tool requirements."
Just look at that efficiency…
"Please show the seal of the Land of Water." As if worried Li Jiexuan might misunderstand, Xiao Tian smiled and nodded. "To be fair to the other four great nations, any major country purchasing in the Land of Artisans must present their seal."
"A seal?" Li Jiexuan froze for a moment. Orochimaru hadn't given him anything like that before leaving…
Seeing Li Jiexuan hesitate, Xiao Tian's expression changed slightly. He grabbed Li Jiexuan's arm and asked nervously, "Where exactly in the Land of Water are you from?"
