Chapter 2844 The Treasure Map


    “Mr. Chance, we heard you snagged the top spot in thepetition, right?” Crixus said excitedly.


    Jared nodded. “Looks like word travels fast around here.”


    “Getting that first ce must''ve scored you some sweet rewards! I was wondering if us three...” Juan


    chimed in, eyeing Jared with a grin.


    “No worries. As long as you stick with me, I promise you three meals every day,” Jared reassured,


    giving Juan''s shoulder a friendly pat.


    “Exactly what I was thinking! Mr. Chance wouldn''t leave us in the dust. From now on, we''re ride or die


    with Mr. Chance!” Szar spoke up, thrilled.


    After all, joining forces with Jared beat living a life of petty thievery and scraps.


    “Okay, we''re about to leave Jipsdale. Better get your gear in order,” Jared said to Szar.


    “Mr. Chance, where are we headed? Back to Emerald Cauldron Sect?” Juan asked.


    “I''ve heard rumors of a treasure showing up to the north of Jipsdale. Why not go on a little treasure


    hunt?” Crixus suggested to Jared.


    Jared''s brows raised at the mention of treasure. “Treasure? What kind of treasure? How did you find


    out?”


    The thing was, Jared had never shared his treasure-hunting ns with anyone other than the countess


    of Jipsdale, and he doubted she would spill the beans.


    Yet now, Crixus seemed to be clued in. He wondered if Crixus'' treasure and his own were the same.


    “Word''s out that there''s a guy named Vasker selling treasure maps around here. Lots of folks in the


    outer city have bought them, and apparently, they don''te cheap,” Crixus exined.


    “Yeah, they''re real pricey. Vasker ims to be some kind of Archaic Body cultivator. He says the


    treasure belongs to his Archaic Body Cultivation n and has been in their possession for ages,” Juan


    added.


    In an envious tone, he added, “The only problem is that his map''s iplete and doesn''t show the


    exact location of the treasure. Still, folks are flocking to buy it. Vasker''s rolling in dough.”


    “Vasker? Vasily?” Jared''s brow furrowed slightly.


    He wasn''t sure what the connection was between Vasker and Vasily. What are the odds of another


    Archaic Body Cultivation cultivator popping up?


    “Mr. Chance, you''re mixing up names. This guy''s name is Vasker, not Vasily,” Crixus corrected.


    “Oh. Take me to meet this Vasker now,” Jared said.

    Jared wanted to get a firsthand look at who this Vasker was and the story behind his treasure map. He


    needed to ascertain whether this guy was truly an Archaic Body cultivator.


    “Mr. Chance, I''d advise against it. This guy''s a real swindler. He''s charging a hundred million spirit


    coins for that treasure map. Just the entrance fee to get in line costs ten million. I feel like his treasure


    map is fake. We don''t need to be tricked into spending money on it,” Crixus warned, trying to dissuade


    Jared.


    “A hundred million spirit coins? Is he out of his mind?” Vi eximed upon hearing the sum.


    How could an iplete map with doubtful authenticity fetch a whopping one hundred million spirit


    coins?


    Moreover, this guy had made copies of it so that he could sell it to multiple people simultaneously.


    It was evident that Vasker was raking in the riches.


    “That''s exactly why we should check it out. If it''s able tomand such a high price, there might be


    some truth to this treasure map,” Jared asserted.


    “But Jared, we don''t have a hundred million spirit coins now. The resources were taken back by Mr.


    Samoll,” Vi pointed out.


    Jared smiled faintly. “Don''t worry, we have as much money as we need. Once I talk to the folks in


    Jipsdale, I''m confident they''ll provide.”


    Jared knew he could ask the countess for the money he needed to get the Ice Soul Pill. She would


    surely oblige, as a hundred million spirit coins were pocket change for Jipsdale.
