Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1748 – Exterminator
The conditions put forth by Imperial King Zhen Wu were very tempting, and if it was any other ordinary cultivator, that cultivator would probably be overjoyed and agreeable.
Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu himself was convinced that he had already shown his sincerity, and as long as this fellow knew how to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages, then that fellow would definitely not refuse.
However, in Chen Xi's opinion, perhaps the help of Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu could cause the other cultivators to be overjoyed, but it wasn't really of interest to him.
The reason is very simple. Eldest Senior Brother, Wu Xuechan, was a Daolord, and he was even in contact with another Daolord now, the Ruler of the Arambha Temple.
Under such circumstances, the assistance promised by the Imperial Emperor was clearly unable to make Chen Xi feel a pleasant shock.
However, Chen Xi did not refuse. He really needed the Heavenly Wing Potion, and he could not let such an opportunity pass him by.
However, it was clearly impossible for him to pay the price of the Ancestral Dao Root above sixth grade just like that.
“I appreciate Senior's goodwill.” Chen Xi pondered deeply before saying, “Don't mention help for now. I happen to lack a suitable sword. If Senior is able to fulfill this request of mine, then I will naturally provide Senior with a satisfactory Ancestral Dao Root for Senior. “
This answer caused Qian An to be stunned, and he barely dared to believe his ears. This person ... actually refused?
No, wait!
He did not refuse, he even took the opportunity to ask for a sword to Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu! Qian An's heart immediately began to twitch. Can this be considered an overly high demand? What if he enraged the Emperor of Zhen Wu Kingdom?
At this moment, Imperial King Zhen Wu who lived in the opposite room could not help but be shocked, and he was a little surprised because the young man in the opposite room actually started to bargain with him!
“She's too far!” Zhao Jiukun was a little unable to contain herself, and she said in a low voice, “That person clearly intended to take this opportunity to ruthlessly blackmail grandfather. Grandpa, you really shouldn't spoil her! “
Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu was silent for a while before he said, “There is no need to speak any further. I am clearly aware of everything in my heart. “
After which, he sighed as he stood up and patted Zhao Jiukun on the shoulder. He said, “If you want to get the Ancestral Dao Root with outstanding quality, then the price should be paid.”
“But...” Zhao Jiukun was unwilling in her heart.
“No but!” Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Jiukun, and his face carried a wisp of dignified expression.
“Jiukun, do you remember all the parents who came looking for me in the last few years? Even though they took the initiative to send the Ancestral Dao Root to me, they all made requests that went too far, and some even intended to encroach on our territory in the Northern Lights Region. They were all filled with greedy and wild ambitions! ” When he spoke here, a wisp of coldness appeared at the corner of Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu's lips. “But now, we can buy a good Ancestral Dao Root through mere trading, and it is already very good. At the very least, it was more than 100 times better than agreeing to the old man's condition. “
Zhao Jiukun instantly fell silent when she heard this.
He was clearly aware that many outstanding figures had come looking for his grandfather, and they had taken the initiative to provide his grandfather with a large amount of Ancestral Dao Root with outstanding qualities. However, all of them were rejected by his grandfather. The reason is that their purpose is impure, and it is tainted with all sorts of exchanges of interests and benefits. This was something that his grandfather was completely unable to tolerate.
Yet he, Zhao Jiukun, was the cause of all this!
If it wasn't for the sake of his advancement to the Enlightened Ancestral God Realm, Imperial King Zhen Wu wouldn't have had to bother at all.
“Kakk …. ‘Zhao Jiukun took a deep breath and seemed to be intending to say something.
“Alright, it is more than enough if you work hard in your future cultivation.” Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu smiled and gestured to his grandson that there was no need to say anything.
As he spoke here, Imperial King Zhen Wu seemed to have made some sort of decision. He raised his hand and pulled the bronze sword case. The surface of the sword cave was extremely speckled, and it was encompassed by an ancient and solemn aura that could only be accumulated through the experience of the passage of time.
As he rubbed this cold bronze sword box with his fingers, Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu could not help but breathe with emotion, and his eyes were filled with the color of memory.
“Grandfather, you wouldn't have intended to give this treasure to that person, would you?” At this moment, Zhao Jiukun shouted involuntarily with surprise, and she seemed to have recognized the treasure in the bronze sword box.
“After all it is useless in mine.” Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu shook his head and stopped hesitating. He turned and opened the door. “Deliver this and that Heavenly Wing Herb to the attendant and ask the attendant to hand it over to the commission owner.”
“Iya!” A subordinate standing outside the door hurriedly bowed and received the sword case before leaving in a hurry.
“Grandfather, isn't the price too heavy? How can you ... do this !? You just gave it away! Wouldn't his reputation be humiliated if it fell into the hands of a heretic and cruel? ” Zhao Jiukun couldn't help but hit her chest and stomp her feet in great anger.
“If it really happens, then I will personally take it back.” Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu said these words in a light voice, and his tone was calm, indifferent, and carried an oppressive and arrogant aura.
…
The conversation between Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu and Zhao Jiukun had yet to enter Chen XI's room, and this caused the atmosphere to become a little quiet.
Qian An's heart couldn't help but rise to his throat when no reply came from Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu after a long time, and his expression slightly changed as he muttered. “Emperor Zhen Wu Empire .. will not ... angry, right?”
Chen Xi was stunned, and then spoke indifferently. “Don't worry, he is a dignified Royal Emperor, so he definitely won't ignore his dignity and make things difficult for you.”
Qian An said anxiously, “Then what about Young Master?”
Chen Xi said amusedly, “He doesn't even know who I am, so how does he make things difficult for me?”
Although Chen Xi said this, Qian An was still a little uneasy. The reason for that was that Imperial King Zhen Wu was unlike any other Imperial King, his reputation was truly too great. His reputation struck terror in everyone's heart, and it caused others to not dare to awaken the intention to fight him.
This caused Qian An to instantly be on guard. He glanced at Chen Xi before saying in a low voice. “Who is that outside the door? Did you not know that trades are held in this quiet room for VIPs? “
“Qian An, Imperial King Zhen Wu sent two treasures. Get out and get it yourself. ” Old voice sounded from outside.
“Hall Master Peng!” Qian An was immediately shocked. When he saw Chen Xi reveal a puzzled expression, he hurriedly explained. “Hall Master Peng is the King of Kingdoms of the South Sea Region. At the same time, he is one of the six Hall Masters of my Exchange Hall. He's from the Garuda Green Winged Clan. It was all thanks to his presence that all sorts of problems were avoided during these past few years. “
Chen Xi could not help but be surprised. An Imperial King held the fortress here. No wonder no one dared to cause trouble here.
“However, why did Imperial King Zhen Wu send two treasures? Could he not be angry? ” Qian An can't help but be confused.
Chen Xi seemed to be lost in thought, and she instructed. “Go take.”
Qian An nodded. After he walked out of the room, it was not long before he entered while carrying the jade box and the ancient bronze sword box.
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed, and she immediately looked like she was guessing something, causing her to be unable to help but feel a little surprised.
He opened the jade box first. Sure enough, he saw a divine herb that was fine like ginseng, light purple in color, and seasoned with strands of sweet fragrance that rained down on his surroundings in the form of light spots. It was lying quietly inside the jade box, and it shocked the Heavenly Wings Divine Potion!
Could it…. Qian An's entire body stiffened, and she felt a little in disbelief.
Clangs!
Meanwhile, Chen Xi had already opened the sword case, and a strand of unknown swords howled directly from within it.
When he looked closely, an ancient sword lay within the sword box. It was two and a half fingers wide, over 1m long, deep blue in color, and smooth like a mirror. Its surface was marked with mysterious strands of Dao Dao, and flowed with a sparkling divine light that looked like moonlight.
Although it was located silently within the sword box, when Chen Xi's gaze flashed, he was able to clearly feel a murderous and ferocious aura attacking his face, and his eyes could not help but narrow because of this. Moreover, he felt a piercing pain and a slight numbness from them.
The Treasure of Natural Spirit? Nah! This aura was impure, and much closer to the Artificial Spirit Treasure.
But does he have such pure Natural Spirit Energy? In an instant, a wisp of surprise appeared in Chen Xi's heart. Along with this surprise there were many questions as he was actually unable to determine exactly what kind of divine artifact this ancient sword was.
This is obviously a little unusual.
On the other hand, Qian An shuddered while his expression changed abruptly. He moved aside and really did not dare to approach the ancient sword.
However, he was finally convinced that Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu was not angry and was even ready to hand over the Heavenly Wing Potion and the ancient sword that had a shocking aura!
This had surpassed Qian An's imagination, and he was completely unable to figure out what Imperial King Zhen Wu was thinking.
“Daoist partner, how's the sword?” Right at this moment, the indifferent and steady voice of Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu echoed in the room.
“It's very tough.” Chen Xi paused for a moment before she added. “This is amazing, and its value may not be inferior to the Natural Spirit Treasure.”
“Your smart capabilities are not bad. This sword was called Banisher, and it came from an extraordinary expert who set foot onto the Main Road of Sword all those years ago. Although it was not a true Spirit Realm Treasure, its core was forged from the Natural Spirit Treasure. I hope you will take good care of him and not embarrass his reputation. ” Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu's voice brought a hint of unseen sadness.
The banisher! Chen Xi thought in her heart. Chen Xi felt that this name was a little strange, and what was most surprising to him was to forge this sword, one actually did not hesitate to fuse the Natural Spirit Treasure into its core!
If this news were to spread, then one would definitely be cursed as a madman. After all, once the Natural Spirit Treasure was melted down, it would not have its true power anymore.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Xi was unable to determine what kind of divine artifact he was when he first saw this sword.
However, there was no doubt that this sword was extremely powerful. It exceeded Chen Xi's expectations, and its value was truly on par with a Natural Spirit Treasure!
Yet Imperial King Zhen Wu had actually given this sword away because of the one sentence he spoke, and this completely exceeded Chen Xi's expectations and caused him to be a little stunned.
“Thank you, Senior, for this sword gift.” Chen Xi took a deep breath and expressed her gratitude seriously.
As he spoke, he gave the jade box to the fallen Qian An in a stunned state, and he said, “Please send this to me.”
Qian An accepted it instinctively, and she walked out of the room while a puzzled expression still lingered on her face. Everything that had happened before astonished him, and his heart was unable to calm down until now.
In another room.
“The boy actually got an offer by getting Banisher just for seventh grade Ancestor Dao Root.” Zhao Jiukun was still upset, and she really felt it was unfair to her grandfather, the Emperor of Zhen Wu Kingdom.
“The sword hidden inside his case is no different from a bright pearl covered in dust. It was a waste of God-given gifts. ” Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu smiled lightly.
Right at this moment, a wave of knocking echoed, and then a subordinate sent a jade box into the room respectfully. “My Lord, this is the treasure that the man sent.”
“You can go.” Imperial Emperor Zhen Wu received the jade box, and he only opened it after his subordinates left.
Hm? At the next moment, a shocking wisp of light suddenly emerged from within his eyes when he saw the object inside the jade box clearly.
