Chapter 1894: Marquis Golden Flame

"The place where this Senior lives seems somewhat unique!" Han Li looked at the golden, brilliant island, feeling somewhat stunned.

"Hehe, this is just his strange hobby. You will naturally know the reason when you see him in person, Little Brother Han," Qing Tian Yuanzi's lips twitched slightly, and he replied with a faint trace of eeriness.

"So that's how it is. This junior is even more curious now!" Han Li heard this and couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

Qing Tian Yuanzi, at this moment, shook his long sleeve toward the white light screen in front without a word.

Immediately, a surge of golden light poured out, and after condensing in front of him, it easily formed a golden giant sword more than ten feet long, which he swung toward the light screen ahead without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The white light screen rippled, and its surface flashed with light, looking as if it were about to collapse.

And almost at the same time the light screen changed, several roars of shock and anger came from the island.

"Who is so bold as to attack our Golden Flame Island!"

"Don't you know this is the residence of Lord Golden Flame?"

In an instant, figures flashed within the light screen, and several streaks of light shot out. After a few flashes, four guards clad in golden battle armor appeared before Qing Tian Yuanzi and the other, looking over with angry eyes.

"Eh, it's Lord Qing!"

But upon seeing Qing Tian Yuanzi's face clearly, these four Golden Armored Guards were startled and hurriedly bowed without hesitation.

Clearly, these people all recognized Qing Tian Yuanzi and no longer had their previous anger.

Han Li's gaze only swept over these four rugged armored warriors, and he saw that all four had Void Refinement cultivation, but their bodies faintly emitted a fierce aura, clearly not ordinary people.

"Marquis Golden Flame, I, Jiang, have come to visit. Why don't you come out to meet me?" Qing Tian Yuanzi didn't pay any attention to these four Golden Armored Guards but directly shouted toward the golden palace.

I don't know what kind of secret technique Qing Tian Yuanzi used, but although the voice wasn't very loud, it immediately echoed everywhere above the island.

With a rumbling sound, every corner of the palace could hear this voice over and over again.

"Qing Tian Yuanzi, since you've come, just come in. Do you still need me, the Marquis, to welcome you personally?" After a long while, a faint man's voice came from the golden palace. Although they were far apart, it was clearly audible to Han Li and the others.

"Hehe, since that's the case, I won't be polite! You guys lead the way!" After hearing this, Qing Tian Yuanzi smiled and ordered the four armored warriors.

"Yes, Senior, please follow this junior!" Upon hearing the transmission from the person in the palace, the four Golden Armored Guards felt relieved, and one of them hurriedly replied respectfully.

Thus, Han Li and Qing Tian Yuanzi, led by the four armored warriors, immediately passed through the parted light screen and landed directly toward the palace on the island.

After a short while, Qing Tian Yuanzi sat in a grand manner in an exceptionally wide hall.

Han Li sat respectfully beside him.

On the main seat of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon crown and a golden robe sat with a calm expression.

"Brother Jiang, this fellow cultivator actually has mid-stage Body Integration cultivation. Could it be that you know your time is running out and have taken in a personal disciple? To have such a realm at such a young age is enough to inherit your mantle. However, when I went to Old Monster Yan's place last time, I heard him say that the disciple you took in seems to be a female!" The golden-crowned man spoke abruptly.

This person had a face like white jade and a long, pitch-black beard half a foot long, looking like a scholar.

It was none other than the master of this place, a Mahayana existence named "Marquis Golden Flame," just like Qing Tian Yuanzi.

Han Li looked at this person, and after seeing the various golden ornaments flashing all over his body, he couldn't help but be speechless, and in his heart, he finally understood the meaning of Qing Tian Yuanzi's previous words.

"Brother Golden, you've mistaken. Little Brother Han is not my disciple, but an old acquaintance. You should remember that a few hundred years ago, a few juniors led some subordinates and suddenly entered this place, even provoking the Mayfly Clan to send people to chase them. I met Little Brother Han at that time. As for the disciple I took in, I have already acknowledged her as my foster daughter. Although her aptitude is excellent, she is still only at the Void Refinement stage," Qing Tian Yuanzi smiled and explained.

"A few hundred years ago! Oh, it's those outsiders who lured away the Nether Thunder Beast and wanted to steal the Nether River Divine Milk! Eh, I remember that the leaders of those people were later all captured and taken away by the Mayfly Clan. Since this Little Brother Han was involved, he was able to escape unscathed. Could it be that you, Brother, took action to save him?" The golden-crowned man's face revealed a trace of surprise upon hearing this.

"Brother's words are not entirely correct, but they are partially true. Little Brother Han being able to leave the Nether River land safely was indeed arranged by me. However, Brother, don't misunderstand anything. I did this on one hand because Little Brother Han is a clansman of mine, and on the other hand, because I had matters that needed him to handle in the outside world, which is why I took action," Qing Tian Yuanzi said indifferently.

"So that's how it is! However, Brother Qing hasn't come to my place for over a thousand years. Now that you've come to visit, and brought this clansman little brother with you, I imagine it's not just a simple visit," Marquis Golden Flame narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Li twice before his face suddenly turned stern.

"Brother Golden guessed right. This time I came, I do indeed have a matter that I need to discuss with you," Qing Tian Yuanzi laughed and admitted it frankly.

"Hmph, I knew it. Although you and I are a bit closer than the others, we haven't reached the point where you would come to visit me as soon as you came out of seclusion. What is the matter? Let's hear it," Marquis Golden Flame said with an expressionless face.

"Brother Golden, you're wrong. I didn't come to beg you this time, but to make a mutually beneficial deal. If you feel even the slightest bit dissatisfied, I will never force you," Qing Tian Yuanzi's face sank, and his voice sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

"Haha, what I said just now was just a joke. Given the friendship between you and me, Brother, for so many years, as long as it's not something too difficult, how could I not agree?" Marquis Golden Flame looked deeply at Qing Tian Yuanzi before laughing again.

"Since Brother Golden has said so, I will speak frankly. I remember that when I visited last time, Brother Golden was particularly interested in my 'Nine-Pupil Pearl' and was willing to exchange some treasures for it. But because I also needed this treasure to refine some items at the time, I didn't agree. This time, I have brought this pearl and intend to exchange it for some things I need. I wonder what Brother Golden thinks?" After Qing Tian Yuanzi finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeve toward the table nearby.

Immediately, after a flash of golden light, a jade-green, dripping jade box appeared there.

"Nine-Pupil Pearl!"

Upon hearing Qing Tian Yuanzi's words, Marquis Golden Flame, who had been composed, had his pupils shrink, and "Swish," his gaze fell on the jade box on the table. Finally, it seemed he used all his strength to force himself to look away.

"Brother Jiang has actually brought out this treasure. I have nothing to say. What do you want to exchange for from me, Brother? As long as it's not those few items I absolutely cannot part with, any other treasure is fine," clearly, the item in the box was highly valued by Marquis Golden Flame, and he asked back without a moment's hesitation.

Han Li, standing on the side, saw this and felt happy in his heart.

Looking at the situation, there was a great hope of exchanging for the Nether River Divine Milk from the other party.

"Three bottles of Nether River Divine Milk and a piece of Breath-Soil!" Qing Tian Yuanzi smiled slightly and said.

"Impossible! Although the Nine-Pupil Pearl is miraculous in refining, it is far from enough to exchange for these things at once. Not to mention the Nether River Divine Milk, that Breath-Soil is almost the ultimate material for refining earth-attribute treasures. There are almost no other earth-attribute materials in the world that can compare to it. Moreover, although I have obtained a little of this soil, it is also used for refining protective treasures for my next tribulation. How can I easily exchange it with others!" The golden-crowned man shook his head like a rattle as soon as he heard this.

"I naturally know what Brother said. However, what if I add these three things? What does Brother think then!" Qing Tian Yuanzi wasn't surprised by Marquis Golden Flame's refusal, but instead smiled confidently and shook his long sleeve again, and three strange, prism-shaped objects appeared on the table.

These three objects, which looked like spearheads, were the size of a fist, golden and brilliant, as if they were golden spearheads shrunken by a few points.

On the surface of these objects, there were strange, bright red runes, dense and mysterious.

Marquis Golden Flame saw these three things, was slightly stunned, looked at them carefully for a few glances, and it seemed he didn't see what they were for a moment, so he immediately reached out and grabbed into the void.

"Swish!" One of the objects immediately flew into the air and was snatched into the golden-crowned man's hand, who then lowered his head to examine it carefully.

"Could this be..."

At the same time, Han Li looked at the other two golden objects remaining on the table and actually sensed an extremely familiar aura from them, feeling a burst of shock and uncertainty in his heart.

After examining the golden object in his hand for a while, Marquis Golden Flame's face gradually became moved.

"I'm not quite sure, but it looks like the legendary Vajra Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunder!" Marquis Golden Flame finally raised his head and asked Qing Tian Yuanzi with some uncertainty.

"Good eye! Back then, I obtained some leaves of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, and then, matching them with many other thunder-attribute materials and borrowing the power of Heavenly Thunder, I spent several hundred years refining only six or seven of them. Now, I, Jiang, have brought out half of the quantity at once, which shows my sincerity. Brother Golden, your next Great Heavenly Tribulation won't be too far away, right? The Heavenly Gang Demon-Extinguishing Thunder is the best sharp weapon for dealing with those Heavenly Demons from outside the realm. And Heavenly Demons from outside the realm appear only when you break through the Mahayana bottleneck and during the tribulation after the Mahayana stage, and they are impossible to guard against. Ordinary treasures have very little effect on them. If you have this thunder on you, wouldn't it be a hundred times stronger than any treasure you refine to protect your heart? If it weren't for the fact that I had enough quantity from the next refining, I would never have taken it out for exchange," Qing Tian Yuanzi replied with a half-smile.
