Chapter 691: The Cultivation of a Merchant Lord

At this moment.

The City Lord's Mansion of God Wood City.

This is the place closest to that divine tree. The divine tree that covers the sky and the sun is as brilliant as gold, and the light falling down gathers together, illuminating every inch of land here.

Everything seen is golden. The light here is too dazzling, as if approaching a sun. Ordinary warriors cannot stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, because the power of the divine tree will crush those weak people.

Only the people of the God Wood lineage, warriors flowing with the same God's Blood as the divine tree, can walk freely here without worrying about being hurt by the light of the divine tree. And those warriors who have patterns like golden tree leaves on their bodies are the symbol of supreme glory.

Because this is the God-Blood lineage of the God Wood lineage.

However, today.

A powerful exotic beast pulled a carriage covered with golden tree leaves and galloped on the wide road in the City Lord's Mansion.

The golden tree leaves on the carriage can isolate the damage of the divine tree light, and even ordinary people can travel on this special land. However, riding a carriage covered with golden tree leaves requires a very noble status.

But today is an exception.

Because the person sitting in the carriage is just an ordinary merchant lord in God Wood City.

"Don't try to open the cover to look outside. The light of the divine tree will instantly burn your eyes and burn your body. This place is not just as simple as the City Lord's Mansion, but also the most sacred place of the God Wood lineage."

In the carriage, there is an old man. This old man wears a coat sewn from animal skin, hunched over, and a golden tree leaf is inserted in his messy hair. That is a leaf growing on the God Wood, which is now used by this old man as a decoration.

"Master Mu Sang Gong, thank you for your reminder. This time, thanks to your introduction, I was able to enter this sacred and noble City Lord's Mansion and see the wise men of the God Wood lineage," Master Xiu Xiang said very respectfully.

This old man named Master Mu Sang Gong said calmly, "I am also a descendant of the God Wood lineage. Although the golden blood of the ancestors is no longer flowing in my body, in order to help the God Wood lineage better breed and inherit, I can do anything. Although you are just a small merchant lord, you saved two Mountain Lord-level God-Blood warriors of the God Wood lineage. Such a great kindness, whether it is me or the wise men of the God Wood lineage, will give you a generous reward."

"With these words from Master Mu Sang Gong, my heart is settled," Master Xiu Xiang said.

Master Mu Sang Gong nodded slightly and said, "Wait until the carriage stops in the shade before you go down. Avoid the place covered by the light of the divine tree. This time I will help you fight for the reward you deserve, not because of my promise, but because I want other merchant lords to see that rescuing the warriors of the God Wood lineage will bring surprising rewards. Only in this way can the God Wood family be better inherited."

"I hope the wise men of the God Wood lineage can also understand this truth." Master Xiu Xiang said calmly.

Very quickly.

The exotic beast pulled the carriage to a main hall.

This main hall blocked the light of the divine tree, so people didn't need to worry about being burned by the light.

And in this place.

Several old men of the God Wood lineage were waiting here. They heard about Mu Xi, Mu Tuo, and Mu Shu. Their group encountered a great disaster on the road, their bones didn't exist, and they didn't even know who the enemy was.

Now that a merchant lord brought the injured Mu Tuo and Mu Shu, they couldn't wait to see them.

Master Mu Sang Gong took the merchant lord Master Xiu Xiang and got off the carriage.

They looked around the surroundings, and finally fixed their eyes on the middle of the ancient main hall. There sat a strong but white-haired old man. Although this old man was old, his physique was still astonishing, and there were patterns like golden tree leaves on his skin.

Clearly, this was an old warrior, and also a God-Blood lineage.

"Master Mu Sang Gong, you should know me. I am the God-Blood lineage with the highest seniority in the God Wood lineage. You can call me Mu Wu," this old God-Blood warrior said.

"I have met the High Priest." This Master Mu Sang Gong's face immediately tightened, and he hurriedly said respectfully.

Mu Wu is the High Priest of the God Wood lineage, and his status is very noble.

"I have met the High Priest." The merchant lord Master Xiu Xiang on the side also said immediately.

Mu Wu said, "Master Mu Sang Gong, I heard that the merchant lord beside you brought two injured God-Blood warriors to my God Wood lineage?"

"Yes." Master Mu Sang Gong said, "He is the merchant lord Master Xiu Xiang. According to his description, it should be the God-Blood lineage Mu Tuo and the God-Blood warrior Mu Shu."

Mu Wu then moved his gaze to Master Xiu Xiang's body again. "Your kindness, my God Wood lineage will remember. I ask the merchant lord to send Mu Tuo and Mu Shu over. They are injured and need to be treated. I don't want to see them die because of heavy injuries, nor do I want to see their God's Blood flow out and never be able to become God-Blood warriors again."

Master Xiu Xiang was stunned for a moment, because this High Priest Mu Wu didn't say anything about a generous reward, but instead revealed a commanding tone in his words, wanting him to hand over the two injured God-Blood warriors.

Is this the arrogance of the God-Blood lineage?

It was just that he had promised Lord Dayi to bring back enough God Wood leaves. If he couldn't do this, he would rather lose his life here.

Master Xiu Xiang immediately said, "I am a merchant lord. Merchant lords pay attention to buying and selling. These two strange goods in my hands are very beautiful. I don't know what kind of reward the High Priest is willing to pay to buy these two strange goods of mine?"

As soon as this was said.

A roar came from behind the main hall: "Bold! Humble merchant lord, how dare you treat our God-Blood warriors as goods? Are you humiliating our God Wood lineage? Do you not want your head anymore?"

"High Priest, please allow me to kill this merchant lord and let others know the price of insulting our God Wood lineage."

"This merchant lord is so weak, it is impossible to have the ability to save Mu Tuo and Mu Shu. He must be deceiving us, wanting to take the opportunity to obtain rewards. Don't believe his words."

Voices filled with righteous indignation sounded, and the murderous aura permeated.

In the originally somewhat dim main hall, streaks of brilliant golden light lit up at this moment.

This is the God-Blood warriors of the God Wood lineage getting angry.

Just the anger alone seemed to want to burn Master Xiu Xiang to death.

But Master Xiu Xiang knew the danger of this trip, so he was not afraid, but stood tall, looked at the High Priest Mu Wu, and said again: "If the High Priest is unwilling to buy the two strange goods in my hands, then I have to look for another buyer. Of course, you can also kill me here. As you said, I am just a humble merchant lord, but those two God-Blood warriors, you will never be able to find them again."

"Are you threatening our God Wood lineage?" A young and powerful warrior, shirtless, carrying a long spear forged from Red Gold, strode over. He radiated an aura like the scorching sun.

On his skin, which seemed to be cast from Red Gold, were dense patterns like golden tree leaves.

Clearly, this was a powerful God-Blood warrior.

"Stop, you cannot harm a merchant lord. Do you want the God Wood lineage to be abandoned by the merchant lords of the world? Do you want the God Wood lineage to lose two God-Blood warriors because of a little money? One of them is a God-Blood lineage." Master Mu Sang Gong on the side immediately scolded.

Because he felt the astonishing killing intent radiated by this powerful God-Blood warrior.

He was afraid that the spear would dance and cut off Master Xiu Xiang's head.

That would be happy for a while, but it would make the God Wood lineage fall into an irreversible situation. He did not allow such a thing to happen.

"Your ancestors once flowed with the blood of the God Wood lineage. Now you actually speak for a humble merchant lord?" The powerful God-Blood warrior stared at Master Mu Sang Gong, killing intent lingering.

Master Mu Sang Gong said, "I am not speaking for the merchant lord, but considering the future of the God Wood lineage. High Priest, as the wise man of the God Wood lineage, you should understand what I mean."

He knew that the High Priest didn't stop all this, this was to deter this merchant lord.

If this merchant lord couldn't withstand the pressure and threats and handed over Mu Tuo and Mu Shu, that would naturally be the best.

"Mu Yan, come back. Master Mu Sang Gong is right. Don't kill a merchant lord without reason. This is inviting disaster, and he sent back two God-Blood warriors of our clan. We should repay him." The High Priest Mu Wu, as the High Priest, spoke slowly at this moment.

"Yes."

At this time, the powerful warrior didn't want to, but carried the Red Gold long spear and retreated.

At this moment, the powerful warrior reluctantly carried the long halberd cast from red gold and retreated.

Master Xiu Xiang was tense all over. He felt infinite pressure, but the cultivation of a merchant lord made him never admit defeat, but insisted on negotiating this deal.

"This merchant lord, since you choose to give up the kindness of the God Wood lineage and ask for a reward, then I naturally won't refuse. It's just that your behavior is undoubtedly picking up a stone and losing a pearl." The High Priest Mu Wu said again.

Master Xiu Xiang said, "I am just a merchant lord. Kindness is not within the scope of buying and selling. I hope these two God-Blood warriors can bring me a sufficient amount of God Wood leaves."

"One God-Blood warrior and one God-Blood lineage, is it only worth one hundred God Wood leaves? If this price is known by other Mountain Lords, then in the future, no one will go to rescue your God Wood lineage warriors."

"I would rather sell that God-Blood lineage to other Mountain Lords. I believe they will be very interested in the God's Blood of the God Wood lineage."

He said without any politeness.

The meaning was also very clear. The God-Blood lineage can breed offspring.

As long as it is used properly.

In the future, it may not be impossible to produce another God Wood lineage warrior.

The meaning was also very clear: direct descendants of divine blood could indeed reproduce.

As long as it was utilized properly.

It was not impossible for another branch of Shenmu lineage warriors to emerge in the future.
