Chapter 1204: Innate Geng Metal Qi (Second update, seeking all)

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, the fire-red crystal emitted the energy fluctuations of a Lower-Grade World Wonder, while the green gourd was significantly stronger, reaching the category of a Mid-grade World Wonder.

"Your Majesty, this is Great Sun Fire Essence, which belongs to the top-tier fire-attribute materials."

Before coming, Zuo Qiulin had naturally appraised it, which saved Li Zhangsheng some effort.

As for whether Zuo Qiulin had lined his own pockets or embezzled precious treasures meant for Li Zhangsheng, the probability of such a thing was extremely slim.

Zuo Qiulin was not a person of short-sighted vision; he knew very well that only by following Li Zhangsheng and serving as a diligent and conscientious head steward would he have the possibility of advancing further.

Under such circumstances, Zuo Qiulin would naturally not commit such a common-sense mistake; even if a faction offered him a Profundity Origin Crystal he desperately needed, he would obediently present it to Li Zhangsheng.

Otherwise, once he committed a fatal error and was caught by Li Zhangsheng, his future would certainly be gone, and even whether he could keep his life would be a question.

As Li Zhangsheng's head steward, after spending this period of time together, Zuo Qiulin knew Li Zhangsheng's character very well; he was absolutely a master who would not go soft, and he would not choose to show mercy for the sake of past relations, because he would nip threats in the bud.

It must be said that although the probability of Zuo Qiulin making a mistake was extremely slim, Li Zhangsheng still planted Shi Da by his side and strictly ordered that any faction or individual offering treasures must register at Chongning Hall.

In Chongning Hall, eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and appraisers were all fully staffed.

In addition, Li Zhangsheng managed the supervision quite strictly, so even if there were loopholes, they would be difficult to exploit.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng carefully examined the Great Sun Fire Essence.

As a top-tier fire-attribute material, Great Sun Fire Essence is a "specialty" from the Sun, formed after thousands upon thousands of years of condensation and fission, and it can only be produced near the core of the Sun.

It is precisely because the conditions for its birth are extremely harsh, coupled with the Sun's excessively high temperature, that the difficulty of mining it is not ordinary, which also leads to Great Sun Fire Essence being quite rare.

"Which faction offered this piece of Great Sun Fire Essence?"

Li Zhangsheng could not help but feel a bit puzzled; logically speaking, given the difficulty of mining Great Sun Fire Essence, unless one possessed special fire-controlling treasures, only an Emperor Rank could stay on the Sun for a short time.

Of course, if it were a Spirit Beast Immune to Fire, it could also be done.

It is just that besides the perversely high temperature on the Sun, there are many other dangers; at the very least, a Demon King level Fire-type Fairy would be needed to survive on the Sun for a period of time, and even then, safety could not be guaranteed during that period.

Ever since obtaining the Southern Bright Li Fire Magnet, Li Zhangsheng had been looking for top-tier fire-attribute materials; this piece of Great Sun Fire Essence was exactly what he needed, like a pillow arriving just as he felt sleepy.

"The Xi State Lu Clan!"

The Xi Kingdom is a small country near the Langya Kingdom, and being able to use the country as a prefix means that the Lu Clan belongs to a King Family.

Li Zhangsheng also had some understanding of the nearby countries, including the Xi State Lu Clan.

The current situation of the Xi State Lu Clan is not good, or one could even say it is terrible; not only did their King fall over a hundred years ago, but not long ago, even their only Pseudo-King accidentally fell, and the entire family can be described as being in a precarious situation, becoming fat meat in the eyes of some major forces.

Over this period of time, the resources controlled by the Xi State Lu Clan have clearly shrunk a lot.

Perhaps it is precisely because they are weak that the Xi State Lu Clan took the initiative to offer the Great Sun Fire Essence, wanting to take a gamble.

"Your Majesty, the Xi State Lu Clan wants to move their entire clan to our country, which requires Your Majesty's permission."

"Let's do this: I believe that before long, the Xi Kingdom will become a vassal state of the Langya Kingdom, so let the Xi State Lu Clan cooperate well when the time comes. By the way, send the Xi State Lu Clan ten quotas for the Emperor Flowing Plasma."

The Emperor Flowing Plasma quotas are calculated based on Demon Pets, which means that next year, the Xi State Lu Clan can only send ten Demon Pets to attempt a breakthrough.

Because Li Haoqiong is about to be promoted to a King, Li Zhangsheng has the idea of continuing to enclose land, and the Xi Kingdom happens to border the Langya Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom, and the Hu Kingdom, making it a place that must be contested.

As long as he occupies the Xi Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng can connect the Langya Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom, the Hu Kingdom, and the Xi Kingdom into one piece.

Therefore, Li Zhangsheng hopes that the Xi State Lu Clan will act as a guide, which will be conducive to stabilizing the rule of the Xi Kingdom.

As for the Imperial Family of the Xi Kingdom, that is not too big of a problem.

However, everything must wait until he condenses his momentum.

The so-called momentum is to be promoted to a Double-Character King and have a Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet in his hand; otherwise, if his life cannot be guaranteed, he would rather remain in seclusion.

Besides that, he also needs to find a reason to intervene in the Xi Kingdom, and in this regard, Li Zhangsheng directly left it to Zuo Qiulin.

After putting away the Great Sun Fire Essence, Li Zhangsheng's gaze focused on the green-skinned gourd.

After opening the wooden stopper, wisps of golden gas drifted out from the gourd, condensing into a mass of golden cloud gas.

This mass of cloud gas did not look ethereal; instead, it gave people a feeling of Sharpness, and it was constantly wriggling, changing shapes from time to time, as if it possessed consciousness.

After the condensation was complete, the golden cloud gas looked as if it was about to turn into a streak of light and fly away through the air.

Li Zhangsheng made no move to stop it, but as if obstructed by an invisible wall, the golden cloud gas was restricted to a small area, unable to rush out no matter what, and it hovered in front of Li Zhangsheng.

"Innate Qi!"

Li Zhangsheng judged its nature at a glance; Innate Items possess a very unique aura, and it is easy to identify them.

Since the golden cloud gas possessed energy fluctuations of a Mid-grade World Wonder and its attribute was metal, this mass of Innate Qi was naturally the so-called Innate Geng Metal Qi.

"It's a pity, if only it were Innate Jia Wood Qi or Innate Yi Wood Qi."

Li Zhangsheng was still a bit unsatisfied; if he possessed Innate Jia Wood Qi or Innate Yi Wood Qi, Kailan's Elemental Power could advance further and display stronger combat power.

Even so, the Innate Geng Metal Qi was, after all, a Mid-grade World Wonder, so its value could be imagined.

"Which faction offered this one?"

"Your Majesty, this is a treasure offered by a Monster Tamer named Lin Li!"

Hearing that it was an individual, Li Zhangsheng did not feel surprised; after all, individual Monster Tamers would also flock to the Emperor Flowing Plasma quotas.

"Oh, what are his requirements?"

Since it was Innate Geng Metal Qi, Li Zhangsheng was also willing to satisfy some of the other party's requirements.

"To receive Emperor Flowing Plasma quotas free of charge for a period of ten years, satisfying all his main Demon Pets, and he hopes that Your Majesty can bestow upon him some Superior Quality wild Spirit Beasts!"

Zuo Qiulin had clearly prepared in advance, stating all the other party's requirements for Li Zhangsheng to decide.

"Granted!"

Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment and waved his hand.

The Emperor Flowing Plasma quotas were equivalent to a business with no capital, meaning it was just a few more people; at most, it would be ten main Demon Pets, which would not take up much space at all.

As for Superior Quality Spirit Beasts, Li Zhangsheng had plenty in his possession, so he was naturally not stingy with rewards, and even bestowed a young white dragon.
