Chapter 979: Xiang Yutian's Visit (First update, requesting everything)

Dai Kingdom capital, Imperial Palace, Chongming Hall!

Chongming Hall is located in the center of the Imperial Palace; it is a spacious and imposing palace, built by the Imperial Family of the Dai Kingdom specifically for Li Zhangsheng.

Inside Chongming Hall, Li Zhangsheng received his visitor.

The visitor was handsome and dashing, dressed in brocade robes, and faintly carried an air of arrogance, yet upon seeing Li Zhangsheng, he subconsciously suppressed this arrogance entirely.

There was no helping it; the gap was too great.

Once upon a time, the two were on the same level, but in just two months, Li Zhangsheng had become a King, and the key was his age.

Li Zhangsheng sat in the main seat and made a gesture of invitation. After the visitor sat in the guest seat, he feigned ignorance and asked, "Second Prince, what brings you to my backwater?"

The visitor was none other than the Second Prince of the Tianling Empire, Xiang Yutian. The two had once had a conflict, which ended in Li Zhangsheng's victory, causing Xiang Yutian to lose face, suffer a great blow to his prestige, and lose his position as captain.

In the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng had also stepped in first to snatch away the Profound Meaning Crystal he was pursuing, so there was naturally a significant conflict between them.

Yet at that time, Xiang Yutian had endured it, which actually caused Li Zhangsheng to raise his evaluation of him; at the time, he had also conveniently given Xiang Yutian a list of items.

If Xiang Yutian possessed some of the items on the list, he was willing to trade that Profound Meaning Crystal with him.

Now that Xiang Yutian had come, it meant he had collected the treasures Li Zhangsheng needed, which was why he had deigned to come to the Dai Kingdom.

The awkward part was that some time ago, Li Zhangsheng had already given the Profound Meaning Crystal in his possession to Xu Wenhua and Zuo Qiulin; now he only had two Secondary Mystery Crystals in his hand, which were a Secondary Earth Essence Crystal and a Secondary Water Essence Crystal, respectively.

However, two inferior items added together were not as valuable as one genuine one.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng still received Xiang Yutian, because he had substitutes in his hand.

"With His Majesty the All-King presiding, how could the Dai Kingdom be a backwater?"

Xiang Yutian retorted with a question, took the opportunity to flatter Li Zhangsheng, and lowered his posture extremely low.

Now that Li Zhangsheng was a King, while he was still a Pseudo-King, the status of the two had already shifted.

Although he was the Second Prince of the Tianling Empire, Xiang Yutian could be considered a strange fellow, being extremely shameless.

"His Majesty the All-King, does what you said last time in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm still count?"

Xiang Yutian's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement; in order to collect the items on the list, he had paid a great price and had even cashed in favors for it.

"Naturally it counts, but it is very unfortunate that I no longer have any Profound Meaning Crystals in my hand."

Hearing Li Zhangsheng say this, Xiang Yutian's eyes froze for a moment, and his expectant gaze instantly turned into disappointment and annoyance.

However, he took a deep breath and quickly suppressed the Anger in his heart.

Xiang Yutian had a lot of self-awareness; since he knew he was no match for Li Zhangsheng, even if he were angrier, it would be of no use, not to mention he did not want to be targeted by Li Zhangsheng.

"However, I do have some substitutes in my hand, and I believe you will be satisfied! Of course, the premise for everything is that you can afford the price!"

While speaking, two Secondary Mystery Crystals and a Jade Bottle containing two Ten Directions Nether Pills appeared in Li Zhangsheng's hand.

"I won't say much about these two Secondary Mystery Crystals. This Jade Bottle contains two Ten Directions Nether Pills. These are top-tier Alchemical Pills that can assist Demon Pets in breaking through to the Demon King level; they can increase the probability by about thirty percent. What do you think?"

Although in terms of probability, the Ten Directions Nether Pill is not as good as a Profound Meaning Crystal, its advantage is also very prominent: it can be absorbed together with a Profound Meaning Crystal, including a Secondary Mystery Crystal.

If a Ten Directions Nether Pill is paired with a Secondary Mystery Crystal, the effect is not inferior to a genuine Profound Meaning Crystal at all.

Of course, if you use a Ten Directions Nether Pill paired with a genuine Profound Meaning Crystal, plus the Demon Pet's original breakthrough probability, as long as your luck isn't so bad that it invokes the wrath of heaven and earth, you can basically break through to the Demon King level steadily.

After listening to Li Zhangsheng's introduction, Xiang Yutian, who had been full of disappointment, became excited again.

He never expected that Li Zhangsheng would actually have two Ten Directions Nether Pills in his hand.

As the Second Prince of the Kailing Empire, Xiang Yutian was knowledgeable and had naturally heard of the Ten Directions Nether Pill; it was rumored to be the secret of the Pill King, and he did not know how Li Zhangsheng had obtained it.

Of course, he was also very greedy for those two Secondary Mystery Crystals, though they were not as good as the Ten Directions Nether Pills.

"I can!"

With an excited mood, Xiang Yutian hurriedly nodded in agreement.

However, just as Xiang Yutian was about to act, Li Zhangsheng reached out to stop him and said, "Before that, I must state that after two months, some items on that list no longer possess trade value."

Li Zhangsheng had robbed the Royal Treasury of the Langya Kingdom, and with the Treasure King's collection, he no longer needed certain items.

Xiang Yutian's heart trembled, but he still nodded helplessly; after all, it was his own fault for collecting too slowly.

"This is the new list!"

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took out a list, which floated lightly toward Xiang Yutian.

This list was slightly different from the previous one; it reduced some items and also added some, and what was listed on it were all urgently needed items.

Xiang Yutian checked it carefully, and after reading it, he was visibly relieved; most of the treasures he had collected had not been eliminated.

Immediately, Xiang Yutian took out a wooden box, and after opening it, it revealed two large and five small green crystals.

For a moment, the air in the entire palace seemed to become much fresher.

"These are seven Wood Elemental Crystals. If it weren't for the short time, I could have collected more."

"Not bad!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded; if Kailan wanted to advance further, she needed a large amount of Wood Elemental Crystals.

At this moment, Xiang Yutian took out another Space Ring, and after handing it to Li Zhangsheng, he said, "This contains 105 Moon Elf corpses, among which two are corpses of the Moon Elf Royal Family."

Li Zhangsheng took the ring, and after checking it, he nodded with satisfaction. Although even if these Moon Elf corpses were purified, they would not be enough to let Kailan advance further, it could be considered a significant supplement, and he believed that a few more times would satisfy Kailan's promotion conditions.

"This is a Geng Metal Elite!"

Unlike before, when taking out the Geng Metal Elite, Xiang Yutian could not help but feel a bit of heartache; after all, this thing could also improve his own combat power.

Li Zhangsheng did not speak and continued to look at Xiang Yutian.

At this moment, Xiang Yutian took out a piece of wood, no, it should be a tree branch, that was nearly twenty meters long.

This was a tree branch covered with mysterious yellow patterns; looking at its cross-section, it seemed very fresh, as if it had just been cut off.
