I am truly sorry.

……

Who in the Honghuang doesn't know that Di Qi is generous to the concubines in his harem, and equally unsparing toward the families of those concubines.

Huang Feiyan's Huang Family is now the number one noble family of Great Shang; they have seven Golden Immortals alone, and surprisingly, they even possess a Golden Immortal-level Warship belonging exclusively to their own family.

Their fief is a Dongtian Fudi spanning nearly ten thousand li.

Aside from a few who were wiped out for rebellion, such as Zhou Ji and Feng Yanran, even the imperial concubines without rank have seen their families develop into first-class noble families of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, with Peak Profound Immortals presiding over them.

If one could send the women of their own clan or sect into the harem, how many benefits could they obtain from the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty!

Perhaps they could even obtain technical data for the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades at the Profound Immortal level, or even the Golden Immortal level.

Thus, seeing the Dragon Clan succeed, the other major powers followed suit one after another.

Only Yaoshi Fo felt bitter.

Their Buddhism naturally does not lack female disciples, but marriage is forbidden, so there is no point in thinking about marriage alliances.

Facing the requests from all parties, Yin Qi agreed to them all.

It was not just to collect the Nine Yin Power; he wants the Ten Thousand Races to respect the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty together in the future, and marriage alliances are not a bad opportunity right now.

The "nine" of the Nine Yin refers to the Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, God, Witch, Demon, Asura, Human, and Ghost.

He has already gathered the Phoenix, Demon, Asura, and Human; now, adding the Dragon and Qilin, he only lacks the God, Witch, and Ghost.

Nuwa has already been conquered, so the God is effectively firmly in his grasp.

In reality, he only lacks the Witch and the Ghost.

Among the hundreds of envoys in this great hall, only the Wu Clan and the Underworld did not send anyone.

………

After leaving the Imperial Palace, the envoys from all sides reported back to their clans or sects.

Powers at the Quasi-Saint level and above purchased all the technical data for Golden Immortal-level Warships and Heavenly Immortal-level Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades.

As for the Daluo-level powers, they chose either Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or single secondary trades like Talismans or Array Formations; such prices were barely affordable for them.

After receiving the reports, the various powers were naturally overjoyed.

Of course, Yin Qi was even more overjoyed.

He calculated that the transaction volume had reached a staggering nearly two hundred trillion Immortal Crystals; converted into various Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, he didn't know how many Thirteenth-Tier Evolution Fluid or Daluo-level Warships could be refined.

Just as he returned to Zichen Hall, a voice rang in his ears: "Di Qi, may you come out for a meeting?"

Haotian!

A look of surprise flashed in Yin Qi's eyes.

This cheap father-in-law had actually descended to the lower realm.

His heart stirred, and he guessed the reason almost immediately; it was likely the pressure brought about by the alliance between the Demon Race, Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Thinking of this, he left behind a Clone.

……

Above the firmament of Zhaoge.

Haotian stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a royal robe, his face full of majesty.

Yin Qi walked out from the void, first cupping his hands in a salute: "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor," then bowing again: "Your son-in-law, Yin Qi, greets you, Father-in-law."

Haotian nodded slightly, a smile at the corners of his eyes; he was very satisfied with Yin Qi's attitude.

In terms of status, he is the Heavenly Emperor and Yin Qi is the Human Emperor, so their statuses are equal; in terms of combat power, Yin Qi can suppress the Quasi-Saint Peak, so he can naturally treat him as an equal.

But in terms of identity, Yin Qi is his son-in-law, so the necessary respect must be shown. Haotian did not beat around the bush and said directly: "The Demon Race has already allied with Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun. Next, they will certainly take action against my Heavenly Court and your Great Shang Celestial Dynasty. Only by forming an alliance can we resist them. What do you think?"

Yin Qi nodded and said: "The Heavenly Emperor's words are reasonable. My Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Heavenly Court."

"Good!"

Haotian said: "Although it is an offensive and defensive alliance, you and I are also in-laws. I hope you can respect me on the surface, but I can guarantee that I will not interfere in the affairs of the Human Race."

His goal is to be the Lord of the Three Realms, even if Yin Qi's combat power might be above his own.

At least on the surface, he still hopes to become the Lord of the Three Realms.

Yin Qi frowned slightly, shook his head, and said: "Heavenly Emperor, public is public, and private is private. In private, I am your son-in-law and will naturally respect and honor you; but in public matters, I cannot lower myself, as this concerns the national prestige of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty."

Haotian had only said it casually; he hadn't actually expected Yin Qi to agree.

He nodded and said: "What you say is reasonable; in that case, let it be. However, I hope to obtain the refining methods for Golden Immortal-level Warships, as well as the technical data for the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades below the Golden Immortal level."

Yin Qi was so angry he laughed.

This Haotian has such a huge appetite.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book...!

But after all, he is Longji Gongzhu's father, so he couldn't bring himself to say anything too harsh.

Thus, he shook his head and said: "The technical data for Golden Immortal-level Warships and Golden Immortal-level Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades is of such great importance. Even the major industrial zones of my Great Shang Celestial Dynasty have not mastered these technologies."

Haotian was not angry either, and said: "In that case, I will purchase a batch of Seven-Turn Golden Pill and Golden Immortal Liquid with money; you surely won't refuse that, right? And for the Golden Immortal-level Warships and Heavenly Immortal-level technical data, won't you give me a discount?"

Yin Qi also came back to his senses.

The other party's earlier buildup was probably for this very moment.

Thinking that the Heavenly Court is still the main force resisting the Wu and Demon Races, and that he is Longji Gongzhu's father, he thought for a moment and said: "For the Seven-Turn Golden Pill and Golden Immortal Liquid, I will give you a 20% discount based on the prices of the Primordial Mall.

The Golden Immortal-level Warships will also have a 20% discount.

As for the Heavenly Immortal-level technical data, I will give it to you for free.

However, I do not want Immortal Crystals; I only want various Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of equal value."

"What about the quantities?"

Haotian's eyes lit up.

A twenty percent discount was no small gesture.

Yin Qi said: "Seven-Turn Golden Pill and Golden Immortal Liquid, ten portions every hundred years. Golden Immortal-level Warship, five vessels every hundred years; as for warships and Pill below the Golden Immortal-level, they are also twenty percent off, but with no quantity limit."

Haotian was, after all, the attendant of Hongjun Daozu, having followed Hongjun Daozu for tens of millions of years; in terms of foundation, he was certainly no worse than the various Saints, and perhaps even more substantial, and he also coveted the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure on the other party.

Being able to cultivate a powerful ally to stand in front of him against the Witch and Demon, while also taking the opportunity to make a profit, was killing two birds with one stone.

Haotian was delighted: "Good. The hundred-year quota for the Seven-Turn Golden Pill, Golden Immortal Liquid, and Golden Immortal-level Warship, I will take first. In addition, give me ten thousand Mysterious Immortal Class Warship; five hundred thousand Heavenly Immortal-grade Warship; and one million Earth Immortal Realm Warship. Furthermore, for the Six-Turn Golden Pill, Five-Turn Golden Pill, and Four-Turn Golden Pill, give me ten thousand, five hundred thousand, and one million pieces respectively."

Yin Qi gasped: "Heavenly Emperor, such a massive quantity comes at a high price, and I do not accept credit."

Haotian chuckled: "Rest assured, I can still produce this much. By the way, how long until delivery?"

Yin Qi said: "Payment first, then goods; I will have them ready within ten years."

"That works!"

Haotian nodded readily.

Although it was payment first and goods later, Yin Qi had already offered such a large discount that he could not pretend not to see it.

Moreover, he believed that Yin Qi would not renege on the debt.

For one, both parties were already allies, and it was impossible for Yin Qi to lose the big for the sake of the small.

Secondly, there was the father-in-law and son-in-law relationship; even if they were not allies, for the sake of Longji Gongzhu, it was impossible for Yin Qi to cheat him.

Thirdly, it was naturally his confidence in his own strength.

He was, after all, a Peak Quasi-Saint; it was impossible for Yin Qi to offend him to death over these cultivation resources. (End of chapter)
