Chapter 735: Turning Point (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"Fifty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, five pieces of treasure material, five pieces of innate spiritual material, one piece of innate treasure material, five Dao-Evolution Pearls of Little Tianyang Xingjun level, three Dao-Evolution Pearls of Great Tianyang Xingjun level, one Dao-Evolution Pearl of Tianyang Xingjun level!

Your Highness, are you crazy or did I hear wrong? Even a lion's open mouth doesn't open like this, right?"

Inside the main hall of the Yutang King's residence, hearing Yutang King Zhu Shizhen's asking price, even though Tianyang Xingjun Xiji, Liu Xi, had experienced all kinds of scenes, he was still shocked by this asking price.

This wasn't a lion's open mouth; this was swallowing the sky with a red mouth!

If he really had so many treasures, would he have bothered to come to the door and beg humbly to exchange back the West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner?

Wouldn't it be better to just forge a new one?

Fortunately, Liu Xi understood the principle of "asking for a sky-high price and paying back on the ground."

So he started haggling with Yutang King Zhu Shizhen on the spot and didn't just flick his sleeves and leave.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have been scared away directly by this asking price.

On the other side, Xu Jin listened to the two of them haggling, but calculated the cultivation resources he needed.

Zhu Shizhen and Liu Xi kept haggling, just waiting for Xu Jin to give his requirements.

Xu Jin's requirements were the final price list.

At this very moment, Xu Jin's thoughts turned rapidly as he made his decision.

First, the thing that must be obtained was Zhou Tian Star Dew.

This thing, the more the better.

The power of the Eight-Zhai Xing Lou merging into one had been thoroughly manifested in the great battle in the Xiazhu Star Domain.

With the Eight-Zhai Xing Lou merged into one, Xu Jin was already close to or not weaker than a Little Tianyang Xingjun in terms of star power.

Coupled with the powerful blessing of the Great World Origin Star and the Arena of Battle, he was able to kill those Guan Xiaoxing Lords in one or two breaths.

Therefore, continuing to forge Star Towers was still Xu Jin's fastest way to become stronger.

Next were the life-bound spiritual treasures.

If he could forge one or two life-bound spiritual treasures, Xu Jin's combat power would inevitably increase greatly.

Xu Jin already had a set of materials for forging a Wood-attribute life-bound spiritual treasure given by his master; after spending some time, he could forge it successfully.

But what Xu Jin urgently needed were a spatial life-bound spiritual treasure and a Thunder-attribute life-bound spiritual treasure.

If he forged a spatial life-bound spiritual treasure, then with the double blessing of the life-bound spiritual treasure and the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower, the power of the spatial law Dao would increase significantly again.

At the same time, Xu Jin could even evolve a third or even a fourth spatial law Dao, increasing his combat power again.

If he forged a Thunder-attribute life-bound spiritual treasure, the choice would be different again.

It was already early June.

The treatment for a First-Class Dao-Child of the Dongxuan Dao Palace included three opportunities to comprehend the Law Heaven Road per year, and Xu Jin had already used two.

The most recent one was at the end of June.

If he could successfully forge the Thunder-attribute life-bound spiritual treasure before the Law Heaven Road opened at the end of June, then Xu Jin would prepare to attempt to climb to the peak of the Thunder-attribute Law Heaven Road during the comprehension opportunity at the end of June.

If successful, and with the life-bound spiritual treasure suppressing it, Xu Jin said he might be able to evolve three Thunder-attribute law Daos in one go.

At that time, his combat power would definitely advance greatly.

These two items were the best choices.

At the same time, whether it was the treasure material for forging a spatial life-bound spiritual treasure or the treasure material for forging a Thunder-attribute life-bound spiritual treasure, both were relatively rare and hard to find.

If he could get Tianyang Xingjun Xiji to get one or two for him, Xu Jin already had a non-attribute innate crystal egg in his hands.

At the very least, he could achieve a life-bound spiritual treasure with a very high growth ceiling.

His combat power could increase greatly again.

While pondering, Xu Jin made a decision and immediately transmitted to Zhu Linxiao.

"Zhou Tian Star Dew, the more the better. Besides this, spatial or Thunder-attribute treasure materials, if you can get one or two, can also make my combat power soar. These are my biggest needs right now; you guys can handle the rest," Xu Jin transmitted to Zhu Linxiao.

Receiving Xu Jin's transmission, Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, who was haggling with Liu Xi, tightened his chubby face and immediately said, "Liu Xingjun, thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, two types of spatial treasure materials, two types of Thunder-attribute treasure materials—this is our bottom line for the exchange."

"My Tianyang Xingjun Xiji residence doesn't even have ten drops of surplus Zhou Tian Star Dew in a year; where do you expect me to find thirty drops for you?

Also, Your Highness, don't you know that the market price for spatial treasure materials is three times that of Five-Element treasure materials, and Thunder-attribute treasure materials are twice the price of Five-Element treasure materials?

At this value, it's impossible to make a deal!

If Your Highness is unwilling to exchange, just say so," Liu Xi said dissatisfiedly.

"According to what I know, Liu Xingjun used two types of spatial treasure materials just to forge that West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner, plus an innate spiritual material of the spatial system, and other precious auxiliary materials, only then achieving this supreme-grade spatial suppression artifact, the West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner," Zhu Shizhen laughed.

Zhu Linxiao, who was on the side, immediately added, "What do these investments count for? The important thing is that Liu Xingjun has nurtured this West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner with his own power for at least eighty years, making its power even stronger.

Once you attain the Dao as a True Person, this West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner can be upgraded to a True Person killing weapon before long!

The kind with extraordinary power."

Liu Xi's expression was ugly, but he still shook his head firmly, "The logic is sound, but it is true that I cannot take it out!

This asking price is enough to bankrupt my Tianyang Xingjun Xiji residence.

The market price for one piece of spatial treasure material requires at least thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, and one piece of Thunder-attribute treasure material requires twenty drops, and that's the lowest price.

The total value you want exceeds one hundred and thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, and the final cost might be as high as over one hundred and fifty drops.

Even if you sell my Tianyang Xingjun Xiji residence, we can't scrape together that much," Liu Xi refused again.

Xu Jin, who was on the side, just smiled and watched them bargain.

To tell the truth, this feeling of watching others get slaughtered and having the benefits go to himself in the end was quite refreshing.

Zhu Shizhen looked at Zhu Linxiao and said slowly, "Thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, one type of spatial treasure material, two types of Thunder-attribute treasure materials—this is the lowest price."

"Can't do it, and I can't take it out!"

Liu Xi shook his head again, "Ten drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, one type of spatial treasure material, one type of Thunder-attribute treasure material—this is the highest price I can give!"

"Slap!"

The next instant, Zhu Linxiao stood up from the table and said directly to Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, "Shizhen, since it's at this price, why bother talking! You go to the Tongtian Tower at the Dao Palace right now and hang the West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner for auction.

At that time, even if it's sold cheaply, it can still fetch two or three types of treasure materials."

Upon hearing this, Yutang King Zhu Shizhen nodded repeatedly, "Right, in the summary, just say this is a supreme-grade suppression artifact forged by Tianyang Xingjun Xiji to assist in attaining the Dao, which can increase the probability of attaining the Dao as a True Person by ten percent.

At that time, bidders will inevitably swarm in."

Tianyang Xingjun Xiji, Liu Xi's expression changed, but he still said calmly, "Your Highness, it's meaningless for you to sing a duet like this! If this West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner is given to others, its power will inevitably drop by one or two tiers.

How about this: ten drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, one type of spatial treasure material, one type of Thunder-attribute treasure material—this is the highest price I can offer."

"At least thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew!" Zhu Linxiao shouted.

After another round of haggling, the final transaction price was set at twenty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew, one type of spatial treasure material, and one type of Thunder-attribute treasure material.

To tell the truth, this price exceeded Xu Jin's psychological expectation.

Xu Jin's previous psychological expectation was one type of treasure material and about twenty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew.

Just as Liu Xi said, the value of this West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner would be greatly discounted if it fell into the hands of other Star Lords.

He didn't expect to get two types of treasure materials.

It could be seen how much Liu Xi valued this West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner.

"Your Highness, preparation takes time; I need five to ten days to prepare the treasure materials, sell off assets, and collect Zhou Tian Star Dew before coming back to trade with you," Tianyang Xingjun Xiji, Liu Xi, said.

"You had better be quick!"

Yutang King Zhu Shizhen arched his hands lazily, "This news is known to all parties; if anyone is willing to offer a higher price, our residence of True Person Yutang has no reason to refuse." "I will be quick!"

After saying this, Tianyang Xingjun Xiji, Liu Xi, turned and left.

And the moment Tianyang Xingjun Xiji, Liu Xi, left the residence of True Person Yutang and stepped out of the gate, a secret report regarding his visit to the residence of True Person Yutang was already sent to Crown Prince Bixuan's desk, and not long after, Crown Prince Bixuan, Lu Changyan, personally sent it to True Person Bixuan.

It wasn't that he didn't dare to make the decision.

It was just that this matter was too significant.

If Tianyang Xingjun Xiji really... then the impact would be...

True Person Bixuan looked at the secret report, his eyes lowered, and after a long while, he said softly, "Do you know what he went to do?"

"Ancestor, it has already been investigated; it is said that he went to the residence of True Person Yutang to redeem his supreme-grade suppression artifact, the West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner," Crown Prince Bixuan answered.

"Oh, so quickly investigated the purpose?" True Person Bixuan was somewhat surprised.

"Ancestor, this news spread from within the Tianyang Xingjun Xiji residence; I feel it should be Liu Xi proactively releasing the news because he was afraid we would misunderstand," Crown Prince Bixuan said.

"Redeem..."

Upon hearing this, True Person Bixuan shook his head with a smile, "You don't need to worry about this matter. No, continue to let people keep an eye on it.

Once Liu Xi succeeds in redeeming it, find out the specific transaction price, and then send half of the redemption fee over."

"Ancestor, what do you mean?" Crown Prince Bixuan was somewhat puzzled.

"This thing, after all, was lost in the hands of our Lu clan. Since he is impatient, we cannot sit idly by. Paying half of the redemption fee is also a gesture; otherwise, it will just invite ridicule," True Person Bixuan said.

"The Ancestor is magnanimous; your grandson will remember."

Upon hearing this, True Person Bixuan waved his hand silently, and after Crown Prince Bixuan, Lu Changyan, left, his expression suddenly became gloomy.

"To not even have this little patience, how could I think you would have enough patience to assist my Lu clan's descendants in the future?

Not even a True Person yet, and you are already like this.

If you attain the Dao as a True Person, I fear you will become the gravedigger of the Lu clan.

It seems that not only can I not assist you in attaining the Dao as a True Person.

But before I pass away, I must also eliminate you; otherwise, you will only become a great disaster for the Lu family."

Inside the Tianyang Xingjun Xiji residence, after Liu Xingjun Xi returned to his residence and gave instructions one by one, he looked toward the direction of the residence of True Person Bixuan in a daze.

His actions today would inevitably arouse True Person Bixuan's suspicion.

However, he understood very clearly that he had nowhere else to go.

Following behind the residence of True Person Bixuan, he was the first to wield a meat-cutting knife against the residence of True Person Yutang, serving loyally for sixty or seventy years, but the matter True Person Bixuan had promised to assist him in attaining the Dao as a True Person was getting further and further away from him.

After so many years, he had thoroughly understood True Person Bixuan.

If the Bixuan Lu clan was prosperous, they would naturally help him break through.

If the Lu clan's talents were withered and their power was weak, they would inevitably delay.

He could only save himself!

As long as the West Wind Chaos-Empty Banner was in hand, and he prepared for a few more years, even without True Person Bixuan's help, he could have a thirty percent chance of attaining the Dao.

"What is held in one's own hands is the opportunity.

Waiting for others to give it is charity, and also a weakness."

Inside the Yutang King's residence main hall, Xu Jin was chatting idly with Yutang King Zhu Shizhen.

"Your Highness, actually, there is no need to keep too much Heaven and Earth Authority of the various small world star domains controlled by the King's residence locally.

In my opinion, give the Domain Lord and the Military Lord one percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority each to monitor the world.

The rest of the Heaven and Earth Authority should all be taken back.

If there is an emergency, give it to a Little Tianyang Xingjun to take over; with the blessing of about fifty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority, they can be invincible at the same tier.

This, on the contrary, is a deterrent," Xu Jin proposed his suggestion regarding the battle situation in the Xiazhu Star Domain.

Having the Domain Lord and Military Lord hold thirty percent each was truly a bit of a waste.

Once they betrayed, it would be a big trouble.

This time in the Xiazhu Star Domain battle, although Domain Lord Fang Ziqing and Military Lord Wei Song betrayed, they held onto the Heaven and Earth Authority tightly to ensure their own power.

If it were a different situation, and the sixty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority in their hands were concentrated in Lu Sheng's hands, that would be terrible.

The one being hunted all over the world would probably be Xu Jin.

In that situation, whether Xu Jin could survive was not certain, let alone sweeping through the Xiazhu Star Domain.

Heaven and Earth Authority was not just combat power blessing; the blessing in speed and information was even more important.

With the assistance of Heaven and Earth Authority, a perspective almost like the Eye of God was too difficult to deal with.

"Brother-in-law, we had thought of this point before.

Unfortunately, our residence of True Person Yutang currently only has one mobile Little Tianyang Xingjun, and his strength is average, while the Guan Xiaoxing Lords in other star domains use Heaven and Earth Authority to evolve the Dao, and their strength is even worse than Little Tianyang Xingjun Zhu Fuze.

It wasn't convenient to implement, so we didn't do it this way."

Speaking of this, Zhu Shizhen's expression suddenly became excited, "But now that we have you, brother-in-law, it's completely different.

Brother-in-law, you don't know, just from this one battle, many enemies in the small worlds that our residence of True Person Yutang was about to lose suddenly retreated and gave up completely!

The situation improved in an instant; this is just the beginning."

"The situation has improved, but without elite personnel, it still won't work; we must cultivate more Guan Xiaoxing Lords as quickly as possible!

By the way, under the residence of True Person Yutang, there should be quite a few elites whose cultivation is stuck at the Ninth-Tier peak without breaking through, right?" Xu Jin asked.

"This number is definitely large; if not ten thousand, then eight thousand," Zhu Shizhen said.

"That's easy to handle; select a portion of them and let them break through," Xu Jin said.

"But I really don't have the means to help them break through..."

Halfway through the sentence, Zhu Shizhen's gaze suddenly became pleasantly surprised, as he saw Xu Jin wave his hand and send a full fifteen portions of essence blood fetal pearls for refining Dao-Evolution Pearls in front of him.

"My spoils of war; after you arrange for them to be refined, arrange for people to use them! There should be a fifty percent probability of breakthrough, right?" Xu Jin said.

Except for the essence blood fetal pearls of Guan Xiaoxing Lords Song Ju and Lu Sheng, whose quality was relatively high and which Xu Jin kept, he gave away all the others.

First, refining required too much time, and Xu Jin didn't have that energy.

Second, it could be considered a small repayment to the residence of True Person Yutang.

Third, if the residence of True Person Yutang had a few more Guan Xiaoxing Lords, Xu Jin would be more relaxed in the future.

He wouldn't have to run errands for everything.

"There is, there should be!" Yutang King Zhu Shizhen was overjoyed, "But brother-in-law, these are your spoils of war."

"You didn't have so much nonsense when you were raising and borrowing Zhou Tian Star Dew for me before." While speaking, Xu Jin patted Zhu Shizhen on the shoulder, then pulled Zhu Linxiao and soared into the sky, returning to his Offering Residence together; it was time to get down to business.

Inside the main hall, Yutang King Zhu Shizhen looked at the fifteen portions of essence blood fetal pearls for refining Dao-Evolution Pearls in front of him, the fat on his cheeks trembling constantly with excitement.

A sense of excitement welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Shizhen knew that the turning point for their residence of True Person Yutang had arrived!

From today on, it would be the starting point for the residence of True Person Yutang to turn from decline to prosperity!

In the future, not only was there hope, but it would be very different!

"However, brother-in-law's cultivation needs are always the number one priority; I still have to urge that fellow Liu Xi, and I have to think of other ways..."
