Chapter 442: Ransom-For-Money (2)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Although Huyan Chi was old-fashioned, he loved talent and was very tolerant towards cultivators with talent in artifact refinement.
Back then, Ye Wudao had slandered him in the Cloud Sky Hall of the Heaven Essence Sword Sect because of his identity and background. It was Hall Master Huyan who had stood up for him.
Speaking of which, Chen Daoxuan owed the other party a big favor.
At this moment, when Chen Daoxuan heard that Perfected Lord Yuan Chen and Huyan Chi had a good personal relationship, and that he loved his family, his impression of him immediately improved.
“According to what 1 know, Hall Master Huyan is focused on the Dao of Artifact Refining. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yuan Chen is also…”
“That’s right,”
Perfected Lord Yuan Chen nodded with a smile and said,” I’m a fifth tier middle-grade weapons craftsman.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan’s eyes widened in shock.
What was the concept of a fifth tier middle grade Weapons Craftsman?
Chen Daoxuan himself was also a refiner, but because he did not lack resources, he gradually gave up on the path of refining.
Therefore, Chen Daoxuan’s refining level was only at the third grade.
Just as Huyan Chi had said, the path of artifact refinement was broad and profound. Even with the help of the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture, it would still be difficult for Chen Daoxuan to improve without hard work.
And this Perfected Lord Yuan Chen in front of him was actually a fifth tier middle-grade weapon craftsman. This was something that Chen Daoxuan had never expected.
At first, Chen Daoxuan was still puzzled. Although Perfected Lord Yuanchen’s cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, where did he get so many spirit stones to build such a huge immortal city?
Now…He understood!
It was simply too easy for a fifth tier middle grade Weapons Craftsman to want to earn money.
If Chen Daoxuan had remembered correctly, there seemed to be only two fifth-level craftsmen in the entire Infinite Star Sea, Huyan Chi and Perfected Lord Yuan Chen.
In the entire Infinite Star Sea, there were many fourth-tier craftsmen who could forge magic weapons for a Golden Core, but there were only two fifth-tier craftsmen.
Suddenly, Chen Daoxuan seemed to have thought of something and asked,””Since Fellow Daoist is a Fifth Tier Armament Master, why does the Jiang Clan have such a huge grudge with Fellow Daoist?”
Offending a Fifth Grade Master was completely different from offending a Nascent Soul.
Armament masters and alchemists were rich and handsome professions. Compared to cultivators, not only did they have a much higher income, but they also had a much wider network.
For example, Perfected Lord Yuan Chen was not only good friends with Huyan Chi, but he could also talk to a top Perfected Lord like the Sea Suppressing Palace Hall Master.
Other Nascent Soul cultivators, such as the Sea Suppressing Hall Master, might not even be interested in him.
Don’t think that just because they have the same cultivation level, they can talk equally.
For example, Fairy Chi Yao and Yang Linyuan were both Zifu Disciples. Could the two of them speak as equals?
Not to mention the difference in background, just the difference in strength was so great that it made people despair.
Although the difference between Nascent Soul cultivators wasn’t as exaggerated as that between Zifu Disciples, for those who could reach the Nascent Soul stage, the Law Realm was the basic threshold.
Unlike the Purple Prefecture Realm, there were those who had not even reached the first level of the Great Dao Realm, while there were those who had already reached the third or even fourth level of the Great Dao Realm.
The difference in strength between Zifu Disciples could be said to be one of the greatest differences between different levels of cultivation.
Even so, the gap between a top Perfected Cultivator and an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator was still shocking.
It could even be said that a top-tier True Monarch could instantly kill an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
With such a huge difference in strength, how could the two sides speak on equal footing?
The so-called equal status was built on the basis of equal strength. Even if the first branch was not strong enough, at least the other side had something that the other side could take a fancy to.
Otherwise, why would the other party acknowledge you and be willing to sit down and talk to you?
Perfected Lord Yuan Chen was able to communicate with a top Perfected Lord because of his top refining skills.
Chen Daoxuan could be treated with respect by Dao Lord Yuanchen because he saw the potential in Chen Daoxuan.
In addition, Chen Daoxuan seemed to have some dirty dealings with the Jiang family, and the relationship between the two sides did not seem to be harmonious.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Chen Daoxuan, a Golden Core with amazing talent, was obviously a natural ally of Perfected Lord Yuan Chen.
The Jiang Family of Tai Province was a hegemon family that ruled over a province. The reason why Yuan Chen Immortal City could contend with them wasn’t just because of the power of Yuan Chen Immortal City.
There was also Perfected Lord Yuan Chen’s connections. It was because of these connections that the Jiang Family could not do anything about Yuan Chen Immortal City for so many years.
In the main hall.
When Perfected Lord Yuan Chen heard this question, he put down the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile,””Because 1 wasn’t a fifth ranked Armament Master at that time. In these two hundred years, it wasn’t that the Jiang Clan didn’t find someone to make peace with me but 1 never agreed.”
As he spoke, Perfected Lord Yuan Chen took a sip of wine.” Do you know why?”
Chen Daoxuan shook his head.
“Because I can’t calm down!”
Perfected Lord Yuan Chen slammed his wine glass on the table.” I’ve cultivated to this day and experienced so many difficulties and dangers. Is it just to survive?”
Speaking of this, Perfected Lord Yuan Chen became slightly agitated.”Back then, the Jiang Family was powerful and forced me out of Tai Province. At that time, 1 was like a stray dog, constantly being hunted down by the Nascent Souls of the Jiang Family!
After the establishment of the city, it was suppressed by the Jiang Family. If it wasn’t for my connections, this city would have been destroyed.
Tell me, can I let go of such a huge grudge?”
Chen Daoxuan drank a cup of wine and said,”How can we forget the irreconcilable hatred?””
“You’re right, you’re right.”
Perfected Lord Yuanchen took a deep breath.” The hatred between me and the Jiang Family is irreconcilable!”
After a while.
Perfected Lord Yuan Chen exhaled a breath of alcohol and said with a smile,””Speaking of making peace, I really have someone here who wants to make peace with you.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan immediately smiled and said,”Are you talking about the ancestor of the Ji Family, Ji Changsheng?”
“Haha, 1 can’t hide it from Chen Daoxuan. It’s Old Ancestor Ji.”
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Daoxuan with a smile.”The Ji Family is willing to pay a large sum of ransom in exchange for Ji Xuhui.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan was slightly curious.””A hefty ransom?”
“Yes,”
Perfected Lord Yuanchen stretched out three fingers.” 30 billion spirit stones.”
“A big deal!”
Chen Daoxuan nodded.
30 billion Spiritual Stones was a huge sum even for the Ji Family.
It could be seen that the Ji Family had also paid a huge price in exchange for Ji Xuhui.
But then, Chen Daoxuan shook his head.””Unfortunately…Ji Xuhui has already been killed by me!
“On the way here, 1 used spatial laws to completely obliterate his physical body and golden core!”
Upon hearing that Ji Xuhui had already been crushed to ashes by Chen Daoxuan, Perfected Lord Yuanchen was stunned at first, but then he laughed out loud.”Aren’t you afraid that Old Ancestor Ji will find trouble with you? One had to know that Old Ancestor Ji’s strength was not considered weak among Nascent Soul cultivators.”
“Back then, Fellow Daoist Yuanchen was alone. Not only was he not afraid of three Nascent Souls who were even stronger than you, but he even established an immortal city in front of their door.”
Hearing these powerful words.
Perfected Lord Yuan Chen immediately drank a cup of wine and then smashed the cup.”Awesome!”
Chen Daoxuan also smiled and drank a cup of wine.
“It’s a pity that I can’t be the peacemaker.” Perfected Lord Yuan Chen shook his head.”
“Since Senior Immortal can’t be a peacemaker, why don’t the two of us talk about a new cooperation?”
“Oh?”
Perfected Lord Yuan Chen’s interest was piqued when he heard Chen Daoxuan mention cooperation.
In his mind, the thing he wanted to work with Chen Daoxuan the most was to form an alliance with him after he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage to fight against the Jiang family of Taizhou.
In Perfected Lord Yuanchen’s opinion, with Chen Daoxuan’s talent, once he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, it was hard to say whether he could become a top Perfected Lord in the future, but his strength was definitely much stronger than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators!
Given Perfected Lord Yuan Chen’s personality, he would definitely invest in such a top genius who had a grudge against the Jiang Family.
Seeing Perfected Lord Yuan Chen’s interested eyes, Chen Daoxuan slowly told him about the cooperation between the two sides.
“You mean, you want to sell your Chen Family’s magic tools and pills to my Yuan Chen Immortal City?”
Upon hearing this cooperation, to be honest, Perfected Lord Yuan Chen felt a little disappointed.
The cooperation he was thinking of was much deeper than this.
In his opinion, even though the Chen family was a new Golden Core family in Cang Prefecture, their foundation was still shallow. Even if they sold magic tools and pills, how much could they provide?
However, as Chen Daoxuan gave the transaction amount for the magical equipment and medicinal pills, Perfected Lord Yuan Chen was stunned..
