127: A surprise
Su Bai walked out of the teleportation array, and before he could take a few steps, figures appeared in front of him.
“Greetings, One-Word Shoulder-to-Shoulder King.”
The leading guard knelt on the ground, a hint of reverence in his eyes.
“Did I get another promotion?”
Su Bai rolled his eyes at the guy in front of him and asked softly.
“That’s right, sir. You broke through the 33rd floor of the Demon Abyss and have been conferred the title of One-Word Shoulder-to-Shoulder King.”
Upon hearing this, the guard nodded and quickly said.
“Alright, you’ve worked hard. No need to be so formal. I’m heading back to the academy first.”
Su Bai summoned the Nether Mysterious Bird, sat on its back, and sped towards the academy.
“That figure looks so familiar, doesn’t it? It really does, but why can’t I remember?”
“It feels like that name is in my mind, but I just can’t recall it no matter what.”
“It seems like a very important person!”
Everyone looked up and spoke one after another.
Su Bai’s figure landed in Jiang Lin’s courtyard. The Old Man was practicing Tai Chi there, looking quite content.
“Old Man, you’re in high spirits.”
Su Bai teased him.
“Not bad. Why are you back? I was wondering why I suddenly forgot something, and it was about you, kid.”
Looking at Su Bai in front of him, Jiang Lin said.
Su Bai knew this was the Forgetting Law at work. It seemed this thing was quite good.
As long as he didn’t appear in front of them, they would definitely forget him completely.
“You are now the One-Word Shoulder-to-Shoulder King of the entire Meteor Empire. Seeing you is like seeing His Majesty.”
“From now on, you can walk sideways in this Meteor Empire.”
Looking at Su Bai in front of him, the Old Man said with a hint of sourness.
“I know about this. Is there anything else?”
Upon hearing this, Su Bai asked softly.
“There’s one more thing. According to the information from our insiders, the White Eagle Empire has already opened their divine envoy dungeon and begun to extensively cultivate prodigies both domestically and internationally.”
“Their goal is very clear: they want to target you.”
“This time, the White Eagle Empire has practically put all their old capital on the line, just to take you down.”
Jiang Lin looked at Su Bai, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
“Oh, for such a small matter, they’d need to have the ability, wouldn’t they?”
Su Bai pursed his lips, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
He didn’t even put those low-level transmigrators in his eyes.
Even a Nine Revolutions expert would have to kneel directly in front of Su Bai.
“We were thinking, since we finally have our own divine envoy, shouldn’t we also open the divine envoy secret realm?”
“I’d like you to help lead the charge, do you think you can?”
He looked at Su Bai, blinking gently, a hint of hope in his eyes.
“I’m afraid I can’t help with this.”
“You know my relationship with the gods. Do you think it’s possible for him to let me enter the divine envoy secret realm?”
Su Bai rolled his eyes and quickly explained.
That so-called god had already listed him as one of the most unwelcome people.
He wished he could stay far away from those divine seeds, so how could he let him enter the secret realm?
“That’s right, how could I forget about that?”
“Then never mind, I guess I don’t have anything else here.”
Upon hearing this, the Old Man nodded.
“A little equipment for you.”
Su Bai took out all the equipment from his backpack, filling the entire courtyard. Among them were many divine artifacts and semi-divine artifacts.
“Holy cow, did you rob the Element Academy’s treasury?”
“So much equipment, where did you get all this?”
Jiang Lin’s eyes widened, a look of disbelief flashing across his face.
“You don’t need to worry about that. Help me sell these. You can consider acquiring the divine artifacts and semi-divine artifacts, and for the other unused equipment, give me the market price. Is my price fair?”
Most of this high-level equipment was obtained by Su Bai in the Demon Abyss.
He carefully checked the attributes of those pieces of equipment, and they were completely mismatched with his own. Out of thirty pieces of equipment, not a single one was suitable.
Su Bai’s nose was almost crooked with anger. He felt like he was being targeted by a certain race.
“No problem, leave it to me.”
“You’ve done us a great service, kid. Even a Nine Revolutions expert can use this equipment.”
A faint smile flashed across the Old Man’s face, and he said with some excitement.
The number of divine artifacts and semi-divine artifacts in their country was already small, which led to the overall high-end combat power of the Meteor Empire not being as strong as imagined.
Except for the top experts, other experts were more or less a bit weaker.
With this batch of equipment, the Meteor Empire’s high-end combat power would improve by several levels.
“Then if there’s nothing else, I’ll go find Mu Yan.”
Upon hearing this, Su Bai turned to leave.
“Wait a moment, I remember now. These materials, you asked me to help you find them, right? We mobilized the entire nation, and only found this much.”
“The materials you want are too precious, not easy to get.”
Just as Su Bai was about to leave, the Old Man suddenly stopped him and took out some materials from his backpack.
“One hundred bottles of Extreme Yang Divine Liquid? One hundred bottles of Aurora Divine Liquid? Ten bottles of Sacred Yang Spring Water?”
“One hundred bottles of Extreme Yin Divine Liquid? One hundred bottles of Extreme Cold Divine Liquid? Ten bottles of nine serenity spring water?”
“And two divine beast fragments?”
“Old Man, you are simply my savior!”
“When did you get these?”
Looking at the Old Man in front of him, Su Bai’s face showed a hint of excitement.
Su Bai had no clue about these materials. He just mentioned it to the Old Man, and he didn’t expect the Old Man to gather them all for him.
“Some were exchanged for things, and some were materials we obtained. Anyway, how should I put it, gathering this batch of materials wasn’t easy. It almost emptied a small half of the entire Meteor Empire’s resources.”
When Jiang Lin said this, his heart was bleeding.
“Thank you so much.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Su Bai’s eyes.
“I have to tell you, if you want to find these materials again, it’s basically impossible. We have already scoured the entire world, and we’ve exchanged for everything that could be exchanged.”
“If you still want these materials next time, you’ll have to rely on yourself, and you must enter a Demon Abyss of level 90 or above to get this kind of material.”
The Old Man took a deep breath, his expression unusually solemn.
Su Bai being targeted by the Demon God Demon Abyss wasn’t a new thing. A Demon Abyss of level 90 or above was very dangerous for him.
