338: Zhu Kun changes his expression at the speed of light and calls him his son-in-law
Chapter 338: Zhu Kun's Face Changes at Light Speed, Calling Him Son-in-Law
"There's not much, actually."
Old Man Shennong took his gourd and drank heartily.
"First, I can receive wine annually. Besides the phoenix heart nirvana (wine name) I just drank, there are nine other eighth-rank Spirit Wine, and even ninth-rank Spirit Wine."
"Second, you will teach me Spirit Array methods, which can be used against enemies, mainly to sublimate the rank of Medicinal Pill using Vicious Beast flesh and blood."
"Third, star spirit liquid, a type of spirit liquid that possesses the heaven and earth energy and spiritual power of the Major Thousand Worlds, and is even purer."
At this point, Old Man Shennong glanced at Yao Ling.
Chu Xiao had already told him that the matters of the Major Thousand Worlds were not a secret among some Emperor Clans.
The Medicine Clan was among these "some," and besides them, there were also the Gu Clan and the Yan Clan.
"Fourth," Old Man Shennong withdrew his gaze and continued, "Pavilion Master Chu taught me a Low Grade Spirit Rank Spirit Art, allowing me to Cultivate by devouring star spirit liquid, converting Dou Qi into Spiritual Qi, and also promised to teach me methods to re-cross the Supreme Minor Three Tribulations in the future, allowing me to build the Earth Supreme Foundation."
"Fifth, he asked me to hand over the Living Spirit Flame."
Yao Ling: ?
How did handing over the Living Spirit Flame become a reward?
As if guessing what Yao Ling was thinking, Old Man Shennong proactively explained, "The upper limit of the Living Spirit Flame is there; it is ultimately limited to the Fighting Qi Continent."
"The Pavilion Master showed me his future. As long as I give him the Living Spirit Flame, he will later gift me a unique flame seed that is a Fusion of Green Lotus Core Flame, Living Spirit Flame, and Three Thousand Burning Flame."
"That unique flame seed, when nascent, only possesses power comparable to a Dou Ling, but its advantage lies in its ability to grow by devouring the power of stars and the power of earth fire."
"Its upper limit is higher than the Living Spirit Flame. With my strength, I can Cultivate it to the current height of the Living Spirit Flame in just a few years."
"As long as I am willing to invest resources, it can even grow into an Upper Realm Spirit Fire in the future, comparable to a Ninth-Rank Supreme."
Yao Ling suddenly understood.
Chu Xiao had mentioned it in his notes.
On the unique flame list, the Minor Void Swallowing Flame and Purification Lotus Demon Flame were not unique flames born on the Fighting Qi Continent, but came from the Major Thousand Worlds. Therefore, they carried a high-level Origin power similar to Origin Qi, which could help Peak Dou Saints Breakthrough their Bottleneck.
The reason Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was able to Breakthrough to a Dou Emperor back then was partly due to Cultivating the Burning Technique, but also because there were catalysts in the Void Swallowing Flame and Purification Lotus Demon Flame.
Therefore, the truly number one unique flame on the Fighting Qi Continent was the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame in the hands of the Gu Clan.
At its Peak, the unique flame itself could rival powerhouses from one-star to three-star Dou Saints.
The Living Spirit Flame, ranked fifth, was the second strongest native unique flame on the Fighting Qi Continent.
However, it was stuck before the ninth rank, its limit being comparable to a Peak Dou Zun.
To advance further, it would need to Breakthrough its inherent upper limit and undergo a fundamental transformation.
If it were on the Fighting Qi Continent in the past, there might have been a sliver of a chance, but now it was utterly impossible.
And a Spirit Fire that could grow to a Ninth-Rank Supreme already surpassed the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.
Although it required him to expend a great deal of effort and resources to Cultivate, overall, it was a gain for Old Man Shennong.
Of course, Chu Xiao gaining the Living Spirit Flame and later the allegiance of Old Man Shennong meant he profited even more.
You can make a small profit, but I will always make a huge profit—this is Chu Xiao!
"Besides these, there are some minor conditions, but they are not important."
Old Man Shennong did not continue.
But Yao Ling was no longer interested in inquiring.
Just the five conditions Old Man Shennong mentioned involved "most beloved fine wine," "secret techniques to enhance alchemy and combat power," "higher-level Cultivation resources," "higher-level Cultivation Technique," and "stronger unique flames."
Even if Yao Dan and Yao Wanhuo came, they would definitely agree, disregarding the situation of the Medicine Clan.
"Congratulations, Grandpa Shennong," Yao Ling smiled faintly.
"Thank your grandfather for me," Old Man Shennong smiled very happily, "He used a ninth-rank Spirit Medicine seed that I had sought for a long time without success to find me such a good backer."
Although he would lose some freedom in the future, be branded with the mark of Soaring Heavens Pavilion, and have to obey Chu Xiao's commands.
But it was still the same saying: he offered too much; he couldn't refuse.
"Then, Grandpa Shennong, why don't you return the seed?" Yao Ling joked.
Although the seed was valuable, it was insignificant compared to Chu Xiao's favor.
"One thing at a time," Old Man Shennong immediately shook his head, "I will repay the Medicine Clan."
"Grandpa Shennong, you should discuss this with my great-grandfather," Yao Ling now only wanted to talk to Chu Xiao about the business of the two unique flames.
But when she returned to the reception hall next door, she found that Chu Xiao was no longer there.
"Huo Zhi, where is Pavilion Master Chu Xiao?" Yao Ling sat down beside the person she was most familiar with.
Huo Zhi poured her a cup of tea and smiled, "He went to see Senior Zhu Kun."
Yao Ling then remembered that Zhu Kun had been freed.
"Chu Xiao's power is growing stronger and stronger; I must hurry," a sense of urgency rose in Yao Ling's heart.
At the same time, Chu Xiao had already returned to the Small World.
Sitting opposite him was a burly, powerful middle-aged man. His purplish-gold eyes, very similar to Zi Yan's, contained a tangible pressure.
But Chu Xiao faced him with composure, conjuring a table and pouring wine from the Void Realm: "Uncle, this wine is a ninth-rank Spirit Wine, very difficult for even an Earth Supreme to drink. You've been trapped in Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode for many years and need to recover."
As he spoke, a peculiar pattern appeared on Chu Xiao's brow.
In the clan pattern space, the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame had already returned to its position, devouring the Living Spirit Flame.
Combined with the Emperor Flame chains devoured from Zhu Kun, it should be able to transform into Late Stage ninth-rank afterwards.
Then, when he logs into his main account, he can possess the Cultivation of a seventh-rank Supreme.
A seventh-rank Supreme, while not invincible on the Fighting Qi Continent, even Zhu Kun would not be able to defeat him head-on.
If he cooperated with the Sacred Heart Glazed Bow, suppressing and killing Hun Tiandi would not be a problem.
"Soon, I won't have to eat beef anymore."
Chu Xiao was in a very joyful mood.
"Good wine," Zhu Kun drained the cup of wine, his gaze at Chu Xiao filled with unconcealed satisfaction: "Thanks to you, I was able to escape, and Zi Yan will also transform into a Dragon Phoenix."
"Tell me, how should I repay you?"
"Uncle, why speak of two families when we are one?" Chu Xiao poured Zhu Kun more wine.
Zhu Kun's lips twitched.
He hadn't enjoyed the warmth of his 'little cotton jacket' for even a day before she belonged to another family.
"Uncle, in a short while, I will be able to refine Heaven-Grade High Grade Spirit Pill," Chu Xiao's lips curled slightly: "By then, I can help Auntie recover and replenish her lost Origin."
"Zi Yan's unborn younger brother can also be re-conceived and born."
Boom!
Zhu Kun suddenly stood up, his expression losing composure: "Is that true!?"
"Uncle, have I ever deceived you?" Chu Xiao retorted.
Zhu Kun's face surged with ecstasy.
Since meeting Chu Xiao, everything he had said, such as "taking him out of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode early" and "helping Zi Yan find the dragon phoenix origin fruit," things he thought were highly unlikely to be achieved, had all come true one by one.
Now, he would definitely be able to do this too!
"Little friend, no, son-in-law, thank you," Zhu Kun rubbed his hands: "I fully support your and Zi Yan's relationship."
"The Void Ancient Dragon Clan will definitely be your solid backing."
Chu Xiao: "."
This change of face was truly fast.
