331: The invitation from the number one person in Qingzhou, Your Majesty, this is not good.

After deducting 16,000 Contribution Points, 18,000 Contribution Points remained.

Chu Jiang didn't continue to look at martial arts. He already possessed a Qiankun Level Ghost Cry Blade Art, and once these two Faxiang blade arts were obtained, he would combine and Fuse them into a Rongtian Stage art.

Opening the Treasure Pavilion, a vast array of rare treasures, things Chu Jiang had never seen before, appeared before his eyes.

Thousand-Mile Talisman: Shattering it allows one to traverse a thousand miles of space. 10,000 Contribution Points.

Third-Tier Divine Movement Talisman: Can increase the speed of a Faxiang Realm cultivator by 50%. 7,000 Contribution Points.

Xuanwu No. 4: From the ancient Puppet Sect, a Level 5, Qiankun Puppet, capable of resisting Qiankun Eighth Level attacks. 350,000 Contribution Points.

Youth-Retaining Pill: Can eternally preserve youth and an ageless appearance. 20,000 Contribution Points.

Dragon-Tiger Pill: Enhances 'that' aspect of one's ability. From now on, there will only be fields that can't be fully tilled, never an ox that dies of exhaustion. 3,000 Contribution Points.

Holy crap.

The Dragon-Tiger Pill, a failure reward from the System, was actually so valuable.

3,000 Contribution Points each. 500 pills would be 1,500,000 Contribution Points.

Chu Jiang continued to scroll through the Treasure Pavilion, suddenly raising an eyebrow.

They even have this thing?

A precious pill, pure as jade, glowed with radiance.

He Xuanzaohua Dan imitation: Possesses 50% of the original's effects. Price: 150,000 Contribution Points.

This He Xuanzaohua Dan was even more expensive than Qiankun Level martial arts.

And it was just an imitation.

Exotic Beast Immortal Dew: The favorite of exotic beasts. Can enhance an exotic beast's cultivation and root bone without side effects. 5,000 Contribution Points.

Chu Jiang didn't continue browsing. There were too many good things, most of which he couldn't afford. He ultimately bought three bottles of Exotic Beast Immortal Dew before clicking to exit the market.

Ding-dong...

A message from the market.

"Please fill in the shipping address. It is best to be near the main cities of various Great States. Remote addresses and unknown addresses will not be delivered..."

Chu Jiang didn't fill in Yunzhou City, but Xing Province City. Yan Luo Temple must have established branches in the prosperous areas of Great Chu.

Tianzhou was also the most prosperous and flourishing region in the central area, so it might arrive in three days.

After filling it out, Chu Jiang entered the group chat again.

Hundreds of messages had accumulated.

Most were casual chats, with a few clowns bickering, but a few messages caught his attention.

Qing Zhou First: "I recently discovered an ancient ruin. Anyone interested in exploring it? If so, reply with 'Yes!'" (Excited)

Please Call Me Holy Maiden: "No!" (Smiling)

Lover of Brothels: "No!" (Smiling)

General Cricket: "No!" (Smiling)

Divine Calculation: "..."

Qing Zhou First: "..."

Qing Zhou First: "I promise, this time it's real!" (Three serious replies)

Lover of Brothels: "You said that last time too." (Speechless)

He was almost killed by that guy. If it weren't for his excellent escape skills, he would have died inside. The treasures that guy mentioned, he didn't get a single one, only danger and no benefits.

Over a thousand years, he had been tricked twice by Qing Zhou First.

He thoroughly exposed him in the group, and after that, no one believed that guy anymore.

Qing Zhou First: "I guarantee it with my peerless divine looks. Absolutely real." (Again, serious)

General Cricket: "Tsk, you're the ugliest in the group. How much are your looks worth?" (Laughing-crying)

Qing Zhou First: "Old Cricket, I've tolerated you for too long. Would you die if you didn't talk?" (Furious)

General Cricket: "This General needs to guard the Imperial Capital for Your Majesty. I don't have time to see you." (Angry)

Aside from Cui Judge, he hadn't met anyone else in the group.

Stability was the kingly Dao.

Lover of Brothels: "First give me tens of thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones to spend, and I'll believe you one more time." (Anticipating)

Qing Zhou First: "Get lost!"

Tens of thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones! He really dared to ask. If he had them, why would he go explore some ancient ruins?

Please Call Me Holy Maiden: "If you can bring in 'Chu Emperor' or 'Divine Calculation,' this Saintess might consider it." (Teasing)

It was very difficult.

But there was a chance.

Qing Zhou First: "Divine Calculation, are you interested? I'll give you ten High-Grade Spirit Stones as a benefit fee. How about it?"

General Cricket: "Ten High-Grade Spirit Stones? Are you trying to bribe a beggar? As expected of Qing Zhou's number one stingy person!" (Barely suppressing laughter)

Qing Zhou First: "Old Cricket, I've put up with you for a long time. Would you die if you didn't talk?" (Angered for a moment)

Divine Calculation: "..."

Everyone hiding behind the Black Mirror almost burst out laughing.

It was the same unchanging phrase for a thousand years.

In the Eastern Great State, within a secluded valley.

Qing Zhou First held the Black Mirror, feeling depressed. He had indeed discovered a ruin. Although it might not be an ancient ruin, it was at least an old ruin from five thousand years ago.

However, after the first two times, when he brought Lover of Brothels along and, due to bad luck, got him into trouble, people in the group basically stopped believing him.

Should he try contacting Chu Emperor again?

Although this guy was unlikely to be the real Chu Emperor, anyone brought in by Cui Judge was not weak.

He submitted another application.

Chu Jiang was watching the fun when he saw a new application message pop up on the Black Mirror.

It was sent by Qing Zhou First.

"A bit interesting."

Chu Jiang smiled and clicked agree.

On the other side.

"Chu Emperor has accepted your application!"

Holy cow.

Qing Zhou First's eyes lit up. It passed?

He had only tried with a 'what if' attitude, not holding out much hope, as this Chu Emperor, like Divine Calculation, was a silent, uncommunicative person in the group.

Divine Calculation at least had one phrase, though it was always repeated, but this Chu Emperor hadn't even made a single statement.

Qing Zhou First: "Respected Your Majesty, I have an ancient ruin, at least from five thousand years ago, from the Great Qin Dynasty. Are you interested?" (Three earnest requests)

Chu Jiang: "Speak."

Holy crap.

He actually replied?

Qing Zhou First was overjoyed.

Someone who was impossible to get a reply from actually replied.

This feeling was indescribable.

Perhaps, this was the charm of being aloof?

Qing Zhou First: "I discovered a ruin in Cang Province in the east. However, to open the ruin, a Three Talents Spirit Activation Array is required. It needs three Qiankun Seventh Realm or higher experts, holding three treasures, to resonate with it to open the ruin."

Just opening the ruin required such a magnificent lineup.

This ruin was not simple.

Chu Jiang: "When will it open?"

If the timing was tight, he definitely couldn't go. Once inside the ruin, he didn't know if it would be ten days or a month before he could come out.

He also had to go to the Imperial Capital to participate in the Lord Shao Si's assessment.

Qing Zhou First: "As long as three Qiankun Seventh Realm experts and the three treasures are gathered, it can be opened at any time."

"As long as Your Majesty agrees, I will gather the experts, and you don't need to worry about finding the three treasures. I will find them myself."

Both the people and the treasures would be gathered by Qing Zhou First; he just needed to wait for the news. This was something he could consider.

Chu Jiang: "Alright, but I don't have time within three months."

There were many matters to resolve on his trip to the Imperial Capital, so he tried to extend the time.

Qing Zhou First: "Your Majesty, rest assured. It might take more than three months to gather the items needed to open this ruin. Everything will depend on your schedule."

He indicated that Chu Jiang didn't need to worry about the time issue.

He kept his posture very low. As long as this person agreed, it would be much easier for him to recruit others.

Chu Jiang: "Contact me then!"

Qing Zhou First: "Thank you for your support, Your Majesty." (Three bows of gratitude)

He then went to contact others.

A few more minutes passed.

In the clear pool of a secluded paradise, a woman of exquisite beauty was bathing. Her magnificent twin peaks were faintly visible, her skin like white jade, her eyebrows like willow leaves, and her nose bridge high. As the pool water rippled, her perfectly round, long legs could be vaguely seen.

Holding the Black Mirror, she was chatting.

After composing a message, she sent it directly.

Please Call Me Holy Maiden: "Your Majesty, why do you ignore me? In what way am I inferior to that little bastard Qing Zhou?" (Looking pitiful)

Whoosh!

A new message appeared before her eyes.

Damn!

He replied?

When she saw the message Chu Jiang sent, her expression subtly changed, even showing a hint of a blush.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit much...?"
