60: Hongjun, wealthy and powerful

Xuan Qing looked at the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the demon suppressing pagoda, in Hongjun's hand, a sense of doubt and a certain suspicion arising in his heart.

However, he soon felt relieved; although Innate Spirit Treasures were rare in the Primordial World, that was only relative to the countless living beings of the Primordial World.

If judged solely by quantity, there were actually quite a few Innate Spirit Treasures in the Primordial World.

One could even say there were many.

It was just that many great Divine Beings held several Spirit Treasures each, while some Spirit Treasures had never appeared in the world from beginning to end.

Or perhaps they were obtained by living beings but never used, so the Spirit Treasure's reputation was never established.

After all, an ordinary man is innocent, but harboring a jade treasure makes him guilty; many beings didn't dare to be ostentatious after obtaining a Spirit Treasure.

Lest one day a great Divine Being might come along, kill them, and seize the treasure, leaving them with nothing.

This created a phenomenon: the appearance of a lack of Spirit Treasures in the Primordial World.

The Primordial World was indeed short on Spirit Treasures, but not as short as it seemed.

This Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the demon suppressing pagoda, was one of the Spirit Treasures that had never become famous in the history of the Primordial World.

“Fellow Daoist Hongjun, it seems you still lack sincerity.”

“Others might not know your net worth, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, but how could this poor Daoist not know?”

“Back then, this poor Daoist personally saw you take out five or six Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures at the same time.”

“And they weren't the purple lightning shield or the demon suppressing pagoda you've brought out now.”

“This means you have at least five or six more Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures on you.”

“This poor Daoist is not so easily fooled.”

“How about this, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I'll give you a discount, Fellow Daoist Hongjun.”

“Why don't you give this poor Daoist five Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures?”

“As long as you give me five Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, I will immediately agree to help you participate in the Dao-Demon Conflict.””

As soon as Ancestor of Reincarnation said this, Hongjun felt that being so familiar with Ancestor of Reincarnation wasn't necessarily a good thing.

At the very least, his assets were mostly understood by this fellow Reincarnation.

Of course, that was only his, Hongjun's, net worth from a long time ago.

As for his current net worth, it was several times more than what Reincarnation knew about.

“Impossible! Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, those Spirit Treasures of mine are tied to my very life.”

“I cannot give you that many. For the Dao-Demon Conflict, I'm still counting on those Spirit Treasures to defeat Luo Hou.”

“Fellow Daoist, you are being too heartless. Without Spirit Treasures to protect me, if I die in the Dao-Demon Conflict, would that benefit you in the slightest?”

Reincarnation and Xuan Qing both thought: if you, Hongjun, were to fall in the Dao-Demon Conflict, the benefits would be immense.

But the Heavenly Dao would never allow Hongjun to perish in the Dao-Demon Conflict.

Even if the Heavenly Dao had fallen into a slumber due to the punishment of the great dao thunder, it still wouldn't let Hongjun die in the Dao-Demon Conflict.

The Heavenly Dao must have placed some safeguards on Hongjun to ensure everything was foolproof.

“This poor Daoist can give you at most three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, plus ten high grade innate spirit treasures.”

“This is the absolute limit of what I can bear!”

“If you still don't agree, I can take these Spirit Treasures and go find other Fellow Daoists.”

Frowning, Hongjun took out another Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, plus eight more high grade innate spirit treasures.

From this, it was clear that Hongjun was truly wealthy.

Other countless beings in the Primordial World didn't even have a single Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

Yet this fellow Hongjun could easily pull out ten high grade innate spirit treasures and three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

And this was still not Hongjun's limit.

The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Hongjun pulled out was another one that Xuan Qing had no memory of.

That Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was a long spear, with the Qi of water and fire flickering on its shaft.

“This is a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear, possessing incredibly terrifying offensive power.”

“Once it thrusts out, it can plunge the target into a state of dual ice and fire.”

“It can easily cause Destruction to the target's Primordial Spirit and Physical Body.”

After Hongjun finished introducing the spear's information, Xuan Qing was somewhat speechless.

What kind of proper name is this? Ice and Fire Dual Heavens? Is stabbing the target really not giving them a reward?

However, feeling the terrifying killing power emanating from the ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear, Xuan Qing dismissed that thought.

If someone were attacked by this ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear, how would they die? They'd probably die from sheer pleasure.

“Fellow Daoist Hongjun, this poor Daoist won't make things difficult for you. I once saw you use a twelve-grade lotus platform.”

“It seemed to be called the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit, right?”

“This seat doesn't want this ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear anymore; exchange it for that twelve-grade golden lotus of merit.”

“In addition, make up the difference with another ten high grade innate spirit treasures.”

“Then this poor Daoist can agree; otherwise, I definitely will not.”

Looking at the ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear, Ancestor of Reincarnation spoke.

What kind of shitty name is that? It's not worthy of entering this seat's hands.

Ancestor of Reincarnation took the opportunity to ask Hongjun for the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit.

He knew that the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit was transformed from a seed of the chaos green lotus.

It shared the same origin as the lotus seed he had bestowed upon his disciple, Xuan Qing.

This twelve-grade golden lotus of merit might be able to stimulate the lotus seed in Disciple Xuan Qing's hands.

This twelve-grade golden lotus of merit was, in fact, being requested for Xuan Qing.

Hearing that Reincarnation actually didn't want the ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear but instead wanted the extremely defensive twelve-grade golden lotus of merit,

Hongjun felt some hesitation in his heart.

Although both were Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit was the best of the best.

No matter how powerful the offensive power of the ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear was, it couldn't compare to the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit.

Furthermore, the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit had a certain destiny in the future and should not be moved lightly.

But seeing Reincarnation's resolute appearance, if he didn't produce the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit, all the concessions he made before would be in vain.

As for taking out another ten high grade innate spirit treasures, Hongjun didn't care.

He might not have a hundred high grade innate spirit treasures on him, but he certainly had dozens.

A mere twenty pieces were nothing in Hongjun's eyes.

“Fine, anyway, as long as Reincarnation participates in the Dao-Demon Conflict, he will surely die in it.”

“In that case, the Spirit Treasures I send out will be taken back by this seat.”

“It's just letting this shameless master and disciple keep them for a while.”

“If I have to give them, I'll give them.”

After dawdling for a long time, Hongjun finally took out the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit and ten more high grade innate spirit treasures.

“Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, it's a deal then; no more changing your mind.”

Hongjun quickly put away the ice and fire double heaven hegemon spear, fearing that Reincarnation would make more demands.

“Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you are truly measuring the heart of a gentleman with the thoughts of a petty man.”

“Do you think this poor Daoist is like you, Fellow Daoist Hongjun? I have always been a man of my word.”

“Since I said I agree, then I agree.”

“Alright, now that the cooperation has been reached, I wish us a pleasant collaboration.”

Ancestor of Reincarnation swept the three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and twenty high grade innate spirit treasures into his pocket.

The sight made Hongjun's heart ache.

“Fellow Daoist Hongjun is truly wealthy and powerful.”

After collecting the Spirit Treasures, Reincarnation didn't forget to twist the knife in Hongjun's heart at the end.

“Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, since the matter of cooperation has been settled, this poor Daoist will not disturb your quiet cultivation.”

“Remember the time, Fellow Daoist; just head to the Western Continent on time to help me. I shall take my leave now.”

Hongjun now only wanted to leave this place of heartbreak as quickly as possible.

If he stayed any longer, Hongjun feared he wouldn't be able to take it.
