I admit that I was blind just now

“How about an Emperor Grade Skill?”

The value of an Emperor Grade Skill naturally couldn't compare to the Overlord Body Inheritance.

But this was a result of Zhong Qing’s careful consideration.

As the saying goes, 'an innocent man is guilty only for possessing a treasure'.

Given the size of the Nangong Family, if he gave them an Emperor-Level Cultivation Method, they likely wouldn't be able to protect it and might even bring about a disaster that would wipe out their Family.

After all, the Overlord Body Inheritance was a lesson learned from the past.

The moment Zhong Qing spoke of an Emperor Grade Skill, Nangong Xiangtian and his daughter were stunned.

It wasn't because the price Zhong Qing offered was too low.

Instead, it exceeded their imagination.

Indeed, an Emperor Grade Skill couldn't be compared to the Overlord Body Inheritance.

But it was the best item they could access and trade for.

One must know that Emperor Grade Skills were core Cultivation Techniques of transcendent forces, closely guarded secrets.

Any one of them that circulated would likely cause countless people to become envious.

And those who possessed such Cultivation Techniques were generally existences the Nangong Family couldn't afford to provoke.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be calmly trading with them.

Instead, they would directly seize it by force.

“If Senior can truly produce an Emperor Grade Skill, this old man is willing to personally offer the Overlord Body Inheritance.”

Nangong Xiangtian said with bated breath.

A good Cultivation Technique significantly boosts a force.

It could be said that this was the cornerstone for a force to become strong.

With this Cultivation Technique to comprehend, it probably wouldn't be long before the Nangong Family could produce a Tianxuan Realm expert.

If the Overlord Body Inheritance meant betting the Family's future to create a peerless expert who was very likely to die young,

then the Emperor Grade Skill was a panacea that could make their strength explode in a short time, bringing them a step closer.

On this point, although the value of the Emperor Grade Skill was not as high as the Overlord Body Inheritance, it was definitely the most suitable item for the Nangong Family.

With both sides agreeing to the intention, Zhong Qing didn't delay.

He directly took out a copy of “Emperor Grade World-Shaking Record.”

And he, as expected, obtained the Overlord Body Inheritance.

It was a Jade Slip!

The entire Jade Slip exuded an ancient and desolate aura, containing an ancient will.

Inscribed on it were the four ancient and vigorous characters: 'Overlord Body Inheritance'.

Both parties obtained what they desired.

Their gazes avidly examined what they had received.

After confirming it was genuine, Zhong Qing immediately put the Overlord Body Inheritance into his Small World.

Then he said to Nangong Xiangtian,

“Strictly speaking, I got the better end of this deal.”

As he spoke, he took out ten wooden carvings!

“Consider these as a bonus for you all!”

With these wooden carvings, even if the Emperor Grade Skill were exposed, it should be enough for them to cope.

However, Nangong Xiangtian merely glanced at them.

His focus immediately returned to the Emperor Grade Skill.

He complimented, “Senior, please forgive this old man for being a crude person; I cannot appreciate these exquisite wooden carvings.”

“This Cultivation Technique is enough; please take back these bonuses!”

Zhong Qing smiled faintly: “Are you sure you don’t want them?”

Nangong Xiangtian shook his head like a rattle-drum.

“Seeing Senior carry these wooden carvings with him, they must be something you cherish. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others love.”

“These wooden carvings…”

He hadn't finished speaking.

Zhong Qing directly activated one of the wooden carvings.

The next moment, the wooden carving transformed into an Immortal Master.

It released an aura unique to a Sanyin Realm expert.

It was said that items obtained through the System's sign-in would grow stronger with Zhong Qing's increasing strength.

These wooden carvings were among the many items Zhong Qing signed for after breaking through to the Three Yin Realm.

As the wooden carving's function was activated,

Nangong Xiangtian's pupils suddenly dilated.

A huge 'holy crap' filled his mind.

The pressure emanating from the wooden carving was too terrifying.

It gave him an unparalleled sense of oppression.

“This… this… this…”

His eyes burned as he stared at the wooden carving.

He was so excited he couldn't speak.

“Senior, this… is it really for me?”

He swallowed hard.

He was like a strong man who had been thirsty for decades, suddenly seeing a group of peerless beauties.

Every cell in his body screamed 'I want it'.

Even Nangong Xiaoman, who was beside him, had her mouth wide open, looking as if she had never seen such a sight.

She had completely lost her image as a lady.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?”

Zhong Qing said meaningfully.

At this moment, Nangong Xiangtian wished he could slap himself repeatedly, slapping his rotten mouth until it swelled up.

A Puppet of the Three Yin Realm!

And ten of them were given out at once.

What an astonishingly grand gesture.

Yet, he, this idiot, had actually refused them.

“Se… Senior!”

“I admit, I was ignorant earlier.”

“Um, can I retract what I just said?”

He looked pitifully at Zhong Qing.

Surprisingly, for someone his age, he had a peculiar kind of adorable clumsiness.

Zhong Qing couldn't help but be amused by his appearance.

“Keep them!”

“Since I gave them to you, there’s no reason for me to take them back.”

“When activated, these wooden carvings can unleash the strength of the Three Yin Realm, with each activation lasting half a day.”

“They are single-use items.”

“Use them sparingly!”

Hearing Zhong Qing personally state the strength of these wooden carving Puppets, Nangong Xiangtian's breathing quickened a few more times.

The Three Yin Realm.

You couldn't find a single one in the entire Nameless City.

But now, his Nangong Family actually had ten Three Yin Realm Puppet wooden carvings.

No… now, it seemed there were only nine left.

The thought that a Three Yin Realm Puppet was used up just like that due to his mistake made Nangong Xiangtian feel as if his heart was bleeding.

If these items were used well,

their potential effect was undoubtedly life-saving.

It could even reverse the fate of the entire Family.

He now wished he could slap himself to death.

What a prodigal!

Of course, despite the heartache,

he hadn't forgotten the main business.

“Many thanks, Senior, for bestowing such treasures!”

He took the wooden carvings from Zhong Qing's hand as if they were precious treasures.

He was afraid Zhong Qing would go back on his word.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This transaction, their Nangong Family had made a huge profit.

“Alright, now that the transaction is complete, it's time for me to leave.”

Zhong Qing stood up and bid them farewell.

“Senior, why not stay at our residence for a few more days?”

Hearing that Zhong Qing was leaving, Nangong Xiangtian actually felt a bit reluctant.

There was no helping it; Zhong Qing had given too much.

In his eyes, this was a Heavenly God descending to the mortal world.

Nangong Xiaoman, on the side, also spoke up to persuade him to stay: “Senior, why not stay a few more days so that my Nangong Family can fulfill its duty as hosts?”

“No!”

Zhong Qing refused.

“I still have companions in the city. Let's talk about it next time if there's an opportunity!”

Seeing that Zhong Qing was determined to leave, the father and daughter found it difficult to persuade him further.

They could only personally stand up and respectfully see him off!

After Zhong Qing had completely left the Nangong Family,

Nangong Xiangtian looked at Nangong Xiaoman and sighed, “Xiaoman, this time, you have truly rendered a great service to the Family!”

“With these trump cards in hand, my Nangong Family can not only turn danger into safety but also advance further.”

Looking at her father, who was full of vigor, Nangong Xiaoman was also happy from the bottom of her heart.

She was happy not only because she had saved the entire Nangong Family

but also proud because she had received her father's praise and recognition.
