Everlasting Pure Bottle, Mourning Blood Embryo, Extra Reward!

Everlasting Pure Bottle, Mourning Blood Embryo, Extra Reward!

Bone Emperor truly wanted to call the police, but if the call went through, Su Mu's voice might be the one on the other end.

Even the Boundless Leaf only counted as half a treasure. This River Crossing Fee was far too expensive!

He fumbled and agonized over it for a long while before extremely reluctantly taking out a small purple-black bottle. It looked somewhat like a vase, but its mouth was tiny, while its body was roughly two palm-lengths tall.

Looking in through the bottle's mouth, all he could see was pitch-black darkness, like an abyss.

Seeing Bone Emperor awkwardly clutching the vase, Su Mu stepped closer and snatched it away.

Hand it over!

After getting it, Su Mu examined it carefully and found that it was a decent magic treasure. It probably counted as half an item too.

Only after putting away the vase did Su Mu reveal a smile. "Alright, your River Crossing Fee has been paid in full."

"Now it's you three."

With that, Su Mu looked toward the Three Emperors behind Bone Emperor, wearing a harmless smile.

Bone Emperor was on the verge of tears. This Everlasting Pure Bottle was one of his Natal Magic Treasures!

When the other Three Emperors saw that Bone Emperor had even brought out his Natal Magic Treasure, the Everlasting Pure Bottle, they felt mountains of pressure bearing down on them. With Bone Emperor setting such a standard, they had to produce magic treasures of roughly equal value—at the very least, they could not be too far behind.

Cosmos Emperor took a large lump of blood-red, flesh-like matter from his sleeve. It bounced with a soft, springy texture in his palm and looked very much like Blood Tai Sui.

Su Mu's eyes lit up at the sight, because he sensed a vast and surging Qi and Blood Power from that lump of flesh resembling Blood Tai Sui. One look told him it was a great tonic!

When Cosmos Emperor took out all of the "Mourning Blood Embryo," the others were stunned.

Huh? Cosmos Emperor was going this far?

This was his precious darling.

Back then, he had snatched this Mourning Blood Embryo from the Primordial Secret Realm after narrowly escaping death countless times. Because of this Mourning Blood Embryo, several Immortal Kings had hunted him down for a long time. If Your Excellency had not stepped in to protect him, those Immortal Kings would have butchered him long ago.

This Mourning Blood Embryo had originally weighed ten jin. After using it for several thousand years, he had not even used up two jin.

Back then, the three of them had begged for ages, but Cosmos Emperor had refused to spare even the tiniest bit. Yet now he was taking it all out? This was not like him at all. Was he really bleeding this much?

In truth, Cosmos Emperor truly did not want to take out the Mourning Blood Embryo.

He was an extremely cautious man. Whenever he went out, he never carried many treasures on him, only a Natal Magic Treasure and a life-saving magic treasure.

He was afraid something might happen and benefit someone else.

Since he needed this Mourning Blood Embryo for cultivation, he kept it on him at all times.

He could hardly take out his own Natal Magic Treasure, could he? He was not like Bone Emperor, who carried several Natal Magic Treasures with him.

So he could only offer this Mourning Blood Embryo.

Su Mu grabbed the Blood Tai Sui in one hand and weighed it in his palm. It was quite substantial.

"Fine. This can count as one item."

Su Mu did not want to make things too difficult for him, seeing how he looked ready to burst into tears.

Cosmos Emperor truly wanted to cry. He had never imagined that one day, he would be reduced to such humiliation, getting extorted and robbed on the River of Time.

Not to mention him—even if Your Excellency came, he would probably have to obediently hand over something.

There was no helping it. What decent person came to the River of Time to rob people? Even if they told others, no one would believe them.

"Alright, that leaves you two."

Su Mu's gaze fell upon South Emperor and Dark Emperor.

South Emperor drew a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and took out three treasures at once: a piece of blue jade, a red rope, and a hide that resembled tiger skin, covered in spots.

Su Mu gave them a quick inspection, then stuffed them all away after confirming they were treasures. He would study them properly later.

Finally, Su Mu smiled at Dark Emperor, the last one remaining. "Now you're the only one left."

"Oh, no. Your old man is still here too."

He pointed at the coffin beneath his feet.

Dark Emperor closed his eyes. His chest rose and fell, and his eyelids trembled slightly.

At last, perhaps having made up his mind, he abruptly opened his eyes, removed the Space Ring from his hand, and offered it to Su Mu. "Everything I have is in here."

He kept only his two Natal Magic Treasures and handed over everything else.

Su Mu accepted the Space Ring and took a broad look inside. There were quite a few treasures within—spirit herbs, pills, spirit stones, and some strange treasures whose purpose he could not identify.

Dark Emperor was unlike the other Three Emperors. He came from the ranks of independent cultivators and did not possess many treasures. Most had been used for cultivation or damaged in battle.

"What a generous boss!"

Su Mu put away the Space Ring.

"Alrighty, the River Crossing Fee has been paid in full."

With that, Su Mu cleared a path for the Four Emperors and waved his hand, lifting the restriction over the water.

When they saw this man casually affect the flow of the River of Time with a mere gesture, they unconsciously swallowed. Their hearts leaped into their throats.

"Stay safe. Find a good place to bury your father."

"And remember, secure it properly when you bury him. Don't let it drift around on the river. If I see it, I'll have to deal with it myself."

Su Mu reminded Dark Emperor.

Though he had agreed to let them hold a Water Burial in his river, they had to bury the coffin properly and secure it in place. He did not want to see a Big Black Coffin drifting back and forth before his eyes.

"Of course, of course."

Dark Emperor nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. After witnessing Su Mu's terrifying strength, he no longer had the slightest desire to resist.

Fortunately, they had honestly paid the River Crossing Fee from the start instead of tearing off all pretense and fighting back.

If they had fought, they would probably have become four floating corpses in the River of Time, turned into nourishment for it.

Even after Su Mu cleared the way, the Four Emperors still did not dare move. They kept staring at him.

They were truly frightened.

Seeing this, Su Mu waved his hand. "Let me give you a send-off."

With that, Su Mu used the Water Control Mystical Power to accelerate the water beneath the coffin.

With a direct launch, the coffin shot downstream. The Four Emperors were so frightened that they clung tightly to one another, afraid that a moment of carelessness would send them tumbling off.

To prevent them from holding the Water Burial too close and obstructing his view, Su Mu simply sent them farther away—far, far downstream. Before long, all four vanished from his sight.

After all that was done, the system's announcement sounded.

Congratulations, Host. You maintained order on the River Surface and triggered an extra reward. Favor Points +9000

Hearing that a full nine thousand Favor Points had arrived, Su Mu's eyes widened in delight.

Good heavens, this really was the fastest way to earn them!

Send more people like this across the river—or bring on more troublemakers!

"Did we overshoot?!"

"Where the hell did this send us?"

When the Four Emperors came back to their senses, they discovered they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.
