The steward was not much of a talker, but when he did speak, his words were remarkably persuasive. In Tang Changsheng's world, he would have been a first-rate salesman. A little more, and he might have talked Tang Changsheng into choosing the pearl!
But Tang Changsheng was no fool. Why would he choose the Sinful Flood Dragon Pearl?
A Flood Dragon's soul was one thing. A true dragon's soul would be a treasure rarely seen in the world, capable of securing a nation's fortunes and adding to its Dragon Aura. It was not something a cultivator like Tang Changsheng could hope to possess.
The Sinful Flood Dragon Pearl might have been a treasure, but it concealed Killing Intent deep within. Only the Fortune of a nation's government could dissolve and suppress it.
If Tang Changsheng kept it by his side, it would bring him misfortune sooner or later.
He even wondered whether Yue State's defeat Thirty Years ago, and the Great Calamity Wu State now faced, might have something to do with this Sinful Flood Dragon Pearl.
Whatever the case, Master Tang Changsheng wanted nothing to do with something so deadly!
The steward read his expression and immediately saw that he had no interest in it. Unsurprised, he pointed to a jade bottle nearby. "Inside are Longevity Pills that True Person Lü Yuanhua of the Primordial Yang Abbey refined for the late marquis..."
Tang Changsheng shook his head again. That very affair had brought ruin upon True Person Lü Yuanhua. Whether the old Marquis Wu had died from taking those pills or been killed by the current Marquis Wu, who was then the heir, had become a muddled account no one could untangle.
But Tang Changsheng knew one thing for certain: since ancient times, no emperor had ever lived forever!
