the next day.
Chen Qingyu arrived at Hall of Ten Thousand Stars early in the morning to meet with Steward Li.
Following Steward Li's instructions, he exchanged his accumulated large quantities of Taihao Divine Iron for other treasures in batches within the Hall of Ten Thousand Stars.
These treasures were all specifically requested by Steward Li, and it is said that they were also the wish of Elder Zhao.
Chen Qingyu roughly understood the ins and outs of this:
The Taihao Divine Iron he had accumulated was just a quota in the Hall of Ten Thousand Stars, but after such a series of transfers and shifts, it could disappear from the account out of thin air.
Those treasures designated for exchange would not actually be handed over to him; they would remain stored in the warehouse, so there was no fear of being audited by those above.
Not to mention:
The person in charge of exchanging the Taihao Divine Iron was Elder Zhao, who presided over the Hall of Ten Thousand Stars. This was tantamount to embezzling from his own post, so the journey was naturally incredibly smooth.
Because he had accumulated so much Taihao Divine Iron, this action continued until the afternoon of that day.
After his Taihao Divine Iron was almost completely depleted, Steward Li informed him with a smile that he should go back and wait two days for news.
Two days later.
Chen Qingyu returned to the Hall of Ten Thousand Stars and found Steward Li.
Brother Chen.
Steward Li, still all smiles, warmly received him.
Brother Li.
Chen Qingyu nodded to him and quietly asked in a telepathic message:
It's been two days now, is there any concrete news about that matter?
Upon hearing this, Steward Li glanced at him in surprise:
What's wrong? How come I didn't know?
Chen Qingyu's anticipation was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and his expression immediately turned cold.
Brother Li, are you perhaps joking?
What I'm referring to is, of course, the method for crafting Mystic Artifact that can traverse the chaotic void!
For this matter, I have already entrusted all the Taihao Divine Iron on the books to you.
Is that so?
Steward Li gave him a strange look and said slowly:
Chen Qingyu, have you lost your mind? Are you having memory problems?
Haven't you already exchanged all that Taihao Divine Iron in your account for various treasures?
What? I still have that exchange list. Are you trying to extort money from my Supreme Star Palace?
After listening to his words:
Chen Qingyu's eyes were now icy cold.
Okay, very good!
He gave Steward Li a deep look, then suddenly spoke:
Whose idea is this?
If you don't have that kind of courage and power, then it should be Elder Zhao, right?
Steward Li immediately retorted angrily:
Chen Qingyu, what do you mean by this? Are you spouting nonsense?
You, a mere Heavenly Impulse Realm, dare to slander Elder Zhao?
Get out of here right now! You're not welcome here!
Chen Qingyu remained expressionless and said indifferently:
Remember this: my things aren't so easy to take.
After saying that, he turned around and left without pausing for a moment, transforming into a streak of light that tore through the sky and disappeared.
After he left:
As Steward Li frowned, a strange sense of unease and fear arose in his heart, making him somewhat irritable.
What, are you scared?
A deep voice suddenly sounded beside him.
He was startled and instinctively turned his head to look, where he saw a tall, thin middle-aged man dressed in black...
Elder Zhao.
Steward Li quickly bowed and said with his head lowered:
He wasn't afraid, but he was still a top-tier genius with a limitless Immeasurable. If one day he became Saint King or even Quasi-Emperor...
You're overthinking it.
Elder Zhao waved his hand, his expression calm, and said indifferently:
Over the past six months, he has faced numerous tests and made several moves, revealing most of his true strength.
He has never displayed overwhelming power, so he cannot be at the Divine Origin Realm. He must have only achieved the Second Origin Realm, coupled with a strong physique and extremely high explosive power.
He paused for a moment before continuing:
Moreover, you can tell from the things he's exchanged over the past six months.
This person comes from a humble background and probably doesn't even have Quasi-Emperor behind him, which is why he is so interested in the refining methods of some highly versatile Mystic Artifact and divine medicines.
It's important to understand that the growth of a prodigy is inseparable from the cultivation and support of the forces behind them.
Based on this child's abilities, it would be good enough if he could advance to the Saint King realm in the future; becoming Quasi-Emperor is basically out of the question.
Elder Zhao turned to look at Steward Li and said calmly:
Furthermore, even if he were to become Quasi-Emperor by sheer luck, what then?
Would he really go to such lengths as to storm the Supreme Star Palace and cause trouble for me and you over such a trivial matter?
In fact, it was precisely because he realized that Chen Qingyu had no powerful or super-powerful backing that he dared to so recklessly turn his back on him.
If it were someone from a super-powerful force like the Twelve Yuanchen Palace or the Eight Desolations Divine Sect, he wouldn't dare do such a thing even if he had ten times the courage.
Upon hearing this, Steward Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder, you are right.
only
He hesitated and said:
If he were to expose this matter, it would cause a huge uproar and attract the attention of the Dharma Protectors.
Don't worry about it.
Elder Zhao waved his hand and casually said:
We have no leverage over him, and the treasures he exchanged are all documented and processed through proper channels; the evidence is irrefutable.
If he dares to report this to higher authorities, it would be a clear case of false accusation, and we would then have the right to take action against him openly and fairly.
As he spoke, he smiled slightly:
All I can say is that this kid is even more foolish than I imagined, too trusting of others.
Let alone not having the method to forge such a super-powerful Mystic Artifact, even if I did, how could I possibly give it to him?
Upon hearing this, Steward Li was finally completely relieved and said with admiration:
The elder was truly wise, managing to manipulate that young Chen with ease!
Hahaha
Elder Zhao smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and casually said:
Don't worry, since you're doing this for me, you'll naturally get your share too.
Steward Li was immediately overjoyed and bowed respectfully, saying:
Thank you, Elder.
Um.
Elder Zhao nodded slightly, then stroked his chin, a hint of regret in his eyes:
It's a bit of a pity, though, because this person's ability to move the Taihao Divine Iron was truly outstanding; he was the best laborer, and his value was astonishing.
Non-Self term weren't nearing its end and I weren't soon returning to my original position, I wouldn't have wanted to discard me so quickly.
On the other side.
After returning to his residence, Chen Qingyu's expression immediately turned completely gloomy.
Good, very good!
Unexpectedly, those two bastards turned their backs on us!
Before finalizing the deal, he had considered the risks and the possibility that the other party might renege on the deal.
However, the super Mystic Artifact that could traverse the chaotic void was too important to him, and the initiative was completely in the hands of the other party, so he could only try his luck.
In retrospect, the deal was a complete failure, and he was badly ripped off.
call!
He took a deep breath, his eyes flickering slightly:
Since the deal failed, don't blame me; I'll try other methods!
You asked for this!
He calmed his mind and felt the surging power of the True Gang within the Nine Heavens, which was already nearing its limit.
The Peak Heavenly Impulse Realm and the perfection of the Ninth Heaven are already within reach!
