Burial Nether's eyes flickered with a strange light as he looked toward Chen Xun on the white jade bridge. "This junior, Burial Nether, pays respects to Senior."
His manner was exceptionally respectful. This man's aura had been restrained to the utmost; even as a Great Vehicle Late Stage cultivator, he could not sense the slightest trace of imposing presence from this powerful figure.
"Burial Nether..." Chen Xun murmured. A strand of cloud mist slowly drifted past him as he smiled. "You've worked hard these years."
"It is this junior's honor to serve Senior."
Burial Nether lowered his head slightly. Then his expression abruptly turned hesitant, and he stammered, "Senior, then this junior's debt..."
"Do not measure the Jiaolong Honored One's matter in spirit stones."
Chen Xun spoke blandly, one hand behind his back. "Haggling over this matter would only sully it. Let this matter end here."

Burial Nether's mouth twitched. Yet after giving it some thought, he felt it made considerable sense. A figure like this truly could not be treated as part of a transaction.
But that was not what he wanted to ask about! After all, he had already been given a treasure pill back then. How could he possibly ask for further compensation?

What he truly wished to ask about was his treasure ship... It had been forged from the honored divine bones of an Ancient Divine Dragon and was extraordinarily valuable...
Yet before Burial Nether could think further, a faintly drifting remark struck him like five bolts of lightning, becoming unforgettable
