"My dear grandaunt, you've vented your anger, but can I take it?" Fatty was speechless. He didn't expect that the instigator of this incident didn't even know what had happened.
Chen Sixuan snorted and said, "Your Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce can't involve Teacher Ji Dong. No matter what, you're just a Chamber of Commerce. If the Five Great Empires insist on wiping you out from the continent, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive. However, since you've come to apologize personally, it shows your sincerity. I'll write a letter to Father later and ask him to restore your Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce's business."
Zhou Xiaoxiao really wanted to cry, but no tears came out. In these two months, the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce could be said to have suffered heavy losses. Although the Chamber of Commerce had a deep foundation and didn't care about this bit of money, the blow to the Chamber of Commerce's reputation was immeasurable. Especially the other Chambers of Commerce, all of them were secretly clapping their hands.
"Alright, Ji Dong, then about the Empire of Central Earth, should you write me a letter too?"
"The Empire of Central Earth?" Ji Dong looked at Fatty doubtfully and said, "I don't know about this either. I didn't tell anyone about this at all."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Just because you didn't say anything doesn't mean others won't. Anyway, the Empire of Central Earth is more powerful now. Not only did they cut off our business, they even confiscated it."
Ji Dong thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, I'll write you a letter."
Zhou Xiaoxiao brought pen and paper with her and hurried over. Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan each wrote a letter to settle this matter.
Fatty heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the two letters. No matter what, this matter was finally resolved. Although the Foolish Rich Chamber of Commerce suffered some losses, it wasn't a serious blow. After putting the letters away, he said to Hyōhime, "Ji Dong, I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to. I thought you would make things difficult for me."
Ji Dong frowned. "Am I that unreasonable in your eyes?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly smiled and said, "Of course not. Otherwise, why would I choose you as my successor? By the way, I've brought the item you wanted this time, it's for you … "As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a brocade box that was enveloped by a ball of dense golden light flew through the air.
Ji Dong took the box and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao in confusion. "What is this?
Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "You'll know once you open it. It's naturally what you want."
The brocade box was heavy in his hand. Ji Dong lowered his head to look at the brocade box. This brocade box was purplish-black in color, and there were extremely exquisite patterns carved on it. He could vaguely make out the shapes of nine dragons, and they were all completely different dragons, as if they belonged to different attributes. The eyes of the nine dragons were inlaid with different colored gems. There was also a layer of faint magic wave emitting from the brocade box, as if it was a small magic circle that isolated the air. Just this brocade box alone was already priceless, so what was inside?
Ji Dong opened the lid of the box, but there was no dense magic wave as he had imagined. What appeared in the brocade box was actually four bottles.
Each bottle had a very simple style, but they were all different. They were blue, red, white, and yellow respectively.
Seeing these four bottles, Ji Dong was shocked. He looked up at Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "Are these the four bottles of wine you mentioned?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "According to the records of the Bartenders Guild's Famous Wines, these four bottles are the second ranked Blue Phantom Liquid, the fifth ranked Nine Revolutions Flaming Lava, the seventh ranked Rare Gold Jade Liquid, and the ninth ranked Lonely Moon."
Looking at the four bottles of wine in the brocade box in his hand, even though Ji Dong knew that the fatty was doing this to gain his favor and make it impossible for him to reject him, he still couldn't return the four bottles of wine in his hand. One must know that the wish that Raging Flame had left him was a total of ten bottles of wine. With these four bottles of wine, he would be able to save a lot of time in the next few years, and spend more time dealing with the various affairs of the continent, as well as the Sacred War between the two continents. Moreover, the ten famous wines recorded in the Wine Record were all rare treasures. He wasn't sure if there was another one besides the four bottles in front of him.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's timing of taking out these wines was undoubtedly very good. It was just when Ji Dong had helped him solve his problem, and he did not make any requests. In this way, not only did he achieve his goal, but he would also not make Ji Dong unhappy with him.
The Ten Famous Wines recorded in the Famous Wines Record had the secret of resonating with the ten elements. For example, the Source of Life resonated with the Yi Wood element, and the Vast Sea Fine Wine resonated with the Yi Water element. The four bottles of wine that Zhou Xiaoxiao brought out resonated with the Fourth Fire, Third Fire, Seventh Metal, and Fifth Earth elements respectively. Ji Dong had already gathered six of the Ten Famous Wines, which meant that he could answer to the Flaming Bar in six years.
Seeing the four bottles of wine, Fury's eyes were also burning. As the president of the Central Plains City branch of the Bartenders Guild, he had seen the Famous Wines Record more than once. Seeing that Zhou Xiaoxiao had brought out four of the Famous Wines Record, how could he not be tempted? However, at the same time, a strong sense of vigilance arose in his heart. He would not accept a reward without doing anything, and it was obvious that he had a motive for taking out these priceless treasures.
"Is there any problem with the items?" Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Ji Dong's eyes and knew that he had achieved his goal.
Ji Dong nodded silently, closed the brocade box, and carefully put it into his Vermilion Bird Bracelet. Seeing him put away the four bottles of wine, the fat on Zhou Xiaoxiao's face finally relaxed. She said, "Ji Dong, can we have a good talk now?"
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Zhou Xiaoxiao became spirited and said, "What happened in the Central Plains City was just an accident. I can assure you that the same thing will never happen again. I hope you can continue to fulfill the original agreement and go to the Western Jin Empire as soon as possible to accept the assessment of the Chamber of Commerce's council. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it. These four bottles of wine are my gifts to you. I can still afford them." Zhou Xiaoxiao said.
Hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao's last sentence, Ji Dong couldn't help but be surprised. He thought that Zhou Xiaoxiao would use this to persuade him, but he didn't expect that Zhou Xiaoxiao would say this. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao. Although his eyes were small, they were very sincere.
"Okay, I promise you." Ji Dong didn't put any conditions on Zhou Xiaoxiao and directly agreed.
"Teacher Ji Dong, you have to think twice!" Chen Sixuan reminded.
On the other side, Miaomiao also said, "Yes, even if you agree, you have to talk with him about the conditions."
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "Collect the ten famous wines and offer one bottle to the Flaming Bar every year. This is my promise to the Flaming Bar, and also the last wish of the Flaming Bar. I don't want to make any concessions on this matter.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes changed as he looked at Ji Dong. At this moment, he knew that the reason why Ji Dong wanted to collect the ten famous wines was to offer a sacrifice to one person. For this reason, he was willing to make such a big concession. In fact, he was already prepared that Ji Dong would ask for an exorbitant price.
"Ji Dong, I'm afraid that it will be a little troublesome to take the assessment in the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce." Zhou Xiaoxiao said in a low voice. This time, there was no playful expression on his face, only sincerity. Since Ji Dong had agreed so generously, he didn't want to play any tricks, so he simply told the truth.
"What's the trouble?" Ji Dong asked calmly.
Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "This time, the two empires cutting off trade with the Chamber of Commerce has put a lot of pressure on me. At the same time, the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce were shocked. Your influence has been fully recognized by the Chamber of Commerce, and your magical formation has really surprised me. However, in this case, I'm afraid that the difficulty of your assessment by the council will be greatly increased. I don't know the specific content of the assessment, but the council has thrown out a temptation that I can't refuse. If you can pass the assessment, not only will you become my successor, you will also receive the support of the entire Chamber of Commerce. After you pass the assessment, you will receive the full support of the Chamber of Commerce no matter what you do. In other words, the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce will become your backyard and support you unconditionally. The first thing they can do is to hand over the three great divine weapons of the Chamber of Commerce to you."
"What?" This time, whether it was Ji Dong, Chen Sixuan, Fury or Miao Miao, all of them were shocked.
However, the shock that Zhou Xiaoxiao brought to them was not over. He said, "Not only that, the Chamber of Commerce will not restrict any of your actions, as long as you admit that you are the president of the Chamber of Commerce. In other words, you only need to use the name of the president to get the full support of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Why is that? What benefits does this bring to the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce? "Ji Dong looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao in surprise.
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, of course there are no benefits. The reason why they are so generous is that they don't believe that you can pass the assessment at all. The content of the assessment must be extremely difficult. They only have one request, which is that my council and I can't participate in the assessment. Because of the conflict between the two empires, I made a big fuss and replaced many people. This is also their revenge."
Chen Sixuan frowned and said, "Do you think that we can also do that if they ask Teacher Ji Dong to pick the stars from the sky? Your generous conditions are equivalent to nothing."
Zhou Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Of course it's impossible to complete it. There must be a glimmer of hope. If they really dare to propose an impossible task, I won't let them go. Ji Dong, this time, I personally obtained these four bottles of wine. How about this, you go and accept their assessment. If the assessment is too difficult or too dangerous, you can just give up. I won't blame you. "
Chen Sixuan wanted to say something, but Ji Dong raised his hand and stopped her. After thinking for a moment, he nodded to Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "Alright, I promise you, after we finish this trip, we will go to West Jin Empire."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, "That's great, I'll help you fight for everything possible. Since you've finished your trip to the Holy Evil Island, I'll go with you. After everything is over, we'll go back to West Jin Empire together."
Ji Dong said, "That's good. But I have to meet up with my friends on the way back."
The fatty laughed and said, "No problem, I don't really care about the time. You guys head to the Holy Evil Island first, I'll send someone to deliver the message. We'll meet up there shortly." Having said that, the fatty turned into a meteor and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He left in a satisfied manner.
"Teacher Ji Dong, how can you promise him? Even a Great Master like him said that it's very difficult. It must be very dangerous." Chen Sixuan said anxiously.
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "You don't understand. I am willing to do anything for the Flaming Bar. I am determined to get those four bottles of wine. This is the last thing I can do for the Flaming Bar. Even if it's a mountain of daggers or a sea of fire, I will still give it a try. I won't accept something from a stupid rich merchant for free."
"Ji Dong is right. No matter how difficult it is, there is still us. If we all help Ji Dong, nothing is impossible. "Fury's eyes were shining with confidence. He had a slightly different view from Ji Dong's.
Fury's eyes shone with confidence. He was thinking in a slightly different direction from Ji Dong. Zhou Xiaoxiao's offer was too generous for them to reject. If the ten Heavenly Stems could get three more Divine Weapons and the support of the foolishly rich Chamber of Commerce, it would be of great help to them. That was why he supported Ji Dong to fight. It was not only because each of them was powerful, but also because of the Five Elemental Cycle Formation that Ji Dong had created. Even the second and third champions could use the formation to such a powerful level. If the Heavenly Stems Holy Disciples were to use it, what would it be like?
The Sacred Evolution Fiery Dragon and the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon descended from the sky and landed on the scorched Holy Evil Island. Although nearly a year had passed, there was still no change here. Under the bombardment of the Myriad Thunder Calamity Realm, no plants could survive. All the vitality was almost wiped out.
It was one thing to look at it from afar, but it was another thing to see it with one's feet on the ground. After returning to the Holy Evil Island, Fury and Ji Dong's faces became serious, and so did Miaomiao's. None of them could forget what had happened in that catastrophe. At that time, the three of them tried their best but failed to stop the dark Tianji from activating the ceremony.
A trace of killing intent flashed in Ji Dong's eyes. He said bitterly, "If I had the chance to be reborn, I would have killed all the Heavenly Stems the first time I came to the Holy Evil Island."
Fury didn't say anything, but deep resentment could be seen from his expression. But now that everything had happened, it was too late to say anything.
