"A first-form Profound Divine Metal!"
Upon hearing the Chaos Divine Earth's childish voice, Duan Ling Tian immediately shut his mouth. He was about to choose the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon when he heard it.
"This … This is a first-form Profound Divine Metal?"
Duan Lingtian asked the Chaos Divine Earth. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the inconspicuous pearl in Hu Lin Yi's hand.
"There's no mistake."
The Chaos Divine Earth replied, "As one of the Five Divine Elements, I can recognize a first-form Profound Divine Metal. The Profound Divine Metal is quite lucky. It managed to find a first-form Profound Divine Metal while it was sleeping.
Lad, as long as you obtain this first-form Profound Divine Metal, you can devour and assimilate the Profound Divine Metal in your body when it wakes up. At that time, the Profound Divine Metal in your body will evolve to the third form, and it'll be of great help to you! "
The Chaos Divine Earth reminded Duan Lingtian when it sensed Duan Lingtian's desire for the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.
As for defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons, with your innate talent, it won't be difficult for you to obtain one once you join the Three Sects and Two Clans. "
The Chaos Divine Earth was worried Duan Lingtian would choose the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon instead of the first-form Profound Divine Metal.
In fact, Duan Ling Tian had already decided to choose the inconspicuous pearl in Hu Lin Yi's hand after he confirmed it was a first-form Profound Divine Metal.
Although the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon was good, it was not as valuable as the first-form Profound Divine Metal.
Duan Lingtian looked at the scarlet vest in Hu Lin Yi's hand reluctantly. He was about to choose the first-form Profound Divine Metal when a burst of laughter rang out.
"Hahahaha …"
Hu Lin Yi had no choice but to pause and look at the person who was laughing.
The person who was laughing was none other than Xue Mingcai, the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Hu Lin Yi's expression darkened. An ominous feeling rose in his heart.
After a long while, Xue Mingcai stopped laughing. He looked deeply at Hu Linyi and said with a smile that was not a smile:
"Emperor Hu, if I'm not wrong, the bead in your hand should be the one you bought at the Black Mountain Kingdom's royal auction two hundred years ago, right?"
"If I remember correctly, you only spent 20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to get this pearl, right?"
Xue Ming Cai looked at Duan Lingtian and said mockingly, "Duan Lingtian, it seems like Emperor Hu is reluctant to give you his purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given you such a lousy pearl."
"It seems like he's taking a gamble. If you choose this broken pearl, he won't have to give you the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon."
"Why don't you come to our Southern Qi Nation? At the very least, I won't be as petty as Emperor Hu."
Xue Mingcai glanced at Hu Linyi mockingly.
Hu Lin Yi's expression changed drastically when Xue Mingcai mentioned the Black Mountain Kingdom's royal auction.
He did not expect Xue Mingcai would know about it.
He did not expect Xue Mingcai would reveal his true intentions in front of so many people.
Indeed, he was trying to mislead Duan Lingtian into choosing the pearl when he said it was worth more than a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.
Just as Xue Mingcai had said, he was reluctant to part with the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon in his left hand.
"It seems like Emperor Xue is telling the truth. Emperor Hu is really trying to mislead Duan Lingtian!"
"Emperor Hu is so insincere. He's not even giving away a King Grade Celestial Weapon. Moreover, he's trying to mislead Duan Lingtian."
"I thought Emperor Hu's pearl is something good. I didn't expect it to be something he bought at the Black Mountain Kingdom's royal auction for 20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals."
"20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals … How stingy."
"That's right. Even an ordinary complete King Grade Celestial Weapon is worth at least 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. 20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals is really stingy. "
…
Upon hearing Xue Mingcai's words and seeing Hu Lin Yi's expression, it was not difficult for the people present on the scene to see that Xue Mingcai was telling the truth.
"Xue Mingcai, don't slander me!"
Hu Linyi called Xue Mingcai by his name instead of calling him Emperor Xue. Clearly, he was really angry.
"Slander?"
Xue Mingcai smiled. "You said I'm slandering you? Why don't we wait for the people from the Black Mountain Kingdom to come so we can talk to the Emperor of the Black Mountain Kingdom?"
Naturally, Hu Lin Yi would not talk to the Emperor of the Black Mountain Kingdom since he had indeed spent 20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to buy the pearl.
Moreover, he had indeed bought it at the Black Mountain Kingdom's royal auction in the past.
"Xue Mingcai, are you sure this pearl is worthless?"
Hu Lin Yi stared at Xue Mingcai and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you try and see if you can destroy it? Why don't you try and see if you can leave a mark on it? Even if it's just a tiny bit. "
As Hu Lin Yi spoke, he passed the pearl in his hand to Xue Mingcai.
"Emperor Hu, I didn't say I could leave a mark on the pearl. Our strength is about the same. If you can't leave a mark on it, it's only natural that I can't as well."
Xue Mingcai said indifferently.
"Then, what makes you think it's useless?"
Hu Lin Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Am I wrong?"
Xue Mingcai smiled. "You spent 20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals on this pearl. Moreover, you couldn't figure out anything even after studying it for so long. How can it be anything good?
Why don't you tell me what's so good about it? Or, what's the use of it? "
The smile on Xue Mingcai's face grew wider and wider as he spoke. It was as though he was certain he had Hu Lin Yi in his grasp.
Hu Lin Yi's expression turned even more unsightly upon hearing this.
"Emperor Hu, if I were you, I'd give these two items to Duan Lingtian to prove that I'm willing to part with my purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon."
Xue Mingcai said as though he was trying to stir up trouble.
Hu Lin Yi was even more enraged by Xue Mingcai's words. In the end, he had no choice but to hand the two items to Duan Lingtian.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do.
I'm going to do it anyway, "Hu Lin Yi said as he glanced at Xue Mingcai coldly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Duan Lingtian did not decline and accepted the two items without hesitation.
He did not expect the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation would not only allow him to obtain the first-form Profound Divine Metal, but he would also obtain a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.
"Boy, the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation is not bad," the Chaos Divine Earth said in a childish voice.
The Chaos Divine Earth's childish voice rang in the air. Clearly, it did not expect Duan Lingtian to receive such a pleasant surprise.
"With this purely defensive King Grade Celestial Artifact, your defense will be even stronger than before when I infuse my power into it!"
Previously, Duan Lingtian had taken out the King Grade Celestial Weapon umbrella to defend against Xue Jing Yu's attack. It was all thanks to the Chaos Divine Earth's help that he was able to block Xue Jing Yu's attack.
If it were not for the Chaos Divine Earth's help, Hu Lin Yi would have been severely injured by Xue Jing Yu's attack.
"Emperor Hu, you're really generous!"
Xue Mingcai laughed when he saw Hu Lin Yi giving the two items to Duan Lingtian. Then, he called out to the people from the Southern Qi Nation and led them away.
Although he had lost the bet with Hu Lin Yi, he was still confident in his victory.
At this moment, he felt more like the victor.
Even the onlookers felt that the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation had won the battle between the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation and the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation.
Upon seeing Xue Mingcai leaving with the people from the Southern Qi Nation, Hu Lin Yi turned to look at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat when he saw Hu Lin Yi's expression. He could not help but feel slightly worried. 'Is Emperor Hu going to ask me to return the items to him?'
If Hu Lin Yi was shameless enough to ask him to return the items to him, he would have no choice but to do so.
'It'll be fine if he asks me to return the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon. However, if he asks me to return the first-form Profound Divine Metal, I'll return it to the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation and enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm on behalf of the Southern Qi Nation!'
Duan Lingtian made up his mind and waited for Hu Lin Yi to ask him to return the items to him.
However, the truth proved that Duan Ling Tian had thought too much.
Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, would not ask Duan Lingtian to return the items to him in front of the people from the Supporting Fall Nation even if there were no onlookers around.
If he did that, he would seem petty. Not only would it incur Duan Lingtian's wrath, but he might even push Duan Lingtian to the Southern Qi Nation's side.
"Are you confident you'll make it to the top ten?"
Hu Lin Yi asked with a smile on his face as he looked at Duan Lingtian anxiously.
"I'll do my best."
Duan Lingtian sighed in relief when he heard Hu Lin Yi's question. He knew Hu Lin Yi would not ask him to return the items to him.
Hu Lin Yi beckoned to Duan Lingtian and the others before they continued to make their way to the center of the Scaling Cloud Lake.
"Brother Duan, congratulations … I didn't expect you to gain so much from the Southern Qi Nation's Emperor's antics."
Huang Jia Long sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Lingtian to congratulate Duan Lingtian. He was genuinely happy for Duan Lingtian.
As for the others, their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.
Hu Ji Yong, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation, was especially envious of Duan Lingtian.
Before today, he was unaware that the Imperial family of the Supporting Fall Nation possessed a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.
Now that he had found out about it, his father had given it to him.
When Duan Lingtian and the others arrived at the center of the Scaling Cloud Lake, Duan Lingtian saw more than 10,000 people had gathered there.
