On April 1st, Zhang Tie stayed in his backroom for the whole day.
Businessmen in Motian Realm liked April 1st, so did Zhang Tie. When it came to this day, Zhang Tie was really excited like going to a fair. Because on this day, Zhang Tie could enter Castle of Black Iron once again and use various space-teleportation equipment. Besides, he could eat fruits that grew out of the small trees.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The Fruits of Redemption were still growing steadily. Each time Zhang Tie ate these fruits, his battle strength would improve correspondingly. Although this improvement might not be eye-catching for Zhang Tie now, Zhang Tie knew that drops of water could penetrate a stone. Therefore, he didn't despise these fruits; neither would he waste them. As long as they grew on the small tree, Zhang Tie would not let them go.
After Zhang Tie's body of immortal strength evolved by half, he had run out of fruits of golden uangs. If he set free golden uangs in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie could only gain merit value.
If it was in peaceful times in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie might travel around the world and slowly search for other living beings that could gain a complete body of immortal strength. However, at this moment, in Motian Realm, time was a luxury for Zhang Tie. Therefore, Zhang Tie would spend all his available time in cultivation where he could see the achievement or deal with some urgent matters.
Zhang Tie could see the achievement at once by eating fruits; however, it was urgent for him to study Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Therefore, after eating all the fruits in Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie took out that metal gourd from Grand Justice Qian's space-teleportation equipment and started to study the Golden-Soul Rune Virus inside.
There were 17 Golden-Soul Rune Virus inside the gourd.
The 17 Golden-Soul Rune Virus floated quietly in the gourd like 17 fireflies in the dark. 13 Golden-Soul Rune Virus could control fierce immortal generals, 3 Golden-Soul Rune Virus could control earth immortal generals and 1 Golden-Soul Rune Virus could control water immortal generals. The ratio of Golden-Soul Rune Virus to different Golden-Soul Rune Virus matched the number of immortal generals owned by small sects or clans. This also proved Zhang Tie's judgment that Dark Emperor Immortal Palace indeed prepared these Golden-Soul Rune Viruses for the next target of Grand Justice Qian.
After getting these Golden-Soul Rune Viruses and killing Grand Justice Qian, Zhang Tie saved some people indirectly.
After consuming a portion of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, Zhang Tie soon grasped the function and usage of the black gourd which stored Golden-Soul Rune Virus and some features of Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
The black gourd was both a container and a tool to release Golden-Soul Rune Virus. It was both a "fresh-keeping box" of Golden-Soul Rune Virus and a "crossbow" for releasing Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
Golden-Soul Rune Virus had to be put into this black gourd since it was produced. If it was not put into the black gourd, it would disappear automatically after being exposed to the natural environment for half an hour.
The method to release Golden-Soul Rune Virus was very simple. As long as one took off the lid of this gourd and penetrated his spiritual energy into the gourd, he would release Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
The Golden-Soul Rune Virus that was released from the black gourd could almost reach over 2,000 m per second. Additionally, different levels of Golden-Soul Rune Virus would respond to different chakras. As long as the target was within 1,000 m, ordinary immortal generals could barely escape from being targeted by Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
The runes on the black gourd were the same as those that were used to produce Golden-Soul Rune Virus. After fumbling for one day, Zhang Tie only slightly understood the principles and meanings of some simple runes on the black gourd. As for the composition and manufacturing process of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, it was also far out of Zhang Tie's current ability and understanding. Zhang Tie could only confirm that this was a rune system that he had not seen before. The one who could produce Golden-Soul Rune Virus must be a top figure in runes across Motian Realm.
Additionally, Zhang Tie found that the black gourd contained a very rare metal in Motian Realm — — tiger-marrow gold. According to Zhang Tie's knowledge, such a metal could only be found in a place called Baihu City in Motian Realm. Baihu City was in the territory of Immortal Sword Mountain Villa. Immortal Sword Mountain Villa would auction all the tiger-marrow gold that it produced each year. Immortal Sword Mountain Villa should have a record of it.
Given the current situation, Zhang Tie might be able to figure out the background of His Majesty or Dark Emperor Immortal Palace through tiger-marrow gold and rune attainments …
However, Zhang Tie couldn't expose these things on his own initiative. He only expected that the same black gourd and those items in the sacrificial altar that he left in Si Clan's castle fell in the hands of Force Emperor Immortal Palace or Star Emperor Immortal Palace. Then, the two immortal palaces could dig further along this clue. 'As for me, I'm too skinny. I don't want to rush to the front line.'
After eating Guoguo and studying the black gourd and the Golden-Soul Rune Virus, Zhang Tie had spent one day in this way …
Although Zhang Tie was in the backroom today, he was very clear about what happened outside and what kind of shock it would arouse. Because under his arrangement, a grand ceremony was held in an immortal wind palace in Dragon Emperor City to celebrate the first trade of Dragon Emperor's Medicament between Emperor NvWa's Palace and Emperor NvWa's Palace. Zhang Tie especially told Hong Yukun to display all the element crystals and Dragon Emperor's Medicament on the spot. The sight of 100,000 glittering element crystals and 100,000 vials of brilliant Dragon Emperor's Medicament was definitely shocking.
Unless they were deaf or blind, everyone in Dragon Emperor City should have known the name of Dragon Emperor's Medicament.
As for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace which was extremely poor, of course, Dragon Emperor's Medicament was more shocking.
This was what Zhang Tie wanted to achieve …
At noon on April 2nd, Zhang Tie walked out of the backroom. As he had imagined, the moment Dragon Emperor's Medicament was exposed to the public, the seven elders and the presidents of the four major departments couldn't stay calm anymore. They had requested to see Zhang Tie yesterday. After receiving Zhang Tie's order, Leng Manxue just sent a crystal plate to Zhang Tie in a formal way. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't come out until one day later.
The moment he walked out of Jiaotai Palace, Zhang Tie had caught sight of Leng Manxue who was waiting for him outside Jiaotai Palace.
"The envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace arrived at Dragon Emperor City this morning and requested to see Your Majesty!"
Hearing Leng Manxue's news, Zhang Tie became slightly stunned. He had not imagined that the envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace would come here so coincidentally. When he arranged well and prepared to solve the internal problems of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and identify the problematic elders, the envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace arrived.
As Zhang Tie walked towards Yangxin Pavilion, he asked, "Who's that?"
"Yuanlang!"
"Where's he now?"
"He's still waiting for the summons outside the Forbidden City!"
"Did he bring something here?"
"Yuanlang's attendant brought a big iron cabinet!"
"Only one?" Zhang Tie slightly frowned. 'Although Star Emperor Immortal Palace responded fast, why did they only bring one?' Zhang Tie thought as he said, "Tell him to come to see me in Yangxin Palace …"
"Elders and Hall Masters …"
"Haha, it's not urgent to solve the internal problems of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for the time being. You notice them first. After the envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace left, they could come here together!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
A few minutes later, Zhang Tie saw Yuan Lang in Yangxin Palace once again.
This emissary of Star Emperor Immortal Palace looked as gentle and elegant as before. At the sight of Yuan Lang, Zhang Tie had to admit that this immortal general of Star Emperor Immortal Palace carried an amiable halo. After getting acquainted with him, Zhang Tie could barely treat him coldly.
Yuan Lang walked into the Yang Xin Palace Hall alone, while his several attendants waited outside the hall.
The moment he entered Yangxin Palace, Yuan Lang had revealed a smile as he bowed towards Zhang Tie respectfully, "It's my honor to meet you, Your Majesty!"
"Well, take a seat!" Zhang Tie waved his hand as Yuan Lang took a seat in Yangxin Palace calmly.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's face is radiant, and your cultivation has improved again. Congratulations!
"Let's put it straightforwardly. How does Your Majesty Star Emperor plan to explain it to me? Does Star Emperor Immortal Palace want to be at odds with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace or compensate me according to what I said?" Zhang Tie asked calmly.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem "Ahem … ahem … what happened last time should be a misunderstanding. The last batch of goods was unusual. Therefore, His Majesty Star Emperor was worried about the last batch of goods. For the sake of safety, he made some arrangements. Unexpectedly, His Majesty Star Emperor especially told me to apologize to Your Majesty on behalf of him …" Yuan Lang said as he stood up and bowed towards Zhang Tie.
"Apologize?" Zhang Tie's face turned slightly cold as he asked, "Does Your Majesty Star Emperor think that he could forgive me only by apologizing to me?"
"Of course not. Star Emperor even told me to bring Your Majesty a fire demon immortal general as compensation. I think this is enough to represent the sincerity of Star Emperor Immortal Palace!"
A fire immortal general was a semi-sage level knight. Although it was still a bit far from Zhang Tie's requirement a few days ago, with the complete fire chakra of this demon semi-sage level knight, Zhang Tie felt that he could promote to 4 change realm of heavenly knight steadily.
— — This was indeed a great gift. If Zhang Tie asked for an exorbitant price, Star Emperor Immortal Palace had really paid him back.
'Immortal emperors are really not easily scared. Even though I've used the name of Dragon Emperor, it's still not that easy …'
'However, I'm just blackmailing them by assuming the majesty of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace really fell out with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, I would be worried about them.' Actually, Zhang Tie was very happy about this fire demon immortal general sent by Star Emperor Immortal Palace. He almost whistled.
With the platform of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie could indeed improve his battle strength rapidly. If he was in another place, he would never have such a good opportunity to have an immortal emperor send a demon immortal general to him the moment he opened his mouth. The top three sects in Taixia Country might not even dream about it. 'If I were in Taixia Country, how could I have Meng Shidao die here? Of course not.'
'I've made the right decision.'
As Zhang Tie was happy, of course, he didn't look too bad …
