Facing the chance to gain a silver secret item, even those elders from clans of provincial governors couldn't stay calm anymore as they all sprung up.
Even Lu Dingzhi the head of Lu Clan who had always been calm became a bit thrilled as he sprung up at once, not to mention those elders from clans of provincial governors.
As Lu Dingzhi served as the official of the Imperial Financial Bureau, he had always stayed in Goldenrock Subcontinent. He didn't have a chance to practice in the Earth-elements Realm at all. Although he had seen pearls of secret items on some special occasions, he didn't have one. 4 years ago, Lu Dingzhi failed to compete for the position of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province with Zhang Taixuan. Over the past 2 years, although Lu Dingzhi had also promoted to an earth knight, he was still a bit weaker than Zhang Taixuan. Lu Dingzhi even planned to take a look in the Earth-elements Realm a few days later. He had not imagined that he could gain a silver secret item so fast.
However, all the female knights at present couldn't move their eyes away from the 18 pearls of secret items the moment they uncovered the red silk cloth. Most of the women couldn't resist gems and jewels which were shiny. Of course, knights didn't lack jewels and jewels. However, at this moment, the 18 secret pearls were as attractive as irresistible jewels in the eyes of these female knights, whether they were women or knights.
Watching their excited and eager looks and the slightly chaotic seats, Zhang Tie revealed a big smile, "This item is just for your pleasure. If you want to take a closer look at it, just come here. After a while, it depends on your luck as to who could take away these items …"
Closely after Zhang Tie's words, the elders of the three provincial governors' clans and Lu Dingzhi who were sitting in the front of the guest seats had instantly strode towards Zhang Tie. At the same time, they started to look at those secret pearls with gleaming eyes. After touching and knocking those secret pearls, they started to comment on them.
With this example, all the other knights, elders, masters and clan heads who were a bit hesitant instantly rushed over here with a boom.
Among them, some people rushed over so quickly that some of the chairs on the seats were knocked over, causing a bit of chaos.
Even the elders and knights rushed over here, so did those young disciples who wanted to take a look at the pearls of secret items in the Earth-elements Realm out of curiosity.
As for these young disciples, silver secret items were too far away. Many of them could only dream about it for the rest of their lives. Now that they had a chance to touch them, of course, they would not miss it.
However, when those young disciples arrived, the 18 pearls of secret items had long been surrounded by elders and knights of clans. As for those young disciples of clans and sects, they could only watch those brilliant pearls of secret items in the periphery with admiring looks.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two groups of people sitting on the seats of the ceremony, one of which was the members of Immortal Fist Position Sect.
The members of Immortal Fist Position Sect could never imagine that the golden eggs were precious pearls of secret items in the Earth-elements Realm. 'F * ck, that's too terrifying. In the opening ceremonies of those sects in Taixia Country, even the top 7 sects in Taixia Country, nobody has seen 10-20 pearls of secret items casually in the opening ceremonies of those sects in Taixia Country, even the top 7 sects in Taixia Country. What a local tyrant! In front of such a generous gift, he was nothing but sh * t.'
Those disciples of Immortal Fist Position Sect who were talking about how shabby the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect blushed at this moment. Nangong Sheng and the two elders on his side also felt restless. They wanted to touch and comment on those pearls of secret items like others; however, they felt it was not proper for them to do that. If they just sat here, they would feel like being an exception. Therefore, they all became embarrassed.
Zhang Yang and his two sons remained still. Finding that their dad didn't move, Zhang Tie's two nephews dared not move either. They just widely opened their eyes and watched those shocking pearls of secret items with flickering eyes.
Zhang Yang didn't move because he was really shocked by Zhang Tie. Among all the people here, only he knew that this so-called Fire Dragon Hermit was his younger brother Zhang Tie.
Over these years, Zhang Tie escaped to the Earth-elements Realm. In Zhang Yang's imagination, Zhang Tie must live a hard life. However, at the sight of the 18 pearls of secret items, Zhang Yang found that Zhang Tie's life might be much better than that of his imagination.
Zhang Yang stared at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie then threw a glance at his elder brother. Zhang Tie blinked his eyes.
"Dad, can we take a look at those pearls of secret items?" After hearing his second son Zhang Chengxu on his side, Zhang Yang responded at once, "Erm, fine, fine, let's go take a look. Even your dad is shocked by so many secret pearls..."
Zhang Yang whispered to his two sons so as to cover his impolite behavior.
Of course, even though Zhang Yang was the head of Jinwu Business Group, he was not sure whether he could squeeze in. However, Zhang Yang was not worried at all. Because he knew that now that Zhang Tie could take out so many pearls of secret items at once, Zhang Tie, as his younger brother and uncle, would definitely take out more pearls of secret items than these pearls of secret items if he or his sons needed them in the future. With such a rich brother and family member, Zhang Yang didn't need to worry about that at all...
Zhang Yang was even sure that Zhang Tie would find a chance to gift a secret pearl to Huaiyuan Palace. However, as there were so many knight-level powerhouses at present, Zhang Yang could not figure out how Zhang Tie would gift one secret pearl to Huaiyuan Palace without being discovered by others.
After glancing over those people of Immortal Fist Position Sect for a short while, Zhang Tie revealed a smile. Closely after that, he ignored them as he turned around and walked to the center of the circle. As for Zhang Tie, those people of Immortal Fist Position Sect were just like the spices of this ceremony. They were completely dispensable. Zhang Tie didn't care about them. Even if they jumped around, they could not jump too high.
Watching Zhang Tie throwing a glance at them, Nangong Sheng turned around and left with a smile. He felt being despised by Zhang Tie completely. Since he promoted to a knight and became the head of Immortal Fist Position Sect for 100 years, he had not experienced such a special treatment. He had not imagined that he could taste it again in Xuantian City today.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, all the youths of clans and sects outside the circle watched Zhang Tie with awe and admiration. Closely after that, they hurriedly gave way to Zhang Tie politely.
As for these disciples of clans and sects who came here to attend the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect, they had already known the thoughts of their elders before coming here. Actually, they were here to seek for a chance to be apprenticed to Fire Dragon Hermit. Previously, Fire Dragon Hermit was just a dignified and strange code name for these youths. However, since Zhang Tie showed up, especially after Zhang Tie presented so many pearls of secret items, all of them felt that they were extremely lucky to be apprenticed to such an earth knight.
When Zhang Tie came to the center of those pearls of secret items, some knights and elders were guessing which one of them contained a silver secret item.
Any pearl of a secret item which had not been cracked might contain a silver secret item, which might be a weapon, a precious nanobead or a space-teleportation equipment.
...
"This old man feels that this pearl of a secret item is most likely to contain a silver secret item..." Zhu Elder who was surrounded by a group of people was talking to the surrounding knights, "Look, the position of this pearl of a secret item in this circle corresponds to the Li position. The Li position belongs to fire. This bead is crimson like earth. Fire gives birth to earth. The crimson color of this bead corresponds to the Li position. This old man feels that this bead has the greatest possibility to contain a treasure..."
"Ah, Elder Zhu is proficient in the study of secret items?" Some knights asked out of admiration.
"Not at all, not at all. How could this old man say that I'm proficient in it? It's just that I've occasionally received pointers from an expert and was able to learn a little bit of the Five Elements Mind Sect in the 'Study of Secret Treasures'. I only know a little bit of it. Although Elder Zhu said modestly, his reserved look indicated that he enjoyed it very much. The study of secret items had a special position among knights. Knights who were proficient in the study of secret items were all great figures among knights. To say that a knight was proficient in the study of secret items was like praising a soldier who could be a general or praising a beautiful woman who could stay in the world forever. It was definitely a good compliment.
Hearing others' praise, Elder Zhu pointed at Lu Dingzhi who was gazing at a red agate with starlight grains on it with an extremely serious look, "Look, younger brother Lu, you look like you're proficient in the study of secret items. Do you feel that there's something in that pearl of a secret item?"
Lu Dingzhi turned around with a smile, "When I was Zhongguan Magistrate, I often dealt with metals and stones. Therefore, the Study of Secret Items belongs to the school of Xing Energy. According to the school of Xing Energy, this secret pearl probably contains a space-teleportation equipment like nanobead inside it because it contains a pretty high energy when it is formed..."
When Zhang Tie was walking towards here, he had heard Elder Zhu's words and Lu Dingzhi's words. After hearing Elder Zhu's words, Zhang Tie sniggered inside, 'It seems that Elder Zhu's study of secret items in the school of five-elements mental skill is not good enough. The pearl of secret items in the school of five-elements mental skill is just good-looking. However, after hearing Lu Dingzhi's words, Zhang Tie thought highly of Lu Dingzhi inside. Because the pearl of secret items that Lu Dingzhi mentioned was taken from the top region of Weapons Mountain, the pearl of secret items in that region probably contains a space-teleportation equipment. Mountain Lifting Hermit and the others were looking for space-teleportation equipment in the pearl of secret items on the top of Weapons Mountain.
'The secret study of secret items in Xuanyuan Hill is really something. It deserves to be an institution that serves the imperial households. However... that's all... '
"Ah, Fire Dragon Hermit is here..." At the sight of Zhang Tie, all the knight-level elders around the pearl of secret items greeted Zhang Tie with big smiles. Their attitudes were much warmer than that when they met at the beginning.
"It's the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect. Fire Dragon Hermit's great work would definitely become a good talk across Northeast Military Region. It's our honor to attend it..." Qian Elder said with a smile as he stroked his beard. All the surrounding knights nodded and agreed with Fire Dragon Hermit.
If Zhang Tie really smashed some golden eggs here, even if those who smashed them could take away the golden eggs made of pure gold, this opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect would really become a joke. However, if the so-called golden eggs turned into pearls of secret items, the latter would immediately become a popular story. Actually, there was only a fine line between the so-called joke and the popular story.
It was a joke for a poor man to chase after a girl in a romantic way; however, it was a well-told tale for a rich man to chase after a girl in a romantic way. This well-told tale had nothing to do with one's heart; instead, it depended on one's weight. Zhang Tie had already understood this way when he was in Blackhot City. Therefore, Zhang Tie started this game of smashing golden eggs. It didn't matter the form of the game; what mattered was what they smashed.
A naive teenager used lychees and fruits to express his love to a girl by making a pattern of an arrow piercing through the heart; a rich son used a circle of diamonds to express his love to a girl by making a pattern of an arrow piercing through the heart. Although the two methods were the same, nobody dared say that the result was the same...
In the eyes of others, the former was a joke while the latter was a popular story. The difference between a joke and a popular story was like the difference between lychees and diamonds. Pitifully, many naive teenagers didn't understand this reason at the beginning.
"Hahaha, it's good that you're happy; it's good that you're happy. From now on, we're all neighbors. This old Cui feels like moving into a new home. Who doesn't invite their neighbors, relatives and friends to have a seat in their new home …" Zhang Tie said generously.
Zhang Tie's words won another round of applause from the onlookers. What was forthright? That was forthright.
"Did Hermit find all these pearls of secret items in the Earth-elements Realm?" Elder Muyu opened his mouth.
Elder Muyu's respectful look made Zhang Tie sigh with emotions inside, 'This is the difference between knights. How could Elder Muyu know that he was talking with Zhang Tie?'
"All these pearls of secret items come from the Weapons Mountain in a hieron's temple in the Earth-elements Realm. They're my achievements!"
"Oh, it's said that Elder Fire Dragon Hermit once entered a hieron's temple in the Earth-elements Realm. The process was pretty perilous. I wonder whether it's this time!" A knight from Tongzhou Province asked Zhang Tie.
"Yes, an earth demon knight and a human knight who surrendered to demons launched an attack at the critical moment. As a result, our team was almost exterminated!"
"Ahh, what about the two earth knights?"
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he said frankly, "Hehheh, I've killed them all..."
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the onlookers were shocked inside. However, many people could not judge whether Zhang Tie was telling the truth for the time being...
"I wonder about the rules of Fire Dragon Hermit's lottery. Does everyone have a chance to participate in it?" The president of Huge Saber Union opened his mouth. Although Huge Saber Union was also a sect, it didn't have a deep foundation. This president had just promoted to a black iron knight for a few years. On this occasion, of course, clans and sects with shallow foundation would pay close attention to how these pearls of secret items would fall into the hands of others. They were afraid that they would not have a chance.
"Of course, everyone has a chance to participate in it. Each golden invitation card is a chance. All the clans and sects who have received a golden invitation card could try their luck fairly. After a while, you will draw your number twice. The number 'A' will draw the order of the lottery; the number 'A' will determine the number of these pearls of secret items fairly. Everyone has a chance. I, Lao Cui, treat all of you equally..."
When they were thinking about Zhang Tie's solution, Nangong Sheng, the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect,'s icy voice drifted from outside.
"It's said that Fire Dragon Hermit has an outstanding battle strength. You could even kill a shadow demon in the Earth-elements Realm. I admire you very much. At the sight of such a grand occasion, I feel a bit itchy. I wonder whether Fire Dragon Hermit would like to have a duel with me..."
After hearing Fire Dragon Hermit's words, all the onlookers became silent at once. Everyone could sense that Immortal Fist Position Sect came here with a bad intention. They had not imagined that Nangong Sheng was really here to challenge the sect in its opening ceremony...
If Nangong Sheng was still a bit scrupulous when he said that, he definitely became a bit embarrassed after hearing Fire Dragon Hermit's words.
As long as one party proposed to challenge the other party, the other party would either admit that he was inferior to the other party in battle strength or accept the challenge. To a certain degree, this was the rule of Taixia Country. If one wanted to establish a sect, of course, he should have the battle strength and courage to accept the challenge from people on the same level. If not, such a sect would mislead its disciples. Zhang Tie was an earth knight.
The master of Immortal Fist Position Sect was also an earth knight. Although it looked fair, many guests at present frowned inside. Everybody knew that Fire Dragon Hermit had just promoted to an earth knight. It was said that Fire Dragon Hermit killed a shadow demon in the Earth-elements Realm by luck. The shadow demon disguised itself and wanted to assassinate Fire Dragon Hermit; unexpectedly, it was assassinated by Fire Dragon Hermit first. Therefore, Fire Dragon Bounty Territory came into being. However, Nangong Sheng had already promoted to an earth knight for over 3 decades. Isn't he trying to take advantage of Fire Dragon Hermit?
Shameless! ' Many knights cursed in their hearts.
However, as all the others at present knew that Immortal Fist Position Sect was related to Taiyi Fantasy Sect, they just waited for Zhang Tie's response silently.
Even Elder Muyu became silent at this moment. Given the relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect was not bad. Lan Yunxi was in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Zhang Taixuan had already predicted this situation. He told Huaiyuan Palace not to help Fire Dragon Hermit if there was a conflict between Fire Dragon Hermit and Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
As for the conflict between Fire Dragon Hermit and Taiyi Fantasy Sect, it was said that Fire Dragon Hermit made a bet with an elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect in the Earth-elements Realm and won an airboat of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. After being humiliated by an earth knight, of course, Taiyi Fantasy Sect would not give it up. They had to do something to live up to the reputation of Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
Zhang Tie turned around while the others behind him made way for him, allowing Zhang Tie to see the members of Immortal Fist Position Sect...
"Do you want to fight me here?" Zhang Tie asked as he pointed at his own nose.
"Yes!" Nangong Sheng gritted his teeth inside. If he didn't fight Zhang Tie at this moment, it would be more difficult for him to fight Zhang Tie when the others started to "smash golden eggs". By then, all those who had gained benefits would stand on Zhang Tie's side. Nobody would support him. Therefore, Nangong Sheng made a prompt decision to attack Zhang Tie when the others were satisfied with Zhang Tie's strength.
Nangong Sheng also knew that Zhang Tie cultivated the marquis-level "Fire Dragon Sutra". However, as Zhang Tie had just promoted to an earth knight, Nangong Sheng didn't care about it. In Nangong Sheng's opinion, he would never lose to a junior who had just promoted to an earth knight based on his accumulation of over 3 decades.
It was a rare opportunity to challenge the Immortal Fist Position Sect. If he missed this opportunity, he would hardly have such an opportunity in the future.
Additionally, this time, Taiyi Fantasy Sect had already promised him something...
Watching Nangong Sheng's "I'm going to defeat you" expression, Zhang Tie revealed a smile...
...
The 5600 word chapter was presented to him. Finally, there was a piece of news that had nothing to do with him. At noon today, a chemical warehouse in Texas, USA exploded violently … (To be continued.)
