Jianchen's words reignited a sliver of hope in Lei Jun's gloomy eyes. However, he immediately became troubled when he heard Jianchen's request.
"Hall master, you may not know this, but the jadestone used to nurture the Scarlet Glass Fruit is extremely precious. Even our Heavenly Thunder Tribe doesn't possess such jadestone. The three jadestones we're using this time were all given to us by a terrifying organisation that's countless times more powerful than our Heavenly Thunder Tribe. Moreover, there are only three jadestones. Our Heavenly Thunder Tribe won't be able to produce a fourth," Lei Jun said bitterly.
Jianchen sat leisurely in the main seat. He tapped his finger on the table rhythmically and said calmly, "If you can't produce it, then I can't guarantee that your Heavenly Thunder Tribe will be able to stay in the Darkstar territory. I'll give you half a month's time. Get your clan to provide me with thirty of those jadestones. "
"Three … Three … Thirty …" Lei Jun's eyes were wide open, and he was quite shocked. Although he did not know how precious the jade that contained the Law of Time was, even the Heavenly Thunder Clan did not have such a thing, so it was not difficult to guess its value and rarity.
In his opinion, it would be good enough if he could produce three of such precious and rare jadestones. He did not even dare to think about producing thirty of them.
"That's right. If you can produce thirty jadestones, not only will I protect your Heavenly Thunder Tribe, but I'll also give your Heavenly Thunder Tribe an extra tael of Ancestral Sacred Land," said Jianchen.
Lei Jun finally felt a little comforted when he heard the mention of Ancestral Sacred Land. "Then I'll send a message to my clan and inform them of your request." With that, Lei Jun left the Pantheon Palace. He no longer cared about what would happen in the Pantheon Palace. He was in an extremely bad mood after falling from heaven to hell.
Many of the geniuses in the Pantheon Palace gloated when they saw the Heavenly Thunder Tribe suffer. Last time, when Lei Jun took out the Scarlet Glazed Fruit, he was extremely arrogant and showed off his ambition to make everyone submit to the Heavenly Thunder Clan. This made many people dissatisfied with him. Now that Lei Jun had seen his greatest reliance on the Darkstar race, the Scarlet Glass Fruit, thrown back without hesitation by the Fifth Hall Master, who had even made an even more difficult request, Lei Jun instantly fell from heaven to hell.
Such an outcome caused everyone to feel extremely satisfied and carefree. Their expressions were filled with schadenfreude.
In the end, Jianchen's gaze landed on the dozens of supreme talents in the Pantheon Divine Palace and said, "Is there anyone among you who can take out something that meets my requirements?"
Many supreme talents were silent. No one spoke. They had already received news from their clans that they could not bring god-level treasures of heaven and earth into the Darkstar Realm.
After a moment of silence, one of the supreme talents stood up and cupped his fists at Jianchen. "Lord Hall Master, although we can't take out god-level treasures of heaven and earth, we can provide other kinds of cultivation resources for the Fifth Hall. After all, every year, the Darkstar race needs to exchange a large amount of cultivation resources from us. We're willing to make up for it with these things. Please give us a chance, Lord Hall Master."
"Oh, I see …" Jianchen showed a hint of hesitation and said reluctantly, "Since I have this pill from the Jade Pill Sect, then my desire for god-level treasures of heaven and earth is not so strong. In that case, I'll give you a chance."
When they heard that, the supreme talents gathered in the Pantheon Divine Palace immediately became overjoyed. As for the supreme talent from the Jade Pill Sect, his face immediately became the colour of a pig's liver. It was as ugly as it could get.
Before they could say anything, Jianchen continued, "It just so happens that my race needs a large amount of divine crystals right now. How about this? As long as each of you take out some divine crystals, I'll promise to protect you in the Darkstar race.
"Don't put on such sad faces. I know how the Seventh Hall and Sixth Hall threatened you in the past. I'm not that kind of person. I definitely won't do something so overboard."
When they heard that, the supreme talents' expressions improved slightly. They really were afraid that the Fifth Hall would be like the Seventh Hall and demand an exorbitant price of ten billion supreme grade divine crystals for a hundred years of peace.
"Then how many divine crystals do you need from us, Lord Hall Master?" a supreme talent asked carefully.
"Two billion supreme grade divine crystals can get you a hundred years of protection from me. Five billion supreme grade divine crystals can get you five hundred years of protection from me. How about it? Isn't this price much better than what the Seventh Hall offered? "Jianchen looked at everyone with a smile.
"Five billion supreme grade divine crystals for five hundred years of peace is equivalent to one billion supreme grade divine crystals for a hundred years. It's equivalent to one-tenth of what the Seventh Hall offered …" In the Pantheon Divine Palace, many supreme talents secretly heaved a sigh of relief. One billion supreme grade divine crystals for a hundred years of peace. With the Seventh Hall raising the price before them, the supreme talents found it easier to accept this price.
"Lord Hall Master, you can't do this. You absolutely can't do this!" When the supreme talent from the Jade Pill Sect heard that the other forces could obtain protection by paying only supreme grade divine crystals, he immediately panicked. With an anxious expression, he said, "Lord Hall Master's protection is so honorable and glorious. Such glory can only be enjoyed by offering up rare items in the Darkstar race. How can we use something as cheap as supreme grade divine crystals to obtain Lord Hall Master's glory? Please retract your order, Lord Hall Master. "
Jianchen's expression darkened slightly. He glanced over coldly and said in a cold voice, "Is the Jade Pill Sect trying to order me around?"
The supreme talent from the Jade Pill Sect had a terrible expression on his face as if his parents had died. Their Jade Pill Sect's ancestor had personally gone out and spent a lot of effort to refine this unprecedented magical pill. Only then did they obtain the protection of the Fifth Divine Palace. In the end, the others only needed to spend some divine crystals to obtain the same treatment as the Jade Pill Sect. This naturally made the supreme talent from the Jade Pill Sect very unwilling.
This was because in this way, the Jade Pill Sect's grand wish to dominate the Hundred Holy Cities and obtain the greatest benefits would be in vain.
However, in the face of the angry Fifth Hall Master, the supreme talent from the Jade Pill Sect did not dare to say anything.
He immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "Lord Hall Master, you've misunderstood. Our Jade Pill Sect wouldn't dare to be so bold."
"Then shut your mouth obediently." Jianchen was not polite to the supreme talent from the Jade Pill Sect. He then said to the many supreme talents in the Temple of the Gods, "Remember, there are only 50 spots for you to obtain my protection with divine crystals. Among you, I will only protect 50 families and forces. "
"As for those forces who have been protected by me, don't think of incorporating other families and forces to indirectly obtain my protection. I'm not as stupid as you think. If you really dare to do so, hehehe, you'd better think clearly about the consequences of fooling me."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard that. At that moment, there were eighty or ninety organisations gathered in the Pantheon, but there were only fifty spots. Didn't that mean that less than half of them did not have any backing?
In the current bad situation where the Seventh Hall was eager to kill them, having no backing meant that they had to give up their foundation here.
However, more people were looking at the elite of the Jade Alchemy Sect with gloating looks on their faces.
"Lord Hall Master, the Heavenly Thunder Clan is willing to pay divine crystals …" At this moment, Lei Jun, who had received the news, returned and ran in from outside in a hurry.
"The Heavenly Thunder Clan is only allowed to take out 30 jade stones that contain the Law of Time. Otherwise, you can forget about existing in the Dark Star Tribe." Jianchen's words immediately made Lei Jun's fiery heart turn cold.
