"Who would've thought that the first Divine Artifact I've ever obtained would be cursed …"
Bai Xiaowen was a bit upset, but it was understandable.
After all, Tie Muzhen was a King-class Elite, so his equipment should be Epic Tier. So it was normal for him to get "Blade of the Brothers of the Grassland". But it was rare for a Divine Item to appear.
Even if the Blessing of Longevity was cursed, it was still a good piece of equipment.
What Bai Xiaowen didn't know was that the Spiritual Realm also left a way to remove the curse. That was to find a shaman that the Mongolians worshipped and use witchcraft as a sacrifice to get the approval of the Immortal God.
This was a continuous quest, and it was very difficult.
Even if Bai Xiaowen knew about it, he didn't have that much time to remove the curse. He planned to use this necklace as a temporary item to recover his spiritual energy. He just didn't have to wear it all the time.
What Bai Xiaowen was more concerned about was the "sealed state" of the Divine Item. Was this not the full state of the Divine Item? Would the Divine Item be even more powerful in its peak state?
Anyway, as long as he controlled the Shaoding Plane, he would be able to unlock the secrets of this Divine Item, whether it was the seal or the curse.
Bai Xiaowen was quite satisfied with the three pieces of equipment dropped. When he killed the Black Sky Lord, he was turned into dust by the stacking power of the Demon Suppression Talisman, so he didn't get any loot. Now that he had killed another King-class Elite, he made up for his regret.
Apart from these three items, there were also some miscellaneous items, such as Tie Muzhen's Golden Wolf Token and a bottle of fermented horse milk.
Among them, the Golden Wolf Token was a token that only Tie Muzhen had. Its status was comparable to the Imperial Seal of the Southern Song Dynasty. Tie Muzhen had a strong desire for power, so he always carried the Golden Wolf Token with him.
Of course, even if Bai Xiaowen had the Golden Wolf Token, he couldn't command the grassland. This thing also didn't have any magical powers attached to it. After the new Khan confirmed that the Golden Wolf Token was lost, he just needed to create another token like the Golden Eagle Token or the Silver Wolf Token.
…
Southern Song Dynasty, Lin 'an Prefecture, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Zhao Yun (Emperor Li Zong of Song) summoned Prime Minister Shi Miyuan to the palace to discuss important matters.
Shi Miyuan already had a card up his sleeve, and his expression was calm. After seeing the Emperor, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty has summoned me. May I know what is the matter?"
"Prime Minister, after I finished my breakfast today, I discovered that there was an additional brocade box in my bedroom!" Song Lizong Zhao Yun's face was very ugly, "Ask the guards and eunuchs, no one knows where this brocade box came from. I ordered someone to open the box and found a letter and a token. "
Zhao Yun then ordered the guards to pass the letter and token to Shi Miyuan.
Shi Miyuan unfolded the letter.
"To His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song: The Jin Kingdom is destroyed, and the Mongols are flourishing. I have recently heard that the Mongols intend to invade the south. In order to protect the people of the Song Dynasty from the calamity of war, I spared no effort and traveled to the desert to kill the enemy Temujin, Prince Chagatai, General Jebe, and more than forty other Mongol nobles, thus temporarily delaying the Mongols' southern expedition.
"I present Temujin's Golden Wolf Token to His Majesty. May Your Majesty treat your people well, and the world will be blessed. If he were to go against the flow, the heavens would not protect him.
"Sect Master of the Changsen Sect, Lu Wang."
The token on the side had a golden base and silver edges, and the carved wolf head was very lifelike. It was obviously the Golden Wolf Token.
After Shi Miyuan read the letter, Zhao Yun hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think? This Sect Master of the Changsen Sect, Lu Wang, said that he killed Temujin. Is it true? "
Shi Miyuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Changsheng Sect's Sect Master was able to enter the Forbidden Palace's inner court without anyone noticing. He even placed such a big brocade box in Your Majesty's bedroom without anyone knowing. Then it is very likely that he assassinated Temujin. After all, this kind of thing can be easily found out by the spies of the Imperial City Secret Service and the Secret Service. If he were to boast, he would only be a laughing stock. "
Zhao Yun sat on the chair and muttered, "So … Temujin is really dead?"
Shi Miyuan nodded.
Zhao Yun stood up and asked anxiously, "What is the background of this Changsen Sect Master?"
Shi Miyuan said, "I heard that there are Daoist sects in the Song Dynasty, and the Changsen Sect should be one of them. Daoist sects usually don't care about worldly affairs, but the Changsen Sect is an exception. When Li Quan and Quan Zicai were rescued, the Changsen Sect was involved. The Changsen Sect Master, Lu Wang, has the ability to take the head of an enemy from thousands of miles away as if he is picking up grass. "
Zhao Yun was silent for a while and said, "Daoist cultivators should just focus on their cultivation. Why bother with the affairs of the Imperial Court?"
Shi Miyuan knew that the last sentence of the letter touched Zhao Yun's bottom line. After all, the words "Heaven will not protect you" were almost a threat.
The meaning of the Changsen Sect Master was very simple. If I can kill Temujin, I can also kill you.
As for Zhao Yun, he had not personally experienced the terror of the Mongols. It was only the failure of the Northern Expedition, and the Mongols had not yet started their Southern Expedition. Naturally, he did not feel that Bai Xiaowen's success in assassinating Genghis Khan was a great contribution to the Song Dynasty.
As an Emperor, having a sword on his neck was of course uncomfortable.
Shi Miyuan had already met Bai Xiaowen before. The reason he was summoned to the palace was to guide Zhao Yun's thoughts and lead him to the path that Bai Xiaowen wanted to take.
"Your Majesty, from the words in this letter, it seems that the Changsen Sect still prioritizes the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, the Changsen Sect Master would not take the risk to assassinate Temujin. Your Majesty is wise and kind. As long as you are lenient and love the people, the Changsen Sect Master will not be a threat to you. "
Zhao Yun said, "But, since I know that there is such a powerful person who can take my head at any time … how can I sleep peacefully?"
Bai Xiaowen's strength was much stronger than the average Jianghu martial artist.
Shi Miyuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Appeasing Ambassador of Huaibei, Gu Long, has connections with the Changsen Sect. Your Majesty, why don't you use Gu Long to express your goodwill to the Changsen Sect Master? As long as you form a good relationship with them, your Majesty will have a powerful ally who can ensure your Majesty's stability. "
Zhao Yun was also tempted and asked, "But what kind of gift should I give to get the Changsen Sect Master to accept me? I heard that cultivators are all very virtuous. "
Shi Miyuan said, "Cultivators see gold and silver as dirt, but they are extremely thirsty for treasures that are beneficial to their cultivation."
Zhao Yun was energized and said, "That's right. I can choose some treasures from the palace treasury and give them to the Changsen Sect Master on time. I can also search for treasures among the people and give them to the immortals." In Zhao Yun's mind, the Changsen Sect Master was already an immortal.
Shi Miyuan reminded, "Your Majesty, when searching for treasures among the people, you can only give it to your trusted subordinates. Do not give it to the various political envoys. This is to prevent the local officials from disturbing the people with their treasure-hunting edicts. That would not be good."
