After walking out of the Utmost North Sage Emperor's Palace, Uncle Fu, who had been waiting outside, immediately came up to them.
"Uncle Fu, let's go."
Qin Yu did not even look at Zhou Xian, who was full of smiles, and directly led Uncle Fu toward the Imperial City's gates. Uncle Fu also knew that Qin Yu was in a bad mood, so he did not say anything.
"Brother Qin Yu …" Zhou Xian called out from behind.
However, Qin Yu and Uncle Fu acted as if they didn't notice it and continued to walk. When Zhou Xian saw this, he only smiled coldly and did not call out to Qin Yu anymore.
"Lord." Zhou Xian's follower was also waiting outside the Sage Emperor's Palace.
Zhou Xian glanced at his follower and said frivolously, "Let's go back too." He glanced at Qin Yu's back and sneered softly, "So what if your cultivation speed is fast and your strength is strong? You want to compete with me? "
Zhou Xian had always felt indignant toward Qin Yu.
Less than twenty thousand years ago, Qin Yu was just a minor character in the Mortal Realm. In Zhou Xian's eyes, he was not even comparable to an ant. However, in the blink of an eye, he had become a major character in the Divine Realm that made Zhou Xian feel enormous pressure.
The huge gap naturally made Zhou Xian feel very uncomfortable.
Defeating Qin Yu this time also made Zhou Xian feel very happy.
However, when he thought about how he had to secretly ask a few Sage Emperors for help with his father's help, he felt very uncomfortable. Zhou Xian also felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, the person he defeated with such difficulty was just a minor character in the Mortal Realm ten thousand years ago.
"Hmph, next time, I will definitely make this Qin Yu lose without any complaints." Zhou Xian's eyes flashed with lightning.
*****
Floating Cloud Mansion, in the guest hall.
After Qin Yu sat down, he waved his hand and said, "Uncle Fu, you can leave first. Don't let anyone disturb me." Uncle Fu bowed respectfully and then left. Only Qin Yu was left in the guest hall.
The guest hall was silent.
"The Sage Emperors that supported Zhou Xian in the judging this time around are clearly speaking lies against their conscience." Qin Yu's brows furrowed slightly. "This second gift is a test of one's diligence. The arrangement of the Purple Mystic Mansion, the refinement of the Purple Mystic Mansion, and the ornaments of the Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Can't you see my intentions then? "
"Moreover … without mentioning anything else, just the Mirage Spirit Mirror alone is enough to compare with the Nine Phoenix Crown. But when judging, they didn't even mention the Mirage Spirit Mirror, completely ignoring it. I'm afraid … they also know that they don't have an excuse to deny the Mirage Spirit Mirror. "
Qin Yu sneered in his heart.
How could Qin Yu not see through the shady dealings between the Sage Emperors?
"I wonder what price Zhou Xian's old man, the Northwest Saint Emperor, paid this time to make those Saint Emperors support his son." Qin Yu sneered, the coldness in his eyes growing stronger.
Some of the maids outside the hall didn't dare to enter.
Even from outside the hall, they were able to easily sense the dense ice-cold aura coming from the hall. Evidently, their master Qin Yu was currently burning with anger.
The maids looked to each other. They all had helplessness in their eyes.
Suddenly, a maid looked to the hall in surprise. The other maids also looked over. They were also surprised to discover … that a person had appeared in the hall without any cause or reason. However, no one had ever walked past them and entered the hall before.
Teleportation?
These maids were all shocked. Was the person who had entered the hall a Godking?
… …
"Uncle Lan, why have you come?" When Qin Yu saw Jiang Lan appear in the center of the hall, he immediately restrained his aura and stood up.
Jiang Lan shook his head with a smile. "From your appearance earlier, it would appear that you were truly enraged."
"What use is there in being angry? I merely vented my anger. I have yet to reach the level of facing insults with a smile. In the Sage Emperor's Palace, I could only restrain myself. However, now that I've arrived here, I decided to vent the anger in my heart. "Qin Yu said casually.
Jiang Lan slightly nodded.
"I also know that you would not become hot-headed because of a small matter like this. The reason why I came here was firstly to check out your current state. Secondly, I came to ask you, do you possess certainty in obtaining the third chosen candidate spot? "Jiang Lan asked.
"Third chosen candidate spot?"
Qin Yu grew silent. He started to ponder.
Qin Yu knew very well that as long as he took out a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. He would definitely be able to obtain the third chosen candidate spot. However, he currently only possessed two first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.
One was the Fire Origin Spiritual Pearl. The other was the Purple Rain Garment.
Merely, this Fire Origin Spiritual Pearl was something that Qin Yu had prepared for his future child with Li Er. As for the Purple Rain Garment, it was also something that he had prepared for Li Er. Qin Yu did not wish to take out either of them.
Other than these two, Qin Yu was unable to take out a gift that could completely defeat Zhou Xian.
"I will try my best for the third chosen candidate spot. I still possess a certain certainty in obtaining it." Qin Yu replied.
"Try your best? You mean you'll craft it yourself? "Jiang Lan asked with a smile.
Qin Yu slightly nodded. This was the advantage of being a grandmaster artifact craftsman. Without treasures, he could craft it himself. Merely … even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice!
Although his ability in artifact crafting was very strong, even with those precious materials, he would generally only be able to craft High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Even if he were to reach his peak state, he would at the very most only be able to craft a weapon comparable to a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.
However, a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure was something that he did not possess sufficient certainty in being able to defeat Zhou Xian.
"Little Yu, behind that Zhou Xian is the Thunder Punishment City. The Thunder Punishment City is one of the Eight Great Sacred Lands of the Divine Realm. Although they only possess a single first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, they still possess many second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. Especially … the Thunder Punishment City possesses the authority to manage the Lower Realms and the channel to leave the Divine Realm. " Jiang Lan sighed and said. "This Thunder Punishment City ought to be the one with the most treasures among the Eight Great Sacred Lands after searching through the various cosmic spaces of the Lower Realms."
The Thunder Punishment City was the most detached from worldly affairs among the Eight Great Sacred Lands.
In the Great War of the Divine Realm, only the Thunder Punishment City did not participate in it. Furthermore, behind the Thunder Punishment City was the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial. Thus, their status was even more extraordinary.
The Thunder Punishment City was in charge of the Thunder Punishment Energy and the channel to the Lower Realms from the Divine Realm.
Qin Yu was stunned.
"No wonder." Qin Yu suddenly smiled. "No wonder the other Sage Emperors gave the Northwest Sage Emperor face and supported Zhou Xian in the Sage Emperor's Palace."
Hearing that, Jiang Lan merely smiled.
This was something that anyone with a bit of brain would be able to guess. However, so what if they managed to guess it? After all, those people were all Sage Emperors. Who would dare to refute what they said?
"Little Yu, in order for you to obtain the third chosen candidate spot, the weapon that you craft must definitely be at the peak of second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. Only with that would you have certainty in being able to defeat Zhou Xian. "Jiang Lan said solemnly to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu naturally understood.
For the sake of marrying Jiang Li, Zhou Xian was willing to part with a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. However, he was definitely unwilling to part with a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. While he was willing to part with it … the Thunder Punishment City would also not be willing to part with it.
Thus, it would be fine as long as Jiang Lan's gift was at the peak of second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.
"Little Yu, if you have no method, then I have a method!" Jiang Lan said with a smile.
"What method?" Qin Yu was overjoyed.
Jiang Lan said with a smile. "In my mansion, there is an Ancient Ironwood Tree. The history of this Ancient Ironwood Tree is not much shorter than the history of the Divine Realm. It is over a hundred million years old … Its branches are capable of easily crafting Mid Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts. As for its trunk, it is also not difficult for it to craft High Quality Heavenly Divine Artifacts. As for the most precious item, the Tree Core, it contains Grandmist Spiritual Energy. As long as one's skill is sufficient, it is even possible for one to craft a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. "
"Let's chop down this Ancient Ironwood Tree. Among the materials in the Divine Realm, there is not a single material that is comparable to the Ancient Ironwood Tree's Tree Core. Back then, the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan had used other precious materials to craft a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. If you were to craft it using the even more precious Ancient Ironwood Tree's Tree Core, with your skill, I believe that a new first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure will be born in the Divine Realm. If you were to craft it, you would definitely be able to obtain the third chosen candidate spot. "
Qin Yu was stunned.
He looked to Uncle Lan in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Lan looked to Qin Yu with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Lan?" Qin Yu felt a burst of sourness in his heart. The significance of this Ancient Ironwood Tree to Uncle Lan was something that Qin Yu had heard before. When Uncle Lan became a Godking, he had obtained this Ancient Ironwood Tree.
The Ancient Ironwood Tree had accompanied Uncle Lan the entire time.
Furthermore, when he chatted with Li Er, Qin Yu had also come to know that Uncle Lan and the Godking of Life Zuo Qiumei had spent countless years under the Ancient Ironwood Tree.
However, at this moment …
Uncle Lan, for the sake of allowing him to obtain the third chosen candidate spot, was actually willing to chop down the Ancient Ironwood Tree?
"Uncle Lan …" Qin Yu's eyes had turned slightly red.
It wasn't that he didn't possess first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. The Fire Origin Spiritual Pearl and the Purple Rain Dress were both first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures! Merely, he was unwilling to part with them. However, Uncle Lan, for the sake of him, was even willing to part with the Ancient Ironwood Tree, an item that contained the memories of his deceased lover!
"What's wrong with you? Don't mind it. This Ancient Ironwood Tree is mine. It could also be considered to be the Jiang Clan's. After you refine a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, you will still have to give it to the Jiang Clan in the end. You can consider it as me giving it to big brother through you. Thus, you do not have to mind it too much. "Uncle Lan said with a smile.
How could Qin Yu not understand? The reason why Uncle Lan said those words was so that Qin Yu would not feel any guilt.
However, the more Uncle Lan said those words, the more uncomfortable Qin Yu felt. Especially when he saw Uncle Lan's smile …
"Uncle Lan, there's no need." Qin Yu took a deep breath.
"Foolish child, no matter what, I will not allow anyone to destroy your marriage with Li Er. You must also obtain the third chosen candidate spot. Enough, stop throwing a tantrum. "Uncle Lan spoke as if he was reprimanding a pampered child.
"No."
Qin Yu shook his head. "I am not throwing a tantrum. Rather, after hearing you mention the Ancient Ironwood Tree, I thought of something. I am already certain that I will be able to obtain the third chosen candidate spot. "
"Oh?" Uncle Lan was a bit surprised. "What is it?"
"Uncle Fu." Qin Yu suddenly shouted. Qin Yu was Uncle Fu's master. Uncle Fu immediately sensed Qin Yu's intention and appeared in the guest room.
Jiang Lan started to guess in his heart. Why did Qin Yu want Uncle Fu to come?
"Uncle Lan, follow me." Qin Yu turned around and said to Uncle Lan. Immediately after, with an intention.
Jiang Lan sensed that the space was being shifted. He possessed the ability to resist it. However, he did not resist it … Sure enough, as he had anticipated, when the surroundings became clear, he had already arrived on the New Cosmos' Purple Mystic Star.
"The thing I spoke of is right here." Qin Yu pointed to a palace on the East Hazy Mountain.
"That is … the Bewitching God Temple?" Jiang Lan said in shock.
"That's right." Qin Yu stepped into the Bewitching God Temple. After passing through the front palace, he directly arrived at the courtyard. Jiang Lan beside him also followed Qin Yu. He also wanted to see exactly what Qin Yu was talking about.
Uncle Fu had been following beside Qin Yu the entire time.
"Uncle Lan, do you know about this tree?" Qin Yu pointed to the thick and solid Red Copper Tree in the courtyard of the Bewitching God Temple.
"This is … the Ancient Red Copper Tree?" Jiang Lan immediately recognized it.
"That's right, this is the Ancient Red Copper Tree. It is also a Divine Tree that is second only to the Ancient Ironwood Tree in the Divine Realm." Qin Yu said with a face filled with confidence.
"Why would there be an Ancient Red Copper Tree here?" Jiang Lan asked in confusion.
"Uncle Fu, you tell me." Jiang Lan looked to Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu bowed respectfully. "Senior Jiang Lan, this Ancient Red Copper Tree is an offensive second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure that the Thunder Godking from back then, the Thunder Punishment City's Sage Emperor, requested the Old Master to craft. As for the Old Master, he requested for this Ancient Red Copper Tree. "
"Oh …" Jiang Lan slightly nodded. "Although the core of this Ancient Red Copper Tree is pretty good, it is still a level lower than the core of the Ancient Ironwood Tree. Even a grandmaster artifact craftsman would likely only be able to craft a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. To use a Divine Wood capable of crafting a second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure in exchange for an offensive second-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. This Zhou Huo's calculations were pretty good. "
Back then, Zhou Huo also had no other choice.
Although he possessed the materials, he still needed skills. Without sufficient crafting skills, the Ancient Red Copper Tree would merely be an ornament.
"Qin Yu, the thing you spoke of is …" Jiang Lan looked to Qin Yu.
"That's right, it's this Ancient Red Copper Tree." Qin Yu waved his sleeve. A blade like spatial crack appeared in the entire space. That blade like spatial crack streaked across the Ancient Red Copper Tree. The Ancient Red Copper Tree was severed from its roots and fell down with a loud bang!
