The Flood Dragon King and the South Sea's Great Demon Zhang Xian had come uninvited to Ice Glaze's wedding banquet. Furthermore, the host had treated them with great respect, causing all the Great Demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains to feel very confused.
However, they didn't expect Zhang Xian to bring up the matter of exchanging treasures for pills in front of everyone.
To be honest, the treasures from the South Sea rarely entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains. No matter which one it was, they were all extremely valuable. Yet this time, Zhang Xian had taken out four grade seven precious materials in one go just for the sake of 20 medicinal pills, and he was overbearing and determined to obtain them.
These Great Demons knew they couldn't get a word in, but their eyes revealed naked jealousy and envy.
After a while, the fat dog sneered and replied, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhang is willing to pay such a price for pills, how can I refuse? However, four of the Jianmu Fruits are for the Golden Fur Great Demon King. There aren't many left that can be used to refine pills. Thus, I can make the decision to exchange five level 6 pills for one level 7 treasure, but I might not be able to exchange for four. Please forgive me. "
Hearing this, Zhang Xian's expression revealed a trace of surprise. He turned to the Flood Dragon King and privately transmitted his voice. Soon after, the Flood Dragon King also revealed an expression of surprise. His eyes flashed with a trace of light. It was unknown what he was thinking.
The fat dog didn't say much. He slowly filled the wine cup in front of him as if he was waiting for an answer.
A moment later, Zhang Xian's expression sank and he sincerely said, "Since it's like this, I will agree. Please be magnanimous, Demon King Ice Glaze. The South Sea's Sea Tribe will be eternally grateful."
"Good, then this matter is settled. Come, let me toast Fellow Daoist Zhang." The fat dog raised the wine cup in front of him.
Zhang Xian didn't hold back. He picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. This matter was settled.
Shaoqing, who had been silent for a while, asked for the first time, "What are the chances of Qing Tian and Golden Fur Great Demon Kings ascending?"
Once this was said, everyone fell silent. This was the matter that the Devil Race cared about the most. The Myriad Eagle King's ascension to the Demon Realm and the Soul Devouring Rat King's death were public secrets. Although the Great Yao present already had their own thoughts, they didn't dare to directly interrogate the Ice Glass Demon Monarch due to the prestige of the two demon monarchs. Instead, it was the Flood Dragon King who spoke.
Fat Dog did not reply directly. Instead, he stared at the Jiao Dragon King for a while before pursing his lips and saying, "We're only talking about romance today. There's no need to talk about these things."
Although they intentionally avoided the topic, everyone present remained silent, as if they wanted to know more about this matter. After all, this might be related to something that everyone might face in the future.
For a moment, there was an awkward silence. The Jiao Dragon King seemed to be unwilling to let go of this matter and insisted on continuing the conversation.
Suddenly, a voice came from above the hall, "Why are you making things difficult for the juniors? Bingli, bring them to the back hall to see me."
The atmosphere relaxed. Many of the insiders present recognized the identity of the person who spoke. Their expressions turned solemn as they looked at the Jiao Dragon King with burning gazes.
Many Great Yao who didn't know the inside story began to privately transmit messages to ask about the person's identity. Fat Dog glanced at them and ordered indifferently, "You guys treat the guests well. Allow me to lead these two overseas Daoists to see the noble."
With that said, he stood up and pointed to the back hall, "Please follow me." With that, he walked straight to the back hall.
The Jiao Dragon King signaled Zhang Xian with his eyes before hurriedly following after him. A moment later, the three of them arrived at the side hall outside the Sky Pillar Demon Monarch's residence. They saw three people sitting at a round stone table. They were the Sky Pillar Demon Monarch, the Golden Fur King, and Yi Tian.
Seeing this, the Jiao Dragon King hurriedly walked up and bowed to the three of them, "Greetings to the three of you. I'm sorry for disturbing you by coming uninvited."
The three of them were all experienced in the ways of the world. They didn't need to guess the purpose of his visit. Zhang Xian probably had similar thoughts.
As such, after the three of them returned the greetings, they gestured for them to sit down and have a chat. The matter was of great importance. The Jiao Dragon King must have made sufficient preparations before coming here. He wouldn't give up so easily.
After the six of them sat down, the Jiao Dragon King first congratulated the Sky Pillar Demon Monarch and the Golden Fur King, "Fellow Daoists, you have finally ascended after a thousand years of preparation. I'm so envious of you."
"Why do you say that, Jiao Dragon King? As the patriarch of the East Sea's Jiao Dragon race, your strength is unparalleled in the world. Ascending shouldn't be a big deal, right?" quipped the Sky Pillar Demon Monarch.
The Jiao Dragon King's expression changed as he replied in a deep voice, "I would need to use the Middle State's Li Fire Sect's Ascension Platform to open up a passageway to the Fey world. I would be eternally grateful if Sect Master Yi could help me on this matter."
Half of his words were directed at the Sky Pillar Demon Monarch, while the other half was directed at Yi Tian. Later, without waiting for a reply, Zhang Xian hurriedly came forward and said, "Sect Master Yi, I also know that you were the one who personally refined the pills years ago. That scene is still fresh in my mind. I would like to trouble Sect Master Yi to refine the seventh grade Calamity Surmounting Pill and activate the Ascension Platform. I will not be stingy. As long as Sect Master Yi asks, I will definitely do my best to teach you. "
With that said, Yi Tian knew that the two of them had made up their minds on ascending. However, the use of the Ascension Platform was not something that could be decided by him. Furthermore, it involved the interests of various parties.
After a while, Yi Tian gestured for Zhang Xian to calm down. Then, he said, "Both of you have to think carefully. I believe both of you know about the ascension of the Myriad Eagle King and the Soul Devouring Rat King, right?"
Upon saying that, the Jiao Dragon King nodded slightly and replied, "I also know about the ten percent success and failure. Three thousand years ago, my cultivation level reached the peak of the seventh grade. Unfortunately, due to the lack of spiritual energy in the Tianlan continent, I was unable to advance any further. After that, I was unable to advance any further. Instead of sitting back and watching my lifespan drain away, I might as well take a gamble while I'm still in good condition. "
"Then, does Fellow Daoist Zhang share the same thoughts?" Yi Tian turned his head and asked again.
When Zhang Xian heard that, he sighed and replied, "I'm in a similar state as the Jiao Dragon King. Unfortunately, I feel helpless seeing my thousand years of cultivation trapped in this world without being able to transcend. A hundred years ago, I heard that the Middle State Ascension Platform was being rebuilt. After that, the Myriad Eagle King and the Soul Devouring Rat King attempted to use it. Although there was a ten percent failure, I naturally have my own thoughts. "
Upon saying that, Yi Tian naturally understood the determination of the two in front of him. After some thought, he said, "Fellow Daoists, I understand your intentions. However, the Middle State Ascension Platform was not built by my Li Fire Sect alone. Various large sects have contributed funds to it. Furthermore, they have to be notified when it's being used. There is a limit to the number of spots, so if the two of you want to jump the queue, you will have to spend a lot of money to bribe these sects. "
It was clear that the matter was going to cost them a lot. The Jiao Dragon King did not even think before replying, "As long as Brother Yi is willing to help, I believe this matter will not be difficult. As for the remuneration, feel free to state it. Among the world's wealth factions, my Jiao clan is definitely second to none."
