Chapter 475: Overboard (1)
Lou Guangzhi’s words could be said to be both hard and soft. On the one hand, he meant that he would definitely give Mount Scorpio sufficient benefits. On the other hand, he was telling Mount Scorpio that Zhu Wuyan was a meritorious person of the Thousand Poisons Sect, and Mount Scorpio had also received Zhu Wuyan’s grace.
If Mount Scorpio refused, it would definitely affect their reputation.
Moreover, with Lou Guangzhi’s status as the Nine Dragon Mountain Master, he was able to take the initiative to plead with Mount Scorpio. In addition, everyone was from the Thousand Poisons Sect after all. As long as Mount Scorpio was a little sensible, they would not neglect their duties for personal reasons.
Many onlookers thought the same. They all looked at Zhang Shu of Mount Scorpio, waiting for his response.
“The favor of Nine Dragon Mountain is indeed very precious, but I still have to go back and confirm this matter. I have to see if that Ten Thousand Year Thick Earth Grass has been used by anyone.” Faced with Lou Guangzhi’s question and the gazes of countless onlookers, Zhang Shu only pondered for a moment before saying such an ambiguous sentence.
Or rather, he had indirectly rejected her!
He didn’t give Lou Guangzhi any face and didn’t care if this would destroy an overwhelming prodigy like Zhu Wuwan.
Lou Guangzhi’s expression sank, and the surrounding people also started to clamor.
Taking a deep breath, Lou Guangzhi said solemnly,” Mountain Lord Zhang, I know that the matter of the Endless Snake Marsh has made everyone unhappy. If our Nine Dragon Mountain is willing to hand over the Endless Snake Marsh to the Scorpio Mountain, I wonder if the Scorpio Mountain will be able to sell the Ten Thousand Year Thick Earth Grass to us? ”
“Boom…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding millions of miles were in an uproar. Countless cultivators widened their eyes and looked at Lou Guangzhi in shock. They never thought that Lou Guangzhi would be so generous to be willing to exchange the endless Snake Marsh for a 10,000-year-old Thick Earth Grass.
The Endless Snake Marsh was one of the most profitable places in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect in recent years. The net profit they earned every year was more than tens of billions of low-grade spirit stones, and they could provide so much profit endlessly.
Although the Ten Thousand Year Thick Earth Grass was rare, its market price was only about a few hundred billion low-grade spirit stones. It was just that there was a price but no market. Compared to the long-term income that the Endless Snake Marsh could bring, a Ten Thousand Year Thick Earth Grass was nothing.
Lou Guangzhi’s offer could no longer be described as generous. It was simply extremely domineering.
Even if it was the opposing Medicine God Sect and Sacred Flame Sect, they might agree to this price after hearing it, not to mention that Mount Scorpio was one of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. If they still refused under such circumstances, they would be worse than their enemies.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Zhang Shu of Mount Scorpio. Even the surrounding ancient giants looked over, waiting for Zhang Shu’s answer.
Zhang Shu also sucked in a breath of cold air in his stomach. He did not expect Lou Guangzhi to actually make such a decision. That was the Endless Snake Marsh, a good place that could be said to be a treasure bowl. Was this Lou Guangzhi willing to part with it?
If it were any other mountain range, they would have immediately agreed to Lou Guangzhi’s offer.
However, when he thought about Zhu Wuan’s talent, aptitude, and combat strength, there was still the legacy competition that was about to begin in a few decades. If he stabilized his cultivation foundation, Zhu Wuan’s overall strength would completely increase to the perfected Soul Formation realm.
In addition to the immortal techniques and magic treasures in other aspects, there might not be a need to wait until the next competition. This legacy competition, Zhu Wuyan, would be able to bring quite a bit of trouble to Scorpio Mountain. It was very likely to affect Scorpio Mountain’s plan to seize Nine Dragon Mountain.
Compared to the headquarters of Nine Dragon Mountain, the Endless Snake Marsh was nothing.
Therefore, after a moment of consideration, Zhang Shu made a decision.”Hehe, I’m sorry. I’ve just contacted the legacy elder in charge of the natural treasures in the mountain. The 10,000-year-old Thick Earth Grass has already been taken by a legacy elder. It happens to be used to stabilize the foundation of cultivation.”
The entire place was silent, and no one spoke.
A moment later, Lou Guangzhi, whose face was ashen, turned around and left. Even the dumbest person could hear the perfunctory meaning in Zhang Shu’s words. There was no sincerity at all.
There were so many ancient titans in the surroundings who weren’t blind. Could it be that they couldn’t sense whether Lou Guangzhi had secretly sent a message or not?
Cai Chaoan looked deeply at Zhang Shu but did not say anything. He waved his right hand and left with Zhu Wuyang.
After a moment of silence, the huge Demonic Sense Tower became noisy as the higher-ups of Mount Scorpio left.
” Sky Scorpion Mountain is really ruthless. They are a sect after all. Nine Dragon Mountain has paid such a huge price, but they are still unwilling to sell the Ten Thousand Year Thick Earth Grass. If it were any other mountain range, as long as Nine Dragon Mountain is willing to pay a normal price, the other party would agree. ”
” Scorpio Mountain has a feud with Nine Dragon Mountain, and they even set their eyes on the headquarters of Nine Dragon Mountain. In order to eliminate all the hidden dangers and unsettling factors, it’s understandable that Scorpio Mountain is doing this. It’s just that it’s a little too mean and petty. ”
“You’re right. I remember that a legacy elder of Mount Scorpio was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He begged Hall Master Cai Chao’an of Nine Dragon Mountain. Even though he knew that Mount Scorpio often suppressed Nine Dragon Mountain, Hall Master Cai Chao’an still treated that legacy elder of Mount Scorpio. In the end, after that legacy elder recovered, he still made things difficult for Nine Dragon Mountain and even became worse. Compared to Nine Dragon Mountain, Scorpio Mountain can’t be described as petty. It’s simply repaying kindness with ingratitude.”
“That’s right. The value of a legacy elder far surpasses that of a legacy crown prince. The two cannot be mentioned in the same breath. A legacy crown prince can only become a legacy elder, but a legacy elder is already an ancient giant. Scorpio Mountain is too much.”
..
Even many of the ancient titans of the other mountain ranges couldn’t help but laugh at Mount Scorpio when they left. Many of the ancient titans knew very well whether or not the Ten Thousand Year Thick Earth Grass had been used.
This kind of blatant nonsense was really not something a Mountain Chieftain level big shot should do. Was the Scorpio Mountain not afraid that one day, another legacy elder of their sect would be seriously injured and on the verge of death and need to seek help from Nine Dragon Mountain’s Cai Chaoan?
After all, they were disciples of the same sect. Even if there were any conflicts, they were internal conflicts. Facing such a major event that concerned the future of their disciples, Nine Dragon Mountain had paid such a price. Scorpio Mountain really should not refuse.
Even if Zhu Wanhao could pose a threat to Scorpio Mountain when he recovered, Scorpio Mountain had so many Successor Crown Princes, and their development speed over the years was far faster than that of Nine Dragon Mountain. Could it be that they still did not have the confidence and confidence to deal with Zhu Wanhao?
The majestic Scorpio Mountain Range was really a little narrow-minded.
Zhu Wuan followed behind Cai Chaoan obediently and rushed towards Dragon Flame Grotto. On the way, he thanked Mountain Chieftain Lou Guangzhi.
After returning to the study room in Dragon Flame Grotto, Cai Chaoan turned around and looked at Zhu Wuwan. He did not even blink as he carefully sized up Zhu Wuwan’s body. He could feel the aura on his body, causing Zhu Wuwan to feel a chill. There was a strange feeling.
