Chapter 1031: Chapter 64: Four Divine Artifacts! Is Long Xiao Dead or Alive?! (15,000 Words) (Part 8)
It is in a sealed state, otherwise even Yin Xiu wouldn’t be unable to see it.
If he could see it, it’s absolutely impossible to take it out for exchange.
"It’s still a bit dangerous for me to go to the Central Dragon Court now, after all, the First-class ones are there."
"Let’s see what we can get from Dragon King Yin Xiu first."
"Even if I speak to Ji Si about sending someone for escort, it will take some time."
"Otherwise, it’s too abnormal to find clues just after obtaining it."
Zhao Xing put the Dragon Court Code aside and turned to study the Shennong Hoe.
"Kunyuan Divine Hoe, this Earth God Artifact, is really a good thing."
As soon as he picked up the Shennong Hoe, he entered a mysterious state, where all the Geographical Advantage Skills reached top-level perfection.
"With it, in the future when fighting the Southern Barbarians, I can rely on it to open an ancient path directly to the foot of the Southern Barbarian Sacred Mountain!"
"Using it to open the Ancient Earth Tunnel, there’s no need to consider the terrain at all."
During the Jing Emperor Period, the war against the Southern Barbarians didn’t include the construction of the Ancient Earth Tunnel. Was it because he didn’t want to build it? No, it was too difficult and costly, absolutely not worthwhile.
But having the Shennong Hoe is different; the effect of this unparalleled treasure can give the Great Zhou an additional battlefield.
"Hehe, the Great Zhou’s version of the Babok Worm, face it if you dare."
"Even fighting the Flame Light Royal Court, I am not afraid."
"Dare to come? One hoe strike to death."
Mr. Zhao couldn’t forget about the Flame Light Royal Court, but now with the Shennong Hoe, it belongs to Reverse Heavenly Gang.
The ones who should be troubled are the Southern Barbarians, not him!
...
Time flies, and soon it is ten days later.
As Zhao Xing, King Shenluo, and Ye Yuxong continue to excavate treasure, the wealth they accumulate increases.
King Shenluo and Ye Yuxong both grinned widely.
"Unbelievable, in just ten days, we dug out treasures worth 200 million. This is simply..."
"Awesome!" Ye Yuxong chimed in.
"Thanks to Brother Zhao." King Shenluo remarked, "If it weren’t for Brother Zhao, we wouldn’t have such opportunities."
"Indeed." Ye Yuxong nodded.
"It’s about time, there’s no need to keep digging." Zhao Xing said. "As time passes, people from other forces are increasing."
"The difficulty of digging into others’ vaults is also increasing, as nearly everything is being taken or guarded."
"Moreover, the longer we drag it out, the higher the threshold for exchange becomes, you two should also try your luck in the lower vaults."
"Yes, it’s about time." King Shenluo said:
"Those sect forces and Southern Barbarian forces arriving, they can’t wait to devour us."
"Hahaha." Ye Yuxong recalled this and couldn’t help but laugh, "At first, some people didn’t even know what was happening, but a few times we dug right in front of them."
"Especially that character from the Great Snake Country, called Fengxiu Jun, supposedly the Crown Prince of the Great Snake Country, his face was green with anger, but could only watch us dig."
"Hahahaha." King Shenluo also laughed.
It’s undeniable that serving as Zhao Xing’s guards was worth it.
Besides making fortunes, it was incredibly satisfying.
Even killing didn’t feel this good.
"Alright, the treasure hunting operation is taking a pause. You both should go find Mr. Ji and apply for an exchange." Zhao Xing said.
He won’t be going, but those two could still go.
Strengthening these two is also a good thing.
"Alright, let’s go."
...
Zhao Xing, King Shenluo, and Ye Yuxong found Ji Si to get the details.
"The threshold for offerings to Dragon King Xiu is getting higher and higher." Ji Si said, "Nowadays, the threshold has doubled, requiring sixty million for a chance at blind selection."
"What? Sixty million?!" Ye Yuxong and King Shenluo were both shocked. "Wasn’t it said that twenty million in offerings could get a shot?"
The total value of the treasure trove they requisitioned is around two hundred million.
Among them, Zhao Xing took one hundred and twenty million, and Ye Yuxong and King Shenluo together took eighty million.
That means, together, they only have enough for one exchange.
But there is no other way, as Ji Si, after coming, gathered a large number of people, fully relying on quantity for advantage. Also, as a Fate Officer, his win rate was frighteningly high.
Dragon King Yin Xiu had no choice but to raise the standards for offerings in exchange.
"Aside from me exchanging a few ninth-rank heavy weapons, the rest exchanged at a loss, yet overall it was a small profit." Ji Si said. "However, if everyone profits, Dragon King Yin Xiu would go bankrupt in less than a year. It’s reasonable for him to raise the standards."
"This matter probably won’t be concealed for long, I am also expediting resource relocation."
"Trying to go as many times as possible before the situation is exposed."
"Once exposed, it won’t just be the forces of the Human Clan, even the lord-levels in the Gu Ting Kingdom will probably swarm over."
Ye Yuxong and King Shenluo could only smile wryly.
"Sir, is your high win rate because of the ancient coins?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Indeed." Ji Si smiled: "This is the advantage of being a Fate Officer, the Dragon King lived in ancient times and has never seen such ancient coins, so I always end up selecting ninth-rank."
This was also Zhao Xing’s reminder since he used the coins as a reason to choose a divine artifact.
"However, Yin Xiu couldn’t take it, I selected ten ninth-rank treasures, and he banned me from going further."
Zhao Xing, King Shenluo, and Ye Yuxong couldn’t help but laugh.
It’s no wonder he couldn’t play fairly; with each round winning the circle, who could compete with that?
"Shenluo, Mingyue, and Zhao Xing, with your current funds, you probably only have one opportunity."
"The court’s resources are also tight, and currently, there are ten First-grade ones in the Royal Capital."
"I can’t allocate the resources for you to go in, you must understand that." Ji Si said.
Bright Moon Prefecture Master and King Shenluo nodded.
Resources are limited, so they are prioritized for First-class strong people or Fate Officers to try their luck.
