Chapter 106: Is It Too Late To Regret?
At the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Sacred Leader’s Palace...
Lightning flashed on the ten huge pillars. The Divine Beasts on the pillars could be vaguely seen as if they were real.
The Sacred Leader sat upright on the throne, covered by lightning and a heavenly mist.
In front of the Sacred Leader Palace stood an old Taoist priest fuming with rage. His face was flushed red.
“Junior Brother, you... you-you-you, you’re too unreasonable! You promised me to give me a Spirit Mountain. I just remembered after I went back, where’s my Spirit Mountain?”
The Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader replied coldly, “Yes, I did promise you. We had agreed that you would use the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant to exchange for 1,500 Spirit Crystals and a Spirit Mountain.”
The old Taoist priest scoffed. “Then, why are you going back on your words now? Ridiculous!”
The Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader calmly replied, “When we made the agreement, Senior Brother did not give me the Drager Pendant. You only gave me the heritage within, so, by default, Senior Brother has rejected that deal.”
The Sacred Leader’s calm words made Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ mouth twitch with anger.
He scoffed, “Well, I still have the Drager Pendant. Can’t we renegotiate the deal?”
After finishing, the old Taoist priest hurriedly took out the Drager Pendant and stared directly at the Sacred Leader.
Lightning and heavenly aura enshrouded the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader, and his voice carried no emotions at all. “This time, I refuse. I have already gained the complete Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique, Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art, and Decalamity inheritance.
“The Divine Firmament Drager Pendant is no longer significant to me. If Senior Brother likes it, then you can just keep it.”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ face went pale before it turned black. “Junior Brother, you’ve become cunning. Didn’t you say previously that the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant is the Sacred Leader’s token?”
The Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader nodded. “However, I think that what Senior Brother said also makes sense. The Divine Firmament Drager Pendant had already been lost for tens of thousands of years, and I’m not the first Sacred Leader without the token.”
The old Taoist priest, “???”
The old Taoist priest took a deep breath and scoffed. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell it?”
The lightning and heavenly aura slightly trembled, but the Sacred Leader’s voice was still calm. “Senior Brother won’t sell it, and no one would dare to buy it.
“1,500 Spirit Crystals in exchange for the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, and at the same time, I’ll allow you to guide Tian’er in Body Tempering. Thus, Senior Brother will also be counted as his teacher. What does Senior Brother think?”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus sneered. “I don’t believe in some Son of Providence! How about this? 2,000 Spirit Crystals to take this pair of unlucky jade pendants away.”
The Sacred Leader nodded, and a storage ring shot of the lightning and heavenly aura. “Deal, I only wish that if Tian’er succeeds in the future, Senior Brother won’t regret.”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus scoffed as he put away the storage ring. “Regret? You must be joking. I repeat, if I regret not taking him as my disciple, I’m a son of a b*tch!”
After saying his piece, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus threw the Drager Pendant to the Sacred Leader, turned, and left.
However, at that moment, a male voice echoed from outside. “Master, your disciple asks for an audience.”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus smiled playfully upon hearing that Shen Tian wished to see the Sacred Leader. “Your disciple has come. Can you guess why he wants an audience? Is it because he is unwilling to be your disciple? Or is it because those kids in the sacred ground refused to accept him as the Saint and stacked the deck against him? Therefore, he feels wronged and wants to find you to do him justice?”
If one took in a disciple, the disciple would definitely cultivate. Once the disciple cultivated, the disciple would definitely cause trouble. Therefore, the best way to avoid trouble was not to take disciples, and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was a great supporter of that rationale.
See, this Shen Tian kid has just joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, and he’s already at his wits’ end. Thus, he is forced to seek his master now. Fortunately, in the beginning, my Junior Brother didn’t manage to fool me and make me take this kid as my disciple. Otherwise, the one being troubled by this kid now would have been me!
The Sacred Leader Palace’s huge doors gradually opened, and Shen Tian, in white clothes, slowly walked inside.
Under the light from the ten Divine Beast pillars’ lightning, Shen Tian’s handsomeness was enhanced.
A golden-haired boy followed behind Shen Tian, and he was none other than Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ son, Qin Yundi. It was worth mentioning that the Qin Yundi was carrying a long black iron rod, and he had a bright smile on his face.
That made Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader and old Taoist priest become curious.
One had to know that ever since Qin Yundi had quarreled with Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, he had become more and more solitary.
Normally, he wouldn’t even come to the Divine Firmament Small World to communicate with other senior or junior brothers. He just researched his Lightning Explosion Talisman.
So why did he suddenly follow Shen Tian to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s Palace today?
Was it possible that this kid had some kind of conflict with Shen Tian?
The old Taoist priest stood at the side with gusto, preparing to watch the fun.
the Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian and asked calmly, “Tian’er, why have you come?”
Shen Tian smiled and pulled Qin Yundi to the Sacred Leader Palace’s center. “I have come for Junior Brother Yundi.”
As he spoke, Shen Tian removed the silver Divine Lightning from Qin Yundi’s waist and the long black rod from his back.
“Reporting to master, Junior Brother Yundi has invented a new type of Lightning Talisman that can benefit all disciples in our sect.”
Qin Yundi hurriedly shook his hand and explained, “I did not invent them. The Saint, Senior Brother Tian, guided me to create these inventions. I am ashamed to be called the inventor. I only spent some time creating the Dharma artifacts that Senior Brother had mentioned.”
Oh?
The Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus could not help but pay attention to them upon hearing what they said.
Qin Yundi, this kid actually says that Shen Tian guided him in improving the Lightning Talisman?
Shen Tian has only trained the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique for a few days, and he is already able to improve the Lightning Talisman?
The Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian and said, “Tian’er, use your new Lightning Talisman to attack me!”
Shen Tian seemed to hesitate, so the Sacred Leader said, “Don’t worry, you won’t be able to injure me.”
Only then did Shen Tian nod and hurled a silver Divine Lightning at the Sacred Leader.
Boom!
The silver Divine Lightning exploded, and Spirit Iron Balls shot in all directions vigorously.
Meanwhile, the person bearing the brunt was the Sacred Leader as he was facing the silver Divine Lightning directly.
However, after the Spirit Iron Balls heavily collided on the surface of the Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura, it was as if they were attracted to it.
The lightning filled the Spirit Iron Balls, and they fell to the ground powerlessly as if they had been drained of energy.
“Quite the power. It could be counted as a supreme-grade among the second-grade Lightning Explosion Talismans. It should be worth 200 Spirit Stones.”
The Sacred Leader nodded, showing approval to this new type of Lightning Talisman.
“How long does it take to create this type of Lightning Explosion Talisman, and how many Spirit Stones are needed to make it?”
From the Sacred Leader’s point of view, as long as the profit was able to reach above 100% for a supreme-grade Lightning Talisman in the same grade, it was not bad since the competition for a share of the talisman market was quite intense. Other sects also had items such as the Li Fire Talisman that were dominating the market.
If the cost needed to make the Lightning Explosion Talisman was 100 Spirit Stones—and they could sell it for 200 Spirit Stones—then it would be counted as a huge profit.
Meanwhile, the cost of materials wasted from failed manufacturing had to be included too. In addition, the cost of Divinity needed and the energy spent to make supreme-grade talismans should be calculated as well.
Frankly speaking, the profit of making talismans to sell was really quite small.
Under the Sacred Leader’s stare, Shen Tian smiled. “The cost is about five Spirit Stones. The method of creating this talisman is extremely simple, and the success rate is also very high. A Foundation Establishment disciple would be able to make tens of it every day.”
When Shen Tian said that, he noticed that the lightning and heavenly aura covering the Sacred Leader started fluctuating vigorously.
At the same time, Heavenly Venerate Azure Lotus, who was originally full of smiles and standing on the side, and his smile stiffened right on the spot!
