Chapter 1175: Elder Yuanzhou
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have a good opinion of Shangguan Xianyan, but as a deity, there was no reason for him to say no to a saintly elder.
Besides, Elder Yuanzhou was strong enough to tell whether Zhang Ruochen was really injured or not.
Elder Yuanzhou wasn’t surprised seeing Gu Linfeng sit there without any harm. He said, “Deity has recovered well. You don’t look injured.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up, made a bow with hand folded into a fist and smiled. “I need to trick the others, so I didn’t go outside to greet you, elder.”
Elder Yuanzhou asked, “To trick the others? Why do you need to trick the others?”
Actually, Elder Yuanzhou wanted to know why Gu Linfeng claimed to have been severely injured by others. There must be some secret hidden in Secret Dragon Palace. That Gu Linfeng wasn’t as simple as he appeared to be.
“This is a huge issue. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Shangguan Xianyan was standing beside Elder Yuanzhou the whole time, but Zhang Ruochen didn’t even shoot her a glance, and he didn’t intend for her to sit down.
Elder Yuanzhou sat down across from Zhang Ruochen without a second thought.
Soon, he looked to a saint medicinal pill that was ten thousand years old on the stone table. He asked, “That’s Wind Yinzi, which is at least seventeen thousand years old, and it’s a very rare saint medicinal pill. How did you get it, your highness?”
A Wind Yinzi grew in the wind. It didn’t have roots, and it flowed with the wind. It was very easy for it to die, so it was pretty rare.
It was a miracle that a Wind Yinzi could live for seventeen thousand years.
Zhang Ruochen had obtained the treasury of Blue Dragon Dynasty, so he had obtained lots of divine medications, and one of them was this Wind Yinzi.
“I got it in Blue Dragon Void World.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t continue to explain. He put the Wind Yinzi in his hands, and two balls of flames gushed out of his palms. Very soon, that Wind Yinzi was refined into drops of glittering and translucent divine medicinal liquids and he poured them into a pot.
The fragrance of the pills permeated the entire yard.
The servants in Secret Dragon Palace only inhaled the fragrance of the divine medications, yet it was still greatly rewarding. Some of them even made breakthroughs.
Hua La La!
Zhang Ruochen held the jade pot with divine medicinal liquids in it and poured a cup for Elder Yuanzhou and one for himself too. He raised the cup and said, “I heard that by taking Wind Yinzi, you can comprehend the rules of wind. Besides, monks can also improve themselves to a great extent. Is it real?”
Elder Yuanzhou stared at the divine medicinal liquids, and there was saliva dripping from his mouth.
Divine medications were so precious that even Elder Yuanzhou didn’t dare refine them into divine medicinal liquids.
Elder Yuanzhou indeed planted more than ten divine medications, however, they were all protected by him. He wouldn’t abuse them like this.
“Then I’ll drink it now!”
Elder Yuanzhou held the cup and drank it all. His body started to gleam with holy light, and a pair of giant wind wings emerged from his body.
The one hundred and thirty-five apertures in his body were all opened. Zhang Ruochen drank the divine medicinal liquids, forming one hundred and thirty-five light spots. Each light spot was a small whirlpool.
Peng.
The one hundred and thirty-sixth aperture was opened, and it was immediately sanctified.
Zhang Ruochen was one step closer to sanctifying his body. There were only eight apertures left.
Shangguan Xianyan gasped and thought, Gu Linfeng is very close to sanctifying his entire body. No wonder he’s so powerful.
Shangguan Xianyan regretted it. She shouldn’t have schemed in the meeting of elders yesterday. She had made a great enemy.
After refining the power of Wind Yinzi, Elder Yuanzhou got back to the real business and said, “I came to Secret Dragon Palace this time for two things. One, I hope we can resolve the grudges between you and Xianyan.”
“Xianyan is way too young. She’s indeed made some mistakes. I hope that you can spare her this time.”
Zhang Ruochen looked solemn and said, “Elder Yuanzhou, you should know what kind of danger she has put me through. Saintess knows that Wei Longxing sent people to kill me before, but she pretended that she didn’t know anything, which almost got me killed.”
“That was indeed Xianyan’s fault. I apologize to you on her behalf. Also, I’ve brought you a gift. I hope you can take it.”
Elder Yuanzhou gave Shangguan Xianyan a head nod, and then, she handed a black-ironed box that was two feet long over to Zhang Ruochen. She said, “Your highness, I made a mistake this time. I hope that you can take the gift and forgive me.”
Both Elder Yuanzhou and Shangguan Xianyan had a humble gesture, which was strange to Zhang Ruochen, as he couldn’t figure out what they wanted.
Zhang Ruochen took a look at the black-ironed box. He looked through the black-ironed box and saw the object inside.
It was a thousand-patterns saint weapon that was shaped like a dagger, which was superior to Seven Kill Boxing Glove. It was worth a lot.
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s just a thousand-patterns saint weapon. I can get ten of those. I don’t need that.”
Elder Yuanzhou was infuriated. He thought that Gu Linfeng was too reckless. Did he think of a thousand-patterns saint weapon as worthless?
However, Gu Linfeng could refine the divine medications into divine medicinal liquids, so his reaction to the thousand-patterns saint weapon made sense.
He might actually own a large number of resources.
Actually, Zhang Ruochen did this because he wanted to test Elder Yuanzhou.
If Elder Yuanzhou was a spy from the immortal vampire race, then if he realized that Zhang Ruochen had sanctified one hundred and thirty-six apertures and that he had lots of resources, he would attack him.
Zhang Ruochen contacted Ghost King Bloodmoon, and he confirmed that she could engage in a battle at any time, and that she wasn’t afraid of Elder Yuanzhou.
Elder Yuanzhou said, “If so, then name your price. As long as it’s not too far, I’ll agree with that.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “I’m just curious. With your cultivation and the solid background of Shangguan clan, why would you negotiate with me, someone with no background and no power? Why don’t you just kill me directly?”
Elder Yuanzhou was dazed, as he didn’t expect Gu Linfeng to be this straightforward. He shook his head and smiled. “I know we can’t hide this from you. To tell you the truth, Elder Pavilion has unanimously decided to make you the next hierarch of Blood God Sect. Elder Yuanxing has high hopes for you, and he thinks that you’re the last hope of Blood God Sect.”
“And now that you’re destined to become the next hierarch of Blood God Sect, I need to resolve the grudges between you and Xianyan. After all, when you become the hierarch of Blood God Sect, Xianyan will marry you. It’s better for Shangguan clan to become family with the new hierarch of Blood God Sect than to become enemies.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect that Elder Yuanzhou had this kind of idea.
The deity would become the new hierarch, so he needed to become a saintess. They needed to manage Blood God Sect together.
Marrying Shangguan Xianyan?
It was impossible!
Zhang Ruochen said, “Actuallly, I don’t want to become an enemy of Elder Yuanzhou and Shangguan clan. It’ll be best for us to resolve the conflicts between us.”
Elder Yuanzhou was pleased and said, “You’ve accepted Xianyan’s apologies?”
Zhang Ruoche nodded and said, “Elder Yuanzhou has spoken for you. I need to save you some face. However, I have one condition as well.”
Zhang Ruochen took the black-ironed box from Shangguan Xianyan, staring at her eyes. He said, “I need you to be a servant in Secret Dragon Palace, and you’ll serve me.”
The eyes of Shangguan Xianyan glinted with coldness. She thought that Gu Linfeng was humiliating her.
She was the saintess of an ancient sect, and a proud girl of an ancient clan, who was admired by countless monks. How could she be a cheap servant?
“She made a mistake, so she has to be punished. It’s okay.”
Before asking whether Shangguan Xianyan agreed or not, Elder Yuanzhou agreed Zhang Ruochen’s proposal.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Then put this away and clean it up.”
Shangguan Xianyan didn’t want this at all, but eventually, she endured such humiliation as she didn’t dare go against the will of Zhang Ruochen and Elder Yuanzhou. She nodded and said, “Yes.”
As long as she could wait until Gu Linfeng ascended to the position of the hierarch, she could become the wife of the hierarch. No one would treat her like a low-class servant.
The humiliation she endured was worth it.
Actually, Shangguan Xianyan was definitely an attractive woman. She was elegant and seductive, and her skin was translucent like jade. If she was submissive enough, Zhang Ruochen could spare her life and treat her as a servant.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Elder Yuanzhou, what’s the second thing that made you come here?”
“The second thing is that I plan to live in the Secret Dragon Palace until you reach the state of saint.”
“Is that also a decision made by Elder Pavilion?”
“That’s right.”
Obviously, Elder Yuanzhou lived in Secret Dragon Palace to protect Zhang Ruochen’s safety so that he wouldn’t be assassinated again.
Zhang Ruochen lightly pounded the table with his fingers. After observing it for a while, he decided to tell something about the immortal vampires.
Actually, Elder Yuanzhou would know some secrets sooner or later after he moved into Secret Dragon Palace.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Then I’ll share some real businesses with you!”
Elder Yuanzhou asked, “Is it related to you tricking others?”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, took out a list and put it on the stone table, “Eighty to ninety percent of the members from Blood God Sect on this list are immortal vampires.”
Elder Yuanzhou was very surprised. He skimmed through the list, and in the next moment, his eyes popped with terror. There were fourteen saints on the list.
