God Emperor Chapter 2346 - A Trade

Chapter 2346 A Trade

Two bright red Blood Qi streaks flowed around the Treant’s arms. They reflected a network of ley lines that looked like human bloodstream inside the arms.

Ten long, slender fingers hung on the thighs. They moved rhythmically as if they were strumming the strings of a zither.

FUH!

The gentle sound of breathing rang in Zhang Ruochen’s ears, bringing with it a fragrant wind.

The tree-like hair swayed gently, shaking the heaven and earth s.p.a.ce. It made the hollow underground world and even the entire planet tremble.

“We can’t go any further,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen held his breath and carefully stepped back.

This Treant was no different than any other living being. It had blood and was alive. Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation would not be enough to land a hit on her if she was awakened.

When they returned to the bottom of the stone steps, Zhang Ruochen was still calm, but his back was wet with sweat.

Lord Bladeh.e.l.l and Lady Wind weren’t much better than him. They restrained their Qi with all their strength and didn’t move, as if they had become two stone statues.

When the Blood Qi on the Treant was restrained and the hollow world returned to peace, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go back to the surface,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen and the other two entered the Violet Gourd again without saying anything else.

Riding the gourd, they swam upstream toward the surface.

On the way back to the surface, Zhang Ruochen captured three b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds.

The Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires were still waiting in the governor’s mansion. Seeing that the three of them had returned safe and sound, they all went forward to ask about what had happened in the underground.

Lady Wind’s aura was n.o.ble. She said coldly and arrogantly, “We can already confirm that the ones who entered the underground river and sucked away your blood are the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed.

“Although the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed is dangerous, it is also a treasure that can strengthen the Blood Qi and Saint Soul. Refining one is equivalent to decades of hard cultivation. It will bring unimaginable benefits to your cultivation in the future.”

BOOM!

All of the Supreme Saints were ecstatic in the governor’s mansion, and their eyes shone with fervent light.

Every increase in strength meant an increase in compet.i.tiveness on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

If refining one required decades of bitter cultivation, how terrifying would the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed be to cultivators Blood Qi and Saint Soul?

Perhaps, it would bring endless benefits to the cultivation of the Thousand-Koan Realm and the Bans.h.i.+ Isshou Realm.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s attack together and hunt down the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed.” said one of the Supreme Saints.

Some of the Supreme Saints could not wait any longer and were prepared to go underground.

Lord Bladeh.e.l.l snorted coldly, “Although the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed is good, it’s not something you can capture. Even with the cultivation of the Supreme Saint Ruochen, he was almost at a disadvantage. If you want to go underground, you’d better think twice before you risk your lives.”

The Supreme Saints who had gone underground were all fearful. They agreed with Lord Bladeh.e.l.l’s words.

Lord Bladeh.e.l.l added, “Everyone, you should be more rational. If you’re not powerful enough, you’ll definitely die.”

“Sigh! I’ve just broken through to the Supreme Saint Realm not too long ago, and my cultivation isn’t stable yet. It seems like I’ll miss the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed.” said one of the Supreme Saints.

“Not everyone can get lucky. We should be more level-headed. If we get lucky, we’ll be lucky. If we lose, we’ll lose.” said another Supreme Saint.

All the Supreme Saints shook their heads with bitter smiles.

Even though they were unwilling, they thought, if we don’t even have our lives, why do we still need the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed? All of a sudden, the thoughts in their hearts disappeared, leaving only endless disappointment.

Zhang Ruochen saw all this and raised his voice. He said, “I’ve said before that I’ll lead everyone to take first place among the ten clans for the Immortal Vampires. Naturally, I’ll put improving the Immortal Vampires’ overall strength first.

“I have a way to capture the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed. Everyone has a chance to refine and absorb it.”

All the Supreme Saints’ gloomy eyes brightened in an instant. They stared at Zhang Ruochen in disbelief.

Many people doubted whether his words were true or false?

They had no doubts that Zhang Ruochen would be able to capture the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed. They had a feeling Zhang Ruochen wasn’t going to give them the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed to refine and absorb.

Everyone knew that capturing the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed was dangerous.

Why would Zhang Ruochen take such a risk?

Just because he wanted to increase the overall strength of the Immortal Vampires and lead everyone to win first place among the ten clans?

This…

How could there be such a selfless person in the world? Only a fool would do such a stupid thing.

Zhang Ruochen took out the three b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds and imprisoned them in the Profound Spatial Dimension.

The three b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds each took the form of three strange beasts. Their bodies shone with crimson light.

Lord Xia Yu used her spiritual power to a.n.a.lyze the three b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds and felt a huge amount of Blood Qi. She sent a voice transmission to Zhang Ruochen. “Are you crazy? You’re giving the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds to all the Immortal Vampires? They may listen to you now, but it’s not certain whether you’re friends or enemies after leaving the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting!”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t respond to Lord Xia Yu. He turned to all the Supreme Saints and said, “I’m not giving you the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed for free. I’ll take a certain amount of G.o.dstones. If you’re willing to buy it, you can find Xue Ningxiao and register with her.”

“But we don’t have any G.o.dstones.” some of the Supreme Saints sounded.

All the Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints were anxious and helpless.

“Just acknowledge your debt to me. I’m not afraid of you going back on your word, right, Xue Tu?” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen looked at Xue Tu, who had just returned to his home planet. However, when he saw Xue Tu’s appearance, he frowned deeply.

After Xue Tu came to the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, he left his home planet and claimed that he was going to hunt Celestial Captives.

However, his points were pitifully low these days. On the contrary, he had several more Regal Artifacts on him.

He wore leopard-print golden light armor. He held a sword in his left hand and a blade in his right. There was a string of bone beads around his neck, a chain around his waist, and a defensive white jade crown on his head. He looked nondescript, but the Supreme Saints around him were all envious.

Xue Tu had clearly robbed many Supreme Saints in a surprise attack. That’s why he had such a bountiful harvest.

Zhang Ruochen did not know that he was the one who had stimulated Xue Tu. He had also made Xue Tu realize that robbing others was the fastest way to get rich.

That was why Xue Tu had always thought that the Battle of Celestial-Hunting was a great opportunity for him to make a fortune.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen staring at him, Xue Tu put away his happy smile and snorted. “If anyone dares to deny my senior brother’s debt, I, Xue Tu, will be the first to refuse.”

As he said this, Xue Tu cursed in his heart. ‘I knew it. He wants to make a fortune again. It should be easy to capture the b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds. The reason why they made it sound so dangerous was most likely Zhang Ruochen’s way of making money. I’m not buying from Zhang Ruochen. I’ll catch them myself.’

While Xue Tu was thinking, Zhang Ruochen gave the three b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds to Lord Xia Yu, Gu Chenzi, and Lord Bladeh.e.l.l.

“Come here.”

Zhang Ruochen waved at Xue Tu and called him to the side. Zhang Ruochen looked at the various Regal Artifacts on Xue Tu and patted his shoulder. Zhang Ruochen said, “You’re right. Indeed, no cultivator can blame me. You’ve robbed many Supreme Saints, right? How many Regal Artifacts do you have?”

Xue Tu had a bad feeling. Instinctively, he wanted to retreat.

However, Zhang Ruochen’s hand on his shoulder pressed him down.

“Six!” Xue Tu cried.

“Don’t lie to me,” Zhang Ruochen said. “My spiritual power has reached the 65th level.”

Xue Tu was filled with hatred and resentment, he thought indignantly, ‘How long has it been since he broke through to the spiritual power Supreme Saint? He’s already reached the 65th level. Is he still human? He was torturing me not only physically, but also mentally.’

In the end, Xue Tu chose to accept his fate and said, “Including my own weapons, there are nine in total. No more, really no more!”

Zhang Ruochen spread his hand and signaled him with his eyes.

Xue Tu appeared disheartened. He removed the Regal Artifacts one by one, mechanically and numbly, and handed them to Zhang Ruochen.

Xue Tu really wanted to slap himself. Why did he want to show off?

Why did he expose these Regal Artifacts to Zhang Ruochen?

He had learned his lesson!

He was still young. He had to be careful in the future.

Zhang Ruochen put away the eight Regal Artifacts that Xue Tu had handed him. He waved his hand, “Go. There are still many Regal Artifacts on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. You must seize the opportunity. After we leave the battlefield, it won’t be so easy to get rich again!”

Walking out of the governor’s mansion, Xue Tu looked back at the towering door. He gnashed his teeth and stomped his feet. “Just wait and see,” he said. “I’ll be more cautious next time. I won’t let you take what belongs to me again.”

In the next few days, Zhang Ruochen spent a lot of time capturing more than 100 b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseeds.

Not every Supreme Saint could refine a b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed. In fact, most of the Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saints could refine one at a time.

Lord Bladeh.e.l.l had once visited Yue Tinghai. He had no idea what Yue Tinghai had said to him. Yue Tinghai admitted his mistake and apologized to Zhang Ruochen and the b.l.o.o.d.ysky Continent’s Immortal Vampires. He was eager to make amends.

All of this was within Zhang Ruochen’s expectations.

Whether Yue Tinghai was submissive or suffering humiliation, now was the time for extra hands, so Zhang Ruochen didn’t make things difficult for him.

On a tower in the governor’s mansion, Zhang Ruochen leaned against the railing and looked into the distance. He thought about the ancient sarcophagus and the Treant underground

Right now, fighting for the first place of the ten clans is the most important thing. I can’t take too much risk. But when everything is set, I must go again. There must be something amazing in the sarcophagus.

Next, I should get the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill first.’

Zhang Ruochen’s palms erupted with Time Precepts, which condensed into Self-Defined Mark of Time light spots. He closed his eyes and focused intently.

Although Que had taken the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, he was chased by Yan Huangtu and Lan Ying. He shouldn’t have a chance to refine it in a short time.

However, after entering the Dark Star, Zhang Ruochen began to feel uneasy.

After all, the time ratio inside the Dark Star was different from the outside world.

Que had a part of Zhang Ruochen’s Self-Defined Mark of Time on him. No matter how far he ran, Zhang Ruochen could find his position accurately.

Whoosh

A fragrant wind blew into the tower.

Lady Wind, wearing a blood-red robe, appeared beside Zhang Ruochen. She wasn’t wearing a gold silk mask. Her face was exquisite, and her skin was as white as snow. She was as beautiful as a painting.

“You can buy a b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed with at least 200 G.o.dstones. Supreme Saint Ruochen, you’re letting them off too easily.” Lady Wind’s voice was very pleasant and unforgettable.

Zhang Ruochen removed the Self-Defined Mark of Time from his hand and said, “Lady Wind was born from a prestigious family. You’re talented and are an outstanding disciple of the Fane of Destiny. Of course, you wouldn’t lack G.o.dstones.”

“But for most Supreme Saints in the Neverwilt Realm, 100 G.o.dstones are all they have.”

Lady Wind’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, revealing her pearly teeth, she smiled and said, “I never believed that Supreme Saint Ruochen truly wanted to join the Immortal Vampires. Now that I see you are thinking of them and fighting for better results for the Immortal Vampires, I have no doubt.”

“Tell me, why are you here?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Lady Wind said, “Supreme Saint Ruochen should have guessed it already. Why do you pretend like you don’t know?”

“If you want to buy a b.l.o.o.d.y Shadowseed, you can look for Xue Ningxiao,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Lady Wind said, “I want to buy a Saint b.l.o.o.d.y Shadow. She doesn’t have one. The Supreme Saint Ruochen must have one, right?”

me

“I’m not lying to you. Saint b.l.o.o.d.y Shadows are extremely dangerous. I only caught two in total. The Saint b.l.o.o.d.y Shadow could not only improve a cultivator’s Blood Qi and Saint Soul, but also the spiritual power of the cultivator. Lady Wind should know that it’s not worth it to sell something of this level on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Lady Wind said, “I’ll give you 10,000 G.o.dstones.”

Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked directly into her starry eyes, “10,000 G.o.dstones is not a small amount, but it’s not enough to move me. If you can give yourself to me, I can consider it.”

The two looked at each other as if they wanted to see through each other’s hearts.

After a long while, Lady Wind smiled. “Supreme Saint, how can you be so forgetful? Have you forgotten what I said?”

“I don’t want to make empty promises. We are all Supreme Saints. There’s no need to play such tricks. It’s better to be realistic,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Many expressions flashed through Lady Wind’s eyes. She thought to herself, ‘Zhang Ruochen is really a womanizer. He wants to make me his woman now.’

Lady Wind didn’t think that being a womanizer was a mistake. After all, how could there only be one woman for a strong man like him?

Zhang Ruochen had cultivated the Grade Two Saintwill and defeated Wujiang. He was destined to be the champion of this era. His future potential was limitless. However, if Lady Wind followed him now, it meant that she was betting all her chips on him.

What if he lost?

Zhang Ruochen watched Lady Wind’s expression change, he laughed. “Don’t think about anything else. I want you to give yourself to me. I don’t want you to become my woman right now. I want you to come with me and help me get the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.”

Lady Wind felt that Zhang Ruochen was teasing her to test her bottom line.

Lady Wind said, “The Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill was taken by Que. We don’t know his location yet. How can we take it back from him?

“Besides, Que’s cultivation is unfathomable. Even if we work together, we might not be his match.”

Zhang Ruochen looked up at the sky and said, “Of course, I can find him. No matter how strong he is, he is only one person. How can he be stronger than the entire Immortal Vampires?”
