The Adventures Of The Young Master
/ The Adventures of the Young Master 192 The Deal
"Phixiu Ring!" Everyone, counting out Jin Rou and Ku Ming, was stumped when they heard this name. They all glued their sights to the shining golden ring present.
Phixiu Ring. This ring was said to be one of the legendary artifacts that could not be seen just anywhere. After all, this item came from the Outer Heaven! It was used to store essence qi. And the stored essence qi could become something that a person could cultivate. This was a great help for people who are already Immortal Emperors! In fact, this was the most useful thing for an Immortal Emperor to advance into another stage. If one was lucky, they could even breakthrough from the Immortal Emperor Realm!
But the use of this was not just that if one was in a grave danger where he or she could no longer think surviving the calamity with his own ability. But the precondition was this ring would be useless for several years. It could only be used again once it's filled with essence qi once again.
"To think that the Ancient Ming Clan has this kind of artifact. Amazing. Your clan really stood up to its name." The Revenant Sectmaster, who was silent all this time, praised.
"But of course, Revenant Sectmaster." Ku Ming smiled confidently, "Although we only have one Immortal Emperor currently, our strength could rival those of sects with two Immortal Emperors."
"Like us?" High Elder Kumi said as if he was provoking Ku Ming.
The other high elders looked at Ku Ming with an expression of dissatisfaction. While the Revenant Sectmaster just silently stared at Ku Ming, as if he was sizing him up.
"Back to the business." Ku Ming could feel that the air had changed around the room so he wanted to seal this business now as soon as possible, "So what does High Elder Kumi think? Isn't the lotus worth exchanging for the Phixiu Ring?"
High Elder Kumi pondered for a moment and said, "For me, I have no problem with it. But what do the other high elders and the Revenant Sectmaster think?"
The three high elders whispered to each other first as if they were having a meeting about what would their decision be. After several moments of waiting, High Elder Kiru, an old man with a bald head, said with a stern expression, "We don't agree to the conditions."
"..." Ku Ming blanked for a moment and looked at High Elder Kiru.
"Since the three high elders did not agree, even I agree, the deal won't still be sealed." The Revenant Sectmaster said, without any hesitation.
"But why?" Finally, Ku Ming recovered from the shock he got and said, "This is the Phixiu Ring we are talking about! Something that came from the Outer Heaven."
"The Thousand-Life Lotus also came from the Outer Heaven, Youngmaster Ku." High Elder Kiru said, "Although the Phixiu Ring is indeed very rare and seems to be a good thing to have, there's a catch with that. And that is the amount of time it needs to be filled with essence qi."
He paused for a moment and said, "It can only be used once every several years, and would be useless most of the time."
"But once you use it, it was also very useful! Those several years of cultivating an essence qi will be worth it. After all, it could make any beings of the Ninth Stage of the Immortal Realm to breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm!" Ku Ming said. He refused to believe that these guys were thinking it was not a good deal at all. After all, this ring was very important in their clan and if it's not because of the First Ming Ancestor's withering vitality, they would never want to exchange this item for a lotus that could only be used once.
"We got your point, Youngmaster Ku." High Elder Kiru said as he knitted his brows, showing his displeasure, "But do take note that compared to our Thousand-Life Lotus that could extend one's lifespan by 1,000 years, the Phixiu Ring, which is very helpful for cultivators, still could not weigh the same with our item."
He crossed his fingers and put it below his chin and smiled, saying, "Of course, if you still have any artifacts in your arsenal that could be exchanged, we are welcoming it."
"This is nuts!" Ku Ming could not help but grit his teeth, "Is the Revenant Heavenly Sect trying to scam us, Ancient Ming Clan?"
"Scam? Hold your high horses, Youngmaster Ku." High Elder Kumi showed a stern expression, "You are in the territory of the Revenant Heavenly Sect. Please be aware of it. And we are not scamming you, if the high elders think that it is not enough, then it is really not enough. If you can't present any items to add the weight, then we could not help it but the deal will be off the table."
"I am the Youngmaster of the Ancient Ming Clan and I have the right to voice out what I want to say even in your territory!" Ku Ming's hot-bloodedness was activated as he was infuriated by those three high elders, "It's more than obvious that the three high elders are making things difficult for me."
"For a brat like you accusing us, high elders, like that. You have pretty big balls there." High Elder Kiru glared at Ku Ming with daggers, "The deal is off. You can go back from whence you came."
"What?!" Ku Ming stood up and raised his voice, "Are you serious? You can't do this to me. I need that lotus very much for the ancestor!"
"Even if you need it that bad, we can't just give it to you if we will be losing some points, Youngmaster Ku." High Elder Kiru was about to snap, however, he held it in and said, "The deal is off. We are no longer interested in trading our Thousand-Life Lotus. Go back."
