Chapter 287: Chapter 233 I Have Made Contributions to the Family
Two breaths later, the divine light at the bottom of his eyes receded, and Zhao Sheng pointed to the crowd below without any courtesy, saying, “This one, and that one. Call them too, just to make up ten people.”
Zhao Xuanjing followed his gaze and saw the two people Zhao Sheng was pointing at: one was a middle-aged, black and chubby man bowing and nodding with a servile smile, and the other was a young man with red lips and white teeth, exceptionally handso.
The two were very inconspicuous.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuanjing couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What use do you have for these two? That black fatty will never be able to establish his foundation in this lifeti, and the younger one is only at the Qi Refining Middle Stage. Could it really be just to make up the numbers?”
Zhao Sheng cracked a smile and mysteriously said, “Don’t just look at their ordinary appearances, but they are lucky fellows, bound to encounter great opportunities in the future.”
“How can you tell that these two are lucky?”
...
“Among the more than two hundred people present, if they can be spotted by in a single glance, isn’t that great luck?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing couldn’t help but laugh and curse, “You little brat, all you do is spout nonsense at . Be serious, if you handle this matter well, I’ll reward you with a Foundation Establishnt Pill.”
“Just one? The ancestor is being too stingy. The second ancestor has just rewarded with a Purple Sun Fire. Now that is what you call generous,” Zhao Sheng teased disdainfully.
The second ancestor he ntioned was Zhao Tongxian.
Among the three Golden Cores of the Zhao family, Zhao Xuanjing was undoubtedly the great ancestor, while Zhao Dingguang was the third ancestor.
After hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes shone with sharpness and he asked, “Tongxian actually gave you a piece of Spiritual Fire. It seems you are quite capable, young man! Tell , how far have you progressed in alchemy? Have you beco a First-rank Alchemist yet?”
Zhao Sheng spoke lightly, “A re First-rank Alchemist, not worth ntioning. A while ago, I happened to concoct a new type of Spirit Pill, which I nad Boiling Blood Pill. The second ancestor was so pleased that he rewarded with the Purple Sun Fire.”
Zhao Xuanjing was taken aback, then spoke with profound aning, “These past few years, I have heard that you have ‘coincidentally’ had several successes. The most recent one seems to be a ‘coincidental’ creation of a Divine Eye Talisman. I’ve heard they are selling extrely well, with demand exceeding supply. You must be making a fortune. This Boiling Blood Pill seems to be quite useful too. No wonder you look down on a re Foundation Establishnt Pill. Or should I take it back?”
Zhao Sheng, sensing the implication in the ancestor’s words, hurriedly begged for rcy, playing the pitiful card.
“No way, Ancestor, your words carry weight. Once you’ve granted the Foundation Establishnt Pill, there’s no taking it back. Besides, you know my situation. Despite my Spirit Talismans selling like hot cakes, I… I am poor! So poor I can barely afford to eat.
Ancestor, you are wealthy, with thighs thicker than my waist. How about you ‘sponsor’ a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones? After I advance to Golden Core, I can pay you back double.”
“Tch, what a sly little monkey you are. By the ti you ascend to Golden Core, my bones might already be drumsticks,” Zhao Xuanjing raised his hand, pretending to strike.
Zhao Sheng quickly dodged a good distance away and then said with an air of indifference, “Ancestor Jing, you shouldn’t keep even your own family in the dark. You are the renowned Dragon Slayer Master of the Southern Border. Those unaware of the truth think the na cos from the sixth-rank Croc Dragon you tad three hundred years ago.
But what is the truth?”
At this point, Zhao Sheng laughed gleefully, confident as he proclaid loudly, “The Dragon Worm has a king, called the Mountain Dragon, which lives for ten thousand years without dying and, after a hundred tribulations, becos a True Dragon!”
After hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing straightened his face and demanded, “Where did you learn this secret, you little rascal? Did Zhao Dingguang with that big mouth of his reveal it to you?
That kid has never been able to shut his mouth.
I’ve never had much hope for him. But who would have guessed that of all the juniors, only he has managed to reach this point today. It really is fate’s play!”
One hundred years after Zhao Sheng’s fourth-generation ancestors had passed away in ditation, Zhao Xuanjing finally cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm of Foundation Establishnt at the ripe age of two hundred and eighty.
Subsequently, the Ksitigarbha Sect found him while roaming the world, discovering both Zhao Xuanjing, who had attained a third-tier Golden Ring Dragon Worm. They were overjoyed and treated him like a precious gem.
Then, Zhao Xuanjing smoothly joined the Ksitigarbha Sect.
After another 60 years, he successfully ascended to beco a Golden Core Master and also beca the new guardian of the Ksitigarbha Sect.
The reason was simple, as Zhao Xuanjing shared life with the Dragon Worm King, his lifespan was as long as two thousand years, and even if he relied on the passage of ti, he could grind his way to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Five hundred years ago, after Zhao Xuanjing ascended to Golden Core,
To prevent the opposing forces from nipping a potential Nascent Soul in the bud, the Ksitigarbha Sect took special asures to hide Zhao Xuanjing’s origins,
While the Zhao Family issued a gag order to their clan mbers and revised Zhao Xuanjing’s records and experience.
Zhao Xuanjing was already the leader of Zhao’s Secret Departnt, often keeping a low profile and never revealing his True Face,
Not to ntion the outsiders who were ignorant of the truth, even mbers of his own family knew very little about him.
Afterward, Central Continent gained a silent and naless Ksitigarbha Sect Golden Core, and the Taiwu Zhao Family lost a Golden Core Ancestor.
Therefore, during the battle at Croc Dragon Swamp three hundred years ago, Zhao Xuanjing erged from obscurity. With his first move, he tad the Sixth-Order Crocodile Dragon for his own use, establishing a quick victory,
Not only did he snatch the Thousand-mile Crocodile Dragon Swamp for the Taiwu Zhao Family, but he also caused various competitors to back off, including a few Golden Core Families.
It is worth ntioning that the Croc Dragon Swamp possesses a Second-Order High-Grade Spirit Vein, and within a thousand miles, there are as many as seven First-rank Spirit Vein branches.
Even more impressive is that the branches of the Spirit Vein contain all Five Elents: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; it can truly be called a Treasure Land.
