Capítulo 491: Chapter 492: Threefold Division, Earth Holy Seal (Part 1)
Feng Bailing left Drunken Immortal Inn and asked Dugu Xiaojin to return to Prince Shun’s Mansion, while she took the dicine liquid to the Princess’ Mansion.
“Brother Li, please take a look at this dicine liquid.”
Feng Bailing spoke and handed the ginseng liquid she had just acquired to Li Mubei.
Li Mubei was worried about the auction of five-hundred-year-old purple ginseng last night at the Underworld Market, fearing it might affect the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce’s dicine products.
As soon as he opened it, he slled a strong dicinal scent and took a drop to taste, Li Mubei felt invigorated.
“Goodness, this dicine is extraordinary, a drop of ginseng liquid might be equivalent to the dicinal effect of a century-old ginseng. Drinking a few more drops, the effect won’t be much less than that of ginseng soup.”
Li Mubei’s face showed approval.
“Not only that, the most troubleso part of traditional dicine is the decoction process, which also wastes so dicinal effects. Turning it into a dicine liquid boosts absorption significantly without any waste.”
After refinent by Amber Spider, the ginseng’s dicinal effects could be fully absorbed, making the effects even better, similar in principle to Western dicine.
“Where did you get this dicine liquid from? And do you have more?”
“My teacher refined it, able to extract from various herbs. I’m also learning, soon the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce will be able to produce it in large quantities.”
Feng Bailing said with a smile.
“Your teacher, truly a divine being.”
Li Mubei regarded Feng Bailing with even more reverence.
“Brother Li, I plan to sell this type of dicine liquid officially to confront Underworld Market. Additionally, I need a batch of Heavenly Stone, my teacher can also refine Heavenly Iron.”
As reciprocity goes, since Underworld Market targeted Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, they will not cower.
Especially Commandery Princess Changle, that shaless woman, fully aware that Dugu Wu already had a Princess Consort and yet still seduced Dugu Wu – Feng Bailing would not tolerate it.
Li Mubei’s worries instantly dissipated.
Not to ntion about Heavenly Iron, just having this kind of dicine liquid convinced Li Mubei that sooner rather than later, the title of the top comrce association would have to change.
Later that day at noon, Dugu Wu and Dongfang Yu went to convene the Ten Countries Conference.
After the auction, representatives of the Ten Countries had all arrived, but there remained an issue – the venue for the Competition Among Ten Countries had not been determined.
Every country wanted to host the Four Great Holy Seals competition, but the other nine countries disagreed, fearing the host country would manipulate outcos unfavorably for their own teams. From morning till afternoon, none of the countries could co to a conclusion.
Finally, the hot-tempered Xiao Junci slamd the table and said angrily,
“Neither Chu City nor Beiqi are suitable. Let’s just hold it in rcenary City. If anyone still has objections, they can co and fight with .”
The other eight country representatives exchanged looks.
Dugu Wu actually favored the idea ntioned by Xiao Junci. It was known that all countries possessed so grey areas, like the several big rcenary Cities occupying typical lawless zones, uncontrollable by any nation’s power.
Holding the Competition Among Ten Countries in rcenary City was actually the fairest option.
“Regent King’s suggestion is feasible, Great Chu agrees to host the Competition Among Ten Countries in rcenary City.”
Dongfang Yu was the first to express his stance.
He also wanted to use this opportunity to forge a good relationship with Xiao Junci.
“I agree as well.”
Li Mubei also nodded slightly.
The sisters from the Wu Family representing Chen Country had no objections either.
Ouyang Chenchen and Mr. Nan Chen likewise had no objections, hence the location was determined, yet they still needed to communicate with Soldier Inn to choose which rcenary City would be the final venue.
“Now that the location has been decided, we should next discuss the matter about the prizes. The prizes for the top three have already been approved by the emperors of each country without much issue, just the first place prize of the Earth Holy Seal…”
Li Mubei mused.
The cities and Heavenly Stone of each country, as agreed upon for the rewards, had been settled.
Only the first place prize, the Earth Holy Seal had not been ntioned.
“Chen Dynasty, Qinglian Country, and Da Feng, none of your countries have provided Heavenly Stone or given cities. The Earth Holy Seal is in your hands, it should also be shown to everyone.”
Xiao Junci glanced at the sisters from Chen Dynasty.
Wanwan and Zhenzhen said nothing.
Compared to other countries, these three were slightly lacking in both territory and power.
So when they suggested using the Earth Holy Seal as a prize, the other seven countries were surprised.
The Earth Holy Seal indeed was in the hands of the Three Kingdoms.
“Well said.”
The other country representatives also spoke up in turn.
The Five Holy Seals were legendary artifacts scarcely seen by anyone, and the representatives all were eager to witness one of the five, the Earth Holy Seal.
The sisters from the Wu Family and the representatives from the other two countries looked at each other.
Finally, Wanwan stepped forward with a rueful smile.
“It’s not that we are unwilling to present the Earth Holy Seal, but it has been divided into three, jointly owned by our three nations.”
Saying this, a representative from each of the other two nations stepped forward.
Zhenzhen also ca forward, taking out a small white jade box from her chest.
“Divided into three? What nonsense is this.”
Princess Changle also sneered, and Zhenzhen, displeased, retorted with a cold laugh.
“If it weren’t for the Earth Holy Seal being split into three, do you think our three countries would willingly hand it over as a prize?”
Her voice trembled slightly with anger and sorrow, the other representatives listened, realizing there was probably more to the story of Earth Holy Seal.
Wanwan continued, making the other representatives understand why the Three Kingdoms supported Xiao Junci’s proposal for the Competition’s venue and agreed to offer the Earth Holy Seal as the first-place prize.
About four years ago, led by Chen Country, in the bordering territory of the three countries, frequent geological disasters had occurred.
Initially, all nations thought they were common natural disasters and paid no attention, but as ti passed, they noticed that after these natural disasters, the terrain whether mountains, rivers, or so fields at their borders all transford, causing heavy casualties among local people and livestock, making life unbearable.
After discovering this, all three countries sequentially sent investigators, but no concrete results erged, and instead, severe human losses occurred.
Aware of this, the National Guardians of the three countries went to investigate, only then discovered the site where the three countries converged was manifesting the Earth Holy Seal, which like the other Four Great Holy Seals, was nurtured by nature.
However, the Earth Holy Seal was extrely powerful, constantly stirring and creating multiple disasters, causing relentless natural and human calamities across the three countries, uncontrollable by human power, ultimately leading to tragedy.
