Chapter 541: Chapter 530: Departure, Sothing Unusual
Inside the room, it was as quiet as a wash, and the silence was palpable.
A serious atmosphere perated the room.
When the Old Dragon King took out the wooden box and pushed it across the table to Qin An, there was an inexplicable expression on his face.
Qin An looked at the wooden box, his brow slightly furrowed, and then he opened it.
When he opened the wooden box and saw the contents inside, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Such a precious thing, could it possibly be for ?"
Inside the wooden box lay a small green grass.
The small grass looked ordinary, but it emanated an illusory aura, so that even ordinary people would find it quite extraordinary.
This is Mystic Grass, a supre essence of the Void Shattering Realm.
Currently, Qin An had already collected two, and was just missing the last one.
One was obtained from Wu Yunfeng, and one from Princess Long San.
Now, the Dragon King was also giving him one, making Qin An think there might be so significant interests intertwined.
Sure enough, when Qin An said this, the Old Dragon King imdiately responded.
The Old Dragon King sighed slightly and said, "This is an investnt, an investnt in Mr. Qin."
Upon hearing this, Qin An slightly frowned.
"What do you an by the investnt you just ntioned?"
He was sowhat confused, finding the Old Dragon King’s words rather inexplicable.
The Old Dragon King slowly said, "I see the potential in Mr. Qin, believing that Mr. Qin can bring benefits to the Dragon Palace, but sotis, adding flowers to the brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, so I wish to send you this charcoal in the snow."
"Mr. Qin should currently have two pieces of Mystic Grass, and with this one, it would be enough for you to forge the supre essence of the Void Shattering Realm, and the purpose is only to befriend you."
"If the Dragon Palace encounters trouble in the future, Mr. Qin can lend a helping hand."
Having said this, the Old Dragon King felt that he had said enough and fell silent,
Qin An narrowed his eyes and asked, "Your Dragon Palace is considered top-tier among upper forces, with nurous elite soldiers, why would you need a Copper Dao Marshal like
to help?"
"If you truly need help, wouldn’t it be better to enlist a Silver Dao Marshal or a Gold Dao Marshal?"
The Old Dragon King shook his head and said, "As I just ntioned, adding flowers to the brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, even if those Silver and Gold Dao Marshals want to help the Dragon Palace, I have to be cautious."
"But Mr. Qin is different. Mr. Qin, my next words may be a bit presumptuous, but I hope you can understand."
Qin An raised his hand and said, "Please speak."
He felt there was more to the matter, and he hadn’t accepted the Mystic Grass yet, as accepting it rashly without understanding the situation might bring trouble.
The Old Dragon King paused briefly and said, "To put it bluntly, Mr. Qin is not part of the Tianyun Dao, having no power, no influence, and no background. Such a person brings more benefits than harm to the Dragon Palace, whereas those Silver and Gold Dao Marshals are deeply rooted in Tianyun Dao."
"If the Dragon Palace truly encounters problems in the future, they might still consider the situation, so do you understand now, Mr. Qin?"
Qin An nodded.
"If the Old Dragon King puts it that way, then I understand a lot. You value my potential, but still, are you saying the Dragon Palace might face a devastating crisis in the future?"
The Old Dragon King sighed, then pointed to himself: "What does Mr. Qin think of my strength?"
Qin An nodded and said, "You have the strength of a Gold Dao Marshal level, but I don’t know if you have the foundation of that level."
The Old Dragon King smiled wryly: "Your words sowhat flatter , Mr. Qin; I don’t have the foundation of a Gold Dao Marshal. Any Gold Dao Marshal coming to the Dragon Palace could easily crush , and now my situation is even more precarious, as my lifespan is running out."
"That’s why I started establishing the Dragon Crown Prince, but even when I do, after I die, the Dragon Palace will still fall into a period of turmoil."
"At that ti, enemies of the Dragon Palace, including the Phoenix Demon clan, might take the opportunity to deal with the Dragon Palace, and without sufficient attention, it would be a disaster."
"At that ti, if Mr. Qin has the ability, a little assistance to the Dragon Palace would be beneficial."
Qin An fell into silence.
The Old Dragon King also said nothing, but his gaze was keenly fixed on Qin An.
During this period, he had been communicating with Princess Long San, and their exchanges were all related to Qin An.
He was very curious about this young man.
Princess Long San also had no reservations, recounting to the Old Dragon King all of Qin An’s various experiences in Xunyang Prefecture and after arriving in Tianyun Dao.
After listening, the Old Dragon King had a general understanding of Qin An.
Then he made this decision.
An all-rounder, even just starting out, as long as given ti, could soar high.
This was what the Old Dragon King firmly believed in his heart.
Even if this grand gamble ultimately failed, it would only cost him a piece of Mystic Grass.
No matter how precious the Mystic Grass is, the Old Dragon King didn’t consider it a big deal.
Qin An was lost in thought, and after a long while, he picked up the Mystic Grass on the table and said, "Let
be clear, if at that ti, I don’t have the strength to contend with the enemies you ntioned, I might not act."
"This is a transaction. If the Old Dragon King can accept it, then I will absorb this Mystic Grass."
The Old Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Naturally, if Mr. Qin doesn’t have the ability to counter them by then, coming would only be sending you to your death, and we certainly don’t wish for you to die, Mr. Qin."
Qin An said no more, then mobilized his internal Void Essence, absorbing the Mystic Grass into his body.
The next mont, the power of the Mystic Grass turned into an illusory aura enveloping his entire body.
The third piece of Mystic Grass, Qin An finally collected.
From now on, he possessed the supre essence of the Void Shattering Realm, only needing to follow step by step into the Elent Transformation Realm to achieve the perfect body with supre essence once again.
The Old Dragon King paused for a mont, then continued, "Mr. Qin, I’ve said all that needs to be said. After this banquet, be careful of the Alchemy Master Alliance. I suspect they might cause so trouble."
Qin An nodded, said nothing further, and clasped his hands, "Thank you for your hospitality, Old Dragon King. I accept this transaction. In the future, if I have the ability that surpasses them, I will surely help the Dragon Palace through its crisis."
The Old Dragon King did not linger any longer.
Having learned about Qin An’s nature from Princess Long San, he refrained from saying much to Qin An.
Qin An turned around, preparing to step out of the room.
But just as Qin An was about to leave the room, he suddenly rembered sothing and turned around to say.
"By the way, it seems that I can still go to the treasure vault and choose sothing I need, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Old Dragon King’s expression suddenly froze, then shifted to a look of resignation.
"Mr. Qin truly is an ingenious person. According to the rules, you can indeed pick one item from the treasury. But going to that vault to select sothing is particularly troubleso. How about this, instead of going there, just tell
what you need, and I will have soone fetch it for you directly."
Qin An thought for a mont and said, "What I need is simple, just a blade skill. This wouldn’t be too difficult for the Old Dragon King, would it?"
The Old Dragon King pondered briefly and continued asking, "Could you narrow it down a bit?"
Qin An thought for a while and said, "I need a blade skill that can augnt the Nine-Colored Void Essence."
Saying this, Qin An drew the Cold Star from his waist.
On the Cold Star, Nine-Colored Void Essence surged.
Staring at the Nine-Colored Void Essence on Cold Star, the Old Dragon King showed a look of astonishnt: "Nine types of Void Essence attributes, the Heart thod cultivated by Mr. Qin is truly remarkable."
Qin An nodded, dispelling the Void Essence on it, then sheathed the blade and asked, "I wonder if the Dragon Palace has such a blade skill?"
He thought for a mont just now.
His blade skill was already strong and worked seamlessly with the Nine types of Void Essence, but if he could enhance the Nine types of Void Essence, surpassing the blade skill, then the power of his blade skill would geotrically increase.
As long as he obtained this blade skill, Qin An could return to hone the proficiency of his Butcher profession, quickly advancing the Butcher profession to level eighteen, triggering the next transformation.
Then deduce the blade skill to Great Success in the Void Shattering Realm.
Upon hearing this from Qin An, the Dragon King nodded and said, "If you were to go elsewhere, it might indeed be challenging to find such a blade skill, but the Dragon Palace does have it. Please wait a mont."
With that, the Old Dragon King stood up and walked out of the room.
Qin An thought for a while, did not go out, and patiently waited.
After about the ti it takes to burn an incense stick, the Old Dragon King returned to the room holding a cultivation technique and placed it on the table, pushing it toward Qin An.
On the cultivation technique were the words ’Enchanted Blade Skill’.
Qin An picked it up and, after a careful look through it, gained so insight.
It indeed was a blade skill from the Void Shattering Realm, characterized by the word ’Enchantnt’.
During execution, Void Essence could be used as a guide to enhance the cohesion of various attributes and strengthen the coordination between attributes.
For Qin An, it was indeed a blade skill that fit him perfectly.
Having obtained the cultivation technique, Qin An did not wish to stay any longer, stood up and said, "In that case, I must thank the Old Dragon King. I shall take my leave now."
Seeing Qin An so eager to leave, the Old Dragon King did not keep him and allowed Qin An to depart.
Soon, only the Old Dragon King was left there.
At this mont, the door was pushed open, and a burly young man stepped in, respectfully clasping his hands before the Old Dragon King.
"Greetings, Father King."
The Old Dragon King nodded slightly: "Spread the word, inform the other Dragon Princes not to have any disputes with Qin An. If anyone dares to offend Qin An, then they will no longer be considered a prince of the Dragon Palace."
The burly young man was slightly surprised but still nodded to agree, then asked, "What about Old Nine? He seems to have already had a conflict with Qin An."
The Old Dragon King slamd the table: "Confine him in the palace, I want him grounded for half a year. If he continues to disobey, expel him from the Dragon Palace!"
The young man quickly knelt on the ground, responding loudly before leaving the room.
The Old Dragon King looked at the empty doorway and sighed deeply: "Hopefully my investnt is correct, this concerns the survival of the Dragon Palace."
The lingering sigh echoed continuously in the room.
...
After leaving the room, Qin An did not go to the treasury to look for other things he might need but returned to his residence, patiently waiting for the birthday festivities to end.
As for leaving the Dragon Palace, naturally, he had to wait until the following morning.
This night, with nothing planned, he went to bed early. It wasn’t until the next morning that Qin An stepped outside.
Coincidentally, Princess Long San and Long Tianxing were also present, and with their farewell, Qin An and the two ca to the entrance of the Dragon Palace.
At this mont, there were already boats waiting at the exit.
Above the boats, Jianghu people were boarding from ti to ti, leaving the place via the ship.
Long Tianxing looked at Qin An’s back, silently.
Princess Long San was very curious and asked again, "Father King really didn’t tell you anything else?"
Last night, Qin An was asked by the Old Dragon King to go alone to the inner hall behind the main hall, and Princess Long San had already asked for the reason no less than five tis.
Qin An shook his head and said, "So things are better left unsaid. If the Princess asks again, it truly won’t be delightful."
Upon hearing this, Princess Long San had no choice but to shut her mouth.
As for why Qin An did not tell Princess Long San, it’s actually quite simple.
The Old Dragon King did not say whether this matter could be disclosed, which proves that this matter indeed cannot be spoken of.
Ahead, another wooden ship slowly drifted by.
Qin An did not speak further with Princess Long San, clasped his fists to the two, and left the place, boarding the wooden ship.
Princess Long San and Long Tianxing, accustod to Qin An’s solitary and independent nature, could only wave their hands as a farewell.
But as Qin An patiently sat in the corner of the wooden ship, two figures quickly followed, boarding the wooden ship...
