Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Mastery of All Laws Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Mastery of All Laws 500,000 silver?
Wang Chen subconsciously touched his chin—this deal isn’t bad!
However, Princess Qingyun obviously misunderstood his expression, and said indignantly, “If 500,000 isn’t enough, then 800,000. That’s all I can offer.”
Are you kidding?
Wang Chen really wanted to retort.
The beloved sister of Emperor Shaowu, the illustrious princess of Great Liang, could only offer 800,000 silver?
But after thinking it over, he nodded and said, “Then let’s settle on 800,000, but I would like it to be converted into aged dicinal ingredients, like ginseng, Lingzhi, Yellow Essence, and so forth that are over a hundred years old.”
The reason is simple, many prized dicinal ingredients stored in the pharmacies of Daye City, after repeated procurents by Wang Chen, have greatly decreased in stock, driving prices up.
So businesses even hoarded their goods, reluctant to sell.
Yet the Imperial Family of Great Liang possessed treasures from across the world, with plenty of rare dicinal ingredients stored in the palace.
Getting a batch through Princess Qingyun would certainly be much more advantageous than buying them with silver himself.
But his request apparently stumped Princess Qingyun.
She turned to look at a guard by her side, her eyes inquiring, “Uncle Sun?”
The guard glanced coldly at Wang Chen, his eyes filled with a stern warning.
Then he gave a slight nod.
“Alright.”
Princess Qingyun clapped her hands joyfully: “Please help then.”
“Wait!”
Uncle Sun suddenly spoke, “Thousand Household Wang, Princess Qingyun was born with blocked ridians and cannot pursue martial arts or cultivation. Neither the emperor nor the Empress Dowager, despite summoning nurous renowned dical cultivators and martial experts, have found a solution.”
“You’re so young and not from a dicinal lineage, what makes you bold enough to make such audacious claims?”
“What if the treatnt goes wrong? Can you bear that responsibility?”
His tone was aggressive, and he emitted a strong presence as he spoke, enveloping Wang Chen within it!
If Wang Chen lacked strength or had any guilt, he would likely stutter at this point.
However, Wang Chen stood firm as a mountain, as though completely oblivious to the pressure from the other party, not even blinking once.
“Uncle Sun…”
Princess Qingyun gazed at the guard with pleading eyes, “I believe in Thousand Household Wang.”
Having grown up in the secluded depths of the palace, she had always been extrely interested in Taoist skills from an early age, yet innate limitations hindered her pursuit.
Others tended to deceive and coddle her, never telling her the truth.
Yet Wang Chen had acted differently.
Although Wang Chen had initially politely refused, afterward, Princess Qingyun had pondered over and over and ca to believe more firmly that Wang Chen might have a way to help her.
Risking being confined, she held onto a sliver of hope and secretly left the palace to find Wang Chen.
Now that Wang Chen agreed, how could Princess Qingyun possibly miss this opportunity!
Uncle Sun was utterly helpless.
He had already erred by accompanying Princess Qingyun out of the palace privately—if she were to be hard, he would be indefensibly guilty.
Originally, in Uncle Sun’s opinion, allowing Princess Qingyun to et Wang Chen and completely give up hope would have been enough.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chen did not act as anticipated!
Frustrated, the fifth-tier Martial Ancestor glared at Wang Chen with fierce eyes, trying to make him step back.
Wang Chen ignored his gaze.
He raised his right palm.
A fla instantly materialized above the palm of Wang Chen’s hand, exuding a warm and bright light.
This miraculous scene imdiately caught the attention of Princess Qingyun and Uncle Sun.
Only to see this ball of fla intensely fluctuate a few tis, and in the blink of an eye transford into a lifelike Fire Crow.
The next mont, the Fire Crow spread its wings and soared into the sky, its feathers scattering sparks of fire as it circled and danced around the hall’s pillars.
Princess Qingyun looked up, her beautiful large eyes reflecting the burning Fire Crow, her face full of longing and admiration!
This is an Innate Taoist Seed!
Wang Chen’s mind stirred, his right hand flicked lightly, and the Fire Crow in the air instantly exploded silently.
Stars of fire drifted down, vanishing without a trace before they even touched the people below.
Inside the hall, there was a complete silence.
“Clap clap clap!”
Crisp applause shattered the quiet.
It was Princess Qingyun who was clapping, her pretty face flushed with excitent, praising Wang Chen: “Thousand Household Wang, you are incredibly skilled!”
This princess had seen many mages from the Taoist Palace, all with renowned reputations, but none had ever displayed the spectacular spells like Wang Chen.
Uncle Sun’s expression turned gravely serious.
He had investigated Wang Chen’s background, knowing this seventeen-year-old boy, originally nad Ling Zhiyuan from Anyang, was diocre since childhood until his family encountered a crisis and he suddenly exhibited strong martial arts talents.
Then he joined the Blood Cloak Guard and repeatedly made military exploits, his promotion speed was so swift it left people astounded, and he even received a summons from the Emperor.
But all the data about Wang Chen never indicated that he was proficient in Taoist skills.
It was only that he was graced by the Emperor, allowed to enter the Scripture Pavilion to study the Ten Directions Taoist Collection.
The question was, could a re three days enable a martial artist to master powerful spells?
In the eyes of this Imperial Palace expert, Wang Chen’s image abruptly beca profoundly unfathomable, adding a layer of wariness.
Wang Chen smiled faintly: “It’s rely a trivial skill.”
The spell he cast was only at the Primary Tier of Qi Cultivation in the Haotian Realm.
Yet in terms of the sophistication of techniques, there are probably few cultivators in this world who could compare.
Although the laws of the two worlds differ, once Wang Chen, bearing the knowledge and experience of a Golden Core True Person, grasped the principles of Cangqing Domain’s Taoist skills, it was only natural that he could master all spells.
“I want to learn!”
Princess Qingyun cheered exuberantly, even ignoring the gender propriety by grabbing Wang Chen’s sleeve and coquettishly speaking: “Thousand Household Wang, please teach , I want to learn!”
“Cough cough!”
Wang Chen couldn’t help but cough twice, glancing at Uncle Sun beside him.
Princess Qingyun instantly understood, imdiately turning to Uncle Sun and acting spoiled: “Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun…”
“Alright, alright!”
Uncle Sun, overwheld, had to say: “You can learn, but I need to supervise.”
Princess Qingyun giggled, triumphantly waving her little hand at Wang Chen: “Thousand Household Wang, then let’s start!”
Wang Chen said gravely: “First, I need to unblock your ridians, this process will be very painful, if you can’t endure it, you’ll have to give up, and you won’t be able to try again in the future.”
“Do you understand?”
“Hmm!”
Princess Qingyun nodded vigorously: “Rest assured, I can definitely bear it!”
“Very well.”
As soon as Wang Chen’s words fell, he abruptly raised his right palm and heavily slapped it on Princess Qingyun’s forehead.
Princess Qingyun shuddered all over, her entire body stiff as a wooden chicken.
“Stop!”
This scene shocked Uncle Sun and another guard, who instinctively tried to intervene.
Yet just as they made a move, an invisible force of oppression firmly restrained the two!
