Chapter 438 - 190: Rescuing Guii Yidao and the Golden Eagle
"Our Celestial Wind Kingdom doesn’t have that much gold!"
The King of Celestial Wind didn’t dare raise the offer, so he had to find another way.
Yi Tian was so decisive and relentless, making the King of Celestial Wind feel that Yi Tian was really planning to keep his two sons.
"Let’s just say your Celestial Wind Kingdom doesn’t have that much gold! You can use top-level stone, spirit-level stone, or spirit-level wood to offset the price! As long as it exceeds one hundred and ten million gold, that’s fine." Yi Tian obviously wasn’t backing down.
He only wanted hard currency! Yi Tian didn’t care for other resources prone to market crashes.
"Of course, you don’t need to think too much—I want you to make the choice for me! So? All up to you, just one thought!"
Yi Tian’s words again put pressure on the King of Celestial Wind.
At this moment!
Yi Tian was sitting steady, fishing for a big catch!
Making the King of Celestial Wind feel that the Evil Lord wanted both Zhan Feng and Zhan Yue,
But also wanted resources and gold!
"Lord, I agree to your terms—I’ll trade with spirit-level stone!"
This time, the King of Celestial Wind thought for three minutes!
Trading assets worth 110 million to get back his treasured sons, the future hope of the Wind Race.
No doubt, for his Celestial Wind Dynasty, this was a bargain.
With such a massive empire, gathering these resources was effortless.
But you couldn’t just count it this way; swallowing this insult was infuriating.
What king can stand being extorted by an ant?
"When?"
Spirit-level stone was exactly what Yi Tian needed, too.
"Ten minutes from now!" With a firm decision, the King of Celestial Wind acted immediately!
He didn’t want to fork over gold. Gathering stone would have to wait until tomorrow.
He didn’t want to wait—afraid something might happen.
Within Celestial Wind territory, there was a spirit-level stone ore, famous across the land. That’s why the Celestial Wind Kingdom was far wealthier than the Flower Thorn Dynasty.
This, Yi Tian couldn’t possibly know.
And the King of Celestial Wind had overlooked something—he thought Yi Tian desperately wanted to enslave Zhan Feng and Zhan Yu, because he believed his two sons were SSS-level talents in Qi Refining, rare prodigies once a century.
Switching places, he’d probably do the same.
What he didn’t realize was, Yi Tian’s territory had seven kids with Divine Level talents, and Yi Tian himself had three Divine Level talents. His territory boasted Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Xin Qiji, Huo Qubing, two Earth Bears, a Yin Yang Giant Panda, and a Water Qilin. All far stronger than Zhan Feng or Zhan Yu!
But who could’ve imagined such a dream team?
"Father’s love for his sons, right?" Yi Tian knew exactly what was going on.
The King of Celestial Wind didn’t reply. He walked a few steps to the palace vault where the Celestial Wind Stones were stored.
Soon, he counted out 660,000 units of Celestial Wind Stone.
This nearly emptied the vault of Celestial Wind Stones. The King of Celestial Wind felt the pain, yet had no choice!
After all, the Celestial Wind Stone mine had limited extraction; at least it wasn’t depleted yet!
"[Celestial Wind Stone*660,000] trades for [Zhan Yu][Zhan Feng]."
Once prepared, the King of Celestial Wind didn’t say more, just drew up the trade slip.
Now, the price between Lords and Indigenous People had stabilized—660,000 Celestial Wind Stone was worth one hundred and ten million Celestial Dao Units of gold.
Yi Tian instructed his men to bring Zhan Feng and Zhan Yu to the second stone warehouse.
The large boutique warehouse was too small to hold them.
Accept the deal!
Yi Tian scanned Zhan Feng and Zhan Yu with the Celestial Dao Stone.
Both men were very obedient now, afraid Yi Tian might beat them before leaving, or worse, suddenly enslave them.
Zhan Feng and Zhan Yu vanished!
Yi Tian obtained 660,000 units of spiritual stone.
At this moment, the large boutique warehouse still had 108,000 spiritual stones remaining.
Total: 768,000 units.
Total resources apart from Dao Coin: 2,199 stars.
"Lord, everything comes at a price! Death from greed is taking place in the Celestial Dao World every single moment! My choice was correct, yours is wrong! I’ll use one hundred and twenty million gold to bury you!"
"Also, let me tell you something! In our country, nobles’ tombstones are made from Celestial Wind Stone, heroes of the Wind Race dream of eternal sleep in coffins made from it. You have every reason to be proud!"
With the Gemini Star safely returned, the King of Celestial Wind let out a breath of relief and spoke with no more restraint.
He vented all his pent-up frustration!
"Are you out of your mind? 660,000 spirit-level stone is worth a hundred and twenty million gold?"
Yi Tian had heard more than enough threats.
"Hmph! You’ll soon see what that extra ten million gold was for!" The King of Celestial Wind snorted coldly.
"Hiring the forces from my own region to attack me? I’d love that!" Yi Tian remained stubborn as ever.
"I know that even the powers of your own region can hardly kill a Lord like you. The world is huge, and strange things happen all the time!" The King of Celestial Wind said with deep meaning.
"That’s a statement I’ve always agreed with, too!" Yi Tian replied.
If enemy troops come, I’ll handle them. Water floods, I’ll build a dam.
Yi Tian was ready!
Extorting 660,000 spirit-level stone without facing consequences? Impossible.
With that, Yi Tian hung up on the King of Celestial Wind!
Conveniently, he was in the warehouse area, trading the sold weapons to Ta Fang.
Ta Fang told Yi Tian the price for Divine Weapons had dropped again, with more living creatures recently becoming Artifact Refining Masters.
Yi Tian was mentally prepared! Now Lords had enough weapons, and auction house prices were too cheap.
Indigenous people greatly outnumber Lords, and their demand for Divine Weapons far exceeds that of Lords.
Ta Fang handed the deposit to Yi Tian and made a temporary departure.
"Greetings, Lord!"
At that moment, the Rose Sisters came to pay their respects to Yi Tian.
"How are things in the territory these days?"
Yi Tian asked the Rose Sisters.
"The four of us sisters would like to join the Lord, and will follow your lead!"
The Rose Sisters didn’t answer about the territory, but instead knelt on one knee before Yi Tian.
"Detected four A-level Body Refiners in the territory, territory points increased by 2,000."
"These are not caged birds, but hidden dragons lying deep in the abyss."
Yi Tian gestured for the Rose Sisters to rise.
Loyalty, sixty-five to seventy—they’ve really thought it through.
