Chapter 1201: Greedy Envoys

This iron skewer was different from the one Xu Qing had left in the Wanggu Continent.

First it was the styling.

The iron skewer of the Wanggu Continent was shaped like a Vajra Pestle.

It was quite different from the original appearance of Xu Qing's iron skewer.

And this one was exactly the same as the first iron skewer.

It was thin and long, and the tip was extremely sharp.

However, in terms of pure power, it was hard to say which one was stronger. After all, the metal skewer from before had been refined many times. Furthermore, the Seventh Master had personally refined it, and it also possessed an item spirit.

It contained many powers, but due to Xu Qing's cultivation back then, he was unable to display them.

But in terms of suitability … the one in front of him was naturally more suitable for Xu Qing to display his skills.

After all, for the current Xu Qing, his constitution was the most important part of his combat strength, and this metal skewer that was infused with his constitution was the most suitable constitution treasure for him.

They could follow his constitution into the universe, into many space-times, and resonate with him!

Most importantly, it truly existed. When it resonated with Xu Qing, not only did its power increase exponentially, it could also transform with Xu Qing, giving Xu Qing even more ways to display his power.

In addition, because it contained heavenly dust, this metal lot's status was extremely high, and it possessed "weight".

This weight caused Quasi-Immortals to revere it!

Therefore, this iron skewer could be said to be the most powerful treasure in Xu Qing's possession at this moment!

Furthermore, no one else could activate it!

Even the slightest touch would cause one to fall into space-time, as if there was no space between them.

Even if they could forcefully suppress it, they would need to be at least an Lower Immortal.

"This treasure is not bad."

"It can at least double your battle prowess."

Above the fire pit, the old man in a crimson robe stared at the iron skewer that he had refined and added some rare materials. He was very satisfied with this treasure.

With a wave of his hand, the iron skewer buzzed and flew out of the fire pit, heading straight for Xu Qing.

It stopped in front of Xu Qing and floated motionlessly.

Xu Qing's emotions surged as he raised his hand and grabbed the iron skewer.

The sense of familiarity formed by using the Iron Skewer in the past emerged in the palm of his hand at this moment. After connecting with his mind, the Iron Skewer that showed kaleidoscope of time and space slowly disappeared.

It fused into Xu Qing's palm and hid in his Spacetime Constitution, resonating and nurturing at all times.

After sensing it, Xu Qing was extremely satisfied. He bowed to the red-robed old man above the fire pit.

"Thank you, Senior. May I know Senior's name? This junior will remember this favor."

Xu Qing's gratitude toward the Old Immortal before him came from the bottom of his heart. Not only did the Old Immortal make an exception and repair his Star Pagoda, he even refined such a precious treasure for him.

Furthermore, during the process, the other party had taken out his own item and added it into the mix.

Xu Qing understood that each and every stroke of the pen was an act of kindness.

"You don't have to be like this. You deserve it anyway. You can call me True Lord Jiu Si."

At this point, the red-robed elder on the fire pit smiled and spoke again.

"I'm Linshan's second senior brother."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment before he understood.

Lower Immortals were all addressed as Master.

As for the title of True Lord, it was even more special. Only the disciples of the Immortal Lord could be called True Lord.

Therefore, Xu Qing already understood the background of the person in front of him.

And Zhou Linshan was Fairy Ling Huang's real name!

"Junior Sister once sent a message to us senior brothers, asking us to take care of you."

"So if you need anything in the future, you can come to this Dao Refinement Universe to find me."

"Go."

Supreme Lord Jiu Si's gentle voice reverberated. He raised his hand and waved it gently. Suddenly, the surroundings became blurry. When Xu Qing's vision became clear again, he was no longer in the Dao Furnace, but on a huge void belt.

Although there were many cultivators on it, it was different from the void belt from before. The people on this void belt were all people who had finished refining their magic treasures.

Standing here, Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the furnace.

He bowed again.

He sighed in his heart.

The trip to the Aurora Immortal Palace had renewed the marriage between Young Master Aurora and Fairy Ling Huang that had been severed all those years ago. The lingering fragrance of these scenes was gradually spreading throughout the Nine Shores Heaven.

"I wonder where they are now …"

The scenes in the Aurora Immortal Palace appeared in Xu Qing's mind. With his blessings for them, Xu Qing turned around and prepared to leave.

Originally, Xu Qing had reserved a lot of time for this trip. Now that things had gone smoothly, he had saved a lot of time.

"Next, I'll go to the Immortal Hero Mausoleum!"

Xu Qing was now certain. Just as he was about to take out the Immortal Hero's teleportation slip, a familiar voice entered his senses from afar.

After hearing this, Xu Qing raised his eyebrows. He didn't immediately teleport away. Instead, he flew towards the source of the voice.

Those voices were still ringing out, and they were becoming more and more intense.

"You've gone too far! Do you really think we're made of mud?!"

"That's right. Humiliating us two brothers is equivalent to humiliating all the ascenders in this batch. It's equivalent to humiliating our master, the Blue Rabbit Sword Immortal, and humiliating everyone in our Sword Immortal School!"

The ones who spoke were Qian Jun and Bi Yi!

"So … as long as the sword exists, so will the person!

The two of them growled.

At this moment, their expressions were furious, and their voices were sonorous and forceful. They picked up whatever they could get their hands on and faced the three people who were blocking their way!

The three of them were dressed in the same way. They were all wearing long gowns with a hundred pockets.

Their gray robes had over a hundred pockets sewn on them. They looked very special, and each pocket seemed to contain the universe. They were definitely not ordinary.

At the same time, there was a faint aura of death lingering around the three of them. It was not emitted from the inside out, but it was tainted by the aura of the outside and remained on their bodies.

Furthermore, although the three of them had different appearances, they possessed a certain aura that was rather similar.

It was a kind of … feeling like a dog. Greed and sinister thoughts seemed to have become instinctive.

As for their cultivation levels, two of them were peak Sovereigns, and one of them was a Quasi-Immortal.

In the face of the fierce cries of Qian Jun and Bi Yi, the three of them grinned and didn't care at all.

The Quasi-Immortal inside raised his little finger and pinched his ear holes. He blew in front of his face and laughed.

"Of course, I know that you're this batch of Ascenders, but … who isn't an Ascender? We're also Ascenders from the previous batches."

"Moreover, after arriving in the outside world, although the sects in the Immortal Capital have their own connections, who doesn't?"

"Furthermore, we are only negotiating with you to buy your swords. It's fine if you don't want to sell them. We won't force you."

"However … our duties have given us the qualifications to be recruited."

"If the two of you want to work together, then there's nothing we can do about it."

The middle-aged Quasi-Immortal shook his head.

Hearing this, the expression of Qian Jun and Bi Yi became even more unsightly.

There were quite a few Cultivators who were paying attention to what was happening, and were discussing the matter amongst themselves.

"Judging from their clothes, these three are the Greedy Envoys!"

"Humph. The Greedy Envoys are just a bunch of idiots. They run amok in many universes under the guise of collecting resources for the battlefield. Everyone hates them!"

"Especially these Greedy Envoys. Every team has at least a hundred cultivators. They're in cahoots with each other, but they're also very united. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke them.

"Isn't that what happened today? These three Firewood Dogs took a fancy to those two brothers' Immortal Swords and failed to make a deal with them. Seeing that those two brothers had just ascended, they decided to recruit them."

"If I'm really recruited, although my life won't be deliberately targeted, I won't be able to keep the immortal sword."

The crowd around them was abuzz with discussion, but they did not interfere due to the notorious reputation of the Greedy Envoy. Instead, they watched from the sidelines.

As for Qian Jun and Bi Yi, his heart was filled with anxiety. This was their first time here, and they hadn't had the time to search for their fellow disciples who had ascended in the past. Furthermore, they knew that leaving the Nine Shores Heaven was like walking from a river into the sea.

The rule of the fifth star ring had always been that competition was allowed.

Therefore, if they did not have the ability, then the Immortal Sword being snatched was also in line with the law of the jungle.

As a result, they anxiety grew even stronger.

When Xu Qing saw that both sides had drawn their swords and were about to erupt into conflict, he swept her gaze across the crowd in the distance and wondered if he should lend a hand.

After all, those two swords were technically his.

However, before Xu Qing could make up his mind, a streak of light whistled over from the distance with a domineering momentum.

The figure in the rainbow was dressed in black robes and had a head of black hair. His expression was cold, and his entire body emitted the aura of a Quasi-Immortal. Vaguely, there were chains of order reverberating around him.

Wherever he passed, he attracted countless gazes.

It was Xing Huanzi.

His goal wasn't this place, and naturally, he wasn't here to save them. He had just finished refining his transcendent artifact and was on his way here.

However, the moment he closed in, his aura and domineering aura caused Qian Jun and Bi Yi's eyes to shine brightly. Without any hesitation, the two of them flew out and shouted.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

"Eldest Senior Brother, save me!!"

Since they were from the same batch, it was still somewhat appropriate for her to address him as senior.

Furthermore, Qian Jun and Bi Yi was very anxious, and as he neared, he bowed deeply. Because of that, Xing Huanzi stopped in place.

He frowned.

He hadn't been paying much attention to what was going on, but as he looked around, he could see the gist of what was going on. At first, he didn't want to pay any attention to what was going on, but as soon as Qian Jun and Bi Yi got close, they hid behind him ….

If he left like this, it would seem like he was cowering.

Therefore, even though Xing Huanzi was feeling impatient, his gaze still turned cold as he looked at the three cultivators who were chasing after the army. His pressure suddenly spread out, and his Quasi-Immortal aura surged.

The three of them stopped in their tracks. The two peak Sovereigns had grave expressions on their faces. The Quasi-Immortal in the middle also narrowed his eyes.

He didn't continue forward.

Seeing this, Xing Huanzi withdrew his gaze and flew forward.

Qian Jun and Bi Yi heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed behind.

Just like that, the three figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Everyone's eyes glowed with curiosity.

As for the three Greedy Envoys, they were all looking in the direction Xing Huanzi and the other two had left. The Quasi-Immortal among them suddenly spoke.

"This person shouldn't be the first person to ascend from this world!"

"It seems like we've underestimated this generation. This person is definitely not an ordinary person. Go and investigate who he is!"
