AWB Chapter 381 Lingyuan State Master
Chapter 381 Lingyuan State Master
What he said does not sound unreasonable.
"But……"
Ning Luo wanted to say something, but Ning Suyan interrupted him with a wave of her hand:
"Don't be so careless. Back then, your father and I sacrificed countless lives so that the Ice Dragon Clan could gain a firm foothold in the first echelon of the beast tribes in the fairy world.
As members of the Ice Dragon Clan, we should enjoy equal treatment. Don't feel any psychological burden!
Moreover, your second junior brother racked his brains and secluded himself for more than two months for this magic weapon. When he came out, he was so thin that he looked unrecognizable.
Your elder brother Shangguan has been running back and forth to Baibaozhai countless times to buy materials on credit, and his face is almost worn out.
With the absence of several important roles, the various preparatory tasks for the opening of Wuji Xian Pavilion that were originally assigned to them had to be undertaken by Chu You and others.
All of us have put in the effort to create this heavenly defensive magical weapon.
They're willing to bid high, so we can make more money, which is reasonable, what's the problem?"
After a pause, she said again:
"Besides, that was based on the premise that the Ice Dragon Clan won the auction and obtained this treasure.
If it were taken away by other forces, we wouldn't have a chance even if we wanted to claim it as our master!"
Ning Luo only said two words, but his own mother went on to talk a lot. He actually had no intention of stopping her at all.
Seeing that his own mother began to pay close attention to the auction outside again, Ning Luo smiled and shook his head, then followed her out to watch.
At this time, the amount had soared to 1.5 million taels of gold, and there was an extremely short pause.
Competition for the dozen or so private rooms was very fierce at the beginning, and the number of rooms still under auction was reduced by half.
The Yin-Yang Beast brother and sister were very sorry, and the brother was still comforting his sister:
"Second sister, we've already captured some of the resources we need. Besides, our Yin-Yang Beasts' defenses are already top-notch, so we don't need this armor!"
"But this armor is so beautiful, I really want to buy it and give it to my mother!"
The woman sighed regretfully, but quickly cheered up:
"It doesn't matter. At least we sensed the presence of the Third Sister. If we can really find her, it will be much more meaningful than bidding for this heavenly defensive immortal weapon!"
"Ok!"
The man rubbed the woman's head, and seeing that she had come to her senses so quickly, he stopped worrying.
But not all boxes are as open as they think.
After another round of fierce competition, only four boxes were left for auction.
Although no one knows each other's identity, most people can actually guess that it should be the most powerful female-dominated Lingyuan Kingdom and male-dominated Yuheng Kingdom, as well as the two sacred beast kingdoms of the Ice Dragon Clan and the Fire Dragon Clan, which are as hostile as water and fire and need the magic weapon the most.
Seeing that the price had soared to three million taels of gold, the two female officials of Lingyuan Kingdom's Treasure Casting Department became hesitant.
The plump female official whispered a suggestion:
"We're already over budget. Should we ask the Empress for permission?"
The slender female official pondered for a moment:
"The Empress has always been in charge of state affairs, and matters related to cultivation have long been handed over to the Imperial Master.
Our competitors won't wait for us to bid. If we want a quick response, it would be faster to ask the Imperial Master directly."
As everyone knows, the empress of their Lingyuan country has been infatuated with the national teacher for many years, but the national teacher seems to be devoted to Taoism, with no desires or demands, and has never given the empress any response.
It is really puzzling that such a person with no desires at all, managed the entire Lingyuan Kingdom in an orderly manner like a machine, and became one of the most powerful forces in the entire fairy world.
But the National Master is the highest cultivation leader in a country, and his say in cultivation is even higher than that of the Empress, so no one dares to question him.
The empress even handed over the management of the national treasury to the imperial teacher.
The plump female official exchanged glances with the slim female official, and immediately edited the message and sent it to their superiors.
At the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion in the capital of Lingyuan Nation, a man hurried to the top floor of the Zhaixing Tower. Seeing a group of men in black robes, he immediately knelt down.
"National Master, there is urgent information from Puyang City. Please take a look..."
The man didn't look back, but only stared at the stars in the night sky. After a long moment, he slowly said, "Read it."
The messenger opened the letter and read the bidding results of the top-grade defensive magic weapon at the auction.
Hearing the price had soared to three million taels of gold, he frowned slightly. "No need to argue anymore. This price is no longer worth it."
His cold voice echoed.
The messenger did not follow orders and leave as he had done several times before. He hesitated for a long time before saying:
"Master, this Heavenly Grade Immortal Artifact is different from the previous ones. Its design is nearly perfect. Not only does it perfectly integrate all the materials, but its appearance is also incredibly beautiful. It is a masterpiece that is rarely seen in a thousand years.
Imperial Master, would you mind taking a look first?"
The man didn't want to pay attention to it, but the star he had been observing in the sky suddenly flashed purple light.
He suddenly tightened his white fingers, which were as distinct as scallion roots, and stretched out his hand towards the messenger.
"Bring it here."
The messenger quickly handed over his jade slip. The moment the man saw the 'Mysterious Ice Gathering Spirit Armor' clearly, his body suddenly froze.
Even breathing seemed to have stopped.
After a long while, when the messengers thought he would not speak, he suddenly gave the order:
"Buy this magical weapon at any price!"
The voice did not express joy or anger, but seemed to be suppressing extremely complex emotions.
Before the messenger left, the man said:
"After taking the photo, have them take the armor back to the Imperial Master's Mansion immediately!"
"Yes!"
Only after the messenger left did the man go to get his jade slip.
Because his hands were shaking, he took it several times before finally taking out the jade slip. He clicked on the jade slip forum about the "Mysterious Ice Gathering Spirit Armor" and stroked the ice dragon pattern on the heart of the armor, muttering to himself:
"After more than three hundred years, am I finally going to wait for you?"
Just as he finished speaking, a tear fell heavily on the location of the ice dragon pattern on the jade slip.
He slowly pressed it against his chest, as if he had lost all support, and as if he had found a vent for the emotions that he had suppressed for too long. He slowly squatted down and let his tears fall.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
Most of the "Xuanbing Juling Armor" was designed by Nangong Yan, except for the ice dragon pattern on the heart, which he copied from the ice dragon drawn by Chu You himself.
