Chapter 1272: Deal
Steward Mu had been in the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce for many years and had reached a high position. He had long trained his eyes to be sharp.
What was in Ou Yangming’s hands if not a Raw Stone?
Someone who could take out such a treasure would not just be fooling around with him…
“Cough, cough.”
Just as everyone was shocked, a few coughs came from afar. An old man suddenly walked over.
“Head Steward, why are you here?” Steward Mu saw him and hurriedly walked over to help him up.
The old man’s hair was white, and he looked very weak. He glanced at the crowd and fixed his gaze on Ou Yangming. After looking at him for a moment, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes were filled with shock.
“Are you Sir Ou Yangming?” The old man’s voice was filled with uncertainty.
After all, why would such a big shot come to their chamber of commerce in person?
“Hmm? Do you know me?”
Ou Yangming frowned slightly. He did not have any impression of this old man. The other party recognized his identity at a glance, so he must have seen him before.
The people around were also shocked. The great elder of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce was a legendary powerhouse. His strength had long been at the peak of the law boundary, and he had a close relationship with the second-step president of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce. Even if he had lost his strength due to an accident, his prestige was still there. Moreover, the president of the chamber of commerce had taken care of him. Thus, his status was not to be underestimated.
How could a person with such status be so polite to that young fellow?
‘I seem to have heard the name of Ou Yangming somewhere before…’
Everyone was thinking in their hearts. Nonetheless, in this short time, they could not figure out where they had heard this name.
Ou Yangming had made a name for himself in the ancient ruins. If it was the mysterious 999th powerhouse, very few powerhouses in the Zhenwu Continent would not know him. Nevertheless, the young fellow had not revealed his name at that time so not many people knew his real name.
After hearing Ou Yangming’s affirmation, the great elder of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce trembled with excitement. He pushed away Steward Mu and immediately knelt on the ground. “I’m Xu Hu. Greetings, Ruler Ming!”
Ruler Ming was the top super powerhouse in the Great Wide World.
“Ruler Ming? He’s Ruler Ming?”
The people around were shocked. It had been a few days since Ou Yangming had returned to the Zhenwu Continent, and the news from the Phoenixes had also gradually spread.
A powerhouse had single-handedly killed his way into the Phoenixes’ headquarters, and he had even escaped unscathed.
If it were in the past, such news would have spread like wildfire in the city. Despite that, recently, because of Ruler Ying’s challenges that caused a commotion, the matter had gradually lost some of its heat. Even so, most of the powerhouses had heard of this news.
Everyone looked at Ou Yangming, their eyes filled with disbelief.
He was a conferred Ruler!
‘Is there a mistake?’ Some people still did not dare to believe it.
‘How could Lord Ou Yangming be…’
Steward Mu, who had originally wanted to help the old man up, was now frozen on the side.
The old man took a deep breath and slowly said, “I’ve also participated in the ancient ruins’ Big Demons Extermination Meet. At that time, I saw your appearance from afar, so I remembered you in my heart. A few days ago, the president came here to tell me about you. Only then did I know that you’ve broken through to the third step and became a conferred mighty figure.”
After these words were said, no one dared to question it anymore.
If it was Xu Hu’s words, some people might still not believe it. If the news came from the president of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce, there must be no mistake.
“Greetings, Ruler Ming!” A group of people hurriedly knelt on the ground.
A third-step conferred Ruler was the strongest existence of the human race. He was the guardian of the people.
Such an existence would be respected no matter where he was.
Steward Mu also knelt on the ground.
Only Young Master Qiu stood there foolishly. Suddenly, a cold gaze swept over. His body trembled, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
“Greetings, sir. Sir, I was blind just now. Sir, please treat me like a fart…”
Young Master Qiu was also frightened by Xu Hu’s gaze. The great elder had lost his strength, but the power he could mobilize was enough to annihilate the Qiu family hundreds of times over.
Not to mention that there was still that young fellow.
That young fellow whom he had ridiculed for not being able to afford the Ancient Demons’ blood essences.
The young fellow whom he had questioned about the authenticity of the Raw Stone.
He was actually a legendary supreme powerhouse.
Young Master Qiu felt that he was too unlucky. His excitement from getting the rebate of 100,000 high-grade spirit coins just now had vanished at this moment.
Ou Yangming did not pay any attention to Young Master Qiu. He had seen many small figures like him, and he was not in the mood to trample him to death.
Originally, he had only planned to come out and buy some blood essences for him to fuse with the Dripping Blood Stones. He did not expect that there would be complications and that he would be recognized.
“All of you, stand up.” Ou Yangming raised his hand slightly.
Everyone felt an invisible force supporting their bodies. This force made them involuntarily stand up, and their hearts were filled with shock.
With just this move, his identity as a powerhouse was revealed without a doubt.
There were a few Rulers present. They also felt an unrivaled force forcing them to stand up. It seemed that the other party was not an existence that they could contend against.
Although the great elder’s body was not in good condition, he was very excited.
He looked at Ou Yangming and asked passionately, “I wonder why you’ve graced us with your presence, Ruler Ming. What do you need? I’ll immediately inform the president and have him come to pay his respects to you.”
“There’s no need for that.” Ou Yangming waved his hand and refused.
There were already complications. Ou Yangming did not want to expand his influence. It was not a big deal to be recognized but if everyone knew his appearance, he would have to change his appearance in the future.
Ou Yangming said indifferently, “I came here just to buy some things.”
“Buy things?” Xu Hu glanced at the people around him.
“You may all leave.” Everyone hurriedly left. Young Master Qiu glanced at Ou Yangming and saw that the other party didn’t have any intention to fuss over it. He hurriedly ran down the stairs.
“Sir, do you want me to help you deal with that guy?” Steward Mu asked in a deep voice.
“Forget it. He’s just a pitiful worm. This time, he should be taught a lesson.” Ou Yangming shook his head.
“Sir, you’re merciful,” Steward Mu said obsequiously.
Steward Mu glanced at the great elder again and said, “Ruler Ming came to our chamber of commerce to buy some Ancient Demons’ blood essences. I’ll get the people from the other branches to send them here as soon as possible.”
“Okay, sorry to trouble you.” Ou Yangming nodded.
The blood essences were something he urgently needed because only they could immediately improve his strength.
He shifted his gaze to Xu Hu and asked, “How did you get injured?”
Xu Hu’s injury was very serious. He was a powerhouse at the peak of the law boundary, but he probably could not even display the power of a Venerable One at the moment. It was a very cruel thing.
“Sir, my injuries were caused when I was in the Desolate Ancient Ruins. At that time, I was fighting with an Ancient Scorpion Demon. I killed that Ancient Demon, but I was also injured by its poison. At first, I didn’t feel anything. Later on, the situation became more serious, and none of the healing medicines had any effect. I searched through all ancient books and discovered that the scorpion is a Soul-devouring Scorpion. Its poison can devour a person’s soul. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so careless.”
Xu Hu looked regretful.
There was no cure for the Soul-devouring Scorpion’s poison. As long as there was a possibility, he would not end up like this.
The Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce was one of the top 10 chambers of commerce on the Zhenwu Continent. Furthermore, Xu Hu was the president’s friend. Since the chamber of commerce could not find a solution, one could imagine how terrifying this poison was.
“I can save your life and let you recover your original strength. My reward is all the Ancient Demons’ blood essences of the chamber of commerce.” Ou Yangming looked in front and said with a calm tone.
“What…” Xu Hu’s face was filled with shock. He raised his head, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
“Sir, is it true? Isn’t Great Elder’s injury incurable?” Steward Mu cried out involuntarily.
Steward Mu could not believe that Ou Yangming could solve a problem that even all the powers of their chamber of commerce could not solve.
“Steward Mu, don’t talk nonsense!” Xu Hu glared and said, “How can the Ruler Ming’s abilities be something you can imagine?”
A third-step conferred Ruler possessed supreme power. One possessed unfathomable abilities, which were considered divine by everyone.
The Ancient Demons’ blood essences were nothing. Xu Hu occupied 30% of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce. Even if he were to hand over all of his wealth, he would definitely agree.
Compared to his life, everything was fleeting.
As his body deteriorated, Xu Hu felt that life was more precious.
Now, Ruler Ming said that he could solve his problem and let him live. This was a good thing for Xu Hu.
Ou Yangming smiled slightly. He stretched out 3 fingers and said, “3 days. I’ll give you 3 days. I’ll stay in your chamber of commerce for these 3 days. Once I get the blood essences in 3 days, I’ll let your body recover.”
“3 days will be enough,” Xu Hu said excitedly.
“Also,” Ou Yangming took out a Juque Sword from his interspatial bag. The treasure sword emitted a brilliant light.
‘What does this mean?’ Xu Hu and Steward Mu were very puzzled. Why did Sir Ou Yangming take out a treasure sword?
They soon heard Ou Yangming’s voice.
“This is a Taoist-Tool-level Juque Sword. Help me get rid of it. You can buy it yourself or sell it to others. Then, help me buy the Ancient Demons’ blood essences from the other chambers of commerce. In 3 days, you can buy as much as you have.”
Xu Hu and Steward Mu stared at the Juque Sword on the counter with their mouths agape.
This was a Taoist Tool!
A legendary Taoist Tool!
It was the first time that the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce had encountered a Taoist Tool after so many years. Even their president’s weapon was only a Fine Grade magic treasure.
‘As expected of Ruler Ming. He actually took out a Taoist Tool and sold it…’
Xu Hu looked at the Juque Sword and gulpedr. He felt that his throat was itchy. However, he also understood that even if his strength had recovered, he was still not worthy of this treasure sword.
“Yes, sir. Within 3 days, we’ll definitely take care of everything!”
Xu Hu, not knowing where he had gotten his power from, said in a loud and clear voice.
