Chapter 976: Chapter 633: Shaking Them Down_2
With the further strengthening by the power of the Soldier Immortal, the quality of these ice silkworm garments has been greatly enhanced, significantly improving everyone’s survival ability.
So, Qin Tian was naturally aware of how outrageous the demand for a ton of Tier Seven Ice Silkworm Silk was.
He never expected Kesler to agree. As the saying goes, set the price high before negotiations. Such a good thing, naturally the more the better. Given a chance to exploit it, he wouldn’t miss it lightly.
"One hundred kilograms? I can’t provide that!" Kesler suppressed the urge to roar and refused immediately.
One hundred kilograms, though significantly less than a ton, was still an extremely large amount, far beyond his tolerance range.
"Not even one hundred kilograms? Kesler, you really aren’t generous enough."
Qin Tian said slowly, "Then one hundred pounds, no less. If you can’t even provide that, I’ll have to question the sincerity of your cooperation, and perhaps this transaction won’t need to continue."
"One hundred pounds..."
Veins popped on Kesler’s forehead.
He knew very well that Qin Tian was taking advantage of the situation, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Alright, one hundred pounds it is. I’ll find someone to deliver it to you thereafter."
Having said this, he no longer wanted to linger, quickening his steps.
Watching Kesler’s hurriedly departing back, Qin Tian’s lips slowly curled upward.
Thinking he could use a nebulous clue to kill with a borrowed knife?
Dream on.
One hundred pounds of Tier Seven Ice Silkworm Silk is enough to craft one hundred sets of ice silkworm garments that can withstand Tier Seven attacks.
However, crafting ice silkworm garments takes time, and finding Taoist Duobao would definitely be too late. He could only seek other artifact refining experts.
Fortunately, over the past six months, various associations of the Empire had set up branches at Ice Extreme Pass. Through this, he had met many top refining masters and believed he could complete the crafting of all the ice silkworm garments before the Nine Stars Martial Arts Tournament commenced, further enhancing his subordinates’ combat power and survival ability.
"Military Lord."
At this moment, Xue Wuyang hurried toward Qin Tian, his gaze fixed on the Crimson Flame Tiger-man Daru hanging in front of Hanshuo City’s tower, he asked in a low voice, "How should we deal with this beastman?"
Qin Tian cast a casual glance at the figure on the tower and said, "Hang him there for a day first. I reckon it won’t be long before the beastmen send someone to ransom him. You set the terms, the higher the price, the better— For the beastmen’s face, no matter how high the price is, they’ll agree."
"Understood!"
Xue Wuyang nodded heavily, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.
This time, the Azure Dragon Army is about to make a fortune.
...
Soon, the front of Hanshuo City’s gate was filled with curious onlookers, a bustling crowd, their chatter rising and falling.
"Look, look, isn’t that a beastman hanging on the tower? Looks so miserable!"
"Yeah, what’s going on? How did a beastman end up hanging on Hanshuo City’s tower?"
As everyone was puzzled, a middle-aged man who had witnessed the earlier street drama spoke loudly, his tone full of pride:
"Hey, you all don’t know, do you? Just now, a group of beastmen came to Hanshuo City to cause trouble, and among them were two beastman royal family members, almost killing an innocent mother and daughter!"
He paused, raising his voice a few notches, attracting the surrounding crowd’s attention:
"But this is Ice Extreme Pass. How can beastmen be allowed to act recklessly here? Our soldiers acted swiftly, capturing this group of beastmen in no time! The one hanging on the tower is the beastman who almost murdered someone. Hanging there, he’s a warning to all outsiders that this is the consequence of causing trouble at Ice Extreme Pass!"
"What? Beastman royal family?!"
The crowd exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief.
In their minds, the beastman royal family were as unattainable as the Nine Great Holy Bloods, and they never expected them to appear around them.
"Absolutely true!"
Another bystander also shouted in agreement, his tone excited, "I saw it with my own eyes. It was the Eternal Ice Silkworm Tribe and the Purgatory White Tiger Tribe’s royal family members, looking fierce and savage, yet they were still captured by our Azure Dragon Army. Even those two royal members were taken away!"
"My heavens, our Azure Dragon Army is too courageous, aren’t they? They even dare to touch the beastman royal family!"
"So what if they’re the beastman royal family? This is the territory of our Human Empire. No matter how high their status is, if they dare to cause trouble, they will be firmly suppressed!"
"Exactly! When has our Human Empire ever bowed to beastmen? Capturing them is the right thing to do, we should deal with them like this to show them the might of Ice Extreme Pass!"
"Looks like settling in Ice Extreme Pass was the right decision. With such a strong army, our safety is truly protected!"
The crowd buzzed with discussions, their gazes falling on the unconscious, charred, and severely battered Crimson Flame Tiger-man on the tower, a sense of pride welling up in their hearts.
This is the soldier of our Human Empire!
No matter who the intruder is, no matter how noble their identity, those who intrude must be eliminated without leniency!
...
Outside the main city of Ice Extreme Pass, beneath a hidden mountain, lies an underground base exclusive to The Shadow Division.
"Military Lord!"
Li Qi stood in front of Qin Tian, his head slightly bowed.
"Li Qi, come."
Qin Tian wasted no words, waving an invisible Power of Space to envelop both himself and Li Qi.
The next second, they appeared in the core area of The Shadow Division—the Blood Pool cluster.
Looking around, numerous ancient stone blood pools were densely arrayed, expanded several times over compared to half a year ago. The pool water shimmered with a dark red sheen, and the misty Blood Qi rose delicately, intertwining into a faint blood mist that filled the entire space.
With the addition of the Demon-Ro clan, The Shadow Division’s power had advanced rapidly, and the pace of expansion had become increasingly swift over the past half-year.
Li Qi continued to employ his previous development strategy—dispatching personnel to infiltrate various intelligence and assassin organizations, precisely casting a net with Robert’s technical support, to select the top elites from these organizations.
Especially those Spiritualists without bloodlines but with rich experience, whom he personally transformed into Night Demons and incorporated under The Shadow Division.
Currently, there are more than five hundred core members of The Shadow Division personally transformed by Li Qi and possessing the silver Night Demon’s Blood; and the Night Demon Apostles derived from these core members number over twenty thousand.
This was still the result of Li Qi deliberately controlling the transformation speed and strictly selecting. If the control was lifted, this number might have increased several-fold.
Qin Tian did not linger longer, taking Li Qi to his exclusive Blood Pool.
This Blood Pool was several times larger than the others, and the Blood Qi in the pool water was so dense it almost solidified, exuding an intense dragon aura.
But for Li Qi now, ordinary Tier Seven Dragon Blood could no longer provide much benefit. Only the highly pure Tier Seven True Dragon Essence Blood could benefit him.
This time, what Qin Tian brought to Li Qi was blood even more precious than True Dragon Essence Blood.
Qin Tian slowly raised his hand, and a large mass of dark-hued blood emerged from thin air, gradually condensing in his palm, resembling a pulsating blood jade, emanating a chilling and fierce aura.
"This is..."
Possessing the Night Demon King’s Blood, Li Qi was immediately drawn to the terrifying Qi Blood Power contained in this mass of blood, his pupils slightly contracting, and a difficult-to-control hunger rising from deep within his body.
"The blood of a Tier Seven Purgatory White Tiger, with a portion of its original Essence Blood mixed in."
Seeing the longing in Li Qi’s eyes, Qin Tian’s mouth curled into a faint smile: "This is a trophy I just acquired. With it, you can successfully break through to Tier Six Nine Stars."
Tier Seven Purgatory White Tiger!
Li Qi’s throat rolled violently, the longing in his eyes growing more intense.
The Purgatory White Tiger is one of the Beastman Race’s Nine Royal Families.
In terms of the richness and purity of Qi Blood Power, the Essence Blood of the Purgatory White Tiger even surpasses most Holy Bloods.
The events that had just transpired in Hanshuo City were naturally not hidden from this intelligence leader.
But he did not expect that the Military Lord could obtain such precious Essence Blood from the Purgatory White Tiger and even specially reserved it for him.
"Thank you, Military Lord!"
Li Qi bowed deeply, his face unable to conceal his joy and gratitude.
"Go ahead."
Qin Tian lightly patted Li Qi’s shoulder, a smile on his face.
"Yes!"
Li Qi responded, raising his hand to guide the Essence Blood into his exclusive Blood Pool.
The moment the Essence Blood entered the pool, the entire water body boiled violently, the Blood Qi intensifying.
Immediately after, Li Qi leaped into the Blood Pool, like a starving giant shark, voraciously absorbing the Qi and Energy in the pool.
Qin Tian stood beside the Blood Pool, quietly observing Li Qi in the pool, sensing the ceaselessly surging aura emanating from him, and could not help but nod in satisfaction.
After absorbing this mass of Essence Blood, Li Qi would also successfully step into Tier Six Nine Stars
When the Nine Stars Meet ends smoothly, and after bathing in the Celestial Stele Light, Li Qi will have a great chance to directly break through to Tier Seven.
Sigh, the lengths he goes to for these subordinates are truly painstaking.
Qin Tian stroked his chin, sighing inwardly.
