Chapter 1674: Chapter 687: The Gift List and Enormous Risk
Xu Jin was considered to be someone who had seen much of the world.
Yet, when he looked at the gift list handed over by Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, he was still slightly surprised.
The gift was heavy.
But what was asked in return was light.
"Your Highness, are you being serious?"
"You’ve almost given me a fifth of your Yutang Royal Mansion’s assets, along with your elder sister. Considering the assets she brings with her, without doing anything, a quarter of your Yutang Royal Mansion’s wealth will be mine.
In addition, I can freely take spiritual materials from your treasure vault, and every year three treasures.
Moreover, the Yutang Association will cover all the expenses for refining and cultivating any divine skills in the future."
Shaking the gift list, Xu Jin joked with Yutang King Zhu Shizhen, "Those in the know understand you’re making a big bet, wagering on a future.
But those who don’t might think I’m the illegitimate son of the former Yutang King."
Yutang King Zhu Shizhen didn’t laugh; instead, he solemnly said, "Benefactor, these are merely worldly possessions. With power and strength, they are attainable eventually, they are not considered precious among us noble elites.
The truly priceless treasure is inheritance!"
"Inheritance?" Xu Jin was puzzled.
"Yes, this is the true grand gift I present! Benefactor should know the origins of our Yutang Royal Mansion, right?" Zhu Shizhen asked.
"I know, one of the eighteen True Monarchs who followed Emperor Dongxuan in conquest, the Jade Hall True Monarch!" Xu Jin replied.
"Indeed, but you may not know our founding True Monarch was a Nine Tribulations True Monarch, just a step away from becoming an Emperor!"
"Nine Tribulations True Monarch!" Xu Jin’s expression changed slightly.
The Nine Tribulations True Monarch was among the most prestigious True Monarchs.
"Our Zhu Family’s Nine Tribulations Jade Hall True Monarch, due to origin injuries from early battles, passed away prematurely but left behind an inheritance. Thanks to this, our Zhu family produced seventeen Star Lords in total.
Regrettably, none has attained True Monarch status since.
Otherwise, our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion would not have declined to this."
At this point, Zhu Shizhen looked somewhat helpless, "In my line, we’ve declined, relying solely on my sister’s support. Although there’s a True Monarch inheritance, our talents and cultivation are insufficient.
Thus, I’ve already convinced the family elders that if you agree to these terms and swear a Great Dao Oath, our Zhu family’s treasured Jade Hall True Monarch inheritance will be unconditionally open to you.
You may access it for enlightenment up to twice."
After speaking, Zhu Shizhen added another point, "This limit is set because every activation of my Zhu family’s Jade Hall True Monarch inheritance consumes its origin power, so the total number of activations is limited.
Even my sister and I combined had no more than three insights."
Previously, the gift list only piqued Xu Jin’s interest, but now, Zhu Shizhen’s offer truly tempted him.
Xu Jin didn’t lack inheritance.
With Qi Sha inheritance, his master’s Emperor Fenghua inheritance was a given, and he would have future chances to glimpse Emperor Dongxuan’s inheritance too.
Yet, as his master Emperor Fenghua said, mastering a variety of strengths leads to surpassing former masters with new heights.
This concept was clear to Xu Jin; standing on the shoulders of giants when researching and breaking through often yields better results.
"What does the Jade Hall True Monarch inheritance contain?" Xu Jin asked.
"Everything! Besides the complete cultivation inheritance left by my ancestor, the Jade Hall True Monarch, there are various cultivation manuals and insights, as well as the Yan Dao Pearl and Blood Crystal, left behind from the dissolution of his lifebound killing artifact.
The Yan Dao Pearl can be used up to two times within a decade, and then once every ten years after.
As for the Blood Crystal, Benefactor can only use it once as its usable times are limited." Zhu Shizhen explained.
Xu Jin frowned upon hearing this. He knew about the Yan Dao Pearl; his master Emperor Fenghua had mentioned it. It aids Tenth Rank Star Monarchs in breakthroughs or condensing divine skills, a very precious resource.
However, Xu Jin had never heard of the Blood Crystal before, nor did he know its function.
"Benefactor, the Blood Crystal is similar to the Enlightenment Stone, but it’s more precious and rare.
When a True Monarch expert passed away, they condensed their Dao epitome with essence blood, including their process and insights in becoming a Star Lord.
If used by a top Star Lord, it can enhance their likelihood of becoming a True Monarch, even triggering their opportunity to achieve this." Zhu Shizhen explained.
Hiss!
Xu Jin couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air.
This was indeed a priceless gem.
Though Star Lords were few, there were still many more comparatively.
However, True Monarch experts were very rare.
In the current Dongxuan Star Realm, Xu Jin knew of only a handful among hundreds of Star Lords.
Thus, a Blood Crystal that could only be produced by a True Monarch was incredibly precious.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jin stood attentively and once again scrutinized the requirements put forth by the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion.
There were four conditions.
First: Naturally, to marry the eldest princess of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, Zhu Linxiao, in a public announcement.
Second: Before reaching the Tenth Rank Star Lord, Xu Jin needs only to cultivate. After breaking through, he needs to serve as the nominal Great General of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion for a hundred years.
Third: Regardless of Xu Jin’s future cultivation level, if the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion requests, Xu Jin needs to assist them unconditionally for five times.
Fourth: If Xu Jin attains True Monarch, he needs to accept two disciples from the Zhu family of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion as True Disciples.
