873 A Small Windfall, Dragon Tendon and Tiger Bone (2)

Ji Lutian smiled and didn’t say anything to Zheng Jingyun. It was useless to say anything to a person like Zheng Jingyun. As long as he knew his weakness, he could naturally lead him by the nose.

Zhou Shu said to Ji Lutian, “Alright, go find your people. I’ll wait for you here. Come find me when you’ve found everyone.”

Since Ji Lutian wanted to go and find more people to join his Dao of Incense, he could do so himself. This had nothing to do with Zhou Shu, and he had no intention of getting involved.

With this time, he might as well forge a few more connate divine weapons.

“There’s no need to wait. There’s one in front of us,” Ji Lutian said with a smile as his gaze landed on Zheng Chengan.

“Surnamed Ji, are you trying to trick the Zheng family?” Zheng Jingyun said angrily. “No, absolutely not! I joined you because I didn’t have a choice. Little An must not fall into your hands!”

“Brother Zheng, you’ve got it wrong. I have no selfish motives.” Ji Lutian shook his head.

Zheng Chengan looked puzzled. “What are you talking about?”

Ji Lutian walked past Zheng Jingyun and said with a smile, “Brother Zheng, do you want to become stronger?”

“Ji Lutian!” Zheng Jingyun’s aura exploded.

Zhou Shu instantly retreated hundreds of meters. He didn’t want to be implicated.

…

After about two hours, Ji Lutian walked out of the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s forging workshop with a smile.

From the looks of it, he had succeeded.

Zhou Shu sighed. Ji Lutian has planned for thousands of years and is definitely more confident than I imagined.

Previously, he had thought that it was wishful thinking for Ji Lutian to want there to be no Grotto-Geaven realm experts in the world. Now, it seemed that Ji Lutian was indeed not an ordinary person.

He had so easily convinced Zheng Jingyun and Zheng Chengan. Others might not be able to withstand his persuasion.

“Mr. Ji, your idea might really come true,” Zhou Shu said while following Ji Lutian to the next place.

“Man proposes, God disposes.” Ji Lutian smiled bitterly. “It’s hard to say if it will work yet.”

“It’s really up to Heaven,” Zhou Shu said. “But aren’t you afraid that when all the Grotto-Heaven realm experts of the human race cut down their cultivation, if something happens to the Dao of Incense, won’t the human race become cattle waiting to be slaughtered?”

“I’ve studied the Dao of Incense for thousands of years. There won’t be any problems.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “And since I want to negotiate with Heaven, I naturally have a backup plan.”

Ji Lutian smiled mysteriously. He naturally didn’t tell Zhou Shu what he had up his sleeve.

Zhou Shu didn’t ask. He didn’t agree with Ji Lutian’s method of negotiating.

There was a fundamental conflict between the two sides. How could they resolve it just by talking?

Even if the human race no longer had Grotto-Heaven realm experts, as long as the human race was still around, it was possible for Grotto-Heaven realm experts to appear again. If Zhou Shu were Heaven, he would choose to eliminate them completely.

Only by completely eliminating the human race could there be no future troubles.

In the end, only with absolute strength would one have the absolute right to speak.

If humans wanted to survive in the world, they shouldn’t rely on wagging their tails and begging for mercy from Heaves. Instead, they should beat Heavens into submission until it no longer dared to have any ideas about the human race.

These were Zhou Shu’s thoughts.

“I’m glad you have a backup plan,” Zhou Shu said. “Mr. Ji, let’s be candid here. I don’t object to you spreading your Dao of Incense, but you can’t touch the people of Great Xia and Great Qin.”

“Don’t worry. My target is the Grotto-Heaven realm experts. I won’t spread the incense mystic technique to the people of Great Xia and Great Qin,” Ji Lutian said.

“Just because you won’t do it doesn’t mean that the Grotto-Heaven realm experts you persuade won’t do it,” Zhou Shu said. “When you teach them the incense technique, it’s best to inform them.”

The incense technique relied on the power of people’s faith to cultivate. In other words, the more people who believed in someone, the stronger they would be. The more people who cultivated the incense technique, the more conflicts there would be for believers.

In Zhou Shu’s opinion, this wasn’t a good thing. He couldn’t oversee other places, but Great Xia and Great Qin were under his protection. He definitely wouldn’t allow those people to compete for believers among the citizens of Great Xia and Great Qin.

“I’ll inform them.” Ji Lutian nodded. “By the way, King Zhou, did the divine iron I left in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court fall into your hands?”

“No.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “But if I’m not wrong, it should have fallen into Bai Qianqian’s hands.”

“I was wondering why you asked me if I knew Bai Qianqian.” Ji Lutian nodded. “My fourth forging material has something to do with the divine iron in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.”

“Oh?” Zhou Shu said.

Ji Lutian looked at Zhou Shu and asked, “Since you didn’t obtain the divine iron I left in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, I wonder if you know its characteristics?”

“No.” Zhou Shu shook his head. What he had seen was the Tiger Soul Saber forged by Bai Qianqian. At the time, he didn’t analyze the structure of the Tiger Soul Saber.

“That piece of divine iron was forged into a saber,” Zhou Shu said. “If I analyze the characteristics of that saber…”

Zhou Shu pondered. “What you left in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court should be a material similar to the paragon bone. It should come from some demonic beast.”

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.” Ji Lutian nodded. “There’s a reason why I placed it in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.

“Back then, I encountered a true dragon and a white tiger fighting. They were both extremely powerful demonic beasts, and the two of them perished together. I obtained these two forging materials from the true bodies they left behind.

“One of them was a tiger bone from the white tiger. I placed it in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. He died at the hands of the true dragon. With the stimulation of the dragon qi, it could allow the tiger bone to be deeply smelted.”

“Then, the fourth forging material came from the true dragon?” Zhou Shu pondered.

“That’s right. It’s a dragon tendon.” Ji Lutian smiled. “I originally wanted to fuse the dragon tendon and tiger bone together. But I later realized that the characteristics between them were irreconcilable, and it would be wasteful if I did that, so I smelted them separately.

“Now that the tiger bone is gone, let’s hope the dragon tendon is still there.”

Ji Lutian felt a little regretful.

Although tiger demons were not rare, it wasn’t easy to find one as powerful as the tiger demon back then.

In a sense, that tiger bone could only be chanced upon by luck. It was a pity to lose it.

“Dragon tendon?” Zhou Shu said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s gone. Isn’t it easy to obtain a dragon tendon? I remember that the Demon King Ao Guang who appeared on the battlefield is a true dragon. If you beat him to death, you can extract his dragon tendon from him.”

Ji Lutian: “…”

It made sense, but was Demon King Ao Guang so easy to kill?

He might be the most powerful heavenly slave in the Demon Realm now. His cultivation might not be inferior to Wang Xuanyi’s.

“I’ll think about killing Ao Guang later. Even if I can kill him, his dragon tendon won’t be better than the one I’ve smelted for thousands of years.” Ji Lutian smiled and shook his head. “Why don’t you think about what kind of divine weapon this dragon tendon can forge? Its characteristics are special. If you don’t forge it well, you might waste it.”

“Don’t worry. It won’t be wasted,” Zhou Shu said confidently. “As for the dragon tendon, I have an idea. But this time, you can’t let me use my materials. Mr. Ji, prepare the forging materials. I promise to give you a connate divine weapon that satisfies you. If you have a Divine Stone, I can forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon for you!”
