"A Golden Immortal treasure can be grantedâbut if you wish to receive an additional reward, it will depend on your performance during the operation."
As the crowd reeled from the shock, Elder Zhechuan spoke again, causing everyone to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Clearly, while Zhetian Celestial Sect could indeed afford the price of a weapon-class Golden Immortal treasure, it wasnât something theyâd hand out lightlyâespecially not for someone merely assisting from the sidelines.
Still, by saying it depended on oneâs performance during the mission, they hadnât closed the door. It left Hao Shen Daxian with a glimmer of hope.
This was how major powers manipulated peopleâs heartsâwith both stick and carrot.
Hearing this, all eyes turned toward Hao Shen Daxian. His gaze flickered with faint disappointment, but it still burned with greedy heat. After a brief pause, he nodded and said:
"Very well! As Elder Zhechuan said!"
"If I contribute greatly during the suppression, I hope your sect will notâ"
His real intention had been to drive a hard bargain. Now that Zhetian had agreed to his expectations, he knew better than to push his luck further.
"Hmph."
Elder Zhechuan snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Then, to everyoneâs surprise, he pulled a ball of radiant immortal light from his robes and flung it toward Hao Shen Daxian.
"Hmm?"
Of course, this wasnât an attack out of dissatisfaction. As the glowing object hovered in front of Hao Shen, it revealed itself to be a treasure radiating sacred brillianceâan ancient mirror, blood-red in hue, reflecting a dangerous aura.
"This item is the Dragonblood Treasure Mirror. It is a Golden Immortal-grade artifact that can refine all things into dragonblood force, which may then be wielded to strike foes."
"This treasure is yours to use for now. If you fulfill the conditions, it will serve as your reward."
Elder Zhechuanâs solemn voice echoed through the hall, leaving Hao Shen Daxian and the others stunned once again.
This gesture of granting a powerful weapon upfront showcased the terrifying foundation and haughty confidence of Zhetian Celestial Sect.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"With such generosity, I shall give my all to help your sect suppress this Soul Beast Tide!"
Hao Shen Daxian immediately broke into gleeful laughter, storing the mirror into his robes, utterly satisfied and no longer making demands.
"Alright, letâs proceed."
Zhechuan nodded indifferently and turned toward the other Golden Immortals who had yet to name their terms.
Soon, under Zhetianâs unexpectedly generous and decisive attitude, both Old Man Yunshi and Xianjiang Daxian had their requests met as well.
The former, like Hao Shen, asked for a Golden Immortal treasure and was granted a defensive treasureâthe Crushing Earth Immortal Seal.
The latter requested a Golden Immortal Breakthrough Pill, intended to help him advance to mid-stage Golden Immortal. Zhechuan agreed without hesitation.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became fervent. Everyone now held supreme treasures in their hands, full of satisfaction and surging with battle intent.
They could hardly wait to march on the Deep Earth Forbidden Zone and clash with the Soul Beast Tide in a life-and-death battle.
One had to admitâwith an employer as sincere and generous as Zhetian Celestial Sect, even these old monsters couldnât help but feel a trace of loyalty.
"And you, Lord of Haoran?"
Next, Elder Zhechuan turned to Jiang Chengxuan, his voice steady and his gaze sharpening.
Among all the Golden Immortals present, Jiang Chengxuan was undoubtedly the most prominent. Zhechuan had heard the rumorsâhow he had slain the Arterial Blood Demon Immortal. That story had long since reached Zhetianâs ears.
As a rising Golden Immortal, Jiang had overthrown an entire power structure with overwhelming strength. Naturally, someone like Zhechuan would be curious about him.
"Heh, my request is quite simpleâI want... a thread of Xianluo Dao Crystal."
Jiang Chengxuanâs cheerful voice stunned the room.
Zhechuan and ZherĂŹ both frowned, pupils narrowing sharply.
Even Hao Shen Daxian, who had initially driven the hardest bargain, was momentarily dumbfounded.
This kid... is he even bolder than me!?
"Xianluo Dao Crystal?! Do you even know what that is, boy?!"
At that moment, ZherĂŹ, who had remained silent until now, couldnât help but grow agitated, barking at Jiang.
Yet before he could go further, Zhechuan raised a hand to interrupt, gazing solemnly at Jiang as he asked in a low voice:
"Quite the appetite... Xianluo Dao Crystalâour sect does possess some, but even if we gave it to you, what use would it be?"
Xianluo Dao Crystal was an extremely rare celestial material, only formed in certain parts of ancient forbidden zones. Its primary use?
âTo aid in breaking through to the Grand Luo realm.
Zhechuanâs words made his meaning clear: Jiang Chengxuanâs current realm wasnât yet worthy of such a supreme treasure.
But Jiang simply smiled, neither angry nor hurried.
Instead, he stared into Zhechuanâs eyes, his gaze sharp as a blade. And thenâ
His aura surged violently in that instant, shaking the entire hall to its core!
But it disappeared just as quickly, vanishing without a trace.
Even so, in that fleeting moment, everyone had sensed a terrifying pressure.
Though they couldnât fully gauge Jiangâs exact realm, one thing was certainâhis strength surpassed them.
The hall fell utterly silent.
Even ZherĂŹ closed his mouth, casting a look of dread and shock toward Jiang Chengxuan.
As for Zhechuanâhis face froze.
Because he alone had clearly sensed Jiang Chengxuanâs cultivation.
It was... Peak Golden Immortalâthe same level as him.
