873 A Small Windfall, Dragon Tendon and Tiger Bone (2)
Ji Lutian smiled and didnât 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, âAlright, go find your people. Iâll wait for you here. Come find me when youâve found everyone.â
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.
âThereâs no need to wait. Thereâs one in front of us,â Ji Lutian said with a smile as his gaze landed on Zheng Chengan.
âSurnamed Ji, are you trying to trick the Zheng family?â Zheng Jingyun said angrily. âNo, absolutely not! I joined you because I didnât have a choice. Little An must not fall into your hands!â
âBrother Zheng, youâve got it wrong. I have no selfish motives.â Ji Lutian shook his head.
Zheng Chengan looked puzzled. âWhat are you talking about?â
Ji Lutian walked past Zheng Jingyun and said with a smile, âBrother Zheng, do you want to become stronger?â
âJi Lutian!â Zheng Jingyunâs aura exploded.
Zhou Shu instantly retreated hundreds of meters. He didnât want to be implicated.

After about two hours, Ji Lutian walked out of the Sima Grotto-Heavenâs 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.
âMr. Ji, your idea might really come true,â Zhou Shu said while following Ji Lutian to the next place.
âMan proposes, God disposes.â Ji Lutian smiled bitterly. âItâs hard to say if it will work yet.â
âItâs really up to Heaven,â Zhou Shu said. âBut arenât 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, wonât the human race become cattle waiting to be slaughtered?â
âIâve studied the Dao of Incense for thousands of years. There wonât be any problems.â Ji Lutian shook his head. âAnd since I want to negotiate with Heaven, I naturally have a backup plan.â
Ji Lutian smiled mysteriously. He naturally didnât tell Zhou Shu what he had up his sleeve.
Zhou Shu didnât ask. He didnât agree with Ji Lutianâs 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 shouldnât 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 Shuâs thoughts.
âIâm glad you have a backup plan,â Zhou Shu said. âMr. Ji, letâs be candid here. I donât object to you spreading your Dao of Incense, but you canât touch the people of Great Xia and Great Qin.â
âDonât worry. My target is the Grotto-Heaven realm experts. I wonât spread the incense mystic technique to the people of Great Xia and Great Qin,â Ji Lutian said.
âJust because you wonât do it doesnât mean that the Grotto-Heaven realm experts you persuade wonât do it,â Zhou Shu said. âWhen you teach them the incense technique, itâs best to inform them.â
The incense technique relied on the power of peopleâs 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 Shuâs opinion, this wasnât a good thing. He couldnât oversee other places, but Great Xia and Great Qin were under his protection. He definitely wouldnât allow those people to compete for believers among the citizens of Great Xia and Great Qin.
âIâll inform them.â Ji Lutian nodded. âBy the way, King Zhou, did the divine iron I left in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court fall into your hands?â
âNo.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âBut if Iâm not wrong, it should have fallen into Bai Qianqianâs hands.â
âI was wondering why you asked me if I knew Bai Qianqian.â Ji Lutian nodded. âMy fourth forging material has something to do with the divine iron in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.â
âOh?â Zhou Shu said.
Ji Lutian looked at Zhou Shu and asked, âSince you didnât obtain the divine iron I left in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, I wonder if you know its characteristics?â
âNo.â Zhou Shu shook his head. What he had seen was the Tiger Soul Saber forged by Bai Qianqian. At the time, he didnât analyze the structure of the Tiger Soul Saber.
âThat piece of divine iron was forged into a saber,â Zhou Shu said. âIf I analyze the characteristics of that saberâŠâ
Zhou Shu pondered. âWhat you left in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court should be a material similar to the paragon bone. It should come from some demonic beast.â
âI knew I couldnât hide it from you.â Ji Lutian nodded. âThereâs a reason why I placed it in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
âBack 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.
âOne 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.â
âThen, the fourth forging material came from the true dragon?â Zhou Shu pondered.
âThatâs right. Itâs a dragon tendon.â Ji Lutian smiled. âI 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.
âNow that the tiger bone is gone, letâs hope the dragon tendon is still there.â
Ji Lutian felt a little regretful.
Although tiger demons were not rare, it wasnât 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.
âDragon tendon?â Zhou Shu said. âIt doesnât matter if itâs gone. Isnât 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.â
Ji Lutian: ââŠâ
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 Xuanyiâs.
âIâll think about killing Ao Guang later. Even if I can kill him, his dragon tendon wonât be better than the one Iâve smelted for thousands of years.â Ji Lutian smiled and shook his head. âWhy donât you think about what kind of divine weapon this dragon tendon can forge? Its characteristics are special. If you donât forge it well, you might waste it.â
âDonât worry. It wonât be wasted,â Zhou Shu said confidently. âAs for the dragon tendon, I have an idea. But this time, you canât 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!â
