Chapter 551 - 323: Spirit Treasure, Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp! Tier Six Evil!

What sounded like a congratulation was actually a mockery of the white-robed youth being captured by the Nine Hordes Kingdom.

If the youth succeeded in achieving enlightenment with the Golden List and was honored as ’Duke Xirong’, he would be wholeheartedly respected.

But a youth who failed in enlightenment, who couldn’t even truss a chicken, even if given the title of Duke, is merely a scholar.

"How do you plan to congratulate?" Chu Ming looked at Yang Feng, "Master Yang, you are a powerful figure in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, a pillar of the Qin Dynasty, surely it won’t just be verbal congratulations on my return, will it?"

"..." Yang Feng was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting the youth to speak this way, "Duke Xirong, I will immediately send a message to Qin Capital, His Majesty will surely..."

"Master Yang," before Yang Feng could finish, Chu Ming waved his hand to interrupt, "His Majesty’s wishes are His Majesty’s, your congratulations are yours."

"..." Yang Feng was unwilling to say more, flipping his hand to reveal two bottles of Elixir in his palm, "These are Qi Nourishing Elixirs, they are for..."

"Master Yang, Qi Nourishing Elixirs are merely of the lowest grade, they aren’t worth much broken silver." Chu Ming added.

Greedy!

Yu Sheng and the others thought so in their hearts.

Yang Feng paused, then took out two more Treasure Medicines, "Two millennial..."

"Millennial indeed..." Chu Ming took the Treasure Medicines, weighing them in his hand, "Light, indeed very light."

Two millennial Treasure Medicines still feel light?

The hearts of Yu Sheng and the others twitched.

Normally, the Elixirs used by those in the Meridian Unlocking Realm are only five hundred years old, a millennial Treasure Medicine is only consumed when breaking through a bottleneck.

Millennial Treasure Medicines are incredibly rare.

Yang Feng’s heart instantly flared with anger, and a cold glint appeared deep in his eyes.

But, he could only hide it in his heart.

He knew very well why the white-robed youth could become a Duke at the age of seventeen. Next year, it is likely he will be inscribed again on the Golden List and achieve enlightenment anew.

This means, the white-robed youth will eventually reach the National Guardian Realm of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The future National Guardian Realm, who would dare to truly offend him?

Swoosh!

He flipped his hand, squeezing a smile onto his face, and took out two more Treasure Medicines to present: "Duke Xirong, here are two two thousand five hundred-year-old Treasure Medicines."

Two thousand five hundred years?!

Even Xiang Yue couldn’t help but be startled.

That’s almost enough.

Chu Ming took the two Treasure Medicines without weighing them further.

"Master Yang’s congratulations, I accept." He said as he put away the Treasure Medicines.

Accepting while putting away?

Xiang Yue’s mouth twitched.

"The frontline battles are intense, and Master Yang has responsibilities..." Chu Ming continued.

The intention to dismiss was very apparent.

Yang Feng bowed and cupped his hands, swishing his sleeves as he departed.

"Duke Xirong, we shall take our leave as well." Yu Sheng and the others followed, bowing and departing.

Once everyone had left, only Chu Ming, Xiang Yue, and Shen Yu remained in the hall.

"Brother Shen, take these." Chu Ming handed all four to Shen Yu, "They should fetch a good amount of silver."

He knew what Shen Yu was doing for the ordinary people of South City, so he made Yang Feng from the Astronomical Bureau bleed a little.

"Duke Xirong..."

Shen Yu looked at the Treasure Medicines with a complex expression.

Chu Ming flipped his hand again, taking out two more bottles of Elixir, "One each day, give them to County Magistrate Xiao, he should recover within half a month."

"South City was severely damaged, County Magistrate Xiao must be anxious, Brother Shen, you had better go quickly."

"...Alright." Shen Yu looked gratefully at Chu Ming, cupped his hands, and left.

"Duke Xirong, tsk tsk..." Xiang Yue’s eyes glimmered, "I have duties to attend to, I’ll take my leave."

"...Master." Chu Ming stood up, the intangible aura of authority suddenly dissipating, "Under the South City Divine Deceit Tower, an evil entity has emerged."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yue immediately ceased his teasing: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, very strong," Chu Ming’s expression was somewhat serious, "I’m afraid it’s a Tier Six."

The reason he didn’t come to the Commandery Mansion with Xiang Yue first was because he sensed the evil entity under the Divine Deceit Tower and went for an investigation.

A Tier Six Evil is not easily dealt with unless one is in the Nascent Qi Realm of the Sixth Realm, below the Martial Artist Sixth Realm Qi Sea, one would be almost certainly consumed if encountered.

If such an evil emerges and is not promptly dealt with, it won’t just threaten Xirong County, the entire Qin Dynasty could suffer.

The Qin Dynasty has two National Guardian Realm individuals, but whether there is a sixth-realm Nascent Qi Warrior, Chu Ming does not know.

Based on his knowledge, most likely not.

"A Tier Six Evil?!" Xiang Yue’s face paled, "How could there be a Tier Six Evil under the Divine Deceit Tower?!"

"It was likely suppressed there, with the big battle last night, the Black Tower collapsed, the suppressing object was lost, tens of thousands died, and the surge of blood and energy revived the evil."

Chu Ming shared his speculations.

"Moreover, the evil is still getting stronger."

It’s still getting stronger?!

Xiang Yue clenched his fists, his mind racing with possibilities, trying to find a way to deal with such an evil.

But, he was just a Martial Artist, not a Primordial Qi Warrior, how could he possibly find a way to deal with such an evil?
