King of Creation Chapter 2097 - 2082: Blood Refining Martial Soul Bead

The Chief Eunuch Yu Chaoen handed over to Ye Zhen only the highly powerful, strategic type of weaponry, along with five thousand sets of armor at the low grade suppressing artifact level.

And a vast amount of healing pills, as well as numerous large-scale military talisman scrolls.

Ye Zhen roughly estimated that the quantity of these strategic weapons could be used to arm at least five corps of one hundred thousand soldiers each.

Because according to the military system of the Great Zhou, a corps of one hundred thousand soldiers could be allocated one hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows.

Furthermore, there was a vast quantity of crossbow bolts blessed and refined by the priests of the Ancestor God Temple of Great Zhou, with various attributes, whose value was beyond imagination.

With such a vast amount of weaponry, Yu Chaoen, the Chief Eunuch, might manage to get it, but he definitely wouldn’t dare.

If this matter were to be exposed, even with Yu Chaoen’s power, the Benevolent Emperor would destroy his household and clan.

These are military arms that even the main force of the Imperial Guard of Great Zhou hasn’t been equipped with, not even Princess Changle has such influence.

Therefore, this matter can only come from one person’s intent.

The Holy Son of Heaven, Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long of Great Zhou!

Only this Holy Son of Heaven possesses such capability.

Without the nod from the Holy Son of Heaven, even with a knife at Yu Chaoen’s throat, he would not do such a thing.

Yu Chaoen has always taken special care of Ye Zhen due to Princess Changle, but always within a principled boundary.

So, why is the Holy Son of Heaven, Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long, proactively giving Ye Zhen such a vast amount of strategic weaponry, what does he intend for Ye Zhen to do?

In an instant, Ye Zhen felt the storage ring in his hand becoming intensely hot, as heavy as a mountain!

At that moment, if given a choice, Ye Zhen wished he could throw all these items away. Even the most advanced strategic weapons, he could not accept now.

Over the years, Ye Zhen has come to understand one truth: with people of equal status, you must reciprocate with equivalent value for benefits received.

With people of much higher status, even if you receive double the benefit, you might have to return tenfold or even hundredfold of the benefits.

Ye Zhen feels that Ren Venerate Emperor is initiating a goodwill gesture, signaling that he aims for Ye Zhen to devote himself.

But the problem is, Ye Zhen does not have the right to refuse.

Upon carefully inventorying the resources inside the storage ring, the more Ye Zhen looked, the more shocked he became.

Suddenly, a thought struck Ye Zhen’s mind, and with a flash of light in the room, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu of the Celestial Patrol Division appeared out of nowhere, just like the little eunuch disappearing without any sign earlier.

"Heh, kept you waiting, didn’t I!" Wu Yu, despite being the Grand Celestial Official, was rather easygoing in front of Ye Zhen.

"Not at all, I wonder what orders you have for your subordinate, sir?" Ye Zhen asked diligently.

The Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu chuckled, "It’s no big deal, since you’re heading to the Human Demon Battlefield this time, you are the nail I’ve painstakingly driven into the West Patrol, can’t have you lost there.

I thought I should support you somehow. Here, take this!"

While speaking, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu took out a storage ring and handed it over, saying, "I don’t have much to give you, and the personnel within my Celestial Patrol Division are very limited.

So, I am giving you one thousand Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads, and ten Heavenly Patrol Divine General Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads, to lend you a hand in strengthening your survival ability on the battlefield!"

"Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads? These really exist?" Ye Zhen gasped sharply.

The Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu squinted and smiled, "Of course they exist!"

"In this world, many things spoken of in legends are indeed real, but many things require reaching a certain level before you can come into contact with them.

These Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads, even within my Celestial Patrol Division, are classified as absolute secrets!"

The astonishment in Ye Zhen’s eyes deepened.

According to rumors, the Blood Refining Martial Soul Bead is an ancient secret technique, wherein through long-term consumption of various secret pills, a martial artist’s entire lifetime cultivation, battle intent, combat skills, and part of the divine soul origin are all condensed and compacted into one Blood Refining Martial Soul Bead.

Afterward, as long as a martial artist who practices the same cultivation technique consumes and refines this Blood Refining Martial Soul Bead, they can gain the entire cultivation condensed within it rapidly.

It’s a supreme secret method to quickly produce masters.

However, the journey of cultivation for those masters achieved through such quick means would be several times more challenging than other martial artists, especially when breaking through the Grand Realm.

And one thousand Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads, along with ten Heavenly Patrol Divine General Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads, symbolizes expanding Ye Zhen’s forces by a thousand Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters and ten Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals.

Especially the mysterious and elusive techniques of the Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals and Hunters can definitely present unimaginable effects.

The Heavenly Patrol Divine General could even intimidate typical Dao Realm experts.

However...

Looking at the storage ring Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu offered, Ye Zhen hesitated to reach for it.

Previously receiving a vast amount of strategic weaponry from Yu Chaoen, now with the precious Blood Refining Martial Soul Beads from Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu, Ye Zhen sees this as Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long mobilizing him for national allegiance.

Ye Zhen currently does not wish to pledge allegiance to the nation.

Seeing Ye Zhen hesitating to take the storage ring, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu was not upset and placed the storage ring on a small table beside him.

"Ye Zhen, it seems you’ve already realized?"

"Yes, I am afraid, afraid of not being able to bear the heavy responsibility given by His Majesty!"

"I think you’re just afraid of dying, aren’t you?" Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu sneered coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen remained silent.

Ye Zhen wasn’t afraid of death, but he wasn’t foolish.

So, when it’s time to be afraid, he must be afraid.

Even the Ren Venerate Emperor had to carefully plan this; imagine how terrifying the involved matters must be?

If someone like Ye Zhen gets it wrong, he’ll be devoured without even leaving a bone fragment.

"Do you think that by not accepting these items, you’ll have it easy when you arrive at the Human Demon Battlefield? That’s Prince Lik’s territory; do you think he’ll let you off easily?" Grand Celestial Official snorted coldly.

Ye Zhen forced a smile on his face that looked worse than crying, "But, sir, it’s true I’m scared. If I die, that’s not important. I’m afraid of delaying His Majesty’s grand plan!"

"Hmph, in the end, you’re still afraid of death!"

"Today’s Emperor is a benevolent ruler. Otherwise, controlling you could be done with a simple decree; there’s no need to bestow you with such a vast amount of life-saving items.

In the end, it’s still out of care for you."

"You decide whether to receive the secret decree from me now or wait for His Majesty’s open decree at the Human Demon Battlefield later?" Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu straightforwardly gave Ye Zhen a choice.

Ye Zhen’s expression grew even more bitter. Did he really have a choice?

Facing the emperor’s order when arriving at the Human Demon Battlefield, he would be under intense public scrutiny. It’s better to receive the secret decree now.

"I choose to accept the secret decree!" Ye Zhen replied, looking helpless.

"That’s more like it!"

Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu smiled as he handed the storage ring containing the Blood Refining Martial Soul Pearl to Ye Zhen.

"His Majesty, being generous, still cherishes you greatly."

Ye Zhen gritted his teeth and suddenly spoke, "Sir, I have a request!"

"A request?"

Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu frowned and said, "Speak, but don’t be too outrageous. Keep in mind, His Majesty has already bestowed so many protective and life-saving items."

"Essence Blood, Dragon Clan Essence Blood!"

"I need a large amount of Dragon Clan Essence Blood!" Ye Zhen stated.

Upon hearing this, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu immediately smiled, "I thought it was a big deal. Isn’t it just Dragon Clan Essence Blood? This small matter, I can decide.

Is one million barrels enough? One million barrels of Ying Dragon Essence Blood. If that’s not enough, we can double it!"

"Sir, I don’t want Ying Dragon Essence Blood; it’s useless to me. I want Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Divine Dragon, or the Ancient Dragon Clan’s Essence Blood."

Ye Zhen’s words shocked Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu, "Are you kidding? Asking for Ancient Dragon Clan Essence Blood? In today’s world, Five-clawed Golden Dragon and Divine Dragon Essence Blood are as rare as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects."

"But, only Dragon Clan Essence Blood of this grade is useful to me. Ying Dragon Essence Blood, I can buy it at the Market of North Sea," Ye Zhen explained.

"Sir, this is my only request!" Ye Zhen emphasized again.

"This..." Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu showed a difficult expression, "Even I can’t decide this, but I’ll run this errand for you and ask His Majesty."

"Thank you, sir!"

Previously, Ye Zhen used Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood to cultivate the Black Dragon Tyrant Body to the Third Stage, developing the Dragon Scale False Body. If he reaches the Fourth Stage, he can condense the Dragon Soul and forge the Dragon Body, then Ye Zhen’s physical strength will multiply exponentially.

Moreover, in the Ancient Black Dragon’s legacy, once the Dragon Soul is condensed and the Dragon Body is forged, Ye Zhen will possess divine abilities unique to the Ancient Dragon Clan, which are incredibly powerful.

But members of the Five-clawed Dragon Clan are immensely strong; encountering an adolescent Five-clawed Silver Dragon last time was pure luck.

In the short term, Ye Zhen has no chance to obtain a large quantity of high-quality Dragon Clan Essence Blood.

However, things are different with Benevolent Emperor Ji Long of Great Zhou.

The Great Zhou Empire is wealthy and has accumulated riches over tens of thousands of years, to an extent even the Benevolent Emperor Ji Long might not fully know.

Now that Benevolent Emperor Ji Long wants Ye Zhen to serve him, Ye Zhen taking this opportunity to ask for some isn’t unreasonable, provided he can pull it off.

Of course, this is Ye Zhen being incredibly bold; if it were anyone else, daring to ask might be another matter entirely.

This time, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu took a full two hours before returning.

Upon returning, he tossed two rings to Ye Zhen with annoyance, "You’re lucky, kid, demanding from His Majesty directly like that, who would have thought His Majesty agreed."

"A hundred barrels of Ancient Divine Dragon Essence Blood, ten thousand barrels of Five-clawed Golden Dragon Essence Blood, and a million barrels of Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood. This is the limit of what the Imperial Palace Treasure Vault can offer.

Especially Ancient Divine Dragons and Five-clawed Golden Dragons, they are becoming increasingly scarce, with fewer chances to harvest their Essence Blood. The palace stock is not plentiful, you know. When I went to retrieve them, the Grand Eunuch at the Treasure Bureau had a face like a bitter gourd!" Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu said.

Ye Zhen was overjoyed upon hearing this.
