Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1170: Complete Dragon Subduing Platform

Xiao Chen followed Ba Tu to Ba Tu’s old private treasury in the castle. In an old room, he saw the trash that Ba Tu mentioned: a broken bell, a large metal knob, decayed cutting tools, and all sorts of metallic balls in large numbers. action

With one glance, these were indeed trash without a doubt. However, in Xiao Chen’s eyes, they were all priceless treasures, making him somewhat happy.

How was this trash? This was a complete Dragon Subduing Platform. However, it was broken and battered. After repairing it and refining some parts, he could reassemble it and have a ready-made Dragon Subduing Platform.

The bell was the Dragon Calling Bell. Ringing it gently could summon back a fleeing Spirit Vein. With some ominous dragons, there would be no other way to get them to come meekly to the Dragon Subduing Platform. Hence, the Dragon Calling Bell was a crucial item.

The decayed cutting tools were the essence of the Dragon Subduing Platform, the Dragon Head Guillotine.

As for that large metal knob, it was the foundation of the Dragon Subduing Platform. If Xiao Chen were to forge it himself, he would need at least ten years to prepare everything.

However, these things were truly worthless to cultivators, completely useless to them.

Ordinary Geomasters would not recognize these items. Even if a Geomaster recognized them, they would be useless. One needed the Paradise Secret Canon to use them.

“That is all. Talking about it was really frustrating. My band of brothers and I risked our lives and snatched back a corpse. Unexpectedly, the spatial ring only contained a bunch of trash.” When speaking of this, Ba Tu appeared extremely depressed.

Xiao Chen reluctantly put down the Dragon Calling Bell and said, “These are not trash. They are all treasures.”

Seeing that there was no one else around, Xiao Chen told Ba Tu about the Paradise Secret Canon in detail and explained the identity of this “pile of trash.”

“I can give Brother Ba Tu a copy of the Paradise Secret Canon. As for the parts of this Dragon Subduing Platform, I hope Brother Ba Tu will do me a favor and state a price; sell them to me.”

After Ba Tu heard that, his expression changed. He said, “You are looking down on this brother of yours. Say no more. Without you making a move, my friends and I, Ba Tu, would have died in the Heavenly Starry Ocean long ago. Furthermore, Brother Xiao Chen also could have made a move and killed us, taking the corpse away for yourself.

“There is no need to say anything else. Just treat this pile of items as trash and take them away.”

Ba Tu’s generosity and straightforwardness made Xiao Chen feel somewhat embarrassed. Ba Tu did not even want a copy of the Paradise Secret Canon, and he just handed over all the Dragon Subduing Platform’s parts to Xiao Chen.

After completely reassembling the Dragon Subduing Platform, Xiao Chen would no longer have to fear those ominous dragons while seeking dragons and fixing veins.

This was very significant to Xiao Chen’s future. Even after he reached Martial Emperor and searched for King Spirit Veins, this Dragon Subduing Platform would still be of great assistance to him.

“I will not say too many words of thanks. In the future, if the Flame Rock Sovereign or Brother Ba Tu needs any help, just holler, and I will be there,” Xiao Chen said extremely seriously after putting away the parts of the Dragon Subduing Platform.

Ba Tu laughed loudly and said, “That’s good! That’s good! However, there is indeed a problem right now that I would like to trouble Brother with.”

“What problem?” Xiao Chen asked, frowning and feeling somewhat suspicious.

“What exactly is your relationship with the Holy Daughter? Don’t be in a rush to deny it. If I made that sort of joke about her and another person, she would have flipped out on the spot already. Furthermore…”

This response rendered Xiao Chen somewhat at a loss. He had thought that it was something serious. He quickly interrupted, saying, “Don’t mention this matter…”

Ba Tu raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Right, I’ll not speak of it, definitely not. I understand.”

The more Xiao Chen tried to explain, the worse the misunderstanding got. He smiled helplessly and said, “Never mind, let’s not speak about this matter anymore. Take me to get the Outstanding Talent Token, then. I plan to stay in Dark City for a while to finish reassembling the Dragon Subduing Platform before leaving.”

The dismantled Dragon Subduing Platform was made far too long ago. Several of its parts required some repair. This was a rather large project. Xiao Chen needed to buy many divine materials. With the Outstanding Talent Token, he would be able to enjoy a significant discount when he made his purchases.

Furthermore, some divine materials would not be available outside special channels. With the Outstanding Talent Token, he would have ready access to those special channels.

Ba Tu patted Xiao Chen’s shoulder and smiled. “This is easy. Come, I’ll bring you to the City Lord’s Residence now.”

As Xiao Chen strolled around in the castle, he could sense the auras of several experts, both overt and covert. Among these, one particular gaze staring at him seemed to belong to a Martial Emperor.

However, this was apparently due to Ba Tu. That gaze did not contain any malicious intent. Furthermore, it did not try to pry into Xiao Chen too deeply.

After arriving at Dark City’s City Lord’s Residence, the two easily cleared the many guards and checkpoints by relying on Ba Tu’s name.

This allowed Xiao Chen to personally feel the prestige of the identity of a Black Sea’s Great Bandit.

When the two arrived at the city affairs office, which issued the Outstanding Talent Token, and prepared to go in, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them, stopping Ba Tu.

After Ba Tu heard it, he turned his head, and his expression soured involuntarily. “Damn it! This fellow is actually here at the city affairs office as well.”

This reaction surprised Xiao Chen. Could it be that there would be some trouble in the issuance of the Outstanding Talent Token?

“Haha! Brother Ba Tu, you are here to bring someone to get an Outstanding Talent Token?”

An extraordinary young man in white with jade-like skin, giving off a sinister air, came out from the back of the city affairs office. He walked over unhurriedly with another person.

Xiao Chen sized up this person with a glance. This person’s cultivation seemed very deep, a peak Great Perfection quasi-Emperor as well. His eyes contained a boundless sword intent, making his gaze sharp enough to tear through the air.

Another peak Great Perfection quasi-Emperor outstanding young talent. This surprised Xiao Chen at first. However, after he thought about it, he remembered that of all the things the Black Sea lacked, cultivation resources were not one of them. Given that, this person’s cultivation was easy to understand.

The thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea had a very great advantage. In terms of resources, they had even more than some Holy Lands. After all, their headquarters was in the Black Sea.

The cultivation of Small Perfection quasi-Emperors and Great Perfection quasi-Emperors happened to rely on the accumulation of resources. Of course, if one’s talent was insufficient, no matter how much resources there were, these would be wasted.

To be able to use a vast amount of resources to raise one’s cultivation to peak Great Perfection quasi-Emperor in a short time was already an incredible matter.

“This person is Liu Yun, a descendant of Ku Yejian, one of the thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea. Ku Yejian ranks sixth among the Great Bandits, a Sovereign Martial Emperor who uses the sword. This person once suffered greatly at the hands of my first brother.”

Xiao Chen knew about Ba Tu’s first brother, who was an outstanding cultivator with the greatest talent among the Flame Rock Sovereign’s line. Ba Tu’s first brother was also the formal heir of the Flame Rock Sovereign, the one who would inherit the title Flame Rock Sovereign in the future.

However, as Ba Tu’s first brother was busy with cultivation, spending a lot of time in closed-door cultivation, he had a much lower profile than Ba Tu.

Liu Yun sized up Xiao Chen and said indifferently, “Not bad, Great Perfection quasi-Emperor. That is enough to meet the requirements. However, it would be hard to say whether he can obtain the Outstanding Talent Token. It looks like Brother Ba Tu will indeed need to pull some strings.”

This person behaved very arrogantly. After saying that, he turned to leave.

“Remember to tell your first brother to come out of closed-door cultivation earlier. The next Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting will be starting soon. At that time, I will personally defeat him.”

The person beside Liu Yun turned his head and glanced at Xiao Chen, revealing a faint murderous intent in his eyes. A fierce thunder fire burned in his eyes.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Why does it seem like this person has a grudge against me? If Xiao Chen recalled correctly, this was his first time meeting Liu Yun and this person.

“Liu Yun, you sissy, who says that this lord is going to pull strings? It is just an Outstanding Talent Token. My brother can easily obtain it.”

This somewhat surprised Xiao Chen. Given Ba Tu’s explosive temper, he could not endure Liu Yun’s aloof demeanor. Once agitated, Ba Tu would erupt.

Liu Yun turned around, but he did not appear angry. He smiled faintly and said, “Just this half-baked friend of yours? If he does not pull strings, he will not be able to obtain the Outstanding Talent Token. Don’t brag and end up sabotaging your friend. If not for giving your first brother face, I would have slapped you over your earlier words.”

The conflict between the Great Bandits’ descendants was actually so intense. Xiao Chen, who was standing at the side, found this strange. He felt like he had gotten embroiled in some kind of grudge.

The more Ba Tu got scolded, the more frustrated he became. He ended up cursing angrily, “Damn, do you dare to make a bet with me?! This brother of mine will definitely obtain the Outstanding Talent Token. Furthermore, his result will be even higher than that of the person you brought!”

Liu Yun said coldly, “You are really reckless. Do you know who this person beside me is? He is Xia Yang, a descendant of the legendary Thunder Fire Sovereign. He is someone who can make it into the top five of the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting.”

So, it turned out that this was the case. After Xiao Chen heard that, he finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that this person was Xia Luo’s elder brother.

No wonder this person showed such murderous intent when looking at Xiao Chen. The news of Xiao Chen teaching his younger brother and a Clan Elder a lesson on Black Water Island probably already reached his ears.

Smiling faintly, Xia Yang said, “Brother Liu, there is no need to bother with these two dancing clowns. There is no need to lower yourself to their level; just laugh it off.”

Liu Yun nodded and said, “Right. If these words were said by your first brother, Ba Yan, I might have taken them seriously. However, they came from you, Ba Tu. I just need to laugh at them.”

The two echoed one another, making Ba Tu’s complexion flush and pale. That kind of aloof contempt enraged him.

Xiao Chen stepped forward and patted Ba Tu’s shoulder. He looked directly at the two and said, “It is just getting an Outstanding Talent Token. There is no need for the two of you to mock and ridicule another. Your breadth of mind and bearing are extremely lacking; this just makes others ashamed for you!”

Liu Yun’s gaze turned cold. His eyes looked like swords, piercing towards Xiao Chen. A boundless sword intent burst out of them. This fellow’s sword soul actually reached fifty percent comprehension, far surpassing those of the same generation.

Furthermore, Liu Yun’s sword intent possessed a state that was vigorous and full of vitality, which made his sword intent flourish even more, appearing to surge boundlessly.

This gaze would have scared an ordinary person immediately, causing him to fall to the ground trembling and unable to get up.

However, Xiao Chen did not fear it at all since his saber soul had already reached seventy percent comprehension. The saber soul in his sea of consciousness moved, and he met Liu Yun’s gaze directly without moving even half a step.
