Chapter 34
“Martial Brother Li, was that not the original agreement between Minister Diwu and you?” The black outfit leader asked laughingly, “We help Minister Diwu depose Wu Yun Liang, eliminating an opposition . We will protect Beyond the Heavens Sect, making it an imperial sect . Your disciples can become officials of the court with glorious future and make their family proud!”
He smiled and continued, “Such a wonderful position, even the leader of the Sects’ Alliance would be extremely touched! How could you possibly feel that a few pieces of information such as this is worthy of a lifetime of riches?”
Li Jinsong became livid, each word was filled with anger, “The lives of my entire household are in your hands . Why bother with talk of riches?”
The black outfitted person thought for a moment and eventually lowered his voice, “In truth, Martial brother Li, I dare not hide the facts . You wanted a Thousand Year Old Crystal Mushroom… it’s really too hard to find . The Minister sent eighteen teams to search everywhere . Once it is found, it will be brought to you immediately . ”
He continued with a cheerful tone, “The Minister knew you are currently most concerned with this! Martial brother Li, you are one romantic person… such a rare and mysterious treasure between heaven and earth is the stuff of dreams and not always achievable . If Martial Brother Li does not have the patience, there’s nothing we can do . ”
With a humph, Li Jinsong said angrily, “I can wait, for a hundred years even . However, my wife cannot . She depends on it to save her life!”
“Of course, of course . That’s why even though Minister Diwu cannot send a Thousand Year Old Crystal Mushroom, he gave us Thrice-Born Pills to bring to you . ” The black outfit person laughed contentedly, “Three!”
Li Jinsong perked his head, “Really?”
Not only him but even Chu Yang, who was secretly listening was a little shocked . Thrice-Born Pills! Thousand Year Old Crystal Mushroom! These were things you could not hope to find . Why would Li Jinsong need them?
Thrice-Born Pills were not actually medicine pills but a kind of fruit from a strange tree . This tree would sprout and grow branches, but then would wilt after ten years . After twenty more years, it would sprout more branches for fifty years, making itself a small tree . At that time it would wilt for a period of fifty years, and after that, it would sprout for a third time . This time it takes two hundred years to become a fully grown tree and bloom a kind of poisonous flower . The fruits from these flowers are Thrice-Born Pills!
These fruits were the size of a grape . As for the tree, it would immediately wilt and never recover again .
Thrice born for a total of 330 years to have fruits just once . The value of such fruits was obvious, but the effectiveness as a medicine was even more so . It could be used to end chronic illnesses, to keep incurable diseases at bay, to treat serious injuries, increase internal energy, and increase life expectancy!
As for thousand years Crystal Mushroom, that was the stuff of legends… under the heavens, it was the ultimate medicine! It was said that it could save lives, regrow muscles, bones, etc… as for the specifics, even Chu Yang did not know .
However, both of these are similar in that they cure illnesses . Is it possible that Li Jinsong’s wife is sick?
This Minister Diwu was really generous . He gave Li Jinsong three Thrice-Born Pills in one shot!
“Three Thrice-Born Pill fruits, enough to keep my wife safe for three years!”
There appeared a jade box in the black outfit person’s hand . He said, “Minister Diwu said that if he cannot find Crystal Mushroom in three years, he will definitely find other ways to compensate for your loss!”
He raised his voice and said, “Minister Diwu was clear on this matter . For a thousand times, he would not deceive you in this matter! The minister said that even though both sides are in this for their own benefits, frankness and earnestness are critical! These words came straight from the minister’s mouth . ”
Li Jinsong bowed his head and said in a low, serious voice, “Thank you for the minister’s frankness and sincerity . Li Jinsong understands!”
His head was bowed down when he said this . The sky was also dark so his facial expression could not be seen… but Chu Yang, who was hiding behind a boulder sneered internally . By the sound of it, this Minister Diwu seemed great . However, adding on Li Jinsong’s words from earlier, “The lives of my entire household are in your hands . Why bother with talk of riches?” all of his praises became rotten .
It was true that Li Jinsong was greedy . However, he did not voluntarily do this; he was certainly being threatened .
The person who threatened him was the one talking about trust? If Li Jinsong truly believed in it then he must be the number one idiot under the heavens!
