Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 510: Chapter 329: Harvesting qi movement seeds, reaching the state of Dharma Phase 8, offering body in exchange? (Chapters 2 and 1 combined, asking for monthly tickets!)
 

A moment later.

Everyone slowly descended from the warship.

Jiang Yuan and Zhou Wei were at the front, with Zhou Wei half a step behind.

The others were even further behind, with Shu Xiaoxiao keeping close to Jiang Yuan.

The radiant elder quickened his pace and stepped forward.

“The old man Zhou Ling greets Daoist Friend Jiang!”

Then he continued, “Daoist Friend Jiang, please follow me. The resources from the Imperial treasury and the materials for exterminating the major Sects have all been prepared for you!”

Hearing Zhou Ling’s words, Jiang Yuan looked at him with sudden surprise.

Was the Grand Ancestor of the Zhou Clan really being so cooperative?

Could there be a trap?

A sense of caution suddenly arose in Jiang Yuan’s heart.

Zhou Ling laughed and said, “Daoist Friend Jiang, please.”

Jiang Yuan nodded as well, “Please.”

They say one should not strike a smiling face. Since this Ancestral Master Zhou Ling was so cooperative, Jiang Yuan could not very well do as Zhou Wei had suggested and create a scene here to intimidate them.

Walking side by side with Zhou Ling, Jiang Yuan extended his divine sense, repeatedly probing his surroundings and not daring to let his guard down.

Elsewhere.

Zhou Tuo looked at Jiang Yuan, his heart full of mixed feelings.

Just a few years ago, he and his uncle, Zhou Xiong, ascended the Supreme Mystery Sect with the intention of sweeping away the younger generation of the sect, enhancing the qi movement of the Imperial Family, and making some merit.

He didn’t expect to be defeated by Jiang Yuan.

At that time, he was still able to fight Jiang Yuan!

But now, almost three years had passed in a flash.

He was still nameless and merely in the Spiritual Sea Realm, not even qualified to be placed on the Heavenly Ranking.

Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, was on par with the grand ancestor and had even made it onto the Supreme Ranking, ranking among the top hundred heaven geniuses of this generation.

What a gap!

Watching the two grow further away, he felt a mix of emotions.

Zhou Xiong at his side seemed to sense his inner thoughts and patted him on the shoulder.

“Don’t take him as the target you’re pursuing!”

“Based on his performance two days ago, if what the King of Divine Power says is true, his talents are enough to rank among the top twenty, even the top ten would not be an exaggeration!”

“He is not of our realm!”

Zhou Tuo nodded, “Uncle, I understand. But seeing the man who competed with me three years ago, now someone I can only look up to, is hard to accept.”

Hearing his nephew’s words, Zhou Xiong couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

He felt the same!

That day, he had taken Zhou Tuo to the Supreme Mystery Sect in great pomp.

Jiang Yuan was nothing more than standing like a flunky!

But now, their roles had reversed, and he could only look at Jiang Yuan from among the crowd like a flunky!

He didn’t even have the qualifications to greet Jiang Yuan!

Jiang Yuan didn’t even notice him!

How sad!

…

Jiang Yuan and Zhou Ling were walking ahead, with everyone following behind.

After his divine sense had scanned several times, Jiang Yuan felt a bit surprised.

This Grand Ancestor of the Zhou Clan seemed to have no other intentions indeed!

His divine sense was now able to cover the entire Imperial City.

Under his divine sense, he didn’t detect any abnormalities!

There were no tricks!

Jiang Yuan then said, “Daoist Friend Zhou Ling, do you really trust the message the King of Divine Power sent you that much?”

Zhou Ling laughed, “Originally I didn’t believe it very much, but when I received word from the outpost at Yunxiao City that Your Excellency is now on the Supreme Ranking, I knew that what the King of Divine Power said is probably true.”

“Under such circumstances, whether Zhou Yao has Demon Tribe blood is no longer important.”

Hearing Zhou Ling admit this frankly, Jiang Yuan realized that this Grand Ancestor of the Zhou Clan was not an ordinary figure; he was shrewd and ruthless.

Jiang Yuan continued, “How does Daoist Friend Zhou Ling feel about Zhou Ying ascending to the throne of the Human King?”

“I unconditionally support this decision of yours! As for the Royal Family of Zhou, I believe no one will oppose my opinion.”

Zhou Ling declared confidently.

The King of Divine Power, who was nearby, heard this and felt as if he were seeing his ancestral master anew.

Zhou Ling had always had a low profile in his heart.

He was always in seclusion, heard of, but rarely seen.

His words didn’t hold much weight within the Royal Family of Zhou.

Because he was too mysterious and rarely showed up.

But after returning this time, he found that things were completely different.

Those who he initially thought would cause trouble were surprisingly silent today.

There were no problems as he had anticipated.

Even when Zhou Ling stated his unconditional support for Zhou Ying to be the next Human King, no one contradicted him.

To him, this was simply unbelievable!

Even his elder brother, who ranked above him, did not say a word, silently following behind Jiang Yuan and Zhou Ling.

He understood why they behaved this way.

It was most likely because of his own ancestral master.

Hearing Zhou Ling’s words, Jiang Yuan also looked at him in surprise.

Then he added, “Do you have any objections to handing over all the goods and wealth accumulated by the Royal Family of Zhou over the years to me?”

“No objections!” Zhou Ling shook his head, then said candidly.

“I understand what it means for a person of your age to have come this far!”

“And I have great expectations for your future!”

“I am willing to give up these accumulated riches in exchange for a memory of me in your heart!”

“Besides, you have also promised to lend a hand to the Royal Family of Zhou in the future!”

“If you succeed in attaining the Saint Dao Fruit in the future! Then it would undoubtedly be a great profit for the Royal Family of Zhou!”

“I believe that you will be able to achieve this in the future, and I am willing to take this bet!”

Hearing Zhou Ling’s sincere words,

Jiang Yuan was even more astounded!

Such a cunning old fox!
