Chapter 77: Li Youwei's Promise
Zhang Pangzi's eyes were filled with excitement.
Having practiced the art of refining for most of his life, Zhang Pangzi had never known such a method of refining before.
He had a faint premonition that by following Su Chen, he would be able to elevate his refining skills to an unprecedented level.
Su Chen smiled and then spoke, "Since this refining method is feasible, you can pass on this method to your disciples. You should have a big business opportunity soon."
Zhang Pangzi was filled with confusion.
"What big business opportunity?"
Su Chen smiled mysteriously.
"The batch of spirit stones from the Dali Dynasty. You can use all of them to refine Law Weapons."
Zhang Pangzi was stunned.
He had long heard about that batch of spirit stones from the Dali Dynasty.
It was not a small amount of spirit stones.
"Is that true?"
Su Chen nodded with a smile.
"Of course. In a few days, people from the Dali Dynasty will come to discuss business with you."
Zhang Pangzi was overjoyed.
How many Law Weapons could be refined if that batch of spirit stones from the Dali Dynasty were used?
Su Chen returned to his residence.
Zhang Ruoxue was taking a walk in the courtyard. When she saw Su Chen return, she approached him.
"In a few days, we will return to the Veiled Spirit Sect."
"During these days, the delivery of spirit stones from the Dali Dynasty will temporarily affect our business."
Su Chen smiled.
"Don't worry. Afterward, the business of the Veiled Spirit Sect will improve."
Su Chen's plan was simple. After the Dali Dynasty's spirit stones were used up, he would use the Veiled Spirit Sect's spirit stones to refine Law Weapons.
As for the purpose of these Law Weapons, on one hand, they could be sold for money, and on the other hand, they could be used by his disciples when Su Chen established his own sect in the future.
Zhang Ruoxue was somewhat puzzled but didn't ask further.
Su Chen had given her too many surprises, so it was not surprising what he would do next.
The next day, outside Su Chen's residence, a large group of guards appeared.
A man who looked like a general walked to the side of the residence and respectfully bowed before knocking on the door.
Passersby all cast surprised glances.
Who could be the owner of this residence? To make a general of the Dali Dynasty show such respect.
After a while, the door of the residence opened.
A plump woman opened the door and looked surprised. She asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Su Chen here?"
"Looking for the master? He's here."
The woman replied and immediately turned around to enter the residence.
None of the guards around moved. They all stood respectfully outside the gate.
After a while, Su Chen walked out.
The general immediately spoke respectfully, "Mr. Su Chen, our princess requests an audience."
Su Chen quickly waved his hand.
"I dare not. I dare not."
But the general did not change his tone. This was the person who had repelled the Ghost Tide, after all.
Su Chen got up and followed the general to the residence where Li Youwei was.
Entering the room, Su Chen glanced around and found that besides Li Youwei, there was an old man with white hair.
The old man was very old, but his figure was still strong, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
Su Chen's expression was solemn. He could sense that the old man was very powerful, and his cultivation had definitely reached the level of Primordial Yang Realm!
Li Youwei spoke up, "This is Su Chen, the person who single-handedly eliminated the ghost tide."
The old man looked surprised. The person who repelled the ghost tide was actually such a young man?
The old man carefully looked at Su Chen, slightly astonished. Su Chen's strength was only at the fourth level of Foundation Building, while the ghost king who could command the ghost tide was already at the level of Primordial Yang Realm, equivalent to a cultivator.
The old man asked, "Kid, how did you repel the ghost king?"
Su Chen smiled.
"I have a history with that ghost king."
To have a history with such a powerful ghost king, Su Chen was definitely not an ordinary person.
Li Youwei turned to Su Chen and said seriously, "Su Chen, you have made a great contribution in repelling the ghost tide this time. You can make a request to the Dali Dynasty."
Li Youwei's expression was very serious.
Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "I don't need much. When the time comes, I will go to the Dali Dynasty to find you to make my request."
Li Youwei nodded.
The preservation of the spirit stones of the Dali Dynasty this time was all thanks to Su Chen's efforts.
Su Chen asked, "Did you cooperate with Zhang Pangzi?"
Li Youwei nodded.
Su Chen smiled. Soon, Li Youwei would receive a pleasant surprise.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Youwei's face showed a slight displeasure as he coldly said, "Don't they know I'm in a meeting?"
Su Chen suggested, "Why not let the guard come in and speak?"
Although Li Youwei was puzzled, he followed Su Chen's suggestion and let the guard in.
The guard stepped forward and said, "Princess, the sales of our spirit stones this time have reached an unprecedented level."
"The sales this time almost reached the total of the previous dozens of times."
"How much?"
"Ten times?"
Li Youwei was stunned. Those spirit stones didn't have anything special about them!
Su Chen explained, "I turned these spirit stones into Law Weapons! Selling Law Weapons naturally commands a higher price."
Li Youwei immediately widened his eyes.
"So you're also an artificer?"
Su Chen smiled and nodded.
Li Youwei looked at Su Chen with a different gaze.
The old man suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Su Chen, I don't know if you're willing to cooperate with the Dali Kingdom. The Dali Kingdom's million-strong army is in need of an artificer. As long as you're willing to come, we can provide you with any conditions."
The old man knew very well that someone who could turn spirit stones into Law Weapons was definitely an exceptionally powerful artificer.
And artificers were already very rare in this world. Someone like Su Chen, an artificer of this caliber, couldn't be let go.
However, Su Chen shook his head.
"That won't be necessary. I will definitely establish my own sect in the future, and I don't want to pass on my artificing techniques."
The old man's expression showed a hint of regret, but he didn't insist.
Li Youwei sighed and said, "Alright then, since that's the case, it's up to you. As for that request, come find me whenever you're ready to fulfill it."
Su Chen agreed and left the room.
That night, Su Chen returned to his residence, where Zhang Ruoxue was packing up.
"We've been in Jinling City for a few days now, and the sales of the Dali Dynasty's spirit stones have been good. There's no need for us to stay here any longer."
Su Chen nodded.
Zhang Ruoxue smiled, but suddenly her expression changed and she began to retch.
Then, Zhang Ruoxue stood up, her face slightly red, and looked at Su Chen with anger in her eyes.
"It's all your fault!"
Su Chen was at a loss, but suddenly a system prompt sounded in his mind.
