Chapter 124: Dragon Guard in Golden Armor

Everyone had witnessed how powerful those treasured weapons were .

No one had been able to stop the general . After all, he hadn't even made any efforts to kill those elders in the Mental Wander State . The Universal Darkfire Lamp could even outburn the universe, and the Eight Groups of Spiritual Beings had overwhelmed more than eleven elders in the Mental Wander State .

They were precious and priceless artifacts .

Ning Haotian had acted like a deity . He smashed the statue with one palm, crumbled the Darkfire Lamp in his fingers, and broke the Eight Groups of Spiritual Beings by simply pointing at it . Everyone present had also witnessed this .

When they saw Ning Haotian's pale face, the situation became more dramatic .

What Su Xiuyi had said was, of course, true . No one would question it . Ning Haotian had no choice but to pay the compensation .

"Jiang Chen, how much do you want?" Ning Haotian asked coldly .

"Thirty million low-grade yuan stones . "

Jiang Chen hadn't asked for panaceas or rose gold or contributions of the Natural Law School, but the most valuable thing in the continent, yuan stones .

They were more expensive than gold and highly valued because they were so useful . They could be used as an energy source for tactical formations and other things .

For instance, if a spiritual weapon was out of power, yuan stones could charge them with energy .

They were also the most common energy sources for puppets and machine-operated beasts .

They could even be used to deploy a certain practicing tactical formation, which people could use to practice and progress rapidly .

They were in high demand, so their price soared every year . They were the most heavily protected resources within powerful groups .

During a battle, huge amounts of yuan stones would be consumed .

After achieving a high state, practitioners didn't value gold or silver so much anymore . They would make transactions with yuan stones or panaceas instead .

Many disciples were shocked to hear the number of yuan stones Jiang Chen had asked for, but those powerful men nearby thought it was a proper amount .

However, Ning Haotian didn't agree . He was a powerful man in the Reaching Heaven State who could achieve many things, but 30 million yuan stones would require him to do hard labor relentlessly for six months straight .

"That's too many!" Ning Haotian's arrogance had disappeared . He intended to bargain with Jiang Chen .

"Or, release my father from the Black Dragon City . Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation," Jiang Chen said again .

The atmosphere was charged with tension again .

"Leader, the Black Dragon City deprived me of my holy pulse and kidnapped my father . It's intolerable!" Jiang Chen was trying to take advantage of the Natural Law School to save his father .

Su Xiuyi was silent for a while . When he didn't speak, no one could tell by his expression what he was thinking or how he was feeling .

"No, it's not . The loss the Black Dragon City suffered because of your father was worth more than 30 million low-grade yuan stones . More importantly, he inflicted heavy losses on the Dragon Guard in Golden Armor led by the dynasty's general, Xue Jingtian . He cut off the general's right arm . It wasn't only my family's decision to keep him at the Black Dragon Pool," Ning Haotian finally wised up . He used the Xia Dynasty as an excuse .

"Thirty million low-grade yuan stones . In addition, I'll take Jiang Chen to the Black Dragon Pool to visit his father . Prepared your family for that," Su Xiuyi said .

"Yes, leader," Ning Haotian said .

Jiang Chen curled his lips, disappointed, but he was relieved that he would have the chance to see his father .

"Leader, 30 million isn't a small number . I don't have them now . I'll need three months to get this amount," Ning Haotian said again .

Everyone knew what he was calculating .

Jiang Chen would fight with Li Qin in three months . It would surely be a fight to the death .

If Jiang Chen died, of course Ning Haotian wouldn't have to pay the compensation .

"Fine . " However, Jiang Chen agreed immediately .

"All right, guys . Please continue the discussion regarding the panaceas with the Medicine Elder . "

Su Xiuyi looked over to Feng Shaoyu and the others and smiled at them .

It was precisely because the people from other sects and schools were there that Su Xiuyi had disciplined the Natural Law School in such a rigid way .

Ning Haotian had done something wrong . He had deprived Jiang Chen of his holy pulse and cracked down on him in front of the entire Natural Law School . Even considering the other things he had done, nothing was honorable .

But Ning Haotian was influential and powerful . No one had dared reproach him . Instead, everyone had laughed at Jiang Chen .

If Su Xiuyi hadn't processed the affair appropriately in the presence of figures from other sects and schools, not only would the Natural Law School have a bad reputation, the downward trends in the school would continue .

As a result, more disciples, like Li Qin, would throw their weight around and pay no regard to the school's rules just because their masters were influential, and they were talented disciples .

"Leader Su, you've made order out of chaos in a few sweeping mandates, for which I admire you . You're worth your name," Feng Shaoyu said with respect .

"Leader Su, you're a man of great talent and bold vision . The Natural Law School will have a bright future under your leadership . "

Su Xiuyi didn't put on any airs when listening to these compliments . He laughed aloud and said, "Ha, thank you . I still have some affairs to deal with . Please allow me to excuse myself . "

Then, he and Jiang Chen disappeared from the air without leaving any trace .

Feng Shaoyu and the others were shocked . They were unable to detect where he had gone . They hadn't respected the leader of the Natural Law School from the bottoms of their hearts until that moment .

Jiang Chen felt dizzy . Instantly, he was at the Redcloud Peak .

"Take me to see your mother," Su Xiuyi said .

Jiang Chen took the leader to his room .

Cher was standing beside the door . She hushed them when she saw them coming in .

It had never occurred to her that the man who looked to be the same age as Jiang Chen was the leader of the Natural Law School .

Gao Yue was sound asleep . Jiang Chen felt sad to see that there was no peace on his mother's face . Instead, she frowned in pain from time to time .

Su Xiuyi sized Gao Yue up and suddenly took out a jade bottle . He uncorked the bottle and poured the liquid into Gao Yue's lips .

The dew fell on her lips and was rapidly absorbed .

Then, a wonderful change occurred in Gao Yue's body . Her gray hair returned to black . Her dry skin rejuvenated; she was young again . The wrinkles on her face disappeared .

Soon, her old appearance disappeared completely . She looked even younger than she had before .

Gao Yue opened her eyes slightly and raised her arm to her face . She murmured, "Am I dreaming?"

"This is the essence of rain and dew that I've spent hundreds of years collecting . It has rejuvenated your mother's body . Her life span has also extended," Su Xiuyi said .

"Thank you, Leader the Venerable!"

Jiang Chen was excited . This had brought him even more joy than frustrating Ning Haotian had .

"But the poison your mother suffers from is getting more severe . One day for her is like ten days for a normal person . She will look old again in less than ten years," Su Xiuyi said .

"Ten years? That will be enough!"

Jiang Chen became cheery and sat down on the bed . He grasped Gao Yue's hand and said, "Mother, I'll definitely find a remedy for you, even if I have to go up to heaven or down to hell . "

"If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up from it . " Gao Yue didn't know what had happened . She didn't understand why she had experienced such a great change in her body .

"Jiang Chen, come with me . I have something to ask you . " Su Xiuyi had become absent-minded for a short while at the warm scene between the mother and son . Suddenly, he turned around to walk out of the room as he spoke to Jiang Chen .

Jiang Chen asked Cher to take good care of Gao Yue and walked out . He saw the leader standing not far away .

"Jiang Chen, I need to ask you, how many holy pulses have you recovered?"
