Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 719 The struggle between the Star Palaces has always been like this!

Even though [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] had already prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by the "price" that Zhu Xuanhao mentioned.

"Three ancient scriptures are fine, that's no problem."

"But the Five Elements Essence and the Sun and Moon Elixir... even I, as your master, only received a portion of them from the Star Palace the year I became a True Monarch."

"He actually wants three portions too."

"Are you kidding me? Huh?"

[Fighting and Killing Qinghe Star Lord] was still cursing, but suddenly his expression changed. He looked at the obedient-looking Zhu Xuanhao, and his expression became serious:
"Hao'er"

"Disciple is here." Zhu Xuanhao hurriedly stepped forward.

"Tell me the truth." [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] placed his hand on Zhu Xuanhao's shoulder and whispered, "Did you take a kickback?"

"Absolutely not!"

Zhu Xuanhao hurriedly swore to the heavens: "How could I be such a person? Star Lord, if I, Zhu Xuanhao, have taken kickbacks, may I die a horrible death."

[Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] naturally scoffed at such words. After all, everyone here is a True Lord, always defying the laws of heaven and earth, living freely and unrestrained. Who would take a mere oath or vow seriously? Who would believe it? In the end, it all comes down to strength. Strength is the only true measure of power.

But the next second, his eyes lit up.

"Alright, I believe in you."

"However, you know my situation; I certainly don't have these rare treasures. So, I'll go and contact Zhu Xuanshi for you."

The Zhu Xuan clan was one of the four great clans of Xinggong.

Passed down through generations, they have been in charge of the supreme star chart, the Azure Dragon Constellation. Among the seven star lords of the Azure Dragon Constellation, five are disciples of the Zhu Xuan clan.

The Five Planetary Essence and the Sun and Moon Elixir were "priceless treasures" to him, but to Zhu Xuanshi they were merely "very precious," things he could afford to take out if he gritted his teeth. Thinking of this, [Fighting and Killing Qinghe Star Lord] immediately activated his divine sense and directed it towards a star field.

Azure Dragon constellation, Zhu Xuan clan.

This powerful clan was enormous, having carved out a star comparable to the heavens as their territory, and their population was in the hundreds of millions.

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Zhu Xuan clan.

On the throne, a solemn-faced middle-aged man suddenly sensed something and instantly saw the figure of [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun].

"What brings you to this sudden audience?" the middle-aged man asked, frowning.

"Qinghe greets the head of the family."

[Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] didn't hide anything and directly explained the situation.

"In conclusion, the other party is asking for eight [Five Planets Essence], eight drops of [Sun and Moon Mystic Elixir], and eight superior ancient techniques. I am truly powerless to do so."

The head of the Zhu Xuan clan was stunned, his eyes fixed on [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun], a cold smile playing on his lips: 'So this is being blackmailed by the Immortal Pivot Demon Lord, trying to squeeze a kickback from me? Hmph, whatever. Ultimately, it's all for Hao'er's sake; a little indulgence isn't so bad.'

Upon realizing this, he immediately spoke:

"If you don't have eight portions, cut them all in half. Four portions of [Five Planets Essence], four drops of [Sun and Moon Mystic Elixir], and four superior ancient methods are your reward."

"That's fine too."

Upon hearing this, [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] showed a hint of difficulty, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try to add a little more, that should be enough."

Keep making things up!

The head of the Zhu family didn't care at all. After all, based on his experience, the other party would only ask for three portions at most, and four portions would already be considered too much.

That's why he said that earlier; the extra portion is his reward. After all, he's a Star Lord, and although his cultivation is currently only at the early stage, no one can predict the future. If he obtains this portion of [Five Planetary Essence] and [Sun and Moon Mystic Elixir], breaking through to the mid-stage would be a good thing. "The matter is settled!"

Opening his eyes, [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] smiled and looked at Zhu Xuanhao: "Don't worry, I've gotten everything for you!"

After saying that, he took the item out.

Zhu Xuanhao looked over excitedly, only to find a [Five Elements Essence] and a [Sun and Moon Mystic Elixir]. The hope in his eyes instantly dimmed.

"This master isn't enough."

'not enough?'

Upon hearing this, [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] sneered inwardly, and his gaze toward Zhu Xuanhao subtly turned hostile.

Keep making things up!

Do you really think your master got to where he is today because of his powerful father? What tricks are you trying to play with me, young man? You want three portions of such a treasure?

"The Immortal Pivot Demon Lord always asks for the absolute limit. How could he possibly charge you, a mere early-stage Star Lord? One portion is the absolute maximum; he would never ask for three. This kid is probably greedy and wants to get a kickback from me!"

Thinking of this, [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] simply shrugged.

"Hao'er, there's nothing I can do. We really don't have any more. Take these things and talk to them first. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

Zhu Xuanhao: "."

'How many portions did that old man actually get from Zhu Xuan's family? Could he have used my name to deceive the family head and taken a kickback from me?'

Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed:
"I knew it, Master, you still don't believe me. In that case, why don't you come in with me and talk to them personally?"

"Oh? With you?"

Upon hearing this, [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Zhu Xuanhao: 'This kid, he wouldn't be plotting to kill me in secret, would he?'

After all, once he went to the Human Realm, he would have to rely on Zhu Xuanhao to use the Azure Dragon Constellation to conceal his Golden Core status. Once Zhu Xuanhao removed the concealment, the rules of the Human Realm would immediately shatter him into pieces. This method of killing was so subtle that it left no trace, and any investigation would be in vain.

But soon, his brows relaxed.

"Alright, but I'll ask a friend to come and keep an eye on things here."

"In this way, even if one of us has an accident and doesn't get out safely, my friend can testify on our behalf that it wasn't a deliberate attempt to harm us."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuanhao's expression immediately changed.

'Old man, are you guarding against me?'

What's wrong with letting you earn some gold coins? The path of cultivation is so difficult; if you don't earn gold coins, how am I supposed to cultivate properly? You really have no spirit of dedication whatsoever!

'Unfortunately, this means we can't kill him now. We can't just hand over the item like this. We'll change the plan. The old man and I will team up and see if we can kill that Immortal Demon. Anyway, once the item is in my hands, I'm not giving it back!'

Zhu Xuanhao gritted his teeth inwardly.

Unfortunately, the Five Elements Essence and the Sun and Moon Elixir are too precious. Although the opportunities in the Human World are better, we haven't obtained them yet.

Compared to that, what you get in your hands is naturally more important.

Therefore, all sentimental attachments to children should be decisively put aside.

Master and disciple? Friends? Daoist partners? All can be sold!
'This is also a valuable lesson the Star Lord learned from his crushing defeat years ago, a lesson he learned from the Demon Lord of the Immortal Pivot. The struggle between Star Palaces has always been like this!'
