CHAPTER 637: CHAPTER 505: EARTH-GRADE HIGH-GRADE SPIRITUAL ARTIFACT

Yan Jiu and Wu Zhong were discussing matters, and Ye Lingyue was not idle.

She released a Fanghe.

This Fanghe quickly ended up in the hands of Yan Che and others.

Since Ye Lingyue left Xia Capital, Yan Che and Lai Gu had relocated the main base of the Ghost Sect to the vicinity of the Ancient Forest.

A few days after receiving the message, news about the tragic demise of Long Baobao, the genius Artifact Refiner from Long Clan of Cang Country, was uproariously circulating throughout the mainland.

Several days later, one evening, Long Sixuan, who had been patiently waiting for a response from Blood Castle in Cang Country, was now in a luxurious bedroom, eagerly waiting.

In the room, a large Luminous Pearl emitted a faint glow.

Long Sixuan, a middle-aged man over thirty, was a handsome individual.

His appearance was like that of any ordinary scholar, with delicate skin and a hint of scholarly elegance, but his eyes glittered with greed, adding a sinister look to his demeanor.

Several days had passed since Blood Castle began its operation.

Long Sixuan couldn’t eat or sleep well, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was still waiting for the final message.

Since Long Baobao had left Cang Country, he had ordered his men to kill Long Baobao all along the way, but the boy, being lucky, had dodged every time.

For this reason, Long Sixuan had no choice but to seek out "Blood Castle" following someone else’s suggestion.

"Blood Castle" was known as the second most powerful dark forces organization under the Underworld Yama Palace, and Xue Long immediately demanded five million taels of gold.

If it weren’t for Xue Long agreeing to accept the money only after delivering Long Baobao’s head, Long Sixuan would have been reluctant to pay that price.

Fortunately, "Blood Castle" truly lived up to its reputation.

Two days prior, Long Sixuan received the news that Long Baobao had been killed, and the old chap Housekeeper Huang had also died a martyr.

However, Long Sixuan was suspicious and couldn’t rest easy until he saw the boy’s severed head.

At that moment, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the room, a child.

Seeing the child, Long Sixuan visibly relaxed; it was the Fortress Master of Blood Castle, "Xue Long."

Interestingly, Xue Long liked to appear in the form of a child when there was no need for such.

"Xue Long" still took the form of a child when meeting Long Sixuan for the first time.

"Xue Long, why are you so slow? Didn’t you say that as soon as you killed that boy, you would immediately bring his head back to report?" Long Sixuan asked impatiently.

"What’s the rush? That boy had recruited several powerful mercenaries as protection, we of Blood Castle also lost dozens of brothers just to complete this task," "Xue Long" responded gruffly, pulling out a box and throwing it to Long Sixuan.

Long Sixuan couldn’t wait to open the box, and sure enough, it contained the head of a child.

The head had obviously been severed some time ago, the blood had already discolored.

The color of the severed head also had slightly changed, but one could still clearly see it was a very cute child.

Glancing briefly, Long Sixuan confirmed that the head was indeed that of his nephew, Long Baobao, and he was overjoyed and rushed outside.

Long Baobao, you’re finally dead. From now on, the Long Clan will be ruled by me, Long Sixuan!

"The item is in my hands, where’s the money?"

"Xue Long" said impatiently.

"Leader Xue indeed has great methods, the money has been prepared long ago." Overjoyed, Long Sixuan took out the money, but just as he handed over the silver note, he suddenly realized something was amiss.

But when he wanted to take back the silver note, it was already too late, he blamed his momentary excessive joy.

"Leader Xue, hold on, we agreed on a reward of five million silver, including my nephew’s head, and also the bag on his body." Long Sixuan was getting anxious.

Even though he always felt that he was the rightful heir to the Long Clan.

But Long Sixuan had to admit, Long Baobao was the most talented Artifact Refiner of the Long Clan in centuries.

This was evident when Long Sixuan first taught Long Baobao to refine Spiritual Artifacts.

It was only the first time, and four-year-old Long Baobao successfully refined a Spiritual Artifact, even though it was only a Yellow-grade Spiritual Artifact, such an achievement was unparalleled on the entire mainland.

Of course, there are those like Ye Lingyue who possessed Cauldron Breath, and the first time refining, refined something like Dragon Saliva, which are also present on the mainland, only Long Sixuan didn’t know about it.

This time for the World’s First Refining, Long Baobao supposedly refined a highly powerful Spiritual Artifact.

The specific grade should be Earth-grade top-grade.

Such a Spiritual Artifact, even within the Long Clan, was a rare treasure.

Long Sixuan had already planned well in advance, to kill Long Baobao and then take that Spiritual Artifact as his own, take it out in his own name to participate in the World’s First Refining, and then in the competition, use his hidden trump card to win the top position.

Thus, the old folks in the clan would support him as the Family Master, and all the people of the Long Family would be truly convinced.

It was for this reason that Long Sixuan was willing to pay such a high reward of five million.

"You still want the bag back? Fourth Young Master Long, do you really think I, Xue Long, am a fool? That is a priceless Qiankun Bag, and that Spiritual Artifact is an Earth-grade top-grade Spiritual Artifact, which can sell for hundreds of thousands of gold on the mainland, furthermore it was refined by Young Master Long, who is proficient in the Melt Spirit Technique, so the value of this Spiritual Artifact is only higher." "Xue Long" sneered coldly.

"Xue Long, don’t be too greedy!" Long Sixuan’s face turned from pale to flushed.

Five million gold, to buy a life, was already an astronomical price.

If Long Sixuan had to pay another one million gold, the money he embezzled from his family over the years, would almost be exhausted.

But if he didn’t pay, as the World’s First Refining drew nearer, he also didn’t have the time to refine another Spiritual Artifact exceeding the Earth-grade top-grade.

"Fourth Young Master Long, why bother over such a small amount of money with a desperado like me. If you become the Long Family Master, you’ll earn this money back soon." "Xue Long" reminded.

Long Sixuan frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that "Xue Long" made sense, he could only grit his teeth and take out one million gold from his private treasury, handing it over to "Xue Long" with great pain.

This time, he also learned to be cautious, letting the other party hand over the Spiritual Artifact first.

It was a Glazed Jade Fan, surging with dense Spiritual Power, indeed an Earth-grade top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

"I always enjoy doing business with someone as generous as Fourth Young Master Long. The Spiritual Artifact is secured, I won’t stay any longer, farewell." "Xue Long" took the silver note, chuckled twice, and his figure eerily disappeared.
