I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1642 - 1646: 8 Billion in Hand

"I made a mistake!" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "I was a bit too hasty. As expected, fine work requires patience!"

"Master, what do you mean by that?" Qing Kong looked at Lan Xin and asked.

"I'm not sure, but it sounds like the master made some errors in his performance!"

"Errors in performance? You call this errors in performance?" Qing Kong almost wanted to yell out. This is a Saint Grade weapon! Not to mention, this could very well be the top Divine Artifact in the entire Yanlan Empire and even several other empires around it!

Such an item, yet to this master, it seems to be a failure? Exceptional people really do have unbelievably high standards for themselves!

"It's troublesome!" At this moment, not only did Lan Xin not feel any excitement, but he was also filled with a bit of anxiety.

The emergence of a Saint Grade item is something the laws of this world do not allow. The World Force is bound to descend with Thunder Punishment to destroy it.

Although Qing Yun Pavilion is extremely sturdy, even a regular Super Life Form would need to exert significant effort to destroy it, it still falls short of guarding against the Thunder Punishment formed by the World Force.

"I just handle the actions. As for other matters, I'm not involved!" Zhang Menglong spread his hands and washed his hands of it.

"Master, leave this Thunder Punishment to me!"

This Qing Kong is a powerful Super Life Form, and he had some confidence in resisting this Thunder Punishment!

Though the artifact refining room is located underground, it can directly connect to the outside world.

Qing Kong leaped up and headed through the exit to the sky. The sky was already densely covered with dark clouds, and the people near Qing Yun Pavilion seemed to feel this oppressive atmosphere, becoming somewhat restless and uneasy.

"Look quickly, why did dark clouds suddenly appear in the sky?"

"This... this seems like Thunder Punishment!"

"Thunder Punishment? How could there be Thunder Punishment in a place like this? This is in the Capital City!"

"Thunder Punishment... that indicates a Saint Grade elixir or weapon has emerged, right here at Qing Yun Pavilion!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

In an instant, the entire Qing Yun Pavilion became agitated.

Such a level of weapon or elixir has never appeared in the entire history of the Yanlan Empire. This is unquestionably a nationwide event.

Who could possibly have the skill to refine such a thing? According to most people's understanding, the Yanlan Empire has never had such a great figure.

"Look quickly, someone went up! Are they going to face the Thunder Punishment?"

"That seems to be our Guardian of Yanlan Empire!"

"Right! That's exactly who it is!"

Everyone looked up at the figure in the sky, their eyes filled with reverence and admiration. The importance of a Guardian to a country is self-evident, and losing any one of them would be a huge blow to the nation.

"Can he do it?" Zhang Menglong pointed at the sky and asked.

"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, Uncle Qing Kong is the foremost person in our Yanlan Empire, he surely will have no problem!" The Thunder Punishment, though terrifying, a Super Life Form should be able to withstand it, at most sustaining some injuries, but compared to this Saint Grade weapon, anyone would be willing to take a few hits.

Very soon, the sound of muffled thunder rolled across the sky, occasionally mixed with the cheers and exclamations of the onlookers, as most people had never witnessed such a thing as Thunder Punishment before.

After about half an hour, a figure trailing with black smoke slowly descended from the sky.

"Damn, this Thunder Punishment is truly harsh!" Qing Kong's entire fur was burned off by the high-temperature lightning, with shocking burns all over his body, yet he still appeared rather spirited despite just some severe flesh wounds.

"Here, take this as a gift!" Zhang Menglong tossed over two elixirs.

Qing Kong and Lan Xin's pupils visibly enlarged by a circle. What's going on here? Could it be he's also an Alchemist? That's too defying nature!

Qing Kong swallowed an elixir, and his injuries began to heal at an unbelievable speed...

"Take this!" Zhang Menglong threw over the Fang Tian Halberd that was still flowing with dual energies. Qing Kong caught it and gently caressed it as if admiring a beauty.

He infused his energy into it, and the Fang Tian Halberd immediately exhibited a fusion of ice and fire power. These two opposing forces combined in such a way that the power exerted wasn't as simple as one plus one.

"Are you satisfied?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Satisfied! More than satisfied!" Qing Kong felt he gained tremendously. His bottom line was just a Semi-Saint artifact that could accommodate one type of energy. He never expected Zhang Menglong not only endowed it with dual attributes but also elevated its quality to Saint Grade. At this moment, he felt like he'd shortchanged the payment.

A Saint Grade Divine Weapon, even at 100 billion Divine Crystals, was considered a bargain. He was actually worried Zhang Menglong might increase the price at the last minute, but producing this sum had already exhausted his resources.

"The agreed price is the price!" Zhang Menglong saw his unease and guessed what he was worried about.

"Master, here's the reward we agreed upon!" Lan Xin immediately handed over the Crystal Card storing 80 billion Divine Crystals, "Master, this other card is a VIP card from our Qing Yun Pavilion. From now on, any expenses here will be at a ten percent discount!"

"Thanks so much!" Zhang Menglong accepted without reservation. Why refuse a discount?

"Master, gratitude is beyond expressible. Even though you didn't charge me more, I owe you a favor. In the future, if you encounter any issues in this Yanlan Empire, just seek me out!"

"I won't be polite then!" Zhang Menglong estimated he'd be staying in the Yanlan Empire for a while and naturally wouldn't refuse such an offer.

"Master, if you have time this evening, why not visit my Qing Family for a gathering? I guarantee a hearty reception." Qing Kong extended an invitation. If a master like him could be befriended, the Qing Family's status in the Yanlan Empire would ascend rapidly.

"I think not," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "I plan to buy some things and return before dark."

"Master, just tell me what you'd like. I'll have people prepare it for you at the fastest speed possible."

"That would be great!" Zhang Menglong promptly compiled a list of what he needed. The Qing Yun Pavilion had amassed a wealth of treasures and resources from the entire nation and even neighboring countries, making it possible to acquire almost anything Zhang Menglong needed. Within half an hour, everything was in his possession.

"Thank you, I'll take my leave now!"

Zhang Menglong collected his things and left Qing Yun Pavilion.

Lan Xin and Qing Kong watched Zhang Menglong's retreating figure without moving for a long time.

"Lan Xin lass, do you think this master is from our Yanlan Empire?"

"Even if not, he probably has friends here."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've taken a liking to him?" Qing Kong teased, "I bet if you manage to win over this master, no one in the entire nation would dare utter a word against it and would fully support you. Your engagement would be nothing but a scrap of paper!"

"Uncle Qing, you're teasing me again!" Lan Xin pouted, "This time, having resolved such a big issue for you, our prior agreement..."

"Rest assured, if you wish to annul your engagement, I'm the first one on your side!"

After saying this, Qing Kong sighed, "Oh, these old bones of mine! The guy from the Gu Family is no easy character to deal with. You've truly given your uncle Qing a tough challenge..."
