Chapter 234: The Mighty Army of One Hundred Billion
Moments later,
"Greetings, Celestial Emperor." The eight spoke respectfully.
"En. Thunder Emperor, report all losses from the battle at Huangzhou to me." Yang Chen said coldly.
"Replying to the Celestial Emperor, in the battle at Huangzhou, our army of forty billion soldiers suffered twenty-five billion deaths, among which five billion soldiers and five billion souls have perished." Thunder Emperor said sorrowfully.
"Soul perished?!" Yang Chen immediately stood up and shouted, "Did the Soul Summoning Tower not bring them back?"
"Replying to the Celestial Emperor, no. When a soul perishes, the Soul Summoning Tower cannot summon it back." Thunder Emperor said bitterly.
Yang Chen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, slowly sat back down, and said, "En, properly comfort the other deceased soldiers. Within a month, I want to see all soldiers whose souls have not perished revived."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor. Sixty billion corpses have been accounted for; among them, fifteen billion have been taken by the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom. The remaining forty-five billion have all been placed into the Soul Summoning Tower." Thunder Emperor reported respectfully.
"En. National Master, what is the progress of Shennong Pavilion?" Yang Chen inquired.
"The Shennong Pavilion has perfectly refined the Life Nourishing Pill, equivalent to a peak eighth-grade elixir." Yi Tianzheng reported respectfully.
"En. How much stock of Life Nourishing Pill do we have now?" Yang Chen asked.
"Replying to the Celestial Emperor, there are two billion." Yi Tianzheng reported respectfully.
"So many?" Yang Chen said in surprise; refining one billion peak eighth-grade elixirs in a month was indeed quite a lot.
"Replying to the Celestial Emperor. In these past two months, the Medicine Pavilion Master has been refining day and night, using Life Essence as a catalyst and Holy Extinguishing Fire as the source of heat; it’s not considered very fast." Yi Tianzheng reported respectfully.
"Oh? With the Flame as the source of heat, will the refining speed be faster? National Master, take two hundred million Life Nourishing Pills to the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom and exchange them for a divine artifact." Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Dismissed. Flame Emperor and Thunder Emperor, follow me."
"My Lords may take their leave."
At Shennong Pavilion, Yang Chen, Flame Emperor, and Thunder Emperor arrived together.
"Medicine Pavilion Master," Yang Chen interrupted.
"Celestial Emperor," several people including Yao Tian respectfully said.
"Medicine Pavilion Master, have you informed your disciples about the method for refining the Life Nourishing Pill?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Replying to Celestial Emperor, I have already shared the refining method with ten of my disciples," Yao Tian respectfully replied.
"Good, then Medicine Pavilion Master, you may take a rest," Yang Chen said, glancing at the ten young Alchemists around, all under fifty years old.
"Celestial Emperor, what do you mean by that?" Yao Tian asked.
"I have obtained a Spatial Artifact, inside which time accelerates at a ratio of 10:1. Therefore, I plan to refine the Life Nourishing Pill for forty years within it," Yang Chen explained.
"My Lords will certainly give their all!" Yao Tian respectfully responded.
Yang Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "I remember all your contributions."
"This is what My Lords should do," the four of them said respectfully.
"Mm." Yang Chen said with joy in his eyes.
"Celestial Emperor." Yi Tianzheng returned from outside, holding a green Nine-Tiered Pagoda, and respectfully said, "The old minister has brought back the spatial pagoda."
"National Master, thank you for your hard work," Yang Chen said, suppressing the restless trembling of the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower within him, smiling as he spoke.
"It is my duty; where is the hardship?" He then presented the green pagoda to Yang Chen. Yang Chen nodded and took the small green Nine-Tiered Pagoda, which was about three decimeters tall, into his hands for careful examination. At the same time, he sensed that the trembling of the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower was indeed caused by this green pagoda before him.
“National Master, has the Dragon Emperor informed you of the name of this treasure tower?” Yang Chen asked.
“Seven Treasures Time-Space Tower,” Yi Tianzheng respectfully replied.
“Seven Treasures Time-Space Tower?” Yang Chen murmured softly, then said to Yi Tianzheng, “I will go to Longxiao.” After speaking, he eagerly leaped away. While hurrying, Yang Chen examined the Seven Treasures Time-Space Tower and discovered that the time conversion ratio was indeed only 10:1; Long Po Tian had not deceived him.
In the sky above Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom, Yang Chen shouted loudly, “I wish to see the Dragon Emperor.”
Upon hearing that it was Yang Chen, the soldiers of Longxiao did not take an aggressive stance.
“May I ask, Best Actor, what brings you to Longxiao? Just now, your National Master exchanged something with me and returned; did Best Actor not receive it?” Long Po Tian, dressed in a Dragon Robe, leaped out, followed closely by the Dragon Emperor.
“Of course I received it; I have already obtained the Seven Treasures Time-Space Tower. I have come today to propose another transaction with the Dragon Emperor,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
“In that case, please follow me to Dragon Sky Palace,” Long Po Tian calmly said.
“Alright,” Yang Chen nodded in agreement.
At Dragon Sky Palace,
“Best Actor, what brings you here?” Long Po Tian inquired.
“I will not beat around the bush; I am here for the Seven Treasures Time-Space Tower,” Yang Chen stated calmly.
“Did I not temporarily hand it over to you?” Long Po Tian said deliberately, knowing what Yang Chen was thinking.
“Dragon Emperor, we are both reasonable people; there is no need for this,” Yang Chen replied.
“The Seven Treasures Time-Space Tower is merely a flawed low-grade Heavenly Artifact; why does Best Actor care so much about it?” Long Po Tian said lightly.
“The 10:1 time conversion ratio makes me quite fond of it, and all the officials believe it to be a valuable asset for the nation that cannot be missed. Hence, I have made this trip,” Yang Chen said, downplaying his emphasis on its importance.
“May I ask how Best Actor intends to exchange for it?” Long Po Tian inquired.
“Dragon Emperor, what do you want?” Yang Chen asked.
“I want one hundred billion elite soldiers and one thousand billion Nourishing Essence Pills,” Long Po Tian said, making a bold request.
“Ha ha, Dragon Emperor, you really have a big appetite. One hundred billion elite soldiers, I can agree to that, but Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom must send troops to my Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom. I guarantee that within a year, I will deliver one hundred billion Saint of Combat Soldiers to you. However, for the Life Nourishing Pills, there will only be ten billion,” Yang Chen replied.
“One thousand billion Life Nourishing Pills is not much for you, Shadow Kill. In ten years, it is insignificant. Twenty billion a month, two hundred forty billion a year, two thousand four hundred billion in ten years; I am only taking half,” Long Po Tian said with a smile.
“Then, can the elixirs needed to cultivate one hundred billion elite soldiers be counted within that one thousand billion Life Nourishing Pills?” Yang Chen asked with a smile.
“Of course not,” Long Po Tian rejected.
“If not, how much of the two thousand four hundred billion Life Nourishing Pills will be left? How can I defend against the Chaos Temple a year from now?” Yang Chen countered.
“This…” Long Po Tian hesitated for a moment, preparing to lower his price when Yang Chen interrupted: “I agree to your request. However, I do not have the Life Nourishing Pills right now; I will deliver them to you in a year.”
“You?” Long Po Tian was thrown off by Yang Chen, still trying to regain his composure.
Yang Chen said, “In that case, I will return to the Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom. A year’s time is a great opportunity for you, Longxiao. I do not wish to take advantage of your situation. Farewell; I await the arrival of your One Hundred Billion Soldiers, regardless of their realm.” With that, he leaped away.
“Grandfather, what do you think Yang Chen is planning?” Long Po Tian asked.
