C76 Blossoms
The words of the Minister of Commerce came out. Although it sounded humble, it was still the truth.
The reason Loong Jiu didn't choose to kill him was because he wanted to know the whereabouts of the Soul Returning Grass through him. After all, as the number one person in the business department, he definitely knew a thing or two about his family's divine object.
He smiled and sized up the business department head. Loong Jiu felt that he looked a little familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen it before. He did not waste any time and told him the purpose of his visit.
"That's right. It seems that you know your own limits. Then I'll be straightforward. I need the Soul Returning Grass from your business. If you can hand it over, I can consider sparing your life. Otherwise, you can go down and accompany your dead brothers! "
The Soul Returning Grass was not an ordinary item. It was a divine object. Therefore, the business department head clearly knew where it was placed. However, he did not want to hand over the Soul Returning Grass. After all, he still wanted to use it to break through to the Martial God Realm!
However, this reluctance only lasted for a moment. After all, the pressure Loong Jiu gave him was too great. He had no choice but to give in. Under the absolute suppression of strength, the most important thing was to survive. As for breaking through realms, there were still opportunities in the future.
"What War Lord said is right. I do know the whereabouts of the Soul Returning Grass. As long as you promise me that you will spare my life after obtaining the Soul Returning Grass, I will immediately bring you to take it away. How about it?"
Loong Jiu had always hated people haggling with him. However, when he thought of Lee Feier, who was about to die, he tolerated it. After all, if he didn't kill him now, he would most likely not let him live after he carefully investigated the cause of his parents' death in the future, so there was no need to rush.
After recovering his serious expression, Loong Jiu nodded and said, "Alright, I promise I will spare your life if I get the Soul Returning Grass."
After getting the promise he wanted, the Minister of Commerce relaxed. He thanked Loong Jiu a few times before leading him to the basement.
The surface of the building looked like a modern building, but as they got closer to the ground, Loong Jiu felt a lot of ancient aura, as if they had walked into some ancient building.
The head of the business department noticed the vigilance and probing look on Loong Jiu's face, so he hurriedly explained to him, worried that he would misunderstand that he was setting up a trap for him.
"Our building was built on an old site a hundred years ago, so the lower the floor, the older it became. " As for the precious Soul Returning Grass, it naturally wouldn't be placed on the surface. When we go down to the second floor, we'll be able to reach the Treasure Pavilion that stored it. "
Loong Jiu nodded expressionlessly at the Minister of Commerce. In fact, he had already made up his mind. Because normally, there would be energy fluctuations in places with mechanisms, so if he really wanted to harm him, he would be able to sense it.
After passing through the narrow and dark corridor on the second floor, Loong Jiu felt some light gradually appear in front of his eyes. However, this light was not from the sun, but from the glowing stones.
The Minister of Commerce searched these stones for a long time. Finally, he smiled happily and pressed one of the stones into the stone.
With a click, the stone wall suddenly moved. Very quickly, it retreated into the crevice and revealed an entrance that was enough for two people to move forward.
"Lord Long Jiu, we've already arrived at the Treasure Pavilion. Quickly come in with me. The Soul Returning Grass is inside."
Seeing the complicated expression on the Minister of Commerce's face and his unhappy tone, Loong Jiu knew that he was reluctant to give the Soul Returning Grass to him.
Without any hesitation, Loong Jiu followed the Minister of Commerce into the Treasure Pavilion. His eyes instantly lit up because there were too many treasures in the Treasure Pavilion! Even though he had seen countless treasures in the eastern warzone for many years, he still felt that he was a bit dazzled.
Although Loong Jiu's expression was stunned, in the eyes of the Minister of Commerce, it was a state that made him afraid. After all, although there were many treasures here, they were all priceless treasures. If Loong Jiu was greedy enough to take them all in one fell swoop, he was afraid that he would be implicated and be crippled by the real big shot behind the scenes.
Fortunately, Loong Jiu was only stunned for a moment before he shifted his gaze away from the treasures. After all, what he wanted was only Soul Returning Grass. Although there were indeed many treasures here, they were of no value to his current condition.
After letting out a long sigh of relief, the Minister of Commerce walked Loong Jiu to the back of the Treasure Pavilion. Because the items displayed here were the real priceless treasures of the Treasure Pavilion. Divine items like the Soul Returning Grass also belonged to this place.
He climbed onto the shelf and took out the box containing the Soul Returning Grass. The Minister of Commerce carefully opened it, wanting to confirm whether the Soul Returning Grass was still inside.
The moment the box opened, the originally bright Treasure Pavilion was suddenly filled with a terrifying dark fog, scaring the Minister of Commerce so much that he almost threw away the box in his hand.
"Ah, War Lord, I don't know what's going on here. This box is indeed the original Soul Returning Grass. I don't know how it became this thing."
Knowing that the Minister of Commerce was afraid that he would misunderstand, Loong Jiu couldn't help but smile. This was because he was indeed holding the Soul Returning Grass. After all, a divine item with such great spiritual force shouldn't have any other similar items.
However, there must be something wrong with this Soul Returning Grass. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a huge energy fluctuation to appear as soon as he opened it, allowing him to see it before. The Minister of Commerce was shocked.
When he thought of this, Loong Jiu did not hesitate. He directly leaped to the Minister of Commerce's side and took the box in his hand.
"Don't be so flustered, Minister. This is indeed the Soul Returning Grass. It seems to have bloomed in the box, so the power released is a little strong."
"Blossoming? Blossoming? It can't be. This Soul Returning Grass has been in the Treasure Pavilion for hundreds of years. After dying for so long, it can still bloom!"
"Haha, everything is possible. After all, it is a Martial Saint expert. How can he see things so easily? "I am in a hurry to take him away to save him, so I won't explain it to you anymore. "We'll meet again if fate allows it!"
The Minister of Commerce looked at Loong Jiu leaving with the Soul Returning Grass in a daze. Although he still did not understand why Loong Jiu said that the grass that had been dead for many years was blooming, the Minister of Commerce still did not understand. However, he hoped that Loong Jiu would never come back again after he left. After all, he still wanted to live for a few more decades and work hard to become a Martial God.
