Chapter 90

"Dragon bone?"

Jiang Anping heard about this thing for the first time, "Where can I find it?"

Hua Qingyu said, "Five thousand years ago, a dragon fell into the path of evil, ascended to the Divine Island, and was blasted to pieces by Daoist Shenxu. Its bones were scattered."

"With your abilities, obtaining the qualification to ascend to the Divine Island is not difficult. I need you to go up and help me find a piece of the dragon bone."

"Is it hard to find?" Jiang Anping asked.

If this dragon bone were easy to find, the other party definitely wouldn't ask him, a minor figure, for help.

After all, with the financial resources of the chamber of commerce, mobilizing strong individuals was as easy as mobilizing a few dogs.

"You are a Fate Master, right? Finding things isn't difficult for you. If you agree, I can give you the ice crystal grass leaves right now."

A delicate black wooden box appeared in Hua Qingyu's white hand, sealed with a talisman.

Jiang Anping clenched his fist.

The other party had misunderstood him, mistaking him for a Fate Master.

But he didn't dare to admit he wasn't one.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't ask him for help, and he wouldn't be able to get the ice crystal grass leaves.

"Give me the leaves now. What if I can't find the dragon bone?"

"Then you go to the mine and use your abilities to help find a large deposit. The deadline is five years."

Hua Qingyu wasn't short of money and didn't ask for much in return.

She wanted to use Jiang Anping's abilities to find mineral veins.

This was Hua Qingyu's true purpose.

She had already sent strong individuals to the Divine Island to look for the dragon bone, but they didn't find it. Jiang Anping probably wouldn't find it either.

If he could find it, that would be great. If not, he could help find mineral veins.

Finding mineral veins was hard work, and only Fate Masters had the ability to find large deposits.

But Fate Masters were rare and easily affected by curses, so not everyone was willing to do this kind of work.

So, no matter whether Jiang Anping could find it, Hua Qingyu wouldn't lose.

Of course, there was one situation where she would lose: if Jiang Anping died on the Divine Island.

But Hua Qingyu didn't care.

In business, there would always be losses, and even the old guys in their chamber of commerce often lost money.

But if successful, she would make a huge profit.

"Alright, deal."

Jiang Anping took the box for his master.

He removed the yellow talisman from the box, and a cold aura immediately surged out, covering the box with frost.

Jiang Anping felt his hands almost freeze.

Opening the box, he saw a white leaf inside, emitting icy crystals and a chilling aura.

Jiang Anping felt cold all over, but his face showed a radiant smile.

With this leaf, his master could be saved!

He quickly closed the box and resealed it with the talisman, as the cold was too intense for him to endure for long.

He put the ice crystal grass leaf into his storage tool and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll run away with it?"

After saying this, Jiang Anping found it amusing himself.

Running away with the chamber of commerce's property was harder than killing a Nascent Soul elder.

Hua Qingyu smiled, dismissed the energy shield, and turned to leave.

She didn't even ask Jiang Anping to sign a written contract.

This was confidence.

She wasn't afraid Jiang Anping would break the agreement.

Meng Jing approached Jiang Anping and curiously asked, "What did you just say?"

The energy shield had isolated the others, so they didn't know what the two were talking about.

"Both of you, go back and rest! The competition is still ongoing, don't you know?"

Xia Qing grabbed Jiang Anping and Meng Jing by the ears and dragged them back.

These two troublemakers, while everyone else was cultivating, they were playing around.

Most importantly, Jiang Anping had almost died not long ago.

The two were pulled back to the city lord's residence.

Jiang Anping returned to his room, opened the barrier, and eagerly used the Treasure Basin to replicate the ice crystal grass leaf.

Eleven ice crystal grass leaves appeared together, almost freezing Jiang Anping to death.

He quickly put six leaves back into the box and resealed it.

Hua Qingyu said one leaf was equivalent to one-third of a complete ice crystal grass.

With six leaves, it was equivalent to two ice crystal grass plants.

It was more than enough!

His master could be saved!

He put the remaining leaves into a separate storage bag.

Jiang Anping took the box to Xia Qing and told her about the deal with Hua Qingyu.

Of course, he didn't mention how many leaves he had.

He told Xia Qing to help him use the teleportation array to quickly send the ice crystal grass leaves back to Blackwind City.

Jiang Anping was worried that normal transportation would waste time and be unsafe.

So he wanted to use the teleportation array.

However, activating the teleportation array was very expensive and usually not used.

"Alright!"

Xia Qing agreed without hesitation.

She had tried to recruit Wang Ren before, but he didn't give her a chance, not wanting to get involved in conflicts.

Later, when Wang Ren was injured, Xia Qing gave up on recruiting him.

Now that Wang Ren had a chance to recover, she naturally wanted to recruit him again.

She also told him about Jiang Anping being poisoned.

She didn't believe this old man wouldn't be angry.

This way, Wang Ren would naturally join her camp.

In Blackwind City.

Beside the governor's residence, in the stable.

The extremely old Wang Ren sat next to a horse, covered in dirt and straw, looking like an ordinary old man.

"Cough, cough~"

Wang Ren coughed violently, blood staining his hands.

He pulled open his clothes, revealing several knife scars on his chest, which had not healed for years, with the Law of Mystic Fire flickering on them.

Now, the Law of Mystic Fire had invaded his bone marrow, and without the ice crystal grass, he couldn't resist it.

"Ah~"

The old sigh was filled with endless loneliness.

He wasn't sad about his impending death, but rather that he hadn't seen Jiang Anping's performance, which was a regret.

If he could see this half-disciple achieve something before his death, it would be a consolation.

"Buzz~"

A strange fluctuation suddenly came from afar.

Wang Ren looked up and saw the fluctuation from the distant teleportation array, frowning.

"What major event has happened? Is the Lingtai Kingdom attacking again?"

Wang Ren clenched his fists and stood up.

With only a few days left, if he could take down a Nascent Soul with him, it would be worth it!

A beautiful figure appeared in the air, and Xia Qing stepped through the air.

"Princess, is it the Lingtai Kingdom and the Great Chu scoundrels again?" Wang Ren asked in a deep voice.

"No, just a single return to deliver something."

Before Wang Ren could react, Xia Qing handed him a wooden box and a jade slip.

"These are from Jiang Anping. The jade slip contains his recent experiences."

After saying this, Xia Qing flew back.

She came and went quickly.

Wang Ren was puzzled. What did Jiang Anping exchange for the princess to personally deliver it via the teleportation array?

He opened the box in confusion.

At that moment, a cold aura surged out, white mist rising, and the Law of Mystic Fire on his wounds was suppressed.

Wang Ren, a Nascent Soul expert, showed an expression of immense shock and joy.

Although he had never seen ice crystal grass, he knew at that moment that this was the leaf of the ice crystal grass!

After the initial joy, Wang Ren was shocked and puzzled.

Even he, a Nascent Soul expert, and the Great Xia royal family, couldn't find the ice crystal grass.

How did Jiang Anping, that child, find it?

Wang Ren, puzzled, used his divine sense to enter the information jade slip and read Jiang Anping's recent experiences.

When he saw that Jiang Anping had defeated Zhou Feng, pride and happiness appeared on his face.

He didn't expect Jiang Anping to have become so strong.

But when he learned that Jiang Anping had taken the Hundred Fragrance Blood Poison and almost died, anger filled his face.

His terrifying aura covered the entire Blackwind City, making everyone feel as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts, unable to breathe.

Wang Ren clenched the jade slip, his face dark, "Without anyone to back him, you dare to harm a pillar of the Great Xia so recklessly?"

"Since that's the case, I, Wang Ren, will back him!"

Wang Ren took the ice crystal grass leaf, determined, "From now on, anyone who dares to bully my disciple will be destroyed by me!"

In the city lord's residence of Netherworld City.

Xia Qing returned.

"Thank you, Sister." Jiang Anping bowed gratefully.

With the ice crystal grass leaves, his master could be saved!

Xia Qing not only delivered the leaves but also something else.

But Jiang Anping didn't know.

Xia Qing patted Jiang Anping's head gently, "I said, we don't need to be so formal."

"Go back and cultivate. No matter what, you must get into the top ten. For you, the Netherworld inheritance is more important than the opportunities on the Divine Island."

"If you can obtain this inheritance, the future governor of Netherworld Province, one of the Nine Provinces, will be you!"
