Chapter 512 - Three

When Bai Qi heard the man’s words, he was embarrassed at first, but then he suddenly exclaimed, “Three-star treasure appraisal meeting?!”

“The Sky Treasure Pavilion’s once-a-decade three-star treasure appraisal meeting is actually going to be held in Yunzhou City this time?”

The man in embroidered clothes nodded and said solemnly, “With the habit of the Sky Treasure Pavilion, every three-star treasure appraisal meeting will have some truly important treasures as the finale. This time should be no exception! We’re in a favorable position. Perhaps we can prepare in advance.”

Bai Qi carefully pondered over the meaning of the man’s words and hurriedly said, “Bai Qi dares not disobey the Palace Master’s orders!”

The man in embroidered clothes smiled faintly and said directly, “I did come to look for you today because I have a request.”

“As you know, my fourth-grade first-stage Spiritual Abode has long been perfected. If I want to advance further, I can only establish the second stage.

“But countless years have passed. I’ve tried countless times and spent a large amount of wealth, but I’ve all failed. My hope of becoming a god seems to have been severed!”

“But I’m still indignant! This time, a precious treasure will definitely appear at the three-star treasure appraisal meeting! I want to fight for it! But I’m worried that I don’t have enough Star Domain Essence in hand, so I want to temporarily borrow some from Brother Bai.”

Bai Qi understood.

He was here to borrow money!

His expression was a little ugly, but he did not dare to show it.

He could only say, “If the Palace Master needs me, I will naturally do my best!”

“However, Bai Qi doesn’t understand. From the announcement of the information to the final holding of the three-star treasure appraisal meeting, it won’t take more than three days.

“In such a short period of time, the experts from the other regions might not be able to rush over in time. The competition will definitely be much smaller. This is also a discount that the Sky Treasure Pavilion gives to the local forces.”

“And this appraisal meeting will be held in our Yunzhou City, which is dominated by our three palaces. Demondawn Palace has a good relationship with our palace, and the Fiend Celestial Palace has long been unable to make ends meet. Who can compete with you?”

The man in embroidered clothes shook his head slightly and smiled faintly.

“Brother Bai, you’re still too shallow.”

“Although Demondawn Palace is on good terms with our palace, this is a huge matter that concerns our future. That person from Demondawn Palace won’t be polite to me. It’s already good enough that he doesn’t ask for my help. How can he not fight for it? He’s probably even more determined to get it.”

“That person from the Fiend Celestial Palace has indeed been suppressed by our two palaces over the years. But if he really goes all out, he might have a chance.”

“Most importantly… How could you have forgotten about that old fellow Ye Tiannan!”

“This Yunzhou City is actually surnamed Ye!”

“Although the City Lord Residence has been indifferent all these years and has a low presence, we can’t pretend that he doesn’t exist! That old fellow Ye Tiannan is smart!”

“I even reckon that Ye Tiannan might have already reached the last step. The three-star treasure appraisal meeting this time might be related to him!”

Bai Qi’s eyes widened.

“Palace Master, do you mean…”

The man in embroidered clothes smiled faintly.

“Isn’t it obvious? Ye Tiannan is just one step away from breaking through. Perhaps he’s still missing the last step and needs some key treasures to break through.

“Therefore, his old lover in the Sky Treasure Pavilion pulled some strings and let the location of this three-star treasure appraisal meeting be Yunzhou City.”

“The goal is to create an opportunity for Ye Tiannan so that the old fellow can obtain the treasure he needs at the lowest price. Moreover, this is within the rules of the Sky Treasure Pavilion.”

“That’s why I’m so sure that there will definitely be a treasure that can help a Spiritual Abode warrior break through in this meeting!”

Bai Qi came to a realization.

“I see!”

The man in embroidered clothes smiled faintly.

“But this time, we won’t let Ye Tiannan get what he wants so easily. Since they used the rules to take advantage of us, as long as the rules allow, we will rely on our own abilities!”

“What is going to be appraised at the meeting? All kinds of spiritual treasures? No! It’s the Star Domain Essence in the pockets of every martial artist!”

“Therefore, I need a large amount of Star Domain Essence this time! Only then can I suppress that old thing at the meeting!”

“Previously, I already ordered some forces and organizations that had been secretly saving up over the years to contribute all the remaining Star Domain Essence. Including some of my savings, I’ve gathered a total of 8,000 drops of Star Domain Essence!”

“But I’m still worried that it’s not enough, so I want to borrow the Star Domain Essence from Brother Bai! Two thousand drops will do. Brother Bai has been the Vice Palace Master for so many years. I believe you can still take out these, right?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t borrow it for nothing. When I break through, I’ll return it to you with interest.”

“Later, I plan to find some old friends. There should still be time. This time, I must get it!”

Hearing the man’s tone, Bai Qi smiled bitterly.

From his tone, it was obvious that he was not here to discuss with him. He was bent on borrowing it!

However, Bai Qi did not dare to not lend it. It was too much for him.

Furthermore, he had been in cahoots with the Palace Master all these years. He had long become a grasshopper in the same boat.

If Ye Tiannan really broke through, the current situation in Yunzhou City would definitely be broken.

The City Lord Residence was like a sleeping tiger. It usually did not show its might, but if it really stood up and shook its might, it was not something an ordinary person could withstand!

At that time, the Human Imperial Palace would be in danger.

He might even have to spit out everything he had eaten over the years!

Bai Qi could not afford this price!

In that case, the best way was to let his Palace Master seize that treasure and open the second stage of the Spiritual Adobe!

In this way, the status of the Human Imperial Palace would definitely leap to become the most powerful force in Yunzhou City, and even become the overlord of the Southern Region!

Then they would also rise.

This was the ideal outcome!

As for whether he could take back the 2,000 drops of Star Domain Essence…

It was up to fate!

What was in front of Bai Qi now was not a multiple choice question at all, but a compulsory question!

He would take a gamble!

After figuring all of this out, Bai Qi gritted his teeth.

“I’ll do my best for the Palace Master!”

“However, I don’t have that much Star Domain Essence on me now. After I exchange for some treasures, I will definitely gather 2,000 drops of Star Domain Essence for the Palace Master!”

Seeing Bai Qi’s tactful performance, the man in embroidered clothes smiled in relief and patted Bai Qi’s shoulder.

“Brother Bai, don’t worry. If I break through, I will definitely not mistreat my brothers in the palace.”

Bai Qi hurriedly revealed a grateful expression.

He sighed in his heart.

It seemed like he would have to pay a huge price this time!

Only when the man in embroidered clothes had walked away did Bai Qi let out a long sigh.

He looked at the dim night sky in the distance and remained silent for a long time.

He felt a little dazed.

Why did he feel like a storm was brewing?

Was the sky in Yunzhou City really going to change…
