I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

They didn't expect that Dugu Aoyun would ask for a huge amount of money, ten thousand taels of gold!

Even those who had followed Prince Jing for many years had never asked for half of what they had asked for last time. It was impossible for someone as new as him to exaggerate to such an extent. Rang couldn't accept it.

Prince Jing looked normal, with a smile on his face all the time.

After a brief consideration, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"No problem. Just as you said, I'll give you 10,000 taels! If you can help me ascend the throne, you will get even more. Isn't this more suitable than a trade?"

Dugu Aoyun nodded and smiled.

"Yes, I am very satisfied. Then prepare the gold as soon as possible. I will come when the time comes. I have other things to do, so I will leave first!"

His figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Such powerful strength made the other grand masters in the perfect state tremble in fear. Even if they joined forces, they would probably not be his match.

But the person has already left, so there is no need to be shy about what they want to say and they can say whatever they want.

At this time, one of the grand masters couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, this man's background is still unknown, yet he dares to ask for 10,000 taels openly. This is too exaggerated and too outrageous!"

Prince Jing didn't care about this, and spoke slowly.

"Since he is valuable, it would be fine to give him a little more silver. Besides, if I am not mistaken, even if you guys join forces, you can't defeat him alone, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The seven or eight of them were definitely no match for Dugu Aoyun.

Seeing this, Prince Jing was not surprised and spoke slowly.

"If that's the case, then you should understand his value. He has not only reached the realm of a land immortal, but is also constantly improving. You should also understand the gap between them."

"Otherwise, why would he dare to ask for 10,000 taels of gold? It's because he is confident. This is his capital. Do you understand?"

Now that things have been said to this point, it is clear what Prince Jing is thinking.

Even if they were not convinced, they had no other choice but to accept it silently.

Seeing that no one spoke, Prince Jing was very satisfied and nodded.

"I don't need to tell you what to do next. We found a good person this time. Next time, we should at least find people who are at the same level as you. There is no need to waste time on those trash who are even lower than you!"

These grand masters didn't dare to say a word and could only nod their heads continuously.

In Prince Jing's eyes, everyone below the Grand Master is trash.

When there are more land immortals around him, they will become trash in his eyes and not worth mentioning.

After Prince Jing was about to leave, he looked at them and said.

"Also, find out the origins of that guy. He is so powerful. I want to know who he is and how he has such ability."

Even though Prince Jing agreed to Dugu Aoyun's request, he still had doubts.

He had no way of completely trusting a person, let alone someone who came to him halfway. He was full of doubts and naturally it was impossible for him to trust him completely.

After returning to the palace, Dugu Aoyun used the spiritual beads given by the White Emperor to continue his in-depth cultivation.

He realized that there was a spiritual energy wandering around in his body, but it was uncontrollable, so Dugu Aoyun was unable to break through.

If he could control it, his strength would definitely increase significantly. Unfortunately, he tried several times but still failed.

Dugu Aoyun looked at the spirit pearl in his hand with a worried look on his face. He could only stop for the time being and try again later!

The next day, morning.

Jiang Linglong was a little surprised to see Dugu Aoyun coming back so soon, and asked.

"Has Baidi made his own decision?"

He nodded and replied.

"That's right. He is now incomplete, but according to the method I provided, his body has improved a lot. He has also absorbed the power of the artifact. Now he can no longer be underestimated!"

"I don't think he will come for a while. In order to obtain all the power in the artifact, he will definitely have to work hard, which will take some time."

Thinking of what happened last night, Dugu Aoyun spoke again.

"There is one more thing that I think you should be very interested in. It is about King Zhao."

Then he told him everything that happened last night.

After hearing this, Jiang Linglong was very surprised. She felt that this was like a play and was really ridiculous.

"I really didn't expect that Prince Jing has already won over the people in such an exaggerated way. Isn't he worried that if all this is a conspiracy, what should he do?"

In response to the question, Dugu Aoyun briefly expressed his thoughts.

"He should have sent people to arrest me. I'm not very clear about the specific circumstances. However, if he did this, his methods would be more sophisticated. Of course, he would also investigate me. I shouldn't be able to hide my identity for long."

"When Prince Jing comes from now on, I will try my best not to show up!"

Hearing this, Jiang Linglong nodded and said in agreement.

"That's fine. If you show up, they will definitely know about our relationship, which will cause trouble."

Thinking of another important thing, Dugu Aoyun smiled.

"I also asked for another 10,000 taels of gold, and Prince Jing agreed. If you give it to me, it will be useless for me to keep it. It's better for you to keep it and put it in the national treasury!"

Jiang Linglong's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that he could do this.

At the same time, his heart was full of doubts and he asked in confusion.

"That's 10,000 taels of gold. Aren't you tempted at all?"

Dugu Aoyun shook his head and spoke in a firm tone.

"No, I have never been too interested in these things. Besides, now that I have relied on Lu Yuan's method to obtain the spiritual beads that Baidi used to practice, this one thousand taels of gold is really nothing as a thank you!"

Dugu Aoyun has always been indifferent to such external things and doesn't care about them particularly.

He paid more attention to improving his own cultivation and strength, and didn't care about anything else.

As soon as he finished speaking, the void around them turned and Lu Yuan appeared in front of them.

He stared at Dugu Aoyun for a few seconds and discovered something.

"It seems that you have gained the trust of Baidi, and he has told you the specific method of cultivation. However, you are now subject to some restrictions, which have trapped you!" (End of this chapter)
