When Hua Mengyou brought Jiang Chengxuan to where Hou Dongbai was, Hou
Dongbai was talking to a few Violet Palace elders.
When he saw Jiang Chengxuan coming over, he quickly ended the conversation.
After the Violet Palace elders left, Hou Dongbai smiled and turned to Jiang Chengxuan.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, it’s been decades since we last met, right?
I wonder what brought you here this time.”
Hearing Hou Dongbai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t keep him in suspense.
Instead, he smiled and nodded.
“We have indeed not seen each other for decades.
To be honest, the reason why I came to you this time is to ask your pavilion for a favor.”
“Yes?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s words stunned Hou Dongbai. Then, he said thoughtfully, “For a Golden Core Ancestor like you to ask for help, it shouldn’t be a simple matter, right?
Tell me, what exactly is it?”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and said, “I want to ask your pavilion to help me restrain the few demon kings near Mount Ether.”
“Huh… ?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Hou Dongbai’s expression immediately turned solemn.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you trying to…?”
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said, “I plan to attack Mount Ether.
If possible, I want to get rid of the three demon kings on Mount Ether.”
These words made Hou Dongbai’s expression turn even more solemn.
He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you know how risky it is for you to do this?”
“That’s why I came to ask you to help restrain the surrounding demon kings.” At this point, Jiang Chengxuan stopped hiding.
He continued, “To be honest, my wife has already gone to the Heavenly Yue Sect.
If there are no accidents, the Heavenly Yue Sect should have already agreed to our request.”
“You even asked the Heavenly Yue Sect?”
Hou Dongbai was surprised.
He thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice,
“I can help you restrain the surrounding demon kings, but even though we’re friends, your Jiang family still has to give us the remuneration you deserve. Also, I want to know why you wanted to do this.
And most importantly, how confident is your Jiang family in this operation?” Jiang Chengxuan answered all of Hou Dongbai’s questions.
Firstly, the reason why they wanted to attack Mount Ether was that the Jiang family needed a Level 4 spiritual vein.
In Liang Nation and the surroundings, they couldn’t find a Level 4 spiritual vein more suitable than the one in Mount Ether.
As for how confident the Jiang family was in attacking Mount Ether…
In Jiang Chengxuan’s opinion, as long as the Jade Water Sword Pavilion and the
Heavenly Yue Sect could help them successfully restrain the surrounding demon kings, the success rate was 100%.
However, Jiang Chengxuan only said that he was about 70 to 80% confident, just to not appear arrogant.
In fact.
This confidence was already very high.
Hou Dongbai didn’t even believe it.
Although Jiang Chengxuan had killed a fourth level Golden Core cultivator back then, that was only done with the cooperation of others.
At least in Hou Dongbai’s opinion, it was impossible for Jiang Chengxuan and
Shen Ruyan to kill the three Level 4 Barbarian Goshawks on Mount Ether at the same time.
However, Jiang Chengxuan did not elaborate, so Hou Dongbai did not ask further.
After all, he believed that as Golden Cores, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would not be so stupid as to risk their lives and the safety of their entire family. Lastly, it was about the remuneration.
Jiang Chengxuan promised that after killing the three Level 4 Barbarian
Goshawks, he would use the demon cores in their bodies to refine Core Formation Pill.
At that time, he would give them one pill.
Hou Dongbai was shocked again by what Jiang Chengxuan said.
As everyone knew, the demon core in the body of a Level 4 demon king could be used to refine Core Formation Pills.
However, the difficulty of refining this pill was very high.
It was impossible for ordinary Level 4 alchemists to successfully refine it.
Only high-grade Level 4 alchemists had a higher chance of successfully refining this pill.
As far as Hou Dongbai knew, no alchemist in the five nations of the Cangnan Region had reached the high-grade Level 4.
Now that Jiang Chengxuan said so, could it be that he and his wife were actually high-grade Level 4 alchemists?
As if reading Hou Dongbai’s mind, Jiang Chengxuan decided to be honest. “Pavilion Master Hou, to be honest, my current alchemy has already reached
Level 4.
However, compared to my wife, it’s still not good enough.
Her alchemy has already reached the peak of Level 4.”
As a matter of fact, Shen Ruyan’s alchemy could easily reach Level 5.
However, there was no need to reveal this.
The peak of Level 4 alchemy had already exceeded Hou Dongbai’s expectation.
It took him a long time to react. He said with a bitter smile,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, you and your wife never ceased to surprise us..”
