Chapter 218: Blackmailing the Emperor

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Blackmailing the Emperor

Facing Quentin Drake’s mockery, Wyatt Barnes was too lazy to respond.

Shortly after, at Wyatt Barnes’s request, the emperor had a pile of medicinal ingredients brought to him, which were exactly the ones needed to refine the ’Grade Nine Clear Spirit Pill’.

Some of the ingredients, Wyatt Barnes did not ask the emperor to prepare.

Because he had kept something under his sleeve and had no intention of refining the full ’Grade Nine Clear Spirit Pill’ for the emperor to consume.

Since ancient times, the emperor has been merciless.

This phrase, he was not unfamiliar with.

So, he retained something under his sleeve.

If he were to refine a complete ’Grade Nine Clear Spirit Pill’, it would easily eliminate all of the severe poison inside the emperor’s body.

But in that case, between him and the emperor, the emperor would undoubtedly gain the upper hand.

Even if the emperor sets up the ’Brocade Clothes Guards’ for him, he will inevitably be restrained and unable to let loose.

Therefore, he planned to keep the emperor longing and make him dependent on him, so that his Brocade Clothes Guards could act recklessly.

After all, he has the support of the emperor.

The incomplete ’Grade Nine Clear Spirit Pill’, although unable to completely remove the poison inside the emperor, was able to suppress some of the toxicity temporarily...

"Such a miraculous Pill Medicine! I can feel that the toxicity within my organs has been largely suppressed."

After consuming the incomplete ’Grade Nine Clear Spirit Pill’, the emperor’s eyes brightened, and his face showed a surprised and delighted expression.

"Your Majesty, for this detoxifying Pill Medicine, you need to take it regularly to completely eliminate the severe poison inside your body... If you do not use it for a period of time, the poison inside your body will flare up once again, possibly even more ferociously than before, like a beast in a deluge! Therefore, I will refine this detoxifying Pill Medicine for you every once in a while."

Wyatt Barnes gave a slight smile to the emperor. His eyes were full of shifting lights, only he knew what he was thinking.

"Wyatt Barnes, why don’t you just make more detoxifying Pill Medicine for me, how about that?"

The emperor looked at Wyatt Barnes with eager eyes.

As the supreme emperor of the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, he naturally could see what Wyatt Barnes was intending, which was nothing more than wanting to blackmail him.

And for him who wished to live, admittedly, he had no choice...

"Your Majesty, this detoxifying Pill Medicine is extremely difficult to refine. Unless I conserve my energy for over a month, I am not confident in refining it successfully."

Of course, Wyatt Barnes declined.

The scarcity of a thing makes it valuable, this rule, he understood.

"Wyatt Barnes, in that case, you can contribute the formula of the detoxifying Pill Medicine... There are many alchemists within the palace whom can serve Your Majesty better."

Quentin Drake looked towards Wyatt Barnes and slowly said.

"Prime Minister Drake, I’m sorry, but I won’t share my formula with anyone."

Wyatt Barnes glanced at Quentin Drake, his eyes calm.

In front of this Quentin Drake, he was too lazy to beat around the bush!

"Not even for His Majesty?"

Quentin Drake’s corner of the mouth raised, as if trying to use the emperor to coerce Wyatt Barnes.

"Prime Minister Drake, don’t scare me. If you frighten me and I forget the formula... Then I wouldn’t be able to refine it anymore... At that time, if His Majesty doesn’t have any detoxifying Pill Medicine available and the poison flares up again, all the blame will fall on you!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes narrowed, and he smiled lightly.

"You!"

Quentin Drake’s face turned livid.

At this time, the Godly Might Marquis, ’Atharv Nigel’, stepped forward and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, as I understand... The formula is very important to an alchemist, and the detoxifying Pill Medicine formula should be Wyatt Barnes’s exclusive formula.... For an alchemist, an exclusive formula is even more important than life itself!"

"Lord Crawford’s words are true. Your Majesty, this can be understood."

Heroic also stood up and spoke for Wyatt Barnes.

"You don’t actually think I’ll rob this kid of his formula, do you?"

The emperor smiled faintly and looked at Wyatt Barnes, "Wyatt Barnes, your demand, I have granted! From today, I will issue a decree to establish the ’Brocade Clothes Guards’... and you, are the commander of the ’Brocade Clothes Guards’! As for the members of the Brocade Clothes Guards, Lord Crawford will arrange them, how does that sound?"

At the end of the speech, the emperor looked at Atharv Nigel.

"I have no objections."

Atharv Nigel accepted the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wyatt Barnes smiled and nodded at the emperor.

Standing beside the emperor, Chancellor ’Quentin Drake’, his face was as ugly as it could be.

The Brocade Clothes Guards!

Directly under the emperor and only answering to the emperor!

The commander of Brocade Clothes Guards, ’Wyatt Barnes’, was only responsible to the emperor and had the right to make independent decisions!

With the emperor’s decree, the entire Imperial City was shocked.

The Brocade Clothes Guards!

This term, until today, was so unfamiliar to everyone.

And now, it has stunned everyone.

When did such an institution appear in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom?

"Although I knew Wyatt Barnes had made great contributions this time and the emperor would reward him heavily, I never thought it would be so exaggerated... Once the ’Brocade Clothes Guards’ is established, his role as ’Commander of Brocade Clothes Guards’, is equivalent to becoming the emperor’s ’spokesman’!"

"That’s way, way over the top! Once the Brocade Clothes Guards arrives, the Imperial City is expected to become unstable again."

"Wyatt Barnes, only eighteen-years-old, has almost reached the peak of the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, it’s unimaginable!"

...

The similar remarks filled the Imperial City.

In the main hall of Crawford Mansion.

"Wyatt, you’ve really got quite some guts to even dare to blackmail the emperor."

Godly Might Marquis ’Atharv Nigel’ shook his head with a smile, still somewhat astonished by the scene he had just witnessed at the Imperial City.

A calf, unafraid of a tiger indeed!

"I was quite startled by you just now," he admitted.

Kanan Nigel also turned towards Wyatt Barnes, a wry smile on his face.

Wyatt made a faint smile, "In this situation, taking a tiger’s hide... Uncle Nigel, regarding the Brocade Clothes Guards, I only need nine elite members, excluding Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn."

"What qualifies as elite?"

Atharv Nigel scrutinized Wyatt closely, surprised that he was only asking for such a small number of men.

"Among the eight, they should at least be on the same level as Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn... As for the last one, I require someone just half a step away from the Void Realm," said Wyatt, his eyes sparkling as he spoke.

Half a step from the Void Realm?

The shock took both Atharv and Kanan Nigel by surprise.

Gathering himself, Atharv Nigel exclaimed with a laugh, "You are really something, asking for eight individuals with capabilities equal to those of Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn costs me dearly... and now, you go so far as to demand one just half a step away from the Void Realm! Do you think they are as available as cabbages on the market?"

"Uncle Nigel, if you can accomodate my request for these nine individuals, I will offer you a great opportunity," Wyatt’s eyes narrowed as he gave a mysterious smile.

"What kind of opportunity?" Atharv Nigel looked at Wyatt, puzzled.

Even Kanan took an interest in this.

"Uncle Nigel, have you ever heard of ’Monkey Wine’?" Wyatt asked with a smile.

"Monkey Wine? How’s that possible, do you actually have some?" Atharv Nigel’s eyes lit up in surprise.

Despite this, Kanan gasped, his breath becoming ragged with excitement. Monkey Wine was a treasure to those in the Original Pill Realm as it could enhance cultivation.

"Since Uncle Nigel, you’re familiar with Monkey Wine, have you heard of ’Monkey King Wine’?" Wyatt enquired further.

"Monkey King Wine?"

Both Atharv Nigel and Kanan shook their heads, having no idea what it was.

"Monkey King Wine possesses medicinal effects comparable to the ’Breaking Void Pill’..." Wyatt stared deep into Atharv Nigel’s eyes, speaking slowly, "I think, Uncle Nigel, you should be interested in this, right?"

Breaking Void Pill?

Father and son were both staggered by the mention.

Atharv Nigel was the first to recover, his pupils dilating, his breath escalating, and his chest rising and falling like bellows. "Wyatt, are...are you serious?"

Instead of directly answering Kanan, Wyatt continued, "Given Uncle Nigel’s cultivation, which is just a step away from the Peep Naught Realm, with the aid of Monkey King Wine, you would be able to break through to the Peep Naught Realm within half a year and survive the ’Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation’!"

"You little fellow, how come you know about the ’Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation’?"

At this moment, an elderly figure silently appeared in the room.

It was none other than the old Marquis from Crawford Mansion.

"Grandfather Nigel."

The arrival of the old man had been completely unnoticed by Wyatt, which made him internally sigh. This was the level of a Peep Naught Realm being - even without using any Origin Force, their presence could still be commanding.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

Atharv Nigel and Kanan Nigel respectfully greeted the older man.

"Wyatt, if Grandfather Nigel assigns you two members who are ’half a step from the Void Realm,’ will you give him two drops of ’Monkey King Wine’?" The old man looked at Wyatt, his eyes twinkling.

Two people ’half a step from the Void Realm’?

Wyatt was astounded.

It seemed that Crawford Mansion was more formidable than he had imagined.

Coming back to his senses, Wyatt gave a slight smile, "Grandfather Nigel, I’m afraid that won’t work... I don’t have many drops of the ’Monkey King Wine’."

The old man was unbothered, smiling as he said, "Then you just leave one drop for your Uncle Nigel, and Grandfather Nigel will still assign you two people ’half a step from the Void Realm’. I really did not expect you to get in touch with something as legendary as the ’Monkey King Wine’."

Indeed, the old man knew what ’Monkey King Wine’ was.

"Thank you, Grandfather Nigel!"

Wyatt chuckled before continuing, "Grandfather Nigel, I have another piece of good news...In a few days, I should be able to condense the eighth-grade red flame. When that happens, I can create the ’Clear Spirit Pill’ for you! Once you take the ’Clear Spirit Pill,’ all of your severe poisoning will be completely eradicated in a maximum of three months."

Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes lit up like dazzling stars.

Even Atharv Nigel and Kanan Nigel couldn’t help but show joy on their faces...

"Uncle Nigel, here are the medicinal herbs needed to make the eighth-grade ’Clear Spirit Pill’."

With a wave of his hand, Wyatt wrote out the list of medicinal herbs needed for the ’Clear Spirit Pill’. Of course, he had included extra amounts of each herb on the list.

The additional portion was prepared for Fill Bear to cultivate an ’Clear Spirit Pill’.

Three months from now, not only would the old man be able to fully rid himself of the severe poison, but Fill Bear would also be able to restore his cultivation to the ’Peep Naught Realm’!

"Good! I will send someone to gather them immediately."

Atharv Nigel nodded, a sliver of excitement showing in his features.

"Here is a drop of ’Monkey King Wine’."

Wyatt took out another Pill Medicine bottle and handed it to Atharv Nigel.

Upon opening the bottle, the scent of Monkey King Wine permeated the air...
