The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 250 - 249: Apologize and Make Amends

Chapter 250: Chapter 249: Apologize and Make Amends

"Aren’t you here to bow down to Emperor Immortal Sect?" Ye Xuan rubbed his nose and said softly.

As soon as these words came out, the Sect Masters of the three major cultivation sanctuaries were somewhat embarrassed.

Although they were indeed there to bow down to Emperor Immortal Sect, such things are generally not spoken outright, as it allows both parties to save face.

The saying goes, "Always leave room for maneuver so that you can meet again with grace."

That’s what it refers to.

It’s just that they didn’t expect Ye Xuan to directly speak out about the matter, which caught them somewhat off guard.

And it wasn’t just them; even Jiang Jing, Lu Chengde, and Qiu Wenhan were taken aback, before they quickly coughed a few times.

"Ye Xuan, these are Sect Masters from the three major cultivation sanctuaries, all your seniors, you mustn’t be disrespectful." Jiang Jing said symbolically.

Of course, Jiang Jing was well aware that Ye Xuan would not take her words to heart, not that she expected him to, but rather she wanted the Sect Masters from the three major sanctuaries to hear her.

"It’s alright, no harm done." The Saint Master of Spirit Array Palace waved his hand, looking amiably at Ye Xuan: "Young Friend Ye Xuan is truly a young hero, and it is indeed astonishing for someone of our generation."

"Enough, I dislike pointless talk." Ye Xuan looked at the three, with deep eyes and calmly continued, "The words spoken earlier still count—you will apologize to Emperor Immortal Sect in person and then present the appropriate cultivation resources to take away the corpses of the Supreme Elders from your three forces."

With these words, the atmosphere in the great hall instantly became solemn.

Jiang Jing and the other two sat beside Ye Xuan, silent, handing over the right to speak entirely to Ye Xuan.

On the other side, having heard this, the Sect Masters of the three major cultivation sanctuaries also reined in their smiles, returning to their usual indifferent demeanor.

The terms were now clearly laid out by Ye Xuan.

There was no need for pretense or evasion.

"I must be frank, we three forces have indeed come here to offer an apology to Emperor Immortal Sect. The event at Wansheng Mountain Arena was indeed our fault," calmly stated the Saint Master of Spirit Array Palace, who took the initiative to stand up and bow towards Ye Xuan, Jiang Jing, and the others, "On behalf of Spirit Array Palace, I apologize to Emperor Immortal Sect."

"On behalf of Xuanmo Cave, I apologize to Emperor Immortal Sect."

"On behalf of Smoke Mist Mountain, I apologize to Emperor Immortal Sect."

The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave and the Mountain Master of Smoke Mist Mountain also stood up and bowed to everyone.

It must be noted that these three were the leaders of their respective forces, representing absolute power.

Today, all three leaders were personally bowing to Emperor Immortal Sect, an event that could certainly be described as incredibly astonishing.

It was also apparent that the three forces were indeed sincere in their intentions.

"My fellow Daoists..." Seeing this, Jiang Jing was inwardly shocked and was about to speak.

However, Ye Xuan shot Jiang Jing a glance, signaling her to sit down.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jing obediently seated herself.

Such a scene would have been absolutely unimaginable in the past.

Before, Jiang Jing, Ye Xuan’s mother-in-law, could be described as harsh and indifferent towards Ye Xuan.

But now, Jiang Jing was actually abiding by Ye Xuan’s word.

In this way, Ye Xuan and the others calmly accepted the apologies from the three leaders.

Of course, it was really only Ye Xuan himself who accepted it without reservation.

Jiang Jing, Lu Chengde, and Qiu Wenhan all felt as though they were sitting on pins and needles.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, these three leaders, both in strength and reputation, were far above them.

In normal times, it would be difficult for them to even meet with these leaders, let alone in the current situation.

But for Ye Xuan, accepting apologies from these three was only natural.

After all, it was the three major cultivation forces that were first disrespectful to Emperor Immortal Sect.

"That’s enough."

After a full three seconds had passed, Ye Xuan then spoke.

An apology in which one only bows and then quickly rises lacks sincerity and can even be considered perfunctory.

Only beyond three seconds can it count as a genuine apology.

For the three leaders to go to such lengths, it seems they had already made up their minds.

The three leaders slowly straightened up and resumed their seats with composed expressions.

Everything that had happened today had been thought through by them the day before, so there was no feeling of unpleasantness.

Even if they were upset, they had to endure it.

"Now that you have apologized, let us discuss the matter of compensation," Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Although these three had apologized sincerely, different matters must be treated separately. An apology with compensation was promised, and thus mere words would not suffice.

After all, if it hadn’t been for Ye Xuan’s far-sightedness, who detected the conspiracy of the three major cultivation Sacred Lands early on, it would have been the Emperor Immortal Sect that suffered.

Moreover, people from the three major cultivation Sacred Lands also participated in the matter at Golden Pond.

They even mobilized more than ten cultivators from the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Nine of them entered the Golden Pond.

If they were let off with just an apology, that would be letting them off too lightly.

Ye Xuan was not one to make such a losing deal.

"I hear that your sect is restarting the Artifact Refining Hall, and we from the Spirit Xtreme Sacred Land are willing to offer five Yuan Mines, as well as a Melting Furnace of the top ten." Spirit Xtreme Sacred Land was the first to state their position.

Five Yuan Mines, ten top-grade Melting Furnaces.

This was even more valuable than the three Red Iron Mines that Ye Xuan originally demanded from the Lie Tian Heavenly Country!

The most crucial point was that the ores mined from the Yuan Mines far surpassed Red Iron Ore.

The fact that Spirit Xtreme Sacred Land could offer up five Yuan Mines all at once showed they were truly determined.

Jiang Jing, Lu Chengde, and Qiu Wenhan were all thrilled upon hearing this, with their hearts beating wildly.

"That is acceptable, but there needs to be an additional one hundred apprentice Artifact Refiners. These apprentices will need to be personally selected by the master of our sect’s Artifact Refining Hall."

Ye Xuan said unhurriedly.

The Saint Master of Spirit Xtreme Sacred Land couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth; he was prepared to be heavily fleeced by Ye Xuan, but to his surprise, Ye Xuan only asked for a hundred apprentice Artifact Refiners. He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "As you say."

Ye Xuan turned to look at the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave.

The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave said, "Xuanmo Cave is known for producing Spiritual Pattern Pens, and your sect also has the existence of the Spirit Array Palace. Xuanmo Cave is willing to offer one hundred thousand Third-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens, ten thousand Fourth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens, three thousand Fifth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens, five hundred Sixth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens, three hundred Seventh-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens, fifty Eighth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens, and ten Ninth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens as an apology to your sect."

Hearing this, Jiang Jing, Lu Chengde, and Qiu Wenhan couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

The three major cultivation Sacred Lands controlled the largest cultivation resources within a hundred thousand miles of the Sky Azure Mountain Range, and Xuanmo Cave was renowned for producing Spiritual Pattern Pens, but they did not expect such a generous offer.

One must know that the entire Emperor Immortal Sect only has one Eighth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pen, which Zhou Lian typically can’t bear to use.

Xuanmo Cave was suddenly offering fifty Eighth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens and ten Ninth-rank Spiritual Pattern Pens!

If these were auctioned off, it’s hard to say how many billion Spirit Stones they would fetch.

"Only Spiritual Pattern Pens?" Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Hearing this, the hearts of Jiang Jing and the others nearly leaped out of their chests.

So many Spiritual Pattern Pens, and they want more?

The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave heard him and laughed, "If Young Friend Ye has any requests, feel free to state them. Xuanmo Cave will do its best to fulfill them."

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Send a hundred apprentice Spirit Array Masters."

"Eh?!" The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave was momentarily dumbfounded before laughing, "Agreed!"

He thought Ye Xuan would ask for something significant, not expecting it was also just apprentice Spirit Array Masters.

At this moment, not only the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave, but the others also caught on to Ye Xuan’s plan.

He was to start building up the foundations of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Knowing that the Emperor Immortal Sect was somewhat weak in terms of disciples, so directly choosing apprentice Artifact Refiners and Spirit Array Masters.

This was another form of power growth for the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"And what about Smoke Mist Mountain?" Ye Xuan turned to look at the Mountain Master of Smoke Mist Mountain and smiled indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Master of Smoke Mist Mountain first bowed, then said, "Smoke Mist Mountain is willing to offer five Spirit Mines, five Medicine Fields, and in addition, fifty bottles of Smoke Mist Holy Liquid."

At these words, Jiang Jing and the others trembled with excitement.

Five Spirit Mines, five Medicine Fields.

Those weren’t even the main point!

Fifty bottles of Smoke Mist Holy Liquid, which was an extremely rare treasure only found in Smoke Mist Mountain.

It was said that this Smoke Mist Holy Liquid, naturally formed by heaven and earth, could cleanse one’s physical body and even elevate the Daoist Platform!

What does it mean for the Daoist Platform to be elevated?

It means helping a Flawed Daoist Platform elevate to a Less-flawed Daoist Platform.

And aiding a Less-flawed Daoist Platform in becoming a Flawless Daoist Platform!

You must know, once a Daoist Platform is established, it is completely formed and can’t be changed.

But this Smoke Mist Holy Liquid can reverse the situation, which is quite astonishing.

It is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure exclusive to the Smoke Mist Mountain.

Unexpectedly, Smoke Mist Mountain was willing to part with as many as fifty bottles at once, which represented at least five hundred years of their production!
