"Three years ago, during the Yunmeng Nation's talent convention, I brought some people from the Liu family to participate, thinking it would be good for them to witness the talents of the entire Qingyun Nation and motivate them. As a result, we had a small conflict with the Ming Long Guard, who were under the command of the Ming Long Prince."
"At that time, Ji Ya's father saw how arrogant the Ming Long Guard was, killing people in front of everyone without showing any respect. He spoke a few words, which angered the Ming Long Guard."
"Originally, with me there, the Ming Long Guard was nothing to fear, but in the end, the Ming Long Prince himself made a move. He killed Ji Ya's father, and as punishment for me, he severed my arms and destroyed the life force within them. Even though they have been reattached, it is difficult for them to recover."
Recounting the past, Liu Long's face was filled with pain.
Liu Ji Ya's father was his youngest and most talented son, whom he always valued. Yet, he died at the hands of the Ming Long Prince.
"The Nine Great Prodigies, each a Great Grandmaster Realm peak powerhouse. The Ming Long Prince occupies the leading position. What exactly is his strength? An invincible Great Grandmaster Realm cultivator?"
Chu Hao's tone was calm and clear as water. Above the Great Grandmaster Realm peak, there was the invincible Great Grandmaster Realm.
A Great Grandmaster Realm peak powerhouse could be found in one out of every thousand people.
An invincible Great Grandmaster Realm cultivator appeared once every several hundred years!
"Many people speculate that the Ming Long Prince is a half-step invincible, that he has not truly taken that forbidden step." Liu Long shook his head.
"Half-step invincible. No wonder you weren't his opponent. The new waves push on the old. The Ming Long Prince may be of the younger generation, far younger than you, but a new generation of talent always emerges, with brilliant works for hundreds of years." Chu Hao said slowly.
"Mister Chu, if you can see through my grandfather's injuries, do you perhaps have a treatment method?" The nearby Liu Ji Ya couldn't help but ask.
"Healing the injury isn't difficult. It's one million primordial stones for one session." Chu Hao spoke bluntly, setting a fixed price.
This was how he spoke; he didn't like to beat around the bush, preferring to speak his mind directly.
"What's the success rate?" Liu Long's eyes lit up with excitement.
"As long as you can get all the resources I require, the success rate is 100%." Chu Hao tapped his finger, sounding like metal being struck, emitting a sharp, metallic clang.
"Good, I believe you!"
Liu Long's tone was firm. If any other young man had said such words to him, he wouldn't have believed a single word.
One must know that his injuries were something that even Wan Qing, a famous master alchemist in Jade City, couldn't do anything about.
But who was Chu Hao? A person who could command a sword with his will, see through life and death, and with a single glance, see through his injuries. Any one of these things was enough to prove Chu Hao's extraordinary nature. In his eyes, Chu Hao was a divine and heavenly person. Wan Qing was nowhere near Chu Hao's level.
"As long as I can recover from my injuries, one million primordial stones is a trivial matter!"
One million primordial stones was more than what everyone in the Chu family of Baiquan Town earned combined. However, the Liu family possessed a large-scale primordial stone mine, making them extremely wealthy.
Moreover, recovering from his injuries was the most important thing. Why had the Liu family fallen to a second-tier family?
It was because Liu Long was injured. The Great Grandmaster Realm aura in his body could not flow through his arms. Although his two arms could move, he couldn't perform any martial skills.
As a result, he could not even exert half of his Great Grandmaster Realm peak cultivation.
If his strength had not been compromised, how would the Wang family, who had only become a first-tier family two years ago, dare to humiliate the Liu family and suppress them everywhere?
Strength was the fundamental thing; primordial stones were external possessions that could be earned again.
As long as he recovered his strength, all the current problems and difficulties of the Liu family could be easily solved.
"Excellent."
Chu Hao laughed. One million primordial stones was already his friendly price. If he were haggled with, he would feel that the other party didn't know how to weigh things.
Afterward, he brought out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down more than twenty different resources.
"Try to gather all these materials. Of course, if you can't find some of the materials, you can find substitutes, but the effect will be a bit worse."
Liu Long took it and looked it over.
"The majority of the materials on this list, although precious, can be found. Some, like the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, Three-Colored Pearl Flower, and Ice Jade Pond Flower, will be relatively troublesome. But the biggest problem is the Demonic Beast core of the Great Grandmaster Realm peak Iron-Armed Demonic Ape; that will take the most time."
"These things, roughly a month!" Liu Long estimated the approximate time.
"Whenever. As long as you have them all, I can start refining the pill at any time." Chu Hao said.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Liu Long quickly left to gather the resources.
"Your grandfather is gone. Time is precious. Let's start practicing swordplay. I've already made everything clear." Chu Hao said to Liu Ji Ya.
"Of course, I don't want you to see through life and death. I just want you to suppress your fear of death, overcome fear, and stimulate your potential."
"When the Ming Long Prince was mentioned just now, I saw the intense killing intent in your eyes. You must want to seek revenge on him. But if you don't even have this much courage, your revenge is hopeless in this lifetime."
"I remember the Yunmeng Nation's talent convention is held once every four years. You went to participate three years ago, so next year on August 15th will be a new one. With your current strength, you can't even withstand a single move from the Ming Long Prince. You should be very clear about this."
The Yunmeng Nation's talent convention, held once every four years, was a gathering of prodigies. The fame of the Nine Great Princes was established there.
Compared to this convention, the annual gatherings of the younger generation in Jade City seemed like a trivial affair.
