Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny Chapter 1573 - 806: Making Friends

Within Tianshu, a room undetectable by any device.

The phonograph played soft jazz lodies, so pleasant to the ear.

In the midst of classical luxury, Ji Jue lay on the bed, feeling utterly limp, barely able to move. His body was emitting black smoke in sync with the phonograph's rhythm.

Treatnt.

Wisps of black ash mingled with erald flas floated off Ji Jue's body, adhering to the record, causing the lody to gradually beco sharp and eerie. The soothing singing turned into a piercing screech, unable to continue playing.

The staff at the side, fully equipped with protective gear, carefully used tools to pick up the damaged record and put it into a specially sealed container.

The mist of corruption had been mostly stripped away.

Once the phonograph lost the record, it surprisingly began playing again automatically, sending people's consciousness into waves of hazy confusion, while sticky blood began seeping out from the phonograph.

The association's guards rushed forward, hurriedly placing binding gear on the phonograph, pulling out its probe, and categorizing and storing everything properly.

"The first phase of treatnt ends here, we'll resu in four hours."

The master overseeing the treatnt glanced at the report in his hand and gave Ji Jue a slight smile: "You can rest now, you might feel a bit disoriented, but that's normal, no need to worry."

"Huh? Oh, okay, I understand."

Ji Jue nodded sluggishly, and people imdiately left the room, gently closing the door. It was a long while before he snapped out of his lengthy sleep-like daze.

Realizing the damage to his body, covered in cracks, still maintaining its rebirth form, appearing more like a scrapped machine, looking so tragic.

In reality, the situation was unprecedentedly good.

Compared to the erosion and materialization by Zhi Fu, these damages were rely insignificant symbols. After the Three-phase Alchemy rotated twice, it imdiately beca flawless.

In truth, even the erosion and materialization by Zhi Fu were not a problem, but he dared not say…

The results of ten battlefield victories earned him an undeniable hero's treatnt.

Gustav awarded him on the battlefield, with the entire association and You Sui witnessing together. From a talent to a strongman, from a good and beautiful jade to a truly heavenly work.

From an Ember Chosen One without even two years of craftsmanship license, he suddenly leapt to beco a master on top of countless craftsn.

It's foreseeable that his na becoming known in the world is just a matter of ti.

From now on, no matter which peer sees him, they must bow and address him as Master Ji, including Lou Feng.

Gustav even directly authorized the usage of hidden and blocked Heavenly Artisan resources to clear Ji Jue's Zhi Fu contamination without sparing any cost.

Know that there are countless craftsn in the association trapped by materialization mutants yet not a whiff of this resource was leaked before.

Just by seeing how applications require the signatures of three directors to verify and pass, you can tell how precious it is.

And yet, it was wasted on himself.

Such a waste.

Heavenly Artisan wasted, Great Evil Essence wasted too.

Although in the Crack Realm, the Demon's Shadow had devoured to the point of exhaustion, it doesn't stop it from being a little nibble for later, right?

This grand retreat seed tragic, but in actuality, he profited imnsely.

They say killing peers is the best shortcut for progress; just the good products and even Heavenly Artisan crushed by the Dissociation Technique almost made Ji Jue throw up from overindulgence.

For the first ti, he felt unable to consu any more.

This decision against the Embers of Decay, with eating and taking, really let him enjoy it fully, and whatever he couldn't consu was all packed and dragged out for him.

In the future, nibble away slowly along the edges!

However, the only flaw among all this is that despite munching through so many experience bags, comprehending countless assorted inheritances, why hasn't his rank grown?

Transcend Rank remained unshaken.

Before coming, it was a step away, and after coming, it's still a step away, having consud so much, with no change at all. Surely it's not just because he hasn't eaten enough?

Or does he need to eat a bit more?

"...Baby, my baby."

Ji Jue lay on the bed, cataloging his gains. From the pile of treasures, he picked out a golden shimring ring, feeling as if his eyes were being illuminated:

"In my twenties, I've amassed hundreds of treasures, yet none like this one?"

In his palm, the Siegfried's Ring forged in gold, dimly glowing, its aura fragrant, so enticing...

Heavenly Artisan possesses spirituality, though dim and close to failing, it does not respond to craftsn like Ji Jue who are outside the inheritance, unable to pass internal certification, but it doesn't stop it from being a goldmine of an experience package.

From this mouthful, the legacy of the Hero Seed and even the Spirituality of the forr Saint's Shadow might be within reach, provided he doesn't mind the reputation of North Wind Workshop and the Northern Realm being permanently marked as indifferent.

Even if Ji Jue truly shatters it, Yellow Beard would have no complaints. After all, there's no reason to return sothing found after passing through several hands.

Yet it seems too much a waste.

Ji Jue sighed lightly, ultimately placing the almost oily ring back on the table.

There's no need, not for this one bite.

Besides... Great Craftsman, you wouldn't want the Heavenly Artisan of Beifeng to be lost out there, would you?

Thus, as if the wind from Beifeng finally blew to Tianshu.

The knock on the door sounded.

"Co in."

Imdiately, the door revealed a burly craftsman with tattoos across his bald head, his yellow beard glistening like gold, carrying two fruit baskets in hands as big as cauldrons.

His face, usually perpetually stern and somber, twitched continuously as if in a stroke, laboriously squeezing out a reluctant smile.

Coming to be taken advantage of.

"Coming late, Great Craftsman."

Ji Jue laughed, "You ca, so why bring stuff?"

Are you going to bark again?

Yellow Beard rolled his eyes, but before they could fully roll, his gaze was fixed on the table, looking half-rolled and a bit creepy.

If he were to stick out his tongue and make a V-sign, it might leave Ji Jue with a lifeti of psychological shadow.

He couldn't help it; it's not like he wanted to.

But who would have thought that Siegfried's Ring would be tossed onto the table by this dog without even a tray!

Now seeing that the Heavenly Artisan's heritage is intact, Yellow Beard finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body unwinding.

He really feared Ji Jue might be starved to madness!

But just as he was feeling fortunate, he saw Ji Jue baring his teeth in a bright smile at him.

The body that had just relaxed instantly tensed up again, wanting to curse in Northern Realm dialect.

It was as if a sharp blade was hanging over his head, with nowhere to dodge, yet he needed to smile and lean into it, offering this dog a pleasant chopping.

In the past, he might have wanted to drag it out a bit, putting on an act. But now, at this critical mont, this dog Ji Jue seed ready to go out partying any ti, so he dared not delay.

If I'm going to die, let's get it over with once you show the stuff. How much? Just na the number quickly!

"I left a bit early, not sure how things went afterward."

Ji Jue asked, "How did the battle go today?"

"Wins and losses, but you stole all the spotlight."

Yellow Beard sat down, sighed with emotion, and got straight to the point: "No need for small talk, Ji Jue. You should know why I'm here, no need for probing. I've brought the permission and authority from the Master Craftsman and Great Commander."

"Please speak." Ji Jue nodded.

"There are two plans from North Wind."

Yellow Beard said bluntly, "The first is the Great Commander's permission."

He paused, his expression twitching slightly, ultimately forcing himself to draw his gaze away from the ring, sighing helplessly: "This thing can be given to you, besides, the heritage call and other related technologies can also be given to you..."

"What?"

Before Yellow Beard could finish, Ji Jue interrupted, dumbfounded.

Wait, buddy!

I called you buddy and you really gave it? Are you Northern Realm folks too generous?!

"With conditions."

Yellow Beard said, "You need to join the North Wind Workshop, and it doesn't matter if you're an outsider. Skills and heritage cannot be passed on, and after you die, we want to reclaim the Hero Seed."

Ji Jue suddenly fell silent.

Yellow Beard also stopped talking, and after a long while, there was a regretful sigh.

"Change it."

He said, "Truly unsuitable."

Indeed.

Seeing him refuse, Yellow Beard couldn't help but exhale in relief, his expression much calr.

Even though he knew the Great Commander was gambling, betting that Ji Jue could rise to beco a strong ally for North Wind, but also gambling that Ji Jue wouldn't make a wrong move that could doom North Wind, even the Northern Realm!

Doesn't North Wind fear Ji Jue's bird cage swapping? Doesn't the Northern Realm fear the Federation's big hand could reach its heart through Ji Jue?

Sotis union brings benefits, but the premise is maintaining distance beforehand, not getting tangled in everything.

"In that case, I have another suggestion." Ji Jue suddenly said.

He paused, glanced at the table, and with a nonchalant smile said, "I don't value it that much, you can take it back, consider it as making friends."

"..."

For a mont, Yellow Beard was visibly pleased, almost agreeing, but soon hesitated, stopping himself.

Finally, he just self-mockingly sighed:

"Change it."

North Wind in the Association and the entire present world is formidable, with a mixed reputation, vindictive, cunning, and insidious, needless to say.

But so things can be said without consequence, while others should not be spoken lightly.

Such words, the debt of gratitude would be too great.

If soday Ji Jue cos to collect this favor, how would North Wind deal with it?

If we are friends, then we must not hesitate to brave dangers.

Dare he?

Dare he gamble on the entire workshop, even the Northern Realm?

Now Ji Jue isn't just an individual, in various senses, he represents Sea Tide Military Industry, Coastal Industry, Coast Technology, from Hai Province to Central Earth to Seven Cities... not to ntion the craftsman's inherent ability to stir things up. If Ji Jue really wanted to create chaos, he couldn't even imagine the magnitude.

But as he was struggling to speak, he heard Ji Jue's voice: "I ant not North Wind, but you."

For a mont, he was stunned, instinctively standing up.

Looking at Ji Jue, speechless.
