Zither Emperor Chapter 313 Chapter 94 Artifact Treasure Part 1_1

313: Chapter 94 Artifact Treasure (Part 1)_1 313: Chapter 94 Artifact Treasure (Part 1)_1 With the limited time he had, Xiao San had the Red Spirit refine some Kongou essence (diamond essence) and demon silver.

This was, in fact, his main reason for seeking the aid of the Dwarf race in craftsmanship—the biggest bargaining chip he brought to the table.

He hadn’t expected to encounter the Dwarf race under attack by the Beastmen.

Using this opportunity, if he could persuade the Dwarves to settle in Qin City, it would be nothing but beneficial for the future development of his territory.

Honestly, Ye Yinzhu harbored no great ambition; he simply wished to build his domain into a solid foundation, to provide support for Zi, and to bee the cornerstone for the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

As for the future, who could predict it?

Seeing the Kongou essence and demon silver, the four Dwarf Tribe Elders were in an extremely excited state.

Elder Lucino murmured, “Such pure Kongou essence.

If I could use this, even ordinary steel mixed with a bit of Kongou essence would bee exceptionally hard weapons.

And if we were to mix in demon silver and incorporate certain Magic Formations, it could even bee a Soul Device—it’s not out of the realm of possibility.”

Turning his gaze back to Ye Yinzhu, he asked, “Where did you obtain this Kongou essence and demon silver from?”

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and replied, “I obtained them near my Qin City’s Territory.

May I know if the Elder is satisfied with these two metals?

If you like them, please consider them my gift to the Dwarf race as a token of our first meeting.”

A flash of light shone in Elder Lucino’s eyes, and he shook his head, placing the Kongou essence and demon silver back into Ye Yinzhu’s hands, “I am satisfied, but perhaps too satisfied.

Indeed, Kongou essence and demon silver are precious, far beyond my expectations.

But such precious metals are few, and our Dwarven crafts require consummation of a large amount of other metals.

With only these, you have yet to prove to us that your Qin City possesses enough metals for us to use.”

Ye Yinzhu was taken aback, not expecting his offer to fail to move the heart of the First Elder.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind, “I have a way to prove to the Elders.

Red Spirit, e forth.”

A red light emerged from beneath the protection of the Moon God, flowing like a liquid without dispersing.

The red glow flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it moved in front of Ye Yinzhu.

As the light gradually ascended, the liquid began to take shape, and the Crimson Spirit appeared silently.

“Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor,” the Red Spirit bowed respectfully to Ye Yinzhu.

With its high intelligence, it was now utterly devoted to Ye Yinzhu and preferred to follow him around, whether it was the aura from Ye Yinzhu, which belonged to the Amethyst Behemoth, or his zither music, both were of great assistance to the Red Spirit.

“What…

what is this?” Elder Lucino’s pupils contracted sharply.

A type of magical beast came to mind, but he couldn’t recall any that could turn into liquid—this scene was simply too wondrous.

Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly and said, “This is the Red Spirit, my friend.

I believe the Elders have all heard of the Red Essence.

The Red Spirit is one of the rare remaining Red Essence.

With him around, I’m confident that the Elders will no longer have doubts about my ability to provide metals.

The Kongou essence and demon silver were both refined by the Red Spirit.”

“Truly a Red Essence?” Elder Lucino looked skeptically at the Red Spirit and said, “But I don’t remember Red Essence being able to turn into liquid!”

The Red Spirit declared proudly, “That’s because I am no ordinary Red Essence.

Speaking in terms of demon beast ranks, I have just evolved and broken through the constraints of a rank seven Magical Beast, reaching rank 8.

Shape-shifting is a new ability I’ve acquired.

Although I lack formidable offensive power, as a support-type magical beast, no one can pare with our Red Essence.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded and added, “Indeed, it’s thanks to the Red Spirit’s shape-shifting ability that I am able to have wings and fly.”

“What is a Red Essence?” Rutz asked curiously, turning to his great-uncle.

A brilliant light flared in Elder Lucino’s eyes, “A Red Essence is one of the most marvelous magical beasts.

Their greatest ability is to detect the presence of rare metals because those are their food.

The most mon metal they consume is Mithril!

No wonder there’s such pure Kongou essence and demon silver.

Lord Ye, you have brought me too many surprises.

You are right, with a Red Essence, you have already proven your capability to provide us with sufficient metals.

We don’t even need you to supply us with ordinary metals; just the ones found by the Red Essence, keeping a small portion as our remuneration, would be plenty.”

Another Elder beside Lucino muttered to himself, “We don’t even need remuneration.

If I could use Kongou essence and demon silver to craft weapons, I’d be willing to do it for free.

Just working with these supermetals is a treat in itself!”

Looking at the Elders before him, the Red Spirit stated indifferently, “Kongou essence and demon silver are nothing but ordinary substances.

Just give me time, and there will be plenty of better things to find.

Within the Burna Mountain Range near our Qin City’s Territory, I have already detected at least ten rare mineral deposits.

Given enough time, I can undoubtedly find many substances far superior to Kongou essence and demon silver.”

The Red Spirit was clever, having listened attentively to Ye Yinzhu’s previous conversation with the Dwarves, and naturally understood what Ye Yinzhu meant.

He naturally helped his own Zither Emperor express this sentiment, which was certainly more convincing ing from him than from Ye Yinzhu himself.

Lucino swallowed hard, “It seems I see a Divine Artifact beckoning me.

Lord Ye, I have to admit the power of Qin City is formidable.

This second condition, you’ve directly passed it.

As for the third condition…” Pausing for a moment, his eyes revealed a hesitant glow, and the three other Elders beside him were also watching him, seeming not too keen on him proposing this third condition.

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “What other condition is there, Elder, please speak.” He was quite clear that the appearance of Red Essence had basically conquered the hearts of these Elders.

Even if he couldn’t meet the last condition, they would probably still choose to relocate to Qin City.

After all, the safety of the Dwarf race didn’t allow them to make rash decisions, and at least until now, there was no place more suitable for them than the Burna Mountain Range.

After hesitating for a long while, Lucino still made a decision, “For this third condition, we hope to have a Treasure parison with My Lord.” Due to the strength Ye Yinzhu had shown, the Elder’s tone had bee much more respectful.

Ye Yinzhu was taken aback, “Treasure parison?

What does that mean?”

Lucino explained, “Simply put, it’s where we and you each bring out three treasures for parison.

Of course, Lord Ye, please don’t misunderstand, it’s just a simple parison to prove whether the strength you possess is capable of protecting our Dwarf race, nothing more.”

Before Ye Yinzhu could speak, Anya couldn’t hold back, “Elder Lucino, this seems rather unfair.” By age, Anya was even a few years older than Elder Lucino, it was just because Elves lived much longer than Dwarves that she still looked like a young Elf girl.

“Your Dwarf race has always been known for its craftsmanship.

Could you possibly be lacking good items?

Yin Zhu is only seventeen this year, he hasn’t been on the Continent for long, and our Qin City has just started being built.

What can he possibly bring out to pare with you?

This is unfair.”

“This…” Lucino hesitated for a moment.

In fact, after the appearance of the Red Essence, he had already made up his mind to head to Qin City.

The reason he proposed this third condition was because he wanted to know just how strong Ye Yinzhu’s strength was or how abundant his resources were.

“Miss Anya, please don’t misunderstand.

We’re just paring, no need to decide a winner.

Moreover, I’ve pretty much made up my mind about the Dwarf race’s relocation to Qin City.

This last point can no longer be considered a condition; I hope you can understand.

How about this?

If the three treasures Lord Ye brings out are stronger than the ones we present, we’ll let Lord Ye choose one from among them.

What do you think?”

Anya was about to argue further, but was stopped by Ye Yinzhu.

He naturally took hold of Anya’s delicate hand, saying, “Sister, since the Elder wishes to pare, let’s pare.

Even losing in a parison of treasures to the Dwarf race wouldn’t be shameful.”

Ye Yinzhu’s hand was warm, the forting heat preventing Anya from voicing her objections.

An unfamiliar feeling passed from her hand, and she looked at Ye Yinzhu, realizing that she didn’t feel it was her place to decide.

Since he wanted to pare, she would leave it to him.

Biting her lip, Anya fell silent, but beneath her waterfall of blue hair, her pointed ears had already turned red.

Lucino gave a slight smile and turned to Rutz beside him, “Clan Leader, bring out your Eternal Barrier.”

When Rutz had returned to the Dwarf race earlier, he had already taken off his armor.

Hearing his uncle ask for it now, his face turned embarrassed, “Grand Elder, my armor is damaged.

I fear it needs repairing; let’s not bring it forth to lose face.”

Lucino looked at him in surprise, “What?

The Eternal Barrier is damaged?

Could the Beastmen’s attack have involved some Divine Artifact?”

Rutz glanced at Ye Yinzhu, head bowed, and said, “No, it was during a previous exchange with Brother Yin Zhu that it was inadvertently damaged a bit.”

Lucino took a deep breath, his gaze towards Ye Yinzhu pletely changing, and probed, “May I ask what Divine Artifact Lord Ye used, that could even damage the Eternal Barrier?”

It was Rutz who answered Lucino’s question on behalf of Ye Yinzhu, “It wasn’t a Divine Artifact, but a special method of attack.

Scores of strikes hit the same spot on my breastplate, which left some marks on the Eternal Barrier.” Even now, the burnt spot on his chest still ached a lot, but with his strong recovery ability, he hadn’t used any medicine to treat it.
