Zhan Long Chapter 1273- Country Jade

Chapter 1273- Country Jade

I looked at the Overlord Set stats, the 30% increase of stats per death was weakened to 15% and there was a limit of 10 deaths. It was not possible to die to kill stronger bosses, the price I had to pay was huge too.

But b.u.t.terfly received a notification that it could be evolved but I couldn’t trigger it myself. My support skill was alchemy and not blacksmithing so I had to find Palace Spirit.

I clicked on my friend list and found her and sent a message, “Spirit where are you, my weapon can be leveled, can you help me look at it?”

“Okay!” Palace Spirit replied very quickly, “I am at the workshop on Fan Shu City, Brother Guild Leader you can come over!”

“En!”

……

I left Frost and Lan Kou before returning to the city!

“Shua!”

I appeared in Fan Shu City and headed to the workshop. Fan Shu City was huge and it was a city focused on defence and military. There were 7 workshops to craft weapons and armor for Royal Army. The Tian Ling Empire Ministry of Personnel also set up weapon workshops here. Fan Shu City produced large amounts of weapons for the various armies of the empire.

The first workshop had around 40+ players and the rest were NPCs. Most of the people here were from Zhan Long and they were raising their skill familiarity. When I entered, they turned around to greet, “Guild Leader, you are here!”

I nodded my head and then saw that Fox was here too. He held a gun and looked as Palace Spirit hammered a piece of iron.

“Fox you are here?” I smiled.

Fox smiled, “Right, the guild is making an iron bow mould, level 220 Divine Bow that greatly increases Archer damage, I am monitoring it!”

No wonder so many blacksmiths were here, the scenes were really majestic.

‘Ding!”

A bell took shape in Palace Spirit’s arm and she had completed it. She smiled, “Brother Fox, I completed 100 of them, I don’t have enough materials so go get some hundred year metal. Brother Guild Leader, show me the weapon you want to upgrade!”

“En.”

I pa.s.sed b.u.t.terfly over. This five star G.o.d weapon was given an upgrade function by the system and the next grade was Epic Grade. I was really looking forward to it.

“Spirit, can you upgrade this?” I asked.

She held the handle and closed her eyes. Blue light wrapped around and a few seconds later she opened her eyes, “There are two upgrade directions, brother you have to choose one.”

“Oh? Which two?”

This novel is available on Hosted Novel.

“First is to upgrade to Epic Grade G.o.d Weapon, the conditions are more simple, 50 ten thousand year pieces of metal and a level 19 crafting blueprint. The second one is tougher, to upgrade to Supreme Country Weapon. No, it should be much tougher, you need 200 pieces of ten thousand year metal, 3 blueprints. Apart from that, you need a country jade.”

“Country Jade?”

“En, I don’t know what that is so you have to search for it yourself.”

Fox said, “Ten thousand year metal is 20 thousand RMB a piece so you can buy that. The level 19 blueprint is 50 thousand a book and they are okay. The key is the Country Jade.”

I nodded, “Okay, Fox help me prepare the metal and the blueprints, I will go search for the Country Jade.”

“En!”

……

I was excited as I looked at the sword, could this sword really reach Supreme Country Weapon? I thought about how strong Dancing Forest was with Rising Sun Bow, b.u.t.terfly would be really terrifying too. Everyone was looking forward to it!

My head hurt when I thought about the jade, where should I find it?

It didn’t feel right to ask Frost. Frost was focusing on the G.o.d demons so she definitely couldn’t come into contact with the jade, so ask those old officials in Tian Ling City!

I teleported over!

I headed to the Palace hall and this time lochlan wasn’t there. The guards told me that the emperor was playing chess with a few officials in the back garden. When I rushed over, I saw Lochlan playing chess with Zhu Hai. There were a few officials beside, two marquis and one count, they were all people with status.

“The Executor is here!” A guard said loudly.

Lochlan stood up to welcome me and I waved, “Your Majesty continue, I came over to take a look.”

“Oh?”

Lochlan said, “I didn’t expect Master Li to have time to see us play chess.”

I smiled and crossed my arms while standing beside a stone pillar. The palace’s back garden really was different. It was really luxurious but Lochlan didn’t care about all that. Most of the people he had beside him were guys, the maidservants mainly carried wine and fruits.

Zhu Hai moved the pieces while smiling, “The Executor is so nice to see us play chess?”

I smiled and said, “Actually I came to ask all of you a question.”

“Oh?” Marquis Yuyang who was spectating smiled, “What does The Executor want to ask?”

I said, “Have you all heard of the Country Jade?”

“Country Jade?” Not only Yuyang, but even Zhu Hai was also stunned. They looked at me and Marquis Yuyang said, “That is something only the emperor can have, what is The Executor looking for this for?”

I said, “I need to upgrade my weapon. Don’t worry, I am not looking for it to revolt or something.”

Lochlan laughed, “Master Li is joking!”

I said, “Lochlan so do you know about it?”

Lochlan nodded, “It is a treasure that has been pa.s.sed down since ancient times and it is something the rulers dream off. However, it slowly disappeared and people stopped using it to represent the emperor.”

“Actually…” Zhu Hai said.

I was delighted, “Does Ocean Duke know where it is?”

Zhu Hai was on opposing sides as me but he really helped. He raised his head and said, “Based on what I know, it was in the hands of the first Emperor and then the empire fell apart. It fell to many marquis and people who got it were said to be chosen by the heavens and once they lost it, people said that they lost their luck. Many years later, it absorbed the soul of many emperors. Emperor’s children formed an army called the Iron Guards and started a war to get the jade back. They placed it in Emperor s.h.i.+’s tomb and then this jade didn’t see the light of the day ever again.”

“Oh, so it is still in his tomb?”

“Right.” Zhu Hai said, “But no one knows where it is. Those Iron Guards are sealed in with him so even if you can find it you might not be able to get the jade.”

I licked my lips, “I want to try, does anyone know where it is?”

Zhu Hai shook his head, “I don’t.”

Lochlan was shocked, “This… Does the marquis know?”

The emperor himself asked so the few marquis frowned. A few seconds later Marquis Yuyang said, “Actually, I heard some rumors.”

“Oh? Quick!” I said emotionally.

Marquis Yuyang cupped his fists, “The Executor, Emperor s.h.i.+ was an ancient emperor and he brought many treasures and mysterious items into his tomb. Many people craved these items but no one found them. Actually, I found a mysterious person in the Fire Stone Mountain Range and he told me that the fengshui place he is at is the Seven Star Dragon and it sank into the east ocean. Every 500 years is a cycle and when the stars rise, the seven stars of the east ocean will line up and point to his tomb. Although now is the 500 year cycle, but it is too difficult and one has to head deep into the ocean!”

I smiled, “Thank you Marquis Yuyang, I understand!”

Lochlan was worried, “Master Li, do you really want to search for the emperor’s tomb? This… You are the pillar of the empire, we can’t lose you!”

I smiled, “Don’t worry your majesty, I have been taking risks my whole life, no one can kill me, don’t worry.”

“En, Master Li please return soon.”

“Okay!”

……

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a quest so it seemed like it wasn’t so easy to find the tomb. There were no coordinates so I had to find it myself.

It wasn’t too safe alone so I needed to call a few more people. Best would be those that have ascended that could take care of me.

The same formation. Wan Er, Dong Cheng, Dancing Forest, and Darling Duck, a total of five people. Moreover, four of them were mid G.o.ds. This formation was really overpowered and no one else could ama.s.s such a formation in the world. Xue Rou was going to lead people to fight S7 dungeon so I didn’t call her over, if not we could form a G.o.d Zhan Long team.

……

We prepared for an hour and the sky was about to turn black. We gathered in the port of the east sh.o.r.e.
