First Lord of Earth

"One hundred, two hundred... five hundred... these golden toads actually spat out eight hundred copper coins. He is indeed the richest man in the ancient Jin Dynasty. This wealth is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

The people who were watching the "Treasure Appraisal Conference" showed admiring expressions on their faces.

"How could this be? It's just a few copper coins?"

Only Shi Chong had a unhappy expression on his face. Although the number of these coins was not small, they were only considered "copper coins".

You have to know that the Eternal Land has inherited the tradition on Earth. Among the classifications of gold, silver and copper, copper is only at the bottom, let alone eight hundred. Even a thousand "copper coins" are probably not as meaningful as ten gold coins.

"Sacred items can't even cause much reaction from these toads? The vision of these golden toads is too high... So, only divine items can make them spit out silver or even golden copper coins..."

Some human lords and ancient emperors who also saw the clues were also a little surprised.

If this happens, I'm afraid there will be a huge bleeding!

"Humph, you have such high standards, so I don't believe you won't be tempted by these things..."

Shi Chong couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and snorted coldly.

After all, he was the first to go on stage, and he only accumulated some "copper coins". How could this be acceptable to him, a wealthy man from the Jin Dynasty who loved to show off!

Then, with a wave of his sleeves, several items appeared around him again, each of them was extraordinary!

Especially the three rare dragon blood corals of the quasi-god level that emit a jade-white light are very eye-catching. These dragon blood corals are grown in the soil containing the blood of a fallen real dragon, and are themselves a treasure for body-building and cultivation.

Its form has even transformed into that of a horned dragon. It can be said to be extremely precious. Even those cultivators at the demigod level would be tempted by it...

“Gugugugu…”

This time, in addition to the same "copper coin golden toad", some three-legged golden toads carrying "silver" also began to move slowly and "absorb and exhale precious energy".

Then, dozens of silver "coins" were spit out!

But even so, in the end, these "golden toads" only spit out less than 1,200 "coins" in total, and only about one-tenth of the branches were hung...

You know, Shi Chong was a wealthy man in the Jin Dynasty, and the "Jin Gu Garden" he built was even more famous than the Qiao Family Courtyard in later generations!

However, such a tycoon, who took out almost his entire fortune, only offered more than a thousand copper coins, which is only about one-tenth of the "money tree". How could it be easy?

"Humph, what do you mean by 'all your assets'? Do you really think I will reveal all my true cards?"

"The cornucopia and fortune tree are a pair of rare treasures. This treasure appraisal conference is not only to attract the Pixiu, but also to nourish these two treasures... You want me to take out a divine treasure to make wedding clothes for others? Do you really think I will be fooled..."

On the floating building, Shi Chong looked a little annoyed.

As a historical talent related to "wealth", he knew that the words of businessmen could never be fully trusted.

In fact, these "treasures" are not only useful for these three-legged golden toads, but also for the "treasure bowls and fortune trees" that absorb and transform the "treasures".

In this way, even if the "Traveling Merchant Token" is not obtained in the end, Jubaolou and Qiwufang will still make money.

"Besides, do you really think that it is so easy to swallow and spit out precious energy... At least I spit out a few coins... Some people may not even get a single coin when they really go on stage!"

Shi Chong said this coldly.

"You don't have even one. You think too highly of yourself. Everyone, let me take the first place on our side!"

In the Jubao Tower camp, one person stood up.

It was King Wuling of Zhao, holding a horsewhip, wearing Hu clothes, tall and mighty, like an unparalleled general!

During the Warring States Period, the various princes were constantly at war, and the State of Zhao was in a "four-war zone": with Qi and Yan lurking in the east, the powerful Qin attacking in the west, nomadic tribes such as Linhu and Loufan in the north, and constant frictions on the border between Wei and Han in the south.

When King Wuling of Zhao ascended the throne, the Zhao army still used traditional chariot warfare and Chinese clothing with wide robes and large sleeves, and was repeatedly defeated by the agile and flexible Hu cavalry!

King Wuling of Zhao then proposed a reform method that shocked the world and the people - to obey the laws of riding and shooting!

When all the ministers heard this, they were all shocked.

Nobles such as Gongzi Cheng denounced him for "changing the ancient teachings and changing the ancient ways", but King Wuling of Zhao convinced the royal family with his eloquent speech that "there are regular rules for governing a country, and benefiting the people is the basis".

Eventually, the Zhao army abandoned the traditional chariot units of the princes, adopted the Xiongnu's whistling arrows to command, replaced the bulky golden drums and flags, trained eagles to transmit messages to the army, and selected "Hu clothing cavalry" that were required to shoot three arrows in a row and hit the center of the bull's eye at a hundred steps while galloping.

Finally, they obtained "two hundred thousand soldiers with bows and arrows" and formed the first professional cavalry unit in China, which was a pioneer in the use of cavalry on the battlefield!

After that, he drove the Linhu to the north and invaded Qin territory to the west. He even built the Great Wall to prevent the Xiongnu from moving south to graze their horses.

This pioneer of the horse-riding and archery revolution, wearing a Hu costume, tore a tear in the splendid Chinese civilization, allowing the north wind of the grassland to carry the iron horses across the icy river, forever changing the form of war.

The strategy of the later Han Dynasty was actually, to a large extent, a continuation of the Zhao State's strategy!

"This item is a belt made from the bones of the Xiongnu Chanyu... and a horse whip made from his hair. It's not precious, but it has a special meaning..."

King Wuling of Zhao took off twelve gold buckles with wolf heads that were still shining with dark blue soul fire from his belt, as well as a whip to drive his warhorse.

The two objects were attracted by the power of the "cornucopia", and a strong jade-white light suddenly emitted from above!

"These are, two artifact-level items?"

There was a look of surprise on everyone's face.

Although, everyone present, especially those who can enter the "VIP area", is very powerful.

As for magical weapons, there are some.

But they will not take it out easily, just because the items have been absorbed by the "treasure energy", although according to Shen Wansan and Lu Buwei, it has no effect!

But this may not be true.

Besides, most people are unwilling to use their own treasures to nourish other people's treasures.

Now, King Wuling of Zhao was the first to take out "divine-level" items. These two items symbolized the Chinese history of voluntarily giving up its noble status as "Central Plains Civilization" and using its own advanced technology to defeat foreigners!

“Ding ding dong dong…”

One by one, the three-legged golden toads were breathing in and out precious energy towards the "silver moon".

Soon, coins came out of his mouth, and all of them were made of a rich silver light!

This three-legged golden toad not only requires the "quality" of the treasures it swallows, but it also obviously has a certain connection with the "historical status" contained in the treasure itself!

One hundred... two hundred... three hundred...

In the end, thousands of silver coins were hung on the fortune tree, swaying in the wind, pleasing to the eye.

Although, there were only one thousand coins, it seemed a little less than what Wang Chong had before.

However, these coins are all of silver quality, and this alone clearly distinguishes the two sides.

"Thank you, King Wu Ling, for your generous help!"

Shen Wansan, dressed in a brocade robe, showed gratitude to King Wuling of Zhao.

"Humph, it's just a mere 1,000 coins. Although the quality is good, what we want is to fill this fortune tree... What's the use of high quality if the quantity is not enough!"

A voice came from the strange things shop opposite, it was King Fuchai of Wu!

In his hand, he held a blood-red sword with exquisite shape and extremely strong murderous aura. Under the guidance of the cornucopia, it emitted a silver light with gold!

"This, a quasi-saint level long sword?"

"Yes, he is a quasi-saint, not a quasi-god? Could it be that Fu Chai meant this by holding such a sword to mock King Wuling of Zhao?"

Everyone frowned, somewhat confused as to what this meant.

"This sword is a precious sword in the Sword Pond built by our dynasty. There are three thousand similar swords in the Sword Pond..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone put away their contempt. Three thousand "quasi-saint" swords, added together, were far inferior to even ordinary divine weapons!

"Sword Pond?"

It would be fine if it happened to other people. It can be said that I don't quite understand this term.

When Xia Tian heard this term, his eyes moved.

This is because, in history, the origin of the "Sword Pool" is because "King Helu of Wu", one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, loved swords as a weapon all his life.

After his death, he was buried with three thousand swords, and the place where the swords were stored was called "Sword Pool".

Because these swords were rare treasures in ancient times, in order to prevent tomb robbery, his son, King Fuchai of Wu, killed all the craftsmen. On the outside of the sword pool, there is a large purple-brown stone inclined north-south, with an area of ​​one or two acres. It is said that it was made with the blood of more than a thousand craftsmen.

Judging from the "blood sword" taken out by Fuchai, such a legend may very well become a reality in the eternal land!

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

In fact, there is an even more important reason why summer attracts so much attention.

During these days, he specifically sought out Gan Jiang and Mo Ye to learn the art of casting. Now he is considered a master in this area.

Therefore, he could tell at a glance that the material, craftsmanship, and details of the "blood-colored sword" in Fu Chai's hand were definitely related to Gan Jiang and Mo Ye...

In addition to historical records, the existence of the Sword Pond is also recorded in some legends.

One of them is the "Sword Pond", which is said to be the place where swordsmith Gan Jiang and his wife Moye forged swords during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

According to the "Records of Wu Regions: Craftsmen", King Helu of Wu ordered Gan Jiang to forge a sword for him. It took three months, but the iron juice did not flow down. If Gan Jiang failed to hand it over on time, he would be punished by the King of Wu.

Moye asked Gan Jiang for advice, and Gan Jiang said that if a woman was paired with the furnace god, the furnace could be refined.

So, Moye threw herself into the furnace.

Suddenly, the fire in the furnace became bright and there were thousands of red lights. When the fire went out, only two flashes of green light were seen lying at the bottom of the furnace. These were the male and female swords forged by Moye with her flesh and blood.

"Well, since so many craftsmen and Moye's body have been transformed into treasures, they should not remain in Wu State, but should belong to our Ganxia Dynasty..."

After Heshen learned the origin of this "bloody sword", his eyes turned and he started fiddling with his abacus.

The emperor was so cruel that he buried living people with him; he was so wasteful that he let three thousand divine weapons become covered in dust!

Today, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye have already joined the Gan Xia Dynasty, and their companion is the "Sword Casting House". Thanks to this artifact-level companion wonder and the magical furnace, both of them are now able to create top-level "holy weapons".

However, that would take a lot of time.

If we could have the thousands of swords in this "Sword Pool" as a foundation... we could definitely forge three thousand holy soldiers, enough to equip an army that is invincible at this stage!

"Jian Chi, come out..."

In the "Qiwufang" camp, King Fuchai of Wu enjoyed the envious eyes of everyone!

A large number of blood-red sword shadows appeared around him, making him look like a "God of War".

Those were the precious auras of the other 2,999 swords, all of which were activated and reflected in the City of Saints!

“Gugugugu…”

The blood-colored sword represents the top casting skills in ancient times, and it also represents the final conclusion of a generation of overlord-level figures!

Each sword is a sword that has reached the level of "quasi-holy item".

Perhaps, the quality alone is not top-notch, but the quantity is too large... Three thousand blood-red swords, added together, are even more amazing than Xia Tian's "Throne of Swords"!

The light now emitted was like a small sun in the sky, which immediately caused almost all the "copper coin golden toads" in the pool to move.

One by one, they exhaled precious energy, and the "copper coins" spewed out from their mouths covered the sky and the sun, just like rain...

Crash!

In the end, the "Fortune Tree" on one side of the Qiwufang added three thousand coins.

Originally, Wang Chong provided more "copper coins" than King Wuling of Zhao. After adding these "three thousand" copper coins, the branches and leaves of the "Jubao Tower" suddenly became much more luxuriant than those of the "Qiwufang", and it was almost one third!

"Thank you, King Wu!"

Lu Buwei bowed to King Fuchai of Wu to express his gratitude!

"Sword Pond? It's just a treasure, not worth mentioning... I have something that is ten times better than it..."

A voice sounded in the pleasure boat of "Jubao Tower", and the tone was quite "arrogant".

When everyone looked back, they saw that it was Duke Huan of Qi, the "First Hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period". Like most of the other emperors, he still retained his most majestic middle-aged appearance.

He looked like a handsome young man, wearing white clothes, a python robe and jade belt around his waist, standing in the wind! (End of this chapter)
