Levi, Tang Long, Zhang Ye and Zhang Fei sat in the living room facing each other.
Tang Long took a sip from the tea in the cirle coffee table in front of them, he couldn't stop shaking once he learned that there is a panacea in modern earth, the problem is, he needed to get permission from the person commanding Levi, "When do you think he could come?" Tang Long asked, the shakiness in his voice couldn't be left unnoticed.
"Let me call hi-" Levi felt an arm in his shoulder, he turned back and saw Apollo who was leasurely taking a sip of tea while standing.
Everyone in the room turned their gazes towards Levi's back, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. They were even rubbing their eyes and pinching themselves to see if they were dreaming.
Even Tang Long couldn't help but be shock, not because Apollo appeared out of nowhere, but because of the aura Apollo gave. Tang Long has lived for centuries, and only now has he seen an aura much more terrifying than his.
The feeling of powerlessness came to him, even in his prime, he couldn't match against such a monster. Apollo's aura is so thick that it could solidify at any given moment. But in an instant, it disappeared, as if it was never there to begin with.
"No need to call me. State what you want." Apollo snapped his fingers and a throne appeared out of nowhere. Zhang Fei gasped. Because their family's business is all about jadestones and gems, she had a guess of what the gems are in the throne.
Covering the throne are an assortment of gems, every gems is as pure as the last one, there are no impurities. Seeing Apollo sit in the throne made them feel as if they are people serving the king.
Everyone had their mouths agape except Levi, he's already numb of Levi's surprises, so seeing a throne appear out of nowhere is somewhat tame to him. He kneeled in front of Apollo and spoke, "Boss, Tang Long said he wants to buy what's left over of the pill, but I don't know what's the price,"
What Levi said piqued Apollo's interest, the reason for him coming to Hong Kong is because he still needed to make connections in this world, his first target would be the Zhang Family.
Of course, he is only doing this to get closer to Tang Long. Tang Long is like the queen in chess, he could do anything and at the same time be loyal to him. He is the perfect candidate to become ruler because of those traits, and one more good thing about Tang Long is that he won't need to painstakingly teach him about cultivation because Tang Long already has knowledge and experience in cultivation for centuries.
"What about we do a trade?" Apollo proposed.
"W-what kind of trade?" Tang Long replied instantly, he won't let go of the chance to get the panacea.
Hearing Tang Long's hurried response, Apollo's lips slightly curved but disappeared as quick as it appeared, "You bring what's most precious to you at the moment, and then if I like it, we'll trade,"
Tang Long's body trembled, having centuries of knowledge, he of course knows that what Apollo said has a few hidden meanings in them.
Immediately, his daughter's image flashed in his mind. There are a lot of meanings in what Apollo just said, one of those is that the 'precious' he is implying is Tang Long's daughter, Tang Tang.
Or, Apollo just meant a precious material possession he has, but Tang Long doesn't know that. Tang Long sighed and refused immediately, if he has to trade his daughter for a pill, thenhe would rather not go on with the trade.
"Good choice. One thing I hate the most is greedy people." A smile appeared in Apollo's expressionless face. If he wanted to have someone rule this planet, then the ruler would have to be a clear minded one.
If Tang Long were to accept the trade, then he would have no choice but to make Levi the ruler instead, even though Levi doesn't have any experience, he would just have to learn along the way.
With a wave of his hands, a spirit stone appeared out of nowhere, Tang Long almost choked himself when he saw the spirit stone. He has been trying to find a good quality spirit stone ever since his soul transmigrated to earth, he didn't think that it would arrive sooner than expected.
"This should help you ward away those insects that were bothering you previously" Apollo added.
The spirit stone floated motionlessly towards Tang Long. The spirit stone isn't all that special though, it was only a high tier spirit stone he made by solidifying his Qi to an extent. Although it's only a high tier spirit stone, it took Apollo much effort to make because of it's low quality.
But to cultivators like Tang Long who needed resources, a spirit stone in this level could make him breakthrough to golden core stage middle level if given time.
A Golden Core Stage middle level is enough for the time being, Tang Long could ward off any insects that would bother him with that level of strength.
"I have another proposition to make," Apollo turned his gaze towards Zhang Ye. He wasted so much time on Tang Long that he almost forgot what he was here for, "How about we do a cooperation?"
"Y-yes, I a-agree," Zhang Ye nodded profusely, if there was someone that could make Tang Long act like that, he would definitely listen on whatever it is that is requested.
The Zhang family may be big now, but they are a family that is going on decline for a couple of years because of their lack of martial artist in the family. Wealth isn't the only thing needed to be powerful, martial artist are the foundation of any family.
Having a strong backing like Apollo could help them, so he didn't dare to decline and instead agreed instantly at Apollo's proposition.
"Good," He waved his hands and the throne disappeared as if it was never there, Apollo then sent his instructions to Levi, "You could talk to Levi about the details, farewell," with that said, Apollo disappeared from the Zhang family's manor.
Everyone breathe a sigh of relief, Apollo's domineering aura was so suffocating that they held their breath for as long as they could. Seeing that Apollo left, Zhang Ye immediately helped Tang Long get up from the ground.
Tang Long stared blankly at the spirit stone Apollo gave, it was not only a mid grade spirit stone, but a high grade! Spirit stones are a commodities in the cultivation world, it could even be used as currency.
Grades of spirit stones implies how pure and how dense the Qi in it is, the grades are as follows, Low, Mid, High, Supreme, Heavenly, and Divine. In the mortal realm, a High grade spirit stone would make a mortal become a powerhouse if used properly.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fei just stared at the scene that just unfolded with bewilderment. No matter how much she pondered on it, she couldn't find any solution. Because her family's business is jades and gems, she of course has a pretty good eye in that aspect. And seeing those jades and gems embedded on the chair shocked her so much.
Every piece of gem embedded on the throne could make any common person turn into a billionaire if they were to sell it. The purity of the gem is out of this world, she who was teached by her grandfather couldn't even find any impurities on those jade stones.
