Chapter 96 Coveting the Sacred Object

To be honest, Lu Changjing felt strange before.

Ning Zhongyu is just an intermediate-level grandmaster. No matter how extravagant he is, how much resources and treasures he can consume, how can he exhaust the huge royal secret treasury and Daning's treasury?

Such expenses are too much and a bit unjustifiable.

I originally thought that Ning Zhongyu had saved all these resources and treasures for himself to use slowly, but he did not expect that they were actually used by Ning Tianbao.

That makes sense.

The value of every divine item that helps break through the shackles of gods and demons far exceeds that of ordinary dynasties, and even some of the better ones are worth as much as the dynasty.

Under such circumstances, it was normal for the royal secret treasury and the Daning treasury to be exhausted in order to raise a few treasures that would help break through the realm of gods and demons.

Even this is a bit too little. It is estimated that Daning's years of accumulation have been used, and only then can he purchase a few magical items to assist breakthroughs.

It's a pity that Ning Tianbao is a bit unsatisfied. He seems to be still cultivating and improving his energy and spirit, and still dare not break through the bottleneck.

At the same time, Hu Bu, Cao Wenzheng and others are being asked to continue to collect resources and treasures to exchange for the divine objects, or to search for the whereabouts of the divine objects to increase the probability of completing the level.

Jin Longyu lived up to his expectations. He recently collected a rare divine artifact, the Soul Protecting Fruit, which has a certain auxiliary effect in breaking through the shackles of gods and demons.

Although it can only increase the probability of breakthrough by about 1%, it can protect the soul. If the breakthrough fails, there is a high possibility of saving one's life.

The difficulty and risk of breaking through the shackles of gods and demons can be described as a narrow escape.

Most of the great masters who failed to attack the shackles of gods and demons basically died, and only one in a hundred survived.

It is precisely because of this that Ning Tianbao is so cautious and does not dare to attack the shackles of gods and demons without enough confidence.

According to Jin Longyu, Ning Tianbao already has two or three divine items similar to the soul-protecting fruit in his hand, but this has increased the chance of passing the test to about 20 to 30%, so he has not yet passed the test.

If Lu Changjing could grow up early, he might be able to snatch Ning Tianbao's pass-through artifact and use it for his own pass-through.

As long as he can step into the realm of gods and demons, the entire Daning Dynasty will be his plaything.

However, Ning Tianbao is also the biggest trump card of the Daning Dynasty today. Although he has not yet reached the level, he can be regarded as half-stepping into a higher level.

Coupled with the fact that he possesses several artifacts and the trump cards left behind by the royal family, it is not easy to take him down.

Not to mention that deep inside Daning Xiaoling and Yangxing Hall, there are old monsters from the previous royal family hidden. Many of them have lived for more than four hundred years. Although they are about to be buried, their strength has reached an unprecedented level.

It is not easy for Lu Changjing to truly take over the entire Daning Dynasty.

This made Lu Changjing, who had originally decided to act boldly, think it would be better to keep a low profile and not be too promiscuous. It would not be too late to wait until he was promoted to a god or devil.

Just knowing this matter made it worthwhile for him to take action against Jin Longyu.

The harvest this time is really beyond imagination.

And from Jin Longyu, Lu Changjing got another magic storage ring, named Huaxiang, which made Lu Changjing's head hurt.

The romantic and talented Jin Longyu is truly well-deserved, as can be seen from the name of this ring.

Its internal space is only one cubic meter, which is twice less than the Blue Sky Divine Ring, but it is also extremely valuable and can easily buy several houses.

There are three thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, twenty pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones, and nearly a hundred bottles of various elixirs.

The most important thing is that with more than a dozen top-level spiritual weapons, Lu Changjing can completely assemble a set, allowing Lu Changjing to replace his shotgun with a cannon, further increasing his combat power.

As worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and worthy of being half the owner of Daning's treasury, Jin Longyu has been really greedy in recent years. No wonder he can practice to the level of a great master.

The important officials of the imperial court in this world are much bolder than the important officials of the ancient imperial court in the previous life. For no other reason than because of their extraordinary power, they have the ability to give it a go even at the last moment, so they will not be too afraid.

Even His Majesty, the majesty of the Emperor, did not dare to push his important ministers too hard, lest the other side's men would become angry and bloodied, or they would directly surrender to the enemy.

Jin Longyu dared to be so bold, naturally there was this reason, otherwise he would not have dared to be greedy to this extent just because of his status as an important minister of the peace faction.

But now Jin Longyu's life and death is in Lu Changjing's hands, so he naturally dares to plunder his resources and treasures, of course in the name of borrowing them.

He even blamed Cao Wenzheng for this matter, saying that Cao Wenzheng had taken away a lot of his resources and treasures, and he didn't even have enough for his cultivation.

Jin Longyu also thought about His Majesty the Emperor's previous sale of royal property, and had no doubts about it. If His Majesty the Emperor had money and resources at that time, how could he sell the property that the Royal Family used to make money.

This made Jin Longyu also resentful towards Cao Wenzheng. If it weren't for him, how would His Majesty the Emperor have borrowed his own resources and treasures, even most of the top spiritual weapons.

The soul-fixing clock, a top-level spiritual defense weapon that he had worked so hard to obtain, was also borrowed by His Majesty the Emperor. He didn't know when he would be able to return it. Just thinking about it made him feel heartbroken.

Lu Changjing was not prepared to let this Minister of the Ministry of Revenue live on forever. Once he was done using him, he would crush him to ashes.

The reason is that unlike Cai Gu and Cao Xiuyuan, he was basically ordered to collude with demons and monsters. In fact, he himself was somewhat reluctant to be a traitor, and there was nothing too bad about him.

But Jin Longyu was different. Although he was born as a scholar, he was a famous and talented man when he was young, and won the praise of countless people.

But his viciousness was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Colluding with demons, betraying the people of Daning, secretly making deals with Yingkou, killing people and stealing treasures... Many bad things were led by him, not passively involved.

It was also because of his crazy money-making that the Daning treasury became richer and richer year by year, and he was valued by the old emperor Ning Tianbao and the young emperor Ning Zhongyu, thus stabilizing his position as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

These evil deeds could not be washed away at all, and of course Ning Zhongyu, as the emperor, could not wash away either, so when Lu Changjing ordered Jin Longyu not to sell out the people as much as possible and exchange benefits and resources from demons and monsters, he had to change his statement.

Otherwise, it would be easy for Jin Longyu to suspect him, after all, some of the orders to sell out the people to the demons and monsters were issued by Ning Zhongyu.

Now Lu Changjing suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which was a bit too strange.
