#2683 - One pound of body weight equals one ounce of immortal treasure
However, Jun Wuxie paid no attention to the elders of the three great ancient imperial families.
Under his instructions, Zhu Yanlei hurriedly left with her men.
"Jun Wuxie, what exactly do you mean!
Didn't you say you wanted to talk?
Why are you changing your mind now!
Could it be that you really don't want the resources?"
Seeing that Jun Wuxie was ignoring them and still instructing his personal guard commander to bring the imperial grandsons, the three of them became anxious and furious.
Watching the three of them getting anxious and agitated.
Jun Wuxie leisurely took a sip of tea.
"You surnamed Jun! What exactly do you want!"
Seeing his attitude and his complete disregard for their words, the three of them became even more anxious and roared in anger.
"That's not right."
Jun Wuxie put down his teacup and looked at them with a surprised expression.
"Weren't the three of you not concerned about those few imperial grandsons just now?
Why are you so agitated now."
"Jun Wuxie, since you asked us to come to Shengu to talk, presumably your primary desire is to obtain resources, that's correct, right.
In that case, why use such extreme methods.
We were just temporarily unable to reach an agreement with you.
Since it's a negotiation, there must be give and take.
Is it not normal for us to question your conditions?
Since we didn't reach an agreement just now, we can continue to talk.
Don't be so impulsive."
The elder of the Abu family adopted a gentle attitude.
There was no other way, the imperial grandsons were in his hands, they couldn't provoke the other party into using extreme methods.
Otherwise, the ones who would suffer in the end would only be themselves, and they would ruin the imperial grandsons' future.
"Oh, is that so."
Jun Wuxie put on an expression of sudden realization, as if that was the case.
"Since we have already made everything clear, and you are willing to continue talking, quickly call back that guard commander!"
The elder of the Linlang family was extremely anxious.
Especially when he looked at the Dao fruit in Jun Wuxie's hand, he couldn't help but imagine the tragic scene of the imperial grandson being stripped of his Dao fruit.
He was filled with anger, violence, and fear!
"What's the point of calling him back since he's already gone.
Don't you want to see your family's imperial grandsons?
Just consider it an advance inspection to see the results of their training during this period."
The three of them were immediately speechless.
They no longer spoke.
Even though they were filled with anger and murderous intent, they could only forcibly endure it, they had to endure it!
Otherwise, if they angered the other party, it might harm the imperial grandsons.
They repeatedly told themselves in their hearts that the primary purpose of their visit was to bring the imperial grandsons back unharmed.
Before long, Zhu Yanlei returned.
She and her subordinates brought back six people who were thin, disheveled, covered in dust, and whose faces were so black that only their nostrils and eyes could be seen.
The elders of the three great ancient imperial families almost didn't sit still when they saw the six of them.
Their bodies were constantly trembling!
Were these still their imperial grandsons?
They had actually been tortured to such an extent that they were as thin as skeletons!
The mining clothes they were wearing looked like prison uniforms, and they were too dirty, they looked like beggars who had rolled in coal!
At this moment, the six imperial grandsons also saw the elders of their respective families.
Their dim eyes instantly filled with light, and their bodies trembled violently.
The elders had come!
After the family prodigies returned, they told the people in charge of the clan about their situation.
Now the family had sent elders to save them!
However, there were only three of them?
With the strength of the three of them, how could they rescue themselves from the fierce and terrifying Jun Wuxie?
The hope that had instantly ignited in their hearts was extinguished in an instant, and the light in their eyes disappeared, replaced by disappointment.
"You… are you alright?"
The elders of the three great ancient imperial families asked their respective family's imperial grandsons with concern, their voices trembling slightly, showing how much their hearts ached.
Just now they clearly saw the light in the imperial grandsons' eyes, but then they saw the light in their eyes dim in an instant.
Were these still the familiar family imperial grandsons of the past?
So high-spirited, so confident and proud, so unruly, so powerful imperial grandsons.
How could they be in such a state of mind now?
They no longer had their former sharpness, they were lifeless, like elderly people in their twilight years.
In such a short period of time, what kind of torture had they suffered in that mine to be reduced to this?
"The three of you have seen it, right.
They do seem to be a little mentally exhausted and their appearance is unsightly.
But their Dao hearts have been greatly improved after this period of hard work, physical exertion, and starvation.
Haven't you noticed?
They, who used to be unruly and sharp, have now become low-key and calm.
It is said that the environment can best change a person, and the facts prove that this is indeed the case, the ancients did not deceive me."
The muscles on the faces of the elders of the ancient imperial families twitched violently, their teeth clenched tightly, a ridge bulging on their faces, and their hands hanging down at their waists and legs were clenched even tighter!
They had never encountered such an infuriating and hateful person!
This Jun Wuxie was the most detestable person they had ever encountered in their lives!
Regardless of his actions or words, every sentence made them have a strong urge to go berserk!
Looking at the imperial grandsons' reactions again.
Apart from their bodies trembling slightly, they had no other reaction.
Faced with Jun Wuxie's sarcastic words, they didn't have any expression, they just lowered their heads slightly.
"Don't worry, we will definitely save you this time!"
The elders of the ancient imperial families saw their own family's imperial grandsons in such a state, came back to their senses, and secretly transmitted their thoughts to them.
However, they found that after transmitting their thoughts, the imperial grandsons still didn't have much reaction.
"Jun Wuxie! Did you break them with torture!
What exactly did you do to them?"
"I said before that they have become very low-key and calm after a period of tempering, which is of course quite different from what you remember.
If you don't believe me, you can ask them yourselves."
Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie looked at the six imperial grandsons, "You guys can tell me, am I right.
Are you satisfied with the tempering you have received these days?"
The six imperial grandsons trembled slightly upon hearing this.
Immediately, they raised their heads, revealing a hint of gratitude, "We are very satisfied, thank you for your guidance, Lord Jun."
"Very good, knowing how to be grateful, having a heart of gratitude, you are teachable."
Jun Wuxie smiled and looked at the three elders, "You have heard it, they are very satisfied with their experiences these days and have expressed their gratitude to me.
Now that the goods have been inspected, it's time to continue discussing the price."
"Then let's continue talking!"
The three elders took a deep breath, "How much of that kind of resource do you want to let us take the imperial grandsons away?"
"Yes, how much do I want?"
Jun Wuxie pondered, "How about this, the amount of resources will be priced according to their weight.
One tael of heavenly god-grade three or above immortal treasures that can achieve 20% of the effect of a breakthrough god pill per pound of weight."
As soon as these words came out, the six imperial grandsons, who had been lowering their heads slightly, clenched their hands instantly, and their bodies also trembled.
However, this change only lasted for a short moment, and they returned to normal.
However, although they appeared calm on the surface, their hearts were filled with endless anger and humiliation.
This Jun Wuxie actually treated them as goods to be sold!
The other party was selling them to their own families as goods!
How unreasonable, what a terrible act this is!
Once again, their dignity was trampled on by the other party!
At this time, the elders of the three great ancient imperial families couldn't help but shudder and their faces turned ashen when they heard these words!
Pricing according to the weight of the imperial grandsons?
Was he treating their imperial grandsons like pigs in the market?
Moreover, one tael per pound, he really dared to ask!
"Jun Wuxie, you are making things difficult for us!
You know how scarce these types of resources are, yet you are pricing them in this way!
Even if we take out all of these types of resources in the treasure vault, we will definitely not be able to gather so much!
We came with sincerity!
You also know how important the imperial grandsons are to our families!
Therefore, we will definitely do everything we can to agree to your conditions!
But the pricing method you gave is too outrageous!"
This time, the three elders were not unwilling to pay for the rare resources, but they simply couldn't produce so much.
Although the ancient imperial families had deep foundations.
However, these types of resources were too special and extremely rare.
It was possible to encounter so few of these immortal treasures only once every many years in an era.
And often these immortal treasures could not all be stored in the treasure vault, and most of them would be used to cultivate family prodigies.
They were extremely rare in themselves, and they continued to be consumed over the long years, how much could be left?
"The three of you don't need to be anxious.
The pricing method is not outrageous, I think this pricing is very good.
If you really can't produce so much, the unit price per pound is negotiable.
Now, let's weigh their weight first."
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he asked the guards to find a scale.
The lips of the elders of the three great ancient imperial families trembled, wanting to say something but stopping.
They were really unwilling to use this pricing method.
The other party was completely humiliating the imperial grandsons and also humiliating their ancient imperial families.
Pricing their imperial grandsons by the pound.
This kind of thing was simply unimaginable in the past.
Such an absurd thing actually happened today!
But they forcibly suppressed the urge to curse.
They knew very well that they could not anger the other party and could only obey the other party.
The imperial grandsons were all here. Once they were provoked, who knew which imperial grandson he might use as an example.
None of the three of them could guarantee that the imperial grandson of their own family wouldn't be the one chosen!
This feeling of utter helplessness, of being completely unable to stop him, made them feel incredibly miserable.
A deep sense of powerlessness made them feel like they were about to suffer internal injuries from holding it all in!
The hatred in their hearts was overwhelming.
But they were powerless to stop it, unable to refuse!
How had a dignified ancient emperor family fallen to such a state?
After a moment, several guards returned, along with a few middle-aged men.
These middle-aged men were carrying a large scale.
A huge weight, as big as a head, hung from the scale, swinging back and forth as they walked.
"Come, tie them up and weigh them properly, very carefully.
Our dynasty values integrity. We treat everyone fairly, young and old alike, and we absolutely cannot shortchange anyone."
Zhu Yanlei instructed the middle-aged men.
"Yes, Commander Zhu, rest assured!"
The middle-aged men glanced at Jun Wuxie with fervent eyes.
This was the Divine King! It was the first time they had seen the Divine King from such a close distance!
They were incredibly excited, their whole bodies trembling with excitement.
Immediately, they followed the instructions and tied up one of the imperial grandsons, then used the large iron hook on the scale to hoist him up.
Two people carried the scale, while one person watched the markings, weighing him very carefully.
Throughout the entire process, the imperial grandson being weighed did not struggle at all.
It wasn't that he didn't want to struggle, but he knew very well that struggling wouldn't change anything. Moreover, all of his immortal power and vitality had already been sealed.
Futile struggles would only bring him more humiliation.
He endured the shame in his heart, allowing himself to be weighed like a pig.
The sight of this made the faces of the elders of the three great ancient emperor families as black as if they had been smeared with soot, even darker than the faces of the imperial grandsons who had come out of the mine.
It was truly too shameful, too humiliating!
But they could only watch helplessly, unable to stop it, unable to do anything, and even had to cooperate silently!
"Weight, one hundred twenty-seven jin and four liang."
The middle-aged man holding the scale called out the number in a loud voice, then muttered, "Too skinny, eight-foot tall, should be around one hundred seventy jin."
The imperial grandsons and the elders of the ancient emperor families trembled with anger.
Too skinny?
They weren't skinny at all originally. Their bodies were very strong and healthy, weighing at least one hundred seventy or eighty jin.
If they hadn't been tortured, how could they have become like this?
However, the elders of the three great families also felt a trace of comfort in their hearts.
The imperial grandsons' thinness and dramatic weight loss could save the family a lot of resources.
Zhu Yanlei stood next to them, recording the weights in a notebook.
The six imperial grandsons were hung on the scale in turn, and their respective weights were measured.
"Now that the weights have all been measured, if you three have any objections, you can come and weigh them yourselves."
"We have no objections!"
The elders of the three families said with dark faces, forcibly suppressing the violent anger in their hearts.
Weigh them ourselves?
Wouldn't that be humiliating the imperial grandsons again?
After returning, the imperial grandsons would skin them alive!
