Li Laobai frowned and thought: "That thing only appeared after you disappeared. As soon as you appeared, that thing disappeared again. How could you see it yourself?"
But at least this guy didn't deny it outright, which proved that what Old Man Li said was true. Old Man Li couldn't figure out the other party's access, and he didn't express his doubts for a while...
On the contrary, after hearing this, Mr. Qian and Mr. Sun trembled in their hearts: "Damn! How can this little beast be so lucky? The golden key that can detect the mutated elemental spirit must be extremely mysterious!"
"No, no matter what, this treasure cannot be made cheaper by the Chen family..."
While the two old men were secretly brewing bad news, they heard Chen Shen speak again: "Speaking of which, Cao Min's previous action of banging his head against the furnace was precisely driven by that golden key. It stood out in the sea of my soul's consciousness, seeming real and illusory.
.”
"The only thing that is certain is that the golden key shows the common people how to divide the three powers of Beidou, wind, fire and thunder. All of this feels very mysterious, as if there is God's will in the dark..."
Chen Shen's tone has always been very slow, and combined with his expression at the moment, it is really convincing that he can intimidate people.
"oh?"
Hearing this, the King of Daxia became more and more interested in the "golden key" and thought secretly: "Could it be that this boy really has some secret treasure in his body? Well, I think this possibility is extremely high."
"Otherwise, I, Daxia, have so many talented people, and it has taken thousands of years of hard work, but I only have a partial understanding of Beidou, wind, fire and thunder. How come he has become such a successful person as soon as he comes?"
"Without the help of rare objects and secret treasures, he alone, a young man with extremely limited vision and experience, would definitely not be able to achieve this!"
Thinking of this, Xia Yuanlong looked at the young man in green shirt up and down several times before he said, "Is that golden key still within your consciousness at this moment?"
Hearing this, the young man squeezed out a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it is gone. After refining Beidou Wind, Fire and Thunder, it completely disappeared..."
"Really?" The King of Daxia looked away, obviously not believing it.
At this time, Mr. Qian jumped out again and accused: "Chen Shen, what you said is too mysterious. Could it be that you just made up a lie to deceive His Majesty?"
Mr. Sun, who shared his anger, nodded sharply and said, "Chen Shen, you have embezzled a valuable royal treasure, and you are guilty of grave sins!"
"But if you can present the golden key to His Majesty, you will have made up for it. Don't make mistakes because of greed!"
When the young man heard this, his heart suddenly boiled with anger: "I'm going to mess with you! These two old guys are obviously jealous that I gave my grandfather the power of the mutated fire element, so they came out to tease me..."
There were more than forty Xuanjing alchemists present. Except for Chen Shen, the rest were all fire-based Xuan Neng. It was understandable that they were envious of Chen Zangfeng's situation.
After listening to what Mr. Qian and Mr. Sun said, King Daxia looked at Chen Shen again, and there seemed to be a hint of evil in his eyes.
Seeing this, both Qian and Sun were overjoyed: "Hey hey hey... so what if your Chen family gets an advantage? As long as your Majesty gets the mysterious golden key, he will remember the efforts of the two of us in persuading him.
"
"On the contrary, it is you and your grandson who have done such stupid things like throwing away watermelons and picking sesame seeds, and have made His Majesty unhappy. You will have to wear little shoes in the future, hahahaha!"
For a moment, everyone realized that Chen Shen was in a dilemma——
If he presented the secret treasure to His Majesty, he would be losing a rare item from heaven and earth that could reveal the mysteries of mutated elemental spirits!
Before this, I had never heard of a product with such effects.
As far as it can teach cultivators how to refine mutated elements, its value is far beyond estimating. Even the spiritual-level mysterious weapons cannot be compared with it...
But if the secret treasure is not presented to His Majesty, the King of Daxia will definitely take advantage of the situation and erase all the achievements of this young man, and will also punish him with the serious crime of "disrespecting the emperor's order"!
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Shen broke into within three feet of the incense burner without permission.
This alone is enough to put him in jail for the rest of his life.
This was all for the sake of his grandfather Chen Zangfeng.
Otherwise, for disobeying the emperor's order, it would not be an exaggeration to chop off the young man's head on the spot...
In this situation, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhou, who originally supported Chen Shen's "reward for meritorious service", now remained silent in a tacit understanding.
They were previously willing to support Chen Shen and make good friends with General Chen.
Anyway, why not just talk about it?
But things are different now.
If they continue to speak good words for Chen Shen at this moment, it will be tantamount to asking the King of Daxia to give up the magical golden key. This is not much different from seizing the treasure from His Majesty's hands.
As a minister, who would do such a stupid thing?
In just one or two seconds of silence, everyone's thoughts were spinning in circles without even realizing it.
Liao Cangmang saw that the situation was not good for Chen Shen.
Out of morality, out of respect for General Chen, and even more out of his own upright temperament, the old man suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I think..."
After hearing this sudden remark, everyone turned their attention to him, including those who sympathized, some who sneered, and some who ridiculed him.
They knew that Liao Cangmang was going to plead for Chen's family. He was so stupid!
If Chen Zangfeng knew that there was someone willing to intercede on his behalf in this situation, he would be greatly moved.
It's a pity that Mr. Chen couldn't hear anything, because he was concentrating on refining the power of strange fire.
His cultivation level is already two stars lower than Xia Yuanlong's.
In addition, when the strange fire enters the body, it has lost its "sedative" effect, so refining it will naturally take longer than the King of Daxia...
Only Chen Shen felt warm in his heart: Dean Liao really treated me well. How could I see his old man being implicated by me?
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Before the other party could finish what he said, the young man coughed violently.
After successfully interrupting Liao Cangmang's original advice, the young man said with an upright face: "Your Majesty, it is true that I had the golden key to help, but it disappeared afterwards. This is absolutely true!"
"At that time, it seemed to be some kind of living creature with a trance. It said that it had a close connection with the Beidou Wind, Fire and Thunder, and that it could help ordinary people refine it."
Hearing this, the King of Daxia asked with a smile: "Haha, so you just follow the trend and follow the instructions of the golden key to come up with the idea of Beidou Fenghuolei?"
"Of course not! Beidou Wind, Fire and Thunder is a royal treasure, how dare ordinary people get their hands on it?"
No matter what he thinks in his heart, the young man's expression at this moment is full of righteousness: "However, that golden key must let me refine Beidou Wind, Fire and Thunder!"
At this point, the young man's words were interrupted again.
Qian Lao snorted coldly: "Joke! Even if you make up lies, you still make them decent, okay?"
"I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I have only heard of cultivators controlling mystical weapons, but I have never heard of any external objects that can in turn dominate cultivators!"
Not only him, but even Xia Yuanlong's face became stern after hearing this, and his heart surged with anger: "You are such a yellow-mouthed kid, are you really an orphan? Are you so easy to fool?"
