The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Alright." Since Jin Rou was not in a hurry, he agreed. After all, he still had some several days left before his departure. And if ever he became short in time, he could just use his gate to teleport to the physicians guild.

He paused for a moment and asked Ku Ming, "What business do you have here?"

For traveling so far like this, Jin Rou knew that it must be an urgent matter. After all, the distance was so far, that it already reached another continent.

"Ah, it\'s just some business deal, and I was tasked to carry this on." Ku Ming said, "We badly need it for a certain person in our clan."

Jin Rou looked at Ku Ming. This certain person seemed to be the rumored First Ming Ancestor of the Ancient Ming Clan. Now, he was more curious about what type of item that the First Ming Ancestor needed. Was it something like the compass?

Seeing that there was no response from Jin Rou, Ku Ming added, "Well, that item is very vital in order to extend that certain person\'s lifespan. Though it was only a substitute for that certain item."

"Certain item?" Jin Rou asked.

"Yes, the elders of my clan gave a mission to retrieve the item from a very very far away place. However, a word had reached me that they had failed to retrieve that." Ku Ming answered, "So this item that I was about to deal with, is something that could be a substitute to extend one\'s lifespan."

Lang Zing could not help but join the conversation, "There is an item as magical as that? If that\'s the case, it can really help any dying Immortal Emperors?"

"Of course. Would I be taking this so much trouble if it\'s not that important?" Ku Ming said, "I need to get that item no matter what. If I need to use my status in the clan, I will use it."

"But those people who possess it, I don\'t think you can intimidate them that much." Jin Rou said realistically, "They are beings that could possess such a powerful item. It means that they have the capability to protect it."

"I know that, Youngmaster Jin." Ku Ming smiled, "But I am Ku Ming, the future clan master of the Ancient Ming Clan. What\'s there to be afraid of? Besides, Youngmaster Jin, an Immortal Emperor, is present here."

Ku Ming had never felt any jealousy for Jin Rou possessing such power at a very young age. He always believed in himself and knew that he would reach a realm greater than what the First Ming Ancestor had reached. In fact, he was already planning what to do when he ascended to the Outer Heaven. Although he was a bit wary because of Jin Rou\'s temper, he believed that Jin Rou would not do something silly like hurting him. After all, Ancient Ming Clan had his back. Unless Jin Rou wanted to suicide, he better think twice first before touching him.

Besides, Ku Ming was badly itching to find out who was that insolent being who killed Lai Ming. When the word from the Ancient Ming Clan had reached him, it greatly infuriated him, wanting to skin that person alive. If ever he would get the chance, he would personally skin that man alive.

"I\'m not planning on helping you with your business." Jin Rou said coldly, "But if you have the capability to take advantage of me, I would not mind."

"Ah, what capability? I am no match against Youngmaster Jin." Ku Ming shook his head and smiled wryly. Really, what could he show against an Immortal Emperor?

He took a deep breath and said, "Whatever, I just want to settle this deal as soon as possible."

Revenant Heavenly Sect. This was a sect of the Sea Continent that has two Immortal Emperors! They owned almost three percent of the whole sea continent and was dubbed as one of the rulers of the Sea Continent. This sect stood tall and mighty that it made its disciples arrogant enough to cause trouble without getting punished. Of course, that\'s only for those disciples who had an importance in the sect.

And currently, this was where Jin Rou, Lang Zing, and Ku Ming were at. This was the place where Ku Ming\'s business deal would be dealt with.

"Youngmaster Ming, welcome! You can call me Auntie Mu." A middle-aged woman greeted them personally. She sized up Jin Rou and Lang Zing first before going back to Ku Ming and said, "We are waiting for your arrival! I know you traveled very far, so how about taking a rest first and sip some nice tea with your friends here?"

"Ah, thank you for the offer." Ku Ming smiled, "But I am in a hurry so can I now talk to the master that owns what our desire?"

"Is that so?" Auntie Mu said with an indifferent tone, "Well, since the High Elder already knew you came, then, please. I will guide you to his room."

"Thank you." Ku Ming said. After which, Auntie Mu personally guided the three young masters to the grand room, where the sect master and the High Elders were present.

"Youngmaster Ku, it\'s good to see you healthy. You have grown into a fine young man. No wonder the Ancient Ming Clan will be prosperous once you take the throne." An old man chuckled and said.

"High Elder Kumi is praising me much. That\'s not worth mentioning." Ku Ming said in modesty, "So, can we talk about the business now?"

"You\'re in a hurry, aren\'t you?" High Elder Kumi said, "Very well. But before that, I would like to say that before we can seal the deal, we need the approval of the other three high elders and the sectmaster, yes?"

"No problem." Ku Ming smiled. He already expected this, so this was not new to him.

"Alright, so what can you exchange with our Thousand-Life Lotus?" High Elder Kumi crossed his fingers and said. Although there was said to be a deal, the Revenant Heavenly Sect was not yet aware of what item the Ancient Ming Clan would like to exchange to their item.

Ku Ming picked something from his inventory ring and put a golden ring in front of him. This ring sparkled with have a very ancient aura within. Just by one look, one could already determine that this ring was not something that you could see outside.
