Absolute Resonance

"Two high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures for one bottle of quasi ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights? Lu Shuanglu isn't that profiteering?" Li Luo's expression turned a little dark as he unhappily replied to the grinning Lu Shuanglu.

In the Heavenly Dragon Treasury, a high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure would go for around 30,000 dragon essences and a bottle of quasi ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights would have the same price. Meanwhile Lu Shuanglu had asked for a price twice as high!

That was simply too expensive.

When faced with Li Luo's furious retort, she spread out her hands. "Hey, you can't slander the reputation of the Golden Dragon Bank? The items in the Heavenly Dragon Treasury are greatly discounted for the Five Guardian Armies. We, on the other hand, have to operate a business and can't give you the same price. If you feel that it's too expensive, you don't have to do business with us."

With Lu Shuanglu this old hand around, she didn't care if Li Luo would agree or not. After all, there were already so many other individuals asking to do business and they could make a killing during the opening of the World End's River Treasure Domain.

Li Luo looked at the bottles of quasi ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights, seemingly unwilling to be separated from them. However he then decisively turned his gaze away. There was no choice. He simply didn't have the high-grade treasures required for exchange.

"Do you take loans?" In the end Li Luo asked the question, not wishing to give up so easily.

Lu Shuanglu rolled her eyes at him yet again as she waved her hand. The middle aged Duke had a mocking smile as he retrieved the jade box.

"Do you think I'm Sister Qing'er? Do you want to get serviced without paying? The Golden Dragon Bank never allows for people to take a loan on their items!" Lu Shuanglu coldly snorted.

Li Luo shook his head sadly.

"Wanting a loan is impossible but what I can do is keep these quasi ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights for you for a period of time. Once you've obtained the Foundational Spirit Treasures, you can come and find me." Lu Shuanglu continued.

"Alright." Li Luo sighed as he nodded his head.

"Go go. The group of you should work hard. I hope you all reap many treasures." Lu Shuanglu didn't continue to banter, instead placing two hands behind her back as she turned around to leave. The Golden Dragon Bank's squad then followed behind with Zhang Cuicheng grasping his staff tightly. He nodded at Li Luo coolly, slowly following the team before gradually leaving.

Li Luo looked in the direction which they left in as he muttered. "It feels like the amount of treasures they have on hand is greater than what you can get in a large Other Dominion..."

Li Foluo hurriedly spoke up to curb his dangerous thoughts. "A long time ago, a King had the same thought. He coveted the possessions of the Golden Dragon Bank and in the end, he was caught by the Heavenly Emperor of Golden Dragon Mountain and suppressed within the depths of a Golden Dragon Bank Auction House for a hundred years. Over that period of time, everyone who came to trade with them could personally witness the King being imprisoned."

Indeed they had acted decisively and cruelly.

Li Luo was left widened and speechless. Even a King had been suppressed for a hundred years for others to watch. These friendly businessmen with a reputation that harmony breeds wealth were actually terrifying when provoked. That said it made sense. It was as the common folk said, there would probably be no Heavenly Emperor power that could surpass the Golden Dragon Bank in terms of wealth. Thus they would likely possess immense power to safeguard it.

All of the Three Families had a Heavenly Emperor as well. It also meant that their foundation was something that no ordinary Heavenly Emperor power could compare with.

"We are all just friends, why would I go and steal from them? Wouldn't that be too immoral." Li Luo righteously replied.

Li Foluo nodded his head. "Well in the end, it looks like Zhang Cuicheng wasn't looking to find trouble for you and that's a good thing. His strength is exceptional and with the support of the Golden Dragon Mountain, clashing against him would undoubtedly be a troublesome affair. It seems like Grand Commander Li Luo has forged impressive friendships. Who would have known that he'd have friends even within Golden Dragon Mountain? She even beseeched someone else to travel thousands of miles just to assist him within the Treasure Domain. It seems like this relationship isn't shallow."

As Li Foluo spoke that final sentence, Li Luo could feel Jiang Qing'e's casual gaze shifting towards him. He immediately felt a chill on his back before he glared angrily at the stone headed Guardian General. If he couldn't say something positive, he shouldn't speak at all!

"Ah, let's go. Time is tight and we should quickly enter this small Other Dominion and confirm Senior Hongyou's treasure finding abilities!" Li Luo hurriedly changed the topic.

"Indeed indeed. That's what's important!" Li Foluo similarly got excited over this. If Li Hongyou had such an ability, they would be able to make a tonne of money!

The group no longer chattered as they entered the distorted space before them with Li Foluo and Jiang Qing'e in the lead.

Just a few steps later, Li Luo could feel that his surroundings had turned gloomy as the originally empty plains transformed. They had appeared within a dark and dense forest which was dimly lit.

Within the dense forest were countless gigantic inky black trees. Each tree possessed twisted branches and the trunk itself seemed to give off a ferocious look as strange faces appeared on it.

Corruption spewed in every direction.

As the group entered in a line, it seemed like the place was now coming to life. The previously stagnant ghostly trees quickly revived and their thick branches were waving like ghostly appendages. There were even pale white banners which hung from the branches.

A cold aura permeated the area coming from the banners and they seemed to have been created from human skin. It was wrapped with an icy corruption as it swept towards the group.

The Greater Heavenly Resonance stage squad members' expressions changed. They hurriedly activated their resonant power and remained on alert, ready to attack at an instant.

Weng!

However, before they could take action, blinding light resonant power like the sun bloomed in the midst of the dark forest as it splashed outwards in every direction like holy light, directly purifying all of the corruption present.

The pale white banner similarly turned into dust.

In just a few short breaths of time, all of the ghostly trees around them in a thousand feet had been purged into dust.

This sort of speed caused Li Foluo to sigh in admiration. This might be a small sized Other Dominion but getting rid of these strange Others always required quite a bit of time. Sometimes it even required effort.

Meanwhile, with just a single move, Jiang Qing'e had disintegrated them all.

It was as though she was the natural nemesis of Others.

Her three ninth-grade Light resonances produced a light resonant power that could be said to be invincible against Others.

The majestic sacred light that was emitted expelled the darkness from this Other Dominion. At this time, a sharp hissing sound was heard from the depths of this dense forest. At this point they could see that the layers of trees were swiftly vanishing.

No, they weren't vanishing but instead were being retracted into the depths.

The group could now see a towering ancient tree that was swiftly devouring the smaller trees. It seemed that this was the Other that controlled this Other Dominion.

From the corruption emanating from it, it should be equivalent to a second-grade True Devil.

It had clearly sensed the danger and had reabsorbed all of the other trees back into its body.

However Li Foluo wasn't planning to give it any chances. With a single step he bounded outwards and four towering Duke Bergfrieds manifested as incredible amounts of Divine Mist rolled out of it.

He clenched his fist and struck outwards fiercely.

Weng!

The void around him seemed to shatter at that instant and a bright rainbow fist manifestation shot outwards. It was covered with the scales of a dragon and emanated a tyrannical might.

The Tree Other screeched angrily as countless palms stretched out from the branches to form an unsettling shield made from it.

Bang!

Of course now that a fourth-grade Duke had taken action, a second-grade True Devil would naturally be unable to receive it. The fist manifestation descended and crushed the palms like dry twigs, even causing the trunk of the tree to crack as corruption flowed out of it like blood.

Li Foluo's single attack had grievously injured it.

That said, the Other possessed immense lifeforce and countless white sprouts sprouted out from the cracks left behind by his attack, attempting to mend the damage dealt to it. However at this point in time, a radiant sword light swept downwards to the trunk, severing it into half.

At the same time, the purification powers of the light resonant power completely obliterated the tree.

In just tens of breaths of time, the second-grade True Devil had been completely vanquished with Li Foluo's and Jiang Qing'e's efforts. Meanwhile at its previous location, a deep hole appeared.

When Li Hongyou walked forward, she waved her hand and 3 balls of flowing light surfaced.

The balls of light emitted an incredible fragrance and everyone could feel familiar fluctuations from it.

They were Foundational Spirit Treasures!

Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e and Li Foluo looked on with anticipation.

Of the 3, 2 had weaker spiritual energy and were clearly low-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures.

However the last one seemed to emanate much more vigorous spiritual energy. It was like an icy cold bead as cold air spread from it. Snowflakes and ice crystals continued to condense in its vicinity.

At the same time the group gasped as their gazes turned heated.

This was indeed a middle-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure!

Li Foluo sucked in a breath in shock. This demonstrated that Li Hongyou's ability to sense treasures was indeed genuine.

Furthermore, the odds of a middle-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure appearing in a small Other Dominion would usually be one in ten.

"We're going to strike it rich this time." Li Foluo emotionally spoke to himself.

Li Hongyou smiled slightly as she stretched out towards the three Foundational Spirit Treasures.

However at this point voices suddenly rang out.

"Wait. Don't touch it." The ones who had spoken were actually Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

Li Hongyou looked suspiciously at the two and noticed that the duo were warily inspecting the object.

This caused her eyes to shrink slightly.

Was there a problem with it?
