Chapter 1000 - The Earthvein Spiritual Fruits (2/2)

Lu Xiaoyao said, “Little girl, that’s true, but we really can’t afford to offend the Dragon Royal Family.”

He Ziwei asked, “Are we going to give up just like that?”

Lu Xiaoyao said, “Let’s go and discuss it with the other party. If the Dragon Royal Family refuses to cooperate with us, we will have to give up.”

Qin Haodong understood. After all, Lu Xiaoyao’s Alchemist Association was in the Dragon Kingdom, so he had to be responsible for hundreds of alchemists under his command.

Qin Haodong stopped Niu Cuihua who was about to say something, and then said, “Let’s do as President Lu said and see if the other party agrees to cooperate with us.”

Lu Xiaoyao nodded and walked forward with the crowd. Before they took a few steps, more than a dozen palace guards immediately came to them.

These guards were selected elites. Each one of them was above the stage of the Combination Realm.

“Stop. What are you doing here?” the leader of these guards shouted.

“I am Lu Xiaoyao, the president of the Alchemist Association. May I know who is in charge here?”

When he heard that he was the president of the Alchemist Association, the face of the leader immediately eased up and said, “It’s the First Prince.”

Lu Xiaoyao said, “Can you help to inform his highness that Lu Xiaoyao wants to see him?”

“President Lu, please wait a moment.”

The leader of these guards turned around and walked into a camp. Not long after, a young man in his 30s came out.

This person was dressed in a glorious outfit and exuded a dignified bearing. It was the first prince of the Dragon Kingdom, Li Zhen.

After seeing Lu Xiaoyao, he stepped forward and said, “President Lu, why are you here?”

Lu Xiaoyao said, “I have been observing this Earthvein Spiritual Fruits tree for a long time. I want to try my luck today, but I didn’t expect to meet you, Your Highness.”

Li Zhen said, “President Lu, since you have been paying attention to the tree for a long time, I think you know that there is an Earth Bear guarding here. Although the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits are treasures, you can’t get them. Please go back.”

Lu Xiaoyao said, “Your Highness, would you like to cooperate with us? There are five Earthvein Spiritual Fruits in total. We only need two.”

A trace of contempt flashed across Li Zhen’s face. “President Lu, there is really no need for me to cooperate with you. We can do it ourselves.”

Previously, as a mark of respect for Lu Xiaoyao’s status as the president of the Alchemist Association, he was polite to Lu Xiaoyao, but this kind of politeness was only on the surface. His attitude toward Lu Xiaoyao changed instantly after he knew that Lu Xiaoyao also wanted to get Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.

“This…”

Lu Xiaoyao stared at the cave for a long time. He was really unwilling to give it up.

As if reading his mind, Li Zhen continued, “President Lu, to tell you the truth, my sister is injured and in urgent need of these Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.

“Moreover, we have one master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm and two masters at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so there is no need for us to cooperate with you.”

When he found that the other party’s strength was so great, Lu Xiaoyao sighed. It seemed that he could only give up.

“Then I will take my leave, Your Highness.”

Li Zhen said, “Take care, President Lu.”

Niu Cuihua was about to take action again. Qin Haodong immediately stopped her. Then, they followed Lu Xiaoyao and He Ziwei and left the valley.

After they left, Lu Xiaoyao said apologetically, “Little magic doctor, I’m really sorry you came here in vain. The circumstances have changed, and I can’t help it.”

Qin Haodong said, “It doesn’t matter. After all, the other party is the Dragon Royal Family. We can’t afford to offend them.”

Lu Xiaoyao smiled apologetically and said, “What are you going to do next? Would you like to stay in our Little Dragon City for a few days?”

Qin Haodong said, “President Lu, we appreciate your kindness. What’s done is done. We won’t stay here any longer. We want to go to Dragon City.”

“Well, little magic doctor, let’s hope we can meet again someday!”

Lu Xiaoyao said goodbye to them and flew toward Little Dragon City.

After he left, Niu Cuihua said to Qin Haodong, “Hubby, are we just going to give up like this?”

“Of course not. We must get those Earthvein Spiritual Fruits,” Qin Haodong said. “Lu Xiaoyao is the president of the Alchemist Association after all. It’s not convenient for him to offend the Dragon Royal Family. We had better do it ourselves.”

Niu Cuihua said excitedly, “That’s right. The Dragon Royal Family is nothing. Let’s go and kill them all now. At that time, the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits will be ours.”

She had never feared anyone or anything. What’s more, she already held a grudge against the Dragon Royal Family. Therefore, she didn’t care in the slightest.

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “We can’t do that. Didn’t you hear that they have one master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm and two masters at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm.”

Niu Cuihua said, “What’s the big deal? Leave the master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm to me and leave the other two masters at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm to the two Flame Gold-eyed Beasts. I don’t believe we can’t defeat them.”

“That won’t do. Fighting head-on will always be the worst option. It might even be a Pyrrhic victory if we win in the end.

“The Earthvein Spiritual Fruit is a natural treasure. We don’t know how many people are keeping an eye on the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits tree. Now we only know that the Dragon Royal Family is guarding it. There may be others lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance.”

Qin Haodong was very clear about the strength of the Dragon Royal Family. In contrast, his side was still at a disadvantage.

After all, Niu Cuihua had just stepped into the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm. There was definitely a gap between her and the opponent’s master who had improved to the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm for a long time. Moreover, his sniper rifle was useless against the master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Thus, his side would have no advantage in a real fight.

Niu Cuihua said, “The men of the Dragon Royal Family are standing guard there. How will we get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits if we don’t kill them?”
