Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027: Bought with Money! Exchanged for a Creation Divine Weapon! Gathering Notice!
The God Slaying Cannon that Mu Jinyu chose was entirely jet-black, slightly different from the others which were black gold in appearance.
But what surprised the Zhenhai City Lord wasn’t this; it was that this jet-black God Slaying Cannon was covered in cracks, and according to their staff’s estimation, this cannon could only be used two or three more times before it would likely be completely scrapped.
Therefore, Mu Jinyu’s pick of this particular cannon left the Zhenhai City Lord quite astonished.
He didn’t expect that Mu Jinyu would bypass a better God Slaying Cannon and choose one that was about to be scrapped instead.
Initially, he thought Mu Jinyu wanted a God Slaying Cannon for self-defense, but seeing his selection, the Zhenhai City Lord felt he had misunderstood him.
Mu Jinyu must have wanted a God Slaying Cannon solely for research, thus opting for one that’s nearly scrapped rather than a good one!
"Alright, no problem!"
The Zhenhai City Lord naturally didn’t refuse and agreed immediately.
Then, after some hesitation, he suggested, "This God Slaying Cannon isn’t very good, it can only be used a few times. Why not choose a better one..."
"No, just this one. It has more character," Mu Jinyu replied casually, shaking his head slightly.
"Alright then!"
Seeing Mu Jinyu’s conviction, the Zhenhai City Lord decided not to persuade him further, nodding lightly without another word.
Subsequently, Mu Jinyu had the Zhenhai City Lord remove the restrictions on the cannon, and, suppressing his inner excitement, stored it inside his Qiankun Ring.
Indeed, the reason this true God Slaying Cannon had not been spotted as something unusual by those at Zhenhai City for so long was due to its significant internal rune damage, bringing its power down to a level quite similar to the God Slaying Cannons made in later generations.
However, its material remained robust, and Ming, as the Artifact Spirit of the Earth Emperor’s Tome, could patch up this God Slaying Cannon a bit, even if not restoring its full power at once!
At least it might recover its power by twenty to thirty percent!
Then, using this God Slaying Cannon against Chrono Light Realm experts would be an easy task.
And against the Divine Race experts, this cannon’s specific targeting features towards them would pose an even greater threat!
This is why, upon learning the true status of the God Slaying Cannon from Ming, Mu Jinyu decided to acquire it.
Of course, after taking the God Slaying Cannon from the Zhenhai City Lord, and especially knowing he got the true God Slaying Cannon, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty toward the Zhenhai City Lord.
Thus, after storing the God Slaying Cannon inside his Qiankun Ring, Mu Jinyu pondered for a moment and then said to the Zhenhai City Lord, "It’s not right to just take your stuff. Typically, how many Source Stones does a God Slaying Cannon go for? Let me pay you..."
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the Zhenhai City Lord was taken aback, not expecting Mu Jinyu to actually intend to purchase the God Slaying Cannon rather than just take it?
After all, Mu Jinyu currently held the upper hand, and even if he took all the God Slaying Cannons away, the Zhenhai City Lord wouldn’t dare to protest.
Yet he intended to pay for it, which was quite surprising.
There was absolutely no need for him to do so!
Coming back to his senses, the Zhenhai City Lord shook his head and said, "No need, it’s just a God Slaying Cannon, besides..."
Saying this, the Zhenhai City Lord chose not to finish his sentence in front of his trusted aides, instead transmitting his voice to Mu Jinyu, continuing, "Besides, you already spared me and didn’t strip away all my assets, just asking for an almost scrapped God Slaying Cannon. I really don’t mind, you can just take it!"
Mu Jinyu shook his head and refused, "No, if I domineeringly take your belongings like this, wouldn’t I be just like you?"
Zhenhai City Lord: "..."
He felt like Mu Jinyu might be insulting him, but unfortunately, he had no proof.
Subsequently, under Mu Jinyu’s insistence, the Zhenhai City Lord admitted, "Actually, if you ask me for a price, I don’t know either. These God Slaying Cannons have been left in Zhenhai City for ages. And as for the external world, as you should know, such items pose a certain threat to the Divine Race, being called God Slaying Cannons. No one dares to sell them, and if they do exist, they’re exchanged privately, so I don’t know their exact market price either!"
"Well then..."
Listening to the Zhenhai City Lord, Mu Jinyu pondered for a moment and said, "How about I exchange a Creation Divine Weapon with you?"
In fact, Mu Jinyu felt that trading for this God Slaying Cannon should at least warrant a Holy Weapon!
After being hunted by the two dominant royal clans, he indeed had acquired several Holy Weapons, not just the Riot-Quelling Sword.
If he must pull one out for trade, he wouldn’t mind.
However, considering the appearance of this nearly scrapped God Slaying Cannon, using a Holy Weapon to exchange for it seemed too conspicuous, likely making the Zhenhai City Lord suspicious.
Considering this God Slaying Cannon seemed close to being scrapped in others’ eyes, if the Zhenhai City Lord actually wanted to trade it out, he might not even receive a Holy Weapon in return, so there was no need for him to do anything extra.
Just using a Creation Divine Weapon would suffice, without shortchanging him!
After all, this was also a stroke of fortune with Ming’s help.
"A Creation Divine Weapon? Alright...I suppose..."
After hearing Mu Jinyu’s proposal, the Zhenhai City Lord pondered before agreeing.
With his Cultivation in the Chrono Light Realm, he naturally didn’t value a Creation Divine Weapon, feeling there was no necessity to trade a God Slaying Cannon for one.
But since Mu Jinyu was so particular about wanting to trade or pay, he could only agree.
Otherwise, it would be pointless to drag on.
So he readily accepted.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu handed over a Superior Grade Creation Divine Weapon to him.
"It’s actually of Superior Grade!"
Seeing the quality grade of the Creation Divine Weapon Mu Jinyu provided, the Zhenhai City Lord couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.
He thought that if Mu Jinyu were to exchange a Creation Divine Weapon for the God Slaying Cannon, a low-grade one would have been good enough.
He hadn’t expected anything more advanced, yet it was a Superior Grade, which astonished him.
The price of a Superior Grade Creation Divine Weapon had already far surpassed that of a nearly scrapped God Slaying Cannon.
Even though the Zhenhai City Lord was quite surprised, he didn’t hesitate further.
In this brief interaction, he became aware of Mu Jinyu’s character, knowing that declining further was pointless, as Mu Jinyu wouldn’t heed his words.
Thus, he graciously accepted the Superior Grade Creation Divine Weapon.
Watching the Zhenhai City Lord accept it, Mu Jinyu discreetly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease now with nothing owed to the other party.
Afterward, taking one last glance at the surroundings from the city walls, seeing nothing much of interest, Mu Jinyu said to the Zhenhai City Lord, "Let’s go, prepare to set sail; I’m ready to depart!"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhenhai City Lord knew that they had no choice but to proceed, even if three guests would be absent; the fleet bound for the Central Domain had to set off.
Then, he went to find his trade employees, instructing them to notify those who had paid the boarding fees over the years to gather quickly for departure.
