Free Web NovelChapter 1626: Chapter 1252: The Four Treasures of the He Family! Emperor’s Secret Key!
Even Jiang Dali didn’t expect that, after Yuanting Pavilion, the second force from the Holy Dynasty to contact him was neither Lingyun Pavilion nor the hostile Wan Family, but another of the Six Great Families of the Holy Dynasty, the He Family, known for its wealth rivaling nations.
The He Family is not only one of the Six Great Families, but its power has been consistently at the forefront of the Six Great Families for many years.
The reason is simple—money talks. There’s nothing in this world louder than the voice of one gold ingot, except for two gold ingots. And everyone knows that no matter how much gold you offer, the He Family will undoubtedly offer more, speaking with a louder voice than you.
All this is because the He Family won the world’s biggest gamble.
Back when the Holy Dynasty Emperor was conquering the world, the He Family was already a famous rich merchant, but they spared no expense supporting the Holy Dynasty Emperor in his conquest. After betting successfully on the Holy Dynasty Emperor, it was truly a gamble well played, their wealth multiplied beyond what it was, deserving the title of the world’s top family.
After four generations of family leadership with diligent management, the He Family grew increasingly prosperous. The wealth and treasures accumulated over the years are countless, attracting numerous experts to join them, ensuring their enduring popularity within the Holy Dynasty, filled with experts, and each of the four generations of He Family Masters has been deeply mysterious.
Although each generation of He Family Masters considers themselves businessmen, none have ever been seen taking action, nor has anyone been able to force them into action. Anyone who tried to confront the He Family Masters found themselves stopped by the two Shadow Guardians protecting them. Even the Holy Dynasty’s Four Great Pillars dare not underestimate any He Family Master, believing each one to have at least reached the level of Returning to Truth Realm 5, otherwise they couldn’t possibly live past three hundred years.
Due to this situation, the strength of the He Family has always ranked at the top of the Six Top Families. Mr. He, the He Family Master, is known as "Jin Wudi" in the Martial World.
Jiang Dali had just obtained information about Holy Dynasty forces from Heartbroken Little Knife and other family disciples, including some information about the He Family, of course, he’s aware of the He Family’s prowess.
And now, the He Family Master, Mr. He, has sent his eldest and third daughters with substantial gifts to this remote place to visit him, and their purpose left him quite surprised.
"Never did I expect the He Family Master to value someone like me so much, going as far as to trouble two ladies to invite me, yet I’m somewhat puzzled."
Jiang Dali sat elegantly, smiling while gazing at the two women dressed in blue and purple, faintly smiling, "With your He Family’s top-tier power among the Six Great Families, there may not be many like me, but there are definitely more than a handful. Why does Mr. He need to make such a fuss?"
"Master Jiang, you are too modest."
Purple-clothed woman He Lingxu shook her head, slightly laughing, "Nowadays, within the vassal state, who does not know of your illustrious reputation? Even though your current strength has not yet reached the top tier of the Holy Dynasty, it’s already among the top below that level. Going to the Holy Dynasty, you would still be a big shot. My father enjoys making friends and certainly wouldn’t neglect you.
Moreover, you are still so young now, and speaking of potential, you outshine those so-called young talents of the Holy Dynasty multiple times over..."
At this point, the purple-clothed woman’s words carried a hint of mockery, turning to gaze at Jiang Dali, her delicate face flushed red as if uncontrollably, almost like a pink hue seeping through the veil, causing even her ears to turn red, softly speaking.
"Therefore, your potential is something my father greatly values. Furthermore, your ability to build from scratch, evolving the once small Black Wind Village into today’s large force, further proves your exemplary management and leadership skills, which my father values the most. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
My father has said that a person’s greatest power lies not in becoming strong alone, but in enabling those around him to become strong too. This is akin to a single achievement uplifting everyone around you. You undoubtedly fit this description."
As she spoke, the blue-clothed woman He Lingyue aside unintentionally pursed her lips, though concealed by a veil, she was still perceived by He Lingxu, who frowned slightly, saying, "Third Sister, now that you have met Master Jiang, such an outstanding figure, shouldn’t you immediately serve tea to him as a sign of respect?"
"Ah!?"
The blue-clothed woman He Lingyue was startled, exclaiming, "I...should serve tea?"
Born with a golden spoon, pampered from birth, except for her father, she had never served tea to anyone. Such an action was simply not her responsibility.
Jiang Dali was about to raise his hand to interrupt, as he too did not wish to quarrel over this trivial matter, but He Lingxu’s tone grew stern, "Do I need to repeat myself?"
He Lingyue’s expression froze, seldom being spoken to with such severity by her elder sister. Recalling her father’s instructions, she immediately rose, picking up a small tea tray handed by a servant, carrying a small cup of tea gracefully to Jiang Dali, modestly bowing, offering a fragrant tea with soft voice.
"Lingyue respectfully offers this tea to the village chief, please taste it."
"Good!"
Without thanking, Jiang Dali reached out to accept, bringing the tea to his nose for a sniff before downing it, acknowledging the gesture and good intention.
He Lingxu stood up with a smile, clapping her hands, the four robust male attendants stepping out in unison, unveiling the bulging packages they bore, revealing four gleaming wooden boxes.
"Master Jiang, this is just a token from my father, please accept it with a smile."
Jiang Dali stood tall, contemplating whether to accept the He Family’s invitation, when He Lingxu immediately smiled and added, "Actually, there’s no need for misunderstanding, my father’s intention is to form an alliance with you as an important partner rather than establishing a subordinate relationship. This is my father’s greatest sincerity, so I hope you consider it carefully. Please inspect these four gifts."
As her words ended, the four men opened the wooden boxes one by one, revealing four items that astonished Jiang Dali.
Within the first box on the right lay a "golden token";
The items inside the second box are three elixirs set into the wooden box, wrapped in a specially made wax cloth, resembling longan fruits;
The item inside the third box is a secretive letter sealed with gold lacquer and red clay;
The item inside the fourth box is a "golden key."
He Lingxu gracefully stepped out at this moment and introduced with a gentle smile, "Master Jiang, among the items in these four wooden boxes, aside from the secretive letter which requires you to open personally to know its contents, I can introduce the other three items to you.
This token is our He family’s ’Ten Thousand Gold Token.’ With this token, you can request our He family to utilize our family resources to accomplish one feasible task for you, without violating the Holy Dynasty’s laws."
"Ten Thousand Gold Token!?"
Jiang Dali was shocked, realizing the value of a token that could command the He family to accomplish a task. As for the feasibility, if there’s anything in this world that even the He family can’t do, it would likely be difficult for any other force or any expert in the Returning to Truth Realm to achieve.
However, currently, this Ten Thousand Gold Token doesn’t seem very useful to him.
Because he is still within a vassal state, and to deal with the great enemy Shakyamuni, even if he wanted to ask the He family to act, due to the Holy Dynasty’s laws, businessmen like the He family wouldn’t make a move.
The value of this token would be most significant when he goes to the Holy Dynasty in the future.
He Lingxu continued, "This second gift consists of three Infinite Heart Transformation Pills. These Infinite Heart Transformation Pills are secret concoctions specially made in the Holy Dynasty’s Imperial Palace, distributed only every few years to the four major sects, the vassal states, as well as the six great families and the Four Great Sects, making them extremely rare on the market and thus exceptionally precious.
With this elixir, no matter how severe one’s injuries, as long as their body and soul aren’t destroyed, they can possibly recover, making it an extremely precious lifesaving medicine."
"Infinite Heart Transformation Pill? Isn’t this the very elixir sought by the Undying Yin Zhong? I never thought I’d obtain it from the He family before getting it through Tang country’s Li Shimin..."
As Jiang Dali pondered, He Lingxu skipped the introduction of the third item, the secretive letter, and with a solemn expression, introduced the golden key.
"As for this golden key, in my view, it is the most precious of the four items. In fact, I didn’t even expect that father would be willing to give this key to you."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali was surprised and sensed the unusual value of the key from the expressions of the several attendants and He Lingyue. "Could this be more precious than your He family’s Ten Thousand Gold Token? What is it?"
He Lingxu solemnly said, "This golden key, called the Emperor’s Secret Key, is related to our Holy Dynasty Emperor. There are only fifty of them in existence. The Six Top Families and Four Great Sects each have one to two keys, but our He family has three. Yet now, father has given you one. This means he believes you have the capacity to participate in the future competition involving the Emperor’s Treasure Mountain with this key."
"Emperor’s Treasure Mountain?"
Jiang Dali frowned, realizing this was new information unknown to him.
He Lingxu proactively explained, "Within the Emperor’s Treasure Mountain, it is said that many treasures and legacies left by the Emperor are preserved, involving secrets of breaking through to the Breaking Realm and deeper secrets of this world, which is why all major forces of the Holy Dynasty place great importance on it."
In just a few words, Jiang Dali instantly understood the importance of this Emperor’s Secret Key, and it instantly filled his mind with excitement.
To him, the Emperor’s Treasure Mountain could hold the key to uncovering the origin of the entire Mixed Martial Arts World, and perhaps even uncovering the mystery of his rebirth and finding a way to leave this world.
After all, who could understand this world better than the Holy Dynasty Emperor, the first in Mixed Martial Arts?
"As for the third item, please have a look, Master Jiang, so you may decide for yourself. We can then report back accordingly."
At this moment, He Lingxu already took out the secretive letter, softly approached Jiang Dali, looking up at him directly with a brave gaze, handing over the letter with a faint smile, "Please have a look, village chief."
Jiang Dali, smelling the fragrance of the woman in front of him, laughed word by word, "It seems, Miss He already knows what’s written inside this letter?"
As He Lingxu smiled charmingly, a hint of allure flashed at the corners of her lips, her cheeks glowing red like rosy clouds, visible even behind the veil, softly murmured, "This little girl knows only a little."
