Chapter 66: Sir, Times Have Changed! (Part 1)

Kong had long been prepared for Tang San's proposal. If not, he wouldn't have been playing with those crystals for no reason.

Tang San possessed the Xuantian Gong and the Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions. The Xuantian Gong was fundamental to Tang San's standing, and he would never trade it.

Moreover, how could Kong "know" that Tang San had the Xuantian Gong?

"Yu Tiankong, I want to trade for those golden particles you have."

Tang San spoke straightforwardly. As for matters regarding his father, Tang Hao, they could wait. He had more pressing matters at hand.

"Oh? You mean these golden particles produced from the broken crystals?"

Kong responded with a face full of "confusion."

Hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Tang San's eyes. Broken crystals? These were the king of crystals, plate crystals!

It took countless years to form these hair crystals, also known as dragon whisker needles, golden particles.

How could this be broken crystals?

Tang San was filled with disdain. These natives had no discernment. Even though they knew some of the magical effects of hair crystals, they still thought this was broken crystal?

Thinking of this, Tang San suddenly frowned. He felt that things weren't that simple.

"Yes."

Tang San nodded and said directly.

At this moment, he didn't have time to think more. The expression on the other party's face, as if saying "what good things can you offer for a trade," made Tang San very unhappy!

Did this native even understand the value of what he held?

"What do you have to trade? You must know, these golden particles are very magical. I obtained them by chance, and the entire Douluo Continent might not have a second one!"

Kong said calmly, his expression unchanged.

Tang San: No need for your reminder!

The more Kong reminded Tang San, the more he felt something was off.

But the hair crystals were too precious. As Kong said, such a magical thing might not have a second one on the entire Douluo Continent.

"Golden soul coins are out of the question. Although our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is not as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, we are not lacking in golden soul coins."

After hearing this, Tang San also gave up the idea of purchasing with golden soul coins. Besides, would the amount of golden soul coins he had be enough to catch the other party's eye?

Tang San disliked Kong very much, but he couldn't deny Kong's words. This was one of the top three clans, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. How could they lack golden soul coins?

When his teacher introduced this clan, Tang San felt the teacher's emotions were a bit complicated, with pride, loss, and regret.

Of course, the Grandmaster didn't say much, and Tang San was too embarrassed to ask further.

Xiao Wu, heavily injured and lying on the ground, and Dai Mubai: Is no one going to care about us?

Suddenly, as if a thought struck him, Tang San's eyes lit up. He still had hidden weapons to trade!

Hidden weapons, especially those from the Tang Sect, were such "magical" things that how could this inexperienced young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not be tempted?

After a while.

Looking at the hundred or so hair crystals in his hand, Tang San still felt like he had been cheated, but he couldn't quite pinpoint why.

Originally, Tang San intended to trade a set of ordinary hidden weapons, excluding the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, for the hair crystals. However, Kong wanted nothing but the Zhuge Divine Crossbow!

The value of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was far beyond that of ordinary hidden weapons. After careful consideration, Tang San finally decided to trade a few Zhuge Divine Crossbows with Kong.

### Chapter 66: 066: Sir, Times Have Changed! (Part 1)

Listening to Tang San's spiel, Kong directly waved his hand and said firmly, "Impossible. I feel that this black box is quite good. Other than this black box and its manufacturing method, nothing else is within the scope of my trade considerations."

"The young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan isn't so easily fooled!" Tang San thought to himself.

The only hidden weapon that was both ordinary yet immensely powerful and capable of mass production was the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. As for other things like the Sand-Throwing Hidden Weapon or the Sleeve Dart, they were too low-end and of little value.

Kong's words instantly put Tang San in a dilemma. However, he had to obtain the dragon whisker needles. Without them, most of the top-ranked hidden weapons in the Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions couldn't be manufactured.

As for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, it didn't matter much. He had set up a self-destruct mechanism; once disassembled, its internals would be damaged. Even if he handed over a hundred of them, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The manufacturing blueprint for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was different. Once the blueprint was obtained, one could manufacture the crossbows after some study.

Tang San wasn't foolish; he knew the difference between a one-time gain and a continuous supply.

But these hair crystals were too important. They could not only create high-level hidden weapons but also break through protective energies! If he had the hair crystals before, Ye Zhiqiu wouldn't have been a match for him! Even Zhao Wuji might have been defeated by him!

Fortunately, Tang San wasn't fully aware of the true value of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow at the moment. He knew it was powerful but didn't understand its true potential.

High-level hidden weapons were indeed very powerful, even capable of killing strong opponents at the Titled Douluo level. However, they couldn't be mass-produced!

For a major power, high-level hidden weapons were more like deterrents at the Titled Douluo level, but the Zhuge Divine Crossbow could become the foundation of a major power!

Major powers had no shortage of people and numerous low-level soul masters. The Zhuge Divine Crossbow could injure, or even kill, Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings. What would happen if it was used on the battlefield?

Moreover, using the Zhuge Divine Crossbow didn't consume soul power!

Finally, Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "I can use one Zhuge Divine Crossbow and its manufacturing blueprint for the exchange!"

Originally, Tang San wanted to say something about not spreading it, but then he thought, how could the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not spread it? Would a young master personally go and forge it?

Tang San had a faint idea why Kong was only interested in the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. It was probably because Kong had seen its power during his battles against Zhao Wuji and Ye Zhiqiu.

A young master like him was probably just curious. It was impossible for him to actually go and forge it!

"Swear on your martial soul that this blueprint is not fake!"

Kong pointed at Tang San and then at the blueprint in Tang San's hand.

From what Kong knew about Tang San, it was impossible for him to hand over the Zhuge Divine Crossbow blueprint so "readily" without any tricks. Even if there were no tricks, it wouldn't be impossible for a critical part to be missing during assembly.

Tang San's mouth twitched, his eyelids fluttering. Swear on his martial soul?

His teacher had once said that one should never casually swear on their martial soul on the Douluo Continent. If one broke the oath, even if they weren't struck by divine retribution, they would be plagued by inner demons, preventing them from reaching higher levels for life.

Without changing his expression, Tang San took out another blueprint from the Moonlit Night on the Twenty-Four Bridges and said, "I, Tang San, swear on my martial soul that this blueprint contains the exact method for making the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. If I am hiding anything, I will die a horrible death!"
