Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1483 - 13: Mechanical Warrior Tian Qing, East Extending Ancient Clan_4

Le Yao said, "I like reading biographies, and the strong characters described in these biographies often have something in common, which is that they have suffered prison disasters."

"..."

Zhao Xing and Hua Zi chuckled softly.

Le Yao's insight from reading is truly unique, the angle is peculiar.

Other immortals go shopping at guilds, but Le Yao actually enjoys visiting prison. As expected, living for a long time brings about peculiar hobbies.

"What you said seems to have some truth." Zhao Xing nodded.

The founder of "Treasure Mountain Skill" is also in prison now, so calling the prison a talent market isn't an exaggeration.

Hua Zi became interested: "So you found a promising Mechanical Warrior? Tell us about it."

Le Yao said, "This person is a lone ranger from a great dynasty."

"I looked into it, and he used to be at the second realm. But after an adventure, thirteen Mechanical Taoist Soldiers within his body were dismantled to just two, and even the Origin Power contained in the mechanical bones were mostly extracted."

He fell from the Void Realm to the Birth Realm after being severely injured, and due to debt incurred for treatment, he couldn't repay it and was imprisoned."

"He has been in jail for 158 years, and since no one cares, he doesn't even have Spiritual Energy supplied to his cell."

"I almost thought he was dead until he suddenly sat up, which startled me!"

Zhao Xing silently mocked, thinking, Le Yao's excited expression doesn't look scared at all.

He understood why Le Yao went there; she treated the prison visit as if it were a haunted house adventure.

Or do musicians enjoy visiting unusual places to find inspiration?

"How much does he owe?" Hua Zi asked the crucial question, "It must be difficult to redeem him, right?"

"Void Realm treatment costs are expensive. When he was injured, it was the Heavenly Gate Army's medical station that saved him, costing about three billion Sea Coins at the time."

"But later, it was found that he had no ties, no one claimed him, and he wasn't a citizen of the Yuanhai Ancient Country, so his mechanical bones were partially taken to offset the debt."

"Even though it wasn't enough to repay the debt, the Heavenly Gate Military Guard Station had no choice but to consider it unlucky for saving a pauper."

"Since it's a public account, he's waiting for judgment and can only be detained in prison for now."

"How much debt remains?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Around five hundred million." Le Yao said, "It's actually not much now. But if we want this person, it wouldn't cost five hundred million in reality."

She gently waved her fingers, and a large array of numerical formulas appeared in the air: "I've calculated that redeeming him would minimally cost fifty million."

"It's just so troublesome without a guarantor, but as members of the Purple God Mansion, it's manageable."

"I think the people at the Heavenly Gate Station would be very happy, because we help them settle a financial burden, providing an account for this public debt."

Zhao Xing nodded. That Mechanical Warrior at the Heavenly Gate Station is essentially a 'bad debt,' with no chance of repayment.

It wasn't individuals who saved him, but the army, and the Heavenly Gate Military Guard Station couldn't completely save him and enslave him for labor — the military doesn't run such business.

So, the ultimate solution for the Heavenly Gate Military Guard Station is to find someone to take over the debt of that Mechanical Warrior and treat him as a commodity sold to creditors.

A one-tenth settlement for bad debt is likely agreeable for the Heavenly Gate Military Guard Station.

Although fifty million isn't a small number, restoring this person's fighting capacity would require more funds.

As Zhao Xing pondered, Hua Zi asked, "What is this person's name, and has he mentioned which great dynasty he comes from?"

"He claimed to be 'Tian Qingzi' from 'Pang Ze Dynasty.' I've never heard this name; have you?" Le Yao asked.

"What's the name again?" Zhao Xing was suddenly bewildered.

"Tian Qingzi from Pang Ze Dynasty. Have you heard of it, Mr. Zhao?" Le Yao asked.

Zhao Xing was a bit dazed.

It was unbelievable; he unexpectedly heard the name of the leader of the Pang Ze Ancient Country's revival here!

"If I remember correctly, this Tian Qingzi later reached the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm!"

"As a Mechanical Master, Tian Qingzi researched numerous potent Mechanical Arrays and war puppets. Even though he was in the Tao Domain Realm, his combat power was recognized to rival the Reincarnation Realm, lacking only the ability to revive."

"The Pang Ze Dynasty, though initially nameless, later became an Ancient Country under Tian Qingzi's leadership."

"Did he mix in the Yuanhai Ancient Country as well? And in such distress? Imprisoned over a mere five hundred million?"

Zhao Xing found it somewhat incredible.

Could it be true as Le Yao said, that great strongholds have all been imprisoned?

"Finding a powerful figure at the Tao Domain Realm who is the future ancient country's lord is truly lucky for Le Yao." Zhao Xing mused.

But he couldn't be sure just yet, as merely two names wouldn't confirm it was the person he recognized. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Never heard of it, but if Le Yao thinks it's feasible, then let's take a look." Zhao Xing said.

"Okay." The three immediately set off to the Heavenly Gate Military Guard Station on the other end of Star Land, where they met the half-dead Tian Qingzi in a prison.

When Zhao Xing saw Tian Qingzi lying in the cold cell, seemingly on the brink of decay, he found it hard to associate him with the future Lord of Pang Ze Country.

Maintaining only minimal life traits, Tian Qingzi seemed like scrap metal, with even his life fluctuations low.
