The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 203 - 204: Blood Covenant

"Don’t be in a hurry, this can be considered as an item for trade with your people in the future," seeing the look on Zhang Nianxin’s face, Lin Qian waved his hand and said.

Hearing Lin Qian’s willingness to trade, Zhang Nianxin also breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party was unwilling to trade, that would have been problematic; since they were willing, things would actually be easier.

Seeing Zhang Nianxin’s relieved expression, Lin Qian also smiled and nodded.

Having Zhang Qi quickly enhance his strength would yield better results for the clan, and it would help with their future expeditions to the ancient human ruins.

And just as he said, it would allow the Eastern Division of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan to see the effects, which would make selling the cultivation techniques and potions more convenient in the future.

Lin Qian wasn’t one to give things away for nothing, was he?

"However, Your Majesty Lin, such tailor-made cultivation techniques must be very labor-intensive," Zhang Nianxin inquired curiously right after.

Labor-intensive?

The amount of work the Heavenly Art Department put into these tailor-made cultivation techniques was less than one ten-thousandth of the effort spent on Lin Qian’s Emperor’s Decision; it was hardly worth mentioning.

Of course, Lin Qian would not disclose that; instead, he showed a momentary look of difficulty: "Indeed, it did take a lot of effort on the part of my subordinates."

"However, Clan Leader Zhang, making a few tailored cultivation techniques for you or the Third Elder is still achievable. As for the other members of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, there’s no need to worry; we can improve your cultivation techniques and enhance the overall strength of your Eastern Division Clan," Lin Qian said, taking out a tome and handing it to Zhang Nianxin.

This tome contained the basics of the improved cultivation techniques for the Basic Three Realms.

Zhang Nianxin accepted it curiously and, after carefully perusing it, was immediately astounded.

Because the profundity of this cultivation technique was far superior to the one he, the Clan Leader of the Eastern Division, was currently practicing. Although it was only the Basic Three Realms, one could infer from this the strength of the higher realm techniques.

If they could buy such cultivation techniques from Lin Qian for their Eastern Division Clan members to use, their overall strength might increase rapidly.

At this point, the way Zhang Nianxin looked at Lin Qian had changed; now he understood why the other party was so confident when mentioning making their Eastern Division Clan the ruling clan in the future.

"As for this potion, it is divided into external and internal types in our Huaxia Empire; this here is for external use. Pour it into a barrel of clear water and soak during cultivation; it can temper your Eight-Armed Sea Clan’s innate talent: the eight arms!"

"The strength of your Eight-Armed Sea Clan lies in having eight arms that can cooperate flexibly. The effect of this potion is simple; it is to individually enhance the strength of each arm."

As Lin Qian spoke, Zhang Nianxin and Zhang Qi both looked at him curiously, clearly wanting to know what he meant by individually enhancing strength.

Seeing the curiosity of Zhang Nianxin and Zhang Qi, Lin Qian slowly explained.

When Zhuge Ming first saw the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, he had been thrilled for a long time, always exclaiming that in the world where His Majesty Lin Qian reigned, there was such a miraculous race.

After securing all the copied texts of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan Eastern Division, Zhuge Ming even devoted several days to studying this race.

The blue potion for the eight arms was formulated by Zhuge Ming.

Once soaked in, the potion would strengthen the eight arms from different directions.

One pair of arms would be enhanced for strength, thus, during combat, this pair would cause significant damage.

One pair of arms would be enhanced for toughness, responsible for defense during fights.

One pair of arms would be improved for speed, creating dazzling movements, bewilderment, and assisting the strength arms in killing enemies.

One pair of arms would be fortified for flexibility, soft and boneless, a characteristic of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan; by developing this to the extreme, they could entangle opponents, allowing the arms to twist and strike or defend in any direction.

Moreover, both the tailor-made cultivation techniques for Zhang Qi and the improved general cultivation techniques included descriptions about this aspect.

And even without the potion, there were parts of the training that focused on this aspect for the Eight-Armed Sea Clan.

In this way, the Eight-Armed Sea Clan could fully utilize their advantage of having eight arms, prepared for both offense and defense; in a way, they were invincible.

After listening to this, Zhang Qi took a deep breath; with his talent, he of course understood what this meant for the Eight-Armed Sea Clan.

Beside him, Zhang Nianxin had bubbles continuously rising to the surface from his mouth, even oozing ink, staring wide-eyed at Lin Qian in front of him.

What Lin Qian was doing was essentially changing their Eight-Armed Sea Clan, making their entire race stronger.

"Actually, this is not just the final result; in the future, we may develop even better cultivation techniques and potions to increase the strength of your Eight-Armed Sea Clan," Lin Qian spoke again at last.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Nianxin and Zhang Qi in front of him were at a loss for words, just blankly staring at Lin Qian, not knowing what was going through their minds.

To this, Lin Qian simply smiled without saying a word.

Enhancing the potential of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan and making the Eastern Division Clan the ruling clan of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan was a result of discussions with Zhuge Ming.

The conquest of the Huaxia Empire wasn’t about bloody slaughter. If they were to attack such a race as the Eight-Armed Sea Clan with swords, Lin Qian’s conscience wouldn’t allow it.

Therefore, establishing a solid friendship with them and becoming a robust ally was the best outcome.

Aside from the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, the Huaxia Empire would certainly seek to form alliances with other Sea Clans in the future.

Gaining their trust would undoubtedly take time; thus, the best way to save time was to have an example.

The Eight-Armed Sea Clan would be the best choice.

By nurturing the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, making their entire race powerful, the other Sea Clans would naturally come seeking cooperation.

It would also draw the attention of Sea Clans with ulterior motives, looking to take advantage of the Huaxia Empire’s wealth through force.

But by that time, the Huaxia Empire would have enough justification to strike down those who dared to cross them, provided they had sufficient strength and the backing of a more formidable national power to ensure they wouldn’t be the ones being preyed upon.

After the shock, Zhang Nianxin seemed to have made some significant decision, looking seriously at Lin Qian: "Your Majesty Lin, after lengthy consideration, I, Zhang Nianxin, on behalf of the Eastern Division of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, request a Blood Covenant with the Huaxia Empire."

"Blood Covenant!" Lin Qian’s pupils contracted, and the Soul Device on his face expelled a series of bubbles, revealing his stunned emotions.

Because he hadn’t anticipated Zhang Nianxin would actually propose a Blood Covenant.
