Xu Renshan looked at Amon and said, "Your Excellency, I actually came specifically for you."
Amon raised an eyebrow, showing a look of interest: "We had no previous contact, how did you know about me?"
Xu Renshan said with a chuckle: "Didn't you save a Dou Spirit from a Blazing Fire Cat before? He is a member of our Xu Family. I thank you in advance for your previous help."
Saying that, he cupped his hands to Amon, then continued, "Forgive my presumption, would it be convenient to reveal your approximate strength? I have something to ask of you."
"This is not polite, but it doesn't matter if I say it, a Two-star Dou Emperor." Amon very honestly told the truth.
"Two-star Dou Emperor..." Xu Renshan frowned slightly, and the enthusiasm on his face faded a bit.
Amon smiled and said, "You can tell me what it is first, maybe I can help, my magical beast partner also has some strength."
Xu Renshan's gaze fell on the Lightning Turtle on Amon's shoulder, and after a moment of contemplation, he said,
"This is not the place to talk, please come inside for a discussion."
He made a gesture of invitation.
Amon nodded and strode forward.
After walking a long path, they arrived at a spacious central square, where a silver halo floated above the square, like a giant mirror.
In the center of the circular halo, a colorful black color appeared, with light and shadow fluctuating, and a peculiar fluctuation rippled out.
Amon slowed his pace, looked at the halo, and after pinching his monocle, said,
"This must be the entrance to the spatial wormhole... a very interesting thing."
A trace of pride appeared on Xu Renshan's face: "This was constructed by an ancestor of my Xu Family, connecting Eagle Tooth City with White Snake City on the Northern Continent."
Below the wormhole was a wide platform, the usual departure point for spatial ships, which was now cordoned off, with several 'no approaching' signs erected around it.
On the platform, a figure in green robes was waiting.
After Xu Renshan and Amon stepped onto the platform, the man in green frowned and said, "Patriarch Xu, is this the person you specially went to see? He doesn't seem to be much."
Xu Renshan smiled at the man in green: "More people mean more strength, not to mention this young brother is already a Two-star Dou Emperor at such a young age, his future is limitless."
"What?" The man in green was slightly surprised, then cupped his hands to Amon and introduced himself: "Shen Yan, a Six-star Dou Emperor, I was abrupt just now, please forgive me, little brother."
Amon smiled and replied, "My name is Huang Tao, and I'm from the Black-Corner Region."
The Black-Corner Region? As soon as this place name was uttered, Shen Yan and Xu Renshan's gazes towards Amon became a little more cautious.
The fame of the Black-Corner Region is almost universally known in the Northwest of the continent; no one who comes from there is simple.
Xu Renshan coughed lightly and whispered, "Then let's get to the point. This is my Xu Family's spatial wormhole, but as you can see, it has a small problem now and has become unstable."
Shen Yan and Amon both focused their attention on the spatial wormhole, observing it for a while, and found that every once in a while, it would tremble and then spew out a burst of gale force wind containing spatial power.
The power of the gale force wind was not strong; even a Dou Spirit could probably resist it, but this abnormality indicated that the spatial wormhole had some malfunction, and the hidden danger was something even a Dou Ancestor would not dare to ignore.
If an accident occurred within the spatial passage, unless it was a Dou Venerate expert who could skillfully master spatial power, there would be no other path but death.
Xu Renshan sighed softly: "That's the situation. You can inquire around the city to know the Xu Family's reputation has always been good. We have never made it difficult for anyone to use the wormhole. It's not that I don't allow everyone to use it, but that it really can't be used."
Shen Yan nodded: "On this point, the Xu Family has an excellent reputation, I have no objection, but Patriarch Xu, why did you invite us here?"
"As far as I know, maintaining and repairing a spatial wormhole requires at least Dou Ancestor strength, right? We two Dou Huangs cannot help with this problem."
Xu Renshan hesitated for a moment and said, "You two should have heard that my Xu Family has a Dou Ancestor ancestor, but he hasn't appeared for a long time."
"Actually, there's something wrong with the ancestor's body. Due to an accident, he was poisoned. Although we have already paid a huge price to invite a seventh-grade Alchemist to refine a detoxifying pill for him, this pill cannot be taken directly. It also needs to be combined with a natural treasure called 'fire essence paste'."
"I released news that I was willing to acquire fire essence paste at a high price, and at the same time dispatched clan members to investigate places where high-level fire-attribute magical beasts live and where fire essence paste might exist."
"After paying a heavy price, clan members finally found fire essence paste, but wherever there is a natural treasure, there must be a magical beast guarding it."
"fire essence paste has a great attraction for fire-attribute magical beasts, and there are two Crimson Serpents living there."
"I hope you two can lend me a hand and help me obtain the fire essence paste. After the ancestor recovers, repairing this spatial wormhole will not be difficult, and my Xu Family will also offer a generous reward."
Amon smiled and asked the crucial question: "What is the strength of these two Crimson Serpents? What kind of reward can you offer?"
Xu Renshan replied: "The reward is to choose any sixth-grade medicinal material or a sixth-grade magical core from my Xu Family's treasury. As for the strength of the Crimson Serpents..."
"Two days ago, I went to test them and found that one of the two Crimson Serpents is equal in strength to me, and the other is even stronger than me, probably almost reaching the seventh-grade."
"Almost reaching the seventh-grade..." Shen Yan gasped, "Such fierce beasts are probably beyond our ability to contend with."
Xu Renshan said: "At that time, I will prepare two 'Dragon Tiger Pills' and one 'Windwalk Pill'. Brother Shen and I will each take one. I will hold back the stronger one, and you will hold back the weaker one."
"As for little brother Huang, how about taking the Windwalk Pill, taking the fire essence paste, and then retreating?"
The Dragon Tiger Pill and Windwalk Pill are both fifth-grade high-grade pills. The former has the effect of temporarily increasing strength, while the latter can greatly increase speed during the duration of the medicinal effect.
It was clear that the Xu Family had gone all out to help their ancestor recover.
Amon pretended to hesitate, thought for a moment, and then asked, "There should be more than just the three of us Dou Huangs in the city, right? Why not call a few more people? With your current investment, you shouldn't mind paying two to three more Dou Huangs' rewards."
Xu Renshan showed a wry smile and shook his head:
"It's not just the three of us, but this matter cannot be known to the Dou Huangs from other local families."
"They have long coveted control of the spatial wormhole, so I can only find external Dou Emperor experts."
"In the past half month, there have only been two Dou Huangs who came to Eagle Tooth City."
Shen Yan considered it for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it, but let's agree beforehand that if I feel I'm no match and my life might be in danger, I'll retreat at any time."
"Naturally." Xu Renshan looked at Amon.
The latter also nodded slightly, showing a faint smile: "Who told me I was in a hurry to use the spatial wormhole?"
Xu Renshan laughed loudly: "Good, good! After this is done, you two will always be friends of my Xu Family! With your help, I have more than a 70% certainty that this matter can succeed."
