It was a trick that Guhan had used to lure his enemies into his trap.
In the future 1,000 years from now, humans would be able to use quantum technology to create many unimaginable black technologies, such as quantum copying.
Quantum copying was basically the process of making a complete copy of an item through quantum mimicry. Not only would the copied item be identical in every detail, it would even be able to replicate the age of the paper.
If one were to take a piece of paper from 1,000 years ago and make a quantum copy of the paper, they would discover that the paper was also from 1,000 years ago.
That was why Fleeting Time knew that it was Guhan's fault when he saw the paper.
He took a quick look at the age of the paper, and after confirming that it was indeed from 700 years ago, he no longer doubted the authenticity of the IOU.
Fleeting Time knew that his ancestor had left such a IOU for him, and it was clearly recorded in the family history of Fleeting Time's family.
However, Fleeting Time's Blood Moon was careless when he wrote the family history, and did not complete the contents of the IOU.
The IOU only stated that Fleeting Time had borrowed three Six Revolutions Elixirs from the WuTang Clan, and that if anyone were to approach Fleeting Time's family with this IOU, they would have to repay the IOU according to its contents without delay.
The matter was kept a secret, and Fleeting Time believed that no one other than the WuTang Clan would know about it. Naturally, it was impossible for the WuTang Clan to forge the IOU.
Besides, Fleeting Time's handwriting was extremely rare, and not something that could be easily replicated.
Most importantly, Fleeting Time did not expect Guhan to deceive the Fleeting Time's family with a fake IOU!
It had been centuries since anyone dared to deceive the Fleeting Time's family with a fake IOU, unless that person was tired of living.
In fact, it was also very easy to distinguish the authenticity of things that were quantum copied. This was because there was a fatal flaw in the vicinity of quantum. That was, the copied thing only needed to be scanned by an electronic scanner to discover the quantum residue on the surface. How could one determine that it was a quantum copy?
Once bitten, twice shy, Fleeting Time immediately brought Gu Han to the appraisal room of the Fleeting Time Family Residence when Gu Han took out the real IOU. He scanned the IOU with a quantum scanner a dozen times, and only after confirming that there was not a single quantum on the IOU was he able to verify the authenticity of the IOU. There was no doubt that the IOU was the real deal.
It was also at this moment that Fleeting Time finally understood Guhan's scheme.
The treacherous Guhan had first presented a fake IOU to Fleeting Time. Fleeting Time had repeatedly confirmed the price of the Six Revolutions Pill with Guhan, leading Fleeting Time to believe that Fleeting Time would only need to pay 1,200cc of Sovereign's Blood … If Fleeting Time had known that the IOU would have to pay ten times the price, he would never have agreed to the price of a Six Revolutions Pill that was equivalent to 400cc of Sovereign's Blood.
Now that the price had been confirmed, the Fleeting Time Clan had to repay Guhan 12000 cc of Sovereign's Blood to Fleeting Time.
Fleeting Time was in so much pain that he wanted to knock himself out so that he could extricate himself from the awkward situation.
That was 12000 cc of Sovereign's Blood! Even Fleeting Time himself was not sure if the Fleeting Time Clan had that much Sovereign's Blood in their vault.
"No!
You've lied to me about the price. I refuse to accept it. We must discuss the price again! "Fleeting Time immediately changed his stance.
"Master Fleeting Time, I admit that I was wrong to lie to you with a fake IOU.
However, I did not lie to you about the price!
You were the one who calculated the price from the beginning. You compared the price of the Soaring Dragon Auction, the Dungeon King's Blood, and the Hero's Coins of the Sword Committee. I did not say a single word. How can you say that I lied to you about the price? "Guhan retorted.
Fleeting Time wanted to slap himself when he heard Guhan's words. Why did I lie to you about the price of the Six Revolutions Pill?
Now that I'm the one who set the price, there's nothing I can say to refute it.
However, is he really going to pay Guhan 12000 cc of Sovereign's Blood just like that?
There was no way Fleeting Time Clan would agree to that. He was even more unwilling to be a fool after he was deceived by the fake IOU.
Fleeting Time Clan and Guhan were in a stalemate.
One side insisted that the price was not valid and demanded a recalculation.
The other side repeated that the price was set by Fleeting Time Clan himself. It was the most reasonable price, and there was no room for recalculation.
The two of them quarreled for almost an hour. In order not to waste everyone's time, the dialogue of the quarrel was not written. Anyway, until the two of them were exhausted, the two sides still did not reach a compromise.
"What are you arguing about?
What a scandal! "Fleeting Wooden Fish, who had not been seen for a long time, walked into the room.
Fleeting Time immediately stood up from his seat and gave way to Fleeting Time Wooden Fish to take his seat.
Fleeting Time Clan then whispered into Fleeting Time Wooden Fish's ear and recounted the entire process.
"What?!
12000cc！”
Even a sly old fox like Fleeting Time Wooden Fish was shocked when he heard that there was 12000 cc of Sovereign's Blood.
"Kid!
Where did you get the courage to ask for so much Sovereign's Blood from the Fleeting Time Clan?! "Fleeting Time Wooden Fish asked in an unfriendly tone.
"I don't need any courage. I only believe in one thing!" Guhan replied calmly.
"Oh!
What do you believe in? "Fleeting Time Wooden Fish retorted.
"If you return what you borrowed, it won't be difficult to borrow again!" Gu Han enunciated each and every word clearly.
"It's not difficult to borrow again if you return what you borrowed …" Fleeting Time Wooden Fish repeated the words three times. The dissatisfaction on his face gradually disappeared, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Good!
Well said, that was indeed the case!
It's not difficult to borrow again if you return what you borrowed!
Little Zheng, go to the treasury and retrieve 12000 cc of Sovereign's Blood and hand it over to Brother Guhan! "
Unexpectedly, the arrival of Fleeting Time Wooden Fish had brought about a breakthrough. Once this old man opened his mouth, he would just go straight to the point!
The 12000 cc of Sovereign's Blood was given to Fleeting Time Wooden Fish.
"Yes, father!"
It was obvious that Fleeting Time was very obedient to his father. He immediately went to the family's treasury, and returned with a briefcase in hand to Gu Han.
Guhan opened the suitcase, and found that it was filled with liquid nitrogen. There were transparent test tubes in the liquid nitrogen, and every single one of them contained golden blood.
Guhan took out one of the test tubes and took a sniff to confirm that it was indeed Sovereign's Blood.
"Thank you, Fleeting Time Clan, for your generosity!"
Guhan placed the suitcase to the side, and bowed deeply to the displeased Fleeting Time Wooden Fish and Fleeting Time Wooden Fish. "I know that I've been too rash this time. It's a little too much to ask for 12000 cc of Sovereign's Blood with a loan slip.
However, I can't do anything about it. I have things that I must do.
This lowly one will never forget the Fleeting Time Clan's great kindness. If the Fleeting Time Clan has any requests in the future, this lowly one will do his best to repay the favor. "
This time, Guhan was speaking the truth. He had indeed taken advantage of the Fleeting Time Clan.
Aside from the Fleeting Time Clan, there was probably no other clan in the world that would be willing to be taken advantage of by Guhan.
Take the Emperor Sword Families in Yuzhang City for example. Not to mention 1200cc, they would probably think of a way to make Gu Han disappear from this world without anyone knowing the moment Gu Han took out the loan receipt.
"There's no need to be so polite. Feel free to look for us if you have any difficulties in the future. The Fleeting Time Clan will be more than happy to help!"
Fleeting Time Wooden Fish laughed, and asked, "When do you plan to activate the Furnace of Heaven and Earth?"
"......" Guhan was stunned, "Senior Fleeting Time, how did you know that I'm going to activate the Furnace of Heaven and Earth?"
"Is it that hard to guess?
For you to take away so much Sovereign Bloodline at once without caring about your face, you must be planning something big.
In this world, the only thing that you can do that requires so much Sovereign blood is probably the Worldly Furnace. "
"I can even guess why you're activating the Furnace of Heaven and Earth!
Since you don't care about Sever Green Hair anymore, it means that you don't want to cut off your sword mark anymore. Could it be that you want to forge a new Sword Maiden? "Fleeting Time Wooden Fish suddenly asked.
"Forge a new Sword Maiden?"
A huge question mark flashed across Guhan's mind. From Fleeting Time Wooden Fish's words, could this Furnace of Heaven and Earth have the ability to forge a new Sword Maiden?
This was something that Guhan had never heard of before. Guhan had to get to the bottom of this.
"Senior Fleeting Time, what do you mean by forging a new Sword Maiden?" Guhan asked urgently.
"You don't know?"
Fleeting Time Wooden Fish looked very surprised, "Didn't you want my 12000cc Sovereign Blood to forge a new Sword Maiden?
Only a new Sword Maiden requires more than 10000cc of Sovereign Blood to activate the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.
If it's just a simple repair, a 4000cc Sovereign Blood is enough! "
"......" Guhan fell silent. He was afraid that Fleeting Time Wooden Fish would ask for the extra 8000cc if he told him that it was for repair.
Fortunately, Fleeting Time Wooden Fish did not bring up the topic again. Instead, he changed the topic to something else.
"Gu Han, do you know the other important reason why this old man agreed to your request so readily?"
"This lowly one does not know!" Gu Han replied honestly.
"Because even if you didn't activate the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, I would have done so sooner or later!"
Fleeting Time Wooden Fish let out a long sigh, "If I don't activate the Furnace of Heaven and Earth soon, I'm afraid that Lena will not be able to live."
