Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System-Novel

The royal palace of the Frost Dragon Dynasty, located in the grand city of Frosthold, was a majestic and grandiose structure that exuded opulence and wealth. The palace was made of white marble and was adorned with intricate carvings and gold leaf embellishments. The palace was surrounded by a large moat filled with shimmering blue water, and it was guarded by a formidable army of soldiers dressed in white and blue armor.

As one enters the palace, they are greeted by a grand entrance hall adorned with crystal chandeliers and lined with marble columns. The floors are made of polished white marble, and the walls are adorned with intricate frescoes depicting scenes from the history of the Frost Dragon Dynasty.

Beyond the entrance hall lies the throne room, a grand chamber where the king and queen hold court and hold meetings with their advisors. The throne room was lined with tall marble columns, and the floors were made of gleaming white marble. The throne itself was a magnificent golden seat adorned with precious gems and surrounded by a group of ornately dressed guards.

The palace also housed a variety of other luxurious amenities, such as a grand ballroom, a library filled with ancient texts and scrolls, a beautiful garden filled with exotic flowers and plants, and a variety of luxurious guest rooms for visiting dignitaries.

The palace was also home to a variety of powerful defensive measures such as traps, secret passages, and a network of underground tunnels. These defenses are meant to protect the royal family and the palace from any potential invaders or assassins.

The royal palace of the Frost Dragon Dynasty was a stunning and impressive structure that showcased the wealth and power of the ruling dynasty of the Yin country.

Emperor Yao of the Frost Dragon Dynasty sat on his throne in the throne room of the grand palace of Frosthold. He was a tall man, standing at 6'2" with a broad chest and strong arms. He had a regal bearing, with a straight back and held head, exuding an air of authority.

His face was chiseled and handsome, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that seemed to see through everything. His hair was a dark brown, neatly styled, and kept in place with a golden crown. He wore a lavish golden robe adorned with intricate patterns and precious gems, completing the look of a powerful and wealthy ruler.

According to his courtiers, Emperor Yao was known to be a wise and just ruler but also a ruthless one when it came to protecting his kingdom and dynasty. He was feared by many but also respected for his ability to lead his people to prosperity and strength.

Some of the courtiers could be seen sitting below the throne platform and discussing.

The Emperor suddenly asked, "So what's the news about the Sky Soaring Sect having a lot of wealth?"

The prime minister of Yin Kingdom spoke, saying, "We sent many people, but no one was able to find more details after Liu Jie's death. It seems that the Sky Soaring Sect has become more careful; they might be using their hidden hall for activities related to the mines. But it is confirmed that they have found more than just one medium-sized mine. Which is the cause of their growing strength and newfound wealth".

The Emperor asked, "Is there any report on who the hidden family they partnered with is?".

The prime minister shook his head and said, "We don't know, but we are guessing that some young master of a hidden strong family from another country was visiting our grand nation to try his luck ever since rumors have spread and many outsiders and strong cultivators are visiting north Yin. Our spies could not recognize those cultivators who attacked the Yang stronghold."

The Emperor had a disapproving look in his eyes. "Are they trying to get a foothold in my Yin kingdom? Are old coots of the Sky Soaring Sect gone crazy? Partnering with other countries' cultivation families."

The prime minister spoke: "Your Majesty, we don't know if there is really some power from another country or if they are hidden elders of the Sky Soaring Sect, but the general opinion is that the Yang family has offended that young master. The Sky Soaring Sect took advantage of an opportunity. Both do not seem to have any partnership; This is what our spies in the Sky Soaring Sect told us. But I think there is more to the story than this."

Hearing Sky Soaring Sect found many medium-sized mines minister of war decided to participate in the conversation.

The minister of war spoke up," Your highness is the ruler of Yin country. How dare they hide the spirit stone mines? Your Highness: We should destroy the Sky Soaring Gate Sect to remind everyone about the power of the royal family."

The prime minister shook his head. "Minister of War, you want to attack the sky-soaring sect. Will you personally take the army and face them alone? That sect was founded by immortals, and with their recent wealth, they have upgraded their sect array to the point that even earth immortals will have difficulty breaking through. Let's not forget that they have many beast protectors, some of whom have the strength of soul formation. It would be easier for us to attack and capture another nation than try to destroy the sky-soaring sect. Even if they partnered with that family, we could not attack them. Do you remember our recent guest,"

Emperor spoke, "Is there any update on our guest's whereabouts?"

The prime minister answered, "I was planning to report to your majesty once I had clear information, but from servants, we found out that he went to chase after the killer of Liu Jie. But it has been a month already, and there is no news of him. Since he was an elder of concubine Lan's family, Her family sent an inquiry just yesterday asking about why his soul flame disappeared from the ancestor halls. Since the concubine was unsure what was going on, she sent me a messenger to ask about what was going on. I immediately sent some cultivators to find out more, but from the looks of it, the elder got into a battle with someone stronger than him and died in battle."

The Emperor spoke: "Batte at Spirit Embryo Realm would alert everyone in the vicinity that there should have been some news."

The prime minister answered, "Which is why I have reason to believe that the Jedi family that was mentioned must have an earth immortal in their family. The elder was chasing those members of the Jedi family. He was caught and killed by the Earth Immortal. Which makes sense, that family must have more than one earth immortal, or how could a young master of a family be able to order around a soul formation level cultivator to attack the Yang Family? So even if Sky Soaring Sect has partnered with that family, we can not attack them as they will have the protection of that Earth Immortal family."

The prime minister looked at the minister of war and spoke, "If you decide to go to war with the Sky Soaring Sect by yourself, I hope you are prepared to face the Earth Immortal."

The minister of war felt sweat on his back. Go on war himself and face an Earth Immortal? Did this prime minister want him dead? He felt this prime minister certainly wanted to get rid of him.

But he calmed himself down and said, "So what, they have earth immortals protecting them. Our royal family has earth immortal, too; I don't think we have any reason to worry."

The prime minister almost facepalmed, "So you want to send our royal family's patriarch to fight a sect in Yin Country just based on your suspicion about a few medium-sized mines? Do you know the consequence of the battle for that level? What if the immortals of enemy countries used the opportunity to attack the royal patriarch at that time? Will you protect our country later?"

Cultivation at the level of Earth Immortal was to deter other countries, and the prime minister was sure the patriarch of the royal family wouldn't make a move unless the kingdom was attacked by another earth immortal level power.

The Minister of War sweated. He finally shut up and did not try to argue.

The Emperor looked at his minister and said, "So what do you suggest? What should we do?"

The prime minister said, " Your majesty, we have had good relations with the Sky Soaring Sect for thousands of years. It is not a good idea to sour that relationship over a few medium-sized spirit stone mines. If they indeed have hidden elders or if they have partnered with hidden families, then it is not bad news for us. This means if another country attacks tomorrow, the Sky Soaring Society would be able to provide us with better support.'

The Emperor showed concern, "What if they try to take over the kingdom tomorrow?"

The prime minister spoke. "Your majesty, Sky Soaring Sect had immortals in the past too; some moved on, and some left for journeys; just like our patriarch, they do not care much about kingdoms or the mortal world. If it is a coup that Sky Soaring Sect wanted, they had many opportunities in the past. From their history, I am sure that all they want to do is coexist peacefully."

The prime minister thought for a while, " Even if they partnered with that family which is not from our Yin country, I don't think they plan anything other than trade relations. Our spies have noticed many traders connected to Sky Soaring Sect. Setting up businesses.  The sect is trying to make the most of its newfound wealth. Now that they are wealthy and can afford powerful protectors, we should give the Sky Soaring Sect better lucrative trading offers and strengthen our relationship with them."
