Ashbur was really going to set out as soon as he woke up. Master Joseph pulled him and had a "heart-to-heart" conversation with him. He had no other requests but one: please show me what trump card you have to save your life. This way, when we enter the Demon Cloud Abyss and encounter danger, I can help you make a plan.
Ashbur took out a bunch of Immortal Artifacts.
These were not the inferior Reward Version artifacts; they were all genuine and valuable items. Among them, Master Joseph speculated that even someone at the level of Immortal King Joseph would not be able to easily produce two of them.
They were treasures that could be regarded as life-saving artifacts even for Immortal King Level individuals.
Master Joseph finally realized how much Ashbur was favored in front of Immortal King Joseph: "No wonder Immortal King Joseph would sacrifice General Barlow to save this son."
