The return journey was uneventful. However, Zong Shou was extremely embarrassed for several days along the way.
After being stared at by several girls with contemptuous eyes, Zong Shou followed the rules for several days in a row. Only then did his surroundings gradually return to normal.
However, a few days later, Xuanyuan Yiren walked out of the 'alchemy room'. After knowing the situation, he immediately grabbed the soft flesh of Zong Shou's waist and pulled it hard.
Finally, he said sadly: "It turns out that Xiao Shou likes younger people. No wonder when we were in Yunsheng City, even if I was in favor of others, Xiao Shou, you wouldn't want me -"
Zong Shou was speechless for a while. He couldn't clean it up even if he jumped into the Long River. The Long River is a big river on the Central Cloud Continent. It is extremely turbid and yellow all year round. People who jump in will only get dirtier and cannot be washed away.
However, all the girls loved Shi Ruolan very much. Especially Chuxue, who treated Shi Ruolan like a rag doll all day long, holding her in her arms and refusing to let go.
However, this little girl, I don't know whether it is because she is afraid of strangers or just introverted, so she seldom speaks. When she does speak occasionally, her voice quality is extremely soothing.
Among the girls, only Zhao Yanran had a very different expression. However, it was not until the fleet was about to arrive at the Yunhai Whirlpool Ladder that she couldn't help but ask: "I see that you treat this Shi Ruolan very differently. Very different.
Love, but it is different from the love between men and women, especially
Since the first meeting, when I used the Fantasy Heart Mirror, my mood swings have been the most intense. I have also seen this girl’s qualifications. In terms of spiritual arts and martial arts, she is only above the middle school. I really don’t know what this master Ruolan has.
What is so extraordinary about it that deserves your attention?"
Zong Shou smiled and did not explain. He took out a piece of animal bone from the Qiankun bag and carved it carefully.
Then a quarter of an hour later, a strange chessboard appeared in front of the two of them.
Zhao Yanran raised her eyebrows at first, and then said as if she had some realization: "This is a war chess game? I've never seen it before. Could it be that this chess set was in the illusion that day?"
"What else could it be?"
Zong Shou shook his head slightly. Then he picked up dozens of chess pieces symbolizing various types of arms and placed them on the chessboard. He said calmly: "Play a few games with me!"
The rules are simple. The chess pieces that symbolize cavalry, infantry, and archers are marked with marching speed, lethality, and even health bars. There are also a few dice between each round. But the numbers on them are not one, two, three, four, five, and six.
It's a line of text. What's the wind level, whether it's a heavy rain, etc.
It didn't take long for Zhao Yanran to learn the lesson, but she lost in several consecutive games. Finally, she said helplessly: "I can't win anymore, you are just bullying me!"
Suddenly, his heart moved slightly: "Did this teacher Ruolan defeat you in that illusion?"
"No way? Her grades are worse than yours. She's just a little girl. No matter how smart she is, how can she beat me?"
Zong Shou still shook his head, and then looked at Zhao Yanran in confusion and waved to Zong Yuan.
When Zong Yuan came closer, Zong Shou smiled and asked: "If it were you, what would you do if you failed to win several games in a row?"
Zong Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out the sword from his waist and slashed the chessboard into pieces with one strike.
Zong Shou seemed to have expected it, and asked again with a smile: "Why is this?"
"If your Majesty only wants to have fun and pass the time, Zongyuan will naturally accompany you! But if you have the intention of taking the exam——"
When he said this, a cold look flashed in Zong Yuan's eyes: "Then Zong Yuan will never abide by other people's rules, nor is he willing to be limited to the rules."
Zong Shou immediately burst into laughter, extremely satisfied, he was indeed an unparalleled general trained by him!
Over there, Zhao Yanran's eyes also changed slightly and she said, "So, this is the same situation when Master Ruolan is in the illusion?"
Zong Shou also nodded slightly and said: "The first game has not been played yet, and the defeat is still undecided. This little girl just lifted the chessboard. If this is all, it only shows that this girl is very competitive and unwilling to accept defeat. But now
After this, my
The illusion began to collapse. Therefore, we know that she was not targeting the outcome of that game of chess, but the rules of the illusion. This little guy's spiritual aptitude is probably better than mine. In the future, the way of military warfare may not be inferior.
Yu Zongyuan——"
Hearing this, Zongyuan was horrified and looked at the lion girl who was sitting quietly in Chuxue's arms.
The same thing happened to Zhao Yanran, her eyes were dull.
——His spiritual skills are better than Zong Shou's, and his military skills are not inferior to Zong Yuan's.
She did not expect that Zong Shou's evaluation of this little girl was so high. Could this be the hope that this girl would become an unparalleled general in the future?
Just as he was about to ask again, Zong Shou suddenly stood up again, looked into the distance and said, "We're here!"
Just dozens of miles away, the black mist finally disappeared without a trace. A huge vortex of clouds and mist also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
※ ※ ※ ※
Going up the whirlpool ladder of the sea of clouds was equally uneventful. This place was close to the Spirit Island, and no one dared to fight or do anything here.
And after waiting for an hour, when the entire fleet finally arrived at Lingling Island, all the cloud ships in the fleet burst into cheers, one after another, for a long time.
A thousand warships and 700,000 soldiers went out. But they returned intact and fully loaded.
There have been countless cloud hunts, but this one was the most thrilling, but also the most safe.
The person in the psychic island seemed to have received the news early. When the fleet appeared, the entire island finally began to commotion. Countless people came to the pier.
The person standing at the front of the crowd was none other than Long Ruo, but his expression was neither happy nor angry, making it difficult to tell his true intentions.
After that came the people from the various sects of the Cloud Realm who stayed on this psychic island to manage various businesses. But they all had smiles in their eyes, full of expectation.
Zong Shou's eyes wandered around, until he saw sixty or seventy broken cloud ships parked not far away, and then he looked away, feeling coldly in his heart.
It seems that the Taoyun Three Cities still suffered a lot of losses after escaping. If he rushes ahead of them and returns early, he wonders what kind of means are waiting for him?
However, when they got off the boat, Long Ruo was unexpected and did not say anything to hold him accountable. He just said a few words of congratulations and greetings, and winked at Master Jingtao. The group left alone.
On the other hand, the people from the following sects gave Zong Shou quite a headache, as they all came here to buy the beast corpse soul stone.
The amount was not small, and he couldn't offend him. With Zong Shou's laid-back temperament, he could only accompany him honestly.
It was not until that night that most of all the affairs were handled and all the people were sent away.
He knew that most of these people did not lack spirit stones and beast crystals. On the contrary, complete beast corpses unearthed from beast graves were scarce resources. Therefore, no matter what the other party said, there was never a discount, but the price was lower.
The market price increased by 50%.
To talk to you is to sell the face of the sect behind you. When this spiritual tide is about to rise, these materials that can greatly enhance the strength of the sect will only be competed for. Such a large amount will not be available in the next few years. It may not be possible to have it inside.
As for whether to buy it or not, that's your own business.
Until evening, all the beast carcasses on the 1,800 cloud ships, except for some of them that Zong Shou kept for his own use, most of the rest were sold at high prices.
The number of beast crystals obtained far exceeded everyone's expectations. Calculated based on the fourth-order beast crystals, the total number was as high as 30 million. This does not include the collections in the three Qiankun bags of Zong Shou and Xuanyuan Yiren.
The reward was given out on the spot, and the share given to the vassals was also cashed out immediately. Qiantian Mountain alone took 55%. In terms of contribution, naturally Qiantian Mountain City and Zong Shou were the most powerful. Most of the reason for repelling the beast tide was due to the eight hundred When Yuan Dynasty destroyed Nu, Xuanshan City was also divided into two and a half percent. The last two percent was divided among the cities.
However, all the vassal city lords were smiling happily. This share ratio was far beyond their imagination. This harvest was so rich that even if they did not go hunting under the sea of clouds for more than ten years, it would be enough to support them.
Zong Shou secretly shook his head. Thirty million fourth-level beast crystals flowed into the market. Several provinces bordering Yunlu to the east and west of Yunlu could not be digested for a while. The consequences would only be inflation. This beast crystal It seems that it will still depreciate significantly, so he should save more materials. Even if he wants to trade, it is best to barter.
However, such a huge wealth was no less than the previous income from Jie Fucheng. Naturally, he did not dare to take it with him, so he deposited it directly into the bank opened by Wujue Villa and Taiyuan Sect on the same day.
In the end, only Qiao Han from the Kongqi Sect remained. It had only been twenty days since we last met. This man's clothes changed again, his face was red and he was overflowing with joy. It was obvious that he had been promoted to deacon again.
But at this moment, he pretended to be bitter and said: "If I had learned that His Highness purchased the Yuan Mie Nu, it was really to plot against the Taoyun cities, Qiao Han would not have sold the eight hundred Yuan Mie Nu to His Highness no matter what."
Zong Shou didn't know what he meant. If it was a business deal, the large order of three million fourth-level beast crystals had already been negotiated and given a considerable discount. There was really nothing to talk about between the two of them. But there was no trace of sadness on his face: "Why did Deacon Qiao say this? I have already explained this matter before. It was purely an accident. At that time, I didn't know at all that there were four thousand cloud ships outside the canyon. Waiting. We found out later, but it was too late."
"Your Highness, I know exactly what the situation is. I, the Kongqi Sect, have no intention of pursuing it!"
Qiao Han shook his head. He was well aware of Zong Shou's ability to deceive people and would never be fooled again: "Does Your Highness know? I, Qiao Han, have been appointed by the sect and will be stationed in Qiantian Mountain in the future?"
Zong Shou was startled for a moment, and then he heard Qiao Han sigh and explain: "Your Highness will restore the power of Qiantian Mountain in just a few months. After this return, the west of Yunlu will definitely change dramatically. Your Highness has the qualifications to do so. , so that my sect is like this!"
Zong Shou burst out laughing and was about to speak when he saw Zong Yuan in the distance, striding towards him: "Taoyun City envoy Lin Ji wants to see you!"
The voice was sonorous and powerful, but Zong Shou frowned slightly. This was another acquaintance, but time had passed since he was threatened by this person more than twenty days ago.
I do n’t know what this person is, what does it mean? (Unparalleled.)
