"This is the first 300 chapters in my life!" "I'm in tears!"
… …
"How about it, Green Spirit? What price do you think?"
"A Pure Yang Celestial Device is a loss no matter what price you offer. You might as well refine it for your own use. The Octupole Exquisite Pagoda was refined from the essence of the Eight Holy Mountains. It's the most powerful Pure Yang Celestial Device. That guy doesn't have the ability to give full play to the power of this celestial device, and he doesn't even know how to use it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated by you so easily!"
"I also want to keep this thing, but you have to understand that the biggest tragedy in life is to get something that doesn't match your strength. Now, I can keep one Pure Yang Celestial Device and even use it to deter others. But if I have two, and one of them is from the imperial family, then I'll get into trouble because of my wealth. This matter can't be hidden from others!" Junior Leopard smiled bitterly. "Although my relationship with the Immortal Palace is deeper now, the Immortal Palace will never break the rules that have been in place for hundreds of thousands of years and stand up for me publicly. Therefore, the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda is a troublemaker in my hands. The earlier I send it out, the better!"
"That makes sense. Just like the Innate Green Lotus Seed, your Air-frozen Bead is short of materials, isn't it? You can exchange the materials of the Air-frozen Bead with the Li Family. You don't have to have all of them. Just exchange as much as you can! "
"Well, that's good. It's a good deal to give away a Pure Yang Celestial Device in public in exchange for a Pure Yang Celestial Device in secret!" Zhou Bao nodded and said, "By the way, the people from the Immortal Palace have arrived. It seems that the Immortal Palace really attaches great importance to the Azure Secret Area. In addition to Golden Rooster, two more experts came at once. Now there are three experts in my territory, which is enough to defend!"
"It's too wasteful to use three experts in your territory of 300 miles. But it's also safe!"
"I'm going to find them now, communicate with them, understand their situation, and see what I need to pay attention to. The guys from the Immortal Palace are strong, but sometimes they are too troublesome!"
"You are a member of the Immortal Palace now, but I feel that you are always thinking about how to make use of them. That's not good!" Green Spirit reminded.
"I know, I know. I'm planning to make use of them. It's wrong of me to do so!" Zhou Bao said repeatedly. His figure flashed and he rushed straight to the yard that was under construction.
… …
… …
"Junior Leopard, come, let me introduce you!"
At this time, the three people from the Immortal Palace led by Golden Rooster were searching for something in the place where Zhou Bao entered the Azure Secret Area. Seeing Zhou Bao coming in, Golden Rooster greeted him excitedly, "This is Moon Deer of Extended Net. You've met him before. And this is Sun Rat of Emptiness. You can call him Mouse. This guy is best at digging holes and setting up formations!"
Zhou Bao smiled and cupped his hands to Sun Rat of Emptiness. "I'm Zhou Bao, Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket of the 28 constellations. Nice to meet you, senior!"
Seeing that Zhou Bao was so polite, Sun Rat of Emptiness also smiled. "We are a family, so there's no need to be so polite. But don't be rude like this Golden Rooster!" Saying this, he stared at Golden Rooster fiercely.
If it were any other time, Golden Rooster would have already retorted. But today, Golden Rooster got a big bargain from Zhou Bao, which broadened his mind a lot. He pretended that he would not lower himself to Zhou Bao's level, which made Sun Rat of Emptiness have no place to vent his anger.
"Junior Leopard, we don't want to talk to you anymore!" Golden Rooster chuckled and his expression gradually became serious. "This time, you know why we are here. The exit of the Azure Secret Area is of great importance. Even our Immortal Palace has to be cautious. This rat is the most proficient in formations among us 28 constellations. This time, he brought a Pure Yang Celestial Device, Great Void Dharma Wheel, to support this portal. However, it will take some time to set up the formation and integrate the entrance of the passageway with the Great Void Dharma Wheel. During this period, no one can disturb him. So this time, not only me, but also Moon Deer of Extended Net is here to protect this rat. Although we think we have enough manpower, it's better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, during this period, I hope you can help us. After all, this is your territory, and we don't want any accidents to happen here!"
"Of course, this is my territory. I'll be responsible for your safety!" Junior Leopard nodded and then laughed. "But, you are all together, so there's nothing unsafe about it!"
"It's better to be safe than sorry!" Golden Rooster shook his head and said, "It's best that you can cooperate with us. It will take at least half a year to set up the formation and the Great Void Dharma Wheel. During this period, there must be no accidents. Of course, this is also for your own good. Now in this world, except for our Immortal Palace, no one knows that you and Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket are the same person. However, if there is an accident and someone finds us in your territory, I believe that someone will soon associate us with the entrance of the Azure Secret Area, and then naturally associate you with the Immortal Palace. Those with rich imagination will naturally associate you with our Immortal Palace, and then your second identity may be lost."
"Are you scared?"
"I'm not trying to scare you. It's the truth. So, if you want to be safe, you'd better stay in your damn territory during this half a year. Don't run around, lest someone really has the guts to make trouble in your territory and lure us out. Finally, all your secrets will be revealed!"
"What you said makes sense. In this case, I'll stay here for half a year. By the way, will this thing be ready in half a year?"
"Half a year is just a prediction. If everything goes well, it'll be ready in five months at most!" Sun Rat of Emptiness said, "So you don't have to worry too much about us staying here!"
"It's good that you don't leave!" Zhou Bao laughed and said, "In this case, it's a deal. This is my territory. If you have any requests, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely do it!"
"Don't be so polite. When needed, Golden Rooster will come to you!" Sun Rat of Emptiness nodded and smiled. "I can't go out while I'm setting up a formation. Moon Deer of Extended Net has caused trouble outside and doesn't want to go out to make trouble. So, Golden Rooster will be responsible for contacting you. After you go out, ask your people to seal this place!"
"Seal it?" Zhou Bao was stunned. "Then what about your food and drink —"
"After this place is sealed, I'll open a passage to the outside by myself. In this way, it'll be safer. We'll work here, and you can build the courtyard outside. Neither of us will be delayed!"
"Well, that's fine. Then I'll tell them to seal this place!" Zhou Bao had to agree with a wry smile. These guys were all very weird. Since they had the habit of digging holes and wanted to enjoy themselves here, there was no reason for him not to agree!
The next day
In the living room of the west courtyard.
Li Xiu frowned and looked at the long list made by Zhou Bao. "I say, what are you doing? I haven't heard of most of the things on this list, and the rest are just legends. And — I say, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? If you don't want to give me, then don't. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
"You're wronging me. Who said I'm making things difficult for you? Do you think it's so easy to get a Pure Yang Celestial Device? Do you think a Pure Yang Celestial Device is not worth so much? If my conditions are too low, I'll be looking down on the Li Family of Pingzhou! "
Zhou Bao laughed and raised his hand. With a flash of yellow light, a one-meter-high bronze pagoda appeared in front of him. "I'll deliver the goods first. As for the things on this list, you can find as many as you can within five years. If you really can't find them, you can give me something that you think is of equal value. How about that?"
Seeing the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda, Li Xiu's eyes widened. He held the pagoda in his arms and looked at it carefully from top to bottom. After a while, he moved his eyes away from the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda and looked at Zhou Bao. "Okay, I agree to your conditions. Whether we can find the things you listed or not, the Li Family of Pingzhou owes you a favor!"
"You scions of aristocratic families, always speaking in such an overbearing manner!" Zhou Bao waved his hand and said, "As for me, I don't need you to owe me anything. Just do your best to get the things on the list. One more thing, when you go back, you must spread the news that the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda is in your family to Jianghu. I don't want others to come to me for this pagoda after you leave!"
"Don't worry. The Li Family of Pingzhou also needs a Pure Yang Celestial Device to stabilize its fate!" Li Xiu said with a smile, "Over the years, our Li family has always followed the rules, and we haven't done anything amazing. But some people have started to plot against us, and we need something to deter them. If we can get a Pure Yang Celestial Device at this time, it's enough to deter enough people!"
"I don't care what the Li Family does, but I don't want to be the enemy of the whole world for a Pure Yang Celestial Device!" Zhou Bao smiled and took a sip of tea. "You should understand my difficulties, right?"
"Of course, I understand. I'm not a fool!" Li Xiu laughed and said, "A Pure Yang Celestial Device can arouse many people's imagination about your mysterious background. Two Pure Yang Celestial Devices can make many people forget about your mysterious background. I also understand that saying too much is as bad as not enough!"
"Okay, then let's do it this way. We each take what we need!"
"Okay!" Li Xiu put away the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda and chatted with Junior Leopard for a while. Then, he rode his Gang Qi and headed southeast. He had unexpectedly obtained a Pure Yang Celestial Device. He wanted to return to his family as soon as possible because, with his strength, he was unable to keep such a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Only with the power of the Li Family of Pingzhou could he swallow this Pure Yang Celestial Device. Yan Fei had already left for a day. He believed that the news of Zhou Bao possessing a Pure Yang Celestial Device and seizing his Octupole Exquisite Pagoda would spread throughout Jianghu soon. He had to settle this matter before the news spread.
Zhou Bao had snatched the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda from Yan Fei. In Jianghu, it was because Yan Fei was not strong enough and lost the treasure because of his incompetence. There was nothing to complain about.
However, this matter was not just a simple Jianghu grudge. It also involved the Great Jin's royal family and the imperial family. To put it more seriously, Zhou Bao had snatched the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda from the royal family. That was why Zhou Bao had reluctantly given it away even though he knew how precious the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda was.
If he had kept the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda, he would not only have to face pressure from Jianghu, but also from the royal family and the imperial family. Now that he had given it away, the whole matter had become complicated. With the Li Family of Pingzhou in front of him, the pressure on him was much lighter.
Even the Great Jin's royal family could not force the Li Family of Pingzhou to return the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda to Yan Fei. This was unreasonable because the Li Family had obtained the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda from Zhou Bao. Zhou Bao had sold the Octupole Exquisite Pagoda and the item was not in his hands. If they really found him, he could just say that the item was in the hands of the Li Family of Pingzhou and he could not get it back.
As a civil servant in his previous life, Zhou Bao was the best at this kind of thing. Moreover, this thing was originally obtained by his own strength. Yan Fei was not so confident and confident. "What's more, Yan Fei is right." Yan Fei thought to himself.
Therefore, this time, Zhou Bao had thrown away a hot potato. He had made friends with the Li Family of Pingzhou and gained great benefits. As for the Li Family of Pingzhou, it was easy to get a Pure Yang Celestial Device that was priceless. Why not?
This was a win-win situation!
As for the grudge between Zhou Bao and Yan Fei, he had no reason to be afraid. After all, Yan Fei was just a guy who had just reached Level Seven.
The identity of a member of the royal family could scare others, but not Zhou Bao. Without a Pure Yang Celestial Device, this guy was just a tiger without teeth. There was nothing to be afraid of. If he dared to make trouble for him, Zhou Bao would definitely humiliate this Xining King's Royal Highness.
Although it was not a good habit to climb up by stepping on others' heads, Zhou Bao did not mind if he was forced to do so.
Because of the entrance to the Azure Secret Area, Zhou Bao had to stay in his fief for at least five months to be on the safe side.
Five months!
Since his cultivation had been successful, he had not stayed in one place for such a long time except for closed-door training.
Now his cultivation had reached Level Seven. Because he needed to refine acupoints, he had been thinking about acupoints. He had been suppressing his strength and did not deliberately practice. He was afraid that his Internal Qi would unknowingly break through to Level Eight and affect his future cultivation.
His physical strength had completely reached the level of a Level Eight expert. Moreover, he had External Elixir, Demonic Fire, and Pure Yang Celestial Device. His Internal Qi was incomparably intelligent and transparent. His Gang Qi had already materialized. He had already reached the requirements for entering Level Eight. However, he was not willing to enter Level Eight before he refined his acupoints. Therefore, he did not even change his cultivation now. He was afraid that his Internal Qi would accidentally enter Level Eight. If he did not refine his acupoints, it would be too late to cry.
"Sigh, what an unlucky world. Others can't wait to improve their martial arts, but I'm thinking of ways to hinder the progress of my cultivation. If others were to find out about this, I'd be cursed to death!"
After staying in the territory for three days and being bored for three days, Zhou Bao felt uncomfortable all over. "Green Spirit, what do you want me to do? I'm going to die of boredom after not practicing for so many days!"
"Just bear with it. In your current situation, your Internal Qi is surging and your Blood Qi is soaring. You can enter Level Eight at any time. You can turn Internal Qi into Gang and condense Real Essence Source. Now you can't even practice punching, let alone practice martial arts. Don't study the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. The formation dust contains the Great Way. Maybe when you study the formation, you will also promote your cultivation. If I were you, I would stay here and think about how to refine and open acupoints!"
"Refine and open acupoints is a delicate work. You need to calm down. Otherwise, even if you die, you won't know how you die!" With a helpless look, Zhou Bao sat down and said, "My Golden Flame Mirror has been exposed. In the following days, there will be no peace here, and it's impossible for me to calm down and open my acupoints quietly!"
"There is gain and there is loss. I can't help you. Recently, I also need to concentrate on my practice and restore my Original Spirit. So, don't come to me!" Green Spirit's thoughts disappeared as he finished speaking.
"Hey, hey, what did you say? You …!"
Zhou Bao called Green Spirit a few times, but he didn't get any response from Green Spirit. When he looked at the green lamp again, it was already dim and there was nothing special about it. Zhou Bao knew that Green Spirit had gone back to restore his Original Spirit. He could only curse bitterly and stopped calling.
… …
… …
"Damn it, these guys really don't know when to stop!"
For five consecutive days, Zhou Bao didn't sleep well. The reason was very simple. The news that he had a Pure Yang Celestial Device had spread in Jianghu. More and more people in the martial arts world came to spy on him.
At the beginning, there were experts at Level Four, Five and Six. Now, there were many experts above Level Seven. Although there was no sign of the appearance of Level Eight experts, Zhou Bao believed that it would not be long before Level Eight experts appeared one after another.
After all, the Pure Yang Celestial Device was too tempting. No one knew this better than Zhou Bao, who had a Pure Yang Celestial Device and had used its power.
If it was in normal times, Zhou Bao wouldn't care if they came. But now, the situation was a little different. His yard was under construction, and the entrance of the Azure Secret Area was also in the process of construction.
Although the entrance to the Minging Vein had been sealed, there was no guarantee that someone would be curious enough to go there and explore. It was okay for those with lower cultivation, but if their cultivation was higher than Level Eight, they might really be able to find some flaws. Because after five days, Zhou Bao finally could not help but take action.
Although his territory was large, what really attracted people's attention was the small town centralization at the foot of Jilei Mountain and the yard that was under construction. If others wanted to inquire about the news, they naturally wouldn't go to the barren mountains. They could only inquire in the small town centralization or the yard that was under construction. With Junior Leopard's cultivation, it was very easy to find them.
To deal with these people, Zhou Bao naturally wouldn't be too polite. First, he beat them violently and then drove them out.
But very soon, Zhou Bao found that this method didn't work. After driving away a Level Five expert, the next one would be a Level Six expert. If the Level Six expert was driven away by Zhou Bao, the next one would be a Level Seven expert. After five or six days, Zhou Bao couldn't stand it anymore and his killing intent was aroused.
"Damn it, when a tiger doesn't show its power, you take me as a sick cat, don't you? Do I look so easy to bully? "
Looking at the guys who were tied up in front of him, Zhou Bao's face darkened. In the yard, there were a total of seven people tied up and kneeling on the ground. Their cultivation was between Level Five and Level Six, and one of them was a Level Seven expert. They all belonged to different influences.
"Zhou Bao, what are you doing? Let go of me. Do you know who I am?"
Among them, the expert with Level Seven cultivation looked fearless. "I'm telling you, I'm Prince Ning's …!"
With a flash of saber light, the Level Seven expert's head was cut off. The blood on his neck spurted more than 10 feet high. At the moment when the head fell, it was still flashing with an incredible light.
"Humph!" After that, Zhou Bao snorted coldly. In an instant, a cold and powerful psychic wave was generated and stirred violently. The spirit of the Level Seven expert was completely shattered, and his spirit and body were destroyed.
Zhou Bao turned around and returned the saber in his hand to Zhu Ba who was standing aside. With a cold face, Zhou Bao fiercely glanced at the remaining six people. Finally, he fixed his eyes on the face of a Level Five expert who was about 30 years old.
"You, are you also Prince Ning's man?!"
That person was obviously frightened by Zhou Bao. A Level Seven expert was killed without any hesitation. He had never seen such cruel means.
Therefore, when Zhou Bao asked him, he was so scared that he didn't know how to answer. It was not until a cold murderous intent attacked him that he reacted.
"Yes, yes, I'm Qin Lei, the bodyguard of Prince Ning!"
"I won't ask you why Prince Ning sent you here. Bring this guy's body to your Highness. Tell him not to send anyone else here in the future. Otherwise, I'll kill every single one of them!" Speaking of this, Zhou Bao paused a little. He suddenly turned his head and glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground. "The same goes for you. Go back and tell your master not to send people to make trouble for me anymore. Otherwise, next time, I won't be merciful. I'll kill whoever comes!"
No one spoke, but there was a trace of horror on their faces. Before Zhou Bao killed the Level Seven expert, they might have thought that Zhou Bao was just scaring them. But now that the Level Seven expert's head fell to the ground, they knew that Zhou Bao was not talking to them. It should be known that the Level Seven expert not only had a strong cultivation, but was also a subordinate of Prince Ning. Zhou Bao killed him without even blinking his eyes. Although they also had a background, their cultivation was not high enough, and their background was not as strong as Prince Ning's. How could Zhou Bao have any scruples about them?
