On the mountainside of Yao Mountain, under a few pine trees, Ji Hao and Shaosi sat facing each other, separated by a tea table made from a tree stump. A pretty little maid was kneeling beside the tea table, carefully serving a tea set.
Ji Hao had personally selected the finest mud, mixed it with a few kinds of brightly colored mineral powders, and made the glaze with them. The porcelain tea set was made according to the techniques of his previous life. It was as smooth as a mirror, as thin as a piece of paper, and had a bright and pure color. In his previous life, this kind of tea set was a rare treasure, and in this era, it was even more so.
Back then, human leaders mostly used gold, jade, bronze and other kinds of wares, while ordinary people mostly used coarse pottery, wood and stone wares. Ji Hao's porcelain was truly unique, and no one else could produce it.
The little maid carefully poured a cup of tea for Ji Hao and Shaosi respectively, then conveniently dropped two drops of silver dew collected from green lotuses in the lake into the tea. Wisps of elegant fragrance wafted out, making one feel relaxed and refreshed, even clearing one's mind.
"So nice." Shaosi carefully looked at the teacup on the tea table, smilingly nodded and said, "Really nice, beautiful, even more exquisite than jade wares. If we can make it in large quantities, this tea set can be sold in Pu Ban City for even ten-thousand jade coins. "
"When we come back, we can make it in large quantities." Ji Hao smilingly pointed at a mountaintop in the south and said, "That mountain has excellent soil. With some manpower, it can be made easily."
Shaosi held the teacup with both of her hands, carefully took a sip of the tea, then even narrowed her eyes, looking like a lazy cat.
A gale blew over from the mountain, fluttering Shaosi's long hair. The bangs in front of her forehead were lifted up, exposing her smooth forehead and a layer of fine hair on her hairline.
"Tea is good. The tea made by those lords in Pu Ban City tastes like soup, not as good as ours. " Shaosi curved her lips down, smilingly looked at Ji Hao, and a faint trace of warmth flashed across her eyes. She had tasted tea in Si Xi's home. Just as she said, the tea made by Si Xi's family was truly like soup, not at all refreshing and refreshing like this tea she was drinking now.
"In the future, our Earl Yao territory will have a special product. Porcelain, it's always easy to sell." Ji Hao smilingly looked at Shaosi and said gently, "As long as we can come back safely from the fighting field."
Shaosi's eyes narrowed into a pair of curved lines, then she looked down the mountain. Outside Yao Mountain City, numerous towns and villages were faintly visible. Large numbers of Yao Mountain people had been moving around those towns and villages. They had been chopping firewood and carrying it back to the towns and villages. The weather was freezing, and the consumption of firewood was rather high.
"This winter, more than eleven million children were born in the territory." Shaosi's tone turned gentler and warmer, "Year after year, more and more people will come to our territory, and Earl Yao's territory will grow stronger and stronger. We'll definitely come back safely. "
Ji Hao knocked his finger on the tea table, straightened his tone and said seriously to Shaosi, "Therefore, you have to improve your power as soon as possible. Taisi is already a Magus King. You, Yu Mu, Feng Xing, you have to improve your powers as soon as possible. "
Shaosi closed her eyes while a faint layer of white light sparkled around her body.
The Netherworld kind was also called the Netherworld kind. They were like human beings, but not like human beings, like gods, but not like gods. They were born with the ability to communicate with all kinds of ghosts and gods in the world. Even right after they were born, they could sense the power of those powerful creatures, who had fallen back in the prehistorical era. Somehow, they could sense the power of those powerful creatures, who had fallen back in the prehistorical era, and borrow their great and dreadful powers.
Different from the current popular cultivation methods of the humankind, the Netherworld kind didn't need to cultivate themselves at all, neither did they need to rely on anything. Instead, they could communicate with those powerful beings in the dark world and borrow their powers. The more they killed and the more they offered, the more they would naturally grow stronger.
Taking Taisi as an example, when River Earl Jade Dragon led the Huai Water army to attack the city, he summoned the terrifying being in the dark world and slaughtered countless aquatic creatures, devouring their souls and spirit blood. That terrifying being in the dark world was extremely satisfied with Taisi's' offering '. Therefore, it immediately improved Taisi's body potential to an extremely high level, directly allowing Taisi to attain the peak-senior-level power.
After that, Taisi somehow broke into the level of Magus King, and among all Magus Kings, he could be counted as one of the most powerful ones.
However, if you asked Taisi to tell you how exactly he broke into the level of Magus King, this muddle-headed guy would never be able to explain it. Anyhow, he had attained the Magus-King-level power just like that.
"If I want to gain power too fast … it might be too …" Shaosi looked at Ji Hao a bit hesitantly.
"Blood offering?" Ji Hao followed all of Shaosi's thoughts closely. The Magi Palace didn't have many records about the Netherworld kind, only a few bits and pieces. However, Ji Hao had learned a lot from Candle Dragon Gui, about the Netherworld kind, about their magical powers, and the source of their powers.
Hearing that Ji Hao had already told her about her worries, Shaosi seriously nodded and said, "Our kind, if we can satisfy those fallen powerful beings with a great amount of blood offering, we will attain great powers very soon. But, things like blood offering … "
Ji Hao picked up the teacup, smilingly gulped it down and said, "As long as it's not a blood offering to the humankind, I don't have to feel too guilty, do I? In fact, killing as many non-humankind monsters as you want is not a crime. Alright, leave this to me. You just need to take charge of the blood offering. "
Nothing more than spirit blood and soul offering. If he had to slaughter a great number of human beings for power, Ji Hao wouldn't be able to accept that either. However, if he had to do the blood offering to those non-humankind monsters, Ji Hao wouldn't feel guilty at all.
Didn't they see that in the battle in Evil Dragon Bay, Ji Hao had killed so many non-humankind beings, and even received an immeasurable natural reward from the great Dao of nature?
Early next morning, Zhu Rong Long and the other seven Divine Magi rushed to Pu Ban City with over a hundred thousand elite warriors. Ninety percent of all magic crystals, essence gold, jade and other valuables stored in the storehouse of Earl Yao's mansion were taken away.
Winter was the off-season for slave trading in Pu Ban City. In the storehouse of the Pu Ban City slave market, countless slaves were kept in pens like livestock, quietly waiting for customers to come in the spring. At this time, the price of slaves in the Pu Ban City market was at least thirty percent lower than usual.
Zhu Rong Long and the other Divine Magi knocked on the doors of the few largest slave dealers in Pu Ban City. Large piles of jade coins, magic crystals, jade, essence gold and other valuables were thrown in front of them. Groups of non-humankind slaves were escorted out of the storehouse, wrapped in fiery clouds raised by Zhu Rong Long and the other Divine Magi, heading to Pu Ban City in a formidable array.
Powerful Jia Clan warriors, strong dark-kind slave warriors, non-humankind slaves who had been yelling like old hens, and countless non-humankind slaves were escorted to the outside of Yao Mountain City, standing straight in the wilderness outside the city.
A small altar stood in the middle of the wilderness. Ji Hao had already killed a Magus-King-level beast with his own hands and offered it to the altar.
