Bai Suxian also understood that she was just a bit moody. After comforting Bai Suxian and talking with Bai Runcheng for a short while, Zhang Tie turned around and boarded the airboat.
"Green mountains and clear water will always flow. Take care of yourselves. When we meet in the future, I will have a drink with you …" Zhang Tie cupped his hands towards them as he glanced at Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi silently.
Even at this moment, Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi still sensed Zhang Tie's last glance. After exchanging a glance with each other, the two women turned around at the same time. Due to the situation, the two women must have uttered a cold harrumph at this moment.
Zhang Tie felt helpless as Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi were born to be rivals. 'I'm fine with Guo Hongyi now; however, if I marry both of them in the future, my family would be in chaos if the two female knights fight each other.'
'Forget it, let's talk about it in the future!'
After dropping this whim, Zhang Tie boarded the airboat. After the door of the airboat was closed, it slowly started to fly towards the east. Through the crystal window on the door of the airboat, Zhang Tie saw the others leaving respectively — — Guo Hongyi returned to Blackwater Base; Bai Suxian returned to the airboat of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh too.
"General, where are we going now?" A captain in his forties with a purplish-red complexion asked respectfully.
This lieutenant was called Long Tao, the head of Zhang Tie's bodyguards. When Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Fortress, Commander-in-Chief Situ Mingyue allocated 800 guards of honor to Zhang Tie, an exclusive airboat which represented Zhang Tie's authority as Weiji General, a set of official uniforms, seals and remote-sensing communication devices which could be used to contact Commander-in-Chief Zhang. Zhang Tie was going to take office with these items.
"Let's go to Kangzhou City!" Zhang Tie sent an order, "I will go back to my room to cultivate for a while. Don't disturb me in the meantime. Call me when we arrive at Kangzhou City!"
"Yes, sir!" The head of bodyguards gave a salute and left. Zhang Tie then returned to his room.
This airboat was Zhang Tie's private vehicle. Zhang Tie's room in the airboat was much larger than that in the black-dragon airboat. Covering over 200 square meters, the room was divided into two floors. The lower floor was the office area; the upper floor was Zhang Tie's bedroom and cultivation room.
Zhang Tie looked around the room out of curiosity. After checking the decorations in the room, Zhang Tie nodded inside. There was no problem in his room. Neither was there any secret door or trick. As this was the official's airboat of Taixia Country, all the decorations in the airboat were less luxurious than that of Taiyi Fantasy Sect's airboat. However, everything in the room was very delicate, generous and comfortable; especially the soundproof and confidentiality in the room, which was better than that of Taiyi Fantasy Sect's airboat.
Nobody was in Zhang Tie's office. Zhang Tie didn't have any assistant or servant for the time being. After circling around the bottom floor of the room, Zhang Tie came to the bedroom and cultivation room upstairs.
Of course, the decorations in the bedroom were exquisite. A high-quality "crystal generator" with two pyramids filled the entire bedroom with the special aura brought by crystals. It was worth mentioning that there was a medium-level elements-gathering matrix in the cultivation room. The moment he entered the cultivation room, Zhang Tie had sensed that the four elements in the cultivation room were highly concentrated. In such an environment, it would be much more efficient to capture various element crystals in the Elements Realm than in the common environment.
Zhang Tie was very satisfied with everything here. Although the officials of Taixia Country didn't pursue luxurious enjoyment, they were not sloppy in cultivation at all.
"Castle Lord, how about digesting the fruits on the small tree? These days, the small tree has produced too many fruits. They almost have no place to grow!" Heller's voice sounded in Zhang Tie's mind when Zhang Tie looked around the cultivation room.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile. Closely after that, he entered Castle of Black Iron once again.
After almost 20 days, the small tree was covered with fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs. Zhang Tie found 188 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs.
"Ahh, so many fruits?"
"I can only say that Paul's team's efficiency is too high …" Heller said with a smile, "With sufficient supply, a team's efficiency is much higher than that of doing it yourself!" Zhang Tie touched his head, 'I can't do that.
Previously, when I didn't have any fruits to eat, I had to think about how to get some fruits to eat every day. Now that I've not come here for a few days, there would be too many fruits on the small tree. It would take me at least 2 days to digest all these fruits in Castle of Black Iron. However, as Weiji General, I couldn't disappear for a few days casually. If I disappeared for 2 hours in an emergency, such as being raided by demon knights, I might even make a mistake, not to mention 2 days.
Moreover, there was another problem. If he ate too many fruits at once, he would not be able to adapt to the sudden increase in his strength. For example, if he ate all these fruits in one go, his strength would increase by nearly 13 tons. With such strength, he would hurt the people around him if he wasn't careful. Maybe he could crush someone's hand with a shake of his hand, or kill someone with a pat on the shoulder …
"Castle Lord, you're worried that it would take you too long to eat these fruits!" Heller knew what Zhang Tie was thinking about.
"Yes, what solution do you have?"
"Hoho, Castle Lord, you can't see clearly. Based on your current ability, you could access Castle of Black Iron as fast as a lightning bolt. Additionally, the fruits on the small tree are not big. Although you couldn't take them out of Castle of Black Iron, as long as you pick them off and eat them rapidly, you could leave without being digested completely. It might take you less than 1 second to digest them slowly outside. Castle Lord, you don't have to worry about that. In this way, as long as you're free and not being seen by others, you could enter Castle of Black Iron at any time and leave after eating a fruit.
It wouldn't delay Castle Lord's business! "After hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie became stunned for a second. Closely after that, he patted his head forcefully, 'What a great inertia! Since I got the small tree, I've always digested all the fruits on the small tree in Castle of Black Iron. I've not thought of such a flexible method — — entering Castle of Black Iron as fast as possible, eating them rapidly and leaving the process of digesting fruits outside.'
'I'll do it right away.'
In the next second, Zhang Tie appeared on the small tree as fast as a lightning bolt. After picking a fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs and throwing it into his mouth, he chewed and ate it as fast as a lightning bolt. Before the juice of the fruit turned into a bizarre strength that flowed all over his body, Zhang Tie had already reappeared in the cultivation room of the airboat.
Sitting in the cultivation room with crossed legs and eyes closed, Zhang Tie started to digest the first fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs quietly.
About 15 minutes later, Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he disappeared from the cultivation room once again. 3 seconds later, Zhang Tie reappeared in the cultivation room with crossed legs. About another 15 minutes later, Zhang Tie disappeared once again. This time, it only took him 2 seconds to reappear in the cultivation room …
3 hours later, when Zhang Tie disappeared from the cultivation room for the 11th time, it only took him less than 0.5 seconds to reappear in the cultivation room. Zhang Tie's mouth was still moving as if he was chewing something. After 2 seconds, he completely swallowed it …
"Interesting, interesting …" Zhang Tie burst out into laughter in the cultivation room. Eating fruits in such a way made Zhang Tie feel like a monkey who sneaked into the orchard to steal fruits. After eating one fruit, he would slip away as fast as possible. It was really interesting.
Through constant experiments, Zhang Tie found the shortest time for him to take a fruit in Castle of Black Iron, which was less than 0.5 seconds. As long as he picked off the fruit and chewed it, he would be able to leave Castle of Black Iron without swallowing it completely.
'What could I do in 0.5 seconds?' Even if someone saw him disappearing and reappearing in the blink of an eye, he might doubt that he was dazzled. Even if he didn't feel dazzled, he might think that he was cultivating some secret battle skill. Some secret battle skills, especially knight's movement skills, could indeed cause one's body to disappear in a short period.
Like what Heller said, after mastering this method, Zhang Tie could come out of Castle of Black Iron by eating a fruit in a split second. He could digest the fruits in Castle of Black Iron at any time and enhance his battle strength. Additionally, he could eat fruits separately instead of eating too many fruits at once; instead of eating too many fruits at once, he could only eat one fruit at a time. In this way, he could adapt to the changes in his physical strength and other aspects brought by the fruits.
When he took the 13th fruit of redemption from golden uangs, Zhang Tie got one more thing — — 3 walnuts in Castle of Black Iron.
The walnuts in Castle of Black Iron were tasty, big and thin-skinned. Zhang Tie rotated the 3 walnuts in his hand so as to adapt to and regulate his rapidly growing strength …
As long as one put his heart into cultivation, he could always find a way.
…
10 hours later, Zhang Tie's airboat landed in Kangzhou City in the evening. The moment the hatch door of the airboat was opened, those officials who were waiting for the arrival of the new Weiji General saw a 17-year old handsome teenager in boa silk robe getting off the airboat safely with 3 walnuts in his hand, followed by two rows of sturdy armored attendants …
Everybody became stunned for a second before realizing what was going on.
"Weiji General …" All the officials knelt down at the same time …
