On this day, Song Zhong was enjoying tea with Shuijin and the other girls when someone suddenly reported that the Hong couple had come to visit.
Song Zhong naturally did not dare to slight them and hurriedly went out to welcome them. As they met, SongZhong wanted to cup his fists in greeting and say a few polite words. However, he did not expect Old Man Hong to stop him and say, "Don't talk nonsense, come with me!" As he said that, he forcefully pulled SongZhong and flew out.
Song Zhong naturally did not understand. While flying involuntarily, he asked curiously, "Senior, may I know what happened?"
"I don't know!" Old Man Hong said straightforwardly.
His answer made Song Zhong not know whether to laugh or cry. He could not help but smile bitterly. "Since you don't know what happened, why are you so anxious?"
"It's not me who is anxious, it's the Hall Master!" Old Man Hong said. "That uncle of mine seems to have an extremely important matter to discuss with you, so he sent me to capture you!"
"It can't be?" Song Zhong could not help but smile bitterly. "I'm not anyone important. As long as he says the word, I will go. Is there a need for you to come personally?"
"It's not the same!" Old Man Hong said solemnly. "This matter is no small matter. Even the sect master has been alarmed, so the Hall Master ordered me to come personally to find you! Lad, you have to be careful! "
"En? Even the sect master has been alarmed? "Song Zhong could not help but ask in surprise." What could have happened? "
"Could it be that you have caused trouble recently?" Old Man Hong could not help but frown.
"Not me?" Song Zhong hurriedly said. "I have been staying at home these few days and did not go anywhere. How could I have caused trouble?"
"Think about it!" Madam Hong could not help but ask with concern. "Have you done anything out of line recently?"
"This, let me think about it!" Song Zhong scratched his head and thought carefully for a while. Suddenly, he said, "Aiya, could it be that I have made some transactions with others recently and violated some taboos?"
"What kind of transactions did you make?" Old Man Hong could not help but frown.
"It's just a normal transaction? I used the refining materials in my hands to exchange for some elixirs! "Song Zhong said innocently," This, this doesn't seem to violate any taboos, right? "
As it turned out, because the jade tree in Song Zhong's palace was extremely famous, there were several hundred types of spiritual herbs that were needed. Thus, ever since the jade tree had returned to Song Zhong, many experts of the Xuantian Supermonastery had come to ask for the jade tree's leaves and other medicinal herbs. Song Zhong had just arrived, so he naturally had to give face to these masters above the Yuanying Realm. Therefore, when they came, he entertained them well. Those people were also willing to befriend Song Zhong. Not to mention other things, just for the spiritual herbs produced by the jade tree, they could not afford to offend him. Thus, after a while, everyone became familiar with each other.
Among cultivators, the things they talked about the most were magic treasures, cultivation methods, spirit pills, and the like. Thus, as they talked, everyone could not help but ask each other if there were any materials that they needed but could not find.
One had to know that Song Zhong's life space had all kinds of materials piled up like a mountain. Although there were not many high-grade goods, they were many times better than ordinary Yuanying Realm cultivators. Moreover, the variety of materials in his hands was extremely complete. It was simply all-encompassing, with hundreds of thousands of kinds. After all, it was obtained by breaking down millions of magic treasures and artifacts. How could it not be complete?
In this way, as long as those cultivators said what they wanted, Song Zhong could almost immediately satisfy them. They were so excited that they hurriedly wanted to exchange. But in this way, a problem also appeared.
Because Song Zhong had almost no need for materials. After all, he had too many materials. He could not even use them all himself. How could he take a fancy to others' materials? Therefore, those cultivators could hardly come up with any materials that were worthy of Song Zhong's purchase.
When they saw that Song Zhong did not want anything, they were a little anxious. So they asked Song Zhong what he needed. Song Zhong thought for a while and finally decided to ask for spirit medicine! The best spirit medicine!
The reason why Song Zhong wanted this thing was that he saw the Great Shadow's realm improving so quickly. He was a little envious and wanted to use spirit medicine to improve his magical power so that he could advance as soon as possible. Anyway, he had the enlightenment tea and the mind dual cultivation with Shuijin. He could also comprehend the Heavenly Dao and improve his realm, so he did not have to worry about this.
However, he was now a Jin Dan Elixir. Medicine that could greatly improve a Foundation Establishment cultivator's magical power was useless to him. Therefore, the spirit medicine he was looking for was not low grade. It was almost impossible to buy it in the ordinary market. High-level cultivators had their own circle and generally did not trade outside. Therefore, Song Zhong had always wanted to get spirit medicine, but he had no way to do so.
Coincidentally, he had such an opportunity this time, so he locked his main collection target on spirit medicine. In this way, those high-level cultivators became extremely excited.
Because what Song Zhong needed was spirit medicine that could improve his magical power. Although this kind of medicine was good, they did not dare to eat too much. Because if they had too much magical power and their realm was not high enough, it was easy to be devoured by the magical power. If it was light, they would go berserk. If it was serious, they would die. Who would dare to take this risk?
Therefore, the spirit medicine in their hands were usually refined into medicine for healing. They rarely refined medicine to improve magical power. And medicine for injuries was not very useful. After all, at their realm, there was only a small chance of getting injured.
In this way, they had more or less accumulated some high-level spirit medicine in their hands. It would be a pity to sell these things. If they did not sell them, they would be useless. Instead, they would become useless things.
In the end, Song Zhong was willing to use materials to refine high-level magical weapons to exchange for these things. How could they not be happy? Throwing all the useless elixirs to SongZhong, they carried the top grade materials back to refine their magical artifacts. In addition, it was worth mentioning that cultivators had a close relationship with each other. Since they had benefited, they naturally wanted to let their friends and family benefit. Therefore, they spread the news that Song Zhong was a fool with a lot of money.
As a result, Song Zhong's door suddenly became crowded. Almost every day, he had to deal with several Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Most of the time, there were even more than a dozen of them together.
Everyone was because, in the face of so many high-level cultivators, Song Zhong would soon be emptied out. However, a scene that shocked them appeared. Song Zhong had been dealing with them for one or two months in a row. He had given out countless high-level materials, but there was still no situation that made things difficult for him. As long as they asked him for ores, metals and other materials, no matter how remote, difficult to find, or how large the quantity, he did not hesitate to agree. There was only a time when you couldn't afford it. There was never a time when he couldn't sell it! As a result, among the upper echelons of the Xuantian Branch, there was a secret saying, "If you lack materials, go find Song Zhong!"
Although in the eyes of others, Song Zhong was a bit stupid to use so many high quality materials to exchange for a pile of garbage that could be eaten by coal. But to those who received benefits, Song Zhong was without a doubt the most lovable person. They were all very grateful. Therefore, Song Zhong's status in the Xuantian Branch also rose. With the dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators he made friends with, he could be considered to have a firm foothold here. Not to mention that he had the protection of the Hong Clan and Plum Blossom, even if he didn't have them, he didn't have to worry about the Huo Clan causing trouble.
As long as the Huo Clan dared to touch him, those high leveled cultivators who still wanted to get good materials would destroy the Huo Clan!
Of course, Song Zhong didn't really suffer a loss by paying so much. Just the hundreds of thousand year old lingzhi, ten thousand year old ginseng and other nourishing spiritual medicines he obtained were enough for him to eat for dozens of years. Moreover, most of these spiritual medicines were alive. Even their roots were stored in jade boxes. Song Zhong was reluctant to eat them, so he simply planted them in his own life space. Inside, their growth would certainly be even more amazing because of the rich spiritual energy. In the future, Song Zhong would certainly gain more.
Other than that, a small portion of the spiritual herbs were fruits. SongZhong decided to go all out and plant them all. Although they would only grow after hundreds or thousands of years, SongZhong was not in a hurry. As long as he advanced to the YuanYing stage, he would have a lifespan of a thousand years.
Regarding Song Zhong being in the limelight these days, the Hong Clan couple actually knew about it. They even went to Song Zhong to exchange some things. However, they didn't think it was a bad thing. After all, the appearance of Song Zhong allowed many Nascent Soul stage masters to collect the materials they needed. For a time, the entire Xuantian Branch had a craze for refining magic weapons. It was estimated that in a few years, at least a dozen magic weapons of seventh rank and above would be successfully refined. This would greatly enhance the strength of the Xuantian Branch. In any case, this was a merit, not a sin.
Thinking of this, Old Hong said to Song Zhong, "Maybe we are too sensitive. Maybe this time, the higher-ups are looking for you for a good thing!"
"I hope so!" Song Zhong smiled helplessly. Although he said so, in fact, he was a little worried in his heart. He was afraid that the higher-ups would trace the origin of these materials. At that time, it would be hard to say. He could only take out his identity as the Prince of the East China Sea as a shield, saying that these things were the specialties of the East China Sea and the people below were filial piety. As for why the people below only gave him minerals and metals, but not some spiritual medicines, Song Zhong didn't know how to explain it!
With an uneasy mood, Song Zhong, led by the Hong couple, arrived at the main hall of the Sword Sect Divine Hall. This was a sword-shaped building that towered into the clouds. It was suffused with a dense cold light that contained infinite killing intent! Even if this thing was a building, it was also a magic weapon with endless functions. Unfortunately, Song Zhong didn't know.
After the three of them arrived here, they were stopped by the cultivators guarding outside. To the surprise of Old Hong and Madam Hong, the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators with lofty identities were actually stopped here. They were not brought in as usual, but were kindly persuaded to return. Only Song Zhong was brought in.
Looking at Song Zhong's back disappearing into the building, the Hong couple couldn't help but frown deeply.
"It seems that the matter is not small! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been stopped outside! "Old Hong said worriedly," What do you think it is? "
"I don't know either!" Madam Hong shook her head and said, "However, there's one thing I'm very sure of. This matter definitely has nothing to do with Song Zhong selling high-grade materials!"
"Could it be that the higher-ups suspect the origin of his materials?" Old Hong suddenly said.
"Not necessarily. If that's the case, they would only investigate in secret. It's impossible for them to directly find Song Zhong and question him. After all, everyone has their own privacy. Song Zhong's current status is the same as yours and mine. He's not someone who can be bullied at will. This is too much of a taboo!" Madam Hong suddenly said, "I feel that this matter seems to be related to the two Spirit Severing Stage seniors who rushed here today!"
"You mean the two seniors specially sent by the main hall?" Old Hong asked.
"En!" Madam Hong nodded and said, "Most likely!"
"Strange, Song Zhong is just a Jin Dan Elixir, why would the main courtyard be alarmed?" Old man Hong could not help but guess, "Could it be that the Xuanji Dao Sect has come to the main courtyard?"
"They won't. The Xuanji Dao Sect still has some dignity. Last time, they failed and Song Zhong repaid their evil with kindness by releasing that Spirit Severing Stage senior. No matter how thick-skinned they are, they won't go as far as to complain to the higher-ups about this matter. Moreover, in an occasion like the Main Courtyard, such a small matter was not worth mentioning at all. I'm guessing there's something else! "
"Forget it, it's not good for us to guess blindly here. Why don't we go back and wait for the news?" Old Hong said helplessly.
"That's good too. Go back and think about what's going on!" Madam Hong agreed and flew home on her sword with Old Man Hong.
Following the guard, SongZhong made many turns and finally arrived at a heavily guarded secret room. After walking in, Song Zhong was shocked to find that the Xuantian Branch's Master, Shui Menglong, was sitting at the head of the table, and below her was Hong Tengfei. There were two beautiful cultivators in the guest seats beside them, both dressed in green. It seemed that they were also Spirit Severing Stage experts.
Song Zhong originally thought that Hong Tengfei wanted to see him, but unexpectedly, Shui Menglong was also here. He could not help but be stunned.
At this time, Shui Menglong was different from her usual sleepy appearance. Her eyes were bright and full of spirit. When she saw Song Zhong come in, she took the initiative to greet him, "Haha, you're finally here. Sit, sit!"
Although Shui Menglong was extremely enthusiastic, Song Zhong did not dare to be rude. Afraid that this was a trap, he hurriedly said respectfully, "I don't dare, I don't dare. In front of Senior, how can this junior sit!"
"Aiya, I told you to sit, so sit. Stop talking nonsense!" Shui Menglong could not help but say in dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Master! " Seeing that this fellow was about to get angry, Song Zhong did not dare to refuse. He hurriedly thanked her and then carefully sat down.
Shui Menglong was satisfied and said, "That's right!"
Then he stroked his beard and said unhurriedly, "Song Zhong, you've been here for a few months. Have you been well?" “
"Thank you sect master for your concern, this junior is doing very well!" SongZhong's words came from the bottom of his heart. After coming here, he did not have to be careful and look at people's faces. He lived well, played well, and was respected by everyone. It was a completely heaven-like life. How could it not be good? So when he said this, he was very sincere, and at the same time, he showed his gratitude to Shui Menglong. After all, all of this could not be separated from his contribution.
Shui Menglong was very satisfied with Song Zhong's answer and nodded, "That's good! You're a talent in our sect. All of this is what you deserve! "
Then, Shui Menglong hesitated for a moment and then asked hesitantly, "Song Zhong, I heard that you've been doing a lot of transactions in the sect recently and have sold a lot of high-grade materials. Is this true?"
When Song Zhong heard this, he thought to himself, 'Here it comes, I'm afraid it's not something good!'
Thinking of this, he hurriedly pretended to be surprised and said, "That's indeed the case. But those things came from legitimate sources. I didn't steal or rob them?"
"Hahaha!" Shui Menglong heard this and immediately laughed. Even Hong Tengfei and the other two beauties could not help but cover their mouths and laugh non-stop.
Shui Menglong then smiled and said, "Silly boy, why are you worried about this? Don't say that you came from legitimate sources. Even if you didn't, so what? I don't care how you got those things. Even if you stole or robbed them, so what? Anyway, it's fine as long as you didn't steal from our own people! As long as it can increase the strength of our Xuantian Supermonastery, I'm more than happy. How could I blame you? "
When Song Zhong heard this, he let out a long sigh of relief and laughed, "Hehe, junior understands!"
"Haha, as long as you understand!" Shui Menglong's expression immediately changed and she solemnly said, "Song Zhong, I called you over this time to ask you if you know about the Moonlight Orb?"
"Moonlight Orb?" As SongZhong heard that, he furrowed his brows and began to ponder. After going through his mind a few times and confirming that he did not have it in his Natal Artifact, he said with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, sect master. I really do not have the Moonlight Orb. I have not even heard of it before!"
Hearing that Song Zhong did not have the Moonlight Orb, Shui Menglong and the others all revealed a trace of disappointment. But they quickly pulled themselves together and Shui Menglong bitterly smiled, "The Moonlight Orb is an extremely rare treasure. Let alone you, even our entire Xuantian Dao Sect was unable to obtain it no matter how hard we tried!"
When Song Zhong heard this, he couldn't help curiously asking, "Since it's so rare, then you were wrong to call me over. I'm just a Jin Dan rookie."
"Haha, we know your cultivation base is Jin Dan, and we also know that it's very likely you don't have the Moonlight Orb. In truth, the reason we called you over this time was not to ask you for the Moonlight Orb, but to ask you to help us obtain it!" Shui Menglong smiled.
"Oh?" When Song Zhong heard this, he immediately curiously asked, "From what you're saying, it seems you know where the Moonlight Orb is!"
"Indeed!" Shui Menglong nodded.
"Wow!" Song Zhong bitterly smiled, "You really know how to joke. If you knew where it was, then you could've just obtained it yourselves. Why would you ask a disciple to go? "
"Because it's a bit difficult. Even if we went, we wouldn't be able to obtain it. Only you might be able to!" Shui Menglong solemnly said, "That's why we specially asked for your help this time!"
"Little brother, this Moonlight Orb is extremely important to us. Please help us!" A beautiful female cultivator suddenly said earnestly.
"As long as you help us this time, our Shui family will owe you a favor!" Another female cultivator added.
"Shui family?" When Song Zhong heard this, he immediately asked, "Could it be one of the four great families of the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Shui family?"
"That's right!" Shui Menglong nodded, "That's right, it's our Shui family!"
This time, Song Zhong was truly shocked. He hastily asked, "Senior, what, what's going on?"
It had to be known that the Shui family was one of the four great families of the Xuantian Dao Sect. They had many experts in their family. Even a Void Refinement expert like Shui Menglong was only in the lower echelons. There were even a few Body Integration experts in their family. A favor owed by such a terrifying clan would definitely be invaluable.
However, it was precisely because of this that Song Zhong was even more alarmed. If it was something that could be easily done, why would they need to ask him for help? Since they were asking him for help, it meant that it was definitely something big. If it was done well, then it was fine. But if it wasn't done well, then he might lose his life! Thus, SongZhong did not dare to agree to it too easily.
Hearing Song Zhong's question, Shui Menglong knew that Song Zhong had some misgivings in his heart. She frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Then she resolutely said, "Fine. In any case, this matter can't be hidden for long. I might as well tell you. It's like this. One of our family's Body Integration elders triggered a minor heavenly tribulation when he tried to break through to the Mahayana realm. Unfortunately, he wasn't prepared enough. Although he barely managed to endure it, at the final moment, his soul was injured by the strongest tribulation lightning! "
Hearing this, Song Zhong was immediately startled. It had to be known that the most important thing to a cultivator wasn't the body or the spiritual sense, but the soul. If the body was injured, there were large amounts of spirit medicines that could heal it. Even if it was a broken arm or leg, it could be easily repaired. If the spiritual sense was injured, it could also be healed with various spirit medicines and special techniques. But the soul was the foundation of a person. Once it was injured, it was extremely difficult to heal. Other than the legendary spirit pills of the Immortal World, there were practically no spirit medicines that could heal it. As for immortal pills, they were simply illusory things. Even a large sect like the Xuantian Dao Sect that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years didn't have them. So generally speaking, if one's soul was injured, then they could only wait for death.
So when Song Zhong heard that the Shui family's senior had injured her soul, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior, isn't there no medicine that can heal a soul injury? Could it be that the Moonlight Pearl you're looking for can heal it? "
"That's right!" Shui Haolong nodded. "The Moonlight Pearl is a pearl that the Ghost King has been absorbing the essence of the moon for tens of thousands of years. After tens of thousands of years, the Ghost King slowly condensed the essence of the moon. It contains the essence of the Ghost King's soul, and it can be used to combine with several secret arts to heal an injured soul. "My family's senior has already successfully passed his tribulation. As long as his soul is healed, he will become a Grand Ascension cultivator! "This is an extremely important matter to my Shui family, as well as the entire Xuantian Dao Sect. Do you understand? "
"This junior understands!" SongZhong nodded.
He naturally knew what a Grand Ascension expert meant. There were only a few people on that level in the entire Xuantian Dao Sect. Among the Four Great Families, only three of them had such masters. The Shui Family was the only one without a Dacheng Stage master. Since the death of their family's Dacheng Stage master two thousand years ago, they had entered an era without a Dacheng Stage master. Because of this, their position in the Xuantian Dao Sect had been threatened. Although they could rely on their family's power to temporarily maintain their position, without a Grand Ascension expert for a long time, their family's foundation would be shaken.
And now, they had finally obtained a Grand Ascension expert, but he had met with an accident at the last moment. If he couldn't be healed, who knew how many years it would take for the next Grand Ascension expert to appear? During this time, the Shui family might gradually decline. So the entire Shui family was anxious, and they did their best to find a way to heal him. In the end, they found a method to use the Moonlight Pearl to heal an injured soul in the sect. This caused the Shui family to rejoice, but it also created a new problem!
That was because the Moonlight Pearl was too difficult to find. First of all, it required a Ghost King to continuously absorb the power of the moon for tens of thousands of years to form. A Ghost King was already rare, and a place where they could peacefully grow for tens of thousands of years was even rarer.
Furthermore, not all Ghost Kings knew how to create Moonlight Pearls. The majority of Ghost Kings preferred to use slaughter to refine their magic treasures. That was because it was faster and more powerful. Although the Moonlight Pearl's power wasn't bad, it required tens of thousands of years of continuous cultivation. It was a test of patience.
Finally, there was another point that made the Moonlight Pearl so rare. Once it left the Ghost King's body, it would slowly dissipate. At most, it would take a hundred years for it to completely disappear. No matter what method was used, it couldn't be stopped. So it was practically impossible to preserve it. It could only be used quickly.
Because of this, the Moonlight Pearl had become an extremely rare item. Normally, people didn't need it, so they didn't care about it. But when they did need it, they didn't know where to find it.
After Shui Mengmeng finished explaining her difficulties, she said, "Now the problem is how to obtain the Moonlight Pearl. It just so happens that we have an extremely reliable piece of information!"
"What information?" asked Song Zhong curiously.
"In our world, there is a place called the Netherworld Ghost Region!" Shui Mengmeng said, "Have you heard of it?"
"No!" Song Zhong shook his head and said, "This disciple has just arrived. How would I know about this world?"
"Hehe, it's okay. I'll tell you!" Shui Mengmeng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this Netherworld Ghost Region is really amazing. Back then, it was a huge country with a population of more than a billion people!"
Next, Shui Mengmeng told Song Zhong the story of the Netherworld Ghost Region. It turned out that the place where the Netherworld Ghost Region was originally located was a giant country with a radius of a million miles. It was called the Great Zhou Country. Its last emperor was called Zhou Shaobo. He was extremely afraid of death, so he wanted to live forever.
Righteous cultivators naturally couldn't be bothered with such arrogant criminals. However, evil cultivators liked to use such wishful thinking fellows to do bad things. For some unknown reason, this Great Zhou Emperor actually obtained an extraordinary demonic treasure from the hands of those evil cultivators.
Under the urging of several evil cultivators, he actually went crazy and used his entire country's more than a billion people as a sacrifice. As a result, the entire country became a ghost region, which was later known as the Netherworld Ghost Region. And he himself used that demonic treasure to absorb the souls of his people and in one fell swoop, he became a Ghost King who cultivated for ten thousand years.
Zhou Shaobo's actions naturally angered those righteous cultivators. They all used the banner of eliminating evil and defending the Dao to enter the Netherworld Ghost Region, wanting to kill this damned emperor.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Shaobo was extremely shrewd. He knew that two fists were no match for four hands, so he usually hid. The large group of cultivators searched inside but they couldn't find him. After all, the Netherworld Ghost Region was a million miles wide. He had already become a ghost body. If he randomly found an underground place and burrowed several thousand feet deep, who would be able to find him?
In a place like the Netherworld Ghost Region, there was no light all year round. Everywhere was filled with ghost qi. If one stayed there for a long time, even a living person could become a ghost. As for the billions of mortals who had died, they had all become ghosts who had died unjustly. They had devoured each other, giving birth to many powerful ghosts. Since there were many cultivators, they naturally could exterminate them. But after a long time, the cultivators couldn't hold on and could only retreat.
After the large group of cultivators left, the remaining cultivators became the prey of the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo. This guy was timid by nature and was most afraid of death. So he was extremely shameless. He never fought with experts and only bullied the younger generation. When experts came, he would hide. When he saw the younger generation alone, he would kill them.
The righteous cultivators continuously tried to encircle and annihilate him several times. In the end, because they couldn't find him, they had no choice but to retreat. Then they simply didn't let their disciples enter and let Zhou Shaobo do whatever he wanted in the Netherworld Ghost Region.
After becoming the ten thousand year Ghost King, Zhou Shaobo had the strength of a late Nascent Soul stage. Now, tens of thousands of years had passed. Every day, he absorbed the essence of moonlight and cultivated. He had already reached the Great Circle of the Spirit Severing stage and could advance to the Void Training stage at any time.
However, although the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo's strength had increased, his courage was still so small. Because of the special environment in the Netherworld Ghost Region, some Yin attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures would be produced. So from time to time, cultivators would enter to search.
As long as these cultivators reached the Spirit Severing stage, they would never encounter the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo. And those below the Nascent Soul stage were likely to be killed by his sneak attack. Therefore, the Netherworld Ghost Region was generally a place where only Spirit Severing experts dared to go. And the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo was also known as the most timid Ghost King in history.
But no matter what, Zhou Shaobo had lived for tens of thousands of years. If he was not timid and casually fought with cultivators of the same level, I'm afraid he would have died many times. From this point of view, Zhou Shaobo's cowardice was very successful.
However, his cowardice made those who had ideas about him very depressed. For example, Shui Hazy. Although he had the strength of a Void Refinement stage cultivator, he was completely capable of killing the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo in the Netherworld Ghost Region. Unfortunately, he could not find him, so he could only be at his wit's end.
And the Moonlight Orb on Zhou Shaobo's body was something Shui Hazy was determined to obtain. So in desperation, he thought of Song Zhong. Since Song Zhong could defeat two Spirit Severing cultivators and capture one alive, then he might really be able to kill the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo and obtain the Moonlight Orb. Because he was only a Jin Dan Elixir, Zhou Shaobo would definitely not be afraid of him. As long as Song Zhong appeared in the depths of the Netherworld Ghost Region, the ten thousand year Ghost King who had not absorbed the Yang qi of cultivators for a long time would definitely not let him go.
After listening to Shui Hazy's words, Song Zhong finally knew the reason why he looked for him. He actually wanted him to hunt down the ten thousand year Ghost King!
At that time, Song Zhong wanted to refuse. Because he knew that this ten thousand year Ghost King was not to be trifled with. His earth-shattering magic power was many times higher than Scholar Ecstasy. After all, one was in the middle stage of the Spirit Severing stage, while the other was in the great circle of the Spirit Severing stage. They were not on the same level.
In addition, the ten thousand year Ghost King, as the name suggests, was a ghost. In other places, his fighting strength would decrease, but in the Netherworld Ghost Region, it was definitely his main battlefield. His fighting strength would increase by many times. Moreover, he had a terrifying demonic treasure in his hands. It could turn millions of miles of land into the Netherworld Ghost Region and kill billions of people in one fell swoop. With such a powerful power, who would not be afraid?
Moreover, the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo had always only killed rookies, so he never had any survivors in his hands, only corpses. In this way, people were completely clueless about the depth of his strength, magic treasures, and skills. This kind of enemy that they did not understand at all was actually the most terrifying.
Therefore, Song Zhong was not willing to get involved in this muddy water. Obtaining the Moonlight Orb was just to make the Shui family feel grateful. This gratitude, to him, was just icing on the cake. It did not matter if he did not have it. However, once he messed up their matters, he would become their sinner. Who knew how much they would blame him? Moreover, Song Zhong did not have the confidence to defeat the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo. If he did not get the orb and lost his life first, Song Zhong would not even have time to cry!
However, Shui Mengmeng and the two Spirit Severing Stage cultivators looked at Song Zhong expectantly. If he dared to directly refuse, he was afraid that the other party would fall out with him on the spot.
Therefore, Song Zhong hesitated for a moment, and could only tactfully say, "Senior, to tell you the truth, the reason why I was able to defeat the Spirit Severing Stage cultivators was because of a large magic treasure, the Golden Dragon Boat. When that thing is used directly, its power is indeed endless. However, the problem is, as long as it appears, according to the timid character of the ten thousand year Ghost King Zhou Shaobo, he would almost certainly cover his head and run away. With his strength at the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage, his speed is definitely more than ten thousand. Even if you beat me to death, I would not be able to catch up. "
"It's more than ten thousand!" Shui Mengmeng solemnly said, "There are cultivators who occasionally saw the ten thousand year Ghost King. It is said that this guy's speed has reached fifteen thousand!"
"Then there's nothing I can do!" Song Zhong shrugged and said, "My speed is only five thousand. The Golden Dragon Boat is slightly faster, but it is only eight thousand. There's no way I can catch up!"
"Can't you think of another way?" Shui Mengmeng frowned and said.
"There's really no other way. Unless Zhou Shaobo and the Golden Dragon Boat fight head-on!" Song Zhong shrugged helplessly and said, "Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to take him down!"
"Can't you use your ultimate attack the moment you appear?" A female cultivator said anxiously, "Catch him off guard! Try to kill him on the spot! "
"Senior!" Song Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Although my Golden Dragon Boat has a few ultimate attacks, it needs time to use them. This little bit of time is enough for the ten thousand year Ghost King to escape! Unless ~ "
"Unless what?" Shui Mengmeng asked anxiously.
"Unless there's a way to trap him for a little bit of time. I don't need too much time. One breath is enough!" Song Zhong said, "As long as I have this little bit of time, I can use my ultimate attack and cut him into two!"
"I see!" Shui Mengmeng frowned and said, "The ten thousand year Ghost King is a spirit body. It has no shape and no substance. When it floats, it's like a puff of green smoke. It's very hard to trap him. Plus, he's at the peak of the Spirit Severing stage and the Nether Spirit's buff. It's even harder to deal with him. It's not easy to trap him for a breath's time. Normal treasures can't be used. Unless! "
Speaking of this, Shui Mengmeng looked at a beautiful female cultivator beside her.
That female cultivator's face froze. Then, she said with a frown, "Uncle, don't tell me you're interested in my Icy Water Spirit?"
"Other than this, what else can trap the ten thousand year Ghost King?" Shui Mengmeng said helplessly, "For the sake of the family, you'll have to suffer this once. Give the Icy Water Spirit to Song Zhong!"
That beautiful female cultivator did not say anything. However, her face was filled with reluctance. It was obvious that she was heartbroken.
When Song Zhong saw this, although he did not know what the Icy Water Spirit was, he guessed that it must be something incredible. He was not willing to take away someone's treasure. Therefore, he hurriedly said, "Senior, you don't have to give it to me. I just need to borrow it temporarily. When I return, I promise to return it to you! "
"Sigh!" Hearing this, Shui Mengmeng sighed and said, "I also want to lend it to you. Unfortunately, I can't. This Icy Water Spirit is more special. It's a spiritual object formed from the Thousand Miles Black Water Sea. It's now in an ignorant stage and will soon evolve into intelligence. When that time comes, you can subdue it and have a super spiritual treasure, comparable to the Divine Ice Soul Sword of the Jade Pearl Dao Sect. And if you want to use it, you must first become its master. You also know that once this spiritual object recognizes a master, unless you die, it will definitely not betray you! "
Song Zhong did not expect it to be like this. At that time, he was taken aback. Then, he was overjoyed. Because according to Shui Mengmeng, this Icy Water Spirit was clearly a spiritual object formed from the Thousand Miles Black Water Sea, just like how the Divine Ice Soul Sword was formed from the Thousand Miles Black Water Sea.
However, when the Divine Ice Soul Sword was formed from the glacier, it was still an ordinary object. But this Icy Water Spirit's black water was the essence of water. A drop of it weighed a hundred pounds and was a material used to refine the black water lightning. It could be considered a higher level spiritual object. The difference in the foundation would inevitably lead to the difference in the spiritual object formed. Therefore, the power of this Icy Water Spirit in the future would most likely be above the Divine Ice Soul Sword.
Generally speaking, no one would be willing to give away such a treasure. When that female cultivator obtained it by chance, she was extremely excited. Every day, she carefully took care of it, afraid that she would break it. Only when it developed intelligence, she would turn it into her life source treasure. At that time, her strength would definitely increase greatly.
But she did not expect such a thing to happen at the last moment. Although the Icy Water Spirit was precious, but in comparison, the safety of her elders was obviously more important!
Without the Icy Water Spirit, she could still find other spiritual treasures in the future. Even if it was inferior, she could use quantity to make up for it. But without the support of the Dacheng realm elders, the whole family could be shaken. At that time, even if she had the Icy Water Spirit, she was afraid that it would only bring disaster to herself.
As a cultivator who had lived for thousands of years, such an obvious thing did not need to be said. She could see it. Therefore, Shui Mengmeng was not in a hurry to persuade her. She just glanced at her a few times. She helplessly took out a ball of clear water and placed it on the table. Then, with a sobbing tone, she said, "I'll give you the Icy Water Spirit, consider it as the reward for this time! If you can't get the Moonlight Orb, I will kill you!
