Because the Essence Tears could not be stored for a long time, almost all the forces wanted to make peace. The demon race had established a direct supply and demand relationship. It was not that they could not buy it from others, but the high price was an inconvenience. Secondly, most people would not keep it with them. An item that could only be kept for three years was too short for cultivators. If they were not careful, they would lose it in their hands. The clan would directly purchase it.
As the sole supplier? The human race was naturally more arrogant. Other than the officials of the Heavenly Court and some major powers, they really wouldn't pay attention to ordinary people. The market price was basically just a decoration. It was only targeted at the aforementioned specific people. Because when facing these people? The humans did not want to stir up trouble. As for the others? If the race wanted to sell it, they would sell it. If they didn't want to sell it, they wouldn't sell it. The price was high and low, it was simply maddening. If it wasn't for the fact that the celestial heavens had suppressed the entire race here and restricted their freedom, their tails would probably be in the sky.
Of course, it was precisely because of the chaos that the external forces wanted to make peace. Establishing a stable purchasing relationship with the human race? What does it mean to establish a stable purchasing relationship? Naturally, he had to make peace with them. He had to build good relationships with people who had some power within the clan.
This was the reason why Xu Tangran had come here. It was also because of Yun Zhiqiu's instructions that he had come here personally.
To Miao Yi, peace? It was necessary to have a good relationship with the clan. He might need a lot of Tears of Essence at any time.
As they approached the planet in front of them, the group of people took out pieces of emerald green leaves and placed them in their mouths. Instantly, a refreshing fragrance seeped into their lungs. This item was called 'Heart Green' and was used to detoxify poison. This planet was filled with a very strange miasma. Protective arcane shields could only withstand it for a short period of time. Over a long period of time, they would not be able to do so. The miasma here could penetrate the protective arcane shields. Once infected by the miasma, one's flesh and blood would turn into wood, turning into something similar to a wooden statue.
Right? To the human race, they were not afraid of the poisonous miasma here. The thicker the miasma, the more they enjoyed it. To the outsiders, the 'green heart' was the only antidote. In the hands of the humans? If the clan sells it, it's tantamount to all the people who come and go to the Ghost Market here. It was normal for the clan to pay a toll.
However, no one was forcing them. If they wanted to buy it, they could choose not to buy it. If they had the ability, they could carry it themselves. No one was forcing them.
The group quickly broke through the air barrier and faced the dark clouds that were filled with electric arcs. Surging transcendence energy swept out and dispersed the dark clouds.
The sun shone down like a brilliant pillar of light, instantly illuminating the land below. The land was a little strange. The entire land seemed to be wrapped in a crisscrossed net. From the sky, it looked like it was wrapped in cotton.
When the hundreds of people who descended from the sky landed on the 'catkins', they realized that the catkins looked like catkins from afar, but upon closer inspection, they realized that the catkins they landed on were as thick as tree trunks. The bigger ones were so big that more than ten people could not even wrap their arms around them, while the smaller ones were as big as an adult's body. In fact, this was a tree trunk, a type of tree known as the 'Uncanny'. However, no one knew where the top of this tree was, nor did they know which tree's roots belonged to. A tree's trunk meandered to an unknown place. It was said that no one knew how long the trunk was. As the trunk meandered, it would grow roots into the ground. The cracked bark on the trunk was covered with moss, and no leaves could be seen. It seemed that only the trunk had no leaves. In fact, the 'Heart Green' was produced from this kind of tree.
Xu Tangran and the others who landed on the cage-like trunk smelled a stench. The stench came from the trunk, which was also the source of the poisonous miasma on this planet. Fortunately, they had the 'Heart Green' in their mouths to dispel the stench. Otherwise, they would have fainted from the stench.
The pillar of light that broke through the dark clouds above their heads was still there. The dark clouds had not completely closed up. The newcomers were all looking around this strange world. Xu Tangran had been traveling around for years and could be considered to have seen many things, but it was the first time he had seen such a strange planet. Although he had heard of its name for a long time.
From time to time, the dark clouds would break through, revealing the pillars of light that penetrated through. They were the people who came and went.
More than a hundred people quickly spread out and guarded the surroundings, protecting Xu Tangran's safety.
Xu Tangran, who was enjoying the view, suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at the trunk at the side. As a result, the sharp blade only sank halfway into the tree, and green juice came out. The stench became stronger. It really confirmed the legend that this Sly Tree was very tough. Xu Tangran pulled back his sword and saw that the injured part of the trunk was quickly wriggling and healing. Thus, he added mana and slashed down fiercely. Only then did he manage to cut the trunk in front of him.
The two sections of the tree shook after they were cut off, and the green juice oozing out of the cut quickly wriggled and elongated. They casually attached themselves to a tree trunk and quickly fused together. The two sections of the tree were like this, as if they had never been cut off before. Only the fresh traces proved that something had happened.
Sword in hand, Xu Tangran clicked his tongue and said, "The rumors are true. This Sly Tree is really tough and can regenerate quickly." He turned around and asked, "Didn't they say that the green heart comes from this Sly Tree? Why is it gone?"
Another Lotus Transformation Expert named Duan Yunbiao laughed and said, "The green heart doesn't grow randomly. It only grows at the main root of the Sly Tree. It grows on the roots and stems. We can't see it from where we are. The green heart can be sold for money, so it's only natural that there's a place where it grows. It's guarded by the clan, so it's hard for outsiders to get close. "
Xu Tangran looked down at his feet. Along the way, he didn't know how many tree trunks were intertwining with each other. Due to these obstructions, he couldn't see the ground at all. He used his transcendence energy to explore more than five thousand feet before he could detect the ground.
The circle of light around him was gradually shrinking. Looking up, the dark clouds in the sky were about to close up.
Retracting his gaze, Xu Tangran asked, "Didn't they say to make peace? Have you contacted the people from the clan? Where's the contact person? "
Yuan Gongzheng looked around and said to Duan Yunbiao, "I'll have to trouble Brother Duan to verify again."
Duan Yunbiao nodded and waved his hand to signal the two people in the distance. They disappeared into the network of tree trunks below.
As they waited, the ball of light in the sky completely disappeared. Below them was a patch of darkness. The flashing electric snakes in the sky caused the entire world below to become dark and bright.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yuan Gongzheng looked at Xu Tangran, who was standing quietly with his hands behind his back. He suddenly laughed and asked, "Sir, you seem to be paying close attention to Domain Gengzi Commander Wang Zhuo recently!"
Xu Tangran turned back to look at him and nodded slightly, saying, "It's just following Lord Commander's orders."
Yuan Gongzheng said, "Wang Zhuo is Concubine Qin's father. Rumor has it that the Son of Heaven's demotion is related to Concubine Qin. Could it be that Lord Commander paying close attention to Wang Zhuo is related to the Heaven Valley Palace?"
Xu Tangran sighed, "Who knows? I hope nothing bad happens. Since Lord Commander has given the orders, let's keep an eye on them. "
Yuan Gongzheng nodded, "Of course, we …" He paused and suddenly turned around.
A slender brown beetle appeared out of nowhere. It was about the length of an arm and its body faintly glowed with a metallic luster. There was even moss growing on its carapace. It lay on the tree trunk and seemed to blend in with the surrounding tree trunks. Just like that, it suddenly shot towards them with a sharp thorn in its mouth.
Xu Tangran also tilted his head and saw it. He guessed that this was the so-called Mysterious Insect. It usually resided on the Sly Trees and sucked the sap of the Sly Trees to survive. Being stung by this thing was not much different from being poisoned by a poisonous miasma. It could paralyze a person, and if it was not treated in time, the person would also turn into wood.
This thing was similar to the mosquitoes in the forest. It was said that it was a delicacy that the Mysterious Insect Race loved.
He didn't have much time to think and didn't wait for Lord Yuan to make a move. A black scaled snake as thick as a water bucket suddenly shot out from the tree trunk like an arrow leaving the bow. It opened its bloody mouth with jagged teeth and flicked its bright red tongue. It directly wrapped around the strange insect and pulled it into its mouth. Its body twisted in the air and swallowed the strange insect into its stomach. Only then did it float in the air and land on the tree trunk. It climbed up the tree trunk and slowly slithered over to this side.
A few accompanying guards appeared and stared at them, ready to make a move. Yuan Gongzheng raised his hand to stop them.
The black scaled snake slithered over with its tongue out. There was a circle of golden lightning in each of its eyes, and there were two hairy, sawtooth ears on both sides of its head.
Xu Tangran guessed that this was the Mysterious Insect Race. The so-called Mysterious Insect Race was a type of snake. This type of snake was called the Mysterious Insect Race and was far more magical than normal snakes. Unlike normal snakes, they could only cultivate after they developed intelligence. The Mysterious Insect Race was able to transform into a human after reaching adulthood. Once they had some magic power, they were born with the ability to move clouds and summon rain. They compared themselves to dragons, which was why they called the place they resided in the Black Dragon Pool.
As expected, the glowing black scaled snake slithered over to the two of them. Its body wriggled and transformed into a woman with long hair that fell over her shoulders.
Her black and soft hair fluttered in the wind. Her figure was graceful and alluring. She was completely naked, and her full breasts were covered by black scales. There were also some scales on her forehead. She stood barefoot on the tree trunk, and the golden lightning in her eyes was still there. She could be considered a beauty.
"Where did you come from?" The Mysterious Insect Race woman asked calmly.
Yuan Gongzheng replied, "Just walking around and taking a look."
If this was a meeting, then it could be considered a match. The Mysterious Insect Race woman nodded and said, "I'll bring you guys to take a look." With that said, she jumped into the net of tree trunks below.
Yuan Gongzheng nodded at Xu Tangran and waved at the surrounding guards. A group of people immediately gathered and dove into the ground, searching for the Mysterious Insect Race woman. The Mysterious Insect Race woman's figure disappeared …
Gengzi Domain, the governor's residence. Needless to say, the place where the governor's residence was located was beautiful. How could the residence of the most powerful person in the domain be bad?
At this moment, it could be said that people were coming and going. It was a joyous occasion to celebrate Governor Wang Zhuo's promotion.
Wang Zhuo originally did not want to do this. He understood that it was not honorable to rely on his daughter's actions to get promoted. However, his subordinates had repeatedly expressed that they wanted to celebrate, and it was difficult for him to refuse. In addition, the Heavenly King's Residence had hinted that they could do this, so it had been delayed until now.
The Heavenly King's Residence had already secretly informed them that someone wanted to harm him. It was not a good thing to be too vigilant. Their intention was to deliberately find an opportunity for someone to make a move. To put it bluntly, it was a trap. The experts that the Heavenly King's Residence had secretly sent were already in place.
Wang Zhuo was secretly amused by this. He knew who the Heavenly King's Residence was waiting for, but he knew in his heart that they would not kill him because he was originally from that side.
The banquet had not started yet. Wang Zhuo was in the main hall receiving guests. Subordinates continuously came down to congratulate him, and the atmosphere was quite festive.
At this moment, someone suddenly reported, "My Lord, Netherworld Governor Niu Youde has come to congratulate you!"
