(Supplemental October, Monthly Pass Four Thousand Nine Thousand Plus Updates)
He didn't want to trouble the people of the Subjugation Crusade, but the storage ring that was taken from him contained something extremely important to him. Money was secondary. There wasn't much in the storage ring. Last time, when he went to the outside world, he shared most of his belongings with the two girls in order to give Qian'Er and the others a way out.
He had used up all the Basic Immortal Pills, but the Vitality Sect's Core Reinforcement Pills were still inside. However, Core Reinforcement Pills weren't that rare. More importantly, there were a few other treasures inside, such as the Nine-eared Demon-Subduing Pestle and the Water Cloud Pearl.
But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that there were still fifteen praying mantises in the storage ring. He had brought them to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to protect himself. Who knew that Head Steward Qiu would kill them before he even had the chance to use them? However, even if he didn't, he wouldn't dare to use the praying mantises against a Golden Lotus cultivator. The praying mantises weren't strong enough to fight against a Golden Lotus cultivator yet. Using them would just be sending them to their deaths.
The praying mantises weren't the most important. The most important thing was the worthless' Star Bell '. More importantly, the Star Bell with the Sorcerer's seal imprinted on it was given to him by the Sorcerer. That was something he could use to maintain contact with the Sorcerer. He couldn't lose that thing. Where would he find the Sorcerer if he lost it? That Sorcerer was nowhere to be found. If he couldn't get in touch with him, it would be the same as cutting off his path to the outside world.
He couldn't lose something so important. As long as he could get it back, he would do anything.
Back at the sandcastle, in order to get his storage ring back, Miao Yi had thought of using the Four Masters of the Sea of Constellations. Since the storage ring contained the tokens of the four Masters, he figured that it shouldn't be too much of a problem to use the Four Masters to get his storage ring back.
However, if he used the Four Constellations Masters, then his relationship with the Four Constellations Masters would be exposed.
However, judging from the situation, only the Four Constellations Masters could help him get his things back. He couldn't ask the Six Sages.
He was a little worried if he had to rely on Yan Beihong alone. At the Golden Lotus realm, the difference between each level was the result of hundreds of billions of Orbs of Will. This meant that there was a huge difference in strength between each level. It wasn't something that could be compared to the difference between the previous levels. Once the difference reached a certain point, there would definitely be a qualitative change.
The difference between the Blue and Red Lotus realms was like a divide. Breaking through to the Red Lotus realm would require a qualitative change. The difference between the Violet Lotus and Golden Lotus was yet another dividing line, another qualitative change. This realm was known as Soaring Heavens!
Yan Beihong had only just broken through to the First Grade of Golden Lotus, while the Duo Xiong'er were already at the Third Grade of Golden Lotus. The gap between them was not like the gap between White One and White Three, or Red One and Red Three. Miao Yi didn't want to go there and be humiliated by the two Mighty Ones again. If he were to go this time, he would have to be extremely confident. Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to embarrass both of them, and he might even lose his life.
Since he had to expose his relationship with the Four Masters of the Sea of Constellations no matter what, Then there was nothing more to say. This was forcing him to make a big deal out of this! Forget it, I'll let him keep the storage ring for now. There's no rush. I'll take the opportunity to settle the debt with interest later. It won't be too late to take it back then.
"Lord Fu Qing invites you in!" The guard who had reported back invited them in, but when he looked at Yan Beihong, he added, "The other one, please wait outside. Lord Fu Qing does not welcome unrelated people."
"Hmm?" Yan Beihong immediately made a questioning sound through his nostrils. He tilted his head to look at the source of the voice, and an unfriendly look appeared in his eyes.
"Big Brother Yan, then please wait outside for a moment!" Miao Yi quickly comforted him. He didn't want to get into a fight with Fu Qing over such a small matter.
Since Miao Yi had already put it that way, Yan Beihong didn't say anything else. He nodded, then placed his hands behind his back and turned around, walking over to the edge of the cliff to enjoy the scenery.
On the other hand, Miao Yi strode into the palace. When he arrived at the plaza inside, the person leading the way extended his hand, gesturing for him to stop in his tracks. On the steps of the ancient palace at the end of the plaza, Qing Fengqing, the Right Emissary, was still standing there expressionlessly, dressed in green robes.
Miao Yi immediately crossed the distance between the plaza and landed on the steps. He cupped his fists and smiled, "Right Emissary Qing. We meet again? "
Qing Feng looked at him up and down in astonishment. There was an unconcealable astonishment in his eyes. Obviously, he was wondering how the Great Palace Master Miao had become so miserable. However, he didn't say much. He turned around and led Miao Yi into the grand hall through the crack in the door.
Fu Qing was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. As usual, Qing Feng walked to stand behind him.
"Miao Yi greets Senior." Miao Yi politely bowed.
"You're preparing to …" As he spoke, Fu Qing opened his eyes and pinched his neck. He looked Miao Yi up and down, and was instantly amused. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Oh! Weren't you supposed to be quite the badass brat? Who beat you up to this state? "
"Sigh!" Miao Yi let out a long sigh and said, "I was indeed beaten up. And I'm pretty badly injured too. " "Both my arms were broken by someone. I can't even lift my arms without the support of my transcendence energy. My ribs are still broken, and my internal injuries are still lingering. I'm really lucky to be able to come back alive to see Senior."
Fu Qing stood up and circled around Miao Yi. He placed his hand on Miao Yi's shoulder and invoked his transcendence energy to examine it. Realizing that Miao Yi's injuries were indeed as he had described, he asked curiously, "You came to see me in such a pitiful state, but you didn't even bother to treat your injuries. Are you trying to act pitiful so that these old bones of mine can get justice for you?"
"Acting pitiful?" Miao Yi laughed. He took out his ten fingers from his sleeves and flicked them for Fu Qing to see. The storage rings on his fingers were gone. "It's not like I had nothing better to do. Why would I suffer like this? It's just that all my belongings were stolen. Even if I wanted to treat my injuries, I would need some miraculous medicine. What am I supposed to use to treat my injuries? I can only wait and slowly recover. "
"So pitiful?" Fu Qing chuckled as he turned to look at Qing Feng. He seemed to be rejoicing in Miao Yi's misfortune.
"Senior, don't take pleasure in my misfortune. If it weren't for the Four Hosts of the Sea of Constellations, we wouldn't have to suffer so much."
"Oh!" Fu Qing placed his hands behind his back and smiled. "We brothers have been hiding in the Sea of Constellations like cowards. How have we implicated you? If you want me to stand up for you, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush. "
"Senior, don't tease me. You guys really have no choice but to stand up for me. If it weren't for the tokens of your four Hosts, I wouldn't be in such a pitiful state. If it weren't for those stupid tokens of yours, I would have gotten someone to help me get my belongings back. In the end, because your tokens were in my belongings, not only did they refuse to return my belongings, they even beat me up to this state. They even took away all the supplementary herbs I had painstakingly gathered to refine the Basic Immortal Pills. Senior, you have to admit that you've been hiding in the Sea of Constellations like a coward. It doesn't matter if you guys snatch your tokens. In any case, I've learned my lesson this time. Those four tokens are only useful in the Sea of Constellations. Showing them off in the outside world is akin to courting death. I almost lost my life because of them. It doesn't matter if I can get them back or not. After all, they're just a few pieces of broken bones carved into some flowers. They can't scare anyone. Senior, you have to think this through. Once the Basic Immortal Pills are refined, I will only take thirty percent of the profits. You guys will take seventy percent of the profits. Your losses are greater than mine. It would be rude if you guys didn't do anything. "Miao Yi complained.
'A few pieces of broken bones carved into some flowers?' Fu Qing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He could mock himself for hiding in the Sea of Constellations like a coward, but that didn't mean others could say the same!
Qing Feng remained expressionless, but the muscles on his cheeks were visibly tensed up. He simply asked, "Who took them?"
Miao Yi sighed, "Someone whose strength is second only to the Six Sages in the cultivation realm. They're about as strong as you guys, right? The Duo of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea!"
Qing Feng's eyes instantly turned fierce. Fu Qing took a deep breath. His blue brows trembled violently, and he slowly closed his eyes. "Did Huang Qingtian and Wu Duo do it?"
Miao Yi shook his head. "You can't just say things like that. After I was captured by the Sand Castle's Head Steward, Qiu Li, only Huang Qingtian showed up to deal with me. Wu Duo didn't show up."
Fu Qing's eyes were still closed as he asked. Miao Yi couldn't tell what he was feeling. "Why did you come to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to fight against Huang Qingtian and the others?"
Miao Yi smiled bitterly. "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you, Senior. There's an ingredient in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea that's necessary for refining the Basic Immortal Pill. However, it's not a good idea to gather it openly, as I'm afraid that it would alarm the Six Sages. So, I secretly took control of the Hive Gang, a group of desert bandits in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, and had them help me search for that spiritual herb in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. As luck would have it, the assassin organization Peony had recently taken a liking to the Hive Gang, and they wanted to secretly take control of them as well. They kidnapped the leader of the Hive Gang, Cheng Yaowei, and used him as a hostage. Naturally, I couldn't just stand by and watch. In the end, the two of them ended up fighting in Tempest Tavern … "
Fu Qing opened his eyes and interrupted, "Wait! You fought in Tempest Tavern? "
"I know, right? We were fighting for the Basic Immortal Pill, and Peony forced us into a corner! In the end, we angered the Lady Boss of the tavern, and she asked the people from the sand castle to come out and capture us. Damn it! Who knew that Huang Qingtian would side with Peony, and wanted to punish us? Luckily, I'm not a pushover either. I asked the Celestial Nation Chamber of Commerce's manager, An Zhengfeng, to help out. Initially, I thought that out of respect for Manager An, the most I could do was apologize to Tempest Tavern with a generous gift and save their reputation. However, despite all my calculations, I forgot that I still had the tokens of the four of you in my storage ring. That's how I ended up like this. My storage ring was confiscated by them, and even my Hive Gang was captured by Huang Qingtian. Luckily, An Zhengfeng was there, and I was lucky enough to escape with my life. "Miao Yi smiled bitterly.
Qing Feng, who had always been serious, suddenly sneered, "Huang Qingtian and Wu Duo are really impressive!"
Fu Qing lowered his eyes and asked calmly like a piece of rotten wood, "You didn't tell Huang Qingtian that the four tokens belong to us?"
"I really didn't. If I didn't tell him, I'd already become like this after seeing your tokens. Would I still be alive if I told him? With so many people watching, they would think that I was using you to pressure them. What if I used my life to establish my dominance? Who am I supposed to ask for justice after I die? " As he said this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Surely they know that those four tokens belong to you? Those four tokens can project the images of the four hosts. How could they not recognize them? "
Fu Qing continued calmly, "Kid, are you sure you didn't lie to us about the tokens?"
