Upon hearing Ye Kong's question, Xiong Xianqi immediately said angrily, "Friend Ye, you're looking down on us, the Six Tigers of the Cloud! Our leader and second leader were injured by the Sword Fiend God and are still recuperating. We were also chased out of the Northern Sword Divine Kingdom by him. How could we acknowledge the enemy as our father and earn those ten star rock crystals? "
Ye Kong did not know about these things, hence his suspicions. Now that he heard Xiong Xianqi's words, he was completely relieved.
"I didn't expect the leaders to have enmity with the Sword Fiend God. Actually, Ye and the Sword Fiend God have a deep grudge. We're all on the same side now. It was Ye who spoke rashly just now. Sorry for the embarrassment. "
Xiong Xianqi was very satisfied with Ye Kong's apology. He then smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's just that the money that we owe you …"
So that was what he was concerned about. Ye Kong's purpose in getting them to write the IOUs was to stop them from coming again. He had never intended for them to return the money. However, the Six Tigers of the Cloud did not take it seriously. Speaking of which, Ye Kong was already so capable as a Central True God. In the future, it would not be long before he became an expert!
If Ye Kong came again with the IOUs, where could the Six Tigers of the Cloud find so many star rock crystals?
Therefore, Xiong Xianqi's purpose was to express his goodwill to Ye Kong and also to reduce the amount of money he owed.
Ye Kong understood his purpose and laughed heartily. "Actually, Ye does not lack money. Perhaps you've asked about my background. I've never lacked money since I came from the Dong Sheng Divine Kingdom!"
Xiong Xianqi said, "Yes, yes, yes. You're a big shot. The people you deal with are all famous immortals. How could you lack things like divine crystals and star rock crystals?"
Ye Kong nodded. "Actually, it's alright to give you the IOUs. It's just that …"
Xiong Xianqi was overjoyed. He had only wanted to reduce the amount by half. He did not expect the other party to be so straightforward! He quickly said, "Friend Ye, please let me know if you have any requests!"
Ye Kong said, "Recently, I've been refining a formation, and I need some Godhoods …"
Before Ye Kong could finish, Xiong Xianqi asked, "How about the Lower and Middle Gods?"
Ye Kong said, "Low-level ones are fine."
Xiong Xianqi immediately laughed and said, "Friend Ye, this is not a problem. We have a lot of them."
It turned out that these Cloud Bandits weren't doing proper business in the Cloud Sea. They killed people like flies, so they naturally had a lot of godhoods in their hands! However, the ones they killed were all middle and lower grade True Gods, so their godheads were relatively low grade.
Hearing this, Ye Kong was also very happy. He might as well be generous for once, and threw the IOU jade letter to Xiong Xianqi. Immediately, Xiong Xianqi hurriedly rushed back to the stronghold to retrieve his Divine Deity.
As for Hu Yunfeng and Zhang Chunfeng, they had also come to inform Ye Kong. Seeing that they were poor, Ye Kong threw a Starrock Crystal at them. Such a large sum shocked the two of them. One had to know that it took them a few years to obtain a single Starrock Crystal with hundreds of God Servants and immortals.
Thus, Hu Yunfeng and the rest did not dare to accept it and hurriedly refused.
Ye Kong did not like to drag things around. Seeing that they really did not want it, he nodded and said, "If you need any help in the future, you can look for Ye."
Hu Yunfeng hurriedly said, "We only want to become disciples of Sword God and Sword Buddha God."
Ye Kong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If you want to go to Craftsman God Domain to become a disciple of some craftsman god, I can still help you. As for Sword God, I can't help you."
Hearing this, Zhang Chunfeng felt some regret. If he had known earlier, he would have accepted the Starrock Crystal. However, since things had come to this, they were too embarrassed to accept it. The two bade farewell and left.
After they left, Ye Kong pondered for a moment. It would be better for him to go to White Sword City and use Feng Qi to exchange for the Demonic God. Of course, before that, he still had to refine the Golden Cloud Ghost. This trip to Northern Sword Divine Kingdom would definitely not be smooth sailing!
As for the safety of the Demonic God, Ye Kong was not worried. As long as Yu Fengqi did not die, White Sword City would not dare to do anything to the Demonic God.
After waiting for some time, Xiong Xianqi returned with the god sparks. Although they were all trash god sparks and there were only a few True Gods in the central region, trash was still trash. There was a lot of them! There were actually over a hundred of them!
"Thank you all. Actually, Ye used to be a street thug in the Mortal Realm and an immortal bandit in the Immortal World. I can understand your situation. In the future, when I go to Northern Sword Divine Kingdom, I will do my best to help all of you."
When Ye Kong returned to Northern Sword Divine Kingdom, he might be able to use these cloud bandits. If there was anything that could help the Six Tigers in the Cloud, Ye Kong would also lend a hand. However, Ye Kong would not give them the refining method of the Cloud Ghost. After all, they were all robbers and innocent merchants. Ye Kong could not help the evildoers.
After Xiong Xianqi left, Ye Kong once again entered seclusion.
Although the hundred god sparks were all trash god sparks, it still took time to devour them. In the blink of an eye, another ten months had passed.
On this day, in the Blood Lake Territory.
Immortals were busy. They used simple tools to extract the water from the Blood Lake. After a preliminary refinement and concentration, they gathered it together and used specialized tools to boil it into a red paste.
When the time came, the True Gods would bring the paste into the array and refine it into Blood Gold. Then, they would cut it into pieces and store it.
The last step of the refining process was kept secret. It was said that outsiders could not refine it. If the extracted Blood Gold was not of good quality, the refining of the divine pills would be affected.
Hu Yunfeng and Zhang Chunfeng's clans were not the only ones in the Blood Lake Territory. There were a total of thirty-six clans, and they divided up the surrounding land. Everyone lived in peace.
However, on this day, just as everyone was busy extracting and refining the Blood Gold, the Blood Lake, which had been quiet all this while, started to stir slightly.
"The Blood Lake is shaking!" The True Gods of the clans were shocked when they heard the news.
Hu Yunfeng and Zhang Chunfeng, who were in the stone house, received the report from their subordinates. They were also shocked and ran out of the room.
Hu Yunfeng looked into the depths of the Blood Lake, his eyes filled with worry.
Zhang Chunfeng frowned and said, "I heard that the beast of the Blood Lake hasn't woken up for many years. Every time it wakes up, it must cause a huge massacre. Otherwise, it will not rest, and the people here will never be able to harvest the Blood Gold!"
Hu Yunfeng said, "That's right! We originally wanted to earn some star rock crystals here. If the beast wakes up in the Northern Sword Divine Kingdom, all our plans will be for naught! "
Zhang Chunfeng scolded, "Which clan is it? Why did they go to the center of the Blood Lake to awaken the Divine Beast? Damn it! "
Hu Yunfeng was also puzzled. The people here had a tacit understanding. Not only would they not go to the center of the Blood Lake to harvest the Blood Gold, but they would also not fly over the Blood Lake. They were afraid that they would awaken the Blood Lake Divine Beast and ruin their livelihood!
"I hope it's not true …"
Just as they were secretly hoping for a miracle, they heard a loud roar from the center of the Blood Lake. "Roar!" This roar lasted for a long time. As it roared, thick black clouds appeared in the sky above the center of the lake of blood. Countless bolts of lightning flashed through the clouds, and the sky darkened!
"This is the sign of the Divine Beast coming out of seclusion. It's really awake this time!" Hu Yunfeng looked at the sky, his eyes filled with despair. The Divine Beast would wake up for many years, and their business of harvesting the Blood Gold would come to an end.
Zhang Chunfeng gritted his teeth and cursed, "If I find out who woke this thing up, I'll definitely kill him!"
At this moment, the Gods of the various clans in the Blood Lake Territory hurriedly withdrew their Immortals and flew to the edge of the sea of clouds to observe the Blood Lake. If the Divine Beast attacked them, they could enter the sea of clouds without any danger.
Hu Yunfeng and Zhang Chunfeng were also floating in the air. Looking at the darkening sky and the blood lake with towering waves, Hu Yunfeng's eyes flickered, and he exclaimed, "Oh no! Brother, we forgot to inform Fellow Daoist Ye!"
