"Splash!" The starfish seemed to have noticed Jiang Fei and jumped back into the water. With a splash, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Fei walked to the shore and picked up the stone that had just fallen from the starfish's body. The energy wave that this stone emitted was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
"Pop …" Jiang Fei carefully opened the outer shell of the stone and revealed the gem inside.
In an instant, a pure spatial energy spread out. It was much stronger than the ones that Little Nine had eaten before!
"So that's how it is …" Jiang Fei nodded to himself. He had already understood what was going on.
These spatial crystals must have been the leftovers of the starfish after it absorbed the moonlight. When they were first thrown out, because the outer shell of the stone armor was very tightly sealed, there was very little energy leakage.
However, as time passed, the outer shell of the stone armor became more and more unsealed, causing the energy of the gems inside to leak out. As a result, although the energy emitted by the stones became stronger, the energy in the gems became less and less.
"No wonder the energy of the stones in the outer shell was stronger. But Little Nine ate so many! So I was looking for the wrong thing from the beginning! "Jiang Fei laughed.
"I don't know what that starfish is …" Qin Hao muttered to himself as he picked up the pebbles that had almost no energy reaction and returned to the cave where Little Nine was sleeping. Then, he carefully pried open the shells of these pebbles.
As expected, the gems inside the stones contained even more powerful energy. To prevent the energy from escaping, Jiang Fei stored all the gems in his Legacy Space.
"Now that I know the rules, things will be easier!" Jiang Fei was happy. He then sat in the cave and cultivated while waiting for Little Nine to wake up.
After more than a day, Little Nine finally digested the energy and woke up.
"Ah! What a comfortable sleep! "Little Jiu stretched his body.
"Did you sleep well?" Jiang Fei also opened his eyes.
"Yup!" Little Nine said happily.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the Gathering of Beasts and see how the collection of fantasy stones is going, "Jiang Fei said. If he could directly obtain fantasy stones, it would be much more convenient than letting Little Nine summon them.
"But those stones …" Little Nine was a little reluctant to leave the stones near the small lake.
"Don't worry, let's take them all!" Jiang Fei smiled as he walked to the lakeside. Then, he leaped into the air and with a wave of his hand, stored all the stones into the Legacy Space.
"Wow! Why are the stones all gone! "Little Nine exclaimed.
"It's okay. They're all here!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"Really?" Little Nine asked.
"Look!" Jiang Fei raised his hand and a pebble appeared in his hand.
"Wow!" Little Nine snatched the pebble, then quickly peeled off the stone, revealing the gem inside.
"Ah wu!" After swallowing the gem in one gulp, Little Nine revealed a satisfied expression.
"Alright, let's head back first!" Jiang Fei said as he pulled Little Nine up.
"Alright!" Little Nine nodded, then followed Jiang Fei back to the Thousand Beasts Gathering.
…
"Sir, you are back!" As soon as Jiang Fei arrived at the Thousand Beasts Gathering, Qi Meng came out to greet him.
"What's up?" Jiang Fei asked with a smile.
"Sir, these are the Fantasy Stones that you wanted!" Qi Meng had collected quite a lot of Fantasy Stones this time. In just a short while, he had obtained thirty Fantasy Stones for Jiang Fei.
"Mmm! Not bad! " Jiang Fei took the Fantasy Stones and said, "Alright, I've accepted the Fantasy Stones. What do you want? Tell me."
Jiang Fei had been around for so many years. What had he not seen? Therefore, when he saw Qi Meng's attitude, Jiang Fei knew that Qi Meng had something to ask of him.
"Hehe …" Qi Meng laughed awkwardly, then said to Jiang Fei, "Sir, can we talk in private?"
"Sure!" Jiang Fei nodded, then followed Qi Meng to a secluded place.
"Speak." Jiang Fei smiled.
"Sir … It's like this. About the incident two days ago …" Qi Meng was a little embarrassed. The incident with Huang Dabing two days ago was not a big deal, but it was quite embarrassing.
"It's okay. It's all in the past." Jiang Fei thought that Qi Meng was worried that he would hate him, so he said with a smile.
"My Lord, I'm just saying that this matter has really embarrassed me. I don't really want to stay in the Wanshou Gathering anymore. Could you please help me out and ask the Elders to give me another job …" Qi Meng said with an awkward smile.
"About that …" Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment. He really did not know anyone from the Elders.
"Sir, I won't let you work for nothing. In addition to continuing to help you collect illusion stones, I also want to offer you a cup of tea!" Qi Meng said as he took out an inner core from his bosom. This inner core exuded spatial attribute energy.
Obviously, before looking for Jiang Fei, Qi Meng had asked about Jiang Fei's preferences, so he specially prepared a gift for him.
"Hehe, you're really thoughtful!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"Hehe, sir, please accept it. Also, as for the money needed to open up a relationship, please feel free to ask for it!" Qi Meng was different from Ao Guang. Although they both guarded the Thousand Beasts Gathering, the Thousand Beasts Gathering in Zhenxing was very lucrative. It was not something other planets could compare to.
Therefore, Qi Meng's position could be said to be a lucrative one. However, everyone wanted to climb higher. Although guarding the Thousand Beasts Gathering in Zhenxing was quite lucrative, it was still a low-ranking job. Therefore, after Qi Meng had earned enough money, he could not help but think about it.
However, the fact that Qi Meng had been sent to guard the Thousand Beast Gathering meant that he didn't have anyone backing him. Although he wasn't as miserable as Ao Guang, he still wasn't a member of the Council of Elders. Now that he had encountered an upper-tier Imperial Dragon, Qi Meng began to plot against him.
"Hmm … Alright, I'll give it a try." Jiang Fei saw that Little Nine was staring at the Inner Pill. He shook his head and then agreed to let Qi Meng give it a try.
Although Jiang Fei did not have much interaction with the members of the Elder Council, he was fortunate enough to have met the Ninth Elder once when he helped Ao Guang. Since he was asking someone to deliver the gifts, it would be fine as long as he had a breakthrough. As for the others, he could ask the Ninth Elder to help him after he got through to him.
"Thank you, sir!" Qi Meng was overjoyed. Ever since he had money, he did not want to do this job anymore.
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded. At the same time, he had another idea. Although he did not have a deep relationship with Ao Guang, they were still acquaintances. If Qi Meng succeeded in getting promoted, Jiang Fei did not mind giving Ao Guang a push and asking the Ninth Elder to transfer him to Zhenxing to guard the Thousand Beasts Gathering.
Although their positions were both low, at least Zhenxing had a lot of money. This way, Ao Guang would be able to collect the betrothal gifts as soon as possible.
