Chapter 1664 - Despicable Person (1/2)

Aside from Li Miaohan, there were dozens more monks giving invitations to Gong Ziyan, and each of them had a solid background.

A Gold-armored Guard handed a black box to Gong Ziyan and said, “Crown Prince Dizu, his highness, has prepared a banquet for you. This is a gift for the first meeting. Please do take it.”

Gong Ziyan didn’t reach for the black box. Instead, he smiled and said, “I’ve admired Crown Prince Dizu for a long time. There’s no need for any gift, and I’ll definitely go visit him in the future.”

There were then other talents from top-tier powerful fields who tried to give him invitations, but they were all rejected by Gong Ziyan politely.

As all the monks thought Gong Ziyan would accept the invitation from Li Miaohan, they were all thrilled as w.a.n.g Xu and Blue Fang showed up.

w.a.n.g Xu laughed in the distance and said, “What took you so long, brother Yan? Ziyan has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Blue Fang smiled and said, “You’re too late this time, brother Yan. w.a.n.g Tian and Qiong Ling arrived before you did, and even Queen Daxi, who’s always late, is already in the banquet. The food will get cold if you don’t come soon!”

Seeing w.a.n.g Xu and Blue Fang, Gong Ziyan gave Li Miaohan and the others a slight bow and turned around. “I was rus.h.i.+ng here as fast as possible when I got the news, but I ran into some trouble on my way here, which is why I’m late. Let’s go, otherwise Shang Ziyan and w.a.n.g Tian will ask me to have three drinks beforehand at least.”

Fairy Tianchu sent one of her best disciples to invite Gong Ziyan, yet even she got turned down. Seeing Gong Ziyan leave, many monks found it unbelievable.

However, thinking that it was Shang Ziyan, w.a.n.g Tian, Qiong Ling and Queen Daxi who invited Gong Ziyan, they found it acceptable.

Zhang Ruochen stood in the distance and looked at w.a.n.g Xu and Blue Fang. He found that their forces were so powerful and stronger than his, which meant they’d probably become third-step saint kings already.

How did they improve so quickly? Zhang Ruochen felt pressured.

He had to keep moving forward as he was competing with the best talents, otherwise, he would fall behind.

As they were both improving their power, if Zhang Ruochen couldn’t make progress faster, the others would surpa.s.s him.

After all, w.a.n.g Xu and Blue Fang were both qualified to enter the inner four yards, which had more precious and better saint fruits and divine medicinal pills, which boosted their cultivation. Besides, they were likely to have others to help them pick up the saint fruits and divine medicinal pills to improve their cultivation.

There were many opportunities in the G.o.d-Naming Platform, and the lower someone’s cultivation was, the better chance they had to improve themselves.

On the contrary, those with already great cultivation would find it harder to make a breakthrough.

For example, fifth-step saint kings usually had hundreds of thousands of saintly way rules in their bodies, so even after eating Heartmoon Saint Fruits, they could only increase their saintly way rules by hundreds, which was almost nothing to their cultivation.

Only the divine medicinal pills that were more than fifty thousand years old could attract them.

The eight-armed Spider King said, “Now you know how powerful Heaven Field is. Even the leader of s.p.a.ce Divine Pavilion needs to befriend them. Although Heaven Track Field is only one of the weakest fields in Heaven Field’s sect, they’ll still fight for them.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “No need to try talking us out of it, Spider King. I know how powerful the Heaven Field sect is, but they’re not in total control. This is the G.o.d-Naming Platform, and everyone needs to follow the rules of Truth G.o.dly Palace.”

The eight-armed Spider King knew that the Heaven Field sect wasn’t his to mess with, so he sighed, leaving without trying to persuade them.

Zhang Ruochen would never fight a battle he couldn’t be guaranteed to win. He needed to make some preparations for selling the saint-king captives from the Heaven Field sect.

Firstly, Zhang Ruochen used spatial twist and set up a small spatial maze around the booth, and then, he carved some spatial inscriptions at certain locations to set up one spatial trap after another.

He had studied how to make spatial traps before, but he wasn’t able to do it because his cultivation wasn’t profound enough.

After making the necessary preparations, Zhang Ruochen set up a mini s.p.a.ce transportation formation under the booth so that they could leave any time they wanted.

They had to find the saint fruits and divine medicinal pills they needed before selling the saint-king captives.

Xiang Chunan counted the valuables left by the seller from Heaven Track Field and sighed. “What a bunch of trash. Nothing’s valuable except that Jiangliang Herb that’s forty thousand years old.”

He then put away the mat.

Xiang Chunan then picked up the valuables he’d picked from the G.o.d-Naming Platform and put them on the booth, and he wrote a sign beside it that said, “In exchange for saint fruits and divine medicinal pills to refine bodies.”

Zhang Ruochen gave one third of the divine medicinal pills he found in the underground cave to Xiang Chunan.

And then, he put a mat beside Xiang Chunan and put a part of the divine medicinal pills and saint fruits he had.

Xiang Chunan took a look and was thrilled. “How did you get so many saint fruits, brother Ruochen?”

Actually, these only amounted to one fifth of the saint fruits Zhang Ruochen owned.

If he took them all out, Xiang Chunan might fall into despair.
