”Of course, all the tephra here have been refined by the Island Owner. All these are only part of the Tusk Island's defense. The only reason why all of you could enter this place smoothly is that the Island Owner has removed the island's inhibitions. If not, entering the Tusk Island would have been impossible,” Tuo Gu asserted. His tone was full of confidence and he completely disregarded the great power Zhou Bao displayed.
”Seems like your Island Owner must be a powerful person. There is so much tephra here that it would take ages to refine!”
”It's nothing. The Island Owner has a magic weapon that can refine as much tephra as he likes!” Tuo Gu taunted, ”Zhou Bao, Your Excellency, don't think about tricking me. I have already told you what I can say. The words that I cannot tell will never be spoken!”
Zhou Bao felt a bit awkward at Tuo Gu's words. He could only nod and say, ”I understand, I understand. I didn't intend to inquire about your secrets. I was just curious about why your Island Owner has only invited me over. You must understand, there are people on that boat who are stronger than me and they even possess celestial devices and Pure Yang Celestial Device!”
”Our Island Owner invited you because the power you just displayed surprised him. Of course, that's not to say that our Island Owner is not inferior to you. It is just that our Island Owner needs someone as powerful as you, that's why he had let you guys in!”
”The Island Owner needs my strength and therefore he let us in?”
”That's right. You'll understand once you meet him,” Tuo Gu promised. He stopped abruptly and said, ”The Island Owner is right ahead. You can find him yourself, I can only accompany you to this point!”
Zhou Bao fixed his gaze on the path Tuo Gu pointed out. The area under the mountain was, in fact, a basin enveloped by mountains. In the center of the basin was a deep pool, and beside the pool was a small wooden house. It looked rudimentary but it had a refreshing aura.
”Your Island Owner lives there?!”
”Yes. Go ahead. Besides the Island Owner, nobody is allowed in. Who would have thought that Your Excellency would have a chance to go in!” Tuo Gu sighed with a trace of jealousy that he could not conceal.
”I'm not interested in that, I wish we could exchange positions!” Zhou Bao observed Tuo Gu's jealous expression and thought in his heart. He saw that the valley had not much killing intent. It was instead a place of peace and calm. He felt relieved. Straightening his body, he leaped downwards to the bottom of the valley.
Landing at the bottom of the valley, Zhou Bao walked to the front of the wooden house. Then, Zhou Bao's eyebrows twitched a little. The door to the wooden house was open and the interior of the house was not big. With one glance, he could tell there was no spatial barrier in this space. Of course, there was no one there, either.
”Strange, how can there be no one? Is that damn Island Owner playing with me? Do I look like an easy target to be played with?!” Zhou Bao was not pleased. While he was deep in thought, a loud splash came from the deep pool. Zhou Bao was wide-eyed as he saw a huge blue fish jump out of the deep pool. As it flew across the air, it transformed into a person and appeared in front of Zhou Bao.
The fish incarnation was actually a blue-clothed female. She was beautiful, refined and exuded a pristine aura, much like the fairies in water.
”18 Dragon-bone Regions, the First Tusk Island's Island Owner Lan Shui'er meets Your Excellency Zhou Bao!”
Lan Shui'er's physical appearance stunned Zhou Bao. But in a split second he regained his composure and offered his hand, ”Central Mainland Region, Jin Dynasty, Yunzhou Zhou Bao meets Island Owner!”
”No need for the pleasantries, Your Excellency, please come in!”
Lan Shui'er was a water fairy, a monster. She did not care for the pleasantries of human beings. She only exchanged names with Zhou Bao and then proceeded to invite him into the small wooden house.
”Thanks!” Zhou Bao smiled and strode into the house. He found a stool, sat down, and said, ”I wonder why Island Owner has called me here?”
”I'd like to ask you for a favor!”
”Island Owner, you must be joking. Island Owner's power far exceeds mine. Just now, I, Zhou Bao, was just showing off my mediocre powers in front of you. I am now deeply embarrassed, so I ask Island Owner to stop joking with me,” Zhou Bao said hastily.
He could not see through the strength of the Island Owner, but he could sense Lan Shui'er's Water-property Essential Qi in her body. It was silky and layered, as if her entire body had integrated with the Water-property Essential Qi. It was as if she was a boundless deep pool. A glance at her would make one gasp consecutively.
This aqua original energy was not any ordinary essence of the world. It was Dharma power, an authentic Dharma power vibration, which was extremely rich and strong.
Zhou Bao had Dharma power within him too and his level of Dharma power was quite high. But he was not able to display it as his body was not strong enough.
His body condition now, to be honest, was only enough to withhold the Dharma power.
