497 Seeing Lingbo Again (1/2)

When he returned from the world river, surprisingly, the beast crystals and lion tiger beasts that Zong Shou and the others had on him didn't need to be handed up.

Zong Shou found it surprising. That final grade 9 beast seemed to be afraid of something, retreating by itself.

Was it some elder from within the sect that helped scare it off?

Or was it afraid of the strength of his dharma?

Although he didn't understand the situation, it was a good thing to be able to protect these things.

Each of the baby lion tiger beasts could be sold for a sky high price. As for those beast crystals, just the grade 9 lion tiger beast core was worth a huge amount.

As for soul stones, they were directly shattered by his one origin white sword.

Returning to the Merit Hall to hand in the mission. This time the deacon Fuwu had a dark and sunken face.

When Zong Shou took out his small heaven and earth bag and handed in all the obtained materials and beast crystals--pouring them all out in the small building-- the deacon's face was extremely ugly.

”Great great senior master, cheating isn't right!”

Zong Shou was delighted, he would always hear such words once every day.

”What cheating? Didn't you all check the things we had on us before we left?”

”But, but…”

Fuwu hesitated, looking at the people in front of him with a doubtful gaze.

In just half a day, there were thousands of grade 6 beast crystals and close to hundred grade 7 and grade 8 crystals ended together.

...Furthermore, there was an extremely pure metal element grade 9 beast crystal!

He knew that Zong Shou's sword path was exquisite. Even Jueyu was defeated by him. He could be compared to half a grade 9, but it was only half. It was impossible for him to defeat a grade 9 beast.

This was why this great great senior master Zong must have definitely cheated! Only, he couldn't manage to think of how he cheated.

Zong Shou's face had sunk down, putting on a face and coldly scoffing. Fuwu was helpless. After carefully calculating, he wrote the numbers beside Zong Shou's name on a leaderboard, changing it to 2.37 million. The total merit points were close to half more than that of the name behind him.

Zong Shou calmly looked at it. Then, he exclaimed. There was one more name on the list which was actually that of Shui Lingbo's.

Yesterday, she was nowhere to be seen but today she had already popped up. 150 thousand merit points, just behind Fangwen and Xuexi.

It wasn't that these 2 people weren't as strong as him. The former needed to take care of the palace whilst the latter was in deep cultivation--to make up for those 20 years of time where he didn't focus on cultivating.

That woman also returned back to common people palace?

He was thinking that way in his heart. Fuwu suddenly leaned on his ears and said happily, ”Great great senior master! Elder Han has ordered that you can quit this world river cleaning matter. He says there is a more important matter for you…”

Zong Shou was delighted. However, his expression didn't change, flatly acknowledging. Then, he squinted as he looked towards Fuwu, waiting for him to continue.

It was naturally a joyous matter not needing to clean the world river. However, the important matter after, whether or not he should take up the matter would be up to his mood.

Today, it could be said that he had forcefully completed the mission, doing his duty for the common people path. That old man Hanfang couldn't command him anymore.

Fuwu didn't speak about any specifics, just passing a jade letter to the front of Zong Shou.

”Elder Han said that if great great senior master accepts, this it would be for the best. If not, then he will find someone else. You can ponder about it, please give a reply within a day.”

Zong Shou was shocked, receiving the jade letter. With just a slight use of spiritual sense, a decent sized information wave charged into his mind.

Scanning carefully, his brows furrowed, ”So that is the case!”

Just thinking for a moment, Zong Shou kept that jade letter into his sleeves.

”I, Zong Shou, will accept this matter!”

The matter was simple. It would take 3 days to and fro, and it was also along the way. It didn't seem like it was a tough matter, it was within his ability.

What was most important was the last sentence which said that after the matter, he could relax for the next 5 years.

Walking out of the Merit Hall, at the corner of his eyes, Zong Shou sharply noticed a red person flash across. He didn't know where it went.

”That should be your senior master Fairy Lingbo? Am I that scary?”

Zhao Yanran also looked out, her face extremely weird, wanting to laugh but not daring to. She knew that Shui Lingbo's senses were sharp and remembered people who offended her. He could only muddily reply, ”Disciple doesn't know! Maybe great great senior master has seen it wrongly…”

Zong Shou laughed to himself, but he also felt a little worried. He didn't dare to offend this explosive Fairy Lingbo. The corner of his lips curled up as he made his way away.

Separating from Zong Yuan, Zhao Yanran and the others, Zong Shou headed straight for the method teaching Pavillion and technique teaching pavillions. During this half a month, whenever he was free, he would run there to use those 3 million merit points to exchange for all the sword techniques and secret techniques that he was interested in.

He didn't go just for those of high grade. On the contrary, he started to look from grade 2 techniques. Starting from low to high, from shallow to deep.

In the last life what he paid attention to most was the foundations. However, due to him being alone, his foundations were not considered stable.
