631 Bringing Benefit To The Common People (1/2)
At the start, the middle-aged Confucian's face relaxed slightly. However, when he heard that last sentence he knew that Zong Shou might have seemed like he agreed but actually he was not planning to yield.
He had an unhappy look in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak up, he thought to himself, after all this is Gantian Mountain. The rise and fall of it had to do with Zong Shou, what did it concern him?
He scoffed and didn't say a word, waving his sleeves and leaving.
The moment he left, the person covered in black energy laughed self-mockingly, ”He is just like that, like everything in the world needs to follow his rules before it is considered the proper path. Since he knew that he couldn't easily obtain Ruler's Universe Book, why did he bother to come over if he was poor? He really thought just after a few words, he would follow his orders?”
Zong Shou smiled, he wasn't interested in debating about others behind their backs. He took out the four Universe Book incomplete scrolls and placed it in front of his body.
”Let's follow what we discussed just now. Each one of them is 1,000 Grade-9 Mind Stones. It is best if you have Mind Stones but if not, you can exchange using some great items.”
The eyes of the four people constricted. After they exchanged glances they didn't say a word.
Although Zong Shou was cunning, he didn't go too far. In the future, the Demon, Taoists, Buddhists and Sword Sects would just depend on their own skill.
To find the location of the book, they just needed a few pages, any more was just useless.
If today they all fell into the hands of one person, then the few of them would probably have to battle.
The person from the Sword Sect was the most straightforward, waving his hand and throwing out a small Heaven and Earth bag.
Following this, Wuji and the Demon Path Cultivator also paid mind stones. Zifang spoke in a really merciful manner, laughing awkwardly, ”Our Buddhist Faction often donates and helps the commoners, so we don't have much money and don't have much need for Mind Stones. Today I only brought these 8 Buddhist Pearls, can it make up for those 1,000 Mind Stones?”
After he finished, several rays of light cast over.
Zong Shou's brow furrowed, then his heart jumped. Who knows what the 8 Beige Buddhist Pearls in his hand were made of, they were like walnuts, weighing 5,000 kilograms.
Gathering Spiritual Energy in his eyes, he could see a five-colored glow shining.
Thinking back, Zong Shou had heard about this merit bead that the Buddhist Faction had. It gathered merit and good thoughts and was really precious.
It could suppress evil energy and violent thoughts, helping one cultivate.
In terms of value it was indeed comparable to the 1,000 Grade-9 Mind Stones. However, this item wasn't of much use to him.
Right as he was about to reject, Zong Shou heard a swallow of saliva from beside him.
The baby Qilin's nose twitched, his eyes brightly looking at his hands.
Zong Shou laughed. This fellow ate energy to grow and it seemed like it was interested in the 'energy' within the Merit Pearl and wanted to consume it.
He didn't hesitate to keep them all into his sleeves. Then he waved his arms and the remains of the Universe Book floated to the four of them.
The deal had been completed. The few people in the clouds all seemed more relaxed.
However, they were still seated there with no intention to leave.
Zong Shou smiled. He had finally gotten rid of the hot potato. He had even extorted them by a huge amount which made him even more delighted.
With just these Mind Stones, he would be able to speed up time, condensing 300 years using the Book of Eon Extreme Life.
Next would be those two heads. It was time to see how much emphasis and importance the factions placed on Wuxuan and Xiao Xiangzi.
The air was totally silent. Seeing Zong Shou having no intentions to speak, Wuji said helplessly, ”My Daoling Vast Habitat wants to exchange Xiao Xiangzi's life for 5 Medium-Grade Mind Stone mines. Will Ruler accept this?”
Zong Shou exclaimed and looked over, only to see Wuji wave his hands and a scroll was tossed over.
Zong Shou took a look and saw that on it was marked the locations of those 5 mines.
This Daoling Vast Habitat really wanted to form a good relationship with him, their offer was really generous. 3 of them were newly formed, 1 of which was really close to High-Grade. This was such a huge gift...
Only their location made Zong Shou shocked.
”Huizhou Island?”
The Cloud World consisted of 5 continents and 12 islands. Out of the 5 continents, Donglin Cloud Continent was the 4th.
This Huizhou Island was one of the 12 islands. It was said that during the Cloud Desolate Era, it was called Huizhou which was how it got its name.
It wasn't small, covering roughly 10 provinces of land. It was not far southwest of Donglin, roughly 14,000 miles away.
The fastest cloud ship would need 3 days and nights to get there.
Based on what he knew, this was one of the original camps of the Taoists. Although there weren't any shrines nor Spiritual Houses, there were several Sects under Daoling Vast Habitat that established their mountains there.
What did Wuji mean by throwing the 5 unharvested veins there to him?
Although there was a suspicion that it was fake, the 5 veins taken out were born from
