Chapter 304: Chapter 304 Reverse Seed Cauldron
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“I heard Yue Guanyun is prepared to officially build a country and call himself king, how amusing…”
Hu Zhongyuan walked. His eyes showed a mocking intent, “They just have 4 provinces! In the past, when the ruler was here, he ruled 9 provinces and didn’t even think about having a king system. I can’t believe Yue Guanyun actually dares to do so, his personality is arrogant beyond everyone!”
When he said that, although no one else around spoke they all had an agreeing look on their faces. The coincidental meeting just now had given them all a common enemy.
Zong Shou didn’t bother, many thoughts flying in his head. Originally, based on his intentions, he needed to just make some more beast crystals. As for the alliance fleet of the 3 cities, he wasn’t prepared to bother with them.
However, just now, Yue Guanyun had made him extremely furious. This plan naturally had to be changed.
Let’s hope this Psychic Island would sell those services.
The reporting place for the cloud ocean hunting was not far from the pier, within a small building. When Zong Shou rushed there, he was slightly shocked.
The one in charge was actually Lingyun Sect Long Ruo.
What was shocking was that Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran we’re there too. He was filled with questions, but his face didn’t reveal it.
After exchanging glances and greetings, they directly got to the topic.
“Your Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City want to use the cloud ocean whirlpool ladder near Psychic Island?”
long Ruo has expected it and wasn’t surprised. He observed Zong Shou carefully. However, no matter how he looked, apart from some lightning flashing which could be the effect of some spiritual artifact, there wasn’t anything special about him.
The true qi and soul power he had trained out in the past had disappeared without a trace. His soul ocean and body seemed to be protected by something and couldn’t be seen through.
He was filled with doubt for a moment before he didn’t mind anymore, focusing on the matter at hand. He specially came over here to take a look at Zong Shou. Whether or not he was as the rumors said. However, now, he felt both disappointed and relaxed.
“There are many empty times there. However, city lord Zong Shou should know the rules here. Each cloud ship 10 grade 5 beast crystals. Five tooth giant ship adds 5 more! If you chose to give us a cut you, then you don’t need to pay…”
Zong Shou’s lips curled in disdain. These hidden sects that occupied these tens of cloud ocean whirlpool ladders that connected to beneath the cloud ocean. Whenever powers of the world went hunting they needed to report to the sects. Year after year, they accumulated money. Who knows how much money they had extorted.
However, at this moment, they were under their roof and had to lower their heads. He didn’t dare to choose a percentage, directly taking out a bag with 110 grade 6 beast crystals.
Long Ruo took a look before he kept it in satisfaction. Following which he heard Zong Shou say, “I would like to hire some Lingyun Sect inner sect disciples on board.”
“Hire my sects’ disciples?”
Long Ruo’s brows raised, following which he understood Zong Shou’s intention. This was to prevent the 3 cities from doing dark methods. With Lingyun Sect disciples there, even if those 3 had many methods they couldn’t use them.
He couldn’t help but smile, “Sure! But to invite my disciples out, the price isn’t small.”
Zong Shou didn’t speak, directly taking out a bag. Long Ruo’s eyes swept only to see that there were 200 grade 6 beast crystals.
Although the price of beast crystals had depreciated ten over time, it was still a sizeable fortune. He immediately nodded, “Deal! Half a day later I will send 40 disciples on board. However, they will only help you hunt. If their lives are in danger, they can freely choose to leave or stay.”
The people behind Zong Shou were both joyous and worried. They were happy that Zong Shou’s methods were truly smart. Using the Lingyun Sect disciples to dissolve the threat of those 4 thousand cloud ships. But they were worried that before they even went down the cloud ocean they used up more than 300 grade 6 beast crystals.
Who knows whether or not they could earn it back this time?
With the main matter done, Zong Shou was lazy to talk any nonsense and directly said his goodbyes. Just as he was about to leave, Long Ruo suddenly spoke to Xuanyuan Yiren, “Is that junior sister Xuanyuan? I am the senior brother of Han Nishui from mysterious spirit cloud sect. We are good friends. I’ve heard about your matter, the marriage between you two is really important, Junior Sister. Please consider him!”
Xuanyuan Yiren instantly frowned. Zong Shou’s face also sunk. His good feelings towards this Long Ruo disappeared. He thought to himself, why this person was such a busybody.
Zong Shou didn’t want to engage and directly walked out. If it wasn’t because of the 12 god talisman seeds and the cloud shocking god destroying sword intent, he would go all out with this Long Ruo no matter the cost.
Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan had extremely ugly expressions.
The 2 of them had long known about junior sister Xuanyuan’s marriage matter. Long Ruo’s words could be seen as a direct humiliation and provocation towards their common people path, the 3 sects, and 6 schools!
As the 2nd generation direct disciple of the main sect, his identity was even higher than that of the various sect lords of the 3 sects and 6 schools by several generations! He was the true core.
Who was this Han Nishui? What’s the identity of this Long Ruo to dare meddle in this matter?
No matter how the two of them disliked him when they faced such a matter they would go all out to help.
Zhao Yanran nearly pulled out her sword but Lei Dong pressed her down. She scoffed, “I think senior brother needs to be careful what you say. If not, you might cause your Lingyun Sect to be wiped out!”
Whilst she said that she angrily walked out.
The expressions of the people following Zong Shou all looked extremely ugly. However, at this moment since Zong Shou didn’t explode, they couldn’t do much and could only silently leave.
Lei Dong sighed as he hid up, “Brother Long you have always been smart. But what happened today will make you regret it for life! Like what that little clown Yanran said, you should be careful in the future. Your Lingyun Sect spreading in Dongling… lasting for ten thousand years isn’t simple…”
Long Ruo was slightly shocked. He didn’t bother to care about what Zhao Yanran said, but he had to take what Lei Dong, who was in the same righteous path as him, said seriously. He asked in surprise, “Brother Lei, for what reason do you have such high hopes for this kid and protect him so much? Has this kid entered Taiyuan Sect?”
Even then, he wouldn’t care. With his situation, he definitely couldn’t have many achievements. Or maybe when they accepted him they didn’t know his soul was broken and tattered and he had barriers from heaven.
Lei Dong was speechless, thinking that Zong Shou’s identity was much higher than his. However due to the deal between sword sect and common people path, at least within this several years sword sect had to keep it a secret.
“I can’t tell you in detail about my sworn brother. I only have some kind words for you. If your Lingyun Sect and Mysterious Cloud Sect dare to do anything to my brother or his wife, I, Lei Dong, will go all out…”
When he said that, Lei Dong didn’t stay for long, walking out of the building
It left Long Ruo in confusion. Pretty much from his intuition, he knew that Zong Shou’s situation was far from as simple as it looked on the surface.
Walking on the streets, Zong Shou held onto Xuanyuan Yiren. Every few steps, he took in a deep breath. Only then did he calm himself down, but he was still filled with rage. At least the violent thoughts didn’t attack his heart and make him want to pull his sword and kill.
Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran caught up quickly. The latter didn’t speak whilst Lei Dong smiled as he caught up with him, grumbling about Zong Shou extorting those jugs of wine. Then he sighed, “The greatest regret of my life is being unable to get junior Brother into my Wujue Mountain. The sword reverend has been smart his entire life but only this matter he made a big mistake.”
Zong Shou smiled and didn’t speak. Lei Dong didn’t say anymore, his face filled with melancholy, “Speaking of which, we brothers haven’t had time to gather after we swore our relationship and drink a cup, what a pity. Originally, I thought that we would be free after this matter ended, however, I need to rush back to see Miss Zhenru and won’t accompany you. In the future, let’s meet when we have the chance…”
His eyes were filled with joy and eagerness. Then, he left as he said he would. He instructed a few matters before hurriedly leaving.
Zong Shou sent his cheap brother away. Then he gazed at Zhao Yanran.
Although he didn’t speak, his eyes were sending a message: Why was she still here?
Zhao Yanran was furious, both ashamed and angry. After a moment she helplessly said, “Do you think I can? Senior master instructed me to protect you. Also, he said for me to use the reverse seed cauldron technique…”
Zong Shou was startled before he understood.
Cauldron energy seed host was a commonly used cultivation method by seven spirit sect. Inner sect disciples’ initial cultivation speed wasn’t apparent, but once they found a suitable cauldron to cultivate their seed, their cultivation would improve greatly.
As for the reverse seed cauldron technique, it was as its name suggests. It used the caster’s seed to strengthen the cauldron.
Naturally, the female disciples of the sect couldn’t truly help others by harming themselves and not gain any benefit in return. The stronger the cauldron would result in the seed strengthening too, a win-win cultivation path. It was different from the cauldron energy seed host which snatched people’s essence energy.
However, the requirement for the cauldron was several times higher.
It was obvious that Zhao Yanran’s teacher felt that Zong Shou could be that cauldron.
Zong Shou didn’t eye Zhao Yanran’s small amount of cultivation. Instead of protecting him, this reverse cauldron seed technique was the main point.
However, to him, it was something he didn’t mind having. This technique was exquisite in it not needing both parties to go on the bed to dual cultivate.
Moreover, it would give him a lot of benefits. He directly smiled, “You have to ask Yiren first. Apart from that, if it begins and if you have feelings for me, your life and death will be under my control. It would be a huge heart problem?”
“I know, what do I have to fear?”
Zhao Yanran raised her eyebrows in provocation. Then, she looked at Xuanyuan Yiren who was anticipating it, but she didn’t say any begging words. Her brows furrowing, directly tossing a bag to Zong Shou, “This is my energy seed spiritual seed. If you don’t want it, then forget it…”
After she spoke, she fled far away like one would if they were running away from an enemy. Zong Shou giggled behind. His mood suddenly feeling a lot better.
