Chapter 484

Sunlight spilled over the lake, water birds circled and flew low, waiting for the undulating white waves to roll out small fish.

Liang Qu stood alone at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, facing the wind, the white deer stepping on waves uniform rustling in the wind, his gaze looking toward the endless distance.

Everything remained unchanged.

Only the boat's draft was a few inches deeper than before.

"The White Ape's whereabouts are uncertain and erratic; even if I want to find it, I have to leave a message and wait, which takes some effort.

Three days later, same place, I will give you an answer."

Three days?

So many good treasures sent out, and yet couldn't get a definite location?

Huang Lin and Orange Scale couldn't stop flicking their tongues, looking toward Red Scale.

Red Scale was dissatisfied in its heart, but remained calm: "Strong are bandits, weak are humble, disregarding kindness and righteousness; the White Ape's nature is like this. It hides east and west, not even fully trusting you, my lord, hiding its whereabouts.

It can be seen that being on good terms with the human race is just to use the power of the River Earl's office, definitely not treating each other with sincerity!

Therefore, it is reasonable for you, my lord, to spend effort to confirm its whereabouts; three days later, still the same place, I will wait for your good news."

Waited for two months, what's the harm in waiting three more days?

Taking the opportunity to stir up the relationship between the two sides, Red Scale giant snake led the snakes to turn and dive, the surging current breaking the white waves.

The sound of the tide was continuous.

Blue Viper, keeping watch nearby, couldn't hear the conversation between the man and snake, but saw Liang Qu accept the treasures and knew the matter was settled, hurriedly gathering the snake monsters.

Catching up with Red Scale in one breath, Blue Viper's scales bristled: "Quick, quick, quick, where is the White Ape! I want to take its monkey head!"

"Three days later, then I will know."

"Three days later?" Blue Viper felt like cold water was poured on its head, staring with giant snake eyes, "Don't know now?"

Red Scale said faintly: "Don't know."

"The things haven't arrived, and you gave him so many benefits?"

Red Scale didn't pay attention, burying its head and moving forward.

Only Orange Scale showed pride, reciting what it had learned from books.

"If you don't give up the golden bullet, you can't hit the golden phoenix. If you can't bear small things, you will mess up big plans; Red's wisdom is as deep as the Great Marsh, how could you ever reach it?"

Huang Lin calmly agreed.

"Watch well, learn well. Blue, if you could learn even a little bit from Red... forget it, you won't learn a thing in this life, just be a thug with peace of mind!"

Blue: "?"

+++

The boat swayed.

Water birds flew back.

"Whew~

Witnessing the red snake disappear into the horizon, Liang Qu's nerves relaxed, exhaling a breath of turbid air.

"They really know how to take detours."

Used to dealing with the Toad clan, a water demon like Red Scale giant snake was the first time he had seen one, leaving a deep impression.

Pity.

"Not easy to fool..."

It would still take some time for the Martial Saint to arrive.

Liang Qu had originally thought about trying to trick it twice in a short time, but didn't expect it to be so clever.

"Oh well, a thousand birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand."

Practicing "Wansheng Baoyuan," his state of mind was peaceful; Liang Qu looked around, reached into the water, and spread his perception.

Confirming no giant snakes were lingering, he immediately opened the partition and counted the harvest of adding money.

In the waterproof compartment, white waves rippled, the Golden Gong Fish swayed its long tail, and the fluorescent blue treasure lotus shrank into a flower bud under the stimulation of sunlight.

There were also twelve Green Spirit Lotus seeds, one face-sized Two-Life Flower, four bottles of Pulse Marrow Jade Liquid water, and three pieces of Vast Sea Blue Gold!

Adding money added several times more!

Huge profit!!

The Golden Gong Fish had the effect of increasing the divine soul, a rare treasure; he might be able to use this to go to the Toad Boss and do a one-for-two exchange.

For the Toad Boss, the effect of the treasure fish was secondary; deliciousness was better than usefulness.

Keep one to get a golden gallbladder for the gourmet Su Guishan to enjoy; the information from his direct superior was truly useful, he should return the favor, and the remaining two could also be exchanged for four level-equivalent treasure fish.

The effects of the treasure lotus and lotus seeds were unknown, one blue like cold ice, one green like jade.

But since Red Scale giant snake said they were worth as much as the Golden Gong Treasure Fish, from the perspective of water essence, it was at least twenty thousand!

Two-Life Flower, water and fire born together, similar but different, essential for practicing the Golden Body.

Pulse Marrow Jade Liquid was even more of a treasure liquid that Wolf Smoke experts dreamed of.

Martial arts cultivation entering Wolf Smoke, relying solely on resource accumulation was difficult to grow steadily; the refining and construction of meridians especially required talent, comprehension, and mental power.

But difficult didn't mean impossible!

The world had many strange things, and it was just a matter of high or low cost.

Pulse Marrow Jade Liquid was the perfect product to assist in opening meridians!

The price was outrageously expensive; the Sky Ship Chamber of Commerce sold it, but the normal transaction price was all over ten thousand taels!

Now there were four full bottles!

Plus the Two-Life Flower, Red Scale giant snake was completely "prescribing the right medicine" and "catering to his preferences."

It must have inquired beforehand.

"The snake clan's resource reserves are more than I imagined."

Combined with the Great Elixir for Condensing Meridians issued by the imperial court, opening meridians, condensing meridians, and filling in some of the Dragon-Man clan's resources...

Liang Qu was surprised to find that after closing for a while and digesting his recent gains, he could almost start condensing the Human Bridge!

How long had it been?

Since the snake slaughter in Xiangyi County, the snake clan had really been exploding good things for him wave after wave!

Who said enemies couldn't be investors?

Investment, everything can be invested!

Liang Qu was in a great mood, raised his hand and picked up the last Vast Sea Blue Gold.

The only treasure material among many treasures, the azure surface rippling with light.

【Water Essence +1】

Like the old giant clam, putting Vast Sea Blue Gold into the water had the effect of helping to absorb water essence!

Three fist-sized pieces of Vast Sea Blue Gold were enough to rival an entire old giant clam, and the key was that they could be carried around.

Red Scale's rank shouldn't know about the existence of water essence; being able to send it out was mostly because the metal itself was miraculous.

Spiritual metal!

Same as the supreme-grade blood stone, the raw material of the Abyss Wood Bow!

Really willing to spend!

"Should call Brother Xu over."

Long Lingxiao changed into a pocket, and Liang Qu put the three blue golds on his body.

He didn't know if he had squeezed Red Scale giant snake to its bottom line, but if Xu Yuelong came, he would definitely be able to squeeze out more.

Awesome!

Returned fully loaded!

Liang Qu controlled the water to lift the boat, driving like a speedboat back to the pier, and switched to oars when encountering fishermen.

The pedestrians on Blue Stone Street were bustling, shoulder to shoulder, with vendors setting up stalls and hawking on both sides.

Some were even selling the sacrificial meat distributed yesterday, pickled into strips of dark cured meat.

Liang Qu didn't care; whether they ate it or not was their own business.

He carried the two large boxes through the crowd, a path automatically opening in front of him, occasionally accompanied by greetings.

The River God Ceremony ended, but that didn't mean the liveliness of the River God Sacrifice ended.

The water stage sang for three days, the gathering was held for a week, and it wasn't until the middle of the month that the lingering charm of the entire festival completely dissipated.

Under the veranda, rattan vines hung down.

A few birds hopped on the crossbeams, pecking at flying insects.

Su Guishan lay on a long chair to cool off, Wulong lying by his hand wagging its tail; seeing Liang Qu flash through the courtyard excitedly, he called out to stop him.

"Wait, what good things did you trick? Running so fast?"

"I'm rich!" Liang Qu lifted the box in front of him, "Four bottles of Pulse Marrow Jade Liquid! A pile of treasure plants! This kid is going to open the Human Bridge!"

"Tsk tsk, all things you need." Su Guishan reached out and scratched Wulong's head, "The snake clan is quite willing to spend... but what feud does your White Ape have with them?"

"Who cares! The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

Liang Qu rushed into the quiet room in a hurry.

Closed cultivation, closed cultivation!
