Chapter 915

"You dare to use a person like this?" Xu Yuelong asked with a smile. "Since he could betray the Ghost Mother Sect, aren't you afraid he'll sell you out later?"

"Isn't he still being kept at the River Patrol Office?"

"That's only because it's easy to supervise him right under your nose; he won't be able to cause any trouble."

"I'm not afraid."

"As you wish."

People cannot decide the circumstances of their birth. If there is truly such a great merit, letting Yi Zhiyu off the hook is not a big problem.

Anyone present today has this authority.

Of course.

But one must also bear the responsibility if something goes wrong later.

Returning to the top floor.

How to avoid "Lord Net" became the key issue discussed by the four.

"As long as Lord Net is not removed, the River Patrol Office cannot mobilize the fleet on a large scale; we can only use small squads, or even carry out surprise attacks with just a few people."

Everyone cast their gaze toward Wei Lin.

Su Guishan signaled for Wei Lin to continue.

Wei Lin did not beat around the bush: "Find a large, sturdy demon beast, have it swallow us, and go to the Dan Vein waters to launch a surprise attack."

A Trojan Horse!

This term flashed through Liang Qu's mind.

Su Guishan's eyes lit up.

"Makes sense. If a demon beast approaches, it certainly won't arouse suspicion!"

"In that case, we won't be able to secure many results." Xu Yuelong frowned. "Given the Ghost Mother Sect's situation, it's unrealistic to expect many good elixirs; high-grade elixir cauldrons are the real treasures. With this method, I'm afraid we won't be able to take even one."

"Heads are the results!"

"Do you really think heads are worth anything?" Xu Yuelong sneered. "The Ghost Mother Sect is different from the Northern Court or the Southern Frontier; every battle is a loss. That's why they strategically retreat into the Great Marsh. It was supposed to be a guaranteed victory, so how are we any better off if we can't eat any meat? If something goes wrong, the imperial court will blame us instead!"

The opportunist nature of the Ghost Mother Sect is extremely obvious, which is vastly different from the Southern Frontier and Northern Court. In essence, the Pingyang River Patrol Office only needs to adhere to a defensive stance; an attack without absolute certainty would instead invite impeachment.

"Find an expert with spatial divine abilities?" Liang Qu thought of the information his master, Yang Dongxiong, had once mentioned.

"This is feasible!"

Su Guishan made the final decision.

The other three immediately understood that Su Guishan had a candidate for this Grandmaster with spatial divine abilities.

"Leave the demon beast to me." Liang Qu took on this task.

Big matters require small meetings; small matters require big meetings.

The tone of the plan was set in just a few words.

Just as everyone was leaving, Liang Qu spoke up.

"There is one more thing."

"Speak."

"Dream Meng Meng Bai Huo. The Frog Tribe is prepared to sell us eighteen fish-watching spots."

Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin's eyes flashed.

Dream Meng Meng Bai Huo.

Pure epiphany!

"How much are they selling them for?"

"250,000 for a Perfected Form 【realm spot】, equivalent value in precious plants or precious fish is also acceptable." Having experienced the Ruyi Long Qi incident, Liang Qu had learned his lesson.

"Take one!"

"Take one."

The two of them bought them directly.

"Do not spread word of this." Liang Qu warned.

To earn the highest profit, one should of course go directly to the auction house.

Eighteen opportunities for epiphany would be worth the Sky Ship Chamber of Commerce organizing a temporary event for it.

However, the Ghost Mother Sect knew that the Dream Meng Meng Bai Huo had been snatched by the White Ape, and now this rare precious fish had appeared with great fanfare in the hands of the Frog Tribe.

If the Flood Dragon found out, the Frog Tribe would have to bear immense pressure, and the entire underwater environment would no longer be stable.

Therefore, it could only be a transaction among acquaintances.

That was why the old toad had asked Liang Qu to handle it. However, the old toad probably hadn't thought that much about it; it just felt that it was safer to have him handle it.

After the two left.

Su Guishan brewed a pot of tea: "If it's 250,000, I want one too."

"Don't worry, Uncle! I've arranged everything for you!"

"I get one too?" Su Guishan was surprised. "You're not a bachelor who doesn't worry about the family once you're fed; you have a whole family to support. Do you really have that many shares in your hands?"

"I have fifteen."

"That's not enough." Su Guishan counted on his fingers. "Your sect has ten people including you. You can't ignore your in-laws, the Dragon People tribe; that should be three. Then there's the Ming King and the Yue King. That's already full. You're still leaving one for me? Could it be that your Cao Shixiong isn't coming back?"

"I'm 'buying' one for myself."

Liang Qu grinned.

"Uncle, you probably know that I have a sock business with the Jiaoren. Every year, a portion of the dividends is kept within the martial arts hall. Some is used as bonuses, some is saved up, and the fellow disciples can borrow it at will, interest-free for three years. It was agreed at the time that I wouldn't take any, but I'm breaking my word for once today. Over these years, there should be about twenty."

Su Guishan shook his head: "You've always been generous."

"I grew up hungry, so I don't like seeing others eating alone."

"I feel bad taking yours for nothing." Su Guishan pulled out a slip of paper, signed and stamped it. "There is a Yin-Yang Restoration Pill in the inventory, which is just right for your Dragon-Tiger Golden Body. It's worth about 100,000 taels; go get it yourself."

"Got it!"

Liang Qu took the approval slip and ran downstairs excitedly. Passing the second floor, he took the opportunity to inform Ran Zhongshi and the others about the fish-watching spots.

Six years had passed in a flash. Most of the people who were once in the Wolf Smoke realm or even the Sky Bridge realm were not standing still. More than half had entered the Hunting Tiger realm. With few Perfected Form experts in Pingyang Prefecture, they belonged to the batch with the highest resale value.

Hunting Tiger is cheaper than Perfected Form, 180,000 per person.

It was snapped up almost as soon as it was called out.

Although the gains from epiphany vary from person to person and one might lose out, one might also make a huge profit, but no one would hesitate about whether to gamble or not.

There is too much to consider when taking pills, but epiphany comes from within oneself; there is absolutely no need to hesitate.

How many people want to buy but don't have the connections!

Everyone took time to raise money.

After selling most of the spots, Liang Qu went underwater to have the numerous water beasts find a sufficiently suitable demon beast.

His own subordinates certainly couldn't be the "Trojan Horse"; they would be marked with red names by "Lord Net." It was really hard to meet this condition with a purely wild one. Those who could cultivate to become demon beasts, if they were willing to learn, could all speak, and more or less would have pulled together a small tribe of their own.

In short, leave it to the water beasts.

A wisp of setting sun.

Ningjiang Prefecture.

The Yue King happily agreed.

It is still questionable how much epiphany the Dream Meng Meng Bai Huo can give a Wu Sheng, but he really wanted to see what the legendary, purest Dreamy White looked like.

"Student has one more request."

"Just say it."

"When Teacher achieved Wu Sheng in the past, was there any Blood Coral among the imperial rewards?" Liang Qu's eyes revealed anticipation.

"There were landscape rewards but no coral. Do you need Blood Coral?"

Liang Qu was quite disappointed: "It has some use for the student."

The Yue King thought for a moment and pulled a round plate from his bosom: "Zhang Xu!"

"Your Highness."

"Lead him to the underground treasury to take a look. If there's anything useful, just take two pieces. There was no coral in the landscape rewards, but it seems someone sent some before?"

"Someone did send some as a congratulatory gift." The House Steward Zhang Xu confirmed.

A turn of events.

Liang Qu was overjoyed. In the Prince's treasury, could there be strange treasures like pearls or Jiaoren tears?

Following Zhang Xu through the Prince's mansion, the two descended stairs from a tower to the underground, and a huge treasury lay before them.

Placing the round plate in the center, he twisted it several times.

The mechanism inside the wall clicked, the entire gate slowly opened, and a unique fragrance surged out from the treasury.

Zhang Xu lit the candles on the wall and reached out to guide him: "Baron Xingyi, please."

Liang Qu rubbed his hands, unable to hide his excitement, stepped onto the metal floor, and looked around.

"Are there any jewels in the treasury?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xu went to the wooden cabinet on the right and opened it. Inside were several sets of small boxes. Opening the first box, a small plate of transparent jewels came into view.

Jiaoren tears!

The Yue King also had Jiaoren tears in his hands.

Seventeen or eighteen, not many.

Even a mosquito's leg is meat. Liang Qu was still 600,000 short of 200 fusion.

Water Marsh Essence +2678】

Water Marsh Essence +2514】

Water Marsh Essence: 112,000】

Following the first box.

The second and third were a large box of pearls.

A little mouse burrowed into a rice jar, leaving only a thin tail behind.

Water Marsh Essence +78】

Water Marsh Essence +104】

Water Marsh Essence: 118,000】

Besides jewels, there were some stones, such as sea-pattern stones.

There was no Water Marsh Essence in these "stones."

Liang Qu had already figured out the law of essence. Those with essence are all organic gems in the water or ocean, nurtured by water beasts. Among the same variety, the older the better, which is manifested in size.

Unfortunately, the Yue King didn't seem to like collecting jewels.

Barely touching 120,000, the harvest of jewels ended here.

It was the turn of the final highlight, a pink coral and an orange coral!

The two were not as large as the Blood Coral rewarded by the imperial court, but they were both more than half the size!

Reaching out to touch them.

The light information jumped one after another.

The blue tide inside the Ze Ding surged rapidly.

Water Marsh Essence +】

Water Marsh Essence +】

Water Marsh Essence: 258,000】!
