Chapter 904: Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree (Second update, requesting everything)

In order to significantly boost Li Zhangsheng's impression of him, Zuo Qiulin finally gritted his teeth and said, "Our Tiantai Sect possesses a Water Element Top-Grade Spiritual Root called the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree!"

Li Zhangsheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed an expression of wild joy, while also feeling surprised; after all, this was a Top-Grade Spiritual Root whose value could not be measured.

Once Zuo Qiulin revealed the information about the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree, Li Zhangsheng suddenly realized that this Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree was not a fruit tree and could not produce fruit.

However, every three years, it could gestate a single drop of Light Spirit Pure Water.

The efficacy of Light Spirit Pure Water is quite unique; it can shorten the growth cycle of spiritual fruits. If applied to a High-level Spiritual Root, it can cause the spiritual fruits of that High-level Spiritual Root to ripen overnight.

As for the spiritual fruits of a Top-Grade Spiritual Root, Zuo Qiulin had not tried it, but one thing was certain: Light Spirit Pure Water could at least reduce the cultivation cycle of Top-Grade Spiritual Root fruits, though it would likely take several or even dozens of drops of Light Spirit Pure Water to bring them to maturity.

However, Light Spirit Pure Water is also a good thing for the Tiantai Sect; although it is not as valuable as fruit-bearing Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, it is still extremely precious and was left behind by the King who founded the Tiantai Sect.

"In our Tiantai Sect, the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree can only be considered a pearl covered in dust; only the Master is worthy of it. I am willing to offer the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree as a token of my sincere allegiance to the Master!"

It is easy to spend someone else's money; although Zuo Qiulin was filled with reluctance, as long as he could become a King, such a sacrifice was well worth it.

Li Zhangsheng had not expected that Zuo Qiulin would be willing to contribute a Top-Grade Spiritual Root, and the most important heritage item of the Tiantai Sect at that, just to become a King.

Xu Wenhua and the others on the side looked at each other, feeling great contempt in their hearts; the image of Zuo Qiulin they had held in their minds had directly collapsed.

I never thought you were this kind of Zuo Qiulin!

"I cannot take yours for nothing. How about this: I will use this Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal and the Heavenly One True Water Gourd to trade for the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree!"

The Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal goes without saying; it can significantly increase the probability of Darkness-type Demon Pets breaking through to the Demon King level.

As for the Heavenly One True Water Gourd, it is a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade Strange Treasure that can produce a drop of Heavenly One True Water every so often. Its value far exceeds ordinary Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade treasures and can serve as a substitute for the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree.

Li Zhangsheng used these two treasures to trade primarily to preserve Zuo Qiulin's reputation within the Tiantai Sect as much as possible. Otherwise, if he obtained the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree without paying any price, even if Zuo Qiulin were the Supreme Elder of the Tiantai Sect, he would inevitably become alienated from his subordinates.

Zuo Qiulin stared fixedly at the Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal, his eyes filled with longing. As long as he had this Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal, he had a high degree of certainty of obtaining his fifth Demon King level Demon Pet.

When that time came, Zuo Qiulin would truly be only half a step away from becoming a King.

It could be said that Zuo Qiulin's obsession was to become a King.

Some time ago, Zuo Qiulin had obtained a jar of Spirit Essence from Li Zhangsheng, and in order to slightly increase the probability of his Demon Pet breaking through to the Demon King level, he had directly used a Secret Technique with significant side effects.

Unfortunately, he fell short at the final hurdle, causing Zuo Qiulin's Spirit Essence to be severely depleted. He was already old and frail, which directly led to a massive loss of his already limited lifespan; now, he only had three years of life left.

"Many thanks, Master! I will bring the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree over in a moment!"

Zuo Qiulin excitedly took the two treasures, feeling exceptionally stirred, and gained a bit more sincerity toward Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng nodded, not at all afraid that Zuo Qiulin would break his promise.

After Zuo Qiulin left, Li Haoqiong suddenly asked, "Changsheng, Zuo Qiulin is a person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I am worried..."

Li Zhangsheng raised his right hand, interrupting Li Haoqiong's next words, and said, "Second Uncle, no one is perfect. Now is the time to use people, and besides, Zuo Qiulin can bring us benefits; we have no reason to refuse him. He is a smart man. As long as I can continue to progress, he will firmly tie himself to my chariot."

"I hope so!"

Li Haoqiong also felt he was being overly cautious and did not continue to speak.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng and the others returned to the forest, once again having dozens of giant dragons carry the many clansmen as they flew toward the Dai Kingdom.

Time waits for no one; Li Zhangsheng could not wait here any longer. The sooner they left the Langya Kingdom, the safer they would be.

As for Zuo Qiulin's side, Li Zhangsheng had already given him a Strange Treasure refined in imitation of the Mother-Child Golden Conch. This was the most outstanding one among this batch of imitations; as long as the distance between the two parties did not exceed eight hundred miles, they could communicate at any time.

After more than an hour, the dragons finally left the Langya Kingdom and entered the border of the Dai Kingdom.

Zhao Rui had received Li Zhangsheng's notification in advance and had been waiting from the morning until now.

At first, upon seeing dozens of adult giant dragons, Zhao Rui was also startled, subconsciously thinking it was the migration of some large giant dragon clan, only to eventually discover it was a false alarm.

Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Rui hurriedly rode his Demon Pet and flew over.

After an exchange of greetings, Li Zhangsheng introduced the two parties and immediately had Li Wenbo, Li Haoqiong, and Zhao Rui settle the clansmen together.

For the sake of safety, Clan Leader Li Wenbo specifically divided the clansmen into several batches, temporarily settling them in various parts of the Dai Kingdom to avoid being targeted by the Langya Kingdom.

Xu Wenhua and the others did not leave, preparing to go with Li Zhangsheng to the Hurricane Fortress to meet the Bitter King, Zhao Yuanqing.

This time, with so many Pseudo-Kings entering the Dai Kingdom, they naturally had to meet the master of this place.

Li Zhangsheng did not immediately head to the Hurricane Fortress, waiting for Zuo Qiulin at the border of the Dai Kingdom.

After the alternation of light and dark, Zuo Qiulin, disguised and wearing dark glasses, finally flew over. Beside him was a strong Demon King level Blue Dragon, which was currently struggling to carry a nearly two-hundred-meter-tall water-blue tree.

This was the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree. Li Zhangsheng sensed it slightly and discovered that the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree was a Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Root. What was rare and precious was that the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree had already entered its Mature Stage; as long as it was planted in a Secret Realm, it could greatly stabilize the Secret Realm.

Under Zuo Qiulin's direction, the Demon King level Blue Dragon circled and landed on the ground, panting heavily; it was clearly very uncomfortable from carrying the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree for so long.

"What did the higher-ups of the Tiantai Sect say?"

Li Zhangsheng was still thinking about taking the entire Tiantai Sect, so he naturally did not want the resistance within the Tiantai Sect to be too strong.

"The Master brought out the Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal and the Heavenly One True Water Gourd to trade, and with my old face added to the mix, most of the higher-ups were willing to trade. Only the Sect Master's lineage strongly opposed it."

Zuo Qiulin planned to suppress the Sect Master's lineage after returning, and it would be best to replace the Sect Master.

As the person with the greatest strength, authority, and seniority in the Tiantai Sect, it was not difficult for Zuo Qiulin to replace the Sect Master.

"You shouldn't have revealed my information, right?"

"No!"

Zuo Qiulin shook his head. Currently, Li Zhangsheng could be said to be the number one person wanted by the Langya Kingdom. Before moving the Tiantai Sect to the Dai Kingdom, he dared not reveal it to anyone, otherwise, he would be going against his own life.
