Chapter 101: Temptation
The commotion on Chunyun Island stopped, and after a while, Xue Tong received a message from Zhuang Xinyi and asked him to meet on Yanxin Island.
Zhuang Xin was tired and sluggish, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on his face.
"At the beginning of the day after tomorrow, it seems that the retreat has failed." Xue Tongxin said.
Zhuang Xinyi sighed: "Congratulations to Daoist friends for being promoted, alas, old decay is useless, and the retreat for two years has been fruitless." ”
"Don't be discouraged, come and try again."
"It's not easy to talk about, Zhuang has been preparing for five years, preparing three boxes of pills, and wants to rush through the customs again, but I don't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey."
"There's always a chance, it's man-made." Xue Tong persuaded.
Zhuang Xin took a sip of tea, and his god became serious, "I invited Xue Daoyou to come, I want to discuss one thing, Zhuang Mou has a plan to retire very early, so he doesn't care much about the friction with Wei Sheng, and now Daoyou is in the middle of the promotion, his strength is outstanding, and he has some prestige, so I will let Daoyou know how to be the name of this wooden anchor."
Xue Tong waved his hand again and again, "Xue is used to being comfortable, he really has no energy and interest in making a wooden anchor, no matter so many islanders, if the owner of Zhuang Island has no intention of continuing, he might as well discuss with Wei Sheng, he should be of great interest." ”
Xue Tong speculated that Zhuang Xinyi might want to turn the wooden anchor, take back the spirit stone, and buy medicine to rush the level.
"It's just that the relationship between Zhuang and Wei Sheng is very stiff, and he is laughed at by him for failing to rush the pass, and it is inevitable to take the opportunity to reduce the price."
"Xue is willing to coordinate from it"
Xue Tong understood Zhuang Xinyi's thoughts, he had not gone out for more than three years, and he was also interested in walking around.
……
Wei Sheng heard what he meant and said, "Well, the alliance dues are paid every five years, and Zhuang Xinyi's dues are 190,000 spirit stones, and they were just paid last year. ”
"Convert the balance, discount by 80% and deduct the name change fee of 10,000, Wei is willing to pay 110,000 spirit stones to take over."
"Zhuang Xin wants to sell it for a good price, can the owner of Wei Island give a little more, how about a nine-percent discount" Xue Tong counteroffered.
"I see that Xue Daochang's face is only 80% off, and generally it can only be turned to 7% off."
Xue Tong said that Wei Sheng promised to make a deal for 120,000 spirit stones.
The wooden anchor of the small island in the open sea is difficult to make money, such as the sea amber grass that Xue Tong saw when he first came, but it is an ordinary medicinal herb, and the boiled amber liquid is used to brew sea amber wine, and the amber wine drives away cold and dampness, because the people of Wanyu Island demand it is extremely large, and can barely make a small profit.
"Wei is thinking, Xue Daoyou is upgraded, maybe we are blessed." Wei Sheng said suddenly.
"Oh, where did Xue come from so much ability, where did he start with this," Xue Tong said in surprise.
"1,800 miles away, there is a huge island called Longshan, the island has canyons, high mountains, waterfalls and springs, which is an important source of spiritual objects for more than 20 island owners in this sea area."
"In the past 20 years, for some reason, there have been more and more deaths and injuries on the island, and gradually no one dares to go.
"Didn't the injured say the reason, could it be that a powerful demon beast was born," Xue Tong asked.
"No one can say clearly, everyone says that it is haunted, a black ghost, and the wind rolls people away." Wei Sheng said.
"How is that possible! Unless the rift in the underworld opens, there are so many evil ghosts. ”
"Yes, we don't believe it either, but there are too many people who die, so we have to believe it."
"I didn't invite the copper anchor and the silver anchor to investigate," Xue Tong felt strange.
"Longshan Island belongs to the resources of this sea area, the so-called invitation to God is easy to send God, and it is difficult to send God, and the high-level people from other regions are likely to come and not leave, and we will not give away the territory."
"Xue Daoyou has no quarrel with the world, he is happy, he is not expected to fight the idea of Longshan, Wei suddenly had the idea of asking Daoyou to investigate." Wei Sheng said.
"I'll go alone"
"There are our people at Longshan Wharf, if you are willing, I will report to Hao and Wu, and then make arrangements."
"Xue can't deal with ghosts, it's better to be too peaceful." Xue Tong waved his hand and said.
……
Xue Tong replied to Zhuang Xinyi, Zhuang Xinyi was quite satisfied, said that he would consider it, and then contact Wei Sheng.
"Okay, take you two out for fun." Xue Tong said to the bone golem and the vulture.
The bone golem immediately showed a happy look, and the vulture could not understand human speech, but when it saw the happy appearance of the bone golem, it flapped its wings and howled a few times.
In late autumn, the beautiful breeze is harmonious.
The clipper sails towards Snake Reef, a group of reefs on the blue sea, sparkling and spraying.
Xue Tong stood on top of a large reef and beckoned the bone puppet vultures to play on their own.
The vultures whirl around to hunt down the infested sea serpents, while the bone golems leap from reef to reef to keep up with the vultures.
After playing for a while, the vultures hovered high in the air, swooped down on the surface of the sea, and suddenly flapped their wings and raised their heads, turning around and gliding.
The waves on the sea surface surged, and a big blue snake jumped up, and the snake's head was lifted off the surface of the sea, chopping the waves, and chasing the vulture.
Green Snake!
Black eyes, three golden tumors on the top of the head.
Xue Tong's heart froze, and he went out like an arrow, and the vulture flapped its wings and flew high into the air.
With a flash of golden light, the adamantine arrow passed through the head of the green snake and fell into the sea.
"Well, that's right, it's just that three thousand Vajra arrows are a bit extravagant." Xue Tong picked up the soft green snake and said.
The bucket-thick green snake warrior Dacheng, the vultures pecked the snake gall and a pair of snake eyes, drank a few mouthfuls of blood, and swallowed a little snake indiscriminately and lost interest.
Xue Tong returned home, refined 100 ordinary iron arrows, and took the vulture bone puppet to kill snakes and birds on the snake reef to improve the combat power of the spirit pet.
A half has passed.
Zhuang Xinyi sent a message and informed the ten queens that they would announce their retirement, and at that time, Yanxin Island would hold a banquet, and Xue Tong would be sure to appreciate it.
Nearly 30 distinguished guests came to Yanxin Island, and three iron anchors, Hao Xinghuai, Wu Qiang, and Ling Haoying, also came.
Ling Haoying is a forty-year-old beauty, her face is as cold as frost, she is not smiling, she thinks that if a woman can have such an achievement, she must be difficult all the way, and she is outstanding.
Wu Qiang, who is the weakest in cultivation, has a blessed face, a slightly fat physique, and wears gold and silver, more like a big businessman.
"I've seen three iron anchor island owners" Xue Tong was very polite.
"Xue Daoyou, how can you be so polite, come, come, sit!" Wu Qiang greeted.
Hao Xinghuai bowed his head, and Ling Haoying swept his eyes without saying a word.
Zhuang Xinyi's face was full of rare smiles, the haze was gone, he negotiated with Wei Sheng's terms, Wei paid off the spirit stone at one time, and he took Cheng Zhong to leave the island after the third time, and his subordinates all belonged to Wei Sheng.
Wei Sheng is naturally also the protagonist of the banquet, he received Zhuangxin's 147 islands, plus the territory that Sun Tongren had previously shared, his strength expanded rapidly, maybe next time the Wandao Alliance will remember him as an iron anchor, and allow him to buy a panacea at the headquarters of the inland island alliance.
But Wei Sheng was more concerned about Longshan Island, and he couldn't wait to chat after the banquet.
The people left in the hall are the more famous people in this area.
"Everyone, in the past, everyone often couldn't find out the strange things on Longshan Island because of suspicion, Xue Daoyou has been here for four years, and everyone has an understanding of it, but now it's better for Xue Daoyou to lead the team to find out what is going on," Wei Sheng proposed.
"Xue can't take on this big responsibility, and now he came to Yanxin in order to participate in the retirement banquet of the owner of Zhuang Island." Xue immediately resigned.
Ling Haoying said rarely: "I heard Wei Sheng say that someone is willing to go to Longshan, so he moved to Yanxin, is he happy in vain?"
"Xue Daoyou took people deep into Longshan, and after finding out, I will thank you again, and then jointly recommend Daoyou to be an iron anchor, is it possible to do so" Hao Xinghuai was prepared and persuaded.
Xue informed the iron anchor of the benefits, the spirit material elixir of the Wandao Alliance, at least the iron anchor is required, and he is eligible to buy, he has a lot of spirit stones, and buying spiritual objects is very confusing to him.
With a letter of recommendation, he can go to the inland and pay for registration, if he only wants to occupy no land, he can afford 10,000 spirit stones a year.
"Oh, that's what the other island owners mean," Xue Tong asked loosely.
"Wu discussed it with Brother Hao, and that's what it means." Wu Qiang took the lead in saying.
Ling Haoying's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said, "This seat has no objection. ”
He Dachun and other wooden anchors agreed.
"Okay, Xue will go alone and catch the demon and come back on an errand."
Xue Tong proposed to explore alone, and the islands sent people to follow in vain, and he couldn't take responsibility for the problem.
"You collect a pass from Longshan, and then pat the shares and leave, whose spiritual objects are we lost," Ling Haoying said coldly.
"Are there a lot of treasures in Longshan, why don't you go to pick Xue Tong in person, don't covet the spiritual things of Longshan, the things you pick belong to you, if you don't believe me, there is no way."
"Let's talk about it," Xue Tong said and left the hall.
Half an hour passed, and Wei Shengxing rushed to inform him that the island owners had reached a consensus and agreed to Xue Tong's conditions.
Xue Tong obtained a map showing the places where the survivors of the islands had found the ghosts over the years.
……
Zhuang Xinyi was about to go inland, and Xue Tong felt that he had no need to hide it and asked about it.
More than 300,000 square miles of Longshan Island, most of the spiritual creatures and monsters are martial arts disciples, and the islands send people to collect all the year round.
"The ghost is haunting, and the owner of Zhuang Island has and advice," Xue Tong asked.
"Zhuang never believed it, and suspected that outsiders were pretending to be ghosts."
"The matter of the dead man, before Xue came, it was more serious"
"Well, it has deteriorated since about fifteen years ago."
"There are losses on all the islands," Xue Tong asked.
"Well, the loss of the four iron anchors is about the same, Sun Tongren has been a fellow Daoist..., and the other three are present today." Zhuang Xinyi said.
……
Chunyun Island.
"Xiuwu always has to go out on adventures, it doesn't seem bad to go to Longshan alone, the area of Longshan is close to Yunxiao Sect, and few people have patronized it in the past ten years, maybe there are really treasures."
"The level of martial artists in this sea area is not high, it is good to win the iron anchor, there are too many masters in another place, and they will fall into a battle again."
Xue Tong placed a stack of perfect-level Thunder Burst Bead Talismans in the bone golem's bracelet, as well as several sticky arrays and seven spin array talismans, the bone golem was upgraded for two years, the material was greatly improved, it grew rapidly, and it threw out an instant burst of mana, which was able to "ignite" these three talismans.
He carefully inspected the contents of his sleeve pockets, and set off with the Xiguang Array Disk.
The map Hao Xinghuai gave him showed that the dead were mostly concentrated in twelve areas, and Hao Xinghuai asked to bring back at least the plants or soil and rocks unique to the ten districts, and the task was completed when he returned after staying on the island for three months.
