Chapter 58: Princess, Are You Missing a Pendant on Your Thigh?
The massive corpse of the Demon Snake King was transported out of the cave and placed on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the huge body of the Demon Snake King, Li Pingbo was mixed with joy.
After all, the Demon Snake King was killed by the strange detachment sent by Li Pingbo, and it was the team he sent who occupied Snake Mountain. Therefore, the result of this battle also proved Li Pingbo's ability, except for the initial negligence that caused the assassins to infiltrate, Li Pingbo did not make too many mistakes.
It was Zhao Wuji, a middle-level monk of Jindan who was sent by the Zhongzhou General Association to send reinforcements, who was seriously injured by the Demon Snake King, and the Zhongzhou General Association naturally couldn't blame Li Pingbo anymore.
Therefore, his position as the chief treasurer of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce is secure, and the hunting of the beast spirit realm will continue under his control.
But what made Li Pingbo unhappy was that Tiejianmen also made great contributions to this battle and became the biggest beneficiary.
The four monks in the late stage of foundation building who belonged to the Chamber of Commerce all died at the hands of the Demon Snake King, but the four people of the Iron Sword Gate were unscathed, Li Pingbo had to suspect what was in it, but with the princess Ji Xian'er of the Great Zhou Dynasty among them, he couldn't say anything more even if he was suspicious, and he didn't dare to make things difficult for the Iron Sword Gate, after all, the little girl in the Iron Sword Gate was screaming a fairy sister, and it seemed that she had a good relationship with the princess.
According to the rules of hunting in the other world, as long as the harvest is paid proportionally after the hunt, the monks' harvest belongs to themselves. This also means that the body of the Demon Snake King who was killed should belong to the Iron Sword Gate, and at least half of it belongs to the Iron Sword Gate, because the Chamber of Commerce also had four late-stage foundation building monks who participated in the battle and died tragically.
However, this Demon Snake King is a powerful existence that has formed a demon pill, and his body is the best material for temple sacrifices. As long as the corpse of the Demon Snake King is pulled to the Wuzhou Temple, the sacrifice can be carried out, so that you can get a reward from the fairy world, maybe it is the highest grade exercise, maybe it is a powerful spiritual weapon, or even a spirit pill that increases your life, or a good coordinate of the other world.
So such a treasure, how can Li Pingbo be willing to give it to the Iron Sword Gate, even if it is half of it.
Therefore, Li Pingbo privately discussed with Zhang Xu and was willing to buy the corpse of the Demon Snake King from the Iron Sword Gate. After bargaining, the two sides reached a deal at the price of one barrier-breaking pill and ten spirit gathering pills.
After a series of battles, Zhang Xu deeply understood the role of a Jindan monk, far from being comparable to ten or twenty foundation building monks. If the Iron Sword Gate wants to develop and grow, a strong combat power like Jin Dan is indispensable.
Although Xiong Xian has some problems, his loyalty to the Iron Sword Gate is unquestionable, and he is also the most likely person to form a golden pill in the Iron Sword Gate at present.
As a leader, Zhang Xu has to consider the interests of the entire sect and the improvement of the strength of the entire sect.
During the negotiations, Zhang Xu took the opportunity to ask for a waiver of the 10% share that Tiejianmen should pay, but Li Pingbo refused. Li Pingbo's reason for refusal is above board, the rules of hunting in the other world are set by the General Association of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, and it has been a rule for thousands of years for those who participate in the hunt to pay the harvest proportionally, and he has no right to overturn this rule as the chief treasurer of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Xu can only give up.
As soon as the hunt was announced, Jindan Archmage Lu Shanhe was leading his disciples to set up a light gate formation in Snake Mountain, and when the formation was set up and the light gate was reopened, it was the moment when the hunt ended.
Although it only occupies this mountain forest and the grassland next to it, it is also a large area of thousands of miles, and this territory needs a period of time to digest. Only after the existing territory has been digested will the next stage of hunting begin, but that may be a year or two or even years away.
The powerful demon beasts that formed the Demon Pill, the Demon Snake King and the Eagle Vulture King, have been killed, and there are no more powerful and difficult demon beasts in this area, and the rest of the time is the time of harvest. This primeval area, which has never been set foot in by humans, is full of natural treasures, and such interests will naturally not be willing to fall into the hands of others. Therefore, after the Light Gate is set up, the various factions and scattered cultivators must leave the Beast Spirit Realm.
Of course, it's okay not to leave, but I don't know when the light door will open again, and if you leave then, you will face a huge toll fee. The beast spirit world is the territory of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, and it is so easy to take advantage of the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, during the period when the Light Gate was reopened, it was the last moment for the disciples and cultivators of all sects to make a fortune. Most of the people left Snake Mountain and entered the mountains and forests, attacking demon beasts in search of spirit grass, and they sacrificed their lives to fight for this moment!
When the conquest was over, it was natural to judge the rewards for meritorious deeds, and the monks of the Chamber of Commerce were busy all day long, counting the merits of each monk and calculating the rewards they deserved. It is easy for the cultivators to say that their reward is half of what they have gained, and they do not need another reward. But the disciples of each sect are different, the Chamber of Commerce has a word first, and will give additional rewards to the sects that have made meritorious contributions, and the highest reward is a spiritual land.
Of course, the first credit is undoubtedly the Iron Sword Gate, and no one can raise any objections to this. After all, the Iron Sword Gate first captured the Lonely Mountain, and then cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce to destroy the Demon Snake King and defeat the Snake Mountain, and the two spiritual lands have the credit of the Iron Sword Gate, which is incomparable to other sects. Therefore, it has become a foregone conclusion that the Iron Sword Gate will obtain a piece of spiritual land.
After knowing this result, Elder Xiong Xian and Zhu Kun were full of emotion, they never expected that in just a few months, the Iron Sword Sect would survive from the situation of being on the verge of destruction. With the spiritual land, there is the foundation of the sect, and it is no longer a lonely ghost.
Little Lori Lin Xi has already cried so much that this child is the most excited and happy, because with the Spirit Metro Sword Gate, there is a home!
After careful consideration, Li Pingbo gave Tiejianmen two choices, choosing whether to go to Lonely Mountain or the original Tiejian Villa.
In terms of wheel quality, the Lonely Mountain Spirit Land should be above the Iron Sword Villa, because the scale of the Lonely Mountain Spirit Land is far larger than the Iron Sword Mountain Villa, and the quality of the spiritual veins is also good, and it also covers the grassland within a radius of thousands of miles. But Gushan is in the beast spirit world, and the light gate in and out of the beast spirit world is in the hands of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, from the elder Xiong Xian Zhu Kun to Feng Ping Ma Chuang, who had newly joined the Iron Sword Gate, they unanimously agreed to choose to return to the Iron Sword Villa.
Although the Iron Sword Villa is just an ordinary spiritual land, it is the Flying Yellow Realm, and the Flying Yellow Realm is the head of the total realm. The Iron Sword Sect is an initial sect, how can it become a vassal of the Chamber of Commerce?
As for the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, he is also willing to return the Iron Sword Villa to the Iron Sword Gate, after all, the Iron Sword Villa is not as good as the Lonely Mountain, and Li Pingbo is not willing to insert the nail of the Iron Sword Gate into his beast spirit world. With the initial sect as a vassal, it is not good to spread it, and the big factions such as the Royal Beast Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect have even more reason to attack the Chamber of Commerce, saying that the Chamber of Commerce wants to annex the initial sect in the world.
So the reward was thus determined, as the first hero of the hunt, their Iron Sword Villa was retrieved by the Iron Sword Gate!
At the top of Snake Mountain, Ji Xian'er stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the primitive and magnificent scenery in the distance, and a golden-feathered wild goose stood beside her, pecking at her wings from time to time with her iron beak.
Next to the golden feather goose, a small eagle with yellow feathers stood cowering, trying to squeeze the golden feather goose from time to time.
Little Lori Lin Xijiao smiled, threw the meat strips to the ground from time to time, and Xiaoying Ah Huang picked up the meat strips from the ground and swallowed them vigorously.
It was very selfless, and after eating two, he picked up one and put it next to the golden feather goose, and the golden feather goose just glanced at it, and then raised its proud neck and disdained the meat strips. Ah Huang "chirped" and touched the leg of the golden feather goose with his mouth, perhaps annoyed by it, the golden feather goose suddenly spread its wings and flew down the cliff, soaring in the air.
Looking at the soaring golden feather eagle with envy, Ah Huang suddenly rushed towards the cliff.
"Ah Huang, come back quickly, you can't fly yet!" Lin Xi shouted in panic. saw Ah Huang rushing to the edge of the cliff without looking back, and then rushed over the cliff and fell down.
"Ah Huang!" Lin Xi shouted in panic.
"Don't worry!" Ji Xian'er hugged Little Lori's shoulders, "You can't die." ”
Sure enough, I saw Ah Huang suddenly spread his wings after falling down for a distance, and began to fly clumsily, and then flew more and more skillfully, flew to the top of the mountain, hovering and flying in the air.
"Brother in charge, Ah Huang will fly!" Lin Xi said in surprise to Zhang Xu, who had climbed to the top of the mountain.
"Yes, this stupid Ah Huang has learned to fly after all. Zhang Xu said with a smile.
"Hmph, Ah Huang is not stupid!" Lin Xi rolled his eyes at Zhang Xu and said unhappily.
"The hunt is over, Your Royal Highness Princess, do you want to stay in this beast spirit world or go back to Zhongzhou?" Standing beside Ji Xian'er, smelling the attractive body fragrance and looking at the beautiful face, Zhang Xu asked softly.
Ji Xian'er frowned slightly, but didn't try to distance herself, and said lightly: "Does this have anything to do with you?"
Zhang Xu said with a smile: "Ah Xi was accepted as a disciple by Master Lu, so I will go back to Zhongzhou with him, if you also go back to Zhongzhou, princess, I hope you can take care of Ah Xi." ”
Ji Xian'er said: "Ah Xi and I have already fallen in love, you don't need to say this." ”
She was silent for a moment and finally couldn't help but say: "Master Lu is also a famous formation master in the entire Great Zhou, except for a few retired Yuan Infants, the monks of the Jindan period may not be able to compare with him in the formation." It has always been others who beg to be taught by Master Lu, and it is the first time I have heard that Master Lu has taken a fancy to him but has to put forward conditions before he is willing to apprentice. ”
Listening to Lu Shanhe talk about Lin Xi's apprenticeship, Ji Xian'er couldn't help but know Zhang Xu's shamelessness again.
"You know that, too. Zhang Xu said with a smile, "No way, who made the strength of the Iron Sword Gate poor, there is no backer and can only be bullied, take this Beast Spirit Realm as an example, first attacked the Lonely Mountain, and then was sent to the Snake Mountain to fight with the Demon Snake King, if it weren't for good luck, my Iron Sword Gate would have been destroyed a long time ago." So for the sake of the future of the Iron Sword Gate, I can only find a thigh hug. ”
Seeing that Zhang Xu admitted it directly without quibbling, Ji Xian'er had nothing to say, so she could only snort.
"Your Royal Highness Princess," Zhang Xu took a few steps forward, almost approaching Ji Xian'er's delicate body, "Are you missing a pendant on your thigh?"
Ji Xian'er took a step back: "Do you know that it's rude for you to be so close?
Zhang Xu smiled and said: "Princess, let's fight side by side, with comradeship, and share the spoils together, you are the princess of Da Zhou, and your status in Da Zhou is extremely respected, I want to hold your thighs firmly and take refuge under your door, I don't know if you are willing to accept it?"
Ji Xian'er was a little confused, there were many monks in the world who wanted to join her, but there had never been such an understatement as Zhang Xu, and looking at Zhang Xu's squinting appearance, where did he want to take refuge, he was obviously teasing himself! Ji Xian'er suddenly became embarrassed.
There are many monks in the world who admire Ji Xian'er, or fall in love with her beauty, or fall in love with her status as a princess. But all the male cultivators were respectful when they saw her, for fear of any rudeness. No one has ever been like Zhang Xu, who looks skinless and faceless, and almost hangs a lascivious scoundrel on his face. Faced with this situation, she didn't know what to do for a while. I wanted to put on a princess scold him, but I knew that it was probably useless to scold, could I still draw a sword and kill him?
So he could only snort coldly: "You are too ugly, you will lose the people of my princess's mansion, forget it." “
Is this an ugly refusal? Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this cold princess to also make a joke.
"Haha, am I ugly? Ah Xi, do you tell the princess that I'm ugly?"
Lin Xi just pursed his lips and smiled, and refused to say more.
Just when Zhang Xu wanted to continue to tease Ji Xian'er for a few words, he climbed the cliff alone.
"Princess, I've found you. Lu Feiyang shouted happily, and then he was stunned for a moment, because he saw that Ji Xian'er and Zhang Xu were standing so close to each other, they were simply standing side by side.
A thick fire of jealousy burned in Lu Feiyang's heart, he had known Ji Xian'er for so long, and he had never seen her say anything to any man, let alone stand so close.
And now Princess Yueyao, who is arrogant and reserved and as cold as frost, actually stands side by side with an ordinary male cultivator and talks very happily!
What the hell is going on, Lu Feiyang doesn't dare to think about it, he only knows that this bastard in front of him is his great enemy!
Stroking the placket of his clothes, revealing what he thought was the most charming smile, Lu Feiyang walked up to Ji Xian'er, "Princess, who is this?"
"Zhang Xu, the head of the Iron Sword Gate, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Zhang Xu said with a smile, the strong hostility revealed from the other party's eyes made Zhang Xu feel funny, it seems that this is the snake spirit princess, one of the most seekers, and regards herself as a rival in love.
The head of the Iron Sword Sect? Lu Feiyang shook his head slightly, what kind of garbage sect has never heard of.
didn't look at Zhang Xu, his eyes were only on Ji Xian'er, and he said casually: "Help Lu Feiyang in Xiadahe." ”
Zhang Xu smiled slightly, he didn't care about this arrogant attitude, what about the Dahe Gang, what about the Zhongzhou Gate Sect?
Glancing at the two of them slightly, Ji Xian'er took the demeanor of the two of them in her eyes, and suddenly had the idea of playing tricks in her heart. Then he said to Lu Feiyang: "Lu Feiyang, you don't know yet, although Zhang Zhangmen is young, he is the head of the initial sect, he is known as the first talent in Wuzhou, just in the hunt, Zhang Zhangmen led the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect to conquer the lonely mountain first, and then rushed to the snake mountain to kill the demon snake king, and made a great achievement, such a young talent has never been seen in this palace!"
As soon as the words came out, Lu Feiyang's heart burned with jealousy, and his eyes were full of strong killing intent when he looked at Zhang Xu!
Zhang Xu secretly scolded his mother, this little girl's skin is really not a thing, Lao Tzu just laughed at you a few words, and he created a love rival for Lao Tzu!
