He shrugged his shoulders and grabbed the pouch in his hand. Then Zong Shou looked towards Yiren with an asking gaze whilst smiling.

The reverse seed cauldron technique was good for him, but it was better to ask his fiancée first for such matters.

Her face was originally really serious. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. She shifted away, “I already said that if you have the ability, I wouldn’t care if you find 8 or 10 girls.”

She said she didn’t care but her hand wrapped around Zong Shou’s waist. Then she hesitated, asking apprehensively,”…I recognize her. The top talent of Seven Spirit Sect. She had once visited my sect. In my generation, no one can defeat her. At the time, she seemed arrogant, like she was above all. I want to see her make a mistake on you. However, this kind of goes again benevolence righteousness. I’m not willing for her to treat you as a tool. I’m so conflicted…”

Zong Shou clicked his tongue and didn’t comment, in the end, he decided to keep the pouch.

The entire Psychic Island was mostly a market. The place was too small, so the streets were small too. It was filled with people everywhere, and it was cramped. Zong Shou brought a group of people and casually strolled within. He didn’t have the mind to visit those small shops and didn’t have time to see those vendors. Instead, he rushed to the few merchant stores that especially sold spiritual artifacts.

In Donglin Cloud Continent, although the Kongqi Sect was most famous for crafting weapons and they indeed had their unique points, but sects like Lingyun Sect, Seven Spirit Sect which was the top of the 19 spiritual houses also had pretty good artifact crafting legacies.

On this Psychic Island, there were tens of large sects who ran their businesses here.

However, just as Zong Shou was prepared to enter the Seven Spirit Treasure Hall belonging to Seven Spirit Sect, at the corner of his eye, he gazed upon a person who was looking over, filled with grievances.

His lips pursed as he turned his legs and walked into another seven-story building.

When he walked to the top floor, the first thing he saw was an old friend of his.

“Isn’t it Deacon Qiao? Long-time no see, have you been good recently?”

Standing here was the Kongqi Sect outer sect deacon, Qiao Han. When he looked at Zong Shou, his face instantly turned green, saying roughly, “It isn’t Deacon but shopkeeper! Why did City lord Zong come here? If you want to do a deal, you can ask your subordinates to discuss with me. I, Qiao Han swear that I’ll never do business with you Zong Shou in my life.”

Zong Shou’s brows raised, shopkeeper? So he got demoted. No wonder he was so angry.

He smiled slightly, walking towards Qiao Han without a care,” Managing goods naturally has earnings and losses, how can you blame me? Although you lost a lot previously a few days ago didn’t you earn much from me? Ten thousand grade 2 spiritual arrows you sold them for 5 thousand grade 4 beast crystals. A similar price could buy five times the amount usually…”

Qiao Han scoffed coldly, not accepting it, “8 thousand grade 2 fire lightning arrows, 6 thousand intense ice arrows. To be able to be equipped with those 300 three armed spiritual crossbows and done in 10 days, only my Kongqi Sect can achieve that!”

“So it wasn’t a loss to sell those three armed spiritual crossbows to me. If I was doing this business, I would have sold the crossbows for cheaper. Just by selling the arrows I would earn enough.”

Qiao Han’s expression froze up, his eyes filled with thought. Chuxue and Hu Zhongyuan at the side exchanged glances and thought to themselves that poor person had been bluffed by their young master.

Following which Zong Shou said leisurely,” has your Kongqi Sect ever crafted the energy destroying crossbow?”

Qiao Han’s heart jolted, deep inside he was annoyed by being confused by what Zong Shou said. However, his tone wasn’t as cold as before.

“Energy destroying crossbow? Naturally, we have. It is to suppress the beast flood below so many sects will buy it. I have 100 here but the power of it is too strong, one-shot takes at least 1 grade 6 beast crystal. Even a large sect like Lingyun Sect can’t afford it. Why does the city lord need it?”

He knew that this new Monster king was smart, hence he didn’t need to hide anything in his words.

Suddenly Qiao Han thought back to the 4 thousand cloud ships outside of Psychic Island. He couldn’t help but take in a cold breath, “City lord please think twice! We prohibit private wars beneath the cloud ocean or the cloud world sects will combine and attack!”

Other people might not be able to afford it, but Zong Shou who was so rich definitely could.

Chuxue and the others behind their pupils dilated, one grade 6 beast crystal which was 100 grade 4 beast crystals. That’s a third of usual Gantian mountain income…

“What is big brother Qiao thinking? I’m buying these just to deal with the beasts below.”

Zong Shou’s smile was extremely pure with no evil, a weird glow flashing in his eyes, “4 thousand three-arm spiritual crossbows sell me at a low price! I will pre-order 1 million grade 2 spiritual arrows. Total of 200 thousand grade 4 beast crystals, completing the deal within 2 years! Is this deal enough to let brother Qiao become a deacon once more?”

Qiao Han’s expression moved slightly. If he managed to do this deal, not mentioning outer sect deacon, even outer sect elder was possible.

This deal was far from just 200 thousand grade 4 beast crystals. The sale of 4 thousand three armed spiritual crossbows meant that if Gantian Mountain needed to buy spiritual arrows, apart from Kongqi Sect, there was no other choice.

Zong Shou was good at observing the situation and knew that he succeeded. His handsome face gave out a devil-like smile, “Apart from that I need to buy some energy destroying crossbows, as many as you have. Your Kongqi Sect shouldn’t be the only one here with it. Deacon Qiao please help me purchase it. Naturally, I will need you to keep it a secret.”

This time Qiao Han only slightly hesitated before his brows relaxed, “deal! I will sell them to you at market price, each one for 10 grade 6 beast crystals. I won’t take advantage of you but you can forget about getting any discounts…”

Chuxue and the others held their breath. One energy destroying crossbow was a thousand grade 4 beast crystals. One hundred was 100 thousand. What thing was that to be so expensive? With Zong Shou’s personality, he was willing?

Zong Shou shook his head and walked in front of a weapon rack and took a sword.

What a coincidence. it was another soul weapon but the lightning winged Yang snake within was grade 6. Which meant that when it was alive it was at least above grade 7.

He casually kept this sword into his small heaven and earth-bag. He smiled, firmly saying, “I don’t need any discount. However, I need to buy some things to misdirect people. Why not give me this sword as a gift?”

…

A total of 800 energy destroying crossbows was sent to Zong Shou’s ship that day.

Who knows how Qiao Han did it, but the matter was discrete. The entire Psychic Island didn’t make a single sound. As for those cloud ships belonging to Taoyun, Blazing Flame and Yunxia, there was no abnormal behavior at all.

All the energy destroying crossbow was called a crossbow, but it was not related at all.

It was 120 feet long, close to 5 feet diameter, looking like pure black cannon tube.

On it, there were many complicated spiritual formations and behind, there was a hole to shove in beast crystals.

It could turn the essence energy within a grade 6 beast crystal directly into highly dense destructive spiritual energy to strikeout. This is was why it was called energy destroying.

The strength of it caused even grade 7 experts to be wary.

It was also really simple to equip, it had its base so one just needed to fasten it to the deck.

However, this item and the three armed spiritual crossbows had its pros and cons. The biggest weakness of this would be that the speed it converts to spiritual energy and fires was really slow. Those ascended experts and grade 7 beasts would be long gone. Even day wandering spirit masters would have enough time to switch their altar position.

Although the three armed spiritual crossbow’s killing strength was weak, it was extremely accurate. If it was equipped with grade 5 spiritual arrows, it’s strength would even exceed that of the energy destroying crossbow.

With this time in hand, along with the deposit for the million spiritual arrows, Zong Shou paid a total of a hundred grade 7 beast crystals.

However, this time he didn’t feel heart pained, thinking of it as an investment. If he was going to do it, he was going to do a big one to earn it all back.

On that night, the 40 Lingyun Sect inner sect disciples all boarded.

Zong Shou originally thought he would casually arrange some people.

However, in the end, there were 40 grade 4 and above experts. There were even 6 martial ancestor realm ones, who were extremely young, surprising him.

The one leading was a person known as Jing Tao. A spirit master at the Return To Sun realm who didn’t speak or smile. After he boarded, he didn’t treat Zong Shou courteously but also didn’t create any trouble.

On the second day, the cloud ships of Gantian mountain and Xuan Mountain set off together. A thousand warships and 800 merchant ships all rode towards the cloud ocean whirlpool ladder. Out of the merchant ships, half came from Xuan Mountain City.

The so-called cloud ocean whirlpool ladder was just a giant whirlpool. If warships followed the external part of it, they could drive down the cloud ocean.

When they went down, it didn’t use any energy, but what was difficult was when they came back up. This is why they needed completed floating spiritual talismans and large amounts of beast crystals.

The entire process was smooth. The only annoying thing was that the fleet of the 3 cities was like a tail following them, unable to be gotten rid of.

When they arrived beneath the cloud ocean, the scenes in front of them changed. The entire region was dark.

The cloud ocean was boundless and beautiful whilst this region was a calamity.

All light was covered, making it extremely dark. Everywhere spread a black colored fog. If it wasn’t for there being enough spirit masters on each ship using spells to illuminate, they wouldn’t be able to see anything.

The plants that grew here were all weird shaped. The beasts they occasionally saw gave out a red glow in their eyes, extremely fierce and sharp.

It wasn’t until the 1800 cloud ships came down did Zong Shou give his first order, “Go south! Towards the Hailing plains…”
