On the boat.
Xu Zhuang thought for a moment, flicked his finger, and a little spiritual light flew out, turning into a tangible and colorless cover, faintly covering the hull of the ship, and then disappeared.
After doing all this, Xu Zhuang took out the jade box and handed it to Shi Xianzi and said, "Miss Shi, you said earlier that the Dragon Pearl is related to the success of your plan. Now that you have successfully photographed this object, will you keep it for yourself?"
Fairy Shi raised her slender hand, but had no intention of taking it. Instead, she gently pushed the jade box back and said, "Please, sir, keep it for now. It will be useful later."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang said thoughtfully, "It seems that the girl has already made plans. Can you tell me something?"
Shi Xianzi covered her lips and smiled softly: "Just wait patiently."
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang raised his brows and said with a hint of a smile, "Miss, could it be that the person you are waiting for is the person who bid with me just now?"
Fairy Shi's beautiful eyes showed surprise: "How did the young master guess it?"
At this moment, Xu Zhuang finally saw through some of the fog, with a faint smile on his face and said, "That man has been following our ship for a long time."
"What?" It turns out that the barrier set up by Xu Zhuang has blocked other people's perception of the inside and outside.
Xu Zhuang pointed at the table with his index finger and said with a smile, "Would you like to invite him on board for a talk?"
Fairy Shi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with me."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, stood up, and with a snap of his fingers, broke the cover hidden around the ship's hull, and said loudly: "Why are you two fellow Taoists following us all the way? Why don't you show up and tell us."
Xu Shi did not expect Xu Zhuang's directness. There was silence in the air for a moment, but Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry and waited quietly with his hands behind his hands.
Sure enough, within a few breaths, there was a sudden sound from the bead curtain. One person opened the bead curtain and stood there motionless. Then another person calmly entered the boat. The former followed him and lowered the bead curtain. These two people were the master and servant who bid for the dragon beads with Xu Zhuang in the previous treasure meeting.
As soon as the young man entered the boat, his eyes immediately fell on Xu Zhuang's face and said: "Xuzhuang!"
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang said calmly, "It seems that fellow Taoist already knows my identity, but I haven't asked you yet. How do you call me fellow Taoist?"
The young man took a deep look at Xu Zhuang, glanced around, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Ji. The news from the servants flashed in his mind: Tai Su's true biography, the master of Peng Xuan Pavilion... Pressing down the impatience in his heart, the young man said lightly : "Ao Hai."
Hearing this name, Zhang Ji's brows jumped and he glanced at Xu Zhuang. Xu Zhuang's expression remained unchanged and he said naturally: "It turns out to be Brother Ao. I wonder why my friend followed me all the way?"
"..." Ao Hai was silent for a moment and said bluntly: "I want you to give me the dragon ball. No matter what price you want, we can negotiate."
There is no way to negotiate like this in this world. Hearing this, Xu Zhuang smiled and said, "Oh? But just now, fellow Taoist Taoist, you lost to me in the bidding, so how can you pay a higher price?"
Ao Hai tilted his head to signal, and the servant immediately took out several small boxes from his collar, put them on the table and opened them one by one. Immediately, the sun shined brightly on the boat, revealing the contents: thousand-year-old blood coral, seabed Divine iron, Ren water, the essence of sunflower water...all of them can be called rare treasures.
At this time, Ao Hai said: "How? What about the Three Mountain Immortal Treasures, how much can these things be offset?" As he spoke, he couldn't help showing a condescending tone, and said arrogantly: "As long as you are willing to give up the dragon beads, these things, Also, I will give you the amount I reported just now at the Caibao meeting."
As if he was afraid that Xu Zhuang wouldn't believe it, he gestured to his servants, took out about ten immortal treasures from three mountains from his pocket, and threw them on the table, piling them up.
The price given by Ao Hai is not high. The rare treasures on this case alone are not worth as much as a forbidden magic weapon. What's more, he also gave fifteen thousand three mountains. The number of immortal treasures. As long as Xu Zhuang does this business, he can make a lot of money.
However, no amount of money could sway Xu Zhuang's idea, but Xu Zhuang did not reject it in a hurry. He didn't know what kind of elixir was being sold in the gourd by the witch next to him?
Xu Zhuang tapped his index finger on the table, looking like he was thinking.
Ao Hai raised the corner of his mouth proudly and urged: "How about it? With such a price, why do you need to hesitate?"
At this moment, Shi Xianzi frowned, suddenly raised a catkin, placed it on the back of Xu Zhuang's palm, and said softly: "Xu Lang, didn't you say that this dragon ball is a gift to me?"
Xu Zhuang's eyelids twitched and he looked sideways. The enchantress was looking at Xu Zhuang. The autumn water was full of tenderness and sweetness, as if she was jealous of her lover.
Their eyes met and passed by each other. Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised and said, "Fellow Taoist, you have also seen it. It is not a question of your price. It is just that I have promised this dragon ball."
Ao Hai's proud look disappeared immediately, his brows knitted together, and he said in a deep voice: "Xuzhuang, if you accept these treasures from me, what precious gifts can't you buy? I advise you not to be ignorant of promotion. In this East China Sea, take If you take the Dragon Ball, you will offend the Dragon Palace to death, do you think you can get away with it?"
As soon as these words came out, the conversation was over. Although Xu Zhuang was not irritated, he also suppressed the smile on his face. If he was not actually in charge here, he would have refused.
Just listen to Shi Xianzi said: "This is not a worry for fellow Taoist. Xu Lang bought the dragon ball and gave it to me. Not only will it not offend the Dragon Palace, but it will also make the Dragon Palace grateful."
Ao Hai sneered: "Oh? I didn't know that there was such a reason."
Fairy Shi smiled and said: "I have a good friend who is a demon prince who has received the Dragon Palace Talisman. You said that if I ask this friend of mine to take me and Xu Lang to offer beads to the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Palace will still blame us. What?"
Speaking of this, Fairy Shi became very energetic. She held Xu Zhuang's palm with both hands and said affectionately: "Mr. Xu, since we met, we have traveled all over the land of Shenzhou and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. Now that we have arrived in the East China Sea, we have another opportunity. A trip to the Undersea Dragon Palace... the slave family is really happy."
Xu Zhuang looked at the good show sung by this enchantress and could not see any abnormalities. However, he felt her exerting a slight force in his palms and suddenly smiled and said: "As long as you are happy, everything you pay will be worth it."
Looking at the two people's faces, Zhang Ji couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He hurriedly picked up the drink in his hand and drank it down in one gulp.
Ao Hai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha!"
Fairy Shi frowned and said, "Why do fellow Taoists laugh?"
Ao Hai said proudly: "You want to see the beautiful scenery of the Dragon Palace? Why bother? Just bring the dragon beads and I will take you to the Dragon Palace!"
"Oh?" Shi Xianzi said in surprise, "Dare you ask my friend...?"
Ao Hai relied on his status and did not answer. The servant said wisely: "My Highness is the True Dragon Lord, and so is His Highness the Sixth Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea."
Fairy Shi said in surprise: "What? Fellow Taoist...is it really the Crown Prince of Dragon Palace in person?"
Ao Hai frowned and suddenly moved slightly. On his forehead, two dragon horns like glass appeared. His temperament also changed, revealing a noble and majestic temperament. He said impatiently: "This can be regarded as proof. What?"
"It counts, of course it counts." Shi Xianzi shook Xu Zhuang's hand and said excitedly: "Xu Lang, why don't we just return the dragon ball to the Sixth Prince?"
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "Of course I have no objection, but..." Xu Zhuang took out another jade box from his sleeve and hesitated: "What if fellow Taoist accepts the dragon beads and breaks his promise?"
"Hmph, I, the True Dragon Lord Ao Hai, have kept my word, so there is no reason to break my promise." Ao Hai said coldly: "If you are unwilling to trust me, I can take you to the Dragon Palace first, and then you can return the dragon ball."
"That's not necessary." Xu Zhuang said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist has said this, Xu will not be ignorant of the compliment. Please accept this dragon ball." As he spoke, he put the jade box on the table. Push out gently.
"Okay! Xu Zhuang, you are a wise man." Ao Hai was not polite and grabbed the jade box directly without opening it. He glanced at it and knew that it was the dragon ball. His expression finally calmed down, "This time I came to Pengxuan Pavilion. The Dragon Ball was unexpectedly found in the underworld, I will rush back to the Dragon Palace as soon as possible, maybe you two will set off immediately?"
Xu Zhuang looked back at Fairy Shi and saw her obedient look, and said thoughtfully: "It's already late today, and I didn't make any plans to leave early. Can I leave again tomorrow?"
Ao Hai frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Okay! Xiao Si!"
The servant suddenly heard Ao Hai's call and responded with excitement: "Your Highness!"
Ao Hai stood up and said: "I will return to the Dragon Palace first. You will wait for them at the port early tomorrow morning."
When the servant saw him getting up, he quickly retreated to the door, raised the bead curtain, and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Xu Zhuang raised his brows, pointed at the case and said, "Fellow Taoist, since we have made another deal, please take back these treasures."
Ao Hai walked out of the door without looking back, and said disdainfully: "There is no reason to take back the things I Ao Hai gave away. These can still be considered as buying back the dragon beads with you." The servant followed closely, and the bead curtain fell, and within a moment, There was no movement outside.
Xu Zhuang looked back and said with a smile: "This 'Prince' is very generous."
After the master and servant Ao Hai left this place, Fairy Shi suddenly withdrew her hand, put away her tender and affectionate look, curled her hair with her fingertips, and said with a chuckle: "The vast East China Sea is so rich. The Dragon Palace dominates this place." There is an endless ocean, and it has been there for countless years, and the wealth is amazing. This treasure is nothing to the Prince of Dragon Palace."
Xu Zhuang smiled and said, "Is all Miss Shi planning to target Dragon Palace?"
Fairy Shi smiled and said, "Not bad."
Xu Zhuang said: "The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea is indeed incredibly rich, but it is also one of the most dangerous in the world. The girl has tried so hard to plan the magic weapon of the Dragon Palace? Xu is very curious about how to do it."
"Now that the situation has come to an end, the slave family can no longer pretend to be disparate." Fairy Shi said, "Master, have you ever heard of a real dragon welcoming a bride?"
"I just know a little bit about it," Xu Zhuang replied.
"As far as I know, as early as a few months ago, a wedding banquet was being held in the East China Sea Dragon Palace for a True Dragon Prince to marry. This is a very grand event for the East China Sea Hai clan. People from all over the country Demon lords, demon generals, big demons who have made peace with the Dragon Palace, and those who are a little bit qualified all set off to the Dragon Palace to watch the ceremony. It can be said that thousands of demons gathered together."
Fairy Shi said eloquently: "But, before such a lively and festive event could be completed, something unexpected happened."
"I wonder how long the Dragon Palace has been around? The number of real dragons has never increased. Every real dragon is extremely rare. Who would have thought that a dragon slaying and seizing the pearl actually happened in the East China Sea..."
Xu Zhuang smiled half-heartedly and said, "The girl must have wanted to do this."
Fairy Shi said: "Oh? Should the slave family know?"
Xu Zhuang asked suspiciously: "What? Could it be that Xu's guess was wrong? Didn't the girl personally send the dragon ball to be photographed?" Without waiting for Shi Xianzi's response, Xu Zhuang asked Zhang Ji: "Brother Zhang, what I expected is not true." Bad, right?"
Zhang Ji glanced at Shi Shi, hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "That's true."
Xu Zhuang counted the cases and said with a smile: "After this, you and I are all making a lot of money. This business is really smart."
Xu Zhuang didn't seem to mean to blame, but Zhang Ji felt inexplicably guilty for deceiving his friend, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Fairy Shi didn't care at all, and said slyly: "The Nu family has never thought of hiding it, but this matter is not important. Will the young master continue to listen to the matter of the real dragon's wedding banquet?"
Xu Zhuang said: "Girl, please speak."
"As mentioned before..." Shi Xianzi couldn't help but smile when she said this, and continued: "After such an incident, everyone in the Dragon Palace was shocked by it. We can't still be happy and make big plans. But a big event like the wedding of a real dragon is not going to end at the end, so we can only put it on hold for the time being."
"Now that Ao Hai has found the dragon ball and brought it back to the Dragon Palace, the matter has finally been explained. I think it won't be long before the wedding banquet will be organized again."
"Oh? It sounds very lively, but you and I are not really going to the Dragon Palace to visit and watch the ceremony?" Xu Zhuang said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Girl, why don't we get straight to the point."
Fairy Shi was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "According to legend, every time at a true dragon's wedding banquet, the treasure house of the Dragon Palace will be opened on the spot, and a treasure hidden in it will be selected and given to the newlyweds..."
Xu Zhuang's heart moved and he asked: "It seems that the girl's plot is here?"
"That's right." Fairy Shi said: "That magic weapon is the secret of my Demon Sect. Although it was accidentally obtained by the Dragon Clan, there is no way to sacrifice it, so it can only be shelved. As I expected, it is set in the Dragon Palace. In the treasure house.”
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "I don't think the girl's plan is to plunder the treasure house at the wedding banquet, right?"
Even though Xu Zhuang didn't fully understand the power of the Dragon Palace, he only needed to think about it briefly to understand the dangers involved.
The vast East China Sea has given birth to countless sea tribes, demons have become enlightened, and they have endless longevity. As the de facto master of the East China Sea, how much of the great demon with the same cultivation level as the Golden Pill and Nascent Soul should be hidden in the Dragon Palace? I'm afraid there are not just a few dragon kings and demon kings who are comparable to the soul?
As for the Supreme Pure Yang, a person with supreme supernatural powers that is almost as good as the immortals, Xu Zhuang does not dare to speculate.
Fairy Shi said angrily: "The real dragon is having a wedding banquet and thousands of monsters are gathering. How could the slave family be so unwise?"
She flipped her hand over and took out a scroll from somewhere, swung it in her hand and said with a smile: "This thing is called the "Five Demons Carrying Picture". It is made by arresting the demon. This kind of demon is tangible and intangible, and can be Traveling through the void, ignoring restrictions, coming and going without a trace. Hmm... It's most suitable for 'stealing'."
"When the treasure house is opened, I will drive the five demons to take the magic weapon from the treasure house, and then immediately find an excuse to escape without knowing it. When the Dragon Palace finds out, where will we be found?"
"To take a step back, even if something goes wrong, Dragon Palace reacts in time, and it will not fall into an irreparable situation." Speaking of this, Fairy Shi smiled, "With the help of Young Master, I want to break out of the siege. It’s not difficult.”
"...The girl's idea is too naive." Xu Zhuang said, "That is the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. Even if you don't think about it, you know that it must have countless powers. Even if you and I have great abilities, is it possible that we can still cultivate the soul? Dragon King, escape from the hands of the Demon King?"
"Young master, you are wrong." Fairy Shi smiled slightly, "Master Xu, don't think that the treasure house of Dragon Palace is really that great. If there really are any rare treasures or amazing magic weapons, they would have been collected by the Dragon King and Demon King in Dragon Palace long ago. With you around, how can you leave it to gather dust in a treasure house?”
"Those dragon kings, demon kings, and even the great demon lords are all in the crystal cave. They are trying to avoid the three severe disasters, or they are jumping out of the mysteries of life and death and practicing hard. How can they have time to pay attention to such trivial matters."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang fell into deep thought.
What Fairy Shi said is not unreasonable. In the world of cultivation, the True Yuanshen and the high-gong masters are actually not very rare. However, in order to seek higher results, they usually ignore common things. This is also what Jindan monks often do. It represents the reason for the sect’s facade.
"This matter is indeed very promising." Xu Zhuang's eyes flashed.
The Great Dao is worth fighting for. Without fighting, it is not enough to achieve enlightenment. Now, although he will not be disturbed by demons and evil spirits to interfere with his thoughts, he will never let it go easily if he has the opportunity to get rid of this disturbance so that he can practice with peace of mind. Moreover, he is not There is no backhand.
All the true disciples of the Taisu Zongzong, who are among the true disciples, have the True Golden Sword, which is both proof of being a true disciple and a means of protection for the true disciples. Yao, over mountains and seas, as long as he is still in the Xuanhuang Realm, Jinjian will bring his true disciples back to Taisu.
With this trump card, as long as there is no Yuanshen realm and immortal gods intervene, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Xu Zhuang will still have a way out.
With the plan in mind, Xu Zhuang did not rush to agree, but said: "According to the agreement between you and me, if this trip to the Dragon Palace is too dangerous, Xu will withdraw at any time."
Shi Xianzi smiled and said, "This is the way it should be."
"Okay." Xu Zhuang nodded and stood up suddenly, "In that case, let's meet again tomorrow."
As he spoke, he strode out of the boat, but after a moment, there was no trace of him. It turned out that the boat had been docked for a long time.
