"Your Highness is sure to give this to Zhou..."
After all the officials left, Zhao Kai stayed alone and gave Zhou Tong a stone emitting a faint red light...
"Xiao Wang bought this thing from a merchant. At first he thought it was a ruby and kept it in his house for fun. Then one day, the master of Baohua Temple came to my house as a guest and said that there was an evil spirit in my house. Finally, he told me that Pointing to this stone, he said it was an evil thing that would bring bad luck to Xiao Wang and asked Xiao Wang to get rid of it as soon as possible, so Xiao Wang thought of Director Zhou. I wonder if Director Zhou could help Xiao Wang with this?" Zhao Kai explained, There was a flash of nervousness deep in his eyes.
Zhou Tong looked at the stone and seemed a little excited, "This thing is called Blood Drops of Tears, also called Blood Drops Stone. To be honest, this thing is of great use to Zhou. His Highness King Yun can give it to Zhou." , it can be considered as a big favor to Zhou, how about this, this time it is Zhou who owes His Highness a favor..."
"That's great!" Zhao Kai was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Since this thing is useful to the director, then please ask the director to accept it. As for the favor, let's skip it. After all, it can be regarded as solving Xiao Wang's problem. An annoying thing..."
His heart was beating loudly at this moment. According to what Master Guo Tianshi said, as long as Zhou Tong didn't find anything unusual and would accept this thing, his position as the crown prince would be 80% guaranteed!
Zhou Tong's attention was all on the stone at this time, and he did not notice the abnormality in Zhao Kai's expression. Instead, he laughed and said: "Then Zhou will be disrespectful, but I, Zhou Tong, never owe any favors. If your highness meets you in the future, When it comes to difficult situations, as long as the bottom line is not touched, Zhou will never shirk!" Saying this, Xiu Pao swept the stone away and put it away.
"Haha, then Xiao Wang is more respectful than obeying orders..."
a month ago
In Jingshi Mountain, Zhou Tong sat cross-legged on the altar with a serious expression.
The sky is dark, dark clouds are rolling, and the fog is filled...
In the sky, the sound of thunder rumbled endlessly. Suddenly, at a certain moment, a white lightning struck, pointing directly at Zhou Tong. At this moment, Zhou Tong was covered in golden light, solemn and solemn, sitting there like a god, facing Huanghuang. The power of Heaven remains unmoved...
thunderbolt!
In an instant, Zhou Tong was overwhelmed by thunder, followed by several more thunderbolts. After the thunder dissipated, Zhou Tong was revealed in the center of the altar. The purple Bagua Tao uniform he originally wore was now in tatters. Even the long beard was burnt, leaving only a short handful, but the hair was covered by a crown and remained unaffected...
For those who are cultivating immortals, after reaching the Grand Master level, the energy in their body will actively communicate with nature. As their cultivation level continues to improve, the energy will accumulate. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, Heaven will feel threatened and will bring down the calamity. This is the tribulation...
If it can be passed smoothly, after the body is baptized by thunder, it will undergo a shackles change and become a legendary immortal. This is also the dream state of mortal cultivators.
However, the catastrophe is not so easy to survive. Without the aid of magical weapons and formations, the possibility of surviving is almost zero. And even with the help of these aids, the chance of success is not high, at most only 70%...
This is Zhou Tong's third time to transcend the heavenly tribulation, and the result is obvious: he failed again...
"Giggle...Isn't this Mr. Zhou, Director Zhou? Why is he so embarrassed..."
Just as Zhou Tong was closing his eyes and recalling the reason for his failure, the woman's mocking voice suddenly came from a distance. After Zhou Tong heard it, he opened his eyes, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his dark face.
"Girl Yi An, don't be so proud. When you get over the tribulation, let's see how I fight against the autumn wind!" he said angrily.
"Haha, that will probably make Mr. Zhou wait for a long time. I have no plans to survive the tribulation yet..." The woman was wearing a green dress and beads on her head. She looked noble and elegant, but she had a wine gourd on her waist. It looked a little different. When it fell from the air, the gourd bumped a few times, and there was a rattling sound inside.
"Hmph, I admit that you have extraordinary qualifications, but the way of heaven is unavoidable, how can you control it?" Zhou Tong snorted coldly. Although he is older and more qualified, the two of them have the same cultivation level. Because of this, he often Being laughed at by the other party.
"Who said I want to control the way of heaven." Li Yian brushed his hair and looked at Zhou Tong's miserable state, with a look of gloating on his face, "Just because you are unlucky doesn't mean I am unlucky as well. I have heard of Blood Drop Stone. Well, by chance, I got a piece of this layman while traveling..."
Zhou Tong originally wanted to say: If you are just here to laugh at me, then don’t blame me for chasing people away!
But after hearing the words "blood-dropping stone", I was suddenly shocked, "Blood-dropping stone, where did you get it! Are there any more?"
Blood drop stone, also called blood drop tear, is said to be formed by the essence and blood of the ancient witch after his death. It has the function of covering up the secrets of heaven. If ordinary people carry this thing on their body, it will cover the Yang Qi on their body. Over time, it will attract evil spirits. At the least, they will have bad luck all the time, and at worst, their lives will be in danger. However, if they are practitioners, especially great masters, they will Wearing it on the body will cover the perception of heaven, thus temporarily escaping the catastrophe. When enough energy is gathered to overcome the tribulation, the success rate will increase a lot...
Li Yi'an rolled his eyes at Zhou Tong and said, "Mr. Zhou, you think this is an ordinary stone! What else? If I can find one, I am already blessed with deep blessings!"
"Girl Yi An, although your cultivation level is similar to that of me, both of them are in the Great Master Xuanxuan realm, you are a newcomer after all, and you are still far from being able to overcome the tribulation. Why don't you lend me this item for my use? When I’ve accumulated enough, how about I give it back to you?”
Zhou Tong's eyes were glowing green at the moment, and coupled with his tattered appearance after being struck by lightning, how could he be called such a "wretched" person...
Li Yian was not afraid of Zhou Tong robbing him. As he said, both of them were Grand Masters in the Shangxuan realm. Although there was a difference in strength, they were similar.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, raised a smile on her lips, and said, "It's not impossible, it's just..."
"It's just what?" Zhou Tong now desperately needs the blood drop stone to cover up the secret, so even if Li Yian opens his mouth and makes any excessive demands, he will consider it.
"Let my junior sister, Xuanjizi, join your Demon Suppression Department..."
"Join my Demon Suppression Department? How will you treat me?" Zhou Tong frowned.
"Thirty years ago, a traitor appeared in our Lingbao Mountain and stole the ancestor's Lingbaozhu. After decades of searching, we found that the traitor had changed his name and became the Great Master of the Song Dynasty. Our sect wanted to clean up the family, but it failed. I am afraid that he will be too rebellious and affect others, so I want my junior sister to join your Demon Suppression Department, and wait for a good opportunity to capture him!"
Zhou Tong fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He did not doubt what Li Yian said. He just entered the Demon Suppression Division and killed the Imperial Master of the Song Dynasty. There were too many things involved. After all, the Demon Suppression Division was not allowed to interfere with the imperial court. If he did not do it right, it would trigger conflicts between imperial power and religion. ...
"The traitor has become a demon because he mistakenly ate the pure spiritual power of a toad spirit. In other words, if we at Lingbao Mountain don't care, will your Demon Suppression Department let him go unchecked? Director Zhou, please think carefully, my junior sister But the great master is in the realm of Zhongxuan!" Seeing Zhou Tong's delay in speaking, Li Yian said again.
The demon is sometimes a human and sometimes a demon, but it is never a human or a demon. If it is really a demon, then the Demon Suppression Division will indeed take action.
"Okay, but I want your junior sister to come here first to take the assessment." Zhou Tong said.
Li Yian smiled: "No problem, my junior sister has a clean family, and she has no other connections except me as her senior sister..."
Zhou Tong nodded and stretched out his hand: "Bring it here."
"What?" Li Yizhi pretended to be confused.
Zhou Tong glared: "What did you say! Of course it's a blood drop stone!"
"Oh, that's easy to say." Li Yian suddenly realized, then he took out his left sleeve, then his right sleeve, and finally opened the wine gourd at his waist. However, in addition to the strong aroma of wine, she smelled the back pain. After another peck, there was nothing.
"Oh! Come to think of it, after I got drunk last night, I went to the casino to gamble on a whim, but I was unlucky and lost the stone!" Li Yian was shocked, and then showed a look of remorse, seeing Zhou Tong's expression getting darker and darker. Yue Shen, hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I remember that casino, so I will redeem it. But Mr. Zhou, you also know the value of this blood drop stone. I don't have that much silver in my hand... I don't know. ..."
"How much!" Zhou Tong directly interrupted her performance.
Li Yian burped, stretched out his hand, and made a fist: "No more, no more, five thousand taels is enough..."
Zhou Tong showed a pained expression, but still took out a banknote.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou is so happy! Look at this layman retrieving things from the air!" Li Yian laughed, opened her fingers, and saw an egg-sized stone emitting red light suspended in her hand.
Zhou Tongliang's eyes widened, is this the blood drop stone?
He quickly cast a spell and sent the banknote to Li Yian through the air, then reached out to grab the blood drop stone, but Li Yian dodged it.
"Mr. Zhou, a mere five thousand taels is just a ransom. You haven't paid the rent to me yet..."
"Girl Yi An, if you tease me again, don't blame me for falling out with you." Zhou Tong was a little anxious.
Li Yian also knew not to go too far, and said: "I will definitely lend this thing to Mr. Zhou, but it will have to wait a month, because I, the head of Lingbaoshan, also need this thing. I, Li Yian, promise with my personality that I will never break my promise!"
Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes...
Although this girl is naughty, she is not the kind of person who breaks her promise, and besides, it has only been a month...
"But, I know that you girl likes poetry, so I will give you some fine works for your entertainment."
Li Yian's beautiful eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then it's settled, on Mr. Zhou's birthday in one month, I will definitely bring a blood drop stone to congratulate him!"
.....
After Zhao Kai left, Zhou Tong looked at the blood drop stone in his hand with a hint of pride on his face, then put it in his sleeve, used the soaring cloud technique, and came to the other courtyard where the immortal cultivators gathered...
