Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 677: Flying Crown
After a year of chaotic fighting, Ji State finally gave up.
Inside the Purple Air Palace.
Dian Si'er said: "A total of more than 8,300 people have died, and more than 5,000 people are missing. Fifteen thousand two-life talismans have been spent, and countless amounts of money have been spent."
"Yeah."
Lu Tong held a thick book in which he wrote the victory, defeat, losses, gains, etc. of each battle.
The damage is not small.
Although the number of people in the country has exceeded one million, most of them are of low cultivation, and the more than 10,000 people who have been lost are all the best at fighting.
"How about the Chamber of Commerce?"
"The Chamber of Commerce suffered the heaviest losses. Jiguo closed the waters and the Ten Thousand Demons Chamber of Commerce withdrew, initially cutting off 80% of the trade routes. Later, they managed to recover 30% of the trade routes by smuggling under water using the Immortal Carp."
Dian Si'er frowned.
Lu Tong also felt his heart sink.
Judging from this battle, Liangyao Zhengguo’s Taoist soldiers are very strong. In a one-on-one fight, Yi Zhang Monkey and Huang Biaohu were both better than Ji Guo's ice-armored Taoist soldiers.
But these strengths are all built with money.
If we don’t have money, we will only become weaker year by year in the future.
"The Ten Thousand Demons Chamber of Commerce is ready to abandon this place?"
"Wan Yi said that Shanglin State is preparing to send troops to the west and will no longer interfere in state affairs in other places."
Lu Tong blinked.
To the west of Shanglin Kingdom, the largest country is Ganguo's Che Kingdom. The mortal world and the underworld have changed their skin, and they are about to start fighting again.
"How long can the remaining money last?"
Dian Si'er shook his head and said: "There is no money anymore. It costs money to fight wars, change fields and plant crops, and there is also the big hole in Shenxu. In the past two months, I have relied on the support of Shuguo, and I have already owed money. We owe a lot of debt."
There is no winner in a war unless the enemy can be completely wiped out and a large territory captured.
Lu Tongtong: "Open a warehouse and hold on for another year. After the Shuishi City is established and those families move here, everything will turn around."
"Will they pay?"
“You can both pay and make money.”
After he finished speaking, he smiled and said: "It's easy to make money this time, and you will definitely make a lot of money."
……
Month after month passed.
In midsummer, caravans formed a long queue, leaving Dengzhen Country and entering the boundless wasteland.
High in the sky.
Lu Tong looked at the closed carriages of different sizes and the ruts sunk deep into the mud, and asked: "What treasures do these families hide?"
"Mostly herbs."
Zhang Qiao stood nearby.
There are several figures with strong auras in the clouds in the distance, guarding the caravan and intimidating all forces along the way.
Lu Tong's heart moved slightly and he asked: "They all have rare elixir recipes?"
Zhang Qiao smiled, shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with the prescription. I chose the herbal medicine because it is the most stable."
"Smooth?"
"Well, the currencies of different countries are different, and they keep rising and falling. They can only be used temporarily and cannot be passed down for a long time. Only herbal medicines will always be bought by people, and the older they are, the more valuable they are, and they can be passed down forever."
Lu Tong nodded slowly.
The world's population is increasing, and they are pouring into mountains, forests, wilderness, etc. In recent years, wild herbs have become rarer year by year.
"This herb must be old."
"Of course, a thousand years is just common, five thousand years or so is not uncommon, and there are also a few immortal grasses that are tens of thousands of years old."
Lu Tong was a little surprised, but also a little happy, and said: "Are these herbs available?"
"Except for a few plants, most of them are commercial goods and can be traded at any time if the price is right. If the king needs it, I can get it for you."
"I don't want it. Can I open an auction house and auction the herbs on their behalf?"
"These herbs are priceless and there is no need for auction houses to raise prices."
Zhang Qiao hesitated for a moment, then continued to mention something cryptic: "Shuishi City is just a 'courtyard'. When we seek profit, it is best to start from the courtyard, and not worry about the things in the yard."
Lu Tong grinned and said: "The auction house is part of the 'courtyard'. We don't take commissions. You can discuss this matter with them."
Zhang Qiao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The king plans to use the name of herbal medicine to attract people from all over the world who are seeking medicine?"
"Not bad."
Lu Tong nodded, took a step, and turned into a line of blood that shot out for several miles.
In the distance, silver light flashed on a mountain peak, and two figures were confronting the silver light.
Lu Tongtong: "Two fellow Taoists, this person is an old acquaintance of Lu. How about leaving it to me?"
"Good work."
The two real Yuanying masters who were guarding the caravan immediately retreated.
Lu Tong landed next to Yinguang and said: "King Zizhen, you are well."
The silver light converged and merged into a hazy figure, saying: "Master Lu, what a good trick. I have been planning for several years, but it has actually contributed to your good deeds."
Lu Tong shook his head and said, "Even if I don't take action, you won't be able to swallow this benefit."
"Whether he swallows it or not, that's our business. Lord Lu suddenly intervened and passed by our territory. Does he still want us to sit back and watch?"
Lu Tong weighed in his mind.
This time, apart from him and Zhang Qiao, there were a total of three Nascent Soul Masters from each family. If there was a fight, the outcome would not be certain, but it would definitely damage the caravan and damage the reputation of Shuishuo City.
"What do you want?"
"Young Fox Country."
Lu Tong was very surprised and turned to look over.
Zizhen Wangdao: "Within one year, we will take action against the Young Fox Kingdom. The good demon and the great country should not interfere."
"Related to Jiguo?"
"It has nothing to do with it. If you are willing to help me, we can join forces to deal with Jiguo after the matter is completed."
Lu Tong was very skeptical.
The Kingdom of Ji is so powerful that it can only be fought against by the Three Kingdoms of Young Fox, Shu Kingdom, and Liangyao Zheng Kingdom after they form an alliance.
The one who benefits the most when the demons intervene is Jiguo.
"If the young fox dies, no one in the country of Ji can check and balance it, and it will inevitably annex all directions, and you are no exception."
"Wrong, without the Young Fox Kingdom, the Demon Clan, Liangyao Zhengguo, and the Shu Kingdom can still block Jiguo by joining forces, and together with us, we are stronger than the Fox Demon."
Work together?
Lu Tong sneered in his heart, but showed no trace of it on his face, saying: "Young Fox Country is not a small country, and you three cannot swallow it."
"Fellow Taoist, have you forgotten the ghost cave in Youhu Country?"
Lu Tong's heart trembled.
There are countless ghost caves in Young Fox's country, and there are countless underground caves connecting the caves. The handwriting left behind from that time has become the most suitable location for the demon clan.
King Zizhen continued: "I have discussed with Li Youhai and King Tianfu to give up a 'Demon Lord'. You can send someone to take over at any time."
"Demon Lord?"
"Yes, we are the same lords, and we have a fiefdom and millions of demons. Now there are only three of us, and your people will be the fourth demon lords when they come."
Lu Tong thought for a long time and said: "I will only wait for one year. If you cannot win the Young Fox Kingdom within one year, it will only let Ji Kingdom sit back and enjoy its power, and then I will have to send someone to take action."
"Yes."
King Zizhen was silent for a moment and said: "The demon clan is unstoppable. This is my opportunity, and it is also your opportunity."
After speaking, the silver light seeped into the ground.
Lu Tong stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking towards the north, as if he had seen countless fights in the young fox country.
From south to north, pass through the wasteland, enter the original boundary of the Xu Kingdom, then continue northward into the Liangyao Zheng Kingdom, and finally enter the water from Lixian Pier.
After more than two months of slowly moving forward, the caravan finally arrived at Shuishi Mountain.
Shuishi Mountain, the mountain is still a huge black shadow under the water, but there is an additional fairy ship on it - the Flying Crown Fairy Ship, which is now changed to "Shuishi City".
There is a tall tower in the center of the city, with a long bridge-like platform on the top.
Lu Tong sat above and said with a smile: "Everyone, there is no need to be polite when you come here. You are the masters of Shuishi City. Liangyao Zhengguo, Shuguo, and Lianzhoushan will definitely protect this place safe and sound."
"There is a working lord."
"Haha, thank you so much, Lord, for finding a good place for us."
"Sitting on the water and looking at the water, the fairy boat is really a wonderful sight in the world."
The bottom is filled with long tables.
He Qianqian from Dingguo, Jige from Daboguo, Fan Sigui from Luguo... Behind each of them is a powerful figure.
Lu Tong looked around and stayed on one of them for a moment longer.
People who ascend to the true country.
Zhu Andu actually sent a confidant to bring in a large amount of treasure, and also sent many five-toothed warriors to stay behind.
He stepped forward and suddenly asked: "May I ask the king, I heard that this fairy ship originally had thirty-six bosses, but now they are empty. Is there anyone new to take office?"
Lu Tong blinked and said, "No."
He stepped forward and stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said: "He is not talented and wants to be the leader of the workshop."
"Fan also has this intention."
"Please grant your permission, Mr. Hu..."
Everyone stood up one after another.
Lu Tong was silent.
At this time, Zhang Qiao stood up with a smile and said: "Everyone, Shuishi City has just been established and nothing has been decided. The king of the country already knows your wishes. Zhang guarantees that you will be satisfied in the end. How?"
"Thank you Zhang Xiangguo!"
Lu Tong picked up the wine glass and said: "Please."
"Please, the Lord."
After tea time, Lu Tong left the platform and entered the quiet room downstairs.
"Winter."
The door rang.
Lu Tong had already expected it and said: "Come in."
Zhang Qiao pushed open the door and entered.
"Meet the King."
Lu Tong pointed to the chair and said, "What's going on?"
Zhang Qiao went over to sit down and said, "Same as before, asking for officials in Dengzhen Kingdom and asking for bosses in the city are all to take charge of a party and protect the wealth in hand."
Lu Tong was silent.
Zhang Qiao stood up and took out three large boxes. After opening them, he revealed a box of black leather talisman money, a box of golden bowls, and a box of various variegated elixirs.
"Half of the families have already paid the first year's rent. These three boxes are only 10%, and the rest has been stored in the warehouse at the bottom of the tower."
Lu Tong immediately put aside his distracting thoughts and went over to pick up a piece of talisman money.
"Dingguo's 'iron skin talisman money' has a layer of iron skin half an inch thick on the body surface. They need a lot of spiritual energy, and they pay the most rent."
"Yeah."
Lu Tong nodded.
The fairy ship has its own formation that swallows up spiritual energy within a hundred miles radius day and night. There are also several spiritual veins and water veins in Shuishi Mountain under the city, in which spiritual energy is very abundant.
He picked up another big bowl.
After pouring in mana, the copper bowl with a diameter of nearly a foot suddenly flew up and expanded more than ten times, like a big mouth.
Zhang Qiao said: "The Dabao Kingdom's magic weapon to suppress the country can devour spells and trap people to suppress the enemy."
Lu Tong looked at the elixir again and said, "These are only 10%?"
Zhang Qiao smiled and nodded.
"Yes, and it's only for this year. If the head of the country is willing to give up the position of head, the more he gives, the more he will get."
Lu Tong sat back on his chair, still staring at the three boxes.
I knew that this would be a huge profit, but I didn’t expect that it would be such a huge benefit on just the first day.
"You discuss this matter with the Master of the Wisdom Palace and decide this matter together."
"Yes."
"Don't rush to send Lianzhoushan and Shuguo's share, wait...wait for one year before dividing."
"Yes."
……
Purple Air Palace.
Lu Tong fell outside the palace and saw a pretty figure. He paused and said, "Why are you here?"
Xiang Huan, his eyes were greedy when he didn't get it, and his mouth was greedy when he just got it.
Now that it has been more than 20 years, it no longer has the surprise of the past, and all that remains is better than nothing, and a little doubt.
Xiang Huan looked timid, took Lu Tong's arm and said: "My Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The two entered the palace.
Lu Tong sat on the couch and said, "I heard someone say that you often go to Qizhi Mountain to listen to books?"
"Yeah."
Mrs. Ninth is very afraid of Xianghuan, and has arranged for Six Blue Birds to keep an eye on her over the years, both openly and secretly.
Lu Tong heard a lot of news.
"What did you learn?"
Xiang Huan was making tea. He turned around, smiled and said, "Do you want to see it now, Lord?"
"Yeah."
Lu Tong responded casually.
Xiang Huan took out a screen and hid behind it. After a moment of rubbing, he lowered his voice and said, "Is the king ready?"
"Yeah."
Lu Tong became a little curious.
After a breath, a young man in a green shirt walked out, cupped his hands and said: "Xianghuan, a student from Qizhi Mountain, pays homage to the king."
Lu Tong curled his lips.
The woman is disguised as a man, wearing a Qizhishan gown and a man's hair, but she can still tell that she is a woman, which adds a bit of charm.
Xianghuan always has some new tricks.
Xiang Huan looked upright, took a step forward, and said: "My lord, the good evil in the country is very ill. There are hundreds of mountains, running rampant in the country, especially the two mountains Zhanghou and Shuilong. They hold land and water respectively. They must be controlled." !"
Lu Tong smiled even more.
"Come and tell me."
"Yes."
Xiang Huan took a few steps and approached the collapse. He took out a booklet and said, "This is the 'Removal of Diseases'. It is the countermeasure I have worked out day and night. Please take a look at it, the Lord!"
Lu Tong reached out his hand, but instead of grabbing the booklet, he grabbed Xiang Huan's arm and took it into his arms.
"Who told you that the evil is so serious?"
Xiang Huan's eyes shrank.
Although Lu Tong still had a smile on his face, Xiang Huan was so scared that he didn't dare to move.
"Country, the owner of the country..."
Lu Tongtong: "Feiguan sent you here just to find out the truth about Liangyao Zhengguo?"
"Master, I, I don't have it."
"Oh?"
He lifted Xiang Huan's chin and said, "Then what do you have?"
Xiang Huan's eyes were filled with water, and he whispered: "I don't have it, and neither does the master. The master still wants to surrender to the king."
"What?"
Lu Tong frowned.
Xiang Huan sobbed and said: "At that time, the master felt that Yun Ao was not a good master, so he looked for another way and wanted to use... Xiang Huan to befriend the king. There was indeed selfishness in it, but it was definitely not That’s what the king wants.”
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Xiang Huan raised his head and looked at Lu Tong, tentatively leaning towards his heart. Seeing that Lu Tong didn't stop him, he shed his green shirt like a snake and got into the red robe.
"The Lord, Xianghuan only has the Lord in his heart, and his body, life and soul belong to the Lord alone."
"Very good..."
……
Early the next morning.
In the Kingdom of Shu, the place where the Flying Crown Immortal Ship originally stayed was replaced by a "big umbrella", a mountain-like umbrella that plunged into the water and spread out veins of grass.
The Dinghai Umbrella is a magic weapon refined by Zhoushan.
Lu Tong and Yuchao swept through thirteen spiritual lands together, seizing the spiritual treasures from various places. After refining this treasure, they asked the **** 'Ba Meng' of the Zuntian God Realm to personally sit in charge, refine the magic treasure, and integrate it with the water. Replaced the Flying Crown Immortal Ship.
"Lord Lu."
A flash of blue light emitted from the umbrella, and Ba Meng appeared in front of him holding a small umbrella. ~IndoMTL.com~Ba Meng has become the protector of Shu Kingdom.
Lu Tongtong: "Junior sister, are you here?"
"Here."
"Where is Fellow Taoist Feiguan?"
"Also."
“My hard-working fellow Taoist sent a message to Fei Guan, saying that I and my junior sister had something to summon.”
"Okay."
A quarter of an hour later, Feiguan entered the Lotus Pond Heavenly Palace.
Lu Tong and Yu Chao were sitting deep in the palace.
Lu Tong said directly: "Fei Guan, Xiang Huan said that you secretly communicated with other countries and tried to betray Shu Kingdom. Is this true?"
The flying crown instantly froze in place as if struck by lightning.
Lu Tong slowly stood up, turned into a blood cloud and floated over, regained his figure, and said: "Tell me, there is no cholera yet, everything is too late."
Fei Guan’s eyes widened, but his eyes shrank to a tiny bit, and his lips wriggled several times but never opened his mouth.
Lu Tong waited for a long time.
Fei Guan finally said: "The Fei Guan Immortal Ship is the inheritance passed down by the ancestors. Yun Ao deliberately led people to attack us and seize the inheritance. How can we convince others!"
Lu Tong's heart skipped a beat.
It was scammed.
Xiang Huan said that Yun Ao was not a good master, but Fei Guan said that it was because of the fairy ship. There are some differences.
"It must be Zhenren Yuan. He colluded with Jiguo, destroyed Shuguo, and regained the Flying Crown Immortal Ship. It was the first step to separate me and Shelu."
Lu Tong was making random guesses, but suddenly his mind moved and he continued: "No wonder, Jiguo has not touched Yanhou Island in the past two years, and your handwriting should be involved."
Fei Guan's expression changed one after another, and finally his eyes darkened and he murmured: "I am here for the foundation of the ancestor. It is originally my thing. You are plotting against each other and taking advantage of it. Have you ever asked me?"
"Hey."
Lu Tong sighed and said: "It seems that this is indeed the case. Junior sister, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"Kill."
