Chapter 294 Let Me Guard Shuiye Island
Chapter 294 Let Me Guard Shuiye Island
After listening to Miao Ke and Xu Changshou's words, he looked at Zhang Zongchang with a cold brow and said, "Since everyone recommends you to go, then you should go and guard Shuiye Island."
"Forehead……"
Zhang Zongchang hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Leng, I'm sorry, but I have a furnace of important elixirs to refine recently and I can't get away in the short term. Please choose someone else."
After hearing Zhang Zongchang's words, everyone present was stunned.
Xu Changshou also looked at Zhang Zongchang in surprise. He didn't expect that he would refuse such a good job.
He also said that there were important elixirs to be refined. What important elixirs were there? They were not as important as Shuiye Island.
Besides, when it comes to refining pills, it can be done anywhere. Wouldn't it be the same if we take them to Shuiye Island to refine them?
Something is wrong, Xu Changshou feels something is wrong.
"Haha, Uncle Leng, since Senior Brother Zhang can't get away, let's choose someone else."
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhang is about to form a pill. The most important thing for him right now should be to prepare for the formation of the pill."
"Uncle Leng, I'm going!"
"I go."
"Disciple, go."
Seeing Zhang Zongchang evading, Bai Tongyuan and others became extremely excited.
Zhang Zongchang is the biggest competitor. Once Zhang Zongchang doesn't go, then each of them will have a chance.
Leng Mei nodded slightly: "In that case, I won't force you. Zhang Zongchang, who do you think is the most suitable person to go?"
Zhang Zongchang smiled and pointed at Xu Changshou: "I think Junior Brother Xu is the most suitable candidate."
"I?"
Xu Changshou was stunned.
The style of the painting changed so quickly that he was caught off guard.
He could never have imagined that Zhang Zongchang would recommend him to go to Shuiye Island.
If Bai Tongyuan recommended him, it would be possible. After all, he was somewhat familiar with Bai Tongyuan, but had no contact with Zhang Zongchang at all.
It can't be that he recommended me just because I just recommended him and he has a good impression of me.
That’s not right. Senior Sister Miaoke also recommended him. Why didn’t he recommend Senior Sister Miaoke?
"What, Senior Brother Zhang, what you said is not right."
"Xu Changshou is only in the middle stage of foundation building. How can he defend Shuiye Island?"
"That's right. If Xu Changshou is asked to defend Shuiye Island, I will be the first to object. He is not strong enough."
When they heard Zhang Zongchang recommend Xu Changshou, Bai Tongyuan, Shi Wenlu and Qian Yuanming all opposed it.
Miao Ke was very quiet, sitting there without saying a word. It was unclear whether she was not interested in Shuiye Island or had no confidence in her own abilities.
Leng Mei's face was calm. "Zhang Zongchang, why do you recommend Xu Changshou? Tell me your reasons."
Zhang Zongchang smiled and said, "I recommend Junior Brother Xu for two main reasons: one is strength, and the other is demand."
Bai Tongyuan laughed and said, "I don't think Junior Brother Xu has the strength to hold on to the mining rights of Shuiye Island."
No one responded and waited for Zhang Zongchang's answer.
Zhang Zongchang smiled and said, "First, let's talk about strength. Junior Brother Xu killed 318 demon cultivators in the Demon Fairy Corridor. Who dares to say he has no strength? Back when he was in the Demon Fairy Corridor, Junior Brother Xu was still in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Now that he has broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, his strength must have increased greatly."
"Junior Brother Bai, how many demon cultivators did you kill in the Demon Immortal Corridor?"
Facing Zhang Zongchang's questioning, Bai Tongyuan blushed and argued, "Junior Brother Xu killed so many demon cultivators because of his demon pet, because of the Sky-Splitting Eagle."
Zhang Zongchang continued to laugh and said, "Junior Brother Bai, as a weapon refiner, don't you think this is ridiculous? Whether it's a magic weapon, formation talisman, puppet, or demon cultivation, it's all a form of strength."
"Also, when guarding Shuiye Island, the Sky-Splitting Eagle can monitor the entire island from the air and prevent enemy attacks. This is an advantage that no one else can match."
After Zhang Zongchang finished speaking, Bai Tongyuan and the others fell silent.
Miao Ke asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by demand?"
Zhang Zongchang said seriously, "Shuiye Island is a freshwater island. Since there are spiritual stone mines worth tens of millions, there must be accompanying spiritual springs. If there are accompanying spiritual springs, there must be water spirits."
Water spirit?
Xu Changshou was shocked when he heard this. He had never known this before. It turned out that the spirit of water came from the spiritual spring in the spiritual stone mine.
But if you think about it, it makes sense. The spirit of plants comes from plants, and the spirit of water comes from spiritual springs.
"The spirit stone mines on Shuiye Island are untapped, so naturally no one wants the Water Spirit. Everyone here has long since passed the middle stage of foundation building and can't use it. Only Junior Brother Xu has a need for the Water Spirit."
"This……"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, each expression weirder than the other, and no one spoke.
At this moment, everyone seemed to realize something.
"Zongchang is right. In that case, let Xu Changshou guard Shuiye Island."
Leng Mei nodded in agreement.
After she agreed, Bai Tongyuan and others lowered their heads, and no one dared to refute.
In front of a Jindan-stage master, a Foundation Establishment cultivator has no veto power.
Really let me go.
Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou lowered his head pretending to be calm, but in fact he was very upset.
The benefits of Shuiye Island are too great. If he is allowed to guard Shuiye Island, he will not only get a share of about two million, but also the Spirit of Water.
For Xu Changshou, he had enough spirit stones, the more the better.
More importantly is the spirit of water.
This is something he will need soon. As long as he has the spirit of water, he will be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building in another ten years.
No, no, don’t be too happy too soon, there is a problem, absolutely a problem.
Xu Changshou looked at Li Linger, then at Zhang Zongchang, and finally at Leng Mei.
Leng Mei and Zhang Zongchang both had calm expressions, and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking.
Only Li Ling'er had a smug look on her face and even blinked at herself.
Zhang Zongchang was not familiar with him, so there was no need for him to argue so hard for his own interests.
When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. Xu Changshou didn't know what role Zhang Zongchang played in this, but he knew there was definitely something fishy going on.
"Uncle Leng, disciple..."
"Xu Changshou, I give you two months to reach Shuiye Island."
Leng Mei interrupted Xu Changshou's words, and her calm eyes looked at him, as if piercing through Xu Changshou's whole body.
At this moment, he realized that the gaze of a Jindan cultivator was so terrifying.
"disciple……"
Xu Changshou felt a chill down his spine, and swallowed the next words. He clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Disciple obeys."
Xu Changshou knew that Leng Mei might deal with him, but he did not resist.
It’s not that I don’t dare to resist, it’s because I know resistance is useless.
This time, even if he refuses, Leng Mei will still have other means to deal with him next time.
Of course, Xu Changshou also knew that he had the ancestor and the Fire Kirin behind him.
Leng Mei didn't dare to do it himself, so he had to ask someone else to do it.
"You guys go ahead!"
Leng Mei waved his sleeves and disappeared on the lotus platform.
"We take our leave."
As he walked out of Leng Mei's palace, a cold wind blew and Xu Changshou felt a chill on his back.
He clenched his fists in his sleeves.
At this moment, Xu Changshou's desire for strength reached its peak.
Leng Mei, I, Xu Changshou, swear I will not be a human being until I grind your bones to dust.
