Bringing the farm to another world
Chapter 15686 Half-finished
A flash of light appeared on a massive teleportation array, and Qingbo's figure materialized there. He glanced around and immediately recognized it as the teleportation plaza of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. However, the place he appeared in was merely a small plaza within the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. Although the teleportation array here was quite large, it wasn't used by many people. This was a teleportation plaza specifically prepared for them, the disciples of the lower sects, by the Nine Suns Immortal Palace, so naturally, there weren't many people here. Furthermore, Qingbo knew that this was the seventh level of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace, and this was the only level they could reach.
Just then, a disciple of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace dressed in black with a sun on his back walked over. He glanced at Qingbo and then asked, "Which sect are you from?"
Qingbo immediately bowed to the disciple and said, "I am Qingbo from the Yidao Sect of the Meteorite Domain." Although the disciple's strength was only at the Throne level, Qingbo was still very polite to him, while the disciple was very impolite to Qingbo.
The disciple held a jade slip in his hand. He glanced at the jade slip, then nodded and said, "The Dao Sect, right? Alright, follow me." Qingbo responded and followed the disciple out of the teleportation array.
Once outside the teleportation array, they immediately walked onto a passageway. After entering the passageway, they walked straight ahead until they reached a building. The two of them went upstairs and soon arrived at a room. The disciple walked to the door and gently knocked. A deep voice from inside said, "Come in."
The disciple then pushed open the door and went inside, but didn't take Qingbo with him. Qingbo stood at the door. The disciple came out again shortly after going in and said to Qingbo, "Jinyun, the elder is waiting for you." Qingbo responded and then walked inside. However, as he walked forward, he moved his hand and slipped something into the disciple's hand before entering the room. After Qingbo went inside, the disciple glanced at the object in his hand and found it to be a spatial bag. He scanned the bag with his spiritual power, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned and left.
This was a small room, only about 20 square meters. There were three bookshelves, a desk, a chair behind the desk, and two chairs in front of the desk. Behind the desk stood a slender cultivator, none other than Elder Yu.
Qingbo immediately bowed to Elder Yu and said, "Qingbo from the Yidao Sect of the Meteorite Domain greets Elder Yu." He recognized Elder Yu because Elder Yu was in charge of receiving them and his group. He had met Elder Yu many times before, so of course he knew him.
Elder Yu looked at Qingbo, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and then smiled and said, "Elder Qingbo, there's no need to be so polite, please sit down."
Qingbo quickly said, "Thank you, Elder Yu." After saying that, he walked to the desk and carefully sat down. Elder Yu looked at Qingbo, sensed his aura, and then said, "Elder Qingbo, I heard that everything that happened at your Yidao Sect has been resolved? I wonder how it was resolved?"
Qingbo quickly stood up, but Elder Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, sit down and talk." Qingbo responded and sat down, but didn't sit down completely. He continued, "Replying to Elder Yu, this matter was originally very dangerous. A powerful expert emerged from the Seven Realms, and his strength is formidable. We are no match for him even in one-on-one combat. Moreover, the Seven Realms have cultivated a new group of experts, enabling them to fight against us. We attacked that person from the Seven Realms several times without success. We thought we had no chance to deal with him anymore, so in the end, we had no choice but to ask our sect for help." However, unexpectedly, traitors emerged from the Seven Realms. Some surrendered to us and revealed the location of the Seven Realms expert. After learning the expert's location, we immediately surrounded and killed him. After killing him, the rest of the Seven Realms were no match for us, and we finally defeated them. However, the people of the Seven Realms only retreated back to their own realm; they weren't completely wiped out. Nevertheless, we have already deployed heavy troops to guard the outside of the Seven Realms, so we believe they will never be able to escape again.
Elder Yu looked at Qingbo with a half-smile on his face, then said, "Oh? I see. You guys are really lucky."
Qingbo pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words and quickly said, "That's right. We were very lucky. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to find the location of that expert. Without eliminating that expert, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the people of the Seven Realms. At that time, we would have really had to trouble the upper sect. Fortunately, we solved this problem in the end, so we don't have to trouble the adults of the upper sect to take action."
Elder Yu looked at Qingbo and noticed his serious expression, which left him speechless for a moment. He was clearly from the Yin-Yang Dao Sect, but Qingbo seemed completely oblivious, giving a solemn answer. What could he say? Thinking this, Elder Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew perfectly well that Qingbo's behavior meant he was either telling the truth or a master of feigning ignorance. He had interacted with Qingbo many times and knew he wasn't a cunning person. Could he be telling the truth? Impossible, absolutely impossible. He didn't believe it.
Elder Yu looked at Qingbo and then smiled slightly, saying, "Your sect is quite thoughtful. You've just finished dealing with your own troubles and you're already sending tribute. That's truly commendable." Qingbo once again clasped his hands in a fist salute to Elder Yu and said, "Elder Yu, you flatter me. We sought help from the upper sect several times regarding this matter, which caused the elders of the upper sect to worry about us. This is truly our fault. It is precisely because of this that our sect leader decided to send the tribute to the upper sect ahead of schedule. We hope the elders of the upper sect will not blame us."
Upon hearing Qingbo's words, Elder Yu nodded and said, "Alright, then bring out the tribute."
Qingbo responded, then with a flick of his hand, he took out a spatial bag and carefully handed it to Elder Yu. Qingbo then said, "Our sect leader said that this matter has really troubled the upper sect, so we have decided to increase today's tribute by 20%. We hope the upper sect will not blame us for this."
Upon hearing Qingbo's words, Elder Yu's eyes flashed, and he said, "Good, that's thoughtful. Your Yi Dao Sect is truly commendable. I will certainly report this to the Hall Master."
Qingbo once again clasped his hands in a fist salute to Elder Yu and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Elder Yu."
Elder Yu nodded without saying anything, but inwardly snorted coldly. He then opened the spatial bag and probed inside with his spiritual power, discovering that it contained multiple spatial bags. Qingbo and the others offered a considerable amount of tribute each year, which could not be contained in a single spatial bag and had to be divided into multiple spatial bags. Therefore, they always used one spatial bag to hold the other spatial bags when offering tribute, which was more convenient.
Elder Yu took out all the spatial bags, but he quickly noticed something was wrong. He found that the number of spatial bags today seemed to be incorrect. In fact, the Dao Sect always had a certain number of items to offer each year, and each item was packed into one spatial bag. Even if they had offered more items this year, the number of spatial bags should not have increased. However, the number of spatial bags was significantly higher than expected, which surprised Elder Yu. The main thing was that even if they calculated that the number of spatial bags was 20% higher, it was still incorrect. What was going on?
Thinking of this, Elder Yu couldn't help but pick up the spatial bags and examine them one by one. After he had looked at all the contents of the spatial bags, a smile finally appeared on his face. He knew why the number of spatial bags didn't match up. It was because the amount of things Qingbo and the others had offered as tribute was not right. This time, the amount of things Qingbo and the others offered as tribute was not 20% more than the previous year, but a full 25% more. Don't underestimate this 25%. That's half a percent of the tribute from a sect, and the amount is quite considerable. Qingbo only said that it was 20% more. It goes without saying who that half a percent was for.
Elder Yu put away all the spatial bags with satisfaction, and then he looked at Qingbo and said, "The quantity of the items is correct. The Yi Dao Sect has done a good job. It's not that we didn't want to help you when your Yi Dao Sect had trouble this year. In fact, we had already made arrangements and were about to send people over. But now you say that the matter has been resolved, so don't blame us."
Qingbo quickly replied, "We dare not. We are already very happy that the sect is thinking of us. The entire sect has no complaints, only gratitude."
Elder Yu nodded, then said, "How about this, you wait here for me. I'll go see the Hall Master and see if he has any instructions for you." Qingbo responded, and Elder Yu stood up, then said, "Someone come here." A disciple immediately responded from outside and entered. Elder Yu said to the disciple, "Serve Elder Qingbo tea and tell him to wait for me here." The disciple responded and went to prepare the tea, while Elder Yu walked straight out.
Once outside, Elder Yu first found a secluded spot, then opened the spatial bag Qingbo had given him and took out several spatial bags that he had marked. These were the extra spatial bags that hadn't been recorded. Elder Yu put those spatial bags away, then tied the spatial bag back up before heading upstairs.
Before long, they arrived at Elder Shen's room. Upon seeing Elder Shen, Elder Yu bowed and said, "Hall Master, the tribute from the Dao Sect has arrived, and it's 20% more than before." He then took out a spatial bag and handed it over with both hands.
Elder Shen nodded, then waved his hand, and the spatial bag flew into his grasp. He opened it, glanced inside, and then took out all the smaller spatial bags within to examine them. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, very considerate. They packed them separately, which saves us some trouble." (End of Chapter)
