After the Skyfall

Chapter 697 Harvest and Relocation

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when Xiu Xiang walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with a thousand leaves of the sacred tree and a branch of the sacred tree.

Although he knew that the wise men of the Shenmu lineage would redeem the two divine blood warriors Mu Shu and Mu Tuo no matter what, he still had to gamble with his own life. Only if he won could he leave smoothly with a generous reward.

If he loses, Xiu Xiang will die in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Xiu Xiang, your offer is too greedy. I'm really worried that the warriors of the sacred tree will kill you immediately." Lord Musang couldn't help but say, "It's nothing for you to ask for a thousand sacred tree leaves, but that one sacred tree branch may very likely cost you your life."

"Fortunately, the High Priest Mu Wu of the Shenmu lineage has not lost his mind. He is willing to pay the price for the two Divine Blood Warriors."

Xiu Xiang smiled and said, "The blood of the merchant flows in my body. If I didn't trust my own judgment, I would have died a long time ago. Moreover, this deal is not a loss for the Shenmu lineage. They are two mountain master-level divine blood warriors. I even think that this reward is not generous enough."

Lord Musang was very surprised: "Xiu Xiang, your strength is definitely not enough to catch those two God Blood Warriors. I saw the injuries on Mu Tuo and Mu Shu. They were defeated by another powerful God Blood Warrior. You definitely didn't do this deal for yourself this time. It must be for the powerful God Blood Warrior behind you."

"If that's the case, why would you risk your life to get such a generous reward?"

He didn't understand why Xiu Xiang, a merchant, would go to such lengths.

Xiu Xiang laughed again: "I want to spread my name for eternity and make friends with the local gods. This little danger is nothing. My life was saved by someone, and now is the time to repay. I only regret that I am powerless, otherwise I would not be able to stop here."

He felt that the reward he asked for this time was just within his expectations and was not too surprising. If his status and position in Shenmu City, or his strength, were stronger, he would definitely earn more on this trip.

Upon hearing this, Lord Mu Sang could not help but sigh and said, "You are different from other business owners. You will surely achieve extraordinary success in the future. Perhaps all business owners in the world will inherit your name."

"This is inevitable." Xiu Xiang did not reject Mu Sang Gong's prediction, and even felt that this was bound to happen.

At this moment, Lord Musang looked worriedly at the magnificent sacred tree behind him. For some reason, he was worried about the future of the sacred tree lineage. Just like this sacred tree, after flourishing to the extreme, it would inevitably decline.

"At least while I'm alive, I shouldn't see the decline of the sacred tree lineage." He comforted himself in his heart.

As the carriage continued to move forward.

At an intersection in Shenmu City, Xiu Xiang and Mu Sang Gong parted ways. He took his servants and guards and hurried back home as quickly as possible with joy in his heart.

Not even close to home,

On the lush old tree in the house, figures like high priests opened their eyes in unison. Their gazes were as majestic as lightning and as scorching as the sun.

It makes people subconsciously feel fear.

Xiu Xiang knew that these were followers of Dayi and were powerful priests.

He calmed himself and walked into the house.

The cultivators in the Three Flower Realm also withdrew their gazes at this moment. It was obvious that under their control, every move nearby could not escape their perception. If a strong enemy attacked, they would meet the enemy at the first moment, and at the same time buy time for Taiyi to escape from Shenmu City.

After all, doing business on someone else's territory is a very risky thing.

Fortunately.

Nothing like this happened.

"Dayi, Dayi, are you there? I have lived up to your expectations and have sent the two God Blood Warriors back to the City Lord's Mansion, and have received a generous reward."

Xiu Xiang excitedly stepped into the courtyard where Li Yi was.

At this moment, Li Yi was sitting in the yard eating delicious exotic beast meat. Although he no longer needed exotic beast meat to replenish his blood, he had eaten too much before, so now he had become somewhat fond of the food of this world.

When Li Yi heard Xiu Xiang's voice, he immediately put down everything in his hands and went to meet him: "Xiu Xiang, how many sacred tree leaves did those two divine blood warriors get in exchange?"

He cares a lot about this.

Because without the leaves of the sacred tree, there is no way to smelt red gold and cast red gold Taoist tools.

Xiu Xiang laughed loudly and took out two red gold boxes from the storage device. He then pointed to one box and said, "There are one thousand sacred tree leaves in this box. It is large enough for you to use for a long time."

"This box contains a branch of the sacred tree, which is the most precious treasure in the sacred tree city."

Xiu Xiang was most satisfied with the branch of the sacred tree.

Because the value of this branch is much more precious than a thousand leaves of the sacred tree. The leaves of the sacred tree fall every year and their number is not scarce, but the sacred tree grows extremely slowly, so the branches are the most valuable things.

"A branch of the sacred tree?" Li Yi looked at the branch sealed in a red gold box with a look of doubt. Although he didn't know what the branch of the sacred tree was used for, he could feel the amazing energy emanating from the red gold box. This energy was even greater than the complete strange object, like a corner of the sun, with endless light and heat that could not be ignored.

"It is indeed a treasure." Li Yi stroked the red gold box and felt an astonishing heat.

This heat is not the temperature of flames, but an illusion caused by the powerful energy.

It can be imagined that once this box is opened, everything nearby will be burned by this amazing energy. The reason why the people in Shenmu City were not affected by the Shenmu tree is because the Shenmu tree is still too far away from them, and the distance weakened the huge energy.

In addition, the people in this world have amazing physical strength, so they can live a normal life.

"What an amazing branch! The treasure born between heaven and earth must be just like this." At this moment, the goddess Yun Feizi was attracted by this energy, and she couldn't help but walk in to take a look.

Li Yi asked: "Goddess, what do you think this thing can be used for?"

The goddess Yun Feizi stared at it and said, "It must be a treasure to be refined. It's too easy. Didn't you have a treasure bow in your hand before? But it lacked arrows. If this thing is used to refine arrows, it will have unimaginable terrible power."

Refining arrows?

Li Yi was stunned at first, but then his heart was suddenly moved.

The suggestion of the goddess Yun Feizi was indeed very good. If he could refine this branch into an arrow, then he would have an unparalleled weapon.

"This matter still needs to be discussed with Taoist Tiangong." As he said this, he immediately put the two boxes into the Five Elements Bracelet.

Then, he looked at Xiu Xiang again and said, "If you go to the Shenmu lineage to ask for such a generous reward, you will definitely offend them and even invite their revenge. So, this time I hope you can leave Shenmu City with me and go to Chijin Mountain."

"I can't give you anything, but I will definitely share the wealth of Chijin Mountain with you so that you can become a wealthy merchant. Don't be reluctant to leave Shenmu City. When I am strong enough in the future, I will return to this city again, defeat the Shenmu lineage, and seize this sacred tree."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he looked up at the extraordinary giant tree in the distance.

When Xiu Xiang heard this, he felt inexplicably excited for some reason. He realized that this was an opportunity.

Although he would give up a lot of things if he left Shenmu City, the place he was going to was Chijin Mountain, a treasure land that could truly produce red gold. With his ability as a merchant, he would be able to earn a lot of wealth in no time, there was no doubt about that.

"Da Yi, since you are willing to invite me to Chijin Mountain, how can I refuse?" Xiu Xiang immediately agreed happily: "I am willing to move my whole family there."

Li Yi immediately said: "Very good, in that case, please prepare immediately, we will set off soon. After all, this is Shenmu City, and the fact that I killed the direct descendants of the Shenmu lineage will soon be known. Once exposed, it will cause trouble."

"I am clear about this matter. Please give me some time to prepare." Xiu Xiang said, and immediately ran away in a hurry.

Then he called his guards, servants, and wives and concubines to start packing up valuables in preparation for moving.

At the same time, Xiu Xiang also left several loyal servants to guard the house, after all, there was a possibility that they might return here in the future.

Not long after, after Xiu Xiang had finished his work, Li Yi immediately performed the Cloud-Flying Technique.

A huge auspicious cloud condensed out of thin air, carrying Xiu Xiang's family, big and small, into the air.

"Let's go back to Chijin Mountain." Having accomplished his goal, Li Yi did not drag his feet and evacuated from here as quickly as possible to avoid any further complications.

Even if the people of the Shenmu lineage tracked down the whereabouts, they could only find an empty house with only a few loyal old slaves left behind. If they wanted to take revenge, they would have to go to Chijin Mountain.

After some time, when the red gold Taoist weapon is refined, the realm of these cultivators in the Dharma Ending Age will be restored.

Then the overall strength of Chijin Mountain will reach a very terrifying level.

The Shenmu lineage will have to think twice before dealing with Chijin Mountain again.

Therefore, it is important to seize the time to become stronger.

With the full use of the art of riding on clouds, the white cloud flew back to Chijin Mountain in a moment. Li Yi sent everyone to Chishan City and settled Xiu Xiang's family.

To show sincerity.

Li Yi even used the house-building technique to level an area and built a grand mansion for Xiu Xiang.

Xiu Xiang was very moved and expressed his gratitude to Li Yi.

However, these are trivial matters. Li Yi just wants to return the favor. After all, the leaves of the sacred tree he got this time were really helpful to him, and even related to the future survival of Chijin Mountain.
