Wen Zhong had just returned to his tent when he was summoned by King Zhou.
“Grand Master, I heard from General Mo Li Qing that you were engaged in a magical battle with someone. What exactly happened?”
A magical battle between Taidi Jinxian-level beings could be sensed from hundreds of miles away, naturally, it could not escape the eyes of those who were paying attention.
Originally, after hearing the report, King Zhou wanted to send the four Mo generals to support the Grand Master, but soon he changed his mind.
Wen Zhong pondered for a moment and answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, I was merely out searching for my mount when I encountered some unexpected events."
“So your Mo Qilin is missing, did you manage to find it, Grand Master?” Upon hearing this, King Zhou continued to ask with concern.
“You could say I found it, or you could say I didn't. I didn't find it, because it met an unfortunate end, becoming a delicacy for someone else. You could say I found it, because the stone slab roasted meat that Your Majesty just ate was from that Mo Qilin.”
“What? Shi Hao invited us to eat Mo Qilin?”
Upon hearing this, King Zhou was instantly shocked. He widened his eyes and it took a while before he came back to his senses. Seeing that the Grand Master didn't seem to be joking, he burst into laughter: "Shi Hao is truly a remarkable person, daring to attack the Grand Master's mount. No wonder the roasted meat was so delicious, it was actually Mo Qilin! Compared to it, the meat forest in my palace is simply bland. Haha, Grand Master, do you think you could let him off for my sake?”
King Zhou also understood why he had said that the Grand Master had fought someone, he must have gone to find Shi Hao’s trouble, he didn’t know what the other party’s situation was now.
Wen Zhong laughed bitterly: “Your Majesty, you exaggerate. How dare I? He is actually also a disciple of my Intercepting Sect. Even with my seniority, I must address him as a Senior Uncle.”
“Haha, interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect Shi Hao to be a disciple of the Intercepting Sect.” King Zhou laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Shi Hao dared to kill the Mo Qilin, that was fine, but the most crucial thing was that, by chance, the Grand Master himself had also eaten a lot. Anyone would have been unable to bear it, right?
But who would have thought that the outcome of things was so convoluted? The enraged Grand Master went to settle accounts with him, only to discover that the other party was actually a senior of his own sect?
King Zhou was greatly stimulated, wouldn’t the Grand Master have to bow to Shi Hao, what kind of expression would the Grand Master have at that time, he really wanted to see it.
“Grand Master, do you think we should set out for Chaoge soon. Before we go back, I plan to see Shi Hao again.”
“The day after tomorrow. The sacrificial rites should be over tomorrow, we can pack up and return to Chaoge. But Your Majesty, if you want to win over Senior Uncle, I advise you to give up. There's no chance he'll serve the Yin Dynasty.”
Wen Zhong, seeing King Zhou’s thoughts, directly told him to abandon that idea. With the status of a Senior Uncle, they were usually the ones making the moves, how could they possibly become involved in the game themselves.
That was why he had declined his request to come down the mountain, saying that he owed him a favor.
“I feel a kinship with him, how would I know unless I try. By the way, please ask the Grand Master to help prepare a Jiao dragon. I’ll take it as a gift to pay a visit. Perhaps I can taste Shi Hao’s cooking again.” King Zhou said.
“It seems like Your Majesty’s purpose isn’t just to win over Senior Uncle, you probably also want to satisfy your own desires.”
Wen Zhong knew his Majesty’s ridiculous deeds, and he was about to reprimand him, but thinking that his Senior Uncle and the King shared the same indulgence, he could only nod his head in resignation.
After all, it was just a Jiao dragon, as long as it wasn’t a purebred dragon, it wasn’t a big deal.
Otherwise, where would the dragon liver and phoenix marrow that immortals talk about come from? They say they are so, but in reality, they are all mixed-blood Jiao dragons and mixed-blood phoenix birds, they just have a little dragon and phoenix bloodline.
There might have been more purebred dragons in ancient times, but after the Great Dragon-Han Calamity, the three races suffered countless casualties, and their birth rate was extremely low, now they are all over the four seas.
…………
The next day, Wu Ling, whose injuries had mostly healed, left, and Shi Hao returned to his normal life.
“Senior Uncle, the lobsters in the pond are many times bigger than before, and they’ve even bred a second generation!” As if she had discovered something, Cai Yun excitedly called Shi Hao over.
Shi Hao also saw the shrimp fry floating on the surface of the water. There were quite a lot of them, enough to make him feel claustrophobic.
If he hadn’t put up a net to separate them beforehand, they would probably have been eaten by the big carp. Now it seemed that the survival rate of the shrimp fry was very high.
As for why the lobsters would grow to be as big as Australian lobsters, Shi Hao felt that apart from the abundant spiritual energy of the prehistoric world, the excellent breed of lobsters was also a reason.
A system-made product, it must be of high quality.
“I’m afraid the pond will be overcrowded with lobsters soon, we need to find a way to deal with it.” Shi Hao said.
“Senior Uncle, should we release those shrimp fry into the river again?”
Cai Yun felt that if she had a treasure like the Mountain River Diagram, she could raise the lobsters in the treasure’s space, but that kind of treasure was extremely rare, even Cai Yun didn’t have one.
“But compared to those large creatures that live in the water, the lobsters are too weak. That batch you released last time, even without Little Ling, might have been eaten by other fish. So you can release them, but you have to set up a protective array around the surrounding waters, such as an illusion array. Once their population grows, you won’t have to worry about them anymore.”
The fact that lobsters could be used as bait by Little Ling showed how attractive they were to other fish.
Cai Yun giggled, “Senior Uncle, please leave it to me!! While I’m not particularly good at formations, setting up an illusion array is child’s play for me.”
“You’re right, the Intercepting Sect is indeed the number one sect in the three realms when it comes to formations.”
During the Conflagration of the Gods, the Intercepting Sect’s formations had truly shone, becoming famous throughout the three realms.
For example, the Nine-Curve Yellow River Array of the three Xiao fairies, its achievements were glorious. It had wiped out the upper three flowers of several second-generation disciples of the Interpretation Sect. If it hadn’t been for the intervention of the saints, most of the Interpretation Sect’s disciples would have fallen to the Nine-Curve Yellow River Array.
Furthermore, there was the Ten Thousand Immortal Array, which could mobilize the power of ten thousand immortals of the Intercepting Sect using the power of the array. It mainly used the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign as the eye of the array, and the Seven Fragrant Chariot controlled by the Golden Spirit Saint Mother as an auxiliary. The array contained three sub-arrays, the Taiji Array, the Two Instrument Array, and the Four Symbol Array. Its power was boundless.
With Cai Yun, the cultivator, helping out, many things could be left to her, making Shi Hao less worried.
He even considered clearing a few thousand acres of land at the foot of the mountain to grow some grain.
It could not only be used as everyday staple food. Grain was also great for brewing wine, which would come in handy with the brewing technique he had gotten from signing in!
There were a lot of spiritual fruits in the prehistoric world, which were enough for brewing wine, but fruit wine and grain wine were completely different.
