Capítulo 1660: Chapter 1645: The Strange Behavior of the Blue-scaled Dragon King
The Five Immortals Hall owns nurous types of mines across countless small worlds within the Ten Thousand Worlds, many of which are extrely difficult to excavate.
For ordinary people, let alone mining, just surviving in these mines is a significant problem, and martial artists with a certain level of cultivation are required.
In general, there is no martial artist who is willing to do this kind of laborious work, so the martial artist miners of the Five Immortals Hall are mostly prisoners of war or slaves purchased from various worlds.
In addition to these, there are also mbers within the Five Immortals Hall who have violated hall rules.
In so cases, working for five or ten years in the small world mines can barely be endured.
But a hundred years, that would be truly terrifying.
So far, of the prisoner-of-war miners purchased by the Five Immortals Hall, less than one in ten can endure over a hundred years in the mines.
It’s not that the Five Immortals Hall’s treatnt is too harsh, but those mines require martial artists to continuously consu spiritual power to extract ores, leaving little ti to sit and recover spiritual power.
Over ti, martial artists’ spiritual power becos increasingly depleted, and their cultivation gradually declines.
Although the Five Immortals Hall provides so low-grade spirit stones for them to recover spiritual power, in the long term, they are basically ruined.
In other words, for Mountain God Yi Xun to make such a disposition, even if this Shopkeeper Zong Qi manages to endure for a hundred years, he’s already done for.
And, he also has to survive in the mines for a hundred years.
Zong Qi imdiately panicked, kneeling there, kowtowing to Mountain God Yi Xun, begging for rcy.
However, Yi Xun paid no heed to Zong Qi; allowing his efforts at Tianyun Hall to go to waste was no small offense, and forgiving him would be strange.
“Lord Di, you see, are you satisfied with how this old man has handled the situation?” Mountain God Yi Xun asked Ye Zhen.
Upon hearing this, Zong Qi was imdiately filled with despair.
Damn, being disposed of to this extent, close to death and certainly ruined, yet asking if Di Kuohai is satisfied.
If Di Kuohai is not satisfied, wouldn’t he be diced into pieces?
This Di Kuohai, in the Five Immortals Hall, what kind of status does he hold?
As an Arena King, it shouldn’t be enough to make soone like Mountain God Yi Xun treat him this way.
Zong Qi didn’t know Ye Zhen’s status within the Five Immortals Hall, but at this mont, he was filled with profound regret, to the point of bitterness.
If he could do it all over again, he would definitely sit back, relax, find a girl to chat over tea, achievent is important, but his own life more so.
In terms of Zong Qi’s disposition, Ye Zhen did not wish to intervene; however, considering Yi Xun’s handling, he was satisfied and nodded.
“As long as Lord Di is satisfied. Then I wish to know, what requirents does Lord Di have for the next shopkeeper of the Five Immortals Hall’s branch?” Yi Xun asked.
Yi Xun was genuinely terrified, as it almost resulted in total ruin.
“Requirents? None; you just need to appoint a suitable shopkeeper…”
Halfway through his words, Ye Zhen stopped abruptly, his gaze falling on Zong Qi.
According to Liao Feibai’s words, this guy indeed has ability, considered a talent, although his power grab was a bit hasty.
But there were reasons for that; Ye Zhen believed that after today’s incident and the warning given, Zong Qi wouldn’t dare entertain any idea of seizing control of the Market of Dulong Island.
Moreover, it’s often better to utilize soone with blemishes than soone without.
Ye Zhen thought that the knocked-down Zong Qi in front of him should be the most suitable candidate.
If Yi Xun appointed soone new, even if personally instructed, who knows what unexpected problems could arise.
Ye Zhen rely expressed his thought, and Zong Qi, desperate at this point, acted as if grasping a life-saving straw, kowtowing repeatedly to the seated Mountain God Yi Xun and Ye Zhen.
“Grand Deacon, I beg you, give a chance to redeem myself! This ti I will definitely stay in line and fully cooperate with the Sky Wing Trading Company…”
With Mountain God Yi Xun’s perception, he imdiately understood Ye Zhen’s intent.
On second thought, allowing Zong Qi, who had been scolded fiercely, to redeem himself might be more reassuring.
Having gone through this, unless Zong Qi loses his mind, he would never make the sa mistake again.
“Very well, since Lord Di pleads on your behalf, this ti you are allowed to redeem yourself. But rember, should you deviate again, the penalty will be severe!” Mountain God Yi Xun said sternly.
Zong Qi, having escaped yet another disaster, was nearly overjoyed to tears, filled with gratitude and awe toward Ye Zhen.
Though Zong Qi would continue as shopkeeper, it remains undeniable that in the cooperation between the Five Immortals Hall and Sky Wing Trading Company, so matters are not yet clearly defined.
And on so matters, even Shopkeeper Zong Qi doesn’t dare to make decisions.
For example, the issue of patrol command.
Currently, most elite patrol mbers are from the Five Immortals Hall, though the patrol commander belongs to Sky Wing Trading Company.
This raises the issue of command structure.
After discussing with Mountain God Yi Xun, it was decided that all experts from the Five Immortals Hall would be under the command of the patrol commander.
At the sa ti, a deputy commander position was established, to be appointed by Shopkeeper Zong Qi of the Five Immortals Hall branch, facilitating command over the hall’s experts.
Simultaneously, in guarding the Market of Dulong Island, the patrols of the Five Immortals Hall must unconditionally comply with the orders of Liao Feibai and others.
Apart from this, various other cooperation issues were also discussed.
In many respects, Mountain God Yi Xun took the initiative to make concessions, yet this was within Ye Zhen’s expectations.
It seed Mountain God Yi Xun was quite willing to offer favors to Ye Zhen.
However, despite racking his brain, Ye Zhen could not fathom why Mountain God Yi Xun would do so.
Nevertheless, with nurous cooperation details personally arranged by Mountain God Yi Xun, it laid a solid foundation for the Five Immortals Hall branch’s collaborative efforts with Sky Wing Trading Company at the Market of Dulong Island.
Three days later, with Mountain God Yi Xun’s departure, Liao Feibai reluctantly bid farewell to Ye Zhen as well.
There were less than twenty days left until Ye Zhen had to report to Luoyi for duty, and he had to set out on his journey.
However, before leaving, Ye Zhen left the Soul General Black Wolf, brought from the Ancient Demon God Temple, at the Market of Dulong Island.
With the combat power of the Soul General Black Wolf, the shortage of experts in the Sky Wing Trading Company at the Market of Dulong Island should see so improvent.
A day and a half later, Ye Zhen arrived at the Xiansheng Water Mansion, where the Sky Wing Three Saints, already inford, eagerly awaited him.
To Ye Zhen’s surprise, the cultivation of the Sky Wing Three Saints turned out to be much stronger than he had imagined.
However, what Ye Zhen currently concerned most was, the Blue-scaled Dragon King and the domain controlled by the Blue-scaled Dragon Palace, as the Blue-scaled Dragon King posed a significant threat.
“Fourth Brother, according to your request, we have exhausted all ans to gather information about the Blue-scaled Dragon Palace’s movents and the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s whereabouts.
We indeed obtained a large amount of information, but the situation seems quite peculiar!”
