Wanbao Lady

Chapter 224 Visit and Dispute

I thought life would go on like this in a dull manner.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the sequelae of this bloodline would become apparent.

Because the Shura bloodline itself is domineering and tough, as age increases, it will gradually be automatically stimulated and the Shura appearance will begin to appear.

Compared with Qu Chong's appearance, there is a world of difference.

In order to prevent him from becoming a Shura that brings harm to the world, Qu Mao used his own spiritual power to seal the Shura appearance in him.

However, even so, every winter, the Shura phase would try every means to break out of the body, causing Qu Chong endless pain.

Qu Mao followed the ancient recipe and refined the Blood-Melting Pill every year in an effort to eliminate this blood defect and allow the two phases to merge as much as possible.

In this way, even if Qu Chong transforms into a Shura, he can still maintain his own will.

Unfortunately, the Blood-Melting Pill is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

Qu Mao traveled far and wide until he found the remaining scrolls of "Methods of Cultivating Exotic Wood Species" and discovered the Sanyi Tea Tree, a strange tree that can sort out blood and even transform blood.

So he threw himself at the foot of Yudu Mountain.

After listening to Qu Mao's story, Chong Fan was also deeply moved.

This master is not much worse than my father.

"My Lady, then my disciple..."

As he spoke, Qu Mao carefully looked at Chong Fan's expression.

The head lady said calmly, "Since you have entered my Yudu Mountain, you are a disciple of Yudu. But this child's situation is special, so you just need to keep a close watch on him on weekdays."

Hearing this, Qu Mao was immediately delighted and bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

-

When Qu Chong woke up, he saw a lot of people surrounding his bed, some were curious, some were worried, and some were sympathetic.

The only thing I didn't see was disgust.

This made him feel relieved.

"Hey, disciple, you're awake!"

"Oh, wake up, wake up!"

"A Chong, you finally woke up!"

Xia Li sat down on the bed without any hesitation, and asked, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Looking at the concerned expressions of the people and the monsters, a warm feeling flowed through Qu Chong's heart.

He shook his head, "No...it doesn't hurt anymore!"

Then he said cautiously: "Aren't you afraid? I look like that..."

Unexpectedly, everyone and the monsters just smiled indifferently.

"Hey, in this secret realm, can your Shura appearance still turn the world upside down? What is there to be afraid of!"

"That's right, under the Queen's nose, can you really let your Shura face do evil?"

"Hahaha, just rest assured and live a good life here!"

"We are not worried if you are inside, but we are worried if you are outside!"

Looking at the people and the monsters chatting with each other in a relaxed tone without any blame, Qu Chong's eyes suddenly became moist.

Is this... the feeling of home?

very nice.

At this moment, Xia Li's expression changed, and then he took out his disciple token and pretended to listen attentively.

After a few breaths, she said "yes" to the token, then apologized to Qu Chong: "Sorry, I have to go back first, Master Sun is looking for me."

Qu Chong nodded repeatedly, "Then go quickly, don't delay important matters."

It was not until everyone in the room had left and only his master was left that Qu Chong learned that his life story was already known to everyone.

He looked up at Qu Mao and said with emotion: "Master, you are right, we have really come to the right place. There is no better place than this."

Hearing this, Qu Mao smiled, proudly took out the wine flask from his waist, and took a sip.

-

Chunta, Department of Foreign Affairs.

"What? You want me to go to the Jiaowang Mansion with you?"

Xia Li was surprised and happy.

I didn't expect that Master Sun would call her when he was ordered to trade the blood spring this time!

That's in the mysterious sea!

Not only can you ride on the Jiao boat, but you can also enjoy the unique scenery of the sea along the way. It is undoubtedly a wonderful trip.

Sun Yue nodded and said, "Yes, you should go with us. First, you can see the world. Second, I see that you are good at speaking. Maybe I will entrust the matter of the blood spring transaction to you in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Li suddenly felt a sense of mission as if he had been entrusted with an important task.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

-

As the dragon boat moved forward, the disciples of Yudu Mountain arrived at the Dragon King's Palace under the sea with familiarity.

This time, it was Master Jinlin who once again received them warmly.

But seeing Young Master Jinlin's eyes secretly looking behind everyone, Sun Yue couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Who are you looking for, young master?"

Young Master Jinlin immediately withdrew his gaze, with a little panic.

"No...no," he looked at Xia Li, the newcomer in the team, and immediately changed the subject, "This guy looks unfamiliar."

Sun Yue didn't expose him either.

With Sun Yue's introduction, the two sides got to know each other.

"Everyone, please come with me."

Led by Young Master Jinlin, a trading team came to the hall again and were treated as guests.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. I will go find my father and explain this matter."

Having said that, Young Master Jinlin bowed and then walked out of the room.

I originally thought that I just needed to inform my father, and then both parties would follow the agreement, hand over the money and the goods, and the matter would be completed.

But unexpectedly, when the Dragon King heard this, his expression became inexplicably gloomy.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Young Master Jinlin asked cautiously.

The Jiao King on the main seat only uttered a low “hmm” and asked, “Let me ask you, how much does it cost for us to mine one liter of blood spring?”

Young Master Jinlin said without hesitation, "Taking into account manpower, material resources, and losses, it will probably cost one hundred spirit stones."

The Jiao King nodded and asked, "What about our selling price?"

Although Young Master Jinlin was puzzled, he immediately replied, "Take half of it and sell it for 200 spirit stones."

"Well," the Jiao King nodded again, and then asked, "What's the market price?"

"Father, the price ranges from 300 to 500 spirit stones."

The Dragon King was seen with his hands behind his back, looking down from above with a gloomy expression.

"The people of Yudu Mountain said that they need this item for at least ten years. If we sell it to them at 70% of the selling price every year, how much do you think we will lose?"

Before Young Master Jinlin could answer, he shouted again: "The blood spring is extremely precious, and now it is all in our hands. Even if we raise the price, there will be people willing to buy it."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Jinlin looked up in surprise.

He quickly cupped his hands and advised: "Father, you must not do that! We have already promised them before. If we go back on our word now, we will definitely become enemies with Yudushan and it will also ruin our reputation!"

However, the Dragon King sneered, "Yes, we did promise them before, but we have nothing to prove it, and there is no written contract. Who would believe it if we tell others?"

"Father!!!"

Young Master Jinlin suddenly became anxious and angry.

He didn't understand why his father could say such a thing.

He clenched his fists tightly, his voice slightly bitter, "But... didn't you always teach me to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude? Why..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Dragon King with a cold voice.

"We have already repaid your kindness with that batch of blood springs. Now, it is time to get down to business."
