Chapter 857 -334: 36 Types of Top-Grade Spirit Wood, Crown Prince_4

Like other villains, Gu Shengtong continued to speak harshly as usual.

“You can’t even deal with Shenxiao, and yet you want to deal with me? Your defeat and capture is your fate, be responsible for your actions!” Yi Tian still had his hand on Gu Shengtong’s shoulder, speaking sincerely and earnestly.

“I…”

Gu Shengtong was at a loss for words.

Shenxiao was a mountain he couldn’t climb over, even after thinking hard for half a month.

The Lord in front of him seemed like an abyss, unfathomable.

The Lord appeared not to use any special means but easily captured him.

The Lord was wreaking havoc in Shenxiao Territory, whether Shenxiao was alive or dead?

“Ning Xiaomo, caught a few birds and beasts?”

Seeing Gu Shengtong no longer making any noise, Yi Tian asked Ning Xiaomo.

“Shenxiao Territory is too big, not much time…” Ning Xiaomo smiled sheepishly, embarrassed to admit he only killed a dozen auspicious birds and beasts.

His top-level Fog Scroll lasted twenty-four hours, whereas Yi Tian’s mercenaries only had eight hours.

Could Yi Tian leave, and he still stay?

Impossible.

If Shenxiao suddenly returned, he’d be doomed.

In Shenxiao Territory, he was unable to teleport using the top-level Fog Scroll.

“Alright, that’s good enough. I’ll come back after Shenxiao has developed some more.” Yi Tian didn’t say much more.

He didn’t feel like wasting the remaining time to search the mountains and fields for auspicious beasts, birds, honeybees, and butterflies.

Next, for half an hour, Yi Tian roamed different sections of the Intermediate City.

Occasionally, he could hear loud rumbling noises.

The cities were different from others; destroying a section only deducted some Territory Points, not all.

Yi Tian tried his best to completely destroy everything he could within this Intermediate City.

Ning Xiaomo was secretly astonished at the side, thinking it was too fierce!

The Celestial Pride Venerable, well-deserved!

The second batch of Lords who descended would be just as helpless when encountering Yi Tian, right?

“See you later!”

Grabbing Gu Shengtong and carrying him on his back, Yi Tian activated the Celestial Dao Stone to leave.

“Wait a moment, big shot!”

Ning Xiaomo quickly stopped Yi Tian.

“What’s the matter? I’ll give you your ten billion Celestial Dao Coins when I return. With the Celestial Dao Contract, I won’t cheat you out of your hard-earned payment—it’s part of my reputation.”

This ambush on Shenxiao Territory, while not achieving the ultimate goal, still brought Yi Tian much satisfaction with the acquired items.

“I absolutely trust you, big shot. But can you escort me out of the territory? Don’t misunderstand; it’s not that I’m afraid of death. It’s just that if you accepted my mercenary task, if something unforeseen happens, my life is insignificant. But to mar the beauty with a flaw wouldn’t be ideal.”

Ning Xiaomo delicately expressed to Yi Tian that he was very scared and hoped for an escort out of the territory. He feared Shenxiao might be hiding somewhere and ambush him suddenly.

“Hmm! Okay.”

Yi Tian readily agreed; Ning Xiaomo’s reasoning was sound.

Escorting Ning Xiaomo out of Shenxiao Territory, even at a jog, took only ten minutes.

No dangers along the way!

Ning Xiaomo could teleport away at any time.

“See you later!”

After saying goodbye again, Yi Tian, carrying Gu Shengtong, activated the Celestial Dao Stone to leave.

A flash of light, and Yi Tian returned to his territory.

“Congratulations, Lord, on completing the task and earning one million Celestial Dao Coins. This task is rated as S-level. Mercenary: Second in the World; Task Count: 2076; Success Rate: 100%.”

He immediately took Gu Shengtong into the SSS-level Celestial Prison.

The conditions of the SSS-level Celestial Prison were by no means just a slight improvement over the SS-level Celestial Prison.

Gu Shengtong turned pale, now a prisoner again, feeling like a toy.

Yet what could he say?

Yi Tian had given him a chance, but he was simply outmatched!

It was already ten o’clock at night, earlier than expected.

“Detection: Lord’s territory’s eighteen-story attic has been completed!”

“Detection: Lord’s territory’s eighteen-story attic has been completed.”

“Detection: Lord’s territory’s ancient-style building complex has been completed.”

Three consecutive notification sounds rang out.

Yi Tian first went to the eighteen-story attic.

Two exquisite palace-style attics were set on the western shore of North Lake, with over a hundred rooms, various warehouses, and great halls, among others.

A simple arrangement would make for perfect Artifact Refining Pavilion and Alchemy Pavilion.

More attics still needed to be built here, for the Academy, Wen Pavilion, Array Pavilion, Talisman Pavilion, Mechanical Weapons Pavilion, Puppet Pavilion, Celestial Secret Pavilion, and more.

With the territory transitioning to a Cultivation Civilization, these departments were crucial.

In addition, large-scale planting of Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wheat was necessary; Yi Tian already had a certain foundation.

A large-scale planting of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Special metal vein was needed since Mechanical Weapons, puppets, and Artifact Refining depended heavily on special metals.

A stable source of Beast Core supply.

Yi Tian used to be indifferent to Beast Cores.

Now with things expanded, Yi Tian understood the importance of Beast Cores — they were needed in all aspects.

He placed the high-level Pill Furnace obtained from Shenxiao Territory in the Pill Pavilion, planning to remind Sun Simiao tomorrow.

Herbs had to be collected continuously!

He rode the Celestial Immortal Crane to the Sky Island.

Hundreds of various buildings constructed by Cyan Mist Spirit Mountain.

The latter sections of the buildings had dozens built upon Cyan Mist Spirit Mountain.

Cyan Mist Spirit River flowed past the ancient-style building complex, eventually flowing into the Peach Blossom Pool.

The Peach Blossom Pool was located next to the ancient-style building complex.

The Spiritual Bamboo Forest was on the opposite side, further behind and there lay ten acres of Purple Sand Spirit Soil.

The design was perfect.

Once Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Spirit Wood are relocated here, it would resemble a Mortal Immortal Realm.

Yi Tian took out all Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from the Storage Ring.

He contacted Qin Fanshuang to trade Spirit Wood and Spirit Fruit Trees.

“You can keep the Blessing Spirit Padauk Tree, Five-Colored Yellow Flower Pear Tree, and Ancient Willow Tree as compensation for helping. I already have these three Spirit Woods and they are not useful to me anymore. If you find Weapon Spirit Jade useful, pick some items!” Yi Tian said to Qin Fanshuang.

“It’s just a small task; I don’t need anything; I’m developing well now.” Qin Fanshuang declined the offer from Yi Tian.

Too precious!

Things she couldn’t even imagine!

Yi Tian’s trust moved her deeply.

Qin Fanshuang saw more directly why Yi Tian was called the First Lord.

Every item was something she couldn’t even hope to reach.

She knew Yi Tian was attacking a very formidable Lord’s territory.

She didn’t ask, just silently offered minor help within her capacity.

“How about this! Your territory’s Spiritual Qi should be enhanced for better development.”

Having already given Ning Xiaomo ten billion Celestial Dao Coins, Yi Tian didn’t care about the Blessing Spirit Padauk, Five-Colored Yellow Flower Pear Tree, and Ancient Willow Tree, which were useless to him.

“Your development is something we can’t keep up with. I need to proceed step by step without other aid.” Qin Fanshuang replied to Yi Tian.

“You should keep them; otherwise, I won’t feel right trading with you next time.”

Yi Tian knew Qin Fanshuang was arguing irrationally; enhancing the Territorial Spirit Qi Density was entirely beneficial to a territory.

Even after all that talk, Qin Fanshuang still didn’t accept.

If it were cheaper items, she would accept.

Expensive items, she felt she couldn’t repay.

Yi Tian was helpless, thinking next time he’ll get a Talent Blood Bead to gift Qin Fanshuang.

But she probably won’t accept it either!

Qin Fanshuang was financially stable and could afford many pills; Yi Tian could only sell her some priceless pills and Skill Upgrade Stones.
