"Isn't it?" Song Zhong heard this and immediately exclaimed: "It only cost a quarter of an hour to drive a high-grade spirit stone? It's almost the price of a low-grade magic weapon? Why is it so expensive?"
"This thing is so big, it drives very fast, and the surrounding protection must be fully opened to test safety. In addition, the lights inside the golden dragon boat and various facilities require spiritual energy, so the spiritual stones are consumed. It's more serious." Lao Fang then laughed and said: "Actually, this is nothing! The consumption of traveling in normal times is different from that of a real war. It is said that when the golden dragon boat has full firepower, two or three people can easily The divine monks had to stay away. But at that time, the number of high-grade spiritual stones consumed every quarter of an hour was more than 10,000. It was simply a waste of money!"
When Song Zhong heard this, he suddenly realized: "My dear, I finally understand why the Queen gave it to me. She can't afford love. It takes up space to hold it for herself, so she just used it as a favor!"
"Hehe, that's about it!" Lao Fang said with a smile: "However, Her Majesty the Queen also has good intentions. After all, Your Highness, you are not very strong now, and there are many existences that can threaten you. Unlike Her Majesty, in this The world can come and go freely, and there is no need to worry about safety issues at all! That’s why she sent you the emperor’s car of the East China Sea Empire in advance to protect yourself.”
"This thing is good, but the problem is that I have to afford it?" Song Zhong then smiled bitterly and said: "I don't have many high-grade spiritual stones to burn it!"
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this!" Lao Fang then laughed and said: "After all, you are His Highness the Crown Prince. Although the East China Sea Empire does not have the ability to let you drive around in a golden dragon boat every day, it can still get 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones. , this is enough for you to use the golden dragon boat to escape in times of crisis!"
When Song Zhong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and then said: "The relationship is good, where is the spiritual stone?"
"Haha, we are already in the golden dragon boat, enough for you to fight for an hour!" Lao Fang said with a smile: "Look, should we take the golden dragon boat now, or fly there by ourselves?"
"Do you still have to ask?" Song Zhong didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and put the golden dragon boat into his natal space with a snap.
When Lao Fang saw it, he was startled, and then he said in shock: "Oh, Your Highness is quite capable, isn't he? How can you put away such a big golden dragon boat?"
"Haha!" Song Zhong just smiled and said nothing. He said to himself, Master Dao's natal space is already six to seven thousand feet in diameter. Let alone a mere three hundred feet of golden dragon boat, even a three thousand feet of hill, we can put it away for you.
But these are Song Zhong's secrets and cannot be told to Lao Fang. So he changed the subject and said: "By the way, Lao Fang, let's go to that True Water Palace now?"
"It's already the crown prince's uterus!" Lao Fang said with a smile: "From now on, it's yours!" Come on, I'll show you the way. As he spoke, Lao Fang took out a giant long sword. After inputting mana, it immediately transformed into a giant sword dozens of feet long and several feet wide.
Lao Fang then asked Song Zhong and Lei Shan'er to sit on it, and then took them to fly.
On the way, Song Zhong began to ask about the Zhenshui Palace. The result was that he didn't know if he didn't ask, and he was shocked when he asked. But it turns out that this True Water Palace is actually a cave left by an ancient monk. Although it does not occupy a large area and is located in a remote place, there is a natural Xuanyin True Pool.
This Xuanyin True Water is the essence of the aggregation of water spiritual energy, which is similar to Song Zhong's Five Elements Essence Water. It's just that Song Zhong's Five Elements Essence Water is the purification of the aggregation of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy, while Xuanyin True Water is just water-based spiritual energy.
In terms of effect, the Five Elements Essence Water is naturally the most effective. However, in practical application, Xuanyin True Water is even better. Because it is extremely rare for monks and monsters to be good at the Five Elements attribute skills at the same time, the Five Elements spiritual energy is generally only used to refine spiritual elixirs.
But Xuanyin True Water is different. Not only can it be used to refine advanced water-based elixirs, it is also extremely suitable for water-based monks or monster beasts to practice. In the East China Sea Empire, water monsters account for the majority, so once the Xuanyin True Pool was discovered, it immediately became the focus of competition among all parties.
As a result, no one was convinced by anyone, so they started fighting and suffered numerous casualties. But in the end, no one can absolutely monopolize this place. With no choice but to invite the then emperor of the East China Sea Empire for discussion.
After some debate, the decision was finally made. The Xuanyin True Pool and the True Water Palace where it is located are both under the emperor's name. However, the right to use it will be auctioned for a period of one hundred years. Whoever wants to use it will have to spend big money to beat the competition. And these finances are divided equally among others. In this way, everyone's interests are the same and the dispute is settled. The current user of the True Water Palace is a thousand-year-old turtle named Ao Tian.
It is said that Ao Tian's strength is even stronger than Lao Fang's. He is close to the peak of the sixth level and is only slightly inferior to the one-horned dragon queen.
Song Zhong thought about it, is it appropriate for him, a fourth-level rookie, to drive people away with the Queen's verbal nonsense? That old guy spent a huge price but didn't live in the True Water Palace. How could he be willing to do so? If he beat himself to death in a fit of rage, would that be an injustice
Thinking of this, Song Zhong told Lao Fang what he was worried about. As a result, Lao Fang burst out laughing after hearing this, and then told Song Zhong that there was no need to worry at all. Ao Tian would definitely not dare to take action against Song Zhong, and he would be very happy to sell out Zhenshui Palace.
Song Zhong doesn’t understand? He hurriedly asked why. After Lao Fang explained for a while, Song Zhong figured out what was going on.
It turns out that monsters and human society are somewhat similar. Their ethnic group places great importance on bloodline. People like Song Zhong who own the Hetu are absolute superiors, similar to the existence of the royal family. But Ao Tian is just a descendant of a thin bloodline and belongs to the common people. Therefore, he must maintain absolute respect for Song Zhong.
In addition, given that Song Zhong has a promising future, if Ao Tian forms a good relationship today, Song Zhong will be indebted to him for a big favor. The favor of a level four monster is naturally nothing, but when Song Zhong advances to level seven or eight, or even level nine, the weight of this favor will be too great.
In addition, Song Zhong still had the Queen's order after all, so Aotian City would happily give up the Zhenshui Palace due to emotions and reasons.
Although Lao Fang explained it very clearly, Song Zhong was not familiar with the habits of monsters after all, so he understood in his heart, but he was still a little worried.
So, with mixed feelings, Song Zhong and Lei Shan'er, led by Lao Fang, finally arrived at Xuanshui Island, the so-called residence of Zhenshui Palace, after several hours of traveling.
…
Speaking of which, Xuanshui Island is actually not big, only a thousand miles in diameter. The scenery is pretty good, with mountains, water, and many spiritual trees. Especially in the middle, there is a large lake with a radius of dozens of miles, and the True Water Palace is on the lake.
As soon as he reached the sky above Zhenshui Palace, Song Zhong was immediately shocked by the majesty of Zhenshui Palace. This was a palace built purely with white jade. With a radius of several thousand feet, it looks like a bunker standing in the middle of the lake.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that around the True Water Palace, there are shoals only a few feet deep. The water is densely packed with colorful things everywhere, shining beautifully. Song Zhong took a closer look and realized that those were broken magic weapons and magic weapons. Although it is broken, the light is still there, and spiritual objects are spiritual objects after all. Even if they are broken, spiritual energy is still overflowing. And the spiritual energy released by these countless fragments cannot be underestimated, making the entire periphery of Zhenshui Palace permeated with very rich spiritual energy, which is comparable to the best cultivation treasure land.
Song Zhong never expected that there would be so many magic weapons and fragments of magic weapons here. There are almost everywhere within a few miles of the Zhenshui Palace. If they are added together, there may not be more than a million. Where did all these fragments come from
Just when Song Zhong was thinking wildly, Lao Fang unhurriedly flicked out a sword light with his fingers and shot it into the Zhenshui Palace. In a short time, the restrictions on the outside of Zhenshui Palace were lifted directly, and then the middle door opened wide, and an old man in white flew out with a smile and said: "Brother Fang, what gust of wind blew you to me! Oops, flash The little girl is here too? It’s really a rare visitor!"
When Song Zhong heard this, he immediately looked at the other party carefully. I discovered that this thousand-year-old Gui Aotian was indeed an extraordinary person. Although on the surface, he doesn't have anything outstanding, he is just an old man with an arched back and walking with a cane, but in fact, the more ordinary he is, the more people are wary of him. Because a mortal obviously cannot fly in the sky at such a fast speed. Being able to fly like this and still keep oneself silent, it is obvious that this person's cultivation has already reached a certain level of proficiency.
Lei Shan'er was a junior and did not dare to be rude. He hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Shan'er has met Senior Ao!"
Although Lao Fang carelessly called Ao Tian Lao Ao when he was in front of the Queen, he did not dare to be so presumptuous in front of her. He hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Ao, I am here under your majesty's order!"
Ao Tian first smiled at Shan'er and nodded slightly as a greeting, then he left Lao Fang aside, staring at Song Zhong with a pair of small eyes, and said with a surprised look on his face: "Strange, why am I in Xiao'er?" Do you feel the aura of the same race in your brother?"
"Because he is a member of your race!" Lao Fang hurriedly interrupted: "Your Highness, please reveal your identity to Brother Ao!"
After hearing this, Song Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly activated the body-protecting divine light of the blood pattern of the river map, so that the lines in the shape of the river map were clearly revealed. After Ao Tian saw it, he was shocked at first, and then said in surprise: "Oh, it turns out he is a descendant of the emperor. Sorry, rude!" As he said that, Ao Tian actually took the initiative to salute Song Zhong with his fists clasped.
