Outside the temple is a pink temple ruins. A towering tree is rooted in the ruins, with lush branches and leaves, each leaf exuding divine energy.
Shenzhou said he wanted to move back to his hometown, but eventually changed his mind. He stayed next to the temple so that Chong Er and Shenbi could protect him. When Ning Tao came back, he also returned to his temple for easy contact.
Before Ning Tao could reach the foot of the towering tree, a longevity urn came out of the tree.
Ning Tao smiled and said: "Brother Shenzhou, it seems that the soil of the Shenzhou Mountain has raised you. Look, you have only been back for a few days, and you are already flourishing. I am afraid you have almost recovered?"
Shenzhou chuckled and said: "Thanks to my dear brother, I did recover faster after returning to the Holy Mountain. It would be better if I had some divine crystals."
I knew he would say that.
Ning Tao flicked his fingers, and a golden divine crystal flew towards Shenzhou.
"This is..." Shenzhou grabbed it, spread his fingers and took a look, and suddenly said in surprise: "This is the divine crystal!"
Ning Tao said: "I only refined a few pills this time. Zhong Er and Shenbi took two pills. I specially sent you one pill. Just one pill this time. I will give you more when I refine more in the future. ”
Shenzhou looked left and right at the divine crystal and said excitedly: "Brother, although it is only one crystal, this one is amazing. I have never seen such a pure and powerful divine crystal. I can't wait to see it now." It’s time to refine it, I guess it can directly enhance my divine power!”
Ning Tao asked casually: "Brother Shenzhou, have you ever seen the divine crystal refined by other gods?"
Only then did Shenzhou move his gaze from the divine crystal to Ning Tao's body. The birthday boy's face was full of smiles: "Brother, I have seen it before. Those gods in the ancient Linggu era asked me to help them send them away." Wherever I go, they often give me small favors, and some gods will give me a few divine crystals.”
"Brother Shenzhou, please continue." Ning Tao was very interested in his story.
Shenzhou continued: "The gods protect the believers and enjoy the believers' offerings. This is also an interdependent relationship. After the gods obtained the believers' soul energy, they refined the divine crystals, but the divine crystals they refined did not exist at all. The method is comparable to what you are refining now, dear brother. If the divine crystal you refined were placed in the Linggu era, it would definitely cause a sensation on the sacred mountain. I don’t know how many goddesses would be willing to use their treasures to exchange the divine crystal with you. My dear brother, you will become the most popular male god on the entire mountain."
Ning Tao felt that something was wrong with this, so he asked again: "What treasures will those goddesses use in exchange for my divine crystal?"
Shenzhou blinked at Ning Tao: "Brother Xian, you are wrong. For a veteran of the Three Realms like you, don't you know what treasures those goddesses will give you in exchange for divine crystals?"
Ning Tao: "..."
Once some labels are attached to you, you may not be able to take them off for the rest of your life.
But it doesn't matter. Being a faint king in the fairy world and a faint god in the sacred mountain can be regarded as the best use of one's talents and sticking to principles.
After a brief moment of embarrassment, Ning Tao changed the topic to business. He told Shenzhou how he had entered the Kingdom of Apocalypse again, picked up a few important things and chatted with Shenzhou, and finally asked Shenzhou for his opinion: "Brother Shenzhou, Let’s talk about those kids first, what do you think?”
The question of where the ironborn souls came from still troubled him to this day.
Shenzhou was silent for a moment but shook his head: "Brother Xian, it's not that I don't want to help you clear up your doubts, but I've never seen the Ironborn you mentioned. How could I know? But from your description, I think you are talking about That kind of ironborn must be related to the goddess of wisdom, Himya, and I think she has a big conspiracy.”
Ning Tao thinks about it too.
Shenzhou had never even seen what the Ironborn looked like, so how could he possibly know where the Ironborn's souls came from. He originally had a bunch of questions that he wanted to ask Shenzhou, but Shenzhou couldn't even answer the first one, so he didn't bother to waste his words.
"I'll go down and have a look. Brother Shenzhou, just stay here. Although Zhong Er is not serious, ordinary gods and artifacts cannot threaten it. It and Shenbi can protect you. If you encounter them, the couple can't deal with them. If there is a god or artifact, Zhong Er can also contact me," Ning Tao said.
"Take care, dear brother." Shenzhou bowed slightly to Ning Tao.
"Then I'm leaving." Ning Tao turned around and walked towards the temple.
"Good brother, stay." Shenzhou said.
Ning Tao stopped and turned to look at him: "Brother Shenzhou, is there anything else you can do?"
Shenzhou said: "That guy and his clinic were still here last night. He left early this morning and didn't say where he went. I think that guy has something on his mind. Brother Xian, it's best not to believe it too much."
Ning Tao nodded: "I understand."
There were too many things on his mind. Shenzhou didn't mention the Good and Evil Cauldron and Tianwai Clinic. He really forgot that the Good and Evil Cauldron and Tianwai Clinic had also come to the sacred mountain. But without Shenzhou's reminder, he couldn't completely believe in the Cauldron of Good and Evil, after all, that guy had deceived him so miserably. The reason why he settled the feud with the Good and Evil Cauldron was because the Good and Evil Cauldron agreed to work with him to deal with the God-Suppressing Monument. This is a transaction at best, not trust between allies or brothers at all. He can still measure this accurately.
Back at the temple, Chong Er and Shen Bi leaned together to refine the divine crystal.
Kun Ling, who had obviously lost weight due to torture, crawled towards Ning Tao and begged: "Great God, please take me away. I will tell you everything. I..."
Crack!
Another blue lightning struck over.
"Ah—" Kun Ling instantly curled up into a ball on the ground.
Ning Tao was speechless and didn't say anything. He quickly came to the lock wall, opened a convenient door and walked in.
Behind the convenience door is a room in Mark's house. The room is quiet, and Panbu's body fragrance still lingers in the air, which is light but smells good.
Ning Tao came out of the room and saw Mark, Qinse and Panbu standing in the yard talking. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three people's eyes gathered in this direction. But before the three of them saw Ning Tao, their movements stopped.
Time Stopping is really a very practical and good spell.
A little bit of the power of creation can activate the sigil of the time-stopping spell, and the spell can be cast faster than drawing a gun and firing it at someone.
After settling the three of them, Ning Tao closed the door, jumped to the courtyard door, opened the door and walked out. After walking out, he closed the courtyard door again, then reached out and knocked on the door.
It was only then that the three people in the yard were freed from the still state, and each of them looked at Ning Tao's door. But the door was closed tightly, no one opened the door at all, and no one came out from inside.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the courtyard door.
The eyes of the three people in the courtyard moved to the opposite direction of the courtyard door. Panbu reacted the fastest. When he heard the knock on the door, he ran towards the courtyard door and asked aloud: "Is it Brother Ali?"
Ning Tao answered through the door: "It's me."
When the courtyard door opened, Pan Bu caught sight of Ning Tao. He was so excited that he opened his arms and gave Ning Tao a hug.
Ning Tao had already prepared his lines, but when she hugged him and bumped into him, his lines were scattered.
"I heard Uncle Mark said that you were taken away by the God Envoy. I'm so worried about you. It would be nice if you came back."
Pan Bu said in Ning Tao's ear.
In just one sentence, Ning Tao's Seal of Creation had collected several strands of ultra-high-quality beloved energy from her body.
How could she generate such precious beloved energy if she had no soul
She held her tightly and never let go. The energy of her love held her tightly, and Ning Tao couldn't bear to let go.
Qin Se coughed dryly: "Panbu, you and Ali, please come in. There are many people outside and the influence will be bad."
Only then did Pan Bu let go of Ning Tao, his face turned blue.
Ning Tao followed Pan Bu into the door and closed the door behind him.
Mark walked over quickly: "Ali, I heard that you were taken away by the Kunling Divine Envoy. The Kunling Divine Envoy is famous for being ruthless. We are all worried about you. He didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying, "He was kidnapped."
"Ah?" Mark was stunned on the spot.
Qin Se was also stunned, with her mouth open and speechless.
Panbu was a little better, but still looked shocked.
Ning Tao continued: "I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up I realized something had happened. I was worried that you would be implicated, so I rushed over to tell you so that you could prepare early."
Tell them three people the truth directly
I am a great god.
I kidnapped Kunling.
I want to destroy such a temple in the sky.
None of these three of them could accept it. Now is not the time to tell them the truth, he is coming back this time to take them away.
"What, what should we do?" Mark said anxiously: "I brought you here, the Kunling Divine Envoy was kidnapped, but you came back fine, they will come to arrest you, we, we... we too Will be implicated!"
Ning Tao said: "Don't worry, I will take you outside the city to find savages, and I will give you a sum of money, enough for you to use for a lifetime."
Mark and Qinse's eyes suddenly focused on Ning Tao's face and Pan Bu's.
Qin Se asked: "How much?"
Ning Tao reached behind him and grabbed it. There was a pile of paper god crystals in his hand, which were at least ten inches thick. Then he stretched his hands in front of Qinse and Mark.
Qin Se and Mark's jaws dropped to the ground.
"Ali, where did you... get so much money?" Panbu's voice was trembling.
Ning Tao smiled and said: "These are all what I earned from doing business. This is only a small part. You can spend it, I still have a lot."
Qin Se hugged a large stack of paper crystals in Ning Tao's hand: "Well, I'm not polite. My boss, what are you doing in a daze? Go and put away your worries."
Only then did Mark come to his senses, turned around and walked into the house: "Quick, quick, pick up the important things and pack them away. We have to get out of here as soon as possible. The sooner the better."
Qin Se and the couple at the door hurriedly went back to the room to pack their things, but the most important thing they did in the room was definitely to hide the large pile of Paper God Crystals. Mark works so hard that he can't even save money for a prosthetic leg. The family may be destroyed at any time due to an accident or a small disaster. What is there to commemorate in such poor days? It is better to use this huge sum of money to travel around the world and enjoy life!
Therefore, they didn't care at all about the truth about Kunling's kidnapping. Only money was what they cared about most.
"Brother Ali, I..." Panbu hesitated to speak.
Ning Tao smiled and said, "You don't have to clean up, just come with me."
Another touch of blue appeared on Panbu's cheeks.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly there was another knock on the door.
