Chapter 158 Zhang Xiaofan, a Man of Justice
If Guo Yang and his daughter hadn't mentioned the Strange Domain, Zhang Wei would have almost forgotten that there was such a treasure land in the world that could directly increase his divine consciousness.
So after hearing the news about the Strange Domain, Zhang Wei couldn't wait to take Guo Yang and Guo Yun to the Qianyun Island.
The speed was quite fast. After all, in Zhang Wei's eyes, every time he was slower, the creatures in the Strange Domain would be killed by the people of Tianyun Palace, and the amount of soul energy he could get would be less!
The journey of 130,000 miles was completed in just two days under the full efforts of Zhang Wei, who had the cultivation level of a fake pill.
"Woo ah——"
As soon as they landed, Guo Yang and Guo Yun ran to the side and vomited, especially Guo Yang. This time's flying experience made him sigh that Senior Zhang's speed was faster than decades ago...
Zhang Wei casually gave Guo Yang and Guo Yun two pills to relieve the sequelae of the dizziness of the escape light, and then he walked into the Tianyun Palace's residence.
He met the person in charge here, Master Taihe, in the form of a fake pill, and explained his purpose to him.
Hearing that a fake pill monk was willing to help Tianyun Hall to kill the creatures in the strange domain, Master Taihe, who was in the late Purple Mansion, was naturally very happy.
After all, most of the Purple Mansion monks in their Tianyun Hall are now busy arranging formations to suppress the expansion of the strange domain, and other Purple Mansion monks also have their own things to do, and high-end combat power is very difficult.
So Zhang Wei, the fake pill monk, was willing to come to help clear the strange creatures, which just solved the urgent need of their Tianyun Hall.
But he also knew that there is no free lunch in the sky, and Zhang Wei must have some intention to come here on his own initiative, so he asked indirectly.
Zhang Wei did not hide it, and said frankly that he was busy practicing in recent years, so he was short of money, and he also needed the strange materials in the strange domain to refine some magic weapons so that he could sell them to earn practice resources.
Hearing this, Master Taihe laughed immediately.
So it was just to make money!
And you are a high-level weapon refiner!
This is easy.
Taihe said: "In this case, I can make the decision. For each Purple Mansion initial stage strange creature, I will pay you 150,000 taels of gold as a reward, and 50,000 taels of gold for each level up.
All the strange materials obtained will belong to you, that is, the strange treasures refined afterwards, I hope Senior Zhang will give priority to selling them to our Tianyun Palace.
Of course, our Tianyun Palace will never let Senior Zhang suffer a loss, and each strange treasure will definitely be purchased at the market price."
Taihe's tone was very sincere, but Zhang Wei still frowned.
A Purple Mansion initial stage strange creature is worth 150,000 taels of gold?
It is just enough for a Purple Mansion cultivator in the Seven Star Sea to earn a year!
Although this strange domain is large, there must not be too many Purple Mansion strange creatures in it. Can I earn one million taels of gold if I kill them all?
In addition, if I agree directly, it will easily arouse Taihe's suspicion, so Zhang Wei still discussed the reward with him in detail.
Taihe complained bitterly, repeatedly claiming that it was not easy for Tianyun Palace over the years, and that the reconstruction work of the strange disaster on Qianyun Island would cost money everywhere.
Zhang Wei did some oral gymnastics with Taihe, and finally added 50,000 taels to the original price, and also negotiated the price of the foundation-building strange creature.
Hearing that Zhang Wei did not even let go of the mosquito legs of the foundation-building monster, Master Taihe was completely sure that what Zhang Wei said was true.
This man is really poor!
So he signed a spiritual contract with him without worry.
Afterwards, Zhang Wei sighed, while Taihe looked like he had earned something.
When Zhang Wei was about to go to the strange domain, he saw that Guo Yang and Guo Yun, father and daughter, had almost vomited, and were walking towards them with pale faces.
After thinking about the dangers in the strange domain, he suggested to Taihe: "The friend Guo who brought me here felt a little uncomfortable after being hit by my escape light, so let him take charge of some logistical matters."
As soon as this was said, Guo Yun immediately showed a grateful look to Zhang Wei.
Taihe glanced at Guo Yang, whose face turned pale, and recalled for a while before remembering this young foundation-building cultivator who had just joined their Tianyun Hall a few years ago.
In theory, these foundation-building cultivators who were not trained by their forces themselves are cannon fodder, specifically responsible for clearing out strange creatures and exploring the strange domain.
But Guo Yang brought a strong combat aid to help, which was also a merit, and Taihe also wanted to make friends with Zhang Wei, a senior weapon refiner.
So Taihe waved his hand, summoned his men to come over and gave a few instructions, which directly saved Guo Yang from becoming a cannon fodder.
"Thank you, Elder Taihe, thank you, Senior Zhang!" Guo Yang said with a pale face and an excited tone, and Guo Yun also bowed to Zhang Wei inexplicably excited.
Zhang Wei waved his hand indifferently, and then drove the escape light directly to the place where the strange domain was located.
According to the preliminary detection of Tianyun Temple, the area of this strange domain covers hundreds of miles and is divided into four layers.
The top layer is the original territory of Qianyun Kingdom. After being infected by the strange air, the creatures inside were assimilated into strange things.
The strength is also the weakest, generally only in the Qi Refining Stage.
But the number is the largest. In addition to the millions of infected creatures, there are millions of strange things crawling out of the underground strange domain, and the total number reaches tens of millions!
But these strange things are not a problem. As long as Zhang Wei is given enough time, he can sweep the first layer.
Once the electromagnetic divine thought comes out, he can get rid of them all without even using spiritual power.
The strange things on the second layer have foundation building, the third layer has purple mansion, and as for the fourth layer... People on the purple mansion of Tianyun Temple speculate that the strange king is likely to be at the peak of the false pill realm!
After taking the Evil-avoiding Pill, Zhang Wei spent half a month to clean up the tens of millions of evil creatures on the first floor.
On the way, he met some disciples of Tianyun Temple, but with his status and strength, these little cultivators who were only at the foundation-building stage did not dare to ask him what a fake Dan cultivator was doing on the first floor.
After cleaning the first floor, Zhang Wei got more than fifty high-quality soul energy beads in total, which shows that the quality of this evil domain is much higher than the one he encountered in the fifth domain.
He got so many on the first floor alone, what about the second and third floors?
Zhang Wei was excited, and then he couldn't wait to fly down to the second floor.
In front of the electromagnetic divine thoughts that were enough to suppress the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, ordinary foundation-building evil creatures did not have much resistance, and were easily transformed into soul energy by Zhang Wei to fill his inventory.
It took a little more time to face the Purple Mansion realm evil creatures, but ordinary Purple Mansion evil creatures were crushed to death without even seeing Zhang Wei.
However, it still takes more effort to deal with these foundation building and purple mansion weird things, because Zhang Wei needs to keep video data so that he can ask Taihe for money later.
Keep a record of your work, my family, this is a bloody lesson!
It took another month to clean up the second floor. Zhang Wei's total number of soul energy beads has reached hundreds, and he can refine two or three hundred of them when he refines Xuanhun Shengling Pills.
But the third-level Xuanhun Shengling Pill is useless. Zhang Wei's divine power has reached the limit of the purple mansion realm. If he wants to go further, he needs to use the fourth-level pill to fully sublimate himself and make his divine power comparable to that of a golden elixir cultivator!
That would cost a lot.
Although these one hundred soul energy beads should be enough to attract Huaizhu Zhenren to refine a few fourth-level divine pills for him, Zhang Wei doesn't think he can complete the transformation of divine power with only two.
So he has to continue.
Zhang Wei entered the third level of the weird domain with this idea in mind.
On the third floor, the number of monsters has been greatly reduced, but their strength has soared a lot, and many of them have the strength of the late Purple Mansion.
In this case, it is difficult for Zhang Wei to kill the enemy ten miles away with his divine thoughts alone. He can only use electromagnetic divine thoughts to grind the opponent first, and then use the four kinds of divine thunder to crush him to death in turn after the opponent arrives in front of him.
In addition, on this floor, Purple Mansion monks from Tianyun Temple will appear from time to time, and he needs to restore his spiritual power, so the cleaning of monsters on the third floor progresses very slowly. It took Zhang Wei a full year to clean up most of the monsters here.
Standing in front of the passage on the fourth floor, Zhang Wei calculated his gains during this period.
"Two late Purple Mansion monsters, eight mid-Purple Mansion monsters, twenty-three early Purple Mansion monsters, and one hundred and fifty-seven foundation-building monsters... So, Tianyun Temple already owes me nine million taels of gold. Is it too high?"
For the first time, Zhang Wei had the trouble of killing monsters too fast.
Nine million taels of gold, it is enough to support a Jindan cultivator for ten years. Although there are two Jindan cultivators in Tianyun Hall, can they really take out so much money?
Even if they can, are they willing to give it?
After all, he is just a small fake Dan cultivator.
So Zhang Wei could only delete some of the images of the image beads with great pain, and directly amputate his gains from this trip.
"Two million taels of gold, no less!"
Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and looked at his other gains.
After killing so many strange creatures, including more than 30 purple mansion-level ones, Zhang Wei naturally obtained a considerable amount of high-level strange materials. If he took them out to refine them into strange treasures and sold them, he could earn another three million taels of gold.
In addition, after killing so many strange creatures, Zhang Wei's soul energy beads reached more than 300!
Maybe releasing a small batch is not enough to attract the attention of Jindan cultivators, but with such a large number, Jindan cultivators will definitely not be able to resist.
After counting the gains, Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction.
Then he stood up and looked at the deep cave entrance leading to the fourth level of the strange domain. Zhang Wei was silent for a while, then sneered.
"These gains are enough for me to use for seven or eight years, and there is no need for more."
After saying that, he stood up and did not go to this last level to continue the adventure.
Although according to the speculation of the elders of Tianyun Hall, the strength of the ghost king here is probably in the false pill realm, but what if there is a way to burst out the strength of the golden pill realm?
Since seeing the real person Huaizhu take action and having a preliminary concept of the strength of the golden pill, Zhang Wei knew that the existence of the golden pill realm was not something he could deal with head-on.
It's better not to be too greedy.
In this way, Zhang Wei left the strange domain and returned to the present world after more than a year away.
Arriving at the Tianyun Palace, Zhang Wei went straight to Taihe and greeted him, "Daoyou Taihe!"
"Hmm?"
Taihe was startled, and when he saw Zhang Wei, he put down the talisman pen in his hand with a smile and asked, "Daoyou Zhang, you're back so soon?"
"I heard from my disciples that a fake Dan master went to the first and second levels of the Weird Domain and cleared most of the low-level weird creatures, so that they haven't seen a single weird creature in half a month. That person is you, right?"
"Hmm."
Zhang Wei nodded and admitted, "I haven't encountered this kind of situation in the Weird Domain for a long time. I'm worried that I'm not used to it, so I killed some low-level weird creatures to practice."
Then Zhang Wei took out some weird materials and the photo beads from the Xumi Ring and said, "This is my harvest. Daoyou Taihe, please count them."
"So many?"
Seeing these tricks, Taihe couldn't help but exclaimed.
However, after seeing the level of these tricks, his expression became a little better.
He gave Zhang Wei a strange look, then took the photo beads and browsed them briefly, and then asked with a puzzled expression: "Why are they all for foundation building?"
Zhang Wei corrected: "There are two Zifu ones, and one in the late Zifu period."
"this……"
Taihe couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at these monster materials and shadow beads, and said: "No wonder Zhang Daoyou, you insisted on negotiating with me the price of the foundation-building monsters. You spent your time killing them on the first and second floors. It turned out that this was the plan of the monster."
Although according to the previous agreement, the price of the foundation-building monster was only about 10,000 taels per piece, Zhang Wei could not bear to kill so many!
Zhang Wei spread his hands and said helplessly: "After all, I am just a weapon refiner, not good at fighting. Being able to kill a late-stage Zifu monster already has the advantage of magic weapons."
Taihe's expression was still a little bitter, and he tapped his fingers on the table without saying anything about money.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei secretly rolled his eyes, coughed twice and said in a low voice: "I have a magic weapon here that was customized by others but has not come to take it away for ten years. If fellow Taoist Taohe is interested, the price is one hundred thousand taels." Take the gold!"
With that said, Zhang Wei took out a third-level middle-grade magic weapon.
Taihe's bitter expression instantly turned into a smile.
"How embarrassing..."
Zhang Wei said, "Putting this magic weapon here is just a secret. It's better to find a good owner for it! Fellow Taoist Taihe, don't refuse!"
Taihe smiled and said: "In that case, then just follow what Fellow Daoist Zhang said!"
The two declined each other for a while, and Taihe then embarrassedly bought the third-level mid-level magic weapon worth 200,000 taels of gold for 100,000 taels of gold, and at the same time handed it over to Zhang Wei's hand worth two hundred thousand taels. Various treasures and cash worth more than ten thousand taels of gold.
After doing all this, Zhang Wei and Taihe exchanged contact information with each other to make it easier for the other party to buy magic weapons from them. Only then did Zhang Wei leave the Tianyun Palace with his harvest.
Looking at the fully loaded Xumi Ring, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh.
"Humanity is so sophisticated...heh..."
Shaking his head and sneering, Zhang Wei was ready to return to Cangxing Island, but before that he still had something to do.
After several inquiries, Zhang Wei came to the place where Guo Yang worked.
Relying on his relationship with him, a fake elixir monk, Taihe transferred him to work in the logistics department. No one dared to mess with him on weekdays, so Guo Yang's life was pretty good this year.
"Little friend Guo."
Zhang Wei walked into the logistics office and greeted Guo Yang, who was sitting at his desk taking some notes.
Guo Yang raised his head and saw Zhang Wei coming, and he shouted in surprise: "Senior Zhang!"
Several other foundation-building monks and Qi-refining disciples in the logistics department were all shocked.
Over the past year, they have also learned a little bit about Guo Yang's background, and the only one he can call Senior Zhang is probably him!
"Junior has met Senior Zhang!"
"I've met Senior Zhang!"
"Senior Zhang, please have tea."
All of a sudden, a group of people gathered around and served Zhang Wei diligently. Zhang Wei waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you can go about your business. I have something to talk to Xiaoyou Guo."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately left in envy and hatred, leaving space for Zhang Wei and Guo Yang.
Guo Yang asked nervously: "I wonder if Senior Zhang has anything to ask me?"
"Nothing's wrong."
Zhang Wei casually released a soundproofing technique and said: "I want to ask you what you need."
Guo Yang was startled when he heard this, "Huh?"
Zhang Wei said: "I have always been a person who repays kindness. Although you just showed me the way, you really did me a big favor. I can satisfy your request within my ability. Please tell me. "
Guo Yang immediately said: "I want senior to give me a chance."
Zhang Wei immediately replied: "If you want to follow me, forget it. I don't want to keep anyone around me now."
Guo Yang paused, a little disappointed on his face.
In his opinion, no opportunity is better than staying by Zhang Wei's side. It is very difficult to find such a kind boss in Qixing Sea now!
But since Zhang Wei said so, Guo Yang was too embarrassed to continue begging, so he had to change his words: "Then I still want to ask senior to give me a chance, a chance to obtain the essence of heaven and earth!"
"Um?"
Zhang Wei looked at Guo Yang, waiting for his next words.
Guo Yang smiled bitterly and said: "My little girl has a good talent for cultivation. She has entered the Taoism and entered the early stage of Qi refining at a young age. However, as a father, I have no ability and no way to find the spiritual essence of heaven and earth to build a foundation for her.
So I would like to ask my seniors to help me find out where the opportunity for foundation-building spiritual essence is. I will work hard to get it myself when the time comes! "
Looking at Guo Yang's determined eyes, Zhang Wei felt silent in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to see his long-dead father and mother in Guo Yang, as well as his brother Zhang Xiong who was probably already dead, and he sighed with emotion.
"How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."
As he spoke, Zhang Wei's thoughts moved, and the surrounding light suddenly changed. People outside could only see that they were talking normally, but they didn't know that Zhang Wei took out a token and handed it to Guo Yang.
Guo Yang was surprised and said: "This is..."
"Cang Yun Order."
Zhang Wei said: "Although it is only the third pattern, when the Cangyun Sect was still there, it was something that could only be obtained by the Zifu realm. Even if countless years passed, it also meant that a subject related to the Zifu Opportunity.
If you have the heart and courage, you can use this token to explore the Cangyun Sect ruins ten years later, and you might be able to find the foundation-building essence for your daughter there. "
After hearing Zhang Wei's words, Guo Yang suddenly felt that the Cangyun Order in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pieces.
It's about the opportunity of Zi Mansion...
Guo Yang licked his lips and declined: "This... this is too expensive!"
"Just take it if you want. This token is of little value to me, but it is an opportunity for you to change your destiny."
Zhang Wei smiled, stood up and said to Guo Yang: "I am very much looking forward to how far you can go in the future, Fellow Daoist Guo. I hope that one day we can be equal to each other."
Guo Yang was in a trance for a while.
Decades ago, he seemed to have heard the same words.
"yes!"
Guo Yang bowed excitedly to Zhang Wei: "The junior will definitely live up to the expectations of the senior!"
