Chapter 1829: The King Kong Fruit
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The three fruits that Zhang Tie had not ever seen were hanging over the small tree; each of which was as large as a palm. They were flat with metallic texture and luster. At the sight of the shape of the fruits, Zhang Tie had a strange feeling because the fruits were humanoid.
They were like the humanoid chocolate biscuits that Zhang Tie had ever eaten before when he was young.
When Zhang Tie gazed at the three new fruits, mouth agape, a golden brilliant light flashed inside of the three black fruits.
Zhang Tie stared blankly at the three fruits for a short while. Then he strode onto the sacrificial platform of the small tree and reached out his hand to check the attribute of the fruit.
The moment his hand touched one fruit, he had seen lines of words in front of his eyes.
——King Kong Fruit, it's already ripe.
——Usage: Pick and directly eat it. Notice: The fruit cannot be taken out of the Castle of Black Iron. After twelve hours of having been picked off the tree, its energy and vitality will gradually decline.
——The more you fight, the braver and more powerful you will be. After your qi sea is broken, you suffer from ice and fire at the same time. Then, you will recover your qi sea and build a King Kong body!
——Brave man, iron-body fruits make your tendons and bones as firm as steel. It's the foundation for you to make further progress. When the last iron-body fruit became ripe, it meant both the end and the start. At that moment, a broader road was presented to you. However, that road was blurry and full of thorns. It's like a rarity deep in the earth and a pearl at the bottom of the ocean. Only those being blessed by God could take this road and finally get this rarity. The rarity is in your body which is even more precious than gold and all the other rarities in the world. Sabers and swords being forged in the furnace would be more consolidate after being quenched. Similarly, a body with iron-body fruits as the foundation would gradually become immortal and strongest after the quenching of ice and fire. Being large or small, it would never be destroyed. Being tight and inseparable, it's called King Kong!
After reading such a brief introduction, Zhang Tie became thrilled. He felt blood boiling all over, causing his face to turn red; especially when he read the word "strongest".
If ordinary people said something was strongest, Zhang Tie would always reply with a sneer; because those people didn't reach his realm. Most of the strongest things were fabricated and predicted by those people after what the others said. However, at this moment, the word "strongest" body was presented by Castle of Black Iron and the small tree. Of course, Zhang Tie would not doubt that.
——Being large or small, it would never be destroyed. Being tight and inseparable, it's called King Kong!
Zhang Tie couldn't stand taking another look at this line of words as he started to guffaw all of a sudden.
The old frontiersman losing his horse, which was a blessing in disguise. If Zhang Tie didn't discover the existence of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace or didn't determine to clash against Dark Emperor Immortal Palace or fight Versatile Demon Emperor or Versatile Demon Emperor didn't want to kill Zhang Tie or Zhang Tie didn't come to Tigerback Mountain, he would never have such marvelous encounters and find the secrets behind iron-body fruits.
Zhang Tie finally knew why he felt so comfortable in the icy fluid after each medical treatment. It was a sort of quenching just like how hot-red sabers and swords were quenched in liquid. Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could get King Kong Fruit by accident.
'Such great achievement!'
Heller had already come to the front of the sacrificial platform of the small tree and was watching Zhang Tie who was almost dancing with joy with a big smile.
"Congratulations on getting King Kong fruits, Castle Lord. With such fruits, you could definitely reach a new height!"
"Previously I thought the fruit of the consciousness of universal laws was the last kind of fruit that the small tree could bear. I've not imagined that it could bear another kind of fruit. The God really treats me good; treats me good, hahaha…"
"It's all the results of your efforts, Castle Lord. Without your insistence and bravery, this fruit might never appear!" Heller watched Zhang Tie seriously as he said, "Additionally, I told you that the fruit of the LV 9 consciousness of universal laws was the last fruit the small tree could bear; but I've not said that the small tree would not bear any new kind of fruit from the fruit of the LV 1 consciousness of universal laws to the fruit of LV 9 consciousness of universal laws. If you think so, you must have misunderstood me…"
"If you've long known that the small tree would bear such kind of fruit, you should have told me in advance!" Watching the three King Kong fruits, Zhang Tie sighed. "If I have long known about their existence, I would never have suffered so much these years!"
"Castle Lord, you know, it's out of my ability…" Heller replied as he shrugged.
Zhang Tie suddenly got another question in mind. Now that iron-body fruits were followed by such a kind of fruit, whether the leakless fruits which had long disappeared were followed by greater fruits? As the conditions were not satisfied, those new fruits couldn't manifest.
This whim made Zhang Tie thrilled for quite a while. After that, Zhang Tie picked a King Kong fruit and sat down, legs crossed, before putting the fruit into his mouth. After chewing it for a couple of times, he swallowed it.
Great energy started to spread across Zhang Tie's body the moment the fruit entered his stomach. Then, it gradually penetrated into Zhang Tie's guts, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, tendons, bones, even skin and hair while improving Zhang Tie's body unconsciously.
After a period of time, the energy finally melted into Zhang Tie's body completely.
Zhang Tie stood up and moved his limbs. Strangely, he didn't feel hard; instead, he felt that his muscles and skin became soft, flexible and warm all over just like having taken a hot shower. He gained greater vigor. Additionally, he felt that his muscles and bones were getting tighter and more compact…
Heller was still waiting under the small tree as if he was ready for Zhang Tie's questions.
"How long have I spent in digesting this fruit?"
"Castle Lord, you've spent more than 3 hours in digesting this fruit…"
After hearing Heller's reply, Zhang Tie finally let out a sigh. Even though he entered Castle of Black Iron once every 15 days, he could also have enough time to digest these fruits.
Besides the new King Kong fruits, there were also many fruits of redemption as usual. Therefore, Zhang Tie picked another King Kong fruit and continued to digest it under the small tree…
It almost took Zhang Tie 1 day to digest all the fruits. Then, he left Castle of Black Iron and appeared in the cave at the bottom of the ocean before returning to Tideviewing Courtyard…
Bian Heng arrived again as he started the 4th medical treatment for Zhang Tie…
"Eh…" Bian Heng exclaimed out of curiosity when he set the first needle.
"What?"
"Your skin appears even more flexible. I couldn't stab it in as easily as before…"
"Really? How about now…" Zhang Tie said as his skin became as same as before. Bian Heng then successfully stabbed it in.
"Your protective secret method is not bad…" Bian Heng commented. Zhang Tie just replied with a smile…

At noon of July 14, in the hot sunshine, Bian Heng arrived at Tideviewing Courtyard with his case on time.
When the gate was opened, Bian Heng saw Zhang Tie's odd costume. He then raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Zhang Tie, saying, "Your costume is so weird!��
"Haha, this is a pair of beach pants; this is T-shirt; this is a slipper…" Zhang Tie pointed at those things he wore as he introduced them to Bian Heng pleasantly, "How about that? If you like, I could get a suit for you…"
These days, Zhang Tie was more and more familiar with Bian Heng. The weather was also becoming hotter. Additionally, being close to the beach of Whitedragon Gulf, Zhang Tie had to go to the sea in every two days. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly bought some cloth and made such a set of costume for himself when he was free.
In the familiar costume, Zhang Tie felt like returning to Taixia Country and having a vacation at the seaside.
Watching Zhang Tie's costume, Bian Heng sneered, "Humph, your short pants look so fat and loose. It's like chimneys. Look at your upper outer garment, it doesn't even have sleeves. Additionally, it's made of cheap cotton and linen coarsely. Look at your shoes, it's made of a piece of wood and some strips of cloth. Even coolies in Emperor NvWa City don't wear it. You're asking me to wear it? Do you think that I will run wild with you? Have you lost your mind after the medical treatments?"
Zhang Tie didn't care about Bian Heng's mean words; instead, he still smiled. "You don't know that. In Taixia Country, such costume was very popular at the seaside in summer. It feels cool and comfortable. You asked me about the situation in my world; I'm presenting it to you…"
"What an impenetrable and weird costume…" Bian Heng left a distant comment before heading for the backroom where Zhang Tie received his medical treatment.
After shaking his head slightly with a smile, Zhang Tie followed him in.
The aesthetics and living habits of the two worlds were pretty different in some aspects. Zhang Tie didn't care too much. After all, nobody would come to Tideviewing Courtyard and this beach in usual. Those on Tigerback Mountain didn't like to stroll behind the mountain. Additionally, people in Tigerback Town also knew that this territory belonged to Bian Heng; therefore, they dared not enter this region, people or boat. As a result, Zhang Tie felt pretty tranquil. He didn't need to worry about arousing a hot discussion no matter what he wore. If it were a crowded place, Zhang Tie would never do that; otherwise, it would be like currying favor by claptrap or fearing that others didn't know that he came from another world.
After entering the backroom, Zhang Tie raised his arms, taking off his T-shirt rapidly before throwing it onto the bed, exposing his muscular frame. Bian Heng opened that small medical kit and took out a fiery-dragon qi-gathering pill and a vial that Zhang Tie was familiar with.
"Drink it before taking the fiery-dragon qi-gathering pill!" Bian Heng said as he gave the vial and that fiery-dragon qi-gathering pill to Zhang Tie.
"What's this?" Zhang Tie asked about the vial of medicament as he pretended to be confused. After all, he only needed to tell the truth in front of Bian Heng. If he pretended to be confused, Bian Heng would never know that.
"It's Dragon Emperor Medicament. Emperor NvWa's Palace assigned someone to gift some to me. I was studying it these days. If you drink one vial of it, I think you would feel better when I set the needles. It's also beneficial to the recovery of your physical strength!"
"Oh, but it doesn't sound like being made in Emperor NvWa's Palace."
"Yup, it's not produced in Emperor NvWa's Palace. It's from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!" Bian Heng sighed as he took a look at that vial of Dragon Emperor Medicament in Zhang Tie's hand with a complex look before shaking his head, revealing a bitter smile, "I failed to make it after developing it for dozens of years. Unexpectedly, during these years when the Dragon Emperor disappeared, he developed it. He's really something; really something…"
"Ah, you know it?"
"Humph, it's not a big deal. Despite its terrifying name, its raw materials are just some common fruits and herbs!"
"Ah, if so, why couldn't you make it after developing it for dozens of years?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
"Its raw materials are very common; however, the medical essence that could grant these common raw materials with marvelous effects is unusual. I failed to find the proper medical essence even though I've traveled across Motian Realm. Therefore, I couldn't make it. The Dragon Emperor Medicament might be able to frighten others; but not me. I'm afraid that the Dragon Emperor discovered the medical essence that I was always longing for by accident…"
Hearing Bian Heng's words, Zhang Tie revealed great shock as he admired Bian Heng pretty much. Zhang Tie knew that the medical essence that he mentioned was the super yeast which was key to the production of all-purpose medicament. Unimaginably, Bian Heng once studied the principle of all-purpose medicament. However, as Bian Heng didn't have Castle of Black Iron, he couldn't get the proper yeast.
"How could common fruits and herbs be made into such a marvelous medicament? If this medicament is so useful, why don't we just eat those common fruits and herbs?"
"Humph, when one dies, it's just some ashes after cremation. But can you say that humans are ashes? Similarly, the same thing would have different properties in different conditions. Take fruits as an example, some fruits could be eaten independently; but if you eat some kinds of fruits together, you might be poisoned to death. The principle is very profound. Forget about it, it's meaningless for me to talk about that to you. You won't understand it. Hurry, take it…"
After drinking the vial of Dragon Emperor Medicament and licking his lips interestedly, Zhang Tie took the fiery-dragon qi-gathering pill. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had felt the familiar heat rising in his lower abdomen as the first needle had already entered his shrine surging point…
"Oh, you said that there were other human races in your world, can you specify it? Do they have two eyes and one nose just like us?" Bian Heng asked as he carried out the medical treatment for Zhang Tie.
These days, the two people kept chatting during medical treatment. Bian Heng was very curious about the world that Zhang Tie came from. Therefore, he always asked Zhang Tie about that world.
"They look similar to us except that their skin, hair and pupils are different than ours in color. Hua people are black-haired and black-eyed. The other human races' hair and pupils are different than ours in color. Someone's skin is even black…"
Bian Heng's curiosity increased as he set the needle, asking, "Your mean someone's skin is as dark as ink?"
"Of course, someone' skin is even brown…"
"If so, aren't those males whose skin is as dark as ink like fierce ghosts and those females in dark skin like yaksha?"
"Not exactly, as long as you adapt to their skin color, you would find that some women in black skin are also very sweet and beautiful and some men in black skin are also very handsome and sturdy. Many of those in black skin are the best soldiers and infantries on battlefields. I've got a good brother whose skin is also black; his name is Bagdad…" Zhang Tie was a bit moved when he recalled his friends in Taixia Country.
"He is surnamed Ba? Strange, strange…"
"His surname isn't Ba, but Bagdad. Their names are different than ours. Our surname is in front of our given name; however, their surname is behind their given name. Due to different languages, after being translated, their names would contain a lot of words…"
"Different languages? Can you speak their language?"
"Yes, I can. I lived with a lot of foreigners before!"
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting. I've not imagined that my butler could speak a foreign language. That's unique in Motian Realm…" Bian Heng guffawed…

The medical treatment today was as same as before. After finishing it, Bian Heng instantly left with his case as Zhang Tie rushed towards the ocean and came to the cave at the bottom of the sea where he immersed himself in the airy and pleasant state, being wrapped by the icy fluid. This state was like quenching a hot saber or sword, which also stimulated the production of King Kong Fruit.
In this process, Zhang Tie had long released his spiritual energy like tossing a big net, which covered himself within miles. Within this cover, any abnormal phenomenon would catch Zhang Tie's attention. As long as anyone entered this spiritual region, Zhang Tie would sense it, be it an immortal emperor, a fish or a shrimp.
This was Zhang Tie's alert radar, also the way of applying his spiritual energy that he had pondered in Tideviewing Courtyard——By releasing his spiritual energy and contracting it, he would get a tight surveillance net. He didn't expect that his spiritual energy could reach far away. He only wanted to control the situation within this net completely. Although it couldn't kill enemies, it would completely avoid him from being raided by people; esepecially immortal emperors or demon emperors. After releasing his spiritual net, as long as he spared a wisp of spiritual energy to observe the alert radar, he would be safe.
Since he survived Versatile Demon Emperor's fatal strike, Zhang Tie had been pondering how to deal with Versatile Demon Emperor. Therefore, he worked out such a solution. Zhang Tie felt that even if he couldn't defeat Versatile Demon Emperor for the time being, at least, he should avoid from entering Versatile Demon Emperor's realm or being raided by Versatile Demon Emperor. This was the wisdom that weak living beings always survived on. If you didn't have sharp claws and fangs like that of fierce beasts, you should be more sensitive, faster and more flexible than fierce beasts so that you could observe the surroundings at any time and survive yourself.
…
One night passed by soon. When the heat in his body dissipated on the second morning, Zhang Tie entered Castle of Black Iron in a split second.
After half a month, there were already 7 King Kong fruits on the small tree. After entering Castle of Black Iron, instead of heading for the canteen, Zhang Tie flashed to the small tree and picked a King Kong fruit before sitting down and digesting it, eyes closed and legs crossed.
3 hours later, Zhang Tie had digested that King Kong fruit; however, he was more hungry. When he was digesting the fruit, he had heard his belly growl like someone beating drums inside there. King Kong fruit could improve his physique; but it couldn't make him full.
After digesting the fruit, Zhang Tie opened his eyes when he saw Heller standing under the sacrificial platform of the small tree, followed by the other three servants who were holding three trays of delicious food and watching him with great admiration.
Zhang Tie acclaimed that Heller was considerate before reaching out his hand and catching a piece of aromatic, sweet and tasty cheese bread which was as large as half a head from Edward's tray from a few meters away. Then, he started to gulp it down.
"There're already 7 King Kong fruits on the small tree. Castle Lord, you don't have enough time to digest all of them today. In order to save time for you, I have them serve food here…"
"You're so considerate…" Zhang Tie spoke highly of Heller unclearly as he ate the piece of bread, mouth full.
It was already the morning of July 15; only 17 hours left for the portal to close. Zhang Tie didn't have enough time to digest all of them. It would take him almost 1 day to digest all the 7 King Kong fruits. Therefore, Zhang Tie was eating as more as possible.
Although Zhang Tie could enter Castle of Black Iron the moment the first day of the month arrived, he couldn't do anything but soak himself in the icy fluid to quench his body for stimulating the production of King Kong fruit and wait for the dissipation of heat just like staying in the ocean.
Therefore, if Zhang Tie received the medical treatment on the day before the first day of each month, he could only make use of 17 hours in Castle of Black Iron to eat King Kong fruits; instead of 24 hours.
After having that huge piece of cheese bread, although being still hungry, his belly didn't protest any more at least. Zhang Tie opened his mouth as a cup of drink mixing Dragon Emperor Medicament and sweet juice streamed into his mouth like a fountain. Closely after that, Zhang Tie stood up and picked a fruit of redemption before putting it in the mouth. After digesting it for over 10 minutes, Zhang Tie picked another fruit of redemption and digested it. Then, Zhang Tie waved his hand, causing all the three trays to fly to his side. Zhang Tie then waved his hand towards the three people, implying that they could leave here. After that, he picked the second King Kong fruit and ate it. Then, he sat down with crossed legs and started to digest it.
During the 17 hours, Zhang Tie only did one thing under the small tree——eating.
When his belly started to rumble, Zhang Tie would catch some food from aside. As long as his belly didn't protest, he would continue to eat various of fruits on the tree despite being hungry.
…
"Castle Lord, you've got half an hour left. By then, the space force of Motian Realm will be imbalanced again and the portal of Castle of Black Iron accessing to the outside would be closed…"
Heller warned as Zhang Tie had just digested the last fruit of redemption from the gratitude of earthworms.
Zhang Tie took a look at the small tree. Besides two King Kong fruits, Zhang Tie had already eaten all the others. However, his belly started to rumble again.
After taking a look at the delicious food in the trays beside him, Zhang Tie spent 20 minutes in finishing them up as he finally became full. In the last 10 minutes, he picked 2 King Kong fruits at the same time and ate them. When the two fruits' energy started to spread across his body, Zhang Tie left Castle of Black Iron in a split second and reappeared in the mountain cave at the bottom of the ocean.
King Kong fruit couldn't be taken out of Castle of Black Iron; however, after eating it, he could digest the energy of the fruits outside Castle of Black Iron, in which way, Zhang Tie could save time in digesting them in Castle of Black Iron.
"Ah, I've not imagined that I wouldn't even have time to eat two fruits. Thankfully, I'm smart…" Zhang Tie mocked himself in the cave. Closely after that, he sat down, legs crossed, and started to digest the last two King Kong fruits.
At this moment, it was pitch-dark at the bottom of the ocean at 00:45 in Motian Realm…
It took Zhang Tie almost 7 hours to completely digest all the energy of the two King Kong fruits in the cave.
Zhang Tie opened his eyes and let out a deep sigh before leaving the cave. At the bottom of the ocean, Zhang Tie swam towards the beach where Tideviewing Court was. After racing against time for one day, Zhang Tie finally became relaxed as he leisurely returned to Tideviewing Courtyard.
When he entered the waters which were about 1,000 m in depth, under the morning sunshine, Zhang Tie could see golden light on the sea level as everything at the bottom of the ocean became vigorous.
Various fish, oceanic organisms, colorful corals, floating seaweeds and the crystal sea water formed a beautiful picture at the bottom of the ocean.
…
A cyan-white crab with a thick shell as large as a bowl was slowly walking among the sands at the bottom of the sea over 2,000 m away from Tiderviewing Courtyard. It discovered a crevice between two coral reefs which was suitable for settling in. However, the crevice had been occupied by a 10 cm-long yellowish shrimp which was semi-transparent.
A mountain would never allow two tigers to stay. Similarly, a crevice would never allow a crab and a shrimp to stay. Of course, the crab and the shrimp started a fight.
The bigger crab was waving his two powerful pliers and intended to kill that shrimp. However, when the crab appraoched the shrimp, the shrimp moved as he bent his body and launched a lightning attack towards the crab's shell by its strong forelimbs…
It was the most common scene in the ocean. It was vigorous at the bottom of the ocean; however, fish and the other oceanic organisms complied with their own survival laws. Fights between different species happened every once in a while at the bottom of the ocean.
However, when the shrimp hit the crab, Zhang Tie was swimming by them over 100 m above…
Although Zhang Tie felt it, he didn't care about it at the beginning. However, after passing by 500-600 m, Zhang Tie suddenly stopped in the water!
'The shrimp…'
Zhang Tie slightly frowned.
Zhang Tie instantly turned around and returned to the battlefield where the shrimp fought with the crab at the bottom of the ocean.
The shrimp had already returned to the crevice between the two coral reefs. After being hit by the shrimp, the crab became still in a split second as if the shrimp had just played a conjuration on it. When Zhang Tie was approaching them, he found the crab had already lost its balance in the flow. Meanwhile, its feet had already left the sands.
Zhang Tie picked the crab as he found it was already dead…
Zhang Tie was petrified at a stroke…
Chapter 1832: Being Leisure

When Bian Heng set needles for him, Zhang Tie's mind was occupied with that moment when the spike shrimp launched a fatal strike. It aroused an unprecedented palpitation deep in Zhang Tie's heart. Therefore, Zhang Tie just chatted with Bian Heng absent-mindedly. Bian Heng appeared to have a load in his mind as he just set needles for Zhang Tie with a frown.
"Starting from tomorrow, I have to leave Tigerback Mountain for a period which varies from one week to half a month. During this period, I won't be carrying out medical treatment for you anymore. You could make your arrangement freely!" When Bian Heng almost finished his job, he warned Zhang Tie.
After hearing Bian Heng's words, Zhang Tie was shocked as he uttered, "Ah? You're going to leave Tigerback Mountain? What for? Do you need my help?"
"Glad that you remember that you're my butler!" Bian Heng replied with a cold harrumph as he added, "But you cannot help me, I have to do it myself!"
"It must be something very important!"
"Star Emperor Immortal Palace got a sample of Golden-Soul Runed Virus. They've already sent it to Emperor NvWa's Palace and wanted to have Emperor NvWa work out the therapy for detoxifying Golden-Soul Rune Virus. In the worst case scenario, we should find a solution to detect Golden-Soul Runed Virus. Emperor NvWa's Palace had already invited many powers who are proficient in runes, medicinal pills, medical skills and secret skills to negotiate the countermeasures together. Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace have assigned powers to Emperor NvWa's Palace too. Golden-Soul Rune Virus might have a connection with demons. This event is concerned about the safety of humans in Motian Realm. Now that Emperor NvWa's Palace invited me, I have to go there…"
Bian Heng was modest by using the word "proficient". All the powers that could be invited by Emperor NvWa's Palace might be on the same level as Bian Heng. They were definitely top moguls or masters in each industry. Many of them were living somewhere in Emperor NvWa City just like Bian Heng.
"Ah? Golden-Soul Rune Virus?" Zhang Tie uttered, mouth agape as he had not imagined that Star Emperor Immortal Palace was able to get a sample of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Zhang Tie really admired Star Emperor Immortal Palace's tricks.
"You know about Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
"Of course!" Zhang Tie replied casually. Closely after that, he asked Bian Heng out of curiosity, "How did Star Emperor Immortal Palace get the sample of Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
"I don't know. It's said that Star Emperor made it himself. When he discovered a mole of Star Emperor Immortal Palace in Star Emperor Immortal Palace, he chopped off his head; meanwhile, he froze his head in a secret method. Therefore, that head didn't explode itself. It contained a complete sample of Golden-Soul Runed Virus…"
When he thought about Star Emperor's unpredicted tricks, Zhang Tie admired him very much.
To be honest, Zhang Tie had some complete samples of Golden-Soul Rune Virus which had not been used yet. He almost wanted to gift some to Bian Heng for study. However, he instantly closed his mouth due to reason.
If Zhang Tie took out the samples of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, his identity and many secrets would be exposed to the public. Smart ones could know a lot of information about him. Therefore, Even though he wanted to gift it to Bian Heng, he had to choose the right moment. Now that Emperor NvWa's Palace had already got one sample, Zhang Tie would not present those samples of Golden-Soul Rune Virus for the time being.
"Master, take care of yourself!" Zhang Tie sighed as he added, "I could tell you that Golden-Soul Rune Virus definitely belongs to Demons. Because I've discovered that Versatile Demon Emperor was Dark Emperor of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Versatile Demon Emperor wanted to kill me. Golden-Soul Rune Virus was produced by Versatile Demon Emperor. After killing Rune Emperor, Versatile Demon Emperor acquired the Tadpole Rune Sutra of Runed Emperor. He then developed Golden-Soul Runed Virus by combining a rune skill in Tadpole Rune Sutra with a demon puppet worm which could control one's brain. To put it simply, Golden-Soul Rune Virus is used to control one's brain and awareness in terms of a rune puppet worm in a rune skill!"
Bian Heng watched Zhang Tie with great shock. Although he knew that Zhang Tie's identity was special, he was still shocked by Zhang Tie's words——Across Motian Realm, even top forces such as the two emperor-level immortal palaces and Emperor NvWa's Palace didn't know anything about Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Therefore, Zhang Tie's intelligence was definitely strategic. The source and manufacturing principle of Golden-Soul Rune Virus is invaluable.
"What's puppet worm then?" Bian Heng asked Zhang Tie as he stopped his hand unconsciously.
"Puppet worm is a kind of insect. The parent puppet worm is like a cocoon. However, it's much bigger than a cocoon. At least as large as a sea cucumber!" Zhang Tie made a hand gesture as he added, "The parent puppet worm could lay numerous eggs a day which could barely be seen by naked eyes. As long as the eggs enter one's body, it would come to one's brain through blood circulation and lurk in one's brain like a parasite. Then, it will grow up there. In this process, the host couldn't sense its existence. When those eggs become mature, their hosts would die. Meanwhile, the mature puppet worm would control that dead body to kill people everywhere without feeling painful. When the parent puppet worm suddenly dies, the larvae will become mature all of a sudden. After killing their hosts, they would become very berserk and lose control…" Zhang Tie told Bian Heng about the features of puppet worms that he had learned. He also hoped that Emperor NvWa's Palace could find a way to restrict or detect Golden-Soul Rune Virus. "Master, when you listen to me, don't stop it, I'm still suffering…"
Bian Heng then continued to set his needles as he asked, "How do you know that?"
"Have you forgotten where I came from? In my world, demons created a lot of troubles using puppet worms…"
"If one controls the parent puppet worm, could one control those walking dead's through the parent puppet worm?"
"You got me. Remember that, don't expose the information to anyone else; especially those immortal emperors or demon emperors. If they know it's me who told you about that, they would know my real identity the moment they see me…"
"Humph, what kind of person do you think I am?" Bian Heng replied with a cold harrumph as he took a look at Zhang Tie, "Now that you knew that, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhang Tie instantly complained, "Look at me, how weak I am! I was almost killed by Versatile Demon Emperor for the sake of righteousness of humans, and I am still being chased by Versatile Demon Emperor. I'm still receiving medical treatment now. Who do I talk to? If I told ordinary people about that, who would believe me? If Star Emperor and Force Emperor saw me, what if they sliced me into pieces?"
After hearing Zhang Tie's explanation, Bian Heng became quiet with a frown. Looking up at the roof, he recalled the contents that Zhang Tie exposed to him seriously as he mumbled Tadpole Rune Sutra and puppet worm…
"Ah…" Zhang Tie uttered a shrill cry all of a sudden.
Bian Heng lowered his head as he found that he set a needle in the wrong place when he was absent-minded just now. It penetrated through Zhang Tie's short pants and stood on one of Zhang Tie's testicles, causing Zhang Tie's face dreadfully pale in a split second…
"Ah, sorry. I was absent-minded just now. I had already stopped. But you made me continue. Look, something is wrong…" Bian Heng blamed Zhang Tie first before drawing out that long needle and setting it in the right place.
"Bro, watch out. You could have almost killed me. What you're doing is concerned with my life. If I died, it would ruin your reputation…" Zhang Tie yelled.
"Humph…" Bian Heng replied as he picked another needle and stared at Zhang Tie. Meanwhile, he looked a bit gloomy.
"Well, forget about that; forget about that. Continue, continue…" Zhang Tie hurriedly replied with a smile in case that Bian Heng made another mistake by inserting his needle into his another egg. Although he had already eaten 10 King Kong fruits, if Bian Heng really made another mistake, the effect of the 10 King Kong fruits could withstand the power of the sage-level knight.
When Bian Heng collected all the needles, Zhang Tie felt being burned all over. He then instantly sprung up and jumped out of Tideviewing Courtyard. In a split second, he had rushed into the ocean and disappeared.
"Brat…" Bian Heng cursed as he closed his case and left there. When Bian Heng walked out of the backroom and looked back, Zhang Tie had long disappeared on the beach…
…
When he returned back to the cave at the bottom of the ocean and soaked himself in icy fluid quietly, Zhang Tie's mind was occupied with that spike shrimp's image once again.
The period of over 10 hours was very tough. On second early morning, Zhang Tie rushed out of the cave the moment the heat in his body dissipated…
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had come to a shallow sea of Whitedragon Gulf. Some fishing boats were casting nets in the waters. There were many coral reefs at the bottom of this shallow area, where lived many spike shrimps…
Chapter 1833: Scrambling Brilliance with the Sun
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Those shrimps had their own territories at the bottom of the ocean. They even fought with each other. After coming to this place, Zhang Tie could even hear cracks like broken bamboos in the fire.
The clear cracks were caused by shrimps when they scrambled for private territories over there. When they waved their forelimbs in water, they would cause such clear cracks.
These shrimp didn't carry out close combats at all. According to Zhang Tie's observation, those shrimps were like strong fighters above LV 10. They didn't even touch each other during the fight.
They could launch their attacks from dozens of cm away in terms of changing water flows and impact waves.
Those shrimps survived on fish, crabs, conchs and seashells. After coming here for a short while, Zhang Tie had seen a shrimp catch a conch and draw it into his own cave. Feeling the danger, the conch hid into its shell. However, facing the punches of the shrimp, the conch's shell was gradually broken into pieces. As a result, the conch became shrimp's food.
With his powerful knight's consciousness, Zhang Tie acquired a higher-level visual angle and perception. As a result, the images of things that Zhang Tie could see and sense were absolutely different than what could be seen and sensed by ordinary people.
Benefited from this, Zhang Tie could even reduce the moving speed of shrimps' forelimbs by over 1,000 times; meanwhile, he could experience some mysterious micro changes.
In Zhang Tie's eyes, those shrimps became the most powerful fighters while their weapons were their forelimbs.
Those shrimps had extremely powerful explosive force. Each time they punched out, they would carry destructive momentum and power.
From a different visual angle, the calm bottom of the ocean became the battlefield of top powers.
Through such micro observation and perception, Zhang Tie gradually discovered the subtle change in water temperature in the space being many times smaller than pinpoint right in front of their fists in a split second.
Zhang Tie instantly triggered his lotus-flower eyes as he wanted to check out their combat process.
Lotus-flower eyes were extremely sensitive to temperature; plus his powerful knight's consciousness and spiritual energy, Zhang Tie finally "saw" the details…
Zhang Tie saw many "suns" in front of those shrimp's forelimbs.
Yes, they were "suns", which appeared and disappeared in a split second in an extremely tiny space. When those powerful shrimps punched out, they caused "suns" due to friction.
Although those "suns" were barely seen due to their size; although those "suns" appeared and disappeared in milliseconds, they were truly "suns". Under Zhang Tie's lotus-flower eyes, the temperature of those "suns" could reach above 5,000 degrees Celsius, which was close to the surface temperature of the real sun. Additionally, he could see the color and brilliance which were like that of the real sun…
Steel would be vaporized at 1510 degrees Celsius, which meant that the great energy that carried by one punch of those shrimps could even vaporize steel.
Zhang Tie was shocked too much physically and spiritually as he almost couldn't believe what he saw and sensed.
At this moment, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was just some tiny shrimps who were punching out. These shrimps were not immortal generals; therefore, they couldn't release battle qi or spiritual energy. However, these shrimps were displaying the most powerful fist skills in front of Zhang Tie. By contrast, all the fist skills that Zhang Tie had ever learned and seen were nothing but sh*t. Even the Real Sun Flame of Fantasy Old Man would be dwarfed by the highest temperature of their punch…
A whim occurred to Zhang Tie——The greatest force was close to the truth!
This sentence was the first sentence on the secret book of Iron Blood Fist Skill that Zhang Tie had learned at the beginning. After experiencing so many hardships, Zhang Tie became more and more powerful. However, he didn't get the essence of this sentence until this moment.
Zhang Tie had approximately watched such a great fist skill when he comprehended the realm of combining the heavens with himself and was in that mysterious realm. Not until now did Zhang Tie recall that scene in his mind——on the battlefield between humans and fierce far-ancient beasts, all of a sudden, the battlefield was in the dark. At the same time, a flying Hua youth suddenly gave out great brilliance, in which all the fierce beasts across the world became still. Closely after that, a fist crossed the heavens like an eternal long rainbow or a sun, causing the heavens to collapse and earth to shake. In a split second, the day turned into night while stars loomed in the sunny sky; earth started to roll; rivers started to dry; grasses and woods started to wither. In an instant, all the fierce beasts that wreak havoc across the world trembled and perished…
Even a shrimp could scramble brilliance with the sun, not to mention people.
Unconsciously, Zhang Tie had entered a bizarre realm.
In this bizarre realm, it was his overwhelming, vast and berserk fist intention surging in the ocean; instead of seawater. Zhang Tie was absolutely immersed in the fist intention. All the shrimps were just swimming in his fist intention. Right in front of Zhang Tie, they kept punching out, causing billows and tens of thousands of suns appear and disappear beside Zhang Tie every once in a while…
'They don't have battle qi. So what?'
'They don't have spiritual energy. So what?'
'They have traumas. So what?'
'Couldn't a man even match a shrimp? Couldn't a man even match a shrimp? Couldn't a man even match a shrimp?'
'How large is the distance between humbleness and greatness?'
'How large is the distance between weakness and power?'
'How large is the distance between cowardice and firmness?'
'How large is the distance between darkness and brightness?'
'It's just a distance of one punch!'
Unconsciously, Zhang Tie had closed his eyes as he was immersed in that bizarre realm and gnosis. Right at the bottom of the ocean which was thousands of meters deep, Zhang Tie slowly moved as he started to imitate the fist skill of those shrimps in water.
When 1 day had passed, Zhang Tie was still imitating at the bottom of the ocean…
When 3 days had passed, Zhang Tie was still imitating at the bottom of the ocean…
When 10 days had passed, Zhang Tie was still imitating at the bottom of the ocean…
Chapter 1834: The Immortal Fist Skill

19 days, Bian Heng finally returned to Tigerback Mountain on August 5, the 3586th year of Emperor NvWa's Calendar.
When he was back, he looked very solemn. When he remembered that he told Zhang Tie that he would come back in at most half a month, Bian Heng felt a bit bashful. Due to some accidents, he wasted some time on the way.
Bian Heng had come to the Tideviewing Courtyard behind Tigerback Mountain with his case soon after he returned to Tigerback Mountain.
The gate of Tideviewing Courtyard was closed. After shouting twice outside the gate, Bian Heng received no response. Therefore, he directly flew inside.
Nobody was inside Tideviewing Courtyard. Additionally, after looking around the Tideviewing Courtyard, Bian Heng found that everything inside the courtyard remained as same as last time when he left here. It seemed that Zhang Tie had not come back for a few days.
'Did that brat run away because I came back a few days later…'
Bian Heng mumbled with a frown as he instantly contacted Qin Mu, "Where's Butler Jin in Tideviewing Courtyard?"
"Owner, since you left Tigerback Mountain, Butler Jin has entered the sea. He didn't return to Tideviewing Courtyard these days; nor did he go to Tigerback Town!"
As the general butler of Tiderback Mountain, although Qin Mu didn't pay attention to Tideviewing Courtyard, it seemed that nothing across Tigerback Mountain could escape from his eyes.
"Owner, do you need me to find him back…"
"No need, that brat is a very good swimmer. I'm afraid that he's still traveling across the ocean these days. I will go and find him…"
After ending the conversation with Qin Mu and learning about Zhang Tie's current situation, Bian Heng put his medical kit in Tideviewing Courtyard. Then, he flew off from Tideviewing Courtyard towards Whitedragon Gulf.
Over these days, Bian Heng also knew that Zhang Tie often visited Whitedragon Gulf. However, Zhang Tie had never stayed there for over 10 days even once. Therefore, Bian Heng was also curious about Zhang Tie's whereabouts.
Flying over the sea of Whitedragon Gulf, Bian Heng searched over the waters by his shiny eyes.
As a sage-level knight, even though Bian Heng didn't have lotus-flower eyes, none of fish and shrimps at the bottom of the ocean as deep as tens of thousands of meters could escape from his eyes.
Only after a short while, Bian Heng's heart had palpitated as he turned around and looked at a direction on his left side.
In that direction, Bian Heng caught sight of a huge swirl over 130 miles away. There were billows despite not being windy.
The swirl was too huge. In the blink of an eye, it had aroused a huge turbulence whose diameter was over 13 miles. The moment this turbulence appeared, some small fishing boats near that waters were instantly involved in the huge swirl. Like tree leaves, those small boats started to rotate along the direction of the turbulence out of control.
Whitedragon Gulf was inside Emperor NvWa City. With the protection of the city wall, there was even no heavy wind or billow, not to mention such a huge swirl all of a sudden.
Those fishers and sailors on those fishing boats were exclaiming out of panic, face turning dreadfully pale. They thought they had offended the legendary ocean deity or dragon king…
After flashing to the waters, Bian Heng released his realm at once. In a split second, all the small fishing boats had been shifted into his own realm. Closely after that, Bian Heng flew far away and let go of those fishing boats.
"Leave here right now. Admonish those people in Tigerback Town to not approach this waters…" After saying these words, Bian Heng flew towards that huge swirl again.
Bian Heng was known to everyone in Tigerback Town. Although being flurried, those fishers and sailors still caught sight of Bian Heng as they all exclaimed, "Ah, it's the old immortal on Tigerback Mountain…"
Bian Heng's words were even more effective than an imperial decree. After hearing Bian Heng's waning, those fishers and sailors tried their most efforts to leave that waters.
A fisher looked back as he instantly oozed sweat all over with a dreadfully pale face. Only after such a short while, that huge swirl had expanded by two times while the billows had been over 10 m high. Although being far away, the billows still caused the sea level to rock heavily.
"Hurry, leave here…" the fisher shouted.
"Look, what's that?"
A sailor pointed at the ocean as he shouted suddenly. The others looked at the direction along his finger as they found the sea level was giving out golden light as if hundreds of millions of gold coins were over there.
After looking at it carefully, they realized that they were not gold coins, but numerous shrimps from the bottom of the sea. Out of some reason, all the shrimps jumped out of the sea level. As a result, it was like a storm as those shrimps were jumping under the hot sun cheerily as if they wanted to rush into the sky. As they flicked their forelimbs, the entire sea level was full of ear-splitting cracks…
Even though they had caught fish for dozens of years, it was their first time to see this.
"I've only heard about carps leaping into the Dragon's Gate. Why do these shrimps leap into the Dragon's Gate too. Crazy, crazy, crazy shrimps…" an old fisher mumbled with a pale face…
Closely after his words, shoals of fish started to jump out of water one after another, causing another hubbub. In the sunshine, they rushed towards the sun before falling back into the ocean; then they came out of water again…
The similar scene not only appeared in Whitedragon Gulf but also in Yaohai Ocean, the largest ocean in Motian Realm.
On the part of city wall above the heavenly-level gate of Whitedragon Gulf, all the immortal soldiers and generals were watching Yaohai Ocean, mouths agape. The entire Yaohai Ocean was boiled as numerous shrimps started to leap out of the ocean, closely followed by shoals of fish, large or small.
Dolphins reached dozens of meters high in the air before falling back into the ocean, one after another.
Even those tens of thousands of years old turtles floated on the sea level as they called towards the sky, stretching out their necks.
Being far away from the city wall, a huge whale rushed towards the sun before falling back into the ocean, arousing a tall billow…
All the oceanic organisms appeared to be crazy because of some power.
…
Bian Heng had already dived into the ocean. In a split second, he had been thousands of meters away from the core of the swirl at the bottom of the sea.
Then, Bian Heng caught sight of Zhang Tie. Eyes closed, Zhang Tie was imitating something by hands…
Zhang Tie's hands moved very slowly. However, with the changing positions of his hands, he released an increasingly terrifying and esoteric power and punch intent. As a result, the entire waters started to move with his hands as if he was manipulating a puppet.
At this moment, a light appeared on Zhang Tie's body, in which, Bian Heng saw the light and shadow image of a huge shrimp on Zhang Tie's back. Closely after that, the sun rose and fell with his punches one after another, causing ebb and flow of the ocean…
At the sight of that, even though Bian Heng had seen the world and was always calm, he still changed his face as he exclaimed, "The immortal fist skill…"
Chapter 1835: Zhang Tie's Realization Through Observing Shrimps
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Under Bian Heng's gaze, 10 times later, Zhang Tie suddenly punched out at the bottom of the ocean, splitting the seawater all the way from the bottom to the surface of the sea, forming an empty well whose diameter was a few meters. The empty space was surrounded by seawater. At the same time, the huge swirl on the surface of seawater dissipated. Like a brilliant sun, Zhang Tie slowly rose to the surface of the seawater from the bottom together with a huge shadow of shrimp.
Closely after that, Zhang Tie opened his eyes.
After the brilliant sun disappeared, seawater filled the well in an instant, causing billows at once on the surface of the seawater. All the jumping fish and shrimps also stayed calm in the water.
"Ah, senior, why are you here? Didn't you say you will not come back before a week?" When Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he saw Bian Heng watching him with tiny eyes and mouth agape. Zhang Tie then looked around as he asked Bian Heng out of confusion, "Ah, why am I here? Wasn't I underwater just now?"
Bian Heng's face instantly heavily frowned like a dried tangerine peel as he flew towards Zhang Tie. After looking at Zhang Tie from his head to foot seriously, he asked Zhang Tie in a strange tone, "You asked me why I was here? Even I want to know why you are here?"
"Senior, since you left here yesterday, I had been dissipating my heat in the sea. After that, I came here…"
"Then?"
"Then, I found these shrimps strange and started to watch them punching out. Therefore… therefore, I forgot about time…"
'He could attain gnosis only through observing shrimps?'
If it was another person who told Bian Heng about this, Bian Heng would have long slapped him and spat his saliva on that person. However, he had witnessed the abnormal phenomenon and known that Zhang Tie was not lying. Even so, Bian Heng still felt complex as he watched Zhang Tie strangely and smacked his lips, asking, "Do you know how long have you stayed at the bottom of the ocean?"
Zhang Tie looked up at the sky as he answered, "Isn't it just a short while?"
"Just a short while?" Bian Heng revealed a quirky smile as he took a glance at Zhang Tie out of admiration and jealousy, saying, "I've already left Tigerback Mountain 19 days. Therefore, you should have already stayed in the state of gnosis for 18 days and already attained the Supreme Immortal Fist Skill."
Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes as he asked, "18 days?"
"Hmm!" Bian Heng confirmed as he nodded.
"Supreme Immortal Fist Skill?"
Bian Heng nodded again.
"What's Supreme Immortal Fist Skill?"
After hearing this question, Bian Heng almost spurted out blood as he asked in reply, "You don't know what you've got through gnosis?"
Scratching his head, Zhang Tie replied, "I really don't know…"
"Recall your feeling just now."
"Just now, I felt like becoming a shrimp and punching out…" Zhang Tie recalled carefully as he felt entering a state of consciousness of universal laws as a shrimp. He was experiencing the powerful fist intent of the shrimp which could scramble brilliance with the hot sun.
"What else?"
"Shrimps are trivial in the ocean. It's a member of grassroots just like me when I was young. Unconsciously, I feel like becoming the shrimp and having resonance with it. Now that these shrimps could do it, I could do it too…" Zhang Tie was telling the truth, which was the most important reason for having such gnosis through watching shrimps. In his eyes, shrimps were like Zhang Tie himself who was struggling at the lowest social class. The fist skill of shrimps also reflected his life trajectory and fate through constant struggles and strikes in a humble situation.
"The so-called Supreme Immortal Fist Skill is the supreme state among fist skills. It even carries the power of universal laws…"
"My fist skill carries the power of universal laws?" Zhang Tie mumbled. Closely after that, his eyes shone, 'Does it mean that the fist skill that I've just attained has already carried the power of rules of LV 1 consciousness of universal laws? Zhang Tie then looked at his fists in an incredible way as he didn't know the power of this fist skill. After that, he glanced at Bian Heng.
Bian Heng instantly waved his hands as he urged, "Stop! If you want to find a training partner, you'd better find someone else…" After saying that, Bian Heng took a look at Zhang Tie as he frowned again, "Your qi sea…"
'My qi sea? What happened to my qi sea?"
Zhang Tie thought that Bian Heng had found another problem facing his qi sea as he hurriedly introspected. In a split second, Zhang Tie was petrified as if he had been struck by a lightning bolt…
At this moment, a brilliant golden sun was already hanging over Zhang Tie qi sea as the brilliance of the sun had become dense battle qi, filling the entire qi sea.
This battle qi sun was even more brilliant than that before. Additionally, this one looked more vivid.
Zhang Tie was especially here for curing his battle qi problem. However, he had not imagined that his qi sea had already recovered, even better than that before.
Additionally, Zhang Tie felt that he had already reached 7 change realm of his fire chakra as all the fire elements that he had absorbed had been refined and become his own fire chakra automatically.
Just now, Zhang Tie didn't pay attention to his improvement. Now Zhang Tie felt being full of power all over including his qi sea and mind sea. He had already returned to his most powerful state, even 2 stages higher than that when he fought Versatile Demon Emperor…
'What happened? Did I heal myself during such a short period of time at the bottom of sea…'
'No matter what reason, I've already recovered completely.'
Standing in the air, Zhang Tie was shortly dumbfounded; then he became ecstatic as he burst into laughter…
As Zhang Tie who was laughing out had already figured it out, Bian Heng suddenly let out a sigh as he revealed a bitter smile and said, "When you were observing shrimps, your body had been gradually cleansed by the power of universal laws and reached a new height. Therefore, I cannot help you anymore. Our bloody pledge will be abolished…"
Chapter 1836: Zhang Tie's Request
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Master, I appreciate you for your concern these days. I've benefited a lot in Tigerback Mountain. If you like it, I will continue to be your butler in charge of your fishing ground in case of being starved to death!" Zhang Tie said generously.
Bian Heng watched Zhang Tie as he uttered a cold harrumph. Meanwhile, he rolled his eyes, saying, "Don't call me master anymore. When we stayed with each other recently, I've not felt any sincerity of you by calling me that, not to mention now. It feels pretty awkward…"
"How about calling you elder brother then? After all, I like Tideviewing Courtyard. From now on, that place will be my mine. I might continue to rely on Tigerback Mountain…" Zhang Tie said shamelessly.
Over these days, the two people had long been familiar with each other. Zhang Tie knew that Bian Heng was kind-hearted despite being distant superficially. Despite his weird temperament, Bian Heng was actually a good man. Unconsciously, the two people had become good friends despite the great difference in age.
"Humph, whatever…" Bian Heng tacitly approved Zhang Tie's appellation of him.
Only after a short while, an armored immortal general had already arrived dozens of miles away from the city wall of Emperor NvWa City in the distance. At the sight of Bian Heng and Zhang Tie standing still above the sea level, he flew straight towards them.
"When you practiced your supreme immortal fist skill, you've aroused a great shock. The immortal general is flying towards us. You'd better keep silent. I will explain it to him…" Bian Heng told Zhang Tie secretly using his battle qi. Zhang Tie nodded.
Only after a few seconds, that immortal general had already arrived.
"My respects to you, senior…" The immortal general was a swarthy heavenly knight whose thick and black eyebrows carried a fierce intent. At the sight of Bian Heng, he instantly showed his respect. Evidently, he was clear about Bian Heng's identity. Closely after that, he took a look at Zhang Tie beside Bian Heng as his eyes sparkled, asking, "This is…"
As Zhang Tie looked so young and had a profound battle force, no wonder that immortal general paid special attention to Zhang Tie.
"This is my butler in Tigerback Mountain!" Bian Heng said in a muffled voice.
"Oh, I see!" The immortal general saw light suddenly as he moved his eyes away from Zhang Tie and asked Bian Heng, "Senior, have you noticed anything abnormal here?"
"Because we found something abnormal in Whitedragon Gulf just now, we especially came over here to determine it. But we haven't seen anybody here!" Bian Heng said seriously.
"Oh, I see. Sorry to trouble you, senior…" After saying that, the immortal general continued to look around the sea with shiny eyes.
Bian Heng took a look at Zhang Tie. The two people then nodded at each other before heading for Tigerback Mountain together. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at Tideviewing Courtyard and landed there.
Taking his medical kit, Bian Heng said, "As you've already completely recovered, will you continue to stay in Tigerback Mountain?"
"I'm afraid that I will stay here for a few more days. Brother, will you chase me away, elder brother?"
"Just stay as long as you want!" Bian Heng said casually, "Motian Realm is becoming more and more chaotic. As you've just got the gnosis of Supreme Immortal Fist Skill, you'd better strike the iron while it's hot and consolidate your current state. In the future, you will be able to protect yourself…"
"Thanks for your warning, elder brother. Oh, elder brother, how's everything going about Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
"Speaking of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, I must appreciate you for your warning. If not have learned about it in advance, I would not put elder guys on the spot in Emperor NvWa's Palace, hehhehheh…" Bian Heng said as he revealed a pleasant smile, "No matter how powerful Versatile Demon Emperor is, he's not unrivaled. Although we've not worked out the solution to detoxify the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in Emperor NvWa's Palace, we've already been able to determine whether a person is influenced by Golden-Soul Rune Virus or not. Even though Dark Emperor Immortal Palace is mysterious, we could still catch its tail…"
After hearing Bian Heng's words, Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh. Now that humans could fight demons for so many years in Motian Realm, they must have countermeasures and confidence. The elites in Motian Realm had already developed a way to detect Golden-Soul Rune Virus the moment they received the specimen of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. That was really something! At least Zhang Tie was unable to make it himself.
"That's great, elder brother, you've made great contributions to humans across Motian Realm…" Zhang Tie spoke highly of Bian Heng. Closely after that, a whim occurred to him as he asked, "Oh, elder brother, could the city defense system of Emperor NvWa's City detect people with Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
Zhang Tie cared about it very much as he wanted to know whether the powers of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace could enter Emperor NvWa's City. Although being in Tigerback Mountain these days, Zhang Tie had not relaxed his vigilance at all.
"Although being exceptional, Golden-Soul Rune Virus still couldn't pass the city defense system of Emperor NvWa's City. Emperor NvWa's City was an immortal unity produced in far-ancient times. It's much more powerful than the rune skills of Versatile Demon Emperor. Now that you've passed the city gate of Emperor NvWa's City, you must have a fresh memory about the situation inside the city gate. The city gate was covered with numerous runes which could identify demons. The puppet worm of Golden-Soul Rune Virus had a deep relationship with demons. As long as people with Golden-Soul Rune Virus entered the city gates of Emperor NvWa's City, they would be discovered at once. When I came to Emperor NvWa's Palace, I was told that the head with Golden-Soul Runed Virus was discovered the moment the envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace entered the city gate of Emperor NvWa City with it…"
After hearing Bian Heng's explanation, Zhang Tie finally let out a sigh. Not until then did he understand why he was not assassinated after coming to Tigerback Mountain so long.
According to Zhang Tie's previous prediction, if Versatile Demon Emperor could conjecture that he would come to Tigerback Mountain for medical treatment, Versatile Demon Emperor would definitely make preparation in Tigerback Mountain as soon as possible. Because Zhang Tie would become increasingly powerful day by day, which meant that it would become more difficult for Versatile Demon Emperor to kill him. However, Tigerback Mountain was peaceful recently. Zhang Tie even thought that Versatile Demon Emperor was brewing another fatal trick and was going to launch a fatal lightning strike towards him when he relaxed his vigilance. After hearing Bian Heng's words, Zhang Tie understood that it was not that Versatile Demon Emperor didn't want to assassinate him, but all the powers of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were blocked out of Emperor NvWa City.
"Elder brother, could you give me a favor…" Zhang Tie asked as a whim occurred to him.
"Go ahead!"
"Don't expose the news that I've already completely recovered to anyone else. Just treat me as a patient like before. If possible, elder brother, you could tell others that my disease couldn't be cured in a short period of time. Additionally, the medicament treatment process is very troublesome…"
Bian Heng was really smart as he immediately understood Zhang Tie's meaning the moment he heard Zhang Tie's request, "You want to screw someone?"
"Can't I?"
"Whom do you want to screw?"
"It had better be Versatile Demon Emperor or supreme-level immortal generals, namely the heads of the four branches of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace at least…" Zhang Tie replied with a faint weird smile…
Chapter 1837: Spike Shrimps
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"You want to trap Versatile Demon Emperor?" Bian Heng asked as he goggled at Zhang Tie as if Zhang Tie was a lunatic, "You've just survived his fatal strike. Are you courting death? Demon Emperor is not that foolish. Do you know how many demon generals were killed when Versatile Demon Emperor ambushed Runed Emperor? Even though you've got the essence of the Immortal Fist Skill, you still couldn't defeat Versatile Demon Emperor. A wind immortal general wants to trap Versatile Demon Emperor, you must be sick…"
"Of course, I can't do it alone!" Zhang Tie smirked as he added, "I'm aware of my own ability. But if I could have some helpers such as elder brother, through a considerate plan, I think It's possible for us to trap him!"
"Forget about that. I don't want to die so fast!" Bian Heng swung his sleeves as he intended to walk outside, saying, "Listen, if you want to kill such a power, you should find 2 immortal emperors or 7,000-8,000 fearless immortal generals to form an unrivaled battle formation…"
"Elder brother, take it easy. Don't be so serious. If I try my best, I could at least trap his subordinate supreme-level immortal generals, even if I couldn't trap demon emperors!"
"I will help you cure your disease and tell others that you've not healed yet. But I would never participate in this thing. It's the job of Star Emperor, Force Emperor, Dragon Emperor and those people in Emperor NvWa's Palace to kill Versatile Demon Emperor and the supreme-level immortal generals in Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. I would never take such a risk. Even if I could help you kill Versatile Demon Emperor and the supreme-level immortal generals of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, I would not get any benefits at all. I would even lose my life. Even idiots would not do that. Additionally, Versatile Demon Emperor is pretty cunning. Even if you want to trap his supreme-level immortal generals, you have to prevent from being trapping by him. Like those fishers on the ocean, previously they just wanted to catch some small fish; unexpectedly, many of them became the food of sharks. In many cases, after you threw out of your fishhook, you could not decide what you would get. Additionally, if I want something, as long as I ask for it, people would queue up to gift it to me. I don't need to risk my life at all. Humph…"
After saying that, Bian Heng took his medical kit and left Tiderviewing Courtyard rapidly, leaving Zhang Tie alone.
Rubbing his face, Zhang Tie watched Bian Heng's back and thought about his words. Bian Heng's words really reminded him that it was not that easy for him to deal with Versatile Demon Emperor. The key was that it was very difficult for Zhang Tie to find some powerful helpers who dared fight Versatile Demon Emperor.
Ordinary people wouldn't do any help to him; however, powers like Bian Heng would not like to risk their lives doing that unless they were backed to a corner by Versatile Demon Emperor; because the benefits didn't worth their payment.
'If I want to trap the heads of the branches of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, I have to be ready for the situation that it was Versatile Demon Emperor who enters the trap. Otherwise, I might be eaten by a shark before getting any small fish.'
'Only immortal emperors could deal with Versatile Demon Emperor. Across Motian Realm, there are only two immortal emperors, namely Star Emperor and Force Emperor. There might also be an immortal emperor in Emperor NvWa's Palace; but I'm afraid that it's not that easy to convince them.'
'The death of any immortal emperor or demon emperor was always an earthshaking event in Motian Realm. If I want to do it, I need good timing, geographical convenience and help of other powers. I shall never do that out of impulsion. If demon emperors or immortal emperors could be killed easily, they would never have stood on the top of the pyramid of power in this world.'
'It seems that I have to wait for the opportunity.'
After Bian Heng left there, Zhang Tie started to think about all the possible situations as he gradually recovered composure.
"If I'm already an immortal emperor…" Zhang Tie mumbled as he lowered his head and looked at his hands with a silent smile.
Only innocent kids would dream about reaching their heyday in a short period of time. If Zhang Tie wanted to touch the top of the pyramid of power, he needed to make hard efforts step by step. Thankfully, he had discovered another shortcut for fast improvement.
The shortcut lay in those shrimps.
Zhang Tie had already got the essence of Immortal Fist Skill. However, thos shrimps had a greater benefit for him, namely, they could provide him fruits of redemption.
Previously, Zhang Tie always wondered how to acquire a body with complete immortal strength. When he saw these shrimps, he finally confirmed that these shrimps were another helpers for him to acquire a body of complete immortal strength besides golden uangs.
'I've already got enough strength, but I lack explosive force. As long as I get enough explosive force, the power of my kinetic strike and* Immortal Fist Skill* that I've just got could surge.'
'As long as I'm powerful enough, it would be convenient for me to do whatever I want.'
'Oh, I might not even know the name of the shrimp. I don't know too much about that kind of shrimp.'
Zhang Tie then returned to his cultivation room and put on his clothes before sitting on the stone bed, legs crossed. After that, he ran his spiritual energy and activated a trouble-reappearance situation.
…
Only after a few minutes, Zhang Tie had already appeared in the largest library of Xuanyuan Hill.
Nobody was in the library. Walking in the library, Zhang Tie could only hear his clear footsteps from the mirror-like floor, which resonated across the library. It was the largest human library in Taixia Country. At this moment, it became Zhang Tie's private library.
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had come to a senior private reading room. After manipulating on the terminal of the difference engine for a few seconds, Zhang Tie immediately got over 100 relevant titles of articles.
After clicking those titles, Zhang Tie got passages about that kind of shrimp and their photos.
——Spike shrimp has a pair of pincers, one large, the other small. The larger one could reach half of its length. Being different than the smaller one, half of the larger one couldn't move which contained a hollow cave; the other half of the larger one had a movable "piston" which could insert into the hollow cave. The larger pincer was muscular and strong. When the "piston" inserted in the hollow cave, the other half of the larger pincer would shoot out at a very high speed. Due to heavy frictions, a pressure lower than steam pressure formed near its larger pincer, in which state, the surrounding water would experience a bizarre physical change.
"Essentially, this kind of bubble comes into being due to frictions," said Nancy Norton a biologist on coral reefs in Smith Association, "When the bubbles break up, the temperature surrounding those minor bubbles could reach almost 5,000 degree Celsius, which was almost as same as that on the surface of the sun. From a certain degree, spike shrimp is the most powerful animal which is closest to the sun…"——A bizarre organism in the ocean.
——Due to the terrifying explosive force of their muscles, they could released over 120 times more force than their muscle strength. The accelerated velocity of their punch could reach over 11,000 times more than that of the gravity of earth. They're the most powerful boxer and preyer in the mother nature. All the humans should feel lucky that spike shrimps only live in the ocean; instead of climbing onto the ground. Additionally, as they're small, they could be easily dealt with. If spike shrimps could be as large as sharps, when they go ashore, it would mean a doomsday catastrophe for humans.
——You might not understand the terror of spike shrimps when they punch out. Here's a metaphor, if you could punch out like a spike shrimp, within 1/700 second, you could escape from the earth's gravity and fly out of the atmospheric layer with the power of your fist——spike shrimp, the king of explosive force
…
After stayin the library for less than 20 minutes, Zhang Tie had already got what he needed.
Although Zhang Tie had already made a mental preparation, he was still shocked by the descriptions that spike shrimp could release over 100 times more force than his own muscle strength and could reach over 11,000 times more gravitional acceleration.
Zhang Tie couldn't even imagine about the situation when he could release 100 times more force than his muscle strength in a split second. He really wondered about the power of his punch and the kinetic strike by then…
'F*ck!' What made Zhang Tie's heart palpitate was that the contents about spike shrimp recorded in the library were all before the Catastrophe. However, these spike shrimps in Motian Realm had already mutated evidently due to rich reiki in Motian Realm as if their explosive force would be greater than that of ordinary spike shrimps like that between golden uangs and ordinary uangs.
'It means that by setting free these spike shrimps in Motian Realm, I could get more powerful fruits of redemption.'
…
After leaving the trouble-reappearance situation, Zhang Tie looked up and sighed with emotions in the cultivation room. 'Emperor NvWa City is really my paradise!'
…
On the second early morning, Zhang Tie had left Tideviewing Courtyard and Tigerback Mountain for the fish market wharf in the east of Tigerback Town.
When Zhang Tie arrived there, the fish market wharf was pretty boisterous. Fishers were discharging cargoes and discussing the abnormal situation on the sea level yesterday…
Chapter 1838: Visiting the Fish Market Again
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
It was not Zhang Tie's first time to go to a fish market.
When in Hidden Dragon Island, Zhang Tie had often visited fish markets. When in Youzhou Province, he also always went to fish markets. Fish markets being close to wharves were the best place for setting free marine organisms given the large quantities of marine organisms, low prices and geographical convenience. He could even rent ships to set free marine organisms away from the seaside, in which way, it would not arouse the attention of the others. Everything was ready.
Compared to setting free marine organisms, it was not that convenient to release other terrestrial animals.
Take setting free chickens, ducks, cattles or sheep as an instance, it was not difficult for him to buy them; but it would be very difficult for him to set free them in the wild.
Firstly, these animals couldn't adapt to the living environment in the wild. Secondly, even though he could find some suitable living environments for these animals, it was a big problem for him to transport them. Thirdly, even though he didn't care about the cost of transportation, as long as he set free too many terrestrial animals in one place, people would go there to catch them for sure. This problem could barely be eradicated. If he wanted to eradicate this problem, he had to buy a large area of land and hire a lot of people to look after those animals. Even so, it would also arouse the attention of the public. Additionally, the operation would be very troublesome. Besides, many more problems would be derived from it.
Therefore, since the Third Holy War between humans and demons broke out, Zhang Tie had only set free earthworms and golden uangs on land.
It was not because that Zhang Tie didn't want to set free more terrestrial animals for more fruits of redemption so as to increase his strength; instead, the concrete operation would be very troublesome. In peaceful times, Zhang Tie had enough time, money and land to do that; however, in the holy war, it would be like putting the cart before the horse by spending much time and labor forces on it.
After the holy war broke out, Zhang Tie should protect humans ahead of animals.
Zhang Tie once thought about releasing those animals into Castle of Black Iron; however, the biggest shortcoming for doing that was that it would easily expose the existence of Castle of Black Iron to the public. If he purchased a large number of animals once, which then disappeared in a short period of time, someone would definitely discover it. That might bring troubles to Zhang Tie. To be honest, Zhang Tie didn't have time to stroll in fish markets to buy small animals since the holy war broke out.
…
The fish market in Tigerback Town was not small. It lasted about 1,600 m alongside the wharf. Simple bamboo sheds were close to each other, large or small. Under those bamboo sheds were fish ponds made of stone. Many fresh sea products were put in the fish ponds closely after they were discharged from ships. Only a few of them were dead which would be put aside. As fresh sea products could be sold at high prices, fishers and street pedlars preferred fresh sea products.
Besides satisfying the demands of Tigerback Town, this fish market could also cater to the demands of some towns in the farther distance around Whitedragon Gulf. As for the people in those towns, this place was the closest place where they could buy fresh sea products. Therefore, many people would come here to purchase fresh sea products on each early morning.
As a country, Emperor NvWa City was very large and had a lot of people. Therefore, many populated commercial centers in Emperor NvWa City were called towns instead of cities, whether large or small. Small towns were almost like common towns outside Emperor NvWa City where lived thousands or even tens of thousands of people; big towns were vital towns which always contained millions of people just like cities.
In the beginning, Zhang Tie was confused about this; after staying in Tigerback Mountain for a few days, he finally figured it out.
Therefore, although the fish market in Tigerback Town was available to only a few towns, it was not small given the sizes of those towns.
The air in the fish market was stinky as the ground there was always wet. Uran carriages were accessing to those bamboo sheds with water tanks. Many purchasers often visited here; therefore, they were already familiar with the bosses. These customers almost didn't bargain with the bosses as they had long fixed the prices. After checking goods, they would weigh them and load them on the uran carriages. After payment, the purchasers would drive uran carriages away.
However, as for those strange customers or those who didn't purchase too many once, they used to bargain with the bosses across the fish market.
Zhang Tie didn't stay too long under those bamboo sheds. Based on his experience in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie knew that he should find a couple of reliable agents to do that for him for the sake of efficiency. Those large fish stores' bosses were ideal targets for him.
In such a fish market, those small pedlars only needed to set up a bamboo shed. Those who had a bigger business or monopolized the pricing of one or two sea products would found fish stores as they had higher positions in the fish market and the wharf.
As long as Zhang Tie could pay them enough money and use some spiritual secret method to control one or two able and obedient assistants in the fish stores, it would be easy for him to make it. By doing that, he didn't have to care about it himself; instead, he only waited to eat fruits.
After strolling in the fish market for a while, Zhang Tie saw a large fish store in front of him. It contained more than 100 bamboo sheds and fish ponds which were connected with each other. There was a magnificent 2-storey building in front of these bamboo sheds and fish ponds on the edge of the wharf. There were some golden words above the gate of the building——Du's Fish Store, which dwarfed all the other booths and bamboo sheds.
When Zhang Tie came here, two people were talking at the gate of the fish store.
"Butler Liu, the price of these hairtails remains unchanged. I even lost my capital. You know the situation facing the fish market today, after the abnormal phenomenon in Whitedragon Gulf, the prices of many sea products have risen. Take hair fish as an instance, its price is at least 30% higher than that before. When you go back, remember to put in a good word for me in front of the boss of Jadeocean Building. Don't forget about me when you have other demands in the future…"
"Mr. Du, was that real? I couldn't believe it. How could the fish and shrimps deep in ocean jump out of the sea level? Previously I only heard that dolphins could jump into ships. If it was real, the fishing boats in Whitedragon Gulf must have got a big harvest. In that way, the prices of these sea products should be lower. How could they rise?"
"A big harvest? Many fishermen were scared so much. Fishers respect the Dragon King the most. Whenever they go to sea, they would like to be safe. They have not even heard about such an abnormal phenomenon before. Previously, if fish or shrimps jumped into ships, they would be very happy about that as they felt it meant good luck. However, if all the fish and shrimps jumped out of water; even those marine organisms which could never be seen on the sea showed up, it would be utterly different. At the sight of it, they would feel cold. Even though those things jumped in boats, nobody dared take them. They all thought that the Dragon King must be losing his temper. They even set free all the sea products that you had caught on that day and came back soon for the sake of reassurance. Therefore, the total amount of sea products in the fish market today is at least 30%-40% less than that before. Of course, the general price should have risen. Butler Liu, if you don't believe in me, you could ask around…"
"Alright, I gotta get going. The boite is waiting for me. No matter what, we've cooperated for a couple of days. Sometimes, when the general price in the fish market was a bit lower, we still referred to the same price that we had fixed, right? Mr. Du, that's what a business is supposed to be, right? Only in this way could our cooperation last long and Mr. Du's business become better. If Jadeocean Building's business in Xin'an Town becomes better, all the hundreds of boites and restaurants in Xin'an Town would know that we purchased fresh food ingredients from your fish store at reasonable prices. Of course, Du's Fish Store would be well-known in the region…"
"You're right, Butler Liu; you're right…"
As they talked with each other, Mr. Du walked Butler Liu out. Outside Du's Fish Store, four uran carriages had been loaded with sea products. Butler Liu directly got on one of them. After noticing his partners, those drivers drove away…
Seeing Butler Liu off, Mr. Du shook his head with a bitter smile. When he was going back to his store, he heard a strange voice.
���Are you Mr. Du?"
Mr. Du turned around as he found a youth was smiling at him…
Despite his average look, only after taking a look at the youth's costumes, Mr. Du had revealed a passionate smile out of respect. There were too many important guests in Tigerback Town who came from all directions. To be honest, the boss of a fish store dared never offend anyone of them whether they were here for learning medical skills or for medical treatment. "I'm Du Dahai, the boss of Du's Fish Store, may I help you, Your Excellency?"
"It's said that Du's Fish Store is not bad in this region; therefore, I'm especially here for some goods!"
After hearing that Zhang Tie was here for goods, Mr. Du's smile became more enthusiastic as he hurriedly made a hand gesture to invite Zhang Tie in, "Please come in; please come in. Let's talk inside…"
Chapter 1839: Communication
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After inviting Zhang Tie in, Boss Du told a waiter to serve a cup of tea for Zhang Tie. Before Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Boss Du had already taken out a brochure and gave it to Zhang Tie, saying, "Here's the list of products that my store could provide, please take a look. Cuttlefish bone, starfish ash, abalone shell, pufferfish liver, short-necked clam, hawksbill turtle, billfish liver, reef, seven-star eel, sea horse, kelp, agar (a seaweed), tanaka, caloglossa leprieurii, sargasso weed are available immediately. You could get as many good products as possible. If you want some rarities such as scallop, sea cucumber and colorful sea snakes, you should reserve them. We could also assign people to catch them. But it would a bit more expensive and would be a bit later. You could leave your address to me. When the products are prepared well, I will have people invite you to check them…"
After hearing his words, Zhang Tie became shortly stunned. Instead of opening the brochure, Zhang Tie directly put it onto the desk. Although the items that Boss Du listed were all sea products, they were mainly medicinal ingredients. 'Perhaps many people in Tigerback Town used to buy sea medicinal ingredients here; therefore Boss Du thinks I'm as also here to buy medicinal ingredients.'
"I'm not here for medicinal ingredients!" Zhang Tie explained as he shook his head, "I just want to buy some ordinary sea products!"
"I'm sorry; I'm sorry…" Boss Du became shortly stunned as he hurriedly put away that brochure and took another glance at Zhang Tie. Closely after that, he asked Zhang Tie meticulously with a big smile, "May I know your boite's address? Are you going to order food ingredients for the boite?"
"I don't have a boite!" Zhang Tie replied as he shook his head again.
Boss Du became shortly stunned again. Closely after that, he asked Zhang Tie patiently, "What kind of sea products do you want, sir?"
"How about showing me around your warehouse?"
"Sure, please… please…" After sitting down there for less than 2 minutes, the two people had already stood up again. Boss Du took Zhang Tie straight to his warehouse after leaving the back door of his store. All the sea products were put under rows of bamboo sheds.
There were dozens of sufficient fresh sea products here, including fish, shrimps, shells, conches even kelps. Some assistants were busy doing their jobs under these bamboo sheds.
After looking around these stockpiles with the introduction of Boss Du, Zhang Tie came to a fish pool covering over 20 square meters, which was filled with tens of thousands of pistol shrimps, weighing tons in total.
Zhang Tie stopped his foot as he asked Boss Du, "What's this shrimp?"
As they were called spear shrimps in the world where he came from, Zhang Tie didn't know its concrete name in Motian Realm. Therefore, he asked Boss Du about it.
"Oh, it's pistol shrimp. Although they're not large, they have great force. Especially their forelimbs which are even more powerful than that of iron crabs. When they thrust out their forelimbs, it would be like shooting long spears. Therefore, they were called spear shrimps. Although their name sounds terrifying, their meat tastes nice. If you make shrimp meatballs using their meat, you will find it is pretty chewy…"
'I've not imagined that their name remains unchanged here. It seems that the people who named them were soul mates.'
"What's your price?" Zhang Tie asked Boss Du.
"It depends on how many do you want?"
"I will buy them all!" Zhang Tie took a look at Boss Du as he added, "Not only the spear shrimps in your store, I will even buy all the spear shrimps of the other stores in this fishing market in the future…"
"All of them?" Boss Du was shocked too much. He knew Zhang Tie was rich; however, he had not imagined that Zhang Tie wanted so many.
"Can't I?"
"You can. Of course, you can. If you want something, even though it's not available immediately, I could get them for you from boatmen or other booths. But you know, the total weight of spear shrimps at this wharf ranges from 2,500 kg to 5,000 kg per day. A boite doesn't need so many spear shrimps at all…"
"It's none of your business!"
Boss Du frowned immediately. After calculating it for a few seconds, he asked, "Sir, are you going to carry them or need me to have people send them to the designated place? If you come here for them yourself, it would be a bit cheaper, 4 white crystal coins per kg; if you want us to send them to you, it depends on the distance, the longer it is, the higher the price would be!"
"Send them to the designated place then!"
"Sir, where do you want us to send them to?"
"Just send them to Whitedragon Gulf by boat every day and release all of them…"
"What? Sir, you mean you want us to release all of them back to the ocean after buying these spear shrimps?"
"Right!"
After doing this business for so many years, it was Boss Du's first time to meet such a guest. After buying fresh seafood, he didn't eat them; instead, he preferred to release them back to the ocean. 'Does he have too much money and don't know how to spend them or have any mental problem? Perhaps this guy is just making fool of me?'
Boss Du then looked at Zhang Tie in a weird way. If not Zhang Tie's noble clothes which implied that he was not poor, Boss Du might have already had people dislodge Zhang Tie from his store.
However, rich people were always bosses. After taking another look at Zhang Tie, Boss Du quoted. In his opinion, if this guest agreed with his quotation, he would do such a business. As there were always some rich people who wanted to hear the sound of splatters by throwing money into the water. It was none of his business. However, if Zhang Tie disagreed, he would call his assistants to drive Zhang Tie out of there.
"Generally speaking, paid on delivery. Frequent guests could pay us at the end of each month; however, you know, sir, your demand is so huge. We need to rent a huge ship and a lot of people to carry those spear shrimps. Plus transportation cost, each kilo of spear shrimps would be at least 22 white crystal coins. Therefore, you need to pay us enough advance payment…"
Zhang Tie took a look at Boss Du with a smile as he took out a purse and threw it to Boss Du.
After opening it and catching sight of the shimmering blue crystal coins, Boss Du's heart raced at a stroke.
"Take it as my advance payment. I accept your quotation. Boss Du, please arrange it now. I want to release them today…"
