The Foolish Waiter
In Ba Commandery, a pale golden Flying Boat sails leisurely across the clear blue sky.
After Yang Tianyou wiped out the Zhao Household Remnants, he also joined the attack on the Gold-Piercing Falcon. As a result, this powerful Second-Tier Middle-Grade Demon Beast quickly perished on the spot.
On the deck, Yang Tianyou and his brother Yang Tianwang were excitedly tallying up their spoils, while Wolf Ancestor, Fengling, and Yuan Ba watched from the side.
The gains from annihilating the Zhao Household Remnants were enormous. Not to mention anything else, the value of a single Second-Tier Upper-Grade Golden-Pattern Pear Tree, a Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Bianhe Boat, and a Third-Tier Lower-Grade Fire Attribute Flying Sword alone exceeded 150,000 Spirit Stones.
In addition, there were other resources of varying grades, as well as 80,000 Spirit Stones piled up in several large boxes.
All in all, the total harvest can be sold for about 300,000 Spirit Stones, but it should not exceed 350,000.
"The Zhao Household actually has a Third Tier Law Treasure. Fortunately, it's an offensive Swordsmanship. If it were something like an inner armor, this operation would probably have encountered many more obstacles," Yang Tianwang said with lingering fear.
Yang Tianyou nodded slightly. Just as his Fifteenth Brother said, although it was extremely difficult for Foundation Establishment Cultivator to activate Third Tier Law Treasure, like a child swinging a sledgehammer, Zhao Zongkun was, after all, Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, and could still manage to activate it a few times.
Even if it can't, the Law Treasure will automatically protect its master if it is threatened.
Fortunately, this was an offensive Swordsmanship, and it was of the Fire Attribute, which was incompatible with Zhao Zongkun's nature, allowing him to kill it with a single blow using the God-Slaying Crossbow.
"This is one of the two Third Tier Law Treasures left behind by Zhou Zhenhao, the Dragon Valley Sword Immortal. Back then, our two families divided the treasures of the Dragon Valley Hall equally, and there were three third-tier Law Treasures, all of them low -Third Tier Third-Tier Lower-Grade Law Treasures."
"They are, respectively, a Fire Attribute Flying Sword, a Spell-Breaking, and the most precious Grotto-Heaven Law Treasure, the Dragon Valley Hall."
"Dragon Valley Hall was sold to Senior Jin Lianri, the Fire Attribute Flying Sword was left to the Zhao Household, and we received a tattered Earth Attribute robe, plus more resources," Yang Tianyou explained.
"Our Lineage also has Third Tier Law Treasure?" Yang Tianwang's Shen Yi lit up.
"It's damaged, probably from when Zhou Zhenhao fought his way out. It's not completely unusable, but its power is greatly weakened, roughly equivalent to a slightly stronger False Core Cultivator fully activating a defensive Law Technique."
"I see. I didn't know our Lineage had such a trump card until you told me," Yang Tianwang said, suddenly realizing.
"It's not exactly a trump card anymore. As the Lineage's strength grows, we'll gradually reveal some of our power to deter other forces." Yang Tianyou smiled, then lowered his head to carefully examine the Golden-Pattern Pear Tree in his hand.
The Zhao Household's transplanting techniques were quite good, and they protected the Golden-Pattern Pear Tree very well.
Although some time has passed since I left the Spirit Medicine Garden, the leaves of this Spirit Tree have not Withered Yellow or turned yellow. They remain lush and vibrant, with specks of golden light on the veins, making them quite beautiful.
In addition to the Spirit Tree, Yang Tianyou also found dozens of ripe Golden-Pattern Pears in Zhao Zongkun's Storage Ring.
With just a sweep of his Spiritual Awareness, Yang Tianyou could sense the incredibly rich Geng Metal Spiritual Qi contained within.
"With this Golden-Pattern Pear, my cultivation speed will be even faster," he thought to himself with great delight.
Then, Yang Tianyou picked up a miniature Flying Boat.
The Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Bianhe Boat is comparable only to the Black Iron Boat of the Zhou family in Black Iron Town Zhou Household and the Qianmu Boat of the Liu Household in Qianmu Town among all the Foundation Establishment Lineage in the entire Dragon Valley County.
The Yang Household's Purple Moon Boat is still under construction. Due to a lack of manpower, it is estimated that it will take several more years to complete.
The Bianhe Boat is entirely golden, with various birds carved on its surface, including familiar bird-like Demon Beast such as the Gold-Piercing Falcon, the Blazing Flame Eagle, the Red-Wing Flying Eagle, and the White-Feather Spirit Crane.
Yang Tianyou carefully counted them; there were a total of eighty-one images, all interconnected, forming a powerful Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Formation — the Thousand-Feather Sky-Piercing Formation!
Yang Tianyou was naturally very familiar with the Zhao Household's situation, including the Thousand-Feather Sky-Piercing Formation.
It is said that this Formation has a very high level cap, and can be constructed from the blood and feathers of 81 kinds of flying beasts Demon Beast, forming Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Formation.
Using the blood and feathers of 490 kinds of birds and Demon Beasts as a base, Third-Tier Supreme-Grade Formation can be constructed, and so on.
Legend has it that there was once a sect that used the blood and feathers of three thousand kinds of birds as a base to set up the Thousand-Feather Sky-Piercing Formation on Flying Boat. Once activated, it could traverse tens of thousands of feet of sky in the blink of an eye, with unbelievable speed.
Bianhe Boat certainly didn't have that kind of speed, but if he fully activated the Thousand-Feather Sky-Piercing Formation, he could still cover a hundred feet in the blink of an eye.
"With this, a major weakness of our Lineage has been addressed," Yang Tianyou remarked as he packed up the Bianhe Boat.
"Nineteenth Younger Brother, where are we going next? Huai River City?"
"Well, the return journey by Cross-Commandery Flying Boat will take another two months. In the meantime, let's wait in Huai River City and experience the local customs and culture of Ba Commandery."
Huai River City was built along the Huai River, a tributary of the Luochuan River, and is ruled by the Huai River Xiong Household Golden Core Household clan.
This magnificent city is in no way inferior to Cloudglow City. It is like Giant Beast lying on the earth, swallowing people from all directions. The bustling population gathered in the city rises into the sky.
The Yang Tianyou brothers went straight into the city, paid two Spirit Stones, and then entered the central area, where they settled into an exquisite pavilion.
The two then parted ways and wandered around the central area.
Accompanied by Fengling, Yuan Ba, and Ruoqing, who had just joined the group, Yang Tianyou's first destination was naturally the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion.
There was nothing we could do; there were two foodies in our group.
In a Spirit Cuisine pavilion called Golden Goblet Tower, on the second floor by the window, a person and three beasts sat, with Fengling holding the menu and ordering food.
It glanced at the menu intently with its wolf eyes, then drew a circle with its furry paw before tossing the menu to the waiter beside it.
"Awoo..." Fengling said.
Waiter. "???"
The man and the wolf stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"Senior Wolf, are these the dishes you've circled?" the waiter asked politely.
"No, it means, serve one copy of everything except the circled ones," Yang Tianyou explained, covering his face.
Waiter. "???"
It seemed like the first time they'd ever seen such an unusual way of ordering food; the waiter's steps were even a little unsteady as he left.
"Awooo..." (How can this person be so stupid? They don't even know the wolf language.)
Fengling rolled her eyes.
Ruoqing nearby, nodded in agreement, like a chick pecking at rice.
Surprisingly, Yuan Ba nodded seriously, seemingly also dissatisfied with the waiter's stupidity.
Didn't you realize we all have big appetites? That circled portion—who could it possibly feed?
Yang Tianyou: "..."
He didn't want to talk.
An hour later, as he savored the delicious spirit fish, Yang Tianyou suddenly realized that what Fengling and the others said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
Such delicious food, but such a small amount, who could possibly eat it all?
"The waiter is really stupid!"
