Top Grade Bloodstone

1.23!

It's 0.3 less than 0.97!

If 0.97 can still provoke the Flood Dragon's Malice intent, how will the Flood Dragon react to 1.2...?

It's too hot to handle!

This is a real pain in the ass! Liang Qu resigned from his First Offering Official and was relegated to second place, hoping to steal a little bit at a time and steadily advance to the Water King Ape. He never expected to receive so much favor all at once.

First time entering the Huai River?

Liang Qu looked at the White Ape God that had been placed on the altar.

White smoke filled the air, and curtains obscured the view.

The two statues were blurry and indistinct, adding to their ethereal quality.

The previous four times were all Sacrifice to the Huai River, and they received favor. This time, however, it was indicated that it was the first time entering the Huai River.

First time entering the Huai River.

White Ape take over the Huai River?

The main body isn't the Chief Priest? Is there any difference between the first and second offerings? Liang Qu's teeth ache.

Will the Flood Dragon lock onto its target immediately? Usually, if someone accidentally steals too much, they can use time to get by. But like Yi Xing Town, they only know the South Bank, not the exact location.

The story of the White Ape slaying the snake is currently making headlines and is known to everyone.

From the Flood Dragon's perspective, its subordinates had just been killed by an unknown White Ape, leaving it unable to avenge them and in a bad mood. Less than half a month later, in the same location, another bit of its favor had been stolen...

The White Ape and the Favorability are almost strongly linked, and on the surface, the White Ape is on good terms with him.

Liang Qu didn't expect the Flood Dragon's intelligence to be lower than that of a three-year-old child, who was still learning to speak from his subordinates and had entered the Dragon Palace entirely by relying on his strength to throw bricks. He only hoped that the Flood Dragon's tolerance was greater than he imagined and that it wouldn't be unable to restrain itself and come to the Shallow Water Area in person.

If I turn into White Ape underwater in the future, I must be extremely careful.

Liang Qu's expression was complicated. He didn't even pay attention to what was being sung until everyone bowed again, at which point he also bowed.

Why.

For a little bit of favor, the White Ape was exposed to the Flood Dragon's gaze; whether this was a cause for joy or sorrow was unknown.

"The ceremony is complete!"

Master of Ceremonies ended, the drumming and music abruptly ceased, and white smoke rose even higher.

Outside, cheers erupted like a tidal wave, and the crowd was filled with excitement.

From now on, the Dragon Lord will have one more White Ape subordinate to slay the Snake Demon! Upon hearing that the ceremony was complete, the solemn participants stretched their limbs and relaxed.

Those who reacted quickly, without even glancing at the statue, rushed to the vicinity of Liang Qu and inquired again about the affairs of Huaiyin County.

"Lord Liang, the sacrificial ceremony is now complete. Could you please provide some details so that we may be informed?"

"That's right. Huaiyin Prefecture is always close to Fragrant Township County. We were really nervous when we heard that the old Prefect had been attacked."

"If it interferes with official business, then we will pretend we have not asked."

"What's done is done, there's nothing to be ashamed of." Liang Qu's face showed sorrow, and he was overwhelmed with grief. "The imperial guards have reported that the Ghost Mother Sect sent Great Grandmaster to ambush Prefect Su while he was away moving out."

Later, the reclusive master Weng Lijun rushed from the city to help, but it was too late. Master Su was severely wounded and died on the spot during the ensuing battle, his last act being a desperate attempt to kill a master of the Ghost Mother Sect.

"Where is Grandmaster Weng?"

"Having failed to gain the upper hand, they arrived but were still no match for the enemy, suffering severe injuries and near death, before being rescued by Great Martial Master in the city."

"And what about the other Ghost Mother Cult Master?"

"Seriously wounded, he fled."

"Ah, this..."

"Oh dear, how did it come to this?"

"Lord Liang, please accept my condolences. The Ghost Mother Sect is full of cunning schemes and is truly a great scourge to our dynasty!"

Seeing Liang Qu's sorrowful expression, which seemed genuine, the crowd was surprised and filled with admiration.

A loyal and patriotic man indeed! Zhang and Li had initially thought Liang Qu was a cunning sly fellow, but his performance today has forced them to admit they were somewhat mistaken.

County Liu Shiqin quietly tugged at Liang Qu's sleeve, his eyes darting left and right.

"Tell me everything, is it really okay?" Liang Qu shook his head.

The messenger Cloud Hawk Embroidered Uniform Guard, did not ask him to conceal the truth. Instead, he said that if anyone asked, it was fine to speak.

He felt something was amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint what was so strange about it.

Putting everything else aside, the Ghost Mother Cult Master has the ability to "come back to life." Can a Grand Martial Master alone save her? In short, do what the superiors say.

"Prefect Su, how imposing was the Black-Clad Commandant back then! Riding a Black Tortoise across the Great Marsh, none dared to offend him. I grew up listening to his stories. In the blink of an eye, sigh~"

"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; even Perfected Elephant Grandmaster cannot escape it."

"The appearance of Prefect Su is astonishing. It is too much of a pity to exchange one life for another. It is also the worthless life of a remnant of the Ghost Mother Sect."

Everyone sighed with sorrow, their thoughts a jumble of emotions.

True Image lives to be three hundred, one still cannot Great Freedom and remains entangled in the mortal world.

Formed by Former Dynasty Remnants, this small Ghost Mother Sect is ready to attack anyone it wants.

"My lords, the deceased are gone, and the living remain. Should we Distributing Blessings?"

The Old Temple Keeper keeper stepped forward carrying a large platter with a thick piece of fatty pork belly on it.

"Let's split it."

"Cut me extra pork belly."

Those who could enter temples were either Wolf Smoke Expert or industry leaders, people of high standing, and were not particularly interested in offerings.

But Distributing Blessings is not flesh, but face.

The servants in the temple cut and divided the meat, and later went to the temple gate to distribute the scraps to the people.

Liu Shiqin looked around.

The crowd in front of the temple was immense, numbering over ten thousand, and the amount of meat was far from enough to go around.

"Old Temple Keeper, everyone who comes gets a share. It's not fair to give too little. Kill a few more, so that everyone can have a few pieces. Then we can go to the Prefectural Office to collect our money."

"Lord Liu is kind and benevolent."

After the offerings were distributed, a freshly slaughtered pig was brought over.

Outside the temple, a bustling scene unfolded.

The heads of the various families, bored with the wait, took their leave.

Zhang Wenbao approached Liang Qu: "The Snake Bone Pill was refined this morning, and I will send someone to deliver it later."

"Thank you for your help, Brother Zhang."

"Lord Liang vanquished the demon for Fragrant Town. We were too weak to help, but we should do our best to assist him afterward."

"If you need anything in the future, Brother Zhang, you can come to Pingyang Prefecture to find me."

Zhang Wenbao was overjoyed and repeatedly said "good" to Zhang Wenbao.

When Liang Qu visited that day, the Zhang Clan naturally gathered more information afterward, and while they weren't exactly at their peak, they were close to it.

In the entire Huaiyin Prefecture, there is no one among the younger generation who is more outstanding. If he doesn't die young, he will achieve great things! As soon as Zhang Wenbao left, Li Xiaoheng immediately followed suit.

Liang Qu understood the other party's meaning and left behind a semi-promise-like statement.

Both families provided significant assistance in slaying the snake.

Investments should yield returns.

The biggest advantage of showcasing your talent is that it allows you to "raise funds".

With good talent, a good personality, and not impulsive, they have a low chance of failing in the future and can always find angel investors.

afternoon.

In the small courtyard shaded by trees.

Liang Qu received more than ten bottles of Snake Bone Pill refined by the Zhang Clan, plus some water-attribute Treasure Plant. The latter half was clearly a return gift for the promise made at noon.

There's still a small portion of the food that was given out after the snake-slaying ceremony that we haven't finished eating.

The initial cost was 56,000, followed by 5,000 from the two Mermaid Tear collected, around 15,000 from the Fist, 16,000 from the snake gall, and 6,000 from the Treasure Plant consumed.

Sixty-eight thousand units in stock, plus about six thousand uneaten Treasure Plant! I've never had so much Marsh Essence before, I don't know what to do with it! It's a pity, I'm afraid I'll never find such a good opportunity again.

"It's time to go back."

Liang Qu stroked the Silver Note in his pocket, feeling incredibly at ease.

After packing his things, Fubo on his back, rode away from the back gate of the courtyard, and returned to the vicinity of the abandoned mine.

With his pregnant belly sticking out, Awei swayed and landed on my shoulder.

"Cannot Move," the Mirage Worm gently sniffed the fragrance of the flowers.

The Fat Catfish, with its protruding belly and weary face, was filled with apprehension. Could it be the catfish that could eat, or the Round Head that could catch it?

Round Head led his men back to the shore, where they lined up in a row.

May has arrived.

Whether it can evolve or not, we'll find out today!

"No rush, I'll give you a little more time."

Liang Qu waved his hand.

Before leaving, he wanted the Li Family to come and share the Bloodstone Mine, and also to hand over a considerable amount to the imperial court.

Hearing the sound, many Water Beast dived back into the water.

When Liang Qu arrived at the Mine Cave, there was a small mountain of Medium Grade Bloodstone Mine, which was flashing red at the entrance. There were at least a hundred cubic meters of it!

Incredibly valuable! Even a scattered Martial Master couldn't dig up that much "Broken Silver" in a year! Yet Fist accomplished it in just half a month! The return on investment of 15,000 units of essence is extremely high! Summoned.

Fist, which had been mining, excitedly crawled out of the Mine Cave. Before it could even emerge, a red light burst forth from the cave first.

Liang Qu squinted, sensing a familiar aura from the red light.

When the Fist emerged from the Mine Cave and raised its pincers high, Liang Qu could see clearly that a dark red Blood Gemstone was clamped between its giant pincers, like a grain of rice being held with chopsticks.

Sunlight shines through the blood-red gemstone, creating layers of red light.

Liang Qu couldn't help but clench his left hand.

That Blood Gemstone possessed the same aura as the Bloodstone Arm Guard! Top Grade Bloodstone?
