582 Sit firmly on the Thorn Sky Tower, and share the spoils of the Fengyue Tower
The red-haired baboon beast tide is expected to bring more than 300,000 taels of blood spirit stones. In the human world, this is equivalent to a huge sum of three million Xuanyin Pills, 300 million Pure Yang Pills, and 600 million taels of silver, which is about the income of the Jade Palace for twenty years.
However, the beast tide in the Sleeping Evil Mountain only occurs once in five or six years, and the average is divided by five every year, so that the income of the four Jade Palaces is only equal to each year. Compared to Mu Nobu, who used to be called the Emperor Demon Realm and had a full seven Jindan Great Demons, this is far from enough.
The Jade Palace is just a subordinate sect of the Five Elements Sect, and before Lian Ling achieved the Golden Pill, not only were there no Jindan monks, but even the Purple Mansion monks were only three people. The Muye Department has been in turmoil repeatedly, and now there are still four Jindan in charge, as well as Jindan Sanhua Monk, and the strength can be said to be more than five or six times that of the Jade Palace.
The more powerful monks there are, the more resources they need to consume. Whether it is the human world or the demon world, whether it is a blood spirit stone or an elixir, it is the same.
The blood spirit stone of the Cang Straw people was baked, and there were about four or five thousand taels. But the red-haired baboons used up were at least 5,000 heads, and 50,000 catties of flesh and blood. That is, a thousand taels of flesh and blood, which can be condensed into a tael of blood spirit stone essence.
There are so many blood spirit stones every time they come out, and naturally there will be many people who covet them. Therefore, the bronze tripod is heavily guarded around it. There are three groups of people monitoring the whole process at all times.
One group is the elder of the Blood Refining Tribe with the supervision of the barbarian cultivation, one group is the overseer and steward of Kapok City, and the other group is the tree man sent by the Sleeping Evil Mountain Nian. Any furnace of blood spirit stones is baked, and three groups of people count them, sign and draw them, and deliver them on the spot.
Half of the blood-producing spirit stones will be left as blood refining expenses, which will be extracted by the people of the Cang Straw tribe on the spot. Another half is owned by the city lord of Kapok City. Eighty percent of them were immediately transported by the blood refining envoy on the spot, and went straight to the teleportation array of Kapok City, directly piled up on the teleportation array and guarded it strictly, ready to teleport to the Sleeping Evil Mountain at any time.
Of course, this is only a rule on the surface. It is rumored that whether it is the blood refining elder of the tree clan, the city lord of Kapok City, or even the patriarch and blood refiner of the blood refining tribe, or the formation master on the protective tower, these relevant insiders have oil and water to fish, as for how they divide up the outside world, it is impossible to guess.
The sun had just set, and the sky was dark. The Thorn of the Sky Tower pierced into the dim sky like an old twig, and a few blood-smelling crows croaked and flew through the air.
The performance of the whole day hook is excellent. In fact, he was here for ten days in a row. Any leak in the Great Array Spiritual Machine, he can quickly repair it. Whether it was Ji Yan or the people here, they were a little dumbfounded by him, and they no longer had any contempt for him.
Originally brought Gou Zhu here, the supervising deacon surnamed Lei who was in charge of the Piercing Sky Tower even repeatedly said that he would ask the city lord to give him an additional reward in addition to the originally agreed reward.
Red baboons are very sun-loving creatures. At night, they tend to be more dormant due to decreased eyesight. Only a few hungry baboons will storm at night, but at best they will be harassed by small groups, and there will be very few large-scale attacks.
The formations will be on duty in turns, and they will not evacuate after dark. As for the formation master Ji Yan himself, until the end of the beast tide, he will eat and drink Lazar will stay here.
This year's animal tide is significantly stronger than in previous years. If it were a previous year, the beast tide would have ended in about ten days. But now the beast tide seems to be in the ascendant. It's better though. The longer the beast tide lasts, the more blood spirit stones he refines, and the more blood spirit stones he eventually distributes. He can directly divide a large amount of oil and water, which is different from only getting a fixed amount of remuneration like Gou.
There is only one person who can really leave freely as soon as it gets dark, and that is Gou. After making up a formation pattern, Gou Zhu cleaned up his things slightly, and then smiled and bowed to Master Ji and Deacon Lei, meaning that I am going to withdraw my junior brother.
Deacon Lei's name is Lei Yan, he looks like he is about forty or fifty years old, short in stature, his appearance is not good, his eyes are squinted, and he is usually not very eye-catching in the Sky Piercing Tower. But he is a close confidant of Kapok, his strength is quite strong, he is in the realm of five colors, and he is also rough in the formation, and he is actually Ji Yan's bodyguard, supervisor and substitute.
There is a formation protection in the Thorn Sky Tower, and no one will be able to beat Ji Yan. But this rule is an exception for Deacon Ray. Like Ji Yan, he also holds the Formation Pivot. If something happens to Ji Yan, he can also immediately command the Thorn Sky Tower to defend. He's just not good at maintaining and repairing this array tower.
Seeing that Gou Zhu was leaving, Deacon Lei's squinted eyes suddenly bent, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Mu don't be in a hurry to go back tonight, there is a good thing." ”
Gou Zhu did not use his real name and surname, but called himself Mu Yuan, and lied that he was a descendant of the Mu family in Caini City, and the formation he practiced in the family. Therefore, Lei Yan will call him "Little Brother Mu".
After speaking, Lei Yan whispered to Ji Yan: "The practice of the Blood Refining Elder and the City Lord is here, and we will have a banquet in Fengyue Tower tonight to reward us for our hard work for more than ten days." ”
Ji Yan's old face wrinkled, he was happy at first, but then when he saw the hook next to him, a complicated look flashed in the dim old man's eyes.
He was glad that this year's "routine" came so early, and the beast tide had not yet ended, and it actually came. But it's not surprising. In ten days, they have already had enough income, and if they don't divide it, some people will not be able to sit still. What he was unhappy about was that this "little brother Mu" had only been here for more than ten days, and he actually had a share of this kind of thing? This made him extremely unhappy, so he just hummed coldly.
"Feast me?"
Gou Zhu was quite surprised. It stands to reason that although his performance in the past ten days or so has been quite good, and he has successfully defended the Sky Piercing Tower, this credit should be far from receiving the attention of the blood refining elders and city lords of the tree clan.
It makes sense that they want to feast Ji Yan and Lei Yan, how can they pull him up? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, but there was a warning sign in his heart. Lei Yan hooked up with his shoulder very intimately and said:
"Brother Mu, you don't know something. Every year in the beast tide, this meal is indispensable, and there is plenty of oil and water. Little brother, your contributions in the past ten days are obvious to everyone, and you don't regret this good opportunity. ”
After Lei Yan finished speaking, he blinked mysteriously a few times in his already squinted eyes.
Gou Zhu seems to have realized something. This beast tide has lasted for more than ten days, and tens of thousands of taels of blood spirit stones have been refined almost every day. With such a large amount of blood spirit stones, it is impossible for these people not to leave some cattiness. As for such a partition, it may be distributed at such a banquet.
As for why he was called, it was very likely that his magical ability to repair the formation with his eye array had attracted the attention of the Kapok City Lord and even the Tree Clan. Let him eat some sweetness first, and then try to envelop him later, to see if he can stay in Kapok City and become a fixed formation master like Ji Yan?
Originally, in addition to Ji Yan, the formation master of the Heavenly Piercing Tower also had a deputy, that is, the Mu Yue who was killed by him. Such a key existence as the Piercing Heaven Tower is completely in the hands of Ji Yan alone, even if there is a deacon Lei Yan supervising, the City Lord's Mansion cannot be completely assured.
One master, one vice, and one governor, each of these three reports to the city lord, and mutual checks and balances are the perfect structure. When encountering a talent like him, the City Lord's Mansion naturally tried to stay.
Do you want to go or not? Gou Zhu's mind quickly turned.
If you go, there is indeed a certain danger. His identity is unknown, and if the City Lord's Mansion will inevitably investigate in detail. However, they were sure that not only could they not find anything, but they also did not dare to investigate further.
Although he and Mu Fei and the others killed those demon cultivators in Kapok City, he really didn't leave any traces, and everything was cleaned up. And they will soon find out Mu Fei, a real tree man. As long as Mu Fei told the truth that he was Mu Luo's subordinate, they would never dare to investigate further.
What if he didn't go? Now that the beast tide is coming to an end, he refuses to go to the meeting, not only will he not be able to get this benefit, but I am afraid that the City Lord's Mansion may find an excuse to terminate the contract with him, and he will not be able to get the 1,000 taels of blood spirit stones afterwards.
Moreover, the blood spirit stone in hand refused by itself, which made people even more suspicious. Only those who stay here for another purpose are likely to refuse such a large benefit. He thought about it, and felt that it was safer to go than not to go.
In fact, he stayed in Kapok City, and there was nothing else to do except cultivate the Xuanming True Qi every day. Because the only thing he actually needs is to wait obediently for Lian Ling and Huang Lu to come here to meet. If there is an identity of a formation master as a cover, you can learn the formation, and you can also collect a large amount of blood spirit stones, there is no harm.
So Gou Zhu smiled obediently and said to Lei Yan: "Thank you Brother Lei for taking care of the little brother!"
