Chapter 1637: Chapter 1637: Arctic Black Tortoise Palace
In the dead of night, the dragon whale mysteriously pulled Long Fei to a secluded spot.
This flabby belly, like a lecherous uncle luring in a minor, rubbed its palms together and giggled foolishly, “Master, there’s some news I must tell you, you’ll definitely be interested.”
Long Fei shivered, disgustedly saying, “Are you trying to offer yourself to me? I’m not interested.”
The dragon whale widened its eyes and said, “How could it be possible, Master, how could you think that way? Although you are quite handsome, I’m not interested in men! But if you really insist, I might reluctantly agree.”
It turned its head with an unwilling look and started to unbutton its clothes.
Long Fei kicked him from behind, laughing and cursing, “Get lost, just say what you have to say, what’s the matter?”
The dragon whale rubbed its hands with a serious expression and said, “Master, what I’m about to say is true. Recently, a golden palace ruin was discovered under the ice of the Arctic. The palace is quite large, with many divine materials shimmering inside. It’s said that this was once the Northern Black Tortoise Palace, the palace of the Black Tortoise Demon King from the Ancient Era. Inside, there’s a divine tree whose fruits are as good as the Peach Fruits.”
Long Fei curiously asked, “Such a good place and it’s still around now?”
The dragon whale said, “Master doesn’t know, but palaces like these often have very strong restrictions surrounding them. Penglai Island joined forces with our East Sea islands to try their luck. But because of the enlightenment at the undersea mansion, this matter got delayed.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Long Fei nodded, showing no change in expression.
The dragon whale thought he wasn’t interested, and disappointedly said, “Master, do you have any ideas?” For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
Long Fei patted his shoulder and smiled, “Let’s talk about it later!”
As a leader, one must not easily reveal their thoughts, otherwise, it’s easy for others to lead them by the nose.
Not showing emotions is the mindset a superior must have.
It’s not that Long Fei wasn’t interested; he had a Black Tortoise Egg in his storage ring that, due to lack of opportunity, hadn’t hatched yet.
If there really was a Black Tortoise Palace under the Arctic ice, it might be an opportunity for Little Xuanwu.
The night passed peacefully, and the next day, like the rest of the world, Jade Island gathered spies from various sects specializing in gathering news secretly, as well as loose cultivators who loved gossip, to hold a press conference on Jade Island’s beach.
The gathering method was simple: either have disciples capture them or tell the loose cultivators that there were pills to be given away on Jade Island.
By noon, over a hundred people had gathered here.
The floor of jade-covered sand was lined with rows of sandalwood chairs, and a high platform was set up in the front, with a background wall draped in white cloth.
The wall had “Peace” written in large letters.
At noon, the place gathered over a thousand people.
Apart from the hundred sect spies, the rest were all loose cultivators coming for the pills.
Long Fei, dressed in a grey Divine Silkworm robe, stood on the high platform and, with a serious expression, addressed the group of cultivators below, “Everyone, I’ve invited you here today to hold a brief press conference. The content is written on the background wall behind us, yes, that’s right, it’s ‘Peace!’ As you all know, our Jade Island has always cherished peace.”
As he spoke to this point, there was a buzz from the seating area.
A group of people shouted disgruntledly, feeling utterly wronged.
They muttered, these bandit pirates have the audacity to claim they love peace, their face must be as thick as the ocean.
Where are the peace-loving people, who came here and wiped out the surrounding Three Sects and Five Gates, and even beat down the East Sea Three Immortal Islands, and South Sea cultivators.
The dragon whale admired from the side, thinking the Island Master sure is the Island Master, in terms of face thickness, indeed stronger than itself.
In this aspect, it conceded defeat too.
It looked at Long Fei’s handsome face, the more it looked, the more endearing it felt.
Long Fei cleared his throat, surveying the crowd calmly, “It seems everyone really believes in this Sect Master’s statement, indeed, our Jade Island has always adhered to this principle, establishing the island with peace at its foundation.
Therefore, this Sect Master decided to hold this press conference today to spread this concept to everyone, to all the sects of the East Sea. May the dawn of peace forever cloak our Ocean Clan loose cultivators, may this world have no slaughter, no violence, no tyranny.
As you all know, yesterday there were about seven to eight thousand disciples from various sects stranded on our Jade Island. Respecting the peace principle, we provided these cultivators with excellent treatment, maintaining their basic living conditions.
If the sects still have some camaraderie, this seat hopes you will come to retrieve these disciples.
Of course, our Jade Island is resource-poor, and we do need some care fees. This seat will not be unreasonable, the care fee is at the lowest standard: one disciple requires merely one hundred thousand spirit stones to be taken away.
The deadline is one week, exceeding this period, we will, out of humanitarianism, find a good placement for these stranded disciples.
We have a good cooperation relationship with the Demon Capital City of the Southern Barbarian State, they are in need of some gentle and fair cultivators as hotel servants. Those at the Core Formation Stage and above will be priced at one hundred thousand spirit stones.
Because we love peace, we are giving the sects a chance, hoping everyone will enthusiastically come and redeem all of your disciples…”
Before he finished speaking, a group of sect spies below couldn’t hold back and covered their ears to leave by flying sword.
That’s the only word in their minds, it’s truly nauseating to the extreme.
They acted like bandits, yet they put on a show like saints!
Due to Long Fei’s peace advocacy, the sects actively responded.
The disciples captured this time were all elite disciples at the Nascent Soul Realm from various sects. On one hand, they were reluctant to see these disciples harmed, fearing it would damage the hearts of the island disciples.
On the other, they didn’t want them to be abused by Long Fei; if these disciples really got sold to the Demon Capital City, it would be a huge embarrassment for them.
Just imagine, if someone entering a restaurant shouted loudly, “Get me a pretty boy from Penglai Island.”
The picture is too beautiful, it’s really unimaginable.
Within a week, the sects sent envoys with spirit stones to redeem all their disciples from captivity.
Over seven thousand disciples in total amounted to a gain of 700 million spirit stones.
The size of the spirit stones was the standard egg-sized spirit stones of the Cultivation World, each about the size of a small fist.
A group of Jade Island disciples regretted immensely, thinking if they had known earlier, they would have killed less and captured more alive then.
The pile of white spirit stones, when stacked together was the size of a small hill.
Yin Yang Sect always exchanged cultivation resources based on points, and all disciples put in work this time and received a fair amount of spirit stones each.
Clear Spring Island’s Elder Wang Shun and his daughter’s group contributed significantly this time, and according to their due rewards, all received a nice sum of spirit stones.
The dragon whale unexpectedly got a million spirit stones, and became even more loyal to Long Fei and Lin Yingying.
One must know, demon clan cultivation is quite difficult, nowhere near as abundant as Human Race cultivation resources.
Typically encountering a ginseng, a group of demons would have a fierce battle lasting half the day.
