Chapter 2719 - 2718: Taking Advantage Together

Chapter 2719: Chapter 2718: Taking Advantage Together

Wuu De and Xiao Ren were well-prepared and had set up a formation barrier around them.

The crowd rushed forward, only to be repelled by the formation barrier, with some even ending up with nosebleeds.

The crowd seemed like wolves encircling them, pointing and shouting insults, "Come out if you have the guts!"

"What’s the point of hiding inside, coward!"

"And you call yourselves disciples of a righteous sect?"

"It’s shameful that you’re even the disciples of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun!"

"..."

The crowd cursed fiercely, but the two remained unmoved, calmly saying to everyone, "Either you’re destined to struggle at the bottom, or we’re risking our lives to share such important secrets because we want to get rich together. Who would have thought you’d treat us like this?"

"I’m telling you, go early and get rich, go late and get nothing. It’s not just us who know the news; Peacock City and other major sects know about it too. Soon, this place will be locked down, and you won’t even get scraps from the leftovers."

Xiao Ren cursed frustratingly.

Someone retorted, "Sure, if it’s true, why haven’t you already gone to cash in, instead of selling maps here?"

Wuu De pointed at the person and said, "Good question. Why haven’t we gone? To put it nicely, we are looking out for the entire Cultivation World, serving the greater good, higher morals, profound virtue, and grand benevolence. Not so nicely, places accompanied by luck are naturally full of hazards. As the saying goes, strength in numbers. Bringing you all along can share the dangers!"

The crowd sneered, "Finally showing your true colors? You want everyone to be cannon fodder!"

"Too sinister!"

"And you have the face to call yourself grand benevolent, your reputations in the Immortal Realm stunk long ago!"

"..."

No matter what these two said, everyone consistently confronted them.

The two finally exclaimed helplessly, "Fine, fine, you don’t go! We’ll go, and by the time we get rich, don’t be envious."

Wuu De collected the gold from the stall, intentionally signaling to everyone, "Look at this gold melon, dug up from the peripheral regions. Imagine if we went deeper; wouldn’t we dig up a mountain of gold?"

"Let’s go, let’s go, these clueless people will never seize opportunities. Don’t you know wealth is sought amid danger, what’s the point of talking to such timid folks?"

Xiao Ren intentionally provoked everyone.

Despite complaining, the cultivators couldn’t help but be drawn to the genuine gold gemstones.

At this moment, someone ran over from afar, shouting to everyone, "I just saw ten thousand demon soldiers from Peacock City heading east; something big must be happening."

"What?"

"Is this real?"

"Could it really be about the gold mine?"

"..."

Everyone started to waver.

Wuu De shouted from above, "No need to guess, it’s definitely about the gold mine. The gold mine is at Magnetic Yuan Mountain to the east, rumored to be where Daoist Zhunti gathered his Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. If you’re even a bit later, you might not even find scraps."

The crowd immediately started discussing, exclaiming, "It’s Magnetic Yuan Mountain."

"That place is one of the ten forbidden areas in the Immortal Realm!"

"The magnetic force here is so strong that ordinary magical treasures can’t be used. If you go, you can only use wooden magical weapons."

"Extreme wealth is sought amid danger; there’s no luck without risk!"

Someone immediately shouted, "Come, give me a map!"

"Me too!"

"Give me one too!"

"..."

Everyone, eager to snag a deal, started buying maps from the two.

In a short time, the two had made tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

As they packed up to leave.

Long Fei approached with a smile and asked them, "Do you have more maps?"

Wuu De and Xiao Ren turned and saw Long Fei arriving, and they immediately bowed excitedly, "Elder brother, why are you here?"

"What else, surely a summoning from the Peacock Bright King!"

Xiao Ren guessed the reason.

Long Fei said, "Indeed, attending a happy feast."

Wuu De and Xiao Ren laughed, "Only someone of Elder brother’s status would be invited. We brothers would not have the qualification to enter."

Long Fei chuckled, "Whether it’s a joyous feast or a trap feast is uncertain. If you wish to enter, you’re welcome to accompany me."

"No thanks, we have important business to attend to!"

"Elder brother can go alone; we’ll be here to support. If you need anything, just call!"

The two waved continuously, knowing Long Fei’s endeavor was certainly not simple.

They had a deep understanding of the Cultivation World matters and knew this Ancient Demon Clan and Long Fei, the Eastern Emperor, were natural adversaries.

Following Long Fei inside, who knows what they might encounter.

Lin Shanshan mocked from the side, "Calling him Elder brother this and Elder brother that, I thought you’d have so much loyalty! Turns out you’re just cowards!"

Wuu De and Xiao Ren didn’t mind at all, "Young lady, this has nothing to do with loyalty. Our bond with Elder brother is the bond of gentlemen, not involving mundane loyalty!"

"Indeed, indeed, we are always connected at heart with Elder brother, continuously praying for him from behind."

The two put away the table and hurried to bid farewell to Long Fei, scared he would call them back.

Lin Shanshan cursed from behind, "What kind of folks are these, fit to be sworn brothers with my brother-in-law?"

She glared at Long Fei, hinting he must be blind.

The two hadn’t gone far before turning back.

Lin Shanshan thought perhaps she had misunderstood them, only to see Wuu De handing a map to Long Fei, "Elder brother, this is Magnetic Yuan Mountain’s map, with marked locations of underground gold areas. No charge for this one; follow the map guidance if you decide to go."

The two grinned, quickly leaving.

Lin Shanshan pursed her lips, thoroughly impressed.

Long Fei accepted the map with a smile, handing it to the five Little Kylins saying, "You have nothing to do; go investigate. I won’t go, but you shouldn’t act rashly, just observe from the shadows."

"Got it!"

The five Little Kylins nodded, took the map, and immediately departed.

Only Long Fei, Lin Shanshan, and Princess Iron Fan remained on site.

Lin Shanshan curiously asked Princess Iron Fan, "Sister-in-law of the Ox family, have you heard of Magnetic Yuan Mountain?"

Princess Iron Fan replied, "Of course, it’s the most famous place in the Western Cow Hee Continent. It’s said Daoist Zhunti refined the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree here, hence its nickname, Seven Treasure Mountain. This mountain is rich with various minerals; that old man’s gemstone and jade are from its runoff."

Lin Shanshan frowned, "Didn’t that old man say it was Kunlun Jade?"

Princess Iron Fan replied, "Yes, he did say that. This mountain is part of the Kunlun Mountain Range, but separated by 10,800 kilometers from the Kunlun Sacred Ancestral Court."

Lin Shanshan nodded, excitedly said to Long Fei, "We must go have a look, might find many treasures!"

"Let’s rescue Brother Ox first!"

Long Fei smiled and nodded, then took the invitation card and headed into the city without further dawdling.
