Chapter 1842 - 1841: The Colorful Battle Flag!

Right at this moment.

The general store owner suddenly ran out after them and called out to Qin Feng and the others, "Honored guests, please wait!"

Ding Lan and Shuang’er, seeing this, each grabbed one of Qin Feng’s arms and were about to hurry off with him, afraid the boss would scam him again.

But Qin Feng still stopped in his tracks.

"What is it?"

Qin Feng asked.

The shop owner smiled and said, "Honored guest, you bought up all the stuff in my shop that I couldn’t get rid of, and I’ve already transferred the rest to other shops to take over. I can finally leave this place. As thanks, I’ll give you a gift."

As he spoke, he took out a colorful military banner with various patterns and handed it to Qin Feng.

"I picked this up in Sky Termination City back in the day. They say it was used by a Great General. It was originally in tatters, but I could tell it was anything but simple, so I spent a long time restoring it. It can transform into five different colors, and each one has great uses. I’m heading back to my hometown and won’t be using this banner anymore, so I’ll gift it to you, honored guest."

The boss said.

Qin Feng was secretly surprised.

He knew that in games there were Hidden Tasks, hidden rewards and the like, but he hadn’t expected that in the Main City Illusion, just buying out someone’s stock would also get you a reward?

"Many thanks. Then this colored banner..."

He wanted to ask the shop owner what exactly this banner did.

But before he could finish, the owner had already turned around and left.

Qin Feng tried calling out to him a few times, but the man just hummed a cheerful little tune to himself and went back to the general store to pack up...

Qin Feng had no choice but to put the colored banner away for now.

Over the next few days, just as he’d said, the general store owner left the small town. The town went on as usual, as if there had never been a general store there at all.

This made Qin Feng certain that the things he’d bought were precisely those so-called "rare materials."

On the other side.

Green Corpse and Kuang Long each led their own people, chasing and racing one another, enthusiastically competing over who could collect more Poison Needles.

When they counted each side’s results every day, the two of them looked extremely excited.

This only ended up benefiting Qin Feng.

Without lifting a finger, Qin Feng’s net daily income in Spirit Stones had already reached one hundred and fifty million!

At this pace, not only were Ding Lan and Shuang’er excited, even Green Corpse, Kuang Long and the others were overjoyed. They all knew very well that in this place, Spirit Stones were the first priority if you wanted to move forward. This way, they could help Qin Feng become king faster, and they themselves could achieve their dreams sooner!

Time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, a week had gone by.

Night.

Qin Feng even gave everyone the night off and treated them to drinks at the tavern.

"The Taiji Spaceship will arrive tomorrow. In such a short time, we managed to earn eight hundred million Spirit Stones. I’m truly grateful to all of you!" Qin Feng raised his cup to everyone. "This cup, I drink to you all!!"

With that, he drained it in one go.

People saw this and hurriedly stood up as well.

"Lord Qin, it should be us toasting you. Without your methods, we could never have earned this fast!"

"Yeah, otherwise we’d still be muddling along here. Making ten or twenty million Spirit Stones a week would already be a lot, and our goal would be out of reach for who knows how long. So we should be the ones to toast you!"

"We offer you this cup!!"

"..."

Everyone rushed to toast Qin Feng.

Jiu Jie lifted his cup, excitedly saying to the crowd, "My Brother Feng still has to take the Taiji Spaceship tomorrow morning. I’ll drink with you all on his behalf, come, come on..."

Qin Feng was speechless.

This guy only knew how to drink. Which part of him looked like the future abbot of Yun Kong Temple?

After a few rounds of drinks, Qin Feng motioned for everyone to quiet down and said, "Next, it’s also time for you to make your choice. If nothing unexpected happens, Ling will come over tomorrow, right?"

"..."

At his words, the room fell silent.

They’d been so busy attracting monsters for money that they’d almost forgotten: every time the Taiji Spaceship arrived, Young Master Ling would come on the ship to collect the money.

Because this was the only route connecting to the Heavenly Termination Domain.

"Don’t worry!"

Green Corpse was the first to speak up, saying, "Lord Qin, since we said we’d follow you, we’ll definitely follow you! Young Master Ling treats us like slaves. You’re different—you genuinely treat us as your own people! Just for that alone, we’d choose you!"

Kuang Long said, "Yeah! Honestly, Young Master Ling is a real piece of work! He’s always bossing us around like servants and cursing us out at the drop of a hat, like the whole world owes him money or something!"

The others all started voicing their anger as well.

"We’ve had enough of him for a long time!"

"If it wasn’t that we couldn’t beat him... uh, if it wasn’t that he has Dragon Heart, we’d have gone against him ages ago!"

"..."

Hearing this, Qin Feng was very satisfied and said, "Good. Then from here on, we’re in the same boat. Let’s fight together for our dreams!"

"Fight!!"

Everyone raised their cups again.

The next day.

A ray of morning sunlight spilled over the land.

Qin Feng woke up early, planning to head toward the place where the Taiji Spaceship would land.

As soon as he stepped out, he heard arguing coming from the lobby on the first floor.

Turned out the Taiji Spaceship had already arrived.

The Sect Leader of the Three Corpses Sect, Wan Shi, had taken the Taiji Spaceship and returned from the Heavenly Termination Domain to Ti Yun Peak.

Normally, it would be Young Master Ling coming back here to collect the money, then heading from here to Taichu Immortal City to check on the latest situation in the Immortal City, and then using a "marker" to return here and take the Taiji Spaceship back to the Heavenly Termination Domain.

But this time, things were different. Young Master Ling hadn’t come back; instead, the one who returned was the Sect Leader of the Three Corpses Sect, Wan Shi.

In Sky Termination City within the Heavenly Termination Domain, there were four main gates.

As long as you could hold a gate and guard the Heavenly Termination Crystal Stone, you could obtain the Taichu Immortal King’s relic.

Currently, in Sky Termination City, Young Master Ling was guarding the west gate, while the north gate was jointly guarded by the Sect Leaders of the Three Corpses Sect, Ghost Buddha Sect, Turtle Breath Sect, and Dragon Abyss Sect. This was also the condition for their four Sects to follow Ling—they wanted a share of the pie, because rumor had it that the Taichu Immortal King’s relics would be distributed based on performance.

However, the four of them were still on the same front as Ling and still took Ling’s orders.

"This is utter nonsense!!"

The Sect Leader of the Three Corpses Sect, after hearing about all the things Qin Feng had done here, was furious and said, "You clearly know that Qin Feng has a conflict with Young Master Ling, yet you still side with him and betray Young Master Ling. This is utter nonsense!"

"But..."

Green Corpse had grievances he couldn’t voice.

He wanted to say they couldn’t beat Qin Feng at all, but that felt too shameful.

"But Lord Qin really is stronger than Young Master Ling. Following Lord Qin, it’s easier to surpass Young Master Ling and achieve our dreams..." Green Corpse said.

"Nonsense!!"

Master Wan Shi roared, "This is betrayal!!"

Kuang Long came over at this moment and said, "Master Wan, calling it betrayal is a bit much. If following Young Master Ling isn’t betrayal, then why is following him?"

"Besides, following Ling was something we were forced into."

The Vice Sect Leaders of Wanfo Sect and Turtle Breath Sect also came over and chimed in.

"You, you all..."

Wan Shi’s face flushed red with anger. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll go back and report this to your Sect Leaders?"
