Chapter 17: The Glass Cup of Pits

  Thank you for the reward from fellow book lover Jiuyao...

  Liu Yi smiled slightly and said, "This cup is extremely rare, two of them have already been given to the City God of Hui Ling City, so I'll give one to Governor Yun as a token of gratitude for his kindness."

  This is a historical record that the story was written in a very elegant and beautiful way, the princess's tears turned into this cup. It has been preserved with 1/120,000 of precious care.

  This cup was originally extremely rare, and with such a story to complement it, it becomes even more precious.

  But he didn't expect that Liu Yi was quite familiar with the marketing tactics of later generations. An ordinary thing, paired with such a beautiful story, can increase its value by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

  This story was naturally fabricated by Liu Yi. Moreover, he didn't expect that he had unintentionally set a trap for the City God.

  "Hmph, such an extraordinary crystal cup, there are only four in the world. If you don't believe me, then no noble or wealthy person will be moved."

  When the time comes, if there really is a big shot who wants to get this cup and forces the City God to hand it over, I'd like to see what he uses to exchange for it!

  Smiling coldly, the fact that he had given a crystal cup to Cheng Huang himself was something that couldn't be hidden from others. However, whether it was one or two, no one knew...

  A commoner is innocent, but one who possesses a precious jade is guilty! This divine being has obtained a rare treasure, but I wonder if it will be like this? Thinking about it, Liu Yi couldn't wait with bated breath!

  However, this high-footed glass would no longer be readily available in the future.

  But what's the difference? There are hundreds of thousands of products in the supermarket, and this high-footed cup can't be used anymore. Of course, there are many other alternative products.

  Thinking about it, Liu Yi couldn't help but want to throw his head back and laugh out loud three times.

  Eating from others' mouths makes one's words short; taking from others' hands makes one's actions soft. That thief, having obtained such a rare treasure of the world, upon seeing Liu Yi's divine image, became much more benevolent in his gaze.

  Think about it, walked out a few steps, and stopped again, saying to the accompanying Huiling County Magistrate: "This mountain is the land of the earth god Jun Tangmu, and it's not good for idle people to come and go. I think the county magistrate should also make some statement!"

  The county magistrate, seeing the governor put the rare treasure into his bag, was already extremely envious. Upon hearing this, he repeatedly said: "This official will immediately let the stone carver engrave a stone and set up a stele to prohibit unrelated idle people from randomly climbing Mount Fenglai to disturb the god!"

  As soon as the words fell, the spiritual energy of the entire Fenglai Mountain range responded. Originally, Liu Yi had tried his best to gather it, and this mountain only had about one-twelfth of its spiritual energy absorbed into the symbol's circulation.

  At this moment, the mountain range's spiritual energy was like a surging river, and in an instant, it rushed over. At least ten to twelve of them fell into Liu Yi's summoning symbol.

  This was a tenfold increase, and the entire spiritual pool vibrated with it. The divine power that had been refined by the talisman fell down like rain, pouring into the spiritual pool and causing its energy to surge.

  "The power of humanity is indeed formidable. Just one sentence, and the control over Feng Lai Shan has increased tenfold! Truly astonishing and intimidating!"

  It reminded me of a very difficult movie I watched in my original world. I've already forgotten what it was called, but I vaguely remember that it might have been an R-rated film with some plot holes.

  The story roughly goes that the cultivator Chen Tuan assisted Zhao Kuangyi in ascending to the throne as emperor. After the matter was settled, Zhao Kuangyi, as the emperor, conferred Mount Hua upon Chen Tuan, helping him become an immortal.

  Among them are mixed with Small Week Later, Candle Shadow Shake Red and so on. In short, whether it's the ending or the story in between, they're all full of intrigue and quite dark.

  But Liu Yi was puzzled when he saw it. The immortal is carefree, why does he need the emperor to grant him a title?

  Now I'm feeling sentimental, if the imperial court really gave me that famous mountain and great river, one of the Five Great Mountains, Huashan, at least I would have to leap into becoming a top god with emerald green divine power like Cuishang Yutian, or possibly even a top god with deep blue divine power like Qingxiao Youyun.

  Unfortunately, even Chen Gong, the cultivator in the story, had to make great contributions like assisting the emperor in ascending to the dragon throne in order to be granted a title. In the end, he was secretly plotted against by Zhao Guangyi and suffered from the backlash of the dragon's energy, ultimately failing to succeed.

  Although it's just a story, one can imagine how difficult this kind of thing must be!

  Even now, although it is not the imperial court's formal decree, the entire Fenglai Mountain has been designated as his own fiefdom. However, the governor and local county magistrate agreed, and the entire Fenglai Mountain still has a spiritual connection. He allocated one-tenth of the land's energy to himself.

  If it were an official imperial seal, then it would be unstoppable. The entire Fenglai Mountain's spiritual energy would have seven or eight tenths in one's own hands.

  A high-heeled cup can be exchanged for such a harvest, but it's worth it no matter how you look at it!

  With a true sense of joy in his heart, he saw that the five-section staff was held high, and he turned his head to glance at Liu Yi, allowing Liu Yi to give rise to an extremely great crisis once again.

  It seems that this thorny history, although holding onto the hope of a thousand catties per mu, has no great malice towards itself, but this Qingyang Dao, seems to be different!

  "Your Excellency." Shi Huai returned to report: "The governor and others have left in their carriages, but those seven Buddhist monks on the mountain are still there!"

  No need to report, Liu Yi had already seen everything clearly from the Ling Xiao Bao Jing. Through the bird's divided eyes, looking out, although it couldn't be like a hawk monitoring the entire situation. But it was enough to see that these Taoist priests were not harboring good intentions, and seemed to be setting up something on this mountain.

  From the Ling Xiao treasure mirror, it can be seen that these people are digging something on the ground. Liu Yi's heart skipped a beat, the places where these people were standing were all nodes of Fenglai Mountain's earth energy. Were they preparing to set up a large array?

  Thinking, Liu Yi waved his hand and gave orders to be on guard in the spiritual realm. After thinking for a moment, he issued one order after another. He let Shen Tuqi, Luan Fang, and Si Huai each lead their own teams. They were divided into seven teams, with one team dealing with one enemy.

  Just wait and see, when the time comes, I'll launch the Yin-Yang Ten Extremes Formation to give these enemies a crushing blow!

  But remotely controlled birds flew into a mountain forest.

  There were two Taoist priests here, digging a deep pit and pouring a grayish powder into the pit.

  This deep pit is actually a node of the earth's vein, which was dug three zhang deep and then filled with this unknown powder. The earth's energy was immediately cut off.

  "So it was this idea all along!" Liu Yi suddenly realized.

  But in his heart, he sneered at these guys who wanted to set up a formation to cut off the spiritual energy of the land, and were certainly preparing to enter the Spiritual Realm.

  But they absolutely did not think that in this spiritual realm, they also set up the Yin Yang Ten Extremes Array with the help of the earth's vein energy.

  In this mountain forest, there are many wild animals. These two Qingyang Sect cultivators didn't pay much attention to it either.

  One of them smiled and said: "Brother Dao, aren't you going to wait for Yun Shi to come back before taking action?"

  Another one laughed: "Yun Shi is the direct disciple of the great and virtuous master, with an identity as noble as can be, and his magical powers are all-pervading. To deal with such a minor deity, why would he need to lift a finger? Of course, it's because he's accompanying the Governor!"
