872 A Small Windfall, Dragon Tendon and Tiger Bone (1)
“Little An, you’ve grown up now. Have you learned to stand on the side of outsiders?”
Outside the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s forging workshop, Zheng Jingyun crossed his arms and looked askance at Zheng Chengan.
“Ancestor, let’s talk later,” Zheng Chengan said angrily. When he thought about how Zhou Shu was in the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s storehouse, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The ancestor doesn’t know the severity of the situation. Fortunately, he’s the ancestor. Otherwise, I would have slapped him to death long ago, Zheng Chengan cursed in his heart.
He hasn’t woken up for years. But after waking up, he hasn’t even killed a single demonic beast and has already lost half of the storehouse!
Is he considered an ancestor? Even a grandson wouldn’t behave like that.
“You…” Zheng Jingyun pointed at Zheng Chengan. “Alright, you’re the leader now. If I hit you in public again, it will damage your reputation. Just you wait!”
Zheng Chengan raised his eyes. What else could he do? With half of the storehouse gone, there might be a problem with the turnover of the Sima Grotto-Heaven. Fortunately, he had the forging method of the bloodline weapons that Zhou Shu had taught him. He could make up for this loss by increasing the selling price of bloodline weapons to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven by 30%!
While Zheng Chengan was thinking, he heard a creaking sound, and the door to the storehouse opened.
A figure staggered out.
Zheng Jingyun looked at Zhou Shu curiously. What happened? This brat went in and chose some forging materials. Why does it look like he was ravaged?
Zheng Chengan shouted and rushed toward the storehouse.
“There’s no need to be like that. Since I said half, then it’s half. I definitely won’t take any more,” Zhou Shu said weakly.
He didn’t take even one percent less either.
Ji Lutian groaned silently. He took a step forward and said, “Brother Zhou, how are you feeling?”
“I’m okay.” Zhou Shu shook his head. He sat down on the steps and casually threw out five weapons.
“The matter of the Celestial Thearch Sword is settled,” Zhou Shu said as the five connate divine weapons landed in front of Ji Lutian.
Ji Lutian was taken aback. He smiled, shook his head, and put away the five divine weapons.
At this moment, Zheng Chengan had already run out of the storehouse. He had a long face. “I knew it! I want to talk to you. I want to buy back those forging materials!”
“Buy back? With what?” Zhou Shu said.
“You can have as much gold, silver, and jewelry as you want,” Zheng Chengan said.
“What do I want those things for?” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Zheng Chengan, if someone is willing to bet, they have to be willing to admit defeat. You’re a dignified grotto-heaven, so you have to have the attitude of a grotto-heaven. If you’re so indecisive, people will laugh their heads off.”
“Little An, what do you mean by that? Do you want others to think that I, Zheng Jingyun, can’t afford to lose?” Zheng Jingyun said angrily. “Didn’t this brat just use the forging materials in the storehouse to forge five connate divine weapons? We can afford to lose to the forging materials of five connate divine weapons!”
“Five?” Zheng Chengan smiled bitterly. “Ancestor, go take a look yourself!”
Half of the forging materials in the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s forging workshop could definitely be forged into more than five connate divine weapons.
Zheng Jingyun glanced at Zhou Shu. Apart from the five connate divine weapons, he didn’t take out anything else. Does he have other grotto-heaven divine weapons on him?
Without another word, Zheng Jingyun turned around and entered the storehouse.
A moment later, he returned. “How did you do it, brat?”
Zheng Jingyun was different from Zheng Chengan. He didn’t care how many things in the storehouse that Zhou Shu had taken away. He was just curious about how Zhou Shu had done it.
Without a grotto-heaven, how did he manage to take away so many forging materials?!
“Ancestor, stop embarrassing yourself.” Zheng Chengan tugged at Zheng Jingyun. “There’s a divine weapon called the Cosmic Bangle, and it can store items. Also, he can forge weapons with his bare hands!”
“Cosmic Bangle?” Zheng Jingyun frowned.
Zhou Shu raised his arm, revealing the dozen or so Cosmic Bangles hanging on it.
Zheng Jingyun: “…”
“I…” Zheng Jingyun rolled up his sleeves and approached Zhou Shu.
Zheng Chengan hugged his waist tightly and shouted, “Ancestor, you have to admit defeat!”
…
In the end, Zheng Jingyun and Zhou Shu didn’t fight. The Sima Grotto-Heaven was bound to suffer this loss.
After all, the Sima Grotto-Heaven had no intention of completely falling out with Zhou Shu. From beginning to end, Zheng Jingyun was in the wrong.
As for Ji Lutian, he didn’t know if he had profited or lost.
Although he had lost the Celestial Thearch Sword, he had received five connate divine weapons. At least in terms of quantity, he seemed to have profited.
But the Celestial Thearch Sword was a connate divine weapon that could only be chanced upon by luck. It wasn’t something that could be compared with quantity.
The one who really profited was naturally Zhou Shu.
In a good mood, Zhou Shu didn’t mind Zheng Jingyun’s slight offense.
“Mr. Ji, let’s continue,” Zhou Shu said to Ji Lutian. “Where is the next forging material you hid? Let’s settle this as soon as possible. I have other things to do.”
Zhou Shu had now forged a few more connate divine weapons. He had to find another opportunity to distribute them at the Treasure Distribution Rock.
It was time to expand his worker team further.
“There’s no hurry,” Ji Lutian said lightly. “Didn’t you just give me five connate divine weapons? With these five connate divine weapons, I’m confident that I can persuade a few more people to join us.”
“Not us, you!” Zheng Jingyun said angrily. “I’m not on your side.”
“Aren’t we all going to fight demonic beasts?”
“Fighting demonic beasts is fighting demonic beasts. Anyway, I’m not with you! You fight yours, and I’ll fight mine. We stay in our own lanes and mine our own business!” Zheng Jingyun glared at him. Surnamed Ji isn’t a good person. Every time I meet him, nothing good happens!
