Chapter 1638 Big Business Comes
Time flew by fast.
After three years, Zhang Han was hanging out in the outer ring and cultivating.
He had been to many places, including the Qian Wind District and more than a dozen small areas nearby.
One day, Jiang Lijia, the Hall Master of the Highest Clouds Palace in the Qian Wind District, was reading the pieces of news having been sorted out.
“The second task for the Six-star Emissary, Zhang Hanyang, is to go to the Gupoluo Star. The rare metal mine there has also disappeared. Some spiritual treasures were left there.”
“The third task is to explore the treasure land in the Anling District. As a result, the treasure land disappeared and became an ordinary continent.”
“The fourth task is to rescue Immortal Master Nan Gong from the Land of Night Devils on the Haohuduoer Planet. However, the Land of Night Devils disappeared.”
“He took on four tasks in four years. One is five-star, and three are six-star. It is too fast. Therefore, the treasures or metals that have disappeared are because of Zhang Hanyang?”
“It’s basically certain. He has the ancient demonic beast. It is still growing. We should report this matter to our Palace Master in detail.”
Jiang Lijia thought to himself, “Our Palace Master has wanted an ancient demonic beast to be his mount for so many years, but he has never gotten what he wanted. Maybe he can make a breakthrough on Zhang Hanyang.”
“Come here.”
Jiang Lijia ordered his man, “Contact the five major districts nearby. Send their tasks about rare metal mines, treasure lands, and places full of demonic Qi to our system. Send them our corresponding tasks to them at the same time.”
“Okay!”
Beep! Beep!
After about five hours, Zhang Han and the others were living in the manor exclusive to the Six-star Emissaries.
His wristband suddenly rang.
This was the quest prompt.
“Huh? There are more than 300 more tasks?” Zhang Han took a look.
They were about rare metals, treasure lands, and various other things.
Zhang Han was interested in more than 20 of them.
“A Six-star Emissary can only accept three tasks at a time.”
“Accept three first.”
After the screening, Zhang Han accepted three tasks.
Yue Wuwei said with a smile, “It seems you’re going to be busy again. I didn’t expect the Highest Clouds Palace’s Six-star Emissaries to have such high status.”
“Daddy, are we going out again?” Mengmeng asked.
In the past, she might have asked, “When are we going to the inner ring of the Star Sea to have a look?”
However, the Star Sea was too big. There were tens of thousands of districts in the outer ring. They had only traveled in a small number of places and more than a dozen districts.
“I’ve accepted three tasks, two of which are related to the metal mines, and one is about a treasure land,” Zhang Han said.
“You’ve swallowed so many metals recently. When will you reach the sixth tier of the Tribulation Stage?” Zi Yan asked.
Seeing her blinking big eyes, Zhang Han laughed. “It’ll take a long time for me to reach the sixth-tier Tribulation Stage. The Golden-armored Giant Beast grows very fast, but it needs too many resources. It’s like a bottomless pit.”
Among his duplications, the Thunder Body could easily devour the Tribulation Lightning, but it grew slowly. It would take the Thunder Body several months to digest every time.
The Cosmic Extreme Tao Figure could devour the energy of treasure lands, but its energy conversion efficiency was not as good as that of the Golden-armored Giant Beast.
The Great Demon’s Figure had a planet’s nourishment. It was enough for it to use. However, it broke through more slowly.
The growth rate of the Golden-armored Giant Beast was high, but it needed a lot of money.
At this speed, Zhang Han would be poor sooner or later.
Zi Yan asked this question because Zhang Han said they would have a good rest and go to another interesting place after the next breakthrough.
Zi Yan was looking forward to it.
The trip to Sea World last time had left them endless aftertastes.
“It will take more than a year to complete the three tasks. Let’s go to the Sea World after that. Last time, there were two cities that we didn’t have fun in. This time, we’ll go there and have a look,” Zhang Han said.
“Okay!” Mengmeng responded with a smile.
She liked going out to play the most.
The first task was to guard and dig a metal mine.
“The metal mine disappeared. The task is canceled.”
The second similar task began.
At this time, a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p with a distinctive appearance. It seemed to be decorated with diamonds all over. The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p slowly landed in the branch of the Highest Clouds Palace in the Qian Wind District.
“Palace Master!”
Jiang Lijia’s expression was excited as he personally welcomed the other party.
The Immortal Master Waterheaven was the Palace Master of the Highest Clouds Palace. He had some fame in the seventh region.
He arrived in front of Jiang Lijia.
He looked like a middle-aged man. He was thin, had a long face and big eyes, and looked a little cold.
“I saw the information you sent.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven said flatly, “The information is precious. Very good. That ancient demonic beast is suspected to be the Star Demon Dragon King. That’s a Holy Beast of the ancient demonic beasts.”
The Star Demon Dragon King’s skin should be black or dark green. However, the skin was golden in the video. Immortal Master Waterheaven invited many experts to have meetings and discussed it for 81 days. Finally, he learned a record from an ancient book that there was a dragon in the northern wilderness, it was called Star Demon, and its skin was dark…
According to the record, it was very likely to be a mutated Star Demon Dragon King. It was incomparably powerful.
Immortal Master Waterheaven was surprised for a while. Then he immediately set off and came here.
“Where is the person?” Immortal Master Waterheaven asked.
“He is in the middle of a task.” Jiang Lijia was excited and said, “I have not acted rashly and alerted him yet. I was afraid that he would escape, so I was waiting for your order.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven frowned. “What are you talking about? He is the Six-star Emissary of our palace. Do you want to bully your subordinate, or do you want to win my favor by playing tricks on him?”
The cold tone of Immortal Master Waterheaven made Jiang Lijia sweat.
Too many people in the Star Sea had s.n.a.t.c.hed treasures, so he was used to it.
There were also many people who were chivalrous and righteous.
Immortal Master Waterheaven was not a good guy, but he was quite friendly to the disciples of the Highest Clouds Palace.
“I was wrong. I should have been punished.” Jiang Lijia cupped his hands.
“Don’t mention it again.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven softened slightly. “You have done a good job in this matter. After this matter, go to R12 Palace to conduct three-year cultivation. Take good care of yourself. Those with evil intentions will only go astray. Remember! Our Highest Clouds Palace has never done evil things. Don’t violate the taboo.”
“Okay. I understand. I’ll keep it in mind.” Jiang Lijia lowered his head.
“Take me to him.” Immortal Master Waterheaven nodded slightly.
Jiang Lijia went on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p of Immortal Master Waterheaven. It was like a large round disc. It was white and s.h.i.+ning like silver sand, whistling in the void.
Those who saw it couldn’t help exclaiming, “Isn’t this our Palace Master’s Crystal Stone s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p?”
“The hulls are made of rare metals, equipped with 3,000 formations. The energy cabin requires at least medium-grade crystals to burn. It is said that this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is priceless.”
“It’s too expensive. It costs trillions of crystal stones.”
A few days later, Zhang Han had just arrived on the planet where he should complete his task.
“Guard this place and wait for the engineering team to mine the metals.”
Zhang Han checked the place and said, “Not bad. The metal mine is indeed rare and covers a large area. These metals are enough to eat for at least two months.”
Devouring metal didn’t mean increasing his cultivation level. At least, he wouldn’t be hungry.
The Golden-armored Giant Beast was in its growth period and had a good appet.i.te.
Of course, it also grew every day.
Now, it was more than 5,000 meters tall, not far away from ten thousand meters.
Seeing its body shape, Dahei felt a little afraid. It took the initiative to ask for a lot of medicinal pellets and meat. After eating them, it absorbed and digested them in the school bag. Little Hei even swallowed countless gems and lay down beside the school bag to sleep.
Their auras rose frequently. They had slept for more than two years.
“This planet is so ugly.”
Mengmeng glanced outside and said, “Its shape doesn’t look good.”
“You’re right. It’s like a strange floating stone,” Zi Yan commented.
“Although it is ugly, there are treasures inside,” Lisa said with a smile.
“It looks like a continent that has fallen from another big planet. It has no rules, no ecological environment, and is drifting in the universe.”
Zhang Han said, “If we can find the main planet, maybe we can find more metal mines.”
“In this case, is it more likely that the main planet has been blown up?” Yue Wuwei touched his beard and asked.
“Yes.” Zhang Han nodded.
Swoos.h.!.+
Just as they were about to leave the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and take a look at the surface of the continent, a huge s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p s.h.i.+ning with bright light broke out of the void not far away.
“Ah! This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is so beautiful.” Mengmeng blinked.
Zi Yan and Lisa also turned to look at the screen.
“It’s good. The metal of this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is so good.” Zhang Han narrowed his eyes.
He immediately sensed the metallic aura on the s.p.a.cecraft. It was profound, rich, and fragrant.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The wristband rang.
Zhang Han frowned slightly.
“It’s the Hall Master of the Highest Clouds Palace in the Qian Wind District. Elder Yue, let’s go and have a look. The others stay behind and enter the Alternate s.p.a.ce of Tiny Tot immediately if something unusual happens,” Zhang Han said.
“Okay! Don’t worry.” Zi Yan nodded cautiously, ready to summon Tiny Tot at any time.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
“Wait here, Elder Yue, in case there is an enemy.”
“Okay. You’re not afraid of death, but I am.” Yue Wuwei nodded.
Zhang Han was a little speechless and flew forward for a few kilometers.
Two figures quickly came from the s.h.i.+ning s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
One was a man in green, Jiang Lijia, and the other was the man in white, Immortal Master Waterheaven, the Palace Master of the Highest Clouds Palace.
“Zhang Hanyang.”
Jiang Lijia said, “This is Immortal Master Waterheaven, the Palace Master of the Highest Clouds Palace.”
“h.e.l.lo.” Zhang Han cupped his hands and said.
The emissaries did not belong to Highest Clouds Palace’s direct disciples. Therefore, he didn’t need to bow.
Immortal Master Waterheaven smiled and said, “Good. You are young and promising. As a Six-star Emissary, you are very efficient in completing tasks. h.e.l.lo, I am Immortal Master Waterheaven.”
He made another introduction to show his kindness.
Zhang Han nodded, looked at him, and waited for the other party to continue.
“I’ll get straight to the point.” Immortal Master Waterheaven asked.
“Go ahead,” Zhang Han replied.
“When he went back to the Qian Wind District, he saw you fighting with someone. You have an ancient demonic beast, the Star Demon Dragon King. I like ancient demonic beasts very much, so I came to ask you if you can transfer it to me. I can give you a satisfactory price for it,” Immortal Master Waterheaven said.
He wanted to buy the ancient demonic beast directly, not rob it.
Having managed the Highest Clouds Palace in the Star Sea for so many years, the resources he controlled were unimaginable.
Especially the Highest Clouds Palace was engaged in business deals. He might have more resources than Zhang Han at his Peak-Stage.
“What if I don’t sell it?” Zhang Han said with a faint smile.
“Really?”
Immortal Master Waterheaven was silent for a moment, and he shook his head, “Then I can only say it’s a pity, but I don’t think you will refuse. I came with determination. It doesn’t matter even if I have to spend more spiritual treasures and other resources.”
His words showed he was really wealthy.
“Don’t you want to sell it? I’ll increase the price until you agree.”
“Really?”
Zhang Han suddenly fell silent.
He came up with a good idea.
