872 A Small Windfall, Dragon Tendon and Tiger Bone (1)
âLittle An, youâve grown up now. Have you learned to stand on the side of outsiders?â
Outside the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heavenâs forging workshop, Zheng Jingyun crossed his arms and looked askance at Zheng Chengan.
âAncestor, letâs talk later,â Zheng Chengan said angrily. When he thought about how Zhou Shu was in the Sima Grotto-Heavenâs storehouse, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The ancestor doesnât know the severity of the situation. Fortunately, heâs the ancestor. Otherwise, I would have slapped him to death long ago, Zheng Chengan cursed in his heart.
He hasnât woken up for years. But after waking up, he hasnât even killed a single demonic beast and has already lost half of the storehouse!
Is he considered an ancestor? Even a grandson wouldnât behave like that.
âYouâ¦â Zheng Jingyun pointed at Zheng Chengan. âAlright, youâre the leader now. If I hit you in public again, it will damage your reputation. Just you wait!â
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.
âThereâs no need to be like that. Since I said half, then itâs half. I definitely wonât take any more,â Zhou Shu said weakly.
He didnât take even one percent less either.
Ji Lutian groaned silently. He took a step forward and said, âBrother Zhou, how are you feeling?â
âIâm okay.â Zhou Shu shook his head. He sat down on the steps and casually threw out five weapons.
âThe matter of the Celestial Thearch Sword is settled,â 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. âI knew it! I want to talk to you. I want to buy back those forging materials!â
âBuy back? With what?â Zhou Shu said.
âYou can have as much gold, silver, and jewelry as you want,â Zheng Chengan said.
âWhat do I want those things for?â Zhou Shu shook his head. âZheng Chengan, if someone is willing to bet, they have to be willing to admit defeat. Youâre a dignified grotto-heaven, so you have to have the attitude of a grotto-heaven. If youâre so indecisive, people will laugh their heads off.â
âLittle An, what do you mean by that? Do you want others to think that I, Zheng Jingyun, canât afford to lose?â Zheng Jingyun said angrily. âDidnât 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!â
âFive?â Zheng Chengan smiled bitterly. âAncestor, go take a look yourself!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Half of the forging materials in the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heavenâs 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 didnât 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. âHow did you do it, brat?â
Zheng Jingyun was different from Zheng Chengan. He didnât 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?!
âAncestor, stop embarrassing yourself.â Zheng Chengan tugged at Zheng Jingyun. âThereâs a divine weapon called the Cosmic Bangle, and it can store items. Also, he can forge weapons with his bare hands!â
âCosmic Bangle?â Zheng Jingyun frowned.
Zhou Shu raised his arm, revealing the dozen or so Cosmic Bangles hanging on it.
Zheng Jingyun: ââ¦â
âIâ¦â Zheng Jingyun rolled up his sleeves and approached Zhou Shu.
Zheng Chengan hugged his waist tightly and shouted, âAncestor, you have to admit defeat!â
â¦
In the end, Zheng Jingyun and Zhou Shu didnât 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 didnât 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 wasnât something that could be compared with quantity.
The one who really profited was naturally Zhou Shu.
In a good mood, Zhou Shu didnât mind Zheng Jingyunâs slight offense.
âMr. Ji, letâs continue,â Zhou Shu said to Ji Lutian. âWhere is the next forging material you hid? Letâs settle this as soon as possible. I have other things to do.â
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.
âThereâs no hurry,â Ji Lutian said lightly. âDidnât you just give me five connate divine weapons? With these five connate divine weapons, Iâm confident that I can persuade a few more people to join us.â
âNot us, you!â Zheng Jingyun said angrily. âIâm not on your side.â
âArenât we all going to fight demonic beasts?â
âFighting demonic beasts is fighting demonic beasts. Anyway, Iâm not with you! You fight yours, and Iâll fight mine. We stay in our own lanes and mine our own business!â Zheng Jingyun glared at him. Surnamed Ji isnât a good person. Every time I meet him, nothing good happens!
