"Alliance Head, what exactly is this Bei Zhu thing?" Wei Dong couldn't help but ask.

There is a spirit lake in the Black Turtle Island of the Tian Shui Country, and at the bottom of the lake, there is a huge creased crested clam. It is said that it has lived for hundreds of years, and obtained the power of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise.

Wei Dong didn't understand. Other clams could also produce pearls, but pearls were only used as ornaments. Even though the name was changed to Beizhu, could their effects change a lot?

Although the pearl looks like a pearl on the outside, it contains a tremendous amount of energy. If you grind the pearl into powder and make the grain pellets, it can sustain Skywalker's energy for half a month.

"How is this possible?" Wei Dong was stunned. He didn't even need to eat Bei Zhu for half a month?

This would undoubtedly be of great help in completing the long-distance missions. There was no need to frequently replenish his physical strength. In addition, it would allow Skywalker to travel to more difficult places, and maybe even gain some benefits. This way, it seems that Bei Zhu was indeed a treasure, no wonder so many people were fighting over it.

"Therefore, that rich merchant would probably ask Skywalker to escort him if he can get his hands on Bei Zhu. At that time, fierce battles cannot be avoided, so you have to be prepared." Earth Awakened glanced at Wei Dong and spoke with a sincere tone. His meaning was clear: you can hang up at any time.

Being able to die in battle was also an honor for her, but she couldn't stop worrying about her mother. Although she had received a lot of money during this period of time, it was more than enough for her to live her entire life, but emotions were not something that could be replaced with money.

"Hehe, of course, don't worry. I know you are a filial son. You went to complete the mission, and we will take care of your mother." Seeing that Wei Dong was so relaxed, Awakened Earth didn't need to brainwash anymore.

"Then, thank you, Alliance Head." Wei Dong excitedly cupped his fists towards Earth Awakening. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.

At night, the entire Luo City was quiet, and the lights of the city lord's mansion were still bright. A few of them were patrolling the huge courtyard to ensure the safety of the city lord.

"Big brother, I've sent out the message that I'm going to buy the pearl. I'll head to the Heavenly Water Nation in a few days." He decided to report the situation to him in the secret room.

Gu Yong's expression was heavy, after hearing his younger brother's words, he nodded and suddenly asked, "How confident are you in buying Bei Zhu?"

"As long as they are willing to sell it for silver, I can guarantee that the pearl will be in my hands." He was not bragging. His wealth was comparable to an entire country, so he spoke with full of confidence.

"That's good, that's good!" This made his brother's words a bit more relaxed.

"Big brother, I don't understand why you spent so much money to buy this pearl!"

In the past few days, he had been following Ling Gu's instructions and spread the news of him buying Bei Zhu and purposely revealing the possible route to return from the Heavenly Water Nation. He clearly wanted to mislead others so that he could pass through Chen Cang and bring Bei Zhu back safely.

"You're a merchant, so you don't understand much about this item. To Skywalker, Bei Zhu's allure is extremely great. Other than the four countries in the Heavenly Water Nation, the rest are all fighting over it with their lives." He slowly explained.

"You mean after you buy the pearl, you should dedicate it to the upper echelons of the Heavenly Gold Country, and then the higher ups will raise your position?" The clever one could only think in this direction.

Gu Gu Gu shook his head. His younger brother had underestimated his own ambition. There was no mistake, handing over Bei Zhu could indeed win a reward and be promoted to an official in Ye Luocheng. However, he was not the lord of a city. Only by obtaining greater achievements would one be qualified to meet the requirements for the interview. Only then would one be able to rise to the top and take the position of City Lord in a single leap.

"What is it?" Ling Du became curious, and looked at Ling Gu with a puzzled expression.

"I can't say it now, but you'll understand in the future. Anyway, it will definitely be beneficial for our family." Gu Shenwei didn't intentionally hide it from his brother, but the matter was rather complicated. There were too many implications, so it was hard to say clearly.

"Alright! Then, I shall look for Principal Liu Zhe to arrange the return escort for Skywalker. After all, no matter how we circle around, we will have to pass by Ye Luo City. " Ever since they met at the banquet last time, as long as they went to Ye Cheng, he would treat Liu Zhe to wine and flowers. Naturally, the relationship between the two was very close.

"Mm, that's fine. However, do not personally escort Bei Zhu back, I will arrange for your assistance. The main reason is that the road is too dangerous. " He reminded her.

"Alright." He was afraid that he would be in danger, and he knew that there would probably be even more people spying on treasures like Bei Zhu's.

After he left, Ling Gu thought for a while and decided to let him come out to discuss it. He then shouted at the ground, "Please come out!"

Suddenly, a shadow drilled out from the ground and slowly formed into a physical entity. This was the treant that had protected the sun at the top of the mountain before. Other than its head looking like a human, its feet and hands were like thick vines.

"Bei Zhu, according to your request, I will buy it in the next few days. However, I'm worried that there will be experts robbing this place along the way." "Yes." Ling Gu spoke first. "I understand what you mean. I will protect you in the dark. After all, this is something I need." The Ents growled.

Gu Gu nodded. As long as he was willing to go, there shouldn't be any problems with Liu Zhe's arrangements. Moreover, they would arrange for several teams to return from the Heavenly Water Nation with fake Bei Zhu.

"If after you obtain the pearl, I hope that you will keep your promise and tell me the method to achieve immortality, I don't seek for immortality, I only desire to surpass an ordinary person by a little bit." It let Gu Lao know that he would leave immediately after getting Bei Zhu, so he respectfully mentioned it once. The treeman laughed, "I've been at your house for so long, I've helped you do many things, and everything was done perfectly. When have I ever lied to you? "Don't worry."

Since he had already said so, Gu Ruoyun no longer brought it up. Instead, he added, "If you don't want to go back and stay with me, I will always treat you as a relative."

"I appreciate your kindness. It is only natural for you to return to your roots. After all, I am not someone from this continent, and even if I were to prosper here, it would not be comparable to my hometown's plain food, I hope you can understand. " The treant had been here for many years, but because of his strangeness, he could not assimilate into this world.

"Since senior has said so, I won't force you." This caused Gu Yong to roll his eyes as he spoke in an awe-inspiring manner. Inwardly, he was laughing sinisterly. As long as he figured out his route home, the Sky Golden Kingdom would most likely ask for something from him. At that time, anything would be fine.
