Chapter 11 Return to Dingzhou

In the hazy water balloon, thirty-six skulls began to loosen slowly and finally separated, revealing the white baby bones below.

Immediately afterwards, the treasure plate began to split rapidly, the bones spread outward, and rare materials separated one after another. These materials emitted light of various colors and were strange in shape, but they all contained thick air of heaven and earth, and they should be rare spiritual objects that were extremely difficult to find.

On a rough note, the treasure pot actually split into hundreds of materials, which slowly rotated along the breath of the water ball. In the instant, the entire stone hall was shining with a dazzling light.

Fang Ling was shocked by the changes in the treasure pot for a long time, and then his eyes slowly moved to the dagger in his hand, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, this dagger is really the Immortal Dagger! The legendary magic weapon in the cultivation world actually hid on its body for a whole three days, which was really surprising.

Fang Ling was simply overjoyed, but he was stunned again, secretly calling himself stupid, and forgot to ask Huo Junyuan an important thing, that is, what materials are probably composed of and which materials are the core.

Although taking down any material will affect the integrity of the spell, some materials only play an auxiliary role. If the core material cannot be obtained, even if the magic weapon is destroyed, the four young masters will not be able to survive.

Only three and four pills can barely support the decomposition, and it is impossible for me to do it again.

He gritted his teeth hard and calmed down to see that these hundreds of materials were absolutely not taken away related to their appearance, so he could only take the inside, and each of the dozens of materials inside looked very important.

During this time of thinking, the water ball has become unstable, and the water vapor inside begins to fluctuate, as if it may disappear at any time.

Fang Ling knew that time was too long, so he swept over the materials again, finally put his heart in, reached in and grabbed a coral crystal inside. As soon as he grabbed it, the water ball quickly shrank, and all kinds of materials seemed to be stuffed together. When the water ball disappeared, the treasure pot returned to its original state, and the faint fire flashed in the skull, which seemed to have not been affected.

As soon as the coral crystal fell into his hand, Fang Lingdun felt a little thorny and almost threw the thing away. He quickly used the remaining energy to resist it, which made him feel better.

Putting the coral crystals into the waist bag, Fang Ling walked into the stone cave with his weak legs exhausted, leaned against the stone wall and took a few breaths. After his body finally recovered some strength, he reached out and pressed his hand on the stone man.

The energy of heaven and earth in the stone man's heart still seemed to exist or not. However, when Fang Ling inputted a wisp of heaven and earth energy, he found that the energy of heaven and earth in the stone man's body actually increased accordingly.

Fang Ling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. His body could accept the energy of heaven and earth outside, which means that the limitations of the magic on the body of the stone man have begun to disappear. As the energy of heaven and earth softened the fossil, his body should slowly recover until he woke up.

Fang Ling felt like a big stone fell in his heart. He picked up two stone men and walked towards the depths of the mine cave, and came to a hidden place, and then he entered the Cunding Ding again.

As soon as he walked in, he told Huo Junyuan about the discovery of Xiexian Dagger. This was also the origin of Fang Ling's first mention of the Cunding Ding and Xiexian Dagger.

Even Huo Junyuan was stunned and said in a silence: "What...what? Is this the Immortal Dagger?"

Fang Ling took out the coral crystal and said, "I also think it's too incredible, but this is the material I took out from the treasure pot. With it, it proves that my brother should believe it."

Huo Junyuan took it over and took a look, and secretly said, "This is a blood essence stone!"

"What is the blood essence stone?" Fang Ling said strangely.

Huo Junyuan frowned and said, "In the place where the war broke out, the blood of thousands of corpses will penetrate down the land and be absorbed by some special ores. After millions of years of changes, these ores will continuously absorb blood and corpse qi, and a small part will change into this blood essence stone. This thing can be said to be the most evil and evil thing in the mortal world. Ordinary people will be sucked away by touching it, and their bodies will gradually become stones. If I guess correctly, this thing is the most core material of the treasure pot."

Fang Ling suddenly realized and said, "No wonder he felt a little thorny when he touched it just now. It turned out that he wanted to suck my essence and blood."

Huo Junyuan looked at Jie Xian Dagger with amazement, then looked at Fang Ling calmly, and sighed: "Second brother, you really have a deep connection with immortality. This cultivator's magic weapon is many times stronger than the magic weapon of the Immortal disciple. It is something that is hard to come by for disciples of each sect. What's more, these two magic weapons are rare treasures even in the cultivation world. Each one is not an ordinary person. I am afraid that any one of them can cause the struggle between the two major immortal sects. However, such treasures fall into the hands of you, a mortal, and even brother is really envious."

Fang Ling couldn't help laughing, but there was a deeper mystery in his heart. Who was the woman in white? She actually had such two treasures, and why did she let them fall into the mortal world? But if blood was really the key to the decoding, then she should be a member of the Chu royal family, and she could only judge until she returned to the imperial city.

After finishing the breathing in the Cunding Ding, Fang Ling guessed that after the sun set, he left the Cunding Ding and began to follow the mine to the entrance of the gold mine.

He pricked up his ears to inquire about the movements around him, and judged that the guards would break the chains outside the door and walk out, then toss and turn outside.

Fang Ling had already thought of a countermeasure for the magic array at the door. He used his internal strength to loosen one side of the wall at the door, causing a jade stone embedded in the door to fall off. When the formation pillar fell, the magic array naturally disappeared, so that people would not suspect that someone had broken in, and thought that the mountain was not strong.

After doing all this, Fang Ling tied two stone men to the horse's back and rode the Red Flame towards Yizhou City.

Now it has just three days passed, and there is still 2 days left before Mo Xiang summoned the four guards. Half a day later, Fang Ling came to the silk shop in Yizhou City and asked Fei Ge to send a letter to Qingzhong City to pass the news to Mo Xiang. Otherwise, if Mo Xiang followed his orders and killed the four guards and unify the four towns, it would be troublesome.

After doing all this, Fang Ling took two stone men to the governor's mansion. When Yuan Dekang heard that Fang Ling had come, he hurried out to greet him. Compared to the first time he met, Yuan Dekang now had a smile on his face and bowed and said, "Your Highness, you can say a word, let the lower officials go to the city gate to greet him."

Fang Ling smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Yuan is so polite. You are busy with official business. Now I have to come over to disturb you."

Yuan Dekang laughed and said, "Your Highness is so funny. Your battle in Stranglethorn Valley made the enemy frightened, and the officials are also benefiting from you."

Fang Ling laughed and changed the subject: "You must know the purpose of the king coming here, Lord Yuan, right?"

Yuan Dekang quickly corrected his expression and sighed, "The officials know a little about it. In fact, I summoned the four prominent families two days ago to understand the general trend. However, these four great families are really too conflicted, and they are all stubborn. Although the officials are eager to persuade them, they are powerless. As parents in Dingzhou, they are unable to discipline these old men. Please forgive me."

Fang Ling was not surprised at all. It was impossible to gain a foothold in the northern part of Dingzhou, which was not supported by local forces. Yuan Dekang was not strong enough, so it was natural to be eaten by these four prominent clans. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic, Lord Yuan, I came here to save the siege." As he said that, he pointed at the horse's back.

Yuan Dekang was confused and didn't know what Fang Ling meant for a moment. What was the two stone men carrying? What was even more strange was that the stone man was actually wearing clothes and wearing jade pendants. Suddenly, he remembered something and screamed in surprise: "Your Highness, is this..."

Fang Ling knew what he guessed and interrupted: "It's good that Lord Yuan knows it. Now, you can invite the four heads of the family to the hall in the name of this king."

Although Yuan Dekang didn't know how Fang Ling would subdue the four people, he saw that he had even found the missing two young masters Zheng Wu, and he secretly admired them and immediately turned around to do the work.

Not long after, Fang Ling met the four masters of Zheng Wubai and Wei in the hall of the governor's mansion.

Zheng Tiansheng, the head of the Zheng family, is now in his fifties. He is the third uncle of the missing young master Zheng Ming. It is said that he loved this nephew very much before, even more than his father. Therefore, since the incident broke out twenty years ago, he has been taking a very tough attitude towards the Bai and Wei families and launched many commercial competitive offensives.

Wu Wenhao, the head of the Wu family, was in his sixties. He was the second uncle of the missing Young Master Wu. He was skilled in both the official and business. Although he looked more kind than Zheng Tiansheng on the outside, he was more ruthless than Zheng Tiansheng when doing things.

Bai Haitao, the head of the Bai family, and Wei Xiang, the head of the Wei family, are both elders of the young masters back then, with deep feelings and a hardliner elected to fight against the Zheng and Wu families.

The four of them came to the hall, and the two sects sat on one side, with a cold expression, which suddenly reduced the atmosphere in the hall to zero. Of course, the four of them knew the purpose of the King of Shicheng, so they seemed lukewarm to him. As for Yuan Dekang, they had no use to look at him.

A hundred or two hundred years of history have made the four prominent clans deeply rooted in Dingzhou, and they are inconsistent roles that cannot be disturbed. Even Yuan Dekang often had to seek help from the four.

Therefore, although Yuan Dekang was upset about the arrogance of the four, he just turned a blind eye and asked the four to save more face in front of the King of Shicheng, otherwise how embarrassing would it be?
