Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16530
Chapter 16528. The Golden Bowl
Just as Zhao Hai was about to inform the others that he wouldn’t be taking on any more work for a while, another call came in. Zhao Hai glanced at it and saw it was from another member of their alliance. He immediately answered. The caller said, “Magic array, I have a favor to ask you for.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback, then asked, somewhat puzzled, “What favor? Are you going to set up a magic array right now?”
The man shook his head. “No need. It’s like this, I know someone who helped me before. He has his own divine kingdom and has even built his own large magical artifact. Recently, his divine kingdom wants to undergo an upgrade, so he wanted to ask for your help. Is that alright?”
Zhao Hai was surprised, then frowned. “I don’t want to take on any more work recently; I want to get used to the spiritual energy in the divine realm first.”
The man immediately said, “Please help me. My friend…” “I’ve essentially saved his life, and he doesn’t trust anyone else. Luckily, I told him you know magic array techniques, and that’s why he brought this up with me. If you can help, please do so. What do you think?”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then said, “Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem, but I’ve recently offended someone, and a master at the level of a creator god. I’m worried that helping your friend might cause him trouble.”
The man quickly replied, “No, absolutely not. I’ll have my friend open his large magic artifact to the passage, and then we’ll go directly into it. Once inside, I won’t let him leave the Black Sea; we’ll set up the magic array on the outer edge of the Black Sea, and then we’ll come back immediately. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai finally said helplessly, “Alright, it’s settled then. Go and make the arrangements, and call me when you’re done.” The man happily agreed and immediately hung up the phone.
After the man hung up the phone, Zhao Hai’s expression darkened slightly. He twitched his fingers, then a cold smile appeared on his face. “Interesting. I’d like to see what kind of person you really are.”
Zhao Hai sensed that this operation the man mentioned would be dangerous. However, Zhao Hai didn’t know if the man was conspiring with others to scheme against him, or if he had also been deceived.
Therefore, Zhao Hai wanted to see for himself. He was confident in his abilities; even if the Skeleton God wanted to deal with him, he had a way to escape. That’s why Zhao Hai dared to go out.
Zhao Hai didn’t wait long, only about two hours, before the person called again. Zhao Hai answered immediately, and the person said, “Magic Array, come out. We’re waiting for you at the passage.” Zhao Hai responded and then directly sailed his Azure Leaf Boat away from his area, arriving at the passage. This so-called passage was the one that directly connected to the market town. Actually, there were many passages to the market town, but only a few could accommodate large magical artifacts. That’s why only passages that could accommodate large magical artifacts were called passages; other smaller passages didn’t count.
The area where Zhao Hai and his group lived was relatively close to one of these passages, so the passage they were referring to was that one.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the passage, he found a large magical artifact there. This large magical artifact looked somewhat peculiar; it resembled a bowl.
At that moment, the person from the alliance was standing beside the bowl waiting for him. Zhao Hai flew over directly, and the person greeted him, saying from afar, “Magic Array, this time we really have to trouble you. Thank you so much. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Zhao Hai smiled wryly and said, “Shadow, you really know how to pick your moments. I just told someone I wouldn’t be taking any jobs lately, and you’ve already found me one.”
Upon hearing this, Shadow immediately said, “This is a special case. In fact, I was also hunted down years ago, and it was the Golden Bowl that saved me. If it weren’t for him, I’d probably have been captured long ago. So, this time he said he wanted to upgrade the magic array, and it would be really unreasonable for me not to help. So, this time we can only trouble you. Don’t worry, I’ll remember this favor, and he definitely won’t treat you unfairly this time.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Alright, let’s go.” Shadow nodded, and the two of them entered the Golden Bowl directly.
As soon as they entered the golden bowl, they found a cultivator waiting for them inside. This man was short and slightly plump, with a smiling face and an overall amiable demeanor.
Upon seeing Zhao Hai and An Ying, he immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to them, then said to Zhao Hai, “This must be Fellow Daoist Fazhen? I am Jinbo. I was truly at my wit’s end this time, which is why I had Brother An Ying come to invite you. I’m so sorry to have bothered you.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re too kind. I don’t even know if I can be of any help. If I can’t, please don’t take offense.”
Jin Bo immediately smiled and said, “How could I blame you? I’m already extremely grateful that you came. Please, let’s go inside and talk.” Zhao Hai nodded, and at the same time, he also glanced at the magic artifact. It didn’t seem any different from others; it contained many houses, with a five-story building at the very back. High walls surrounded the entire area, which covered about a thousand acres. It seemed quite a few people lived there, with the houses standing side by side.
The three of them went to the innermost building and went inside. The first floor of the building had a large hall. After sitting down, two very beautiful female cultivators immediately served them tea.
Jin Bo said to Zhao Hai, “Fellow Daoist Fazhen, try my tea. It’s not very good, but you should be able to drink it.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said with a smile, “Good tea.” The tea was actually only average; the aroma was strong, but it was slightly astringent, so it wasn’t exactly good.
Zhao Hai put down the teacup and said to Jin Bo, “Fellow Daoist, let’s talk about how you want to upgrade your magic weapon. If you have the array diagram of the magic array inside the original magic weapon, could you show it to me? That would save me a lot of trouble.”
Jin Bo smiled and said, “Alright, Fellow Daoist, you’re so straightforward. I like straightforward people like you.”
With that, Jin Bo moved his hand and directly took out a jade slip, handing it to Zhao Hai, saying, “Fellow Daoist, please look. This is the magic array of my magic weapon.”
Zhao Hai responded, took the jade slip, and then probed it with his spiritual power. Upon probing inside, Zhao Hai was taken aback, then his expression changed. He looked at the golden bowl and asked, “What does this mean, fellow Daoist?”
Shadow, who had been following Zhao Hai, looked at him with some confusion and asked, “A magic array? What’s wrong?”
Zhao Hai glanced at him and then handed him the jade slip. Shadow took the jade slip and probed it with his spiritual power. His expression also changed, because the jade slip contained only a very simple Five Elements Array diagram. This was clearly not the array diagram inside this magic artifact, which was why Zhao Hai had asked such a question.
Shadow looked at Golden Bowl with some confusion and asked, “Brother Golden Bowl, what do you mean by this?”
Golden Bowl smiled at the two of them, then smiled slightly and said, “Brother Shadow, I’m sorry, as you know, life in the God Realm is not easy. Someone gave me a condition I couldn’t refuse: to take the magic array to the outside of the Black Sea. So I had no choice but to agree.”
Upon hearing this, Shadow’s expression completely changed. He looked at Golden Bowl and said, “You lied to me? I’ve always considered you my elder brother, and you lied to me? I saved my life back then, how can you lie to me now?”
Looking at Shadow’s expression, Golden Bowl smiled bitterly and said, “I told you, life is hard. Besides, what does saving you back then have to do with lying to you now?”
Shadow suddenly stood up. He looked at Golden Bowl and said, “Golden Bowl, from today onwards, we are no longer brothers. You saved my life before, but this matter is considered repayment of your kindness. Formation, let’s go.”
Zhao Hai remained seated, which surprised Golden Bowl. He turned to look at Zhao Hai, who in turn looked at Golden Bowl. Golden Bowl looked at Zhao Hai, then glanced at Shadow, and then shook his head, giving a bitter smile. “You’re still so naive. I tricked you all into coming here; how could I let you leave so easily? My magical artifact is about to leave the market. I’m just taking you outside; I won’t concern myself with the rest. And Shadow, this matter has nothing to do with you. Once outside the market, just stay in my magical artifact, and I guarantee your safety. You’ve only known him for a short time, and you don’t have any real relationship. After this incident, I’ll share the benefits with you.” “I’ll give you half, and I guarantee that with what you get this time, you can build your divine kingdom, and a large-scale magical artifact at that. What do
you say?” Upon hearing this, Shadow was taken aback, then his expression changed. He looked at Golden Bowl and said, “Nonsense! The magic array wasn’t supposed to come out this time; it only did so out of respect for me. I lied to it, so how could I betray it again? This time, the two of us are leaving together. I want to see if anyone else can stop us. If you dare to stop us, don’t blame me for fighting you.”
Golden Bowl shook his head at Shadow’s expression, then smiled bitterly and said, “Brother, you’re inside my magical artifact now. This is my divine kingdom. I’m in charge here. If I don’t want you to leave, you can’t leave. I don’t want to fight you either, so you’d better stay. Once we reach the outside of the Black Sea, I’ll let you leave. What do you say?”
“You!” Shadow glared at Jinbo, speechless with anger. He truly hadn’t expected to be betrayed by the person he trusted most; it was a huge blow to him. (End of Chapter)
