Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 341

[Chapter 341 Back to the old business]

Under the sea.

Canglan Kingdom.

The human race has five dynasties and dozens of countries. The sea tribe also has countries. Canglan Kingdom is a sea tribe country near the East China Sea of Daxia. Under the rule of Canglan Kingdom, there are more than ten large sea tribes and millions of sea tribes.

The annual Poseidon Festival is also the annual tribute day.

In Canglan, those large sea tribes need to pay tribute to the Canglan royal family.

These tributes are nominally dedicated to the Lord of the Sea, but everyone knows that this is just an excuse for the royal family. All tributes eventually entered the royal family’s treasury.

However, the Canglan royal family rules these tribes with absolute strength. Even those large tribes can only endure the oppression of the royal family.

Today is the day of tribute. The patriarchs and warriors of the major tribes have brought tributes to the Canglan King City in the past two days.

At the gate of the palace, there are royal servants who record the tributes, sort them into categories, and transport them to the royal family’s treasury.

At this time, Lin Xiu, who was in hiding, had also entered the Canglan King City.

The sea tribes he recruited were all small tribes. He only knew that they belonged to the Canglan Kingdom, but he didn’t know where the Canglan King City was, let alone the Canglan Royal Family.

So Lin Xiu had to follow the big tribe here.

The concealment ability of the Earth Rank was already a height that no one had ever reached before. It could completely conceal all his auras, and those below the Heaven Rank could not detect it at all.

According to Lin Xiu’s understanding, there was only one Heaven Rank strongman in Canglan, and that was the King of Canglan.

Today he would receive the patriarchs of the big tribes of the sea tribe in the palace, and at the same time perform a ceremony to worship the Sea God. During this Sea God Festival, a certain tribe robbed a lot of jars of fine wine from the human merchant ship and sent them to the royal city as tribute.

Wine is a very rare thing in the sea tribe, and it is usually difficult to see.

Many sea tribe strongmen drank until they were dizzy, and even the King of Canglan was a little drunk.

Inside the palace, the atmosphere was jubilant, and in another palace, many sea tribes were moving tributes from various tribes into the palace one by one.

There were also many sea tribe supervisors around them, and no one could do anything with the tributes.

After all the tributes were delivered, the palace gate slowly closed, and countless sea tribe soldiers surrounded the palace, and not a single sea fish could get through.

This is the royal family’s treasure house and the most heavily guarded place in the royal city.

Outside the palace, the guards were concentrating, and inside the palace, a figure slowly appeared.

Outside the palace was the sea, but inside the palace, there was no water at all, because there was a water film around the palace, isolating the seawater from the outside.

Lin Xiu opened a box, which was full of sparkling water spirits.

Lin Xiu came to Canglan Royal City this time just for them.

The royal family forced those large tribes to provide them with water spirits for the purpose of cultivation. Sufficient water spirits can allow the royal family to continuously produce strong people, thereby maintaining their rule.

It can be said that the strength of the sea clan royal family is raised by other sea clans.

Lin Xiu skillfully opened the boxes one by one. In those boxes, there were boxes of water essences stacked up, but the grade was not high, and the strength of the sea clan condensed from them would not exceed the Xuan level.

In the last small box, the volume of water essences was larger, which should be condensed by the sea clan of the lower level of the earth level. The

water essences condensed by the sea clan of the upper level of the earth level that Lin Xiu wanted were not here.

This is the most precious water essence. They can create sea clan strongmen of the upper level of the earth level. They may be placed in a more hidden place.

Lin Xiu searched the treasure house, but did not find it.

The other so-called treasures are all things of the human race, such as wine, spices, tea, silk, porcelain, these things that are not worth mentioning outside, but they are treasures for the sea clan.

Lin Xiu did not touch these things, and he accepted all the water essences without hesitation.

Although he could no longer use these low-level water essences, Caiyi and Ning’er could use them.

It only takes a few minutes to change their second ability to the water magic.

After walking around the treasury and confirming that nothing important was missed, Lin Xiu’s body gradually disappeared. Although in his eyes, he was still inside the palace, neither the walls of the palace nor the water creatures guarding outside could hinder him at all, because his body was in another space.

Leaving the royal treasury, Lin Xiu wondered where the most important water spirits would be placed.

King Canglan would definitely not carry such things with him, which would be very inconvenient. Male sea creatures usually only wear a pair of trousers woven with seaweed, and he couldn’t stuff the water spirits in his crotch.

Those things are likely to be where he lives.

King Canglan’s residence is easy to find. The most luxurious one in the palace should be it. Although this kind of luxury cannot be compared with the Daxia Palace, it is obviously more luxurious than other sea race palaces around.

Even the guards around that palace are several times more than those in other palaces.

King Canglan would not be back for a while, so Lin Xiu went back to the capital and brought more than a dozen jars of his strongest wine, enough for them to drink for a while.

After entering King Canglan’s palace, Lin Xiu searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time, but still found nothing.

He suspected that there was some mechanism here, but he did not have time to study it.

He observed the palace and found that there was no extra space around or above the palace. If there was any secret room with a mechanism, it must be below.

Lin Xiu used the earth escape technique to escape into the ground, and soon found that there was indeed a dark room underground.

On the wall of the dark room, there were several beads emitting faint fluorescence, which provided some light for the dark room.

With this weak light, Lin Xiu saw that on a table made of coral, a row of shells were neatly placed, and in those shells, there were colorless and transparent crystals.

The volume of these water spirits was much larger than those that Lin Xiu had seen in the treasure house just now.

Lin Xiu counted them and found that there were a full fifteen water spirits here. The largest shell contained a fist-sized diamond, which was almost the same size as the other water spirits combined.

Could this be condensed by King Canglan himself?

The water spirit condensed by a Heaven-level strongman is not much less valuable than the seventh-level alien beast crystal. It takes at least several months to condense. During these months, his cultivation will stagnate, but the effect is also huge.

It can increase the possibility of the sea race in the upper realm of the Earth-level to break through to the Heaven-level.

Lin Xiu looked at these water spirits, and even his eyes emitted a faint fluorescence.

…

A moment later, King Canglan returned to the palace with a sea clan.

Many times, he admired the wisdom of the human race. They could brew fine wine, make silk, burn porcelain, and cook food with fire. When the sea clan became strong enough, they would definitely attack the mainland and make those human races their slaves…

He looked at the sea clan and said, “You must practice well and advance to the heavenly level as soon as possible. At that time, we will first annex Hailing Kingdom, and then slowly unify all the sea clans. The day of occupying the land will not be long…” This sea clan

was a genius of the royal family. He was born only thirty years ago, and he was about to be promoted to the upper realm of the earth level. He was also the most promising one in the royal family to be promoted to the heavenly level. The

water spirits that the tribes paid tribute to this time were enough to make Canglan Kingdom have another strong man.

King Canglan walked to a huge stone bed and used a stream of water to move the heavy stone bed away, revealing a large hole in the ground. He walked down the stone steps and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why is the secret room so dark?

A moment later.

An angry roar came from a palace. This voice contained endless anger. Even the palace collapsed in the roar.

Some drunken sea clan warriors sobered up instantly after hearing this roar.

They were confused and shocked. What happened to make King Canglan so angry?

Just as they were puzzled, not long after, another roar came from the direction of the royal family’s treasury. It sounded like

King Canglan.

Soon, countless sea clan soldiers swam out of the palace and blocked the entire royal city, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. The royal guards also left the palace and searched for something from house to house… The

strong men of the tribe didn’t know why King Canglan was so angry, but it was obvious that something big had happened in the royal city.

It wasn’t until half a day later that they got the news.

When King Canglan was entertaining the strong men from various tribes, a thief took the opportunity to rob the royal family’s treasury. All the water spirits they had paid tribute to this year were looted by the thief…

In the past year, the efforts of all the tribes in Canglan Kingdom were not dedicated to the royal family, but benefited from the thief.

…

East China Sea.

An uninhabited island near the coast.

Lin Xiu sat cross-legged, holding a water spirit. The water technique was activated, and the water spirit in his hand melted immediately. At the same time, a huge amount of Yuan force instantly poured into his body.

This Yuan force rushed through his body, and soon, Lin Xiu felt the existence of the wall.

Then, this Yuan force hit the wall fiercely.

Lin Xiu groaned and his body trembled slightly.

The wall seemed to tremble with the impact, but it still existed.

Lin Xiu took a deep breath, and the second water spirit appeared in his hand.

Then the third, fourth, fifth…

The wall was so thick that it withstood the impact of the energy every time, but each time it shook more violently, as if it would be washed away by the torrent of energy next time…

Finally, when the eighth water spirit became invisible in Lin Xiu’s hand, something seemed to collapse inside Lin Xiu’s body. At

this moment, everything around him seemed to be different.

The sky was bluer, the water was clearer, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks in the distance was clearer.

At this moment, Lin Xiu had no other feelings.

He suddenly missed Zhao Lingjun.

He wanted to see her right away.
