Chapter 2409: Shouzhe! Grandpa of Fortune 4

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

They often rely on architectural debris drifting in the void, using the insect wax they secrete to build large nests on them, where they stockpile food and nurture their offspring.

Clearly, this Signal Tower has been turned into a nest by them. Due to the insect wax, the appearance of the Signal Tower is already unrecognizable. In addition, the information they hold is incomplete, which is why it took so long to find it.

"Great. Once the Signal Tower is found, the rest is easy." Black Feather Demon God was overjoyed and immediately ordered, "Spread the word, dispatch troops to secure this place immediately. Remove the insect wax from the surface of the Signal Tower as quickly as possible and ascertain the extent of the damage to the Signal Tower."

"Yes, Master Demon God."

The order was issued, and soon many demon soldiers were dispatched to the Signal Tower to start removing the insect wax, while also clearing out the remaining void insect tribes nearby.

The efficiency of the demon soldiers was very high; in just half a day, most of the insect wax had been cleared, revealing the true face of the Signal Tower.

It was a dark tower-shaped building, its spire sharp and towering into the clouds. If you look closely, you can see the mottled marks left by energy and physical impacts on the tower body, as well as the intricate and elaborate demonic runes that, despite being damaged, still appear complex and refined.

After the baptism of countless epochs, these demonic runes have almost lost all their luster, clearly damaged and needing repair to regain their function.

"Reporting to Master Demon God, the subordinate has already inspected it. The primary materials of the Signal Tower are very robust and only need minor repairs to be used. However, as for repairing these demonic runes..." The Demonic Rune Master looked perplexed.

Black Feather Demon God’s face slightly sank: "Speak truthfully."

"After the Great Cataclysm, many of our Demonic Clan’s heritages were cut off. Although demonic rune system has literature left, it is too complex, and the knowledge system is missing, so our current demonic rune level is far inferior to what it was. With the subordinate’s ability, attempts at repair can be made, but it may require multiple corrections, and the material consumption and time needed for repair cannot be guaranteed..."

Black Feather Demon God waved his hand and said calmly, "Give me a rough idea of the time, and what materials are needed."

"As for time, it could be as short as ten years, or as long as a hundred." The Demonic Rune Master was uncertain and wiped cold sweat, "As for materials, it requires the Essence Blood of a Level Thirteen Demonic Dragon, powder from a Level Thirteen Demonic Dragon Demon Core, tree sap from a Level Thirteen demonic plant, Black Gold Divine Iron..."

The Demonic Rune Master reported a string of materials.

Black Feather Demon God’s face grew progressively darker.

These materials are extremely precious, gathering them all would be quite costly.

No wonder Lord Jiuyu hadn’t put this matter on the agenda earlier, likely estimating this situation too. Unfortunately, the current situation in the Demonic Realm is chaotic, and changes can occur at any time. To prevent mishaps, this Signal Tower must be repaired.

"Alright, I understand." Black Feather Demon God waved, "You draft a materials list for me, I will find a way. You just focus on studying the repair plan properly. If you need manpower, you can directly ask. I require the Signal Tower to be repaired in the shortest possible time. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The subordinate understands. The subordinate will give their all." The Demonic Rune Master wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly retreated.

Seeing the Demonic Rune Master leave, Black Feather Demon God’s scarlet eyes looked towards the distant starry sky.

This Signal Tower is even more challenging to repair than imagined. I really don’t know how long it will take to complete the task this time.

...

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Jiang Yuling, who had been kicked out of the Carry-on Cave Mansion, patted her somewhat disheveled clothes and couldn’t help but grumble furiously, "What’s the big deal about True Immortal Realm anyway? Who won’t be a True Immortal Realm in the future... driving us out fiercely, as if afraid we’ll seduce Shouzhe and covet treasures, isn’t it just because looking at the Chaos Spirit Stone Shouzhe has?"

Speaking of the Chaos Spirit Stone, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

That’s a Chaos Spirit Stone~ If I could use that Chaos Spirit Stone to assist in cultivation, wouldn’t my cultivation base advance by leaps and bounds?

After all, she is still young with plenty of lifespan to squander, so she doesn’t value Chaos Origin as much.

"Jade Spirit True Monarch." Ji Yueer delicately covered her mouth and giggled, "Do you think she will succeed?"

"She’s just capitalizing on Ruolan’s absence to play the role of a big shot." Jiang Yuling pouted, "Shouzhe can remain unmoved even by young and beautiful girls like me, surely he can hold himself back. Let’s go, go, eat, eat, expense on public funds."

"...?" Ji Yueer was surprised, "Didn’t we just eat before the meeting?"

"I’m hungry from anger..." Jiang Yuling grabbed Ji Yueer, "Come, come, eating well gives the strength to work."

"Count me in." Cai Youdao, who had long been kicked out to guard the door, also eagerly followed.

With such a grand public fund feast, how could Cai Youdao miss out?

Not long after.

The three of them were eating hot pot around a table in the restaurant, the enticing aroma filled the entire place.

They hadn’t had a few bites when Yun Tiange came over muttering under her breath.

After asking the restaurant for a set of bowls and chopsticks, she directly sat down beside the hotpot and began eating fiercely, without saying a word, just eating ferociously.

Jiang Yuling and the other two exchanged glances.

Well, it appears she too failed. She hoped for both the gentleman’s body and the gentleman’s Chaos Spirit Stone. How could things be that easy in this world?

"By the way, Cai Youdao." Yun Tiange spoke up after eating dozens of plates of hotpot meat, finally feeling better with a mind to care about other things, "You’ve been shouting about finding a disciple all day and night, encountering Yuling here, the True Immortal reincarnated, why didn’t you verify carefully? You two have quite similar personalities, what if she is your disciple?"

"No possibility!"

Hearing this, Cai Youdao jumped up as if bitten on the tail, angrily shouting, "I, Cai Youdao, could never have such a shameless, immodest disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuling was also instantly enraged as if her tail had been stepped on, slamming her chopsticks onto the table and retorting furiously, "This wretched and hideous old geezer, could he possibly be my master?!"

"Although my memory fragments regarding my master have not awakened much, only recalling his silhouette, even though it’s just a silhouette, I can discern that he is absolutely a dignified figure with an immortal demeanor, steady and mature, unflappable in the face of disaster. What’s rare is, my master possesses a spirit of sacrifice and dedication, once single-handedly resisting the Master of Calamity and its army, buying time for allied retreat, giving them a chance of survival!"

"What?"

On hearing this, Cai Youdao’s eyes widened instantly, staring incredulously at Jiang Yuling.

"You, you..."

Jiang Yuling felt uneasy under his gaze, a sense of foreboding welled up.

Unconsciously, her previously aggressive posture weakened, feeling inexplicably guilty, "Old man... Why are you looking at me like that?"
