To live in the floods [ floods ]

At the bottom of the East China Sea, the crystal-clear Crystal Palace stands among the white sands. One of the white jade steps extends nine miles from the gate of the palace, laying directly on the bottom of the sea, shining with warm light.

Duobao, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, pinched the water-avoiding formula to divert the water, his slightly fat face was full of seriousness, and he landed lightly on the end of the white jade steps of the Crystal Palace. To show respect, Duobao did not land directly outside the Crystal Palace, but Choose to walk along the white jade steps to the main gate of the Dragon Palace.

One mile away from the main gate of the Dragon Palace, two shrimp soldiers and crab generals stopped Duobao, with two pairs of small mung bean eyes wandering around, holding a spear, and said sharply, "Who is coming, tell me your name!"

Duo Bao raised his jaw slightly, and his tone was full of pride: "Under Tongtian Sect Master, Duo Bao, the second disciple of Jiejiao, is here to pay a visit to the Dragon King of the East China Sea."

He should be proud, Master Tongtian is one of the Sanqing, the supreme sage, and he is Duobao, one of the few inner disciples of the sage Tongtian, with deep heels.But today's dragon clan is no longer the overlord of the prehistoric world during the dragon and phoenix catastrophe. For the weak dragons below, they live in the four seas and barely survive.

A mere Kunpeng, who is not well-known in the Zixiao Palace, can show his power in the North Sea. The sea people in the North Sea all rely on the Kunpeng and ignore the Dragon Clan. In this way, the Dragon Palace in the North Sea still greets Kunpeng with a smile.Not to mention the famous Master Tongtian and the most powerful Jujiao in the prehistoric world today.

Sure enough, the two shrimp soldiers and crab generals immediately changed their attitudes after hearing Duobao's heels, with very flattering smiles on their faces, the shrimp soldiers put away their spears and saluted Duobao with a smile.

"It turns out that the high-ranking student from Jiejiao came to the door, and I asked the real person to follow me to the living room to wait for a while, and I will find the little demon to report to my Dragon King."

He bent down and smiled obsequiously at Duobao, then turned his head and changed into a vicious look, kicked the fish monster guarding the gate, and scolded: "Blind your fish eyes, didn't you see the distinguished guest come to the door? Hurry up and open the front door to welcome the distinguished guests!"

The two fish monsters hurriedly opened the main door, then quickly ducked behind the door and bowed their heads, not daring to lift their heads.

Duobao lowered her eyes slightly, seemingly turning a blind eye to this farce.

In fact, I was quite happy in my heart.Generally speaking, the main entrances of the Taoist palaces of various forces are not open on a daily basis. Walking in and out is always through the side door. Only when there are distinguished guests come to the door, the main entrance will be opened to welcome the distinguished guests to show respect. It seems that the Dragon Clan cuts off their teaching It is very important that this little monster dared to open the front door for him, it must be the Dragon King's usual instructions to him.

Duobao followed Xia Bing all the way to the waiting room on the left side of the main hall of the Dragon Palace. Just as he sat down, a group of slim, smiling mussel girls entered the room with tea cups of snacks, which were placed beside Duobao. After arranging everything on the table, it retreated silently, as if it had never appeared before.

It seems that although the Dragon Clan has fallen, after all, the ancestors were once rich, so there is still some background.Duobao was satisfied and thought to himself that in the future, he could also find some boys in the form of spirit beasts to receive guests in his Taoist palace.

Just, I don't know why.Duobao pursed his lips, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. The actions of Dragon Palace always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.But Duobao can be sure that today is his first visit to Dragon Palace, where does this unreasonable sense of familiarity come from?

Just as his thoughts were rambling, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall and gradually approached.

Ao Guang, who was in the body of a dragon head, laughed loudly, walked up to Duobao with strides like a dragon and a tiger, and bowed to the east without saying a word: "Ao Guang, a dragon clan, pay homage to the sage who reaches the sky."

Afterwards he got up again, happily looked at the confused Duobao and explained: "Xiaolong has always respected the sage Tongtian very much, but he didn't dare to disturb the saint's purity so he didn't dare to go to Golden Turtle Island to pay a visit. It can be regarded as seeing people and thinking about them, let’s pay homage to show my reverence.”

Duobao laughed dryly. This time, he really did not expect the Dragon King of the East China Sea to have such a temperament, modest and introverted. Tianzun's closest relatives couldn't fault it.

But, why is this inexplicable sense of familiarity getting stronger and stronger?

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and then Duobao introduced the topic: "I've heard that there are many treasures in the Dragon Palace. I wonder if the Dragon King would let me exchange some treasures for something useful to me?"

Sure enough, it was because of this, Ao Guang smiled awkwardly, he blamed him when he was young and ignorant, preaching that there were many treasures of the Dragon Clan, which caused constant troubles these years, nine out of ten people who came to the door were for seeking/exchanging treasures/borrowing Bao/Yaobao, of course most of them were sent away by him.

Especially those who think that the dragon clan's decline can push their noses in the face to threaten him to hand over their treasures. The rotten boat still has three catties of nails. Although his dragon clan is in decline, he is not bullied...

"Haha, where did the real person hear the rumors? It seems that someone deliberately provoked the relationship between Honghuang and our Dragon Clan and spread rumors that my Dragon Clan Baoduo, this is really a heart-wrenching statement." Ao Guang's eyes wet, He raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"If the Dragon Clan really has treasures, wouldn't countless great gods in the prehistoric world not know about them? Would they let the treasures stay in the Dragon Clan? It seems that someone deliberately slandered the Dragon Clan..." Ao Guangyi cursed indignantly.

There was a hint of doubt in Duobao's eyes, he endured and endured, but the Dragon King in front of him kept chattering. According to Ao Guang, the Dragon Clan is poor and weak, and the poor seem to have to squat on the side of the road with a bowl to beg for food every day to survive. down the same.

After half a stick of incense, Duobao finally couldn't bear it any longer, and interrupted Ao Guang: "Fellow Daoist Ao Guang, I just want to exchange some treasures for some materials for building a Taoist palace."

Embarrassment flashed across Ao Guang's eyes, he scratched his head, it turned out he didn't come to the door to bully others to "exchange" treasures.

"Well, I did have all kinds of spiritual earth and black iron used to build the Dao Palace before my Dragon Palace..."

Duobao hurriedly said, "I'm willing to exchange some elixir and magic weapon."

"...but not now." Ao Guang's eyes fell on Duobao, and he grinned.

Duobao frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

Ao Guang resumed his smiling face, and rubbed his fingers: "All the materials for the construction of the Dragon Palace were packaged and sold to Fellow Daoist Shangqian a few days ago. Speaking of which, isn't Fellow Daoist Shangqian the senior sister of Fellow Daoist? If you need it, you can go to the fellow Daoist Shangqian to exchange some."

He finally knew where the damned familiarity was coming from.

Duobao gritted his teeth with a black face, damn it, this sly smile, this impeccable etiquette, this hypocritical enthusiasm that is ready to cheat you at any time when it seems enthusiastic.

He should have thought of it a long time ago, isn't this something that Shang Qian's bastard has inherited!

Buying all the building materials of the entire Dragon Palace, Duobao finally figured out why at this moment, from the moment when the leader of Tongtian decided to move, but in just three days, he could spend enough money to teach thousands of disciples to build the Taoist palace. needed materials.

Duobao was not reconciled to asking: "I think the Dragon Clan should still be in charge of the mine veins. I wonder if we can expedite mining for a while to gather some materials?"

Is it really necessary to make him bow his head to Shangqian?Duobao gritted her teeth, her cheeks flushed with shame and anger.

Hearing this, Ao Guang pondered for a moment, just when Duobao raised a little hope, Ao Guang suddenly took out the jade tube from his wide sleeve.

After a long time, he held a jade tube in his hand, half-closed his eyes, calmly said, "I found it."

What did you find?Duobao was puzzled, but his doubts were answered after a while, and his already pale complexion turned blue and purple.

I saw Ao Guang inject a trace of spiritual energy into the jade tube, and a subtitle floated into the air from the jade tube:

[Agreement No. 40 of the mutual wealth agreement between the Dragon Clan and the Longevity Palace: Shangqian is the only exclusive agent and has the exclusive right to all kinds of building materials produced by the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Clan is not allowed to sell by itself or through other agents within a hundred years]

Ao Guang read it aloud word by word, and then looked at Duobao apologetically: "Fellow Daoist, you have also seen that this agreement is certified by the Dao of Heaven, and no one can violate it."

Duobao: "..."

He knows it!He knows it!He knows it!

Duobao forced a smile, bid farewell to Ao, left the Dragon Palace, turned his face away, and fled towards his ashram with an expression of avoiding water.

In 100 years, the flowers will all wither by then.Does he, as the second disciple of Jiejiao, have to wait a hundred years before starting to refine the Dao Palace?Wouldn't that make the Jiejiao disciples see a joke!

A moment later, Duobao rushed into Qilin Cliff with a livid face, throwing down the writing brush spirit treasure and several other magic treasures and elixir in his hand.

"Elder Sister, I'm here to exchange the materials for building the Taoist Palace." Duobao squeezed out the words between his teeth, his eyes drifted away, he didn't dare to look at the money, for fear of seeing the teasing smile on her face.

Shang Qian, however, seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and leaned back on the soft bird down pillow, without even looking at the treasure thrown on the table.

She didn't even take a second look at the Qianhu Bi Lingbao that Shangqian had admired at Duobao when Kunlun Mountain was relocated.

"Actually—" Shangqian looked at the angry Duobao playfully, and deliberately elongated the tone, "The price I said this morning was a preferential price for the first junior and younger sister who came to me to customize the hall."

Duobao took a deep breath: "So?"

Shang Qian felt that she had always been upright. For example, now, she did not detour with Duobao, and said directly and sincerely: "So now it is a different price."

"As the saying goes, the price has increased."

Duobao was out of breath and gritted his teeth: "It's only been a few hours, how did the price increase so quickly?"

"Sigh." Shang Qian sighed very artistically, and looked into the distance, "It's a pity that time is gone forever, and it's only an hour away, and the incense and breath are not the same as before."

Shangqian patted Duobao on the shoulder emotionally: "People always change, and so do prices."

Sit down and start!

Duobao pulled his face. If he hadn't guessed that Shang Qian must be covered with all kinds of spirit treasures that he couldn't deal with, he would have to fight Shang Qian today.

But if he couldn't beat him or couldn't beat him, Duobao could only goug out Shangqian fiercely with his eyes, reach out and take off a magic weapon of a stone bracelet on his hand and throw it on the table.

"Actually, I really like the pot of three-color chrysanthemum you raised." Shang Qian handed out a storage bag and chattered, "Would you like to take a look at my design drawings and decoration team, the design drawings are all from the ancestors of the human race The Chao family drew it by themselves, and the decoration team is the Feng family who are proficient in Nanming Lihuo..."

Duobao snatched the storage bag, and rushed out of Qilin Cliff without even saying goodbye.

That pot of three-color spirit chrysanthemum was the rare spirit chrysanthemum that he cultivated hard for thousands of years. He planted it with his own hands and watered it with his own hands.

His formation is also the same as the Tongtian Sect Master, Duobao snorted softly, his Dao Palace cannot be inferior to those finished products bought by merchants.

Duobao didn't look at the road much while flying fast, and when he realized that he was about to collide with Jin Ling, it was too late to react.

"Ah, Duobao, what are you doing?" Jin Ling held his forehead pitifully.

Duobao twitched the corner of his mouth: "Go back and refine the Dao Palace."

Jin Ling said differently: "You want to refine it yourself? Didn't you buy the master sister's design and hire a construction team?"

"Hmph, I don't need it, and my formation is not necessarily worse than Shang Qian." Duobao stubbornly raised his head.

"What!" Jin Ling raised his voice, and looked at Duobao with pity, "You don't have a Dao Palace designed by Master Youchao, forged by Nanming Lihuo, with 72 additional functions."

"It's so pitiful, Wudang Guiling and I have both, and you are the only inner disciple who doesn't have one. Duobao, don't you have treasures to exchange for? You didn't buy such a unique design."

Jin Ling's tone was full of pity, and the disciples flying around also listened with pricked ears.

For a moment, several pitiful eyes fell on Duobao.

Duobao's face darkened, and he flew away with a cold face.

"Duobao, why are you going?" Jin Ling asked standing behind.

"Go and get the three-color chrysanthemum!" Duobao was furious
