“Didn’t you say you don’t know how that fake imperial cauldron came about?” Zhou Shu said.
He even knew that a large amount of five elements jade was used to forge the fake imperial cauldron. How could he not know how it was forged?
But Zhou Shu didn’t pursue this matter. After all, Yao Buqi was a demon. It was impossible for him to explain everything.
“Does Yao Lian have a void beast?” Zhou Shu said.
Even if he knew a lot of five elements jade was used to forge the fake imperial cauldron, it was useless.
The five elements jade had already been forged into a weapon. It wouldn’t be so easy to extract it.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but it was too troublesome. Where would he find the time to do such a thing?
“Void beast?” Yao Buqi tensed. “Maybe… he does.”
His heart skipped a beat, afraid that Zhou Shu would make him hand over his void beast.
Fortunately, Zhou Shu didn’t mention Yao Buqi’s void beast.
He thought for a moment and then said, “Alright, you can go back. Your news may not be helpful this time, but your attitude is good.
“I can’t set you free, but your treatment will be better. Deputy Pavilion Master, give him more meat for every meal in the future.”
With that, Zhou Shu chased Yao Buqi out.
Yao Buqi wanted to say something else, but Shi Songtao had already dragged him out.
“Yao Buqi, you’d better stop thinking about all that nonsense,” Shi Songtao said. “Be the leader of your miners obediently, and you might survive. Do you think you can fool our pavilion master?
“You heard what the pavilion master said. Unless you take out tens of thousands of kilograms of five elements jade to redeem yourself, stay here obediently.”
A furious expression appeared on Yao Buqi’s face. “Ten thousand kilograms of five elements jade, do you think it’s that easy to obtain?!”
Although the demons of the Demon Realm were not proficient in forging, there were many unique forging materials in the Demon Realm.
Five elements jade was one of them.
Shi Songtao actually didn’t know what the five elements jade was for, but he thought it was a good forging material. Otherwise, the king wouldn’t have asked for it.
Speaking of which, Deputy Pavilion Master Shi really didn’t think much of forging materials that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. He felt that the king wanted too little.
What he didn’t know was that five elements jade was extremely precious even in the Demon Realm.
Just like owning a void beast, wearing a piece of five elements jade was a symbol of status in the Demon Realm. Ordinary demons were not even qualified to come into contact with five elements jade.
In the entire Demon Realm, only a few thousand kilograms of five elements jade were produced in a year.
Tens of thousands of kilograms?
The entire Demon Realm didn’t even have that much five elements jade!
“I can’t be bothered to talk to you!” Yao Buqi rolled his eyes and walked toward his cell without looking at Shi Songtao.
Shi Songtao also rolled his eyes. How can a captive be so unreasonable!
Although Yao Buqi’s information was useless, it still provided Zhou Shu with a warning.
He had a trump card. As a great demon, Yao Lian might have a trump card.
He couldn’t be careless. Before he made a move next time, he had to reach perfection in his divine ability Total Annihilation.
With a hundred times more combat power, even if Yao Lian really had a trump card, he wouldn’t be afraid.
If I have five elements jade, I can consider upgrading the Great Destroyer Sword to earth grade after I perfect Total Annihilation.
The black-grade Great Destroyer Sword had more than a hundred kills, and the conditions for upgrading it had been unlocked. Five elements jade was among the materials needed to upgrade the Great Destroyer Sword to earth grade.
If there’s a chance, I have to snatch that imitation imperial cauldron.
Zhou Shu pondered. Although he wasn’t in a hurry to upgrade the black-grade Great Destroyer Sword to earth grade, five elements jade was something that could only be chanced upon by luck.
It was true that there was no time to break down the imitation imperial cauldron into forging materials on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield. But when the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was over and he returned to the Ten Nations Continent, he would have plenty of time to extract the five elements jade from it.
The Demon Realm is full of good people. Not only do they become miners for me, but they also give me materials. In the end, they even use their lives to earn rewards for me…
Zhou Shu thought for a moment and began to forge the black-grade Great Destroyer Sword again.
No matter what, the most important thing now was to forge the black-grade Great Destroyer Sword first and then raise the realm of his divine ability Total Annihilation to perfection.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed. The Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch was like the eye of a storm. The wind and rain raged outside, but it was calm inside.
As Zhou Shu had expected, the Demon Realm army never attacked.
The great demon Yao Lian never appeared either.
But in the Demon Realm’s camp a hundred kilometers away, the number of Demon Realm soldiers was constantly increasing.
At the same time, the people Meng Bai had sent began to send back good news.
After persistent searching, they finally found some scattered Great Xia soldiers.
And they had come into contact with other nations’ surviving armies.
But because of the distance, most of the survivors had yet to arrive at the camp, so there were still only so many people in the camp.
These days, Meng Bai and the others had not been idle.
As they reinforced the walls of the camp, they were also training their troops.
War had never been a matter of one person. Zhou Shu was in charge of the great demon Yao Lian. As for the other demonic beasts, they had to bear the responsibility. They absolutely couldn’t push everything to Zhou Shu alone!
During this period, Yao Qing had also secretly come a few times.
He had brought all the ore he had excavated with the Cosmic Bangle.
On the last trip, Zhou Shu met him and transferred part of the Heavenly Saber Art to him.
