"Do I need to explain it to you?" A cold and emotionless voice came from the Treasure Distribution Rock.
"Of course you don't have to explain it to me, Senior. But I'm still not convinced!" the unconvinced martial artist said loudly. "Even if we are intimidated by you and don't dare to snatch the divine weapons, can you protect them after they leave this place?"
He pointed at the second lucky person kneeling on the ground. "Such a despicable person can't defend himself even with a connate divine weapon!"
"It's not up to you to decide if he's a despicable person or not.
"I don't have to explain anything to anyone.
"Remember, I said that my connate divine weapons belong to whomever I give them. If I don't give one to you, no one can snatch them. Otherwise, I'll kill you without mercy.
"If you're confident that you can escape my pursuit, feel free to make a move."
In the air, Ji Lutian shook his head slightly. Zhou Shu is still a little young and impetuous. Won't he offend everyone by saying that?
As expected, the martial artists around the Treasure Distribution Rock all looked indignant.
At this moment, human nature was undoubtedly revealed. It was not a matter of scarcity but of inequality.
Although the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock was giving out connate divine weapons for free, he gave them out to whomever he wanted.
But there were too many boats chasing too few fish. Those who obtained connate divine weapons were naturally extremely grateful, but those who didn't would inevitably feel resentful.
They had forgotten that these connate divine weapons had nothing to do with them from the start.
Just as Ji Lutian was wondering when the martial artists below would be unable to suppress their anger, he heard the extremely cold voice from the Treasure Distribution Rock continue.
"There are countless connate divine weapons in my Treasure Distribution Rock. If anyone is sincere, they can come to the Treasure Distribution Rock to ask for divine weapons.
"But after taking my connate divine weapons, you have to do something for me to offset the price of the divine weapons."
"What does Senior want us to do? We are willing to do it!" shouted all the martial artists.
As long as there was hope of obtaining a connate divine weapon, their original evil thoughts would naturally dissipate.
If they could obtain a connate divine weapon openly, who would be willing to kill for it?
Ji Lutian was slightly stunned. Zhou Shu was really unrestrained. He hadn't expected this.
As soon as he said this, the agitation of the crowd dissipated.
As long as they had the chance to obtain a connate divine weapon, not only would these martial artists not oppose the Treasure Distribution Rock, but they would even protect it with all their might!
Zhou Shu actually resolved the crisis so easily. Ji Lutian sighed.

"Demon Executing, Fiend Eradication!"
The voice continued to come from the Treasure Distribution Rock. No one knew where the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock was on the mountain.
"Senior, can you be clearer?" the unconvinced martial artist said. "What can we do in exchange for a connate divine weapon?"
"Your courage is commendable. I'll give you a connate divine weapon."
A beam of light flew out from the Treasure Distribution Rock, landed in the hands of the unconvinced martial artist, and turned into a long saber.
"This is the Snow-Drinking Rampant Saber. If you can use this saber to kill a thousand demonic beasts above the third rank of the Martial Dao in a year, this saber will be yours. If you can't accomplish it, send this saber back to the Treasure Distribution Rock, or I'll personally take action to take back the saber. In that case, I will take your life too."
"Kill a thousand demonic beasts above the third rank in a year?" The martial artist frowned.
It was true that he was a second-rank martial artist. If he held a connate divine weapon, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill third-rank or even second-rank demonic beasts.
But killing a thousand demons in a year meant he would have to kill two or three on average a day. He might not be able to do it even if he did nothing but kill demons every day.
"Hey, if you don't dare, I'll do it!" a man beside him said enviously. If he had known earlier, he would have questioned the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock just now.
The unconvinced martial artist came to a decision. He gritted his teeth. "Senior, I agree! I want this Snow-Drinking Rampant Saber!"
He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. It was just a thousand demonic beasts above the third rank of the Martial Dao.
Even if he didn't eat or drink, he had to complete the task!
He grabbed the Snow-Drinking Rampant Saber and cupped his hands at the Treasure Distribution Rock. Then he left without looking back, heading toward the gap in the barrier between the two worlds.
This man was straightforward.
This was a small interlude. The second lucky person was still kneeling on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, waiting for the answer from the Treasure Distribution Rock.
"If you want to repay me, then go slay demons like him." The voice came from the Treasure Distribution Rock again. "I don't need dogs. Kill ten thousand demonic beasts of any cultivation. After that, we'll be even."
The second lucky person kneeling on the ground was stunned. It was a thousand just now, but it's ten thousand now?
But there was no time limit nor requirement for the minimum cultivation for these 10,000 demonic beasts. It was much easier than killing 1,000 demonic beasts above the third rank.
The second lucky person kowtowed a few more times before getting up and leaving without looking back. He also headed for the gap.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jiping, Tang Qianluo, and the others were dumbfounded.
Originally, according to their plan, after the Treasure Distribution Rock distributed the weapons, they would think of a way to get those who had obtained connate divine weapons to go to the Demon Realm to investigate the situation of the demonic beasts.
But now, they didn't need to force them. The people who had obtained connate divine weapons would go to the Demon Realm to kill demons themselves.
What was this?
It made the strategy they had planned completely useless.
They looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Although the outcome was similar, it gave them the feeling that they had done so much for nothing.
"Say, the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock is so concerned about the human race. In order to kill demonic beasts, he doesn't care about personal gains and losses at all. He's giving out priceless connate divine weapons just like that," a grotto-heaven leader said. "Aren't we too heartless to scheme against such a person?"
Everyone fell silent.
"Everyone, we've always thought of ourselves as protecting the human race. If we still scheme against this person, are we still human?
"Brother Zhang, if that's what you want, then I'll withdraw," the grotto-heaven's leader said seriously.
Zhang Jiping smiled bitterly. Why do you make it sound like I'm a bad person? I'm not.
"I didn't expect the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock to be so selfless. For the sake of the human race, he isn't calculative even with priceless connate divine weapons. This is something even our grotto-heavens can't do.
"If we scheme against this person again, we'll really be worse than pigs and dogs."
Ji Lutian was dumbfounded. Zhou Shu convinced Zhang Jiping and the others with just a few words?
This is really…
Ji Lutian didn't know how Zhou Shu's thinking worked. It seemed that he could come up with one plan after another, but they had such unbelievable effects. It was really beyond his imagination.
Even if he thought again from the beginning, he couldn't figure out how this had happened.
"Everyone, I'm wondering if we are too selfish compared to this selfless person," Zhang Jiping said in a low voice. "Now that the Demon Realm army is pressing down, our human race is facing the crisis of collapsing. If we continue like this, won't the human race be in danger?
"The owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock can selflessly offer his connate divine weapons. Shouldn't we do something?"
Zhang Jiping said passionately, "Although we don't have that many connate divine weapons, we can contribute a portion of the forging materials. Defeating demonic beasts is a common goal for humans. We can't let the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock contribute alone.
"I have decided that our Xuande Grotto-Heaven will give the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock a million kilograms of forging materials for free!"
