Chapter 1164: Chapter 368: Fu Tianxiong’s Weak Knees
The most important thing is that one more quota means more income for him.
Not to mention, it’s Zhu Nan who acts as the mediator.
"Thank you, thank you Master Nan, thank you Brother Mu."
"Brother Mu, regarding the ranking issue... rest assured, I can submit seventy percent." Fu Tianxiong hurriedly said.
"Since I have forgiven you, you should naturally be ranked up, but not seventy percent, it’s fifty percent. I treat all of you the same." Mu Rufeng said.
"Thank you, Brother Mu." Fu Tianxiong’s face was filled with joy upon hearing this.
The Mysterious World is just like this; no matter how ferocious the Abnormality, as long as you can bring them benefits and profits, they’d be willing to kneel and call you father.
Even if you are already an existence of the Emperor Sovereign.
"Alright, go ahead and eat, I have to leave for something, Xiao Mu, if you need anything, contact me with the Token I gave you." Zhu Nan said.
"Understood, Master Nan, take care." Mu Rufeng responded.
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Mu Rufeng again inquired Jian Chengsang about the matters of the Sea God Palace.
Meanwhile, he brought the food to the door, eating while listening to Jian Chengsang.
As it turns out, they don’t exactly belong to the Sea God Palace here, but are under its jurisdiction.
The prison they were in, and the mining area outside, were specifically for them to excavate.
As for what the ore was for, Jian Chengsang was not aware. He only heard some rumors that it might be used to build an altar.
Moreover, according to what he knows, the one who has been here the longest is an Emperor Sovereign who came in twenty thousand years ago.
Even their prison had an Emperor Sovereign who came in many years ago, but he didn’t survive and died ten years ago.
However, from the old guy’s mouth, he learned that this mine has seemingly been dug for tens of thousands of years.
Even when the Sea God Palace was in good condition on the Black Sea, they were still mining.
No one knows why after so long, the mine hasn’t been exhausted or why the altar isn’t complete.
Beyond their prison on the outskirts of the Sea God Palace, there’s nothing else.
All the other Abnormalities are inside the Sea God Palace.
As long as one earns the first place in mining, they’re granted the qualification to enter the Sea God Palace once.
No one knows what they’ll encounter inside the Sea God Palace, but without exception, it’s only beneficial and not harmful.
Because every prisoner who enters the Sea God Palace, although unable to speak openly upon returning, their sense of excitement and the strengthened aura cannot be faked.
Since mining takes place every two days, on the following day, they don’t just idle in the prison.
They also have other tasks to do.
Every two days, they must clean the dirty tide once.
So if they mine today, tomorrow they clean the dirty tide, the day after tomorrow they mine again, and the day after that they clean the dirty tide again.
"Dirty tide? What is the dirty tide?" Mu Rufeng asked curiously.
"The dirty tide... it’s a bit easier than mining, but if you’re not careful, you can lose your life."
"Over the tens of thousands of years, countless strong individuals have entered here, yet only so few of us remain. In truth, most people die under the dirty tide."
"Of course, as long as you act cautiously, and most importantly don’t be greedy, the danger will be greatly reduced." Jian Chengsang said.
"I see." Mu Rufeng nodded slightly.
Then Mu Rufeng asked about some internal situations in the Sea God Palace.
However, Jian Chengsang, in this regard, was completely clueless because he never won first place, so he never got to go.
He also thought about secretly storing ore daily for hundreds or thousands of years, to compete for first place once.
But he couldn’t save up because he still needed to use the ore to exchange for Elixirs or Spiritual Objects, Spiritual Medicines, even food, etc., to recover his strength.
If not for this, his Cultivation would have long fallen to the Emperor Sovereign Early Stage.
Mu Rufeng then asked how one could enter the Sea God Palace.
Jian Chengsang gave the answer: first, you need to win first place in mining, then, on the first day of each month, they go to the Sea God Palace together.
Another way is that during the dirty tide, catching a Divine Pig allows you to go to the Sea God Palace the next day.
Of course, the above two situations only grant the qualification to enter, and they must come out the day after entering.
As for how to enter the Sea God Palace permanently or for the long term, he didn’t know, but there were rumors, though most have been proven false.
"Alright, I’ve shared everything I know. If there’s anything else you want to ask, ask now, and then I’ll talk about the outside situation." Jian Chengsang said.
"I have nothing else to ask for now, so let me tell you about the changes outside." Mu Rufeng began to speak.
Upon hearing this, the people around immediately listened attentively, evidently very eager to know about the changes in the outside world.
After all, they had stayed here for far too long.
Among them, it wasn’t Jian Chengsang who had been here the longest but another Emperor Sovereign, who had been here for eight thousand years, and his power had fallen from Emperor Sovereign Peak to Emperor Sovereign Early Stage.
His body was relatively thin, but not as skinny as Jian Chengsang, looking somewhat normal.
The one who’d been here the shortest, not counting Mu Rufeng, was a Level 9 Ghost Emperor who arrived over a hundred years ago.
Through this Ghost Emperor, they also learned about the situations of the Mysterious World back then, which was quite astonishing too.
