Chapter 873 Return to Middle-earth
Three days passed in a flash.
On this day, Duan Qing was practicing in the room when the door was suddenly knocked.
"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, please come in." Duan Qing opened the door and invited Gongsun Long to come in with a smile.
Gongsun Long was not polite and walked into the room directly.
Duan Qing closed the door and looked at Gongsun Long: "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, what do you want to see Duan?"
Gongsun Long seemed to be in a good mood and smiled: "Haha, can't you come to see Fellow Daoist Duan if you have nothing to do?"
Duan Qing was speechless. Gongsun Long was joking.
Before Duan Qing could speak, Gongsun Long continued, "I will be returning to the Middle Earth soon. I didn't expect that I still owe you a piece of mechanical armor, so I came to make up for it."
Duan Qing suddenly realized, "You are too polite, Gongsun Daoist!"
"Our friendship is friendship, but we still have to settle the account!"
After that, Gongsun Long took out a metal ball and handed it to Duan Qing, "Please accept it, Daoist Duan."
Duan Qing didn't intend to take it, but lowered his head and pondered.
Gongsun Long was puzzled when he saw this: "Why, is there anything wrong?"
Duan Qing shook his head: "To be honest, I have a request and want to discuss it with fellow Daoist Gongsun. If I offend you, please forgive me."
Gongsun Long was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Fellow Daoist Duan, please feel free to talk!"
Duan Qing said seriously: "To be honest with fellow Daoist Gongsun, I have been fascinated by your sect's Thousand Machine Disk after seeing it in the Shuiyue Cemetery last time!"
"If fellow Daoist Gongsun Long is willing to show me the method of refining the Thousand Machine Disk, then we will be even on this matter of the mechanism armor, how about it?"
"Even if I have to pay an extra price, I have no complaints."
"Of course, I also know that the Thousand Machine Disk is a secret of your sect, and I will never force it."
In fact, he had wanted to mention this matter to Gongsun Long a long time ago, but he had never found a good opportunity.
A set of Lingbao-level mechanical armor is certainly valuable, but he asked himself that for him now, compared with the mechanical armor, the Thousand Machine Disk is more attractive.
In terms of formation, it is one of his biggest shortcomings at present. With the Thousand Machine Disk, it will undoubtedly make up for this shortcoming and will not be trapped in the wasteland of Yunzhou again.
After listening to Duan Qing's request, Gongsun Long looked embarrassed: "This matter is too important, please forgive me for not being able to make a decision!"
Duan Qing was not surprised: "No problem, Duan also knows that this matter is a bit difficult."
Gongsun Long pondered for a while: "How about this, I will go back and ask the sect master for instructions on this matter, and then give Duan Daoyou a reply, how about it?"
Duan Qing showed a happy face: "Thank you very much, Gongsun Daoyou!"
After that, the two chatted for a while, and Gongsun Long said goodbye and left.
Gongsun Long left for a full seven days.
Until the dragon boat docked at the coast of Kaizhou, Gongsun Long never came to see him again.
It seems that this matter is mostly a failure!
Although Duan Qing felt a little disappointed about this, he didn't care much.
After all, the Thousand Machine Disk was a secret of the Tiangong Sect. It was not easy for him, an outsider, to obtain the method of refining the Thousand Machine Disk.
As soon as the dragon boat docked, people from the major sects left in a hurry.
Because of the advent of the Red Meteor, many sects returned to the Middle Earth in advance. Compared with the time when they came, the number of people on the return voyage was obviously much smaller, and it looked deserted.
After Duan Qing left the dragon boat with his master Mu Yu and others, he prepared to rush to Kaiwu City.
"Daoyou Duan, wait!"
At this time, Gongsun Long in the crowd of Tiangong Sect suddenly called Duan Qing.
Duan Qing stopped and waited for Gongsun Long.
Mu Yu and others just glanced at Gongsun Long and left first.
Gongsun Long ran towards Duan Qing quickly and took out a jade slip and handed it to Duan Qing.
"This jade slip, I hope Daoyou Duan will not show it to others!"
Duan Qing took the jade slip and was very surprised.
"Don't worry, Daoist Gongsun. Duan will never pass it on to others."
How could he not know what Gongsun Long meant?
The Tiangong Sect was willing to pass on the Thousand Machine Plate to him, which was already a great compromise. How could they tolerate him passing it on to others?
Gongsun Long thought about it and said to Duan Qing, "By the way, my Tiangong Sect is in a turbulent time. I'm afraid I can't get away in a short time. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Daoist Duan to run alone for what Senior Mo Xun has told me to do."
"Of course!" Duan Qing agreed directly.
Gongsun Long nodded, said nothing more, and turned away.
Duan Qing put away the jade slip solemnly and chased after Mu Yu and his group.
Seeing Duan Qing catching up, Xue Wanyun couldn't help asking, "Stupid fool, what did Gongsun Long give you?"
Duan Qing smiled and didn't respond.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Xue Wanyun pursed her lips and was too lazy to ask any more questions.
After leaving the dragon boat, the group, led by Mu Yu, flew towards Kaizhou Kaiwu City, preparing to teleport back to Shenzhou Gupan City from Kaiwu City.
In this Xianlong Conference, the Shinto Sect can be said to have reaped a lot.
According to Yu Ya, in the Xianlong Secret Realm, he and Yang Huang got a total of 18 Daolong Fruits.
Including the two given to Mu Yu by Duan Qing, the Shinto Sect harvested a total of 20 Daolong Fruits this time.
Such a result is definitely enough to rank among the top in countless Xianlong Conferences.
You should know that there are only 11 Daolong trees in the Xianlong Secret Realm, and each Daolong tree bears nine Daolong fruits, which adds up to only 99.
However, in all the Xianlong Conferences, at least the seven major sects in the Central Plains and the eight parties of Xianlong Island participated. It is not easy for the Shinto Sect to get 20 Daolong Fruits alone, accounting for 20% of them.
What's more, this Xianlong Conference was full of twists and turns. As far as Duan Qing knew, two of the eleven Daolong trees were destroyed.
One was destroyed by Yang Mian of Hehuan Sect, and the other was destroyed by his thunder method.
The Daolong fruits on these two Daolong trees were not preserved.
Therefore, the Daolong fruits that were actually preserved in this Xianlong Conference should be at most 81.
The Shinto Sect got nearly 40% of them.
Of course, more importantly, compared with other sects, the candidates of the Shinto Sect who participated in the Xianlong Conference did not suffer any loss.
As for other sects, regardless of how many Daolong fruits they harvested, they all suffered heavy losses.
As far as Duan Qing knew, He Qing and Yang Mian of Hehuan Sect died tragically.
One person was injured in the Five Elements Sect, and Luo Renjie had one hand cut off by him.
Gongsun Hu and Gongsun Xiang of Tiangong Sect died in infighting.
Ouyang Yubo of Wuxiang Sect was killed by him.
The puppet brother of Taihuang Sect Zhaixing was destroyed by the heavenly punishment of him and his senior brother Yu Ya.
Except for Tang Tuo and Ao Suxian, the other five people from Xianlong Island were killed, which can be said to be the party with the most casualties in this Xianlong Conference.
As for the Huanjian Sect, Duan Qing did not meet anyone from beginning to end, and he did not know how many casualties there were.
Of course, if we talk about who is the biggest winner of this Xianlong Conference, it is probably Meng Zhuang.
Meng Zhuang got the extremely precious True Dragon Fruit. This item alone is probably far more than the twenty Daolong Fruits of the Shendao Sect.
Compared with Meng Zhuang, his own gains are also remarkable.
Huanyi Butterfly absorbed part of the True Dragon Fruit, the Star Crushing Stone, the Void Hat, the method of refining the small teleportation array disk, and the method of refining the Thousand Machine Disk that he had just obtained.
Most of these things have little impact on his strength for the time being, and he still needs time to slowly digest them.
