409: Why does this bird have only one leg?

Chapter 409: Why Does This Bird Only Have One Leg?

Hearing this, Wu Xian and the other two fell silent.

As the saying goes, a big forest has all kinds of birds.

In life, one must learn to adapt to and accept the diversity of the world.

It's like those people in his previous life who were still dreaming of the Great Qing Dynasty; when there are many people, a few idiots are bound to pop up.

"Do you know exactly who the other party is?" Wu Xian pressed.

"The transaction was quite secretive, so I'm not entirely sure," Ma Tengyun said, "but with the capabilities of my Wanrong Chamber of Commerce, we can still piece together some clues and get a general idea. In the future, doing business with those people will naturally change and adjust accordingly.

But speaking of which, Brother Wu, you truly don't have such intentions?"

"Don't worry~ I'm only interested in the divine power templates in the Upper Realm," Wu Xian explained with a light chuckle, "After all, those divine power templates are essentially a type of scroll concept."

Ma Tengyun suddenly understood. "I'll have someone deliver the remaining goods to you later. As for the price, consider it the final payment for the subsequent gold scrolls, how about that?"

"Sounds good." Wu Xian nodded cheerfully.

After all, Ma Tengyun had paid him half of the deposit upfront, and that deposit alone was worth the price.

They continued to chat casually along the way, and both sides gradually became more familiar with each other.

Ma Tengyun also began to plan on collecting Xue Lingling and Tang Beng's works.

It was rare to encounter such a high-quality client, so Xue Lingling and Tang Beng naturally wouldn't refuse. They haggled over prices along the way and had a very pleasant conversation.

"By the way, Brother Wu, I see you're quite close with that girl named Shi Weier. Could you help me get in touch with her?" Ma Tengyun's tone shifted. "I think that girl's scrolls are also quite good and worth adding to my collection."

"I did exchange contact information before leaving," Wu Xian nodded and smiled. "I'll ask her for you."

It must be said, Young Master Ma's taste is quite good.

Jokingly, he sent Shi Weier a WeChat message, explaining Ma Tengyun's situation and request.

When Shi Weier left Mechanical City earlier, he had specifically chatted with her, hoping to get her to join his Club.

However, the girl had already established her own Club, and its current development was only slightly behind the Underworld Club.

The Club's name was also quite profound, called the [Atrium Club].

Although he couldn't recruit her, forming an Alliance in the future was still possible. He could later approach her through the Azure Tree King to strengthen their relationship.

The future development of Shi Weier's side would definitely involve the Azure Tree King, this 'World Tree sapling'.

But speaking of which, has Shi Weier already communicated with the Azure Tree King?

After all, with the quality of Shi Weier's scrolls, if she were to enter the Hero Tower for trials, she would immediately attract the attention of the Four Great True Gods.

So, through the divine scroll of Jianmu, he subtly inquired about it.

The Azure Tree King had indeed noticed Shi Weier, but had not paid special attention to her.

From this, it can be seen that the Azure Tree King had not yet realized that Shi Weier's series of scrolls had a certain connection to him, and Shi Weier might not even know that the Azure Tree King was a 'World Tree sapling'.

He would 'play matchmaker' for them later, creating a good connection.

"Did the God of Mechanical Creation really severely wound the Heavens?" the Azure Tree King asked, seizing the opportunity.

Now that the news of the Gate of Creation had spread throughout the streets, as long as the Four Great True Gods weren't foolish, they could all guess that the previous anomaly in the Divine Domain came from the God of Mechanical Creation in the Mechanical Divine Domain.

"That's right, but whether it was a severe injury is uncertain."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder there have been so many anomalies in the various Otherworlds recently," the Azure Tree King seemed somewhat excited, yet also a little worried. "If there are no surprises, the Heavens must have been severely wounded."

"Anomalies everywhere?" Wu Xian frowned.

"The Law and order of various Otherworlds have experienced a certain degree of chaos, and the probability of anomalies and chaos among Otherworld creatures has sharply increased," the Azure Tree King explained.

Wu Xian clicked his tongue and nodded, saying no more.

Time flowed on.

Unknowingly, the two divine ships had already left the Mechanical Wasteland and entered the Exotic Beast Realm.

"I heard the Exotic Beast Realm has been a bit restless lately. Are you sure you want to go through the Exotic Beast Realm?" Ma Tengyun hesitated.

"If we don't go through the Exotic Beast Realm, it will take at least four more days of travel."

"Uh, then let's go through the Exotic Beast Realm. Let the danger be dangerous then." Ma Tengyun secretly felt helpless.

Little did he know, Wu Xian's trip was specifically aimed at the Exotic Beast Realm, planning to directly reach the Exotic Beast Realm dimensional node in Tianfeng Province. This would shorten the journey by a day and also allow him to collect some Materials from the Exotic Beast Realm and investigate the unusual Condition there.

After finally creating the Mythical Fire Bird, he naturally wanted to come to the Exotic Beast Realm and show off.

What's more, with the Twenty-Eight Mansions divine scroll now backed by the Holy Spirit Divine Domain, plus the Mechanical Dao Ancestor, a powerful weapon, safety was greatly guaranteed.

Thus, the two divine ships majestically sailed into the dimensional rift of the Exotic Beast Realm ahead.

Space twisted, and they appeared in the familiar Exotic Beast Realm.

However, compared to before, the current Exotic Beast Realm was clearly shrouded in an atmosphere of unease.

Outside the dimensional rift's control zone, the number of local adventurers had significantly decreased, and many adventurers were discussing the recent unusual restlessness of the Exotic Beast Realm.

Inside the Exotic Beast Realm, there were practically no other adventurers or passersby.

Those who could detour had already done so.

Only those Scroll Masters and Spirit Masters with true strength dared to enter the Exotic Beast Realm.

"I saw online that in just a few days, many Club outposts in the Exotic Beast Realm were wiped out by beast tides," Ma Tengyun frowned. "And it's not just one area; many Exotic Beast Realm areas have experienced anomalies, and this situation is still spreading throughout the entire Exotic Beast Realm."

"Who cares? Let's hunt down some valuable Materials first!"

Wu Xian didn't care about these things. With a slight movement of his mind, the mythical fire bird Bi Fang soared up in a dangerous-looking flame divine light and flew beside the luo feng vessel.

It is worth mentioning that Bi Fang's bird call is quite distinctive, being its own name.

Of course, it doesn't directly call out "Bi Fang ~ Bi Fang," but rather a bird call onomatopoeia similar to the two characters "Bi Fang."

It's just like the cuckoo's "cuckoo, cuckoo" call.

In addition, the flames on Bi Fang's body also occasionally emitted a "crackling" sound similar to burning firewood, giving people a sense of ominousness and danger.

"Eh? Brother Wu, why does this fire bird only have one leg?" Ma Tengyun was attracted by Bi Fang. "Did you forget to draw it?"

"Is it possible that in my concept, it just has one leg?" Wu Xian responded with a light laugh.

"Alright," Ma Tengyun was speechless. "No, wait, the aura of this fire bird, is it actually a jade scroll? Why haven't I seen Brother Wu release it before? Was it the fire bird released during the unveiling ceremony?"

"Didn't you see it's only five stars?" Tang Beng teased. "It's clearly a new work."

"A new work?" Ma Tengyun instantly became interested. "Brother Wu's new work must be extraordinary. It's not too much to pre-order a gold scroll, is it?"

"Haha, easy, easy."

Shifu-jie also exclaimed in wonder, "Is this what you made using the great demon core that Her Highness the Goddess helped you hunt? It feels a bit different from your usual scroll style?"

Wu Xian smiled without speaking; he never had a fixed style.

"Her Highness the Goddess helped hunt?" Ma Tengyun exclaimed in surprise. "Speaking of which, Brother Wu, what's your relationship with Her Highness the Goddess? No, wait, why didn't you come to me for this 'hiring a killer' business?"

"Your side is too expensive, I can't afford it." Wu Xian responded jokingly.

"If you think it's expensive, we can discuss it!"
