122: Qingyang
Returning to the rendezvous point with Qingtian, Qingyang didn't manage to glean any information about the other party's strength or realm, but he did get news that would be extremely useful to Ba Qing and the others on Blue Star.
Blue Star's zhen crystal tide is about to appear.
Blue Star's tide usually erupts from the 108 channels about a year after the Inner Realm's energy crystal storm.
Upon hearing this news, Qingyang immediately thought of the message he should convey this time.
However, due to the remaining few months until the year limit and Liu Jian and the others having varying degrees of injuries, Qingyang could only give up and wait for everyone to recover.
...
...
Blue Star, Ge Xing Islands.
On this day, Qian Hao from the Zhouguang Special Zone sent a message saying that a person claiming to be Qingyang's grandfather wanted to come and find his grandson's wife.
Regarding whether Qingyang had a grandfather, let alone Ba Qing and the others, even Shen Ying herself wasn't sure.
But the other party claimed to be Qingyang's only living relative in the world, and after learning that Qingyang had found a wife, his only granddaughter-in-law in the world, the other party insisted on coming to the Ge Xing Islands to find Shen Ying.
As the granddaughter-in-law, Shen Ying couldn't refuse and could only agree.
So, two days later, as a white-haired Old Man, who, despite his age, was full of vigor, stepped onto the Ge Xing Islands and made his way to the core, climbing to the peak of the mountain to meet Shen Ying, Shen Ying was stunned.
Because the other party looked at least five parts similar to Qingyang; Shen Ying wouldn't believe he wasn't Qingyang's grandfather.
"Is this my good granddaughter-in-law? Grandpa has been looking for you so hard. Why are you living in this remote, impoverished mountain village? No way, Grandpa must pass down all our family's craftsmanship to you."
The Old Man, who called himself Qing Yao, seemed to be used to grand occasions; neither the massive ice block of Qingyang's body next to Shen Ying nor Ba Qing, Little Luan, Xuan Ming, and the others, shrunken countless times in the distance, attracted the Old Man's attention.
For this biological grandfather of Qingyang, the only thing Shen Ying could do was fulfill her duty as a granddaughter-in-law.
Thus, in the following days, a strange scene appeared by the water pool.
An Old Man was teaching a woman how to weave hemp, hand in hand.
Yes, it was hemp clothing, a very old, even obsolete, craft.
To make Grandpa happy, Shen Ying learned very hard, but always remained clumsy.
It wasn't until a few days later, when this Old Man named Qing Yao personally wove a hemp vest, and the vest, woven by a Human with no energy at all, clearly not a Spirit User Organization,
appeared with astonishing defensive power, capable of withstanding attacks from a third-tier Spirit User Organization at least, that Shen Ying, Ba Qing, and the others were shocked.
Imagine, an ordinary person with no energy around him can create a vest with such astonishing defensive power, but what if it were a Spirit User Organization?
Thinking of this, Shen Ying became serious for the first time, no longer treating it as a game just to make Grandpa happy.
However, Qing Yao seemed to have woven hemp clothing his entire life; every time Shen Ying tried to infuse her energy into a stitch or thread, she was immediately interrupted by Qing Yao.
"Child, you can't get fat with one bite. Grandpa knows you are all those Spirit User Organizations, but what Grandpa wants to tell you is that only by learning to walk can you try to run.
Before you have completely learned to weave hemp, you are not allowed to use your superpowers, understood?"
Facing an ordinary Old Man with no energy around him, Shen Ying couldn't muster any thought of resistance.
Weaving hemp was divided into various methods: inner weaving, outer weaving, Yin-Yang weaving, hidden weaving, making Shen Ying's head spin.
This day, just as Shen Ying was diligently weaving hemp and Ba Qing and the others were lounging nearby, Qing Yao, who was seriously teaching Shen Ying stitch by stitch, suddenly turned his head and looked at the giant black dragon ice sculpture next to Shen Ying.
A moment later, the giant black dragon's body, just like in previous years, suddenly let out a bout of ventriloquism.
"Spiritual Tide is coming, channels erupting, snatch resources."
It was still just eleven short words, but they made Ba Qing suddenly stand up, his eyes fixed on the calm water pool.
Regarding Qingyang, Ba Qing knew that he wouldn't speak nonsense, so this matter was 100% true.
Everyone present had seen zhen crystal, so how to collect these erupting zhen crystal was a problem.
Thus, Ba Qing called Mao Qiu, Yin Li, and the others together and began to discuss what should be done.
Looking at this irregular circular water pool with a diameter of five hundred meters, the Divine Beasts spoke one after another, but they couldn't come up with a solution.
Because no one knew how powerful the eruption of zhen crystal would be, whether everyone could catch them, and so on.
But just then, Qing Yao, this ordinary person, suddenly looked at the surrounding scene, which resembled a zoo, and said: "Does anyone know how to fish? I mean,
making a large enough net to cover it should be fine, right?"
His words awakened the dreaming beasts; the many Divine Beasts present widened their eyes and looked at Qing Yao.
Qing Yao, on the other hand, didn't care at all, continuing to turn back and look down at Shen Ying, appearing indifferent.
Regarding the matter of a giant net, Ba Qing immediately thought of the eleventh-tier Green Silk Ancient Spider from Germany.
After a simple discussion with the Divine Beasts, Ba Qing immediately stepped into the sea and headed to Germany.
After promising the Green Silk Ancient Spider a certain amount of resources, the other party was very generous and directly wove fifteen large nets for Ba Qing.
Furthermore, under Ba Qing's subtle hint, the Green Silk Ancient Spider also specially wove the nets to resemble jellyfish, according to Ba Qing's request.
With everything ready, the next step was to arrange how to control this large net.
Finally, after deliberation, Ba Qing, Xuan Ming, Little Luan, and Golden Pixiu, the four strongest Divine Beasts, each controlled one of the four corners.
As for Mao Qiu and the others, they were also scattered in various places, ready at any moment.
On Shen Ying's side, after so many days of learning, she had now largely mastered inner weaving and outer weaving, but she was stuck on Yin-Yang weaving.
To make Shen Ying less impatient, Qing Yao somehow produced a strange chessboard from somewhere.
A normal chessboard has 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces, totaling 361 pieces.
But the game Qing Yao taught Shen Ying had 134 white pieces, and the same number of black pieces.
Shen Ying's game of chess with Qing Yao made Ba Qing somewhat anxious and uneasy.
In Ba Qing's words, people who play chess have dirty hearts.
To avoid seeing it and feeling annoyed, Ba Qing immediately left the area and went to live on the inner west island.
As for Little Luan and Xuan Ming, their minds also began to become restless with each game Shen Ying and Qing Yao played.
It was as if those ordinary chess pieces were controlling their own lives.
In contrast, Golden Pixiu watched with great interest.
But it wasn't until Qing Yao took out the 135th piece that Golden Pixiu ran away on the spot.
