Chapter 52: War Bones Pledge
"This is mine! It helps me see the moon more clearly!"Fairy Haoyue kicked around while holding the Sky-Seeing Mirror. It was a pity that even though she was a powerful saint, she could only be controlled by Lu Li like a powerless child in this teahouse.
Lu Li hooked his finger and the Sky-Seeing Mirror flew out from Fairy Haoyue's arms and landed in his hands.
The Sky-peeking Mirror was only the size of a palm and was green in color. As soon as it entered Lu Li's hand, it immediately vibrated, trying to break free from his restraints and return to Fairy Haoyue.
Lu Li was not only surprised:
"In just a short while, this sacred vessel has already recognized you as its master?"
The holy vessel has a spirit, and if you want to unleash its full power, you must obtain the permission of the holy vessel.
If it is not recognized, the holy weapon can only exert a part of its power, or even refuse to respond.
For example, Su Huanzhen's Bingluan Sword had been inserted in the Tianlian Pond for hundreds of years and no one could pull it out until Su Huanzhen appeared and pulled out the Bingluan Sword, shocking all the heroes and becoming the master of the Tianlian Pond.
Fairy Haoyue said:
"Of course. That Zhao doesn't understand its wonderful use at all. How can this mirror listen to him?"
Lu Li had no choice but to throw the Sky-Viewing Mirror back.
Fairy Haoyue ran away angrily with her cheeks puffed up, and Lu Li called Zhan Gu to the hut in the backyard.
"gentlemen!"
Zhan Gu knelt down with a thud, his eyes revealing a strong anticipation.
Lu Li glanced at him, took out the "Five Element Breaking Tribulation Pill", and said:
"Zhan Gu, you completed my task, which really makes me happy."
"But you have to think before doing anything next time, okay?"
Lu Li's voice was somewhat cold, and at the same time he used the power of the teahouse to release some pressure, causing Zhan Gu's expression to change drastically, and sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
He finally reacted and said:
"Could it be that Shopkeeper Zhao has bad intentions?!"
Zhan Gu immediately prostrated himself on the ground, his entire body shaking like a sieve:
"It was my negligence. I shouldn't have brought him here so lightly. Please punish me, sir!"
Lu Li put his hands behind his back, put away his pressure, and sighed:
"Wrong again! The teahouse is right here. Even if you don't bring it, they can find it."
"I'm angry that you brought someone to my doorstep but didn't notice anything unusual. Humph, Zhao Qian must have noticed you a long time ago and gained your trust."
"I value your experience in the way of magic, but now you are so careless, how can I entrust you with important tasks in the future?"
"How can you say that you have reached a higher level?"
Zhan Gu clenched his fists. He carefully looked up at the pill in Lu Li's hand, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:
"Then please remember Zhan Gu's mistake for now. If he makes the same mistake again, Zhan Gu will be at your disposal!"
"I swear on my heart that I will always be at your side, Master, and serve you like a dog and a horse!"
Lu Li stared at him for a long time before handing him the pill:
"Take it, hurry up and refine the medicinal power. I will protect you."
……
The next morning, people from the Dongyuan countries discovered something new: they saw something called newspapers on their own book stalls.
A man picked up a few pages of the Teahouse Daily and asked curiously:
"Is this how you sell books? Aren't you just fooling people with these few pages?"
The people around also echoed the sentiment, thinking that this bookseller was truly a vicious person.
The bookseller chuckled and rubbed his hands as he explained:
"Brother, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry." "This Teahouse Daily serializes the latest Biography of the Great Love Immortal. Usually when you come to buy Biography of the Immortal, you always complain that you have to spend a lot of money to buy the previous content, but that is due to the cost. Now it's good, this Teahouse Daily only costs two cents!"
Many people nodded immediately after hearing the price:
"It used to cost at least ten cents to buy the entire volume of The Biography of the Great Love Immortal. Now it seems a lot cheaper. It's really worth it!"
But some people were still dissatisfied and shouted:
"Bullshit! Two cents for a few pieces of scrap paper. What's the point?"
The bookseller continued:
"You're wrong. Even though this newspaper only has a few pages, it's printed on oiled paper, which makes it easier to preserve than ordinary books! We only make back our investment if we sell it for two cents!"
"And, guest, look at the layout and printing of this newspaper. It's so exquisite! I want to frame it at home!"
Someone took a copy of the Teahouse Daily and flipped through it, nodding his head and saying:
"Not bad. This newspaper separates the main text of The Biography of the Great Love Immortal from Mr. Lu's casual conversation while telling the story. It is much more enjoyable to read."
"Boss, I want two!"
The bookseller narrowed his eyes and smiled cunningly:
"Okay, sir, you definitely have good taste. We don't have much stock of the Teahouse Daily. Whoever gets it first gets it!"
"And let me tell you something. Have you seen the voting activity in this newspaper? As long as you read it and cast your vote, we are willing to buy it back for one penny. It is equivalent to you only spending one penny to listen to the story of "The Immortal of Great Love"."
"Now if you go to the street to listen to a story, you have to pay a few cents for tea, right? Not to mention this "Legend of the Great Love Immortal" which is praised as the world's first wonderful book!"
Someone took the lead in paying, and the others couldn't sit still either. After all, one serving was only two cents, and there was nothing to hesitate about.
In a short while, all the newspapers on the bookstall were sold out.
The same scene was repeated in the countries of Dongyuan.
Qiankun Bank is worthy of being the number one chamber of commerce in the world, and its influence is truly extraordinary!
Originally, "The Legend of the Great Love Immortal" was only circulated in neighboring countries such as Daliang. But in just one morning, "The Legend of the Great Love Immortal" spread throughout the Dongyuan countries!
From monks to women and children, almost everyone knows about it!
Everyone was shocked by this unorthodox story. Some were attracted by the wonderful story, some were indignant at Fang Yuan's evil deeds, and some began to think deeply about the simple yet profound principles in the book.
Jizhai State, Prince's Palace.
Beilu Hou looked at the Teahouse Daily in his hand and said with a strange expression:
"Lu Li is really good at coming up with something like this. Wanshi Lao'er, now it's as you wished. This book is now known to everyone."
Mr. Wanshi was holding a whisk in his hand and reading the Teahouse Daily floating in front of him, with a sneer on his face:
"Even if Lu Li knows everything in the world, he was still lured into the trap by me using a little trickery!"
"I was still thinking about how to argue with Lu Li from a distance, but now he has brought this method to my door!"
Beilu Hou said, "Oh!" and asked:
"Do you want to publish a newspaper, too?"
Mr. Wanshi nodded:
"He can use newspapers to spread this deceptive story about the devil, and I can also use newspapers to awaken the world... But the timing is not right yet."
"How can the righteous people of the Dongyuan countries tolerate such a demonic story? They will definitely launch an outcry! When the time comes, I will use the power of all living beings to defeat them in one fell swoop!"
