Chapter 53 The favor owed by the clan elders

When the inner ring guards saw Zhang Xuan riding a two-winged flying leopard, they immediately recognized that this was the newly appointed elder of the Ten Clans and a descendant of ancestor Zhang Xing, Qiang Zhi, and bowed respectfully.

When they arrived at the clan library, Zhuang Yingda personally greeted him.

"I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar, so please forgive me for my sins." Zhang Yingda said with great respect.

"Zhang Yingda, just now my uncle Sanqian came to the clan treasury to borrow a batch of first-level low-grade talismans. Why didn't you borrow them?" Zhang Xuan looked like he was going to attack the enemy.

"It's like this. That clan brother did mention that he would borrow a batch of first-level low-grade talismans in your name, but according to clan rules, you can't borrow them!"

"I have borrowed 150 million spirit stones. Why can't I borrow some first-order low-grade talismans?"

"According to clan rules, in order to borrow money from the clan treasury, in addition to paying interest, there must be collateral."

“Isn’t it enough to use Jiuding Lake as collateral?”

"The 150 million spiritual stones are pledged with Jiuding Lake and cannot be mortgaged repeatedly."

When Henry Zhang heard this, he was a little embarrassed.

What should be used as collateral?

He suddenly had an idea, took out the token belonging to the elder of his ten clans and said, "See if this token is worth 1 spiritual stones."

Zhang Yingdacheng said with sincerity: "Elders of the ten clans, the clan elders are a priceless treasure in our Zhangjiaji. Not to mention 1 spiritual stones, even 10 spiritual stones are not too much."

"Okay, then I'll mortgage the clan leader's order with you, okay?"

"This one……"

"What? You don't like it?"

"No, no, it's just that there has never been a precedent in the family for a clan elder to pledge his clan elder order!"

"Now there is, isn't it?"

With that said, Henry Zhang directly threw his clan elder order over.

Zhang Ying took it in a panic and sighed: "Since the clan elder insists on mortgaging this clan elder order, then... okay."

"Where's the contract document?"

"There is no need for contract documents. Yingda believes that the elders of the ten clans will not break the contract."

After a while, Zhang Yingda respectfully handed over a storage bag.

"Elder of the Ten Clans, the first-level low-grade defensive talismans are two spiritual stones per piece. There are a total of 5000 first-level low-grade defensive talismans here, worth 1 spiritual stones. Please check them."

"it is good."

After Zhang Xuan's spiritual consciousness scanned, there were indeed 5000 first-level low-grade talismans in the storage bag, including golden armor talisman, fossil talisman, water-bending talisman, escape talisman, etc., all of which were defensive or escape talismans.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Next, Henry Zhang replaced all the Sky-covering Blue Doves and Dragon-marked Bees in the storage bag with contribution points, for a total of 475 contribution points.

"Is there any secret technique for cultivating alien spirit beads here?" Henry Zhang asked.

"The secret technique of cultivating strange spiritual beads? There is a copy, but it has been a long time since there was a strong branch in the clan to exchange for it."

"why?"

"The cost is too high and the failure rate is also very high. It is not cost-effective to cultivate the spiritual beads."

"How many contribution points can be exchanged for?"

"500 contribution points can copy a copy of the secret technique of cultivating strange spiritual beads."

"500 contribution points? Don't you have strong branches from the clan in exchange? Why is it still so expensive?"

"This secret technique was successfully developed 500 years ago by Zhangye clan elder Qiangzhi, who spent 50 years and invested millions of spirit stones through trial and error. It was worth tens of thousands of contribution points at the beginning. "

"Such twists and turns? But...the veteran of our tribe only has 475 contribution points, so can't we give him a discount?"

Zhang Yingda was quite helpless at this time.

He has never seen such a poor clan elder.

I just mortgaged the talisman of 10,000 spiritual stones from the clan leader.

Now I am bargaining here for dozens of contribution points.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, let's take the 475 contribution points from the ten clans, and the Yingda will make up for what's missing."

"Thank you so much, Master Yingda. I have always remembered this favor." Henry Zhang said with a smile.

Zhang Yingda was shocked again.

When did it take 25 contribution points to get a clan elder to remember a favor?

In the clan, even the descendants of the common people who are not valued by the clan elders do not look down upon these dozens of contribution points.

Henry Zhang got the supernatural spirit beads to cultivate the secret technique, and sat on the two-winged flying leopard and left with satisfaction.

He came directly to the rented spiritual field.

At this time, a huge beehive is still located on the spiritual field.

Henry Zhang summoned the queen bee from the imperial dharma picture.

The queen bee drove these dragon-marked bees and set off again carrying the hive on her back.

Henry Zhang rode the two-winged flying leopard in front, and a group of dragon-marked bees carried the hive behind.

Soon, we arrived at Jiuding Lake.

The queen bee commanded the group of dragon-marked bees and placed the hive directly on the Nine-Son Spiritual Lotus.

The roots of the Nine-Son Spirit Lotus are so tall that they can withstand the weight of a million kilograms of honeycombs.

These dragon-marked bees came to their new home and were extremely excited to see the Nine-Son Spirit Lotus blooming on the lake.

To brew spiritual nectar, dragon-marked bees must collect nectar from the blooming flowers of the elixir.

In the Black Forest, there are not many elixirs, and the flowering period is also short.

Therefore, it is difficult for the dragon-marked bees to find elixir flowers.

And now, these tens of thousands of Nine-Son Spirit Lotus are enough for them to collect honey.

Seeing the temple owner transporting such a large beehive, the neighbors on Temple Street also gathered around it.

Henry Zhang threw a storage bag directly to Zhang Sanqian.

"Uncle Sanqian, there are 5000 first-level low-grade talismans here. Just give them to the tribesmen who go to the lake to step on beads."

Zhang Sanqian took the storage bag and scanned it with his consciousness. Sure enough, there were 5000 first-level low-grade talismans neatly placed inside.

"That's great. With these talismans, the neighbors on Temple Street can safely enter the lake to step on beads."

Zhang Sanqian said happily.

"The clan elders are so generous to their clansmen." A woman's voice sounded at this time.

When Henry Zhang saw it, it was Zhang Miaoke who came from the eighth clan.

"Why are you here again? I decided not to change Jiuding Lake." Henry Zhang said directly.

"I know."

"Then why did you come?"

"I heard that in order to get back these talismans, the ten clan elders mortgaged all their clan elders' orders to the clan treasury. This can be regarded as the only one among the Zhang clan elders in the past generations."

As soon as Zhang Miaoke's words came out, the people around him, including Zhang Sanqian, were shocked.

"Temple Master, is what she said true? Did you really mortgage your clan elder order?" Zhang Sanqian asked in surprise.

Henry Zhang said vaguely: "That brand cannot be used as food..."

"Temple Master, you are confused. Even if we, the people of Temple Street, die under Jiuding Lake, we can't let you mortgage your clan's elder order!" Zhang Sanqian's veins popped out.

"Uncle Sanqian, aren't you quite calm and exasperated when things happen to you? How can a clan leader be like this?" Henry Zhang said calmly.

"As for, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the main concern is the humiliation of the minister, and the main insult is the death of the minister. Even if we, the people of Temple Street, die, we will never let you become a joke to the elders of the Inner Ring Clan." Zhang Sanqian said fiercely.

Zhang Miaoke said at this time: "Who said that the Shi Clan is always a joke among the elders of the Inner Ring Clan? When my great-great-grandfather heard that the Shi Clan elder had mortgaged his clan's order for the safety of the clan, he immediately expressed his displeasure to the Ten Clan. Look at each other differently."

"Girl, please stop saying some sarcastic words. Look at how embarrassed everyone is when you do this." Henry Zhang said rather resentfully.
