Chapter 378 The Queen can be deposed at any time, but the Empress Dowager can never be deposed.
Upon hearing Lele's message, the friends all roared angrily, "Splitting it equally! It must be split equally!"
Lele snorted coldly: "It's a 30/70 split, I get 70% and you get 30%. You're all so stupid, trapped by that damn long nose. You're all so capable."
The friends were furious. No wonder Lele hadn't responded or given any reply for so many days; it turned out she had gone to sneak away from home behind their backs.
They worked hard here to hold back the enemy, while Lele went off to make a fortune in comfort.
That’s nice to think about!
It must be divided equally.
Lele chuckled coldly, "If you can beat me, we'll split it evenly; if you can't, we'll split it 30/70. As for you guys, if I hadn't arrived quickly, the Nine-Headed Lion's lair would have been raided long ago. You bunch of blockheads, all you do is help others. Xinxin, hurry to the Golden Eagle King's cave. These immortals are rushing there."
Zhong Lingxin quickly realized that the Nine-Headed Lion King was a bachelor who could take all his possessions with him when he went out. The only things he could steal were some immature immortal herbs and fruits and some heavy, worthless junk.
The Golden Eagle King and his wife had just given birth to eaglets, so they must have left one eaglet in the nest to nurse the eaglets. They didn't have much wealth with them, and there were good things left in the nest, but they were hard to steal.
Lele first stole the Nine-Headed Lion King's house, where she could steal immortal herbs and fruits. The Nine-Story Pagoda had a place to plant them and a time array, so she didn't care about the age of the immortal herbs and fruits.
Zhong Lingxin turned her head and left the territory of the Long-Nosed Immortal, heading towards the territory of the Golden Eagle King.
She possesses a Ruyi (a type of scepter), which can blend into the air, making it an essential tool for burglaries and robberies.
The Golden Eagle King and the Long-Nosed Immortal lived next door to each other and had a good relationship. The Golden Eagle King spent a lot of immortal stones to ask the Long-Nosed Immortal to set up a protective array as well.
However, the Golden Eagle King was not a formation master. Although his divine sense was connected to the formation, the entire protective formation was flickering everywhere as one immortal after another tried to sneak into his home.
When Zhong Lingxin deftly slipped into the formation, the Golden Eagle King didn't even notice.
Once inside the formation, Zhong Lingxin continued to merge with Ruyi, drifting towards the Golden Eagle King's nest like a gentle breeze.
Along the way, whenever there were no immortal plants in the Nine-Story Pagoda, she would dig up a few and bring them into her space.
She didn't touch the ones she already owned, no matter how old they were.
Moreover, wherever she dug, she would always replace it with a weed, leaving no large holes behind.
After digging and gathering for about half a month, Zhong Lingxin arrived at the foot of the eagle's nest.
Inside the eagle's nest, a mother eagle, who was feeding her eaglets, saw a magical fruit tree beneath her nest vanish into thin air, and knew that a powerful immortal had arrived.
They saw that the powerful immortals were only digging up trees and grass, and hadn't attacked them or the little eagle.
It knew that this immortal feared cause and effect.
For immortals like these, a fair trade will suffice.
So the mother eagle called out to the immortal herb that had disappeared again at the bottom of the cliff, "Which immortal is here? May I show myself? I have some immortal ore. May we trade?"
Zhong Lingxin knew she would be discovered sooner or later when she entered the Golden Eagle King's territory.
The information about the Wumeng Secret Realm describes the three overlords in the central area in a negative way, using words like cruel and ruthless.
Zhong Lingxin wasn't afraid of these three overlords. She figured if they treated her well, she would make a deal. If they wanted to eat her, she would eliminate them.
Now, the mother eagle has proposed a deal.
Unable to discern sincerity from pretense, Zhong Lingxin transformed into the appearance of a male immortal, soared to the outside of the eagle's nest on the cliff, and casually cupped her hands in greeting: "Alright, according to the rules, transactions within the secret realm are at 80% of the market price."
The Queen Eagle looked closely at Zhong Lingxin.
The male immortal in front of her was neither arrogant nor humble, and was very casual, completely disregarding the mother eagle.
Such immortals are either recklessly bold or have great backing.
The mother eagle, who managed to stand out from the crowd of golden eagles and become the mother of the Golden Eagle King's son, was certainly not foolish.
It quickly realized that the male immortal before it had great backing.
So it readily nodded and spat out several pieces of sixth or seventh grade immortal ore.
Zhong Lingxin reached out and grabbed it. After assessing it, she asked the mother eagle, "What do you want? Pills, array plates, or something else?"
The mother eagle hurriedly replied, "Do you have any pills, including seventh-grade pills and pills to purify bloodlines?"
Zhong Lingxin glanced behind the mother eagle, then flipped her hand and took out a few phoenix lotus seeds: "Is this alright?"
The delicate fragrance of phoenix lotus blossoms drifted into the mother eagle's nest on the mountain breeze. The subtle scent invigorated her: "This, this is..."
"Phoenix Lotus, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of it; it's said to be a sixth-grade... immortal plant."
"No matter what kind of plant it is, it will have an excellent effect on purifying your bloodline and your little eagle."
"Yes, yes, do you have any more? I still have some seventh-grade immortal plants and fruits here, all of them are mature and have excellent effects. I have them stored in your immortals' jade boxes."
"Although the Phoenix Lotus is not of high grade, it is basically extinct. You can't buy it even if you have immortal stones. One Phoenix Lotus can be exchanged for a seventh-grade immortal plant or immortal ore."
"Deal! I have over thirty pieces of Grade 7 immortal ore, and more than a dozen Grade 7 immortal plants. I also have quite a few Grade 6 plants. Can I trade some of the Grade 6 plants for them?"
"Okay, ten plants count as one plant, ten seeds count as one seed."
"make a deal!"
Soon, Zhong Lingxin completely removed all the immortal plants and minerals from the mother eagle's body.
Zhong Yongfu, Zhong Lingxia, and Zhong Linghui peered out from inside the Nine-Story Pagoda.
The three little ones were overjoyed.
Phoenix lotus flowers, the pond is full of them, there are as many as you want, they've already had their fill.
One phoenix lotus can be exchanged for a seventh-grade immortal plant.
It’s a great deal!
There can be many more of these kinds of deals in the future.
After completing the transaction, the Mother Eagle King stored the Phoenix Lotus in her personal space.
It doesn't intend to eat it itself.
It's all for its little golden eagle.
The little eagle ate the Phoenix Lotus, which purified its bloodline, making it the best and finest Golden Eagle.
In the future, she will be the Empress Dowager of the Golden Eagle Clan, and will no longer have to be beholden to the Golden Eagle King.
A queen can be deposed at any time, but an empress dowager can never be deposed.
She went through all the trouble of giving birth to the little golden eagle, wasn't it all so that she could become the Empress Dowager?
Thinking of this, the mother eagle fed her eaglet a phoenix lotus.
Turning its head, it asked Zhong Lingxin, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any immortal treasures that can conceal the rank of one's bloodline? If so, I'll point you to an immortal mine."
Zhong Lingxin smiled. With the guidance of Ruyi and the old green ox, she was extremely knowledgeable about the situation in the Wumeng Secret Realm.
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin remained silent, the mother eagle knew that her suggestion had failed to persuade her.
After thinking for a moment, the mother eagle said, "I have a green jade slip that was brought in by your immortals. I wonder if I could exchange it for a celestial treasure that can conceal the rank of one's bloodline."
After saying that, the mother eagle spat out a green jade slip.
The green color on the jade slip was extremely pure and thick, emitting a soft green light.
Zhong Chun, who was inside the Nine-Story Pagoda, saw it clearly and excitedly said to Zhong Lingxin, "Exchange, exchange, exchange! This jade slip alone is worth it."
