Chapter 1321: The Solution

Bai Suxian understood it too. However, she was just disgruntled. After having Bai Suxian come down to have a brief chat with Bai Runcheng, Zhang Tie turned around and boarded the airboat.

“The green mountains would remain still and the clear water would flow forever. Take care of yourselves. When we meet each other in the future, we will talk and drink merrily...” Zhang Tie told the others as he cupped his hands toward them. Finally, he looked at Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi silently.

Even in this case, women were still exceptionally sensitive. Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi still sensed Zhang Tie’s last gaze at them. After exchanging a glance with each other, Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi turned their face at the same time. Given this special occasion, they should pay attention to their demeanors; otherwise, the two women would definitely have responded with a cold harrumph respectively.

Zhang Tie became helpless. Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi were born to be enemies as their qi fields were completely out of harmony. ‘No romantic affairs have yet happened between Guo Hongyi and me. If I married the two tricky ones in the future, they might fight each other every day. If so, won’t my family be never peaceful?’

‘Well, whatever, it will be left to the God’s mercy!’

After putting aside this thought, Zhang Tie boarded the airboat. Soon after the hatch door of the airboat was closed, the airship had slowly moved toward the east. Through a crystal window, Zhang Tie saw that those who came here to see him off also left in different directions——Guo Hongyi was going back to Blackwater Base; Bai Suxian was going back to the airship of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion.

Zhang Tie then let out a sigh.

“General, where are we heading for?” A 40-year-old armored chief guard with purple face asked Zhang Tie respectfully.

This chief guard was called Long Tao, the chief guard of Zhang Tie’s bodyguards. Before Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Fortress, commander-in-chief Zuoqiu Mingyue allocated 800 honor soldiers to Zhang Tie, an exclusive airboat which represented the authority of Weiji General, a suit of official uniforms, a seal and a remote-sensing communications device which could be used to contact commander-in-chief. Zhang Tie was going to his post with these items.

“Take me to Kangzhou City!” Zhang Tie ordered, “I will enter cultivation for a while in my room. Don’t call me until we arrive at Kangzhou City!”

“Yes, sir!”, the chief guard gave a military salute to Zhang Tie before leaving. Zhang Tie then returned to his own berth.

This airboat was exclusive to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie’s room in the airboat was also much larger than that in Blackdragon Airboat. The room covering over 200 square meters was two-storeyed. The lower storey was Zhang Tie’s office while the upper storey was Zhang Tie’s bedroom and cultivation room.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Tie started to check the furnishings in the room as he nodded inside. There weren’t any hidden doors or mechanism inside the room. It was safe here. Because it was especially for Taixia officials, its furnishings were less luxurious than that of those top sects. However, the furnishings here were also considerate, magnificent and comfortable; especially the sound-isolation effect and the confidentiality of berth was even better than that of Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s airboat.

Nobody else was in Zhang Tie’s office. Zhang Tie had not recruited an assistant and waiters yet. After looking around the lower storey, Zhang Tie went upstairs and entered his bedroom and cultivation room.

Of course, the furnishings in the bedroom were high-end. A piece of advanced quality “crystal generator” with double shadows of pyramids filled the bedroom with special reiki. It was worth mentioning that a medium-level elements gathering matrix was placed in the cultivation room. Soon after he entered the cultivation room, Zhang Tie had sensed the high concentration of the 4 elements in the cultivation room. If he captured element crystals in such an environment, it would be more efficient than doing that in a common environment.

Zhang Tie was very satisfied with everything here. Although the officials of Taixia Country didn’t pursue grandness and entertainment, they paid special attention to cultivation.

“Castle Lord, do you want to digest those fruits? The small tree has borne some more fruits these days. There’s almost no vacancy for more fruits!” Heller’s voice sounded in Zhang Tie’s mind when Zhang Tie was looking around the cultivation room.

Zhang Tie revealed a smile. Closely after that, he entered Castle of Black Iron.

After about 20 days, there were 188 more fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs.

“Ahh, so many!”

“We could only admit that Paul’s group is setting free golden uangs at such a high efficiency...” Heller replied with a smile, “When there’s sufficient source of golden uangs, a team is much more efficient than Castle Lord in setting them free!”

Zhang Tie touched his head as he thought, ‘That’s not good! When I had no fruits to eat previously, I always thought about having fruits; however, there’re too many fruits now and they’re produced too fast. Only after a few days, the small tree would be filled with fruits. It would take me at least 2 days to digest all the fruits. However, as Weiji General, I can’t just disappear for a couple of days. Even 2 hours’ disappearance would cause trouble when we’re raided by demon knights, not to mention two days.’

‘Additionally, if I ate too many fruits at once, I would not adapt to my surging strength. For instance, if I took all the 188 fruits, I would increase almost 13 tons of strength. With such a great strength, I might hurt those people on my side. When I shake hands with others, I might pinch their hands into pieces; when I pat others’ shoulders, I might severely wound them...’

“Castle Lord, are you worried that it would take you too long to digest so many fruits?” Heller asked Zhang Tie.

“Yup, do you have any solution?”

“Hoho, Castle Lord, you’re confused. Given your ability, you could access to Castle of Black Iron as fast as a lightning bolt; so could you take food at such a fast speed. Additionally, the fruits are not large. Although you could not take them away from Castle of Black Iron, as long as you pick them up and eat them rapidly. You could leave out of there before you digest them. It might take you less than 1 second to complete the process. What on earth are you worried about, Castle Lord? You could seize the chance to enter Castle of Black Iron and leave with fruits in stomach rapidly whenever you want. It won’t take you too long!”

After hearing Heller’s suggestion, Zhang Tie became stunned for a second. Closely after that, he patted his head. The inertia caused by habit was too great. Since he gained the small tree, he had been digesting those fruits in Castle of Black Iron. He didn’t realize that there was such a feasible solution——enter Castle of Black Iron rapidly; eat the fruit quickly and leave right away. Just digest fruit outside Castle of Black Iron.

After thinking it through, Zhang Tie immediately put it into practice.

Closely after that, Zhang Tie flashed to the front of the small tree. After picking off a fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs and putting it into his mouth, Zhang Tie instantly chewed it up and swallowed it. Before the juice of the fruit turned into a bizarre strength that could flow across his full body, Zhang Tie had reappeared in the cultivation room of his airboat.

Sitting in the cultivation room with crossed legs, Zhang Tie was quietly digesting the fruit of redemption from golden uangs with eyes closed.

About 15 minutes later, Zhang Tie opened his eyes in the cultivation room. Closely after that, he disappeared once again. 3 seconds later, Zhang Tie reappeared in the cultivation room still with crossed legs. After about another 15 minutes, Zhang Tie disappeared once again. This time, it only took Zhang Tie 2 seconds to reappear in the cultivation room...

3 hours later, it only took Zhang Tie less than 0.5 seconds to complete the 11th “pilferage”. When he reappeared in the cultivation room, Zhang Tie was still chewing the fruit. He didn’t fully swallow it until 2 seconds later.

“Interesting, interesting...” Zhang Tie burst out into laughter in the cultivation room as he felt like a monkey who stole away fruits from an orchard rapidly.

Through constant tests, Zhang Tie finally fixed the shortest period for the entire process of “pilferage”——approximately less than 0.5 seconds. Soon after chewing up the fruit could he exit Castle of Black Iron without even fully swallowing the fruit.

Even if someone was watching him disappear and reappear in such a split second, they would doubt that they were giddy or might believe that Zhang Tie was cultivating a mysterious battle skill, which could cause an elusive visual effect of physical disappearance in a short period.

‘Like what Heller told me. After grasping this method, I could rapidly steal fruits from Castle of Black Iron and digest it and intensify my overall strength whenever I want without causing any trouble. Additionally, by taking fruits at different moments in my daily life would also be beneficial for me to adapt to the changes in my physical strength and the other aspects brought by these fruits.’

When Zhang Tie started to take the 13th fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs, he held 3 walnuts that were produced in Castle of Black Iron.

The walnuts in Castle of Black Iron were delicious and big with a thin shell. Zhang Tie intended to adjust his rapidly growing strength by fiddling with the 3 walnuts...

As long as one was arduous and diligent, he could always find the solution to the problem facing his cultivation.

...

10 hours later, Zhang Tie’s airboat landed in Kangzhou City at dusk. The moment the hatch door of the airboat was opened, the group of officials who were waiting for the arrival of the new Weiji General had seen a 17-year old handsome teenager in boa silk robe getting off the airboat calmly while fiddling with 3 walnuts in hand, followed by 2 teams of armored bodyguards...

Everybody then became stunned. Closely after that, they realized who was this young man.

“Welcome to Kangzhou City, Weiji General...” All the officials bowed deeply towards Zhang Tie at the same time...
