A cyan box suddenly appeared before Zhu Tai.
It was the Qing Wang Mu!
"What is this?" Zhu Tai frowned, looking at the item in Zhang Yang's hand, very curious.
"Isn't it just an ordinary box? Is it worth you fleeing for your life for it?"
"It seems you don't recognize this box either." Zhang Yang was slightly disappointed.
He then cautiously put away the Qing Wang Mu and explained.
"I don't know what the people above want with this box, but I saw they valued it highly, even destroying Qingcheng Mountain for it, so I secretly brought it out."
Zhang Yang frankly told Zhu Tai about the origin of the Wang Mu and the importance the inheritor of Mo Wang placed on the Qing Wang Mu.
The reason for this was simple.
It was because his own strength meant he wasn't afraid of Zhu Tai and the others snatching it.
"The descendants of Mo Wang attach great importance to this wood?" Zhu Tai was immediately surprised.
"Yes, they value this wooden box very much, but I don't know what it's for, because I'm not one of them." Zhang Yang shrugged.
"Not one of them? Then how did you become a spy?" Zhu Tai's eyes narrowed again.
"They found me themselves and used some method to change my cultivation talent. In exchange, I had to work for them. Otherwise, how could I have such astonishing talent now?" Zhang Yang replied.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tai understood, and his suspicion towards Zhang Yang lessened considerably.
Because they also had methods to improve others' strength, it was just that each royal descendant's method was different.
"Can you let me take a look at the box in your hand?" Zhu Tai said.
"Ah? Didn't you not recognize it? Then it's useless to look." Zhang Yang asked warily, not taking out the Qing Wang Mu.
Zhu Tai shook his head and smiled, "I really don't recognize this item, but perhaps there are related records among the royal families. Let me take a closer look."
Zhu Tai knew something about the descendants of Mo Wang.
He was very curious about anything that could interest them.
Zhang Yang frowned slightly, carefully observing the other person.
"You're not lying to me, are you? If I betray Mo Wang, you won't want me anymore, and then you'll just take my things, right?" Zhang Yang asked suspiciously.
"Heh, that's not the case. We, the descendants of Ming Wang, are not as insidious as those of Mo Wang. Since I dared to declare that I welcome talent regardless of origin, I wouldn't do anything to ruin my own reputation," Zhu Tai said with a smile.
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and then took out the Qing Wang Mu again.
"You can look, but you have to return it to me afterward."
Zhu Tai took the Qing Wang Mu from Zhang Yang's hand and examined it carefully, then tried to probe it with his Yuan Qi.
However...
Things did not go smoothly.
The Qing Wang Mu was completely unresponsive. Zhu Tai could not discern the origin of this item at all.
Strange!
The more Zhu Tai tried, the stranger he felt, and he examined it again.
But, without exception, he could not succeed.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up and return the Qing Wang Mu to Zhang Yang.
"How much do you know about this cyan box?" Zhu Tai asked.
"I heard from Mo Wang's people that this box is called Qing Wang Mu, but I don't know anything else," Zhang Yang shrugged.
As soon as he said this!
Zhu Tai was immediately startled, his voice even losing control!
"What! You said the item in your hand is called Qing Wang Mu?" Zhu Tai exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, have you heard of it?" Zhang Yang replied honestly.
Although his expression was neutral, his heart began to stir.
Judging by Zhu Tai's reaction, he must know the origin of Qing Wang Mu, otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited.
At the same time.
The people who had been accompanying Zhu Tai also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
Everyone crowded their heads and asked.
"Zhu Tai, did you just say Qing Wang Mu? Where is it?"
"Isn't Qing Wang Mu something from legends? Does it really exist in the world?"
"Where is it, quickly show it to me! I'm very curious about this thing!"
Not only Zhu Tai was excited, but the others also became agitated.
Zhu Tai took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement, then looked at Zhang Yang and said.
"Zhang Tang, please take out the Qing Wang Mu again."
"What are you guys trying to do?" Zhang Yang was very wary.
"No, we won't snatch your things. Just take out the Qing Wang Mu for a moment, and I'll let them see it," Zhu Tai reiterated.
Only then did everyone understand that Zhang Tang possessed a great treasure!
Instantly.
The eyes of these people shone with curiosity.
"Kid, just take out the Qing Wang Mu. I, Hong Tao, guarantee that no one will snatch your things."
Seeing Zhang Yang's wariness, the red-bearded old man who had initially favored Zhang Yang suddenly said.
"That's right, take it out and let us see it. I, Hu Han Tian, also guarantee you that we'll just look and won't snatch your things. And if you lose later, I won't make you swim back." Hu Han Tian said.
The others also nodded one after another, assuring Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang looked at each of them, falling into thought.
When these people heard about Qing Wang Mu, although they showed excitement, their eyes only held curiosity, not greed.
"Alright."
Zhang Yang nodded and took out the Qing Wang Mu again.
Instantly.
Everyone surrounded Zhang Yang, staring with wide eyes.
Then.
One by one, they took the Qing Wang Mu, played with it for a while, and finally returned it to Zhang Yang as promised.
However, their expressions all seemed somewhat disappointed.
"This Qing Wang Mu, which is said to be able to bring the dead back to life, is just a wooden lump?"
"I thought it was some incredible treasure, but it has no special properties at all. It's truly boring."
"Alas, I got excited for nothing. There are piles of this broken wood on the island. Except for being a bit older, it's useless!"
Hearing their sighs, Zhang Yang said nothing, merely putting the Qing Wang Mu back into his embrace.
At this moment.
Zhu Tai, however, smiled and explained.
"Heh, this is just because you lack knowledge. If the special properties of Qing Wang Mu were so easily discernible, how could it have survived to this day?"
Everyone was immediately captivated by Zhu Tai's words, looking up at him and waiting for his explanation.
"Everyone knows that Qing Wang Mu has the ability to bring the dead back to life, but very few people know the specific method of use. Many people think that the secret to resurrection lies within the box!"
"But this understanding is actually wrong. Qing Wang Mu does not need to be opened at all. As long as five Qing Wang Mu are gathered, you can revive the person you wish to revive."
After Zhu Tai finished explaining, everyone finally realized.
"So this wood doesn't need to be opened, you just need to find five Qing Wang Mu!"
"No wonder I tried just now and there was no reaction at all!"
On Zhang Yang's side, he was also inwardly astonished!
He hadn't expected Zhu Tai to know so much, even knowing that there were five Qing Wang Mu!
If that were the case...
Suddenly, Zhang Yang had a brand new plan in his mind.
At this moment.
Zhu Tai proactively looked at Zhang Yang and said.
"Zhang Tang, do you know how many Qing Wang Mu the Mo Wang side has?"
