Other extraordinary beings came and went, but Chi Qiubai and Tan Shi, the two strongest humans on the Saint List, temporarily resided in the Snowstone Castle. As they put it... they were temporarily protecting Dongbo Xueying!
It was early morning.
Dongbo Lie and his wife, Dongbo Xueying, Qing Shi, Zong Ling, and Tong San all had breakfast together.
"I want to hear your thoughts, Father," Dongbo Xueying said, summarizing the pros and cons of joining various organizations.
"Regarding joining an extraordinary organization, why listen to our thoughts?" Dongbo Lie said, "We don't understand much about the extraordinary world. In short, choose the one that is best and most suitable for you, and don't worry about us."
Mo Yangyu also said, "Right, our Dongbo family only has a few people. Managing the entire Yishui City territory is already short of manpower, let alone governing the Qinghe County."
"Don't worry, Longshan Tower will have enough manpower," Dongbo Xueying smiled.
"I still have one thing to say: choose the one that is most suitable for you," Dongbo Lie said. Zong Ling, Tong San, and Qing Shi also agreed. Clearly, they did not want to influence Dongbo Xueying's choice because, in their view, the affairs of extraordinary beings were the most important.
Dongbo Xueying nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, I'll choose the Water Source Daoist Temple!"
"The Water Source Daoist Temple?" Dongbo Lie was puzzled.
"Why?" Qing Shi also asked, "Didn't you say that the Earth Temple and Blood Blade Tavern have the best secret techniques, and the Black and White Divine Mountain has the best treasures?"
Dongbo Xueying nodded gently.
The founders of the Black and White Divine Mountain... were two extremely powerful extraordinary mages! Therefore, the Black and White Divine Mountain has many mages, gradually attracting more mages! The large number of extraordinary weapons and magical arrays they produce are very powerful, and they also attract some extraordinary knights to join, allowing them to obtain many extraordinary weapons at a lower price.
The Black and White Divine Mountain manages six provinces, and its leader, He Shan, is now considered the strongest in the world.
"The Earth Temple and Blood Blade Tavern have too many rules, which are not suitable for me," Dongbo Xueying smiled, "As for the other four major organizations, the differences between them are not significant. Since I am from Anyang Province, joining the Water Source Daoist Temple is more suitable! Chi Qiubai, the Longfeng Knight of the Water Source Daoist Temple, has been very kind to me."
...
In the morning.
Dongbo Xueying, Chi Qiubai, and Tan Shi were all sitting in a pavilion, seated separately, while Lord Yi Hong stood beside them, pouring tea, clearly accustomed to serving the extraordinary beings.
"You chose the Water Source Daoist Temple?" Tan Shi's lion-like eyes widened, and he slapped his thigh, "What a pity, you didn't join our Sea God Temple."
"Your Sea God Temple had little hope to begin with, right?" Chi Qiubai laughed, in a good mood, "Our Water Source Daoist Temple has never considered you as a rival."
Tan Shi pouted, "Look at you, so smug."
"Xueying," Chi Qiubai called him more intimately, "From today on, we are good brothers. You can call me Brother Longfeng."
"Um..." Dongbo Xueying was a bit hesitant.
Because he knew the rules within the four major extraordinary organizations.
Title-level, are disciples!
Flying Heaven-level extraordinary beings, are protectors.
Saint-level, are elders.
Semi-gods, the top tier, are either the leaders of an extraordinary organization or have titles like Grand Elder, Venerable, Deputy Leader, Deputy Temple Master, etc., with a status equivalent to the leader.
So, under normal circumstances, Dongbo Xueying should call him 'Elder Chi' or 'Elder Longfeng'.
Calling him Brother Longfeng seemed a bit presumptuous. After all, Chi Qiubai is the top of the Saint List, having killed a native semi-god of the extraordinary world and defeated the semi-god ghost knight Feng Dong!
"Don't be so stiff. Most of the extraordinary beings in the Water Source Daoist Temple come from the five northern provinces. We from Anyang Province naturally feel closer," Chi Qiubai smiled, "We had nine extraordinary beings in Anyang Province, and with you, there are ten! Among them, I and Old Peng are at the Saint level, the others are at the Flying Heaven level. I have very high hopes for you, or rather, the whole world has high hopes for you. As long as you don't slack off, reaching the Saint level is no problem. Then, we will have three Saint-level beings in Anyang Province. We in Anyang Province are like brothers, so there's no need to be too formal."
Semi-god?
No one dares to say, semi-gods have a lifespan of three thousand years, but the Water Source Daoist Temple currently has only two semi-gods! Like Elder Leizhen, who was once quite good and had the Ocean World Stone treasure, still failed and died. There are too many similar cases.
Only someone like Chi Qiubai, who can rank first on the Saint List and is young, is considered to have a high chance of becoming a semi-god.
"Brother Longfeng," Dongbo Xueying still did not call him Brother Longfeng casually.
"You little guy," Chi Qiubai laughed, then flipped his hand, and three bracelets appeared in his hand: one black bracelet and two white bracelets, "These are alchemical extraordinary items, communication bracelets. The black one is for you! The other two white ones are quite ordinary communication bracelets. You can leave them for your family, and you can contact them in the future! These white bracelets are very cheap, one pound of source stone can exchange for five. If you need more, you can buy them yourself."
Dongbo Xueying's eyes lit up, and he immediately took them.
He temporarily put away the white bracelets and easily infused his extraordinary qi into the black bracelet, wearing it on his arm. The black bracelet then merged into his skin.
"Hmm?" Dongbo Xueying sensed slightly.
The inside of the black bracelet seemed like a three-dimensional space.
There was a simple number: Water Source Anyang 29
"Your communication number is 'Water Source Anyang 29'," Chi Qiubai smiled, "In the future, when you send a message, the recipient will naturally see your communication number. Each communication number... represents an extraordinary life!"
"Hmm?"
Dongbo Xueying suddenly paused.
Because three messages came in succession, transmitted through the communication bracelet, directly received by his consciousness, which was quite magical.
The three messages were:
Water Source Anyang 16: I am Chi Qiubai.
Sea God Tuoyun 9: Kid, I am Tan Shi, this is my communication number.
Longshan Anyang: Lord Dongbo, I am Yi Hong.
"Interesting," Dongbo Xueying found it amazing.
"By the way, there is a very special number called 'Xia Clan Torch'," Chi Qiubai said, "This is a number known to every extraordinary being. If you encounter something extremely important or life-threatening, you can immediately seek help. When seeking help, provide your geographical location. Your communication bracelet comes with a map. Mark your position on the map and then send a message to 'Xia Clan Torch'."
Dongbo Xueying nodded.
Because everything is transmitted by thought, and the souls of extraordinary beings are incredibly powerful, it only takes a blink to send a message.
"Our six major extraordinary organizations have absolute strength!" Chi Qiubai smiled, "So, the Demon God Society and some evil god organizations, as well as the Witch God Temple, generally dare not sneak attack you. As long as they sneak attack you and we know about it, semi-god level experts who can traverse the void will instantly arrive."
"What if the opponent is strong and instantly kills us?" Dongbo Xueying asked.
"If you are instantly killed, the communication bracelet will lose its owner and automatically send the location to 'Xia Clan Torch'. We will also immediately come to your aid," Chi Qiubai said, "So, in the mortal world and the Torch World, you generally won't encounter danger. Unless the opponent is willing to risk a war with all six major organizations to kill you! Such reckless actions are rare, and I have never encountered one."
Dongbo Xueying breathed a sigh of relief.
In terms of importance, Chi Qiubai is much higher than himself. The Witch God Temple and Demon God Society would likely target Chi Qiubai first if they wanted to eliminate a threat.
"But!"
"Communication bracelets cannot transmit messages beyond a world. The world's space naturally isolates it," Chi Qiubai said, "Only the Torch World, after our countless years of development, can naturally communicate with the outside world. However, other extraordinary worlds, whether large or small, are isolated from the outside world!"
"The outside world cannot contact you, and you cannot contact the outside world."
"So entering an extraordinary world is very dangerous. On one hand, the natives of the extraordinary world hate us. On the other hand, if the Witch God Temple or Demon God Society encounters you in such an extraordinary world, they might try to kill you! In such a situation, unable to contact the outside world, it is very dangerous," Chi Qiubai said, "Within the extraordinary world, sometimes some extraordinary beings from our six major organizations might even try to harm you out of greed! After all, unable to contact the outside world, as long as it is not exposed, no one will know."
Chi Qiubai looked at Dongbo Xueying, "Fortunately, before reaching the Saint level, except for the Torch World, extraordinary beings are prohibited from entering other extraordinary worlds."
"Understood," Dongbo Xueying nodded.
In terms of safety, the six major extraordinary organizations have clearly considered it very carefully.
"When will you go to the Water Source Daoist Temple?" Chi Qiubai asked.
"I just escaped from the Blackwind Abyss and reunited with my parents. I plan to stay for a while, probably within a month, I will set out for the Water Source Daoist Temple," Dongbo Xueying said.
"Alright, then I won't stay longer! The map attached to the communication bracelet has the exact location of the Water Source Daoist Temple. You can head there when the time comes," Chi Qiubai stood up.
Tan Shi also smiled, "Dongbo Xueying, practice well and reach the Saint level as soon as possible. Then we can go on adventures in the extraordinary world together."
"I will do my best," Dongbo Xueying also stood up to see them off.
Whoosh.
Chi Qiubai and Tan Shi soon broke through the air and disappeared into the horizon.
Lord Yi Hong, who had been standing by, immediately smiled, "Congratulations, Lord Dongbo. Since Lord Dongbo has joined the Water Source Daoist Temple, the Qinghe County will naturally be under the control of the Dongbo family! If the Dongbo family lacks manpower, our Longshan Tower will be at your disposal! Any title-level families in Qinghe County, such as the Si family and Zhang family, who dare to defy, can be dealt with accordingly! The Si family has too many claws in Qinghe County and holds too many official positions, which greatly hinders the Dongbo family's control of Qinghe County. I will immediately arrange for the Si family to be driven away! Our Longshan Tower will send people to temporarily take over, and the Dongbo family can send people to take over at any time! In fact, we at Longshan Tower execute orders very efficiently."
"Good," Dongbo Xueying nodded. In secular matters, Longshan Tower would handle them very cleanly, solving the worries of extraordinary beings.
