Before leaving there, batches of knights came here to bid farewell to Zhang Tie solemnly. Many of them even left a token to him.
It took them almost half an hour to completely finish their farewell as they all returned to their own bases, leaving the space above Centralpillar Mountain calm.
"Aah, what happened just now?" Bai Suxian asked as she flew towards Zhang Tie with the others who had been waiting for Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he put away the last tokens, including a delicate, tiny golden knife, a crystal abacus, a red copper waist decoration with Eight Diagrams on it, a red tooth of an unknown beast, which were respectively left by the head of Goldenknife Sect in Yunzhou Province, an independent earth knight called Shen Suanzi, the head of Liu Clan in Anzhou Province and head of a barbarian tribe in Fierycloud Mountain, South Border.
Zhang Tie received over 200 gifts, including tokens and remote-sensing communications rings, while the earlier ones had been put into his portable space-teleportation equipment.
Compared to so many gifts, the friendship between Zhang Tie and so many knights might be his largest achievement. Of course, so many knights appreciated him because Zhang Tie indeed saved their lives this time; what was more, Zhang Tie's moral standing and various gossips won him a high reliance from these knights. All the knights knew that even though they gave their tokens to Immortal Qianji, given his moral standing, Zhang Tie would never request them to do evil things or have them die for him. Additionally, if they dealt with it well and could get acquainted with Immortal Qianji, they would gain great benefits from it as Zhang Tie could also be their assets.
The world-renowned Immortal Qianji, the powerful divine dominator, the inventor of fiery oil and all-purpose medicament, the one whom even royal prince would rope in! Who would refuse such a rare chance to get acquainted with such a person? Even the barbarian knights in South Border knew Zhang Tie's importance; not to mention Hua knights in Taixia Country.
"Moral standing is like the money that you deposit in the bank. When you don't withdraw it, your feelings would be useless no matter how much it is. People with bad moral standing couldn't be identified from those with good moral standing. Nor could they bring too much profit to you. However, when you deposit so much money in the bank that even if you didn't present your deposit book to the public, they've already known that, those strangers would change their attitude about you. After changing enough people, you would be able to do great undertakings. That's called a moral standing bonus!" Zhang Tie told Bai Suxian with a smile. When finding the others were still confused about that, Zhang Tie smiled as he held Bai Suxian's hand slightly, continuing, "I won a bet with that sage-level knight just now; now, the entire Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect belongs to me. By the way, I saved so many knights!"
"What?" Celestial Treasureflame, Bai Runshan and Celestial Woodbuilding widely opened their eyes at the same time.
"What? This Dongtian belongs to you?" Bai Runshan asked in an unbelievable look.
"Yes. It's not the proper place to talk about it. As you've already waited here for long, let's go back to the airboat first..."
After exchanging a glance with each other, Celestial Treasureflame and the others tried to calm down as they nodded, "Good!"
"Aah, what's this? You've got a nice bracelet. It's made of two snakes..." Bai Suxian instantly noticed that bizarre "decoration" on Zhang Tie's left wrist. After watching it carefully, Bai Suxian doubted, "But why do I feel it's similar to the two snakes that we saw underground? However, these two have two little horns on their heads; their tails look a bit different too..."
After hearing Bai Suxian's words, all the others fixated onto the bracelet out of curiosity...
"Let's talk about it back in the airboat..."
Zhang Tie smiled as he grasped Bai Suxian's hand and flew towards the airboat in the distance, closely followed by all the others. Bai Suxian still had not found Zhang Tie's complete recovery as she was still injecting her spiritual energy into Zhang Tie's body. However, Zhang Tie didn't stop her at this moment...
What happened in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was completely a farce for Zhang Tie. However, through this farce, Zhang Tie gained more achievements than that he could imagine. When he was flying towards the airboat, Zhang Tie finally figured it out why there were so many liars in this world. Because sometimes one performance could bring a liar too much profit, which was even more useful than killing 100 demon knights.
'Actually, it feels good acting a liar occasionally!' Zhang Tie murmured.
...
Three hours later, in a lounge of the airboat, Zhang Tie had finished his story about what happened downside there as they enjoyed the tea.
Of course, Zhang Tie didn't say that he was already the head of Great Wilderness Sect; nor did he say that this crisis was just a performance between Yun Zhongzi and him since the beginning. He told what the others knights downside there had experienced and witnessed.
Both Bai Runshan and Immortal Deyang were convinced that Zhang Tie could win this bet because of Zhang Tie's former military exploits and his ability as a divine dominator. Nobody knew how many trump cards did Zhang Tie Immortal Qianji have. Given Zhang Tie's ability, he might be able to survive the besiege of one sage-level knight and two heavenly Knight-level boas.
Over these years, the "surprises" even "shocks" that Zhang Tie had brought to them had long enabled those familiar ones to blindly rely on and trust him as if Zhang Tie was almighty.
Soon after Zhang Tie's speech, Bai Suxian had clapped her hands as she said pleasantly, "Aah, I finally understand why Yun Zhongzi looked so bad when he flew out of the exit. Only after throwing a glance at us, he had flown away. It turns out that he's lost the bet and feels embarrassed showing off..."
