Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 121 Just kidding, who doesn't know that I, Wang Teng, am upright and honest?
Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the people present were slightly taken aback, and Peacock King even smiled, feeling that Wang Teng was implying something.

But Wang Teng just smiled and didn't say anything more.

The harvest from this mining area is all stored in the warehouse, which is only about half full. Most of the stones are empty, with no source inside.

Wang Teng was a little curious. Would the stone workshop really accept all such stones?
He didn't shy away from asking the question directly.

“We mainly deal with these stone quarries in two ways. Some of the better quality ones are consigned to various stone workshops, while the rest are sent to stone workshops that we secretly control. These are sold slowly as scraps,” the Azure Dragon King said.

After all, this mining area is not a large one, and the stones mined are not of the best quality. It is difficult for Shengdi Shijia Stone Workshop to accept all of them. Even if they are sent to their own small workshop, most of them are scraps from the first two or three layers, and the prices are very cheap, allowing ordinary people who are not proficient in gambling on stones to practice and try their luck.

“After all, there are so many people in the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region. Many of them have families to support, including the elderly and the young. It’s too difficult to feed everyone just by plundering,” said the Azure Dragon King.

The Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Regions are not just a dozen or so people; each of them has a group of brothers under their command.
Moreover, even if they plundered the Holy Land's mining areas, some of the stone mines would still need to be processed. It's impossible for them to mine all the stone mines themselves, as that would undoubtedly reduce their profits. It would be better to simply package them up and sell them to other Holy Land stone workshops that aren't afraid of trouble.

"In reality, don't be fooled by the lofty and aloof demeanor of those holy land families. They have never represented justice, and some of them have even secretly trained a group of bandits," the Azure Dragon King continued.

To gain a foothold in the Northern Region, one must be ruthless or resourceful.

There are far fewer rules here than in the Southern Region; the law of the jungle prevails, and that's the only rule here.

Therefore, the Northern Regions gathered thirteen major bandits.

These people came from all over the country, some from the Southern Region and some from the central part of the Eastern Wilderness.

For what?
Isn't it precisely because this place is rich in resources and doesn't have too many rules?
"I see." Wang Teng nodded.

The Wang family also has some mining areas here, but they are far from the mining areas controlled by the aristocratic families of the Eastern Wilderness Holy Land. They are located in the northwest of the Northern Region, where the environment is even worse than here. Wang Teng has heard some news about them, but has never been there.

"If you're interested, young brother, you can join our Thirteen Great Bandits. We'll take you to raid the mining areas. We'll rob them, and you can decide which stones to keep. The rest will be sold to the stone workshops of other holy land families, making a killing off their resources!"

The Azure Dragon King chuckled and began addressing Wang Teng, changing his form of address repeatedly until he finally called him "little brother."

However, what he said was indeed what he had been hoping for.

In this way, although they are still plundering mining areas, their profits will increase significantly, and they will no longer miss out on many high-quality stone mines as before.

"That's definitely a good idea! Let's expand and strengthen it!" King Peacock also thought it was feasible and nodded repeatedly.

"Let's talk about this later. Let's go check out the base in the Northern Region first," Wang Teng said with a smile.

Damn it, he cultivated his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, but he hadn't used it much in battle. Then, after arriving in the Northern Region, he suddenly found a place to use it. Two powerful figures called him brother and wanted to recruit him.

“Alright! Let’s go to the camp!” Azure Dragon King nodded.

He was in a good mood now and roughly understood why the Peacock King was willing to be so close to Wang Teng.

Because at this moment, he wanted to get closer to Wang Teng.

Even without using the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye ability in battle, he could practically roam freely in the Northern Region, receiving esteemed hospitality from holy lands and aristocratic families. Just this small mine's warehouse alone, after Wang Teng's visit, could see its actual profits multiply many times over!
Although there are fewer stones, all the ore deposits with heterogeneous sources have been selected, and the profits from these are much greater than those from selling ore deposits.

Therefore, doubling profits is indeed possible.

Jade gambling, in essence, is gambling; it's a gamble between the stone workshop and the customer.

However, now there's someone who can see the cards.

It's easy to see how important Wang Teng is.

The Azure Dragon King has made up his mind that no matter what, he must form an alliance with the Peacock King to protect Wang Teng!
Even if their starting points are different, he will make the right choice for his own benefit.

On the way back to the Azure Dragon King's residence, the Peacock King smiled as he weighed the alien source, which was about the size of his head.

"Little Wang, when shall we go to the Ji Family Stone Workshop?" the Peacock King asked.

He couldn't wait any longer.

"I'll go when I have a new identity," Wang Teng said without turning his head.

Wang Teng's identity allows him to befriend various powerful forces, making it unnecessary for his true self to personally intervene.

In his Dao Palace, there are a total of five Dao Palace deities, but only two of them are currently in use.

Wu Liang, disguised as a compassionate monk, is being relentlessly hunted down by the Ji family and the Yao Guang Holy Land, along with a wicked Taoist priest.

The other is Senior Brother Zhuofeng, who was recognized by the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and became its young master, in charge of the Desolate Slaves. He is backed by the Ruthless Great Emperor and is currently receiving his inheritance there, cultivating the modified version of the Self-Slaying Enlightenment Technique.

The other three Dao Palace deities are still within the Dao Palace temples within his own body; drawing one out would be just right.

"You brat, you're not really going to join the Thirteen Great Bandits, are you?" The Peacock King was eager to try.

Although Wang Teng's strength is not enough, he is strong enough!

The mighty Peacock King, who roamed the southern regions of the Eastern Wilderness eight hundred years ago, was an unparalleled powerhouse. If he were to join the Thirteen Great Bandits, he might become the new Great Bandit.

The two of them working together would definitely be more powerful than most of the Thirteen Great Bandits!
"I didn't. That's what you said. I, Wang Teng, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. How could I possibly join the Thirteen Great Bandits?" Wang Teng immediately denied it.

Just kidding, who doesn't know that the young master of the Beiyuan Wang family is promising and upright?
What would it be like if he really joined the Thirteen Great Bandits?
If others find out, won't my public image be ruined?

Therefore,
“Although I, Wang Teng, cannot join the Thirteen Great Bandits, however,” Wang Teng said, and from his body emerged a proud young man with a full head of red hair.

"I, Qi Hao, can still join the Thirteen Great Bandits, and together with the powerful Peacock King, I aspire to become the fourteenth Great Bandit, making the Holy Land families tremble with fear!" The arrogant young man with a full head of red hair spoke arrogantly.
