The main reason why Su Liqing felt sad was because of the terms set by the Old Fairy Bai Yao. This strange villa rule had been known to him since his first visit to the "Bai Ling Villa", and he must strictly follow it every time he visited.
Although Baiyao Laoxian is only a Xuan-level monk, because of his superb knowledge of elixirs, he is very rare among the demon clan who generally have low qualifications in alchemy. Many high-level monks, especially those from the demon clan, have learned from him.
He had received a lot of help here, so as an "ordinary" prefecture-level monk, Su Liqing would never dare to break the other party's rules.
Being photographed here in a hurry was the main reason for Su Liqing's melancholy.
As a leader in charge of a large amount of resources within the sect, he was not afraid of such harsh rules, but he was not prepared in advance today. However, those two people were probably worse than himself. Su Liqing glanced at Jiang Feng and Pu Tiexin from the corner of his eye.
, I thought to myself, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to leave safely today without bleeding, and maybe the result will be disastrous.
However, Jiang Feng could not be captured safely, and he needed to make other plans.
Jiang Feng was confused, but Pu Tiexin seemed to have heard something, and his face immediately turned red. However, he seemed not sure whether the rumors were true, so he asked, "I dare to ask the old immortal, are the rules here mandatory?"
What do you want, and at the same time do you need to come up with something that makes you excited?"
"That's right, no matter who you are, anyone who enters Old Man Villa must follow this rule. It is written clearly on the Danxia stone wall when entering the mountain." The old immortal Bai Yao stroked his long silver beard, although he immediately
It seems that these three people were forcibly captured by Brother Liu Shizhou of the Tianluo Sect for their own reasons. They were not people who came to seek elixirs from the right way. However, if you think about it carefully, this reason is nothing. The rules are the rules.
If you have bad luck, blame others.
"What if I can't take it out?"
"I can take any five of the things I have on me. Don't worry, I take things based on my preference. I am not a greedy person." Baiyao Lao Xian's eyebrows were full of joy and he stretched out three fingers to indicate. He seemed to be quite familiar with setting this rule.
Proudly, "If you are empty-handed, just plant medicine here for me for five years."
What kind of breaking of the rules is this... And why did you take out three fingers? It was obviously five years.
Jiang Feng was complaining and cheering in his heart. He didn't expect that there was such a weird arrangement here. Xiao Mingzhen didn't explain it to him in detail beforehand, but the weird old man just said that there was something clearly stated on the stone wall when he entered the mountain.
However, today is not a normal visit. Otherwise, I would have seen it early and prepared it in advance. Now, if I want to bring out something that will make the other party interested, what exactly is appropriate?
Spirit stones are definitely not possible, so there are only magic weapons and non-standard talismans. Thinking of this Jiang Feng can't help but feel extremely painful. Moreover, the most important problem is that the initiative itself is completely in the hands of the other party, not in the hands of the other party.
Own.
If the opponent is happy, an ordinary stone can pass the test. If he is unhappy, nothing can be seen. This rule seems a bit too overbearing. But when the stone is mentioned, Jiang Feng has some thoughts in his mind. He doesn't know.
Whether this is possible depends on the fact that the Bai Yao Old Immortal is only at the Xuan level, but judging from the respectful appearance of the two Nascent Soul monks in front of him, it is probably impossible to forcefully leave regardless of the rules.
This Old Immortal of Hundred Medicines should have a transcendent status in the world of monks. Why did I only hear a little about it before? Could it be that my horizons are too low and I know little about the world of alchemy, or that my own circle is too closed?
"Old Immortal, my two brothers are not considered to have entered the mountain for the second time, right?"
Nascent Soul cultivator Liu Shizhou on the side frowned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered this detail. When he captured the three people in the scene, they were far away from the mountain gate. Now that they have returned, it is indeed possible to enter the mountain again.
It makes sense, but...it's a bit too far-fetched and unfair.
"Is I such an unreasonable person?"
The Baiyao Old Immortal's face suddenly became a little unhappy, and he shook his head and said, "I just asked you for help, and I agreed to exchange it with you for the "Wild King Yi Marrow Pill", so there is no need to worry. However, this kind of improved qualifications
The refining conditions for the fourth-level elixir are very harsh, and I have never refined it before. In addition, there was another elixir that I had doubts about before, so I need a tester. In this case, I'm afraid you will have to wait for six
Only a month will do. In fact, with how much cultivation you two brothers have, there is no need to use this kind of elixir. Why don't you listen to me, break away from the body of a boy, and find a suitable cauldron to drain away the accumulation. Your qualifications will definitely improve a lot.
"
"Old Immortal, we can wait for six months, but our technique is really strange. Your suggestion..."
"It's okay if you don't want to listen," Baiyao Old Immortal interrupted the two of them, habitually squeezing his lips and causing his silver beard to tremble, "What I said, you just treat it as what I said casually. If you can wait, then wait.
Bar."
The other party did not listen to his suggestion, and the displeasure on Bai Yao Lao Xian's face was clear, but he immediately raised his brows and glanced at the remaining three people, "What did you bring today? Let me see if there is anything interesting."
Thing? Su Liqing, we are old acquaintances, how about you come first?"
Jiang Feng looked towards
Su Liqing suddenly felt that his complexion was like Danxia.
Oh, by the way, the stone wall I just mentioned is called "Danxia Stone Wall". It turns out that the name has such an allusion. It seems that everyone who comes here to ask for elixirs will be embarrassed. Jiang Fengming
He knew that sooner or later it would be his turn, but seeing Su Liqing defeated, he couldn't help but feel happy for a moment.
Su Liqing hesitated for a while and took out a silk handkerchief. It was the magic weapon that had been used to capture Jiang Feng before. Under the inspection of "Linglong Baoguang", this magic weapon glowed with blue and purple light, and its quality should be good.
Reaching the third level, the effect is quite practical.
Baiyao Laoxian glanced at it for a few times without much interest, "Generally speaking, are there any others?"
Su Liqing's face became more and more ugly. He clenched his right hand tightly and rubbed his thumb on his index finger for a moment. Then he took out a short silver stick as thick as a small snake. Jiang Feng looked at it as well. It still looked like a third-order one, but
The formation engraved on it seems to be more delicate, and the purple light is more intense.
"It's okay." The old immortal Baiyao picked up the treasure and tasted it carefully for a moment. He was barely satisfied. He relaxed his brows and changed his indifferent attitude towards Su Liqing. "Master Su, what do you want to get when you enter the valley this time?"
?”
"It's the same type of elixir that I asked you for before." Su Liqing's face twitched a little, and he must have felt a little bit pained by the loss of this item. However, when asked what he wanted to ask for, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"That's fine." said the old Immortal Bai Yao, "Originally, I rarely refine this kind of unorthodox elixir that 'helps give birth to children', but you asked for it many times, and I also tried to refine it in my spare time. Unexpectedly,
I have gained something. Since you need it, you can just take this 'Dragon-bearing White Shou Pill', but it will cost you a hundred years of life, are you willing?"
"Yes!" Su Liqing's head, which was a little sad because of the loss of the treasure, suddenly raised his head, as if he saw the dawn in the dark night, "Thank you, old immortal!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's fate whether we have it or not. If you had come three days later, I might have used it to feed the monkeys in the back mountain." The old immortal Bai Yao took out a blue flower jade vase from his sleeve and handed it to
Su Liqing said, "In this way, the deal between you and me is settled. As for the trial medicine, since you will lose a hundred years of life by taking this elixir, I will not make it difficult for you and do not need your help."
"The kindness of the old immortal will never be forgotten." Su Liqing took the jade bottle and opened it carefully. The faint scent of medicine convinced him that this elixir was indeed recently refined. He was also proficient in alchemy, so he would not mistake it.
Judgment.
"You're welcome, I'm not a bad person. Besides, isn't there a young man?" He pointed at Jiang Feng, "This is the kind of person who is suitable for testing medicine."
"..."
Jiang Feng was speechless for a while. He was not only surprised at the type of Su Liqing asked for the elixir. He already had six daughters. Is it possible that he still had to find ways to work hard to have a son? At his age, could it be possible that he had such a problem in this regard?
Question? In addition, he felt strange that Baiyao Laoxian had anchored himself as a "drug tester" in advance, saying that he was not a bad person? I don't think so. But since he had been selected early, he immediately had it in his mind
An idea.
"Old immortal, I can cooperate with you in testing the medicine, but can't I let my brother go?"
He knew that Pu Tiexin had destroyed most of his personal magic weapons in the fight just now, so he probably wouldn't be able to bring out anything that would impress the old immortal Bai Yao. If five items were taken away, Pu Tiexin might even have his red robe taken away.
, this old man said he was not greedy for money, but he would not choose the most common talisman.
"What qualifications do you have to bargain? Unless you come up with two things that make my heart beat."
"good!"
Seeing Pu Tiexin's confused but grateful look, Jiang Feng was further convinced that Pu Tiexin's pocket was indeed empty, but this was also caused by his own poor planning. Logically speaking, Pu Tiexin came all the way to help him without saying a word. Jiang Feng felt that
You are the one who owes it.
Thinking of stones before, Jiang Feng remembered that in his storage bag, there were also those strange things that he had taken from Cai Qiuzhen's Ningfeng shop. Neither he nor Cai Qiuzhen could understand such things, and they might be seen by the old immortal Bai Yao.
One light.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng took out a round piece of green ore with strange textures that merged together. The pattern was like an open umbrella cover, more like two cattail fans merged together.
"Qian Xuan Ye Yuan Jing!"
The Baiyao Old Immortal looked at it and told the name of the object, "It is indeed a rare object. It is only bred in the nearly 1,000-foot crystal mineral vein. However, it is of no great use. It is just a rare object condensed from heaven and earth. And this
The thing is not complete. What else, I am not interested in this thing."
Huh? This old man still has some knowledge. He can actually distinguish things that Cai Qiuzhen, who is good at refining, cannot see. Jiang Feng thought for a while and took out a semicircular oval stone from the storage bag.
There is a strange vine growing at the end. It is brown but has no leaves, but it can be seen that it is a living thing.
"This is..." The old Immortal Bai Yao couldn't tell what this thing was at this time, and even brothers Su Liqing and Liu Shizhou couldn't help but cast curious glances.
"This should be some kind of mutated 'Shouto', it's not complete.
It needs to be nourished by 'rootless water' for several years before it can recover. The peculiarity of this substance is that it can increase longevity by swallowing it directly. It does not conflict with other elixirs, and there is no suitable elixir for it. Although it is rare, I
Still not interested, is there anything else?"
"Jiang Feng, can you give it to me?" Su Liqing on the side interjected. Hearing that this product can replenish longevity and does not conflict with other elixirs, he became interested because he had just received the elixir but it had side effects.
"Why? Are you willing to give up my Asayama Sect?"
"What's wrong with merging into the Jincheng Sect? I'll marry my daughter to you." Su Liqing saw that Bai Yao Lao Xian didn't stop himself from interrupting, so he continued, "You are still young. When you are successful and look back on the past, this will definitely
It's the right decision."
"I don't know whether it's true or not. I only know that the inheritance left by my ancestors cannot be destroyed in my hands."
Jiang Feng argued loudly. He naturally understood in his heart that after the merger, the new Jincheng Sect was indeed stronger. He had just figured out Su Liqing's purpose, which was to annex the Qianshan Sect before the new war of the Seven Alliance came.
There is nothing wrong with creating an atmosphere of unity within the sect and working together to deal with the outside world, but this directly harms or even sacrifices one's own interests, and what is obtained in exchange is an unwarranted inheritance, which is not one's own, but the heir's.
Although in the long run, a few people with excellent qualifications and clear paths will probably not be suppressed by the Jincheng Sect, and will even get more training resources because of it, but those with average qualifications, those who place their hopes on themselves and believe that they can
What about the disciples of the sect who changed their destiny? How should they deal with themselves after the merger? When more monks compete for the resources of the Jincheng Sect, they will only become obscene, sink into the sand, and live in mediocrity from then on. Mobile version
::
Moreover, from a personal selfish point of view, he cannot accept that the sect that he has managed and worked hard for will be transferred to the hands of others. Can a precarious owner of the Blackwater Sect's hometown be as full of possibilities and hope as the current head of the Asanshan Sect?
? He often thinks that the sect will support him in return. By then, won’t he become a bubble like the bright moon in the water?
"I can protect you to the prefecture level." Su Liqing seemed to understand Jiang Feng's hidden worries.
"I will do it myself." Jiang Feng threw the incomplete "Shou Teng" to Su Liqing, "You will pay for your life, don't chase my brother."
"Hmph." Su Liqing breathed out from his nostrils, "If he doesn't mess with me, I have no interest in Beijianmen." Su Liqing accepted Shou Teng and agreed to this condition by default. As for whether the Qianshan Sect can be merged into the Jincheng Sect, he doesn't believe it.
Jiang Feng would not be able to submit obediently if he resorted to force, but at Bailing Villa, he could not use force.
"You guys seem to have a lot of stories." Baiyao Laoxian listened, his expression became strange and even a little excited, "I mean Liu Shizhou, it seems that you have a story behind why you caught them, so you might as well tell them first."
"Oh, I made the old immortal laugh. Since you are interested, I will tell you. Head Su, the Tianluo Sect is now connected with the Jincheng Sect. How about an alliance between you and me? I have no regard for the Biyun Sect's territory.
I have some interest." Liu Shizhou said straightforwardly. This is also because his cultivation level is higher than that of Su Liqing. If the Tianluo Sect had not separated from the Wei State, there would still be factors that needed stability internally, and the Qi State to the east needed to be on guard. His
Attitude will only become more arrogant.
"Okay." Su Liqing only thought about it for a moment before giving the answer, "How about staying at Tianyin Temple? Will it be any hindrance?"
"That's your business. Wan Yu Pavilion and Tong Guang will mostly fight to a draw. Your Jincheng sect will probably not be adjacent to Tianyin Temple or have few borders. What you need to consider in advance is probably the Qing Yu sect.
matter."
oh?
Hearing this, Su Liqing's pupils contracted and he hesitated a little, but he soon calmed down and said, "That's fine, thank you for reminding me. I will send someone to Tianluomen as soon as possible when this matter is over."
"As for this fellow Taoist, I hope you will give this letter to your leader and ask him to forward it to Qi Hengtai, the leader of Qi State." Liu Shizhou took out a letter sealed with vermilion lacquer, "Although it will delay some time, I think
Qi Hengtai also likes this method of communication." When he saw Pu Tiexin receiving the letter, he continued, "Old immortal, my matter is over."
"You are all the masters of a sect. You plot this and that every day. You are trapped by worldly karma and have inner demons. In the end, you still ask for the elixir from the old man. It is better to cultivate your moral character and cultivate your nature. The natural path can be expected."
"The old immortal is joking."
"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, don't you have anything to say about the head of the Qianshan Sect?"
"No, the Qianshan Sect doesn't need us to worry about it for the time being." Master Liu smiled and did not take the Xuan-level Jiang Feng to heart. Although he seemed to have missed something, the aroma that filled the room made him feel slightly uncomfortable, and he had to spend time to suppress it.
Desire arose in my heart for no apparent reason, and I thought to myself that this old man must not be refining some weird elixir with the function of Albizia Julibrissin recently.
"Now that you have taken care of the mundane matters, let's continue." Baiyao Old Immortal smiled and looked at Jiang Feng again, waiting for him to come up with something he liked.
Jiang Feng had no intention of feeling the contemptuous gaze of Brother Liu Shizhou, but he felt for a moment...
