Chapter 573 The Holy Gift of Tides

The obese monk naturally had the intention of wooing Fang Dushu by telling him the requirements for joining the Taiping Alliance.

During the critical period of the war, with one more master in the transformation stage to assist, the Taiping Alliance's chances of winning will be even higher.

However, the obese monk had had contact with the Shenzhou monks before. He knew that the Shenzhou monks had their own sect forces and would not easily intervene in the disputes on Kun-Lai Island, so he did not act too hastily.

"We've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know the name of fellow Taoist. It's really rude!" The obese monk first introduced himself: "I'm Tian Xuanqing, fellow Taoist, you've seen it too. I'm bloated, and fellow Taoists in the alliance like to call me Fatty Tian. Some people call out "Tian Liangshi!"

Tian Xuanqing guessed that Fang Dushu landed on Kun-Lai Island for the first time and did not know the situation of the Taiping Alliance, so he added one more sentence: "I, the founder of the Taiping Alliance, taught countless disciples throughout his life, but he never called himself a master. All the allies regard him as a 'good teacher and helpful friend', and after he ascends, in order to commemorate him, colleagues in the alliance will call each other 'good teacher' and 'good friend'."

Fang Dushu complimented: "The ancestor of Guimeng is generous and generous. He is truly an unparalleled and famous teacher of Taoism, which makes Fang admire him deeply."

He immediately introduced himself to his family.

When Tian Xuanqing heard Fang Dushu call Shi Gongdan his uncle earlier, he thought that Fang Dushu was also a disciple of Qingshi Palace, so he immediately called Fang Dushu 'Master Fang Qing'.

Fang Dushu did not correct him and let Tian Xuanqing shout.

Kun-Lai Island is remote, and the monks on the island have almost no contact with the Qinghe Divine Continent. After all, they guard a Tongtian River where river treasures can be thrown at any time. The monks on the island have no interest in setting foot in the Divine Continent.

Due to the isolation of Kunlun, it is difficult for the monks of Shenzhou to land on the island. Except for a few strong ones in the God Transformation stage, the rest cannot get a glimpse of the true face of Kun-Lai Island.

This has also led to the inability of monks from the two places to communicate with each other from ancient times to the present, so it doesn't matter what Tian Xuanqing calls him. Anyway, the Five Sacred Palaces are connected by the same energy, and there is nothing wrong with Fang Dushu calling himself a Qingshi.

After the introduction was completed, Fang Dushu pointed to the battlefield and began to ask the question he was most concerned about: "I dare to ask Master Tian, ​​this battle is so fierce and the scale is so grand. Is your alliance participating in the robbery of Tongtian River?"

Tian Xuanqing immediately shook his head: "There is an iron rule in our alliance, which is to resolutely safeguard the shared rights of Tongtian River and never allow any force to occupy it privately. Naturally, our alliance will not have any intention of getting involved!"

"So, your alliance is trying to prevent the Jiuyuan Sect and Xiaoyao Palace from getting involved in Tongtian River?"

"No! Since the establishment of our alliance, we have competed with Jiuyuan Kunshi and Xiaoyao Taoist many times. Now the strength of the three parties is evenly matched, and no one has the ability to dominate Tongtian River!"

"Then why did your confrontation begin?"

"It seems that Master Fang Qing has undoubtedly landed on the island for the first time! Our Alliance, Jiuyuan Sect and Xiaoyao Palace are competing for the 'Tide Sacred Gift'. In a few days, the Holy Gift Day will arrive. Who can Whoever seizes more river positions will be able to harvest more river treasures!"

"The Holy Gift of Tides?"

"Yes! Normally, there is no pattern in the river treasures dropped in Tongtian River. It is completely random. Moreover, the number of river treasures dropped each time is limited. Rare treasures are hard to come by, often every few years or even several times. It takes ten years to encounter one!”

"The number of river treasures dropped by the Tide Sacred Gift must be more, right?"

"There are indeed a lot of them! Each 'Tide Gift' lasts for dozens of days, and a tidal wave breaks out every day. The river treasures thrown out from the tide are huge in number and rich in variety. , that is breathtaking! However, the 'Tide Gift' only comes once every three thousand years. We monks in the transformation stage may not be able to encounter it once in our lifetime, so we must not miss it!"

"Three thousand years?"

Fang Dushu was quite surprised when he heard this and turned to look at the Flower Witch. The Flower Witch immediately nodded to him. The ‘Tide Gift’ did exist on Kun-Lai Island.

The previous Flower Witch had heard about the situation of the ‘Tide Sacred Gift’, but had never experienced such a grand event in person.

As a result, the Flower Witch was not deeply impressed. When she observed the three-party melee earlier, she did not think of the 'Tide Gift'.

Originally, Tian Xuanqing guessed that Fang Dushu was approaching the Tongtian River battlefield alone, and that he should be here for the gift from Tide, but now seeing Fang Dushu's demeanor, he knew that he had guessed Fang Dushu's purpose wrong.

However, as long as the Shenzhou monks land on Kun-Lai Island, they must be looking for a certain kind of river treasure. Even if Fang Dushu is not competing for gifts, there must be some kind of demand.

Tian Xuanqing took the opportunity to make an invitation: "If Master Fang Qing wants to go to Tongtian River to collect river treasures, the Taiping Alliance is willing to provide convenience for you, Master Fang Qing! After all, our alliance is a local monk and stays by the Tongtian River all year round. We have many treasures in our collection. Master Fang Qing can tell you the type of river treasure you need, and as long as our alliance has it in its collection and is willing to trade with Master Fang Qing for equal value, you don’t need to get involved in any war!"

This kind of communication attitude is very friendly.

What Tian Xuanqing said is true. When Shi Gongdan and Shenian went to the Taiping League headquarters to look for He Zhen, the good teachers of the Taiping League did not create any difficulties and enthusiastically provided information about He Zhen to Shi Gongdan and Shenian.

However, Shi Gongdan and Shenian went through all the trouble to land on Kun-Lai Island. The river treasure they were looking for must be extremely precious. The Taiping Alliance was willing to provide information, and naturally they had to receive a certain reward.

The same goes for Fang Dushu.

Tian Xuanqing is willing to introduce Fang Dushu to the Taiping League, and is also willing to find He Zhen for Fang Dushu, but all help requires a certain amount of remuneration. As long as Fang Dushu is willing to pay, he can get a fair deal in the Taiping League.

In fact, the entire Taiping Alliance is a Taiping Commercial Alliance, and all needs can be solved through transactions.

Tian Xuanqing also frankly explained the rules of the Taiping Alliance to Fang Dushu: "If the Hezhen you need, Master Fang Qing, is not available in our alliance, then Master Fang Qing can stay in our alliance temporarily and wait for the arrival of the Holy Gift Day. When the time comes, our alliance is willing to help you snatch Hezhen, but of course you need to pay some price as appropriate!"

Fang Dushu immediately asked: "What price?"

Tian Xuanqing smiled and said: "It depends on how precious the river treasure you need is. In short, the more precious the river treasure is, the higher the price you have to pay. At that time, our alliance may need you to perform some dangerous tasks, but our alliance will not There are no restrictions on you. If you feel that the mission is dangerous, you can leave at any time. Everyone can get together and disperse easily, and our alliance will never be embarrassed!"

Fang Dushu already understood what he meant, but Fang Dushu had no intention of running errands for the Taiping League.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Dushu made a ruthless request: "Master Tian, ​​my trip is indeed for a river treasure. However, before I landed on Kun-Lai Island, I already knew the whereabouts of this river treasure. Shen Feng In a certain river area of ​​the Tongtian River!

But now that we are in a war, it is not convenient for me to hunt for treasures alone. I would like to ask Mr. Tian Liang to be my guide and help me lead him to the river. Can a mentor help? "

"I can definitely help. I have a way to find a safe route for you, Master Fang Qing, so that you can reach the river quickly, and then leave quickly after fishing out the river treasure!"

Tian Xuanqing agreed immediately, but he had other words.

He rubbed his fingers at Fang Dushu: "This favor I've given you is very valuable. Master Fang Qing, you have to pay me at least 30 yuan of real gold, and I only accept real gold. I don't like other treasures." , if you think it’s expensive, then I’m afraid the deal won’t be done!”

After saying that, I remembered something I missed: "By the way, before setting off, Master Fang Qing, you need to pay me a 30% deposit, which is ten pieces of true gold. Your gold must not have flaws, hey!"

Fang Dushu liked that he clearly marked the price and was ready to agree to his conditions.

But Fang Dushu will not set off now: "Now is the juncture of the war. Tian Liangshi might as well go to participate in the Taiping Covenant first. After the 'Tide Sacred Gift' is over, we can go to that river area to salvage river treasures." Is the Holy Gift over?" Tian Xuanqing shook his head hurriedly:

"Whenever the 'Tide Sacred Gift' arrives, all the river treasures sealed in the Tongtian River will be thrown out by the tide! Master Fang Qing, if that river treasure is very important to you, I suggest you go salvage it now. On the day of the Holy Gift, It will come in seven or eight days, so you have plenty of time, but you won’t be able to find it after that, and you will definitely lose it!”

"It's actually lost?" Fang Dushu asked immediately:

"That river treasure is a clue from ten thousand years ago. It should have experienced the 'Tide Sacred Gift' two or three times during this period. How likely is it that it will be left in its original place?"

"Ten thousand years ago?" Tian Xuanqing suddenly smiled bitterly:

"Master Fang Qing, you'd better give up. I guarantee you won't find it, and it will be in vain if you go there. There is absolutely no way that He Zhen from ten thousand years ago is still in the dust now!"

When Fang Dushu heard this, he turned to look at the Flower Witch.

The Baihua Witch's expression was a little unnatural. She didn't know that the 'Tide Gift' could affect the existence of the Divine Water of Rebirth. She had already failed in her search for the Secret Fire Cave earlier, and now she was very likely to return empty-handed.

She apologized: "I'm not sure whether that thing is still in the river! It's hard for me to evaluate whether what this senior said is true!"

Fang Dushu could only make his own decision.

Now that we have arrived at Tongtian River, we must go and see it.

He thought to himself that although a war was breaking out outside the Tongtian River, there were three forces restraining each other, so his traces were not easily noticed.

If he waits until the end of the 'Tide Sacred Gift' to find Hezhen, then the three parties will stop fighting, and all the masters of the God Transformation Stage will lurk outside the river, specifically watching the treasure hunter, and it will be inconvenient for him to move.

So in terms of risk comparison, whether we go now or after the war, the situation is actually the same.

Thinking of this, Fang Dushu took out ten pieces of true gold and threw it to Tian Xuanqing: "Tian Liangshi, please lead the way. I will go to Tongtian River now."

Tian Xuanqing first checked the quality of the True Essence Gold one by one, and collected it into his sleeves with satisfaction, and then said: "Master Fang Qing, your chance of missing out is more than 90%. I have an ugly word ahead of you. No matter whether you salvage Hezhen or not, you must pay the price." The remaining twenty pieces of gold! I worked hard to guide you, I hope you will also obey the rules, I don’t want to see anything unpleasant happen!”

Fang Dushu smiled calmly: "As long as the road led by Tian Liangshi is clear, I will not default or owe money. The moment I arrive at the river, I will immediately give you the remaining true gold. There is no need to wait for the results of my salvage of river treasures!"

"it is good!"

Tian Xuanqing threw out his golden gourd: "Master Fang Qing, please climb the gourd. Let's set off now!"

He acted vigorously and with great skill. He first cast an invisibility spell and then escaped into the battlefield.

When he was on his way, he paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield and specifically selected areas where Taiping monks gathered. When he arrived dozens of miles outside the Tongtian River, he encountered no obstacles on the way.

Later, he asked Fang Dushu for the exact location. When he arrived at the water area where the 'Reborn Divine Water' was sealed, he found two monks in the transformation stage fighting nearby.

Unfortunately, these two people were from Jiuyuan Sect and Xiaoyao Palace respectively. Since the two sides were competing for the water level, if Fang Dushu dared to approach the nearby water, he would be expelled immediately by the two.

Tian Xuanqing observed the situation, turned his hand to form a messenger talisman, and teleported it away.

After a while, a tall and thin monk from the Taiping Alliance came over. This person was very familiar with Tian Xuanqing and had similar cultivation. I don’t know how Tian Xuanqing persuaded him. As soon as they met, they immediately joined forces and rushed towards the nearby Jiuyuan Sect. and the monks from Xiaoyao Palace quickly led the two away.

At this time, Tian Xuanqing's voice also reached Fang Dushu's ears: "Master Fang Qing, I can only buy you a stick of incense time. After that, the two Jiuyuan Kunshi and Xiaoyao Taoist will come back. Hurry up and get into the river." Get the treasure!"

Fang Dushu felt that Master Tian Liang was very moral, and everyone had reached an agreement to hand over the remaining twenty pieces of gold when they arrived at the river. However, Master Tian did not immediately pursue the gold, but instead called in a helper to help Fang Dushu. Dushu cleared the river, making it easier for Fang Dushu to salvage river treasures.

Unfortunately, there is no trace of the Divine Water of Rebirth in the water area pointed by the Witch of Flowers. As Tian Xuanqing said, after two or three baptisms of the 'Tide Sacred Gift', the Divine Water of Rebirth sealed here has long been thrown out by the power of the tide. outside the river.

"Master, I have neglected my duty!"

The Witch of Flowers asked Fang Dushu to apologize.

"Now is not the time to say this. We need to stay away from the river for the time being. You should pay more attention and don't be targeted by the nearby monks!"

After Fang Dushu finished speaking, he led Baihua Witch to fly away from Tongtian River.

Baihua Witch followed Fang Dushu closely, pointing to the giant lake under the Tongtian River: "Master, the teleportation gate to the South China Sea is sealed in the lake below. It is far away from the Tongtian River and will not be affected by the 'Tide Sacred Gift'. It should I won’t fail again!”

Although it will not be lost, the huge lake with a radius of several hundred miles is full of large camps. Large altars, sacrificial pillars, and spiritual peaks are densely suspended on the lake.

At first glance, these camps are the combat centers of Jiuyuan Sect, Xiaoyao Palace and Taiping League.

Fang Dushu and Baihua Witch couldn't sneak into the lake at all, and the teleportation gate couldn't be activated for the time being. They had to wait until the end of the 'Tide Gift' before they had a chance to enter the lake.

After the two of them were hundreds of miles away from the Tongtian River, Tian Xuanqing and the tall and thin monk followed them.

Fang Dushu immediately gave away twenty pieces of gold.

Tian Xuanqing took the gold and gave ten pieces to the tall and thin monk next to him. This monk was serious in speech and expression, which was in sharp contrast to Tian Xuanqing's smiling demeanor. He took the gold and gave it to Fang Dushu as a courtesy.

"Master Fang Qing, pardon my rudeness, what exactly are you searching for? Can you tell me a little bit about it? Maybe I can help!"

Tian Xuanqing did not ask Fang Dushu whether he had salvaged Hezhen just now. He believed that Fang Dushu had found nothing.

Fang Dushu couldn't leave for the time being, so he started chatting with Tian Xuanqing: "What I'm looking for is the divine water of rebirth!"

"Rebirth Divine Water?" Tian Xuanqing turned to ask the tall and thin monk: "Have you used up Mrs. Zhu's Divine Water?"
