Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 206 Full confrontation
"Oh!"

Patriarch Yuanxu slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily:
"It's just too deceiving!"

"Correct!"

Baihong Sword Immortal, who has white beard and hair and is wearing a short shirt, also has a gloomy expression:

"The innocence of Da Li is really too arrogant!"

"What else did you say to give us a chance for a fair trade? What did he think of us? It's a blatant contempt for me and other Jindan monks!"

Hear the rage of the two of them:

Sitting on the main seat of the main hall, Taoist Sansha, who was dressed in a silver-patterned black robe, did not speak, but frowned and looked at the letter in his hand.

Just a few hours ago, three letters from Luoxia Sect, in the name of Da Li Qingxu Patriarch, were sent to Tiansha Sect, Changbai Sword Sect and Xuling Sect successively.

The wording in the letter, in the eyes of these Jindan Patriarchs, can be said to be full of arrogance and condescension, with an almost charity-like gesture, saying that they will be given a chance for fair trade.

This naturally aroused the anger of several people at once, and they were shocked and angry at this kind of behavior, and cursed loudly.

Of course, what you say is one thing, but how you actually act is another.

Immediately after receiving the letter, Sword Immortal Baihong and Patriarch Yuanxu hurriedly left the mountain gate like frightened birds, and ran to Tiansha Sect together to discuss countermeasures with Taoist Sansha.

"It seems that they are still a little scared..."

Taoist Sansha held the letter, glanced at the angry Baihong Sword Immortal and Yuanxu Patriarch next to him, and made a judgment in his heart.

The ancestors of Jindan are all big figures, with countless eyeliners under their command, and the news is still very well-informed.

Decades ago, that Qingxu Daoist massacred hundreds of foundations and caused the catastrophe of Da Li. , has attracted much attention.

Just imagine--

If it wasn't for the defeat in the frontal battle, how could the three Jindan Patriarchs of Dali be willing to live under others and regard each other as the uncrowned king of Dali?
They are also one of the few Jindan cultivators in the Southwest, and they are still very clear about each other's strength. Since Patriarch Zhenyang and others can't beat Patriarch Qingxu together, the result of their joint efforts may be the same.

Facing such a fierce man, it was impossible for them not to be frightened, so they ran away immediately and took refuge with him.

After all, once that patriarch Qingxu really wanted to attack, their mountain gate formation might not be able to stop him.

"...Brother Sansha."

Patriarch Yuanxu and Baihong Sword Immortal had almost vented their anger, and the anger in their hearts eased, so they asked:
"What do you think of such a domineering and insolent proposal by Patriarch Qingxu?"

"He is so eager for the wind-breathing mountain copper, it must be of great use to his progress in cultivation or cultivation of supernatural powers. If we agree to him, it will be tantamount to the enemy."

"But if you don't agree to him and he comes to your door, the consequences will be unpredictable..."

Taoist Sansha heard the words, glanced at the two of them, and then said:

"What you really want to ask...is whether I can defeat that Patriarch Qingxu, right?"

Although he joined forces with Baihong Sword Immortal and Yuanxu Patriarch, and took the dominant position in the cooperation of the three, it was because he obtained the ancient spirit treasure in the Emerald Shrine and greatly increased his strength.

But relying on Lingbao is not their own strength after all, which has also caused these two people to be a little bit dissatisfied with him in the past few years.

Even the "Brother Dao" just now is because of a letter from Patriarch Qingxu, which has brought them extreme security anxiety, so they have to give in a little bit.

"That's what I mean."

Sword Immortal Baihong and Patriarch Yuanxu didn't mean to shy away from it, they admitted it openly.

It has to be said that Patriarch Qingxu's name is too terrifying, and they really don't have the confidence in their hearts. If Taoist Sansha can't deal with him even if he holds the Lingbao, then they really have to think carefully about whether to borrow the donkey or not.

If a few taels of wind-breathing mountain copper angered the other party, and as a result, your own sect was angered and shattered, it would be a small loss.

"Um……"

Taoist Sansha pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and said:

"I don't know much about Patriarch Qingxu. I only know that he is the inheritor of Wuxing Sanren, the overlord of the Southwest 2000 years ago, and he also practiced the profound art of refining the formation into the body."

"What is his mana, what kind of magic weapon he wields, what supernatural powers he is good at... I don't know anything about it."

"However, judging from the fact that Patriarch Zhenyang and the others were convinced and did not do any tricks secretly in Dali, I am afraid that his strength is even stronger than we imagined. He won the battle very easily back then, and it was only then that Patriarch Zhenyang was completely eliminated. Waiting for people's delusion."

At the end, he paused for a moment before giving a basic conclusion:
"Based on the current situation, if I fight him head-on, I won't be in danger of protecting myself, but if I want to win the battle, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

"Even with the help of your two fellow daoists, the odds of winning are quite slim..."

Hearing the words of Taoist Sansha:

Sword Immortal Baihong and Patriarch Yuanxu looked at each other, both looked a little ugly and couldn't speak.

Even Taoist Sansha, who is in charge of the ancient Lingbao, admits that he is not as good as him, so they are even more apprehensive and dare not offend each other.

"Then it seems that we can only agree to his conditions."

Baihong Jianxian's expression was a little ugly, and he spoke after a while:

"We can still protect ourselves when we get together, but the sect of Daoist Yuanxu and I can't stop him."

"In order to prevent the mountain gates of our two families from being angered, we can only trade Fengxi Mountain Copper to him, and the price cannot be set too high..."

After his words fell, Patriarch Yuanxu on the side and Taoist Sansha on the main seat fell silent.

The situation is stronger than people, what can I do?

"call!"

Patriarch Yuanxu took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said:

"Brother Sansha, Fellow Daoist Baihong,"

"Currently, the worst-case scenario in our judgment has already happened! Patriarch Haihe and Fairy Xiaguang really found foreign aid, and it was a strong aid like Da Li Qingxu!"

"We also have to act immediately, otherwise we won't be able to defeat them in the Emerald Shrine..."

Sword Immortal Baihong hesitated for a moment before asking:
"What do you mean... we also need two foreign aids?"

"Correct."

Patriarch Yuanxu said in a deep voice:
"When it is broken, it will be disrupted."

"Since the opponent's strength is stronger than ours, then we naturally cannot sit still."

He said, looking at Taoist Sansha on the main seat, and motioned:
"Brother Sansha, what do you think?"

"This……"

Taoist Sansha frowned deeply when he heard the words, he couldn't help hesitating.

For a secret, the more people know it, the harder it is to keep it.

If their raid plan had been successful when they left the Emerald Shrine for the first time, only three people would have known the secret of the Emerald Shrine.

As long as there is no major deviation in the distribution of benefits in the follow-up actions, then this secret is expected to be kept for many years.

But after Haihe Patriarch and Xiaguang Fairy escaped successfully, this plan no longer works.

In the past few years, although they have torn their faces and confronted openly, they did not detonate an all-out war in Dayu. It was also because of this extra layer of scruples that they didn't want to force the other party to go to nowhere and spread the news.

But now the situation has changed again:
The other party has found a strong supporter like Da Li Qingxu, and it is estimated that there will be another helper, so they have no choice but to find foreign help.

A total of nine people entered the Emerald Shrine, and as long as one of them had other intentions, the secret would spread like wildfire, attracting the powerhouses of the Central Plains, and even the old monster Nascent Soul would be tempted.

At that time, the Emerald Shrine is doomed to lose their share, and they can save their lives by handing over the Emerald Order early.

"……All right."

Taoist Sansha spoke slowly, and said in a deep voice:
"Then seize the last few months and find two extremely powerful Jindan monks to help us fight against Patriarch Qingxu!"

He finally realized that with the development of the matter, it was impossible to keep it secret.

Then entering the Emerald Shrine this time is likely to be their last entry, so of course they must do their best and use all the means they can to get as far as possible.

"Brother Dao, don't worry!"

Ancestor Yuanxu heard the words, a smile appeared on his face:
"There are very few strong men in the Southwest, but in Jing Guo, Xu Guo, Gui Guo, and Mani, Bingzang and other countries farther away, we still know some strong men in Jindan, some of them The relationship between the few is not bad."

"There are still a few months left, enough to pick out the two most suitable ones to join forces against Qingxu!"

…………

Inside the Luoxia Sect.

Zhang Yao, Fairy Luoxia, and Patriarch Haihe still got together to discuss matters related to the Emerald Shrine and Taoist Sansha, and other Golden Core cultivators.

"...As expected, fellow daoists expected."

Fairy Xiaguang smiled and said:

"After receiving the letter from the fellow daoist, they immediately panicked and rushed to the gate of the Tiansha sect to report to the group to keep warm, and they couldn't even take care of their own sect."

"Of course."

Haihe Patriarch took a sip of spiritual tea and responded:
"They are very shrewd and will not let themselves be in crisis."

A very simple truth:

If the disciple of the disciple dies, he can be recruited again; if the important place of the mountain gate is destroyed, it can be rebuilt.

But if the pillar of the suzerain, the ancestor of Jindan, died, then the sect would basically be over, and there would be no chance of a second rise. The wolves and tigers around would swarm up and tear this fat pig to pieces.

To a certain extent, they saved themselves, that is, the sect. With the wandering Jindan Patriarch outside, the opponents were somewhat scruples.

"Pity……"

There was a trace of regret in Fairy Xiaguang's tone:
"If we can get rid of them in advance, then we will have no opponents in the Emerald Shrine."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao shook his head and said:

"It's more difficult, otherwise I would have done it instead of sending the letter."

Leaving aside the Taoist Sansha, Patriarch Yuanxu and Baihong Sword Immortal are not alone.

The three-tier formation has been built and blessed for hundreds of years, and the ancestor of Jindan sits at the center. Even though Zhang Yao's strength is amazing, breaking through it is not something that can be done overnight.

If time dragged on for a long time, it would be easy for all kinds of variables to change. Moreover, it would be easy for the opponent to take advantage of the opportunity to escape due to the formation barrier, and Zhang Yao might not be able to catch the opponent.

"Friend Qingxu..."

Fairy Xiaguang heard his words, looked around with her beautiful eyes, and asked in a low voice:
"At this moment, the Taoist Sansha, Patriarch Yuanxu and Baihong Sword Immortal are gathering at the gate of Tiansha Sect."

"If we join forces, we might have the opportunity to wipe them all out and completely eliminate future troubles..."

"This……"

Zhang Yao pondered for a moment before asking cautiously:

"What kind of ancient spirit treasure is held in the hands of Taoist Sansha, and what power does it have?"

Zhang Yao didn't pay much attention to the three ordinary golden elixir stages.

But the ancient Lingbao in the other party's hands is really a huge variable and threat, so he can't help but pay attention to it.

"We don't know much about that either."

Ancestor Haihe on the side opened his mouth and said:

"However, it is certain that it should not be a killing type spirit treasure."

"Correct."

Fairy Xiaguang on the side also added:

"If it was Dawei Neng's killing spirit treasure, then we would have died at the gate of the Emerald Shrine, and there is no way we could escape."

"Based on my guess, it may be of the body-protecting type, or it may be of the auxiliary type..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao frowned and said:

"Then it will be difficult."

If you know the specific information of the other party's Lingbao, you can make a targeted plan.

If you don't know anything about it, that's the most terrifying thing. After all, no one knows what effect it has, and it's very likely that the ship will capsize in the gutter.

"If it's really the type of body protection and life protection, then the three of us will join forces to attack, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed in one battle."

Hearing what Zhang Yao said, Fairy Xiaguang showed a hint of helplessness on her face, but she couldn't say much.

"Ancestor!"

At this time, the Daoist Master of the Luoxia Sect hurried over and stopped at the gate of Yougu.

Fairy Xiaguang poked out her divine thoughts, and after exchanging a few breaths, she chuckled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu, it seems that your reputation is really full of deterrent power."

"Patriarch Yuanxu and Baihong Sword Immortal have already agreed to your terms of exchanging Fengxi Mountain Copper. The price they offered is one or two Fengxi Mountain Copper and 50 low-grade spirit stones."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao nodded and said:

"The price is not expensive."

One tael of wind-breathing mountain copper is worth close to a magic weapon, and if converted into spirit stones, it would cost at least a million.

As for Yuanxu Patriarch and Baihong Sword Immortal, the price was halved, obviously with a hint of flattery, for fear that Zhang Yao would anger the sect behind them.

"so be it."

Zhang Yao nodded and gestured:
"Send a letter to tell them that I agree to exchange, and I want all the wind-breathing mountain copper in their hands."

This exchange, with his wealth, would inevitably lead to a hemorrhage.

But there are still a few months before entering the Emerald Shrine, the most urgent task is to increase strength as much as possible, and some price must be paid.

Furthermore, if you really want to gain something in the Emerald Shrine, you may find a chance to recover these costs.

…………

A few days later.

Relying on several Jiji Daoist from each other's sects to act as liaison officers, Zhang Yao completed the exchange with Yuanxu Patriarch and Baihong Sword Immortal.

He spent more than 100 million low-grade spirit stones, tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones, and a magic weapon, and finally got all the wind-breathing mountain copper.

Sword Immortal Baihong and Old Ancestor Yuanxu received about the same amount of Fengxi Mountain Copper as Fairy Xiaguang, adding up to nearly nine taels.

A floating island in the sea and sky, inside a palace.

Zhang Yao sat cross-legged, looked at the pieces of Fengxi Mountain Copper placed in front of him, and showed a smile:
"Finally you can start practicing 'Tianfeng Invisible Body'..."
