I became a saint by cultivating demons in a strange world

Chapter 140 Just ask you if it’s worth it

After Li Xiao became a great minister of the Qianshan Sect,
Those families with different ideas in Qianshan City did not dare to make any small moves.

And this news began to spread everywhere.

This was naturally done deliberately by the Qianshan Sect.

After the news came out that the Qianshan Sect had an additional golden elixir to enshrine,

Some of the forces in Wu State that were ready to take refuge in the Yuan Zhen Sect also stopped.

The Yuan Zhen Sect also gradually stopped expanding.

Although the Yuan Zhen Sect said it was to prepare for the Golden Elixir Ceremony,
But many people still think it is because they learned that Qianshan Sect has an extra golden elixir to enshrine.

Of course, it was actually because Li Xiao ordered Nangong Jiaqin to expand almost as much as possible.

At this time, almost half of Wu State's territory had been occupied by the Yuanzhen Sect.

The Yuan Zhen Sect really needs to be digested slowly at this time.
Anyway, Qianshan Sect can't be destroyed in a while, so it's better to consolidate their own territory.

Nangong Jiaqin did receive news that the Qianshan Sect had recruited a great golden elixir worshiper.

But she didn't care, and just said calmly, "It doesn't matter, let them linger for a while, wait for the great elder to come out, and destroy the Qianshan sect in a matter of seconds."

At this time, she already had full confidence in Li Xiao,

In her mind, this master seemed to be omnipotent.

When the disciples of the Yuan Zhen Sect saw what their leader said, they were naturally very confident and began to digest the territorial resources that they had seized.

As a result, the situation of the Qianshan Sect gradually stabilized due to the addition of a certain high priest.

And Li Xiao also decided to stay in Qianshan Sect first and practice until the middle stage of Jindan.

Anyway, he had all the materials with him, but he couldn't carry the two golden elixir living materials with him.

"It would be great if there was a third-level portable cave-like magic weapon, then everything could be stored in it..."

But he just thought about it for the time being.
This kind of magic weapon is very precious and has almost no market price.

Yuanying sects such as Xuanyue Sect and Demon League may not have them.

Li Xiao occupied the cave where the ancestor of Qianshan Sect once retreated, and began to practice in retreat.

On the other side, the Golden Elixir Ceremony for the leader of the Yuan Zhen Sect was held as scheduled.

The ceremony was very grand,
Almost all the sects and forces that received the invitation came.

Among them is Lingyun Sect, another Jindan sect next to Yuanzhen Sect and Qianshan Sect.

Lingyun Sect's territory borders both Yuanzhen Sect and Qianshan Sect, and there are two monks in the early stage of Jindan Sect.

Because it is stronger than both factions and has a much larger territory, it has always remained neutral before.

Now, a golden elixir elder was directly sent to attend Nangong Jiaqin's golden elixir ceremony.

Another unexpected person was that Xuanyue Sect also sent a Jindan elder to participate.

Nangong Jiaqin was so flattered that she went out to greet them personally and brought them in.
During the banquet, the Jindan elder of Xuanyue Sect was naturally sitting in the C seat.

When other people saw that the Golden Elixir Ceremony of the Yuan Zhen Sect was so highly regarded, they also looked at it with suspicion.

Only Nangong Jiaqin was not surprised.

She knew that the biggest purpose of these two golden elixirs came not to congratulate them, but to find out about the reality of the Yuan Zhen Sect.

Sure enough, when the banquet was almost underway,
The two began to inquire about the situation of the great elder of the Yuan Zhen Sect.

Wang Buming, the Jindan Elder of Xuanyue Sect, said unceremoniously, "Why haven't you seen Fellow Daoist Feng today? Could it be that you are really injured?"

Nangong Jiaqin didn't mince words and said, "The Great Elder is indeed injured a little and is in retreat. It is not convenient to see guests. Please forgive me, Elder Wang..."

Wang Buming said in a strange tone, "Oh? Is it just a little injured? Fellow Daoist Feng and I are old acquaintances. Every time he comes to Xuanyue Sect, I am the one who receives him. He is also very polite every time and gives I’ll bring a lot of Yue’s specialties, or you’ll take me to meet him..."

Nangong Jiaqin said, "I'm sorry, Elder Wang. It's really inconvenient for the Great Elder to see guests. Please forgive me..."

Seeing her repeated refusals, Wang Buming said displeasedly, "It's rare for me to come here. Feng Shihai is so arrogant. Isn't he really so injured that he can't move?"

Nangong Jiaqin said calmly, "It's my honor and the Yuan Zhen Sect's honor that Fellow Daoist Wang can come to participate in the Golden Elixir Ceremony. But today's protagonist is me, not the Great Elder..."

She originally didn't want to offend the Xuanyue Sect people,

But this Wang Buming was aggressive, so she became a little rude.

The Jin Dan from Lingyun Sect saw that something was not right in the atmosphere, so he quickly came out to smooth things over, "Haha, you two fellow Taoists, today is a big day, let's have a few more drinks..."

Wang Buming snorted coldly and stood up, "It seems that today is unexpected. Let's go..."

After saying that, he took his servants and left directly.

Everyone didn't know why he was so angry. They just felt that the people in Xuan Yue Sect were really arrogant.

But many people wonder whether the great elder of the Yuan Zhen Sect has really died together with the ancestor of the Qianshan Sect.

Otherwise, at such an important moment, and someone from the Xuan Yue Sect is coming, even if he is injured, he should come out to see him.

The Jindan from Lingyun Sect also thought the same thing. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile,
"Fellow Taoist Nangong, I have had a great time today. I would like to congratulate you again on the success of the golden elixir. The path to immortality can be expected, so I will take my leave now..."

Nangong Jiaqin stood up to see her off.

After seeing off the two golden elixirs, the banquet was basically over, and the other guests also left one after another.

This time everyone’s purpose of coming here has basically been achieved.

Some people are here to curry favor with the Yuan Zhen Sect, and some are here to explore the reality of the Yuan Zhen Sect.
They all thought they had achieved their goal.

As for the elder of Xuanyue Sect, why did he lose his temper?
This is because the third-level top-quality formation-breaking jade talisman in the hands of the ancestor of Qianshan Sect was the one he finally got from the sect and gave it to the ancestor of Qianshan Sect.

The ancestor of Qianshan Sect not only paid a lot of spiritual stones for this jade talisman,
The most important thing is to promise that after capturing the Yuan Zhen Sect, he will give him the Yuan Zhen Sect's third-level spiritual vein and half of its territory.

As an elder of the Xuanyue Sect, he would not directly occupy these places.

Instead, he is preparing to give it to a younger member of the clan to develop into a new force in his own lineage.

These things involve intrigues and divisions of interests within the sect.

Xuanyue Sect has regulations that do not easily interfere with the fights between vassal forces.

But secret funding is definitely indispensable.

After all, there are kinships and distances between people.
The elders of Xuanyue Sect also have their own close forces.

The ancestor of Qianshan Sect originally got Wang Buming's help and was supported by him.

Of course, Wang Buming funded the Qianshan Patriarch in order to secretly gain benefits and support his own power.

Unexpectedly, he made a good plan, but it was all in vain.

So he came to the Yuan Zhen Sect to see what kind of opportunity Feng Shihai got to kill two golden elixirs holding third-level high-grade magic weapons.

But now, he really believed that Feng Shihai might have died together with the ancestor of Qianshan Sect.

Otherwise, it would be really abnormal for him to embarrass Nangong Jiaqin so much without seeing her come forward.

However, Wang Buming was cunning and cunning, but he thought of another possibility.

"Could it be that Feng Shihai really had some incredible opportunity, and he was afraid that I would see the clues, so he avoided seeing it?"

With this thought in mind, he decided to pay more attention to every move of the Yuan Zhen Sect in the future.
If Feng Shihai really got an incredible opportunity,
Even if he can't snatch it alone, he can still report it to the sect.

Let the sect take action to snatch it.

As long as you really get a big opportunity, his benefits will naturally be indispensable.

Li Xiao didn't expect that he didn't want to attract attention, so he tried his best to keep a low profile, but he was still being watched unknowingly.

But after Wang Buming left the Yuan Zhen Sect, he did not turn back to the Xuanyue Sect and actually came towards the Qianshan Sect.

"Then Xiang Qinghong succeeded more than he did, so I wasted my favor and asked for a third-level top-quality formation-breaking talisman to give to him, but I couldn't just let it go, I had to let Qianshan Sect pay the balance... "

With that said, he came to Qianshan Sect, ready to ask for the balance.

As for the fact that Qianshan Sect has a new golden elixir to worship, he doesn't care at all.

That big enshrinement, I heard, was just a golden elixir cultivator who appeared out of nowhere.

How could he care, as he was a dignified elder of Xuanyue Sect and a great monk in the middle stage of Jindan.

So he came to Qianshan Sect.

When everyone in the Qianshan Sect learned that the elder of the Xuanyue Sect was here, they naturally welcomed him in with fear.

When Wang Buming arrived, he scanned around and found that among the people who greeted him, there was no such big offering of golden elixir.

He said with a straight face, "I heard that your Qianshan Sect has an extra golden elixir to worship, why don't you see him come out to greet him?"

Xiao Zongshan said quickly, "Senior came suddenly. The great worshipper was in retreat, but he didn't know what senior was doing. The senior followed the junior to the main hall for a banquet. The junior will invite the great worshipper to come..."

Wang Buming snorted coldly and followed Xiao Zongshan into the Qianshan Sect's banquet hall.

A luxurious banquet has been prepared in the main hall.

After Xiao Zongshan introduced Wang Buming to the high seat, he quickly went to see the great enshrinement.Li Xiao was in retreat and originally didn't want to come out to meet any Xuanyue Sect elders.

But Xiao Zongshan repeatedly requested, saying that if he neglected the senior Xuanyue Sect, he would be blamed.

Li Xiao thought about it and felt that since he had taken advantage of others and wanted to stay in seclusion here for a while, it was really best not to cause trouble.

So he came out of seclusion to see the Xuanyue Sect elder.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the main hall, he felt a wave of divine consciousness sweeping towards him unscrupulously.

This kind of behavior is almost tantamount to blatant provocation.

If Li Xiao hadn't known who was releasing his spiritual consciousness in the Qianshan Sect and didn't want to make the matter a big deal, he would have taken action directly to capture him.

But naturally he wouldn't tolerate this guy.

He snorted coldly, the deep aura on his body was like a whirlpool, and the power of chaos quietly activated, swallowing up the consciousness directly.

The man was shocked and stood up suddenly.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, came to the main seat, and sat down unceremoniously, "This must be Fellow Taoist King Xuanyue Sect. Why should you be so polite and stand up to greet me? Sit, sit, sit..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xiao Zongshan immediately became nervous and said, "Senior, please come to the banquet. Why are you dancers standing there in a daze? Why don't you dance..."

More than a dozen low-level dancers in the Qi refining stage quickly appeared to dance.

Wang Buming realized that he was losing his composure and sat down slowly, but still glanced at Li Xiao with some uncertainty.

In fact, after he released his spiritual consciousness to scan the opponent just now, he felt that his aura was like an abyss, like a black hole, swallowing up his own spiritual consciousness.

You must know that he is at the sixth level of the middle stage of Jindan.
And that person actually made him unable to see through his cultivation level, and even directly cut off and swallowed his consciousness.

This is a little scary.

It means that the person in front of him is at least a late-stage Jindan monk, and he has also practiced terrifying secret arts.

In fact, his guess was not wrong.

Li Xiao's soul strength at this time is indeed comparable to that of a late-stage Jindan monk.

After all, he is a heavenly elixir, and he has taken many high-quality props to increase his mental strength. The method of dual cultivation can also enhance his soul.

The physical strength is not as strong as the late stage of Golden Elixir, but it is probably comparable to the middle stage of Golden Elixir.

But if you want to know his true cultivation level, it is actually only in the early stage of the golden elixir.

Let’s talk about magical powers and secret methods.
The Six Paths of God and Demon Techniques he realized can be regarded as the top level of demonic techniques.

And after its refining swallowed up the origin of distortion and pain, it made the technique even more weird.

At this time, Wang Buming was shocked by a little display.

But this is also the reason why he is so good at condensing energy.

Of course, if he makes a move, the other party can also see his true cultivation level.

But if this happens, I'm afraid it will be even more shocking.

Because he can have such a powerful spiritual body in the early stage of Jindan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a peerless genius.

Because Wang Buming couldn't see through Li Xiao's cultivation, his originally arrogant and domineering expression became more restrained.

"Is this the new Daoist Fellow of the Six Paths of the Qianshan Sect? It's better to be famous than to meet..."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's easy to talk. I've heard of Fellow Daoist Wang's name for a long time, but I've long wanted to make friends with him. Today I can just have a few drinks..."

The two of them changed their faces and began to flatter each other's business and mingled with each other.

Xiao Zongshan and others were relieved when they saw this.

Originally, they were worried when they saw that the atmosphere was not right.

And now it seems that the strength of this great priest has been recognized by the Xuanyue Sect elders.

Xiao Zongshan and Yang Zhen looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

They all thought to themselves that it seemed that the great minister was the right person to invite.

Originally, they didn't know how much cultivation this great priest had, they only knew that he was a major cultivator of the golden elixir.

After a few insinuations, they didn't dare to ask any more questions if they didn't say anything.

But today I saw that Elder Wang suddenly became polite to the big worshipper after testing him.
The two of them knew that the cultivation level of this great priest should be at least in the middle stage of Jindan.

Because the cultivation level of Elder Wang Buming was already in the middle stage of Golden Core many years ago.

To be recognized by it, one must have the same level of cultivation.

In the final analysis, strength is the most important thing in the world of immortality.

Without strength, no matter how great the background is, it is still empty.

Even if your father is the Immortal Emperor and you are a piece of shit, if you offend others and they slap you to death, there is still nothing you can do.

After Li Xiao showed his strength, the atmosphere of the banquet became much better.

Wang Buming is no longer aggressive,

However, he will not give up the purpose of coming here this time.

It's just that he's not so cold-faced anymore.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Wang Buming explained the purpose of his visit in a balanced way.

The general idea is that you, the ancestor of Qianshan Sect, bought a third-level top-grade formation-breaking jade talisman from me, but you only paid half of the price.

Xiao Zongshan and others were very surprised after hearing this.

They knew that the ancestor of the Qianshan Sect had obtained a third-level top-quality jade talisman for breaking the formation.
But little did he know that the money was only half paid.

In fact, the money for the jade talisman was given, but the conditions promised by Qianshan Patriarch were not fulfilled.

But this matter disappeared with the death of Qianshan Patriarch, and there was simply no evidence of death.

Only whoever is stronger has the final say.

Xiao Zongshan said cautiously, "Senior, how much more do you think we need to pay you?"

Even if he died without any evidence, he did not dare to offend the elders of Xuanyue Sect at this time. He could only think of losing money and avoiding disaster.

Wang Buming said, "It's not much, just pay another 30 spirit stones..."

Several people were taken aback.

30 spirit stones is not a small amount of money.

The main reason is that Qianshan Sect has almost been completely wiped out at this time.

They had just paid 20 spiritual stones to the great offering, and had transferred a large amount of materials to other places to stabilize the situation. It was true that they could not produce that much anymore.

Naturally, Wang Buming also opened his mouth as a lion, thinking of making a serious blow.

Xiao Zongshan said bitterly, "Senior, you should also know the situation of Qianshan Sect. We really can't afford such a large sum of money at this time, so please forgive me for a while..."

Li Xiao also said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, our Qianshan Sect has indeed been in some difficulties recently. 30 is indeed too much. A third-level top-quality formation-breaking jade talisman, even if it is new and has great power, is not worth 60." Spiritual stone, right?"

Wang Buming said, "The formation-breaking jade talisman is priceless, so why isn't it worth 60?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, when I purchased the jade talisman for breaking the formation from you, I only paid half of the payment. Do you have a written receipt to prove it? It's impossible to just rely on your words, right?"

Wang Buming said displeased, "You mean I'm talking nonsense?"

Li Xiao said calmly, "I didn't say that. Otherwise, we would calculate the price of the jade talisman according to the price of a third-level top-quality item, which is usually around 30. If it's half the price, I'll pay you another 15. How about that?"

Wang Buming wanted to say something else, but he saw the deep gaze of the great worshiper, which actually frightened him.

He thought for a while and said, "Okay, as Fellow Daoist Liu Dao said, it can be considered as a little friendship with Fellow Daoist Xiang back then..."

Xiao Zongshan and others breathed a sigh of relief, quickly thanked him, went to get 15 spiritual stones, and paid them to Wang Buming.

After Wang Buming got the benefit, he stood up and left.

After Xiao Zongshan and others sent him away, they expressed their gratitude to Li Xiao.

After all, Li Xiao, a great priest, has an employment relationship with the Qianshan Sect.
Moreover, the oath he swore by his inner demons stated that he would only help Qianshan Sect resist the attack of Yuanzhen Sect and would not care about other troubles.

It is indeed quite interesting to be able to risk offending the Xuanyue Sect elders and stand up to help them bargain.

Little did they know that Li Xiao was afraid that the Qianshan Sect would be drained and would not be able to pay his tribute next year.

And that guy from Xuanyue Sect, even if he doesn’t offend him,
After this guy swallowed his consciousness, he would definitely pay more attention to himself.

After Li Xiao took care of this, he said, "Okay, I will be in seclusion for a while. Unless I come out of seclusion on my own, don't bother me again no matter what. Do you understand?"

Xiao Zongshan and others responded quickly.

After Li Xiao leaves,
Several people were thankful that this large offering seemed to be indeed worthwhile.
