Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Chapter 223 The first negotiation

"Fellow Taoists, you have come all the way to the Tulang Tribe. What's the important matter?"

In the vast desert, Jiang Qiong controlled two oppressive spirit puppets and stood in front of the Tuocha tribe's envoys. His tone was full of confidence.

Compared with before, the two spirit puppets blocking the road at this moment, after Jiang Qiong's careful concealment, looked like normal monks on the surface. Their faces looked ordinary, but with the attachment of spiritual consciousness, their aura seemed magnificent.

It has to be said that Jiang Qiong's methods are quite good. With his superb proficiency, he transformed the spirit puppet through spiritual talismans and materials, which looked very good in supporting the appearance.

At the very least, the Qi-training monks from the Tuocha tribe's envoy who arrived did not see that the spirit puppet was blocking the way.

"Two Foundation-Building Immortals."

There were three envoys coming to the Tulang tribe, two of whom were Qi-training monks, silently following a middle-aged man with a resolute face.

The two Qi-training monks were shocked when they saw two powerful Foundation Establishment Masters suddenly appearing not far away.

The face of Master Ji Zhu who led the team also changed slightly, but after all, he was at a higher level. In a blink of an eye, he detected the two Masters blocking the road. The situation was slightly unusual.

Due to etiquette, Master Ji Zhu of Tuocha Tribe did not use his spiritual consciousness to investigate, but said calmly:
"We, the monks from the sect leader of the Naitulang Tribe, have come to the leader of the tribe to discuss some important matters. My fellow Taoist has nothing to block the way. What do you want?"

As he spoke, Master Tuoling's eyes looked a little solemn. Before he came, although he had received news that there was Master Ji Zhu in the Tulang tribe, he subconsciously felt that there was only one.

He was surprised to see two people standing in the way. He couldn't help but realize that the backers of Tulang tribe's defection were deliberately showing a tough attitude.

Realizing this, Tuoling's face couldn't help but look a little ugly, and the spiritual energy in his body couldn't help but start to circulate.

"The clan leader of Tulang Tribe?"

Jiang Qiong controlled a spirit puppet to stand aside, and only spoke through the remaining spirit puppet: "I have been in Tulang tribe for a long time, how come I don't know about this? Fellow Taoist, please don't lie to me."

As he spoke, Jiang Qiong remained vigilant, and the spiritual consciousness attached to the spirit puppet circulated secretly, although he felt that the Tuocha tribe was unlikely to take action.

But for the sake of caution, you still have to be cautious. After all, only by being prepared can you avoid danger.

"Who among the tribes in the entire Taling Desert knows about the Tulang Tribe's return to the Shuntuocha Tribe?"

Master Tuoling said with an ugly face: "My fellow Taoist is rude and ignores the facts. Could it be that you don't take the Tuocha tribe seriously and intend to bully small tribes like the Tulang tribe and force them to submit to you?"

Jiang Qiong almost laughed when she heard this.

He conveyed the message in a calm tone: "Fellow Taoist is in charge of the Tuocha tribe. He has many things to deal with every day. Time is precious. Let's not talk about gossip. Let's go straight to the topic."

"The Tulang Tribe was forced by the Tuocha Tribe's unreasonable oppression and became furious. They intentionally broke away from your control and wanted to submit to the forces below."

"I think you all know about this."

Jiang Qiong's spiritual consciousness diffused a little, and he continued to transmit the message: "The reason why you are coming here now is just to forcibly control the Tulang tribe, but this matter is too barbaric, and no one will sit idly by and ignore it."

"As the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet. The Tulang tribe has already separated from the Tuocha tribe. There is no need to control them by force. It is better to cover it up. The Tuocha tribe can show its courage as the clan leader and let the tribe leave on its own."

"So, everyone is happy."

As soon as he said this, Master Tuoling raised his eyebrows and said with anger in his voice:

"Fellow Taoist, this move is really too much. If you follow your words, the Tuocha tribe will lose all face. This is unacceptable and undermines the majesty of a medium-sized tribe!"

"If things really come to this, we will stop it at all costs!"

Master Tuoling's words were sonorous and powerful, and his tone was full of threats.

"It's better than this. On the surface, the Tulang tribe will not break away from the Tuocha tribe, but all unreasonable cooperation must be suspended. This move can not only restore the respect of the Tuocha tribe, but also appease the Tulang tribe."

Jiang Qiong stood with his hands behind his hands, controlling one of the spirit puppets and said: "I wonder what this will do?"

Master Tuoling did not hesitate at all, and directly transmitted the message: "We cannot accept the loss of a small tribe with a relatively deep foundation."

"If you Taoist friends really want to make the Tulang tribe your vassal, you will have to pay a corresponding price."

Speaking of this, Master Tuoling continued to transmit the message: "The minimum value of a small tribe is three thousand ordinary spiritual stones."

"If you Taoist friend wants to be the leader of the Tulang Tribe, you must have the equivalent of spiritual objects."

This statement was obviously intended to get some resources from Jiang Qiong. After all, the Tuocha tribe's original intention was to exploit the Tulang tribe.

Now a mysterious force suddenly appears to block it, which is equivalent to reducing their income by thousands of spiritual stones.

Jiang Qiong said calmly: "The Tulang tribe is not an object. The monks in their tribe have the right to choose."

"I am here to have a friendly discussion with the Taoist friends, just to give face to the Tuosha tribe. Don't be ignorant of good and evil."

"It is their own choice for the Tulang Tribe to submit to me. If the Tuosha Tribe is dissatisfied, they can find their own reasons. If they are furious, they can vent their anger on their own. However, you need to bear the cost yourself."

Jiang Qiong did not give Tuocha tribe too much face, and said in a tough voice:

"In the final analysis, you have to fight for your own face. If the Tuocha tribe really cares about face, they can take a step back and give up on the Tulang tribe, so as not to attract desperate resistance from the tribe."

"If you feel that you are at a loss, the Tuocha tribe can take away some of the resources of the Tulang tribe."

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Tulang Tribe not only needs to explore the Juyou Canyon, but also has to send people to guard the valley roads. At the same time, it also needs to maintain the operation of the trade routes, and is very short of manpower.

Therefore, Chief Tuqia was originally planning to sell some unimportant resource lands.

As for the current stalemate with the Tuocha tribe, they could just come up with one or two resource areas of little value to block their gluttonous mouth, thus formally severing the relationship.

"This is my attitude. If the Tuosha tribe agrees, everyone will be happy. If they don't agree, the matter will be abandoned."

Jiang Qiong's tone was deliberately impatient, and she directly communicated her bottom line.

"Isn't it too overbearing, fellow Taoist, to want to go to the Tulang tribe with just one or two resources?"

Master Tuoling has always regarded the Tulang tribe as his own personal property. He was naturally very unhappy when he was robbed and wanted Jiang Qiong to use a large amount of resources to compensate.

But Jiang Qiong ignored it at all. He was not ready to catch all the swamps for the time being, and he had no idea of ​​​​extremely squeezing the Tulang tribe. Naturally, it was impossible to devote a large amount of resources to feed the blood-sucking worms.

"If the Tuosha tribe doesn't want to, then forget it."

Jiang Qiong knew that it was impossible to reach a consensus in the first negotiation, so he immediately used his spiritual consciousness to control the two spiritual puppets to leave and return to the Tulang tribe, showing that his attitude was still tough.

Looking at the backs of the two spirit puppets leaving, Tuoling's real face looked very ugly. The two Qi-training monks standing next to him have been standing silently. They have no idea about the sound transmission of the two foundation-building masters just now.

He only noticed that after a short period of "silence", his face became increasingly ugly, his eyes full of anger.

Seeing this scene, the two Qi-training monks continued to remain silent and did not dare to ask about the specific results of the negotiation.

"go!"

After staring at the departing figures of the two spirit puppets for a while, Master Tuoling snorted coldly and was about to leave with his monks.

As a result, in the air, he saw from a distance more than ten monks from the Shaming Tribe emerging from the Zitulang Tribe.

"More than ten monks from the Sha Ming Tribe, it seems they are all spiritual planters. What are they doing in the Tulang Tribe?"

Master Tuo Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he immediately took out the transmission talisman and sent it to the monks from his own tribe, asking them to find out about the recent relationship between the Sha Ming Tribe and the Tulang Tribe.

Here, Jiang Qiong controlled the two spirit puppets and returned to the Tulang tribe. He also saw more than ten spiritual planters from the Shaming tribe, accompanied by the leader Tuqia, going to the elixir garden in a remote area.

After a brief glance, Jiang Qiong withdrew her gaze, her expression not changing much.

Two days ago, the Shaming tribe abided by the spiritual contract signed with Jiang Qiong and sent spiritual planters to cultivate the spiritual medicine.

With Jiang Qiong's order, the Tulang tribe vacated their spiritual fields early, and even specially cultivated some spiritual fields to provide to the Shaming tribe.

Originally, according to the agreement in the spiritual contract, Jiang Qiong and the Sha Ming Tribe wanted to find Yao Yungu as a witness and let them be responsible for guaranteeing the contract.

But the Shaming tribe suddenly changed its tune last night, saying that they believed in Jiang Qiong's credibility and no longer needed to waste spiritual stones to find Yaoyun Valley as a witness.

This move surprised Jiang Qiong slightly.

You must know that during the transaction with the Sha Ming tribe, Jiang Qiong did not reveal her own situation, which was equivalent to a hidden force.

The Sha Ming Tribe had to take some risks when conducting transactions under such circumstances. Once Jiang Qiong secretly played tricks, it would be easy to deceive them in cooperation.

After the trap was over, Jiang Qiong could just slap his butt and leave. If the Sha Ming tribe wanted to take revenge, it would have to pay a huge price. Just looking for someone would take a lot of energy.

But if it were the Sha Ming tribe's tricks, it would be too easy for Jiang Qiong to take revenge.

After all, the Sha Ming Tribe is just sitting there, and most of the resources it controls can be easily found.

It is precisely because of the consideration of information asymmetry that Jiang Qiong deliberately said before cooperation that he would find big forces to witness the spiritual agreement of cooperation.

The Sha Ming Tribe did not refuse at that time, but now they suddenly rejected this request. Apparently, after careful consideration in the past few days, they felt that Jiang Qiong was generous and sincere, and intended to repay some goodwill so that future cooperation would become smoother.

For Jiang Qiong, this is a good thing.

At the very least, it can be seen that the Sha Ming tribe really wants to cooperate steadily to earn spiritual stones.

"I obtained the crystal grain mine from the Sha Ming tribe, and the next step is to find cooperation with the Qin family."

Jiang Qiong's mind was spinning, thinking that she would go to the Qin family after dealing with the Tulang tribe.

Controlling the two spirit puppets to return to the house provided by the Tulang tribe, Jiang Qiong immediately converged his spiritual consciousness.

Afterwards, his body once again took out a large number of items obtained from the secret realm and slowly tasted them.

That's right, even after so much time, Jiang Qiong still hasn't finished sorting out the items in her hands.

After all, there were too many dark spirits killed at that time, and countless items were dropped. Three or four high-grade storage bags were filled.

"Huh? This token has endured a long period of wear and tear, and it has not changed at all."

"There is still a trace of spiritual energy left in it. It seems to be a high-grade item."

Jiang Qiong found a token that looked like a sheep's hoof from the pile of items. It was dark green in color and looked uncomfortable. The front was carefully carved with strange lines, and the back was a shepherd's pattern.

Running his spiritual sense across the token, Jiang Qiong could vaguely detect a perfect small formation inside.

Even though the array patterns are all dim, the level of mysteries and mysteries they present is still surprising.

"Second-level top-notch formation patterns"

Jiang Qiong was taken aback, and then he circulated his spiritual energy and poured it into the token.

With the infusion of massive spiritual energy.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the token gradually overflowed with light, and the small formation inside was activated.

The next moment, the scene in front of Jiang Qiong changed, and the surrounding light gradually became dim.

Dark iron chains gradually condensed from the air, and ferocious beasts immediately condensed on the ground. The steps appeared one by one, and high platforms appeared on both sides. Lanterns were placed on the upper door, glowing with dim firelight.

Directly ahead, a large amount of light gathered in an instant, condensing into a towering stone door with a strange pattern.

Less than half an hour.

Jiang Qiong seemed to be in a strange prison. He swept through it with his spiritual sense and could easily break through the illusion.

However, since there was no warning from his spiritual consciousness, out of curiosity, he carefully looked at the scene in front of him.

"This looks a bit like the sacrificial area built by the 'Life and Burial Pavilion'"

Jiang Qiong glanced around and couldn't help but mutter.

In the Taling Desert, the Life and Burial Pavilion is a very secretive force. Its real name is the Changsheng Pavilion, but no matter what the name is, most monks do not know it.

Jiang Qiong saw records in the relevant ancient books and jade slips. Although this force was secretive, it had a very deep foundation. It was rumored that it was related to the ancient force of the dynasty next door.

Because this force behaves very strangely, the monks inside are like two extremes in personality and have very different work styles. Sometimes they do good deeds to help people in distress, and sometimes they violently sacrifice the entire oasis with blood, hence the name "Life and Burial Pavilion".

This name means that when a monk encounters this force, he or she will live or die in a single thought. Either you can get good luck and have a smooth road for the rest of your life; or you can encounter misfortune when you go out, and you will end up miserable;
Because of this, most monks are accustomed to calling this force the Life and Burial Pavilion instead of the Immortality Pavilion.

Within this force, whether they are monks who like to do good or monks who like to do evil, there is a rule that they adhere to, which is to eliminate any written description of their own power.
