Li Zhengnan walked out of the solitary room with a confused look on his face and disheveled hair, like a beggar who lived on the street begging for food after his business went bankrupt.
A few years ago, he was not like this.
A few years ago, he and Zong Lianheng promised various benefits, which caused several Zifu monks in the sect to give up fighting for the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" and instead supported his use of this item. In the end, Cao Wenjin succeeded in getting this item worth millions.
The important treasure of spiritual stones was handed into his hands.
I recall that on the day when he entered the retreat room with the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" in his confident look, all the high-ranking monks in the sect came to give blessings. How high-spirited he was!
What a pity! What a pity!
It's a pity that he failed to live up to the expectations of everyone in the sect and failed to form the pill!
No matter how good the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" is, it can only increase the success rate of pill formation by 10 to 20%. Adding in the various preparations Li Zhengnan has made for pill formation, his success rate of pill formation is only about 25%.
.
A quarter of the success rate of forming a pill is not low!
When many Zifu monks try to form pills, their success rate cannot even be guaranteed.
If it weren't so difficult to form elixirs, why would the biggest dream of most monks after starting cultivation be to become a golden elixir monk with a lifespan of thousands of years?
But the failure rate of three-quarters is obviously higher!
After all, Li Zhengnan didn't have that destiny, and he failed to successfully change his destiny against the will of heaven, extend his life span for another five hundred years, and become the ancestor of Jindan respected by thousands of people!
Originally, there was nothing wrong with the failure to form the elixir. Many monks in the golden elixir stage succeeded in forming the elixir after failing once or twice. Anyway, failure to form the elixir would only damage the dantian and deplete some vitality, and it would take a few decades to recuperate.
Tried forming pills again.
With Li Zhengnan's longevity, he still has at least two chances to attack the golden elixir.
However, he failed to form the elixir this time, but he used the only "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" in the sect, and used the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" that the sect spent millions of spirit stones to purchase!
This is going to happen!
All sects in the world have a common rule when distributing important treasures such as "Jade Liquid Golden Pill". If the monk who uses this treasure successfully breaks through, then he only needs to repay three to three times the total value of the treasure.
Just give 50% of the spiritual stones to the sect.
But if you fail to break through the realm after using the treasure, then I'm sorry. The user must use all means to repay the debt for the rest of his life, and the compensation will be based on the price.
If he has not repaid it completely during his lifetime, this debt will even be extended to his descendants!
Because of this rule, when those sect monks compete for the right to use such treasures, they will also fully consider the issue of debt after failure.
At that time, Li Zhengnan was able to get several other Zifu monks in Huangshamen to support him in winning the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill". In addition to actually providing a lot of benefits to those people, this rule also made those people give up the fight.
The important reasons for "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir".
As for Li Zhengnan himself, he had never married and had children in his life. Before forming the pill, his thought was that even if he failed, he would just sell his remaining life of less than a hundred years to the sect, so as not to harm future generations.
But as wonderful as he thought at the time, how miserable his fate will be after failure now!
That’s more than one million spirit stones!
What will he give in return?
You must know that in order to get the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir", he even took out two of the fourth-level high-grade magic weapons on his body and "gifted" them to the junior brothers. Now the spiritual stones in his pocket and the sect merit points on his body
, which adds up to less than 10,000!
Not to mention how he promised to repay his junior disciples after he successfully formed the elixir.
In this case, do you think Li Zhengnan can look good?
In fact, he failed to form the elixir two or three years ago, and he delayed it for two or three more years. In addition to trying to heal the damage to his vitality caused by the failure to form the elixir, the bigger reason was because he was afraid of taking responsibility after the failure.
Just procrastinating is obviously not the solution. A few years have passed, and some knowledgeable people in the sect have almost guessed the result. Cao Wenjin even sent him a stern message a few days ago, asking him to come out.
Give me an explanation!
Now that there was no further delay, Li Zhengnan could only walk out of the retreat room with a sad face and accept the sect's punishment.
Fortunately, in the same sect, the other Zifu monks from Huangshamen still saved some face for Li Zhengnan. After seeing his confused look, no one said anything sarcastic and unpleasant, but just felt sad for a while.
After sighing, each said a few comforting words and left.
After all the other Zifu monks left, leaving only Cao Wenjin and Li Zhengnan, Cao Wenjin, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"I don't want to say any more. When you came to get the [Jade Liquid Golden Pill], I told you that now I will give you five more years to recover. After five years, for the sake of the sect,
If it can be passed down stably in the future, I will do something big, and you must participate in it when the time comes!"
Cao Wenjin can even say the word "big event", and it also involves the sect's inheritance, which shows that this matter is definitely a real big event, and it will be very dangerous.
Li Zhengnan, as the second most powerful figure in the Huangshamen, certainly knows this.
And he also knows a truth: the calmer Cao Wenjin's tone is, the bigger the matter is.
At the same time, as someone specifically named by Cao Wenjin to participate in this major event, and as someone who has just wasted millions of spiritual stones from his sect, the responsibility and pressure he has to bear in this matter will definitely not be too small.
Maybe, it will cost you your life!
Li Zhengnan swayed slightly, then smiled miserably, bent down deeply and saluted Cao Wenjin: "My nephew understands, everything depends on my uncle's orders!"
He has no choice!
Wasting the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" purchased by the sect for millions of spiritual stones, this was his biggest "original sin"!
If you succeed, you will be honored as your ancestor and live a thousand years!
If you fail, your reputation will be ruined and your sin will be unforgivable!
The road to immortality has always been so cruel!
As Li Zhengnan came out of seclusion, the news about his failure to form elixirs was quickly spread by monks from various families in Huangshamen to their respective families, and then spread throughout the entire Boundless Sands.
Haixiu Immortal World.
For a time, all the immortal cultivating families in the entire Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation World were arguing over this news.
But there is a consensus that everyone agrees with.
That is Huangshamen, and the guardian of Huangshamen, Cao Wenjin, Patriarch Cao, will never sit back and watch Huangshamen decline.
In short, the sky in this boundless sea of sand and the world of immortality is about to change again!
After receiving the news, Zhou Yang from Red Fox Ridge also went to Yuquan Lake Oasis to discuss the matter with the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
In the end, the two people made an unexpectedly unanimous decision, which was to wait and see what happens.
Cao Wenjin is not dead yet!
As long as this golden elixir monk is still alive, anyone or any family who dares to take any action at this time, whether it is good or bad, will definitely touch the ancestor's already sensitive nerves, leading to unpredictable consequences.
Even if the Zhou family wants to take sides, this is definitely not the time to do so.
At this time, the ones who should really be worried are the Zifu family, because the Jiji family can still choose to take sides, and the Zifu family just wants to take sides, but they also want others to believe in them!
Yes, that's it.
At least the ancestor of the Chen family became worse after learning the news of Li Zhengnan's failure.
Originally, several monks from the Purple Mansion in Huangshamen were on good terms with him. When Li Zhengnan obtained the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir", the first person to notify him was a monk from the Purple Mansion in Huangshamen.
But now, after Li Zhengnan failed to form the elixir, no monk from Huangshamen and Zifu notified him, let alone revealed any inside information to him.
This alone is enough to make him have many associations.
For this reason, he had to announce his release from seclusion, and then personally went to Huangshamen to visit Cao Wenjin. On the surface, he asked Cao Wenjin for advice on the method of forming pills, saying that he would try his best before his life span was exhausted.
Loyalty implies that one's life is short, indicating that the Chen family does not have the strength to threaten Huang Shamen.
However, Cao Wenjin's response made the Chen family ancestor feel very unsure.
Faced with his request for advice, Cao Wenjin generously gave him a piece of his experience in forming pills, but at the same time he also asked him not to be busy in retreat to form pills in the past ten years, saying that he would need his help if something happened in the future.
When Cao Wenjin asked him to help with something, the ancestor of the Chen family naturally did not dare to say no, so in the end he had to bite the bullet and respond first. Then he returned to the family uneasily and studied the experience of forming pills given by Cao Wenjin.
Zhou Yang naturally knew the news that the ancestor of the Chen family had successfully promoted to the ninth floor of the Purple Mansion and left seclusion soon, but he had no other reaction other than sighing when he first learned the news.
Regardless of whether the ancestor of the Chen family is at the eighth level of the Zi Mansion or the ninth level of the Zi Mansion, there is actually no difference between him and the Zhou family.
At this stage, the other party is an existence that they cannot compete with.
What's more, there is another thing happening that worries Zhou Yang even more, that is, Zhou Guangxiang, who has been in seclusion and foundation building in Chihu Ridge, has been in retreat for more than three months and has not yet left the cave.
For more than three months, there was no "spiritual energy filling the body" phenomenon on the Red Fox Ridge, indicating that Zhou Guangxiang's foundation building must have failed.
However, with the protection of "Foundation Building Pill", even if it fails, Zhou Guangxiang's life should not be in danger.
But what makes Zhou Yang feel heavy is that for more than three months, Zhou Guangxiang still refuses to come out of the cave. Zhou Guangxiang, who is protecting her, also refuses to open the formation to let him in to check the situation.
"Guangxiang, do you know what you are doing? By doing this, you are not only disobeying the orders of the elders, but you are also gambling with your sister's life!"
Outside Zhou Guangxiang's cave, Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Guangxiang who was guarding the gate of the cave with a very ugly expression.
With his intelligence, of course he could guess the reason why Zhou Guangxiang did this, but because of this, he wanted to stop him even more!
