Chapter 255: Asking for a high price, paying back the money on the ground
"The Duanmu family only knows about merchants, and they only have some spiritual stones. How can they help fellow Taoists develop the resources of Luanhua Mountain?"
The girl in the lotus skirt snorted, obviously disdainful of her.
In order to prove what she said, she and the male cultivator in Taoist robes each took out an object and placed it in front of Xie Duanyang.
The man in peach blossom robe is holding a book made of leaves. I don’t know whether it’s due to the special sacrificial technique or the material itself.
Even if it has been off the branch for an unknown period of time, it is still green, fresh and tender.
Xie Duanyang tried to open it, and countless words and pictures suddenly appeared in his mind, but they were the art of spiritual planting that he had never been exposed to before.
From site selection, soil loosening, breeding, rain distribution, fertilizing, harvesting, to storage, there are countless precautions for each step.
The complexity and subtleties involved are no easier than those of alchemy formation and other arts, and it will take countless hours to figure it out.
However, there are restrictions on the leaf book, so Xie Duanyang can only read a few paragraphs of each article.
Although this restriction is not mysterious in his opinion and is not difficult to break, it is obviously not appropriate to do so before agreeing to Baihua Mountain.
Moreover, the content contained in it is far from complete. It mainly focuses on flowers and fruits, especially the cultivation of several kinds of peach spiritual fruits, which is obviously unique to the Taoyao lineage.
"It turns out that the method of planting is also so broad and profound, but Qu thought it was too simple."
Xie Duanyang closed the book and sighed sincerely.
The Taixu Mirror is good at deducing and perfecting, whether it is cultivation techniques such as alchemy, arrays, or spells, or techniques, they are all extremely effective.
However, the effect of the spiritual planting technique is much worse. The gift from Baihua Mountain is still very attractive to Xie Duanyang.
However, he did not stay there for too long, and soon moved his gaze to the palm of the girl in the lotus skirt.
It's a pale golden seed, and it doesn't look very eye-catching.
The spiritual energy is thin, even a little dry, and insulated from the fullness and moisture.
But Xie Duanyang could vaguely feel that this thing was much more precious than the spiritual plant technique.
It is one of those rare things that you may not be able to get even if you take the spirit stone.
"This lotus seed is the ancestral purple lotus in our Hanli lineage. It can only produce one seed every ten years..."
The girl in the lotus skirt explained the effects of lotus seeds in detail.
It has a similar effect to the koi carp presented by the woman from among the five cultivators outside Luanhua Mountain. It is planted in the water and takes root.
It naturally has the magical effect of sorting out and benefiting the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. Of course, the two effects are very different, and there is almost a world of difference.
In Baihua Mountain, every monk who forges the Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill will receive a lotus seed and move it into his cave, which is regarded as a benefit from the sect.
And the Hanlian lineage will not suffer. After all, this thing only comes once every ten years, and there are not so many alchemy monks on their mountain.
Use it in exchange for the sect's contribution, or exchange it for spiritual objects from other mountains. It's a win-win business without loss.
But this is only an internal price. If you are not a monk from the sect, even if you are Master Jie Dan, you will have to pay a huge price.
The other party showed his sincerity.
However, the Duanmu family owns the largest number of spiritual fields in Huayu Country and produces countless spiritual grains and rice. They are by no means only good at business affairs as they said, which is not conducive to the development of Luanhua Mountain.
"Qu has seen your sincerity with your own eyes.
If you agree to one more thing, our two families will be rock-solid allies."
Still looking away from the lotus seeds without any hesitation, Xie Duanyang looked directly at the girl in the lotus skirt and raised a finger.
"Say."
The girl took a deep breath and spit out one word.
She had a hunch that this matter would definitely not be simple.
"Qu spent his time with his two sticks. He didn't have much life left, but he still wanted to try it one last time."
Xie Duanyang calmly expressed his request.
"If there are monks from your sect who attack the pill formation within twenty years, please let Qu Mou come and watch in person..."
Although there are "Dayan Jue" and "Three Turns of Chongyuan Gong", as well as the Taixu Mirror to assist, Xie Duanyang's chance of succeeding in forming pills is far lower than that of other monks.
But after all, it is not the qualification of Tianlinggen. I dare not say that I will be able to succeed in one go.
If it fails, you will have to spend another twenty or thirty years honing your magic and searching for opportunities.
Of course, Xie Duanyang thought of what he had done when building the foundation.
As long as you can observe the monks forming elixirs, the etheric virtual mirror will record the changes in their energy.
Even if you fail, it is an unspeakable experience that can be used as a reference for yourself.
Thinking of this, he not only felt sad secretly.
If he hadn't wandered around for several years in order to change the outcome of the demonic invasion, and missed Master Yan's elixir formation, it wouldn't have been like this.
Even if the cultivator from Baihua Mountain succeeds in forming elixirs, he will still not be as good as Yan Kuangge, who practices the same unique technique as him.
"This won't work!"
Before the girl in the lotus skirt could speak, the face of the male cultivator in Taoist robes next to her had completely darkened, and he kept drinking.
There is currently no Nascent Soul in Baihua Mountain, and the Pill Formation monks are the backbone.
Everyone is related to the rise and fall of the sect, even if it is not the real person Jiedan, it is the same if they are just the seeds to attack this realm.
When forming the elixir, not to mention sealing off the entire sect and opening the mountain-protecting formation.
At the very least, the lineage you belong to will be treated as a top priority.
How could we easily allow Xie Duanyang, who is not a disciple of our sect, to watch?
Although if the two families reach an alliance, he is not considered an outsider.
She raised her slender hand to stop her fellow junior's next words. The girl in the green skirt stared at Xie Duanyang closely for half a quarter of an hour.
Just now he lowered his gaze, put down his raised right palm, held tea in both hands and slowly rotated it, with a clear voice.
"This matter is of great concern. Xike cannot make the decision. He still needs to report it to the sect.
I wonder if Master Qushan can allow me and my junior brothers and sisters to stay here temporarily for a few days?"
Xie Duanyang was not surprised and understood that the three of them wanted to stay here longer and make a more accurate evaluation of their potential as well as those of the Luanhua Mountain lineage.
Whether Baihuashan agrees or not is obviously closely related to the content of their report.
"That would be the best."
With a loud laugh, Xie Duanyang extended his arms to greet the three of them, "Qu has heard that Baihua Mountain's Taoist teachings are wonderful, and several Taoist friends are outstanding. Naturally, I want to ask for more advice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Don't say a few days, it doesn't matter if you stay for an extra month or two.
Yin'er, fellow Taoist Wan, you two will come with me to accompany the three of you to see the scenery of Luanhua Mountain."
————
The moon and stars are sparse, and the breeze blows on my face.
Xike, Longtan, and Lucai faced each other in twos and didn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until Long Tan, who was wearing a peach-patterned Taoist robe, spoke that he broke the silence.
"Two fellow disciples, what do you think of that fellow Taoist Qu?"
"The formation is very good, I can't say it myself."
Xike narrowed his starry eyes and said slowly.
"The formation is very easy to understand. I'm afraid it's not inferior even to the mountain-protecting formations of you and me.
It is really surprising that such formations were not made by Danjie monks."
Male cultivator Long Tan frowned and said with some doubts.
"It's hard to say, so what's the explanation? His consciousness doesn't seem to be much weaker than yours, senior sister, right?"
Although they both had foundation-building cultivation, Lu'e, who was in the early stage, really didn't have the confidence to be on an equal footing with the other two, so she just nodded in agreement with Longtan's statement.
Xike didn't explain much, he just picked a flower from the peach branch that he broke off, slowly crushed it and thought about it.
"Da Luo Qian Huan Jue" and the demon clan's breath-condensing technique are both extremely magical. With the blessing of Xie Duanyang's spiritual consciousness, even the pill-forming monks may not be able to see through his true cultivation level.
Of course she is no exception.
But Baihuashan Taoism is also somewhat mysterious, can she faintly detect it?
There seems to be a slight difference between Xie Duanyang's qi, blood, mana, and soul, compared to himself who is also in the fake elixir realm.
It seems that one or two items are on the strong side, while the other two items seem to be on the weak side.
"Could it be that the attack failed to form the core, leaving behind some hidden wounds?"
Without considering the direction of Xie Duanyang's concealment of his true cultivation level, Xike just made what he thought was the most reasonable guess based on the information he collected about the other party.
"Junior brother, what do you think? Do you want to agree to his request?"
Throwing the peach branch on the bluestone table, Xike looked up at Longtan, "Among the three of us, your Taoyao lineage is the most interested in this place, right?"
There are countless wild peach trees growing in Luanhua Mountain, many of which are hundreds of years old.
The Taoyao lineage has long been interested in this place. If it can be completely controlled and managed for a hundred years, it may not be inferior to the main mountain in Baihua Mountain.
It's just that this plan requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it requires a Danjie monk to be in charge for a long time.
As for Taoyao's lineage, they only have mid-stage Mingjie Dan monks, so they really can't find any extra manpower.
What's more, since the previous Nascent Soul monk in Baihua Mountain passed away, no new Nascent Soul has appeared for two hundred years.
Being overtaken by Yaowang Valley, which was originally neck and neck, it is difficult to just maintain the current situation, and it is really unable to expand externally.
Although it is true that Taoyao's lineage values the interests of Luanhua Mountain more, this time among the three of them, Xike was the one who made the decision.
Not only because she has the highest level of cultivation, but also because her mentor is the fake infant monk who is recognized in Baihua Mountain as the most promising to break through to the Nascent Soul.
Seeing Xike's appearance, Long Tan knew in his heart that this senior sister had actually made a decision in her heart and lowered her body slightly.
"My little brother naturally follows the lead of my senior sister!"
————
Looking at the three people standing in front of him, Xie Duanyang was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that the three of them would stay here for at least three or two more days, but he never expected that they would reach a unanimous conclusion in just half a day and a night.
"Watching the monks of our sect form elixirs, right? Xike can agree to this on behalf of the elders of the sect."
Without any more pleasantries or probing, Xike gave the answer directly.
"Oh?"
Xie Duanyang said softly, but there was not much excitement and ecstasy on his face, but he looked at the woman with a half-smile.
Several people were acting so difficult the day before, but their attitudes had changed so drastically in the past night. There must be something waiting for them.
This matter is not that easy.
"Fellow Taoist, this mountain-protecting formation is so exquisite and mysterious, I wonder if it has a name?"
Xike walked on the ground and made his demands clear.
"If Brother Qu is willing to grant this array diagram to me."
"Not to mention just watching our disciples form elixirs, at the same time, my uncle will also take action to cut several peach branches from the ancestral peach tree of Taoyao lineage.
As long as it is grafted onto the peach tree in Brother Qu's dojo and nourished by spiritual energy for several years, it can transform from the ordinary to the spiritual fruit..."
Before Xike finished speaking, Xin Ruyin, who was behind Xie Duanyang, had already laughed out loud regardless of the gap in cultivation.
She created this formation herself, so she knows its power very well.
Definitely above the "Inverted Five Elements Formation" and the "Mountains and Rivers Hundred Veins Map" of the Tongtian Star Sect.
What is particularly rare is that this formation was not handed down from ancient times, or came from the hands of any formation master in the current world, but was a new creation.
This place in Luanhua Mountain is the only part of the entire human world, and then there is the semicolon.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about any formation master knowing the mechanism layout and being able to easily crack it.
This alone is enough to increase its value by more than two levels.
Even though this formation cannot be said to be perfect and needs time to be tested and revised, it is by no means inferior to a living Dan-Jie monk.
Just because I had the opportunity to watch the monks forming elixirs, I wanted to exchange this item. It was too wonderful.
Of course, the most important thing is not to be said in public, otherwise it will look ugly.
If Baihuashan obtains the formation map, wouldn't it mean that the layout of this place is completely exposed to the opponent's eyes?
If Luanhua Mountain is managed well in the future and they have some thoughts, they may be easily captured and the dojo will change owners.
Although Xie Duanyang also had a sneer on his face, he was actually not worried at all.
It’s nothing more than the cold light barrier of hundreds of poisons and the miasma of peach blossoms all over the mountain. If Baihua Mountain is really moved, it won’t be difficult.
But the Zhaoming Mirror refined with the help of Taixu Jinghui is even more unique.
Even if Baihuashan obtains a magic weapon with similar functions, it will not be able to invade this formation.
With the help of the bright mirror in his hand, Xin Ruyin can easily detonate the mirrors buried in the formation holes with just a slight thought.
The mountain was filled with miasma, and the spiritual energy was completely chaotic. Not to mention burying two or three alchemy monks, even the Nascent Soul monks could not suppress this spiritual energy riot by themselves.
What's particularly important is that after this explosion, the entire base of Luanhua Mountain will be interrupted, and chaos will not be possible for two to three hundred years.
Unless Baihuashan completely loses its mind, it is absolutely impossible to make such a choice that would hurt both sides.
What's more, he himself could have asked Xin Ruyin to leave a backdoor in the formation diagram to prevent the other party from violating the contract.
Turning a blind eye to the indignation on the faces of Xin Ruyin and others, Xike secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Xie Duanyang did not refuse directly, it means that there is still talk, which is nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money.
But I saw her holding up three fingers and putting forward the preliminary conditions discussed with two junior brothers and sisters last night, who were also representatives of the two branches.
"Three times.
Regardless of whether the monk successfully formed the elixir or not, our sect can guarantee that fellow Taoists will visit it three times."
Seeing that Xie Duanyang's expression remained unchanged, Xike raised his two fingers and pointed only his index finger at Qi Yunxiao, Xin Ruyin and others behind him.
"And this condition not only applies to Brother Qu, other ministers can also inherit this right.
However, if you continue after three times, your fellow Taoist lineage will have to pay a certain price.
And there is a time limit, so how about once every fifty years?"
