Chapter 437: Exchange fire for fire, open the mountain gate
After all, this favor is not small.
"Brother Meng, you're welcome. The Xuangui inner elixir is also of great use to me. It's the right thing to do.
But Zhang does have something to ask Brother Meng..."
Xie Duanyang smiled and then changed his tone.
"I'm going to visit Yun Sheng Market next year. I wonder if you can tell me some inside stories about this place?"
Since he had already planned to explore the ruins of Hanhai Palace, he naturally wanted to collect relevant information in advance.
Although it seemed that Gong and Sunli were well prepared, Xie Duanyang would not pin all this on them.
It's just that the information compiled and leaked from the Hundred Islands Alliance can only give people a rough idea at most, and there is not much real information. It is best to consult the people involved.
The original fight between Bing Wanzhou and Meng Lao Mo was caused by the fact that his disciples were refined and killed by Meng Shentong using cold green phosphorus flames in Yunsheng Ruins.
And his magical powers are not inferior to those of later monks, so he naturally knows a lot of valuable information.
"Yunsheng Ruins?!"
Looking at Xie Duanyang in surprise, Meng Shentong was silent for a moment before speaking to persuade.
"I'm not going to throw cold water on you, that place is full of dangers, and there will even be many Yuanying old monsters who will enter by then.
Although under the influence of the remaining restrictions, the magical powers of the old monsters will be weakened, they are still very difficult and difficult to deal with, and they are in danger of falling.
Brother Zhang, since you have such skills, why do you need to take such risks?"
"Thank you Dao Friend for your kindness. Zhang also knows that he is very careful and will not wander around.
Just follow the comrades in office and pick up some odds and ends."
Seeing that although he spoke easily and calmly, his mind was firm, Meng Shentong did not continue to persuade, but just shook his head.
"In this case, Meng asked me to give my brothers some experience as a person who has experienced this."
Listening to his narration about his experience of exploring Yunsheng Ruins twice, Xie Duanyang couldn't help but secretly nod, and he really had some real feelings about this ruins.
However, what Meng Shentong said also avoided the truth and replaced the truth with many unclear and incomplete things.
This is also understandable. If it were me, I wouldn't reveal all the secrets easily, and would keep some parts to some extent.
Just when he was thinking about what price he should pay to convince Meng Shentong, he heard the old devil speak slowly.
"Since Brother Zhang needs it, Lao Meng will draw a map of the route he walked twice and mark the places where there are ferocious beasts and powerful prohibitions.
only……"
At this point, he changed his tone and whetted his appetite.
Xie Duanyang laughed secretly, knowing that the point was coming.
Just when he braced himself and wanted to hear what conditions the other party offered, he saw Meng Shentong lifting the corner of the horned turtle's armor and speaking solemnly.
"It's just that Meng was puzzled for a while, and I wonder if I can ask Brother Zhang to clear up my confusion.
What kind of yin fire was used to refining this robe?"
Although Meng Shentong does not refine weapons, he does not lack basic knowledge, not to mention he is also an expert at playing with fire.
After refining the spirit tortoise armor a little, I have a rough idea.
The black turtle carapace is strong and indestructible, and can be refined to make it as smooth and close-fitting as ordinary clothes.
In addition to the exquisite technique of sacrificial refining, it must also be related to the spiritual fire used. Only the yin and yang fire of civil and military forces can be alternately refined to achieve it.
That’s why Meng Shentong asked this question.
As for why he asks this, it is naturally related to his own path.
The "Jade Phosphorus Cold Flame" he practices also belongs to the Yin Fire path. There are only a few fire magic cultivators in the East China Sea, and those who are skilled in Yin Fire are becoming increasingly rare.
If we can exchange our experiences with this person, we might be able to use the stones from other mountains to attack our own jade, break the bottleneck that has been trapped for many years, and advance to the later stages.
In that case, it is actually more important than the tortoise shell.
Of course, this only means that it is possible.
But he has been stuck in his current state for many years, so he joined the Hundred Islands Alliance in the hope of using its resources to break through.
As long as it is possible, I will never let it go.
Seeing him asking about Yin Huo, Xie Duanyang's thoughts moved slightly, and he spoke half truthfully and half falsely.
"Brother's cultivation is simple, and he has not yet reached the point where he can transform the natal elixir fire into movement and stillness of yin and yang at will.
It's just that I happened to subdue a few mutated fire crows in the early years, and sometimes used them to help make fires."
As he spoke, he patted the storage bag and released the mutated fire crow.
Meng Shentong was also slightly surprised when he saw this fire crow, whose appearance and color were very different from those of its kind.
But then he was imprisoned in front of him unceremoniously, releasing his spiritual power and detecting it inch by inch.
Looks of joy and disappointment appeared alternately on his face.
"The appearance is quite good, but it's a pity that the cultivation level is a bit poor, and it's only a mere third level.
If you have level five cultivation..."
After the detection, Meng Shentong took back his consciousness.
But he did not let go of the crow, but still held it in front of him, slowly stroking its smooth feathers, and asked solemnly.
"Brother Zhang, we don't speak secretly.
This crow is of great use to me. I don’t know how many more you have in your hands. Can you part with me?”
"Zhang has a total of five heads with such a level of cultivation, but I also use them for refining weapons, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to part with them."
Xie Duanyang frowned and said with a troubled expression.
"But Brother Zhang should still have a baby bird in his hands. It is not difficult for us to cultivate it. It just needs some time to train it.
Meng is willing to bear the cost and loss.
Not to mention anything else, I still have several bottles of elixirs in my hand, which are quite effective in improving the magic power of early monks..."
After hearing his words, Xie Duanyang burst into laughter.
It would be fine if he exchanged it for something else, but he really wasn't in short supply of elixirs at the moment.
Moreover, although most monsters have long lifespans, their corresponding growth rate is much slower than that of monks, which is not what Meng Shentong said is not difficult.
Although I really don't care about the five-headed fire crow, this is not how business works, so there is no reason to agree immediately.
"Fellow Taoist, you might as well tell me directly where this fire is needed.
Only in this way can Zhang make a decision!"
Seeing Xie Duanyang's decisive refusal, Meng Shentong looked uncertain for half a cup of tea before he revealed his half-hidden plan and asked about the origins of these fire crows again.
"Zhang got these heads by chance, and their origins are not very clear.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I just heard that there seemed to be a fire crow who had reached the final stage of transformation and died in a secret place. His natal demon fire gathered and never dispersed, combining with the Yin evil in the earth's veins.
A powerful demonic fire formed.
And these fire crows were contaminated with the demonic fire and passed on from generation to generation.
So Brother Meng asked me about the specific practice, but he really didn’t know.
As for how to trade..."
Having said this, Xie Duanyang paused for a moment before speaking slowly.
"I have no shortage of elixirs for the time being, but as we are both fire magic monks, we have always heard of Brother Meng's cold phosphorus flames and have admired them for a long time..."
"No, this is absolutely not possible."
Before Xie Duanyang finished speaking, Meng Shentong shook his head and his expression became cold.
Although due to the change in vitality, the value of the skills and techniques in the human world has been greatly reduced, and they are not as good as rare elixirs.
But for monks like them, it's different.
Most people want to pass on their Taoism, but they don't want it to spread and be known to too many people.
If the enemy gets hold of it and finds a way to restrain it, it will be a disaster.
Before Meng Shentong joined the Hundred Islands Alliance, he acted unscrupulously and offended many people, otherwise he wouldn't be known as the "Old Devil".
In this regard, it is naturally more taboo.
If he hadn't known that Xie Duanyang had nothing to do with the Donghai monks and was owed favors, his current attitude would only be worse.
"Brother Meng made a mistake.
It is difficult for Zhang to fully understand the "Chiyang Righteous Fire Technique" taught by his master, so why can't he chew off more than he can chew?
I can't wait to exchange fire for fire..."
Xie Duanyang made suggestions calmly.
"oh?"
Meng Shentong's face softened a little, and he listened carefully to what he said, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
The other party's suggestion was that he was willing to give five fire crows to himself, but he only needed to condense the jade phosphorus cold flames and peel off grains of fire as a gift.
Since you don't know the secrets of Kung Fu and don't know how to practice it, it is almost impossible to find flaws in your own Taoism.
Except for the loss of some skills and the need to spend three to five months to recover, it can be said that there is almost no loss.
After several thoughts, Meng Shentong felt that he would not suffer any loss in this business.
He was also quite decisive. Once he had made his judgment, he immediately nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"Yes, it's just that this kind of fire always needs a container to hold the seal, otherwise it will dissipate in a short time."
Xie Duanyang had already considered this, and immediately took out a jade slip, entered the fire-avoiding bead refining method he had figured out into it, and submitted it to him.
"Zhang didn't carry those fire crows with him, but kept them in the volcano. It always takes some time to come and go.
If you and I don't agree to meet again at this year's trade fair, the fire bead refining method and this fire crow will be the deposit paid by Zhang..."
"Fellow Taoist is really interested."
Scanning the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, Meng Shentong glanced at Xie Duanyang in surprise.
Although the fire-avoiding bead is not an illegal treasure, he deduced it based on his own knowledge of weapon refining and several other rare objects such as the water-avoiding bead and the Wutu Yuanzhu.
This refining method alone is of considerable value.
This is also Xie Duanyang's intention.
In this transaction, Meng Shentong will not only provide the fire of Jade Phosphorus Cold Flame, but also provide the intelligence map of Yunsheng Ruins.
Although he had given him a favor by refining the spirit tortoise armor so early, from his point of view, it was all in vain.
Since this is the case, it would be reasonable to give him something back.
Of course, because the properties of real fire are different.
The fire bead that Meng Shentong refined with the cold phosphorus flame must have a very different function and effect from the fire-avoiding bead.
Moreover, he does not have such a strong and pure Earth Fire Yuansha here. It is not like the black python providing an introduction, and the mana consumed is real.
Meng Shentong was able to cultivate to such an extent without joining the Hundred Islands Alliance before. He is definitely not a fool.
After reading the jade slips, I know Xie Duanyang's temperament.
I understand that he doesn't want to take advantage of others, but I feel more confident about the transaction six months later.
The two of them had their own business, and after making an agreement, they said goodbye in a hurry.
Meng Shentong went to refine fire beads, and Xie Duanyang also rushed back to Earth Fire Island.
Taking four fire crows was nothing to him, but after that he had to practice combined attacks with Gongsun Li and others, plus explore Yunsheng Ruins.
Calculating it, I might have to be away from the island for nearly a year, so I naturally had to arrange some things in advance.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, and felt a little envious of Han Li.
The other party truly means that one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.
If anything happens, just pat your butt and leave without having to worry so much.
It's just that the two of them have different cheating skills and choose different paths. There's nothing that can be done about it.
Fortunately, now that Dongsong has successfully built the foundation, it can help him share more of his burden.
By the time he returned, Dongsong had completely refined the remaining medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill and officially released it.
Xie Duanyang then summoned everyone on the island and announced that he would be formally accepted into his sect.
You can imagine how much shock it caused to those in charge.
Although Dongsong was actually the head of the internal affairs in the past, his cultivation was still shallow after all, and he was a slave, so his reputation was not justified.
But now that he has become the island master's disciple, even if he is just a registered disciple, the situation is very different.
Fortunately, Dihuo Island is currently developing vigorously, and the relationship between them is acceptable.
Even if there is any impact, it will happen later.
The most anxious person may be the alchemist Xu Song.
He joined Dihuo Island, except for the volume "Duanyang Dan Yao", to a large extent to find a good way out for his grandson.
Xu Yiran's qualifications are much stronger than Dongsong's, plus he has a grandfather who is an alchemist, so he has no shortage of resources such as pills.
The foundation was successfully laid as early as last year, and we can only wait for the so-called ten-year agreement.
Unexpectedly, there was no news from Ningcui Island, which they had always secretly regarded as their competitors, but a maid quietly took the lead and took the lead.
"Island owner."
Pushing his grandson on the back, Xu Song stepped out of the queue at the same time, holding his hands up and about to speak.
"I know your thoughts."
Waving his hand to stop what he was saying, Xie Duanyang looked around.
"You will pass the order for me. In two months, the main gate of this island will be opened to officially accept disciples.
Anyone can sign up as long as they are clean and have no bad deeds, regardless of age or qualifications.
I will personally come up with the questions. Even if you have ordinary spiritual roots, if you have special talents in weapon refining, formation formation and other skills, it is not impossible for you to become my disciple.
As for the quota, it will be set at five for the time being.
As for whether it is a real biography or a registered one, it all depends on their performance..."
After saying this, the stewards next to me couldn't sit still.
Strictly speaking, they are not considered Xie Duanyang's own people.
Most of them have some close relationship with the Danjie monks who visited them to congratulate them, and of course they are not excluded from the task of collecting and communicating information.
In the past ten years, Dihuo Island has prospered and they have lived a comfortable life.
But the more this happens, the more worried I become.
After all, as time passes and Xie Duanyang's foundation is firmly established, he will inevitably cultivate real confidants to replace their positions on the island.
But now that they are proposing to open a sect to accept disciples, they think it is a sign.
Fortunately, it seems that the other party doesn't want to make things final, but rather misses the old relationship, leaving a glimmer of opportunity.
Regardless of age or qualifications, it seems to be specially designed for them.
I don’t dare to think about it, but if I have a named disciple, my position on the island will be stable in the future.
But this also means that we have to completely cut off the old relationship.
