To be honest, what Wu Mei wanted to discuss was indeed beyond Xi Zhong's expectations.
He didn't expect that Wu Mei was still thinking about forming an alliance.
Xi Zhong actually made it very clear before that he was afraid of being stabbed in the back.
In this world, there are only a few people who can make Xi Zhong hand over his back with confidence.
It's just Sister Ren, Xiao Ping'er, and Hu Zi.
Now we are already in a situation where we are surrounded by enemies from all sides, but if we form an alliance with Wu Mei, who has an unknown purpose, what will we do if Wu Mei suddenly stabs us?
Xi Zhong's worries did not arise out of thin air.
First of all, why did you, Wu Mei, come to the Sword Mountain in advance and deliberately look for me, Xi Zhong? I, Xi Zhong, and you, Wu Mei, have never had any interaction, right?
Secondly, Xi Zhong has no idea what your Wu Mei intentions are.
Finally, why do you, Wu Mei, have to form an alliance with me, Xi Zhong? A female monk as talented and beautiful as you, Wu Mei, must be surrounded by wild bees and butterflies, right? Among those wild bees and butterflies
Although most of them are trash, there must be a few of them who can see through it, right? You Wu Mei didn't choose them, but you came to choose me, an eighth-level Qi Refining Realm monk, as your ally...
Why didn't Xi Zhong, who was naturally suspicious by nature, become suspicious?
So after Xi Zhong heard what Wu Mei wanted to discuss, his first thought was to refuse.
Alliance with Wu Mei doesn't mean only getting Wu Mei's combat help, but also the hostility of a lot of crazy bees and butterflies behind Wu Mei.
All in all, there were two reasons for Xi Zhong's refusal.
The first one is that Wu Mei’s purpose of coming is unknown, and she is worried that Wu Mei will stab her.
The second one is troublesome.
As I said before, Xi Zhong is very afraid of trouble.
Especially a beautiful woman like Wu Mei who can tell at a glance that she is in trouble.
If it were placed in the secular world, if Xi Zhong dared to take Wu Mei, a charming beauty, to the streets, he would definitely arouse the covetousness of some big shots.
This is not Xi Zhong’s previous world.
This is the ancient world of immortal cultivation, where kings and laws are decided by the mouths of those with authority.
When Wu Mei heard Xi Zhong say "there is a reason", she raised her crescent eyebrows slightly and asked: "The reason? What is the reason? Please tell me."
The voice was already a little unhappy.
Xi Zhong did not take care of Wu Mei's mood, but asked: "Sister Wu, let me ask you, if a stranger who has never interacted with you came to you and said, 'I want to form an alliance with you,' what would you do?
Make a decision?"
Wu Mei frowned, looked at Xi Zhong, and said dissatisfied: "You doubt me?"
Xi Zhong found it funny, "Why can't I doubt you, sister?"
Wu Mei was speechless.
Yes, when I think about it, it seems that she, Wu Mei, thought of things too simply.
Perhaps seeing Xi Zhong's clear pupils, he felt that such a young man would agree to his request.
And speaking of it, if Xi Zhong agreed directly, it would make Wu Mei worried.
Wu Mei had no choice but to ask: "Then how can you agree to form an alliance with me, my sister? No matter what the conditions are."
Wu Mei prides herself on having a good eye for people, but she is not worried that the young man in front of her will stab her in the back.
Hearing Wu Mei's question, Xi Zhong was slightly silent.
In fact, Xi Zhong does need allies.
However, Xi Zhong didn't know anyone, so naturally he couldn't win anyone to be his ally.
Now Wu Mei, a beautiful and powerful elder sister, took the initiative to apply, but Xi Zhong didn't understand her motives.
Xi Zhong had to be careful.
Xi Zhong pondered for a while, then looked at Wu Mei and said with a smile: "How about this, sister Wu, give me a reason that can convince me. If you can convince me, I will form an alliance with you."
Wu Mei didn't think twice and said directly: "Su Nian and I are enemies."
Xi Zhong: "..."
Wu Mei looked at Xi Zhong's speechless expression and didn't feel anything was wrong. She continued: "As the saying goes, isn't the enemy of my enemy my friend? And, Xi Zhong, don't you underestimate Su Nian and Yuan Qiong too much?
For now? Let’s forget about Lu Jie. He probably has a pretty good personal relationship with you. Let’s just say that you recently offended Zhang Yang. His injury is indeed not healed now, but the news I heard from my sister said that there was a middle-aged man yesterday.
A young man with extraordinary cultivation and aura walked into Zhang Yang's house, presumably he was the helper invited by Zhang Yang."
"That is to say, brother Xi Zhong, as long as you dare to show up in the third assessment, you will directly face the attack of three monks in the middle stage of the Consecration Realm. At the same time, there will be some junior sisters and junior brothers following them.
How do you think you can climb high in the Sword Mountain surrounded by powerful enemies?"
Xi Zhong said helplessly: "It stands to reason, but if you join forces with me as Sister Wu, doesn't it mean that you yourself will be implicated by me? Isn't it a bad thing to form an alliance with me?"
Wu Mei was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Actually, my enemies are not limited to Su Nian. In other words, Su Nian is actually okay. At least she and I don't deal with each other. They fight openly and honestly. But if some villains target me,
, especially when the backers behind these villains are not simple and their own strength is not bad, then it will be a bit difficult for me..."
Now Xi Zhong understood.
The common man is not guilty, but the jade is guilty.
You Wu Mei, with such an attractive face and body, will naturally cause countless troubles.
Of course, not only the face and figure, but also the extraordinary talent.
With extraordinary talent and a good face and figure, isn't that what these people are looking for as a Taoist monk?
No matter if it fits or not, just grab it and talk about it. If it doesn't fit, the big deal is to keep it as a forbidden animal.
For Wu Mei, some of these troubles are easy to solve, and some are not.
And seeing that Wu Mei could easily take out an ancient treasure and look at it before, Wu Mei's backing should not be simple, and it can make Wu Mei find it difficult to deal with... In other words, those villains who are secretly targeting actually have extremely extreme backgrounds.
Deep?
Xi Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Then you, sister, have drawn me to be on the opposite side of these villains. Then won't I offend even more people?"
Wu Mei said softly: "Are you really not going to form an alliance with your sister?"
After saying that, he really showed a sad expression.
Such a miserable expression on such a charming face is really heartbreaking.
However, Xi Zhong was still cold-hearted and began to remain silent, thinking about the gains and losses.
There are definitely pros and cons in forming an alliance with Wu Mei, it's just a question of whether the pros outweigh the cons or the cons outweigh the pros.
If he forms an alliance with Wu Mei, then Xi Zhong may really become the protagonist in the novel he read in his previous life, and be forced to stand in front of many villains.
But if he did not form an alliance with Wu Mei, then Xi Zhong would actually be in an equally uncomfortable situation.
Although this third climbing test is supervised by examiners, it also has a directly stated rule.
Disciples can hinder each other, but the bottom line is not to harm lives and the foundation of spiritual practice, and everyone can climb higher based on their abilities.
To put it bluntly, it is the law of the jungle and the strong. The conflicts accumulated between the disciples in the past can be resolved on this mountain of swords. Generally speaking, the examiners will not take action unless it is life-threatening.
After Wu Mei was successfully plotted on that mountain peak, will the monks responsible for supervision take action to stop it?
Logically speaking, they would take action to stop it.
But what if?
Wu Mei couldn't afford to bet on this eventuality.
She has actually prepared a space movement talisman.
This space movement talisman was bought by her martial arts family from a half-step Nascent Soul monk at a great price. It can only move in space within a hundred miles. This extremely precious talisman, generally
It is used to escape or chase people.
If you encounter a crisis, you can just retreat out of Sword Mountain. If you use this space moving talisman, even if the Bigu realm monks attack with all their strength, they will not be able to intercept it.
The reason why Wu Mei still wants to find allies is because she doesn't want to let villains like them get what she wants.
She was not convinced.
Why should she terminate the assessment because of these villains?
You must know that there are four assessments in total. If you pass the first two, you will be an ordinary disciple. If you pass the third, you will be an elite disciple. If you pass the fourth, you will be a core disciple.
She must become a core disciple.
Because the cultivation resources that core disciples can enjoy are much higher than those of elite disciples and ordinary disciples.
The core disciples not only have an independent island with an excellent cave for cultivation, but they also have the qualification to enter the library every three months.
At the same time, as a core disciple, you can also compete for the qualifications for the Dragon and Phoenix Pool, which is only open once that year.
Every branch of the Beast Control Sect will have two dragon and phoenix pools.
There is one outer door and one inner door.
The production of Longfengchi is very simple, but also not simple.
What is simple is the production method, what is not simple is the production materials.
The production method is very simple. You only need to select a place with abundant spiritual energy, then send out three Jindan monks to dig a pond, and set up the spiritual energy circulation formation according to the ancient book design method of Longfeng Pool.
As for the materials for making, it is very difficult to collect them.
Because if you want to make a real dragon and phoenix pool, dragon blood and phoenix blood, these two materials are indispensable!
And there are other equally precious materials.
The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan are the two races that stand at the top of all spiritual beasts.
Their blood is so precious and difficult to collect.
However, this is not a difficult problem for the Beast Control Sect.
Because the main sect of the Beast Control Sect has two deputy sect masters of spiritual beasts.
One dragon and one phoenix.
And because of the existence of these two, the main sect of the Beast Control Sect has a dragon and phoenix pool with the highest rank in the world.
As for the side branch, it can only rely on a little allocation from the sect to create the Dragon and Phoenix Pond.
A monk can benefit greatly from bathing in the Dragon and Phoenix Pool.
This is also a qualification that Wu Mei wants to pursue.
She must become a core disciple and enter the Dragon and Phoenix Pool.
