"There's some trouble!" Nangong Wan frowned slightly as she withdrew her consciousness.
"There are quite a few people coming, but we are not bad either. Sister Wan'er, don't worry." Ye Xiyue smiled charmingly, without any panic in her expression.
Liao Qing also nodded Zhen's head lightly, her eyes full of confidence. However, she suddenly glanced at Mo Juren on the side, her concern undisguised.
"Am I that bad?" Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh, and felt warm in his heart. Although the other party was concerned and confused, he still had good intentions.
In the time it took to take a breath, the visitors had already flown closer. There are quite a lot of them, seven in total, three of them are strong in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and the remaining four are only in the elixir formation stage.
Judging from the clothing, temperament and fluctuations in mana, these seven people should belong to different sects, especially three of them are easy to identify. They are all Confucian cultivators of Haoran Pavilion.
"Who am I asking? It turns out it's you, Master Chu from Haoran Pavilion, Feng Laodao from Taizhen Sect, and Madam Liang from Red Lotus Sect." Ye Xiyue looked at a few people and then greeted them with a slight smile.
"It turns out to be Fairy Ye, and Master Lingqing from the Jiqing Sect. We haven't seen each other for many years. The two Taoist friends are even more elegant than before." Feng Laodao was the first to speak. His conversation was easy-going and natural, giving people a sense of immortality. feel. His eyes glanced at the other two people, then stopped at Nangong Wan, and asked again:
"This fairy looks strange. I wonder which Taoist sect he belongs to?"
"Yue Yue Sect, Nangong Wan." Upon hearing the other party's inquiry, Nangong Wan took the initiative to cup his hands and introduced himself.
"Yueyue Sect, that's it." Feng Laodao nodded, then smiled,
"I have heard before that the Yanyue Sect of Beiliang Kingdom has another comrade in the Yuan Ying stage. It turns out to be Fairy Nangong. She is indeed very graceful. It is Feng's good fortune to see her today..."
Immediately afterwards, several other Nascent Soul Stage monks also spoke one after another and exchanged simple greetings.
Obviously, the circle that has reached this level is not large. Unless they are newcomers like Nangong Wan, they basically all know each other.
As for the alchemy-stage monks on both sides, they were obviously not among them. Including Mo Juren, they had not attracted the attention of the other party's four Nascent Soul-stage powerhouses from beginning to end.
This is also normal. In the Dan Formation stage, even if you have reached the later stage, you are still a junior after all. Under the rules of the Immortal Cultivation World, where strength is respected, it is impossible to have equal communication opportunities.
Of course, with Mo Juren's identity and current fame, if he takes the initiative to reveal his name, he should get a chance to look at him differently.
However, he was too lazy to do so. It would be better to keep a low profile and save trouble. However, several of the other party's comrades in the Danjie period were very interested in him and looked at him from time to time. Unfortunately, he was always taciturn and kept away from strangers, which caused the few people who wanted to communicate to disappear instantly.
After a while of conversation, both parties finally understood the whole story. It turns out that the jade slip that Nangong Wan got in the past was not the only one, Feng Laodao also got a copy.
I just happened to take advantage of this time to attend the big trade fair, so I stopped by to check it out. The two people from Haoran Pavilion and Red Lotus Sect were naturally called by him to help, and those disciples in the Dan Formation stage were the younger generations of their families. They came to participate in the trade fair together and brought them with him to learn more.
When such a change occurs, it is natural that neither party can be the only one. They must either cooperate with each other and the final benefits will be distributed fairly; or they can have a big fight and the winner will decide everything.
Obviously, no one is willing to fight unless they are faced with absolute interests. If there is a 'bump', it really won't make sense.
Therefore, there was not too much wrangling, and both parties chose the former by choice and collaborated on the adventure together. As for the distribution of benefits, there are no fixed regulations. Both parties will rely on their own abilities after entering the site.
The first priority at the moment was to find the entrance to the ruins. Nangong Wan did not hide anything and told the situation that he had discovered before. After listening to it, the other Nascent Soul Stage monks couldn't help but be startled, and then they simultaneously let go of their spiritual senses to explore. After a while, the people who had regained their consciousness one after another all frowned, and it was obvious that they had gained nothing.
"How is it possible?" Feng Laodao's expression was slightly condensed, and with a flash of light in his hand, an irregular black jade slip appeared. He was about to re-examine the information inside, but at this moment, he was interrupted by a soft whine.
It was Nangong Wan who made the sound. The moment he saw the black jade slip, he seemed to notice something and took out his own one. Coincidentally, the incomplete part of the jade slip in his hand seemed to be vaguely consistent with the extra irregular edge of the opponent's one.
Feng Laodao reacted quickly, and a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, they nodded slightly and then raised the jade slip together.
Sure enough, the two jade slips finally merged into one. At the same time, a faint light shone from the jade slip and penetrated directly into the sea of consciousness of the two people along the palms of their hands.
The two were startled at first, and then realized that there was unknown information in the dim light.
However, after browsing through the contents, his expression instantly became extremely exciting. There are surprises, surprises, but mostly helplessness.
"We found a way to enter, but..." Seeing the looks from everyone, Feng Laodao was the first to explain. After a pause, he sighed and said,
"It's just that this site has restrictions. Only monks below the Nascent Soul stage are allowed to enter. We can't."
"What……"
"There is such a thing..."
"Then our work is in vain..."
"..."
Everyone looked in disbelief and couldn't help but started talking.
"Isn't it true that there are still disciples in the Dan Formation stage here? It's not in vain." Master Chu suddenly thought of something, and then reminded with a smile. Madam Liang from the Red Lotus Sect on the side also reacted and also smiled. Only Feng Laodao looked ugly.
It is true that there are descendants of the Danjie stage, but those four are all Chu and Liang clan members. What does it have to do with me? What's even more speechless is that he discovered this ruins by himself. The two of them were only invited to help, but now they are mainly guests.
He couldn't help but look at the other side. I'm afraid he was in a worse mood at the moment. Don't talk about whether it's a relationship or not. Just a junior in the Dan Formation stage is accompanying him, so what's the use of it?
In this case, Chu and Liang are the biggest winners. How willing he was to do this, his eyes glanced at the two of them, and then he became silent with a dark expression.
Contrary to Feng Laodao's guess, Nangong Wan and the girls were not at all depressed at this moment, but instead secretly rejoiced. What's wrong with there being only one monk in the Dan Formation stage? Those four combined are no match.
As for whether Mo Juren will keep the treasure for himself after getting it, there is no need to worry about it. Not to mention the complicated relationship between them, based on the other party's net worth, unless it is a truly top-notch treasure, he will never be greedy for it.
In this case, wouldn't the three of them just sit outside and enjoy the results without even having to do anything?
It makes people happy to think about it, but the three women did not show it. Instead, Rufeng Laodao looked at them with ugly expressions.
"Now that the matter has come to this, we can only act according to the rules of the ruins." The atmosphere was stiff for a moment, and Master Chu of Haoran Pavilion took the lead to break the silence. In line with his elegant temperament, it was very contagious. Turning to look at Feng Laodao, he continued,
"Brother Feng, there is no need to be depressed. You and I have known each other for many years, but you still can't trust us? Although these children come from the Chu and Liang families, they are also your descendants. Once you gain something after entering the ruins, they will be the same as you and me after they come out. The three of them will share it equally. Chu can guarantee this, and Mrs. Liang probably thinks so too."
"What Fellow Daoist Chu said is true. I, Aunt Liang, am not that kind of greedy person. If Fellow Daoist Feng doesn't believe it, I can swear it." Mrs. Liang promised immediately.
"Forget it if you swear an oath, Feng can trust you two." Seeing the attitude of the two of them, Feng Laodao immediately chose to stop them, but secretly sneered in his heart.
It's really realistic. Originally, it was just to assist the boxing, and the final distribution was to get the lion's share. But now it's better, it's directly divided among the three.
This was obviously the latest condition thrown out, but he had no room for bargaining. Otherwise, the other party will stop playing and leave with their respective children, without even getting a single hair from them.
After weighing the pros and cons, he could only accept the reality. This time Quan was unlucky and let nature take its course as much as he could gain.
They put away their thoughts and turned to look at the other three women, especially Nangong Wan. After all, one of the keys to the entrance to the ruins was in the opponent's hand.
"Although I am helpless, I can only accept it. Let the younger generations enter the ruins as a training for them. As for us elders, we will stay outside to protect the Dharma." Nangong Wan said this, especially When talking about the word "elder", the tone was deliberately emphasized. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Mo Juren seemingly inadvertently, and a hint of cunning flashed through her, fleetingly.
"Feng Mou admires how generous Daoist Nangong is." Feng Laodao was a little surprised. He never thought that the other party could be so open-minded, and the other two women had no objection.
That's fine, it saves you time and effort. At the same time, he once again stated the rules after entering the ruins, that is, there are no rules. As long as you don't kill people, you can do whatever you want, and everyone can act according to their own abilities. As for whether the other party's only one person would be targeted by the four people, he said he didn't know and couldn't control it, so he simply didn't mention it.
"Okay, since both parties agree, let's get started." After the discussion was decided, Feng Laodao stopped talking and raised half of the jade slips in his hand again, and Nangong Wan did the same.
The moment the two jade slips merged together, the two of them had a thought almost at the same time, and their powerful mana was inputted crazily into them. In an instant, a dark light flashed on the surface of the jade slip, and it escaped from the hands of the two of them, slowly floating in the air.
Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other, and then they quickly used both hands to create a series of spells and penetrated them continuously.
After about a moment, the black light on the surface of the jade slip skyrocketed again, and began to spread around the jade slip, eventually expanding to a radius of several feet.
The two stopped entering the magic formula and continued to input mana. As time passed, the area about one foot in diameter in the center of the black light began to gradually dissipate, and two strange black stone doors emerged.
Everyone looked surprised. Aren't those black stone gates the same two jade slips just now? I didn't expect that I would be in front of everyone again in this way.
At this time, Feng Laodao and Nangong Wan finally stopped. The former seemed unwilling to give in. After quickly approaching the door, he gave it a try. Unfortunately, neither inputting mana nor using brute force was of any use.
At this point, he completely accepted the reality and said after returning:
"It's almost time. You all can enter. Remember, this passage can only last for three days. You must return immediately after three days, otherwise you will have to be locked in. As for the method of entry, it is also very simple. Just fly Just go in, and the stone gate won't block it."
"Then I'll go in." Several disciples in the Danjie stage did not hesitate, and after bowing respectfully, they all flew towards the stone gate. Sure enough, as Feng Laodao said, the moment he approached the stone gate, there was no obstruction, as if he had passed through a wall of water and was submerged in it instantly.
"Be careful!" Master Liaoqing reminded him softly. Mo Juren nodded and flew forward directly. In the blink of an eye, he also entered the stone gate and disappeared.
The surroundings instantly became quiet. Although both parties had different thoughts, they both couldn't help but feel worried. After all, they are all juniors in the Dan Formation stage and are the core of their respective parties. If anything happens to any one of them, it will be a huge loss.
…
The moment he walked through the stone gate, Mo Juren felt an invisible suction coming from him. Before he could react, he instantly appeared in a strange space.
This is a vast stone palace, empty without any furnishings.
Looking back, I saw that the passage behind me still existed, and it was obvious that I could leave at any time. On the front wall of the palace, there are impressively built stone gates, one large, four small, and five.
Obviously, these are five passages, and it is not clear where they lead, but it does not take much to know that the one in the center must be of the highest value.
Not only Mo Juren, but also the other four alchemy stage monks around him also thought of this. At this moment, the four of them were gathering together and discussing quietly.
Mo Juren was too lazy to waste time and immediately went straight to the stone gate in the center. But at this moment, he was suddenly stopped by a figure.
"What is this fellow Taoist going to do?" Standing in front of him was a middle-aged male cultivator with an ordinary appearance, but with a cold and stern temperament. He was wearing a large black robe, and his cultivation was the same as him. In the late stage of elixir formation. In comparison, the other three were somewhat inferior. Only two were in the middle stage of pill formation, and the remaining one was only in the early stage of pill formation.
Even so, the four of them are still very confident, four against one, and one of them is at the same level as the other party in the late stage of pill formation. With such a huge gap, isn't it easy to defeat the other party?
"Of course it's treasure hunting, do you have any objections?" Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged and he asked the other party unusually calmly.
"There are indeed some immature suggestions..." The cold and stern man chuckled. However, before he could continue, he was interrupted by the other party,
"Since it's immature, don't say it out loud to avoid embarrassment."
"You...you are looking for death..." The cold and stern man's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he glanced at the three people next to him. Immediately, the four people's shapes instantly changed, occupying the front, rear, left, and right sides, and directly surrounded them.
"Tsk, tsk, I can't hold myself back so quickly. Is it possible that Mo looks so easy to bully?" Mo Juren's expression remained calm, and there was no hint of panic.
This seemed to be a confident scene, and the cold and stern man in front of him couldn't help but frown. I thought to myself, could I be pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? The strength of the monks cannot be simply distinguished by their realm. They are also in the late stage of pill formation, but their true combat effectiveness may be very different. It is better to be careful.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled again and said:
"Right, Fellow Daoist Mo, why are you so sensitive? The suggestion Wu just mentioned was purely for your benefit. Under the premise that the four of us have already chosen the stone gate in the center, Fellow Daoist followed him. Why go all the way in vain when you can gain something?”
"What if Mo doesn't accept this 'good offer' and insists on choosing the middle school?" Mo Juren's eyes flashed coldly, but the smile on his face grew stronger, and he stared at the other party and asked.
