Tianbao Building Headquarters, 325th floor.
As soon as Zhang Yao arrived on this floor, he met Peng Yuexian, who was pacing back and forth in the corridor. The latter breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him:
"Master, you are here."
He lowered his voice subconsciously and whispered:
"Master Haihe is waiting for you in the room. I haven't mentioned the Ruyi True Pill to him yet..."
"I know, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly and gestured:
"Lao Peng, you should go back first. Xanthium and the others just left. I may stay here for two more days."
"clear."
Peng Yue nodded first and whispered:
"Then please be more careful."
After Lao Peng left, Zhang Yao withdrew his gaze, quickly came to the door of Tianzi No. 3 room, took out the talisman and waved it slightly.
"who is it?"
The formation on the door flashed, and the alert voice of Master Haihe was immediately heard.
"Master Haihe, it's me."
Zhang Yao responded.
Soon, the door opened, and Master Haihe poked his head out. Seeing that it was Zhang Yao, he motioned for him to come in.
"Qingxu."
He closed the door, turned around, and said doubtfully:
"Lao Peng stopped me in a hurry and said that you had something important to discuss with me. What is it?"
"Is such that……"
After Zhang Yao sat down, he recounted what happened just now in detail.
"this!"
After hearing this, Master Haihe was quite shocked. He didn't expect this at all.
"So, what is the relationship between Li Shuixian and Yu Wentai? Or is there some secret in her that deserves Yu Wentai's solemnity?"
"I'm not sure about that either."
Zhang Yao spread his hands and said:
"To be honest, I'm also wondering. I can't figure out what kind of medicine Yuwentai is selling in this gourd."
"……All right."
Master Haihe pondered for a moment, then cautiously said:
"Then let's not discuss this issue for now."
"You asked Lao Peng to stop me, but how to deal with the problem of the Ruyi True Pill?"
"right."
Zhang Yao's expression remained unchanged and he said:
"Frankly speaking, the Ruyi True Pill is certainly exciting, but I am also worried about what tricks Yu Wentai is playing on it."
"With his methods, if he really wants to leave behind any secret hand, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to detect it..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment before speaking:
"So, I am going to dedicate this Ruyi True Pill to Fuhai Sect."
This was the rhetoric he had prepared long ago.
The life-extending elixir is a treasure that everyone dreams of. He can't just say that he doesn't need it, so he can only put it another way - he is worried that Yu Wentai will kill him.
Anyway, with the relationship with Master Haihe, after he dedicated the Ruyi True Pill to Fuhai Sect, he would definitely get huge benefits, which would also benefit Master Haihe to some extent.
"this……"
Even if Master Haihe had some guesses, he was still surprised and couldn't help but say:
"Have you thought about it?"
"Once you miss this wish-fulfilling elixir, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a second one within tens or hundreds of years..."
Zhang Yao nodded solemnly and said:
"I've thought it through."
"Life is certainly valuable, but instead of gambling on Yuwentai's character, it's better to exchange it for something more substantial."
"I see."
Master Haihe nodded slightly and said:
"Don't worry, I will immediately use Fuhai Sect's secret channels to report the matter to my master, Ancestor Wanchuan, and he will make the decision."
"With my master's cultivation in the Golden Core Realm, even if Yu Wentai is shameless and really leaves behind some back-ups, he can't hide his tricks from the old man."
As he spoke, he paused briefly and asked:
"Also, if you want to exchange this Ruyi True Pill for anything, you can also explain it in advance so that I can pass it along."
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, and he asked tentatively:
"I don't want much, just a portion of 'Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid'."
"Kunyuan spiritual liquid? This..."
Hearing this, Master Haihe hesitated rarely, and then whispered after a while:
"I'm afraid I can't promise you this in advance. I can only give you the final say, Master."
"Um."
Zhang Yao nodded immediately to express his understanding.
The four major golden elixir forces monopolize many precious resources and outputs, and Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid is the most precious one among them.
Kunyuan spiritual liquid contains a large amount of pure vitality and the essence of heaven and earth, which can directly raise the cultivation level of foundation-building monks by one level. It is effective for monks in the early and middle stages of foundation-building, but not for monks in the later and perfect stages.
Once you take it, you often have to stay in seclusion for at least ten years to consolidate your cultivation and adapt to the skyrocketing cultivation and magic power.
Despite this limitation, this is still a heaven-defying effect. It is one of the most valuable among all second-level elixirs and spiritual objects, and is rare in the world.
This thing is so precious, no wonder Master Haihe hesitates.
Taking himself as an example, even though he was Patriarch Wanchuan's most beloved disciple, he never enjoyed the Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid after he was expelled from Fuhai Sect. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would have built it decades ago. Basic consummation.
"There should be a stockpile of Kunyuan spiritual fluid within Fuhai Sect."
Zhang Yao thought secretly in his heart:
"I am in Dali. I will stay for another twenty years at most before leaving, so as not to be involved in the whirlpool of the Five Elements Secret Realm."
"If you can get the Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid, you can advance to the middle stage of foundation building and hit the late stage of foundation building in one go, and then leave after making enough profits."
He had also longed for Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid before, but he never had the chance.
The biggest bargaining chip he had that he could sell was the Tiandu secrets left in the Tianyin Mountains and Pingdu Gate. However, he was originally planning to use this information in exchange for the essence and blood of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, so he had no extravagant expectations. Can be exchanged for Kunyuan spiritual liquid.
It wasn't until the Ruyi True Pill that Yuwentai gave him that he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
…………
Three days later.
Zhang Yao and Master Haihe, who were waiting at the Tianbao Tower headquarters, finally received a reply from Fu Hai Sect.
Along with the reply, there were several elders of Fuhai Sect, all of whom were in the late stages of foundation building and had perfected their cultivation.
Ancestor Wanchuan agreed to Zhang Yao's conditions and said that he had prepared a copy of Kunyuan Spiritual Liquid, which he could collect after he reached the middle stage of foundation building.
Zhang Yao was extremely grateful for this, and handed over the Ruyi True Pill on the spot, and left Tianbao Tower with several elders of Fuhai Sect and Master Haihe.
The journey was uneventful and we returned to Fangzhou smoothly.
After returning to Cangjiang Water Mansion, he exchanged a few words with Lao Peng and others, and then under the pretext of retreat, he quietly sneaked out of the Cangjiang River and headed south.
A few days later.
"boom……"
White escaping light cut through the sky, as fast as lightning, crossing a large area of desolation.
In an environment where spiritual energy is completely exhausted, such amazing spiritual energy fluctuations naturally spread far away and can be clearly sensed hundreds of miles away.
But after each and every robbery cultivator group sensed the aura of the foundation building level, they all hid like a coward, not daring to show their faces at all.
"Ah……"
Zhang Yao's mind sensed this scene and couldn't help but chuckle.
Thinking back to more than ten years ago, when he was still a Qi Refining cultivator, he was inevitably a little wary of the large number of robbery cultivator groups entrenched here.
But now, his strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. The powerful enemy that he once feared is now nothing more than a chicken and a dog.
"I hope Master Wanhe's cave has not been opened by Mangshan Li."
In Zhang Yao's heart, thoughts flashed:
"Otherwise, once they consume the remaining demon blood essence or sell it, it will be a bit troublesome for me to get it again."
At that time, he basically knew nothing about the specific situation of Wanhe Zhenren's cave.
At this moment, he could only hope that Master Wanhe's cave formation had better be more powerful, so that it could stop the Mangshan Li family's more than ten years of research and breakthrough.
All the way south.
Zhang Yao spent several days and traveled tens of thousands of miles back to the territory of Li Kingdom.
Outside Mangshanfang City:
"Well, this formation is pretty good..."
Zhang Yao stood with his hands behind his back, maintaining the invisibility spell, and his huge spiritual thoughts came out, strafing the formation in front of him.
"Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" is originally a method for practicing the way to enter the body. The stronger the cultivation level, the stronger the attainment of the formation.
Now more than ten years have passed, and his formation attainments have also made great progress. The Fangshi Grand Formation, which was once like looking at flowers in the mist, is now as easy as viewing patterns on the palm of your hand.
"Li is a small and poor country after all."
"Although this formation that protects Mangshanfang City is also the second level, it is just the worst second level formation."
Zhang Yao's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he was still deducing the formation's spiritual veins.
If it were him back then, it would still be very difficult to break through Mangshanfang City's formation, but for him now, it is not that difficult.
After a while, Zhang Yao surveyed the entire Mangshanfang City's protective formation, and finally made further moves.
"Go!"
He circulated his magic power and fired more than a dozen magic formulas one after another. Each one hit a key node in the formation's operation. In conjunction with his own powerful magic power, it instantly interfered with the operation of nearby formations.
"Buzz..."
The thick clouds dispersed, revealing an obvious gap. The nearby formation veins were also shielded by Zhang Yao's magic power, making it impossible to transmit alarms to the formation center.
Zhang Yaofei flew up, directly penetrated the entire protective formation, and successfully sneaked into Fangshi before withdrawing the magic formula.
Inside Mangshanfang City:
Zhang Yao still maintained his invisibility spell, and he couldn't help sighing after his spiritual thoughts swept away.
More than ten years have passed, and a generation has passed in the mortal world, but there is still not much change in the world of immortality.
Mangshanfang City still looks as familiar as he remembered, and even some of the old neighbors are still there, but they are getting older.
"gone."
Zhang Yao controlled the escape light and quietly passed through the urban area, heading towards the Li family mansion at the top.
The reason why he did not arrive in a big way, but to sneak in secretly, was precisely to avoid alerting Mr. Li, so as not to alert the enemy.
His target was none other than Li's two foundation-building masters.
"Uh-huh!"
The powerful spiritual thoughts spread out and instantly penetrated the formation on Li's mansion.
"Found it! But there's only one..."
In mid-air, Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and showed an unknown smile.
"He's still an old acquaintance."
His figure flickered and disappeared.
And deep in the Li family mansion, Li Changlin, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating silently, suddenly opened his eyes.
"what happened?"
He looked around in confusion, and then used his spiritual thoughts to shoot in all directions.
"strangeness……"
Li Changlin frowned and found that the feedback from his spiritual mind was normal.
But just at that moment, he had a frightening feeling, a palpitating feeling like a heart twitch, which made it difficult to calm down for a long time.
"Is it my imagination? It shouldn't be..."
He muttered something to himself, feeling a little uneasy.
"Of course it's not your imagination."
A faint laughter sounded in his ears.
"who?!"
Li Changlin's expression changed with shock. He stood up suddenly and was about to pull out the spiritual weapon and start using it, but suddenly his vision went dark.
A ray of forest-white light suddenly pressed down and hit his soul. He fell to the ground without saying a word and stopped moving.
"This strength is really bad."
Zhang Yao appeared and shook his head secretly.
He took a few steps forward and blocked Li Changlin's magic power before waking him up.
"……you?!"
After Li Changlin woke up leisurely, he saw a figure covered in black robes, and then he suddenly reacted and said in shock and anger:
"Who is your Excellency?!"
On the outside, he was questioning in anger, but behind his back, he was sweating profusely, and in his heart, he was extremely frightened and uneasy.
The opponent was able to penetrate the three formations of the city, his own residence, and his meditation room, and he could approach him silently, and he could even knock him down in one glance.
Such terrifying strength is probably even more powerful than Taoist Wanhe back then. How can he resist?
He never expected that he would be practicing well at home, but a disaster would come from the sky, and his life and death would fall into the hands of others.
"Li Changlin, you don't need to know who I am."
Zhang Yao's voice deliberately sounded hoarse and old, and his tone was indifferent:
"You just need to know what I ask and what you answer."
"If you deliberately lie and it doesn't match the results of my subsequent soul search, then I will kill every one of you in the Li family."
The soul-searching secret method in his hand is not of a high level, and there is still the possibility of damaging the soul and causing memory loss.
Li Changlin had a family weakness and was not someone like Feng Dujuan. He would rather torture him personally and then use the soul-searching secret method to verify it.
"you……"
Li Changlin's complexion suddenly turned pale and he said in a trembling voice:
"What do you want to ask, Your Excellency?"
"It's very simple."
Zhang Yao stared into his eyes and said in a hoarse voice:
"That's about the matter of Wanhe Zhenren's cave. I want you to explain it clearly from beginning to end. Don't miss a word."
"this!"
Li Changlin trembled and said in horror:
"how do you know?!"
The Li family had only discovered the cave of Master Wanhe for more than ten years, and they had been guarding this secret closely.
Apart from him and another Master Establishing the Foundation, no more than five people in the entire family knew this secret. How could it be leaked? !
"Is there a mole in the family?!"
This was the first thought in Li Changlin's mind.
"Where I learned this, you don't need to know."
Zhang Yao's tone became cold:
"Don't talk nonsense, you just need to tell the truth."
"If you say one more nonsense, I will kill a direct descendant of the Mangshan Li family."
"I said, I said!!"
Li Changlin spoke repeatedly, his Adam's apple twitched, and then he whispered:
"This all started from an accident more than ten years ago..."
