When Lan Qiyao finally saw the shadow of the Tempering Treasure Pool after going through many hardships and tribulations, there were less than a hundred disciples still following her, and more than half of them were injured.
At this point, there is no point in regretting it. You are here anyway, and you have to experience the mystery of this treasure quenching pool. If you can get some benefits, you won't leave empty-handed.
"So that's Qin Muling? What a pity..."
Lan Qiyao's gaze swept over the other side of the Tempering Treasure Pond. Monks from dozens of factions had each circled a place and were all busy by the pond, keeping in harmony with each other.
When Lan Qiyao saw the lineup of the female cultivators in Yunmeng Heavenly Palace, she shrank slightly, and some of her little thoughts that she had had quietly disappeared.
Now that things were like this, it would be a blessing if the other party didn't take action. If he still took the initiative to provoke, the result would definitely be a dumpling, and even she herself would not be spared.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
A protector next to him asked, finally seeing the mission target, but he was unable to take action, let alone the frustration and anger in his heart.
Lan Qiyao thought for a while and said, "Let's rest for a while first, and then try our fate method. Of course, our supply of elixirs has been exhausted on the way, so we have to find the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Cauldron Sect." People get some elixir resources to heal the wounds."
There are so many monks beside the treasure quenching pool, and their net worth must not be bad. In the past, the people from the Shadow Killing Palace would have directly robbed them. After all, they were in the business of killing people and selling goods. Or if these monks are sensible and obediently hand it over themselves, they can avoid death.
But now the strength no longer allows it, and this place seems to be unable to take action, so Lan Qiyao can only choose to trade.
"It's cheaper for them!"
On the other side, Qin Muling said with regret, Xue Bingxuan and the other girls naturally understood what he meant, because force cannot be used here, and all the defeated soldiers in the Shadow Killing Hall would have to be killed immediately.
"It doesn't matter. Once we get out, we'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with them!"
Yu Lingzhou comforted him and said that the Shadow Killing Palace had suffered heavy losses in the secret realm. It was impossible to mobilize enough power in a short period of time. Besides, they did not dare to do anything too blatant on the territory of the Taoist court.
"That's the truth."
Qin Muling nodded, thinking about that unlucky old ghost Su Zhengji who sent away nearly ten thousand people in one breath. Her Royal Highness the Holy Lady Lan Qiyao didn't know how many people she brought here. Anyway, they have all lost completely now. I'm afraid I won't be able to live without her when I go back. Eat the good fruit.
In the area where the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Sect monks were, Lan Qiyao came over with two guardians and bowed slightly, her attitude was quite gentle:
"Master Yun, I want to buy some healing elixirs, and I hope you can make it convenient."
"Well, well..."
Yun Tianyi turned his head and looked at her with a half-smile: "You can buy the elixir, but the price must be twenty times the market price."
Lan Qiyao's expression changed slightly: "Master Yun, what does this mean?"
"It's very simple. There are too many twists and turns and dangers along the way. It always costs money to transport things here, right? Many of our fellow disciples have lost their lives on the road, and their pensions are also a lot of money. Isn’t it reasonable to increase the price for expenses?”
Yun Tianyi explained without blushing or heartbeat. Even though he was telling the truth, Lan Qiyao felt that something was wrong.
An elder next to him smiled and agreed: "Your Highness, our Dragon Tiger Alchemy Sect has always only liked to do business and pay attention to harmony to make money. This business is done voluntarily between you and me. There is no reason to buy or sell by force. So you If you find it difficult to accept, just don’t buy it!”
"..."
Lan Qiyao's face turned gloomy: "But your price is too shady. Taking advantage of others' danger and forgetting one's duty for profit is not what a gentleman would do!"
"hehe!"
Yun Tianyi laughed, thinking that you are a bloody killer who has done countless things to destroy families and seize property in your life, but now you still have the nerve to talk to me about the so-called gentleman's demeanor? Don't you think it's ironic?
"Your Highness, this price is already very fair. We give the same price to fellow Taoists from other factions, not just for you." The elder's smile did not diminish.
They were not afraid of the saint's falling out. After all, the Shadow Killing Palace also turned to the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Cauldron Sect for help. They purchased a lot of special-purpose elixir resources from them every year. There was no way they would fall out over this.
Lan Qiyao stared at Yun Tianyi with cold eyes for a long time, and finally said reluctantly: "Okay, just do as you say! I need one hundred Pure Yang Continuing Source Pills and fifty Six Path Return Pills." Soul Pill, and..."
She reported more than ten genuine elixirs in one go, then took off a space bracelet from Hao's wrist and threw it to Yun Tianyi. It was filled with spiritual crystals.
Yuntian Yi checked it out and said reluctantly: "It's still a little bit off, but considering the fact that the two companies have a lot of business in the past, I'll give you a discount. It's a deal."
Lan Qiyao: "..."
If she hadn't been concerned about the occasion, this domineering saint would have really planned to turn over the table.
The twin sisters beside Yun Tianyi took out bottles of elixirs from their respective space bracelets. After carefully counting the numbers, they handed them over to Lan Qiyao.
The saint's heart was filled with fire. She stared at Yun Tianyi with a gloomy look, took the elixir and turned around to leave bitterly.
She is not a tolerant and generous person. This second son of the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Cauldron Sect dares to bully her like this. He must teach him a lesson after leaving the secret realm.
Time passed quietly.
Regardless of whether the monks around him were willing or not, the performance of the female monks of Yunmeng Heavenly Palace was as eye-catching as ever, especially Qin Muling. One treasure after another kept emerging from the bottom of the lake, vying to fly into his hands.
It can be said that Qin Muling is now a moving humanoid treasure house, and the gains of all other monks combined may not be comparable to his. If they could, those people would have swarmed up and looted without any care.
A moment later, in the area where the female cultivators of the Goddess Sect were, a beautiful woman with graceful appearance and noble manners walked over gracefully, holding a small and exquisite seven-story purple gold pagoda that shimmered with precious light.
"My holy lady kindly asks Junior Brother Qin Muling to come over and talk,"
She bowed and said softly: "As long as Junior Brother Qin is willing to show his appreciation, the seven relics in this pagoda will be used as a thank you gift."
Qin Muling didn't say anything, and Xue Bingxuan said calmly: "This is impossible. My master has a strict order. For the safety of my junior brother, it is impossible to let him see any foreign guests."
Are you kidding me? If you, the foxy ones, really get a chance, why don't you try your best to seduce your junior brother? As the senior sister of Yunmeng Tiangong, Xue Bingxuan would never allow this situation to occur.
The beautiful woman said a few more words. Seeing Xue Bingxuan's resolute attitude, she did not continue to pester her. After saluting again, she turned around and walked back.
"I have no choice but to go out and find the right time."
In the area where the monks of the Goddess Sect were, a tall and slender masked woman sighed with regret. The Yunmeng Tiangong's border defenses were airtight, and they were determined not to let go. There was no good way for them to do so.
"Your Highness the Saint, aren't we going to return without success?"
A petite and exquisite female cultivator in a green skirt said gloomily next to her: "Don't you just want to borrow some luck from him? Senior Sister Yu went to invite him in person and promised a heavy gift, but he actually refused to give face. This arrogance is too much. It’s too big!”
They just saw that Qin Muling's performance was too amazing, so they wanted to invite him to come and talk, and discuss whether they could ask him to help and get some benefits for the senior sisters of the Goddess Sect. After all, the Goddess Sect and Yunmeng Tiangong had a good relationship in the past.
The masked saint shook her head: "From my standpoint, it is my duty to help you, but it is my duty not to help you. There is no need to say such things in the future."
Thousands of steps away, the territory of the Ji family's monks.
"...Sister, it seems they failed."
A delicate and delicate voice said: "I said that it is impossible for that person to have casual contact with outsiders, even if they are close allies. The people of the Goddess Sect are destined to be disappointed."
"That's not surprising,"
Another soft and mature voice responded: "After the gathering of immortals is over, we will directly bring gifts and go to the main altar of Yunmeng Tiangong to visit him! If he is really the legendary son of luck, then our Ji family will also You have to prepare for a rainy day.”
"Yeah, that makes sense."
In different areas near and far, monks from many forces were also communicating silently, and most of the topics could not be separated from the one from Yunmeng Tiangong.
After one day and one night.
Qin Muling silently estimated that the time for the secret realm to close was very close. Although there were still many areas worth seeing that had not been visited, it was already too late now.
Although Dao Zun Youxuan has fallen for an unknown number of years, the secret realm he left behind is still extremely vast and vast. The monks want to explore all areas of this world. A mere hundred days is not enough, even ten years. Twenty years may not be enough.
Of course, from Qin Muling's point of view, the benefits he has gained this time are enough, far better than other monk forces, and there is nothing to regret.
"Do you have anything else to say to me? If it's too late, it'll be too late!"
Qin Muling looked at Fengxia beside her. This little phoenix once said that she wanted to ask for something, but refused to say it clearly. Now, she should not continue to keep it secret, right?
"It's nothing actually,"
Fengxia looked calm: "I just want to follow you out of this place and become your follower from now on. You are a special being who is cared for by destiny. If I can always be by your side, I should be able to live forever in the future. For this reason Is that enough?"
"enough,"
Qin Muling nodded: "But I don't lack followers, but I lack a suitable mount. Since you are a pure-blooded descendant of the ancient phoenix, and you can travel through the starry sky as if it were nothing, you are just right to be my mount, what do you think?"
His words were intended to be provocative. With the extremely arrogant and reserved temperament of the Phoenix clan, not many people were willing to deal with human monks. How could they put down their dignity and serve as mounts for human monks? Unless he is a quasi-sage emperor, that's about it.
As everyone knows, Fengxia didn't look embarrassed and resisted, and agreed in a natural tone: "Then it's settled, I will be your mount, and you will be responsible for protecting my safety, and for achieving immortality and freedom in the future. This is fair. .”
Next to her, Luo Wanqing's expression changed slightly. She frowned and looked at Fengxia, thinking that her junior brother was still a little careless. This girl looked harmless, but she was actually very scheming! She acts as your mount during the day, so how do you know she won’t use you as your mount at night?
It's just that the junior brother's words have already been spoken, and as a senior sister, it's not easy for her to refute immediately. In the public eye, you must protect your man's face. I can only wait until I get back to worry about it.
In the blink of an eye, another half day passed. As the sky of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm was filled with colorful lights, the monks who were still in the secret realm were imprisoned by the power that came from the sky, and then were sent out of the secret realm one by one.
The Cave Secret Realm is finally closing.
But Qin Muling, who gained the most, showed off another move before leaving.
As the phantom of the huge green lotus leaf emerged, the massive amount of mysterious water essence in the treasure quenching pool spontaneously rose into the sky, pouring into the unfathomable depths of space like a sluice-opening Milky Way.
In just a few breaths, the large lake with a radius of more than a thousand miles was nearly one-third empty.
But this shocking scene could no longer be seen by the monks who had been teleported out in advance.
The entrance to the secret realm.
As the rainbow light fell like raindrops, thousands of monks emerged one after another. In the outer area, a large number of powerful men from the Taoist court were already in full formation to maintain order on the scene.
"Hey, where is my junior brother? Haven't you come out yet?"
When the Xue Bingxuan girls' vision returned to normal, they immediately looked for Qin Muling in the surging crowd, but found nothing.
"It shouldn't be. Could it be that he..."
With the tyrannical cultivation of Bingyuan Tianjun, the majestic power of divine thoughts instantly enveloped the entire audience, and indeed there was no trace of Qin Muling.
Just when the girls were secretly anxious, the familiar figure of the young man in purple slowly emerged. After a breath, Qin Muling was hugged by the senior sister.
"Sister, I..."
Qin Muling was about to speak when she was stopped by Xue Bingxuan: "No, we'll talk about it after we get back."
As a result, the female cultivators from Yunmeng Heavenly Palace boarded the star boat and, escorted by many powerful men from the Taoist court, returned to their base without incident.
It's not that there aren't some powerful monks who are interested, but after all, this is under the eyes of the Taoist court. No matter how unwilling you are, you can't break the rules.
Qin Muling was instantly surprised when a gorgeous and enchanting beauty walked out of the palace where she was stationed.
"Master, you're actually here too?"
He said in disbelief. Mu Yinghua had obviously been waiting here for a long time, presumably to take him back.
"I'm afraid it's not safe on the road, so I'll go there myself."
Mu Yinghua stepped forward and hugged him, looked at him for a while, and spoke warmly.
The actions of the Shadow Killing Palace and several other hostile forces were not considered top secret, so the senior officials of Yunmeng Tiangong were not idle. After discussion, it was decided that Mu Yinghua and a large group of Supreme Elders would set out to escort all those attending the gathering of immortals. The disciples of the sect returned, and for this purpose they even brought the Lihuang Nebula Tower, an important weapon of the sect.
Anyway, Emperor Xinyu is personally in charge of the sect's main altar, and with the power of the mountain guarding formation, even if a powerful enemy with the level of a quasi-sage emperor comes to attack, it is enough to ensure safety.
