Chapter 219 Entering the game (65k, plus 400 monthly votes last month)
half year later.
Wangshu Fucheng, Yanyuan.
Duan Hong knelt in front of Master Chu, his face was like gold paper, and his eyes were full of despair.
"Dad, give me a little more time. Maybe there was just an accident at Datong Club and the result will be soon."
Palace Master Chu sneered: "Duan Hong, I have given you two more months, and my patience is gone.
If there is no half-year deadline at the beginning, I can wait. But since a deadline is given, the promise must be kept.
Since you pledged your life, let me pay with your life today. "
His momentum was like a knife pressed against Duan Hong's heart, bit by bit, killing without blood.
Duan Hong stubbornly stopped begging for mercy.
He knew very well that his resistance was meaningless. In front of the powerful Lord Chu, he might as well die with dignity.
Perhaps for the sake of his daughter, Palace Master Chu could spare his life.
"Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Palace Master Chu couldn't help but laugh angrily when he saw Duan Hong bowing his head and waiting for death as if he was resigned to his fate.
Duan Hong felt like he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders, and even his voice was a little squeezed and deformed.
"Dad, you have to admit when you are wrong. If you want to take my life, I have nothing to say, but can you wait a little longer.
Even if I die, I want to get a clear understanding and let Datonghui give an explanation. "
Palace Master Chu snorted coldly, and his momentum instantly retracted.
"Because you didn't tell Yanran about this, I will keep you for a while while you go to Datong Club to investigate. I will give you an explanation.
Otherwise, no matter what their origins are, there is a Xuanyang Sect behind this Palace Master, and not everyone can bully them. "
Duan Hong's heart trembled, and he was somewhat glad that he didn't ask Chu Yanran to come to the rescue.
Since two months ago, when the half-year period was approaching, he had been in fear and even planned to tell Chu Yanran about the matter.
After the two got married, although they did not have a real relationship, their relationship made great progress.
Especially on the day of their wedding, he showed no signs of throwing himself into Xiaodie's arms, which left a deep impression on Chu Yanran.
So if Chu Yanran is willing to help him, maybe Palace Master Chu won't really take his life.
But after he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was his way to die.
Palace Master Chu had already made it clear that he could not cause any further harm to Chu Yanran. If he involved her, Palace Master Chu would be dissatisfied with him.
Duan Hong escaped death and quickly thanked him: "Dad, I will definitely take care of this matter."
Right now.
"Why should Palace Master Chu be so angry? It's just two months too late. Couldn't the dignified venerable Lord Chu let Palace Master Chu wait two more months?"
A clear voice came from not far away.
Palace Master Chu's complexion changed slightly, and his consciousness stirred up, causing ripples in the air, but he could not find where the person who spoke was.
A figure slowly appeared in the air, it was Yi Xian who arrived late on purpose.
He possesses third-level magical powers, and even if he were to see the True Lord Yuanying in person, he might not be able to see through his whereabouts, let alone Palace Master Chu, who was in the late Jindan stage.
It was this ability that allowed him to interrupt Palace Master Chu's rage.
After all, if the performance fails, you will really shoot yourself in the foot.
But if he comes too early, it will appear that he is rushing to beg for help.
"Bai Gu, a Xuan-level member of the Datong Association and president of the Xuanyang Realm branch, has met Master Chu."
Yu Xian bowed slightly.
But Palace Master Chu didn't think the visitor was polite, and coming uninvited was considered a bad guest.
Instead, he felt infinite fear in his heart. The other party was only ten feet away from him, but he didn't feel it at all beforehand.
"Your Excellency is the president of the recently famous Datong Association. I thought you were an expert, but I didn't expect you to be a dishonest person."
Yu Xian was not angry, but smiled slightly.
“Palace Master Chu, this matter is indeed a miscalculation on my part.
The venerable person in the meeting who I was familiar with happened to be away on business, so it was my master who contacted another venerable person for me, so that I could complete the exercises for the master of the palace.
As for the delay, the compensation Master Chu will give me will be less than 200,000 spirit stones, which can be regarded as my apology. "
Palace Master Chu remained calm, but his heart was already filled with turmoil.
According to what Yu Xian just said, this Datong Association not only has the God Transformation Master, but also has more than one.
Of course, it may also be a deliberate exaggeration to deceive him. Everything must wait until we see the completed "Guanghan Pu".
"Since Your Excellency is already here, I must have brought you what I wanted."
Yu Xian pushed with his palm, and a piece of crescent stone flew out of the air and was delivered to Palace Master Chu.
"A thousand words are not as good as the facts. Palace Master Chu can inspect the goods first. As for the rest of the matter, we will wait for the Palace Master to confirm.
Speaking of it, this "Guanghan Pu" has a profound intention and is worthy of being a top-level skill. Even the venerable masters in the meeting also praised it a few times.
If the deadline hadn't passed, I would have kept it in my hands for a while longer. "
In fact, he spent half a year trying out all the women around him. Not to mention the physical fitness, even through practice, none of them could do it.
Yulan's qualifications are all based on drug abuse, and her innate bones are extremely poor. There is still a gap between her and the spirit body in the sky. The gap is not in her bones, but in her understanding.
So she meditated on Guanghan Pu for three months, and found almost nothing except sleeping more soundly.
Luo Han, on the other hand, put the technique aside after briefly comprehending it.
She practices the One Heart and One Pill Technique, which emphasizes single-mindedness. She has already become accustomed to the practice method that is consistent with the alchemy method. If she changes it rashly, she will easily be distracted by other things and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
What suits her is the most important, and even top-level techniques cannot make her sway.
Of course, the main thing is that I still can’t understand it.
But Yu Xian was also impressed by this mentality of breaking things off when necessary.
There is also Zhao Shiwen. Her qualifications are considered good among ordinary people, but she is still in the mortal category, let alone one.
In the end, Yu Xian, who had no other choice, even arranged for his own tiger.
As a result, there is still a big difference between human beings and monsters.
Even though Amiao has been familiar with human heritage culture since she was a child, and can be said to have a tiger-skinned heart, she still can't get in.
So Yu Xian had to give up the idea of taking advantage.
"Oh, Your Excellency, you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will regret it after taking advantage of it?"
Palace Master Chu rubbed his fingers on the crescent stone that inherited the "Guanghan Pu". The familiar touch made him immediately confirm that this was the original.
Yu Xian looked calm, with a touch of self-confidence, and a hint of unquestionable domineering.
"I believe Palace Master Chu is a smart man and will not make mistakes that will bring disaster to himself and the sect."
After saying that, Yu Xian disappeared in front of Master Chu, without any smoke and fire, as if everything that just happened was an illusion.
Palace Master Chu was on full alert, but was surprised to find that not only could he not find out when President Bai came, he didn't even know how he left.
"Such methods are respectable and terrifying."
Although he had never fought against Yu Xian, he had tried all his methods in secret just now, but he could not see through the slightest bit of falsehood or reality in him, so he knew that his strength was definitely not inferior to his own.
Even far above himself.
The president of Xuanyang Realm branch is not a small name.
"Could it be that the Great Union is real?"
Palace Master Chu was lost in thought, his temples were beating faintly, and it was obvious that his mind was spinning very fast at this moment.
"Yes or no, let me see if this skill is complete first?"
"Duan Hong."
"Dad, I'm here."
Duan Hong narrowly escaped death and saw Master Bai Gu appear in person. Most of the fear and anxiety that had been accumulated for a long time were cleared away at once.
He didn't know why he had such trust in Master Bai Gu, who had only been in contact with him for only a few days.
He thought about it carefully, and probably Master Bai Gu had seen his true side, so there was no need to hide it in front of him.
There is also an urge to die for one's bosom friend.
Not everyone can invest in a heretic golden elixir worth millions of spiritual stones when facing a young Qi practitioner.
Palace Master Chu threw the crescent stone to Duan Hong.
"I don't have to say whether bringing the exercises to Yanran will be effective or not. She is the most qualified person to speak."
"yes."
Duan Hong held the crescent stone tightly with a firm look in his eyes, as if he had grasped his future destiny.
…
Another three months.
Yanyuan.
The master of the Chu Mansion retreated to the garden and held a private banquet to entertain distinguished guests.
"President Bai, I have offended you a lot with my previous words. I would like to apologize to you. I hope Haihan will not take offense."
With that said, Palace Master Chu raised a glass of wine and saluted Yu Xian.
Yu Xian raised his wine glass and replied:
"You don't know me if you don't know me. Bai is new here. I would like to ask Palace Master Chu to take good care of you in the future."
"Haha, President Bai has done me a great favor. If you have any orders from now on, just ask, Yanran, why don't you propose a toast to your benefactor."
Palace Master Chu ordered his daughter sitting on one side.
Chu Yanran looked like a lady, her appearance had returned to her graceful appearance for some time, and there was no pain on her face when she used the secret technique. She seemed to be no different from ordinary people.
"President Bai, this kindness will be unforgettable to Yan Ran. In the future, if you are of use to Yan Ran, Yan Ran will not refuse."
Chu Yanran, who had regained her original appearance, spoke appropriately and had a gentle voice, without any trace of the tyranny she once had.
But Yu Xian, who had seen Chu Yanran's ugly appearance, was not tempted at all by this subordinate's beautiful wife. He just smiled lightly and said:
"I just happened to meet you. If you really want to thank you, why not thank your husband. If he hadn't guaranteed it with his life, my cooperation with Palace Master Chu would not have been so pleasant."
Chu Yanran smiled sweetly, and her hands under the table were already tightly clasped with Duan Hong's.
"Duan Lang treated me deeply, and Yanran will never forget it. No matter what happens in the future, Yanran will only have Duan Lang in her life."
In March, she practiced the "Guanghan Pu" that completed the general outline. The Hanyue magic power accumulated in her body began to harmonize with yin and yang. It no longer accumulated in the physical body, but was refined into her Dantian to enhance her cultivation.
Not only can her cultivation continue to improve, but she can also be the same as when she was first alienated, and she can become what she is now half the time every day.
But she didn't feel as desperate as before.
After all, it was getting worse day by day before, but now it is getting better day by day, and every day brings new hope.
Not to mention that she is now practicing top-level skills and her future is limitless.
For her, the Golden Core realm is no longer a shackle, and she can even try the Nascent Soul realm.
Duan Hong looked back affectionately.
"As long as you are happy, no matter what you look like, I like you."
Chu Yanran blinked and said playfully: "Then I will change back to my previous appearance to accompany you?"
Duan Hong's face froze, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I still like you better the way you are now."
Chu Yanran smiled and leaned on Duan Hong's shoulder.
"When I break through the golden elixir realm, I will be able to fully recover. Then we will never be separated."
Palace Master Chu on the side saw Lao Huai pleased.
He hadn't seen his daughter's smile for a long time since her body was alienated, and it was even more difficult for him to joke with others.
He couldn't help but look at Yu Xian, who was pouring himself a drink.
"President Bai, I won't say any more words of gratitude, but I would like to ask you to contact everyone, and even invite a big man like His Holiness to take action. Chu is really grateful.
This is a small consideration, but please don’t refuse. "
With that said, he stood up in person, walked to Yu Xian, and handed over an ordinary ring in his hands.
Yu Xian's eyes moved.
What Palace Master Chu took out was not a popular product like a storage bag, but a storage ring.
The storage ring is an upgraded product of the storage bag.
Not only does it have a larger space capacity, but it also comes with a divine lock. Compared with a storage bag, it is the difference between a password box and an ordinary suitcase.
Some storage rings will also have several spiritual spells imprinted in them. They are not too powerful, but they can be cast instantly, just like spiritual talismans.
However, storage rings are already high-end luxury goods, and the price is three to five times that of storage bags for the same space.
Not only is it rare to see on the market, but only VIPs from major chambers of commerce are eligible to purchase it.
Therefore, any monk who wears a storage ring will not have a low status and background.
I don't know how many bags the elders have in their spare time. It seems to be commonplace. He casually took the storage ring and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
Since Palace Master Chu was using it as a gift, he naturally erased the mark of divine consciousness on the storage ring early, so it was easy for him to penetrate it with his divine consciousness.
"Huh?"
Yu Xian put down the storage ring and said with a half-smile:
"Master Chu, did you take it by mistake? There are a lot more things in here than I want."
The things in the storage ring are very dull, just spiritual stones.
It's just that they are not one by one, but one by one. They are like a small mountain of spiritual stones. Although they are all low-grade spiritual stones, they cannot hold up in large quantities.
A pile of spiritual stones costs about one million, and there are five piles here.
That is a full five million spirit stones.
This number is not a small number for Palace Master Chu.
You must know that the inheritance of Wanshou Zhenren, who is also in the late stage of Jindan, only has a few million spirit stones, and a few third-level demon pills.
They were all hunted in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains later, and even got killed because of this.
For monks, having too many spiritual stones is actually of no use. It is more about getting various cultivation resources, and the real cash flow will not be too big.
Therefore, when Yu Xian proposed compensation before, it was also a reasonable price, only three million, which was exactly the price of three third-level demon pills.
Seeing Yu Xian's calm expression, Palace Master Chu smiled slightly:
"That's right, President Bai helped me so much and even used his personal connections for this.
If I don't give you more compensation, I won't be a good person anymore.
If President Bai really wants to be friends with me, please be sure not to refuse. "
Palace Master Chu didn't care much about spirit stones.
He has made no progress in cultivation over the years, and he has not accepted any disciples. He even only has one daughter, Chu Yanran.
And Chu Yanran was in a situation where she couldn't continue to practice. It could be said that she couldn't spend any money.
However, as the lord of the palace, part of the tax revenue flows into his pocket every year, even if he does not withhold it privately.
Not to mention the spiritual fields and mines under his name, as well as the resources allocated to him by the Chu family, and a hundred years of savings, it is not ordinary.
Not to mention five million spirit stones, even tens of millions of spirit stones, he could even grit his teeth and take it out.
But if it goes any further, the property will have to be sold.
Yu Xian shook his head and sighed: "Palace Master Chu is so polite. If I don't accept it, it will make it difficult for you. Then Bai will be ashamed."
"Ha ha……"
Palace Master Chu laughed heartily and toasted again.
"President Bai is very happy, please come to me."
"Drink together." Yu Xian raised his glass.
After some pushing and changing cups.
Palace Master Chu seemed to mention it accidentally.
"President Bai, in just half a year, you will be able to send the original exercises of "Guanghan Pu" to the Venerable and bring them back.
Could it be that the headquarters of Datonghui is not far from Xuanyang Realm? "
Yu Xian shook his head and said: "The Datong Society spans various domains, and its headquarters is even more mysterious. Even I have no way of knowing it.
As for how to send the exercises to the Venerable and bring them back, I have my own way. "
Palace Master Chu smiled and nodded.
"I understand, I understand, haha, Chu asked Meng Lang about this."
‘What do you understand?
Zhuo, if you don't tell me, how can I make it up in the future?
Riddler be damned! ’
Yu Xian was vomiting in his heart, but he had a look on his face that said, "You just know, that's all." His smile was very ambiguous and mysterious.
"Chu heard that the Datong Association has the fine tradition of "I am for everyone, and everyone is for me." I don't know what President Bai's Datong Association plans to do in the future. If there is anyone who needs help from Chu, please feel free to do so. Order."
Palace Master Chu chatted about business.
Although Yu Xian had helped him a lot and he was now considered to have interests involved with the Datong Association, if the Datong Association wanted to cause trouble under the Xuanyang Sect, then he would have to distinguish between public and private matters.
Yu Xian pondered for a moment and said:
"Even if Master Chu doesn't ask about this, I still want to mention it. In fact, the Datong Association is not a strict organization, but more like a platform to give hope to the monks who have no way out in the world.
The founder of our Datong Association once said that people in the world only marvel at the brilliance of the sun and the moon, but no one pays attention to the dots of fireflies in the night.
Although he is not talented, he is willing to light a lamp for the human race in the world, let the fireflies bloom, and make the night bright.
So the Datong Society appeared.
I don’t know if Master Chu has paid attention to it, but most of the monks who come into contact with our Datong Association are old monks who are running out of time and are approaching their end.
We give him hope, hoping that he will shine even brighter. "
Palace Master Chu said: "I thought this was strange before. Most of the Jindan Masters recently involved in the Datong Society were old monks who were approaching their end of life.
However, Chu is still confused. These old monks have basically exhausted their potential and are unable to break through. I wonder what Datong will do to greatly increase their chances of breaking through the golden elixir.
If this matter involves the secrets of the Datong Association, President Bai will treat me as a drunken remark. "
Yu Xian smiled mysteriously and said: "There are only a few ways in this world that can increase the chance of a monk's breakthrough. Could it be that Master Chu couldn't guess it?"
Palace Master Chu nodded in understanding and said something off-topic.
"No wonder the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's high-level demon elixirs have been in short supply in recent years."
Xuanyang Sect naturally knows how to use the heretic golden elixir.
And the main material is almost the same, it is either a human golden elixir or a demon elixir.
Of course, there are also other alien inner elixirs that can be used, but after all, the human and demon races are the mainstream. Other outsider elixir methods are niche and not many people study them.
"But there is still something unclear about Chu. Please answer it, President Bai."
"Please say."
“The Datong Association has lofty aspirations and is willing to support some monks who are approaching their end of life to make breakthroughs, which is naturally a good thing.
But I wonder if you have considered that the appearance of so many Jindan real people will have a strong impact on the original local order.
Now I can naturally hide something for the Datong Society.
But if the Datong Association is unable to restrain the congregation and the local order gets out of control, it will attract the attention of higher-ups.
At that time, it would easily lead to conflicts among high-level officials, and disaster would be inevitable. Is this contrary to the original intention of the Datong Association? "
Yu Xian knew that the main event was coming.
The conflict between Datonghui and Palace Master Chu is that once it gets out of control, it can easily threaten overthrow and implicate him himself.
Therefore, if you want to get Palace Master Chu, just relying on temporary favor transactions will definitely not last long.
Only when Palace Master Chu doesn't feel threatened, and can even deliver benefits to him, can he take the initiative to protect the development of Datonghui.
"Master Chu is overly worried. The development of Datonghui will never draw blood from the local area, but rather plunder foreign races to strengthen itself.
Therefore, my first stop in Xuanyang Realm was Wangshu Mansion, because this place borders the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.
The boundless Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range is the granary of Datonghui.
Therefore, Palace Master Chu does not have to worry about any problems they may encounter.
Of course, if someone violates the rules of Datonghui and takes the initiative to cause mischief in the local area, we will take the initiative to deal with them without the Lord Chu having to say anything.
The purpose of the Datong Association is to make friends with people, not to make enemies.
It is by adhering to this belief that our Datong Association can continue to grow and develop, and even attract many venerables to actively join.
Time will verify everything, and then Palace Master Chu will realize how correct today's decision was. "
There was a look of pride on Yu Xian's face, as if there really was a Datong Association with lofty beliefs.
After all, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.
Palace Master Chu was really moved. He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked:
"I heard that Datong will pay attention to equal exchange. If Chu wants to ask for the opportunity of Nascent Soul, what price will he have to pay?"
Yu Xian shook his head and said: "The world has only heard of heretic golden elixirs, but there is no such thing as Yuanying.
If you want the opportunity of Nascent Soul, why should Palace Master Chu abandon the near and seek the distance? Although Xuanyang Sect has no venerable leader, it still has a long history. Could it be that it still cannot satisfy Palace Master Chu? "
Palace Master Chu smiled bitterly: "Although Xuanyang Sect is large, there are only one or two monks like Chu. Chu has no talent as a monster, so how can I ask the sect to treat me favorably?"
At that time, he was only preparing for the real inheritance, but it was still one step away from the real inheritance.
This lower level represents the infant-transforming spiritual objects and infant-condensing opportunities prepared by the sect, and they are not qualified to get involved.
True Monarch Nascent Soul is the true upper echelon of the sect, a figure who represents the destiny of the sect in the future. There are always too many monks and too few monks.
Except for the well-deserved true disciples, everyone else who wants a chance at Nascent Soul has to overcome obstacles and defeat countless competitors.
Being sent to Wangshu Fucheng, he undoubtedly failed in the competition.
Yu Xian did not expect that the master of the Chu Mansion was old-minded. He was almost 400 years old, and he still thought about transforming into a baby.
Well, it seems to make sense when you think about it. At this age, if you don't make a breakthrough, you will be almost dead in a few decades.
But it’s fine if he asks for it.
How could he hang him without any demands?
As long as he is given a few more decades to develop steadily, and a hundred or so fake elixirs are created, he might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul, and he won't care about the attitudes of Palace Master Chu and the Xuanyang Sect.
So Yu Xian was silent for a moment, nodded slowly and said:
"I understand what Palace Master Chu wants, but the opportunity of Nascent Soul is too precious, so I can't give a guarantee.
However, if Palace Master Chu is willing to believe me, in at most fifty years, when Datong will establish a foothold in Xuanyang Realm, I can find an opportunity for Palace Master Chu to obtain the Nascent Soul. "
Seeing that Yu Xian did not offer a large package, but also made a vague condition, Palace Master Chu actually believed it.
After all, he didn't fully expect the Great Union, but he only had multiple choices when the time came.
Of course, the premise is that Datong Club will develop in a low-key manner as President Bai said, and will not make any big noise casually.
Otherwise, he will have no choice but to turn to the sect when the time comes.
The two people, who each had their own ulterior motives, exchanged cups and cups again, chatting as if they were old friends for many years. (End of chapter)
