Chapter 516 – 516 Chapter 516 One Drop Of Water
516 Chapter 516 one drop of water
If Xiang Haohao agreed, he would have a reason to attack the ju Ling sect.
When Qin shujian pursued the matter, the traceless sect would have a reason to explain.
!!
But it was obvious.
Xiang haoqian had his own plans and did not follow his plan.
Yin Bancheng had no other choice.
Jing Bi n said, ” our sect has a grudge with the giant spirit sect. This grudge has been going on for thousands of years. I believe that sect leader Qin is a reasonable person. There shouldn’t be any problems.
“I think so.”
Xiang haoqian chuckled.
…..
Now, no matter what Yin Bancheng said to Jing Bi n, he would always give an ambiguous answer.
He didn’t give any affirmation to the preparations, but he also didn’t reject them directly.
For short, gruel mud.
He had no choice.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the traceless sect wanted to annihilate the ju Ling sect.
However, it was a different story from what Qin shujian would think.
The cool mountain spirit domain.
In the forbidden area, Qin shujian exited from his state of cultivation. The color of the spirit stones on the ground had dimmed. Most of their spiritual Qi had already been absorbed.
“Four hundred and sixty-three stellar acupoints!”
The corners of Qin shujian’s lips curled up into a smile as he looked at the opened stellar acupoints in his body.
He had used up all his resources in exchange for his current success.
Before he went into seclusion.
He only had 396 stellar acupoints.
There were indeed 463 of them now.
This time, he opened 67 stellar acupoints in total.
Qin shujian felt the surging power in his body, and the smile on his face became even more obvious. “I’ve opened 67 acupoints, but my strength has increased by at least 50%.
It’s just as I’ve guessed. The further I cultivate and the more I open the stellar acupoints, the greater the increase in my strength.”
He had yet to break through to the second level of celestial realm.
However, he had already made great progress in the first level of celestial being realm.
If Qin shujian had relied on his own abilities before he started cultivating, he wouldn’t have been confident in dealing with a cultivator at the third level of celestial realm without using his array formation skills.
Now, he was confident that he could suppress an ordinary cultivator of the third level of celestial realm with his own strength.
The higher one’s realm was, the longer one could live.
However, when one’s realm could not be improved, strength was the most important thing.
However …
Qin shujian sighed again when he saw the dull spirit stones around him. other Deva cultivators shouldn’t need so many resources to cultivate.
One after another.
He had used up thousands of spirit stones.
Under such circumstances, he had yet to advance from the first level of celestial realm to the second level.
If it had been any other cultivator of the first level of the Deva realm, they would have already broken through to the second level with the support of so many spirit stones.
In this regard.
Qin shujian felt a little helpless.
He had no choice. Opening the stellar acupoints and condensing the star myriad form required too much spiritual Qi.
They were much stronger than cultivators of the same level.
He also had to pay a corresponding price.
There were gains and losses, and it all depended on how one measured it.
Qin shujian didn’t want to get rid of the Guiyuan ancestral manual and practice a new technique on his own so that he could become a heavenly being.
Otherwise …
He had already done so long ago, so why would he have to go through so much trouble to synthesize the cultivation method?
The reason why he did this was because he hoped to have unparalleled battle prowess while having a cultivation level.
“A cross-realm challenge is good!”
“I just hope that I won’t be the one being challenged.”
Qin shujian shook his head. Then, he took out his communication jade talisman and read the information inside.
He ended his cultivation this time.
The first reason was that he had used up most of his spirit stones, and the second reason was that he had been disturbed by some news.
Qin shujian wasn’t in seclusion, so he would still receive the message.
Usually, if there was nothing urgent, no one would send him a message. But if he did, it meant that the matter was quite important.
Qin shujian got up from the forbidden area and looked at the spirit stones that were scattered all over the ground. He set up a spirit gathering formation again and covered all the spirit stones.
In the next few years.
These spirit stones would not be used.
At the very least, he wouldn’t use the spirit stones here before the spiritual Qi was fully replenished.
The star constellation body had its advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing was …
As long as he had enough spirit Qi, he could break through easily. After all, he just had to open the stellar acupoints all the way.
Unlike other cultivation techniques, even with the help of spirit stones, one still had to cultivate step by step.
But the disadvantages were obvious.
Without enough spirit stones, one’s breakthrough would be much slower than others.
After placing the spirit stones properly.
Qin shujian turned around and left the forbidden area.
In the Cheng Wu Hall.
Ju Lingzi and Xiang Hongfei looked at Qin shujian, who was in front of them. They stood up and cupped their hands.”Ju Lingzi of ju Ling sect (Xiang Hongfei of Tian Gang sect) greets sect master Qin!”
“Please take a seat,”
Qin shujian said calmly.
“Thank you, sect leader Qin.” The two of them sat down.
After they sat down, ju Lingzi and Xiang Hongfei also secretly sized up Qin shujian.
This was the first time they had seen this famous Deva-level great cultivator in person.
Qin shujian casually picked up the teacup beside him. He looked at the two of them and said, “”Why did the giant spirit sect and the Tiangang sect come here this time? I don’t remember having any connection with the two sects.”
you must be joking, sect master Qin. Your name is known throughout the cultivation world, and you are worthy of being the number one in the cultivation world of North cloud Prefecture. The two of us have always been curious about your reputation, and we only regret not having the chance to meet you on a normal day.
I heard that sect master Qin is in Yuan sect, so I came to pay you a visit.”
Ju Lingzi laughed.
Qin shujian nodded as if he had understood something. He then said, “”Since you’ve only come to see me, and now that you’ve seen me, can you two leave?”
“–”
Ju Lingzi’s smile froze, and the words he was about to say were all retorted back.
…..
He had never expected Qin shujian to reject him so directly.
To put it bluntly, this was already a slap to his face.
However-
With Qin shujian’s status, even if he were to publicly slap him in the face, he, ju Lingzi, would have to accept it. This was not the traceless sect, and the other party was not Yin Bancheng.
In terms of dominance and ruthlessness.
In the cultivation world of North cloud Manor, if Qin shujian claimed to be second, no one would claim to be first.
On the side, Xiang Hongfei’s expression was also serious.
Qin shujian’s words had already revealed his dissatisfaction with the two sects.
He had to think about it.
Was it because of the incident at the traceless sect that caused the other party’s dissatisfaction?
However …
Xiang Hongfei glanced at ju Lingzi, but he still did not interrupt.
Since the other party wanted him to personally go into battle, he would just watch.
In any case, this trip to Yuan sect was just for show. The real decision maker was still ju Lingzi.
Just as ju Lingzi was about to reply.
Qin shujian said, ” my sect has spread the news that no one is allowed to stop Yin Bancheng from breaking through. However, it seems that some people did not take this seriously. However, it’s fine if they just don’t take this seriously.
I’m just afraid that some of them won’t even put our Yuan sect in their eyes. That’ll be troublesome.”
“Sect master Qin’s words are reasonable. According to my investigation, the people who attacked this time should be Bai Yong’s Scarlet heaven sect and Yin Yang sect. If Yuan sect wants to cause trouble for Bai Yong’s residence, the giant spirit sect and Tiangang sect will definitely follow their lead.”
Ju Lingzi betrayed the two sects without any hesitation.
It was obvious that Qin shujian wanted to find fault with them. If he didn’t sell out the two sects, he would have to take the blame himself.
A fellow Daoist should die rather than a poor Daoist.
Ju Lingzi was very Frank and direct.
“Oh well, then giant spirit sect and Tiangang sect will be the first to destroy the Yin Yang sect and the red Sky sect. If the nine Palace sect attacks, I will defend.”
Qin shujian nodded and said.
The nine Palace sect was the top sect in Bai Yong mansion.
Every Prefecture had a top sect that suppressed the cultivation world.
Before the appearance of Yuan sect, the cultivation world of North cloud Manor was the only sect that did not have a top sect.
Hence, in terms of strength, it was the weakest of the 13 constabularies.
It was only now that the sky origin sect had appeared that this situation was finally broken.
“If sect master Qin says so, we will naturally comply,” ju Lingzi said seriously.
“It seems like the giant spirit sect and the Tiangang sect have really given our sky origin sect face.”
Qin shujian seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. His expression immediately turned cold as he said, “”If I’m not mistaken, you, ju Lingzi, also attacked Jing bianyun a few days ago. The Yin Yang sect and the Crimson Nimbus sect are detestable, but your ju Lingzi sect isn’t any better.
Originally, I didn’t intend to make a move against the giant spirit sect so soon, but since you’ve delivered yourself to my door, you can’t blame me for it. ”
The words fell.
A terrifying killing intent filled the hall.
Ju Lingzi and Xiang Hongfei’s hearts tightened.
In the face of this killing intent, the two of them were like small boats in the ocean that could be swallowed up at any time.
Ju Lingzi squeezed out an ugly smile and said, ” ju Lingzi is willing to admit his guilt. If sect master Qin really wants to punish me, I will accept it. Even if I die, I am willing to do so.
Qin shujian looked at him deeply and said calmly, “”You disobeyed my orders, so it’s unreasonable if you don’t receive punishment. However, seeing that your attitude is good, I’ll give you a chance to live.
If you can take one of my moves and not die, then this matter will be over. If you die, then it’s because your strength is not enough, and you can’t blame others.”
He was not strong enough.
Since he dared to go against his sky origin sect, he deserved to die.
Ju Lingzi’s smile disappeared, and his expression became more serious than ever. He could tell that Qin shujian really wanted to kill him.
One move!
Not only did he not relax after hearing this, he became even more serious.
It was a move from a Deva-level cultivator.
It was definitely extraordinary.
Ju Lingzi had no doubt that Qin shujian would die in the Cheng Wu Hall if he didn’t take this matter seriously.
He came to them with confidence and was killed in a clean manner.
If this were to spread out, it would be a joke.
Just as ju Lingzi was about to speak, Qin shujian’s finger touched the tea. He flicked his finger, and a drop of tea instantly shattered the void and flew toward ju Lingzi.
It was clearly a drop of normal tea.
At this moment, a fatal killing intent burst out.
Ju Lingzi didn’t even have time to think as he hurriedly used his trump card. The illusionary image of a Pagoda that had just condensed around his body was quickly shattered by the impact.
BOOM!
Blood spurted out of ju Lingzi’s chest as he was sent flying.
It was a sudden change.
Xiang Hongfei, who was sitting on the side and eating melon seeds, was so shocked that he stood up directly, his face full of disbelief.
His body crashed into the ground of the main hall, causing the entire Cheng Wu Hall to tremble.
“Pfft!”
After ju Lingzi landed, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
The clothes on his chest were torn apart, and his flesh was a mess. One could even vaguely see his beating heart.
Very quickly, ju Lingzi took out an elixir from his storage ring and swallowed it. The wound on his chest healed a lot, and his originally pale face also had a little bit of color.
He stood up with difficulty and cupped his hands. sect leader Qin’s strength is earth-shattering. I’m impressed!
His words were filled with weakness.
Qin shujian glanced at him and said calmly, ” there are some things that you don’t have to pretend to be too much. My words naturally count. If you don’t die after taking one of my moves, then I’ll forget about your previous disobedience.
“Thank you, sect leader Qin.”
Ju Lingzi’s pale face instantly turned rosy, and he returned to his original seat.
If it wasn’t for the changes, he would have thought that he was going to die.
This scene.
Xiang Hongfei’s face did not relax.
Regardless of whether ju Lingzi was severely injured or not, he was definitely injured.
A drop of tea had injured a peak divine martial realm expert. This kind of strength could be said to be shocking.
To be able to become the sect master of a large sect in a large region.
Ju Lingzi’s strength was even stronger than the average peak divine martial realm expert.
Not to mention half a step, half a day.
But it wasn’t that far off.
But even so, ju Lingzi was still injured by Qin shujian.
Even if ju Lingzi didn’t use his true strength, Qin shujian had only attacked casually.
Qin shujian said, ” let’s forget about the giant spirit sect’s attack. However, there were people who attacked secretly before this. They activated a doctrine artifact and self-destructed it. Do you have any explanation for this, sect master Xiang? ”
eh, I hope sect leader Qin can understand. My Tiangang sect doesn’t know about the self-destruction of the Dao artifact. Xiang Hongfei said seriously.
it doesn’t matter if you know or not. There has to be an explanation for this matter. If you receive my move like ju Lingzi, this matter will be considered over.
Qin shujian said in a nonchalant manner.
Whether it was Tiangang sect or not, it was not important in his eyes.
No matter what, he had to find a scapegoat to vent his anger.
Since Xiang Hongfei had come to him, Qin shujian would not let him escape so easily. Moreover, in his opinion, the person who had secretly attacked him was basically Xiang Hongfei.
The giant spirit sect made their move.
There was no reason for Tiangang sect to stand by and do nothing.
Xiang Hongfei’s mouth twitched a few times.
He finally knew.
This sect leader Qin didn’t need any evidence at all. He was doing things according to his own preferences.
Xiang Hongfei was also helpless about this.
“Sect leader Qin, may I ask if I can change the form?”
“What?”
“Tiangang sect is willing to contribute Two Spirit stones to make up for this mistake. I wonder if sect master Qin has agreed?” Xiang Hongfei said sincerely.
Qin shujian’s face, which had been tense, now smiled. He nodded and said, “”Since sect master Xiang has said so, if I refuse, it would be a bit of a loss of face for you. It’s decided then.”
“Thank you, sect leader Qin!”
Xiang Hongfei secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but immediately felt a little heartache.
Two Spirit stones.
For Tiangang sect, it was not a small sum of money.
However, compared to his own injuries, he could grit his teeth and bear the price.
Ju Lingzi, on the other hand, raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the hall, speechless.
Why didn’t he think of this?
Spirit stones for life!
To think that Xiang Hongfei could come up with such an idea.
If he could have thought of this earlier, ju Lingzi would have done the same.
Qin shujian’s move just now …
Although he wasn’t seriously injured, he was still badly injured. He would need at least a few months to recover.
Qin shujian said, ” I’ve finished talking about the small matters. Let’s get down to business. Don’t be in a hurry to answer me what your purpose for coming here is. Think carefully before you speak. If you continue to beat around the bush, I don’t have time to waste with you.
The giant spirit sect and the Tiangang sect had come to him for no reason.
Qin shujian would definitely not believe that nothing had happened to him.
Even if the two of them didn’t say anything, he could already guess a little.
The two of them looked at each other, and ju Lingzi said, “”Ever since Yin Bancheng broke through to the Deva realm, our ju Lingzi sect has always had many grudges with the traceless sect. Now that the traceless sect’s strength has increased greatly, ju Lingzi believes that he does not have the capital to resist them.
Thus, I implore sect master Qin to lend a helping hand and ensure the safety of my giant spirit sect. ”
“Tiangang sect also has the same idea,” Xiang Hongfei added.
“Protection?”
what kind of price can you pay? ” Qin shujian asked with a half-smile.
“Sect leader Qin, you can ask as long as it is within our means!”
thirty spirit stones for each sect. In addition, thirty percent of the annual net income of the various industries will have to be offered to the sky origin sect. If you agree, as long as you don’t deliberately cause trouble and it’s within the sky origin sect’s ability, I will ensure the safety of your sects.
Qin shujian said.
As soon as these words came out, the two people’s expressions changed.
Thirty spirit stones was still acceptable. The two sects could afford it even if they gritted their teeth.
However, 30% of the annual net profit of various industries was somewhat unacceptable to the two.
Because once he agreed …
In that case, the giant spirit sect and the Tiangang sect would be considered vassals of the yuan sect.
Moreover, thirty percent of the net profit was not a small amount.
It’s fine for a short period of time.
However, if this continued for ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years, this number would accumulate and become very terrifying.
This was not an alarmist talk.
How old was Qin shujian right now? according to the rumors, he was only around 30 years old.
As long as a celestial being expert didn’t die a violent death, they could live for at least five thousand years.
Qin shujian did not die.
The chances of the two sects rebelling against the yuan sect were close to zero.
In other words …
As long as they agreed to Qin shujian’s words, the giant spirit sect and Tiangang sect would be the vassals of the yuan sect for the next few thousand years.
Ju Lingzi’s expression was also fluctuating.
He had expected that Qin shujian would demand an exorbitant price.
However, he had never thought that the other party would be so ambitious.
The moment he opened his mouth, he wanted the two sects to become his vassals.
As for Xiang Hongfei, he wasn’t any better.
Qin shujian looked at the conflicted expressions on the two of them and said, “”The two of you can think about it carefully. The problem now is not just the traceless sect. In the future, when the eastern continent connects the three major continents, there will definitely be trouble again.
At that time, it might even affect the entire human race in the eastern continent.
If all of you agree, my Yuan sect can still protect all of you when the North cloud Prefecture is in chaos.”
Eastern continent!
The three great continents!
The two’s expressions changed again.
Although the Imperial court had publicized the matter of the three major continents, the news of the three major continents did not cause much of a stir before the restrictions of heaven and earth were truly opened.
Even when the news first spread and caused an uproar.
However, in the next few months, this news gradually died down.
Now that Qin shujian had brought it up again, the two of them finally remembered.
Ju Lingzi was silent for a moment. thirty is fine. However, I hope to change one thing. If our two sects are in danger, the sky origin sect must do its best to help us.
He could hear the loopholes in Qin shujian’s words.
What ability?
When the time came, sky origin would just randomly find an excuse and say that he was busy.
“Fifty percent!”
Qin shujian extended his hand and said, ” fifty percent of the net profits of the two sects. As long as it doesn’t damage the foundation of my Yuan sect, Yuan sect will definitely lend a hand to help the two sects when they are in trouble.
fifty percent is too much. If we give away so much, our sect will stop moving forward. Even if there are no enemies invading in another thousand years, we will still be destroyed.
forty percent at most, “ju Lingzi said with a frown. sect master Qin, this is the biggest compromise our two sects can make.
In his opinion.
If the sky origin sect was really that ruthless, then he would rather join hands with the Tiangang sect to fight against the traceless sect.
As for the so-called three major continents, everything was unknown.
Whether or not it could really threaten them was another matter.
Now he agreed.
It was equivalent to investing some in advance to ensure the future.
However, if they invested too much, they would rather take a gamble.
Seeing this.
sure! Qin shujian nodded slightly and said. sure!
50% was just nonsense. He didn’t expect the other party to agree.
Even to the extent that …
Getting forty Yuan in return had already exceeded Qin shujian’s expectations.
Originally, he had thought that if the other party argued strongly, thirty would be able to agree.
After all, as a sect of a large region, the foundations of the two sects were not shallow.
Now that two more sects were providing the sect with resources, it was equivalent to having another stable source of income for the sect. This was extremely beneficial for the sect’s development.
After the matter was settled.
The rest of the things were much simpler.
Qin shujian gave the two of them a deadline. They had to deliver the 30 spirit stones to the yuan sect within a month. As for the rest of the profits, they would be paid annually.
After the matter was settled.
Ju Lingzi and Xiang Hongfei also got up and left.
The two of them didn’t want to stay in Yuan sect any longer. The longer they stayed, the more they felt that they would lose.
Only after they left the territory of Yuan sect did their faces turn gloomy.
this time, we’ve really suffered a double loss, ” ju Lingzi sighed. we’ve underestimated him!
He had originally thought that there would be a limit to how shameless Qin shujian could be.
After all, as a Deva realm great cultivator, he still had to pay attention to his reputation.
In the end-
Ju Lingzi realized that this was completely different from what he had imagined.
When it came to shamelessness, he realized that he was still far from being as shameless as Qin shujian.
If he didn’t know the other party’s identity.
He almost thought that he was dealing with a local hooligan.
Xiang Hongfei also sighed. I’m done for this time. I’ve been screwed over by you.
Ju Lingzi deserved to be tricked.
He had been tricked because he had been implicated.
