The Great Wild God - Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Conditions
Dragon Binding Mountain was the inner courtyard of the Academy, and it was also the location of the Su Clan’s Sect Order Manor.
The enormous mountain peak was completely flattened, forming a platform that was over a thousand feet in radius. Dozens of large and small courtyards sat on it. Half of the mountain was wrapped in clouds and mist, and it did not disperse all year round, like a palace in the sky.
Compared to the buildings at the foot of the mountain, these pavilions and pavilions were not much different, except that they were more exquisite and elegant. However, each beam and pillar was made of 10,000-year-old sandalwood. Like the eaves of the stone foundation, they were engraved with densely packed profound talismans and talismans.
These profound talismans didn’t seem to be particularly profound and complicated. Most of them were True Yang Realm disciples who could grasp water purification talismans, Diamond Armor Talismans, Wind Imperial Talismans, and so on. However, they covered every tiny corner of the Azure Water College. In total, they numbered in the hundreds or tens of millions. They were actually accumulated by the Su Clan in the Dragon Binding Mountain for a thousand years. They were as large as large as the Star Callithrim Sea.
The plaza in front of the Xue Palace was only two hundred feet long, but the plaza at the foot of the mountain was not comparable to it. However, the eight to sixty-four dragon pillars erected at the foot of the mountain were exceptionally spectacular.
Each dragon pillar was more than one circumference thick, revealing a height of more than ten zhang. Its entire body was made from a large amount of scarlet copper. The divine dragon coiled up the pillar, revealing a ferocious and terrifying dragon head that resembled the roaring sun and moon at the top of the pillar.
Looking at the shape of the Dragon Pillar, the Coiling Pillar Divine Dragon broke through the earth and its tail was deeply stuck in the belly of the Dragon Binding Mountain.
Therefore, these 64 dragon pillars were only a small portion of the central formation of the Dragon Binding Mountain. The giant disk array was buried deep in the belly of the mountain and connected to the spiritual veins in the depths of the mountain. Only then would it be able to continuously absorb spiritual energy from the earth veins and maintain the operation of the central formation.
It was hard to say that Grandpa Zongtu said that although the Su Clan was not a duke, they were actually the same as the duke. Not to mention the vast Azure Water City, these 64 dragon pillars alone were already comparable in wealth, let alone the power of the formation represented by these 64 dragon pillars.
Looking at the towering dragon pillar, he thought that if he could find a spirit vein to set up such a mountain protection array, even Origin Core warriors would be able to attack without fear.
Most of the purple-clothed disciples, the deacons of the Academy and the Sect Lord’s Mansion lived in the courtyard at the top of the mountain.
As for elders like Su Fanglong, they were qualified to set up another cave at the top of Dragon Binding Mountain.
They circled behind the Academy and descended the Heaven Ascending Staircase. Within a hundred zhang height of the mountain peak, there were twenty to thirty unique caves. They were the residences of Su Fanglong, Su Lingyin, and other elders and deacons.
Chen Xun, Nan Liao, and Zuo Chonggu ran to pay their respects to Su Fang and explained their intentions to the disciples guarding the door.
The disciple took out a sound transmission talisman and asked Chen Xun to repeat his greetings. Then, he turned the sound transmission talisman into a streak of light and threw it into the door. After a while, Su Fanglong’s voice came from inside, “So it’s little friend Chen Xun visiting. Mu Qiu, quickly bring Chen Xun and the others in …”
Su Fanglong’s cave was covered in clouds and mist, and Chen Xun and the others were unable to see the entire scene from the top of the mountain.
After entering through the main entrance, Chen Xun could clearly see that the courtyard was actually built by hollowing out a corner of the Dragon Binding Mountain. It was not big. It had a radius of two acres and several refined houses. There were some bamboo orchids planted in the courtyard. The spiritual energy leaked out was several times denser than the peak of the mountain. The clouds that covered the sky could not escape from the courtyard.
Only then did Chen Xun know that the cave that the Elder of the Learning Academy had opened should be a cave that absorbed spiritual energy directly from the spirit veins of the Dragon Binding Mountain. Only in this way could late-stage Reincarnation Realm cultivators have sufficient spiritual energy to cultivate.
In addition, there were also formations in the courtyard to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out, as well as to prevent outsiders from intruding for no reason.
Su Fanglong walked out of the cultivation chamber wearing a Taoist robe. He stared at Chen Xun and said, “I was deeply saddened to hear that you died in the Jade Pillar Peak’s valley. I didn’t expect that you would have such a great opportunity …”
“Thanks to Elder Su’s care, otherwise, Chen Xun wouldn’t have been able to enter the Jade Pillar Peak valley alive.” Chen Xun handed over the medicine chest containing ten stalks of Scarlet Sun Grass. Su Fang Long’s nature was upright, but he, Nan Liao, and Zuo Chong Gu would not forget the number of greetings he should receive.
If it weren’t for Xue Gong, Su Fang Long, and the others who were naturally upright, Chen Xun wouldn’t have dared to make such a move.
Su Fanglong did not hesitate to accept the ten stalks of Scarlet Sun Grass. He sighed endlessly and said, “At the foot of Jade Pillar Peak, my entire body’s magical artifacts have been completely destroyed. Now that I need Scarlet Sun Grass to use as medicine to refine spirit medicines to restore my cultivation, I will not be courteous to you. Once the pill is refined, I will send the reward to the Northern Mountain …”
“Elder Su, don’t be so courteous.” Chen Xun exchanged a few words and explained his intentions. “Gui Xi is hiding his evil intentions. Beishan is outside Gui Xi, so the situation is difficult to stabilize and his heart is uneasy. This time, he wants to exchange more resources from the College. First, the Zuo Clan Master and the others will return to Beishan. Once the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram transaction is completed, I will settle with the College …”
Su Fanglong asked, “Beishan sold the Nine Revolutions Golden Core and the Scarlet Sun Grass in Azure Water City this time. The resources he exchanged for weren’t enough for Beishan?”
“There are five people in Beishan who managed to break through the profound aperture.” Chen Xun did not need to hide the secret of Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, Tie Xintong, and the others entering the Reincarnation Reincarnation Realm. If he wanted to stir up trouble with the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram, he would have to put on the face of the nouveau riche. “Therefore, the cultivation resources he had exchanged earlier were still slightly lacking.”
‘”Ah” Su Fanglong was shocked. Adding Chen Xun and Zuo Chonggu, this meant that seven Reincarnation Realm cultivators had appeared from the nine races of the Northern Mountains at once. In terms of numbers, they even surpassed the Su Martial Commandant’s Mansion and the Gui Xi Tribe. Although they were far from being able to compete with the Su Clan, they could already be considered a large force in Python Fang Ridge.
However, after careful consideration, Chen Xun was able to obtain two Heaven Ranked supreme treasures from the Jade Pillar Peak’s secret cave, the Azure Phoenix egg and the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram. There shouldn’t be a small number of other treasures. After more than three years, six or seven fetuses surged out of the Northern Mountain. It was truly normal.
What surprised everyone was that the nine races of the Northern Mountains were actually able to block the news, and they hadn’t leaked a single word of it for three years.
Su Fanglong pondered for a while and said, “The amount of things needed in the Northern Mountain is enormous. I can’t decide by myself. Please wait for two days. I’ll discuss this with the Sect Master and see if it will work.”
“Everything is troublesome for Elder Su.” Chen Xun said.
*********************
The meeting hall of the Sect Lord’s Mansion was nearly ten zhang tall, but many people wearing cloud-patterned magic robes sat behind the cloud table, causing people to not feel insignificant.
The red beard on Su Fuchen’s chin trembled with excitement. Before Sect Leader Su Shousi spoke out, he hoped that the College of Learning would reject Chen Xun’s additional request. “Chen Xun has done his utmost to win over the hearts of the people of the Northern Mountains. I think his ambitions are not small!” “Now that he has used the Kui Long Tian Diagram to stir up Cang Lan’s dangerous waves, we can just pinch our noses. However, if the Azure Water School meets all of his additional requirements, this child will not be able to guarantee a second Zhao Qingyang in the future!”
Su Fuchen’s words caused many people in the hall to sink into deep thought.
With so many disciples of the Azure Water College, it was already grateful to the heavens that two or three of them would be able to break through their profound apertures every year. In the past, the nine races of the Northern Mountains, with a total population of only 30,000 to 50,000, had actually produced six or seven Reincarnation Cultivators in just two to three years. This was truly stunning.
Right now, the resources that Beishan wanted to exchange for from the Academy included not only a large amount of pills and magical artifacts, but also cultivation methods, profound techniques, pill recipes, magical artifacts, and formation refining methods of the Reincarnation Realm.
If the Academy agreed to Chen Xun and the people of the Northern Mountain, how much stronger would the strength of the nine races of the Northern Mountain be in the next few or ten years?
“Whether Chen Xun will become the second Zhao Qingyang seems to be too far away.” Su Lingyin said.
Although she didn’t have a good impression of Chen Xun, she had her own considerations about the current situation facing the Su Clan.
The situation facing the Su Clan was dangerous. They could no longer act impulsively, nor could they continue to focus on suppressing the rise of the clans and sects in Canglan, ignoring the threat posed to the Su Clan by the sects outside Canglan, such as Yishan Sect and Xuanhan Sect.
Ten thousand steps back, the nine races of the Northern Mountains had no obligation to be loyal to the Su Clan. At this moment, the Academy had forbidden the cultivation resources from flowing into the Northern Mountains, forcing the nine races of the Northern Mountains to secretly trade with the Profound Frost Sect and Mount Yi Sect. In the end, it might even force the nine races of the Northern Mountains to completely fall into the Profound Frost Sect and Mountain Yi Sect, and call the Pyama Ridge out of the Su Clan’s control forever.
Although Su Lingyin understood these reasoning, she was not a person who liked to argue. Some of her words came to an end. The direction of the Azure Northern Wilderness and Python Fang Ridge belonged to the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor. She believed that Su Junyuan and the Sect Master had their own tradeoffs.
“Although Chen Xun took out the Kui Long Tian Diagram and the Azure Phoenix Egg, how much benefit did he get from the Jade Pillar Peak’s secret cave? Perhaps Su Tang knew about it, right?” Su Fuchen looked at Su Tang.
Su Tang had stayed in Python Fang Ridge for the past three years without returning to the Academy. He also had reason to believe that the Nine Revolutions Gold Pills in Chen Xun’s hand were actually refined by Su Tang. Otherwise, how would Chen Xun know the refining method of the Nine Revolutions Gold Pills?
However, it was not convenient to question her. After all, Su Tang brought back the Azure Luan egg that gave birth to the baby bird to the Academy. For this Azure Luan egg, no matter how much price she paid, it was worth it.
Su Tang, like Su Wuyang, was the most promising rising star of the Su Clan in the past hundred years.
Even if Su Tang hadn’t advanced into the Heavenly Yuan Stage, she wouldn’t be any weaker than an early Heavenly Yuan Stage cultivator when the Azure Luan grew up. Su Fuchen didn’t dare to say anything too unpleasant to Su Tang.
However, Su Fuchen had some reservations. Hearing this, Su Tang frowned slightly.
At present, only Daoist Greenwood, Zong Tu, and a limited number of others knew the true secrets of the Void Origin Secret Palace, and only she and Chen Xun knew that the Void Origin Secret Palace was hidden beneath the Frost Lake.
She was born in the Su Clan, and she had obligations and responsibilities towards her clan, but she would never betray Chen Xun. Yet, Su Fuchen had actually pointed the spear at her for no reason, wanting to force her to say more. He asked angrily,
“How much benefit did Chen Xun get from the secret cave? It was his fortune. What does it have to do with the Azure Water College? Could it be that Chen Xun owes you something else?”
Su Fuchen couldn’t calm himself down for a long time and his fat face turned even redder.
No one else criticized Su Tang for her wrongdoing, and she tacitly acknowledged that Su Tang already had the qualifications to do so.
After swallowing for a long time, Su Fuchen said embarrassedly,
“Chen Xun really don’t owe me, but I advise everyone to guard against this child, also in the heart. After the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram was released, there was no other interference between Xue Gong and this child, nor was there any reason for him to satisfy his additional requirements. He could exchange pills and magical artifacts with other families. “As for pill recipes, cultivation techniques, and artifact forging techniques, they are accumulated by the Learning Palace for a thousand years, and they cannot be easily leaked out …”
“Back then, it was indeed a big mistake for us to exclude Chen Xun from the Azure Water College, but the big mistake has already been made. What’s the point of saying all this?” Su Fanglong said, “Fu Chen’s words also make some sense. After the Kui Long Tian Tu was released, Chen Xun and Xue Gong truly did not interfere, nor did they have any reason to satisfy his additional requirements …”
Hearing Su Fanglong’s words, Su Tang hesitated a little. She didn’t understand how he could help Su Yunchen speak up.
However, Su Fanglong did not stop and continued,
“… At this moment, apart from the Yan Clan, Yuan Clan, Crimson Flame Peak, Qiyun Mountain, and other clans and sects, even the Marquis of Yuan Clan had shown great interest in Kui Long Tian Tu. Logically speaking, the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram should be obtained by the highest bidder, but ultimately it falls into the hands of the Crimson Flame Peak and the Yan Clan, who have a weak relationship with the College. They even secretly called for the Profound Frost Sect and the Yi Mountain Sect to compete for it, or into the hands of the Yuanwu Marquis Manor and Qiyun Mountain, who have a harmonious relationship with the College. There is still a big difference. I think I can still do Chen Xun’s work … “
