The Great Wild God - Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Leaving Canglan
Most of the Tian Yuan cultivators who entered Cang Lan City now represented the major clans and sects around Cang Lan City. Since the Kui Long Tian Tu was publicly sold in Cang Lan City, and the Cang Lan College wanted to maintain a seemingly friendly relationship with Mystical Frost Sect and Yi Shan Sect, they could not refuse Mystical Frost Sect and Yi Shan Sect to participate in the bidding for Kui Long Tian Tu in Cang Lan City.

Although it was not a simple matter to comprehend the Origin Core and Dao Art of the Dharma Realm from the Kui Long Tian Diagram, there was nothing absolute about it, let alone the fact that the Kui Long Tian Diagram itself was a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao and possessed all sorts of divine abilities.

If possible, no matter what, the Su Clan wanted to prevent the Heavenly Diagram from falling into the hands of the Profound Frost Sect and Mount Yi Sect.

If the Su Clan was able to obtain the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram from the Marquis Manor or Mount Qiyun, it would help strengthen their relationship with the Marquis Manor or Mount Qiyun and relieve the pressure on Canglan from the Profound Frost Sect and Mount Yi Sect.

Do you want to suppress the rise of the Northern Mountain Range, or do you want to push the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram into the hands of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty or Mount Qiyun as much as possible? What is there to argue about?

Right now, the Azure Water City was bustling with winds and clouds. All the major powers had sent people over. Su could not force Chen Xun to agree to sell the Heavenly Diagram to any other clan. If Chen Xun wanted to cooperate and sell the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram to Mansion of Marquis Martial or Qiyun Mountain, then how could they reject Chen Xun’s request at this moment?

“I don’t have much contact with Chen Xun, but after hearing about him, I know that he is unruly and difficult to tame. In case of danger, I should first try to appease him.” Only then did Su Junyuan express his attitude.

In Azure Water City, Su Shousi, whose might was only below that of the Patriarch, remained silent for a while before saying, “Let Fang Long handle this matter.”

*********************

Hearing Su Fanglong relaying the opinion that the Su Clan had finally come to a consensus with great difficulty, Chen Xun knew that he still insisted that the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram should be obtained by the person with the highest price, so he didn’t know whether to die or not.

To the west of Mount Tu, within a radius of 10,000 kilometers, the Azure Water School, Mystical Frost Sect, and Mount Yi Sect were united.

Apart from the Su Clan Patriarch, the Azure Water School originally had six great Heavenly Yuan cultivators. As the only surviving late Heavenly Yuan cultivator, Yu Yaozi’s death at Jade Pillar Peak was a huge loss to the Azure Water School.

Qingyangzi borrowed Yunyou Xunyao not return, with defection; Apart from that, only the Su Clan’s Sect Master, Su Shousi, was left in the middle of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, while the other three early Heavenly Yuan Realm cultivators also had two Grand Elders surnamed Tai Shang.

The Su Clan was facing such a situation. It could be said that they were treading on thin ice. If they took the wrong step, it was very likely that they would never be able to recover, and their thousand-year foundation would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Chen Xun remembered that keeping the secret of the Void Origin Secret Palace required that the balance between the Azure Water School, the Profound Frost School, and the Mount Yi School not be broken. He smiled and said to Su Fanglong, “I still have feelings for the College. Since the College hopes that the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram will end up in one of the Marquis Mansion of Yuan Dynasty and Mount Qiyun, so long as it doesn’t hurt me too much, why would I have any objections?”

In addition, he had thrown out the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram to divert the attention of others, so he had never thought that he would be able to earn a fortune from it.

Su Fanglong also agreed on behalf of the Academy. Within the purple-clothed disciples’ authority, Chen Xun and Beishan could withdraw up to five million talismans worth of medicinal pills, magical artifacts, and other resources from the Academy in advance. However, Chen Xun needed to hand over the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram as collateral beforehand.

If it wasn’t for Azure Water College acting as a middleman, Chen Xun would most likely have been eaten to the point that he didn’t even have any bone scrap left if he wanted to secretly trade with forces like Mansion of Marquis Martial and Qiyun Mountain. Canglan College used the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram to get along well with Mansion of Marquis Martial or Qiyun Mountain, so there was still some soup left for him.

Chen Xun didn’t think too much and handed the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram to Su Tang in front of Su Fang Long.

Su Fanglong smiled faintly and didn’t point anything out. He tacitly acknowledged that the Kui Long Tian Diagram was in Su Tang’s hands and Chen Xun had handed it over as collateral.

The Nine Qi Yang Refining Technique was the fundamental Dao technique for cultivating the Dao Foundation. Using it to advance to the middle and late stages of the Reincarnation Realm, it was possible to open up more spirit veins than ordinary profound arts Dao Techniques. However, only the Kui Dragon Spirit Armor, a defensive divine ability, was also a disadvantage of the Nine Qi Yang Refining Technique.

In order to increase their strength, the people of the Northern Mountain needed to exchange for some supplementary Dao Arts, such as offense and defense, from the Learning Academy.

After advancing to the Reincarnation Realm, although he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate his spiritual power, it did not mean that he could get rid of his dependence on medicinal pills.

When fighting against enemies, Reincarnation Realm cultivators could not maintain their Spiritual Energy consumption by absorbing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. They also needed medicinal pills to recover their Spiritual Energy more quickly.

Of course, low-grade pills like the Black Python Pill and the Essence Gathering Pill could only provide limited True Yang Spiritual Energy, so they needed to exchange for higher-grade pills like the Nine Yang Pill from the Academy.

The refinement of magical artifacts and formations had always been difficult. At the same time, they were all secrets that the Azure Water School did not reveal. Chen Xun could only exchange some of the magical artifacts and formations he had refined from the Azure Water School this time.

The Academy had agreed to Chen Xun and Beishan’s early withdrawal of cultivation resources. It looked like a huge amount, but looking at an Intermediate Grade Magic Tool that looked like it, it would cost tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of talismans. Five million talismans could only be exchanged for three to five Dao Art Profound Techniques, three to five pill recipes, and eleven to twelve Intermediate Grade Magic Tools.

Before he had enough strength, it was undoubtedly an idiot’s dream to trade fairly with an aristocratic power like the Azure Water College. In any case, it was a loss, so Chen Xun could only grind his teeth and admit it.

Apart from the pill recipes, Dao Arts, and many other magical artifacts, Chen Xun had also exchanged a small mountain protection array from the Azure Water College.

The four-pillar Mountain River Array was a simplified version of the Dragon Binding Mountain Central Array. The components of the array were extremely simple. A disk array, four half-meter tall Coiling Dragon Spell Pillars, and other stray components could fill a small Cosmos Bag. However, such a small mountain protection array was worth two million talismans.

In Azure Water City, the highest grade magical artifact that could be exchanged for was probably the Four Pillars Mountain River Formation.

As a simplified version of the Dragon Binding Mountain Central Array, the Four Pillars Mountain River Array only needed four Reincarnation Cultivators to defend against the attacks of Heavenly Yuan experts. It had its own advantages, but the Mountain Protection Array needed to be placed on a spirit acupoint or spirit vein in order to absorb enough spiritual energy to maintain the operation of the array.

If there were no spiritual acupoints and spiritual veins continuously supplying spiritual energy, the formation would be able to maintain its circulation for half a day only by relying on the spiritual energy stored by the cultivator who was in charge of the formation or the spirit energy stored in the formation.

As a mountain protection formation, it was far from qualified to resist the attacks of other sects or clans.

The entire northern slope of Python Fang Ridge looked like a spiritual acupoint, and there was only Tianma Lake.

Although Tianma Lake was like a gigantic Spiritual Energy Gathering Formation, capable of gathering spiritual energy from heaven and earth, it was too large. If the four-pillar Mountain River Formation was set up, it could only cover a radius of a few kilometers in the sky.

The reason why Chen Xun didn’t hesitate to pay the price for the Four Pillars Mountain River Formation was because he didn’t intend to send it to Northern Mountain City.

Although the Azure Water School viewed the refinement of magical artifacts and formations as a secret that was not passed down, the profound spreading technique Chen Xunde had taught him was far more profound and powerful than the Azure Water School in terms of escaping armor and magical formations. However, it was not an easy task for Chen Xun to comprehend the profound spreading technique.

Prior to this, Daoist Azure Wood had taught Chen Xun the experience he had accumulated in drawing talismans and forging artifacts over the past thirty years. Only then could he smoothly comprehend the first layer of the Profound Derivation Technique.

However, Daoist Greenwood’s cultivation in drawing talismans and forging tools was rather limited, and his foundation was far from being comparable to the Canglan College’s Heavenly Yuan cultivators. Even if Chen Xun and Daoist Greenwood were not separated, without the guidance and confirmation of others, it would be extremely difficult for him to comprehend the follow-up techniques of the Profound Evolution Technique.

Chen Xun wanted to break down the four-pillar Mountain River Array and explore the knowledge of refining formations. At the very least, he was comprehending the Mysterious Evolution Arts and could obtain more confirmation.

If he could thoroughly study the Four Pillars Mountain River Formation, he would be able to comprehend the second and third levels of the Profound Derivation Art.

*************************

Chen Xun didn’t ask Daoist Greenwood to stay any longer. He had Zuo Chonggu, Nan Liao, Zong Sang, Zuo Qiu, and the others escort the magical artifacts, pill recipes, Dao Arcane Techniques, medicinal pills, Scarlet Essence Copper, Scarlet Crow Gold, and other refined materials that he had obtained from the Azure Water School back to the Northern Mountain first.

Chen Xun didn’t have the qualifications to directly trade with Mansion of Marquis Martial, Qiyun Mountain, and other sects. He lived on the summit of Dragon Binding Mountain and cultivated the Qi Controlling Technique that he had obtained from the Learning Palace. The transaction was entirely left to Su Fanglong, Su Junyuan, and the others to discuss. He stayed in Azure Water City and waited for the final result.

Two months later, under Su Fanglong’s recommendation, he met with a reverend of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty.

Qiyun Mountain and Yuanwu Marquis Mansion were both located in Yuanwu Prefecture west of Tu Mountain. They were separated from Canglan Mountain. In terms of inheritance, the inheritance of Qiyun Mountain was even longer.

Chen Xun had originally thought that the Su Clan would be more willing to form an alliance with Qiyun Mountain through the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram and relieve the pressure on the Profound Frost Sect and Yishan Sect through the support of Qiyun Mountain. He had never imagined that the Su Clan would actually hope that the Kuilong Heavenly Diagram would fall into the hands of the Marquis Manor.

Chen Xun pretended to be confused when the Su Clan intended to form an alliance with the Yuanwu Marquis Manor. He talked to the Supreme Deacon of the Yuanwu Marquis Manor who had the cultivation of the Heavenly Yuan Realm for a moment. Seeing that he looked down on this brat who had picked up dog shit luck from the bottom of his heart, he pretended to hesitate for a while before agreeing to the price quoted by the Yuanwu Marqueen Manor.

After deducting the water distribution from the Azure Water School and the magical artifacts and pill recipes that he had withdrawn from the Azure Water School earlier, Chen Xun exchanged the rest of his earnings for one ingot of Crimson Crow Gold, Nine Nether Iron, and other refining materials, and put them into a spatial ring …

Xumi Ring didn’t look very eye-catching. The storage space was only five to six times the size of the Little Cosmos Sack, but even the Grand Elder of the Azure Water School might not be able to have one.

Because the spatial space created by the spatial ring was much wider, many large-sized profound weapons and magical artifacts were more than enough to fit into the spatial ring.

**********************

The bright moon was like a jade disc, suspended above the clouds and mist, emitting a bright radiance.

Neither Chen Xun nor Su Tang was alarmed. They quietly left Dragon Binding Mountain and sneaked out of the Southern City Gate into the Southern City, where fish and dragons mixed together.

There was a dilapidated small courtyard in South City. It was the same place where the youth from North Mountain had settled when he first entered Azure Water City. At this moment, it had grown into a bamboo forest.

Su Tang had already set up a small tracer array in the bamboo forest, and now that she and Chen Xun were hiding in it, she wasn’t afraid that anyone would be able to peek at them.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay? With me and Fourth Granduncle vouching for you, you can join any Supreme Elder’s disciple to cultivate,” Su Tang Zhuo said. However, thinking about when we would meet again after tonight’s farewell, his heart was filled with melancholy. He couldn’t help but want Chen Xun to stay in Canglan. “Your luck, your talent, your perception, I think the Sect Master and the others are all watching …”

Looking at Su Tang’s beautiful face, it was so extraordinary under the bright moonlight. It was like a fairy walking out of the Moon Palace. Chen Xun looked at it and shook his head reluctantly. “Even if I took out the Kui Long Heavenly Diagram and the Azure Phoenix egg, others would definitely believe that the benefits I obtained from the Jade Pillar Peak secret cave were not limited to these two things.” Therefore, only if I leave can I truly turn everyone’s gaze away … ”

Apart from the distant earth, he had already treated Cang Lan as his hometown and home.

If there was a sliver of possibility, he didn’t want to leave the country. He still wanted to stay with Su Tang and cultivate Dao Arts together. However, in the Heaven Domain, where experts were respected, he was too unlikely to be a Reincarnation Realm cultivator.

During this period of time, he carefully roamed the steel wire. If he didn’t pay attention to it, it would be the end of a catastrophe.

He still needed to cultivate, so he couldn’t live this kind of frightening life all the time.

Unless Su Tang advanced into the Heavenly Yuan realm and was able to form a unique faction in the Azure Water School, or if he advanced into the Heavenly Yuan realm, he would have a stronger strength to protect the secrets of the Void Water School. Otherwise, he would only be able to calm down a little if he left the Azure Water School.

“Su Tang, Chen Xun, I’m coming” Qianlan activated the restriction and quietly sneaked into the bamboo forest.

“You didn’t alert your master, did you?” Chen Xun asked.

Qianlan blushed slightly and said, “When I left the mountain gate, I was stopped by Master. She seemed to have guessed that you would leave tonight. She asked me to give this to you, saying that she wouldn’t come to see you off …”

Chen Xun was slightly stunned. Su Lingyin had been cultivating in seclusion all this time. He thought that Qianlan would not alarm Su Lingyin if she met him in South City.

Qianlan handed over an item wrapped in lotus leaves. Chen Xun took it and opened it. It was actually a two-foot long sheathless sword. The blade of the sword was as bright as water, and the azure light was shining brightly. There was not even a trace of a profound talisman engraved on it. Beneath the sword was a silk book with the words “Spirit Sound Sword Technique” written on it …

Unexpectedly, Su Lingyin treated him calmly and indifferently. Not only did she not stop him from leaving Canglan, she even gave him the spirit sword and sword art that she had refined.

Chen Xun’s heart was filled with all sorts of flavors. He put the Spirit Sword and Sword Arts into his spatial ring and released a cloud of mist to cover himself. He took off the clothes on his body and handed them to Qianlan naked.

After Su Tang and Qianlan, who were dressed as him, walked away, Chen Xun drilled into the secret passage under the bamboo forest, put on a brand-new burqa robe, and sneaked into the stall of a storehouse …
