Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 22 Senior Brother Is Not a Good Person
After listening to Princess Xiyun's narration, the three looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xu Chen wondered: "Even so, how could the Ziyang Sect of the Ming Dynasty be involved?"

Zhao Xuan also nodded and said, "That's right, the princess hasn't mentioned a single word about this matter."

Princess Xiyun hurriedly said: "I'm not very clear about the facts about the Ziyang sect. I only know that when my father sent me away, he mentioned that the news about the ancient tomb should have been leaked. There was once Ziyang sect. Zong’s cultivators asked him about the whereabouts of some immortal treasures.”

Senior Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Could it be that the fairy treasure in the ancient tomb is still in your hands?"

Princess Xiyun's body trembled, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The three of them came to a realization. It seems that the Marquis of Xilu should have obtained a few immortal treasures back then, perhaps from Princess Xiyun.

Seeing the straight eyes of the three, Princess Xiyun was even more frightened, and finally had to say in a low voice: "Zhao Qian does not have any real fairy treasures on her body. In fact, the fairy treasures have been taken away by King Pingxi, and my father only gave them I have a elixir."

Senior Brother Jiu froze for a moment and frowned, "Since it's an ancient tomb, how could there be any elixir? Even if it's an elixir, it would have turned into rotten soil after hundreds of years."

Princess Xiyun said: "I don't understand these things, but according to my father, the elixir is very valuable, but it is also very dangerous. It may have a great effect on breaking through the spiritual realm."

Brother Ninth stood up suddenly in shock, with a face full of disbelief: "Are you sure it really has this effect?"

Princess Xiyun shook her head timidly and said: "My father said this matter. Zhao Qian's cultivation base and knowledge are low, so she dare not speak nonsense."

Zhao Xuan also stood up at this time, walked a few steps back and forth in the room and said, "Senior Brother, it seems that the cultivator killed yesterday is from the Ziyang Sect, and they must have come for the elixir in the hands of the princess. "

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's true, but Ziyang Sect is the top three immortal sect in the Ming Dynasty, so how can they listen to King Pingxi's command?"

Although Xu Chen's experience is low, but his mind is still active, he thought for a while and reminded: "It doesn't have to be to listen to King Pingxi's command, the two may collude together to get what they need, and King Pingxi wants to kill people to silence this matter. If the matter is covered up, Ziyangzong can use his power in the Song Dynasty to track down the whereabouts of the princess and steal this elixir."

Senior Brother Jiu and Zhao Xuan nodded at the same time.

"That's right, my junior brother's reasoning is more reliable. Although the Ziyang Sect is powerful, it doesn't dare to arrange a large number of monks to enter the Song Kingdom to rob property, let alone a group of immortals and rare treasures. Naturally, they don't want to make too much publicity. It's also the reason why the monk yesterday didn't pay attention to King Pingxi at all."

After listening, Xu Chen said: "That makes sense, but the Ziyang Sect has strong alchemy masters, and maybe there are great monks in the spiritual realm. Since such precious medicinal materials, how could they only arrange for a monk in the true realm?" If you come to snatch it, if you come to a strong person in the alchemy realm, wouldn't you be sure."

Ninth Senior Brother immediately smiled and said, "Although Junior Brother is quick-witted, he still doesn't know many things about the fairy world. In the world, monks in the Alchemy Realm are considered top-notch, with only a handful of them, and great monks in the Spiritual Realm are even rarer. With seven or eight immortal sects plus casual cultivators, there will be no more than 20 strong people in the Danyuan realm, and only four in the spiritual realm. The strength of Ming and Song is similar, and there will only be so many people, and each Danyuan Realm monks are giants of one party, and every move will be watched by the fairy world. Therefore, countries are opposed to each other. Coming to the Song Kingdom and acting sneakily, I am afraid that he will be expelled by the joint forces in a short while, and Ziyangzong still has to cover up this matter in the Ming Kingdom, so how could it be possible for the fairy sect of the Song Kingdom to know, so they can only send a true Yuanjing Master come out."

Xu Chen suddenly realized.

Although these things are not secrets in the world of cultivating immortals, and even a little better monks know about them, but Xu Chen has never been in contact with them, and he understands them as soon as he hears them.

At this point, we have basically figured out the cause and effect, but also because of this incident, Taiyuan Sect may face Ziyangzong's revenge in the future, so Senior Brother Jiu looked at Princess Xiyun and said, "Since the elixir is in your hands , can you take it out for us to see, but don't worry, our Taiyuanmen will not covet this thing."

Xu Chen pursed his lips secretly, but remained silent with a dignified look.

Princess Xiyun hesitated for a moment, knelt on the ground and cried, "It's not that I don't want to hand over the elixir to the three immortal masters, but I just don't want my father to die like this for no apparent reason. I found out from private inquiries that King Pingxi It is said that my father tried to rebel because he colluded with the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court arranged for officials to go to investigate. It is also confirmed that, and now the family members are imprisoned in the capital for questioning. In order to give my father justice, so that the family can be safe, I am willing to dedicate the elixir to the three immortal masters."

Brother Ninth's face was cloudy and uncertain for a moment.

This incident involves the royal family of the Song Dynasty, King Pingxi, and Marquis Xilu. If it can assist in breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, then it is not something Taiyuanmen can swallow. Once Yuqing Palace and several other sects know about it, they will inevitably jointly threaten Taiyuanmen, and they will not stop even if they use their brains for it.

Therefore, although wealth is good, it is a hot potato. Unless it is as powerful as Yuqing Palace, no one can hold it.

And even if this elixir fell into the hands of Yuqing Palace, the Ziyang Sect would probably not let it go, but would contact the immortal sects of the Ming Kingdom to put pressure on the Song Kingdom.

In the end, this elixir must have a reasonable distribution method before it will disappear.

Otherwise, there will be a big fight between the immortal sects of the two countries.

Because no matter which country or which fairy sect it is, once there is one more great monk in the spirit transformation state, the relative strength will skyrocket by a large margin.

In the end, maybe this elixir will be destroyed and no one will get it.

This is the virtue shared by all human beings.

If I can't get it, then everyone should not think about it, unless there is enough compensation to satisfy everyone, but who has the strength to satisfy dozens of fairy gates in both countries?
And according to the current strength of the Taiyuanmen, if there is trouble, the mountain gate will collapse again, and the little vitality that has been accumulated with great difficulty will disappear in smoke.

Zhao Xuan frowned and said: "Brother, this matter is too complicated and involves too much, we'd better not get involved, it doesn't matter if we live or die, but it will harm the sect."

Brother Ninth nodded helplessly and said: "Forget it, we really can't afford to mess with this matter!"

After finishing talking, Senior Brother Jiu said to Princess Xiyun: "Your request is too high, we can't do it, let's let this matter go like this, we will leave the caravan tomorrow morning, be careful on the road ahead, go! "

Princess Xiyun turned pale when she heard that, kowtowed to the ground and cried, "Zhao Qian knows that she is unable to go to the capital, so I ask the immortal master to help me!"

Senior Brother Jiu didn't speak, Zhao Xuan frowned and said, "It's not that we don't help you, but that this matter is indeed beyond the capabilities of Taiyuanmen. If you really want to reverse the case for Marquis Xilu, you'd better go to Yuqing Palace. I think in the Great Song Dynasty, only Yuqing Palace has this strength."

Princess Xiyun cried: "Zhao Qian is no more than a mortal woman, and she has never recognized the immortal master of Yuqing Palace, so how can she ask for it? Even if there are three immortal masters, they still begged Nanyang City Lord in every possible way to get the opportunity to travel together. If the immortal master doesn't help, Zhao Qian really doesn't know how to avenge his father's grievances."

Brother Jiu said coldly: "Princess Xiyun, it's not that we are unwilling to help, but you also saw what happened yesterday, the monks who came from the Ziyang Sect were highly skilled, and the three of us brothers and sisters joined forces and almost lost our lives. We have done our best to you, so don't push yourself further."

Princess Xiyun fell to the ground and cried loudly, but seeing that the three of them were not talking, knowing that there was no hope for pleading, he could only kowtow to thank them one by one, get up and cover his face and leave.

After the door was closed, Xu Chen couldn't bear it and said, "Senior Brother Ninth, can you really help me with this matter?"

Brother Ninth showed a strange smile and said, "Of course I can help."

Xu Chen was puzzled immediately, and said: "Since I can help, why did the senior brother refuse so simply? You are not afraid that she will be overwhelmed for a while, and really take the elixir to go to Yuqing Temple. When the time comes, we will not see the elixir. It will also be missed by Ziyangzong."

Zhao Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, while pouring tea for the two of them, she said:

"Junior brother, you are still too kind. As the saying goes, it is not easy to get early. Although this is a bit harsh, but if there are some things that are not directly proportional to the rewards, it would be foolish to forcefully rely on kindness."

"Zhao Qian can't use this elixir, and she can't keep it. It will eventually fall into the hands of a certain fairy sect, either Ziyangzong or Yuqing Palace. As for other fairy sects, most of them won't even know about it in the end. "

"If Zhao Qian wants to reverse the case or even avenge Xi Luhou, all she can rely on is this elixir."

"Wang Pingxi is looking for him all over the world now, and even though a group of black-clothed killers arranged yesterday left, they must still be following him. Once we let him go, Zhao Qian will definitely die, so if we don't force her, what will happen to her?" Will be willing to take out the elixir."

Brother Ninth smiled and drank tea, and after listening to the interface, he said: "Our Taiyuan Sect is a well-known and upright family, how can we do things like killing people and seizing treasures."

Xu Chen's face twitched for a long time and said, "To put it bluntly, you are taking advantage of others' danger, so why should you say it so grandly?"

Zhao Xuan drank tea and did not speak, but Brother Jiu put down the teacup and said angrily:

"What does it mean to take advantage of others' danger? It's called taking what we need. The three of us almost died yesterday for no apparent reason. Zhao Qian looks weak, but in fact she is extremely alert and able to hide under the pursuit of King Pingxi for three years. , she is definitely not someone who will give in so easily, she said that she begged the Lord of Nanyang to arrange to go with us just now, and you know how long she may have secretly planned and waited for this opportunity."

"Uh, this..." Xu Chen was also speechless after being refuted, and finally curled his lips angrily: "Anyway, Senior Brother Jiu is not a good person!"
