The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

After counting the spirit stones, Si Liang nodded with satisfaction.

He first put the spirit stone into the storage bag he carried with him, and then continued:

"The five materials that you are looking for are all very precious. The forces that possess them are also among the most powerful forces in Zuzhou."

"How does it compare to the Jiushi Sect?"

Facing Xu Zhiyu's questioning, Si Liang just smiled and shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning he revealed was very obvious. Compared with the other party, Jiu Shizong was obviously not on the same level.

"Okay, then just tell me the names of these forces and how to trade with them."

“Senior, three of these five materials are owned by a large force called Xuantian Ice Palace, whose sect is located in the extreme north of the Northern Continent of Zuzhou.

The other two materials are in the hands of two other major forces, one of which is the Jade Buddha Sect in the Western Continent, and the other is the Tiangang Dao Sect in the Central Continent."

Xu Zhiyu had never heard of the first two forces that Si Liang mentioned, but he had learned about the last one, Tiangang Dao Sect, from the jade slips in the Sutra Library of Taiyang Tower.

It is reported that the Tiangang Dao Sect is quite powerful. Just looking at the ranking, it is enough to rank in the top five in the entire Zuzhou. There are more than twenty Jindan cultivators in the sect.

However, when he heard that the five materials he needed were distributed in three different regions, he felt a little troubled and didn't know how to exchange these things.

In fact, sometimes he also thought that it would be better to refine a medium-level natal magic weapon. There was no need to spend time and effort to refine the highest-level natal magic weapon.

However, whenever this thought came to his mind, he would force himself to dispel it.

It was because the effect of this top-grade life-saving magic weapon was so incredible that he tried every possible way to refine it.

The greatest function of this natal magic weapon made of thirty-six kinds of top-grade materials is to resist thunder tribulations, no matter whether it is the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation or the God Transformation thunder tribulation.

As everyone knows, starting from the Jindan realm, every time the cultivators break through a major realm, they have to endure the test of thunder tribulation. If they can survive, their cultivation will be greatly improved, but if they cannot, they will die.

The Jindan stage suffers from thirty-nine thunder tribulations, the Yuanying stage suffers from forty-nine thunder tribulations, and as for the Shenhua stage, it is the legendary fifty-nine thunder tribulations. The power of each level of thunder is enough to destroy the heaven and the earth.

If there is no good magic weapon to resist heavenly thunder and help reduce the power of thunder tribulations, it is simply a pipe dream to want to survive these thunder tribulations which are more powerful than the last.

Moreover, the power of this life-saving magic weapon is not limited to this. He can also lend it to other cultivators to resist thunder tribulations. This effect is extremely amazing.

There are many cultivators who died in thunder tribulations after breaking through. I think the same will be true for the cultivators of the Xu family in the future.

Therefore, with this life-saving magic weapon in hand, at least before he leaves this world, the Xu family members will not have to worry about the heavenly tribulation when they break through.

This is clearly recorded in the "Yin Yang Thunder Control Art", the founding technique of the Shenxiao Palace, and it has been verified and is absolutely true.

According to records, there are a total of three such magic weapons in the Shenxiao Palace, which are provided to the monks in the sect to resist heavenly calamities. It is also stipulated that one can only apply to borrow them after breaking through to the Nascent Soul and God Transformation stages.

As for dealing with the golden elixir thunder tribulation, I'm sorry, you have to figure it out yourself. If the disciples of the Shenxiao Palace can't even withstand this kind of thunder tribulation, then if they die, they die, there is nothing to regret.

His thoughts turned back to the past, and he began to inquire about how to exchange these materials.

"There are two ways. If you don't mind the trouble and have enough time, it would be best if you can personally visit the three forces' bases. I will give you a token and you can take it to exchange it."

"Is this possible?"

Xu Zhiyu was obviously somewhat averse to this time-consuming and laborious method, and asked with a frown.

"Of course it's feasible. To be honest, when these big forces have spiritual objects that need to be exchanged, they will contact our Qianji Pavilion to help find buyers.

It just so happens that the five spiritual objects that the senior needs are all entrusted by them for exchange, so you only need to take the token and hand over the spiritual objects they need, and they will give you the spiritual objects that the senior needs according to the agreement. "

It sounds good, but he still said unsatisfactorily:

"Is there no simpler way? It doesn't seem worthwhile to have me travel across half of the continent just to search for five kinds of materials."

“There is an easy way, but that comes at a different price.”

Si Liang stared at him with a burning gaze and tapped his fingers on the table. The meaning was obvious: he had to pay more.

"Greedy ghost, let's see how much you want!"

Xu Zhiyu complained in his heart, took out 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones from his storage ring, and asked:

"So what's the exact price?"

Seeing him take out so many spirit stones without changing his expression, Si Liang had a preliminary recognition of his financial resources, and then stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones? Okay, I'll give it to you."

Xu Zhiyu took ten thousand spirit stones from a pile of spirit stones and piled them behind Si Liang.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of the space channel?"

“Of course I’ve heard of it. The teleportation array we usually take involves simple spatial power.

As for the space channel, it can only be opened by a Divine Transformation Master, and it is extremely unstable and may collapse at any time. "

"Now that you know, it's easy to deal with. In order to facilitate the exchange of materials, the top powers have opened up a special and stable space channel above Zuzhou with the help of dozens of great cultivators in the late stage of transformation.

There are dozens of teleportation arrays leading to different forces, which can be used for the transaction of spiritual objects and for communication with each other. It is very convenient and fast.

The second method I mentioned is this. We in Qianji Tower can provide you with a one-time key to the space channel. You just need to crush it and you will naturally come out of this space channel.

Then you can communicate with the cultivators from Xuantian Ice Palace, Jade Buddha Sect, and Tiangang Dao Sect who are guarding the other side of the formation."

After listening to Si Liang's explanation, Xu Zhiyu couldn't help but silently praise the cultivators in this world of immortal cultivation. How could they be so wise to come up with such a brilliant idea?

However, he still had many questions about this relatively new form of exchange.

"This method of exchange is indeed convenient, but how can we ensure the safety of the transaction between the two parties? I am only interested in exchanging materials, but I don't want to deal with these powerful monks. I believe you can understand this!"

"I understand, but the problem you are worried about was naturally considered by the ancestors who created the space channel. In order to ensure the personal safety of the monks entering it, the teleportation arrays leading to the major forces can only teleport spiritual objects, not people. So you don't have to worry about the other party falling from the sky to cause trouble for you after the exchange is completed."

Xu Zhiyu was not satisfied with this explanation, and he continued to ask:

"What if, while I'm trading with the other party, the top leaders of that big power also use the key you mentioned and appear in the space channel?
In this way, my personal safety cannot be guaranteed either!"

“The senior asked a better question about this. This space passageway cannot be entered by cultivators at Yuanying or above. It can only accommodate false-infant cultivators at best. The cultivators who can enter must be at least at the first level of Jindan.

The gap between the two is within a large realm. Even if the opponent finds you, it cannot cause harm to you instantly. There is enough reaction time for you to leave the space channel instantly and then be randomly teleported to an unknown location.

Besides, the major forces have reached an agreement that fighting is absolutely not allowed in the space channel, otherwise both parties will be severely punished. "

In this way, security is guaranteed, but transaction security is still not sufficient.

"What if I send the spiritual object that the other party needs to me, but the other party is unwilling to fulfill his promise and does not want to give me the material I need?"

Why do you have so many questions? Why do you have so much nonsense? Si Liang's mouth was dry after answering, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, then he picked up the teacup on the table and started drinking the spiritual tea.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyu smiled slightly. "Do you think my spirit stone is so easy to get? I won't give up until I get the truth today."

“Senior, there is no need to worry about this. Generally speaking, big forces are concerned about their reputation. They will even send the spiritual objects you need to you for inspection first. Once you are satisfied, they will send the spiritual objects they need to them.

Even if there is a force that has no shame and wants to default on its debt, you can come to me again and I will leave you a communication tool.

I will report this to my superiors at that time, and naturally someone with enough influence will come forward to help you recover your losses."

Afterwards, Xu Zhiyu asked several more difficult questions and got the answers he wanted.

Only then did he contentedly take a small jade key from Si Liang and escort him out of the inn.

After thinking about it, he decided not to immediately set out to trade in the space channel. This was a chance he only had to make good use of.

Just now, Si Liang said before he left that one key can only enter once. If you enter and leave without reaching an agreement, you will have to spend money to buy another key if you want to enter again. One key costs ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

He first counted the spiritual objects he had that could be used to exchange for materials. The only ones he could use at the moment were the spiritual herbs he had picked from the forbidden space.

The last time he entered the space to take out the Five Lakes Gang's golden elixir, he picked more than 30 plants by the way. After arriving in Zuzhou, he spent a lot of spirit stones and bought a book of all medicines from a large spiritual medicine shop.

All kinds of spiritual medicines from level one to level six are recorded here, and even some that have been lost in ancient times have some descriptions. It can be said that this list basically covers 99% of the spiritual medicines in the mortal world of immortal cultivation.

Referring to the atlas of all medicines, he compared the more than 40 spiritual medicines in his hand one by one. In the end, he found that most of these spiritual medicines were of the sixth level, and there were less than ten of the fifth level. With these spiritual medicines, it was still very likely that he could exchange them for the materials he wanted.

After confirming everything, Xu Zhiyu walked out of the inn, came to the corner of the street, and gently crushed the key.

The dizzy feeling in his mind came again, the amulet swayed gently, bits of energy spilled out, and in an instant he recovered as before.

I opened my eyes and looked around, only to find myself in a gray area.

There seems to be no difference between up and down, left and right, front and back here. The whole person is sometimes facing forward, sometimes facing backward, sometimes upside down, and sometimes upside down again.

Just like that, after a few breaths, a huge square suddenly appeared in front of him, standing quietly in the void.

Xu Zhiyu understood that this should be the place of exchange that Si Liang mentioned.

He thought about it and instantly appeared at the edge of the square. Only when his feet stepped on solid ground did he feel a little more at ease.

Looking up, the square was divided into more than fifty areas. Each area had a giant teleportation array, and the area it covered was comparable to that of the Jiushi Sect.

Above each teleportation array, there is a huge, glowing plaque, indicating which force it belongs to.

He walked and stopped for a long time before he found the first force he wanted to exchange with - the Jade Buddha Sect.

Following Si Liang's instructions, he first stood in front of the Jade Buddha Sect's teleportation array, then placed his hand on the edge of the array and began to transmit his voice:

"Is the master of the Jade Buddha Sect here? Sorry to bother you, Xu."

Soon after he transmitted the message, he heard the other party's response in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Amitabha, fellow Taoist, I am the monk who guards the teleportation formation of the Jade Buddha Sect. I wonder if there is anything you would like to exchange?"

"I want to exchange for a golden elixir relic from a Buddhist master who passed away, preferably one of the fourth-grade top quality."

"So what do you plan to exchange for it?"

"How about a top-grade spirit stone?"

"No, the abbot has said that the relics of the great monks who passed away are the supreme treasures of our Buddhist sect and cannot be measured by spiritual stones."

It sounds good, but you guys still took it out to exchange it, didn't you?
"Master, I have a fifth-grade, mid-quality demon-subduing lotus root here. I wonder what grade of great virtue relic I can exchange it for?"

"..."

The other party did not respond for a moment, as if he was considering something. A quarter of an hour later, the voice transmission sounded again.

"Your elixir can be exchanged for a golden elixir relic of our sect's fake infant cultivator. What do you think?"

Now the situation has changed, Xu Zhiyu directly raised the price:
"Master, the price you offer is a bit low. How about adding another 300 high-grade spirit stones?"

"Great, great, deal."

After checking the relics sent by the other party and confirming that they were correct, he took out the demon-subduing lotus root from his storage ring and sent it over.

The first transaction was successfully completed.

Then he came to the second sect, Tiangang Dao Sect's teleportation array, and after spending some time, he successfully exchanged the materials. (End of this chapter)
