Do not die

Faced with a heavy blow from Mu Hanyu with a gun and a stick, Patriarch Mingnan's anger was beyond words.

In addition to anger, he also had a chill that went deep into his bones.

We are all ancestor-level figures. Although the five sects have been close to each other since the first day of contact, there are all kinds of undercurrent struggles hidden under the surface, but at their level, they still have some friendship with each other.

But now, Mu Hanyu didn't care about the old friendship at all, and stood completely next to a person who had only met him once or twice, confronting him tit for tat.

He would not think about it. Although he and Mu Hanyu had known each other for more than a hundred years, they were just acquaintances. They did not have much exchange of interests or in-depth contacts. They were just acquaintances. Everyone maintained that It's just superficial harmony.

Although her acquaintance with "Qi Huangzi" was short, it was the friendship that truly brought her back from the edge of life and death.

Such a difference cannot be measured over a period of time.

But at this moment, Patriarch Mingnan couldn't think about this rationally in his mind. He just thought sadly that he was still him, and his cultivation level was still the same. Ancestor, in the eyes of others, is not an ancestor at all.

"What ancestor? He's just a lonely ghost with no fixed abode."

He came in an aggressive manner, trying to create a head start.

This is actually a step down from the previous level.

The more he behaves like this, the more he reveals the "weakness" deep in his heart.

This is another form of bravado and self-emboldening.

Going back a few years, how could he need such a method?

Now, the appearance of Yin Youyi and Mu Hanyu and their attitudes gave him a heavy blow.

Facing Mu Hanyu's merciless counterattack and ridicule, the angry Ancestor Mingnan's expression slowly became gloomy.

"Fellow Taoist, you are not here just to have two cups of spiritual tea from me, right?"

"Qihuangzi" awakened the Mingnan ancestor who fell into silence again.

Ancestor Mingnan raised his head and looked at "Qihuangzi". After a while, he shook his head and chuckled:

"We are already sitting face to face, so don't say such hypocritical words, right?

Just be quick... What do you mean by being so aggressive and pressing every step of the way? "

"Qihuangzi" stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Would you like it more simply? Okay, I'll do it more simply."

"My purpose is very simple. I hope that all professionals in the Spirit Controlling Army, including you, can join the Professionals Association."

Ancestor Mingnan stared at "Qihuangzi", unmoved, and said: "What I want to know is the real reason!"

At the beginning, "Qihuangzi" faced more than twenty third-level professionals in the Professionals Association and clearly stated his intention to draw the professionals in the Spirit Control Army into the Professionals Association.

He himself did not issue a silence order at all. What's more, there are so many people who have access to first-hand information. In addition, due to the characteristics of the Professional Association itself, while they are members of the association, they also have other forces and interests, and the ingredients are complex. Very.

It was impossible to hide this news.

Not even a month has passed, but this "purpose" has basically spread among the middle and high-level circles of Qingxuan Domain and has become a secret.

Everyone also knows that this time the Professionals Association deliberately differed from the Spirit Controlling Army in the spirit puppet exchange, and there is such a deeper meaning.

Although the main range of activities of the Spirit Control Army is within the three third-level evil veins, they are not wood.

What's more, how could they remain indifferent to such tit-for-tat moves by the Professionals Association under the leadership of its new president?

Long before this "secret" spread to the entire Qingxuan Territory, the entire Lingyu Army already knew the "purpose" that "Qihuangzi" took the initiative to reveal.

But everyone from the young qi-training monks to the ancestor Mingnan didn’t believe it.

As their understanding of the Professionals Association deepened, Yulingjun Shangxiajiu became more and more disbelieving in this rhetoric.

"This can't be true. It's just a pebble that was actively thrown out to attract attention."

"In order to hide its true intention further behind."

With this idea in mind, all the senior leaders of the Spirit Control Army, including Ancestor Mingnan, were thinking hard, trying to find the reason hidden behind it.

Unfortunately, time passes day by day without any useful discoveries.

Correspondingly, as time goes by, more and more people are enjoying the benefits of the regulation of demon beasts changing into soul puppets. Without everyone paying special attention to it, the Professionals Association has become silent. Completed "penetration".

Ancestor Mingnan suddenly realized this because of a battle that occurred deep in the Wumeng Sea not long ago.

Originally, with the exception of Tianqi Mountain, the Lingyu Army's strategy in Wumenghai and Kurosawahara was mainly defensive.

But not long ago, a fierce naval battle occurred deep in the Wumeng Sea, but this policy was quietly reversed.

The reason is that the seven Spirit Controlling Army Formation Pills and the three Qingxuan Sect Formation Pills that participated in the battle at the time, at the cost of the self-destruction of fourteen great demon spirit puppets, ended up leaving twenty-three great demon-level sea beasts permanently. That sea area.

The fourteen big demon spirit puppets that self-destructed have a unified characteristic. They were all purchased from the Wucailing Professionals Association military merit exchange point with a dozen third-level low-grade big demon corpses and a larger number of second-level monsters. The corpse was exchanged for it.

Although the fourteen big demon spirit puppets that self-destructed were all of the third-order low-grade quality, they were all the best among the third-order low-grade ones.

What's more, it is spiritually stable, and there is a wonderful fit between different demon spirits.

This is very unusual, which often means that these big demon spirit puppets come from the same person - of course, this is impossible. With such a large shipment, one person cannot refine it even if he is tired and vomits blood.

"Students who live together day and night can indeed achieve such effects if they use some special techniques."

With the Spirit Controlling Army monks' extensive knowledge in this area, they quickly found a new reason.

However, this is not what they really care about.

What they really care about is that spiritual puppets with this characteristic are very suitable as special formation base materials.

That naval battle was able to achieve such great results not only because the fourteen big demon spirit puppets self-destructed, but also because they self-destructed in a methodical and prepared manner.

Before self-destruction, they were moving at high speed, forming a powerful formation that echoed the entire Qi machine.

The timing and location of the self-destruction were all impeccable.

The power of the self-destruction of the fourteen big demon spirit puppets is superimposed layer by layer, erupting at the most lethal position, causing horrific critical damage to a group of big demon-level sea beasts.

Why wasn't this done before?

First, I was reluctant to part with it, and I really didn’t have the capital.

It's only now possible that there's a cheaper way to get it.

Because they have the characteristic emotions of the Professionals Association and these big demon spirit puppets that they did not refine with their own hands, they will not be so sentimental as to attach some meaningless emotions. They can be calmer, more rational, and start from pure investment and Examine and think from the perspective of output.

Of course, another reason is that these big demon spirit puppets are in harmony with each other, which has a huge bonus to the success rate of large-scale formations and the superposition of the power of self-destruction.

The combination of various factors gave rise to such a brand-new attempt at tactics.

This great victory made all the monks involved feel ecstatic.

Fourteen big demon spirit puppets were exchanged for twenty-three severely damaged sea monster demons.

At first glance, it seems like a loss.

But you must know that the fourteen big demon spirit puppets that self-destructed were all third-order low-grade. And of the twenty-three sea beast big demons they harvested, only half of them were third-order low-grade. There were also many third-order mid-grade. As well as two third-order top-grade ones.

Make a lot of money.

Because of the inspiration from this battle, a new idea came into their minds.

"Such a strategy should be implemented as soon as possible."

"It would be great if the Professionals Association could open the exchange for third-level mid-grade spiritual puppets."

After winning, they couldn't wait to share the successful experience of this battle and some other ideas with Ancestor Mingnan.

But after Mingnan Patriarch heard this, he was not happy at all, but his expression changed drastically.

Because he always only cares about the general direction, he almost never asks about such specific tasks and specific tactics.

Before that, he had no idea that the spirit puppets of the Professionals Association had "infiltrated" them so deeply.

He immediately thought in his mind: "We can't wait any longer!"

"We must go to a showdown with Naki Huangzi!"

Others are eager to give it a try and want to exchange for more third-level low-grade big demon spirit puppets so that they can set off "big firecrackers" in places like Wumenghai and Kurosawahara.

They even wish that the Professionals Association would be kind enough to launch a higher-quality monster-beast soul-changing puppet business.

If they could use this method to exchange for a third-level high-grade demon spirit puppet from the Professionals Association, no one would refuse.

If you don't make such a bargain, you will be struck by thunder from heaven.

As for not dealing with the professional association?

We are shedding wool here!

You don’t gather it, I don’t gather it, but there is always someone to gather it.

But Patriarch Mingnan was only surprised by this, not happy.

A picture immediately emerged in his mind.

With the beast master and puppet master as its left and right legs, and the spirit master as its driving core, the spirit master army will gradually give up the idea of ​​​​doing it on its own from now on.

——Doing it yourself is not only laborious, but also time-consuming. Facing the seemingly unreachable road, every practitioner's time and energy are never enough.

As a result, after a lot of time and effort, I compared my work with the finished product exchanged from the Professionals Association, and I collapsed.

Not only wasted time and energy, but also consumed more materials, the quality of the finished product was actually not as good as the exchanged product.

Then why do you do anything? Wouldn’t it be nice to exchange it directly? !

Use the extra time and energy on practice, and exchange the saved materials for more practice resources... wouldn't it be nice? !

If it really develops like this, Ancestor Mingnan realizes that he himself has no position to stop it.

If he really wants to do this, it is likely that the spirit-controlling army that is barely held together will disperse faster.

Becoming a professional and a powerful spiritual master has never been a practitioner's first pursuit.

Never!

But he couldn't just watch the situation evolve like this step by step.

He no longer secretly observed, did not continue to wait, he wanted to come directly to showdown with "Qihuangzi" before the situation continued to evolve.

Because he had already discovered the subtle influence of "Qihuangzi"'s vicious hands on the Ling Yu Army, and he did not think of a good solution, he came this time with no confidence and a false sense of purpose.

But it is precisely for this reason that he is so menacing and aggressive.

However, such a gesture had already been extinguished by Mu Hanyu who suddenly jumped out before "Qihuangzi" himself could be stung.

…

"The real reason?"

"Qihuangzi" repeated in a strange tone, with his hands on his chest, his upper body slightly tilted back, and he stared at the ancestor Mingnan carefully, as if he wanted to get to know him again.

Ancestor Mingnan frowned in displeasure.

He felt severely offended.

Although "Qihuangzi" didn't do anything offensive, the tone of his words, the changes in his expression, and his gestures all made him feel severely humiliated.

"Is there anything wrong? Or does it mean that Fellow Daoist Qi has lost the ability to obey normally?"

Ancestor Mingnan said bluntly.

He is here today to have a showdown with the other party, to open the skylight and speak frankly.

Instead of going around and around playing guessing games with each other, he doesn't have the leisure to do so.

"Qihuangzi" looked determined and said angrily:

“You’re the one who can’t understand people’s words, right?!

Didn't I make it clear enough? "

Having said this, he put aside Patriarch Mingnan and looked at Yin Youyi and Mu Hanyu who were silently drinking tea and watching a show next to him, shook his head and sighed:

"What do you think is wrong with this world?

No one believed the truth that was clearly in front of them and turned a blind eye.

I want to think hard about what conspiracy is hidden behind it.

Not only does it embarrass yourself, but it also embarrasses others! "

“If communication between people is already so difficult, what’s the point of still communicating?

Everyone pretends to be wild beasts and just yells at each other randomly! "

Yin Youyi, who was drinking tea, choked out after hearing this, and Mu Hanyu couldn't help but laugh.

Ancestor Mingnan, who had a bad temper and always kept his temper, almost burst his lungs when he heard these words.

He slapped the table hard and stood up suddenly, his beard and hair spread out, his eyes wide open and staring at "Qihuangzi".

"Okay, this is what you said! I will ask all my professionals to join the Professionals Association now. Don't go back on your word!"

"Qihuangzi" said: "It's too late to welcome you."

After saying that, he also stood up, looked at Ancestor Mingnan, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Then...welcome!"

His reaction made Ancestor Mingnan narrow his eyes slightly and stare at "Qihuangzi". After a moment, he slowly said:

"I heard that fellow Daoist Qi is a master of many realms. I wonder what your attainments are as a spirit master?"

"Qihuangzi" said: "Third-level high-grade, there are still one or two steps away from the third-level limit."

Ancestor Mingnan said with a smile: "Then according to the rules of the Professionals Association, shouldn't you give up your position as president to me?"

"Qihuangzi" shook his head and said:

"It's good that fellow Taoists have such enterprising spirit. I, the president, am also very pleased that I can carefully understand the rules of the association before joining the association.

However, your understanding is still one-sided, and you cannot just look at the aspects that are good for you.

If this were the case, and everyone was qualified to be the president, wouldn't it be chaos in the world? "

Ancestor Mingnan said: "But I have already reached the limit of level three in Yulingling. Unless you have a profession that reaches level four, there is no reason to say that you will win, right?"

"Do you have a profession that reaches level four?"

"No." "Qihuangzi" admitted honestly.

Each level of improvement is a huge leap.

The transformation from the third level to the fourth level is far more obvious than from the first level to the second level, and from the second level to the third level.

In other words, the farther you go on the road to the great road, the more amazing this level improvement becomes.

That's not something you can fool around with.

Even if you randomly point at an unfamiliar profession that everyone is not familiar with, as long as you show your hands, as a person who has reached their level of cultivation, it is easy to judge whether this is a third-level power or a fourth-level power.

"But I am also at the third-level limit in Medicine Master, and everyone is the same. You can't let me make room for you, right?" "Qihuangzi" said.

Yin Youyi and Mu Hanyu beside him couldn't help but frown slightly. They both felt weak from this seemingly powerful response. (End of chapter)
