The Mortal's Path to Immortality

This sect war was the biggest battle in the southwest cultivation world of Yunzhou in the past hundred years.

Yunshui Sect had more than a hundred Qi Refining disciples killed or injured, and two foundation building elders died in the battle.

Because Cao Rui occupied the Qingling Xiuxianfang in advance, he could rest and heal nearby, and the number of Qi Refining disciples killed or injured in the Spirit Beast Sect was less than half, and the sect's foundation building elder Feng Yunfan died in the battle.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Gu Qingying had a battle more than two years ago.

Last time, Gu Qingying lost.

This time, Gu Qingying still lost.

Whether from the perspective of the sect or the individual, Yunshui Sect and Gu Qingying were defeated miserably.

This time, the battle for the spirit stone vein was a life-and-death battle that concerned the survival of the sect.

Since the outcome has been decided.

After Gu Qingying calmed down, she had to choose to make peace.

Fighting again would only give other forces an opportunity.

With the news of peace talks brought by the foundation-building elders of Yunshui Sect.

The two sides quickly formed the first round of negotiations on the same day.

The sect leaders who participated in the negotiations chose the middle position of the two sides and sat down to discuss the solution to the matter.

At dusk.

In an open space between the two formations.

A long table was set up, and the high-level monks of the two sects sat down one by one.

As a sect leader, Cao Rui also participated in this first negotiation and sat at the end.

Opposite him happened to be Master Jin Guang of Yunshui Sect, who had fought before, and the two stared at each other.

Fortunately, the negotiations started soon.

Cao Rui finally knew why Lu Xiaoxiao asked the head of the Talisman Making Institute, Wei Yi, to come out for negotiations.

This uncle is really bold.

He said that the excavation of the spirit stone mine by Yunshui Sect was stolen spirit stone mine.

In addition, Han Yuansheng’s death should be attributed to Yunshui Sect.

Wang Yi proposed that Qingling Xiuxianfang would pay compensation to the Spirit Beast Sect as compensation.

In addition, another 30,000 spirit stones must be paid as compensation for defeat.

As for the spirit stone mine, it originally belonged to the Spirit Beast Sect. It was wrong not to hold Yunshui Sect responsible for stealing it. Naturally, it also belongs to the Spirit Beast Sect.

After listening to Wang Yi's speech.

Gu Qingying went crazy on the spot and threatened to have another high-level decisive battle with the Spirit Beast Sect.

Fortunately, Zhao He, a great elder of Yunshui Sect, stopped Gu Qingying.

Zhao He is the representative of Yunshui Sect in the negotiations here. This old man is quite old and experienced.

He knows that if he fights again, Yunshui Sect will not get any advantage.

The sect is weak now, and the large forces must hurry back quickly, otherwise it will be even worse if the demon cultivators take the opportunity to cause chaos.

Zhao He refuted Yi slowly and methodically.

He emphasized the cost of building the Qingling Xiuxianfang, the value of the large spirit gathering array, and most importantly, the construction of the fang was not concealed, and the Spirit Beast Sect knew about it.

As for the spirit stone mine, it is located on the border of the two countries. If the Spirit Beast Sect is his, then it is his.

Zhao He also invited a foundation-building master from Miaoyin Temple to the scene to witness it.

This master was the third VIP who had competed with Cao Rui at the auction and bought the new pill.

Cao Rui only knew his identity at this time. He was a foundation-building master of Miaoyin Temple, with the Dharma name Zhiyuan. He had the fifth level of foundation-building cultivation and was quite powerful.

When the two sects fought, Zhiyuan hid around the battlefield to check the strength of the two sects.

At this time, he had a clear understanding of the strength of the two sects.

The Spirit Beast Sect was so powerful that it should be suppressed.

Zhiyuan's trip was instructed by Miaoyin Temple to help Yunshui Sect gain more benefits.

As for the Spirit Beast Sect, they naturally couldn't really ignore Zhiyuan.

They were not afraid of him as a foundation-building sect, but the Spirit Beast Sect had to consider the reaction of Miaoyin Temple behind Zhiyuan.

In the history of southwest Yunzhou, those who were attacked by the other two major sects would have a good situation.

The mutual constraints between the three major sects were also one of the reasons why southwest Yunzhou was relatively peaceful.

Zhiyuan's participation in this meeting has already shown Miaoyin Temple's willingness to participate in it.

After Zhiyuan appeared, Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaoxiao, who was watching his nose and heart in the middle.

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.

Wang Yi compromised in his tone: "Then tell me, how should we distribute it reasonably?"

Zhao He coughed dryly and said: "Qingling Xiuxianfang was established by you with great efforts, and you must return part of the profits to the Fang. From now on, the management rights of the Fang will be divided 50-50. How about it?"

"Here is the spiritual stone vein, the disciples responsible for mining will each pay half, and the spiritual stone output will be yours, and you four."

"Bang!" Wang Yi slapped the table, "Bullshit, if you distribute it according to your words, this will become your Yunshui Sect Did you beat us?"

Gu Qingying stood up suddenly, and the powerful aura of the late foundation building locked onto Dong Yi: "You better be polite when you speak!"

Lu Xiaoxiao blocked Gu Qingying's aura silently, "Mrs. Gu, you are so hot-tempered even though you have so many years."

"Lu Xiaoxiao, dare you be rude to our sect? !"

"What's wrong with being rude? You are just defeated by our sect!"

"......"

After another round of fierce head-to-head scolding, the two sat down again with difficulty to start negotiations.

Cao Rui felt that negotiation was more tiring than fighting.

The first round of negotiations naturally did not produce any results.

The second round of negotiations started the next morning, but there was no result either.

During the period, Feng Qiwu, the head of the Spiritual Beast Academy, and an elder of the Yunshui Sect scolded too fiercely, and fought in the air.

Feng Qiwu was slightly better with his family magic, which boosted the spirit beast sect's momentum.

It was not until the fifth round of negotiations on the third day that Yunshui Sect finally started to lose.

The spirit beast sect had the beast ancestor in charge, which was as stable as a river, while Yunshui Sect did not have a Jindan-stage ancestor in charge.

As the loser, Yunshui Sect made a big concession.

First: Qingling Xiuxianfang will be owned by the spirit beast sect, but Yunshui Sect disciples have the right to enter Qingling Xiuxianfang to trade and enjoy VIP treatment.

Second: For the spirit stone veins, the management personnel will be provided by the spirit beast sect, who will be responsible for safety at the same time; the excavation disciples will be provided by Yunshui Sect.

Of the excavated spirit stones, the spirit beast sect will occupy 10%, and Yunshui Sect will occupy 20%.

Third: As the loser, Yunshui Sect will pay a one-time compensation of 10,000 spirit stones to the spirit beast sect.

If the third clause is fulfilled, then the share of the second clause of Yunshui Sect will be reduced to 10%, which is the bottom line of Lingshou Sect.

This spiritual stone mine has at least 1 million spiritual stones, and 10% is 10,000 spiritual stones.

The 10,000 spiritual stones compensated in the third clause are more meaningful for Lingshou Sect to save face.

As for Yunshui Sect, since they have already lost, Gu Qingying is not willing to admit defeat.

Therefore, for the sake of practical interests, the third clause was also agreed with a pinch of the nose.

At this point, the negotiation ended.

Yunshui Sect paid 10,000 spiritual stones on the spot, and the large force boarded the spirit ship and set off to return to the sect.

On the Lingshou Sect side, the Qingling Xiuxianfang and the spiritual stone mine were properly arranged, and the large force returned a day later.

Because Cao Rui was researching new pills, he volunteered to stay in Qingling Xiuxianfang and serve as the first keeper.

As for the affairs of the Alchemy Institute, Cao Rui sent Heiyu back to the sect every once in a while to handle them.

The two deacons could also properly handle ordinary minor matters.

Lu Xiaoxiao agreed to Cao Rui's request, handed the small array plate back to Cao Rui, and sent two true disciples and more than 10 inner disciples to assist Cao Rui in handling the daily affairs of the fang.

Among the two true disciples, one was Feng Qingyun, the best of the 102nd generation disciples, and the other was Zhang Mo, the 101st generation who was rescued by Cao Rui and had the cultivation level of the first level of Qi Refining.

As for the spiritual stone vein, Ye Yunyin, who was in the foundation-building period, and a group of disciples were arranged to be in charge.

Qingling Xiuxianfang and the spiritual mine were only a hundred miles apart.

On a daily basis, Ye Yunyin, who is in charge of the spiritual mine, and Cao Rui from the workshop can also rely on each other.
