Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 176 Ji Qiu comes forward, Qingfeng Sect’s conditions

Wen Chunfeng was shocked for a reason.

In the Great Ling Dynasty, there are only six weapon refiners in total who can refine heavenly magic weapons.

Among them, Song Zhili of the Song family was the most talented. When 860 was four years old, he refined the first heavenly magic weapon.

Ji Qiu is not yet 25 years old!
This talent is so outrageous that Emperor Daling has never seen it before!

Ji Qiu shook his head and said, "It's just an attempt, and there is still some distance from success."

Wen Chunfeng's shock subsided and his face became excited: "How long will it take to refine a heavenly magic weapon?"

Ji Qiu considered it and said: "If you are lucky, it will be within a year. If you are not lucky, it will take about five years."

"However, the refining of heavenly magic weapons is closely related to the Dao. The success rate depends not only on the level of the refiner, but also on the resonance with the Dao."

"Even if I master the method of refining the Tianpin magic weapon, the success rate will not be too high."

Probably a quarter.

Ji Qiu added something in his heart, but he didn't mention the success rate.

After all, according to what Wenren Hongxiu said, the success rate of the six masters of refining the heavenly magic weapon is only one-twentieth.

Wen Chunfeng rubbed his hands excitedly: "Okay, I'll prepare the materials for you now."

"If you need anything else, just tell me directly."

"The imperial court is going to have its own weapon-refining master..."

I heard that everyone's cultivation talents are excellent, but their talents in other skills are a mess.

Refining weapons, refining elixirs, making talismans, searching for spiritual veins... none of them.

The refining of heavenly instruments depends on the clan, which is one of the reasons why the clan is so powerful.

If Ji Qiu could refine the heavenly magic weapon and solve the problems caused by the clan, there would be much less problems.

Wen Chunfeng couldn't wait to leave, and after half an hour, he rushed back.

He threw a storage bag to Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu caught the storage bag and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.

He prepared four copies of the materials he needed.

There are also many weapons-refining books inside.

"These books are specially approved by His Majesty for you to read."

"Practice well."

Ji Qiu said seriously: "If the refining can be successful, I will give priority to the heavenly magic weapon for use by the monks in the imperial court."

The main reason why he was in a hurry to refine the Heavenly Grade Magical Artifact was to enhance his combat power in this expedition to Wandaozhou.

Wen Chunfeng patted Ji Qiu's shoulder happily.

He knew that Ji Qiu did not like restraint, so he did not ask Ji Qiu to provide the heavenly artifact to the court first.

Ji Qiu took the initiative to mention it, and he was very happy.

"You practice, I will find a way to solve the Daomeng matter."

"Qian Tongxian has seen your personnel transfer and has agreed to go to war."

After Wen Chunfeng finished speaking, he left angrily.

The military cultivators controlled by the Third Division and the royal family were the main force in the war.

Qian Tongxian agreed to go to war, and the opinions within the court were basically unified.

After solving the hidden dangers of the Dao Alliance, we can start the war directly!
Ji Qiu took a deep breath, entered Shanyu's secret realm, and began to retreat to refine weapons.

Two months passed quickly.

The refining of a heavenly magic weapon takes a month.

Ji Qiu read the book given by Wen Chunfeng and gained a lot of insights, but both attempts ultimately failed.

The situation on His Majesty's side is not optimistic either.

The Taoist League and the imperial court had long-standing grievances, and it was difficult to improve relations.

Moreover, the Hejian Sect also sabotaged it, making the progress of the negotiations extremely slow.

Every few days, Ji Qiu would ask Zhou Yusha about the internal trends of the Taoist Alliance.

Zhou Yusha inquired in many ways and provided Ji Qiu with a lot of information.

But not much useful news.

She didn't have access to the higher-ups of Qingfeng Sect and could only hear some rumors.

The main value of this information is to allow Ji Qiu to speculate on the leader's attitude.

Although the communication was not smooth, Qingfeng Sect would actually send someone to talk every time.

After a long time, Xianzong must have known about this, but there was no reaction.

The leader, Zhou Tian, ​​did not seem to object to the cooperation between the Taoist League and the imperial court.

Ji Qiu also considered whether the leader wanted to wait for the Qingfeng Sect to join forces with the court before liquidating the Qingfeng Sect.

But if you think about it carefully, it's unlikely.

Once the three traditional sects fell to the imperial court, there would be far more Mahayana monks in the imperial court than there would be Taoist alliances.

In a fight, the imperial court would have the upper hand.

After thinking about it again and again, Ji Qiu still couldn't understand what such a big shot was thinking.

Another two months passed.

Ji Qiu harvested a crop of fairy seeds and asked Wen Chunfeng for three thousand acres of spiritual land to complete this season's sowing.

This time, Ji Qiu plans to let Bangbang absorb three thousand fairy seeds.

See how far it can grow.

As soon as the sowing was finished, Wen Chunfeng ran over.

"We can't negotiate." He said the bad news with a dark face as soon as he came.

Ji Qiu asked: "Has Qingfeng Sect set a price?"

Wen Chunfeng shook his head helplessly: "We didn't talk about that step at all."

Ji Qiu was a little surprised: "Then what have you talked about in the past four months?"

During the four months he spent in seclusion, the overall situation of the Daling Chao was stable.

In order not to disturb him, Wen Chunfeng did not elaborate on the communication between the imperial court and Qingfeng Sect.

Ji Qiu was completely unaware of the progress of the negotiations, and was actually a little surprised that they had not talked about serious matters for four months.

Wen Chunfeng sighed: "I'm settling old scores."

"Every time we meet, after basically saluting and saying a few words, we start to calculate the conflicts between the imperial court and Qingfeng Sect over the years."

"There are too many conflicts and differences. When we see each other, we get angry and we really can't talk anymore."

"If we don't cooperate with Daomeng, can't we fight directly? Your Majesty doesn't want to talk about it anymore."

Ji Qiu's face was solemn, and he stated the pros and cons: "If we don't solve the problem at the rear, there will always be a hidden danger of the Taoist alliance cooperating with the evil cultivator."

"This situation may not happen, but if it does, it will be a disaster that will destroy the dynasty."

"I would rather eliminate the hidden dangers before taking action. I would also like to ask senior to advise Your Majesty to be more patient."

Wen Chunfeng frowned: "Your Majesty is patient, but there is no progress at all in four months, so we can't keep delaying it."

Ji Qiu thought for a moment and said, "How about I give it a try."

Wen Chunfeng had some unbearable expression on his face: "Those old guys have a very bad temper. I'm afraid you will be disgusted by them if you go."

"That chicken brother in your secret realm is cuter than these grandsons from the Dao League."

Ji Qiu already had some ideas, but he didn't explain it. He just smiled and said, "Let me try it. Maybe it will work."

"alright."

Wen Chunfeng agreed.

three days later.

Ji Qiu arrived at Wanbao Town and sat on the third floor of Bafangxian Restaurant.

There was no one else on the entire third floor, and Ji Qiu reserved the place.

The imperial court reimbursed.

Ji Qiu brought Zhutao and Xiaobai over, arranged them into the private room, and ordered thirty tables of dishes for Xiaobai.

They were eating inside.

Ji Qiu was drinking tea in the hall and waiting quietly.

After a while.

A young man with an extraordinary appearance and imposing manner, wearing a luxurious robe, went up to the third floor.

Jiang Wuhuo.

It was him whom Ji Qiu made an appointment to meet today. "Fellow Literary Daoist."

When Jiang Wuhuo saw Ji Qiu, he quickly raised his hand and took the initiative to greet him.

Jiang Wuzhuo was usually very arrogant, but when facing Ji Qiu, his attitude was completely respectful.

Ji Qiu also bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please take a seat."

The two were polite for a moment and sat down.

Jiang Wuhuo took the initiative and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wen invited me here, but to cooperate with the Qingfeng Sect?"

Ji Qiu nodded: "That's right."

Jiang Wuhuo shook his head and said, "Then you are looking for the wrong person when you look for me."

"Although I am the strongest genius among the disciples of my generation, I do not have much say in the sect."

Ji Qiu smiled and said: "Jiang Daoyou is a leader among the younger generation. He is too self-effacing."

"I don't want fellow Taoist to convince your master. I just want fellow Taoist to pass on the message."

Jiang Wuhuo sat up straight, nodded and said, "What's the point of this possibility?"

Ji Qiu said: "Wandaozhou is gathering monks."

"The Peach Blossom Fairy Island, which is closest to the Great Spirit Dynasty, has strengthened the formation several times."

"The plan of Wandao Continent is not to defeat the Great Spirit Dynasty, but to invade the entire Hokuriku Continent."

Jiang Wuhuo's eyes widened a bit, looking a little shocked: "Really?"

Ji Qiu handed over all the files reported by the merchants to Jiang Wuhuo.

"This is what the businessmen have seen. When recording it, the monks of Hope were watching to see if they were lying."

"I can't reveal the names of the merchants to fellow Taoists, but if you have doubts, I can take you to meet several merchants."

In four months, Ji Qiu received a lot of new information.

The number of evil cultivators on Peach Blossom Fairy Island is increasing.

These extra evil cultivators did not sneak in quietly, but waited on Peach Blossom Fairy Island.

From the various changes, it is not difficult to see that Wan Daozhou is also preparing for war.

Jiang Wuhuo took the file and read it carefully, his expression becoming more solemn.

After a cup of tea time.

Jiang Wuhuo looked at Ji Qiu: "If these files are true... what fellow Taoist said is indeed true."

"This matter is important. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to take me to meet some businessmen."

"I also know some Qi-seeking techniques."

Ji Qiu nodded and sent his consciousness downstairs.

Xu Hu took four businessmen to the third floor.

Ji Qiu said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you can ask whatever you want."

Jiang Wuhuo looked at one of the female businessmen, cast Zhanzhan Qi Technique, and asked, "Have you been to Peach Blossom Fairy Island for business and brought back a lot of information?"

"Report to my lord, yes."

Everything seen through the Qi-gazing Technique was normal.

Not a lie.

Jiang Wuhuo first confirmed the identities of these merchants before asking for details.

Ji Qiu waited quietly nearby, occasionally reminding them to guide them to reveal key information.

Jiang Wuhuo asked very carefully.

After two full hours, the four businessmen were taken away.

The identities of these four businessmen were exposed and they could no longer go to Peach Blossom Fairy Island.

Ji Qiu compensated them with a large amount of silver and arranged them not far from the Imperial City to be protected by the Guards Department.

The sun was setting outside the window, and the luster was a little dark.

Ji Qiu asked: "Did Fellow Daoist Jiang believe what I said?"

Jiang Wuhuo nodded silently.

Ji Qiu said seriously: "Qingfeng Sect and the imperial court have joined forces, and they only need to provide [-] golden elixir monks and bear the elixirs of these [-] monks."

"Qingfeng Sect can take [-]% of all the trophies."

"Your number is one-fourth of the court monks, and the commission given by the court is already very high."

Jiang Wuhuo took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, let me tell you the truth."

"please say."

Jiang Wuhuo said: "The Hejian Sect is very powerful, and the Qingfeng Sect has been suppressed in various ways."

"Xianzong is superior, regardless of these things, he is only willing to show up when he is making money."

"Qingfeng Sect needs a stronger alliance."

"If Friend Wen Dao can convince the emperor to complete the marriage, Qingfeng Sect can agree to this cooperation."

You have a pretty good idea. You want to change the princess after just one cooperation. No wonder no progress has been made no matter how much we talk about it... Ji Qiu cursed secretly and said: "Marriage is absolutely impossible."

Jiang Wuhuo stared into Ji Qiu's eyes with a tough attitude: "Then cooperation is absolutely impossible."

Ji Qiu said: "Even if you are given the position of Chief Envoy of the Guards Department and allowed you to obtain this position for life, can't you cooperate?"

Jiang Wuhuo's eyelids twitched, obviously feeling a little fluctuated.

He calmed down and asked: "The Chief of the Guards Department will do it for me. Will the imperial court agree?"

Ji Qiu said with a smile: "Since I have put forward this condition, it will definitely be feasible."

Jiang Wuhuo fell into deep thought.

After a while, Jiang Wuhuo said cautiously: "I have to go back and discuss it with the elders."

Ji Qiu nodded: "Okay, just contact me after you think about it."

"If you're not in a hurry, Fellow Daoist Jiang, can we have some together?"

Jiang Wuhuo shook his head: "Next time, I'll do business first."

After saying that, he stood up and left quickly.

Ji Qiu also got up and walked to the private room.

Zhutao held food for Ji Qiu, and asked in a low voice, "Will he agree?"

Ji Qiu enjoyed Zhutao's service and said, "I think so."

"He said that he was a man of few words and his words were useless, but he obviously came to see me after talking to the elders."

Qingfengzong still wanted to get married, and deliberately made Jiang Wuhuo appear very embarrassed, and wanted Ji Qiu to compromise.

However, Ji Qiu proposed the position of Chief Envoy of the Guards Department, which was beyond Qingfeng Sect's expectations, and Jiang Wuhuo showed great hesitation.

Obviously, this proposal was beyond the expectations of the elders.

As long as the other party has a plan, after weighing it, Ji Qiu's proposal should be considered good.

There may be some other conditions, but overall we can negotiate.

Zhu Tao said: "It seems to be easier than expected. They have been talking for four months and there is no result yet. I thought it would be difficult."

Ji Qiu shook his head: "The main reason is that the old grievances are too deep and I don't even have the chance to raise conditions normally."

"Wait, Qingfeng Sect should give us news within a few days."

……

three days later.

Jiang Wuhuo contacted Ji Qiu.

Wen Chunfeng happened to be nearby and came over, listening to the contents of the communication talisman with Ji Qiu.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, I tried my best to explain the situation to the elders. The elders were reluctant at first, but they were persuaded by me and willing to cooperate."

"But a few more conditions have to be added."

After hearing this, Wen Chunfeng said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't this treating people as fools? He pretends to be a good person, and the elders of Qingfeng Sect treat him as bad people."

"The monks in the Dao League all have this bad habit. They always feel that they are smart and treat others as fools."

Ji Qiu was not angry and said with a smile: "Let's listen to his conditions first."

"alright."

Wen Chunfeng was persuaded by Ji Qiu and listened to Jiang Wuhuo's conditions together.

"Emperor Daling must establish a Taoist document to ensure that the Imperial Guard Department can maintain its current transcendent status."

"The power to appoint and remove personnel in the Guards Department must be left in the hands of the Ambassador-General."

"The resources allocated to me by the Imperial Guards Department must be tripled from the current level, and will increase by [-]% every hundred years."
