Born with immortal seed

Chapter 360 Silver Needle Tea Tree
"Fang Tiansheng said that Blood God True Monarch is trapped in the restrictions of the ancient ruins and his life or death is unknown. He has already killed all the Blood Demon Sect cultivators... Now he is worried that the Demon Extermination Alliance will turn its attention to him and wants me to step in and mediate."

Ge Cang recounted Fang Tiansheng's purpose for coming.

"How could he be so sure that Blood God True Monarch has definitely fallen? Could it be that he himself set a trap, which is why he is so confident?"

Bai Zichen frowned and asked a question.

Excluding the Blood God True Monarch, the strength of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect far surpasses that of the Blood Demon Sect. Moreover, the attack was sudden, so it's quite normal for the entire sect to be wiped out without any preparation.

The key question is whether the Blood God True Monarch is only temporarily restricted, or whether he is permanently trapped in the restriction, or even dies.

Otherwise, if an enraged Nascent Soul True Monarch were to return, the Myriad Beasts Sect would not be able to withstand it.

"There's no need to delve into the specifics anymore. I know Fang Tiansheng well; he's patient and persistent. Since he dared to launch this attack, he must have made thorough preparations."

Both of them knew that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect could not possibly become a staunch supporter of the Blood Demon Sect, but they did not expect that day to come so soon, even dragging the entire Blood Demon Sect and Blood God True Monarch himself into the mess.

"Fang Tiansheng has brought all the Pure Spirit Jade Marrow accumulated by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect over the past hundred years, as well as a third-tier Beast Taming Inheritance, only asking that I step in and persuade the Demon Extermination Alliance to withdraw."

"This matter is simple. Two of the Demon Extermination Alliance are vassal forces of our sect. A single letter is enough to change their tune... The Demon Extermination Alliance currently lacks an absolute leader. After the Blood Demon Sect was destroyed, their primary goal was to seize territory and resources."

Bai Zichen pondered for a moment and then gave his answer.

"With the Blood Demon Sect gone, the Demon Extermination Alliance has no reason to exist... As long as people's hearts are not united, few will respond to the proposal to attack the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."

"That's fine then, we've fulfilled Fang Tiansheng's request."

The two companies were allies in the past, and Fang Tiansheng showed enough sincerity, so they should lend a hand.

"The Liang Kingdom has lost another Nascent Soul power, which is a good thing for the sects. The Blood Demon Sect is always an unstable factor."

The Blood Demon Sect's actions and behaviors are completely illogical.

They relentlessly attack all neighboring sects, often dragging another sect into the battlefield before the outcome of a sect war is even decided.

Furthermore, they would not accept any mediation; all who surrendered would be exterminated.

From this perspective, it's fortunate that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect surrendered early and secured the position of combatants; otherwise, they would certainly have been among the first targets for conquering mountains and breaking into sects.

"We still need to be careful. It's unlikely that Fang Tiansheng could scheme against Blood God True Monarch on his own. There's a very high probability that he has a Nascent Soul True Monarch behind him. Whether this person is friend or foe is unknown... Not everyone can be like you, Junior Brother Bai, where defeating a Nascent Soul True Monarch is as easy as forming a Core."

Ge Cang reminded him that he was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, which allowed him to sense the gap between himself and a Core Formation True Person.

Even if Blood God True Monarch trusted Fang Tiansheng immensely, the restrictions that would trap him wouldn't hold a Nascent Soul True Monarch for very long.

Moreover, he is a Nascent Soul True Monarch known for his survival skills and capable of manifesting a blood river at any time.

"I wonder which Nascent Soul True Monarch made the move. If it's only targeting Blood God True Monarch, that's fine... but if he's also eyeing Liang Kingdom, that's where the trouble lies."

Ge Cang disliked mundane affairs, so it was already quite remarkable that he had spoken so much.

"I will be in seclusion for a while to cultivate the Xuanming One Qi Formless Divine Thunder that your disciple offered, to see if there is any possibility of combining it with the Qiantian Yuanyang Divine Thunder Network. I don't need the divine thunders to be fused together, as long as we can coordinate well when activating them and achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts."

"Then I wish you great success in your thunder magic and a great advancement in your cultivation!"

Bai Zichen knew that Ge Cang, who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation and possessed the true form of the Thunder God, had developed in thunder magic in a completely different way than before.

If the two great divine thunders can be integrated, there is a high probability that they can embark on a broad road to success.

"I always feel that there is something strange about the Blood God True Monarch's matter. It is possible that the entire cultivation world of Liang Kingdom will be involved later... In the great battle ten years from now, you wait for me to come out of seclusion and then we will go together, so that no one will take the opportunity to do anything."

When Ge Cang reached the peak of his Core Formation, he was confident that any Nascent Soul True Monarch who attacked Black Mountain would pay a price.

Now that he has achieved Nascent Soul and mastered Thunder Escape Technique, there are few people left in the world who can keep him alive.

"Junior brother understands."

The duel between two Nascent Soul sword cultivators, one being the number one sword cultivator in the Northern Region and the other being the supreme elder of a super sect in the Central Region, is bound to attract the attention of the world.

There is a high probability that other Nascent Soul True Monarchs will be present at that time.

Watching a match live can be of great benefit to one's kendo, but it inevitably involves encountering unknown risks.

With Ge Cang traveling with him, Bai Zichen had nothing to worry about.

The two brothers joined forces, and as in their past battles, they could go anywhere in the world.

……

Bai Zichen originally planned to stay at Tianlei Cliff for a few days before returning to Flame Mountain, but unexpectedly, Huo Feiyan's return brought back a message that interrupted his journey.

"You said you saw a second-grade, top-quality Silver Needle Spirit Tea?"

"That's right. When Junior Sister Ma and I returned from slaying demons, we encountered a visiting cultivator. To show off, he brewed us a pot of spiritual tea."

From the Foundation Establishment stage onwards, Master Bai attached great importance to spiritual tea, but he gave up after the Core Formation stage because the General Affairs Hall could not provide spiritual tea of ​​the corresponding grade.

However, Huo Feiyan kept in mind what her master had casually mentioned, saying that even if there were no third-grade tea trees, old second-grade top-quality tea trees might be enough.

So as soon as he saw the second-grade top-quality spiritual tea, he immediately returned to report.

"How do you know it came from the Black Mountain, and not brought from the outside world by that person?"

For Bai Zichen back then, the main function of the spiritual tea was to restore his spiritual consciousness, as cultivating the God-Forging Technique and visualizing the Five Crystal Glass Body greatly depleted his mental energy.

However, at this level, ordinary spiritual tea is no longer necessary, unless it is enlightenment spiritual tea.

After using the Enlightenment Bodhi, he deeply felt the usefulness of this kind of spiritual object, which played an unexpected role in many crucial moments.

The reason he mentioned this was that he had just thought of whether he could use the Taiyi Azure Spirit Technique to upgrade those second-tier top-grade spiritual plants to achieve the maximum effect.

“The man said he comes to Black Mountain every few years to purchase products, and this batch of spiritual tea is one of them… We can see clearly that it is the Silver Needle Spiritual Tea that we usually drink.”

Ma Ruoxi is full of heroic spirit and has a unique short haircut. She usually gets along very well with several disciples under the tutelage of Bai Laozu.

She possesses a water and stone spirit body, and only with a specific compatible spirit object can the function of this spirit body be brought into play.

Otherwise, they would be exactly the same as normal cultivators, with no apparent advantages or special abilities.

All the spiritual items acquired during their cultivation journey were provided by Ancestor Bai. Even the most important item, the Five-Eyed Bodhi of the Winding Stream, was only included in the apology gift after Ancestor Bai mentioned it.

With a spiritual object that suits her, Ma Ruoxi's efficiency in refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is equivalent to that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

She had become the number one disciple of her generation, and her late Foundation Establishment cultivation was rare among the young disciples of the entire Qingfeng Sect, surpassing even Huo Feiyan.

"Silver Needle Spirit Tea, is it from the Fang family of Red Leaf Valley? Let Tong Huan go and ask if it's because their two tea trees in Red Leaf Valley have advanced to a higher level."

Upon hearing about Silver Needle Spirit Tea, Bai Zichen immediately understood what was going on. Those two Silver Needle Tea trees were the treasures of the Hongye Fang Clan, and according to the rules, 50% of the annual output of the spirit tea had to be offered as tribute to the Qingfeng Sect.

The remaining spiritual tea is the portion that the Fang family can freely distribute.

Clearly, after the tea tree advanced, the Fang family wanted to earn more spirit stones and kept the news of possessing a second-grade top-quality spirit tea a secret.

First, they used aged second-grade superior silver needle tea to appease the sect, then secretly sold second-grade top-grade silver needle spiritual tea to cultivators from other places, earning a lot of spirit stones.

This deception cannot last more than a few years. When their family's stockpile runs out and they have to replace the tribute spirit tea with second-grade top-quality tea, they will still have to inform the Qingfeng Sect.

“Uncle Bai, our sect is so lenient towards these cultivation families, yet they still dare to hoard spiritual treasures from the sect… They fear power but do not cherish virtue. They must be punished to serve as a warning to other cultivation families.”

Ma Ruoxu was born in Hejian County. From a young age, he was taught to hide good things, otherwise, if the Ghost Spirit Sect found them, his family would be destroyed.

Of the major cultivation families in Hejian County, only two families with pseudo-core cultivators have some autonomy; the others are nothing more than fat sheep raised by the Ghost Spirit Sect.

It wasn't until he joined the Qingfeng Sect that he discovered there were cultivation families who could grow and thrive under the protection of the upper sect.

As long as you don't overstep the bounds, the Qingfeng Sect has always been very lenient with cultivation families, mainly targeting sects that attempt to spread their teachings, recruit disciples, and establish their own lineage.

That's true incompatibility, and ruthlessness.

Taking the pioneering war as an example, after the war, the Qingfeng Sect would also share a large portion of the spoils with the participating immortal cultivation families and rogue cultivators.

From spiritual veins that can serve as the foundation for one's existence to various cultivation resources, they are all generously bestowed.

If this were applied to a demonic sect like the Ghost Spirit Sect, they would simply conscript people forcibly, using non-sect cultivators as cannon fodder and sending them to the front lines during wartime.

As for the war spoils, don't even think about it; they all go to the upper sect, so what does it have to do with you?

Other sects are slightly better, at least they don't exploit cultivation families and rogue cultivators as ruthlessly as the demonic sects. But to be as fair and generous as the Qingfeng Sect, where even Foundation Establishment Pills and second-tier spiritual veins can be exchanged with pioneering merits instead of just giving out some spoils of war, there isn't a single one.

This is why, when the war between the righteous and the demonic factions broke out, before the Qingfeng Sect had even begun to show its strength, so many rogue cultivators flooded into Heishan County.

Hongye Fangshi's actions, which might be considered selfish in Heishan, were unforgivable in Ma Ruoxi's eyes.

"Since you are interested, I will leave this matter to you. I will get back to you after you have investigated the matter thoroughly."

Even if the Silver Needle Tea Tree could be upgraded to the third level, its effect on Bai Zichen at present would be negligible.

If it were when one had just formed the Core Formation stage, it would be fine, but now that everyone is in the late Core Formation stage, even low-grade third-level spiritual tea can only be used for daily consumption.
