Journey to the head

This question from the elders' meeting, for which Lu Qian had prepared a lot beforehand, turned out to be surprisingly simple.

Lu Qian reviewed and narrated the entire incident in Cangzhou from his own perspective, and then the elders of Taiyi Paradise raised questions about the doubts.

There was no deliberate harassment, and no one even bothered about Tan Yunxing's past. They just asked and left it alone. Only one expected question made Lu Qian perk up.

"The sky curtain barrier cast by the Forbidden Sect has been confirmed by True Lord Heming to be a fake immortal technique." An elder asked, "Inside this sky curtain, the space is closed and cannot be moved. Even the "Magpie Bridge Mysterious Light" that we previously bestowed on the Xuanwei Sect and True Lord Heming himself cannot pass through."

"But you were able to perform spatial teleportation in front of everyone. Can you explain this to us?"

Uh, okay. Although the question itself was expected, the way it was asked was unexpected.

It was clearly a matter that was very likely to involve the power of the Heavenly Sovereign, but he asked it so directly without any concealment or detours?
Lu Qian's eyes were focused and he was so confident, it really was worthy of being called Taiyi Paradise.

"I mastered a secret technique called 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' that can move space." Lu Qian said, "But it was at that time that I discovered that the movement of 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' can actually break through the pseudo-immortal technique."

"Combined with the ancient traditions of our sect, it is very likely that this secret method was taught by the Heavenly Sovereign."

Lu Qian gave the answer he had prepared in advance.

"Also, my sect also has some secret books that record the secrets of the True Immortals, so I know more about the Heavenly Monarch. In this way, although my sect has a short history, it is very likely that there are still mysteries."

That's enough.

It was not that the secret method of the Heavenly Sovereign was obtained by chance, but that it was taught to him by the Heavenly Sovereign. There is also the "historical truth" that is not understood. Such a strong connection with the Heavenly Sovereign is enough to make Taiyi Paradise feel worried and stop pursuing it forcefully.

Sure enough, the elders exchanged a few words and did not ask any more questions.

Lu Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Miaomiao Xuanjun, who was sitting on the chair cautiously in an awkward posture, was shocked. So that's how it was. This secret technique was actually taught by the Heavenly Lord. It turned out that Yunshan Sect actually had such a super background. But why did the founder of the sect, who was most likely to have received the technique from the Heavenly Lord, fall so quickly, and finally the entire sect was destroyed in Cangzhou?

Could it be that this involves the struggle between the Heavenly Lords?

At this moment, Miaomiao Xuanjun felt a chill down his spine and trembled all over.

The inquiry ended smoothly. The elders discussed a few words about the week, and Taogu Immortal Lord turned around and said, "Lu Qian, do you have anything to ask?"

Lu Qian was deeply moved by the Immortal Lord's approachable attitude. He raised his head carefully and took a look, and only then did he see the appearance of Taogu Immortal Lord clearly.

Well, although he doesn't have the demeanor of an immortal king as imagined, his normal attitude towards weak cultivators is enough to be admired.

"May I ask, Immortal Lord, have you finally found any traces of Tan Yunxing and the others?"

Taogu Immortal Lord shook his head: "That evil villain used strange means to open the spirit vein, and then completely cut off the spirit vein channel. Although this small firewood world is still unable to escape the control of Yuanchen World, we have no idea where it will drift to at this moment, and where the new spirit vein channel will be formed."

"But since it involves the Ten Heavenly Lords, our sect will inform the dominant sects on other continents and ask them to pay close attention to this matter. I don't think they will have the courage to cause trouble again in the short term."

Lu Qian listened very carefully and got a lot of useful information from Taogu Immortal Lord's words.

For example, even in Taiyi Paradise, there is no "golden tree". There are two possibilities. One is that the heaven of Siyuan Tianjun is not like Shengsha Tianjun's "Wuchen Pure Land" and Taiyin Tianjun's "Chan Palace Fairyland", and there is no golden tree. The other is that although there is a golden tree, Siyuan Tianjun did not reveal its news to Taiyi Paradise.

But no matter what, the rarity of the golden tree has been verified once again, and the more we know about it, the more precious it becomes.

In addition, after the Chaixin Realm is captured by the Yuanchen Realm, even if the spiritual power channel is cut off, it will not be able to escape, but will be captured and plundered in another location.

Lu Qian's eyes turned cold.

So Jin Jiao and Tan Yunxing, one day, we will meet again.

Tan Yunxing, I will personally settle the mistakes of the past.

Lu Qian suddenly remembered something and asked, "My Lord, I have a close friend who died in this battle. But thanks to the help of True Lord Heming, his life span was extended for three days. I wonder if my Lord can help him. I am willing to use the merits I have gained this time to offset his loss."

Hearing that Lu Qian actually valued this close friend so much, Taogu Immortal Lord sat up straight and looked at Heming Zhenjun: "Oh, is this true?"

Heming Zhenjun hurriedly told the story. After hearing that he used the "Soul Gathering Lamp" to forcibly gather the soul of Cangfeng Zhenren, which had begun to disintegrate, Taogu Xianjun could not help but say, "Hey, idiot! If you don't use the Soul Gathering Lamp, I can still think of a way. Since you have used the Soul Gathering Lamp, that means you have to gather the soul at the cost of the dispersion of your true spirit. Once the time is up, the soul will disintegrate."

Heming Zhenjun felt aggrieved. How could he know that Lu Qian had such a background? Could he really pull you down from the cave just to treat a golden elixir? I'm afraid that my head will be the first to be pulled off by you.

He looked at Lu Qian again, and seeing that he looked lost, he hurriedly said, "Lu Qian——"

Lu Qian shook his head: "It is fate, how dare I blame you. We are very grateful for your help. We are satisfied that you can extend our lives for another three days."

He once again expressed his gratitude to Lord Miaomiao Xuan: "I also have to thank Lord Xuan for the Xiantian Lingdan, otherwise I would not have the foundation to prolong my life."

Miao Miao Xuan Jun waved his hands repeatedly: "Li Xianyu is a warrior in our state after all. He died fighting against the forbidden religion, so how could we not save him? But it is really rare for him to have a good friend like you."

Seeing that several people were in low spirits, Taogu Immortal Lord clapped his hands quickly, looked around and saw that all the elders had no objection, so he unfolded the list again.

"The elders' meeting has decided that the rewards and punishments for the Cangzhou incident are as follows."

Everyone was cheered up.

"The head of Yunshan, Tianyuanzi Lu Qian, is very wise and brave, quick-witted and decisive. He saved the lives of tens of thousands of cultivators in Cangzhou, saw through the conspiracy of the Sixth Heavenly Monarch, and assisted in the arrest of the remnants of the forbidden sect. If it weren't for Lu Qian, Cangzhou would have fallen into the hands of the Sixth Heavenly Monarch, not only would the people be devastated, but who knows what tragic consequences would have been caused. He also has the character of sacrificing his relatives for the sake of justice, and can be regarded as a role model for the younger generation of Yuheng Continent."

"The elders' meeting has decided that he should be the first to achieve great success and be rewarded handsomely according to the rules!"

Lu Qian wanted to thank him again, but he was still pressed firmly on the jade throne.

Miaomiao Xuanjun and Qiancheng Lingjun showed great envy, but there was nothing wrong with this. Lu Qian successfully sent out the immortal scroll at the last minute. He saved the lives of tens of thousands of cultivators in Cangzhou. In addition, he later exposed the conspiracy of the forbidden sect, allowing the four sects of Cangzhou to continue to control Cangzhou instead of packing up and leaving. This contribution is even more difficult to measure.

"Reward: a thousand spiritual marrows and one spiritual core." Lu Qian's heart trembled. He was stunned by this mountain of gold and silver as soon as he came up.

Spirit Stone, Spirit Crystal, Spirit Marrow, Spirit Core, the preciousness of these four items increases in order. One Spirit Crystal can be exchanged for 1,200 to 1,300 Spirit Stones, and Spirit Marrow is already a trading currency that only Yuanshen Xuanjun often uses. It is very precious and can even be exchanged for a high price of 1,500 Spirit Crystals in the market.

Therefore, the thousand spirit marrows here are equivalent to 1.5 million spirit crystals!

One million and five hundred thousand spirit crystals. What does that mean?
So far, the most profitable income of the Chongming Alliance, the Never-Sleeping City and the Frost Leaf Workshop, together have an annual profit of about 12 million spirit stones, which is equivalent to a maximum of 10,000 spirit crystals.

As for the money that will be allocated to the Yunshan Sect, it will need to be distributed according to the shares held, and the actual amount received will be more than 2,000 spirit crystals.

The reward from the spiritual essence of Taiyi Paradise now is equivalent to the net profit of Never-Sleeping City and Frost Leaf Shop for 150 years, and it is completely monopolized by the Yunshan Sect!

More importantly, there is a spirit core!
At the "Spirit Core" stage, it has almost gotten rid of the function of "currency" and has become a top-level resource for cultivation. In the eyes of cultivators in the lower realms, it is something that only exists in legends.

If one really wants to squander the resources to exchange for spiritual essences, he could probably only exchange for two thousand pieces!

At this moment, the abacus in his mind was clattering, and the astronomical figure that was obtained almost made Lu Qian dizzy.

With so much money, why open a market or do some business?

But as soon as I changed my mind, reason suppressed the expansion.

The savings were so large that it was eye-popping, but how could one give up on the way to make money? Moreover, the market was not only a business, but also an extension of the power of the sect, and played a strong role in all aspects of the sect's development.

What we need to do now is to allocate money reasonably, save some, and take out some to make money.
Before Lu Qian could figure it out, Taogu Immortal Lord had already continued reading.

"Reward: 10 Creation Fire Pills and 7 Precious Innate Spirit Pills!"

Miaomiao Xuanjun opened his mouth wide and almost screamed out.

Not to mention the ten Fortune Fire Pills that would save his life as long as his head and heart were intact, there were also seven precious Innate Spirit Pills! You know, when I handed over the Dragon Balls to the Heavenly Monarch, the precious Innate Spirit Pills granted by Taiyi Paradise were only ten.

In other words, in Taiyi Paradise's heart, Lu Qian's contribution is almost comparable to that of Tianjun Dragon Ball.

"Among them, I think at least three are needed to improve your cultivation without bottlenecks." Taogu Immortal Lord shook his head, "Lu Qian, although you are a hero at a young age, your cultivation is still shallow after all. Three innate elixirs are enough for you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Then you need a magical pill to protect yourself and overcome your inner demon tribulation. This way, your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage will be just around the corner."

"For the other three, what kind do you want?"

Miaomiao Xuanjun's eyes almost popped out, no way, Taogu Xianjun not only made all the plans for Lu Qian, but also allowed him to freely choose the type of elixir!
When I was given the ten coins, I had no choice. What a favoritism!

Lu Qian thought for a moment and replied, "May I ask you, Immortal Lord, is this innate elixir that improves your cultivation level poisonous?"

Taogu Immortal Lord's face flashed with admiration, and he nodded: "The poison is very strong, you can only take one pill at a time. Before the poison is cleared, you must not take another Xiantian Lingdan, whether it is the same or different kind. Otherwise, the medicinal properties will be combined and it will be difficult for a True Immortal to save you. And even with the antidote given by my sect, the duration of the poison in the body will continue to double."

"If you take the first pill, you will have erysipelas for ten years. If you take the second pill, you will have erysipelas for twenty years. If you take the third pill, you will have erysipelas for forty years. If you take the fourth pill, the erysipelas will last for eighty years."

"During the period when the poison has not been completely eliminated, not only will your cultivation be greatly affected, but you will hardly make any progress in your cultivation. Even if you take other types of elixirs, it may cause uncontrollable poisoning consequences."

"So I said, if you are the only one using it, three will be enough."

So that’s how it is. Lu Qian understood it all at once.

With his own talent, pure glass body and the cultivation resources he can enjoy, the time required from now to the perfection of the golden elixir will not exceed one hundred and twenty years.

In this way, after taking three pills, he will need seventy years to eliminate the poison in the pills before he can take other innate elixirs to help him overcome the inner demon calamity.

This means that he will need seventy years to reach the state of tribulation, which is fifty years shorter than the natural one hundred and twenty years, and is even a little faster than the natural spiritual roots.

But if after the Nascent Soul stage, one still wants to improve his cultivation by taking innate elixirs, not to mention how much his cultivation can be increased, the fourth pill will cause him to be poisonous for eighty years. This may be attractive to cultivators with poor talent, but it is not cost-effective for Lu Qian.

Therefore, it is not sustainable to increase your cultivation by taking innate elixirs. Besides, where can you find so many innate elixirs to take?
These three innate elixirs that can advance the golden elixir from its early stage to its perfection have been called treasures by Taiyi Paradise. It can be seen that they are already top-notch and there are no more powerful ones.

Therefore, for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, there are basically no shortcuts to take, and they must rely entirely on their own practice to slowly climb up.

Unless, you take the innate spiritual energy directly.
The innate spiritual energy from the destruction of a fourth-level high-level spiritual vein is more effective than this precious elixir, and can improve the Nascent Soul cultivation by a small level.

But then again, the destruction of a high-level spiritual vein is rare and once it appears, it is surrounded by many tigers. Where can you find it?
Lu Qian was distracted by two things: on one hand he was thinking about his future path of cultivation, on the other hand he was sorting out the practical needs of the entire Yunshan Sect. After a few breaths he finally got the answer.

"I dare to ask you to grant me five innate elixirs that can improve my cultivation, one innate elixir that can help me overcome my inner demon tribulation, and one innate elixir that can bring the dead back to life."

Since Lu Qian had his own plans, Taogu Immortal Lord readily agreed and continued reading.

"Reward: one top-grade technique that can be cultivated to the perfection of the Refining Void, and three mid-grade techniques that can be cultivated directly to the perfection of the Primordial Spirit."

Lu Qian was even more excited. Indeed, the numbers did not sound very generous, but after all, these were things that would be passed down from generation to generation and should not be given away lightly. Moreover, he had to tailor the amount to the individual's needs and consider the status of the Yunshan School as a Jindan sect. This was already very good.

Regardless of Taiyi Paradise's own rating, this must be a top-grade skill that can be directly included in the "Yunshan Seven-Level Dongxuan Sutra".

Especially the one that can be cultivated to perfection in the realm of refining emptiness, and one can achieve the status of a Hedao Immortal Lord by just overcoming the tribulation. However, the Taiyi Paradise evolves in real time and is constantly iterating and upgrading, so it may be more powerful than the "Taishang Yuanling Zhenhai Divine Art"!
"Reward: twenty top-grade magic weapon embryos and two top-grade spiritual treasure embryos."

Lu Qian was almost stunned by the generous reward. Now he could arm ten golden elixirs and prepare two top-grade spiritual treasures for his future soul!
Hmm, is the reason there is no secret treasure because it was replaced with two top-grade spiritual treasures?

Taogu Immortal Lord suddenly blinked and said, "Lu Qian, there is an interesting lamp in this magic weapon embryo. You can play with it first."

Before Lu Qian could react, he heard him say, "Finally, reward: three True Talismans·Great Moving Talismans, and three True Talismans·Xuanzhen Guardian Talismans!" (End of this chapter)
