If I upgrade, I can win prizes

Chapter 495 Triangle
It is easy to ask someone to play for you. After all, it is a win-win cooperation and no one will easily give up the benefits.

Lu Ang could clearly see that Heavenly Merit was extremely important to these people who were in harmony with the Dao. Even in response to their previous requests for help that they had been complaining about, these guys were now willing to sacrifice their own flesh and blood. It was conceivable that the rarity of Heavenly Merit must be far greater than that of a phoenix egg.

Although Lu Ang didn't know what kind of apocalypse that world had encountered, last time it was an ice apocalypse, this time it was a hot apocalypse? Was it a zombie crisis or an alien invasion, or a hundred ghosts parading at night or a strange advent?
However, no matter what kind of doomsday it is, I think that with the power of these top forces, they should be able to save the world. After all, they represent the highest-end military force in the entire cultivation world. If Hedao can't handle it, can't the Mahayana behind them handle it?

However, Lu Ang really had never decided where to place the space-time gate to this doomsday world.

If you think about it carefully, whether it is placed in the Golden Buddha Immortal City, the Confucian Haoran Domain or the Taoist Donghuang Domain, it doesn't feel good. It is too biased towards one party, which can easily allow one of them to occupy a dominant position and may even exclude itself. On the contrary, when the three parties check and balance each other, there will be some bottom line and it won't be too ugly.

But it would not be appropriate to send him back to the Xianlian Sect. It was obvious that once the end-time space gate was opened, it would inevitably attract a large number of top cultivators from various major sects, including many Hedao and perhaps some Mahayana cultivators. Powerful people of this realm were too dangerous for the small Xianlian Sect, especially for a Mahayana Immortal Venerable. Perhaps a single thought would be enough to annihilate the entire Xianlian Sect.

Moreover, the Sea of ​​Tear region where the Xianlian Sect is located is located on the border between humans and demons. If the demons hear the news and intervene, things will certainly become more complicated. If it causes a war at the Hedao level or even the Mahayana level, the small Xianlian Sect will not be able to withstand it.

He had no idea for the time being, so Lu Ang began to delay the attack: "Since all the Taoist Lords agree, why not wait for you to rescue my Taoist companion's clansman, and I will hand over the full version of the "Original Vow Merit Sutra" to you, and also tell you the location of this doomsday world, how about it?"

The three Hedao looked at each other, and it was the Long-browed Bodhisattva who spoke first: "That's fine, but you know, this matter is of great importance. We are naturally seeking merit, but for the demons, their desire for karma is no less than mine. Many of the demon sects have made annihilation moves, and there are many powerful sects that practice the ways of destruction, killing, and chaos. For them, this doomsday secret realm is the best place for enlightenment!"

"If they knew about this, there might be a demon clan leader sneaking in to attack you, forcing you to tell me the location of this secret realm, and then entering it to do something annihilating! So, I think you are in danger now! I am willing to send someone to protect you, just in case!"

"It's the same for my East Palace!" Daoist Master Jianmu also jumped up: "I have sent a letter back, Daoist Master Ziwei will be here soon! He is one of the strongest Daoists below the Mahayana level in my East Palace. He has fought against the demons for tens of thousands of years. He is powerful and experienced, far stronger than me. With his protection, I will be able to keep you safe!"

"Hahaha, Daoist Jianmu and I thought the same thing!" Taibai Wenjun laughed, "I also sent a letter back, and the one I invited is the military strategist Wei Liaozi! He is well versed in the art of war, and also practices the doctrine of righteousness at Haoran Academy. He is one of the most powerful military formation saints in our Confucian school, and the current number one military strategist. With his military formation protecting you, you can rest assured!"

Damn it! You guys are such ungrateful people. You just want to monitor me, but you say it in such a high-sounding way. You three are the only ones who know about this apocalyptic small world and the secret method of merit. As long as you don't tell anyone, the demons will know nothing!

But the situation was stronger than the person, Lu Ang couldn't just refuse outright. Even if he refused, which of those Hedao wasn't good at hiding? They followed him secretly, and Lu Ang couldn't know about it. He couldn't escape through the film and television world, or go back to the original, right?

Therefore, Lu Ang still accepted their protection. After all, it was just a clone. He still had the ability to save his life and escape. Even if he lost it, it was just a loss of a colored reward, which was not too serious. However, the feeling of having this clone always being watched and unable to move still made people feel uncomfortable.

After finishing the business, Lu Ang bowed his head and said goodbye: "Since it's settled, I will go back first. My Taoist partner is still waiting for me."

"Hey, what's the difficulty? We just need to send her here. Why go back? It's too dangerous." The long-browed Bodhisattva smiled and had no awareness of illegal detention at all.

Lu Ang would not indulge him. He had to be soft when necessary, but if he continued to be soft, there would be problems in the future cooperation. He had to be tough and immediately put on a stern face: "Why, does the Bodhisattva want to imprison me?"

The long-browed Bodhisattva's face froze, and he quickly shook his head: "Of course I don't mean that. I'm just worried about the safety of the little donor. Since the little donor doesn't want to, we will protect him in secret."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Lu Ang felt dazed for a moment, and found himself back in the cave he had rented before.

In another small room in the cave, there were faint signs of spiritual energy flowing in and out, as well as a faint glow of fire. As expected, it was his cheap wife who was practicing.

Lu Ang changed back to his original ordinary appearance, and began to practice cross-legged. No matter what, he couldn't stop the daily practice, as he didn't want his Nascent Soul to be defective or underdeveloped.

After practicing for almost two big cycles, the door of the room finally opened and Hongluan walked out with a complicated expression: "You...you're back?"

"Yes." Lu Ang nodded: "After receiving the reward, of course I came back, otherwise?"

Hongluan hesitated for a long time before asking, "You...are you a man or a woman?"

"I thought you were going to ask me what reward I got." Lu Ang laughed, "Of course it's a man! If I were a woman, why would I ask you to be my Taoist partner?"

"Then why did you turn into a woman on the stage?" Hongluan had obviously been struggling with this question for a long time.

"Well, how should I put it... Fighting is fine in the ring, but in reality it is a matter of life and death." Lu Ang made up an excuse: "As long as I can win, what does it matter if I turn into a woman? Even if I turn into an insect or feces, it is just a strategy. Since that Pure Yang Taoist has set his eyes on my Taiyin body, I will use his trick against him as long as I can win."

After that, Lu Ang changed the subject: "By the way, did you go to redeem the gambling tickets you bought earlier?"

Although Lu Ang is not short of spirit stones, it is after all 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, and the compensation is 5,800. That is really a lot. With so many high-grade spirit stones, even a Fanxu Venerable would be greedy and could exchange them for several thousand spirit jades specially used for the Hedao realm.

"No." Hong Luan shook her head: "Very few people bet on you to win. I saw a lot of people watching over the gambling house, fearing that something unexpected might happen."

As expected of someone who had fled all the way from the border of humans and demons into the heartland of the human race, his vigilance was still online. Lu Ang nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

As he said that, Lu Ang prepared to walk out of the cave with Hong Luan, but at the entrance of the cave, Lu Ang stopped and said, "Why don't you ask me what reward I got for winning the championship?"

"This..." Hongluan didn't seem to have thought of this at all. Or perhaps, she didn't even think of coveting Lu Ang's reward. Her voice was very calm: "What is the reward?"

"The three Dao Lords said that they could each grant me one wish." After a pause, Lu Ang said the key point: "Weren't your people captured by the Phoenix Clan? I asked the three of them to help me rescue them, and the three Dao Lords agreed."

"Ah?" Hong Luan's voice suddenly rose. She was surprised at first, then puzzled. Finally, her eyes became a little moist, and her voice trembled: "Really...really?" "Of course it's true." Lu Ang pretended to be calm and indifferent: "Why do you think I participated in this Tianjiao Competition?"

Bo Ruofeit! I give myself full marks for pretending this time! Perfect! I am really a genius at pretending!
"You just want to..." Hongluan said halfway, tears already streaming down her face: "When can they be rescued?"

"This matter is not as simple as you think." Lu Ang said truthfully: "The Phoenix Clan is really powerful. The three Daojuns can't rush into the Demon Realm to ask the Phoenix Clan for people, so we need to communicate with the Phoenix Clan and use some benefits to exchange people back. It will take some time, but they have promised me that this matter should be able to be done."

"Thank...thank you..." Hongluan's voice was gentle and soft, completely different from her previous harsh tone.

Is this a UP in favorability? Can I hold hands with her or touch the little tuft of hair behind her ear? I've wanted to touch this for a long time!
In the end, Lu Ang put aside his desires and maintained his composure: "What's there to thank me for? I'm your Taoist partner! Let's go get the spirit stones!"

After taking a step out of the cave, Lu Ang regained his beautiful female body as he had on the arena before. The reason was simple. If he went to get the money, he would be seen by countless people and even leave a video, which would easily lead to the exposure of Jiqiaoyu's true body. It was better to use this female body. Although it would also attract attention, with the protection of the three Hedao, nothing should go wrong.

Taking Hongluan along the winding path and attracting the attention of a group of people nearby, Lu Ang finally arrived at the gambling house on the waist of the golden Buddha.

It is called a gambling house, but in fact it is also a temple. It is the headquarters of Daxiangguo Temple, a major Buddhist sect, in Jinfo Fancheng. It is said that the Tao Zhu lineage of the Confucian school also has shares in this gambling game and has strong financial resources.

There were indeed quite a lot of people gathered at the temple gate, hundreds or even thousands at a glance, all staring at the gate eagerly. I guess they must have heard the news that someone spent a large sum of spirit stones to buy what they would win, so maybe they were curious, or maybe they were greedy, so they were waiting here.

Lu Ang stood at the temple entrance and said loudly and bluntly: "Everyone, stop looking. I bought and won by myself. I bought 10,000 high-quality spirit stones. Now I am here to claim the prize. Everyone, go away."

After that, he took Hongluan into the temple, found the abbot, and bid for the ten shining gambling tickets.

The exchange went smoothly. After verifying the authenticity of the gambling ticket, Lu Ang received a small storage bag. After injecting spiritual power into it, it turned out to be a fourth-level magic weapon that could lock the spiritual consciousness. The space was hundreds of square meters and was filled with high-quality spirit stones that shone brightly.

There was no point in Lu Ang having so many spirit stones, so he took out half and put them into the ring, and threw the other half along with the storage bag directly to his cheap wife: "Spend these, buy whatever you want, don't be polite."

As expected, money is a man’s courage. The feeling of throwing money casually really makes people feel heroic and refreshed.

After exchanging the spirit stones, Lu Ang prepared to take his wife out for a good meal to deepen their relationship, and then return to the cave to practice while waiting for the three powerful men to rescue them, and thinking about the placement of the doomsday portal.

However, just as he walked out of Daxiangguo Temple, a white light flashed and a figure stopped in front of Lu Ang.

It was the Chunyang Taoist. This sunny and cheerful boy’s face was full of excitement: “I’ve been waiting for you! I’ve been looking for you! I…I…I…”

His voice was also filled with excitement, as if countless words were piled in his throat, squeezing and piling up against each other, and for a while he was unable to utter a complete sentence.

He stuttered like this for a long time before he finally suppressed his excitement, his eyes sparkling: "Fairy Lu! Just be my Taoist partner! I can swear to the heavens! I will be with you forever! No! I will treat you well forever! Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning! My soul will be destroyed! I will never be reborn!"

Your method of pursuing women is even worse than mine. You just swear and vow to do it. It's too bad. If it weren't for your status and strength, with this kind of technique, I'm afraid you will end up living a lonely life!

Even if you can offer a little benefit to show your sincerity, it would be good. I even rented a cave for my wife and bought some magic weapons!

Oh, that's not right! This guy seemed to have given me all his personal storage bags. I only had one set of clothes and my own flying sword left. I really couldn't take out anything else.

Lu Ang directly took out the storage bag he had given him before and threw it over: "I'm giving this back to you. You didn't think before you gave it to me. Most of the things in here are for Yang Spiritual Roots. Can I use them? You should be more careful when chasing women in the future."

After saying that, Lu Ang prepared to take his wife away.

But this Chunyang Taoist had no intention of giving up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't think of these things, I just wanted to help you, I also have things of the Taiyin lineage in my Chunyang Taoist Palace! A lot of them were sent back that year! There are all kinds of martial arts manuals, all kinds of magic weapons and spiritual materials! Come back with me! I will go find the head teacher and ask him to give them to you!"

"Hey." Lu Ang didn't want to be pursued by a man, so he used his trump card directly: "Didn't you realize that I also have a thunder spirit body, and I'm practicing thunder-related skills now?"

“It’s better not to practice this thunder-type technique!” Taoist Chunyang’s eyes were gleaming. “Don’t worry! My Chunyang Dao Palace has its own secret method to discard the technique and start over! The cost is very small! In just three years, you can practice the Taiyin True Method again! Get back on the right track! Although this Taiyin land is a bit more troublesome, there is still the Extreme Yin Land, which is enough for you to practice to the Return to Void Realm!”

You think a lot. Have you even thought about what to name your child? Unfortunately, I'm not interested in men.

So, Lu Ang dealt another blow: "You also said that by practicing Taiyin, I can only reach Return to Void, so what's the point of practicing it? My Thunder Spiritual Root is also a Dao Body. There are still many Thunder Lands in the world of cultivation. With my qualifications, it is not difficult to break through to Hedao. Why should I switch to practicing Taiyin, which has no future?"

Lu Ang looked him straight in the eyes: "Your so-called love for me and wanting me to be your Taoist partner is just for your own selfish desires! It's just for your own breakthrough to the Dao!"

"No! No! I don't mean that!" Chunyang Daozi was about to cry: "I will find a way, I will let you continue to practice! I don't treat you as a tool! You have to believe me! I am sincere! I..."

But Lu Ang didn't have time to listen to his explanation. He turned around, waved his sleeves, and left with Hongluan.
