Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 197

The last time I heard news about the secret cave in Ziyun Islands was before Su Mu advanced to the Golden Core Stage. I didn't expect that time would pass so quickly, and thirty years would come in a blink of an eye.

Upon hearing Master Taiyan's invitation, Su Mu just sighed a little and asked:

“I don’t know if this Ziyun Secret Realm auction held by Lingqiao Palace will have any good treasures?”

Since the other party took the initiative to mention this matter, with the ability of Qingxuan Sect, he should have obtained some inside information in advance, otherwise Taiyan Zhenren would not have to bother with it.

Sure enough, Master Taiyan did not hide it, but said directly: "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, this auction is truly the biggest event in the past hundred years.

Although our Qingxuan Sect has also gained some real benefits, compared with Lingqiao Palace, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Maybe even Lingqiao Palace didn't expect that the harvest this time would be so huge.

Therefore, they eat large pieces of meat, but they also know that they cannot eat alone. "

"So Lingqiao Palace has decided to hold an auction for thirty years, so that other forces or casual cultivators who need to win over can also taste the benefits and avoid causing public outrage!"

Hearing what the other party said, Su Mu immediately guessed the main purpose of holding this event.

"Fellow Daoist Su is really smart, and he guessed it right at once. I heard that fellow Taoist has also been to the East China Sea some time ago. I should know that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to obtain various elixirs and magic weapons. In addition to the eight major forces, Besides, even our Qingxuan Sect is struggling."

Having said this, Master Taiyan was quite upset.

If it weren't for Qingxuanmen's lack of strength and Biyang Palace leading a group of people to cause trouble, the things in the secret realm would have been in Qingxuanmen's pocket and would have fallen into the hands of Lingqiao Palace.

Otherwise, why would Qingxuanmen send out this old man like him?

As a respected third-level alchemist, he originally only needed to stay in the sect and refine elixirs, and there was no need to worry about all kinds of mundane affairs.

However, there are too many monks in the Qingxuan Sect today. Not only the few Jindan monks want to practice, but also the true disciples must not be ignored. The output of the sect alone is far from enough, so they must find every way to find various high-level disciples. Practice resources.

Auctions like this one organized by top powers are one of the important sources.

Since the Qingxuan Sect wants to win over the Su family, it simply promotes them to deepen the relationship between the two parties.

Compared with the Jindan forces in Biyang Palace who have always wanted to get rid of Qingxuanmen's control, Huo Xidao, who can recognize current events and have a bottom line, makes Qingxuanmen feel more at ease.

However, the next moment, Su Mu's answer surprised Master Taiyan.

Su Mu replied without thinking, "Since there is such a grand event, let Su Xian lead some tribesmen to see the world. It just so happened that I also met a few Taoist friends there who were pretty close to me, so I took advantage of the opportunity. They go and identify the door.”

"Fellow Daoist Su, according to the news we have received, this auction not only includes elixir-formed spiritual objects, but also a large number of magic weapons or high-level spiritual materials. These things, even for us golden elixir monks, It is quite rare to encounter one within a hundred years.”

Master Taiyan mistakenly thought that Su Mu didn't know how great the treasures Lingqiao Palace wanted to release, so he specifically pointed them out.

Su Mu smiled faintly and said: "With the current family background of our Su family, we can only focus on observation. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at these things, how can they flow into my hands, so it's not that I don't want to, but I can't get it. In this case, just let Su Xian follow the real person there, and it will be a long experience. "

After hearing what the other party said, Master Taiyan thought about it again. It was indeed as the other party said. With the Su family's financial resources, I am afraid that they really cannot compete with other established Jindan forces for financial resources.

"Fellow Daoist Su is a sensible person. Even I, the Qingxuan Sect, can only pick one or two items. Now that fellow Taoist has made a decision, Pindao will inform Su Xian in advance and let him choose a few clan members. Go.”

Although it was just the first meeting, after this conversation, Master Taiyan took another high look at Su Mu.

Fortunately, he persuaded the others to deal with the soul search issue urgently, which at least eliminated one misunderstanding.

Otherwise, it would be detrimental to Qingxuan Sect if the time dragged on longer and longer.

In particular, Master Taiyan unconsciously made a rough comparison between Ji Yueming and the other party. No matter in every aspect, Ji Yueming was obviously inferior.

"Having such a thoughtful opponent with clear grievances and grievances is a blessing or a curse for Master Nephew Ji." Master Taiyan could only sigh in his heart.

"Then it's Master Lao."

Su Mu didn't understand the other party's intention to win over him, so he didn't forget to thank him.

"It's just a small effort, no need to thank you. Fellow Daoist Su, you should be able to feel the sincerity of Pindao and the Qingxuan Sect behind him. I hope you can express our position in front of Su Xian and the others."

"sure."

After the discussion, Master Taiyan left with the Qingxuan disciples.

Since Su Dingchan and Ding Qiuguan rarely came back, they were allowed to stay here and were not in a hurry to go back.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that the wedding celebration came to an end.

As the monks took their leave, Huoxi Island returned to calm.

Su Mu called Su Xian and Su Jiaxiang to the meeting hall alone and directly handed the kit into their hands one by one.

"What is this?"

Su Xian didn't know why, so he opened the brocade bag and took out a straw man.

This straw man is only about three inches long, about the size of a palm, like a miniature man.

Su Jiaxiang also opened his kit and took out another identical straw man.

"Uncle, what is this?" Su Jiaxiang played with it and found that the straw man in his hand was of no use at all.

If he pulled hard, the straw man might fall apart.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a straw man." Su Mu had never seen such a thing before, but with his profound knowledge, he roughly guessed its origin.

"Replacement?" Su Xian on the other side was shocked.

"What is a straw substitute?" Su Jiaxiang saw Su Xian's slightly exaggerated expression and vaguely realized that the thing in his hand was unusual.

"The straw double, as the name suggests, is a treasure that can ward off disasters for you. It is said that as the connection between oneself and the straw man becomes closer, it can even have the function of taking the place of death."

Hearing this, Su Jiaxiang's mouth opened as wide as if he could stuff an egg into it. He didn't expect that this little straw man could be so mysterious.

If you really want to be able to die as a substitute, wouldn't it be equivalent to having an extra life!

"Great uncle, this straw man is too valuable. You should take it back."

Although Su Jiaxiang was reluctant to leave, he knew that he was not worthy.

Last time, Su Mu had already given him a high-grade spiritual weapon for protection, and he didn't dare to ask for anything else. "This is not given by me, but Qingxuanmen entrusted me to give it to you."

Immediately afterwards, Su Mu repeated Master Taiyan's words.

After listening, Su Xian and Su Jiaxiang looked at each other with mixed feelings in their hearts.

"If you have any ideas, you can speak directly. No matter where you go, it is indeed Ji Yueming who was at fault first. There is no need to worry about the other party's current strength. At this time, they are the ones taking the initiative to apologize. As for whether to accept it or not, that depends on It’s up to us.”

The protective meaning in Su Mu's words was clearly exposed. No matter what decision the two of them made, Su Mu supported it unconditionally.

"I listen to my uncle, whatever he says is what he says." Su Jiaxiang knew that he was a clumsy talker, and if it hadn't been mentioned suddenly, he would have forgotten that there was such a thing.

Su Xian thought for a while and said categorically: "It's better to resolve enemies than to end them. Now that someone has sincerely apologized, we shouldn't keep pursuing this matter. For us, we still have to look forward as much as possible, and It’s not about being stuck in past memories and being unable to extricate yourself.

Furthermore, although the other party's methods were a little rough, they quickly eliminated our suspicions and virtually avoided a lot of trouble. "

If it weren't for the fact that Su Mu was valued by others, based on some of the unspoken rules in today's spiritual practice world, let alone the straw double in his hand, there would not even be an apology.

Su Xian has been in control of the Su family for decades and does everything himself. Who would have thought of this?

If he really thinks about his family, this is the only way he can handle it. Otherwise, he would cause trouble for the Su family and Su Mu in front of him.

By then, the relationship between the two parties will no longer be harmonious, which may cause a lot of troubles. Such an ending is not what Su Xian wants to see.

He was quite satisfied to be able to get this straw substitute.

"Well, since you have decided so, I have no choice but to respect it."

To be honest, the strength gap between the two sides is still too big. To have such a result, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for both sides.

There is no absolute fairness and equality in the world. If you want to achieve this level, you must at least have matching strength, otherwise it will be an egg against a stone.

"Uncle, I don't need this thing at this stage, so it would be more suitable for you." After Su Jiaxiang finished speaking, he planned to present the straw double to Su Mu.

Su Mu waved his hand and said: "The function of this straw man is quite mysterious, but it must be maintained through constant warmth and nourishment. Now, I also don't have the energy to sacrifice this thing, so you should keep it. "

Speaking of which, the function of this straw man was somewhat similar to the method of dismantling demons he practiced, so there was no need for him to spend time trying to do it all over again.

Furthermore, he is also a real Jin Dan, so there is no need to be reduced to grabbing things from juniors.

He is not even interested in the auction hosted by Lingqiao Palace, so why would he be interested in a straw man.

……

With Su Xian and his two men accepting the straw double, the case was finally settled.

In the following days, not only Su Mu returned to his ordinary life of cultivation, but there was also no disturbance around Huoxi Island or Luoxiafang City.

Su Mu mainly focused on studying gold and stone alchemy. In his spare time, he gathered three or five tribesmen and began to slowly search the land of Leize.

At the beginning, most of them stayed on the outermost edge and did not dare to go deeper. Everything was still focused on training these tribesmen.

With this compass in hand, no matter whether you stay for an extra day or two or three or five days, you won't have to worry about finding your way home.

Before they knew it, they slowly advanced two to three hundred miles.

During this period, they explored several cave dwellings, and they could not say that they gained much, but at least they did not return empty-handed.

To Su Mu, these things are really not worth mentioning, but to a monk in the foundation building stage or Qi training stage, it is no different from getting rich.

The only thing that gave Su Mu something to gain was that he secretly took out the Xuanyin Beast Gathering Flag and gradually restored the strength of the Xuanyin Beast Gathering Flag by swallowing the souls of sea beasts.

Another thing that surprised Su Mu was that the gray mist that caused the monks great distress did not seem to have any effect on the golden retriever.

For this reason, Su Mu investigated in detail for a period of time, and finally could only attribute it to the fact that maybe this was the miraculous nature of the strange beasts in the world.

Once it entered the gray fog, the Golden Retriever ran away like a wild horse that had lost its stiffness.

Fortunately, there is a vague feeling among them, and no matter how long they are apart, they seem to be unable to escape.

As long as Su Mu fiddles with this sense, the golden retriever will run back obediently.

On this day, the golden retriever ran away again and didn't know where he was going.

Before Su Mu could summon him, Jin Maoyu came back early.

"Hey, I found an abandoned cave, and there must be a spiritual fire hidden in it. But there is a powerful sea beast entrenched in the cave. Its magical power can just restrain my true fire. Come and help me. one time!"

As soon as he saw Su Mu's figure, Jin Maohuan jumped on the other party's shoulders and conveyed his request through Qianyuan Qinghuo.

"If it can restrain your true fire, doesn't it mean that this sea beast is at least level three or above."

Since he always carries some oil bottles with him, Su Mu can only walk around the periphery, where he cannot encounter third-level sea beasts at all.

"Stop being so nagging, come with me quickly." The golden retriever looked quite anxious.

After more than half a year of recuperation, the three-yin eclipse heart fire in its body has gradually decreased slowly, but for the golden retriever, this speed is still too slow.

As long as it can swallow more and more spiritual fires, its natal true fire will become more and more powerful, and the refining speed will also increase simultaneously.

However, spiritual fire is not a common thing in the first place, and most of the things that can be seen are ordinary first- and second-level items. For golden retrievers, the effect of improvement is really limited.

Seeing Jin Maohuan's anxious expression, Su Mu was able to confirm that the spiritual fire must be extraordinary.

"You go over there first and stay there while I send the others back and then join you."

No matter what, Su Mu must give priority to ensuring the personal safety of his clan members.

The Land of Lei Ze is no joke. If you really want to put other people here, the probability of something happening is extremely high.

Upon hearing this, Jin Maohuan immediately turned into a golden light and ran away to the place where he had just come.
