Chapter 110 Dharma Altar
"what?"

Before Xu Heng could react, Ling Junzi couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. When he saw the two men's gazes falling on him, he couldn't help but shrink his head slightly.

Dai Zhiping was interrupted by Ling Junzi and didn't know what to say next. He forced a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip in silence.

Seeing this, Xu Heng had no choice but to take over the conversation and said, "Your Excellency, are you saying that your master is not in seclusion, but has passed away?"

"That's right." Dai Zhiping sighed, "To be honest, Taoist priest, the life lamp that my elder brother left in the clan has been extinguished for more than half a year. However, firstly, we have not found the body, and secondly, we are afraid that the news will leak out and attract covetous people, so we have not held a funeral, but announced to the public that he is in seclusion."

Xu Heng knew that things in the world are unpredictable, so he just silently expressed his condolences and changed the subject, asking, "Patriarch Dai mentioned earlier that the Dai family is in danger now. What's the reason?"

Dai Zhiping smiled bitterly and said, "I think the Taoist priest has also noticed that the people in Cangzhu Mountain are in a state of panic. This is because they have been harassed several times..."

It turned out that although Dai Zhiling passed away suddenly half a year ago, it did not cause any disturbance because there was no funeral.

It should be noted that seclusion is quite normal for people who are practicing. It is just disappearing for half a year and it will not arouse suspicion, so the Dai family can still develop steadily.

But sometimes bubbles burst as soon as they are poked. Dai Zhiping didn't know whether someone had seen through the clues, or the news had leaked out somehow, or was he just extremely unlucky and suffered a sudden disaster?
A month ago, a group of mysterious monks suddenly attacked the medicine garden opened by the Dai family outside Cangzhu Mountain. They not only looted all the spiritual medicines, but also brutally killed all the people on duty.

However, apart from Dai Zhiling, the Dai family has not had a single Condensed Evil Cultivator so far, and they are completely helpless in facing this situation.

Hearing this, Xu Heng understood in his heart that Dai Zhiling did not "come out" to take charge of the situation after such a big incident. The truth was already known to everyone.

Not to mention whether it would attract the covetousness of other forces, even that group of powerful men with unknown origins would probably not let go of this piece of fat meat...

As expected, Dai Zhiping continued dejectedly, "That group of people may have seen something, and immediately took advantage of it and swept away all of my Dai family's properties outside the mountain."

"This still couldn't satisfy their greed, so they set their sights on Cangzhu Mountain and have already attempted to attack it several times."

"If it weren't for the formation guarded by my elder brother, Cangzhu Mountain would have been completely looted by now..."

Xu Heng had guessed what Dai Zhiping wanted to say, but after thinking for a moment, he followed Dai Zhiping's words and asked, "So, what does Patriarch Dai mean?"

Dai Zhiping knew that the main point of the drama had arrived, and hurriedly said solemnly: "Master, this is definitely not asking for a price, it is actually the Dai family's life and death situation."

"Therefore, I beg the Taoist priest to plead with Master Xuanxin on behalf of our Dai family, hoping that he can save our Dai family for the sake of my eldest brother. As for the matter of the Nine Yin True Evil, I will certainly not refuse."

"Oh?" Xu Heng did not comment, but just turned around and glanced at Ling Junzi.

Ever since Ling Jun heard Dai Zhiping's narration, she has been pursing her lips tightly, with a look of pity in her eyes. But surprisingly, she had no intention of speaking until this moment.

Xu Heng nodded secretly, and then slowly said: "I haven't asked yet, what is the level of the cultivators who attacked Cangzhu Mountain? Does the head of the Dai family know?"

Dai Zhiping said: "I don't know much about it, but I don't think there will be any cultivators who can practice the art of refining."

This was also within Xu Heng's expectations. The formation of Cangzhu Mountain was ordinary. Dai Zhiling might have bought it from somewhere. He could see through it with his clairvoyant eyes. There was no way he could resist the cultivator of the Refining Gang Technique.

Dai Zhiping continued to talk: "Even if there are cultivators who can practice the magic, it is just a piece of cake for the real person. The real person is kind and righteous..."

Xu Heng ignored him and said calmly: "I will not appeal to the Master about this matter."

Dai Zhiping's face froze, as if he didn't expect him to refuse, but when he saw Xu Heng's expression, he immediately knew that what this man said was true.

His expression changed several times, as if he was weighing something, and finally he couldn't help but say: "But..."

Xu Heng only needed to look at Dai Zhiping's expression to know what he wanted to say, which was nothing more than using the Nine Yin True Evil as a bargaining chip.

In fact, considering the kindness that Master Xuanxin had shown to the Dai family, it was not excessive for him to ask for the Nine Yin True Evil. As for the crisis facing the Dai family, that was another matter.

Of course, it was Xu Heng who asked for the evil spirit. If he really got the Nine Yin True Evil, he would not sit back and watch the Dai family be destroyed. But it was impossible for him to ask Xuanxin Zhenren for mercy. So Xu Heng ignored Dai Zhiping's words and said lightly: "I can solve the trouble of Cangzhu Mountain, but don't think about me asking Zhenren for this matter."

"What?" Dai Zhiping choked, glanced at Xu Heng, and couldn't help saying: "Although I can't see the Taoist's cultivation level clearly, but since he came to ask for the evil spirit, he must be only at the Xuan Guang level. How dare you solve this matter for my Dai family?"

Xu Heng was not annoyed, but said calmly: "Master Dai has no choice but to believe me, right?"

Dai Zhiping saw Xu Heng's confident expression, as if he really had everything under control, and asked in doubt, "Who exactly are you?"

Xu Heng smiled slightly and said, "I am a disciple of Xuanwei Sect and practice in Tianchi Mountain. I am neither a god nor a saint, just a cultivator."

"Xuanwei Sect?" Dai Zhiping's body trembled slightly. He was not a cultivator like Ling Junzi who was ignorant of worldly affairs. He immediately exclaimed inwardly: "So you are a disciple of a big sect. No wonder you are like this..."

He thought about it, and didn't even dare to say the word "arrogant" in his heart.

Dai Zhiping suppressed the thought in his mind and looked at Xu Heng again. He saw that he looked very determined, as if he really had everything under control. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "In that case, on behalf of the people of Cangzhu Mountain, I would like to thank the Taoist priest for his help."

"If my Dai clan can survive this disaster, I will offer you the Nine Yin True Evils."

Xu Heng ignored the hidden twists and turns in his words and said, "In that case, I have some preparations that require your help..."

Xu Heng's magic power is indeed far superior to that of ordinary cultivators, but it is far from enough to be the best among the Ningsha cultivators.

The reason why he dared to take on this matter was that he had other plans, not just out of passion.

He has studied Taoism for so many years, and what has increased is not only his cultivation and magic power, but also all kinds of methods. What Dai Zhiping needs to do now is to build an altar so that he can perform his methods.

Dai Zhiping was slightly surprised when he heard this. Although building this altar did not require any rare materials, the amount of magical objects such as spiritual stones, alchemy, and magic soil required was huge, which was also a heavy burden for the Dai family.

But when Xu Heng made this request, he actually felt relieved. He thought to himself, "The method of building this altar is not something that a casual cultivator can do. Maybe this person can really help the Dai family overcome difficulties."

Thinking of this, Dai Zhiping hurriedly said, "I wonder if there are any requirements for the construction site."

Xu Heng said: "It should be located in a place with high power and connected to the spiritual vein. After it is completed, I will consecrate it myself."

"So..." Dai Zhiping was able to manage a clan, and he was not just a useless person. He calculated in his mind and said, "It should be completed within three days, no, two days."

Xu Heng nodded slightly, and told Dai Zhiping some details. He hurriedly wrote them down carefully, and then said: "I will ask someone to do it now. Taoist priest, please come to the mountain temple to rest for a while?"

Xu Heng nodded in agreement. Dai Zhiping then called the maid and told her to take Xu Heng and the other man to their residence, then he hurried into the back hall.

As soon as he entered the back hall, a wealthy woman came forward and asked, "Master, how is the situation?"

Dai Zhiping briefly described the conversation and then said, "Go call Xiang Fei. I want to instruct him on the construction of the altar."

The woman didn't want to go after hearing that. She just called a servant to do it for her. She also pestered Dai Zhiping with questions. Dai Zhiping became impatient and swung his sleeves and shouted, "What do you want to say?"

The woman asked carefully, "Master, do you really want to give away the Nine Yin True Evil? The value of this True Evil is more valuable than any property in Cangzhu Mountain!"

Dai Zhiping snorted coldly and asked, "What if they don't give it to me? Who in the Dai family can fight for their reputation and cultivate the magic power to match this evil?"

Combining and condensing evil spirits is not an easy task. If a Xuan Guang cultivator has a shallow foundation and weak magic power, there is a great possibility of failure even if he combines the evil spirits with the most common earthly evil spirits. It is simply wishful thinking to want to combine the Nine Yin True Evils.

The woman stammered, "But the Pengxuan Dharma Assembly will be held next year. If Xiao Yang can join the Pengxuan sect, then maybe in the future he will have a chance..."

"Asshole!" Dai Zhiping said angrily, "If the Dai family can't get through this, his father's body will be reduced to ashes in two years. What's the point of joining Peng Xuan?"
