The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 45 Negotiation
The sun rose high in the sky, and the brilliant golden light shone through the thin veil of light and enveloped the Xiaoyao Zizai Peak.

By the lake, a slight breeze blew up the young man's hair. A handsome young man in a black robe stood in an open space, holding a purple-green long sword in his hand.

Ji Xiaoshan's eyes were focused and firm, not disturbed by external things, as if the only thing in his eyes was the sword in his hand.

The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and there seemed to be the sound of a dragon's roar. Every move and every style of sword technique he performed was extremely mysterious. He was completely immersed in the world of swords.

He tirelessly practiced each sword move: thrusting, stabbing, chopping, slicing and slicing.

The sword skills gradually progressed from the most basic to the most advanced, and the Wind and Thunder Sword seemed to be an extension of the boy's body, with each move being smooth and flowing.

Sword Qi emerged from the figure's body, and the sword moves were intertwined. The young man's figure was as swift as lightning and as fast as the wind. With every turn of his wrist, sword shadows appeared, as if countless flying swords were interweaving into a sword net in the air.

"Lingxiao's intention is to break delusion. Even if there are thousands of complicated means, I only hand out one sword, and this sword can include thousands..." While Ji Xiaoshan was thinking, the sword style in his hand suddenly changed.

Countless complex sword energies converged, and heavy sword shadows dissipated, leaving only the long sword with purple and green energy flowing through it. This sword looked extremely ordinary, but it carried a terrifying aura that soared into the sky.

"boom!"

Ji Xiaoshan held out the sword in his hand, and an extremely restrained sharp sword energy shot out and rushed towards the thin light curtain of the formation in the sky. The collision between the two made a deafening roar.

"This is Lingxiao's sword, an extremely restrained sword that soars into the sky." Ji Xiaoshan looked up at the sky, and the fluctuations in the light curtain of the formation did not stop for a long time.

……

While Ji Xiaoshan was practicing Buddhism, several immortals were discussing something in the residence of the Jackdaw Immortal.

"Brother Jackdaw, you said that your new disciple has acquired a Pure Yang technique?" As the three immortals entered the hall, the tall man wrapped in chains asked loudly.

"Yes, we also saw it that day, when the nine chapters of the wooden ruler were being passed down." The Crow Immortal nodded.

“When inheriting the nine chapters of the wooden ruler? Ji Xiaoshan is a really blessed boy. Some disciples don’t even have a chance to inherit the legacy of immortals from past generations, but he has everything in the blink of an eye.” The old man with a long beard also sighed.

……

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's discuss business! Now that Wu Feng is not in the academy, let the four of us discuss this matter!" There were several tables filled with fairy fruits and wine in the spacious hall. True Man Jackdaw sat cross-legged on one side and said lightly.

"Then let's begin!" The black-haired and black-clothed immortal Diancai also looked at the other three immortals in the academy and agreed.

"Okay, the little guy Ji Xiaoshan got the Black and White Sutra from the Black and White Immortal. But I have confirmed that the Black and White Sutra he got is a genuine Pure Yang method." The Crow Immortal said slowly.

"The Black and White Sutra? The Pure Yang Method? What we have been practicing until now..." The old man with a long beard wanted to say the second half of the words, but it was a little difficult to say.

When the news about the Jackdaw Immortal came out, all the immortals in the palace were confused.

"It's the simplified version." The Jackdaw Immortal nodded.

He was also stunned when he heard the news

Those present were all immortals who had practiced for countless years, so naturally they were all smart people who could understand things at a glance.

Moreover, it is difficult for those stupid cultivators to survive and become immortals in this world full of immortals and demons.

"This..." The old man with long beard stroked his beard, also surprised.

In the endless years since the establishment of the Black and White Academy, has everyone been practicing the same simple book?
Then why didn’t the person who founded the academy pass down the complete book?
If there is this Pure Yang method, after endless years of accumulation, the Black and White Academy will have more powerful disciples, and even the probability of overcoming the tribulation and becoming a celestial being will be greatly increased.

But it is not too late now. Among them, only Wufeng and Changxu are immortals who failed to survive the heavenly tribulation.

The Crow Immortal wasted countless years in the Earthly Fairyland but was never willing to take that step.

Hengfu Immortal had been in the Earthly Immortal Realm for less than a thousand years, so he must have needed to accumulate some foundation. On the contrary, Diancai Immortal was the one with the best chance among them, as he had accumulated foundation early on. If he could now switch to practicing the Pure Yang Method, he would have a better chance of passing the Heavenly Stage.

Just in case... even if the Black and White Academy gets the opportunity by then, it won't have to be so embarrassed.

The old man with a long beard was thinking and pondering, and the people in the hall also considered the pros and cons in an instant like him.

"It seems that everyone has thought it through clearly. This is a great thing for our Black and White Academy."

The Jackdaw Immortal, who looked like a young child, said in a deep voice, "But if it is not handled properly, it will be a disaster that could bring disaster to our Black and White Academy."

In the hall, the voice of Jackdaw Immortal, full of vicissitudes, echoed in the air. He picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, "I believe everyone knows the seriousness of the situation. If a child takes gold to the market, the final result will be the crime of possessing a jade. And my Black and White Academy is now the child holding the gold."

"Unless we are willing to immediately swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, vowing never to practice and never to disclose the secret, we might be able to keep this secret to ourselves. Otherwise, as long as one person practices, the news that my Black and White Academy possesses the Pure Yang Method will eventually spread. By then, we don't know how many immortal cultivators will be attracted by the news."

The Jackdaw Immortal explained the pros and cons clearly in one breath with a serious expression.

It was both a blessing and a misfortune that the Black and White Academy accidentally acquired the Pure Yang Qi training method.

“It is impossible to have the Pure Yang Method but not practice it. If we have the Pure Yang Method, the foundation of my Black and White Academy will be a little stronger. After years and months, it is not impossible that a celestial being will emerge. On the road to cultivating immortals, the word opportunity means that one must withstand the wind and waves, forge ahead courageously, and take risks. If we retreat this time, our Taoist heart will be damaged, and it will be difficult for several of us to overcome the calamity of our inner demons in this life.” The immortal Diancai pondered for a moment and said softly.

“Senior Brother Diancai is right. We can announce to the public that we have obtained the fragments of the Pure Yang Qi training method by chance.” Hengfu said after thinking for a while, picked up the fruit on the table, took a big bite, and shook his head.

"No, that won't work. If those immortal cultivators hear a whisper, they will be like jackals smelling blood. There is no safety there."

"Alas! After all, my Black and White Academy is a little lacking in strength. If there were a fairy in charge one day, there would be no need to fear these troubles." Hengfu Immortal sighed.

"Immortal? The immortal from Tuoshan Mountain in Marquis Anchan's Mansion..." the old man with a long beard said with his eyes lighting up.

"Marquis Anchan's Mansion? Although my Black and White Academy has been an ally for countless years, there is no need for them to stand up for my Black and White Academy if there is no benefit." Immortal Jackdaw said, "Allies are always just allies, and they will not be treated as family members in Marquis Anchan's Mansion."

"Then let's make a compromise. My Black and White Academy will present this Pure Yang method to the Anchan Marquis Mansion, and we are willing to swear an oath to the Heaven, and we can also negotiate some conditions with them. After all, we are allies, and considering our face, we should not be too greedy. To the outside, if there are forces paying attention, we will release the news that this method is a fragment of the Pure Yang Qi training method exchanged from the Anchan Marquis Mansion, and it will be used to train disciples. If there are people with ill intentions, we can also ask the Anchan Marquis Mansion to cover up some of them. We can't let the Marquis Mansion get the benefits, and we have to worry about those monsters who come here because of the wind." The immortal Diancai frowned and spoke slowly after thinking.

"Hmm? The method Junior Brother Diancai suggested is feasible. If those forces are interested in this method, they still have to pass the test of Marquis Anchan's Mansion. What do you think?" Immortal Jackdaw nodded after hearing this.

What the immortal Diancai said was what he was more inclined to.

There is no celestial immortal ancestor in the Black and White Academy, which is a fatal flaw in terms of strength. If there is one who can be comparable to the Northward Sword Immortal, even if he can be comparable to a celestial immortal ancestor of average strength.

They will have some say to a certain extent, and it will also allow some time for this generation of disciples in the academy to grow.

"Well, I think it's feasible." The old man with a long beard also nodded.

"Okay, then let's do as Immortal Diancai said and put forward some conditions to the Marquis Anchan's Mansion." Immortal Hengfu also agreed.

"Okay, Wufeng is more familiar with Tuoshan Tianxian, but he is not in the academy now and it will be difficult for him to get back for a while. So Changxu and I will go to meet Tuoshan Tianxian. Diancai is very powerful, so he and Hengfu will start a protective formation to guard the academy." The Crow Immortal thought for a moment and said slowly.

"Okay." The immortals agreed.

"Then the matter is settled. Next, let me talk about my disciple." Immortal Jackdaw nodded and said, "Ji Xiaoshan has made great contributions to our Black and White Academy. Since he has found the Pure Yang Method that was lost countless years ago, he should be rewarded handsomely."

"Yes, that little guy should be rewarded handsomely." Immortal Hengfu and Immortal Diancai also nodded.

"There should indeed be a generous reward." The old man with a long beard pondered for a moment, and slowly took out a mysterious bead from the magic weapon.
