Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 128 Obtaining the Xuantian Immortal Vine
Just when Zhao Shuang was discussing the righteous and evil paths with the three sects, Mu Peiling, Han Li and other disciples of the three sects had already followed the Jindan stage cultivators of the three sects into the holy lands of the three sects.

At the same time, the righteous and evil paths had already taken action. Many evil and righteous cultivators in the foundation-building stage and the core-forming stage appeared in various places in the Yunmeng Mountains. Together with the spies planted by both the righteous and evil paths, they directly destroyed the protective formation of the three sects, and it had no effect at all.

For a moment, the three Yunmeng sects were directly at a disadvantage. Cheng and Lu from Luoyun Sect, Elder Feng from Gujian Sect and other Nascent Soul cultivators all took action. As for Zhao Shuang and Old Monster Jin from Gujian Sect, they were still drinking tea and playing chess in the hall, with no intention of taking action at all.

After all, although the three Yunmeng sects were at a disadvantage, they were not yet defeated. Furthermore, they had great cultivators from both the righteous and demonic sects in the late Nascent Soul stage. Master Zhiyang and the old demon Hehuan hadn't made a move yet, so it would be difficult for them to do so.

"Brother Jin, aren't you going to take action yet?"

After a game of chess ended, Zhao Shuang spoke.

"Don't worry, we haven't received any news yet, so it doesn't mean we've been defeated."

The old monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect snorted lightly, seeming quite confident.

Before he finished speaking, a beam of fire rushed into the hall. Before Old Monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect could take it, the anxious voice of another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ancient Sword Sect was heard.

"Brother Jin, this is bad. The Nascent Soul cultivators from the six sects of the Demonic Path and the three sects of the Righteous Path have taken action. The old monster Haoran from the Righteous Path has broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage."

"Old Monster Haoran."

Hearing these four words, Jin Laoguai of the Ancient Sword Sect was shocked. Just like before, they were all peak cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Realm, and they were only one step away from becoming great cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, he did not expect that he would actually break through.

"Brother Zhao, could it be you?"

Old Monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect said tentatively.

"Yes, it was indeed me. Haoran Pavilion had what I needed, so I sent him a Peiying Pill. I didn't expect it to really help him break through. Why don't you take action quickly? Don't forget it."

Zhao Shuang chuckled and admitted it.

Anyway, it's something that everyone will know sooner or later, so it doesn't matter.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, wait a moment. I'll be back soon. Old Monster Haoran, let me see whether his righteousness is more powerful or my Taibai Sword Technique is better."

After saying that, Old Monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect left the hall angrily.

But after he left, Zhao Shuang suddenly spoke.

"Since you two fellow Taoists are here, please come out and sit down!"

Before he finished speaking, two figures appeared. They were Master Zhiyang of the righteous Taizhen Sect and the old demon Hehuan of the evil Hehuan Sect.

"I didn't expect that fellow Daoist is here too. The two of us originally wanted to join forces to subdue the old monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect."

Master Zhiyang chuckled lightly, not hiding the purpose of his visit at all.

"Alright, I don't care what your purpose is. I only want the Xuantian Immortal Vine. The rest has nothing to do with me. This is also the reason why I came to the three sects. Just give me the two Xuantian Immortal Vines and I will leave immediately. Last time I came to you, you said you didn't have it. You can't say you don't have it this time, right?"

"I don't want to take action. I have to tear down all the major sects of both the righteous and evil sects. I have tolerated it until now. Therefore, you'd better be sensible. My patience is limited."

Zhao Shuang shook his head and said coldly. After hearing what Zhao Shuang said, Master Zhiyang and the old demon Hehuan looked at each other with ugly expressions, but they did not agree.
"It seems that I have to take action to keep all the Taoist friends from the three sects, including you two, here."

Zhao Shuang's tone turned completely cold.

"Brother Zhao, is there any way to revive the Xuantian Immortal Vine?"

Hearing the murderous intent from Zhao Shuang's mouth, Master Zhiyang revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Whether it exists or not is none of your business. The Xuantian Immortal Vine takes millions of years to mature. Even if it were to be resurrected, you wouldn't gain any benefit. So, don't even think about it. Now, hand over the Xuantian Immortal Vine immediately, or you two won't have to leave."

Zhao Shuang's tone became increasingly cold, and it was obvious that his patience had run out.

"Brother Zhao, since you've asked, we can agree to give you part of the Xuantian Immortal Vine. If you can't save her, we'll give you the entire Xuantian Immortal Vine. However, this Xuantian Immortal Vine was obtained with great difficulty by both the righteous and evil sects, and we even lost many fellow Taoists for it. I wonder what Brother Zhao plans to offer in exchange?"

Master Zhiyang spoke again.

"Oh! What do you want?"

Zhao Shuang asked in a slightly slower tone.

"We hope that Brother Zhao can allow both the righteous and evil to enter the Chaos Star Sea teleportation array at half the price, and no longer limit the number of places."

This condition seemed to have been agreed upon long ago.

Over the years, the Tiandao League's strength has skyrocketed with the opening of the Chaos Star Sea teleportation array. Although both the righteous and evil paths can also enter the Chaos Star Sea, they cannot compare to the Tiandao League in terms of the spirit stones or the number of places required.

Therefore, more and more sects and families of immortal cultivation from both the righteous and evil paths chose to join the Tiandao Alliance, and some even moved to the Chaos Star Sea and never returned.

After all, the spiritual veins of the islands in the Chaos Star Sea are quite good. As long as you are willing to look for it, you can still find a place better than the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, especially those small immortal cultivation families, who are willing to move their entire clan to the Chaos Star Sea to settle down.

It is conceivable how great an impact this has had on the Tiannan cultivation world, especially the righteous and evil sects and the Nine-Nation Alliance. If this continues, the Tiannan cultivation world will become part of the Tiandao Alliance.

Especially because of the Mulan clan's music master, the Mulan clan also had a teleportation array to the Chaos Star Sea, and their strength increased dramatically. They almost no longer lacked resources for cultivating immortals, and they also achieved many results in the battle with the Tuwu people.

Both the good and evil sides had thought about secretly setting up a teleportation array, but they all ended up in a miserable state. Zhao Shuang disagreed and said it was simply impossible.

"It seems that you have discussed this long ago, and even I, the three factions, have taken it into account, just to hope that I will agree to this condition, right?"

Zhao Shuang chuckled, as if he had figured everything out.

"That's right. As long as Brother Zhao agrees and allows us to set up the teleportation array, I will definitely offer this Xuantian Immortal Vine to you."

The old demon Hehuan said in a deep voice.

If they had not been unable to revive the Xuantian Immortal Vine, and if the hope of reviving it with the alcohol liquid was not great, and even if it were, it would take too long, they would definitely not have put forward such conditions.

Even so, it was the two of them who forced the other Nascent Soul cultivators of both the righteous and evil paths to make the decision.

"What a good plan! Using a Xuantian Immortal Vine that might not be resurrected to gain the opportunity to set up a teleportation array. Tsk tsk, and they even took me into account. Not bad, not bad, really good."

Zhao Shuang chuckled, as if he had figured everything out.

"It seems that you have tried many methods and failed to revive the Xuantian Immortal Vine. That's why you decided to trade the Xuantian Immortal Vine with me!"

"Yes, Brother Zhao has a keen eye, indeed. I wonder if Brother Zhao agrees to this deal."

Master Zhiyang stared at Zhao Shuang and said in a deep voice.

In fact, if Zhao Shuang was not there, the alcohol would belong to them.

Even if the old monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage, it would be impossible for him to stop them.

If Zhao Shuang were here, it would be the second plan.

"Okay, I can promise."

Zhao Shuang nodded and smiled. "But!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of Master Zhiyang and the old demon Hehuan froze.

Then, a fiery red glow and a sinister demonic energy rolled out, trying to form a shield in front of him, but it was still a step too late.
Rumble!
Two golden fists as big as millstones directly knocked the two men away, and they hit the stone wall of the hall hard, leaving them with almost no resistance.

"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"

Afterwards, the two men's faces were distorted, and they spat out blood. Their faces were pale and bloodless, and it was obvious that they had suffered serious injuries.

"I hate it most when others plot against me. Let this be a lesson to me."

Zhao Shuang snorted coldly.

It's not that he doesn't want to kill the two of them, but there's no need to. These two people will die before him, and their lifespan is already short, so they are not a threat.

As for the other people from the two sects of good and evil or the Nine Nations Alliance, they are even less of a threat.

On the contrary, killing the two of them would not benefit him at all, but would instead cause both the righteous and the evil to unite against the enemy, which is not a good thing.

But it is not a problem to teach them a lesson and reduce some of their already limited lifespan.

"I agree to this deal. Please have your men stop! As for the Xuantian Immortal Vine, you can't save it with just the alcohol solution."

Zhao Shuang said something else that made the two of them feel relieved.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao, but we still want to give it a try."

The old demon Hehuan refused to give up.

"Okay, then let's see if you can get it."

Zhao Shuang sneered.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao,"

Upon hearing this, the old demon Hehuan and the monk Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to express their gratitude.

Although I felt extremely unwilling, I knew that this was the best outcome.

If it weren't for the fact that the benefits brought by the revival of the Xuantian Immortal Vine were beyond imagination, they would not have taken such a risk.

After saying that, the two of them left the hall and went to the three sects' holy land to seize the alcohol liquid.

……

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang continued to wait for the Ancient Sword Sect's Jin Laoguai to play chess.

The result of the confrontation between the three Yunmeng sects and the forces of good and evil was not much different from what Zhao Shuang remembered. The elixir was taken away by Master Zhiyang and the old demon Hehuan. In the eyes of the two, the holy lands of the three sects were no different from uninhabited areas.

But although they succeeded, the two did not kill them. They only injured the cultivators above the Jindan stage from the Ancient Sword Sect, Luoyun Sect, and Baiqiao Academy and took away the alcohol liquid.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivators, Old Monster Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect was defeated by Old Monster Haoran from the Haoran Pavilion. Cheng and Lu were injured, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators were also injured to varying degrees, which was a heavy loss.

However, the Tiandao League also asked both the righteous and evil factions for a large sum of compensation, most of which was given to the three sects.

Part of it was given to Zhao Shuang as a reward. If it were Zhao Shuang, the losses of the three factions would be even more serious.

As for why Zhao Shuang did not take action to stop it, it was because Zhao Shuang was not in the mood, although the three factions had a significant impact on him.

The three factions didn't say much.

A year later, Master Zhiyang personally delivered the unresurrected Xuantian Immortal Vine.

Zhao Shuang also resurrected it with the Xuantian Immortal Vine, but did not ripen it prematurely. With his current "Qingdi Muhuang Gong", it would only take a short while to ripen it.

Time flies. On this day, in Yueyao Valley, the vines grown from the Xuantian Immortal Vine in the medicine garden were all over the ground, climbing up several nearby white jade pillars, lush and green, and extremely dense.

The herbal scent emanating from the vine is far beyond the reach of any other elixir in the medicine garden.

The master of the medicine garden, Jiuqu Lingshen, also transformed into a rabbit and lay at the root of the vine, sleeping soundly.

As soon as Zhao Shuang walked nearby, the white rabbit's long ears moved and its fiery red eyes opened a slit. After seeing clearly that it was Zhao Shuang, it closed its eyes again without any care and continued to sleep.

Zhao Shuang didn't care about the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng. Although the latter also practiced the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art", he did not allow the Xuantian Immortal Vine to ripen.

Of course, the strength of the Jiuqu Lingshen is already equivalent to that of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Except for Zhao Shuang, no one in the entire Tiannan cultivation world is his opponent.

Therefore, Zhao Shuang doesn't need to worry about anything.

At first glance, the resurrected Xuantian Immortal Vine seemed no different from an ordinary vine, aside from emitting an astonishing spiritual energy. However, a closer look revealed something unusual.

The vine's color was an extremely emerald green, and within this deep green, it reflected a metallic sheen. Furthermore, upon closer inspection, the patterns on the vine's leaves were incredibly mysterious. Each one was different, each one bearing a silver script, only halfway written, or incomplete with only a few strokes.

Zhao Shuang was not surprised by this, but relevant records emerged in his mind.

According to ancient books, only the spiritual trees that appeared when a certain world was created and chaos was born can be named after Xuantian.

Whether it's the Xuantian Immortal Vine or the Xuantian Immortal Tree, the spiritual flowers and spiritual fruits they produce all possess incredible magical powers that defy the laws of heaven and earth. They are truly heaven-defying treasures!

It's just that there were only rumors about this kind of thing even in ancient times, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

However, it is recorded in some classical books that four or five of these heaven-defying things can be born in one world, which is considered too many.

And they all have their own unique growth cycle. The length of the cycle is measured in hundreds of thousands of years. However, once they bloom and bear fruit, their decay time is only a few days or even a few hours.

Such a long cycle, and the time for maturity and decay is so fast, makes it simply wishful thinking for people to obtain their spiritual flowers and spiritual fruits.

As for these Xuantian trees, only their spirit flowers and fruits have the power to defy the heavens and ignore the laws of heaven and earth. The vine itself is just an ordinary weapon refining material and has no great value.

But for Zhao Shuang, it was just out of interest and he didn't want the Xuantian Immortal Vine to fall into the hands of others.

"Brother, this immortal vine contains the power of law. Are you sure you don't want to ripen it quickly and let it bear the "Fruit of Law"? This will definitely be a powerful weapon for you."

The Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng transformed into an eight or nine-year-old girl in white clothes, walked up to Zhao Shuang and spoke in a sweet voice.

"No rush. It's not too late to wait until the spirit world matures this thing. Now, I have no rivals in the entire human world, so there's no need to ask for any more sharp weapons. I'd better keep it!"

Zhao Shuang shook his head and said lightly, seeming not to care much about the Xuantian Immortal Vine, otherwise he would not have easily agreed to the conditions of Master Zhiyang and the Old Demon Hehuan.

For him now, this is nothing.

Even if the strength of both the good and evil forces increases greatly, it will not affect him.
