Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 145: The magical power from the Yuhua Sect of Eternal Life

"Hurry up and invite the Grand Elder!" This was the first sentence that Palace Master Liu of Xiaoji Palace said when he learned that Zhao Shuang, the number one person in the human world, was waiting outside Ice City.

The Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace knows more about the Yinluo Sect and Kunwu Mountain than anyone else.

After all, although Xiaoji Palace believes that it is no worse than Yinluo Sect, and is even three points stronger, even with these three points more, it cannot afford to offend Zhao Shuang, the number one person in the human world.

Therefore, after sending someone to invite the Great Elder Han Li of Xiaoji Palace, he personally brought the Yuanying stage elders of Xiaoji Palace and many outer disciples in charge of welcoming guests, and went out of the city to welcome Zhao Shuang as if it were a fairy palace.

The fairy music was so faint that it seemed as if a fairy palace was really welcoming guests.

……

"My concubine Liu Yao greets Fellow Daoist Zhao and Saint Tianlan. This is the sect elder Bai Yaoyi..."

Knowing Zhao Shuang's preferences, Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, bowed and introduced the many Yuanying stage elders of Xiaoji Palace to Zhao Shuang one by one with a look of awe on her pretty face.

Among them, Bai Yaoyi is the most beautiful and charming, with bright and clear eyes, like a young girl in her twenties.

However, one of the important reasons why this woman is so beautiful and charming is the palace dress she is wearing.

I don't know what kind of rare material it is made of, but it not only shines brightly with silver light, but also has several milky white cold air floating around it, making this woman look like a fairy in the clouds, without any worldly air.

Apart from this woman, the other female elders of Xiaoji Palace are also as beautiful as spring flowers and autumn moons, each with their own merits, which makes people's eyes shine.

And this Xiaoji Palace is worthy of being the largest sect on Beiming Island, comparable to the ten major sects of both the righteous and evil paths, with more than twenty Yuanying stage elders in the sect.

And it is only a part of them. Another part is responsible for guarding the important places in Xiaoji Palace, and it is impossible for them to come out to welcome guests.

Even if Zhao Shuang is the number one person in the human world.

After Zhao Shuang greeted all the Nascent Soul cultivators in Xiaoji Palace one by one, he and Lin Yinping followed the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, Liu Yao, into the Ice City.

The entire ice wall is not made of brick-shaped ice blocks, but is crystal clear, as if it was carved directly from a giant piece of ice by the magic of nature, without a single crack on the surface.

As soon as they entered the Ice City, several spirit beasts below began to scream strangely.

There were several white monkey-like spirit beasts with long, flawless snow-white fur. They were half-crouching there, with a pair of green eyes flashing with a sinister cold light.

These ape-like spiritual beasts are snow apes that grow specifically in extremely cold areas. Although these beasts are not of a high level, they are extremely intelligent and easy to tame, so they are kept by many monks throughout the North.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhao or the Saintess is carrying a high-level ape-like spirit beast? Although these snow apes are not very useful, they have an extremely keen sense of their own kind. To be able to frighten them like this, it is clear that the ape-like spirit beasts on the two of you are extraordinary."

Seeing this scene, a strange color flashed across the beautiful eyes of Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, and she explained with a smile.

"Zhao does have a high-level ape spirit beast on him. However, he is not normally needed."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang chuckled and explained.

Seeing this, Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, did not continue to ask questions, and everyone entered the Ice City at the right time.

The main street in this ice city is extremely straight and wide, with a thick layer of ice on the ground, leading directly to the city gate.

From a distance, there were not many people on the street, most of them were low-level monks wearing yellow and white clothes.

On both sides of the street, the houses are neatly arranged. It would be more appropriate to call it a castle rather than a city.

Zhao Shuang and Lin Yinping followed the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, Liu Yao, and many Yuanying elders of Xiaoji Palace to an ice wall about several hundred feet high.

However, there is a passage in the middle of the ice wall that is more than ten feet long.

Without waiting for Zhao Shuang to speak, Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, began to explain softly.

"Those buildings on the mountaintop that look like palaces are actually just for the low-level disciples of the inner palace to practice and live in. The real high-level inner palace disciples actually live in the Hanli Secret Realm behind this wall. This is the true location of our Xiaoji Palace. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Zhao and the Saint Girl, the elders of the palace would not easily let anyone in."

"I see. Thank you, Palace Master Liu."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang didn't bother to care whether it was true or not. He hugged Lin Yinping and stepped into the passage.

The passage was only a hundred feet wide, so the group passed through it quickly.

Then, the scene that came into view changed drastically.

It is a fully enclosed valley surrounded by lush greenery, birds singing and flowers blooming. There are some exotic flowers and plants planted everywhere. It looks like a sunny valley with spring all year round.

The area here is several miles wide and is surrounded by green mountain walls. However, half leaning against the mountain walls, there are pavilions and terraces built, which are exquisite.

In the middle of the valley, there are three large halls made of white jade, which occupy almost one-third of the valley.

What is surprising is that these three white jade palaces, apart from the difference in size, look exactly like the Xutian Palace in the Chaos Star Sea.

It is also made of pure white jade, extremely exquisite and gorgeous, emitting a faint luster.

However, compared with the palace floating in the void that day, the volume of these three palaces is only one-third of the size of the Xutian Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, that's the Xu Ling Palace. It's been there since the day this palace established its sect. It's said that it was built by the founder of this palace and a few good friends using immense magical powers. There's something quite mysterious about it!"

Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, saw Zhao Shuang's gaze and introduced him again.

"However, to enter, the consent of most of the palace elders is required."

"I see."

Zhao Shuang nodded and smiled.

He naturally knew the relationship between Xiaoji Palace and Xutian Palace, so he did not ask any further questions.

……

When the group entered the VIP Hall of Xiaoji Palace, there were already two figures inside. One of them was a great cultivator in the late Yuanying stage. What was surprising was that this person was just a dwarf three feet tall, wearing a blue robe.
His face was covered with deep wrinkles and he had a long white beard. He was looking at Zhao Shuang, the number one person in the world, with a look of joy and awe.

"Are you the Grand Elder Han Li of Guigong?"

Zhao Shuang was the first to speak and laughed.

"Yes, I am indeed Han Li. However, the name of Master Han Li is just a respectful title for the great elders of Xiaoji Palace throughout the ages. My real name is Shi Xiang, but not many people know it." Master Han Li nodded in acknowledgment.

"This is Junior Sister Bai Mengxin, the younger sister of Junior Sister Bai Yaoyi."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang naturally looked at the woman next to him. The woman was in her twenties, dressed in a white shirt, with a beautiful face. As if to prove Master Han Li's words, she looked 50% similar to Bai Yaoyi.

But her jade-like face was unusually pale, even faintly transparent, which looked a bit weird.

"My concubine Bai Mengxin has met Fellow Daoist Zhao. I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Zhao is the best in the human world. Now I have the honor of meeting him in person, and it is indeed as the rumors say."

Bai Mengxin bowed and spoke in a cold, respectful tone.

"You are so polite, Fairy. Fellow Taoists, please take a seat!"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang didn't hesitate to put his arm around Lin Yinping and sat down at the first seat in the hall. Lin Yinping didn't leave his arms, which made him look like a tyrant emperor bringing his beloved concubine to court.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao!" Although Xiaoji Palace belonged to them, facing Zhao Shuang, the flower of the number one person in the human world, they could only thank him and obey him, not daring to disobey him in the slightest.

Zhao Shuang was obviously the guest, but now he acted like the master of Xiaoji Palace. Even the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, Liu Yao, and Master Han Li, two great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, sat upright in front of Zhao Shuang and did not dare to make any sound.

This is strength!
"Don't be so nervous, my two fellow Daoists. I've come here to trade a few things with your sect. Don't worry, I won't let your sect suffer any loss."

Zhao Shuang raised his eyes and glanced at the many Nascent Soul cultivators of Xiaoji Palace in the main hall, smiling as he spoke.

He said something that made many Yuanying stage elders of Xiaoji Palace breathe a sigh of relief.

"I wonder what treasure Fellow Daoist Zhao wants to trade?"

Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, asked first.

"I've heard your sect possesses an entire vein of ten-thousand-year-old black jade, and I'd like to take some of it. In exchange, I'll teach you a supreme ice-attributed magical power: 'Heavenly Frost Mysterious Netherworld Power.'"

Zhao Shuang mentioned the first thing to be exchanged.

"Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Zhao, for the Ten Thousand Years Black Jade Mine. It's not that I don't want to, but this Ten Thousand Years Black Jade Mine has countless restrictions. Furthermore, each piece of the Ten Thousand Years Black Jade was condensed into one piece by our ancestors using unknown great magical powers and the entire mine. Furthermore, it has been refined by the cold air in the cave for many years, making it all round and integrated. Therefore, even if you have the most powerful treasure, you can't remove it."

Hearing what Zhao Shuang wanted to exchange, Xiaoji Palace Master Liu Yao and Master Han Li looked at each other. They had no intention of asking how the matter of the ten thousand year old black jade mine was leaked, but now they had to tell the truth.

"Zhao knows this, so he made preparations before coming here to ensure that it can be taken down. Palace Master and Great Elder Han Li can rest assured. So, does your palace agree to this first deal?"

Zhao Shuang chuckled and spoke slowly.

"If Brother Zhao really has a way to take the Xuanyu, the Palace Master and I have no objection. However, could you please allow us to see the magical power that Brother Zhao mentioned? It's not that I don't believe in Brother Zhao, but I want to see just how powerful this magical power is that Brother Zhao calls it the Supreme Magical Power."

Master Han Li agreed.

"Of course, no problem. This is the Heavenly Frost Mysterious Dark Power. Great Elder Han Li, please take a look."

Zhao Shuang took out an ice-blue jade slip and handed it to Master Han Li.

This "Heavenly Cold Mysterious Power" is exactly one of the eight magical powers of the "Eternal Life" Yuhua Sect.

For Zhao Shuang, it is of little use and is far inferior to the "Five Emperors' Great Demonic Powers".

So for him, the exchange was nothing, not to mention that it was not comprehensive.

There is absolutely no need to worry about anything.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao."

Upon seeing this, Master Han Li showed gratitude on his face and quickly took the jade slip to examine it.

Perhaps, the opportunity for him to suddenly reach the God Transformation Stage lies in this.

However, he was just thinking about it. If that were the case, Zhao Shuang would have broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage long ago.

Why wait until now?

When the other Yuanying stage elders of Xiaoji Palace saw this, they stared at the ice-blue jade slip in Master Han Li's hand with anticipation.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is right. This 'Heavenly Frost Mysterious Dark Power' is indeed the only supreme divine power I have ever seen. As long as one cultivates successfully, there will be very few people in the entire world of immortal cultivation who can be its enemy. On behalf of Xiaoji Palace, I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Zhao for his generous gift."

It took a full hour for Master Han Li, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, to finish reading the "Tianhan Xuanming Jin" in the jade slip. Then he stood up with an unprecedented solemn expression. Under the shocked gazes of Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, and many Nascent Soul stage elders of Xiaoji Palace, he respectfully bowed and thanked Zhao Shuang.

"Great Elder Han Li, you are too polite. The Ten Thousand Year Black Jade Mine is truly important to your palace. I have come here not just to take even a fraction of it, but to take 70% or even 80% of it. If I don't use this supreme magical power as compensation, I will feel guilty."

Zhao Shuang replied with a serious expression.

This made the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, Liu Yao, and many of the Nascent Soul Elders of Xiaoji Palace very grateful.

After all, from what Master Han Li said, they could see how supreme this magical power "Tianhan Xuanming Jin" was.

I originally thought that Zhao Shuang wanted to take advantage of the situation, but I didn't expect that he would actually give compensation.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you're joking. This volume of 'Heavenly Frost Mysterious Dark Power' alone is better than that ten thousand year old black jade vein."

Master Han Li said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Great Elder Han Li."

Zhao Shuang did not deny it.

Because his move was indeed generous.

After all, this kind of magical power from "Eternal Life", even if it is only "Heavenly Cold Mysterious Power", one of the eight magical powers of Yuhua Sect, is almost as good as the magical power of the immortal world in the mortal world.

The gap shouldn't be too big.

The words of Great Elder Han Li also shocked the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace Liu Yao and other Nascent Soul Stage elders.

They knew better than anyone how valuable that ten-thousand-year-old black jade vein was; it was no less valuable than a high-level spirit stone vein. Yet, Great Elder Han Li was now claiming it was even less valuable than a set of magical powers.

What kind of incredible magical power must be possessed to be comparable to a ten-thousand-year-old black jade vein.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Great Elder Han Li chuckled and said.

"Palace Master, please take a look first! No cultivators below the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the palace are allowed to watch."

After saying this, he handed the jade slip to Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Yuanying stage elders of Xiaoji Palace in the main hall had different expressions on their faces. Needless to say, Bai Yaoyi, who was in the middle stage of the Yuanying stage, had a flushed and happy face.

The majority of the Yuanying stage cultivators had complicated expressions, and were becoming more and more curious and expectant about the "Tianhan Xuanming Jin" given by Zhao Shuang.

But unfortunately, Master Han Li’s words almost killed their hopes.

"However, if you have made great contributions, you can also watch and borrow a few."

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Master Han Li added another sentence, which made the face of the elder of Xiaoji Palace who was in the early Nascent Soul stage look much better.

After all, they are not without hope. As for great achievements, it is really difficult for them.

Because being considered a great achievement by Great Elder Han Li is not an easy thing. At least it has a huge impact on Xiaoji Palace.

It would be easier to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul than this.

Of course, there is another way, which is Zhao Shuang.

However, if there are no accidents, getting it from Zhao Shuang is even more difficult than breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

After all, the entire Xiaoji Palace was exchanged for a whole vein of ten thousand year old black jade. They would be lucky if they could get a few pieces of ten thousand year old black jade, let alone a whole vein.

So, this path is totally impossible.
