Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 147: Xiaoji Palace Feast

"Then it depends on Brother Zhao's ability."

Old Monster Feng laughed.

"How is the royal Ye family doing now?"

Old Monster Bai from Taiyi Sect asked at this time.

"Depending on the remaining influence of Fellow Daoist Zhao, several major sects, such as Yueyang Palace and Xueqimen, have completely surrendered to the royal Ye family. Furthermore, the Ye family obtained a celestial magical treasure from Fellow Daoist Zhao: the Eight Spirit Ruler. Their own strength is no longer that of any other sect. Furthermore, to find you, the Ye family would need to integrate the resources of the entire Dajin cultivation world. It is almost impossible to attack the Ye family."

Hu Lao Mo said with a slightly ugly expression.

After all, in the past, the ten major sects of both the righteous and evil paths never took the royal Ye family seriously.

But now we have to take it seriously. With the current strength of the Ye family, we can completely perish together with two or three of the ten major sects of both the righteous and evil paths.

In addition, he has won over many sects and immortal cultivation families, large and small, such as the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, Yueyang Palace, Momu Palace, and Xueqimen. He is no longer the one that the top ten of both the righteous and evil paths are willing to offend.

In the past, the royal Ye family was almost a puppet supported by the ten major sects of both the righteous and evil paths, and could be dispatched and used at will, but now they no longer have this ability.

Not to mention that Zhao Shuang is still in the Dajin immortal world and has given the Tongtian Lingbao to the royal Ye family. Just relying on the Tongtian Lingbao, the royal Ye family is enough to fight against any of the top ten sects of both the righteous and evil paths, except for the Taiyi Sect and the Tianmo Sect which have cultivators in the God Transformation Stage, or even two or three sects.

Therefore, even the Taiyi Sect and the Tianmo Sect were unwilling to go against the royal Ye family at this time.

Especially since we need the royal Ye family to help collect He Fang's materials, it is even more impossible.

Of course, the most important thing is: Zhao Shuang.

Although this number one person in the human world has little to do with the royal Ye family, Zhao Shuang did give the Tongtian Lingbao Eight Spirit Ruler to the royal Ye family after all.

In this situation, who would dare to offend the royal Ye family?

"Now we still need the Ye family's help to collect the materials needed for the entire formation, so don't mention anything more."

"But, is there any news about the space node?"

Xiang Zhili asked.

He and Hu Lao Mo were researching and arranging formations in Kunwu Mountain, and were not very clear about spatial nodes and matters in the outside world.

"There's no news. The spatial nodes that Dajin once appeared in have all disappeared. If we want to find them, we can only go to other areas. The Tiannan Xiuxian Realm is not an option. If we enter casually, we are very likely to offend Fellow Daoist Zhao."

Old Monster Feng, who had been outside, spoke.

Although the Yinluo Sect was destroyed, the Taiyi Sect, the Tianmo Sect, and even most of the immortal cultivation sects and families in Dajin would not challenge his orders. However, the spatial node was of great importance, so they did not allow everyone to know about it, and only informed their most trusted descendants.

Of course, even if they were told, it would be of no consequence. After all, only cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage could enter. If cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage entered, it would be a dead end.

Therefore, they don’t need to worry, but even if they are not worried, they still cannot let too many people know.

"Then let's leave the Tiannan Xiuxian Realm alone for now and search in other areas. After all, there's more than just the Tiannan Xiuxian Realm."

Xiang Zhili said,

He felt quite regretful. He always felt that he had seen Zhao Shuang in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, but he was not sure where.

He really regretted it. If he had known about Zhao Shuang's existence earlier, he would never have let him go.

"Okay, I'll arrange for my disciples to go to other areas right away, hoping to find the location of the spatial node as soon as possible. The old demon Che of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley has also arranged for the transformed demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley to search for it. I just don't know if it's whereabouts yet."

Old Monster Feng nodded.

"Old Demon Che from the Ten Thousand Demon Valley seems to be eager to return to the spirit world."

Xiang Zhili chuckled.

The old demon Che in the Wan Yao Valley of Dajin is not a demon beast from the human world, but a demon beast from the spiritual world that followed the cultivators from the spiritual world in ancient times.

However, he forgot to go back and lost his relevant memories. Even though he has now advanced to the God Transformation Stage, his life span is not long.

Naturally, I want to return to the spiritual world as soon as possible.

"Old Demon Che has lived for tens of thousands of years. Even if he is at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, his lifespan is only one or two thousand years at most. Naturally, he wants to return to the Spirit World."

Old Monster Bai sneered.

It is obvious that he has some grudge with Che Laoyao from Wan Yao Valley.

"good."

"By the way. Do you think Fellow Daoist Zhao has any treasures that can help increase the number of spatial nodes he can pass through? For example, that Black Wind Flag, according to ancient texts, is a spatial magical treasure. I believe it can be of some use."

Old Monster Bai changed the subject again.

"Don't even think about it. Even if it really exists, it's not something we can covet."

Xiang Zhili shattered Old Monster Bai's idea.

"Yes! It's not something we can covet. However, when Fellow Daoist Zhao can break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, with his help, our chances of passing will definitely be much greater."

Hu Lao Mo also responded.

"He probably won't come with us. He's only five or six hundred years old now, so he has a much longer lifespan. Plus, with all the treasures and magical powers he possesses, it's entirely possible for him to break through to the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He asked us to help set up the formation to eliminate the ancient demonic energy in Kunwu Mountain. I'm afraid he wants to stay in Kunwu Mountain to cultivate and utilize the vast spiritual energy there to break through to the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

"If nothing unexpected happens to him, he will definitely become the only cultivator in ten thousand years to break through the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Since he can ascend directly, there is no need for him to take the risk of passing through this space node and ascending to the spiritual world."

Old Monster Bai analyzed.

"That should be the case. With the magical powers and strength he possesses, he definitely has a chance of breaking through to the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

Xiang Zhili also nodded in agreement.

There was envy in his tone.

After all, if they can ascend directly, no one would be willing to take the risk of death. Entering the space node to ascend to the spiritual world is too risky and far exceeds all their previous experiences.

"Yes, that's really enviable."

Old Monster Feng also nodded in agreement.

For the four of them in the Spirit Transformation Stage, it was impossible not to be envious.

Isn’t the purpose of practicing for a lifetime to ascend to the spiritual world on this day?

However, they were completely unable to do so due to the lack of spiritual energy in the human world. The most direct reason was that they did not have enough lifespan, so they could only take the risk of ascending to the spiritual world with the help of space nodes.

"Then we really don't want to take a gamble?"

Old Monster Feng suddenly added another sentence.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three people changed slightly, and hesitation appeared in their eyes.

After all, if they obtained the treasures, skills, magical powers, and opportunities from Zhao Shuang, they might be able to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and ascend to the spiritual world without having to take risks anymore.

Space nodes are too dangerous.
"But what are our chances of winning if we join forces?"

Xiang Zhili said very calmly.

They have discussed this matter several times.

At the same time, Xiang Zhili's words, like cold water, woke up the other three Jinhua cultivators. They looked at each other in confusion, and no one mentioned this topic again.

At the same time, Zhao Shuang and Lin Yinping, along with Master Han Li and the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, had arrived at the Xiaoji Palace's Ten Thousand Years Black Jade Mine.

This Xuanyu Cave was formed by a rare vein of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanyu. These exotic materials, several times colder than ten-thousand-year-old black ice, were the size of rice grains and scattered across both sides of the cave, flashing with a cold, milky white light. The deeper one descended, the more intense this cold light became.

The place where they were all located was right at the bottom of the Xuanyu Cave, which was hundreds of feet wide.

In addition, there is a fiery red stone house with several openings on the surrounding walls. Obviously, it is not the appearance of this cave.

The black jade cold air here was obviously several times denser than the one above where they had just come in. In the center of the pile of rocks, on top of a natural boulder, the gathered milky white cold air actually formed a huge ball of light with a diameter of several feet, which was rolling and sparkling on the boulder!
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, as agreed, the Palace Master and I have brought you here. However, we will not help you remove the ten-thousand-year-old black jade from this black jade vein. You will need to rely on yourself for this."

Master Han Li paused, his face etched with reluctance as he spoke. "Of course, my fellow Daoists, please leave! I have my own way of retrieving this Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade. However, rest assured, I won't take it all. If it weren't for its immense importance in dispelling the ancient demonic energy within Kunwu Mountain, I wouldn't have come here."

Zhao Shuang nodded and agreed with a smile.

"In that case, we will say goodbye and leave."

After hearing Zhao Shuang's reply, Master Han Li and Xiaoji Palace Master Liu Yao looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded.

"Okay, fellow Taoists, please make yourselves at ease!"

Zhao Shuang nodded and smiled.

"Ok!"

Upon seeing this, Master Han Li, Xiaoji Palace Master Liu Yao, Bai Mengxin and the middle-aged man all left the Xuanyu Cave, leaving only Zhao Shuang and Lin Yinping.

"My dear husband, how do you plan to take the ten thousand year old black jade from the Black Jade Cave? Do you need my help?"

Lin Yinping couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

After saying that, he slapped his storage bag and a small white bottle appeared in his hand.

Then, under Lin Yinping's curious gaze, he deftly opened the bottle cap, a white light flashed on his hand, and he used his magic power to force a drop of ink-black liquid out of the bottle.

The droplet emitted a faint gray gas and flew towards another black jade in the pile of stones.

As a result, as soon as the droplet touched the black jade, it disappeared like a drop of water in the sea.

The black jade was instantly covered with a layer of gray, and then it made a crisp sound and fell off the stone by itself, and was grabbed by Zhao Shuang.

"What kind of divine water is this that can remove this ten thousand year old black jade so easily?"

Lin Yinping exclaimed.

"This water is called Yinming Water. It can turn rocks into gold. It is incredibly magical. Only this water can remove the Xuanyu from this cave intact. Xiaoji Palace also has a treasure that can condense this water, but it takes ten years to condense a single drop. Suddenly, the Xuanyu Cave is opened only once every thousand years, and each time, only a small amount of Xuanyu can be taken out."

Zhao Shuang began to explain.

"Okay, I'll leave the task of taking the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade to you. I'll go to the Sun Spirit House first and make some preparations."

Zhao Shuang stuffed the jade bottle into Lin Yinping's hand and walked towards the Sun Spirit House not far away.

This solar essence house is translucent throughout, flashing red light and emitting a scorching hot aura, as if it were made of a pile of fire spirit stones.

"Okay, just leave it to me."

Lin Yinping naturally would not refuse this matter.

Zhao Shuang had already entered the stone house, and there was nothing inside.

However, the cold air from the dark jade that was raging outside was completely unable to penetrate the house and enter it.

……

Almost at the same time, back on the surface, Master Han Li of Xiaoji Palace, Palace Master Liu Yao of Xiaoji Palace and others were in a huge attic.

The Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, Liu Yao, was sitting elegantly on a wooden chair. In front of her, sitting on the other chairs were Master Han Li, Bai Mengxin, and the middle-aged man.

"The matter of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade is completed. You must prepare the cold flame that Fellow Daoist Zhao wants."

Liu Yaotan, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, spoke softly.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes. After all, abandoning Han Yan would definitely be a major loss of vitality for Master Han Li, Bai Mengxin and the middle-aged man.

"This old man has made some preparations. Although it will cost some energy, it shouldn't be a big loss."

Master Han Li nodded.

"It's the same with me."

Bai Mengxin followed closely behind, but her face was even paler, almost transparent.

"Same to my little brother."

The middle-aged man also smiled bitterly.

……

The next day, after taking away most of the ten thousand year old black jade, Zhao Shuang and Lin Yinping left the Black Jade Cave and returned to the main hall of Xiaoji Palace.

The first person to give up Han Yan was naturally Master Han Li, the great elder of Xiaoji Palace.

Zhao Shuang did not hesitate to refine the cold flame: Qianlan Ice Flame.

Then the middle-aged man did the same thing, without any hesitation.

Finally, there is Bai Mengxin, the beautiful lady.

"Fairy Bai, I have a secret method that can remove the cold flame in your body without damaging your vitality. I wonder if you are willing to try it. Moreover, it can also help you break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and become a great cultivator."

Zhao Shuang seemed very polite to the beauty and smiled.

"Secret method? A dual cultivation method, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengxin frowned slightly and understood Zhao Shuang's secret method almost in the blink of an eye.

"Fairy, your vision is as sharp as a torch. I admire you. I wonder if you are willing?"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang chuckled and admitted it.

"Okay, I agree. I hope you will show me mercy."

Bai Mengxin took a deep breath and agreed without much hesitation.

……

Dozens of days later, Zhao Shuang, having gotten what he wanted, finally left Bai Mengxin's cave.

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean to help me break through the Spiritual Transformation Stage?"

After hearing what Zhao Shuang said, Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, was a little surprised and suspicious.

"Yes, this secret method will be of great benefit to both you and me in breaking through the Spirit Transformation Stage. I wonder if the Palace Master agrees?" Zhao Shuang said.

"Does this palace have any other options?"

Hearing this, Liu Yao, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace, smiled helplessly and said.

"It seems not, unless the Palace Master does not want to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

Zhao Shuang said with his smile still on his face.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Zhao."

The Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace said softly with blushing cheeks.

"Of course, Palace Master, don't worry."

Zhao Shuang chuckled and agreed.

……

Another few dozen days passed, and the next one would be Bai Yaoyi.

A grand banquet was held in Xiaoji Palace!
