Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 222 The Arrival of the Saint Qianqiu

On the Wanling Terrace
"I admit defeat. Fellow Daoist Zhao has great magical powers. I admire him."

After being at a disadvantage in the last move, the ancestor of the Long family chose to admit defeat very straightforwardly and did not continue to compete with Zhao Shuang.

Because he could see that he was no match for Zhao Shuang, there was naturally no need to humiliate himself.

Zhao Shuang, who won this match, also fulfilled his promise to the Gu family, and the first place in the Zhenling family returned to the Gu family. This made the Gu family's Fairy Xiaofeng's face flushed with excitement.

This unprecedented moment made her the most outstanding head of the Gu family, and she was grateful for her efforts during this period.

In this way, after returning to the Gu family, the elders of the Gu family will naturally no longer have any objections. For Fairy Xiaofeng, this can be said to be a complete way to hold her head high.

She had no idea how much pressure she was under when she had so many women from the Gu family serve Zhao Shuang. Now, she finally got what she wanted and made the Gu family the number one True Spirit family.

Maybe it is only three thousand years, but for the Gu family, it is enough to greatly increase their strength. Next time, maybe they can at least maintain the third place and fight for the first place.

At the very least, with the help of Zhao Shuang and the resources that the Gu family will be able to obtain later, it will be enough for her to advance to the fusion stage, or even become a master among the fusion stage cultivators, as long as Zhao Shuang is willing to teach her the magical powers he displays.

To learn these magical powers, she would probably have to pay a price, but as long as she could maintain the Gu family's status, it would all be worth it. Especially now that the demonic calamity was approaching, the more resources the Gu family could obtain, the better. Only in this way could the Gu family have a greater chance of surviving this demonic calamity.

In the past, we had to obey the orders of the Long family, but this time it is different. We are able to compete with them.

As for the thoughts of Fairy Xiaofeng of the Gu family, Zhao Shuang naturally didn't bother to care. He just wanted to fulfill his promise.

As he stepped down, as expected, the words of the Long family ancestor rang in his ears, making him smile slightly.

"On behalf of the entire Gu family, I would like to thank Brother Zhao. From now on, if Brother Zhao has any instructions, the Gu family will definitely agree and will not refuse."

When Fairy Xiaofeng saw Zhao Shuang step down from the stage, she hurried forward, bowed, and with a look of gratitude on her face, she thanked him and made a promise.

While speaking, her beautiful eyes were full of affection, which made people's heart beat fast.

Zhao Shuang just nodded slightly and smiled.

"Okay, fairy, just remember the promise you made today. I'll leave the rest to you. I'm a little tired, so I'll go take a rest."

"Well, that's natural."

Fairy Xiaofeng smiled sweetly, then ordered the two most outstanding and beautiful girls of the Gu family to serve Zhao Shuang, and went to rest.

As for serving Zhao Shuang, the women of the Gu family naturally had no objection. On the contrary, they were very envious of the two women of the same clan.

After all, they had gained many benefits from Zhao Shuang along the way. It would be even better if they could gain some more benefits before entering Qianling Cave.

But now it seems that it can only fall to the two beautiful women from the Gu family.

As for this kind of thing, Zhao Shuang naturally accepted everything and didn't care about it at all.

Anyway, there are only benefits for him, and he really needs a good rest.

This will help you recover faster, and naturally you will be less likely to refuse.

Compared with Zhao Shuang, the Lin family, Lao family and other True Spirit families did not look very happy.

Fortunately, it did not fall out of the top five of the True Spirit Family. It was just a simple position change and the benefits were not greatly damaged.

The Long family had no objections. Even the ancestors of the Long family were no match for Zhao Shuang, so what objections could they have?

Seeking external assistance is allowed, but it often comes at a huge cost, and it also needs to be guaranteed to be no worse than the cultivators in the fusion stage of one's own family.

The number of cultivators in the fusion stage of the entire human race is limited, especially those in the late fusion stage, who can be counted on two hands. Naturally, it is even more difficult for them to get external assistance.

Therefore, the other True Spirit families were extremely envious and jealous of the Gu family for being able to get help from Zhao Shuang.

As for the price paid by the Gu family, it was insignificant compared to the benefits they gained.

Those who had originally intended to laugh at the Gu family, a family of true spirits, now began to envy them.

Moreover, these "costs" also bring huge benefits, which makes them even more envious.

Zhao Shuang was naturally unaware of the envy of the True Spirit families, big and small. Currently, he was practicing with the two beautiful women from the Gu family to recover his consumed True Energy and Mana.

In this way, they practiced all the way until the evening, and only ended after Fairy Xiaofeng and the woman from the Gu family came on stage and begged for mercy.

As for where they went, it was naturally the place he had agreed with the ancestor of the Long family.

This place has been known for a long time: the Hall of All Souls.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits, he was greeted by Elder Hui of the Long family. It was obvious that he had been waiting for Zhao Shuang here for a long time.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long,"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang chuckled.

"You are too polite, Brother Zhao. Please come in."

Elder Hui said very politely.

After all, Zhao Shuang defeated the ancestor of the Long family. He knew he was no match for his opponent, so of course he would be more polite.

After saying this, he led the way.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang nodded slightly and followed closely.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a rather hidden side hall on the side of the main hall.

At this moment, there were already three people sitting in this side hall. As soon as they saw Zhao Shuang coming in, they all looked at Zhao Shuang at the same time.

In addition to the ancestor of the Long family, the other two are the girl in feathered clothes from the Ye family, the ancestor of the Ye family, and the ancestor of the Lin family.

The man with long hair and a silver ring on his head who was described by Zhao Shuang as neither male nor female.

Now, with the addition of Zhao Shuang and the man surnamed Hui, there are five cultivators in the fusion stage in this small side hall alone. This is a strong force in any place among the human and demon races.

Even for the entire spiritual world, it was similar. Seeing Zhao Shuang following the cultivator surnamed Hui, the girl in feathered clothing, the ancestor of the Ye family, smiled at Zhao Shuang, appearing somewhat quirky and clever. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was a young girl of 28, but in reality, she was an old monster who had lived for who knows how long.

As for the Lin family's ancestor, the man with long hair, he looked at Zhao Shuang with a bit more hostility, but he didn't reveal much. Anyway, he didn't have a good impression of Zhao Shuang.

"Brother Zhao is finally here. I thought he was reluctant to come, haha."

The ancestor of the Long family laughed and said.

"Well! Sorry to have kept Brother Long waiting for a long time."

Seeing this, he didn't care about the attitude of the Lin family ancestor at all. Then, he walked to the side of the table calmly and sat down calmly.

As for the cultivator surnamed Hui, he calmly sat down next to the ancestor of the Long family.

"Old Monster Long. You invited so many of us here this time. Tell me quickly, what is the purpose?"

The Lin family's ancestor, the man with long hair, seemed a little impatient with Zhao Shuang's arrival and was unwilling to stay with Zhao Shuang for long.

But it is not a good idea to leave directly. In this way, not only will he offend the ancestor of the Long family, but he will also offend Zhao Shuang.
It's okay to offend Zhao Shuang, but he doesn't want to offend the ancestor of the Long family, nor does he want to offend because of such a small matter.

"Brother Lin, don't worry. I have someone else to introduce to you, and then I will explain everything. Don't worry, fellow Taoists."

Seeing this, the ancestor of the Long family chuckled and said indifferently.

"Oh, could it be those two guys from the Feng family? They shouldn't be here. After all, they were beaten so badly by Brother Zhao that they probably won't be able to recover within a thousand years. Really, it's just a competition. If you lose, you lose. It won't lower your ranking much anyway. You insisted on talking nonsense and angered Brother Zhao. Now you deserve a lesson."

Hearing this, the girl in feathered clothes blinked her eyes. Unable to respond to the question from the man with disheveled hair, the ancestor of the Lin family, she spoke first and asked with a smile.

"Fairy Ye guessed wrong. Not to mention they're seriously injured, even if they weren't, they're no longer within my consideration. Besides, the guests I wanted to invite have already arrived. Fellow Daoist Qianqiu, please come and meet everyone."

The ancestor of the Long family shook his head, and then said something to a seemingly deserted corner in the side hall.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked towards the ancestor of the Long family.

Except for Zhao Shuang, no one else noticed it.

The other people mentioned are actually just the girl in feathered clothes, the ancestor of the Ye family, and the man with loose hair, the ancestor of the Lin family.

The ancestor of the Long family and the man surnamed Hui both knew in advance who the guest was.

Afterwards, under the gazes of everyone in the side hall, an extremely faint breath was emitted from a slightly dim corner of the side hall, followed by a flash of yellow light, and a yellow bronze mirror appeared out of thin air.

The mirror then blurred and deformed slightly, and miraculously turned into a girl in a yellow robe.

"The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Tribe! Brother Long, why did you invite an alien race?"

Seeing this scene, the Lin family's ancestor, the man with long hair, was the first to sit still and question.

After all, the relationship between the human race and the spirit race is not very good. But it is not too bad either. Even so, the Lin family ancestor with long hair still recognized the other party at a glance, which means that he also participated in the last Wanbao Conference.
"Fellow Daoist Lin and the others, don't be surprised. Saint Qianqiu is here precisely for the important matter I invited her to. Without the Saint's intervention, this would have been impossible."

Compared to the surprise of the man with disheveled hair, the ancestor of the Lin family was unusually calm.

As for the others, Zhao Shuang looked at them with a smile, which made Saint Qianqiu feel a little uncomfortable, and she didn't say much. The smile on the face of the girl in feathered clothes, the ancestor of the Ye family, disappeared. As for the man with disheveled hair, the ancestor of the Lin family, he snorted coldly and said no more.

He is also the one with the worst attitude.

"There's no need to be so reserved. Actually, I do have some connections with the nobility. To be honest, my true form is a treasure that the noble Cantian Zhenren once carried with him. It was only many years after his death that I was fortunate enough to awaken my spiritual wisdom and become a member of the Qi Spirit Clan."

Saint Qianqiu had anticipated everyone's attitude, so she bowed gracefully to them and spoke with great grace.

"Master Cantian? Could he be the Mahayana being who founded Tianyuan City in ancient times?"

Hearing this, the girl in feathered clothes from the Ye family was stunned, but immediately showed a hint of surprise and said.

After all, this ancient human ancestor has a close relationship with their Ye family.

"Yes, it is this lord. Otherwise, how could Qianqiu be sent to the nobles as an envoy of the Eldar Alliance?"

Saint Qianqiu smiled slightly.

"What alliance? When did this happen? Why have we never heard of it?"

The Lin family's ancestor, the man with long hair, frowned, obviously surprised.

I didn't doubt it, after all, there was no way something like this could go wrong.

"This matter was jointly agreed upon and signed by me on the Noble Holy Island with the Noble Tianyuan Saint Emperor, the Black Tortoise Overlord, and several other late-stage Great Accomplishment cultivators. However, due to other reasons, it will take some time to officially announce it. By then, my fellow Daoists will naturally know that what I said is true."

Hearing the question, Saint Qianqiu smiled sweetly and explained slowly.

"However, your appearance at the Wanbao Conference and the alliance between the human race, the demon race and your spirit race are not surprising. But, Brother Long, bringing the saint girl into the Wanling Valley is still a bit too rash. After all, this is where the True Spirit family and I hold our grand ceremony!" The face of the girl in feathered clothes, the ancestor of the Ye family, still did not look much better.

"Don't worry, Fairy Ye. I was invited into the valley by Brother Long just after the True Spirit Ceremony. And, as soon as we finish discussing important matters, I will leave immediately."

Saint Qianqiu continued to smile as she explained.

"If that's the case, that's good. However, you have to tell me in detail what the big event you are talking about is." The girl in feathered clothes, the ancestor of the Ye family, frowned and said with a sigh.

The Lin family's ancestor's long-haired man's eyes flashed a few times, and then his expression relaxed a little and he sat down. However, just as he sat down, the ancestor of the Long family's next words made him jump up again.

"It's not something extremely important or difficult. I just want to make an agreement with a few fellow Taoists. After the demonic disaster breaks out and the ancient demon world and the spirit world merge into one, we will go deep into the demon world!"

"Go deep into the demon world! Old Monster Long, are you getting senile? Even if you really want to die, you don't have to take us with you!" The man with long hair jumped up and roared in shock and anger.
On the contrary, the girl in feathered clothes, the ancestor of the Ye family, seemed to understand something and her face became gloomy and uncertain.

As for Zhao Shuang, he already knew everything, so he naturally didn't say anything more, and his expression didn't change at all.

After all, this was his long-standing plan. Even if today's incident had not happened, he would have entered the Demon Realm. The resources he needed were too huge, and he had to enter the Soul Washing Pool before he could break through.

Therefore, he must go to this demon world. No one can stop him, and he will not change this plan.

Now they can only be regarded as taking a ride, and with him around, the group will be much safer.
The only thing he needs to worry about is Baohua, the ancestor who may appear at any time and wants to use him to restore his strength.

Although he was strong enough to handle it, it was still a problem. He didn't want to break up with Baohua, so he just wanted to be on good terms with her. After all, there were things that needed their cooperation to complete.
