If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 175 Arrival at the Mine, Layout
In the mine, I know that there is no one.

Due to the reasons between Shen Bai and Dongfang Li, and the fact that the mine is a big deal now, the area had been cleared out in advance.

At this moment, a trace of breath continued to emerge from the round hole in the ground.

"This aura seems very familiar." Shen Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.

For some reason, he always felt that this aura was very familiar, as if he had seen it before.

When this breath came out, sweat broke out on Fan Kai's forehead and he felt exhausted all over.

The ability of the surveyors is to survey all kinds of mysterious things. The more mysterious the thing being surveyed is, the higher the price they will pay.

Since there might be something extremely dangerous inside, Fan Kai was very careful and spent a lot of effort when digging this small hole.

Dongfangli also noticed a breath coming out, and then he pointed in the air.

A mysterious word floated in the air, and then dispersed the aura.

"Seal this cave and slow down the mining matters first." Dongfangli said with a very serious expression.

When Fan Kai saw Dongfang Li's serious look, he immediately followed Dongfang Li's instructions and sealed the small round hole.

"Brother Fan, thank you very much for this matter. Go back to the government office and have a rest first. The matter of the mine needs to be considered in detail." Dongfangli continued.

Anyone could see that Dongfang Li's expression was very wrong at this moment, as if the aura he had just leaked was extremely terrifying.

"He seems to know something." Shen Bai thought to himself.

But Dongfang Li said nothing at this moment, and Shen Bai didn't dare to ask any further questions, so he remained silent.

"All of you, stay here at the mine and guard it. If you see any unknown individuals, arrest them immediately."

Dongfangli looked at the captain next to him and said, "Remember, no matter life or death."

After receiving this order, the captain of the police knew that the matter was serious.

He quickly agreed and immediately arranged his men to start defending the surrounding area.

Because the breath was quickly dispersed by Dongfang Li, even though Shen Bai felt it was very familiar, he was unable to sense it carefully.

At this time, Dongfangli turned around and said, "Master Shen, let's go back to Nanxing Mansion together. I have something to tell you in detail."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Okay."

He knew that the matter was no small matter.

In that case, let’s talk about it after we get back, so that there won’t be any eavesdroppers around.

Afterwards, Shen Bai and Dongfang Li left the mine and headed towards Nanxing Prefecture.

……

When we came back, it was already afternoon.

Shen Bai did not return to the Jiantian Division, but went to the government office with Dongfang Li.

As soon as they arrived at the government office, Dongfangli dismissed the people around them and took Shen Bai to the pavilion in the backyard of the government office.

The outer courtyard of the yamen was generally used for official business, while the inner courtyard was where the heads of the major yamen lived.

Several maids prepared to bring a pot of wine, but Dongfang Li refused.

There was no one around, so Shen Bai asked all the questions in his mind.

"Lord Dongfang seems to be very familiar with that aura?" Shen Bai asked.

Since both of them have come to this place, Dongfangli must have something to say to him.

When Shen Bai asked this question, as expected, Dongfang Li showed a serious look on his face and recounted the whole story in detail.

"Sir Shen, that is a disease, an extremely terrifying disease. If my guess is correct, it may be the remains of the Hundred True Gentlemen." Dongfang Li's expression became more and more solemn.

A true gentleman?

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this name. Who is it?"

He had not been in Nanxing Prefecture for very long, so there were many things he did not understand.

But now that Dongfangli has brought it up, it will definitely be explained clearly.

Dongfangli organized his words briefly before saying, "Junzi Baizhen was once the number one person in Nanxing Prefecture a long time ago. His strength was at the peak of the Huaxu realm, and no one in Nanxing Prefecture could defeat him. But he is now dead."

died?

Shen Bai frowned and said, "If he was in the Void Transformation Realm, his lifespan would have been extremely long. Why did he die? Was it an accident?"

The higher the level of strength of a cultivator, the longer his life span will be. This is a recognized fact in the martial arts world.

Especially after one's strength reaches the realm of emptiness, one will have an extremely long lifespan.

At this level, as long as you don't commit suicide and just keep developing, you will basically not die prematurely.

But now Dongfangli told Shen Bai that this gentleman Baizhen was actually dead.

That's outrageous. It's fucking outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.

Dongfangli nodded and said, "Yes, as Lord Shen said, after reaching the Void Transformation Realm, lifespan does become extremely long, but Baizhen Gentleman is different. The difference lies in the cultivation method he practices."

"The Hundred True Essentials are the techniques practiced by the Hundred True Gentlemen. They embrace the world's techniques with the Hundred True bodies."

"Every time you practice a technique, you can incorporate it into a part of your body for cultivation, until hundreds of techniques are integrated into your entire body."

Speaking of this, Dongfangli's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.

"So strong?"

Shen Bai was also a little surprised: "Such an extremely powerful technique must have side effects."

There is no free lunch in the world. If it is really as Dongfang Li said, why did this Baizhen gentleman die?
Dongfangli paused and said, "That's right. The side effects are so severe that it's hard to imagine."

"The further you practice, the stronger the impact of each technique becomes. Bai Zhen Junzi knew he was facing the risk of exploding and dying, so he began to think of a solution."

"He used medicine as a buffer and tried to integrate all his body techniques, but that only treated the symptoms and not the root cause."

"In the later stages, all the skills exploded at once, unexpectedly transforming into an unknown disease in the blink of an eye, leading to his untimely death."

"At that time, a doctor went to treat the patient, but he became infected and disappeared without a trace."

"Knowing his death was near, the Hundred True Gentleman informed everyone in Nanxing Prefecture that he would hide in an unknown location to prevent his body from becoming a source of disease after death."

Sick body?

Now, Shen Bai finally knew what that breath was.

He has the ability to avoid poison and restore his soul, and he has also gained a new attribute to break illness.

It can be said that Shen Bai also has some insights in the field of disease.

That breath was mixed with disease, no wonder Dongfangli dispersed it quickly.

After all, if the aura leaks out, I'm afraid that people will die.

However, the word "sick body" reminded Shen Bai of what happened in the Hundred Doctors Valley in Fenglin Province.

At the beginning, Valley Master Lin was trapped by the sick body and almost made a big mistake.

Now Dongfangli told him that a sick corpse had disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the whole thing, Shen Bai felt that the sick body that had disappeared might be the one in Fenglin State.

"Sir Shen, if people knew that the remains of Master Baizhen were in the mine, I'm afraid there would be a big commotion." Dongfang Li's eyes were filled with sadness.

Shen Bai touched his chin and asked, "Is this matter serious?"

Dongfangli nodded and said, "It's very serious. No one would have thought that the Hundred True Gentleman would use the mineral vein to suppress his own body. Now it seems that the body has regained consciousness, or perhaps has become strange. Many people want this body."

"If I can break the disease of my crippled body, I might be able to obtain the skills of the Hundred True Gentlemen."

Shen Bai frowned and said, "Someone wants a technique with such drawbacks?"

This kind of martial arts can cost you your life if you are not careful.

Shen Bai felt that obtaining this kind of martial arts technique was not a good thing, but rather a bad thing.

Dongfang Li smiled bitterly and said, "Practicing in this world is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even if a technique has major drawbacks, there will always be people who think they can unlock the secret."

"If the drawbacks can be solved, just imagine that hundreds of techniques can be integrated into one, and one can truly reach the level of being invincible at the same level."

"He's only invincible at the same level." Shen Bai said.

He felt that being invincible at the same level was not such a good thing.

After all, overcoming adversity is the most exciting thing.

Compared to this, Baizhen Gongfa is far inferior to his own golden finger.

Dongfang Li's mouth twitched slightly: "Not everyone can overcome adversity like Lord Shen. To be invincible at the same level is already a unique existence."

He really wanted to say that Shen Bai was taking being invincible at the same level too lightly.

The Baizhen gentleman created the Baizhen technique by combining the strengths of hundreds of schools. It is already a rare thing, but Shen Bai seems to be accustomed to it.

Simply outrageous.

Shen Bai said: "In fact, the evil forces here may have already set their sights on Bai Zhen's remains."

This matter is very simple. If you think about it carefully, everything that has happened recently is related to the mine.

Under the mine, the remains of Bai Zhen are suppressed. If someone says that no one knows about it, Shen Bai will be the first one to not believe it.

Dongfangli nodded when he heard Shen Bai say this, "As Brother Shen said, it is indeed so. The recent incidents alone have attracted a lot of attention. I am afraid that other evil forces have already set their sights on Bai Zhen's body. If they were to dig it out, not to mention other things, the illnesses of Bai Zhen's body alone would be hard to guard against, and it would cause heavy casualties among the people."

The remnant of Baizhen was the product of the cultivation of Baizhen Junzi. When he used medicine to treat the hundreds of skills, all of them turned into serious diseases, and his entire body was filled with terrifying pathogens.

It is also because of this that if Bai Zhen’s remains appear in the world, it may cause serious losses to those who practice cultivation.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Master Dongfang, please place your constable there first. I will go back and arrange for the people from the Jiantian Division to pick them up. This matter is temporarily under the Jiantian Division's jurisdiction."

According to the rules, this matter has now fallen on the shoulders of the Tianjian Division, and there is no reason for Shen Bai to delay.

He planned to start arranging this trip to the mine immediately after returning.

Dongfangli nodded and said, "If Lord Shen is ever short of manpower, you can come to the yamen to find me at any time. I can assign you a constable to help you."

Shen Bai nodded, indicating that he already knew.

Dongfangli pondered for a moment, then said, "Lord Shen, you must be careful. There's more than one evil force on the other side. Even a righteous force like the Holy Fist Sect can be tempted. It's conceivable that there are probably many enemies lurking in the dark."

The temptation of Bai Zhen's remains is too great. Even if one is at the Huaxu realm, he probably can't help but try to comprehend the key points of it. After all, he was once the number one person in Nanxing Prefecture, and he was truly invincible in the entire Nanxing Prefecture.

Just the three words "first person" are enough to drive people crazy.

So Dongfangli was extremely worried.

Shen Bai stood up and said, "The matter is urgent, so I won't stay in the government office any longer. Lord Dongfang, I will take my leave for now."

"Don't worry about the mineral deposits for now. Once the matter of Bai Zhen's remains is settled, it won't be too late for Lord Dongfang to start mining."

Dongfangli nodded and said, "I understand. Lord Shen, take care."

Shen Bai did not stay any longer, left the yamen and walked towards the Jiantian Division.

……

The sun has set, and there is a hazy light in the sky, which is gradually fading.

Night gradually swept across the entire sky, replacing the day.

The bright sunshine turned into a quiet scene like a black cloth.

At this moment, Shen Bai took advantage of the scattered moonlight in the sky and came to the Tianjian Division, where he happened to meet Fang Tong who was about to leave.

Fang Tong went to do a mission first, which was quite difficult. He had just returned at this time and unexpectedly met Shen Bai by chance.

Fang Tong stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Master Shen, your trip to the mine should have gone smoothly, right?"

He just mentioned it casually, but when he subconsciously saw Shen Bai's expression out of the corner of his eye, he felt something was wrong.

Because Shen Bai's expression was a little serious.

"Could something have happened?" Fang Tong thought to himself.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Shen Bai's voice in his ears.

"Go and bring the two homeowners and the heads of the four divisions A, B, C, and D. There are important matters that need to be resolved. All other tasks can be put aside for the time being."

After saying that, Shen Bai walked directly towards the fifth-floor building without waiting for Fang Tong's reply.

Fang Tong was slightly stunned, then left the yard immediately without saying anything more.

When he saw Lord Shen's expression just now, he knew that this matter was by no means simple, so he carried out Shen Bai's orders meticulously.

Soon, in the five-story building, the owners of the Zheng and Wu houses, including the four neighbors Jia and Yi, had all gathered together.

They sat in Shen Bai's room with serious expressions, staring at Shen Bai intently, waiting for Shen Bai to continue speaking.

Although no one knew what had happened, just by looking at Shen Bai's expression at the moment, everyone knew that it was definitely a big deal.

Shen Bai drank a sip of tea, and then told Dongfang Li everything he had talked about.

After putting down his teacup, he looked around and observed everyone's expressions.

Everyone present fell silent.

Everyone could not hide the shock in their eyes.

The four words "Bai Zhen Can Body" were like a bombshell to Nanxing Prefecture.

When it explodes, it will cause enormous aftermath.

Even the owner of the house and the head of one of the four departments of the Tianshi Division were deeply shocked at this moment.

Shen Bai knew that the news was shocking enough, so he did not disturb them, but poured himself a second pot of tea.

Looking at the steam in the teacup, he fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Zheng Xing was the first to react. He immediately bowed and said, "Master Shen, this matter is of great importance. We must arrange sufficient manpower to prevent Bai Zhen's remains from reappearing in the world. Otherwise, Nanxing Prefecture will be in chaos."

Wu Tian nodded and said, "This matter not only requires the cooperation of the Registration Office and the Resource Office, but also requires the deployment of elite personnel from the four departments A, B, C, and D. Otherwise, it will be difficult to quell the incident."

The two put forward their opinions, and the heads of the four groups A, B, C, and D also nodded, indicating that they agreed with the suggestions of the two homeowners.

After Shen Bai finished drinking the tea in the cup, he looked at Zheng Xing and began to give his orders as the head of the department.

This was the first time that such a solemn order had been issued since arriving in Nanxing Prefecture, and Shen Bai had naturally considered it carefully just now.

"The Resource Room will temporarily provide a large amount of resources to the members of the Heavenly Monitoring Division who are assigned tasks. Additionally, the Registration Room will be responsible for allocating tasks to a reasonable range. We cannot allow the remains of Bai Zhen to affect other tasks."

"Let's let the members who didn't participate in this mission work a little harder. Also, for the four divisions A, B, C, and D, Division A and B will each send half their members to be responsible for the defense of this mission. Contact the forces that are on good terms with the Tianjian Division and have them send some members to help."

This is not about wiping out the evil forces, nor is it about killing everyone we catch. It is just about guarding the mine and not letting anyone get close.

At least before the matter of Bai Zhen's remains comes to an end, there must be no trouble, so more manpower is needed.

It cannot be completed with just parts A and B.

They can fight, and each of them is at the Void Transformation Realm, but this does not mean that they have perfect guarding abilities.

The Tianjiansi is the top force in Nanxing Prefecture and also an official force. Naturally, there are many underworld forces that are close to the Tianjiansi. This is also Shen Bai’s plan.

Only in this way can we ensure that there are enough manpower and make every effort to limit the evil forces from coveting Bai Zhen's remaining body.

Everyone looked at each other and had no other opinions about Shen Bai's decision, so they all remained silent.

Seeing this, Shen Bai nodded and said, "If that's the case, then go down quickly. After counting the manpower, we will go to the mine tonight."

Time is very urgent, there is no time to explain in detail now, let’s talk about it after we get to the mine.

The strength of the yamen's constables is naturally much lower than that of the members of the Tianjiansi. Shen Bai would not feel at ease just letting the yamen's constables guard there.

After Shen Bai said this, everyone stood up and started to pack their things.

After they left, Shen Bai looked at his left hand and thought to himself, "It's said to be the remains of a hundred true beings, which means there's a great opportunity for me, but the hexagram is unclear, and I don't know what this great bond is."

"Maybe it's a weird thing or evil spirit."

Apart from these two points, Shen Bai couldn't think of a third reason.

After all, for me, the real opportunities are these two things.

Weird things are used to improve proficiency or gain new abilities, while weirdness is an important source of evil spirit for Shen Bai.

"So I can also participate in this mission and look for opportunities to see if I can get the best things. Even if it's just a few wisps of evil spirits, I need them now. After all, I just identified fifteen strange objects and I'm really short of evil spirits."

After making up his mind, Shen Bai stopped thinking about it and waited patiently in the room.

After the general content was finished, after an incense stick of time, hundreds of people had gathered outside the courtyard. Among these hundreds of people, each of them had the strength of the Huaxu realm, and some were even in the middle and late stages of the Huaxu realm, looking extremely powerful.

When Shen Bai arrived at the courtyard, everyone turned their eyes to Shen Bai with serious expressions on their faces.

In addition to seriousness, everyone's expression also contained a hint of deep excitement.

Ever since Shen Bai came to the Tianjian Division, some of the things he did have been seen by everyone.

They were also very respectful to Shen Bai.

This is the first time that Shen Bai has gathered so many masters, and everyone knows that an important task will be issued.

That's why they are so excited.

It has been a long time since the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjian Division has issued such an important task. Now that a big task has suddenly appeared, everyone's expression is not only excited, but also more of an anticipation.

After all, the Tianjian Division has been silent for too long, and the arrival of Lord Shen has allowed them to regain their former glory.

Shen Bai walked in front and then stood at the highest point.

Everyone turned their eyes to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai met everyone's gazes and slowly said, "Today we have an important mission. This mission requires everyone's joint efforts to protect the safety of the people of Nanxing Prefecture."

As he spoke, Shen Bai told him all the details of this mission.

When the four words "Bai Zhen Can Shen" appeared, everyone present widened their eyes.

They knew the meaning of these four words and understood the seriousness of this mission.

The leaders were naturally the heads of groups A, B, C, and D. They stood up, raised their hands, and spoke loudly and respectfully.

"I will definitely complete the mission and protect the safety of Nanxing Prefecture. Please rest assured, Lord Shen."

Two people took the lead, and the remaining members also bowed.

"Please rest assured, Lord Shen."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "In that case, let's set off."

Everyone received the order and then followed Shen Bai towards the location of the mine.

This matter is quite serious, so Shen Bai had to serve as the leader of this incident.

If Bai Zhen's remains really caused a major incident, he wouldn't be the only one in trouble.

Even the entire Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjian Division will be dragged into this vortex.

As for what to do, Shen Bai had already thought about it when he came.

By then, he can stay directly in the mine, improve his proficiency, and at the same time pay attention to all the movements in the mine, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After setting up camp, Shen Bai will also use the time to find out how to break the seal on Bai Zhen's remaining body.

After all, there is a great opportunity here, which is extremely important to him.

In addition, the technique of avoiding poison and restoring soul can solve this problem, so Shen Bai will certainly not let it go.

If there are a lot of strange things inside, it will be a huge improvement for Shen Bai.

The night is hazy and quiet.

Shen Bai and everyone else took advantage of the night and left Nanxing Prefecture without disturbing the people.

In addition to Shen Bai, Zheng Xing has already arrived at the yamen and informed Dongfangli to send some constables to guard the mine together.

And took Fan Kai away as well.

After all, Fan Kai is proficient in surveying methods, and Bai Zhen's remains are hidden in the mineral vein, which may be useful to Shen Bai.

With so many people protecting him, Dongfangli naturally felt at ease.

After Fan Kai finished his meal, he followed a group of constables and headed towards the location of the mine.

……

The mine, this place has been surrounded by people from the Astronomy Department and the government office.

A simple wooden house was quickly built thanks to the hard work of the members of the Tianjiansi.

As for the houses of other members, they have not been built yet.

This room is mainly Shen Bai's bedroom.

After all, he is the director of the Tianjiansi, so naturally he should have these treatments.

At this moment, Shen Bai and Fan Kai were sitting in the room, asking about the mine veins.

Fan Kai explained, "If Lord Shen wants to find the location of Bai Zhen's remains, the first thing he needs to do is to locate the mineral deposits. If he can't even locate the mineral deposits, he will never find them."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Of course I know about this. You are an expert in mineral exploration, so you should know better than me how to locate mineral deposits."

Just now, he had communicated with Fan Kai several times.

How to completely settle this incident?

The most important thing is to first determine the mineral deposits.

Otherwise, the mineral deposits may move at any time, causing great trouble to the subsequent settlement work.

But Shen Bai is not an expert on how to do it, so he can only let Fan Kai do it.

After hearing Shen Bai's words, Fan Kai fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he picked up a pen and paper from the side and began to write carefully on it.

Soon, the white paper was covered with densely packed small characters.

Fan Kai placed the white paper covered with small words in front of Shen Bai and said, "Master Shen, please take a look. If you want to completely solve the problem, you need the materials on this white paper."

Shen Bai picked up the white paper, took a quick look at it, and frowned slightly.

"The material here is extremely rare. What are you going to do with it?"

On the white paper, there is a list of a large number of materials, most of which are extremely rare minerals, and many of them are even specially used by practitioners.

For example, an ore called Hanyue Mine is the casting material of Hanyue in Shen Bai's hand.

He has the art of casting souls and is extremely skilled in casting, so he can tell the preciousness of it at a glance.

Fan Kai explained, "The surveyors have a wonderful secret method, which is to extract the most essential part of the ore and then inject it into the vein to form a prison cell made of ore."

"And what is imprisoned is the mineral vein itself, so only by using these ores can I use the mineral vein imprisonment method to completely stabilize the mineral deposit."

Shen Bai nodded, then shouted outside: "Yao Long, come in."

As Shen Bai shouted this, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door.

The middle-aged man, wearing the official uniform of the Tianshi Supervisor, bowed respectfully to Shen Bai and said, "Master Shen, what is your business? Please give me your instructions and I will definitely complete them."

Yao Long is the head of the A Division of the Tianjiansi, and is also the one who leads the A Division members on this mission.

Shen Bai handed the list in his hand to Yao Long and said, "How long will it take to collect all the materials above?"

Yao Long's face was solemn. He took the white paper from Shen Bai's hand, glanced at it roughly, and then said, "It will probably take about five days, Lord Shen. The materials on it are extremely rare, so even if it's urgent, it will take five days."

Shen Bai knew how precious the materials were, and he thought five days was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "You arrange for the constables from the yamen to handle this matter. They must make sure it's done properly."

"As for the members of the Heavenly Monitoring Division, they must remain stationed at the mines and must not move an inch."

It is appropriate to entrust the collection of ore to the constables of the yamen.

After all, their strength is weaker than that of the members of the Tianjian Division.

So Shen Bai's arrangement is appropriate.

Yao Long nodded, turned and left the wooden house.

After Yao Long left, Shen Bai continued to ask.

“If the vein is identified, how do we get down into it?”

Fan Kai said, "That's what we surveyors can do. We can dig a hole directly to the mineral vein. Lord Shen can lead the members of the Tianjian Division into it, reach the location of Bai Zhen's remains, and completely destroy them."

Destroying Bai Zhen's remaining body is the safest way.

When this treasure was coveted by everyone, when the treasure was gone, the covetousness naturally disappeared as well.

Jiantiansi didn't want to learn any of the Baizhen techniques, so destroying it would be the safest for the people of Nanxing Prefecture.

"In that case, thank you for your help." Shen Bai said.

Fan Kai quickly bowed and said, "It is my honor to be able to contribute to the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjian Division."

Shen Bai didn't say anything else, but raised his finger.

The black shadow kept flashing above the fingers.

The amber had already merged into his body, and smoke that only he could see appeared in front of his eyes.

The proficiency of Shadow Thousand Kills is gradually increasing.

[Shadow Thousand Kills +3+3+3...]

Seeing his proficiency increasing, Shen Bai felt relieved.

……

In the magnificent and solemn temple, Abbot Xuanzhen, wearing a jet-black robe, is waiting in the main hall.

A table covered with delicious food had already been placed in the main hall, and key figures of the Yefo Sect were sitting next to it.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.

An old Taoist priest walked in from outside with his hair crown tilted crookedly.

Behind him were two middle-aged Taoist priests, one fat and one thin.

When he walked in, Abbot Xuanzhen immediately pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Master Qihuang, how are you? Please take a seat."

Taoist Master Qihuang came and sat down opposite Abbot Xuanzhen, then stared at the dishes on the table without saying a word.

Next to them, two Taoist priests, one fat and one thin, were sitting around Taoist Master Qihuang, looking at each other with their eyes on the nose and their nose on the heart.

The field seemed a little deserted, and in the quiet environment, you could hear a pin drop.

Abbot Xuanzhen saw this scene, his lips curled slightly, and he clasped his hands together and said, "The Hundred True Remains is of great importance. Whoever can crack it will become invincible at the same level. The Ye Dao Sect and the Ye Fo Sect are as close as one, so I specially held this banquet and invited Taoist Master Qihuang to come to discuss this matter. I believe that the Ye Dao Sect has also been planning the matter of the Hundred True Remains recently."

Abbot Xuanzhen, the man sitting in front of him, was very clear about his influence in Nanxing Prefecture.

As a Taoist priest of the same rank as Qihuang, he controls the Yedao Sect of Nanxing Prefecture and is also a very troublesome existence for the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjiansi.

Taoist Master Qihuang's cultivation is at the peak of the Huaxu realm, and he can be said to be the top combat force in Nanxing Prefecture.

The reason he was called here today was naturally because of Bai Zhen's remaining body.

Abbot Xuanzhen was very knowledgeable. He knew that almost all the evil forces in Nanxing Prefecture were planning this thing, and it was impossible for him to swallow it all by himself.

Moreover, even if you swallow it, you may not be able to decipher the mystery behind it.

So it would be best to find another person to share this responsibility with him.

After Master Xuanzhen finished saying this, Taoist Master Qihuang finally spoke.

Taoist Qi Huang picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and put it into his mouth, his tone as calm as autumn water.

"I do have plans, Bai Zhen Cansheng, but I didn't expect you to actually cooperate with us. The idea that our two families are as close as one is just for show. In the face of absolute interests, all the talk of closeness is fake. State your purpose directly."

Abbot Xuanzhen did not show any reaction when he heard this.

The expressions of the monks around them were extremely ugly.

This time, the Ye Dao Men were indeed invited to come, so at this moment, Taoist Qi Huang seemed a bit rebellious.

Abbot Xuanzhen smiled and waved his hand to calm everyone down before saying, "I only have one question for you. Can you swallow the remains of Baizhen alone?"

After saying this, Taoist Qihuang's expression remained calm, but he still gave an answer.

"What if I can't swallow it?"

Abbot Xuanzhen continued, "Since we can't swallow it, why don't we cooperate and crack the secret of Baizhen's remains? It will benefit you, me, and everyone."

"What if I don't like it?"

Taoist Priest Qi Huang said calmly, "There is always a difference between Taoism and Buddhism. Although neither of us is a legitimate force, we all belong to different groups. How would I know if you have other plans, or if you are using the Wild Dao Sect as a stepping stone to overcome difficulties?"

Abbot Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "We need to have a plan. I heard that Taoist Qihuang's only son was captured by people from Xinhuo Academy. It seems that it was Piaoxu from the academy who used the method of collecting yang to replenish yin and killed him alive."

"In the end, this matter was left unresolved."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Priest Qi Huang showed a hint of anger on his face: "That bitch, relying on her sleeping skills, has become extremely powerful in Xinhuo Academy. I really can't do anything to her. Besides, this is something my son did that was not decent."

Abbot Xuanzhen chuckled, "With your temper, you can still admit this, so you must have been offended. The three factions in the Great Zhou Kingdom are already in a three-way balance of power. Why should you be offended by him?"

Taoist Priest Qi Huang frowned and said, "The topic you are talking about seems a bit off topic."

"Not biased, not biased."

Abbot Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "From what I've heard, it seems the academy is sending Piaoxu here to participate in this mission. I think this is a great opportunity. You received orders from above not to clash with Xinhuo Academy, but if Piaoxu accidentally dies in this fight, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you at all."

Taoist Priest Qi Huang frowned even deeper: "Speak more clearly, I don't like people who beat around the bush."

Abbot Xuanzhen laughed heartily and said, "Then I'll make it clear. If the two of us obtain Baizhen's remains, I can plan with you to bury Piaoxu in the mines. This will help you avenge your death and allow you to give an explanation to the higher-ups."

"If you don't agree, you may not be able to take revenge in a short time."

"I still say the same thing. We can both comprehend the Hundred True Remains. One person being invincible at the same level seems not as good as two people being invincible at the same level."

"Nanxing Prefecture is too big. If the Yefo Sect wants to swallow it all, it will definitely attract the attention of the Tianjiansi. But with a Yedao Sect to share the burden with me, everyone will be better off."

When Taoist Master Qihuang heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Abbot Xuanzhen didn't say anything, just ate the food bite by bite.

The monks and Taoists around had serious expressions.

After all, this was a conversation between the leaders of two evil forces, and they couldn't get a word in at this time.

After about an incense stick of time, Taoist Qi Huang finally put down his chopsticks, raised the wine glass beside him, and said.

"I agreed to this matter, but not for revenge, but for the remains of Bai Zhen. Remember, after cracking it, the two of us will comprehend the Bai Zhen technique together and muddy the waters of Nanxing Prefecture."

"That's natural."

Abbot Xuanzhen smiled.

The two of them clinked their glasses together and the matter was settled.

"I heard that Shen Bai has already brought people into the mine. Half of the people from Group A and Group B have gone, and all of their members are at the Void Transformation Realm. How sure are you that you can get in?" asked Taoist Qihuang.

With over a hundred levels of Huaxu realm, he could drive out any evil force, including wild Taoist sects and wild Buddhist sects.

It was also because of this that no one dared to make any big moves during the most difficult times in Nanxing Prefecture.

So Taoist Qihuang asked this question.

Abbot Xuanzhen put down his wine glass and said with a faint smile, "Do you know what Xinhuo Academy is planning?"

Taoist Priest Qi Huang shook his head and said, "I don't know, do you know?"

Abbot Xuanzhen nodded and said, "Actually, this is a scheme to kill with a borrowed knife. It doesn't quite fit the idea. The general idea is to use the Heavenly Supervisor to help us open the passage to the mine. Then, we can enter and seize the remains of Baizhen. I understand what you mean, Taoist Priest. You're worried that we can't get in. After all, hundreds of people in the Huaxu realm are terrifying. Even if we get in, we may not be able to gain anything."

"But what if no one can get in?"

"Why can't anyone get in?" Taoist Qihuang frowned slightly. "Speak clearly. Since we are already cooperating, we should explain the whole story clearly and not hide anything."

Abbot Xuanzhen looked around, and then the monks around him left.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Master Qihuang also winked at the fat and thin Taoists.

The two middle-aged Taoists also left.

Soon, only Abbot Xuanzhen and Taoist Priest Qihuang were left in the hall.

Abbot Xuanzhen took out a painting from his bosom, placed it on the table, and slowly opened it: "Master, you should recognize this thing. With this thing, not only can we enter the mine, but we can also kill Shen Bai, the unparalleled genius, in the cradle. And this thing, Xinhuo Academy and I will each hold half."

"Before this, I also had a deal with Xinhuo Academy, but Piaoxu must die. This is not only my promise to you, Taoist Priest, but also a promise to a senior member of the academy. After all, although Piaoxu is extremely powerful in the academy, she always has enemies."

"This time, we'll use Shen Bai to lure him out and kill him. I'll do you a favor."

Taoist Qi Huang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

He looked at the half-painted painting on the table, raised an eyebrow and said, "Shadow in the Painting, since you can get half of this strange object, it seems that this matter can be accomplished."
