A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 212 Trading
"What should I do?"

The two saints went into seclusion, and the affairs of the Star Palace were handed over to them.

Originally, they thought that the combined strength of several mid-stage Nascent Soul experts would be enough to suppress the Star Palace.

However, while the idea was good, the reality was quite frustrating.

Those few people simply couldn't stabilize the situation.

Liu Dao Ji Sheng and Wan San Gu completely ignored the six of them.

After realizing they had been making some assumptions, they chose to retreat and try to stall for time until the two saints emerged from seclusion.

If either of the two saints could reach the Nascent Soul stage, the current crisis facing the Star Palace would be easily resolved.

Even if the two saints fail to advance further, with their late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and the Magnetic Divine Light that suppresses almost all five elements in the world, they are undoubtedly among the strongest below the Deity Transformation level. If they join forces, they can certainly defeat the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu, and quell this chaos.

In other words, we just need to wait until the two saints emerge from seclusion.

just.

Their strategy of sacrificing some territory to buy time was quite successful, gaining them more than three months. However, due to a carelessness, they also implicated the young palace master, Ling Yuling.

If the two palace masters find out that they have lost the young palace master, they will definitely not let them off easily.

"We must bring them back safe and sound, no matter the cost."

"It was a burly man who said in a deep voice."

They are willing to accept any losses as long as they can get the person back.

We must accept it.

"How can we save them? They know that our Star Palace has two Grandmasters, both at the Yuanhou level, and over thirty Nascent Soul cultivators like ourselves, yet they still dare to make such outrageous demands. What does this tell us?"

The other person spoke up.

"This person is so fearless, he must have some powerful methods at his disposal, and he is probably not easy to deal with."

"He chose Geng Metal, could he be a sword cultivator?"

"Among those of the same level, sword cultivators are indeed very difficult to deal with."

If too few people are mobilized, they won't be able to control the situation.

If more people are mobilized, it's clear they don't want to make a deal.

It could lead to the other side killing the hostage.

Worse still, given their current predicament of internal and external troubles, they can't spare enough manpower to target their adversary overseas. If the Reverse Star Alliance were to learn of their internal weakness, the consequences would be unimaginable.

tricky.

Too tricky.

This person has hit their weak spot.

"Then, are we just going to agree to those unreasonable conditions that guy put forward? You should know that even if we take out all the Geng metal in the Holy Palace's treasury, we still won't be able to gather thirty catties."

A piece of Geng metal the size of a pigeon egg only weighs about one pound.

Thirty catties is roughly the size of thirty pigeon eggs of Geng metal.

That's enough to buy the lives of more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators!
As far as they knew, the total amount of Geng metal in the Star Palace Treasury was only a little over four jin.

It's simply not enough.

"Not only is the Geng metal insufficient, but the ten-thousand-year-old heartwood of the Golden Magnetic Spirit Wood is also lacking. There are only three pieces left in the treasure vault..."

"That guy's demands were too high and too unreasonable."

"What can we do if we disagree? We only have a little over a day left. If we miss the deadline, the consequences will be unimaginable. Don't forget, that person mentioned the Great Jin."

The Chaotic Star Sea is a vast sea area that even a great cultivator of the Yuanhou era would have to fly away for more than ten years to reach the Great Jin Dynasty.

The dangers involved are numerous.

"That's right, that guy claims to be a rogue cultivator from the Great Jin Dynasty! And in my Chaotic Star Sea, there are very few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty."

Only the two saints had actually been to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Even these Nascent Soul stage elders had only heard of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"Since the other party knows about the Great Jin, they might really be from that place. The reason this person smuggled himself to the outer sea is probably because he doesn't want to get involved in our war with the Reverse Star Alliance."

"These people probably didn't intend to be enemies with my Star Palace, otherwise they would have already handed the young palace master over to the Reverse Star Alliance to control us..."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a wave of lingering fear.

It's hard to imagine the terrible consequences that might occur if Ling Yuling fell into the hands of Liu Dao Ji Sheng or Wan San Gu.

Fortunately.

The situation is still under control.

We can still salvage the situation.

"How did those two idiots guarding the teleportation array come up with the idea of ​​profiting from a defective teleportation talisman?"

"They illegally activate teleportation arrays to earn exorbitant teleportation fees, but due to missing teleportation talismans, they cannot guarantee safety during the teleportation process!"

It's absolutely outrageous and will kill you.

And it was done without anyone knowing.

"You know what, although those two were inconsiderate and made a huge mess of things, they're actually quite talented when it comes to scheming in this area."

"Hmph, just a little bit of cleverness, nothing special. Besides, he used his cleverness in the wrong place and on the wrong people."

"More trouble than it's worth..."

"He deserves to die."

The mere mention of these two infuriated the group of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Star Palace.

If anything were to happen to Ling Yuling during the teleportation process, they would also be held responsible.

The two saints might even deal with all these "incompetent" people before the war even begins.

"Alright, the treasury doesn't have enough Geng gold to satisfy them. Besides, this concerns the safety of the young palace master, so we absolutely cannot keep it from the two saints, otherwise the consequences will be even more serious. Therefore, please, the two saints, come out of seclusion."

Everyone looked at each other.

Many people sighed inwardly.

Some people even looked ashen-faced.

After all, it was their people who caused the trouble, so how could they, as their superiors, stand aside?
Therefore, he hated the two clever men guarding the teleportation array even more.

...

The handsome yet dignified Ling Xiaofeng and the stunningly beautiful yet aloof Wen Qing were both very unhappy because their seclusion was interrupted.

Then, when the two heard about Ling Yuling's plight and learned about their daughter's current situation, one's pretty face turned black and the other's face turned ashen.

The young couple's faces were so gloomy they looked like they could drip water.

Ling Yuling was the child they had been trying to conceive and give birth to for decades.

With the exceptional talent of a Heavenly Spiritual Root and the millennia-old heritage and foundation of the Star Palace, he is destined to reach the late Nascent Soul stage in the future!
He is the only designated successor within the Star Palace!
Yet, despite having such a background, he was actually sent to Nanming Island for training.

And he was coincidentally captured alive by a Nascent Soul cultivator and taken to the outer sea?
He almost died during the teleportation process using his own teleportation array.

Is this the kind of experience a young master of the Star Palace should have?

They almost burst out laughing in exasperation.

Is this how your subordinates raise their daughters?
During the years they were in seclusion, how decadent did the Star Palace become?
"What to do? How to rescue them?"

The stunningly beautiful woman, Wen Qing, looked at her husband.

“If the two of us could go there in person, we would surely let that person know how powerful we are. But we can’t go. Our Yuan Magnetic Divine Light is not yet fully developed, and we cannot venture beyond the ten thousand miles of Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain.”

If they force themselves to leave the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, they don't know if others will die, but the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light within their bodies will definitely go out of control first.

therefore.

It's best not to take the risk.

"Are we not going to save Ling'er?"

Wen Qing's eyes were filled with sorrow.

"We must save her. She is our only bloodline, and we cannot afford to lose her! Just give her what she needs."

Ling Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said.

“But the Geng metal on our bodies, plus what’s in the treasure vault, is far from enough for that person’s needs.”

"It's alright. The other party is just asking for an exorbitant price of thirty catties; they're testing us. As long as we show sincerity, they won't go too far."

Despite this, Ling Xiaofeng was still extremely annoyed.

When has he, Ling, ever been so easily manipulated in this small corner of the chaotic starry sea?
He has been famous for a thousand years and has never been defeated. He has always used his power to suppress and control others.

Today, we have no choice but to admit defeat.

They had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

"Let's go, let's go see those elders who are more trouble than they're worth."

Star Palace, 80th floor, Council Hall.

On the high platform, Ling Xiaofeng, who had just emerged from seclusion, sat on either side of Wen Qing.

Below, a large group of people stood.

"The Six Paths Supreme Saint and that crazy old woman Wan Sangu haven't even broken in yet, and you two have already given us such a big surprise."

"How can I possibly thank you?"

Ling Xiaofeng calmly looked down at the group of Nascent Soul cultivators standing upright below, offering generous praise and expressing his gratitude.

However, those who were praised all lowered their heads.

They were like a group of naughty students who were afraid of being called on by the teacher.

Not a single person dared to openly meet the gaze of Ling Xiaofeng, who had long held considerable power.

Even the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the direct lineage would flinch and avert their eyes when they met Palace Master Ling's sharp gaze.

The three felt a mix of guilt, worry, and a deep-seated fear that had been ingrained in their hearts for many years.

With the power of just one person, he suppressed twenty or thirty Nascent Soul stage monsters... none of them uttered a sound when questioned.

aside.

Wen Qing sat there expressionless, without saying a word.

But everyone could sense that this aloof iceberg was on the verge of exploding.

Forget it.

Can't be bothered.

Let's just draw circles with our toes.

No one present wanted to provoke the two saints.

"Hmph, you lot, Yu Ling usually calls you uncles and is quite respectful to you. But what are you doing, arranging everything for her like this? My wife and I haven't even passed away yet, and you're already in a hurry to fight for power?"

These words startled the six mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, who all knelt on one knee.

Cold sweat broke out on my back.

"Palace Master, we dare not."

"Palace Master, it's a misunderstanding."

"... "

This is a huge misunderstanding.

Even if they had such intentions, at most they would arrange for the most outstanding members of the clan to cultivate a good relationship with Ling Yuling, hoping to match Ling Yuling with their most outstanding offspring as childhood sweethearts!
How could they dare to have any other wicked thoughts?
At the same time, the other Nascent Soul stage elders also knelt on one knee, afraid of standing too high and being too conspicuous.

“All of you, those who have Geng metal, bring it out. Those who don’t, bring out the equivalent top-grade spiritual materials. After that, Junior Brother Jin, you go and make this trip, and make sure to get the Jade Spirit back. I don’t want that child to suffer any more mishaps, do you understand?”

A large, gray sun slowly rose behind Ling Xiaofeng.

Everyone present felt their steady magical power suddenly surge wildly through their meridians like a wild horse.

And it wants to leave the body.

"what happened?"

Some people were horrified.

"It's the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light!"

It is said that when the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light is pushed to its limit, it can damage a person's cultivation.

Now it seems that it was indeed true.

this moment.

The Star Palace cultivators' awe of Ling Xiaofeng grew even stronger.

Jin Kui, at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, even took out a piece of Gengjin the size of an infant's fist that he had treasured for many years:
“I will definitely bring Yu Ling back.”

"There's not much time left, go. Go quickly and come back quickly."

"Yes."

Subsequently.

Jin Kui, the number one person below the two saints, took a total of about ten catties of Geng gold, along with five pieces of ten-thousand-year-old golden magnetic spirit wood and some other top-grade spiritual materials, and went straight to the Starry Sky Palace on the fiftieth floor of the holy mountain.

Let's look at the two saints again...

Ling Xiaofeng raised his hand and summoned the old man in the Core Formation stage, then began a soul search.

Wen Qing pressed his hand down on the forehead of another Core Formation stage youth... Soul Search!
They needed to understand every detail of the situation at the time.

then.

The more you understand, the colder his gaze becomes.

When he caught a glimpse of some of the elders present, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

...

Silver Shark Island.

Wearing a mask to conceal his appearance and undergoing a complete makeover, Kim Kyu arrives via a teleportation array.

Immediately, he chose the agreed-upon direction, and together they traveled straight there in a flash of light.

After Jin Kui left Silver Shark Island, Han Li walked out of a pavilion under the jurisdiction of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, Han Li was wearing a fine ancient treasure robe that could help cultivators conceal their aura. Wearing this ancient treasure robe, even the divine sense of a great cultivator could hardly see through the illusion and reality hidden under the robe.

And so, he disguised himself as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Even though they were not far apart, Jin Kui failed to notice his disguise.

"Only one person came?"

This was beyond his expectations.

I thought there would be three to five people, or even seven or eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"However, the newcomer's cultivation level is quite high; his magical power is stronger than that of Man Hu Zi and Wan Tianming."

In other words, he is a master at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This one person alone is equivalent to four or five ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Moreover, this person's escape technique is incredibly fast, much faster than the escape techniques shown by Barbarian Beard and Wan Tianming."

In Elder Ximen's memory, there was only one person who met the criteria.

That was Jin Kui, the junior brother of the two saints.

That perennial third-place finisher, who is also not young.

"Looks like it was the right decision to stake out this spot and observe the situation from the shadows..."

He wouldn't go through with the transaction if Xinggong caused trouble.

The best course of action is to simply walk away.

If the zodiac sign follows rules, then he will definitely follow rules too.

In short.

He would never be foolish enough to run to the agreed-upon place and wait there.

...

A few hours later.

When Jin Kui arrived at the location and found no one there, the veins on his forehead bulged.

but.

When he saw a Foundation Establishment stage puppet emerge from the seabed, come near the water surface where he stood, and reach out to him.

His anxiety subsided.

Then, he opened his divine sense to the fullest extent, exploring every inch:
"You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, come out now!"

He wanted to see just who this rogue cultivator from the Great Jin Dynasty, Li Feiyu, really was.

He refused to believe that his divine sense, which surpassed that of an ordinary peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, would fail to locate this person.

result.

A hundred breaths later, the puppet was still standing there, staring straight at him.

Jin Kui, who was somewhat embarrassed, stood there stunned.

"There's nobody within a two-hundred-mile radius?"

impossible!
