"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
The old man laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and then stopped responding, his figure turning into a gentle breeze and disappearing.
In the end, only the sect leader of the Supreme Pill Sect and the sect leader of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect remained in the hall. The two smiled at each other, both guessing that the other might still have something to say to Jiang Mo, and were preparing to leave.
"Let's talk separately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mo's body split in two, one in black robes and white hair, and the other in black hair and fiery clothes, clearly his original body and his second true form.
"please."
Jiang Mo casually slashed open a sliver of space, creating a hidden space leading to a special dimension, isolating it from any prying eyes, and invited the sect leader of the Supreme Pill Sect to enter.
"it is good."
Sect Master Baili stepped into the space and instantly arrived at a vast gray space.
There is no sun or moon, no heaven or earth, no distinction between up, down, left, right, front, or back, and not even the flow of time. Yet, one can clearly see beyond the faintly visible sky the original real world, only now it has faded, as if it were countless years ago.
"What a brilliant move, Venerable Xuan..."
The projection of Sect Master Baili, sensing the enclosed nature of this strange dimension, was full of praise. It was an absolute blockade on both the temporal and spatial levels, preventing any external object from penetrating in.
"You flatter me, Senior Baili. If you have anything else to say, please speak frankly. There's no need to beat around the bush. It's just the two of us here; I guarantee our conversation won't be leaked."
Seeing Jiang Mo's directness, Baili Changfeng decided to stop hiding his intentions and slowly raised his left hand, extending two fingers in front of Jiang Mo.
"For this battle, my sect is willing to contribute its resources, two Star Pills, to support Fellow Daoist Xuanzun. In addition, there are two forbidden pills that I could not reveal earlier. One is the Blood God Pill, a potent medicine that can overdraw one's life force, burn potential, and even one's soul. It can be used when one is on the verge of death to lock in the last wisp of true life and maintain peak combat power for 12 hours. One can squander it at will without any problem. The price is that one will never be reborn and will truly disappear into the world."
"Secondly, the Battle Saint Pill, after use, increases combat power by 1-3 times, but there will be side effects afterward, causing weakness for a long period of time, several months or even a year, during which there is even a risk of falling in cultivation level."
"Finally, there is the Cleansing Pill, which can cure a million poisons, grant immunity to all inner demons in the Immortal Realm to date, and provide illusionary supernatural powers for your use."
"These five pills are our sect's support for your war against the Immortal Clan..."
When Baili Changfeng spoke, his eyes were exceptionally bright, and he kept staring into Jiang Mo's eyes. He was very frank and trying to open up to him.
"What are the conditions?" Jiang Mo asked instinctively.
Having read through the ancient books of the Immortal Realm, he naturally knew the preciousness of the Star Pill. It was a miracle among miracles, even more precious than innate magic artifacts, and a life-saving holy medicine in critical moments.
It's no exaggeration to say that the latter three pills combined are not as good as a single Star Pill.
Baili Changfeng took out two at once, which means he must have gone to great lengths and had something in mind.
"........"
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Baili remained silent for a moment, then clasped his hands and bowed to show his shame.
In the previous meeting, Mount Sumeru, Medicine God Valley, Martial Peak Hall, and Xuan Shang Tai Qing Sect, due to the large number of Supreme Peak Dao Lords who had fallen, had almost become pawns with no strategic value. They were unanimously abandoned by the leaders of the various Daoist traditions, and even if they were hunted by the Immortal Clan or the Dark Giants, they would not be helped.
“My Daoist partner comes from the Martial Extreme Hall. Our sect has close ties with the Martial Extreme Hall. Over the past 100,000 years, the power in the Central Continent has changed hands many times, but the Martial Extreme Hall has always stood firm. Their strength is very powerful, and they have benefited us because of it. In the tens of thousands of years of our sect's history, we have encountered several crises, and we have always been saved by the Martial Extreme Hall. Now that our ally who has risked his life for us is in trouble, I cannot turn a blind eye to it. Wouldn't that be a loss of conscience?”
"So, you want me to help them?" Jiang Mo frowned.
"Yes, on the day the accident happened, I sent several elders to the Martial Peak Hall to offer my condolences and presented them with two Life-Saving Pills to help them recover from their injuries."
Baili Changfeng sighed helplessly and said, "Even so, compared with the Immortal Clan, it is still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Furthermore, because of their grudges with Liyan Mountain, I am in a difficult position and do not know how to ask you for a place in the alliance. Therefore, at the last moment, I have delayed your time a little."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Mo didn't take it to heart. "To be honest, how many Extreme Realm Dao Lords are there in their palace?"
"Of the three, you have seen two of them before, and the third is an extremely old senior who is stationed deep within the sect and has little time left to live. Even if the three of them are unharmed, they cannot stop the Immortal Clan's hunt. Therefore, I implore the Venerable Xuan to rescue them."
"As long as you are willing to help, I will never refuse any request, no matter how many.
Baili Changfeng spoke righteously and firmly, his expression resolute, clearly showing a strong determination.
"Before that, I'd like to ask you, how many Star Pills does your sect have accumulated over the generations? And how many Cicada Molting Pills, another pill that is as famous as the Star Pill and is hailed as your unparalleled twin treasures?"
Upon hearing this, the space became even quieter. A few seconds passed, yet it felt like an eternity. After a moment's hesitation, Sect Master Baili slowly said:
"We currently have 5 Star Pills. We will give 2 to you, fellow Daoist. Our sect's seniors and I each only have one to save our lives."
"As for the Cicada Molting Pill, it is even more difficult to refine. Since the founding of the sect, only 4 pills have been produced. Some deceased sages were stuck in a bottleneck in their research on pills and could not swallow their pride. They made great contributions and consumed two pills before their death. There are still two left in the sect."
"What, Venerable Master, are you interested in longevity pills?"
Baili Changfeng looked at Jiang Mo with some surprise. In his opinion, this was a supreme peak Dao Lord in his prime, and the strongest one at that. He was hiding in Tianyuan and had not suffered the divine punishment of the Immortal Realm. His lifespan should be tens of thousands of years. Why would he need such a longevity pill?
It's true that the Cicada Molting Pill can extend lifespan, but it only extends it by a thousand years. If... the Mystic Venerable were to launch a Dark Turmoil, the benefits would amount to thousands or even tens of thousands of years, so there's no need to seek the Cicada Molting Pill.
"I am older than you think, and I don't have much time left."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly, not stating the specific number, but instead hinting indirectly:
"That's why I especially need the Cicada Shedding Pill. As for what you don't understand, why I don't launch the Dark Turmoil, it's simply because I don't want to. If I want to live, I can rely on other means, but there will always be constraints, and I don't like constraints. So naturally, I hope to find some burden-free ways to prolong my life. In the end, I'll just be myself."
"Oh, I forgot to ask, does the Cicada Molting Pill have any side effects?"
These casual words startled Baili Changfeng, causing his expression to change drastically and his heart rate to soar. He asked in a panic:
“Fellow Daoist, your lifespan is limited. Can you finish this war? The war with the Immortal Clan may last for decades or even centuries.”
Baili Changfeng worried that as the fighting progressed, with the emergence of one Immortal King after another and the arrival of an Immortal Emperor on the battlefield, Jiang Mo's lifespan might be exhausted prematurely. If he died, the remaining alliance would likely have a much lower chance of winning, and it would be only a matter of time before they were defeated one by one by the Immortals.
"Probably," Jiang Mo said confidently. He still had a trump card up his sleeve, and if fate smiled upon him, he would always have a chance to turn the tables.
"..."
Baili Changfeng's expression changed back and forth. After a few seconds, he forced a smile and said, "Fine, fine, consider it a debt that my Supreme Pill Sect owes to the Martial Extreme Hall. Alas... Fellow Daoist Xuanzun, I can give you a Cicada Shedding Pill to help you prolong your life. At the same time, I also hope that when the Martial Extreme Hall suffers a catastrophic disaster, you can step in to turn the tide."
“No problem. With me here, I can whip the Immortal Clan’s king and the giants of the forbidden zone like a spinning top.” Jiang Mo readily accepted the deal.
"!"
Noticing the bright smile on Jiang Mo's face, who seemed completely unfazed, Baili Changfeng suddenly realized, "Oh no, have I fallen for his trap?"
However, he was still uneasy and hesitated repeatedly before asking again:
"Mystic Lord, be honest with me, what are your chances of winning this war?"
"If more than 50% succeed, my sect will follow to the death, even if we all perish on the Immortal Realm, we will have no regrets."
"If it's only 20-30%, we can barely keep going..."
"But! Even if it's less than one percent, even if it means being targeted by those monsters outside the sky and being branded as a deserter, I will still lead the sect's elders and disciples to the far reaches of the universe."
Baili Changfeng was slightly agitated, and his eyes revealed his nervousness.
"I never take on a deal I'm not sure I can win."
"To be honest, the worst outcome I can imagine is that the Immortal Realm will be destroyed and riddled with holes. Even if I perish, the Immortal Clan will be uprooted. As for how many of those forbidden zone giants will survive, I have no idea."
"If I had to give you a chance of winning, I'd say 70%."
After careful consideration, Jiang Mo gave this rigorous answer.
With the assistance of more than a dozen supreme peak Dao Lords, it would be enough to limit the forbidden zone rulers who participated in the battle. What he had to do was to fight the Immortal Clan head-on.
Body.
Second true form.
Reincarnation.
With the addition of two Star Pills, Blood God Pills, and Battle Saint Pills, maximizing all the buffs, and a hundred Eternal Ultimate Warships, Jiang Mo has enough room for error to stand against the Immortal Clan.
If all the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Clan were at the level of the Taiyan Immortal King, Jiang Mo was absolutely confident that he could crush the entire Immortal Clan with overwhelming power.
What made him wary were two things: first, his own ultimate beings couldn't hold back the giants of the forbidden zone, requiring him to spare extra attention to help them; second, there was a huge gap between the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Clan, and the true strength of the Immortal Emperor was still a mystery. These were the reasons why Jiang Mo was on high alert and dared not relax in the slightest.
"Seventy percent?!!"
Baili Changfeng's eyes widened slightly, utterly incredulous. He thought he had misheard and was stunned for two or three seconds before recovering. He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed happily.
"Good! Good! Good! What a perfect 70%! With your words of reassurance, Venerable Master, I am relieved!"
"There's no time to lose. I'll arrange for the sect to... no, I'll do it myself. I'll personally unseal the pills and hand them over to you tomorrow."
"Well then, thank you, Sect Master Baili."
Jiang Mo clasped his hands in thanks.
"polite."
"By the way, I have another question to ask you."
"Please speak, Venerable Master."
"If the Myriad Life Pill is taken after two consecutive Starry Sky Pills, will it still enhance the medicinal effect?"
Jiang Mo asked with great curiosity, a hint of anticipation in his heart. If possible, he would use it this way, as it would be like adding an extra layer of insurance for himself.
"No! No! Fellow Daoist Xuanzun, your thinking is correct, but your method is wrong."
Baili Changfeng explained very generously and patiently:
"The Myriad Life Pill and the Star Pill have similar medicinal properties and are almost from the same source. However, the former is ultimately a defective product and is inferior to the Star Pill in every way. If you take the Myriad Life Pill after taking the Star Pill, it will not have any effect. Instead, it will form a kind of poison and accelerate the damage to your life. On the contrary, it will be very different. Mystic Venerable, you can take the Myriad Life Pill first to get a chance to heal your injuries, and then use the Star Pill. In this way, you can not only make the medicinal properties work perfectly, but also avoid harming your life."
"It was my oversight, Venerable Xuan. If you need the Myriad Life Pill, I can prepare two more for you. I also need to win over other leaders of various sects to play both sides, so the quantity is a bit tight. Please forgive me."
Soon, Sect Master Baili waved his hand and made a promise.
"Very well, I am extremely grateful. In the future, once I have a foothold in the Immortal Realm, your sect will not need to worry about any threats from the forbidden zones. If they extend their tentacles towards you, without further ado, I will smash their dog heads and flatten their forbidden zones."
"If that's the case, then it's a deal, Venerable Xuanzun, don't go back on your word, hahahahahaha!!!" Baili Changfeng laughed heartily, full of great anticipation for the future.
"Of course, I always keep my word."
After a brief conversation, both parties were quite pleased and reached a consensus to leave this special space together.
Chapter 668 Preparing Advanced Materials
The time went back to 20 minutes ago.
Baili Changfeng and Jiang Mo's true forms entered a mysterious dimension that had suddenly opened. Upon seeing this, Liu Qing, the sect leader of the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect, who had just left, began to talk to his second true form.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, you previously asked Elder Gongyang to inquire about my matter. I can tell you definitively that there is one.”
The woman parted her lips slightly and revealed the sect's secrets.
"..."
Jiang Mo was not surprised. He smiled at Jiang Mo and said, "That's perfect. I'm very interested in this technique. I wonder if Sect Leader Liu could lend me his ancient cultivation manual to take a look?"
"This matter is of utmost importance. If it is leaked, our sect may be in danger of collapse..." The woman feigned hesitation.
"I'll settle the score for you."
Jiang Mo uttered five words.
"Then it's a deal! I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Jiang to take good care of my sect in the future."
A strange light appeared in Liu Qing's eyes, and her smile deepened. With a gentle flick of her left hand, a pale bone plate appeared instantly, imprinted with ancient characters unique to the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect.
Let alone outsiders, even most of the high-ranking elders had never been in contact with them and didn't know where to start.
"This is the True Scripture of Human Control. It is extremely effective and completely different from the school of beast control, but the effect is almost the same. As long as the control seal is applied, you can control the other party at will."
Holding the bone plate in both hands, Liu Qing walked forward with light steps and handed the secret technique to Jiang Mo.
"These are the steps of cultivation. Please feel them carefully, fellow Daoist."
"Wow!"
As she finished speaking, the ancient characters on the bone plate came to life one after another, dancing up and down like burning flames. Each character conveyed a wealth of information, instantly flooding into Jiang Mo's brain like a tidal wave.
"......"
Jiang Mo concentrated intently and sped up his analysis. Several minutes passed before he managed to barely grasp the basics of the "True Scripture of Controlling People."
"Is it done?" Liu Qing asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Ah."
Immediately, seeing Jiang Mo nod in acknowledgment, Liu Qing put away the bone plate.
"I wonder if this 'True Scripture of Controlling People' will be effective for the people of the royal family?"
Jiang Mo discovered that this point was not recorded in the ancient books, which puzzled him, so he asked Liu Qing for clarification.
"Hard to say."
Liu Qing's face showed a thoughtful expression, and she pondered for a moment before saying:
