Chapter 40: Reactions from All Four Parties, Betting on the Gift
Corpse Refining Sect.
What you said makes sense.
"We have no way of knowing what Liu Ya, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, is like or what he cares about. We can only speculate about his preferences as a demon cultivator of the Spirit Fox Clan."
"No matter what, this gift is too small and does no good for our Corpse Refining Sect."
"If this is someone who holds grudges and is petty and narrow-minded."
"Then our Corpse Refining Sect's days are probably numbered."
"Moreover, Liu Ya is a spiritual cultivator who has advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. His lifespan is already longer than that of us humans. He can outlive at least two generations of our Corpse Refining Sect."
Qian Suxing's voice was low, with a hint of worry in his tone.
"There is an item in the treasure vault that was brought back by the previous generation of the sect during their travels. It is a slightly damaged second-tier magic artifact. That will do."
After some deliberation, Qian Suxing made the final decision.
"A second-tier magical artifact!?"
"Senior brother, isn't what we gave you too expensive?"
"What if Liu Ya uses our Corpse Refining Sect's magical artifacts to attack us?"
Zou Guanqi frowned slightly. That second-tier magic weapon was one of only two second-tier magic weapons in their treasure trove. Although it was broken, it could be repaired with a little magic power and then be regarded as an ordinary second-tier low-grade magic weapon.
"If your so-called eyeliner were even slightly more reliable, we wouldn't be here guessing blindly."
"This is it, no need for further explanation."
After Qian Suxing finished speaking, the Azure Scale Skull turned around and flew into the thick Yin Sha black mist.
Zou Guanqi dared not speak. These Foundation Establishment forces would infiltrate each other. The Black Sheep Sect and the other two Foundation Establishment forces all had such infiltration, but the group of demon cultivators in the Green Ape Mountain was not large.
They were extremely cautious about accepting demons from outside.
The demon spies trained by Zou Guanqi disappeared without a trace after entering Green Ape Mountain.
...
Black Sheep Clan.
Deep within Blood Fiend Valley.
On an ancient altar.
A cracked right hand floated in the center, constantly absorbing the surrounding bloodthirsty energy to repair the tiny cracks that appeared on the right hand.
Just then, a black streak of light flew over and stopped on the side of the altar in the blink of an eye, revealing a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe with a pale face and a gloomy aura.
"Senior brother, I didn't expect that Green Ape Mountain would make such a big commotion without making a sound."
"This is an invitation from Liu Ya, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator from Green Ape Mountain. Senior brother, please take a look."
Zhao Kongze took out the invitation jade slip and delivered it to the White Bone Immortal, who only had one broken hand left.
"A new foundation building in Qingyuan Mountain!?"
Upon hearing this, the White Bone Immortal uttered a rather surprised sound from his right hand.
"So it seems..."
"When that old green ape changed its nature and joined forces with our Black Sheep Sect to deal with the Corpse Refining Sect in order to protect the demon cultivators of Wushan, that should have been the beginning of its transformation."
"What a pity. Back then, we were only concerned with the Corpse Refining Sect and forgot about Green Ape Mountain. Now, Green Ape Mountain has become powerful. Although the invitation says that the old ape has gone on a long journey and it is unknown when he will return, who can know if this is Green Ape Mountain's scheme?"
"This gift for a newly established Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot be too small."
"Do you know what kind of person Liu Ya is?"
From the white bone right hand, which was covered in cracks, came the aged voice of the White Bone Immortal.
"Senior brother, I have never heard of Liu Ya before."
"Green Ape Mountain is too well hidden, and my senior brother was seriously injured by that old demon Qian's self-destruction. I, the junior brother, am in Blood Fiend Valley, and outside the sect, we are being targeted by the Corpse Refining Sect..."
Zhao Kongze shook his head and said.
"It's not your fault."
"Senior brother, I understand. The Green Ape Mountain is united as one, and it is extremely difficult for non-spiritual cultivators and demons to enter."
"Then we'll have to bet on the congratulatory gift."
"I remember there's a second-tier low-grade Blue Scale Shield in the treasure vault, and I'll also give you ten bottles of first-tier high-grade pills. You can handle the rest."
"We must not accept anything less than what the Corpse Refining Sect offered."
The White Bone Immortal gave the order.
"Yes, senior brother, I'll take care of it right away."
Zhao Kongze hurriedly nodded in response. At this time, no matter what he paid, it wouldn't be a bad thing. The weight of a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator was too heavy, as could be seen from the old ape on Green Ape Mountain.
Moreover, this newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator is from the Spirit Fox clan, and Spirit Foxes are skilled in illusion techniques.
If this newly established Foundation Establishment spirit fox, Liu Ya, were to condense a magic seed of illusion, and his divine sense were weak, he could easily fall into its trap.
...
Fish Dragon Peak.
The peak is thousands of feet high, but there are hundreds of lakes of varying sizes around it. The water system is full of spiritual energy. Once, a Foundation Establishment Dragon Python with the extraordinary phenomenon of transforming into a dragon serpent lived here, hence the name.
Inside a cultivation cave halfway up the mountain.
Inside the cave, in front of a pale golden boulder, stood a swordsman in green robes named Zhan Tianci, who was controlling his flying sword to absorb the gold-elemental spiritual energy from the spiritual ore in front of him.
at this time.
As if sensing something, the flying swords floating around transformed into a golden stream of light, like a tiny golden fish, and burrowed into Zhan Tianci's brow.
Immediately afterwards, an elderly man in red robes hurried over.
"Ancestor, Liu Ya, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator from Green Ape Mountain, has sent an invitation."
The elderly man in red, Zhan Yu, respectfully handed over the invitation.
"I never expected that the first Foundation Establishment cultivator to emerge in this region in so many years would be on Green Ape Mountain."
"The Corpse Refining Sect and the Black Sheep Sect are truly useless!"
"They were completely unaware that a spiritual cultivator with Foundation Establishment aptitude had suddenly appeared next door; all they knew was to fight to the death."
"Retrieve a blood essence pill from the direct lineage of the Fish-Dragon lineage."
"Send another bottle of second-grade low-level spirit pills, and that should be about right."
Zhan Tianci was making plans in his mind.
"By the way, how is Cui Zhan's cultivation going?"
Zhan Tianci asked.
Although Cui Zhan was not of the Zhan family bloodline, he had a blood feud with the Cui family due to the grudges of the previous generation.
Most importantly, his talent is also top-notch among dual-spiritual-root individuals. A disciple with such aptitude will be one of the foundation-building seeds of the Zhan family in the future.
"Reporting to the Ancestor, Young Master Cui has successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining."
The elderly man in red responded respectfully.
"good!"
"To be able to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining at the young age of thirty-nine, all those years of training have been worthwhile."
"Let Cui Zhan and Cui Ling come with me to Green Ape Mountain to participate in the Foundation Establishment Ceremony."
"Young people should gain more experience."
Zhan Tianci gave the instructions.
"Yes, Ancestor."
"However, there are many dissenting voices within the Zhan clan now, saying that Cui Zhan is not of the Zhan family bloodline..."
Before Zhan Yu could finish speaking, Zhan Tianci, who was standing in front of him, raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Ignorance."
"Let's go."
A hint of impatience flashed in Zhan Tianci's eyes as he shooed Zhan Yu away.
Looking at the younger generation of the Zhan family, who can compare to Cui Zhan's talent?
Such a talented young person will be of great use once they advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.
A hint of demonic energy flashed in Zhan Tianci's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by the sword intent emanating from his body.
