Chapter 224 Selling Han Li's Spirit Eye Tree Roots in Advance...

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, you are too kind. I am only able to reach my current state because of some good fortune. I am not sure about my future."

Qi Yuan spoke in a gentle tone and with a smile on his face.

Cheng Tiankun chuckled, extended his hand and invited him to sit down, saying, "At least your luck is better than my old bones. Fellow Daoist Qi, please take a seat, and Junior Brother Lu, please take a seat as well."

The leader of Luoyun Sect knew that their Nascent Soul cultivators had something to discuss, so he called Mu Peiling and the low-level disciples in the hall to leave together.

Mu Peiling showed a trace of reluctance on her face, as if she was weighed down with something. She stared deeply at Qi Yuan with her willow-like eyes, then followed the leader's order and left.

In an instant, only Qi Yuan, Cheng Tiankun and Lu Luo were left in the sect hall.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from Luoyun Sect looked at each other and guessed Qi Yuan's purpose.

Not to mention that Luoyun Sect and Yue Kingdom are very far apart, they almost never have any contact with each other on a daily basis, so it is not really a question of acquaintance.

Especially at the recent sword-testing competition held by the three sects in the Yunmeng Mountains, the Ancient Sword Sect, the Baiqiao Academy, and the Luoyun Sect planned together to lure out the traitor and do something to make people unhappy, but they didn't expect that it would end in complete defeat.

Not only did the disciples suffer heavy losses, but a small amount of the spirit tree liquid was also taken back to the righteous and evil paths.

So the Luoyun Sect was in an extremely depressed mood at that time.

Cheng Tiankun looked at the figure of the guest and said in a deep voice: "No one comes to visit the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Fellow Daoist Qi specially came to visit my Luoyun Sect. I guess he must have something important to tell you."

"Qi is here to visit you. I do have something important to ask for. I heard that the Spirit Eye Tree in the Yunmeng Mountains is a sacred tree with all kinds of wonderful medicinal effects, so I would like to ask for a piece of its roots to bring back for planting. What do you think?"

Qi Yuan spoke sincerely and calmly.

Ok?
Unexpectedly, the other party also had his eyes on the Spirit Eye Tree.

Cheng Tiankun sneered a few times, and thinking of his recent experience, his attitude inevitably became a little cold.

Lu Luo saw his senior brother's expression and couldn't help coughing. He said, "The Spirit Eye Tree is under the jurisdiction of the three Yunmeng sects. As for Fellow Daoist Qi's intention, we in Luoyun Sect cannot make a decision alone. We need the consent of the other two sects."

Cheng Tiankun realized that he had lost his composure, and nodded with an appropriate smile.

"No problem. Please ask the two Taoist friends to invite the Taoist friends from Gu Jian Men and Bai Qiao Yuan to come over and discuss it together." Qi Yuan continued.

Look at the other person's persistence.

Cheng Tiankun couldn't help but remind him, "Although the value of the Spirit Eye Tree is extremely high, the spiritual energy required to feed it is very rich. In addition, the Yunmeng Mountains are blessed with such a unique terrain that naturally breeds such a sacred tree. In previous years, other Taoist friends came to ask for transplants, but none of them succeeded when they took them back. Taoist friend Qi, think twice, lest you lose both the wife and the army."

"Brother Cheng is right. If you want to ask for the alcohol liquid, our three sects can discuss it and give you some, but the capacity may be very small."

Lu Luo added on the side.

After all, their Luoyun Sect did not want to offend Qi Yuan for no reason. Instead, they wanted to make friends with the person in front of them. However, the output of the spirit tree liquid is scarce and precious, and the amount that can be distributed is very small.

Qi Yuan said with a firm face: "I have made up my mind, and I hope you two Taoist friends will support me."

Although the alcohol liquid can reproduce infinitely, its value is far less than that of a whole Spirit Eye Tree.

Lu Luo's eyes flashed, and he looked at Brother Cheng to see what he meant.

Cheng Tiankun thought for a while and nodded slowly.

For both public and private reasons, we must first invite the Ancient Sword Sect and Baiqiao Academy to discuss the matter before we can make a final decision.

Lu Luo got the meaning, took out a sound transmission note from the storage bag, whispered a few words, then threw it out and fled out of the sect hall at a very fast speed.

Cheng Tiankun said: "Fellow Daoist Qi, drink some spiritual tea first, and wait for everyone to arrive, then we can discuss it."

"Okay..." Qi Yuan agreed and turned to discuss issues related to cultivation.

Taking advantage of the free time, they can kill time and avoid appearing to have nothing to talk about, which would only add to the awkwardness.

Secondly, the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators of Luoyun Sect are also veteran cultivators. Naturally, they have unique insights into the doubts regarding cultivation, so it would be better to learn more about them.

About half an incense stick of time.

Led by the Luoyun Sect's leader, two Nascent Soul cultivators dressed in different attires walked into the hall with the gait of dragons and tigers.

One of them was a young woman, very pretty and wearing a white palace dress.

The other was a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples and a somewhat fierce look.

Cheng Tiankun stood up to greet them and said, "This is Fellow Daoist Ming Xin from the Ancient Sword Sect and Fellow Daoist Ding from the Baiqiao Academy."

Qi Yuan left his seat and bowed, saying, "I am Qi Yuan from Yue State, nice to meet you two fellow Taoists."

Upon hearing this, the monk named Ding from Baiqiao Academy looked at him carefully and said with a bow, "So you are the ruler of Yue State. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I have long heard of the deeds of the Kingdom of Yue, and I know that Fellow Daoist Qi is a handsome and suave man. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed true."

Mingxin's sweet smile added a touch of softness to the solemn hall.

Qi Yuan responded with some words and stopped the topic.

Then everyone sat down.

Cheng Tiankun told the two of them what happened and then said nothing more.

The cultivator named Ding said, "It's not impossible for Fellow Daoist Qi to transplant a section of the Spirit Eye Tree's roots, but let me be frank. Spirit trees are extremely rare, and we need to pay a high price to our three sects. In addition, there is no example of transplanted roots surviving."

"That's what I meant as well." Ming Xin snorted softly through her red lips.

As the newly promoted ruler of the four countries, Qi Yuan has a high status and his cultivation strength is stronger than those of his peers. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will sooner or later cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage.

There is no need to make enemies with them just for a piece of root.

But the problem also needs to be made clear, so as to avoid blaming the three Yunmeng sects later.

The power that Qi Yuan can mobilize right now is far more than that of a single sect. If he deliberately attacks the three Yunmeng sects, they will not be able to withstand it.

"Qi understands. What do you mean, Brother Cheng?" Qi Yuan turned his head and looked to the other side.

Cheng Tiankun smiled and said, "Since the Ancient Sword Sect and Baiqiao Academy have agreed, our Luoyun Sect will naturally cooperate with us..."

Our three factions have agreed to your request. Now it depends on whether the bargaining chips you, Qi Yuan, give us are appropriate.

"Qi thanks all fellow Taoists for their support." Qi Yuan greeted everyone with a smile, then slapped his storage bag, and several rays of light flew out, forming a series of round light balls floating in front of his eyes.

"There are ancient treasures, thousand-year-old elixirs, precious refining materials, a set of Yuanying stage formation flags, and longevity pills that increase life span. Please choose from them, fellow Taoists."

Qi Yuan raised his hand and said with great confidence.

Among them, there are three bottles of longevity pills.

When he heard about the longevity pill, Cheng Tiankun shuddered all over. He even forgot to deal with the tea that spilled from the cup in his hand and wet his clothes, and just stared at the longevity pill.

With the longevity pill, he can definitely prolong his life for a while, waiting for the rising star of the sect to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

When cultivator Ding saw so many precious treasures, he couldn't help but be excited. However, when he thought that the other party was someone who could fight with a Nascent Soul cultivator, he immediately suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart to avoid bringing disaster to the sect.

He raised his hand and took out some refining materials and a bottle of longevity pills.

Ming Xin's eyes flickered, and with a gentle move, she put the Yuanying stage formation flag and a bottle of longevity essence into the storage bag.

Now that the two families have taken the treasures, only the Luoyun Sect is left.

Lu Luo moved and wanted to raise his hand to take the treasure, but was stopped by Cheng Tiankun, and his expression changed slightly.

I wondered in my heart whether Senior Brother Cheng wanted to change his mind at the last minute?
After noticing Cheng Tiankun's actions, the faces of the monks surnamed Ding and Ming Xin changed rapidly. If Cheng Tiankun disagreed, they would curse him.

Why didn't you refuse earlier or later, but wanted to go back on your word after they took the treasure?

Isn't this making fun of the two factions?

Qi Yuan's face remained solemn and he said, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will do my best to help you."

With his level of formation skills, he could indeed sneak in and cut off a piece of spiritual tree root, but the three Yunmeng sects are members of the Tiandao Alliance. Once the matter is exposed, he will lose the support of Long Han and his wife, and will be attacked from three sides.

Although his relationship with Master Zhiyang was not that bad, Qi Yuan did not dare to guarantee that the other party would not do anything sneaky in secret.

Cheng Tiankun said: "Although I am tempted by the treasure, I can still let it go, so I want to try another way to trade with Fellow Daoist Qi."

"Please speak!" Qi Yuan said.

Cheng Tiankun smiled and said, "I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Qi to be a guest elder of Luoyun Sect."

what?
A guest elder of Luoyun Sect.

Cultivator Ding and Ming Xin were shocked, and then they vaguely understood Cheng Tiankun's intention.

Lu Luo's expression also changed, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qi Yuan said helplessly: "I am already the ruler of Yue State. It is not appropriate for me to be a guest elder of Luoyun Sect, right?"

"It's indeed not very reasonable, but I don't care." Cheng Tiankun said with determination.

Generally, guest elders will only be affiliated with one sect and cannot be affiliated with a second sect.

Especially since Qi Yuan holds the title of ruler of four countries, it is even more inappropriate for him to be a guest elder of another family.

However, there are exceptions to everything. There was once a cultivator who held the position of guest elder in multiple sects and received spirit stone rewards from many of them.

If there hadn’t been a fierce conflict between two of the sects, and they had mobilized guest elders to take action, the truth would have been discovered, and they would still be kept in the dark.

I heard that the result was that both sides made concessions, and the guest elder still maintained relations with both factions and did not sever his interest relationship.

There is no other reason, it is just that the sect cannot be without a protective umbrella, lest there be no one to rescue it when it encounters a crisis.

Generally speaking, as long as all parties agree, a situation where one fish, two birds with one stone is possible.

Qi Yuan suddenly thought of someone and said, "I am indeed not qualified to be a guest elder of Luoyun Sect, but there is one person I can recommend. His strength is not inferior to that of cultivators of the same level."

Think about how Han Li went to the far west to find Dayan Divine Lord for him, thus missing the main plot of joining the Luoyun Sect, which led to a slight deviation.

However, Qi Yuan felt that this kid would definitely have the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul when the time came. Twenty years later, he would definitely be a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Far West is only remote from the south of the sky, but the resources for forming a baby still exist there. In addition, the ten-thousand-year-old ghost Lord Dayan may guide Han Li in finding an opportunity to form a baby.

So twenty years later, Qi Yuan dared to guarantee that Han Li would be able to form a baby.

As for the reason, with Han Li's personality, how could he not be tempted by the essence of the Spirit Eye Tree?

Find a reason to do something, and with the magic of the Palm of the Sky Bottle, you can get it in an endless supply.

The alcohol solution can be used to prepare a kind of clear and bright spiritual water.

The spiritual water of Ming and Qing Dynasties is used to clean the eyes. Although it cannot increase one's cultivation level, it can allow the eyes to see through fog and stone from now on, and have some unimaginable wonderful magical powers.

With large-scale and continuous cleaning, the eyes will gain a lot of benefits.

In addition, there is a corpse goblin near the Luoyun Sect that can be refined into the Tianjue Demon Corpse. This means that Han Li has a good chance of joining the Luoyun Sect.

Maybe in the end I'll thank him instead?

Using Han Li's own opportunities and then doing him a favor is a bit addictive...

Cheng Tiankun's heart moved, and he asked, "Where is he?"

As long as there is one more Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in charge of Luoyun Sect, it doesn’t matter who it is.

"Well, he went out to travel and might not come back for twenty years." Qi Yuan said without blushing.

Cheng Tiankun narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that most of the people recommended by Qi Yuan had good relationships with them.

If he agreed, would Qi Yuan not help his friend if he was in trouble in the future?
Although it is very subtle, it does not prevent one from taking a gamble. At least there will be a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, so it doesn't matter even if one loses in the end.

Then he readily agreed.

The roots of the Spirit Eye Tree were cut by monks from three sects.

Qi Yuan did not go down to see it, but he also knew the general appearance of the Spirit Eye Tree. It was just a straight green stone pillar, which was really not very good to see...

Soon, the monks from the three sects flew back together, and Cheng Tiankun presented them with a black wooden box, about the size of a palm, with a smile.

Qi Yuan waved his sleeve, took the black wooden box over, and took off the lid, revealing a section of light green roots, which looked like the rhizomes of wild grass and exuded a distinct spiritual energy.

Confirmed.

Immediately put it into the storage bag and take it back to cultivate.

By now, the trip to Xiguo was almost over.

The only thing left is that I haven't seen Song Yu...

If there is no chance, then let’s talk about it next time. Anyway, there will be a chance to see it in the Nine-Nation Alliance Border War and the Demon Valley.

Chat and sit for a while.

Qi Yuan proposed to leave Luoyun Sect.

Flying a distance of about 20 to 30 kilometers.

Qi Yuan suddenly stopped, and there was a barren mountain valley nearby. He said in a deep voice: "You have followed me for so long, come out now."

Ever since he left Luoyun Sect, he noticed someone following him.

If he was someone with ulterior motives, he would have been shot dead long ago.

Under a big tree, a graceful figure walked out slowly. She looked as if she was afraid that Qi Yuan would blame her, so her body trembled slightly, appearing quite weak.

Qi Yuan looked at the other party and said, "Miss Mu, you are following me, aren't you afraid that I will accidentally kill you?"

"Junior is indeed afraid!" Mu Peiling said in a weak voice.

In fact, she didn't know why she followed Qi Yuan. Maybe she subconsciously regarded him as a life-saving straw.

It is impossible for the sect to stop family marriages.

The interests here are extremely intertwined and complicated. The Luoyun Sect is powerless, not to mention that Mu Peiling's master is only a Jindan cultivator and can do nothing.

At the moment, Han Li did not appear in Luoyun Sect, so Qi Yuan became the lifeline that Mu Peiling thought she could grab.

If she allowed her behavior to continue, the only outcome for her would be marrying into the Yan family and staying with that disgusting man for the rest of her life.

Qi Yuan understood her intention, and took out a token and the Dian Feng Pei Yuan Gong jade slip from his storage bag, threw them over together, and said: "Practice it, and when you think it through, bring the token to find me in the Huang Feng Valley of Yue Kingdom."

After saying this, the figure flew away without mercy.
