"Fellow Daoist Qi?"

Xuan Yunzi's expression changed immediately, and his figure flashed, intentionally distanced himself from Qi Yuan to prevent any accidents, and then said: "This matter is serious, I need to report it to Uncle Bai, and let him decide."

Hong Fu's eyes flashed with anxiety, and she said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding. Don't worry, just talk properly."

Qi Yuan looked slightly solemn. The importance of this thing in the Taiyi Sect was beyond his imagination. Even if he finally got it, he would have to pay a heavy price.

"Well, Qi will talk to Fellow Daoist Bai."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi, for your tolerance." Xuan Yunzi's face showed joy when she heard that. She was really afraid that the other party would snatch the person away and kill her in the process.

After all, Qi Yuan’s final strength was enough to fight against the Demon Ancestor’s soul, which meant that his normal abilities had already surpassed the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Fighting with such a monster would undoubtedly be a way to seek death.

Xuan Yunzi flicked her sleeves, and a stream of magic flew out to put the Taixuan Jade Art and the fragments of the Yin-Yang Diagram into her bag. She patted the storage bag, and the leader token flew out at high speed. She pointed at it...

The leader's token suddenly burst out with a gray light, enveloping the figures of the three people. The gray light shrank in the blink of an eye, and the treasure house returned to silence.

Qingyun Hall.

Qi Yuan sat upright on the armchair, with his right hand on the coffee table pressing the teacup. His mind flashed quickly, and his right palm hidden in his sleeve touched the freshly made spirit-summoning talisman.

He has kept this talisman on his sleeve ever since he entered Taiyi Gate, ready to deal with any unexpected events at any time.

Master Hongfu sat next to him, her beautiful face showing a hint of sadness.

Xuan Yunzi was sitting opposite him, with his eyes closed and resting.

After coming out of the treasure house, the three of them came here directly and waited for the arrival of Old Ghost Bai.

After a moment, two beams of light flew into the hall. Bai Laogui walked first, and Xuan Wuzi was a step slower.

Old Ghost Bai looked at everyone's faces, then fixed his gaze on Qi Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Daoyou Qi, a real person who does not show his identity, even has the fragments of the Taoist weapon that has been lost for ten thousand years in my Taiyi Sect, hehe..."

There were two sneers behind the tone.

"In a word, if you trade the fragments to me, you can ask for anything you want. As long as they do not violate my bottom line, I will try my best to agree to them." Qi Yuan's black eyes moved, looking directly into Bai Laogui's eyes.

Bai Laogui looked contemptuous and said, "Why should I trade with you? Don't you think about your current situation?"

Xuan Wuzi's figure floated and landed near the entrance of the hall.

"I'm not bragging. If you make enemies with me today, even if we can't wipe out Taiyi Sect in one go, your sect will still fall from the top of the righteous path after this battle. When the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Ten Thousand Demons Valley learn of this, will they just sit there and wait for death?"

Qi Yuan grabbed the teacup with one hand and took a sip calmly. Eighteen puppets in the late Nascent Soul stage suddenly appeared behind him. Three streams of light flew in from outside the hall and landed beside him, revealing the figures of Gui Ling, Silver-winged Yaksha, and the lion beast.

As soon as he came out of the treasure house, he naturally notified the three demons to come quickly.

Negotiation requires momentum and strength.

When Bai Laogui saw the capable general beside Qi Yuan, his eyes twitched violently. This force was enough to pierce through Taiyi Sect. His expression changed and he said unhappily:
"Master Xuan Wuzi, please ask the people outside to leave."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan waved his hand and asked the three demons to step back. He turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai is indeed a reasonable person. I will learn from you in this regard."

"Enough of the small talk. The basic material of the Yin-Yang Diagram is an alien object that was obtained by the founder of our Taiyi Sect. It was continuously forged for three thousand years by the sect's weapon refiners before it melted. It was also mixed with many rare materials before the Yin-Yang Diagram could be refined."

"Fellow Daoist Qi, do you think I will give in to such a rare Taoist weapon?" Old Ghost Bai intentionally revealed the origin of the Yin-Yang Diagram, hoping that the other party would give up.

"Two puppets in the late Nascent Soul stage, without replica spiritual treasures." Qi Yuan did not respond, but made a direct offer.

Anything in the world that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Old Ghost Bai glanced at the black-robed puppet. To be honest, although there were puppets in the Taiyi Sect, their power was not very satisfactory.

If there were two puppets in the late Nascent Soul stage to fight to the death, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the sect.

When Xuan Wuzi heard this, he also looked at the black-robed puppet with envy.

“It’s not a question of money. The Yin-Yang diagram is too complicated for me…” Old Bai opened his mouth to refuse, but was interrupted by the other party.

"Add another puppet. This treasure is made from alien objects, which means there is no material to repair it. By trading with me, Taiyi Sect can increase its strength by half at once, which is better than giving up its foundation again." Qi Yuan smiled and said calmly.

"Boy, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" The old ghost Bai suddenly showed his aura, and his spiritual pressure like the collapse of the sky rushed towards Qi Yuan. He slapped the coffee table angrily, and a pile of sawdust fell to the ground.

Qi Yuan instantly consumed a Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman, and a colorful spiritual shield immediately flashed around him. He said, "Brother Bai, break it first, otherwise it will be Qi's massacre of Taiyi Sect. If you are not afraid, how can I live to this day?"

Old Ghost Bai stared at the thick spiritual shield, feeling quite helpless. This was not even considering that Qi Yuan could forcibly break through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

With the blessing of this defensive talisman, a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage will be unmatched in attack and defense, and almost no one in the human world has the strength to shake him.

"Your Excellency also has relatives in Tiannan, you have to consider them."

"Qi, to be honest, if Brother Bai goes to attack my territory personally, there is an 80% chance that you will die in Tiannan. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Qi Yuan thought about how he had been giving Ruyin the materials to practice making formations over the years, and even today he was not quite sure how advanced Ruyin's formation skills were.

Externally, he can easily find the bottom~
The defensive formation of the Yellow Maple Valley gradually changed along with Ruyin's formation level...

It is no longer what it used to be.

The woman who stole Qi Yunxiao away back then is undoubtedly the correct answer.

With this formation, everyone can sit in the rear and fight against countless cultivators of the same level.

"Are you trying to scare me?" Old Ghost Bai sneered. Even though he had experienced the Demonic Sect's great dance of thousands of demons, he still managed to escape unscathed.

Seeing that Bai Laogui didn't believe him, Qi Yuan gave him a casual expression.

quite a while.

Old Ghost Bai grumbled to himself that Qi Yuan's demeanor was too relaxed. He didn't look relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside at all. He seemed like he was truly confident.

If it were any other late Nascent Soul cultivator, or a Spirit Transformation monster, he would never have any doubts.

However, Qi Yuan's actions were not what a normal cultivator would do. Which sect or cultivator in the Great Jin could possess eighteen late Nascent Soul puppets and spiritual treasure replicas?

The Divine Transformation Stage, which was like a chasm in the sky, could break through at any time. It was closer to me than the son of Heaven...

Thinking of the Yin-Yang Diagram Taoist artifact, although it had a strong foundation, it was also broken.

When the time comes to repair it, the Taiyi Sect at least does not have the same extraterrestrial objects to make up for it. It is hard to say whether it will be successful if other rare materials are used to repair it.

Old Ghost Bai realized that he couldn't capture Qi Yuan safely, so his mind began to relax. His gray eyes flashed, and he said, "If you want to take the Yin-Yang diagram fragment, that's fine. I don't need a Yuanying puppet. Instead, I want to ask Fellow Daoist Qi to be a guest elder in our sect. How about that?"

Guest elders usually only come to the rescue when the sect is in danger of life and death, and are essentially very idle.

He had never seen a person like Qi Yuan before.

If he could be tied to the Taiyi Sect, there would be a great possibility that it would help the sect continue its inheritance. Upon hearing this, Xuan Wuzi opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but eventually gave up the idea.

"Isn't your appetite a bit too big? Besides, it was your fellow Daoist Xuan Qingzi who took the initiative to ask me to enter the treasury to select three treasures. I think you two had no objection before." Qi Yuan's eyes suddenly became cold, and he glanced back and forth at Xuan Wuzi and Bai Laogui.

"Yes, the promise is still valid, and we will never go back on our word. But this fragment of the Yin-Yang diagram no longer belongs to the treasure house from now on, so Brother Qi can't pick it up." Old Ghost Bai grinned and acted like a rogue.

He has been practicing for so long that he has already mastered various strategies.

Anyway, he can't fight, but he still has the confidence to seize the treasure.

Qi Yuan's eyes froze for a moment. This was the first time he had seen an old monster in the state of transformation actively playing rogue. Using all his trump cards to fight to the death with Old Ghost Bai was definitely not a good idea.

He couldn't wade into the waters of Dajin as it would easily pull at his trouser legs, constantly draining his mind and thus delaying his practice.

"Forget about the guest elder. How about taking action twice instead?"

"The method is good, but the number of times is too small. Just use it ten times. After all, it is a Taoist weapon comparable to Tongtian Lingbao, and it has very rare growth potential."

"It's broken. It will cost a fortune to repair it. Three times..."

"Deal!" Old Bai slapped his thigh and agreed.

Three chances to escape are enough to help Taiyi Sect survive for a long time, but we cannot be greedy and demand more.

Qi Yuan thought that he would not be able to fulfill his promise as promised after he ascended to the spiritual world, so he was not too worried. With the strength of the Ether Sect, nothing major would happen in the next few hundred years.

A promise made three times is almost certain to be invalidated.

"Junior brother Xuan Yunzi, please bring here the treasures selected by Fellow Daoist Qi." Old Ghost Bai turned around and said calmly.

Xuan Yunzi did not dare to delay. He immediately reached into his storage bag, took out two boxes and handed them to Bai Laogui.

Old Ghost Bai first took a look at the dark wooden box. Even without opening it, he immediately guessed what was inside: "Taixuan Jade Art, Daoist Fellow Qi wants to change to practicing my Taoist art? This is really cause for celebration."

At the same time, I was thinking, could it be that Qi Yuan has the materials to repair the Yin-Yang diagram?
"It is only used as an auxiliary for cultivation. Brother Bai is worrying too much." Qi Yuan said indifferently.

Old Ghost Bai raised his eyes to look at Qi Yuan, then lowered his head and opened the jade box, taking out a lump-shaped object from it. There were obvious fracture lines on the edges of the object and it was black in appearance.

Qi Yuan thought about it and realized that the gap just matched the two stones in his hands, but he didn't know why Old Ghost Bai didn't give them to him directly.

“Fellow Daoist Qi may have some doubts in his mind, but you will understand if you read on. If this old man had not been here, this should have been demonstrated to you by Junior-Martial Brother Xuan Yunzi.” Old Ghost Bai flipped his palm, a white light flashed, and a slender white jade bottle appeared in his palm.

He poured a little blue liquid onto the fragments of the Yin-Yang diagram on the coffee table, and opened his mouth to spray a cloud of spiritual mist onto it.

In an instant, a murderous aura emanated from the surface of the fragment, and a blue liquid flashed and continued to penetrate into the object.

Ok?
This doesn't seem like a ban, but it contains a mysterious offensive.

The Taiyi Sect attaches too much importance to treasures.

Qi Yuan immediately understood that this was Old Ghost Bai removing the hidden killing move from the treasure to relieve him of his worries.

Soon, the murderous aura dissipated. Old Ghost Bai wanted to reach out to take the fragment of the Yin-Yang diagram, but unexpectedly it flew up automatically and rushed towards Qi Yuan.

How is this going?

Old Bai was suddenly dumbfounded.

Qi Yuan was stunned, not quite sure what was going on, wondering if it was Old Bai who did it on purpose...

Suddenly, his storage bag emitted a glow, and two spots of light flew out from it and flew towards the fragments in the air.

"Fragments of the Yin-Yang diagram?" Old Ghost Bai's tone sounded a little excited.

The three pieces of the Yin-Yang diagram fragments were spinning in circles, attracting each other. In the distance, a faint shadow of a Yin-Yang fish diagram emerged and rotated along with the main body.

A mighty power of Tao, a unity of heaven and man, suddenly filled the hall.

Snapped!
At this time, the three pieces of the Yin-Yang diagram fragments automatically aligned with the gap, making a strange noise, but the cracks still existed, and there was no sign of automatic repair.

Then it rushed to Qi Yuan's forehead in the blink of an eye, and shot out a black and white light that poured into his body, instantly generating a huge suction force.

Oh no, the Tao Seed has also changed.

Qi Yuan felt that the mutated Tao seed in his body showed signs of opening a portal, and a look of confusion flashed across his face, wondering whether he should interrupt the process.

But the next second, he had no time to think.

A crack suddenly appeared in the portal on the Dao Seed, and the purple thunder inside rushed out instantly. His magic power stayed in his Dantian without moving, as if it was suppressed.

The purple lightning flowed out along the meridians, rushed all the way to the center of the eyebrows, shot out in an instant, and continuously poured into the Yin-Yang diagram.

"What a strong aura of Taoism. What secrets does Brother Qi have?" Old Ghost Bai stared at the man, wanting to study him thoroughly.

He had never experienced such a majestic Dao rhythm.

When it comes to being the leader of Taoism, he has nothing to refute.

boom!
The three Yin-Yang diagrams suddenly separated and then quickly closed with a loud noise. A huge Yin-Yang fish diagram was suspended above the hall, and the black and white colors were slowly rotating with you in me and me in you.

Outside the temple, the clouds above the sky were also undergoing tremendous changes. With the top of the Qingyun Temple as the center, white clouds followed the flow and gradually formed a clear Tai Chi diagram, as if echoing the Yin-Yang fish diagram inside the temple.

Crackling!

The Yin-Yang diagram was covered by purple thunder, and the lightning arc drilled in through the cracks, and the Taoist rhyme emitted by the Taoist weapon became stronger.

What’s even more miraculous is that the crack seems to be healing, and some faint cracks are disappearing.

Qi Yuan noticed this phenomenon, his mind moved slightly, and he intentionally released the control of the Dao Seed. The Dao Gate suddenly opened a little wider, and the momentum of the purple thunder increased, and the thunder that flowed out naturally increased.
The palm-sized Yin-Yang diagram continued to absorb the purple thunder, and the black and white shadows it created slowly changed.

It's a bit like the style of ink painting.

The essence of the Taoist instrument sometimes fades and sometimes solidifies, just like yin and yang, stillness and movement.

Its cracks are disappearing.

It is rare for Qi Yuan to be able to repair a treasure without using the Chaos Cauldron.

Half a day passed, and everyone in the hall did not leave. They kept their eyes on Qi Yuan, wanting to see how things would turn out.

hum!
The shadow of the Tai Chi diagram suddenly shrank and eventually disappeared. The Taoist weapon itself made a clear sound and slowly fell down.

Qi Yuan reached out to take it, his eyes following it, and saw that all the cracks in the Tai Chi diagram had disappeared, and the three fragments were perfectly integrated into one.

The Tao seed in his body also closed its doors at this moment. No matter how he controlled it, there was no movement. Only the purple thunder did not decrease, which was very strange.

As for the name of the Taoist weapon, Qi Yuan prefers the word Tai Chi, since there is no set rule anyway. (End of this chapter)
