Half a month later...

Stone chamber.

Since moving into Mu Qing's cave, Qi Yuan has not left even a step. He has been sitting cross-legged on the cushion with his eyes closed, and he has not even taken the initiative to expose those who were secretly monitoring him.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, my master invites you..."

At this moment, a deep voice came from outside.

Hear the words.

Qi Yuan opened his eyes and flashed to the door. After opening it, he saw a golden monkey waiting for him. Its cultivation level was at the Refining Void Realm...

Said: "Is Brother Mu Daoyou's injury healed?"

"Please don't worry about the master's injury, Brother Qi. Please go to the hall in front for a chat." The golden ape said calmly, waving his hand.

Mu Qing self-destructed half of his vitality and suffered serious injuries. Without a panacea to take, it would be difficult for him to recover even after hundreds of years.

Why not take advantage of this and trade with her for the Five-Colored Peacock Blood and the upper half of the Thunder Sacrifice Technique.

Having made up his mind, Qi Yuan followed the golden ape. The two of them walked through the winding corridor and came to a bright hall.

Mu Qing was sitting at one side of the Eight Immortals Table, his aura seemed very steady.

"Master, Fellow Daoist Qi is here..." the golden ape said loudly, and then he stood behind the woman.

Qi Yuan said with a warm face: "Daoyou Mu..."

Mu Qing looked slightly stunned, and did not even stand up. She said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, please take a seat. I was in trouble half a month ago, and it was only thanks to your escort that I was able to return safely. We can now discuss the deal you mentioned."

After so many days, her internal injuries had been stabilized, and she wanted to resolve the hidden danger of Qi Yuan and drive him out of the cave.

As for the transaction, what good things can a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage come up with to impress her?

After Qi Yuan sat down, he showed a calm demeanor, took out a folding fan, and gently waved it, saying: "Daoyou Mu has been entrenched in the depths of the abyss for a long time. I must have obtained a lot of good treasures over the years. I came here because of your reputation, so I naturally prepared the corresponding spiritual objects."

As he spoke, he swiped the folding fan in his hand towards the table. A colorful light flashed, and suddenly a small green jade box appeared.

Under the gazes of Mu Qing and the others, it slowly opened, revealing a black spiritual flower.

This black spiritual flower has eight petals in total and no pistil in the center. It looks black, but it contains a pure wood-attribute scent and reveals a vibrant spiritual charm.

"The black spirit flower of the Mu tribe?" Mu Qing was very knowledgeable and recognized it immediately. He stood up with a look of surprise and joy.

She was originally formed from the condensed body of the wood spirit, so she is very knowledgeable and familiar with wood-attributed spiritual medicines, and their properties are very compatible with hers.

If this black spirit flower could heal her injuries, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the healing time.

"Brother Daoist Mu should not miss this urgently needed spiritual object." Qi Yuan said with a smile on his face.

Judging from the value of this black spirit flower of moderate age, it is enough to exchange for the treasure he needs.

Mu Qing gazed deeply at him, re-evaluated the man in her heart, and became more cautious. She said softly, "You have a keen eye, and I admire you. I have a bottle of five-colored peacock blood. It is also a flying spirit like you, and it meets your needs for refining. How about exchanging it for a black spirit flower?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a small bright red bottle appeared in her jade hand. She slightly opened the stopper and a breath of true spiritual energy immediately burst out.

The five-colored peacock also has a great reputation among many true spirits, and ranks among the top true spirits of birds.

The five-colored divine light it possesses is famous in the spiritual world. It specifically prohibits the five elements and is extremely powerful.

The magical Five Elements Vajra Circle created by Qi Yuan has the same characteristics as it, and from now on the two only need to complement each other's details to restrain the power of the Five Elements and strengthen it a lot.

"make a deal!"

The two hit it off and exchanged treasures.

Mu Qing looked at the black spirit flower carefully and couldn't help but smile with joy. He couldn't even suppress the emotions in his heart.

Just now, she secretly used her secret technique to check the authenticity of the spiritual flower and confirmed that the other party was not deceiving.

With the help of the black spirit flower in healing, the crisis brought by the damage to the body was greatly alleviated.

"The Black Spirit Flower is extremely important to me. If Fellow Daoist Qi has any extra, I am willing to pay a high price and buy them all."

"Haha, I'm sorry to disappoint Fellow Daoist Mu. I sacrificed my life to get this black spirit flower, and there are no more left." Qi Yuan said seriously.

This substance is a panacea for healing wounds and should not be exposed too much.

Mu Qing's eyes flickered when she heard this, but she didn't ask any more questions. She didn't know whether she believed it or not, so she said softly, "It's my greed that made Fellow Daoist Qi laugh at me."

"I understand Brother Mu's situation. It is understandable that he is anxious. I don't have the Black Spirit Flower, but I have other healing treasures."

Qi Yuan smiled, and when he stretched out his right hand from his sleeve, he was already holding a thin-necked bottle about an inch high. He untied the restraint and waved it towards the person in front of him...

The Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk's ability to restore mana has an excellent effect until the fusion stage. He plans to exchange it for the upper half of the Thunder Sacrifice Technique.

If used properly, the eternal elixir in the bottle would be enough for Mu Qing to save his life several times.

"This... Now I am even more curious about Fellow Daoist Qi. You even possess the rare Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk. You are no longer an ordinary Void Refining cultivator."

Mu Qing stared at the narrow-necked bottle with her almond-shaped eyes, the color of which looked like starlight, and spoke with a look of shock and curiosity.

Although the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk does not have a significant healing effect, it can instantly restore magic power, making it an excellent treasure for a comeback.

If she was able to see through Qi Yuan's true colors, she would have been able to take advantage of one of these two rare treasures.

"Qi has recently become interested in the thunder system. Fellow Daoist Mu has relevant techniques and powerful insights, so this deal can go ahead." Qi Yuan did not specifically ask for the thunder sacrifice technique, he just provided Mu Qing with an idea.

These combined demon kings have stayed in the abyss for who knows how many years, basically isolated from the spiritual world outside, and are hiding many secrets.

His direct naming of the person brought him into suspicion.

Mu Qing smiled softly and responded, "Then I have finalized this deal with Fellow Daoist Qi."

She spread out her bare hands, a green light flashed in her palms, and a light green jade slip appeared.

He continued, "This jade slip contains a technique for offering sacrifices to thunder. It is not of a very high grade, but it contains many ways to drive away thunder. Fellow Daoist, please take a look at it first."

The Mu Qing Demon King did not explain clearly. The thunder sacrifice technique in her hand was only a part of it, and the rest was stored in the human race's holy island.

Qi Yuan said this in his heart, then raised his hand to take the light green jade slip, browsed the contents with his spiritual sense, and nodded slightly.

The jade slip has anti-peeping restrictions, so only some of the content can be seen. However, based on his experience and analysis, there are no major problems overall.

Perhaps, Mu Qing would deliberately conceal some details.

He said: "What a clever way to drive away thunder. Brother Mu's method is exactly what I want. I'll give you the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk."

The thin-necked bottle was wrapped in colorful rays of light and flew to the other side.

Mu Qing's expression froze. After checking that the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk had not been tampered with, he pinched a spell with his jade finger and immediately withdrew his hand, saying, "I have already erased all the restrictions on the jade slip. From now on, Fellow Daoist Qi can meditate with peace of mind." The light green jade slip emitted a burst of light and then returned to its original state, looking less illusory.

Qi Yuan scanned the area with his spiritual sense, revealing a satisfied look. He then put the Thunder Sacrifice Jade Slip into his storage bracelet and said:

"I heard that there are other combined demon kings in the abyss. I am bold enough to make a deal with them, but I am unable to contact them. Can I ask Daoist Mu to let them know? After the deal is done, I can give you a small bottle of ten thousand year old spiritual milk."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qi is a man of great skill and courage. I admire you very much. Just wait for good news." Mu Qing's eyes paused slightly and he agreed readily.

Hearing this…

Qi Yuan nodded with a smile. With Mu Qing going to contact Liu Zu and the others, half of the work would be done.

The two chatted for a while and then he suggested leaving.

Suddenly, only the master and his servant were left in the hall.

The golden ape said with an interested expression: "Master, I think Qi Yuan seems to have some rare treasures hidden, even the Black Spirit Flower. This may be an excuse. Now that he is staying in our territory, why not wait for an opportunity to kill him?"

He just watched Qi Yuan take out treasures one by one, how could he not be excited.

"Don't move. Now that I think about it, his appearance might be intentional. If so, it means he has prepared a backup plan. If things don't work out, we will be in trouble. Besides, this person's magic power is very strong, far surpassing Fei Lingshuai. He is definitely a tough nut to crack."

"We just encountered a disaster and have not recovered yet. We should not cause any more trouble."

Mu Qing thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, suppressed his greed and said.

The golden ape said without giving up: "It's just a Fei Ling Marshal. No matter how powerful his magic is, it shouldn't be a problem for the master to subdue the target with the help of the restrictions in the cave."

"Don't worry. Dixue and his men are not kind people. Let's use someone else to test them. If they are not strong enough, it won't be too late to take action later."

Taking his own injuries into consideration, Mu Qing would rather get fewer treasures than act rashly.

The golden ape bowed and said, "Master is wise!"

After half a month.

Wood Spirit Cave, Wood Fairy Palace…

There were wooden chairs placed in the hall, on which sat four demon kings in the fusion stage, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Except Mu Qing.

There were two people sitting on the left, both of them were covered in a blood-red robe. Their shapes and auras were exactly the same, and it was impossible to tell each other apart.

On the other side, there was an unusually tall man wearing a black cloak. He exuded a chill that made people retreat three feet away, and even the air nearby seemed to be frozen.

The last one was a beautiful middle-aged woman with snow-white hair and a bloodless face. She was wearing a turquoise palace dress and was sitting near Mu Qing.

Qi Yuan received Mu Qing's message and walked into the hall under the guidance of the golden ape. In an instant, he felt several combined spiritual pressures. He did not use any magic power, but relied on his physical strength to sit down with a calm expression.

“What an arrogant boy! Fairy Mu, is this the person you said wants to trade with us?” the man in the blood-red robe said coldly.

Mu Qing said helplessly: "Brother Dixue, it's just a little courtesy, why do you care?"

"A Fei Ling Marshal dares to show contempt. I want to see how capable he is and whether he is worthy of trading treasures with us."

Before the man in the blood-stained robe could finish his words, the figure beside him turned into a beam of blood light and shot over. His aura suddenly reached its maximum, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on his head.

At the same time, a strange red light emanated from the blood shadow's body. With a flash, a huge purple-red axe about ten feet long suddenly appeared in his hand.

He chopped directly towards Qi Yuan...

A sharp blood-red light appeared in the void, suppressing the formations around the hall, causing them to flash wildly.

Mu Qing, the owner, was frightened and quickly cast a spell to control it.

Nine Palaces Heavenly Qian Talisman!
Qi Yuan waved his sleeves forward, and suddenly a sky full of silver talismans flew out and circled in the void. The small silver characters on the talismans emitted a dazzling glow.

The next moment, the one hundred and eight talismans formed a mysterious pattern and exploded and shattered at the same time, turning into a silvery light.

In the light, the shadow of a huge palace was looming, as if it was not a place on earth.

The palace was ablaze with silver light, with countless runes circling and dancing above it. At the same time, heavenly music could be heard faintly from the center, making people feel relaxed and happy.

In the distance of the silver light, you can vaguely see high walls, palaces, towers, and mountains, which are better than a fairyland in the sky.

The attack from the purple-blood giant axe fell into it, just like hitting a pool of cotton, without causing any damage at all.

Apart from a huge flash of silver light in the palace, there was no follow-up.

Qi Yuan sat behind the Nine Palaces Heavenly Stems Talisman, looking at it with cold eyes, as if he had expected it.

I can't say that this set of talismans can trap a cultivator in the fusion stage for a long time, but it will not be a problem for them to withstand a powerful attack from the Earth Blood Monster.

If it really doesn't work, he will throw out a few more sets of Nine Palaces Heavenly Stems Talismans and let the Earth Blood Monster play with it...

Mu Qing's eyes changed slightly, and there was a hint of relief on his face, and he began to pay some attention to Qi Yuan.

The man in the black cloak and the beautiful middle-aged woman all showed surprised expressions and put away their contemptuous looks.

Just relying on this talisman, Qi Yuan already has the means to deal with them.

"Brother Dixue, this is not the place for you to act recklessly." Mu Qing shouted loudly.

The old monster Dixue lost face, but he did not pursue the matter immediately. He summoned the puppet back along the stairs and changed his tone to a gentle one:
"I was reckless, please don't blame me, Fairy Mu. Besides, this fellow Taoist is very capable. I admit that you are qualified to do business with us."

"No fight, no acquaintance. My name is Qi Yuan, from the Tianpeng tribe."

The magic spell in Qi Yuan's hand changed, and the 108 talismans all returned into his sleeves, and the silver light disappeared in an instant.

"Six legs..." the cloaked man responded calmly.

The middle-aged beautiful woman said calmly: "My surname is Lan..."

"I am respected as Dixue. When I heard that Brother Qi wanted to make a deal with us, why don't we just do it quickly?" The old monster Dixue said in a loud voice.

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking..."

Afterwards, he traded with the old monster Dixue the methods of refining puppets and talismans.

The beautiful woman named Lan is proficient in the art of driving away thunder. Her methods in this regard are much more powerful than Mu Qing's. She can help him comprehend the art of thunder sacrifice.

The treasure that Liuzu took out surprised Qi Yuan. It was a piece of rare spiritual wood containing the attributes of the five elements, named Luoyu Five Spiritual Wood.

Although this spiritual wood has strong five elements attributes, it is also surrounded by a heavy dark attribute aura, so there are not many cultivators who are suitable for it.

Qi Yuan traded the Jia Yuan Fu, the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk, and the spiritual treasure with Liu Zu and others, and got what he needed.

Once these treasures are refined, the power of the evil-repelling divine thunder emitted by his golden thunder spirit body will be significantly improved... (End of this chapter)
