Chapter 254: Secret Meeting

Han Li looked at the pill recipe of this expert in front of him, frowned, and was somewhat speechless.

It was now noon on the second day of Han Li's arrival at Yan Ling Castle.

After a heated discussion by several new members all morning, the dozen or so cultivators in the room began to exchange the items they needed. Each person took turns saying the items they needed and the things they could take out for exchange, to see if other cultivators present were willing to trade.

Don't say, this small-scale exchange meeting really had several cultivators take out a few good things.

For example: the Fang surname woman from Heaven's Vault Fortress took out a piece of Sky Flower Stone for exchange, which was the best material for refining top-tier earth-attribute magic tools, and even some earth-attribute magic treasures with low requirements could use this material.

Another newly joined Spirit Beast Mountain cultivator took out an egg of a Rank 1 upper-tier monster beast, the Wind-Howling Eagle, which was a very good helper for cultivators after hatching, whether it was for keeping watch or finding things.

The things taken out by others, although not as dazzling as these two, were also some raw materials that were difficult to collect in ordinary markets.

Among them, Han Li really found a kind of medicinal herb needed for refining Spirit Gathering Pills, which surprised Han Li and made him pay seven or eight talismans of the early upper-tier to get it in his hand. Of course, the age was definitely insufficient, and he still needed to urge it to grow when he returned. But this also made him and the other party happy.

When it was Han Li's turn to speak, Han Li unceremoniously proposed that he had some early upper-tier talismans available for exchange, listed the other two medicinal materials he was still lacking one by one, and finally hesitated for a moment, adding a sentence about various pill recipes.

Since they were materials needed for ancient recipes, and Han Li hadn't collected them in the Yellow Maple Valley and Heaven Star Sect markets, they were naturally not common things. So the materials Han Li mentioned were mostly unheard of by other cultivators, and even if they had heard of them, they didn't have them in their hands. As for pill recipes, these cultivators wouldn't take them out to exchange for any talismans, and they all knew that Han Li was just saying it casually.

Seeing that he had been talking for a long time and still no one came out to exchange, Han Li knew there was no play, and sat back disappointed. But unexpectedly, someone suddenly opened his mouth unexpectedly:

"What kind of pill recipes do you accept? I have a pill recipe here, it's just a bit strange, you see how many talismans it can be exchanged for?"

Han Li heard this, felt happy in his heart, and blurted out without hesitation:

"Of course, as long as it is a pill recipe, I am willing to exchange."

After saying this, Han Li noticed that the person who said he had a pill recipe was actually Wuyouzi, this somewhat cold and remote Taoist priest.

Wuyouzi heard Han Li's words, and a trace of cunning appeared on his face, which was rare. Where was the dull and honest image he gave Han Li originally, which made Han Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Thus, the scene at the beginning appeared.

However, after Han Li took a rough look, he understood a few points why the other party would take it out for exchange.

This was actually an ancient recipe, and it was specifically used by ancient cultivators to raise spirit beasts, "Spirit Feeding Pill". According to the pill recipe, this kind of pill was not only extremely loved by most monster beasts, but also had the miraculous effect of urging spirit beasts to improve their ranks after taking it for a long time, which was absolutely the best pill for cultivating spirit beasts.

Seeing this, Han Li was shocked! Why would this Taoist priest take out such a valuable pill recipe for exchange? But after Han Li saw the raw materials needed for refining below, he suddenly realized and mocked himself, completely knowing why the other party didn't cherish it at all.

The raw materials needed for refining this "Spirit Feeding Pill" were truly shocking to ordinary cultivators. They were almost as precious and rare as the raw materials needed for the "Qi Refining Powder" that Han Li refined.

Don't say that the raw materials are difficult to collect, even if you can collect enough of these rare medicinal materials, who would really use them to make this "Spirit Feeding Pill", of course, they would keep them for their own use, after all, the improvement of their own magic power was much more cost-effective than using it on spirit beasts.

"Donor, you said that any pill recipe is fine, you won't go back on your word now, right!" The dry Taoist priest's face suddenly revealed a trace of cunning. Where was the dull and honest image he gave Han Li originally, which made Han Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Thus, the scene at the beginning appeared.

However, this pill recipe was useless to others, but to Han Li, the value was self-evident, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Han Li thought for a while, took out ten early upper-tier talismans from his storage bag, and threw them to the other party. These should satisfy the other party, after all, this pill recipe was just a waste recipe to ordinary cultivators, otherwise this Taoist priest would have long ago traded with those Spirit Beast Mountain people, how could it have remained in his hands until now.

Sure enough, Wuyouzi received these talismans and was satisfied and didn't speak anymore.

Then, after Han Li sat down, the next cultivator immediately stood up and said somewhat impatiently:

"I have some hundreds of years of iron wood, can..."

The exchange of items made the atmosphere in the room seem even hotter!

At the same time, inside the council hall of the Yan Family's Flying Cloud Pavilion, an extremely secret clan meeting was being held.

All the stewards and elders with great power gathered here, sitting in two rows, listening to the Yan family ancestor on the main seat. Beside the Yan family ancestor stood a beautiful woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was beautiful and charming.

"The conditions proposed by the Ghost Spirit Sect this time for the Yan family to return are very generous. Not only did they propose to lend the 'Ten Thousand Spirit True Scripture' sub-volume to our Yan family for a look, but they also wanted the position of Ghost Spirit Sect deputy sect master to be held by our Yan family. And their only requirement is that we must marry Yan'er to their Young Sect Master, and they will dual cultivate the Blood Spirit Technique together, and the position of the Yan family head in the future can only be held by the children of their Young Sect Master and Yan'er, and of course, the position of the Ghost Spirit Sect master will also be the same." The Yan family ancestor said with a gloomy face, although the voice was not loud, it was clear to everyone's ears, as if telling in their ears.

"Everyone, talk about it, and see where our Yan family should go. You must know that our Yan family's ancestors were actually cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect, but they were at odds with the cultivators in the sect, so they came to the Yue Kingdom to establish this foundation. Counting it, the current Ghost Spirit Sect master is still my junior martial nephew. Therefore, in terms of feelings, everyone should not have any concerns. All we need to consider is the gain and loss of our Yan family's interests."

"In addition, the Ghost Spirit Sect Young Sect Master also brought a piece of news that the demonic path six sects will invade the Yue Kingdom in five days. And the Jiang Kingdom and the Cheqi Kingdom have already fallen half a month ago, and most of the sects in the two countries have been destroyed, and a small part has surrendered and become affiliated sects of the demonic path six sects. Therefore, even if we Yan family don't agree to the Ghost Spirit Sect's conditions, we must consider how the Yan family will continue and survive after the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom are destroyed, which is the priority of our family."

The Yan family ancestor didn't wait for the Yan family people below to react from the first question, and threw out another thing that shocked them even more. This made the people below discuss one after another.

"What! The Jiang Kingdom and the Cheqi Kingdom were occupied by the demonic path six sects, this is impossible!"

"The strength of these two countries is not weak! They have been confronting the demonic path six sects for so many years and have nothing to do, how can they fall as soon as they say so?"

"It was taken down so quickly, is there any hidden secret in it?"

Obviously, these power-holding figures of the Yan family still found it hard to believe this news.

"Alright, whoever has any questions, just ask one by one, and making such a noise is not a system!" The Yan family ancestor saw this, his expression became cold, and said.

As soon as this remark came out, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. But everyone's eyes turned to a middle-aged Confucian scholar sitting in the third seat on the lower right of the red-haired old man.

The Yan family ancestor saw this situation clearly, frowned, and then spoke to the Confucian scholar with a kind expression:

"Xuan Ye, what do you think of this matter? You are the brain of our Yan family, this relates to the life and death of the Yan family, please analyze it with all your heart!"

"Yes, Ancestor!" The Confucian scholar didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly stood up and said.

"However, can grandson ask a few questions first, and then talk about other things?"

"Okay, of course! If you have any doubts, just ask! I know everything." The Yan family ancestor said solemnly.

After getting these words from the Yan family ancestor, the Confucian scholar nodded, and then asked solemnly:

"First, is this Blood Spirit Technique very powerful, and how much influence does Yan'er's Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude have on this technique after dual cultivation with the other party's Young Sect Master? Second, how did the other party find our Yan family, and know that our ancestors originally came from the Ghost Spirit Sect? Finally, is the news that the Jiang Kingdom and the Cheqi Kingdom were occupied by the demonic path six sects obtained entirely from the other party? If it is true, what is the Righteous Alliance of the Fengdu Kingdom doing now?"

The Confucian scholar asked three questions in one breath...
