Chapter 201

Sun rises and moon sets.

Jiang Jian cultivated in the Sea-Covering Cave, and a day passed quickly.

"Palace Master, it's time to set off."

Coral stood at the cave entrance, looking respectful, and spoke carefully.

Jiang Jian stopped cultivating, the bright golden vortex in his pupils faded, and he stood up and walked out of the Sea-Covering Cave.

Coral was a female-looking monster, with a soft and beautiful appearance, and her speech was also soft: "Master, I have prepared the carriage, four great demon generals are accompanying, and one hundred water soldiers are guarding."

In front of the Autumn Water Palace, a luxurious carriage was parked.

Dozens of water soldiers were carrying it, and four demon generals in armor stood on both sides.

Jiang Jian got into the carriage and headed toward the Carp-Watching Pavilion.

According to Long Gong rules.

To leave one's palace, one must ride a vehicle.

Otherwise, one would be attacked at will by the beings along the way.

The Carp-Watching Pavilion was located in the southwest corner of the Long Gong.

At this time.

Demon soldiers stood like a forest here, and the guard was strict.

But deep in the pavilion, the fragrance of spiritual delicacies and fruits wafted out.

"Jiang Jian is here."

Shang Tianji stood up and looked at the Long Gong road outside.

The few people at the banquet turned their heads one after another and looked over.

The carriage stopped.

"Autumn Water Palace Master, please."

A demon general stepped forward, bowed to Jiang Jian, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Jiang Jian nodded, followed him into the pavilion, and with a glance, saw two or three faces.

Palace Master Mingchan, Shang Tianji.

Palace Master Winter-Hidden, Wei Yang.

Palace Master Spring-Dawn, Xu Zhaolu.

"Now everyone is here."

Shang Tianji smiled and stepped forward, led Jiang Jian to his seat, and instructed the demon generals below, "Start the banquet!"

Wei Yang sat there, looking focused, not knowing what he was fiddling with.

Xu Zhaolu took the initiative to stand up, looked Jiang Jian over, and reached out: "I haven't seen you for more than twenty days, your spiritual essence aura has actually improved quite a bit."

Jiang Jian shook hands with her, then sat down and said: "The Long Gong's resources are indeed very helpful for cultivation."

Shang Tianji also sat back in his seat and laughed: "Jiang Jian is right, now that we rule the seven palaces, there are spiritual resources everywhere, it is a good time to cultivate."

"After all, palace resources cannot be taken away, they can only be used by oneself."

"While we are still in our official ranks, use as much as we can."

Xu Zhaolu nodded: "That is true, but many people's minds are on the spiritual essence treasures. Those who focus on cultivation do not exceed half."

Hearing this.

Shang Tianji's expression became slightly solemn, saying: "I invited you three here this time precisely to talk about the spiritual essence treasures."

Xu Zhaolu's gaze sharpened, and she sat up straight.

Jiang Jian's expression was calm, listening to Shang Tianji speak.

Even Wei Yang put down the object in his hand and looked at Shang Tianji.

Shang Tianji first set up a protective light screen, and after confirming no one was eavesdropping, he said: "The seven palaces of the Li Hai have a total of seven spiritual essence treasures."

"The four of us each occupy a palace, taking up most of the seven palaces."

"The treasure contention battle is approaching, and all of our palaces could be randomly selected."

"No one wants their spiritual essence treasure to be snatched away by others, right?"

He said in a deep voice, "I suggest that we temporarily reach an agreement not to attack each other during the treasure contention battle."

"I have already greeted the other palaces as well."

"In this way, we only need to guard against the teams coming from below, and we can obtain the spiritual essence treasures!"

Xu Zhaolu asked: "Why not form a team?"

Shang Tianji said: "If the seven palaces form a team with each other, it would indeed be very strong."

"But have you thought about it? If we defend the arena as a team, the spiritual essence treasure we obtain will also have to be split equally among the team!"

"None of us geniuses are willing to give away the spiritual essence treasure that is about to be in our hands to others for nothing!"

"The nineteen halls, although also geniuses, are the challengers!"

Shang Tianji's gaze was fierce, and he continued: "If they want to obtain the spiritual essence treasure, they can only form a team to attack us!"

On the side.

Wei Yang sneered and said gloomily: "Does this agreement have any meaning?"

Hearing this.

Several people looked at him.

Wei Yang put down the object in his hand and said coldly: "Human greed has no end."

"If my Winter-Hidden Palace is randomly selected in this contention battle."

"Then I can be sure that the seven palaces will definitely take action to contend for it!"

He scanned the few people, "Even you might not be an exception."

Xu Zhaolu nodded, looked at Shang Tianji, and said: "Wei Yang is right, you are thinking too simply; no one would think they have too many spiritual essence treasures."

"Even if you abide by the agreement and don't attack when the other seven palaces are defending."

"But if it really is your turn to defend, someone will definitely come to attack you."

Shang Tianji's smile remained unchanged, saying: "It doesn't matter, in my opinion, having the four of us reach an agreement is enough."

"Others find it hard to threaten me."

"Even if it's my turn to defend, and the other three palaces form a team together to contend for it."

"I have the confidence to guard the spiritual essence treasure!"

His tone was firm, clearly having a trump card.

Wei Yang and Xu Zhaolu looked at each other and shook their heads.

Shang Tianji looked at Jiang Jian: "Jiang Jian, what is your opinion?"

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and said: "I am fine with anything."

He had already realized.

To obtain a complete spiritual essence treasure, one cannot form a team when defending, one must rely on oneself!

But he had to face three new students as challengers!

Three ordinary pavilion new students, or three hall new students.

Jiang Jian did not take them seriously.

But if three palace new students attacked together.

Even Jiang Jian would need to respond seriously.

If the people present could abide by this agreement.

Seven palaces, excluding four palaces.

Then the strongest combat force he would face when defending would be at most the other three palaces!

The highly threatening Wei Yang and Shang Tianji would not be among them.

For Jiang Jian, reaching an agreement was clearly a good thing.

"Got one!"

Shang Tianji snapped his fingers and looked at Xu Zhaolu, "Xu Zhaolu, what about you?"

Xu Zhaolu pondered for a moment and said: "I can abide by this agreement, but how can you guarantee the validity of the agreement?"

Shang Tianji spread his hands: "A gentleman's word is his bond."

Xu Zhaolu curled her lips but didn't say much.

As a Level 5 talent from Chang'an Prefecture, if one broke their promise at will, it would indeed be shameful.

His gaze fell on Wei Yang, "Wei Yang, what do you say?"

Wei Yang remained silent.

Shang Tianji sighed and said: "I know your thoughts, you are absolutely not willing to only take one spiritual essence treasure."

"How about this."

Shang Tianji said, "When it is the turn of the other three palaces to defend, I will form a team with you to snatch from those three!"

Hearing this.

Wei Yang's eyes lit up.

After pondering for a few seconds, he nodded slowly and said: "Okay."

Both of them came from Chang'an Prefecture and knew each other's strength well.

With Shang Tianji, Wei Yang had considerable confidence in attacking the other three palaces separately!

Xu Zhaolu looked at Jiang Jian and asked: "Jiang Jian, what are your thoughts? Do you want to snatch from the other three palaces?"

Jiang Jian pondered for a moment and said: "I'll see the situation when the time comes."

Xu Zhaolu nodded: "Good."

The few reached an oral agreement, and the atmosphere at the banquet became much more relaxed.

The banquet ended, and both host and guests were happy.

Jiang Jian returned to the Autumn Water Palace, without stopping at all, took the unused dragon-shaped jade and water spirit stones, went directly into the Sea-Covering Cave, sat on the ground, and began to cultivate.

The Spring spiritual essence presented a bright golden luster.

As the light streams intertwined, it was growing slowly every moment.
