Chapter 178

"Ginseng fruit, Tai Su Zhangren..."

At this moment.

The wind brushed the sleeves, and also rolled away a corner of the smoke light in the hall.

Jun Yao tapped the table with his finger, his expression not showing any joy or confusion, just a bit of consideration.

With the status of the Yuchen Daoist Lord, his identity was even above the hall masters.

Sometimes.

He could even be on par with the Sect Master, standing on equal footing.

And the countless precious classics and scrolls hidden in the sect were all available for him to read at will, without any obstruction.

Regarding Tai Su Zhangren, this immortal giant who has survived since the ancient Daoist era—

Others might be confused when hearing this name, but Jun Yao was not unfamiliar with him.

He knew about the three gambling matches between this old man and the monk Longcang regarding the ginseng fruit tree.

He also knew.

This old man was later recruited by the Daoist court, not only conferred the title of "Tai Su Yuan Saint Benevolent Old Lord," but also appointed as the Xuanji Tianzun of the Xuanzhu Heaven, governing all sentient beings in the entire heaven.

Majestic and powerful!

During the battle of the collapse of the Daoist court.

Tai Su Zhangren and his Xuanzhu Heaven contributed greatly, killing nearly ten Heavenly Demon Kings and Heavenly Demon Gods, turning the tide for a moment.

Tai Su Zhangren also released the Doutian Fierce Fire scroll that he had carefully refined for countless years, blocking the infinite rebel army of Zhu Jingtian for nearly a month.

Preventing many rebel parties from joining forces and delaying the war opportunity.

However, supernatural powers cannot defeat the number of days—

Even with the help of giants like Tai Su Zhangren and the Jie Xian Ancestor, who had boundless magic power.

The Daoist court was ultimately unable to turn the tide and collapsed step by step.

And after Crown Prince Changming was forced by rebel parties like the Shouzun Moshen Chongyu into the depths of the netherworld, his life and death unknown.

The Daoist court existed in name only.

It no longer had the prestige of suppressing all heavens and all Daos, and governing all sacred immortals and Buddhas, and completely failed.

Since then, the heavens and the universe have also stood on their own—

Even the few heavens and lands that had received great favors and still felt nostalgic for the Daoist court era were only listening to orders but not declaring them, only nominally respecting the Daoist court's orders.

And heavens with strong strength and deep foundations like Xudu, Zhenwu, Huang Ji, and Wuliangguang.

Or heavens like Zhu Jing, Wuliuli, Changwen, and Gujie that had long been secretly dissatisfied with the Daoist court.

They completely changed their flags and stood on their own.

Even the superficial work was too lazy to respond...

"Teacher, you said you were going to visit friends in the outer universe, but was it actually because of me? However, Tai Su Zhangren and Crown Prince Changming were close friends, and the ginseng fruit tree and the position of Xuanji Tianzun of Xuanzhu Heaven were all planned by Changming for him.

This old man can be considered a loyalist to the Daoist court. Why would he give ginseng fruit to help me for no reason?"

After thinking for a while.

Jun Yao shook his head slowly, saying

"What is his plan? Could it be that he wants Yuchen to run errands for the Ji family? A mere ginseng fruit used to prolong life is not worth Yuchen's efforts."

After the collapse of the Daoist court, some old ministers who were not dead established Crown Prince Changming's descendant Ji Mu as emperor, ascending the throne in the Zhengxu Heaven.

But this Daoist court.

Was far from the previous Daoist court—

Now its strength is only barely able to govern the Zhengxu Heaven, and it can no longer continue.

Although it seems glorious, it is far from being comparable to before.

In fact, at the beginning of the Ji family's establishment, there was still some foundation left, possessing the legacy of the ancient Daoist court, sitting on dozens of heavens, which can be considered a vast territory.

However, Ji Mu was ambitious and determined, ignoring the dissuasion of several old officials, raising troops and generals, and several times went on expeditions in the Hongmeng space, wanting to restore the glory of the Daoist court.

But this move was alerted by the heavens of the universe, and soon counter-measures were implemented.

After a few years of expeditions, Ji Mu not only lost troops and generals, but also caused countless old ministers of the Daoist court to die.

Even he himself was severely injured by several Great True Persons of the Huang Ji Heaven, and his Dao cultivation was greatly damaged.

This battle not only caused the Ji family's Daoist court to lose its country and army, and could only shrink in the Zhengxu Heaven, unable to go out easily.

It also completely extinguished the remaining spirit of the old people of the Daoist court.

Jun Yao learned.

If it weren't for the Jie Xian Ancestor coming forward at the last moment, leading Tai Su Zhangren, Ding Changgeng, and several old Yuan Jun to persuade and reconcile.

I am afraid that the Ji family's Daoist court would not even be able to keep the Zhengxu Heaven, and would be completely wiped out by the heavens, never to return to the world...

There was no friendship or favor in the past.

And if we actually discuss it.

When the Yuchen Sect collapsed, although it did not take action in a big way on the surface, it had secretly contributed some effort.

Thinking about it this way.

The two actually still have some hidden hatred and unhappiness.

Therefore, Jun Yao did not hold any hope or expectation for the result.

He raised his eyes slightly, watching the mist rising, his expression still calm, without waves.

"Just one ginseng fruit, wants to exchange for Yuchen's help? How can there be such a good thing in the world!

The Ji family's small court is already unable to turn the tide, even the Jie Xian Ancestor cannot save it, Tai Su Zhangren, even if he is unwilling, must know the number of days!"

Hearing Jun Yao's words, the old man shook his head.

After drinking a cup of tea on the table, he said

"At first, when I arrived at Tai Su Zhangren's Daoist field, this old man left me alone for more than a month before he was willing to see me, but he is a sensible person, and did not mention Yuchen or any Ji family small court, only saying that ginseng fruit is very precious, and let the old man exchange it with something."

Jun Yao frowned slightly upon hearing this, and did not speak.

"After several rounds of bargaining, I proposed to exchange one hundred bushels of solar flow beads plus the Thunder Three Essentials God-Taking Map as a supplement, and this old man was finally moved, later—"

"Teacher, no need for later!"

At this time.

Jun Yao finally interrupted, saying in a deep voice, "For a dying person like me, it is not worth breaking the family and losing wealth, ginseng fruit tree, don't change it!"

"You just—"

"Because of practicing that scroll of square techniques, the loss of lifespan has become a fixed phase. Even if I get that ginseng fruit, the effect is minimal, and it will eventually leak out, unable to be stored."

Jun Yao's expression sank, saying "Teacher, you know that I have taken many golden elixirs and spiritual medicines for prolonging life, and the ancestors have also spent a lot of thought on this. Among them, several types are not necessarily inferior to ginseng fruit. But how much benefit can these external medicines have?

At most, it is one or two percent, which is already a blessing from heaven.

The decision I made myself should be borne by me. It's just a death, why bother so much? Even if that ginseng fruit is exchanged, Teacher, you should use it yourself. How can I drag you down!"

The old man was stunned for a moment.

The expression on his face changed, as if he had aged a lot.

He looked at Jun Yao steadily, rarely having a moment of trance and loss of focus.

"Stupid! Even if you are stupid, you are still my disciple. What are you talking about dragging down... Although the ancestors are disappointed in you, how can I watch you die?"

After a long time, he said in a low voice.

"Teacher—"

"...... Listen to me finish! What's the hurry?"

At this time.

The old man restrained the trace of grief in his heart, glared at Jun Yao, and shouted "I specifically separated my divine intention this time, not only for the ginseng fruit, but also for one person!"

"Who?"

"The former Grand Historian of the Daoist court, Mei Gongxing!"

"The Mei Gongxing who was ordered by the Daoist court to compile the 'Earth Vault Golden Chapter'?"

Jun Yao's face showed movement for the first time, his eyes flashing

"This person... is actually still alive?"

The old man sighed and said, "When the Daoist court collected all methods in the past and cast them into the 'Earth Vault Golden Chapter', although it played a role in deterring all heavens and all Daos, and all sacred immortals and Buddhas, it also offended the Daoist traditions of the heavens. Mei Gongxing, as the person in charge, naturally could not escape the blame... The old man also thought he had long since passed away, but never thought that not only is he alive, but he is also living well in Tai Su Zhangren's Daoist field!"

"Why did Mei Gongxing take the risk to appear and meet with Teacher?"

"Because of you!" The old man said solemnly

"I originally wanted to exchange one hundred bushels of solar flow beads and the Thunder Three Essentials God-Taking Map for a ginseng fruit, but this person suddenly broke into the hall and interrupted my action.

Mei Gongxing said that the square technique you practice is a forbidden technique that was sealed since the ancient Daoist era. He has also seen it. Even if you take ginseng fruit, the effect will not be great, and you will not escape death."

Jun Yao's eyes moved.

"But Mei Gongxing said that he might have a method to temporarily save your life and continue your vitality!"

At this time.

The old man said word by word

"This method has about three percent possibility, just bet on whether you dare to try it!"

"I suppose the price is not cheap?" Jun Yao said.

The old man smiled bitterly and nodded, saying "The price is not cheap, but fortunately, it has nothing to do with Yuchen and the Ji family's small court... It only depends on you alone."

"Please Teacher, give me guidance."

Jun Yao bowed.

The old man sighed in his heart, and then his lips moved, saying a series of words.

After he finished speaking.

Don't know how long it has been.

There was no warmth left in the tea cups of the two...

Jun Yao looked at the delicate leaf buds in the cup, was silent for a long time, and then closed his eyes slightly.

"How can it have nothing to do with Yuchen? Although this move does not involve public affairs, it still involves the Ji family's Daoist court..."

He said slowly

"Teacher, you value my life too much. The previous words were actually biased."

The old man shook his head and said nothing.

"I should go. After all, I am the Daoist Lord of the sect. My life and death cannot be decided by the two of us in a few words. I still have to go to see the ancestors and listen to their meaning..."

After sitting opposite each other for a long time.

The old man suddenly stood up and shouted in a low voice

"Rest assured, I will save your life no matter what!"

"Number of days—"

"Dog shit number of days! You have a bright future, but just for a woman, you have reached this point. It's all your own fault! Don't talk to me about any dog shit number of days!"

The old man only heard one sentence, and anger rose in his heart.

He scolded and turned to leave.

And just before leaving the hall.

He stopped suddenly and turned his body.

"By the way, there is one more thing I must mention to you. That Chen Heng seems to be quite strange—"

"Chen Heng?"

"Think about it carefully, when you were in closed-door cultivation, isolating yourself from the inside and outside, who saved him? It was Xun Bing, Mi Jing World, and the Gongshu brothers in the Xuan Hall!"

The old man said coldly "Xun Bing is because of you, Mi Jing World is because of that mediocre Chen Wei, both of them have reasons to take action.

But what about the Gongshu brothers?

"These two have always been mysterious, truly like dragons that show their heads but never their tails. Furthermore, they have never had any friendship with you, Daozi Junyao. Why would they help that Chen Heng!"

"I heard that the Gongshu brothers were robbed of a heavenly creation by Xie Shiduan of the Long Right Xie family, and they were angry, so they specifically made things difficult for Xie Yingyuan. Xie Shiduan is the biological brother of Xie Yingyuan of Shouyang Mountain, and the two have a deep friendship. And the matter of being robbed of creation, although secret, is indeed true." Jun Yao said.

"These are just superficial things. Don't you have any other guesses in your heart?" The old man shook his head and asked.

"Since there is no real evidence, I shouldn't speculate wildly."

Hearing this.

A smile finally appeared on the old man's face.

His voice was slightly mocking, saying

"It seems you also have doubts in your heart. After all, the twelve noble families have become more and more rampant in these few years!

Creating a year-end evaluation, wanting to point out a spiritual cave! These are all trivial matters! But they actually connected together and had different intentions. This is truly damned!

If they were peaceful, looking at the face of the Xuanji Tianzun in the past, the eight sects and six sects could allow them to continue to enjoy glory, but now..."

"Dead water doesn't hide dragons—the reason why the sect tolerates these noble families is to temper the disciples, so that they can maintain a constant Dao heart and not be too indulgent and comfortable. But now, it is vaguely showing a trend of water overflowing the banks, surging to the shore. The noble families are so rampant, it is time to take action against them."

Jun Yao thought thoughtfully

"I just don't know, whose secret hand is Chen Heng, after all?"

The old man shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly "This is not easy to speculate wildly. I just suddenly remembered this, fearing you would forget, so I specifically mentioned it. Perhaps the Gongshu brothers were really angry because they were robbed of creation, who knows?"

"Teacher has high insight."

Jun Yao bowed and said.

"Not high insight, how can I be your teacher, the Daoist Lord?"

The old man blew his beard, shook his body, and disappeared.

Only the voice remained in place

"Wait, wait, I will definitely bring you good news!"

"..."

Jun Yao shook his head slightly.

He sat back in his seat, waved his sleeves, and the smoke in the hall boiled instantly.

Rolling like waves, covering all objects.

His heart sank.

He operated his magic power slowly and continued to study the square technique.

And two days later.

Yuchen Sect, Xiyi Mountain.

Chen Heng, who was fighting with Lou Fu in the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie, suddenly felt something unusual.

He turned his intention, instantly eliminated Lou Fu's heart image, and returned to the present world from the Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie.

Stood up and separated the door.

Under the long steps, stood the smiling Hong Hong Guanshi Feng.

Seeing Chen Heng push the door and come out, Hong Hong Guanshi Feng cupped his hands and smiled.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Young Master Heng, your name has been entered into the golden register. Now there is an envoy from the lower courtyard sitting outside the mountain, waiting to pick up Young Master Heng to enter the lower courtyard to cultivate the Dao.

From now on.

You are entering the Immortal Gate, and longevity is in sight!"
