Chapter 125

Well, in a moment, take your older brother to the rear mountain secret valley and let him rest there; don't move him lightly.

As for the black market mission, Lin Quan has already set it up for you; take the talisman. Soon various sects will come calling, and Sui Lv Zhenjun doesn't want anyone to discover Jiang Yu and Jiang Tu.

Since seeing Jiang Tu's true form, he absolutely does not want the little dragon turtle to be discovered by outsiders again.

Especially the two Heavenly Fish Tokens obtained, both are related to Jiang Yu.

And after Jiang Yu received the talisman for the rear mountain secret valley, she said, "Master, how long exactly is the two-day closed-door cultivation? I still have several unfinished sect tasks from my Qi Refining period."

If it only takes half a month, I'll adjust my recent schedule.

Sui Lv Zhenjun then found an ancient book in his storage ring and gave it to her, saying, "At least half a year before it settles; change your appearance and go."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu knew she couldn't complete the tasks in the near future.

After she changed her appearance and rushed to the rear mountain secret valley, she discovered the Little Dragon King Ao Ze standing in the stream catching fish.

Meanwhile, Thus: Xuantang Xingjun stood by the stream directing, "Left, left, right... passed, passed, then step back a bit to the left."

"Don't make noise; if you keep yelling I won't catch you." Ao Ze, annoyed by the noise, wanted to stomp his feet; the instant he lifted his head, he saw Jiang Yu walking over from afar and slapped down the fish he had just caught.

With a whoosh, he flashed to Jiang Yu's front: "Where is Jiang Tu?"

"He's sleeping." Jiang Yu handed him the prepared bundle of spirit food, saying, "All your favorites; how is Thus: Xuantang Xingjun's recovery?"

"What's the matter, still avoiding asking the old man?" Before Ao Ze could speak, Xuantang had already floated up to them.

"Senior, I'd like to seek your guidance." As Jiang Yu spoke, she lifted the incense burner between them.

With a slight stir of spiritual power in her hand, her older brother's sleeping soul emerged and was instantly sent into the soul-nurturing wood.

"A remnant soul? Hiss, this is too extravagant—both soul-nurturing wood and sarira." If Thus: Xuantang Xingjun hadn't obtained a soul stone early on, seeing these two would make him want to snatch them.

"Look, with these two, how long to nurture the soul so it can reincarnate?" Jiang Yu's eyes swept over his ten fingers, which showed nothing.

Having the soul-nurturing wood doesn't guarantee everything will be fine for his brother's soul, because the wood is dead timber, not a living tree that is still growing.

Upon seeing her action, Thus: Xuantang Xingjun immediately clasped his hands behind his back and said, "At least nurture it for thirty years."

But your soul-nurturing wood is too short; after ten years its spiritual power will be exhausted, requiring at least five cun to sustain thirty years.

However, if you could obtain a few more sarira and set up a soul-nurturing formation, it could be perfected within ten years.

What, your master didn't explain this to you?

"There is instruction; how many sarira are needed to set up the formation? If after ten years I can buy a three-cun soul-nurturing wood, could I take over?" Jiang Yu sighed inwardly, and after reading the ancient book her master had just given her, she understood why he had always opposed her exchanging the soul-nurturing wood in the sect.

Thus: Xuantang Xingjun twirled his beard and said, "Altogether twelve sarira; buying a three-cun piece after ten years will yield a somewhat lesser effect."

"Farewell." Exchanging one Heavenly Fish Token yields only one sarira; to get eleven more, not to mention that Jiang Yu's tokens have already been turned over, and whether the Tian Yuan Continent even has that many is uncertain.

Of course, she couldn't really leave; instead she pulled Ao Ze aside and released Jiang Tu from her spirit beast pouch.

And she detailed how he had been stimulated by the Zhou Tian Star Array, saying, "See what condition he's in; checking his body and flesh reveals no problems whatsoever."

While Ao Ze examined Jiang Tu's body, outside the gate of the Tian Xu Sect arrived not just one Yuan Ying cultivator.

Upon closer look, besides Xue Qi Zhenjun and the Bai Lian Sect Elder, there was also a Tian Mo Sect Yuan Ying cultivator.

When Sui Lv Zhenjun came to greet the visitors, he was quite surprised: "Shang Wuya?"

"It's me; I heard that your several families have been desperately searching for Heavenly Fish Tokens, so I came over hoping to learn some experience."

Who would have thought, yesterday you actually found many pieces.

"Sui Lv Dao friend, I personally wish to purchase three pieces; you may set the conditions." Shang Wuya stated his purpose directly.

Xue Qi Zhenjun and the Bai Lian Sect Elder were also blunt, both spitting at him and saying, "What a shameless face; as soon as your lips touch, you blurt out three pieces."

Shang Wuya glanced sideways at the two and said, "You dare say your purpose isn't the same as mine?"

"Shang Dao friend, our three sects' joint treasure-hunt mission has its own stipulated regulations."

"And there aren't that many." Sui Lv Zhenjun had initially adopted Xue Qi Zhenjun's suggestion, but the Gui Yuan Sect didn't agree to join, so only the Tian Xu, Luo Yue, and Bai Lian Sects formed the alliance.

"Sui Lv, why bother with this old demon? Let us discuss our own matters." The Bai Lian Sect Elder obviously didn't want others to interfere.

But he didn't know that what Hu Lingzhang 'found' wasn't just a few Heavenly Fish Tokens, but hundreds.

Therefore, Sui Lv Zhenjun could no longer possibly follow the original plan exactly.

And Shang Wuya flicked out a delicate jade box: "I've heard that Dao friend Sui Lv personally went to the Taiyi Sect to seek treasures; I happen to have one."

As he spoke, he opened the jade box, revealing a sarira larger than the one in Jiang Yu's hand, lying inside.

"This..." Sui Lv Zhenjun made a hesitant gesture.

Xue Qi Zhenjun and the Bai Lian Sect Elder exchanged a glance; initially the three families had agreed to launch the operation simultaneously, then later share information.

But this sharing is conditional: if each household can find four pieces, they keep two and give the other two to allied sects.

Judging by the situation, the Tian Xu Sect has indeed found a quantity exceeding the agreed amount.

So the two had a tacit understanding to remain silent.

Sui Lv Zhenjun also couldn't immediately agree: "Shang Dao friend, the items are inherently limited in quantity; I'm afraid they won't be enough to go around for you."

It would be better for you to wait a while; perhaps the Tian Mo Sect disciples have already found fish tokens within the Demonic Sect's territory.

After the three sects' grand mobilization, not only did the four major Dao sects move, but the Demonic Sect also refused to lag behind.

He said, "I've heard that a few days ago, someone from the Blood Luo Sect found a piece."

Shang Wuya could not give up: "The Blood Luo Sect only has one piece, whereas you have several."

"Sui Lv, I guarantee that the disciples who have bonded with three fish tokens will, after entering the Great Luo Cave Heaven, fully cooperate with your sect's disciples."

Hehe, if your disciples don't secretly stab you in the back, that's just heavenly blessing.

"Sui Lv, let's go in first and let him wait here." The Bai Lian Sect Elder, much older than Sui Lv Zhenjun, knowing Xue Qi Zhenjun's two men, grabbed his arms left and right and walked toward the mountain gate.

At the same time, he transmitted mentally: "If we acquire more, we must definitely rope in the four major Dao sects."

The Demonic Sect's people will certainly also pick one or two, but it cannot be him, the Tian Mo, again taking the lead.

Everyone is no fool; Sui Lv Zhenjun, following their force, turned to face the mountain gate.

Then he turned his head and said, "Shang Dao friend, rather than spending energy here, you might as well see how much the Demonic Sect has harvested."

「This Great Luo Cave Heaven wasn't opened just this year. 」

「Makes sense, farewell. 」Shang Wuya snapped shut the jade box, and the escape light flew away together.

He figured it out; Sui Lu was letting him take out the number he had found from the Demon Sect, and then negotiate the price with him.

And the True Lord Xue Qi who had entered the mountain gate asked anxiously, 「Exactly how many fish tokens are there? 」
