In the Wancong Mountains, in front of the cyan light curtain, a ray of light shot out, revealing a short and thin man with a sinister eyebrow and rat eyes.

As soon as he escaped from the light, Yu Jian, a disciple wearing Qian Yizong costumes, came to him: "I wonder who this senior is? This place has been designated as a forbidden area by my Qian Yizong. If there is nothing else, please hurry up. Leave."

The man grinned: "I am sent here by the headmaster of Youmei Sect."

When the disciple heard this, his complexion suddenly changed, and he was about to fly away with his flying sword.

The man dodged, stood in front of him, and took his arm: "Listen to what I have to say. The head of our sect has sent me here to deliver a letter to senior noble sect. There is no one behind me, otherwise you are in front of me. The disciples at the sentry will not turn a blind eye to me and let me fly all the way here. Please inform the senior noble sect on my behalf."

While the two were fighting, other disciples on patrol had already arrived.

Two rays of light fell in front of the two of them one after another. They were two foundation-building monks dressed in Qianyi Sect costumes.

"Uncle Master, he is a monk from the Youmei Sect." The disciple who was caught by the wrist was overjoyed when he saw the expressions of the two of them, and he hurriedly said loudly.

The two of them were startled and wanted to take action to capture this man.

Seeing this, the man quickly spread his arms, showing that he was not hostile, and shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, listen to me first. I am the leader of our sect who has come to make peace with you. You can take me there." Meet the senior noble sect."

The two looked at each other, but still did not dare to let down their guard. They looked at him suspiciously, and one of them said: "If you want to see our uncle, we must first let us place a spiritual restraint on you before we can let you in. "

"Please." The man spread his arms and said with a smile.

A man stepped forward and clicked on him a few times, sealing his spring, spiritual sea, and mud pills with spiritual power. Seeing that he did not resist, he felt relieved. He first informed Shi Mingsui and others, and received a reply. , and then push him into the formation.

The stone house in the center of the formation was the temporary meeting hall. The two men escorted him to the inner room. Luo Qingshui, Shi Mingsui, and Cheng Shuimin sat high on it, looking down at the Youmei Sect envoy.

"Junior Youmei Sect disciple Li Jing pays homage to the three seniors." The man stepped forward and bowed.

Shi Mingsui said coldly: "Why are you here from the Youmei Sect?"

The man said: "Our sect feels that your sect has taken the initiative to withdraw from the western part of the Chu Kingdom and intends to divide the boundaries and rule it. We want to turn the war with your sect into friendship. From now on, we will never touch the river. We have specially sent me to express this intention and send it to the headmaster of our sect." A handwritten letter."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, bowed slightly and handed it over with both hands.

Shi Ming then took the letter, opened it, took a look, and handed it to Luo Qingshui beside him calmly.

After the three of them finished reading, Cheng Shuimin sneered: "Is this the sincerity of your peace talks? It's simply a dream."

Li Jingdao: "The headmaster said that it would be a great benefit if we could make our two sects resolve the dispute without fighting, and promise not to invade your sect's territory from now on. Please think again."

"Given the strength of our sect's men and horses and the number of soldiers, if we mobilize the masses to attack from the west, will your sect be able to hold on for a long time? Instead of doing this, it is better for both sides to take a step back and negotiate a decent peace, so as not to hurt both sides and it is a futile effort."

Luo Qingshui said: "You clever talker, please go back and tell your master that if you dare to go even half a step west, the Corpse Puppet Sect will serve as a warning to you. We, out of kindness, will give up the western boundary to give you a place to stay. I am willing to start a rash war and destroy the many years of practice of the disciples of the two sects."

"If you don't know your own strength, and a snake wants to swallow an elephant, I will use all my strength, even if you and others are burned together, I will not hesitate."

Just as the man was about to speak, Shi Ming shouted: "Mouse, go away quickly, I will kill you for staining my reputation."

The man did not dare to say anything anymore, so the two disciples escorted him out of the formation and removed the restraints on his body. The man flashed away and flew away in the air.

………………

In the alchemy room No. 9 in Gufang City, Tainan, a scruffy old man with a skinny figure and a beard was concentrating on blending the elixirs. His forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat, flowing down his neck.

After a long time, he tapped the elixir cauldron lightly, and a round elixir spit out from the dragon's mouth and landed in the wooden box, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.

The old man picked up the elixir, took a look at it, and put it into his own black elixir bottle. He wiped the fine beads on his forehead, walked out of the alchemy room, and turned around to open the stone door. He saw a man and a woman standing waiting outside.

The man is elegant and the woman is beautiful, standing side by side, like a pair of beautiful people.

"I wonder if you are Taoist friend Xu Jinghui? I have admired his name for a long time. We came here because of his fame. We are afraid of disturbing you in your elixir making. We have been waiting here for a long time." The woman said with a smile on her face.

"Who are the two fellow Taoists?" Xu Jinghui was a little confused and asked in surprise.

"I am Yang Yurong, this is my senior brother Gao Yuwen, and we are disciples of Youmei Sect."

Xu Jinghui's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "I wonder what your senior brothers and sisters have to do with me?"

The man said: "Can I ask fellow Taoist Xu to lend me a moment to speak?"

Xu Jinghui glanced at the two of them suspiciously: "Come in!"

The three of them entered the alchemy room, and the man said: "Our sect has heard of Taoist friend for a long time, and knows that you are a well-known alchemist in Chu State, so we sent the two of us to search for the traces of Taoist friend. We wandered around for many days, and found out

My fellow Taoist is here, so I take the liberty of disturbing you and sincerely invite my fellow Taoist to join our sect.”

Xu Jinghui said coldly: "Thank you very much for your respect for Xu, but Xu has been used to being lazy all his life and does not want to be restrained by this. Please ask the two fellow Taoists to ask someone to help you! If there is nothing else, Xu is going to rest."

"After that, he got up and left.

The woman hurriedly said: "Fellow Taoist Xu, please wait a moment to refuse. Don't you want to hear our conditions? Our sect has admired the name of Taoist Taoist for a long time, and we will never fail you in terms of treatment."

"As long as fellow Taoist are willing to join our sect, we will receive a salary of fifty thousand spirit stones a year, and provide all the herbs for the elixirs for free. The refined elixirs will be divided into three to seven, and we will enjoy the same treatment as the golden elixir masters. Fellow Taoist

Are you interested?"

Xu Jinghui sneered and said: "Money must be spent with life. Although your Youmei Sect occupies Qinchuan and Longyou, who knows whether you can last long. If Xuanmen breaks through, wouldn't I be the same as you?"

Being hunted by Xuanmen every day, why would you even bother to die if you can't die in a chaotic battle?"

"Back then, the Corpse Puppet Sect was not as powerful and impressive, but how is it now? After being attacked by the Qianyi Sect on Xushu Mountain, I was on the run and was in panic all day long. I heard that even several Jindan monks were killed. Why should I bother?

Let’s just live our lives freely and take this unnecessary risk.”

The woman said: "Since fellow Taoists are so concerned, we can't force them. In addition to joining our sect, we have come up with another way, hoping to cooperate with fellow Taoists."

"We will pay fellow Taoists three thousand spirit stones every month, including providing all the raw materials for elixirs. We will purchase the elixirs refined by fellow Taoists at market prices. Fellow Taoists do not need to join the sect. They are still free and do not have to manage the sect.

All things in the sect can leave whenever they want. I wonder if fellow Dharma practitioners of this cooperation are interested?"

Xu Jinghui's expression changed slightly: "What do you need me to do?"

"Our sect has organized an alliance of alchemists. We would like to invite fellow Taoists to join this alliance and serve as the leader to teach our disciples how to make alchemy."

Xu Jinghui said: "Refining alchemy is not that simple. If nothing else, do you have an alchemy room? To refine second-level elixirs, you need at least purple-green fire veins."

"As far as I know, although the Corpse Puppet Sect has formed some kind of alliance in the past few years, it was just a small fight. The fire veins you used are not even qualified to refine the Foundation Building Pill, let alone

It’s time to refine the Strengthening Pill.”

"In the land of Xingang, only Xuanmen and Fangshi have fire veins of this level. Do you know how many spiritual stones are needed for my alchemy room? One hundred spiritual stones a day, three thousand spiritual stones, even one month for the alchemy room.

The fees are not enough.”

"If you go with you, are you going to compete with those juniors every day on the methods of nourishing Qi and refining Qi Condensing Pills?"

The two looked at each other, and the man said: "The two of us don't know much about elixirs. What kind of fire veins do fellow Taoists need? This sect will do our best to meet the needs of fellow Taoists."

Xu Jinghui sneered and said: "That's a big statement. Do you know how many spiritual stones it takes to build a complete fire vein? It costs at least five million spiritual stones. I'm not looking down on your Youmei Sect. Even if you can get the spiritual stones, you won't be able to do it."

I’m willing to use it to lay the veins of fire.”

"Furthermore, I went to Xushu Mountain with you, and when we arrived at your territory, how can we guarantee that you will let me out? There is no use in making empty promises."

The two looked at each other in shock, never expecting that a fire vein would cost so much. Previously, they had directly requisitioned the alchemy rooms of various cultivating families.

The two of them finally understood why there were so few outstanding alchemy and weapon refining masters in the casual cultivators and cultivating families except Xuanmen and the Chamber of Commerce. The main reason was the lack of alchemy resources.

"If you sincerely invite me, it's not impossible. I have a compromise."

"Fellow Taoist, please clarify." the man said.

"I won't go to your Xushu Mountain. You can send your disciples to this city. I agree to teach them alchemy. In addition to the conditions you just mentioned, you will also provide for all the expenses of my alchemy room. In this case, I am willing

Join your organization's alliance, otherwise there is no need to talk."

The woman said: "We can't decide this matter. We have to go back and ask the master for instructions. We will give you an answer someday."
