Whether to pay in advance or after the deal is done is the issue that Xiao Changqing cares about most.

If the payment is made after the deal is done, Xiao Changqing won’t do it.

Because he was not very confident of joining forces to ambush and kill Master Lingxiao, on the contrary he would have to risk his life.

If he fails, then all his efforts will be in vain and he will lose his life in vain.

But if you pay in advance, then this is something you can consider.

After all, even if they encounter danger during the ambush, the two of them together are no match for Master Lingxiao and may die. He can also withdraw in time and return to the immortal world of Dayu with the treasure, which is not a loss.

“I am very sincere and don’t mind handing the Bodhi leaf to Elder Fang in advance.” True Lord Chi Xuan looked very sincere, but immediately changed the subject, “But if I hand over the Bodhi leaf in advance, Elder Fang, you will not work hard or give your all, then I will be the one who gets taken advantage of, right?”

Xiao Changqing snorted in his heart.

It’s like judging a gentleman’s belly with a villain’s heart!

I am an honest man, how could I be such a person who goes back on his word?
“Easy, just make a vow.”

Xiao Changqing is already very familiar with this.

After discussing with True Lord Chixuan, they quickly made a vow.

True Lord Chixuan made a plan to ambush and kill True Lord Lingxiao, and when the time came, Xiao Changqing only needed to cooperate, and he would definitely do his best. Unless there was no way out, as long as True Lord Chixuan did not say to retreat, Xiao Changqing could not escape privately.

If defeat is inevitable and it is obvious that Lingxiao Zhenjun cannot be killed, then Xiao Changqing can escape on his own without the order of Chixuan Zhenjun.

“This Bodhi leaf now belongs to Elder Fang.”

Master Chi Xuan used his magic power to push slightly, and the Bodhi leaf containing the inheritance of a space magical power fell into Xiao Changqing’s hands.

Holding the Bodhi leaf in his hand, he could feel the power of space contained in it more clearly, and he had an urge to accept the inheritance immediately.

However, Xiao Changqing suppressed his impulse and put the Bodhi leaves into his storage bag.

The inheritance can only be accepted once, and it is better to accept the inheritance when the original body is still alive and has the system.

“Elder Fang, don’t you plan to refine the Bodhi leaves now? After refining, even if we cannot digest and understand them in a short period of time, and cannot comprehend the power of this magical power, it will at least be of some help.” asked True Lord Chixuan.

In his opinion, Xiao Changqing’s origins were mysterious and must be something more than simple.

The one who recognized the essence of Bodhi leaf at a glance was most likely a powerful being who had already begun to come into contact with the power of space.

For an old Yuanying monster like this who has the foundation of spatial force, not to mention his talent, he definitely has an advantage in understanding the way of using space in the Bodhi leaf.

Even if you only comprehend a little bit, your strength will be greatly improved.

He is more confident of ambushing and killing Master Lingxiao next.

“My current condition is not suitable for accepting inheritance.” Xiao Changqing made up an excuse.

He felt that True Lord Chixuan should still have some Bodhi leaves on him.

Even if there are no new ones, at least one piece has been refined and the inheritance from Venerable Changkong has been received.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so familiar with the origin of the Bodhi leaf, and wouldn’t be generous enough to give one as a reward for asking for his help.

Since I already have one, I won’t pay too much attention to it.

However, True Lord Chixuan probably had average talent in the way of space. Even though he refined the Bodhi leaf, he did not comprehend much of Venerable Changkong’s magical power of space.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so lacking in confidence to single-handedly kill True Lord Lingxiao, who was also in the early Nascent Soul stage.

After seeing off Master Chi Xuan, Xiao Changqing immediately found his disciple Hu Li and told her his life story.

“The royal bloodline of the Five Elements Dynasty? Me?”

Hu Li was obviously confused when he heard the news, “Master, you are not kidding, right? You know my origins… How could I be a descendant of the Five Elements Dynasty royal family?”

When Fang Yuan accepted Hu Li as his apprentice, he investigated Hu Li’s family background.

Both of his parents were casual cultivators. His father had a pretty good talent and successfully established his foundation as a casual cultivator, but his mother was only a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

Later, her parents were in turmoil and were betrayed and plotted against by her father’s former friends. She went to great lengths to join the Sanyang Sect, hoping to avenge her parents one day.

When she successfully established her foundation and became Fang Yuan’s disciple, Fang Yuan, after learning about her life experience, accompanied her and helped her to avenge her.

This is also the reason why Hu Li rebelled against the sect and obeyed Xiao Changqing’s orders.

“I’m not kidding. This matter has basically been confirmed. Sect leader Chi Xuan Zhenjun has personally asked about it and is already trying to find a way to contact Taiyi Sect. Perhaps it won’t be long before Taiyi Sect will arrange someone to pick you up.” Xiao Changqing said.

Seeing his master’s serious expression, Hu Li’s eyes widened and rolled around for a while before he fell silent. With mixed feelings, he began to accept the fact that he might really be a descendant of the royal family of the Five Elements Dynasty.

For 99% of the cultivators in Qingxu Realm, if they were suddenly told one day that they were descendants of the royal family of the Five Elements Dynasty, they would think it was a great thing and would be ecstatic.

It’s like a beggar suddenly discovers that his father is the richest man.

Hu Li actually knew very well in his heart that if he became a descendant of the royal family, there would be countless benefits and he should feel happy.

But this matter happened too suddenly, and the huge difference in status made her unable to accept it for a while.

So she didn’t wait too long before she realized that she shouldn’t be so cautious.

She would not pretend to be a descendant of the royal family, but if Taiyi Sect eventually determined that she really had the blood of the Five Elements Dynasty royal family, she should accept it calmly. She was not a delicate princess, and she would not blame the royal family for her parents’ accidental death.

This is like your own opportunity, you should seize it.

Among immortal cultivators, who doesn’t want to reach the top, obtain the best resources, and one day form an elixir and become an infant?

“Master, if… I am really the descendant of the Five Elements Emperor, then must I go to the Taiyi Sect to practice?” Hu Li asked timidly.

Xiao Changqing smiled, “You don’t want to go to Taiyi Sect? Taiyi Sect is not only a holy land, but also the one with the deepest heritage among the nine holy lands. It has obtained the most resources after the demise of the Five Elements Dynasty. In the entire Qingxu Realm, almost no one does not want to join Taiyi Sect. If you go to Taiyi Sect, you can directly get the treatment of the most core disciples, isn’t that good?”

Hu Li lowered his eyelids and said, “That’s good…but if I go to Taiyi Sect, it will be difficult for me to see Master again in the future.”

“Good disciple.” Xiao Changqing felt relieved and said, “You also know the current situation of Sanyang Sect, which is in danger. The reason why Sect Master Chi Xuan Zhenjun is so anxious to care about your identity is that he wants you to go to Taiyi Sect. Then, with this incense relationship, the situation of Sanyang Sect will be much better. So you must go to Taiyi Sect, not only for yourself, but also for Sanyang Sect. As for your master, I also have my own plans and will leave, so there is not much difference between you staying in Sanyang Sect and going to Taiyi Sect.”

“When you go to Taiyi Sect, seize the opportunity to practice hard. In the future, you will form a golden elixir or even achieve a Nascent Soul. We will definitely see each other again in the future.”

Hu Li asked, “Master, will you also leave Sanyang Sect? Where will you go?” Xiao Changqing smiled and said loudly, “I’m not sure. Maybe after a while, you will even hear the news that my master has passed away. But don’t worry, Ah Li. One day in the future, my master will definitely come back.”

Ambushing and killing Master Lingxiao would definitely be full of danger and uncertainty. Xiao Changqing had no confidence that he could actually kill Master Lingxiao, and he wasn’t even absolutely sure that he could survive.

But he was not from this world. If he and True Lord Chi Xuan joined forces and were still no match for them, the worst that could happen was that he would withdraw at the last moment and return to the immortal world of Dayu.

But I don’t know when I will come to Qingxu Realm next time.

“Master, are you going to carry out a dangerous mission?” Hu Li heard some clues.

Xiao Changqing smiled and shook his head: “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything risky, I am sure it will happen.”

Hu Li felt a little relieved.

……

Although the Fu Hai Sect is a sect on the Qingxu Continent, it is actually located on an island.

The island is named Jiaolujiao Island because its geographical shape resembles a pair of deer horns, with towering mountains on the north and south sides and a flat terrain in the middle.

Lujiao Island is huge, has a fourth-level spiritual vein, and is very close to the mainland, only a few hundred miles away. For cultivators, this distance is so close that it can be regarded as an extension of the land.

In addition, the Fu Hai Sect has created an absolutely safe “route” between its sect and Dongjizhou, ensuring that it will not be attacked by sea monsters at any time, and even Qi-refining monks can travel back and forth safely.

Therefore, the Fu Hai Sect became a sect in the Qingxu Realm, rather than an overseas sect.

The terrain on both sides of Kanoshima Island is high, but the scenery is completely different.

There is a cold pond on the towering mountains in the south, and a volcano on the mountains in the north.

At the top of the volcano, hot magma is constantly surging, and violent fire spiritual power is filling the surroundings, making the surroundings a desolate area.

Even a Jindan cultivator would feel extremely uncomfortable when arriving here.

Even though the concentration of spiritual energy here is very high, reaching the fourth level, Jindan cultivators cannot practice here.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man with naked upper body and extremely strong body was bathing in the magma.

It seemed that the magma that would be enough to injure a Jindan cultivator if it lasted a little longer was like a hot spring to him.

This person is none other than the Grand Elder of the Fuhai Sect and the only one in the Nascent Soul Stage, True Lord Lingxiao!
He is almost universally recognized as the best in the early stage of Nascent Soul in Dongjizhou, and his strength is extremely powerful.

call out!
A rainbow light floated over and landed on the edge of the lava pool. It was an old man in a gray robe.

The old man had gray hair and beard, and his body was a little hunched. He looked very old, and his whole body exuded the air of old age.

However, he did not feel uncomfortable at all beside the magma pool filled with violent fire spiritual power. He was calm and composed, which showed that his cultivation was actually not low and he was definitely not an ordinary Jindan cultivator.

The old man waited for a while.

boom!
The magma pool suddenly surged even more violently, as if there was a fire dragon rolling underneath, and huge columns of fluid rushed up like fountains, and the surrounding fire spiritual power became even more terrifying.

The old man, who was originally able to resist the damage caused by fire spiritual power, had to fly back when he saw this, for fear of being contaminated by the magma.

Because these magmas are no longer just fire spiritual power, but contain the power of fire heaven and earth.

This is something that a Jindan Zhenren cannot be contaminated by, no matter how powerful a Jindan Zhenren is and who has reached the perfect Jindan stage.

Just when the magma rolled to its peak, the surrounding weather suddenly changed. The temperature dropped rapidly, and first the power of water filled the air, and heavy rain fell.

Soon after, snowflakes began to float in the sky, and the top of the volcano began to make people feel freezing cold, as if the magma pools in the craters were about to solidify.

In fact, the magma did show signs of being extinguished, and ice began to solidify on the surface.

There was just endless fire power surging up from the ground, trying to break free from the shackles of cold.

hum!
I don’t know how long it took, but the magma pool suddenly calmed down, as if the volcano was really suppressed and entered a world of ice and snow.

But it only lasted for a few breaths before the sealed magma power suddenly erupted, breaking through the ice like a dragon out of its cage, and the power of fire filled the surroundings again.

As for the middle-aged man who was practicing in the magma, he had put on his robes at some point and came to the edge of the magma pool. He was in a daze, as if he was reviewing the process of his practice.

“Congratulations, Grand Elder. Your control over the power of heaven and earth has reached a new level. You are about to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!”

The old man stepped forward and spoke sincerely.

This is not just magma, but volcanic magma located on the fourth-level spiritual vein.

Being able to reverse ice and fire means that Master Lingxiao has taken a long step forward in controlling the power of heaven and earth.

“Middle stage of Nascent Soul…”

Ling Xiao Zhenjun seemed to be emotional as well, and then he shook his head and sighed, “It seems so close, but taking this step is harder than ascending to heaven!”

The middle Nascent Soul stage and the early Nascent Soul stage seem to be only a small step away, but it has stopped countless geniuses.

Those who can form a Nascent Soul are all true geniuses among millions. It can be said that each of them has his or her own legendary story.

But even among geniuses, most of them will become “indistinguishable from the crowd” after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, and will be stuck in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, unable to move forward for hundreds of years.

Because at this point, it doesn’t matter whether you have natural spiritual roots, special spiritual roots, or any kind of Taoist body.

No matter how fast you absorb spiritual energy, if you don’t have enough understanding and control over the power of heaven and earth, you will not be able to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

The nine holy places in Qingxu Realm.

In the eyes of ordinary low-level cultivators, for a sect to be promoted to a new holy land, there must be two or more Nascent Soul True Lords in the sect.

But in fact, the main reason is not this at all!

There are many sects that seem to have only one Yuanying Zhenjun in public, but in fact, there may be hidden Yuanyings in secret, such as some old antiques who are not dead.

But these sects are not qualified to be promoted to holy places.

The real necessary condition for advancement to a holy land, in addition to the sect’s own strong foundation, is to have a person in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!
It seems that Master Lingxiao has a chance to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but in fact, he is not absolutely sure whether he can take this step.

(It’s the last day of 2024, please give me a monthly ticket~) (End of this chapter)
