Junior Leopard was not a big shot. He was wholeheartedly refining the Innate Qi Clear Spiritual Talisman. As for the woman in white who broke into his Yin and Yang Dust Formation in the beginning, he had already subdued her. Her cultivation was not weak, having reached Level Five. However, in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, she had no power to fight back.
It was not easy to refine the Innate Qi Clear Spiritual Talisman, unlike the Treasure Green Lotus Fire, which was automatically absorbed by the mirror after entering the Golden Flame Mirror. Everything was controlled by the Pure Yang Celestial Device. However, he had to refine the Innate Qi Clear Spiritual Talisman by himself. It took him four days to refine the Innate Qi Clear Spiritual Talisman. Although it was a little tiring, he gained a lot. Not only did he manage to refine it, but he also made great progress in refining talismans. The Innate Qi Clear Spiritual Talisman was a top-level talisman, but it required different methods to refine it. It could be said that during these four days, Junior Leopard had tried all the methods of refining talismans that he had learned from Green Spirit and had a deep understanding of talismans and incantations.
"The so-called charm is, after all, a kind of energy construction method, a kind of structure. The method used to refine the External Elixir is essentially a charm. It's a pity that I didn't study mathematics in my previous life. Otherwise, I would only need to build a few models and my mastery of the study of charm would definitely increase by leaps and bounds!" Carefully putting away the Innate Qi Clear Talisman that was almost finished, Junior Leopard thought to himself. However, this was just his imagination. For a guy like him who was just a liberal arts student in his previous life, the complexity and profoundness of mathematical models were no less than the manufacturing of atomic bombs. Anyway, it was a subject that he definitely could not understand.
"It's been almost four days. I believe Yu Qing has been waiting anxiously outside. But I don't know what price she will offer me this time. The Innate Green Lotus Seed is a rare treasure!"
"Aren't you afraid that she will kill you and take the treasure? Don't forget this is the Jade Lake, which is her territory. There are restrictive spells everywhere. If she really wants to kill someone, nobody can stop her, and the news won't spread out! "
"Hehe, it's not worth it for a seed of the Innate Green Lotus. Making a deal with me and selling a favor to the Immortal Palace is much more valuable than a seed of the Innate Green Lotus!" Junior Leopard said with a smile, "If Yu Qing was just a Level Nine expert instead of an expert in the Mysterious Realm, I might be in danger. But now that she has stepped into the Mysterious Realm, the value of this lotus seed has been greatly reduced. Getting the lotus seed is just icing on the cake!"
"But it is still very valuable to the Jade Lake Sect!"
"Unfortunately, although she represents the Jade Pool Sect, she is also a person who controls the Jade Pool Sect. The value of the Green Lotus Seed to her has been reduced, and the value to the Jade Pool Sect has also been reduced. Do you know what this is called? It's called one's position determines one's position. She sits on the position of the Jade Pool Sect, so her head is also the head of the Jade Pool Sect! " Junior Leopard sneered, "Her value is also the value of the Jade Pool Sect. So, I expect that she will make a deal with me, instead of killing me and taking the treasure!"
"How old are you? Do you think you understand human nature? Boy, the world is very complicated! "
"Yes, I know the world is very complicated, and I also know that people's hearts are unpredictable. But in the final analysis, this matter can't be hidden from the Jade Pool Sect at all, and I can't run away. I can only bite the bullet, pretend to be generous, pretend to be profound, pretend to be calm, and fight for a little initiative for myself. It doesn't involve people's hearts at all. It's just that the situation forced me to bow my head!"
"You're telling the truth!" Green Spirit said with a smile.
Junior Leopard raised his hand and waved his sleeves slightly. He put away the Yin and Yang Dust Formation and released the inhibition of the woman in white. Then he stood up with a smile.
Outside the door, two white-clothed women stood quietly. When they saw Junior Leopard's door open, they were shocked. One of the women left quickly, while the other supported a white-clothed woman who looked very weak and walked out with Junior Leopard.
"The Leader will be here soon. Please wait for a moment!"
"Thank you!" Junior Leopard smiled and walked out of the room. Leaning on the railing outside the door, he began to enjoy the scenery of the Jade Pool.
"You're really in a good mood!"
Yu Qing came very quickly, in the time it took to drink a cup of tea. She was followed by the woman in white who went to report.
"The Leader is really fast!" Junior Leopard turned back and said with a smile, "I'm flattered!"
"You're so bold. Who dares to scare you?" Yu Qing sneered, with a sharp cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Don't scare me. I'm timid and can't stand it!" Junior Leopard said with a smile, "Let's talk about business. I believe that this time, we'll definitely get what we want!"
"Are you so sure that I'll talk with you instead of killing you?"
"Killing me will certainly bring some benefits to the Hierarch. However, compared to the benefits he can get from making a deal with me, the Innate Green Lotus Seed is actually nothing, don't you think?" Junior Leopard said with a smile, "Don't be fooled by my calm look, as if I have a well-thought-out plan. In fact, I'm also very anxious!"
"Good, very good. It seems that this time, the old bastard didn't choose the wrong person. You're really good. Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket, then I'll be frank. Your Innate Green Lotus Seed is indeed precious, but it's not unique. There are many treasures in the Jade Pool that are comparable to it, and even more valuable than it. However, I won't trade these things with you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course, it's reasonable that the Leader wants to lower the price. How about this, you give me a Pure Yang Celestial Device and I give you the lotus seed?"
"You're demanding an exorbitant price!"
"You pay me back on the spot. Of course, I'll ask for an exorbitant price. That's fair!"
"There's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Don't forget that you still need my help!"
"That's why I didn't ask for an absolutely fair price!" Junior Leopard said with a smile, "You're the Leader and you're very knowledgeable. I believe that you'll be able to give me a satisfactory price!"
"Good!" Yu Qing nodded and said, "I have a Pure Yang Celestial Device, but I can't give it to you. A Mysterious Level Celestial Device is more like it!"
"I'm not interested in celestial devices!" Junior Leopard shook his head and said, "Leader, you should know that I'm a sword practitioner. What I'm pursuing is the supreme state of One Sword Breaking All Laws. If you give me a celestial device, it will only delay my practice!"
"That's a nice way to put it. I've never seen a sword practitioner as profiteering as you. Let's be frank. What do you want?"
"Materials for refining a formation. I believe that your school has the least shortage of these things, right?"
"Formation?!" Yu Qing was slightly stunned and immediately thought of the thick fog in Junior Leopard's room. "I forgot that you know about formations. Well, tell me what materials you need. I'll see if I have them. If I do, I'll try my best to help you gather them!"
"Actually, I don't need any good materials!" Junior Leopard said and blurted out a series of materials.
"You want a lot of things, but it's not too much, except —!"
"Headmaster, my price is really fair. Except for a few key items, the rest of these materials can't be considered as top-notch materials. They can't be compared with the Innate Green Lotus Seed's value!"
"But you can't gather so many materials in such a short time in other places, can you?" Leader Yu Qing said with a smile, "Well, I won't embarrass you. I have all the materials you want and can send them to you soon. But you have to promise me one thing!"
"Leader, please tell me!"
"My disciple is Yeyue. You've met her. Her cultivation is not bad. She has already broken through Level Seven and can finish her apprenticeship. I'm going to let her go down the mountain to gain experience. But as you can see, although her cultivation is good, she is a girl after all. She doesn't have enough experience in Jianghu. It's inevitable that she will encounter some trouble in Jianghu. I won't ask you anything else. If she encounters any big trouble in Jianghu in the future, I hope you can help her in time!"
"Of course!" Junior Leopard nodded as if it was a matter of course. "Don't worry, leader. No matter who dares to offend Miss Ji, I, Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket, will not let him go!"
"That's good enough. I originally wanted Yeyue to join your Immortal Palace, but now it seems that there's no need to go through so much trouble!" Yu Qing said with a smile, "In case he thinks that I'm begging him when I meet him. This time, I want him to beg me!"
Hearing this, Junior Leopard's mouth twitched, but he didn't say a word in the end.
It had to be said that Jade Pool was very efficient. Junior Leopard listed dozens of materials in one breath, and they prepared them the next day. They piled them up in a warehouse and informed Junior Leopard to pick them up.
Looking at the large pile of materials, Junior Leopard could only smile bitterly. He took out the Innate Green Lotus Seed and handed it to Yu Qing. He proposed to stay in this warehouse for a few days. Yu Qing understood what he wanted to do and nodded in agreement.
"You'd better hurry up. I've already sent your message back to the Immortal Palace. I estimate that the Immortal Palace will come to pick you up in three days or five days at most!"
"Thank you for reminding me!" Junior Leopard said, "Actually, it doesn't matter to let them wait!"
… …
… …
Ten days later, the tightly closed door of the storeroom was opened. Junior Leopard walked out feeling refreshed. Before he had time to let someone report, he bumped into Jin Yuquan, who was walking towards him. "Jin Yuquan!"
"Elder Qing's estimation is right. You'll come out in one or two days!" Seeing Junior Leopard walk out of the warehouse, Jin Yuquan laughed.
"Golden Rooster, why are you here?"
"I came with Elder Qing!" Jin Yuquan seemed to be beaming with joy. "Boy, this time I'm in the limelight again. Happy Monk is going crazy because of you. These days, he's been asking about you all over the world!"
"Happy Monk?" Thinking of the bald man whose Green Lotus Seed was snatched by him, Junior Leopard smiled coldly. "Treasures of heaven and earth only belong to the virtuous. Treasures of heaven and earth belong to whoever has them. Could it be that the Innate Green Lotus was planted by them?"
"That makes sense. That's what we said to the Bigwheel Temple!" Golden Rooster laughed. "Treasures of heaven and earth don't belong to the Snow Mountain Bigwheel Temple. Well, let's go. I think Elder Qing must be very anxious now!"
Following Jin Yuquan, Junior Leopard soon arrived at the main hall of Jade Pool. Along the way, Junior Leopard really appreciated the peerless beauty of Jade Pool. However, no matter how beautiful it was, Junior Leopard always felt that it was somewhat fake.
In the main hall of Jade Pool, Yu Qing was drinking tea and chatting with Elder Qing. As for the deal, it had already been completed when Junior Leopard was in closed-door training. Seeing Junior Leopard's arrival, Elder Qing didn't want to stay here any longer, so he directly got up and left.
An hour later, Junior Leopard, Elder Qing, and Golden Rooster were standing on a boat-shaped celestial device, flying above the sea of clouds.
"Jade Pool is really secretive. Not only are there many inhibitions, but it's also in such a remote place!"
"Jade Pool is located in the far west. It has hidden itself for many years and formed its own system. It's one of the most powerful schools in the world. It's just that it hasn't been known for a long time!" Elder Qing stood at the head of the boat and sighed slightly. "Ordinary people in the martial arts world, even experts at Level Seven or Eight, may not have heard of Jade Pool in their whole life. But you're fated to have a relationship with them!"
"I almost offended them!"
"Hehe, don't say such words. You're a man of great luck. Let's get to the point. Where's the tenth entrance to the Azure Secret Area?"
"It's on my territory!" Junior Leopard was full of smiles. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh heartily.
The tenth entrance to the Azure Secret Area was of great value even for a huge organization like the Immortal Palace, so they had to pay attention to it. Moreover, the entrance happened to be on his territory. For the Immortal Palace, it was much more convenient for them to use the entrance freely as one of their members. However, in order to keep the entrance a secret, they would definitely spend a lot of effort on the entrance, such as sending experts to be stationed there. According to the style of the Immortal Palace, it was impossible for them to expose their existence to the whole martial arts world for an entrance to the Azure Secret Area. They would not occupy a territory like the Tian Long Taoism did. All the cover-up and overt actions had to be handled by themselves. Because it was his territory, it was logical and the most natural for him to do it.
In this way, the Immortal Palace, a huge organization, was bound to his territory. For its own interests, the Immortal Palace would try its best to protect his territory and the entrance to the Azure Secret Area. They would not let other influences encroach on his territory. For him, this was an extremely advantageous thing.
"On your territory?!" Elder Qing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. But then he pointed at Junior Leopard and scolded him with a smile, "Boy, you're really a big lucky star!"
"What lucky star? It's just that my luck is a little better occasionally!" Junior Leopard said with a smile. Then he told Elder Qing the cause and effect of his discovery of the entrance to the Azure Secret Area in detail. Of course, he didn't say a word about Green Spirit.
"Well, it seems that you're really lucky. In a refined iron mine, there are highly poisonous monsters and cold air. Not bad, not bad. That's the entrance to the Azure Secret Area!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Junior Leopard and said, "Do you know why you can't get out but can't get in?"
"No?"
"Because the entrance needs at least a Pure Yang Celestial Device to support it!" Speaking of this, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "The reason why the Jade Pool could move the entrance to the sect is that they have a fairy weapon. Although we have fairy weapons, we can't use them here. We can only use a Pure Yang Celestial Device to support the entrance. In this way, the entrance can't be moved. Speaking of this, he looked at Junior Leopard with a faint smile and said," It seems that we still need your help! "
"Of course, no problem. Although it's a refined iron mine, it's not a big deal!" Junior Leopard blurted out.
"You don't need to remind me of your losses!" Elder Qing waved his hand and said, "This is extremely beneficial to both you and the Immortal Palace. What we need to do is to maximize the benefits and keep it secret. So, you don't need to worry about your losses. We'll definitely make it up to you!"
"Of course, I'm a member of the Immortal Palace. It's my honor to make some contributions to the Immortal Palace!" Junior Leopard grinned. The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled.
"However, this matter can be hidden from others, but I'm afraid it can't be hidden from Wang She and Prince Xiaoming, right?" Junior Leopard suddenly thought of a problem.
"There's no need to hide it from them. They won't tell others. The Azure Secret Area is also very helpful to their cultivation. They won't be stupid enough to leak the news!"
"I see!" Junior Leopard nodded and said, "Then I'll arrange it when I go back. But please tell me how to do it!"
"That place is a refined iron mine, but it's also the entrance to the Azure Secret Area. You can't let others mine it. I heard that your territory is very barren and there are not many buildings. How about building a house there? In this way, it'll be easier to cover up!"
"That's a good idea. When I go back, I'll immediately build a courtyard there. I'll tell others that there's Earth Vein Evil Qi there and it's suitable for my cultivation. In this way, it won't arouse suspicion!"
"Yes, for the sake of training, giving up a fine iron mine is not a big deal for us Baiwu people!" Elder Qing nodded and said, "You're the most familiar with Yuquan in the Immortal Palace. I'll let him help you with this matter. When I go back, I'll send someone there as soon as possible to open the entrance. Don't worry, our goal is only that entrance. We won't have any ideas about your territory!"
"You're too serious, Elder Qing. I can't wait for more people to come. Although it's my territory, it's so big that I can't take care of it. Moreover, some people have ideas about my territory. So, the more people you send, the happier I'll be!"
"You don't have to be so secretive. But now, since the entrance to the Azure Secret Area has been found in your territory, we naturally won't let others have ideas about your territory. However, you have to understand the style of the Immortal Palace. We won't openly support you. Unless it's absolutely necessary, the people of the Immortal Palace won't show up. However, we'll support you in other areas, whether it's intelligence or money. Anyway, I promise that your territory will be impregnable!"
"Then, thank you for your concern, Elder Qing!"
… …
… …
The speed of the boat-shaped celestial device was extremely fast. It was like a golden light shuttling through the sea of clouds. However, the Jade Pool was too far away from the Central Plains. Although the speed of the celestial device was extremely fast, it still took two days to fly to the sky above Junior Leopard's territory.
"Well, Yuquan, during this period of time, you'll stay by Junior Leopard's side and keep an eye on him. If there's any accident, contact me in time, understand?"
"Yes!" Jin Yuquan lowered his head and said.
"Uh, that …!" Junior Leopard's expression changed slightly when he heard that Jin Yuquan wanted to stay by his side.
"Why? Is there a problem? You don't want Golden Rooster to stay with you? "
"Of course not. I just want to ask if Golden Rooster won't leave after he stays here. If so, I need to arrange an identity for him so as not to arouse others' suspicion. You know, although I'm hiding in the northwest now, there are many eyes staring at me. If a Level Eight expert suddenly appears beside me, it will arouse others' attention. Besides, Golden Rooster doesn't wear a mask every time he takes action, so many people recognize him. Therefore, if someone sees him, it will be easy to associate him with someone else!"
"What do you mean?!" Golden Rooster was dissatisfied.
"I mean, Golden Rooster, you'd better put on some makeup or wear a skin mask. Don't let others recognize your identity at a glance. That's better. Also, you have to hide your strength. Don't act like an expert the moment you come out. I think it's better to take it step by step!"
"Then what should I do?!"
"Recently, there are a lot of refugees in my territory. Everyone was trafficked by human traffickers. So, at the beginning, no one is familiar with each other. You mix in with them first and show your skills when you adapt to the environment. That will attract others' attention. As for me, my territory has just been established and there are many things waiting to be done. It just so happens that I need to find talents. It's a matter of course to recruit you. In this way, no one will be suspicious. Of course, you just have to show your strength at Level One or Two!"
