If Xiang Haogan agreed, then he would have a reason to make a move on the Giant Spirit Sect.
If Qin Shujian investigated later, the Traceless Sect would also have a reason to explain.
But it was obvious.
Xiang Haogan had his own plans and would not go according to his plan at all.
Yin Bancheng could do nothing about it.
Jing Bianyun said, "Our sect has a grudge with the Giant Spirit Sect. These grudges have lasted for thousands of years. I think Sect Master Qin is also a reasonable person. There won't be any problems."
"I think so."
Xiang Haogan chuckled.
No matter what Yin Bancheng said to Jing Bianyun now, he would give an ambiguous answer.
He wouldn't give a definite answer, but he wouldn't reject it outright.
In short, he was trying to smooth things over.
There was no other way.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Traceless Sect wanted to kill the Giant Spirit Sect.
But from Qin Shujian's perspective, it was a completely different story.
Liang Mountain Spirit Domain.
In the forbidden area, Qin Shujian withdrew from his cultivation state. The spirit stones placed there were dim in color. The spirit qi had almost been absorbed.
"Four hundred and sixty-three star acupoints!"
Looking at the acupoints in his body, a smile rose on Qin Shujian's lips.
He had used up all his foundation in exchange for today's success.
Before he went into seclusion.
He only had three hundred and ninety-six stellar acupoints.
Now, he had 463.
This time, he had opened a total of 67 star acupoints in his seclusion.
Feeling the surging power in his body, the smile on Qin Shujian's face became more and more obvious. "I've opened 67 acupoints, but my strength has increased by at least 50% on the original basis.
As I guessed, the further I cultivate, the more my strength increases after opening the star acupoints. "
Although he had not broken through to the second layer of the Heaven Human Realm.
But he had already walked a long way in the first layer of the Heaven Human Realm.
Before he started cultivating, Qin Shujian did not have the confidence to deal with a cultivator at the third stage of the Sky Human Realm with his own strength and without using his Array Dao cultivation.
But now, he was confident that he could suppress an ordinary cultivator in the third layer of the Heaven Human Realm with his own strength.
Realm was the foundation. The higher one's realm was, the longer one could live.
However, when one's realm could not be raised, strength was the most important factor.
However …
Looking at the gloomy spirit stones around him, Qin Shujian sighed again. "The other Sky Human stage cultivators probably don't need so many resources for their cultivation."
Front and back.
He had spent over a thousand Spirit Stones.
Under such circumstances, he was still unable to advance from the first level of the Sky Human Realm to the second level of the Sky Human Realm.
Any other cultivator at level 1 of the Sky Human stage would have succeeded in breaking through to level 2 of the Sky Human stage, given the support of so many spirit stones.
Regarding this.
Qin Shujian felt helpless.
There was nothing he could do about it. Opening the Stellar acupoints and condensing the Myriad Manifestations Astral Body required too much Spirit Qi.
They were much stronger than cultivators of the same level.
Similarly, they had to pay a corresponding price.
There were gains and losses, and it all depended on how one weighed it.
Qin Shujian did not want to destroy the Gui Yuan Ancestral Canon, cultivate a new cultivation method, and then become a Celestial Being.
Or else …
He had done so long ago. There was no need for him to work so hard to synthesize a cultivation method.
The reason why he did so was because he hoped to have unparalleled combat strength while having a realm.
"It's good to challenge someone of a higher realm!"
"I just hope that I won't be the one to be challenged."
Qin Shujian shook his head, then took out the communication jade token and read the message inside.
He ended his cultivation this time.
Firstly, it was because the spirit stones were almost used up, and secondly, there was a message that disturbed him.
Qin Shujian was not in seclusion, so he would still receive the message.
Usually, if there was nothing urgent, no one would send him a message. However, if there was a message, it was basically something important.
Getting up from the forbidden area, Qin Shujian looked at the spirit stones scattered around him and set up a spirit gathering array to cover these spirit stones.
In the next few years …
These spirit stones would not be used.
At least, he would not use the spirit stones here before the spirit qi inside was completely replenished.
The Myriad Manifestations Astral Body had advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was …
As long as there was enough spirit qi, the breakthrough would be a piece of cake. After all, the star acupoints could be opened all the way.
Unlike other cultivation methods, even with the help of spirit stones, the cultivation needed to be done step by step.
However, the disadvantages were also obvious.
If there were not enough spirit stones, the breakthrough would be much slower than others.
After placing the spirit stones properly.
Qin Shujian turned and left the forbidden area.
In the Chengwu Hall.
Giant Spirit Zi and Xiang Hongfei looked at Qin Shujian in front of them and both stood up and cupped their hands, "Giant Spirit Sect's Giant Spirit Zi (Tiangang Sect's Xiang Hongfei) greets Sect Master Qin!"
"Both of you, please take a seat."
Qin Shujian said calmly.
"Thank you, Sect Master Qin." The two also sat down.
After sitting down, Giant Spirit Zi and Xiang Hongfei also secretly sized up Qin Shujian.
It was also their first time seeing this Diviner Supreme Cultivator who was famous in the cultivation world.
Qin Shujian casually picked up the teacup beside him and looked at the two of them, saying, "Why are the Giant Spirit Sect and Tiangang Sect here this time? I don't remember having any contact with the two sects?"
"Sect Master Qin, you must be joking. Sect Master Qin's name is famous in the cultivation world, and you deserve to be the number one person in the cultivation world in Beiyun Mansion. The two of us also know about your reputation and regret not having the chance to meet you normally.
This time, we heard that Sect Master Qin is in Yuanzong, so we specially came to visit you. "
Giant Spirit Zi smiled.
Qin Shujian nodded as if he understood something, then said, "Since you're just here to see me, now that you've seen me, can the two of you leave?"
"— —"
Giant Spirit Zi's smile froze, and the words he was about to say were all rebutted back.
He never thought that Qin Shujian would refuse so straightforwardly.
To put it bluntly, this was already a slap to his face.
But — —
With Qin Shujian's identity and status, even if he publicly slapped his face, he, Giant Spirit Zi, had to accept it. This was not Traceless Sect, and the other party was not Yin Bancheng.
When it came to domineering and ruthless.
In the cultivation world of Beiyun Mansion, if Qin Shujian claimed to be second, no one would claim to be first.
Xiang Hongfei, who was on the side, also had a solemn expression at this time.
The meaning of Qin Shujian's words had already revealed his dissatisfaction with the two sects.
He had to think about it.
Was it because of Traceless Sect that caused the other party's dissatisfaction?
However —
Xiang Hongfei glanced at Giant Spirit Zi, but still did not interrupt.
Since the other party wanted him to personally go up, then he would just watch.
Anyway, this trip to Yuanzong was just a formality, and the one who really made the decision was still Giant Spirit Zi.
Just when Giant Spirit Zi was about to reply —
Qin Shujian said, "My sect released the news that no one can stop Yin Bancheng from breaking through, but now it seems that some people did not put this sentence in their eyes. But it's fine if they just don't put it in their eyes.
I'm just afraid that some people don't even put Yuanzong in their eyes. That would be troublesome. "
"Sect Master Qin's words are reasonable. According to my investigation, the people who took action this time should be Yuanzong Mansion, Crimson Heaven Sect, and Yin-Yang Sect. If Yuanzong wants to find trouble with Yuanzong Mansion, Giant Spirit Sect and Tiangang Sect will definitely follow."
Giant Spirit Zi did not hesitate to sell out the two sects.
Qin Shujian was obviously going to condemn him at this time. If he did not sell out the two sects, then he would have to take the blame himself.
It was better to die than to die.
Giant Spirit Zi was very frank and direct.
"Fine, then the Giant Spirit Sect and Tiangang Sect will take the lead and destroy Yin-Yang Sect and Crimson Heaven Sect first. If Nine Palace Sect takes action, I will naturally resist."
Qin Shujian nodded.
Nine Palace Sect was the top sect of Yuanzong Mansion.
Every prefecture had a top-notch sect that suppressed the cultivation world.
Before Yuanzong appeared, Beiyun Mansion was the only one that did not have a top sect in the cultivation world.
Therefore, in terms of strength, Beiyun Mansion was the weakest among the thirteen manors.
It was only until Yuanzong's appearance that this situation was broken.
Giant Spirit Zi said seriously, "If Sect Master Qin says so, we will naturally obey."
"It seems that Giant Spirit Sect and Tiangang Sect really give Yuanzong face."
Qin Shujian smiled faintly before his face turned cold. "If I remember correctly, you, Giant Spirit Zi, also took action a few days ago to sneak attack Jingbian Yun. Although Yin-Yang Sect and Crimson Heaven Sect are hateful, your Giant Spirit Sect is not any better.
Originally, I didn't plan to take action against the Giant Spirit Sect so soon, but since you have delivered yourself to my door, then don't blame others. "
As soon as he finished speaking.
A terrifying murderous intent filled the hall.
Giant Spirit Zi and Xiang Hongfei's hearts tightened.
In front of this killing intent, the two were like drifting boats in the sea that could be swallowed up at any time.
Giant Spirit Zi squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Giant Spirit Zi is willing to admit his guilt. If Sect Master Qin really wants to punish me, then I will accept it. Even if I die, I am willing."
Qin Shujian looked at him deeply and said calmly, "You disobeyed my orders. It would be unreasonable if you were not punished. However, seeing that your attitude is good, I will give you a chance to live.
If you can take one move from me and not die, then this matter will be over. If you die, then it is because you are not strong enough. You can't blame others. "
Not strong enough.
How dare you go against Yuanzong? You deserve to die.
Giant Spirit Zi's smile disappeared, and his face was unprecedentedly solemn. He could hear that Qin Shujian really wanted to kill him.
One move!
Hearing this, not only did he not relax, but he became even more solemn.
One move of a Diviner.
It was absolutely extraordinary.
Qin Shujian dared to say this. If he did not deal with it seriously, Giant Spirit Zi did not doubt that he would die in the Inherited Martial Hall.
He came to the door confidently and was killed cleanly.
If this spread out, it would be a joke.
Just as Giant Spirit Zi was about to speak, Qin Shujian's finger was stained with tea. Then, with a flick of his finger, a drop of tea instantly shattered the void and flew towards Giant Spirit Zi.
It was obviously a drop of tea that could not be any more normal.
At this moment, it exploded with a fatal killing intent.
Giant Spirit Zi did not even have time to think and hurriedly used his trump card. A shadow of a pagoda had just condensed around his body, but it was quickly smashed into pieces.
Boom!!
Giant Spirit Zi's chest burst out with blood, and he was directly sent flying.
A sudden change of events.
This made Xiang Hongfei, who was sitting at the side, stand up in shock. His face was full of disbelief.
His body smashed onto the floor of the hall, and the entire Inherited Martial Hall trembled slightly.
"Pfft!"
After Giant Spirit Zi landed on the ground, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
The clothes on his chest exploded, and his flesh was badly mutilated. One could even see his faintly beating heart.
Soon, Giant Spirit Zi took out a pill from his storage ring and swallowed it. The wound on his chest eased and recovered a lot. His originally pale face also had a bit of rosy color.
He struggled to stand up from the ground and said, "Sect Master Qin's strength is earth-shattering. I admire you!"
In his words, his weak state was obvious.
Qin Shujian glanced at him and said indifferently, "There are some things that you don't have to pretend too much. What I said naturally counts. Since you didn't die after receiving one of my moves, then the matter of disobeying orders will be forgotten."
"Thank you, Sect Master Qin."
Giant Spirit Zi's pale face suddenly became much rosier. Then, he returned to his original position and sat down.
If not for the change, he would have thought that he was going to die just now.
This scene.
Xiang Hongfei's expression did not relax.
Regardless of whether Giant Spirit Zi was seriously injured or not, he was definitely injured.
A single drop of tea was able to injure a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. This kind of strength was shocking.
To be able to become the Sect Master of a large territory.
Giant Spirit Zi's strength was a bit stronger than the average Peak Divine Martial expert.
Not to mention half a step.
But it was not much different.
But even so, Giant Spirit Zi was still injured by Qin Shujian.
Even if Giant Spirit Zi did not use his true strength, Qin Shujian just casually made a move.
Qin Shujian said, "Even if the matter of Giant Spirit Sect making a move is over, there was still someone who secretly made a move and drove the Dao artifact to self-destruct. Does Sect Master Xiang have any explanation for this matter?"
"Uh, I hope Sect Master Qin can understand. My Tiangang Sect did not know about the self-destruction of the Dao artifact," Xiang Hongfei said seriously.
"It doesn't matter whether you know or not. There has to be an explanation for this matter. If you take one of my moves like Giant Spirit Zi, this matter will be considered over."
Qin Shujian said indifferently.
Whether it was Tiangang Sect or not, it was not important in his eyes.
No matter what, he had to find a scapegoat to vent his anger.
Xiang Hongfei sent himself to the door, and Qin Shujian did not let the other party escape so easily. In his opinion, the person who secretly made a move was basically Xiang Hongfei.
Giant Spirit Sect made a move.
Tiangang Sect had no reason to stand by and do nothing.
Xiang Hongfei heard this, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times.
He finally knew.
This Sect Master Qin did not need any evidence at all. He did things based on his own preferences.
In this regard, Xiang Hongfei was also very helpless.
"May I ask Sect Master Qin, can I change the form?"
"Huh?"
"Tiangang Sect is willing to contribute two spirit stones to make up for this crime. I wonder if Sect Master Qin has agreed?" Xiang Hongfei said sincerely.
Qin Shujian's originally tense face also smiled slightly at this time and nodded, "Since Sect Master Xiang has said so, if I refuse, it will be a bit of a disgrace to you. It's settled then."
"Thank you, Sect Master Qin!"
Xiang Hongfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately felt some pain.
Two spirit stones.
For Tiangang Sect, it was also a large sum of money.
But compared to his own injuries, this price was still bearable if he gritted his teeth.
Giant Spirit on the side looked up at the top of the hall and was speechless for a while.
Why didn't he think of this?
Spirit stones to buy a life!
Xiang Hongfei really thought of it.
If he could think of it earlier, Giant Spirit would almost choose the same approach.
Qin Shujian's move just now.
Although it did not seriously injure him, it was not light either. It would take at least a few months of recuperation to fully recover.
Qin Shujian said, "The small things are done, let's talk about business. What is the purpose of you coming here? Don't rush to answer me. Think clearly. If you continue to beat around the bush, I don't have time to waste with you."
Giant Spirit Sect and Tiangang Sect came to the door for no reason.
To say that nothing happened, Qin Shujian would never believe it.
Even if the two didn't say it, he could guess a little.
The two looked at each other and Giant Spirit said, "Yin Bancheng broke through to the Celestial Being Realm. Our Giant Spirit Sect and Traceless Sect have always had a lot of grievances. Now that Traceless Sect's strength has greatly increased, Giant Spirit Sect admits that we don't have the capital to resist.
So I implore Sect Master Qin to lend a helping hand and protect our Giant Spirit Sect. "
Xiang Hongfei also echoed, "Tiangang Sect also has the same intention."
"Protection?"
Qin Shujian said with a faint smile, "What price are you willing to pay?"
"Sect Master Qin can speak as long as we can do it!"
"Every sect will receive thirty spirit stones. In addition, thirty percent of the annual profits from the various industries will have to be given to the Sky Origin Sect. If you agree, as long as you don't deliberately cause trouble, and if the Sky Origin Sect is able to do so, I will guarantee your sect's safety."
Qin Shujian said.
As soon as these words came out, both of their faces changed.
Thirty spirit stones were still acceptable. The two sects could grit their teeth and take it out.
But 30% of the annual net income of various industries was unacceptable to the two.
Because once they agreed.
Then the Giant Spirit Sect and Tiangang Sect would be regarded as Sky Origin Sect's vassals.
And 30% of the net income was also not a small amount.
It was fine in the short term.
But if it continued for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, this number would accumulate and it would be terrifying.
This was not an alarmist talk.
How old was Qin Shujian now? According to the rumors, he was only about 30 years old.
As long as a Celestial Being didn't die, he could live for at least five thousand years.
As long as Qin Shujian didn't die.
The chance of the two sects resisting Sky Origin Sect was almost zero.
In other words.
As long as they agreed to Qin Shujian, then in the next few thousand years, the Giant Spirit Sect and Tiangang Sect would be Sky Origin Sect's vassals.
Right now, Ju Lingzi's expression was also fluctuating.
He had long expected Qin Shujian to ask for an exorbitant price.
But he never thought that the other party would be so ambitious.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted the two sects to become his Sky Origin Sect's vassals.
As for Xiang Hongfei, he was not much better at this time.
Looking at the conflicted expressions of the two, Qin Shujian said, "You two can think about it carefully. The problem now is not just the Traceless Sect. In the future, when the Eastern Continent connects to the three major continents, there will definitely be trouble again.
At that time, it might even affect the entire Human Clan of the Eastern Continent.
If you agree, when the Beiyun Mansion is in turmoil, Sky Origin Sect can still protect you. "
The Eastern Continent!
The three major continents!
Hearing this, the expressions of the two changed again.
Although the Imperial Court had publicized the matter of the three major continents, the news of the three major continents did not cause much of a stir before the Heaven and Earth Restriction was truly opened.
Even when the news first spread, it caused an uproar.
However, in the next few months, this news gradually died down.
Now that Qin Shujian mentioned it again, the two of them remembered it again.
Giant Spirit Sect was silent for a while and said, "30% of the profit is fine, but there is one thing that I hope to change. If our two sects are in danger, Sky Origin Sect needs to do everything you can to help."
He could hear the loophole in Qin Shujian's words.
What do you mean by doing everything you can.
At that time, Sky Origin Sect could casually find an excuse and say that he couldn't leave.
"50%!"
Qin Shujian stretched out a hand and said, "50% of the net profit of the two sects. Under the condition that it doesn't harm the foundation of Sky Origin Sect, if the two sects are in trouble, Sky Origin Sect will definitely help."
"50% is too much. If we give out so much profit, our sect will stop moving forward. In another thousand years, even if there are no foreign enemies invading, we will be destroyed."
Giant Spirit Sect frowned and said, "40% at most. Sect Master Qin, this is the biggest concession we can make."
In his opinion.
If Sky Origin Sect was really so ruthless, then he would rather join forces with Tiangang Sect to fight against Traceless Sect.
As for the so-called three major continents, everything was unknown.
Whether or not he could really threaten them was another matter altogether.
Now they agreed.
It was equivalent to investing in some things in advance to have a guarantee in the future.
But if they invested too much, they would rather take the risk themselves.
Seeing this.
Qin Shujian nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"
50%. That was just nonsense. He never thought that the other party would agree.
Even.
To be able to get 40% of the profit was already beyond Qin Shujian's expectations.
Originally, he thought that under the other party's argument, 30% would also be agreed.
After all, to be able to become a major sect of a large region, the foundation of the two sects was really not shallow.
Now that there were two more sects to supply, Sky Origin Sect had another stable source of income, which was very beneficial for the development of the sect.
After the matter was finalized.
The rest of the things were much simpler.
Qin Shujian gave the two of them a deadline, which was to send 30 spirit stones to Sky Origin Sect within a month. As for the other income, it would be settled once a year.
After the matter was settled.
Giant Spirit Sect and Xiang Hongfei also got up to leave.
The two of them didn't want to stay in Sky Origin Sect for a moment longer. The more they stayed, the more they felt that they would lose.
After leaving Sky Origin Sect's territory, the two of their faces became gloomy.
Giant Spirit Sect sighed. "This time, we really suffered a double loss. We misjudged him!"
Originally, he thought that no matter how shameless Qin Shujian was, there would be a limit.
After all, as a Heavenly Supreme Cultivator, he still paid attention to face.
In the end — —
Giant Spirit Sect found that this was completely different from what he had thought.
In terms of shamelessness, he found that he was still a lot worse than Qin Shujian.
If he didn't know the other party's identity.
He almost thought that he was dealing with a hooligan.
Xiang Hongfei also sighed. "This time, I've been screwed over by you."
Giant Spirit Sect deserved to be screwed over.
He was screwed over because he was implicated.
