Although Liang Changgong and Wei Shudan were from the south and north respectively, they did not have much of a relationship with each other. Instead, they had some disagreements.
People often compared the talismans forged by the two of them. Although the two of them did not seem to mind, they were secretly competing with each other. After hundreds of years, there was no great enmity between them, but there were many small conflicts.
The two of them had only worked together once. At that time, it was to forge a talisman for an elder of Zhen Luo Union. The materials used were only slightly inferior to this turtle shell. The talisman forged that time only needed to be nourished for a few years before it gave birth to a true spirit.
If it was not for this experience, Liang Changgong would not even dare to say it.
Zhang Yan already knew that this matter would not be so easy. However, Gui Congyao was a great demon in the Heavenly Abode, so it was reasonable that the remains he left behind were hard to forge. Thus, he nodded and said, "Other than that, are there any other difficulties? Tell me all of them. "
Liang Changgong slightly lowered his body and said, "To forge this kind of talisman, the materials used are a small matter. I can always gather all of them. However, this turtle shell cannot be forged with a normal furnace. I still need to find a Heavenly Furnace of Earthly Fire. Although there is one on Twin Moon Peak, I need the elders of Zhen Luo Union to agree to it before I can use it."
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and already had a plan in mind.
He swung his sleeve and a light flashed. The turtle shell was put away again. He said, "Daoist Liang, there are many things needed to forge this talisman. You should prepare them first. In a few days, I will come back to find you."
With that, he turned around and left the house. In just a few breaths, he was out of the building. He looked around and walked towards the nearest city gate.
After leaving the city. He leapt up and left the North Moon Peak as a streak of swift golden light, heading straight for the island above the twin peaks.
He went around the huge waterfall that rumbled like thunder and arrived in front of the protective formation. He stood in the void and said loudly, "Dong Hua Zhang Yan wishes to pay a visit to the fellow daoists of Zhen Luo Union."
This voice traveled far and went straight into the dao palace located deep within the island. Three Daoists dressed in brown robes appeared in the hall at the same time.
The Zhen Luo Union had a total of thirteen Yuanying elders, and they were usually stationed in important cities. The ones left to guard this place were Che Zi Yi, Huang Zuoguang, and Shang Teng, the three Enlightened Masters.
They didn't need to go out. Just by listening to the sound of astral winds, they knew that the visitor was definitely a Yuanying Zhenren.
Huang Zuoguang's face was wide. His face was flushed and he looked like he was still in his prime. He said in a loud voice, "Elder Shang, you are known to know everything in the world. Do you know where this person came from?"
Shang Teng tucked his hands into his sleeves and said slowly, "Elder Huang, what a coincidence. I happen to know this person's background. "
Huang Zuoguang was waiting to listen, but Shang Teng only said half a sentence and didn't continue. He couldn't help but feel bored, but he didn't want to lose face and ask again. He turned to Che Yi and cupped his fists, "Elder Che, how should we deal with this matter? Should we let him in or not?"
Che Yi's face was old and his hair was long gone. Only his eyebrows were still as black as ink. He had lived for 800 years. Among the three of them, he was the oldest and had the most prestige. If it wasn't something too urgent, he would make the decisions here. He said in a deep voice, "A guest has come from afar, so we should invite him in and ask about the situation. Only then will it be easier to talk. "
At this moment, Shang Teng spoke again. He first cupped his fists towards Che Yi and said, "Elder Che, please reconsider. According to what I know, this person is a cultivator from Donghua Continent's Qincang School. I heard that he killed Guo Mingde and Pang Yuzhong a few days ago. His Dao technique is extremely high, so I don't know what his motive is here. From what I see, it's better to avoid trouble. We can just persuade him to leave, but don't let him in."
Huang Zuoguang snorted and said sarcastically, "Elder Shang is really brave. The three of us are here, but you don't even dare to see him. If this gets out, won't our fellow Daoists laugh until their mouths are crooked?"
Shang Teng ignored him and turned a deaf ear to his sarcasm. He sneered in his heart, "What a brute."
Che Ziyi seriously considered for a moment and said, "Although Elder Shang's words are wise words, our Zhen Luo Union welcomes people of the same path in the world. This person has revealed his identity and came openly to pay his respects. There is no reason for us not to welcome him. Moreover, this person has a grudge with Lie Xuan Sect. Just this point alone makes it impossible for us to reject him. Elders, please follow me to welcome him."
Huang Zuoguang said happily, "Elder Che's words are the same as what I thought. I'll go with you."
Shang Teng was a little unwilling, but his thoughts were deep and he didn't show it on his face. Moreover, the two of them had the same opinion, so it was useless for him to object. Thus, he silently cupped his fists and expressed his obedience.
Che Ziyi nodded his head in satisfaction. His body shook slightly and he said, "Rise." Huang and Shang both activated their escape techniques at the same time.
The three of them flew up together and landed in front of the formation door. Che Ziyi used his spells to open the formation door and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, the formation is open, please come in."
Zhang Yan saw that the obstruction in front of him was gone, so he stepped on the wind and entered the flying island. Not far away, he saw three Daoists standing together, and they were all Yuanying cultivators. He landed in front of them and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Fellow Daoists."
Che Ziyi took the lead to return the greeting, saying, "Greetings, Zhenren Zhang."
After receiving the greeting, Zhang Yan and the three of them sized each other up. Che Ziyi saw that he was tall and extraordinary, and in terms of handsome appearance, he could be said to be one in a million. He couldn't help but praise him in his heart, saying, "This Fellow Daoist Zhang has an extraordinary appearance."
Zhang Yan glanced at them, and from their expressions and expressions, he could make a rough judgment.
Che Ziyi said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist has come from afar to visit, why don't you follow Daoren into the temple and have a taste of the tea here."
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "Sorry to disturb you."
Che Ziyi said, "Please." He got up and flew forward, leading the way. Zhang Yan also followed. After traveling for more than ten miles, there were many temples in his field of vision. They were built against the mountains, and the roofs were connected, occupying a very large area.
The three of them flew into the main hall, and after entering the hall, they sat down as the guest and the host. At this moment, the three of them exchanged names with Zhang Yan, and after serving fragrant tea, they started chatting.
Huang Zuoguang was originally a cultivator from the Dongsheng Continent, but because his sect was destroyed, he came to the Central Pillar Continent. He was bold and unrestrained by nature, and he had been to many places, so he was very talkative.
Shang Teng was silent, and his eyes flickered. From time to time, he would glance over, as if he was secretly observing Zhang Yan.
About an hour later, Huang Zuoguang then asked Zhang Yan about the purpose of his visit.
Zhang Yan said, "I came here to refine a magic treasure. I have already found Fellow Daoist Liang Zhanggong, and I thought that everything is ready, but he said that he needs to work together with Fellow Daoist Wei Shudan to be confident. However, these two Daoists have different temperaments, so it is a bit difficult for them to work together. Because they are from your alliance, I would like to ask the elders to come forward and ask these two Daoists to work together."
"Oh?" Huang Zuoguang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Fellow Daoist, do you need Fellow Daoist Wei and Fellow Daoist Liang to work together on this magic treasure? There has been such a thing before, haha, if it is successfully refined, you must let me broaden my horizons. "
At this moment, Shang Teng said casually, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'm afraid you're not here just for this, right?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shang is right. Fellow Daoist Liang said that if we want to refine a treasure, we need an Earthly Fire Heavenly Furnace. Although there is no lack of this item in my sect, it is hundreds of thousands of miles away. Distant water can't quench the present thirst, so I would like to borrow the furnace of your alliance. I wonder if it is possible?"
Che Yi pondered for a while and stroked his beard, "Fellow Daoist is making things difficult for us. The Heavenly Furnace in our alliance is not our private property, so it can't be borrowed just because you say so. This matter requires the other elders to agree."
Zhang Yan smiled. He raised his head and swept his gaze across the faces of the three of them. He slowly said, "If your honorable alliance is willing to settle this matter, I am willing to lend you a hand when your honorable alliance fights against the Xuan Sect in the future."
When Huang Zuoguang heard this, he said happily, "Is that true?"
Shang Teng's eyes flickered.
Che Yi stroked his beard and did not say a word. After a while, he glanced at Shang Teng, and the latter understood and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is not a small matter. Fellow Daoist, please allow us to discuss it first before giving an answer. What do you think?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
Shang Teng clapped his hands and called a Daoist child over. He said, "Bring Zhenren Zhang to another place to rest."
Zhang Yan stood up with a smile, bowed to the three of them, and left with the Daoist child.
After he left, Huang Zuoguang said anxiously, "Elder Che, why didn't you agree to him just now? Since this person's Dao technique is so brilliant, we can ask him to lend us a hand and help us recapture our lost land. Whether he succeeds or not, it won't harm us. This is a matter that costs us nothing, so why not? "
Shang Teng said with a sullen face, "I don't think so! This person is a cultivator of the East Flower Continent, how can he interfere with the matters of the Middle Pillar Continent? Now that the outcome between our alliance and the Lie Xuan Sect has not been decided, there are still many variables. In my opinion, we might as well grant his wish and send him away as soon as possible after we refine that treasure. "
Huang Zuoguang said disapprovingly, "Elder Shang's words are unreasonable. The cultivators of our Zhen Luo Alliance come from all directions, and there is no distinction between the East Flower Continent and the Central Continent. This person has a favor to ask of us, so we can ask him to help us. It's a reasonable move."
Shang Teng said coldly, "Elder Huang, have you forgotten about the disaster of the Shaoqing Sect? If it wasn't for someone opening a formation to welcome them back then, how could the thousand-year-old sects of the Central Pillar Continent be destroyed so easily? I've heard that the Dao Sect that this Zhang Yan belongs to is comparable to the Shaoqing Sect. Just Now, you're trying to curry favor with him. What are you trying to do? "
He was born in the Central Pillar Continent, so he never trusted foreign cultivators like Huang Zuoguang.
When Huang Zuoguang heard this, he became angry as well. He stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean? Speak clearly to this Huang! "
Seeing that the two of them were already quarreling, Che Yi separated his hands and comforted them with a gentle voice, "Don't argue anymore. We're all family, and both of you are accomplished cultivators. Why get angry over an outsider?
Huang Zuoguang snorted and sat down slowly, while Shang Teng turned his head away coldly.
Che Ziyi thought about it and decided to use a compromise. He said, "Since this person can kill Guo and Pang, he's definitely not someone easy to deal with. Even if we can't rope him in, we should try our best not to offend him. Since he wants to refine that treasure, why don't we lend him the Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron? It's not something that can be done overnight. As for the matter of asking him to help, we can discuss it later."
