Two months later, Lady Lian once again came to Black Heart Mountain.
This time, she brought a total of 12 Hidden Earth Lotuses. Once she entered the Floating Tower, she took them out and said, "Daoist, do you think I can exchange these lotuses for a magic treasure?"
The manager saw this and didn't dare to make a decision, "Please wait for a moment, my master will come over to discuss."
Lady Lian smiled and nodded.
The manager didn't waste any time and immediately used a flying sword to send a message. In less than 15 minutes, Zhao Ge arrived. After entering the hall, he carefully looked at Lady Lian.
。
The last time he went back, he thought about it carefully. The figure of the other person was quite similar to the person who robbed him last time. However, he wasn't sure, so he buried it in his heart and didn't tell anyone. He was prepared to wait for the other person to come and identify him.
But this time, the woman came alone and there was no trace of the other person. He couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Because of this, the woman was the same as him, also a Core Formation cultivator. She greeted him politely and then introduced herself.
Lady Lian also greeted him politely.
Zhao Ge looked at the lotuses and pointed, "Daoist Lian, which magic treasure do you want?"
Lady Lian said seriously, "Daoist Zhao, I came to ask for two magic treasures."
Zhao Ge said seriously, "Daoist Zhao, forgive me for being blunt. Although the 12 lotuses are valuable, they are barely comparable to one profound artifact. Two is impossible."
Lady Lian shook her head, "No, I can give the 12 Hidden Earth Lotuses to your City Lord. I only ask that you lend me two magic treasures."
"Lend?"
Zhao Ge was startled. He didn't expect her to make such a request. He pondered for a while and said, "Daoist can wait for a moment. I need to report this to the sect master before I can reply."
Lady Lian smiled and said, "Of course, this servant will wait here."
Zhao Ge didn't say anything more. He turned around and went to Cang Zhu Peak to find Zhang Yan.
Lady Lian sat quietly and waited. This time, in order to find these lotuses, she used a lot of her connections.
Then, she talked about it with a close friend. The latter thought. If it was just to deal with the Dragon Pillar Assembly, there was no need for him to exchange spiritual herbs. He could just borrow them for now. He could think about it later.
In any case, when the Dharma treasure was in his hands. Then it would be up to them to decide. Or he might as well borrow it and not return it. With the power and influence of the Zhongtai Sect, it was not impossible.
Hearing this reminder, Lian Niangzi was like dispelling the clouds and seeing the sun. He also felt that this was a good idea.
After all, other than being difficult to find, the true value of the Crouching Earth Lotus was incomparable to that of a Profound Weapon.
However, in the next moment, Zhao Ge turned back and said, "My sect master invites fellow Daoist to come over for a chat."
Lian Niangzi stood up. Wan Fu said, "Thank you for the trouble."
Zhao Ge said, "I don't dare. Fellow Daoist, please follow me." He made an inviting gesture and immediately led the way.
When the two of them arrived outside the building, they used their escape arts and quickly arrived in front of the cave on Cang Zhu Peak. The Daoist boy outside the door said, "The sect master is waiting for the two of you."
Lian Niangzi followed Zhao Ge into the cave. After walking for a short while, light appeared in front of her eyes. She saw a handsome Daoist sitting on a stone lotus, his body overflowing with spiritual qi. She couldn't help but be shocked. Because of what Elder You said earlier, she thought that this Daoist Master Zhang was a heretical cultivator. She didn't think that the other party was shrouded in spiritual clouds, his aura was pure, and his spiritual breath was vast and broad. With one look, she could tell that he was from the orthodox path.
After calming down a little, she came up and greeted, "This servant Lian Murong greets Sect Master Zhang."
Zhang Yan smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lian, please sit."
After Lian Niangzi sat down, he asked again, "Fellow Daoist, Junior Brother Zhao has already told me why you're here. I just need to ask one more thing. May I know what you're borrowing this Dharma treasure for?"
When Lian Niangzi came, she had already anticipated that Zhang Yan would ask this question. After all, if she borrowed someone else's Dharma treasure and used it to commit evil, wouldn't she be taking the blame for someone else? Therefore, asking about the situation was also part of the question.
She answered unhurriedly, "I won't hide it from Sect Master Zhang. My Zhong Tai Sect and Xuan Yue Cult have always had enmity. These past few years, the disciples of the two sects have crossed swords several times, but there was never a clear victor. Two months from now, there will be a battle in the southwest. Two of my sworn brothers will also be accompanying me, so I wanted to purchase some protective items for them to increase their chances of winning."
For a moment, Zhao Ge's expression became somewhat unnatural. He took a deep breath and said, "So Fellow Daoist Lian is a disciple of Zhong Tai Sect?"
Lian Niangzi smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not a disciple of the sect, but I can still be considered a member of the sect." At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, "My master is the Zhong Tai Sect Master."
Zhao Ge immediately revealed a look of surprise.
There was a reason why Lian Niangzi used this identity. Although the Shen Wu Mountain was located in a remote area, Zhong Tai Sect was still its superior sect in name, and it was also one of the five major sects of the present age. Borrowing this name, it would be much easier to negotiate the conditions.
However, she had a sense of propriety and didn't put on an arrogant and bossy appearance. If she did, others would suspect that she was here to embezzle the transcendent artifact and not to have a good discussion. If she had the heart to resist, then it would be inappropriate.
At this moment, seeing that Zhao Ge was moved, she also felt a bit proud in her heart. However, when she saw that Zhang Yan's expression did not change at all, this little bit of joy had to be put away. She thought to herself, "This Zhang Zhenren really can't be underestimated."
She was well aware of her own situation. Although the disciples in the sect treated her with respect, if they were to really compare, they might not really like her. This was because her husband had more than sixty concubines, but she hadn't given birth to a son or a daughter, so she wasn't really favored by him.
Zhang Yan did not need to think too much to know that this Lian Niangzi's status in Zhong Tai Sect was not high. Otherwise, why would she need to come here to trade for a talisman?
However, even if the person who came was the favored concubine of Zhong Tai Sect, his attitude would not change even a bit.
He pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "I can lend you the talisman, but I have a condition."
Lian Niangzi's spirit was lifted. "Sect Head Zhang, please speak."
Zhang Yan: "Please ask Fellow Daoist Lian and your sworn brothers to come here in person. Only then can you borrow it."
Lian Niangzi's body slightly straightened. She raised her voice and asked, "Is Zhenren afraid that I will borrow it and not return it? No matter, I will just write down a contract. "
Zhang Yan smiled but did not say anything.
Zhao Ge timely interjected, "This is the first time we have met Fellow Daoist Lian, and we have not seen Lian Niangzi and your sworn brothers. There is a layer of separation between us, so it will be difficult to explain when the time comes."
Lian Niangzi knew that the other party did not trust her, but even though she knew that this was the right thing to do, she still felt slightly uncomfortable. Moreover, she was very unwilling to do this. Originally, she could have done her two sworn brothers a big favor, but if the two of them came here in person, it would only be like acting as a middleman. Not only would the weight be much lighter than before, but it would also not win the two's gratitude.
She squeezed out a smile and said, "My two sworn brothers are diligently practicing Daoist techniques for the battle in two months, so they can't leave for the time being and have no time to come here. Could you make an exception?"
Although she was talking to Zhao Ge, she looked at Zhang Yan.
Zhao Ge calmly said, "There is no harm in waiting. When the two Daoists come, I will respectfully await your arrival. There is really no need to rush."
Before Lian Niangzi came here, she had also inquired about the Deep Cave Sect's background, so she still had some confidence. Clearing her throat, she said, "Zhenren Zhang needs Subduing Lotus, I'm afraid twelve stalks are not enough. If I have enough time to calmly search for them, it would not be difficult to find dozens or even hundreds of stalks. Today, could you consider the friendship between Shenwu Mountain and my Zhong Tai Sect and give me some face?"
"This …"
Zhao Ge suddenly felt a little uncertain.
At this moment, Lian Niangzi's bright eyes were staring at Zhang Yan, she said, "When I came here, I heard that there seems to be some misunderstanding between Daoist Zhang and Daoist Hui Xuan. To be honest, he and my Master are brothers-in-law, so I can help to resolve the enmity. What do you think?"
Zhao Ge was a little startled and could not help but raise his head to look at Zhang Yan. Seeing that he did not say anything, he immediately knew what was going on and shook his head, "This is my Deep Cave Sect's matter, there is no need for Daoist Zhang to worry about it."
Although Lian Niangzi's position in the sect was not high, she was after all the Zhongtai Sect Leader's concubine. Wherever she went, everyone would give her some face, softly or forcefully said these kind words. Seeing that Zhao Ge still did not let go, she suddenly became a little impatient, she raised her eyebrows and said, "With my identity, could it be that the two of you still do not believe me?"
Previously, Zhang Yan only watched from the side and let the two of them talk, but he had already seen that Lian Niangzi was very unwilling to his proposal. He still needed to seize the time to cultivate, so he did not want to waste any more time. He smiled slightly and said, "Today, if the Zhongtai Sect Leader was sitting here, I would also reply the same."
What a big tone!
Lian Niangzi turned her eyes over and her eyes suddenly became a little colder. Who did this person think he was? He was just a cultivator from a foreign continent, how could he be compared to my Master?
Could it be that he really thought I was easy to bully after I talked nicely?
She snorted, stood up, and did not even say a word of farewell, just turned around and left.
Zhao Ge could not help but be a little worried, he said, "Shixiong, this woman is after all the Zhongtai Sect Leader's concubine. Now that we have offended her, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Junior Zhao, if this Lian Niangzi is really sincere, she would make a Dharma Oath on the spot, willing to be a guarantor for her two sworn brothers, wouldn't that save a lot of words? Moreover, she did not mention how long it would take for her to borrow it, which means that she has no intention of returning the treasure. In the end, this woman's intentions are not right. In my opinion, even if she borrows the treasure, when you come to ask for it in the future, you will definitely use all kinds of excuses to refuse. At that time, what is the difference between that and taking it away? "
Zhao Ge thought carefully, if the other party was not bound by the oath, it was indeed possible that she would do so, and he would not be able to do anything about it. In his heart, he said, "What Shixiong said is reasonable, this matter cannot be backed down even a little bit."
At this time, he hesitated for a moment, then said, "Shixiong, I have something to report here, this matter may be related to that Lian Niangzi."
After Lian Niangzi left Cang Zhu Peak, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to find someone to flatten the mountain gate of Cold Abyss, but now Zhongtai Sect was busy dealing with Xuan Yue Cult, where would they have the energy to care about this place? Even on a normal day, with her status, she would definitely not be able to do this.
At this time, she suddenly remembered Elder You's words, and a trace of hatred flashed through her eyes. She turned around, gathered up her pill fiend, and headed south.
