After Zhang Yan finished his words, he bowed to the people of Qing Xuan Sect and used his escape technique. He turned into a beam of rainbow light and headed east.
Pure White Immortal moved to Mao Wuwei's side and said, "Are you really willing to give him the pearl just like that?"
Mao Wuwei curled his lips and said, "That treasure can only be used by blood sacrifice. Are you willing to give it up or am I? This kind of evil treasure, how can it be better than three magical weapons? "
On the other side, Reverend Pious Passion was puzzled and said, "Senior Brother, do you really believe this person's words? Maybe this pearl has other uses and he was just trying to deceive us?"
Mao Wuwei looked at the direction where Zhang Yan left and sneered, "Whether it's true or not, it's already been given out. Why bother thinking about it? Our Qing Xuan Sect doesn't need to get involved in this mess. Let He Yizhu and Chen Yuan worry about it."
Zhang Yan's original intention was to go east to look for Fengxiang Sword School. After an hour, he bumped into the people of Kuxin Sect who were returning to the south. He needed to pay his respects to this sect, so he changed his escape light and stopped in front of the flying boat. He bowed and said, "He Zhangmen pays his respects."
He Yizhu didn't invite him up, but two auspicious clouds dropped down from the cloud plate and carried him out with a few elders. He Yizhu's eyes were filled with caution as he said, "So it's Zhenren Zhang, aren't you here to get the treasure from the Qian position dragon pillar, why are you here to look for me?"
Zhang Yan said seriously, "The purpose of my trip is related to the treasure of the dragon pillar."
He Yizhu was shocked. He took a step back and looked around. He felt scared again and took half a step forward. He raised his voice and said, "The five sects have already agreed on how to divide the pillar. Zhenren Zhang is also here. Is he going back on his words now?
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "He Zhangmen misunderstood. I didn't mean that. Since the treasure is in your sect's hands, I won't ask for it for free. I'm willing to exchange my elixir formula."
"Pill recipe?"
He Yizhu smiled disdainfully and said, "Everyone in the world knows about my Bitter Heart Sect's alchemy ability. What's the use of a few pill recipes, Daoist Zhang? "
Zhang Yan smiled and didn't say much. He handed over the two pill recipes and said, "It won't be too late to discuss after He Zhangmen reads them."
He Yizhu took it. At first, he had a look of disdain on his face, but as he continued to look at it … His gaze froze and his hands tightened.
However, after looking through it, he noticed that a few spirit herbs were missing from the crucial areas. He flipped through it repeatedly but was unable to find them. Knowing that the other party had intentionally hidden them, he couldn't help but hesitate.
The elder behind him saw that his expression was strange. "Senior Brother, you …"
He Yizhu closed her eyes and pushed the pill recipe into his arms. She sighed and said, "Go and look at it yourself."
The elder took it curiously. He was an expert in this field. With just a cursory look, he knew that this pill recipe was no small matter. Not only did it describe how to refine a precious pill, but it also contained an extremely brilliant alchemy technique. Even if the intricacies weren't fully explained, one could still see the whole picture. If he could get his hands on it, he would definitely be able to improve his alchemy skills to the next level. If it was passed down, the entire sect would benefit immensely. He said excitedly, "Sect Leader!"
He Yizhu knew that he was tempted, but he was also in a difficult position.
Based on the current situation, the pill formula was undoubtedly more important. However, the pearl had been obtained from beneath the dragon pillar. He didn't dare to confirm whether or not it had been passed down by Patriarch Damu, but he could sense that it contained an enormous secret that he couldn't give up so easily.
After thinking for a while, he grabbed the pill recipe from the elder's hands and tossed it to Zhang Yan. He said, "Zhenren Zhang, my sect doesn't need this item. Please take it back."
Zhang Yan seemed to have expected this outcome. With a wave of his sleeve, the pill recipe was immediately turned into powder. The elder's face was filled with pain. He then tossed a porcelain bottle over and said, "What if it's this item?"
He Yizhu didn't dare to take it. She only sent a stream of spiritual energy to hold it, blocking it from thirty feet away. She asked carefully, "What is this item?"
Zhang Yan said, "This item is called Penglai Qi. If a cultivator breathes in it when breaking through to the next realm, their chances of success will increase greatly."
He Zhangmen's eyes lit up. This was obviously another good treasure.
His Ku Xin Sect was different from other sects. Half of his cultivation depended on his own training and the other half on the consumption of pills. Although he advanced faster than his peers, when he reached the threshold, he needed a lot of pills, and the higher he advanced, the harder it was.
Now his cultivation had reached the second Yuanying realm, but to go to the third realm, he needed to consume hundreds of pills. However, the pills needed to refine this pill were extremely rare. If he wanted to find all of them, he would have to wait for hundreds of years. If this Penglai Qi really had such an effect, its value was even higher than the pill recipe Just Now.
He looked like he was struggling. After a long time, he finally made a decision. He opened his mouth and said bitterly, "Zhenren Zhang, I still can't agree." He looked at the porcelain bottle with great reluctance and pushed it back.
Zhang Yan was rejected twice, but he wasn't angry. He kept the porcelain bottle and said, "If that's the case, I won't force you. I only hope that He Zhangmen will protect this treasure and not lose it."
He Yizhu's face darkened. She said, "Zhenren Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to inform He Zhangmen that this precious pearl is an evil item. I think your sect has already noticed it when you took it. If there's a disaster in the future, don't be careful. I will take my leave now."
He Yizhu only took this as a threat. She laughed coldly and cupped her hands, saying, "Zhenren Zhang, you don't have to worry about me. I won't see you out!"
Zhang Yan leaped up and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the High Cloud in front of everyone and went beyond the sky.
The Elder then said, "Sect Leader, this precious pearl is very strange. What's the use of it? But with that pill recipe, our Ku Xin Sect … "
He Yizhu snorted and interrupted him, saying, "Senior Brother, think about it carefully. If that precious pearl is really inferior to those two items, why would he be willing to exchange it?"
The Elder was stunned. He then slapped his forehead and said, "Sect Leader, you're really far-sighted. I'm muddle-headed. I almost missed the important matters for the momentary benefit in front of me."
After Zhang Yan left, he continued to head east on his sword. However, he did not see any disciples of Fengxiang Sword School after circling around the Xun and Zhen Pillars. Hence, he summoned a disciple of Zhongtai Sect to ask him about it. After asking around, he found out that a few days ago, Chen Yuan had already left with his disciples without saying goodbye. They turned to the West Sea Realm and returned to the South Continent. Even if he chased after them now, he would not be able to make it in time.
He thought about it for a while. Apart from the Sect Leader of Fengxiang Sect, the other five Sword Masters were each in charge of a region. Their power was not small either. When Chen Yuan returned to the sect, there would be people from the Heaven's Abode holding the fort and many Elders holding him back. It was far from being able to settle the accounts on his own compared to the outside world. Even if he took out enough valuable items, he might not be able to exchange for the Star Pearl. Hence, he could only give up on the matter.
He still did not know who had lost the two Star Pearls that flew to Kwantam-in. If Zhongtai's pearl was still in his hands, he was confident that he could get it. In that case, he would have four Star Pearls in his hands. If the demon under the seal really broke free, it would definitely take the initiative to come to him. He had to be prepared in advance.
He looked at the South deeply. With a flick of his sleeves, he soared into the sky and flew away with the wind. After half a day, he returned to the altar in the Southwest where the banquet was held.
At this moment, the banquet was over. Once the cultivators of the three sects left, most of the itinerant cultivators who attended the banquet also left. Only over a hundred cultivators of Mount Shenwu remained.
He glanced around and saw that Sect Leader Qiao's carriage was still there. There was no need to go to Hope Voice Mountain to look for him anymore. He stopped the conveyance light and stood outside the main hall.
Seeing that their master had returned safely, the Wang sisters were overjoyed and hurriedly came up to greet him.
Wang Caiwei handed over a long wooden box and said, "Disciple has followed Master's instructions and has gone to the Qian position dragon pillar to find this item."
Zhang Yan glanced at it and put his hands into his sleeves. He nodded and said, "Well done."
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Elder Bai came out of the hall with a smile on his face. As he walked forward, he cupped his hands and said, "Zhenren Zhang has returned. Sect Leader and Madam have been waiting for a long time. Please come in and have a chat with Zhenren."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said, "There's no need. I still have important matters to attend to and need to return to the mountain earlier. I just want to ask Elder Bai to pass a message to Sect Leader Qiao for me. Tell him that I want the treasure of the dragon pillar in his hands. I wonder if he is willing to part with it?"
Elder Bai's heart skipped a beat. This was a serious matter and he dared not make the decision himself. He said, "Please wait for a moment, Zhenren. I will be back soon."
He hurried back to the main hall and saw Sect Leader Qiao and his wife. He then reported the message verbatim.
After Qiao Huanjuan heard it, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "Zhenren Zhang really said that?"
Elder Bai nodded solemnly.
Madam Zhao asked curiously, "Zhenren Zhang clearly did not care much about this item before. Why are you interested now?"
Qiao Huanjuan stood up and walked forward. He looked at the painting of the rising sun and waves on the screen behind him. He seemed to have understood something. After a while, he turned around and said with a determined gaze, "Give it to him!"
Elder Bai reminded him solemnly, "Senior Brother, that is the treasure left behind by the Dragon Pillar. Perhaps it was left behind by the Founding Master. Even the three sects of South Continent have their own treasures. Is it appropriate to give it away like this?"
Madam Zhao also said, "Husband, you still need to consider it carefully."
Qiao Huanjuan raised his hand and waved it off. He said, "If it was written by the Founding Master, it would be fine. I would not give it away even if I had to risk my life. But this is a precious pearl of unknown origin. It even cost the lives of two of my disciples. Holding it in my hands is also a hot potato. It might be a good thing to give it to Zhenren Zhang."
Just Now thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zhang Yan did not mention anything else and directly asked for this pearl. That meant that Zhang Yan was willing to accept a favor from him.
Zhong Tai Sect and the three sects were threatening them. Zhenren Zhang could not act. At this time, they desperately needed an extremely strong helper.
As long as they could survive these hundred years, Zhong Tai would be able to absorb all of Xuan Yue Sect's techniques and divine arts. Thus, in his eyes, a strange magic treasure was far less important than Zhang Yan.
Elder Bai, however, hesitated. He said, "Sect Leader, should I inform Senior Brother Yan?"
Qiao Huanjuan sat down. He said, "I can make the decision on this matter." Then he looked over. "Junior Brother Bai, I also understand what you are worried about. However, Elder Yan has always looked at the big picture. He knows what I have chosen and will definitely understand."
Madam Zhao also said, "Since Husband has already decided to give it away, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. If we hesitate, we will not let others look down on us."
Qiao Huanjuan praised, "Madam is right."
Madam Zhao took out a brass hand warmer from her pouch. The handle was engraved with a fangs. Placing it on the table, she rolled up her sleeves and spread her hands. She said, "The precious pearl is in this hand warmer. Elder Bai, take it and give it to him."
