Elder Bai left Hope Voice Mountain and traveled for half a month before arriving at Cang Zhu Peak. On the second day, he was led to the hall to greet Zhang Yan.
After greeting, he first stated his purpose of coming, saying that he wanted to invite Tao Zhenren to worship Zhong Tai. He then said, "When I came, Sect Leader Qiao said that if Zhenren Zhang is willing to do this, our sect will reward you handsomely."
The three sects of the South Continent had their Primordial Qi damaged in the battle with Primogenitor. They had not made any moves in the past few years, quietly licking their wounds. However, Zhongtai had more than one enemy. Above the North Sea, the Python Tribe was ready to make a move.
Especially after learning of Zhenren Zhang's death, they attacked frequently, sending demons to bypass Shenwu Mountain and invade from the Donghao Sea.
There was also a rumor that the Luo family had found Xuan Yue Sect's ambassador, Chunyu Ji, and were prepared to work together to take back the sect's old haunt.
This was a blow to Zhong Tai's life. Back then, they did not kill Elder Xuan Yue, leaving behind a great hidden danger. Xuan Yue Sect had only been destroyed for a few decades. With the support of the Python Tribe, it was very likely for them to rise again.
Zhang Yan was very clear that the Python Tribe did not know the attitude of the three sects of South Continent. They were still probing and did not make any big moves.
However, once they understood the situation, they would probably make a move. To Zhong Tai, the situation was very urgent.
If Zhong Tai was destroyed by the Python Tribe, it would not be what he wanted.
If the situation in the continent was chaotic, it was hard to say if it would affect his cultivation. He could find a way to inform Tao Zhenren about this.
As for whether Zhenren Dongtian would be willing to come, it was unknown. After all, if Luo Mengze was determined to come to land, he only needed to find a way to make the Carp Tribe work. Keeping a close eye on the Clear Feather Sect, he could avoid any worries.
Elder Bai saw that he was deep in thought. He thought that he was still hesitating, so he gave a look to a disciple behind him.
The disciple understood and immediately brought out a black jade plate. There were two items on it, both of which were covered by a silk cloth.
Elder Bai cupped his hands together and said, "Sect Leader Zhang, one of these items contains the three spiritual herbs that you require. After the matter is completed, there will be another reward. As for the other item, before Daoist Zheng passed away, he said that he would give you. "
Zhang Yan said in surprise, "Left by Zhenren Zheng? Give it to me. "
Jing You walked forward, took the black jade plate, and presented it to him.
As soon as Zhang Yan thought about it, a breeze blew over. The silk cloth fluttered to one side, revealing the item underneath.
On the left was a half-foot-high porcelain urn, and on the right was a turtle shell shaped like a beautiful jade. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Jade Turtle Shell that was given to Zheng Weixing. His eyebrows raised. He asked, "What else did Zhenren Zheng say?"
Bai Changfeng Daoren: "Daoist Zheng only said that he wanted to give this item to you, he didn't say anything else."
Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but guess the purpose of this move. At this time, he suddenly saw that the seam of the Jade Turtle Shell was filled with spiritual energy, as if there was a brilliance coming out. His heart moved, and he went up to lift it. He saw that there was actually a talisman inside the shell.
He didn't take it, but focused his eyes and opened the talisman. He found that it was a letter left behind by Zheng Weixing. The general meaning was that he recklessly used the restriction to prolong his life, causing him to meet his fate. It was his own fault, and no one else was to blame.
After reading it, Zhang Yan figured out the meaning.
He originally thought that Zhong Tai knew why Zheng Weixing died, but for the sake of the sect's overall situation, he had to endure it.
But looking at this letter, Zheng Weixing obviously didn't say why he met his fate. This was clearly to deliberately leave room for reconciliation between the two sects. Of course, putting aside his life, this choice was still very beneficial to Zhong Tai for the time being.
He put down the letter and looked at the Jade Turtle Shell. He didn't expect that the other party didn't use this item and that it would return to his hands.
He raised his head and said to the bottom of the stairs, "I already understand Zhenren Zheng's intentions. I can also pass on Tao Zhenren's words on Zhong Tai's behalf. However, what Zhenren thinks is not something I can control."
Elder Bai hurriedly said, "Yes, yes. As long as we receive Clear Feather Sect's reply, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, our sect will engrave it in our hearts and have no complaints."
Zhang Yan was secretly surprised. Zhong Tai was afraid that he would only take the gift but not do anything, so he still wanted a reply. He said indifferently, "If that's the case, Elder Bai, please go and rest first. It takes some time for letters to come and go. If I receive a reply, I will naturally send someone to inform you."
Elder Bai's heart was already at ease when he received the promise. He bowed deeply and led the accompanying disciples to wait for news.
Zhang Yan picked up the porcelain jar from the table, wiped off the clay seal, and carefully counted. He discovered that the amount of spiritual herbs sent by Zhong Tai this time was almost equal to the total of the previous few times. It could be seen that Zhong Tai had put in a lot of effort.
He smiled and put away the two items. He took out a golden talisman letter and folded it. After opening it, he took out a brush and dipped it in ink. After muttering to himself for a moment, he wrote a letter in a flash and stamped it with his sect's seal. He stretched out two fingers and made a hand sign. The letter folded into a Talisman and flew up. Finally, it entered a jade scroll beside the table. With a light flick of his finger, it turned into a spiritual light and soared into the sky.
His gaze followed it to the clouds and inadvertently glanced at it. He saw that the east was full of fire and red light filled the sky. It was getting more and more intense. He couldn't help but think, "Looking at this situation, Martial Uncle Shen should have already activated the earth fire. It won't be long before he succeeds."
When Shen Baishuang left, more than half of the disciples in the Deep Abyss Sect also left. However, he also had three disciples here, so he could open the door and teach them.
Especially the Wang sisters, recently under his guidance, they had all broken through the bottleneck in their shells and received the true seal of mana. Even if he didn't show himself, with the help of Zhang Boyan and the others, they would be able to control the situation.
In just a few decades, Mount Shen Wu could recover. At that time, this place could be said to be the territory of his Zhao You lineage.
However, when he returned to the sect in the future, who would take care of this sect?
As he was thinking, a disciple ran in from outside and went to Jing You's side to whisper a few words. Jing You waved his hand and sent him away. He then went up the stairs and said, "Master, Zhenren is back."
Zhang Yan made an 'oh' sound and said with a smile, "Zhang Zhang is back? I think the matter has been settled. Quickly invite him in. "
Last time, five people from the Deep Abyss Sect appeared and used Daoist Nun Wei as bait to lure Yang Xuan Long and two of his martial brothers out. They killed two of them on the spot and the last one escaped with a movement talisman. At that time, Zhang Boyan used the Yellow Springs Escape Technique to chase after them. However, this time, there was no news of him for more than six months.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had made a curse that if he died, Zhang Yan would definitely sense it and would probably think that he was lost outside.
Not long after, footsteps came from outside. Zhang Boyan came in from outside the hall. Zhang Yan looked up and saw three clouds above his head. He was surprised at first, then he stood up and said with a smile, "Zhang Zhang's cultivation has improved again. Congratulations."
Zhang Boyan was slightly emotional and said, "I just had a little bit of luck."
In this battle, he absorbed the essence and blood of three Yuanying cultivators and took advantage of it to enter the second stage of Yuanying.
However, he also knew that if he didn't have a great opportunity, with his lifespan, he could only stop in the Yuanying stage and have no hope of reaching the Heavenly Cave.
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Since Daoist friend has returned to the mountain, you can give Wei Shuling an explanation."
Zhang Boyan was surprised and said, "Why? It has been more than half a year, is that Daoist nun still in the mountain?"
At this time, Jing You couldn't help but complain, "Zhenren doesn't know that this Daoist nun's temper is bad and stubborn. She said that she must wait for Zhenren to bring back the last head before she can return to the mountain with peace of mind. Not only that, she still comes to the mountain every day to ask about it. I really can't stand it."
Zhang Boyan snorted and said, "That person has long been refined by me, including his skin and bones. His head is gone, but I didn't forget to bring back the keepsake that he carries with him."
He took out a Jade Talisman from his sleeve and casually threw it to Jing You. Behind him, he nimbly caught it.
Zhang Yan smiled and said to Jing You, "You also don't have to complain. That Xiao Cang Jing hasn't finished his matter yet, but he already brought the three elixirs here. It can be said that he trusts our Hanyuan School. Then we should also finish what we started."
Jing You hurriedly said, "Master is right."
Zhang Yan said again, "Go and take a jar of the ash from the Green Bright Wood and give it to Daoist friend Wei together with the keepsake. If she wants to thank me in person, just say that I am in seclusion and won't see her."
Jing You hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went to make the arrangements.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Zhang Boyan also wanted to leave, but Zhang Yan called out to him, "Zhang Zhang, this time you have put in a lot of effort running around. After the Sky Demon is refined, there will be a lot of precious materials. You can go to the storehouse and take three jars of Jia Mo."
When Zhang Boyan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
He had long planned to refine a few powerful demons to give to Zhao Yang for self-defense, but he still lacked a lot of precious materials. With the remnants of the Sky Demon, there was no need for other things. He immediately bowed and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Master."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "In a few days, I will need to go into seclusion. I will need Daoist friend to help me look after the school."
Zhang Boyan said loudly, "Don't you dare to not do your best."
After saying a few more words to him, Zhang Yan ordered him to leave. He himself rode a cloud back to the cave residence and walked straight into the pill room. He placed the elixirs sent by Zhong Tai into the medicine furnace. Watching the furnace fire gradually burn, his eyes showed a look of deep thought.
The amount of elixirs sent by Xiao Cang Jing previously was also beyond his expectations. After refining the elixirs, there were more than two hundred of them, almost four times more than before. If he refined the elixirs sent by Zhong Tai this time, there would be more than three hundred of them in total.
According to Zhou Chongju, to achieve Yuanzhen Dharmakaya, a person with a second-grade elixir would be enough to use a hundred Bai Yueying. However, he was a first-grade elixir, so it needed to be calculated in multiples. Now that he had three times the amount, it should be enough.
But now, he was faced with another problem.
To refine these Essence Qi, he could only refine one Bai Yueying a year. In other words, to refine all of them, it would at least take more than three hundred years.
Although he had made a great contribution this time, and the mountain gate might not come to urge him to return, the opportunity would not wait there. If he did not accept it, it would be snatched by others.
He thought in his heart, "This is too slow. Now it seems that I need to use the Nine Numbers Taishi True Scripture to deduce a method of circulation."
