Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 723 Bargaining

"This matter will be discussed later!"

Patriarch Tianxiang waved his sleeves and said, "My fellow Daoists, I still need to return to the Tianxiang Sect to discuss countermeasures with my nephew Tianxuan, so I won't stay any longer... Goodbye!"

After saying that, this God-Transforming Heavenly Lord actually gathered up several Yuanying True Lords of the Tianxiang Sect, broke through the void directly, and disappeared from this place.

The dozen or so God-Transforming Celestial Lords present all left with their own sect's Nascent Soul cultivators, all filled with worry. However, the God-Transforming Supreme [Zhi Can Daoist] of Penglai [Jun Tian Guan] looked towards the [You Fang Xian Palace] floating in mid-air and asked Jing Yu:

"My dear Xuan Jing, is this Immortal Palace artifact of yours for sale?"

The kind-looking old Taoist said slowly, "If you, my friend Xuan Jing, are willing to part with it, I can exchange the Juntian Temple's most precious treasure, the [Zhoutian Xing Orbit-Fixing Instrument], for this immortal palace."

"The [Zhou Tian Xing Zhu Orbit Determiner] is also a mid-grade spiritual weapon, and it's an auxiliary spiritual weapon that's even rarer than offensive spiritual weapons. It's not a loss for you, my friend."

Jing Yu was speechless. "Senior Zhican, you're asking for too much. Cave-type spiritual tools are far more valuable than offensive and auxiliary tools. And your [Zhoutian Xingzhuo Orbit Determining Instrument] is said to only be usable once every hundred years. What use is it to a Nascent Soul cultivator like me?"

However, Taoist Zhican seemed to have known that Jing Yu would not agree to this exchange condition. He seemed to be asking for a high price and then paying it back. He continued:

"Since young friend Xuan Jing thinks my offer is too low, how about I grant you a path to the Divine Transformation Realm?"

Taoist Zhican glanced at Xiao Guanying standing beside him and said calmly, "Juntian Temple can protect you until you reach the state of godhood. No one can interfere."

This old sly fellow...

Jing Yu shook his head and said, "Senior Zhican, this Immortal Residence is the foundation of my life right now. It is really hard to let it go... I am still a long way from becoming a Spiritual Transformation, and I still have a lot of cultivation to hone. There is no rush... Let's talk about it later."

Taoist Zhican smiled and said, "In that case, I will wait for good news at Juntian Temple."

Then he flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, all the cultivators dispersed, and the only ones left were a few celestial cultivators headed by Xiao Guanying and Xiao Shihua, who also sealed the lonely [Youfang Immortal Palace] in place.

"Xiao Guanying, I don't know when the cultivators from the upper realms of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty will descend upon the Immortal Continent. How long do you have time to stay here with me?"

"The spiritual energy within my immortal residence is as rich as any other spiritual transformation center in the world today. There is food, drink, and spiritual medicine... It has everything you need for alchemy, weapon refining, and cultivation. Many fellow Taoists live with me in this immortal residence, discussing the Dao and learning from each other."

"If you want to waste time, I'll keep you company."

Xiao Guanying remained silent for a long time, not uttering a single word. The four ministers beside him, namely [Golden Armor], [Silver Armor], [Imperial Envoy] and [Astronomer], sensed that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to breathe. They just stood aside, trembling with fear and not daring to speak, for fear of offending the Lord Emperor of Heaven.

Wenren Nuo huddled behind Xiao Shihua, also keeping his head down and saying nothing, but he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart:

"Haha, I thought our cheap master was going to be locked up and beaten, and that it would be very dangerous. I didn't expect such a reversal. Now I can hold my head high..."

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Guanying finally lifted the blockade and said, gathering his sleeves, "Xuan Jing, during this time of great calamity in the Immortal Continent, the world is bound to undergo drastic changes. You are gifted and one of the most talented people in Penglai and even the entire Immortal Continent. If you can submit to the Heavenly Court and swear a great oath against your inner demon, I will still grant you a path to divine transformation... I hope you will take good care of yourself."

After saying this, he flew away from here on his golden chariot.

Xiao Shihua, dressed in a dark yellow Taoist robe, sighed and bowed in the direction of the Immortal Mansion. "The cultivators from the upper realms are no small matter when they descend upon the lower realms. They can easily bring about an endless killing calamity. Only by integrating the forces of the world can we have a chance of victory. I hope Xuan Jing will stop opposing the Heavenly Court, causing our Immortal Continent's power to be wasted in vain... Farewell."

Then he grabbed Wenren Nuo's shoulders and disappeared into the void.

Jing Yu looked in the direction where the Heavenly Court cultivators left from the Immortal Residence, thinking to himself, "Why do I feel like Xiao Guanying and Xiao Shihua are becoming less and less like the same person..."

"Xuan Jing, it's time to go back."

Ye Xingyun smiled and said, "I haven't been home for several years... My grandfather is nearing the end of his life, only about fifty or sixty years left. It's time to plan his path to becoming a god."

Jing Yu asked curiously, "Oh? Master Jiang Huai is preparing to become a god? Are you sure?"

Ye Xingyun pondered, "I don't plan to let Grandpa achieve Divine Transformation in this world... Although the path to Divine Transformation in this world is vast, it is obviously more difficult to refine the complete laws. Grandpa's foundation and comprehension are not outstanding. He is only a Five-Aperture Nascent Soul. Even if he can achieve Divine Transformation at will in this world, the probability of him succeeding is extremely low."

"what do you mean?"

Ye Xingyun said, "In my early years, I found a large cave... I plan to have Grandpa attempt to achieve Divination in that cave... Although refining the incomplete and partial laws within the cave can only achieve pseudo-Divination, the lifespan will be the same, and it will be simpler and more reliable."

Jing Yu nodded slightly: "If you don't want to ascend to heaven, being able to extend your life by three thousand years is also a good thing."

After saying that, he turned and looked at Song Qingya again: "What are your plans?"

Song Qingya glanced at Lu Yingzhao and said hesitantly, "I've fought in Weiyang Heaven before, and many Yuanying Zhenjun have seen through my background... I'm afraid the Yigui Sect will come looking for trouble with me."

"If Xuan Jing doesn't mind, I'd like to stay in Youfang Immortal Mansion temporarily and practice for a while, until I reach the late Nascent Soul stage."

"That's fine. This fairy palace is very large, and you don't need a place to sleep." Jing Yu agreed.

"Before that, I have to go back to the Song family in Xingluohai." Song Qingya added, "Grandma Jinghong should be nearing the completion of her Golden Core... She's older than you, over six hundred years old now. If she fails to form a fetus, she'll die in a hundred or so years."

"I'm going to find a way to help her conceive."

Jing Yu frowned and said, "Jinghong is only a mid-grade golden elixir after all, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to form an infant."

"I have to give it a try... After all, I was once a prodigy in the Ghost Dao, and Jinghong happens to be practicing Ghost Dao techniques. I am at least confident that I can let her form a false infant and won't die from the elixir."

Jing Yu's mind moved, and he flipped his hand and took out a golden lotus seed:

"This [Scented Golden Lotus Seed] has the miraculous effect of helping false infant cultivators awaken their minds later in life... It has a 30-40% chance of success. I obtained several of them in my early years, and now I have one left. Please give it to Jinghong for me."

"If she only formed a false baby, at least there is still hope."
