Chapter 345 Not afraid of embarrassment, Spirit Root the truth
The hundreds of Nascent Soul at the bottom all looked at the unfolded map, looking at the colored Tai Province and Liang Province with some surprise in their eyes.
Zheng Fa can understand this surprise - it's not that his contribution is not great, but that Venerable Tongming has given in too much.
Hundred Immortals Alliance Seven states and twenty-three counties are not just the territory, but the Spirit Ore Spirit Plant that Hundred Immortals Alliance has relied on for so many years.
Venerable Tongming gave up four states at once, which was really a big loss:
If he had defeated Great Freedom Demon Cult with four states before, he might have become a close friend of the Demon Cult and even competed with Netherworld Immortal.
Now it is not easy for Venerable Chengkong to use it to smash the two states of the Nine Mountains Sect. Not to mention Liang Province, Nine Mountains Sect was originally in Tai Province - Taiyang Commandery, where Secret Realm was before, was also in Tai Province.
Even Nine Mountains Sect originally did not occupy the entire Tai Province.
Now Zheng Fa just nodded, and Nine Mountains Sect directly expanded the territory, and the territory was twice as big as before!
What's more, Tai Province is not only the hometown of the Nine Mountains Sect and is of great significance to the Nine Mountains Sect, it is also very valuable - Taiyang Commandery Spirit Cave was born, but there is also a Spirit Stone mine!
Venerable Chengkong looked at Zheng Fa with a smile, and it was obvious that he had really put a lot of thought into it.
Xie Qingxue stood aside like a theatergoer. She didn't have much territory. Originally, Great Freedom Devil Ancestor's resurrection was not a matter for Supreme Dao's family.
Her eyes moved around the other people's faces.
The expressions of the two Spirit Transformations were a bit ugly. After all, the more Nine Mountains Sect took, the less they took, but they did not dare to speak - not to mention that Venerable Chengkong was not something they could question. Zheng Fa's current strength was enough to shut them up.
The expressions on the faces of those Nascent Soul are mostly envious, but as for the expressions on their faces - they are not fools.
She also specifically looked at a few Nascent Soul of the Nine Mountains Sect. Old Yuan and the others were a little excited. She knew that by taking down Tai-Liang Prefectures, they not only regained the sect's old land, but also gained a lot of territory and resources.
Others looked at Zheng Fa with envy or jealousy, but instead of smiling, Zheng Fa frowned and thought.
It seems like he really doesn't want to work hard!
"Zheng Fa?"
Zheng Fa asked first, "What about the Demonic Sect Secret Realm?"
He remembers that Taiyang Commandery not only has a Spirit Stone mine, but also a Demonic Sect Secret Realm.
"Missing."
Venerable Chengkong immediately asked what he was worried about and explained, "Tongming went to inquire about it, and there is no Secret Realm exit in that place."
Zheng Fa suddenly remembered the original Azure Cloud Great Sage.
Azure Cloud Great Sage once said that the price Great Freedom Devil Ancestor paid for letting them take action was to give away their own Secret Realm.
So, now Secret Realm has been taken over by Demon Race?
Did you even run away with it?
From this point of view, Venerable Chengkong probably did not deliberately try to trick him.
But the question is - does Nine Mountains Sect need such a piece of land now?
In terms of population, there are quite a few Nine Mountains Realm.
To be honest, the effect of Tai-Liang Prefectures on the Nine Mountains Sect is far less than what others think.
Venerable Chengkong is still a little confused. "Zheng Fa, I know you have Nine Mountains Realm, but this kind of Grotto-Heaven World, after all, has only a single spiritual material and poor material resources."
He felt that he was quite sincere.
Supreme Dao is not without Grotto-Heaven World. Grotto-Heaven World is safe, but the resources are single and far from enough to support the cultivation of sect disciples.
Otherwise, why do they Supreme Dao care about Xuanwei? They can just live their lives behind closed doors.
Who knew Zheng Fa was so cold?
Even Nine Mountains Sect and Nascent Soul seemed to have sobered up a lot at once, and the joy on their faces had also subsided, and they all had a weighing look on their faces...
This expression makes other people feel extremely uncomfortable:
Seeing that Nine Mountains Sect was given such a large territory, they were already uncomfortable, but they could only hold it in.
But none of these Nine Mountains Sect people look down on these two states, which makes people even more uncomfortable!
I can hardly hold it in any longer!
Nine Mountains Realm is so rich?
Of course, Nine Mountains Realm also has the shortcomings of Grotto-Heaven World - the industry is dominated by lightning spiritual materials.
But the problem is, Zheng Fa has a solution to this shortcoming.
With the exploration of the essence of spiritual materials and the improvement of Spirit Element Five-Element Cycle, artificial synthesis of spiritual materials will soon be put on the agenda.
In other words, the spiritual material problem that troubles other Grotto-Heaven World, and even Five Sects of Xuanwei like Supreme Dao, is not a big problem for the Nine Mountains Realm. As for the cost of synthetic spiritual materials and natural spiritual materials, it is another topic.
Venerable Chengkong also expressed confusion:
He didn't ask for Zheng Fa to be grateful, but he never expected that there would be times when he couldn't give away the land.
In the silence of everyone, Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, seemingly asking for her opinion.
Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand what he wanted to say, he didn't say anything and just nodded lightly.
Zheng Fa looked down at Old Yuan again, and Old Yuan smiled at him.
"I Nine Mountains Sect don't want the land in these two states."
"No?" Venerable Chengkong has lived for more than ten thousand years. He has seen a lot of people and heard a lot of things. He couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment, "Then Secret Realm is really gone."
Zheng Fa shook his head.
He gave up the land of two states for one reason - Netherworld Immortal is not dead!
Venerable Chengkong I don't know if Zheng Fa is completely relieved.
But he didn't.
With Netherworld Immortal's strength, with Netherworld Immortal's hatred for himself...
They are naturally not afraid of anything while hiding in the Nine Mountains Realm.
But it's different if it accounts for Tai-Liang Prefectures.
Even though Zheng Fa does not have to leave Nine Mountains Realm, if you want to manage the two states and collect resources, you will naturally have to send people out - this is a flaw.
The simplest thing is, if Netherworld Immortal captures Nine Mountains Sect's disciple, should Zheng Fa save him or not?
If no one goes out, then these two states are even more meaningless.
If there was no way to synthesize spiritual materials, he would not be so decisive, but now it is another matter.
"You are too... cautious." Venerable Chengkong looked very embarrassed, and his smile was a little bitter, "You really don't want to?"
"No."
Xie Qingxue glanced at Zheng Fa, then turned his eyes around the Nine Mountains Sect and Nascent Soul, his expression inexplicably moved.
"You have made great contributions to the annihilation of Great Freedom Demon Cult..." Venerable Chengkong said, "I originally thought that these two states would be enough to reward you, but you... then what do you want Nine Mountains Sect?"
Nascent Soul below looked at each other.
Xie Qingxue couldn't help but look a little distorted at this moment.
These two are reversed!
One insists on giving it, and the other insists on not wanting it.
She could read the cry on Nascent Soul's expression - If he doesn't want it, give it to me!
But when she thought about Supreme Dao's style of recruiting disciples everywhere, she understood what Venerable Chengkong was thinking.
Rewarding for merit is false, while coaxing is true.
Do you really think Venerable Tongming is so generous?
Netherworld Immortal celebrated his victory even though he was not dead, and he was afraid that he was also anxious to win over Zheng Fa.
After all, I made this dumpling just for the Nine Mountains Sect's vinegar.
Xie Qingxue thought about it for a moment, and in the legend of Supreme Dao's recruitment of disciples that she had heard, such a feat was considered extremely large.
She has never even heard of the second person.
Unexpectedly...Zheng Fa was not moved at all!
Zheng Fa was stunned, looking at Venerable Chengkong's sincere eyes, he was speechless for a moment.
But Venerable Chengkong's expression suddenly changed. She didn't look at him, but looked at Senior Sister Zhang beside him.
Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at Senior Sister Zhang, only to see Senior Sister Zhang staring at Pure Tranquility Bamboo on Venerable Tongming Auspicious Cloud, his eyes motionless.
He almost blurted out one sentence: Want Pure Tranquility Bamboo... Who wants Pure Tranquility Bamboo? What do you want Pure Tranquility Bamboo!
But, Zheng Fa really wants to...
They had also studied the dead branches in the past few days, but they couldn't see anything. They turned out to be ordinary bamboo leaves.
Senior Sister Zhang... I understand him too well!
"..."
Venerable Chengkong twitched his mouth and stared at Senior Sister Zhang for a long time, but Senior Sister Zhang remained calm and unblinking.
Although I won't talk about the main one, you should understand it.
In the end, Venerable Chengkong was the loser. He thought for a while and actually handed Pure Tranquility Bamboo to Zheng Fa.
"This thing... I can only lend it to you, you have to pay it back!"
Zheng Fa opened his eyes slightly, why is this person so stingy!
"Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root is precious. Even if this Pure Tranquility Bamboo is about to die now, it cannot be given to outsiders without authorization. Even the sect will definitely try to save it... Before my uncle comes, you need to return it to me."
Listening to these words, Zheng Fa understood in his heart. It can be seen from Wuzhi's words that what Buddha Ancestor Dao Fruit is about, it is far beyond what ordinary Law Treasure can compare to.
Supreme Dao attaches great importance to it, and even Cheng Kong only dares to lend it out.
He nodded, took one end of Pure Tranquility Bamboo, and gently twitched it, but it didn't twitch.
"Master?"
"You have to pay me back..."
It can be seen that Venerable Chengkong is much more unwilling to give up the territory of the two states just now.
Of course, it may also be because the territory in those two states is not his, Pure Tranquility Bamboo is his...
"Definitely!"
"Tell me what you want Pure Tranquility Bamboo to do!"
"Just cut two slices... and look!"
"... Don't kill me!"
With great difficulty, Zheng Fa was able to hold Pure Tranquility Bamboo in his hands.
Venerable Chengkong sighed, and suddenly confirmed. "Do you really just want to borrow this thing?"
Zheng Fa nodded affirmatively.
"I don't know what you think..." Even Venerable Chengkong's face was a little confused, let alone the other Spirit Transformation and Nascent Soul.
Yes, Pure Tranquility Bamboo is extremely precious, and Supreme Dao also values it very much - but what is the use of Zheng Fa?
Does he still dare not to pay it back?
Thunderclap Temple dares to snatch it, but Nine Mountains Sect has no such ability!
In the eyes of these people, Zheng Fa gave up the resources of Tai-Liang Prefectures and just borrowed Pure Tranquility Bamboo...
It's like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon.
Zheng Fa didn't care what others thought. He just waited until the celebration banquet was over and took Senior Sister Zhang out of the hall and walked slowly towards the small courtyard where Nine Mountains Sect temporarily lived.
He kept wanting to speak, but he didn't speak all the way. It wasn't until he reached the gate of the courtyard that he asked:
"Senior Sister Zhang, why did you..."
The scene just now was far from Senior Sister Zhang's style - it wasn't like he didn't understand how arrogant Senior Sister Zhang was.
To put it simply, she would rather rob than use such a shameless gesture to obtain some treasure.
It would be even harder to get Senior Sister Zhang to do what she did today than to kill her.
Moreover, getting Pure Tranquility Bamboo is actually not important to Senior Sister Zhang, but it is important to Zheng Fa. It is very important.
"You are Nine Mountains Sect Leader. It is not easy to ask for help, and you cannot be embarrassed. If you are rejected by Venerable Chengkong, it will hurt your harmony."
"..."
"I'm not Sect Leader, I'm not afraid of embarrassment."
"Sister?"
Senior Sister Zhang stopped at the door of his house, stopped in his tracks, and suddenly said, "Didn't you give me your face before?"
Zheng Fa was startled and realized that what Senior Sister Zhang was talking about was the scene where they jointly accepted the toast from everyone.
"That's enough."
Xie Qingxue also returned to her small courtyard. She thought about it and found Yan Wushuang.
"You and Zheng Fa have a good relationship?"
"Of course!"
Yan Wushuang As soon as he heard this, he puffed up his majestic chest.
"Then you should go shopping at the Nine Mountains Sect more these days."
"Sister?"
Yan Wushuang was a little puzzled. He had been wanting to go play with Zheng Fa a few days ago, but his senior sister did not allow it:
The main reason is that he eats the inside and outside too obviously...
"Nine Mountains Sect Zheng Fa is a person worth getting to know."
"Ha, he is the big hero this time! Senior sister, you think he is extraordinary too!" Yan Wushuang said with bright eyes, "I know I can recognize heroes with my sharp eyes!"
Xie Qingxue nodded.
To be fair, there is this reason - Zheng Fa's performance in Chen Commandery is extremely extraordinary. If you consider that he is just a monk of Golden Core, it is even more terrifying.
At least she knew that Founder... should not have been able to do this back then.
This is why Venerable Chengkong went to great lengths to win over Zheng Fa.
Xie Qingxue is a little doubtful. If he borrows Pure Tranquility Bamboo himself, he may not be able to borrow it.
But Zheng Fa will do.
But the reason why I want my junior brother to go to the Nine Mountains Realm is actually because of another thing. "Of course I value his extraordinary strength and talent that is rare in the world, but he is much more than that."
"Huh?"
"When Zheng Fa said today that he wanted to give up the land of the two states, no one from the Nine Mountains Sect or Nascent Soul showed any disapproval..." Xie Qingxue's eyes were a little dazed, and she said softly,
"The resources of the two states are wealth that Nine Mountains Sect has never had before."
"Just because of Zheng Fa's words, they gave up when they said they would give up..."
Yan Wushuang didn't expect that Senior Sister would value this the most, but... is this more important than Zheng Fa's talent and strength?
"You don't understand, geniuses are common. Such people are extremely rare in the Xuanwei Realm. I believe he didn't seduce you and cheat you."
"Really?" Yan Wushuang showed an overjoyed expression.
Xie Qingxue shook his head and said in a disgusted tone, "It's just that you are stupid..."
She looked at her junior brother and said, "You should learn more when you go, how Zheng Fa twisted the sect into a rope."
"Learn from this. Stop cheating on these people's loyalty to the sect."
Yan Wushuang scratched his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly said:
"Senior sister, shouldn't my father learn this?"
"..."
"I learned it and went back... Then dad's Sect Leader position is mine, right?"
Nine Mountains Realm University Island In the laboratory, everyone gathered together and looked at the two biggest gains from this battle:
Pure Tranquility Bamboo, and Blood-Baleful Flag.
Oh, it should be said that there are three major harvests - the third major harvest, Blood River Ancestor, is standing next to Zheng Dharma Body, looking at Pure Tranquility Bamboo and Blood-Baleful Flag with eager eyes, as if he is not in the same group with the two.
"How to deal with this Blood-Baleful Flag?" Old Yuan asked with a frown.
When Blood-Baleful Flag arrived at the Nine Mountains Realm, it was suppressed by the rules of the Nine Mountains Realm. Now it doesn't show any magic, but after all, this thing is related to Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, and everyone is a little afraid of it.
"Destroyed?"
Aunt-Master Huang suggested.
Zheng Fa looked at Blood River Ancestor, Blood River Ancestor shook his head and said:
"Blood-Baleful Flag is extremely powerful. Except for Pure Tranquility Bamboo, it is difficult to destroy..."
Having said this, he still felt a little distressed. "This is also a rare treasure of my Holy Church. What's more, this thing will not harm Tianhe..."
Not harming Tianhe?
By the way, what Zheng Fa grabbed happened to be the same pole that Netherworld Immortal practiced with Yin-Yang Rakshasa. It did not hurt Tianhe, only Yin-Yang Rakshasa was injured...
Maybe there is even Merit.
Blood River Ancestor said this, Zheng Fa and Blood-Baleful Flag are quite pleasing to the eye.
He thought for a while, then ignored Blood-Baleful Flag, and then looked at Pure Tranquility Bamboo aside.
"Cut a little?"
After being silent for a long time, Zheng Fa finally spoke.
Netherworld Immortal is not dead, and now he is missing. There are still four Blood-Baleful Flag in his hands.
Zheng Fa naturally didn't dare to chase him, he just ran fast.
Xie Qingxue didn't take action at that time, which left a huge hidden danger.
Even Netherworld Immortal doesn't know whether he hates Zheng Fa more or Xie Qingxue...
Venerable Chengkong seems to have pinned his hopes on his uncle, or has other plans and confidence.
After all, Netherworld Immortal is the daughter of Supreme Dao. Zheng Fa also doesn't know the entanglement between them and their understanding of each other.
But he doesn't like to put his hopes on others - studying Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root to see if he can cultivate Fusang Wood is the most likely way he can think of to enhance Nine Mountains Realm's defense capabilities.
Therefore, he valued Pure Tranquility Bamboo far more than other gains.
Others don't understand Zheng Fa's desire for Pure Tranquility Bamboo, but Senior Sister Zhang understands...
Even too understanding.
"... Cut it, will Venerable Chengkong cause trouble for us?"
Uncle-Master Pang is a little hesitant.
To do research on Pure Tranquility Bamboo, it is natural to slice it.
But looking at Venerable Chengkong's expression, Pure Tranquility Bamboo might explode if something happens.
"It should be fine if you can't die." Zheng Fa thought for a while, it's not like he didn't say he wanted to cut this thing, "Cut it!"
After a few sticks of incense, Zheng Fa looked at the slices of Pure Tranquility Bamboo inside Microscopic Formation, with a confused expression and some annoyance, as if he had discovered something very simple but had never expected it, and murmured:
"That's it, that's it..."
Senior Sister Zhang and others beside him also looked at the Spirit Root cell image in Microscopic Formation, their faces were blank, and they obviously couldn't see why.
But Zheng Fa's face was full of smiles.
He gave up the resources of the two states and only borrowed Pure Tranquility Bamboo to take a look. It was not like he had not seen the confusion of others.
But now, with just one glance, he knew it was worth it!
"You mean, Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root... is a creature with the cell structure of Spiritual Qi as its nucleus?"
Among the Hyundai Nursing Home, Professor Tian also showed the same expression.
"Yes... since Wood-Element Spell can be equated to the DNA Double Strand structure, then if the Spiritual Qi structure has the corresponding Spiritual Qi Talisman Diagram, it can naturally replace the role of the cell nucleus."
"This is probably the truth behind the so-called Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root..."
