Chapter 218 Experts help
The Dai family did not dare to neglect. After hearing the other party's name, they politely invited him to the family's main hall as a guest.
These two middle-aged Taoists, who call themselves Shan Yangzi and Cheng Longzi, are each wearing a white Taoist robe and a gray Taoist robe. They are both Jindan monks and have received favors from the Dai family. This time coincides with the Dai family's crisis. , was invited to come and help out.
"Haha, the two Taoist brothers are finally here, let us wait for a while!"
Laughter could be heard outside the house, and the three golden elixir-stage ancestors of the Dai family came out of seclusion to greet the two distinguished guests.
The elders of the Dai family in the main hall stood up and saluted the three ancestors one after another. However, the other party did not pay attention to this. Instead, they talked about the family's shortcomings with the two Taoists.
"Brother Taoist, the last time we said goodbye, a month has passed. I didn't expect you to still look like this, while we have gray hair and old teeth."
"Brother Dai, what are you talking about? You are obviously still very strong. I think you still have a hundred years to live, and there is still hope for further progress."
"As I get older, I lament the past like aged spirits. I have already poured out the word "years". In my twilight years, I have lost all my ambitions and just want to stick to my family's legacy."
"Brother Dai, don't worry. The two of us are here to help you solve your problems."
"Oh? Please elaborate."
The three golden elixir masters of the Dai family leaned forward slightly, looking forward to what surprises these two Taoists would bring.
You must know that the Lujiang League's invasion this time was so powerful that it shocked thousands of miles. The entire western part of the Lu Kingdom was alarmed. Every force in the country was watching this battle day and night. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is paying attention.
The sects and aristocratic families that the Dai family usually had good relations with saw that their opponents were too powerful, and they all refused to come to support them. In the end, it was the Dai family that paid a huge price to invite these two golden elixir stage casual cultivators. .
Otherwise, the three real men of the Dai family would be really difficult to take care of, and they would not be able to withstand the crushing power of the Lujiang Alliance's high-level combat power. After all, according to past experience in the cultivation world, the ratio of high-level monks on both sides of the offense and defense must be 3:1 to achieve balance. Although it is not absolute, it is very useful for reference.
As for escaping without a fight, everyone in the Dai family knows that this is impossible.
Once the ancestral home is abandoned, the old nest that has been run for many years is gone, and the protection of the formation is lost. If you go out, you will only be surrounded and suppressed, and you will have no power to resist.
It is very likely that the forces that were originally waiting and watching will also add insult to injury. At that time, not only the Lujiang League, but also the entire western Lu State may want to step on them in an attempt to get a piece of the pie.
Even if some people escape, they have lost all their mineral resources and can only rely on their family wealth to make a comeback.
There is now a nest run by a thousand-year-old family, and they can stick to it for a few years. Maybe they can wait until the ancestors of Lu State's Nascent Soul stage return, then offer heavy gifts and apply for mediation, and there is still hope to survive the disaster.
Therefore, the Dai family is ready to fight to the death. Of course, some secret doors are also necessary. If there is no way to save the situation at the last moment, there are naturally arrangements to retain the fire. However, it is not suitable for the current enemy to publicize in the clan.
Shan Yangzi and Cheng Longzi were both idlers in the mountains, traveling around the world, and once had close friendships with the Dai family's Jindan masters. Coming here to help out this time was a timely help. After all, these two were in the middle stage of Jindan.
If a casual cultivator wants to break through the Golden Core stage, the difficulty is simply not on the same level as breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage. From Lin Shan, you can see how difficult it is. The required heaven and earth spiritual objects are very rare, and the cultivation resources are a huge expense.
What's more, there are also body training methods and golden elixir stage skills, which require great opportunities to obtain.
Not to mention the magic weapon after breaking through the golden elixir stage. If you are backed by a sect family, the elders can also pass down an heirloom. Apart from trying your luck everywhere, where can you find such a treasure?
As for the natal magic weapon, there is no need to think too much. Even Jindan Zhenren from a wealthy family like the Dai family would lose everything and be in debt to refine a natal magic weapon, let alone them?
Therefore, those who can cultivate to the golden elixir stage and make a name for themselves in the world of cultivation are unique in talent, talent, and luck, and are worthy of the efforts of all major forces to win over them.
Now that the two Taoists have come from afar, the number of real people in the Golden Core stage of the Dai family has reached five, and they finally have the qualifications to barely resist the Lujiang Alliance.
In the lobby at this moment, Shan Yangzi was wearing a white Taoist robe. He took out a three-foot-long square stone slab and saw that the talismans and seals were connected and alternated with holes, which looked like a formation.
Cheng Longzi was wearing a gray Taoist robe and took out a sparkling silver mirror. The surface of the mirror was extremely hot, the light inside the mirror was flowing, and a colorful ribbon was looming.
"This is."
The three golden elixir masters of the Dai family looked around and could not see the mystery of the two objects for a while. A group of Dai family elders around them did not dare to come forward and could only stand on tiptoes and stare at their necks.
The two Taoists looked at each other and smiled, showing humility to each other.
"Brother Dao, please speak first."
"Hey, you should come first."
After some concessions, I saw that the Dai family members next to me were all anxious and anxious, so I had no choice but to stop pretending.
Shan Yangzi held this square stone slab and explained its origin and function to everyone.
"This is the formation diagram of the Chongyang Heavenly Pillar Formation. Thirty years ago when Pindao was traveling in the northern part of Lu, he found a young Chongming bird. During the chase, he followed it all the way to the bird's nest, where he found this stone slab."
Seeing everyone listening to his explanation attentively, a smile flashed across Shan Yangzi's eyes:
"Since getting this stone slab, Pindao spent more than ten years before he finally cracked the formation diagram above and obtained the corresponding formation method."
"The Chongyang Heavenly Pillar Formation, as the name suggests, requires refining five heavenly pillars that gather the true fire of the great sun in advance, and then sit down according to the direction of the array diagram, with five people from the main array sitting in charge, and together they can stimulate two rounds of scorching sun."
"At that time, the two suns will rise together, one behind the other, which is the meaning of the Double Ninth Festival. Wherever the light shines, magic power will flow away, flesh and blood will melt, and all tangible things will turn into ashes."
"If there are five monks in the foundation-building stage in the main formation, they can fight against the Golden Core. If there are five monks in the Golden Core stage in the main formation."
Shanyangzi spoke in a long tone and deliberately slowed down the pace. Seeing the breathing of everyone around him was faintly rapid, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"Can kill the golden elixir!"
"Hiss~~"
The sound of gasping echoed in the main hall, and everyone was frightened by this statement.
The formation diagram that can kill the golden elixir stage is an incredible treasure!
The three golden elixir masters of the Dai family laughed quickly: "With Taoist friend Shan Yangzi's formation here, I have nothing to worry about!"
Of course they are happy. This method of arranging the array is thought to be extremely precious. Shan Yangzi is helping out and must make the arrangement method public. Isn't that equivalent to the Dai family picking up an array for nothing?
However, as an expert in casual cultivating, Shan Yangzi was naturally not the one who suffered the loss. Since he generously wanted to donate the formation map, he naturally had other purposes.
"I can contribute the method of arranging the Chongyang Heavenly Pillar Array, but these five fire pillars that condense the true fire of the sun require the nobles to provide materials to refine them."
The three golden elixir ancestors of the Dai family repeatedly agreed: "That's natural!"
Shan Yangzi continued: "After this battle, these five pillars of fire belong to me. As the price of exchanging the formation diagram, what do the three Taoist friends think?"
"This"
The three ancestors looked at each other, communicated secretly for a moment, and then agreed.
"Brother Benyi Dao."
Now that the Dai family has reached a critical moment of life and death, they naturally have no time to worry about these posthumous matters. They need to overcome the difficulties first.
Moreover, even if these five fire pillars are given away afterwards, the Dai family already has the formation diagram and the refining method, so can they just refining five more pillars themselves?
Shan Yangzi is a casual cultivator, and he is a "poor person" all day long. Maybe he is really poor, and it is understandable that he lacks money and materials and cannot refine it, but what is the Dai family? It's a giant family!
I'm sending you three melons and two dates?
But when they received the list of materials, none of them could laugh anymore. Looking at the dense and numerous lists of materials in the jade slips, my head swelled, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
Is this the formation diagram that can kill the golden elixir? Such a waste of money!
Not to mention the various auxiliary spiritual materials, more than a dozen fourth-level spiritual materials are needed, which are the main materials for refining magic weapons! There isn't much in the entire Dai family's inventory!
However, if you grit your teeth and break your muscles, you can still manage to refine five fire pillars, but if you give them away, you may not be able to make five more fire pillars.
The three of them hesitated slightly and looked at Shan Yangzi on the side. They found that the Taoist priest in white robes had a calm face and just looked at them quietly, so they had to communicate in secret again.
Finally, he agreed to the deal and swore a Taoist oath.
Shan Yangzi smiled and presented the arrangement method of the Chongyang Tianzhu Array.
The three golden elixir masters of the Dai family nodded, summoned an elder of the Dai family, and ordered him to quickly go to the warehouse to allocate resources and successfully refine the five fire pillars as soon as possible. They also ordered another clan elder to set up the formation base.
Next, Shan Yangzi's introduction was finished, and it was Cheng Longzi's turn.
Cheng Longzi was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a square face and a serious look on his face as he explained the precious mirror in his hand.
"This mirror is called the Aurora Mirror. I got it in the forbidden area on the cliffs of the Swallowing Star Mountains during my Qi training period."
"The Forbidden Land on the Cliff!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison. Basically everyone in the Lu Kingdom knew that the Swallowing Star Mountains were the residence of monsters and beasts, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Every hundred years, there would be waves of beasts, large and small, coming down the mountain to cause trouble. The level of danger was extremely high. Look down upon.
What's more, it is the legendary forbidden land on the cliff. It is said that one hundred thousand years ago, evil spirits from outside the world invaded this world. The great powers of this world gathered to fight, and the sky collapsed and the earth was shattered. The sun and the moon were dim, and the ruins of the forbidden land left behind were incalculable. The aftermath trap.
In the past 100,000 years, there have been bold and adventurous monks who have gone to hunt for treasures, but most of them have gone missing. They either died in the belly of monsters or were trapped in forbidden places where their lives were uncertain.
There were also a few lucky people who came out of it and got great opportunities, and eventually became a legend, widely circulated in Yi Zhi Wei stories, and were talked about by the lower-level monks as after-tea talk.
Cheng Longzi was just a Qi-training monk at the time, but he was able to enter the forbidden area, find the treasure, and bring it out safe and sound. This was incredible.
"Haha, Pindao's newborn calves were not afraid of tigers at that time, and it was also due to luck. He just wandered around the Aurora Sea on the edge of the forbidden area, got this precious mirror and left in a hurry"
Cheng Longzi explained this, but no one here believed that a casual cultivator who could practice to the golden elixir stage must have had a great opportunity. How many great opportunities can there be in life? Once is enough.
Maybe when he got this precious mirror, he might also have other rare treasures.
Cheng Longzi couldn't talk more, so he just started to introduce the magic of this treasure.
"The mirror is a storage instrument. It has no other functions. It is only used to store the aurora of stars in it."
"Starry Aurora?"
The three golden elixir masters of the Dai family frowned slightly. They seemed to have some vague impression, but they couldn't remember it. The elders of the Dai family next to them looked even more confused and didn't know what was going on.
Cheng Longzi continued to introduce: "The starry aurora is a wonder of heaven and earth formed by the power of stars projected down, tempered by the strong wind above the nine heavens, and then pulled by the mother of earth's magnetism."
"In the aurora sea in the forbidden area of the cliff, there are occasional aurora stars. Once a living being is accidentally blown by it, it will directly turn into nothingness without a trace, and will disappear between heaven and earth, even in the golden elixir stage. ! ”
"There are originally three auroras in my mirror. I have used it twice to protect my path in the past. This is the last one."
Everyone looked solemn after hearing this, looking at the blue-green ribbon in the mirror, twisting and turning like a little snake. Who would have thought that this was a powerful weapon that could kill a Golden Core monk instantly!
"Brother Dao, you are really willing to use such a precious weapon."
The three golden elixir masters of the Dai family, including the clan elders behind them, all looked hesitant. If it were them, they would probably keep it for their own defense and would not be willing to use it on others.
Cheng Longzi smiled faintly, and did not pretend to be pretentious, but put forward his conditions frankly:
"This item is indeed precious, but it is a one-time item after all and is not a long-term solution, so I plan to make a deal with the Dai family."
"Brother Taoist, please speak."
"I want to observe the Dai family's small magical powers. I wonder if you can accommodate me?"
The whole place was silent, but in fact there was an undercurrent.
Channels of spiritual consciousness were flying around in the air, transmitting messages to each other. The Dai family communicated frequently, and were discussing whether to lend the Zhen clan’s magical powers to outsiders for practice.
After a moment of discussion, an agreement was reached.
"The technique of flowing gold and stone in our clan is engraved on the inherited jade slips. This jade slip needs to be maintained every ten years, and each time it needs to be warmed and maintained for another ten years. Therefore, if Brother Dao wants to understand it to the point of condensing the mark of magical power, , you will have to stay in the Dai family for at least half a century.”
"It doesn't matter."
Cheng Longzi would rather spend some time waiting in order to learn minor magical powers. After all, this is related to another opportunity for him. Of course, this is not enough for outsiders.
The three golden elixir masters of the Dai family expressed their agreement to the transaction. Normally they might not be so hasty, but in extraordinary times they should do extraordinary things, and they have no choice but to obey the authority in a hurry.
After Shan Yangzi and Cheng Longzi received the promise, they both nodded with satisfaction and said that they would try their best to help the Dai family tide over the difficulties. Of course, it is one thing to offer treasures, but it is another thing to personally help the Dai family to resist the Lujiang Alliance. The price is natural It’s also calculated separately.
Both sides know this and understand it tacitly.
……
While the Dai family was making preparations intensively, the Lujiang League's entire army was already attacking with great momentum.
One after another, high-rise ships were flying in the low altitude, carrying people from various factions in the alliance, with high morale and murderous intent. The flags on the ship were fluttering in the wind. Among the colorful colors, the one under the shark's flag looked a little shabby.
The Lin Chamber of Commerce only has nearly a hundred Qi-training monks, and they were cobbled together by Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord. If these three waves of people were to fight, none of them would be able to fight.
The fifty or sixty clerks in the Lin Chamber of Commerce are all salesmen in the cultivation world; the more than twenty children of the Mu family are also third-rate weaklings; as for the remaining ten or so East China Sea Demonic Dao disciples, although they participate He has gone through battles between good and evil, but he has always been on the run and has always been a master of the situation.
But if you really want to say that there is no talent, then it doesn't matter. Lin Shan still has talents.
For example, Mu Yan of the Mu family is said to be able to fight across levels in every realm without exception; another example is the newly recruited academic master of the Lin Chamber of Commerce, Wu Hanqiao, who was born in Jingyang Academy, and once represented the academy in the Lu Kingdom Cultivation Circle Dabi, won the title of Top 100, and was hired in the same class as Xiongshanren.
It's just that they are still too young and have not grown up yet, so they are of little use for the time being. The most they can do this time is to bring them to make up the numbers and see the world, and even secretly pay attention not to let such talents die young.
There is also the Mermaid Flag of the Lin Chamber of Commerce. When they were trying to open the seafood market, they specifically advertised it based on the appearance of the Mermaid girl. Now that it is placed here, it seems a bit inconsistent.
"When I have time in the future, I have to change this flag and embroider it with a Kun. It will be majestic"
Lin Shan thought to himself.
While rushing along the way with great fanfare and momentum, countless eyes of the forces in the cultivation world were following secretly, all witnessing and watching this vigorous crusade.
Seven days later, the Dai family land in Ludong appeared on the horizon.
