At the entrance of the Outer Objects Hall, Liu Quji excitedly said to Zhao Sheng, "Brother Zhao, you're in luck. The Qiongshen Patriarch wants to see you!"
Just as expected!
Zhao Sheng was mentally prepared for the fact that Master Qiongshen wanted to see him, so he didn't feel surprised at all.
Zhao Sheng handed the Hundred Years Order to Zhao Jinjian, and then followed Liu Quji away.
A moment later, on the sixth floor of the External Objects Hall, Zhao Sheng saw Master Qiongshen standing by the window.
At this time, Liu Quji was extremely tactful and left the room, carefully closing the door.
As soon as the door to the room closed, Zhao Sheng immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Zhao Chonghe greets the real master!"
"Chongqiweihe! Great name!"
After giving a compliment, Master Qiongshen waved his hand and released a magical power, helping Zhao Sheng up while speaking with a pleasant expression.
Zhao Sheng stood up straight, his expression calm, and said, "Master, did you invite me to meet you? Is it because of the golden ring spirit earthworm?"
Qiongshen Zhenren smiled and did not respond directly. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Did you discover the Golden Ring Spirit Earthworm?"
Zhao Sheng nodded and said, "Yes. I found these golden ring spirit earthworms in a valley on a cliff while collecting herbs on Tianzhu Mountain. In addition to the ones I handed in, I still have more than a dozen."
"Haha, you are quite frank. There are not many Qi-refining disciples in my sect who are as smart as you!" Master Qiongshen looked at Zhao Sheng, who was neither humble nor arrogant, with his eyes full of admiration.
Zhao Sheng smiled faintly and didn't respond. He took out a spirit insect bag and placed it on the table.
Before coming to Danding Sect, he had considered all possible unexpected situations as much as possible.
The current situation was not beyond his expectations.
Would a cultivator who obtained the Golden Ring Spirit Earthworm be so foolish as to hand them all over?
No,
Normal cultivators will take the initiative to hide some of them, and they will hide the best quality ones.
Zhao Sheng did the same.
Master Qiongshen took the bag of spirit insects into his hand, probed his spiritual sense into it, and a hint of surprise soon appeared on his face.
There are twelve golden-ringed spirit earthworms in this spirit insect bag. The shortest one is five feet long, and one of them is even more than three feet long.
You should know that as long as the golden ring earthworm does not divide and reproduce, it will continue to grow.
If it grows more than ten feet, it means it has the potential to become a mountain dragon.
The longer the length, the greater the chance of atavism!
The three-meter-long golden ring spirit earthworm is close to the second level in grade, and can be regarded as a rare treasure in the world. The probability of atavism is as high as one percent.
Don't underestimate one percent, the probability is already very high.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many Jindan Zhenren who choose to give up everything for this one percent possibility.
After a careful inspection, Qiongshen Zhenren flipped his wrist and put the spirit insect bag into his sleeve, while smiling and praising: "Very good, you are thoughtful!"
Zhao Sheng said modestly, "I dare not take credit for this. I beg you to forgive me for concealing the truth."
Qiongshen Zhenren said: "This is not a crime, it is just human nature. What do you want to ask for?"
Zhao Sheng's mind raced upon hearing this, and suddenly something occurred to him. He tentatively asked, "Master, it seems Master Lingshen is very interested in me?"
He did not directly say that Ling Shen Zhenren also had his eyes on this batch of golden-ringed earthworms, but instead used a different way of saying it in a roundabout way.
After hearing this, Master Qiongshen said indifferently, "Don't worry, I will handle Master Lingshen's case myself. You won't be involved."
Zhao Sheng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and continued, "I dare not ask for anything extravagant, I only ask that the Immortal grant me a copy of the Alchemy Manual."
In fact, Zhao Sheng already had a plan for what to exchange these spirit earthworms for.
Originally, he only wanted to exchange a few pill recipes, but since he saw how much importance Qiong Shen and Ling Shen attached to Ling Qiu, Zhao Sheng secretly raised the conditions by two levels.
Among the four key points of cultivating immortals, namely Dharma, wealth, companions and land, Dharma comes first.
Zhao Sheng finally had a good opportunity to blackmail someone. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to make some slightly excessive demands, he would have lived for hundreds of years in vain.
Qiongshen Zhenren laughed and said, "How dare you speak!"
When Zhao Sheng heard this, his face changed.
…
After a while, Zhao Sheng came out of the room with a calm expression and immediately saw Liu Quji guarding the stairs on the sixth floor.
"Brother Zhao, what happened?" Liu Quji asked anxiously when he saw Zhao Sheng.
"What happened? Are you asking about Master Qiongshen?" Zhao Sheng avoided the question but asked instead.
Liu Quji's face changed, and he suddenly slapped himself and begged for mercy: "I just said the wrong thing. Brother, please don't mind it."
Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Liu, that's not true. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity. Qiongshen Zhenren admires me very much and specially gave me some of her alchemy notes from her youth."
"What? The ancestor actually gave you her own handwritten experience. This is impossible!"
Liu Quji was very excited. He would rather believe that Zhao Sheng had obtained a top-grade spiritual weapon than believe what he heard.
Zhao Sheng did not explain, but silently took out a booklet and waved it in front of him.
Looking at the beautiful words on the surface of the booklet, Liu Quji's eyes turned red with envy.
Zhao Sheng looked at the other person and knew that he had intimidated him.
In fact, how could a Jindan Zhenren pass on his alchemy experience to an outsider?
True Person Qiongshen just casually gave him some notes, which only recorded a dozen or so pill recipes, as well as her analysis and summary of the recipes.
Even so, Zhao Sheng was very satisfied.
The partial alchemy experience of a Jindan Zhenren is enough to allow the Zhao family to have another alchemy inheritance.
Zhao Sheng naturally would not tell Liu Quji the truth behind the matter.
Zhao Sheng was already familiar with this trick of using the tiger's skin and raising the banner.
Every use has been effective.
This is not,
After this incident, Liu Quji looked at him differently. Besides awe, his eyes were also eager.
When Liu Quji learned that Zhao Sheng was going to take over Taiwu Mountain, he volunteered to accompany him and frankly said that he would help him solve some trivial matters, such as the difficulties caused by some people during the handover.
No need to say more!
Four days later, with Liu Quji's full support, Zhao Sheng and his companions took over Taiwu Mountain from the disciples stationed outside without any effort.
Ten days later, at Yunzhou Wharf in Jiudingfang City.
After Zhao Sheng said goodbye to Liu Quji again and again, he turned around and boarded the Banyue Yunzhou with Zhao Jinjian to return to Dongtian City.
…
Five days later, the sun set.
Watching Yue Yunzhou take off into the air, Zhao Jinjian seemed to have put down a huge burden and suddenly burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng seemed to be infected and a bright smile appeared on his face.
After laughing enough, Zhao Sheng calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Let's go! The big show over at Longli Lake has already begun. If we don't go now, we won't be able to catch the end."
Zhao Jinjian's face darkened upon hearing this, and he nodded, "Some people are really causing trouble!"
Zhao Sheng said calmly, "When disaster strikes, everyone flees, that's all!"
