Chapter 147: Jin Toad Speaks
The atmosphere in the Xuanyi Hall cooled down for a moment, and everyone looked at Stephen Strange with a cold expression, the conditions he proposed might not be too much for ordinary cultivators, but everyone here was a master of one side and a sect master, so it was a little inappropriate, and even a little uncomfortable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I don't know if Mr. Strange has considered the identities of all of us here, don't be presumptuous to say that they are all leaders and grandmasters of the same faction, representing not only us personally, if you join your Cornerstone Alliance, it is equivalent to letting the sect you belong directly downgrade and become a subsidiary force of your Cornerstone Alliance, your request is not appropriate, it is very inappropriate! Also unlikely! Li Ruyi frowned and said, he didn't turn his face directly with Stephen Strange, obviously he still had a longing for telomerase, and after drawing the bottom line, he said in a consultative tone: "I hope Your Excellency can think carefully, we rarely get together this time, in order to explore the way of immortality, not the time to show ambition, it is really hurtful to take the secret method of immortality to respect yourself, it really hurts everyone's feelings, why don't I exchange my Laojun Mountain's highest secret method "Guiding Thunder Technique" with you?" ”
Strange has a good emotional intelligence, and he knows that the conditions he proposed before have displeased everyone, but he still has no intention of changing his words, and said calmly: "Sect Master Li misunderstood what I meant, my cornerstone alliance is not a sect, a religion, or even a close organization, as I said before, it is just a platform for academic exchanges, but internal resources and information are completely shared and common, and the only binding ones are probably the resolutions issued by the council, but rest assured, if you join the cornerstone alliance, They must all be members of the council and belong to the highest decision-making level, and there is no such thing as self-surrender. ”
"Your Excellency, you don't need to say more, I will never join your alliance." Li Ruyi didn't think about it, and flatly refused, there was already a trace of fireworks in his heart, "Let me ask you again, I will exchange the "Thunder Trick" with you, are you willing?" ”
"I am also willing to take half a volume of the "Jiuli True Scripture" and exchange it for a few copies of telomerase with you." Bai Yehu said coldly beside him, with a wrinkled old face, he also refused to join the Cornerstone Alliance, but he coveted telomerase.
The atmosphere became tense for a while, and the conditions offered by Li Ruyi and Bai Yehu were not low, but this was not a matter of wishful thinking after all.
"Forget it." Strange sighed regretfully, and then waved his hand and smiled, although his expression was light and light, his attitude was extremely resolute, and he refused to let go at all, but he said it tactfully and cleverly, so that people had no way to take him, "Telomerase is still in an immature stage, seeing that the efficiency is quite low, "True Thunder Chapter" and "Jiuli True Scripture" are the highest inheritance secret methods of your sect, and their value is immeasurable, I really don't dare to hope for extravagance, I really made an exchange, and it is good that telomerase can be effective at that time, if it has no effect, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay this account, It's better to wait for the telomerase to mature a little more, and then I will exchange it with the binary. ”
Li Ruyi and Bai Yehu were both speechless by the prevarication, so they could only take a deep breath, suppress the unwillingness and anger in their hearts, and return in disappointment.
The others are also in a general mood, although they haven't expressed their position before, but their position is very clear, they are all grandmasters, and it is impossible for them to surrender their identities to the Cornerstone Alliance. And in exchange for other things, Stephen Strange refused, what else could he do, he could only stop and dispel his extravagant hopes.
When everyone thought that this matter should be turned over, a discordant voice suddenly appeared.
"I'm willing to join."
The eyes of everyone in the Xuanyi Hall focused on Luoyang for a while, and they were extremely surprised.
"You are all grandmasters of various factions, and your status is extraordinary, but I am different, I am just a casual cultivator, a lonely person, I don't have so many worries, this telomerase only listens to the effect, it is comparable to the ancient immortal medicine, I want to see it." Luoyang was stared at by everyone a little unnaturally, and explained two sentences superfluously.
"Welcome His Excellency Xu Ying to join the Cornerstone Alliance, we will be comrades in the future." Stephen Strange was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that at the last moment, he actually recruited someone, and it was Luoyang, who had some contradictions with him, after coming back to his senses, he laughed and resolved the embarrassment, and then regardless of his previous suspicions, he reached out to shake hands with Luoyang, extremely enthusiastic, and used a title that made Luoyang find interesting - comrade.
Luoyang also stretched out his hand, and both sides tacitly agreed not to mention the previous matter.
He joined the Cornerstone Alliance not just for a few telomerase samples, although this is also what he values, he also wants to further penetrate into the interior of the Awakened, fully integrate into this circle, joining the Cornerstone Alliance is undoubtedly the fastest way, this is a completely open organization, and other sects have a deep understanding of the portal, he wants to be among them, and gain status and trust, it is not an easy task.
In addition, he also sees the benefits of information and resource sharing within the cornerstone alliance.
As for the various constraints that may be imposed on joining it, it will not hinder him, and he can get out of Xu Ying's identity at any time.
All in all, joining the Cornerstone Alliance is a good thing for him, and it's a big win.
"I am a person who likes to be at ease, although I have joined your alliance, I don't want to be bound by too many rules and regulations, let alone become a lackey under your command, but I have always had a rule, that is, to repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness, even if I take the benefits of your cornerstone alliance, I will not take it in vain, and I will definitely give back." Luoyang has said both ugly and good things in advance, although joining the Cornerstone Alliance is just a step in his plan, but he doesn't want to make things too complicated in the future.
"Comrade Xu Ying rest assured, I and the council have never forced any member to do what he is not willing to do, and every member must work and do things for the alliance out of willingness, for the simple reason that the alliance will not treat anyone badly." Stephen Strange smiled, his words revealing a great deal of confidence.
"Oh." Luoyang was aroused a little interested, and listened to him continue to speak.
"These people behind me are all members of the board of directors of my cornerstone alliance, except for my daughter, the other two comrades, who had nothing to do with my cornerstone alliance a few years ago, but now they have dedicated their lives to the cause of the alliance, naturally, the alliance will not treat them badly, they have unlimited resource allocation quota within the alliance's affordability, and the highest level of information sharing authority." Stephen Strange pointed sideways to the two men and a woman behind him, and all three of them smiled back at Luoyang and were extremely friendly.
Luoyang couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, this Strange's courage and mind are really admirable, even shocking.
With a leader like him in the Cornerstone Alliance, it is no wonder that in just over ten years, his power has swelled to such an extent, with four Qi Sea Realm Awakeners.
"I don't want these extravagant things, I just need telomerase and cutting-edge scientific and technological means that are beneficial to my cultivation, and I don't reject science and technology, I think that the same as cultivation, it is just another manifestation of truth and the Great Dao." Luoyang said calmly, not showing too much snobbery.
Hearing this, Stephen Strange became more and more fond of Luoyang, the awakened are extremely old-fashioned, and they think very highly of themselves, looking down on emerging things such as science, and it is precisely because of this short-sightedness that the awakened have not taken a step forward in the past 10,000 years, like Luoyang, who is open-minded and has great achievements in cultivation, is simply rare, and this kind of person is exactly what he needs in the cornerstone alliance, his desire to seek talent is becoming more and more intense, and he waved his hand strongly, and said; "Since I have made a promise, as long as everyone here is willing to join my Cornerstone Alliance, they will be one of the members of the Council, then you will also be treated like this, and you don't have to shirk it."
With that, he took out a black card from his pocket and handed it over.
Luoyang took it and saw that it was a credit card, the card number was only six digits, and the pattern was very simple, only a black pyramid, and there was a deep eye on the spire, which was exactly the same as the Eye of God on the back of the American emblem.
"There is no limit to the amount, the repayment is responsible for the foundation under the alliance, you don't have to worry about it, the phone on the back, there are people answering it 24 hours a day, and any service will be provided for you anytime and anywhere, even if it is the moon." Stephen Strange said with a smile, and the last sentence was a little out of tune, I don't know if it was a joke, "Don't refuse me." ”
"Can you really go to the moon?" Luoyang asked casually, the other party had already said this, and it was meaningless to refuse.
"If you want to do this, I'll have someone contact NASA right now, and I'll make sure you get it within three months." Strange still smiled, but in a more serious tone.
When everyone present heard this, their faces were indescribably strange, just take telomerase for nothing, this Strange is still so big, unlimited supply of resources and information, what kind of treatment is this? And he has a good skill, and he can even do things like landing on the moon, is there anything on earth that he can't do? Thinking of this, there are a few people who envy Luoyang, joining the cornerstone alliance is not a good choice, but changing his words at this time is equivalent to slapping himself in the face, but it is not good.
"The moon landing will not be enough, and there will be more exchanges in the future." Luoyang waved his hand, showing a hint of a smile.
"Can you talk about your private affairs in private?" Li Ru said that the two ignored others, sang and harmonized, and did not get telomerase before, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said coldly to wake up.
Stephen Strange was not angry, apologized to Li Ruyi, and then whispered to Luoyang: "I will take the time to visit you again in the evening." ”
Li Ruyi's gaze retracted from the two of them, and he was not as enthusiastic about Luoyang as before, so he returned to the previous topic: "Earlier, His Excellency Stephen Strange and I have already expounded our respective cultivation experiences, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and stones, I don't know who will speak next?" ”
"Let's talk about it, old man." The person who answered was the white fox of the white field.
"The cultivation method of my Lei Shan Bai clan originates from the "Jiuli True Scripture", the origin of this book can be traced back to ancient times, nine times out of ten it is written by immortals who have mastered the way of immortality before the end of the Dharma era, and the secret method of the Great Dao recorded in it is many times more clever than those strange and ingenious tricks of ordinary people." When the white fox said this, his eyes fell on Stephen Strange, intentionally or unintentionally, obviously saying this to him on purpose.
But the latter, who was very well-educated, just smiled in response and motioned for him to continue.
"The Jiuli True Scripture is divided into two volumes, the upper volume is mainly recorded in some Gu poison techniques, which belong to the small path, and the next volume is different, involving the soul, recording many incredible secret techniques, such as the soul out of the body, borrowing the corpse to return the soul and so on." The white wild fox's eyelids closed slightly, withdrew his gaze, and continued to preach.
He was fully engaged, but there was no reaction from the crowd.
His words, both shocking and fresh, are not as good as Li Ruyi and Stephen Strange, they are all self-praise, and they don't even bring much dry goods, and it is reasonable for everyone to be indifferent, which makes him a little embarrassed, and he is determined to show his hand, so he closes his eyes.
Then everyone saw that there were words in his mouth, an obscure ancient syllable, rhyme came out of his throat, and the listener was uncomfortable, as if thousands of ants were crawling on his body, and couldn't help but want to fall asleep, a few seconds later, the white wild fox's complexion began to lose its luster and blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its muscles dried up, and in less than half a minute, the whole person seemed to have become a corpse, without a little anger.
Everyone present was stunned, I don't know what Bai Yehu's intentions are, sit in place? Suicide?
Otherwise, what would he do if he leaked all the aura in his body like opening a floodgate and releasing water?
Just when everyone was ambiguous, the plug of the black gourd on the waist of the white sea toad suddenly collapsed, and a golden toad the size of a palm jumped out of it, and the golden toad seemed to be a boneless thing, and from the hole with a diameter of less than three centimeters, it was squeezed through the whole body, like an octopus.
It was not big, but it fell to the ground and made a frog roar, like a cow's roar.
But what made everyone even more dumbfounded was that the golden toad immediately spoke: "This is the technique of out-of-body soul and resurrection of the soul through corpses." ”
The voice is ninety percent similar to that of the white wild fox, the only difference is that this voice is even more powerful and powerful, as if it was when he was young.
"Isn't this a soul manipulation technique?" Someone asked in a daze, obviously shocked.
"That kind of superficial method, I don't bother to take it out and show ugliness." Jin Toad spoke again, and this time even his eyes were vivid.
"What's the difference?" Li Ruyi was quite calm, and he had heard of the highest secret method of the Lei Shan Bai Clan, but this was also the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
"The technique of soul manipulation is nothing more than the nerve signal of the puppet hijacked by the divine sense, which can be used by people with strong divine sense, but the soul out of the body and the soul borrowed from the corpse is to completely transfer their own soul to the past, and to be born from the body, for a simple example, even if you cut off my head now, I can still use the body of this golden toad to continue to exist, immortal and indestructible, and even one day, my physical body will be brushed by the years, and I can also transfer all the soul consciousness to the golden toad and extend my life, this is the way of immortality of the "Jiuli True Scripture". Jin Toad laughed dryly, and seemed very proud of it.
