Chapter 670: There Is No Free Lunch

Tian Xiaoding went to Xizhaofeng, planning to meet Shangguan Yao, the powerful Shangguan Yao of the Tribulation Period who helped Tianyao Village last time.

Since he wants to go to the secret realm of the sand sea, then, on the side of the cottage, he must be handed over to Shangguan Yao to take care of it.

Otherwise, if he took a few Jindan monks in the cottage and left, if Qingfeng Village or the Jiuli Sect sent people to attack, Tianyao Village would not have the strength to resist at all.

If in the past, Qingfeng Village did not invite monks who knew the formation, and they would not be able to help the people of Tianyao Village. However, now that they have the monks of the Qianfa Temple to help break the formation, then the defense of Dazhao Mountain will be vulnerable.

Judging from the current situation, if there is no such powerful person in Tianyao Village, even if Xiao Ding and the others do not leave the cottage, they will not be able to resist those people in Qingfeng Village.

Since in the secret realm of the sand sea, resources that can be found and useful for everyone's cultivation and improvement, then Xiao Ding is willing to take an adventure.

Yesterday, after Tian Xiao'e and Ou Muyun returned to Xizhao Peak, the two of them said to the people in the cottage that they were temporarily out of the customs and prepared to follow the master of the village to the secret realm of the Sand Sea.

The people on Xizhao Peak naturally obeyed the command of their husband and wife, and no one asked why.

After Xiaoding and his wife arrived, Tian Xiao'e and his wife let the three of them into the Xizhaofeng meeting hall.

Then, Ou Muyun personally went to Shangguan Yao's room to invite him over.

Regarding the marriage of Ou Muyun and his wife, Shangguan Yao naturally knew. Seeing that the descendants of his former friends have such a career, of course he is also happy for Ou Muyun.

Hearing Ou Muyun say that Xiao Ding planned to lead Ou Muyun and his wife to the secret realm of the Sand Sea, Shangguan Yao didn't say a word, and followed Ou Muyun to the meeting hall.

If this was in normal times, Shangguan Yao would have found an excuse to shirk it, so he didn't bother to pay attention to those messy things.

Xiao Ding saw Shangguan Yao follow Ou Muyun into the hall, and he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Although Xiao Ding is the owner of the cottage, Shangguan Yao is a powerful person during the catastrophe period. In the world of cultivation, where strength is respected, the strength of strength determines the level of status.

Not to mention that Xiao Ding is just the owner of a small cottage, even if he is the head of a certain sect, in front of the profound power of cultivation, he has to be respectful.

"Senior Shangguan, don't come unharmed! It's an honor for you to come here in person!" Xiao Ding said spatterly.

Shangguan Yao glanced at Xiao Ding, walked to the first seat of the guest seat and sat down, and said, "I heard that the master of the Tianzhai has planned to go to the secret realm of the Sand Sea and is ready to bring Mu Yun and his wife, so I just came here."

Xiao Ding saw that Shangguan Yao did not sit on the main seat, and knew in his heart that this Shangguan Yao was still more face-saving, he did not take the lead from the crowd, relying on his own cultivation to be profound, and did not take others in his eyes.

As a result, Xiao Ding's impression of Shangguan Yao is not very bad.

Therefore, he hurriedly smiled and said, "That's true, I have the idea of going to the secret realm of the Sand Sea, and by the way, I will bring a few Jindan monks in the cottage to experience it and look for an opportunity."

Shangguan Yao nodded and said, "So, you came to me just to ask me to help you take care of your cottage?"

Xiao Ding nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, please ask the seniors of Shangguan to help out."

Shangguan Yao touched his beard and said, "Even if you go to the secret realm of the Sand Sea, this cottage of Dazhao Mountain, I can naturally take care of you. I already promised you last time, if you want to go to the secret realm of the sand sea, I will naturally help you take care of the cottage......

Xiao Ding hurriedly clasped his fists and thanked him and said, "Then thank you to Senior Shangguan!" However, I don't plan to let my predecessors take care of the cottage in vain. I happen to have a Shou Yuan Dan here, and I can give it to my seniors as a reward......

"Shou Yuan Dan? ......" Shangguan Yao's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.

Although he himself has a lot of longevity, after so many years, his longevity is about to be exhausted. If he can't break through to the true stage before his longevity is exhausted, then he

This life ends here.

Hearing that Xiao Ding had Shou Yuan Dan to give to him, of course he was very surprised. You must know that even on Hua Xuanzhou, that Shou Yuan Dan is also an unattainable thing, if there is no chance, no matter how high you cultivate, it will not be able to meet.

Xiao Ding took out a Shou Yuan Pill, handed it to Shangguan Yao, and said, "Yes, this is Shou Yuan Dan, after taking it, you can increase your Shou Yuan for five hundred years."

Shangguan Yao's eyes when he looked at Xiao Ding at this moment, and immediately softened, and he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Master Tianzhai, I didn't expect that you could still get this rare treasure at such a young age, don't you plan to take it yourself?"

Xiao Ding hurriedly explained, "I have already taken this kind of Shouyuan Dan in Xia. When I was in the Haitian Secret Realm, I accidentally got a few Shouyuan Pills, I took one myself, and gave a few to my relatives and friends, and now there is only this last pill left, so I will give it to you. Anyway, this elixir will only have an effect when you take it for the first time, and after taking it once, it won't work if you take it later......

Shangguan Yao happily took the pill and said, "What I heard is true, then, the old man is disrespectful, hahaha......" As he spoke, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Shouyuan Pill into his mouth.

The reason why Xiao Ding said that there is only one left, is just to hide people's eyes. If he still has it on him, if this news spreads, wouldn't it invite death?

In the cultivation realm, the matter of killing people and seizing treasures is staged every day. It is not uncommon for a husband to be innocent and guilty. Although in Xiao Ding's Qiankun pot, the ginseng fruit trees, purple pine trees, and red wood and peach trees used to refine Shouyuan Dan are all planted, as long as the year is enough, then the fruit can be picked to refine a large number of Shouyuan Dan.

However, how can Xiao Ding say this kind of thing easily?

The people who are close to you can secretly send one pill. For other people, if you can't let them know, then try not to let them know.

As for Shangguan Yao, he didn't care if Xiao Ding's Shou Yuan Dan was the last one. Anyway, this kind of elixir, a person can only take it once, and it will increase the longevity of five hundred years, and if you take too much, you will not increase your longevity a little more. Therefore, even if you have more of this, it is useless, wait for more to be exchanged for some spirit stone flowers. However, would his monks in this period of tribulation still lack spirit stones?

The reason why Xiao Ding took the initiative to give Shangguan Yao Shouyuan Pill was that he knew that Shangguan Yao's Shouyuan was running out, and he was in urgent need of this pill. The second is that he understands the truth that "there is no free lunch in the world", since Tianyao Village needs the protection of Shangguan Yao, then his side must have to pay some price. Even if Shangguan Yao didn't take the initiative to ask him for anything valuable, Xiao Ding couldn't help but give it.

Moreover, since Shangguan Yao accepted Xiao Ding's Shou Yuan Dan, after Xiao Ding left, Shangguan Yao would definitely try his best to protect the cottage. In this way, after Xiaoding leaves the cottage, he will be more at ease.

Otherwise, for Shangguan Yao, it is a favor for him to help Tianyao Village, and it is his duty not to help Tianyao Village. If it only relies on Ou Muyun's relationship, it may not be able to completely tie Shangguan Yao. What if he is in a happy mood one day and leaves Dazhao Mountain? In that case, who can still resist the attack of Qingfeng Village?

And after Shangguan Yao took Xiao Ding's Shouyuan Dan, it was different. As the saying goes, "Eat others with short mouths, take others with short hands". Xiao Ding understands that for Shangguan Yao, if he gives him some ordinary items, he won't be able to look at it at all, so after thinking about it, Xiao Ding still feels that Shou Yuan Dan is exactly what Shangguan Yao needs at the moment. Therefore, he gave a Shouyuan Pill to Shangguan Yao.

After Shangguan Yao took Shou Yuan Dan, he immediately understood Xiao Ding's intentions, and he said to Xiao Ding: "Tian Zhai Master, although I have taken your Shou Yuan Dan, but we have to say in advance, after you leave, I don't have time to take care of the messy things in your cottage, I am only responsible for helping your cottage defend against foreign enemies, what do you think?"

Xiao Ding hurriedly nodded and said, "Senior Shangguan, if you can help us defend against foreign enemies, then you have already helped us a lot. As for the trivial matters in the cottage, I will arrange for people to manage them, so you don't have to worry about them."

above

Hearing this, Guan Yao nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, let's decide this matter first, when do you plan to leave, just send someone to tell me when the time comes." I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Don't hide it from the owner of the village, the old decay is on the verge of promotion recently, and it is unknown whether it is possible to advance to the real period. Therefore, the old decay will not be accompanied for the time being......

Xiao Ding hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Senior Shangguan, please ......" Xiao Ding could hear that this old man, after taking his Shouyuan Dan, his tone of voice to himself was much slower than before.

Shangguan Yao hurriedly left the meeting hall, and Xiao Ding, Ou Muyun, Tian Xiao'e, Ouyang Qing, and Zhang Xiaodie discussed the date and route of the itinerary again, and then left Xizhao Peak and returned to Dazhao Peak.

After having lunch on Dazhao Peak, Xiao Ding took his two wives to Dongzhao Peak.

The person in charge of Dongzhaofeng is the senior sister Cheng Yaowu and Lu Tianshuo, two husband and wife.

Since Tian Xiao'e and his wife advanced to the Jindan stage, the two of them have also closed their doors.

Therefore, when Xiao Ding came to Dongzhao Peak, he did not see the senior sister and his wife, but saw their son Lu Teng.

After the Chinese New Year, Lu Teng had reached the age of eighteen and had grown into a tall and burly young man.

It's just that Lu Teng's cultivation is still in the stage of Qi training. After all, he is not very old, and his cultivation time is limited.

When Xiao Ding and the three of them saw Lu Teng, they said to him, "I want to see your parents, I have something important to discuss, you can go and talk to them......
