Chapter 186 Gambling Fight
Meng was overjoyed, and diligently took Zhao Sheng to go through the procedures for joining the alliance and select the cultivation cave.
Two hours later, the formalities were completed, and Zhao Sheng quickly chose the cave mansion.
In view of the low-key approach and the principle of safety, Zhao Sheng deliberately chose a remote cave on the edge of Spring and Autumn Island.
Although the concentration of aura in this place is low, because the cave is opened on the cliff and the sea below, Zhao Sheng is very satisfied with this.
After saying goodbye to Meng Qiyi, Zhao Sheng quickly rushed to this cliff cave mansion, opened the stone door with the forbidden token, and walked in.
The scale of this cave is not small, the space is spacious, there are more than a dozen stone rooms, decorative furniture, etc., and the internal spiritual energy concentration is quite profound, which is probably equivalent to the first-order spiritual vein and spiritual aperture, which is very suitable for cultivation.
After Zhao Sheng took a rough look at the cave mansion, he walked into the cultivation room. The cultivation room is not big, only five or six zhang in size, and the furnishings are quite simple, except for a white jade bed and an apricot yellow futon, there is nothing else.
Zhao Sheng was also satisfied with the arrangement inside, and after slightly inspecting the four stone walls and stone gates, and confirming that there were no surveillance prohibitions, he was relieved and stepped forward to sit cross-legged on the futon.
Zhao Sheng's sleeves flicked, and an enchantment talisman shot out, sticking squarely to the door of the stone room, and the white light expanded in all directions, forming a layer of white light curtain, completely isolating the entire cultivation room from the outside world.
After this, Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, flipped it with one hand, and took out a black shield from the storage bag, which was the low-grade defensive spirit weapon Haiyuan Shield obtained in Beifu Dongtian.
Zhao Sheng threw it lightly, and the Haiyuan shield suddenly flew into the air with a whirl, and then the divine light in his eyes was great, and he pinched the magic seal with both hands, and a divine sense spirit seal suddenly shot out of his hand and disappeared into the shield.
……
Three days later
In the cultivation room, Zhao Sheng's face was solemn, and one after another divine consciousness spirit prohibitions continued to submerge into the sea abyss shield.
With the continuous entry of the refining spirit seal, the Haiyuan Shield was glowing with a burst of black light, and the sound of the sea tide faintly sounded in the cultivation room.
At this moment, the Haiyuan Shield was suspended in mid-air, and countless spirit forbidden runes appeared on the surface from time to time. Under the collusion and interweaving of the runes, they were very clearly condensed into a series of defensive spirit prohibitions, and there were more than twenty at a glance.
At this moment, the divine light in Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, and the magic trick in his hand suddenly stopped, and at the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of essence blood, which instantly turned into a layer of blood mist, driven by his divine sense, and disappeared in a flash.
In the next second, the sea abyss shield was full of light, emitting a clear sound of sea tides, and the light and shadow of the shield gradually appeared in the cultivation room, whirling around the spirit shield.
When Zhao Sheng saw this, his eyes flashed with joy.
"Poly... Coagulate! ”
He let out a low shout, and the foundation building realm divine consciousness burst out in a flash,
Seeing the phantom light of the shield in the air, he immediately threw himself into the body of the abyss shield like a tired bird returning to the forest.
In an instant, a large area of black light exploded on the Haiyuan Shield, and more than 20 spiritual prohibitions suddenly appeared, and they instantly submerged into the Haiyuan Shield.
In the next second, Zhao Sheng's mind moved, and the Haiyuan Shield suddenly shrank to the size of a palm, turned into a black light, and flew in front of him, quickly circling around his body as his mind changed.
Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and the Haiyuan shield flew down with a "whoosh" and landed in the palm of his hand.
"Good. Finally the three spiritual weapons have been refined, and the previous generation of masters of Bei Mansion is a good person! The treasures left behind are all high-quality products. Zhao Sheng put away the Haiyuan shield and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth.
After refining the spiritual weapon, Zhao Sheng stood up immediately and walked out of the secret room slowly.
As soon as he went out, he found a messenger crane with his head covered in the cave and flying around.
Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand and made a move, Fu He flapped his wings, quickly flew over, and fell into his hands.
When he opened Fu He, Zhao Sheng's brows first furrowed, then let go, and muttered to himself, "The alliance leader is back and wants to convene a meeting of the elders of the guest qing?" Is it for me, or is there something really going on? Interesting! ”
Zhao Sheng freshened up, changed into a plain brocade robe, and then took a break.
Half a day later, Zhao Sheng walked out of the cave, and a white light suddenly shot out from his sleeve, and the white light turned around his body, and his whole person instantly turned into a platinum sword rainbow, galloping towards the Spring and Autumn Hall.
A moment later, the sword rainbow fell on the square in front of the palace, Zhao Sheng dispersed the sword light, withdrew the flying sword, and stepped into the magnificent Spring and Autumn Palace.
The whole hall is extremely tall and spacious, the area is more than 200 zhang, nearly 20 zhang high, there are 18 full hugging thick coiling dragon golden pillars inside to support the main hall, the top of the main hall is inlaid with more than 100 fist-sized Yao Ling beads, the main hall is illuminated as bright as day.
In the middle of the main hall, there are two rows of white jade tables and chairs, and at this moment, there are seventeen or eighteen immortal cultivators with extraordinary bearing and different looks, sitting on the jade chairs in twos and threes.
Some of them bowed their heads and whispered to each other, and some of them closed their eyes to recuperate, and Meng Qiyi was also among them, talking happily with the people around him.
At this time, on the three cyan jade chairs in the center of the main hall, there were two unfathomable old men, one of them, Zhao Sheng, had already seen Qifeng Zhenren, and the other had a high face, a tall and mighty figure, and his eyes were fiery, and there were two flames burning in Tong Kong.
As soon as Zhao Shengfang stepped into the main hall, he attracted some guest elders in the main hall to look over.
When Meng Qiyi saw Zhao Sheng coming, he stood up with a smile on his face, stepped forward quickly, and laughed: "Haha, Brother Zhao, you are here." Come, come, let me introduce you to your colleagues. ”
"This is the Supreme Elder of this Alliance, the Red Kite Zhenren."
"Junior, Zhao Chonghe, has seen the real person of the red kite!"
When Zhao Sheng heard this, he immediately bowed to the red kite real person with an ancient face.
"Excuse me! Qi Lao Dao, you are lucky. Such a young foundation junior has let you find it. However, since they have all joined the alliance, why do they still look secretive? The real voice of the red kite was like a bell, and he sarcastically said lukewarmly.
Seeing this, Qifeng Lao Dao laughed and laughed: "Haha, big kite, you can envy it!" Zhao Xiaoyou has agreed to join the Foreign Affairs Hall. Plus, you're too wide. That's other people's privacy, so why don't you have to report it to you? ”
"Humph!" The red kite glare angrily at the old adversary.
Seeing this, Meng Qiyi hurriedly pulled Zhao Sheng to the bottom and introduced him to others
"This is Lu Xia, Lu Daoyou, who is now the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall," Meng Qiyi said first, pointing to a middle-aged Confucian with a dashing demeanor.
"In Xia Zhao Chonghe, I have seen the master of the hall."
"It turned out to be Zhao Daoyou, and I heard a few days ago that a young handsome man came to this hall. When I saw it today, it was true! In the future, we will have to get closer to each other. Waiting for this matter, Lu will definitely go to Zhao Daoyou's cave to visit one or two. When the middle-aged Confucian saw Zhao Sheng, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and arched his hand to Zhao Sheng, and said loudly.
"The master of the hall is polite, it should be Zhao who went to visit." Zhao Sheng hurriedly replied politely.
After greeting him, Meng Qiyi took Zhao Sheng to introduce the others.
"This is Lu Daoyou......"
"Ludo friendly! …”
…...
"This is Zhuge Zhen's predecessor......"
"Zhuge seniors are polite..."
……
By the time most of the circle was introduced, half an hour had passed, and at this time, the green jade chair in the main hall was already full of people.
Zhao Sheng was the latest to join the alliance, so he found the jade chair at the end and sat down.
At this time, someone next to him arched his hand and said: "Zhao Daoyou, you look very young, you should build the foundation very early, right?"
Zhao Sheng turned his head to look, but saw that the person who spoke had a fair face, a delicate appearance, only in his twenties, wearing a brocade robe, and looked suave, just like a turbid son.
"It turned out to be Chen Guanxi Daoyou, who just looked at his face tenderly, but he was actually not young." Zhao Sheng said half-truths in order to avoid trouble.
The man smiled slightly, and just wanted to say a few more words.
I heard the sound of fluttering wings at the entrance of the main hall.
Chen Guanxi's face was solemn, and he turned his head to look at the door, and the rest of the hall also behaved in the same way.
In the next second, two people walked in from the door of the main hall, one of them was a high-crowned old man with a kind face, about six feet tall, wearing a jade-colored brocade robe, and the other was a young man with a radiant face, a face like a crown of jade, and red sideburns.
"Alliance Leader!"
"Hello Alliance Leader!"
As soon as they saw the old man appear, everyone in the hall got up to greet him, and most of them looked respectful.
The old man is the leader of the Spring and Autumn Alliance, the elder of the late Jindan period, and the real person in the sky.
"Alliance leader, this is the envoy! Sure enough, the jade tree is in the wind, and the style is outstanding! ”
Qi Feng and Red Kite, who were sitting on the top, had already stood up and greeted them.
"Gu Yanqiu, I've seen two seniors!" The young man smiled slightly, and seemed to bow to the two Jindan real people very casually.
Zhao Sheng looked at this "envoy" silently, judging from his name, it was obvious that he was a member of the Gu Yan family on Vermilion Island.
Judging from the aura emanating from his body, this person is also a foundation building monk, and he may be a few years younger than him.
As soon as Gu Yanqiu sat down, Elder Keqing immediately stepped forward to introduce himself, and most of his words were respectful to the envoy.
Gu Yanqiu looked polite and very kind to others, but Zhao Sheng could see a trace of contempt from time to time in the depths of the other party's gaze.
After a while, everyone finished introducing him, because Zhao Sheng was very young and the last, which made Gu Yanqiu inevitably have a deeper impression of him.
After this incident, the real person in the sky had a whole face, and without saying a word, he instantly controlled the atmosphere of the main hall.
"Today, this seat has summoned everyone to come here to discuss the conflict between this alliance and the Xuanxiao Sect, what are the opinions of the big guys about the spiritual veins of the Seven Star Reef?"
At this time, Chen Guanxi quietly explained to Zhao Sheng in a low voice:
"Zhao Daoyou, you didn't know if you came late. Our Spring and Autumn Alliance has frequently clashed with the Xuanxiao Sect over the spiritual veins of the Seven Star Reef, and this time I am afraid that we will have a big fight. Hehe, Zhao Daoyou, your luck is too bad! ”
Zhao Sheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and there was no color on his face. He didn't think he was unlucky, he saw it as an opportunity.
The Spring and Autumn League is the overlord of Jiuzhen Island. He wanted to learn the truly advanced alchemy, and with the help of the power of the Spring and Autumn League, he could achieve his goal faster and better, and the premise of all this was to make a big enough contribution to the Spring and Autumn League.
Zhao Sheng silently watched the others express their opinions passionately, and he found that most of the people supported a hard-to-head fight with the Xuanxiao Sect.
Looking at the appearance of the first three Jindan real people, Zhao Sheng faintly realized that all this was done for Gu Yanqiu to see.
Waiting for everyone to express their attitude, Gu Yanqiu smiled with a little emotion: "Before I came, my family said that the Spring and Autumn League was scattered. But from today's point of view, this statement is completely false. Your league is quite united! Senior Changkong, you have made up your mind, do you really want to have a fight with the Xuanxiao Sect? ”
Qi Feng and Red Kite's eyes flashed when they heard this, and after looking at each other, their eyes turned to the alliance leader.
At this time, Changkong Zhenren smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Special envoy, it's not that the Spring and Autumn Alliance has to fight with the Xuanxiao Sect, but that it deceives people too much. The ownership of the Seven Star Reef has long been publicly discussed in the Shattered Star Sea! But the Xuanxiao Sect was strong and reasonable, and it was necessary to occupy the Seven Star Reef. The Spring and Autumn League can't retreat, and it can't retreat! Otherwise, wouldn't it make fellow believers laugh! ”
Gu Yanqiu took a deep breath and said, "Harmony is precious!" Guimeng and Xuanxiao Sect are both old friends of Vermilion Island, you two might as well take a step back, I am willing to be a peacemaker, and go to Xuanxiao Sect to say goodbye. Senior Sky, what do you think? ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi Feng Lao Dao said loudly: "The envoy doesn't know that the Seven Star Reef has been within the sphere of influence of my Spring and Autumn Alliance since it was discovered two hundred years ago. Originally, there was only one first-order spiritual vein here, and there was not much potential for development.
But recently, someone inadvertently connected a larger-scale second-order spirit vein at the end of the Seven Star Reef Spirit Vein. The Xuanxiao Sect coveted this second-order spiritual vein, and actually claimed that the spiritual vein was not within the scope of the Seven Star Reef and belonged to the ownerless spiritual vein.
Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons
What's even more shameful is that they actually said that the second-order spirit vein was discovered by them a long time ago, and it should belong to the Xuanxiao Sect. This... This is really a strong word, which is tolerable or unbearable! ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the anger of everyone present.
After Qi Feng Lao Dao finished speaking, he looked directly at Gu Yanqiu and asked, "Special envoy, do you think the Xuanxiao Sect is doing the right thing?" ”
Gu Yanqiu looked at Qi Feng Zhenren, who was scorching, restrained the smile on his face, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, let's follow the old rules!" You two have a gambling fight. As for the way of gambling, it is for you and the Zixiao Sect to each send three foundation building monks to fight to the death, and the winner will get the ownership of the Seven Star Reef. ”
When Qi Feng and Red Kite heard this, their faces were dissatisfied and stunned.
Qifeng Lao Dao was about to open his mouth to argue, but Changkong Zhenren waved his hand and said, "It's okay to gamble, but the Xuanxiao Sect also has to take something of the same value as a bet."
"Okay, I'll persuade the Xuanxiao Sect to agree, then... This gambling fight is placed in half a year, how about it? ”
"Yes!"
"Alliance leader, no!" Red Kite Zhenren was anxious when he heard this, and blurted out his debut.
Changkong Zhenren waved his hand and said undoubtedly: "No need to persuade you, just use gambling to settle the belonging."
At this point, most of the expressions of the other people below were cloudy, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
