Chapter 404: Win-win cooperation
Zhang Yifan cautiously fled all the way to the north, and for the demon beasts he encountered on the road, he avoided what he could, and tried not to provoke them.
Even when he encountered some elixirs, as long as it was more troublesome, he didn't bother to pick them up, all in a hurry.
After passing through the Phantom Rabbit Valley and his party before, he spent almost seven or eight days, and the time was not very sufficient, while the Phantom Bear Cave was relatively far away, in a relatively deep area in the secret realm, and it would take four or five days just to travel.
Zhang Yifan was relatively smooth along the way, with his current strength, unless he encountered the existence of the Yuan Infant Stage, the general phantom beasts were not his opponents.
When he was about to arrive at the Phantom Bear Cave, Zhang Yifan looked behind him from time to time, and the three looming figures more than 20 miles behind him followed him.
Previously, when passing through an intersection, Zhang Yifan found three hidden people, he thought that three monks from other royal families were looking for opportunities here, and he didn't pay attention to them.
By the time he had been heading towards the Phantom Bear Cave, the three had been following him, no matter how much he went.
He knew that the three people behind him were definitely not weak, and they should be coming at him.
But apart from the fact that he had contact with Sima Lan, he had no contact with other royal monks at all, which made Zhang Yifan feel a little strange in his heart.
Now Zhang Yifan is strong, and he will not be too afraid of other monks, even if he is a royal monk.
Before entering the Phantom Bear Cave, Zhang Yifan stopped and waited for a long time.
The three figures were stunned, but they quickly fled towards Zhang Yifan, and did not stay in place as before.
Soon, the three of them appeared in front of Zhang Yifan.
A handsome boy with a good demeanor, the silver hairpin on his head is more conspicuous, the whole person is gentle as jade, with red lips and white teeth.
The other two were dressed in silver armor and helmets covering their faces, and they couldn't see very clearly, but they were all fierce and looked very difficult to mess with.
"The three of them followed, what do you want?" Zhang Yifan said coldly, and there was a big fight without saying a word.
"Hehe, why should this Taoist friend refuse to be thousands of miles away, this son is looking for you to cooperate this time. The handsome boy said with a chuckle.
"Cooperation?" Zhang Yifan was stunned, a little surprised.
"Hehe, since Li Daoyou can cooperate with my third sister, he can naturally cooperate with me, I am Sima Hui. "The handsome boy is very confident.
"It turned out to be the fifth prince of the imperial family, and he has admired the name for a long time. He was not interested in cooperating, especially with the royal monks. Zhang Yifan's face turned cold and said unceremoniously.
"Hehe, presumably Li Daoyou and my third sister are not happy to cooperate. But also, with my third sister's selfish and domineering temperament, it is generally others who suffer, and she benefits. The handsome boy said sarcastically.
"If the fifth prince has nothing else to do, he will take his leave. If you follow me again, then you're welcome. Zhang Yifan was not interested in talking to the monk in front of him, so he said goodbye directly.
But the other party's words made him stop.
"Li Daoyou is going to the Phantom Bear Cave, I don't know how sure you are to find the red jade spirit ginseng?"
"How much did Sima Lan tell you?" Zhang Yifan's face was extremely ugly at this time, and he was extremely disgusted with Sima Lan in his heart.
"What I want to know, why do I need to be told by my third sister. I know that Li Daoyou is looking for red jade ginseng, and has reached a cooperation with my third sister, so I found this phantom bear cave. However, Li Daoyou is still a long way from finding the red jade spirit ginseng, this phantom bear cave is like a labyrinth, there is no special means, it is easy to get lost in it. And even if Li Daoyou can survive in the Phantom Bear Cave, trying to find the red jade spirit ginseng is like looking for a needle in a haystack, hehe. The handsome boy said with a grin.
Zhang Yifan didn't seem to be nonsense when he heard the person in front of him, and his heart moved: "I don't know what advice the five princes have and how to cooperate." ”
Li Daoyou is really refreshing. This prince knows a lot about the Phantom Bear Cave, and there is a strange treasure that can make Taoist friends not lose their way at all. Not only that, but I also have some speculation about where the red jade ginseng may appear. It is definitely a win-win situation for you and me to cooperate. ”
"Well, I don't know what the fifth prince needs to do?" Zhang Yifan asked quietly.
"Hehe, it's simple. Li Daoyou only needs to go to the Yin Ape Valley to help me find a strange liquid called Wuyuan Yin Liquid, which only needs one catty. The handsome boy said casually.
"The Yin Ape Valley of the Peerless Danger?" Zhang Yifan asked with a frown.
"Exactly. ”
"The five princes please be smart, everyone knows that the Absolute Spirit Danger Land is a famous dangerous place in the Great Jin, there is not the slightest aura in it, and the magic power of the monks in it is greatly reduced, and they can't explore much at all. And the Yin Ape Valley is understood to be in the depths of the Absolute Spiritual Danger, and the Yin Ape Demon Beasts in it are difficult to deal with even a monk who has spiritual power to use, let alone an environment without spiritual power, it can almost be said that there is death and no life. Zhang Yifan refused without hesitation.
It's not that Zhang Yifan can't go to that dangerous place, but just for some unspecific information about the red jade spirit ginseng, he took risks and delayed a lot of time, Zhang Yifan felt that the value was too low.
"Why should Brother Li refuse right away. If others can't go over there, this prince believes it, but Brother Li, even if you don't have spiritual power, it doesn't seem to have much impact on your strength. ”
Zhang Yifan couldn't imagine that the other party could see so many things about him, so he couldn't help but look at the handsome boy again. He couldn't help but sigh that every royal monk seemed to be extraordinary, the previous Sima Lan was like this, and so was the Sima Hui in front of him.
"Even if that's the case, I wouldn't take such a big risk just for this bit of information. Zhang Yifan said unceremoniously.
"The conditions of this prince are not yet over, if Li Daoyou can bring back five catties of Wuyuan Yin liquid, this prince has a Ning Ying Pill in his hand that can be exchanged. If this amount is not enough, this prince can collect five million lower grade spirit stones for one catty. ”
"Ning Ying Dan!" Zhang Yifan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.
For Ning Ying Dan, Zhang Yifan is actually very eager, he has a special situation, Jin Dan is nine points, and it is very difficult to condense Yuan Ying. And that Ning Ying Pill was one of the few special pills that worked best on him.
With the Ning Infant Pill, his chance of condensing a Yuan Infant increased by at least two or three percent, and it was definitely one of the best elixirs he wanted.
"Hehe, it's indeed Ning Ying Dan. This elixir must have been known to Li Daoyou, and that pill was worth 30 million lower-grade spirit stones. ”
"I remember that it was a female cultivator who auctioned off this pill at that time, so how did the pill get to you?"
"Hehe, this Li Daoyou doesn't have to ask. This prince guarantees that the pill is in my hand, as long as you can get enough of the Yuanless Yin Liquid, the Ning Infant Pill is yours. ”
"Why are the five princes willing to exchange the best elixir? As far as I know, the Ning Ying Pill is almost one of the precious elixirs for the Jindan stage monks. Zhang Yifan was a little curious, he didn't believe that there were still Jindan monks who were willing to exchange this thing.
"It's just a pill, this prince says it's the same. As for the specific reason, Brother Li doesn't need to ask. ”
"Okay, that's okay. I hope that the five princes will not break their promises. Zhang Yifan thought for a while, and finally agreed to cooperate with Sima Hui, which was indeed very attractive to him.
"Haha, of course. This is part of the map jade slip of the Phantom Bear Cave, which contains the prince's mark on the places where the red jade spirit ginseng may exist, and Brother Li can explore these places. This spirit seal is a peculiar talisman, once activated, it can automatically record the terrain and landforms seen by the monk and draw it into the talisman, which lasts for half a month, and is the treasure of exploring the labyrinth. ”
Sima Hui handed over the information to Zhang Yifan very simply, which made Zhang Yifan have a good sense of him, at least much stronger than Sima Lan.
As far as he knew, the spirit seal talisman was worth a lot of money, but it was a very powerful talisman, each of which cost more than 100,000 spirit stones, and it was also priceless.
Sima Hui set aside the two silver-armored guards, and secretly discussed the details of the cooperation with Zhang Yifan for a while, exchanging transmission notes and contact information, and in the end both parties were very satisfied.
"Fifth prince, you are not afraid of falling into this phantom bear cave, so you will lose. After agreeing to cooperate, pulling people closer to each other, Zhang Yifan relaxed a little and said jokingly.
"Hehe, it's just a talisman, and the prince doesn't care. However, Brother Li really has to be careful, in addition to the terrain in this phantom bear cave like a labyrinth, the phantom bear monster hidden in it is not easy to mess with, its power is infinite, and the power of the natal illusion released is very powerful, which is the most powerful among the many phantom beasts at present. Sima Hui admonished.
"Thank you, Fifth Prince, I know. Zhang Yifan thanked.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yifan still asked: "Fifth prince, as far as I know, that Yuanless Yin Liquid seems to be a strange thing used by the female cultivator, and it is said that it can wash away the dark and hidden diseases in the female cultivator's body and replenish the Yin Yuan. ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect Brother Li to know a lot about this Yuanless Yin Liquid. It is true that this liquid is more suitable for female cultivators, but it is not unavailable for male cultivators. Li Daoyou probably doesn't know that this liquid also has a very anti-heaven effect, that is, it can nourish and strengthen the dark spirit root, and this prince is the dark spirit root by chance. Otherwise, do you think this prince will exchange that Ning Ying Pill for it?" Sima Hui said proudly.
"I didn't expect that there were such strange things in the world, I had never heard of this Yuanless Yin Liquid having such an anti-heaven effect, and it could actually nourish and strengthen the spiritual root, wouldn't that mean that it could greatly improve the monk's qualifications?" Zhang Yifan couldn't help but be very interested, and hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, since Li Daoyou has cooperated with this prince, it doesn't hurt to say more. This elementless yin liquid needs to go through very complicated processing to have the effect of a large dark spirit root, and the amount of spirit stones consumed is also a very huge amount, and it is not easy to have this effect. Sima Hui explained.
"I wonder if the five princes can tell me how to deal with it? The fifth prince can rest assured, he is not a dark spirit root, and he has no need for that elementless yin liquid. Zhang Yifan said.
"Why can't this be, when Brother Li takes the Wuyuan Yin Liquid, then this prince should present this secret method. This secret method was obtained by this prince from an ancient secret book, and it is an ancient secret method. Moreover, it also records a secret method, saying that it is to use the rumored Sun True Flame Sacrifice to refine this liquid, supplemented by some other precious treasures, to refine the spiritual liquid that strengthens the spiritual roots of other attributes. It's a pity that the Sun True Flame is a rumored spiritual flame, and whether it exists in this world is still a matter of two words. Otherwise, this prince still wants to refine some. Sima Hui said with some regret.
Sima Hui deliberately said this, obviously wanting to strengthen Zhang Yifan's determination to go to that dangerous place to explore the Wuyuan Yin Liquid.
Zhang Yifan naturally knew the other party's purpose, but the other party didn't know that he was carrying the true flame of the sun, and if he knew, it would be another general thought.
Zhang Yifan knew that he had to go to that desperate place.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhang Yifan just nodded indifferently.
The two exchanged a few other things, and found that they seemed to be more comfortable with each other.
This made Zhang Yifan have some new impressions of the monks of the royal family, not all monks are like Sima Lan.
"Fifth Prince, don't you go to the Phantom Bear Cave?" Zhang Yifan asked.
"No, there is nothing this prince needs. This prince is here to help Li Daoyou do one more thing, right?" said Sima Hui with a strange expression.
"What did the fifth prince say?" Zhang Yifan was confused.
"Hehe, nothing. Li Daoyou go quickly, the Phantom Bear Cave is not small, and it may not be able to be searched in half a month. ”
"That's the next goodbye. Zhang Yifan saw that the other party seemed unwilling to reveal, so he stopped asking, and simply entered the phantom bear cave.
After seeing Zhang Yifan enter the Phantom Bear Cave, Sima Hui muttered to himself: "I didn't expect my third sister to be able to help you, it really surprised me, hehe, I hope you won't let me down." ”
"Young master, the three princesses, they should be coming this way, some of the means I arranged have been triggered. ”
"yes, I see. I can roughly feel her direction, it should be coming towards me, and I don't know if she is looking for me or Li Yuan, so let's block him. Sima Hui said.
"Yes, then my two brothers should make preparations and hide their identities first, so as not to be discovered by the third princess. And that Yan Ming's strength is not trivial, and the young master should not be careless. The silver-armored monk said.
Then the two of them took off their silver armor and pretended to be Sima Hui's two ordinary guard monks, both of whom were in the middle of Jindan's cultivation, and they looked relatively ordinary.
"Hehe, thank you two big brothers. Sima Hui chuckled, not at all worried about what was going to happen next.
About a long time later, Sima Lan and Yan Ming came to the Phantom Bear Cave.
Sima Lan looked at the person in front of her angrily, stunned for a while.
"Fifth brother, why are you!"
"Hehe, I said Third Sister, who am I or not?, why are you running towards me so violently?" Sima Hui asked with some puzzlement.
"How can you have Sima Jing's girl's stuff on you?"
"Hehe, I said why did the third sister look for me, it turned out to be looking for her. She didn't like the jade bracelet you gave her, so she gave it to me. Sima Hui always had a smile on his face, as if he was very happy.
"I see. Fifth brother, tell me that Sima Jing's girl didn't enter the secret realm?" asked Sima Lan.
"No, I don't. What's wrong with the third sister, that girl provoked you again?"
"Hmph, my Phantom Grass is gone, and I suspect she's ruined my good deeds. ”
"No, even if she doesn't know what to do, she knows how important the elixir is to you, and it's definitely not her. Third sister, are you thinking about it?" Sima Hui said hurriedly, not believing Sima Lan's words at all.
Sima Hui's figure of Zhang Yifan appeared in his mind.
"Could it be him?" Sima Hui thought to himself.
"Hmph, it's not who she is, only you and her know about me. Fifth brother, you are distracted. Sima Lan was very dissatisfied with Sima Hui's distraction.
"Oh, I was thinking about the third sister just now. By the way, Third Sister, as far as I know, isn't there a kid with you? What about that person?" Sima Hui hurriedly asked.
"Don't mention him, the man is separated from me. Sima Lan didn't want to say more.
"I see. ”
"What are you doing here? Do you want to enter the Phantom Bear Cave?"
"Why, I'm just searching for treasures here, and I'm leaving. Does the third sister want to go in?"
"Forget it, don't go in. I have other things to do, so I'll go first. ”
Seeing that Sima Hui didn't seem to be abnormal, Sima Lan took Yan Ming away after chatting a few words, looking for other best elixirs that would be useful to her.
Yan Ming, who was behind him, glanced at Sima Hui and the three of them meaningfully, gestured his hand slightly, and left without saying anything.
Watching Sima Lan and the others walk away, Sima Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young master, what does Yan Ming seem to have discovered?" said one of the silver-armored monks.
"I didn't expect to be able to hide it from him, he actually has a secret technique that can peek through the disguise and go straight to the source, which is similar to his mighty eye, and few people know it. I'm not sure I'll be able to hide it from him, let alone you. However, as a Confucian monk, he did not dare to intervene in the disputes of my royal monks. Sima Hui analyzed.
"Looking at him, it doesn't seem that he is afraid of this, he should also know that you are the tenth princess, not the fifth prince, otherwise he would not have secretly drawn a cross symbol. Another silver-armored monk said.
Sima Hui was the one who used the Changing Feather Strange Treasure to change and change his appearance.
"Since he didn't reveal it, he also had his reasons for coming, I heard that Li Yuan and Yan Ming got along very well, and I guess this is also a reason. Sima Jing said.
"Let's go, it doesn't mean much here, with Li Yuan's strength, he should be able to protect himself here, don't worry. ”
"Yes, young master!"
