Noon.

The east wing of the Great Rich Inn.

Sun Taiyang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his left hand slowly turned the white jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, thoughtfully.

This trip to Shifang Ancient Town, since he hit the door, he has been faintly uneasy, and always inexplicably feels that there will be a little uncontrollable accident. As Wu Zhong said, when he received the order from Lord Otani, he didn't even know the real reason why Xingshi had moved the crowd to come here.

Lord Otani's order was concise and to the point, and he found an inn to stay in and await further instructions.

If it weren't for the fact that the Second Valley Lord and the Third Valley Lord had the intention to cultivate and secretly revealed some information to him, he wouldn't even know that the Great Valley Lord had obtained the [Nirvana Dan] formula.

This is not only distrust, but also an insult to him, as the deputy hall master of the Martial Arts Hall.

Because before that, he didn't know as much as Wu Zhong.

He didn't dare to hold a grudge against Lord Otani, but he absolutely hated Oji-naka. In his eyes, Wang Zizhong is a damn bloodsucking mosquito, always buzzing around his ears when he is resting, but he can't hit it.

This sense of powerlessness and helplessness made him irritable and furious.

Although he and Wang Zizhong are in the same martial arts hall, one hall master and one deputy hall master, they seem to have a face and heart on weekdays, but secretly they are calculating each other and hurting each other.

This kind of bad situation, between the three valley masters, why is it not the same?

Twenty years ago, he and Wang Zizhong were the same Seven Star Realm Ten Heavens Great Perfection, and they could cross the tribulation at any time, and once they succeeded, they could step into the Liuhe Realm of thousands of years of immortality and immortality.

However, the two of them had limited opportunities, and they were unable to attract the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder for a long time. The mystery in this lies in the fact that no one can expand even the slightest amount of Qi Sea capacity.

This truth is like a glass of water, which has reached the limit of its capacity, but it cannot overflow.

In other words, no matter who expands the Qi Sea first, it is equivalent to breaking the limit of the True Yuan that the Seven Star Realm can hold, and having the Qi Sea pattern of the Liuhe Realm.

Only in this way can we attract the thunder of heaven and thunder.

A hundred years ago, that is, when the demons of the Lin clan were ravaging the surrounding areas of the Southern Vermilion Bird Sea, the Eight Great Sects and the Southern Vermilion Bird King led the city lords of the Nine Heavenly Cities to assist the Immortal Dao Alliance in slaying demons and demons in the war, the sword god Ji Shakong teamed up with Shen Zhongyang, the leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance, to kill several thousand-year-old poisonous Jiao, and obtained the treasure in the eyes of an unknown number of monks - [Haina Baichuan Pearl], that is, the demon pill of the thousand-year-old poisonous Jiao.

This kind of [Sea Hundred River Pearl] is not of much use to the monks of the Upper Five Realms, but for the monks of the Lower Five Realms, it is a superb treasure that can be encountered but not sought. Especially the Seven Star Realm and Liuhe Realm monks who are about to break through the realm, just because the [Sea Hundred River Pearl] can break the Qi Sea pattern.

After the war, Shen Zhongyang discussed with the Great King of Lingxiao Imperial City and decided to give each of the eight major sects a reward. The one in Miaoyin Valley was naturally kept by Lord Otani and reserved for a certain member of the sect who was about to break through.

At that time, in the entire Miaoyin Valley, in addition to the three valley masters who had already stepped into the Five Elements Realm of the Upper Five Realms, there were still nearly a hundred elders, Dharma protectors, hall masters, and deputy hall masters who were all stranded in the Liuhe Realm and the Seven Star Realm. Coincidentally, none of these sect members had reached the Great Consummation of the Ten Heavens of the Liuhe Realm, and the closest one was only the Eight Heavens of the Liuhe Realm.

Although it is only a gap between two small realms, it may take two hundred years, or even longer, to fill these two small realms.

And the Seven Star Realm Ten Heavens Great Consummation is precisely the only one who is him and Wang Zizhong.

Choosing one or the other, it's a difficult choice.

After the three valley lords discussed, they decided to use the simplest method to draw lots to determine the ownership of the [Haina Baichuan Pearl]. That is, take two pieces of white silk, write the names of Wang Zizhong and Sun Taiyang respectively, put them in an invisible urn, and the lord of Otani will randomly take out a piece of white silk under the witness of everyone, and whoever has the name written on it, [Haina Baichuan Zhu] will belong to whom.

This is purely a method of luck, and the two have no objection, and they have no choice.

In front of the two of them, Lord Otani wrote his name on two pieces of white silk, crumpled them together, threw them into the urn and shook them a few times, then reached out and grabbed a ball of white silk, and after unfolding it, it was written on it Wang Zizhong.

Sun Taiyang had nothing to say, only blamed himself for his bad luck, and he was also convinced at that time.

Not long after, the prince succeeded in crossing the catastrophe and stepped into the Liuhe realm.

And Sun Taiyang finally learned from the hints of the second valley lord and the third valley lord that the big valley lord deceived and favored Wang Zizhong. It's just that the wood has been completed, and it is in vain.

Besides, Sun Taiyang's methods were heard and witnessed by the Lord of the Great Valley, so he naturally dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and he had the right to act as if none of this had happened. It's just that although Sun Taiyang is jealous of Lord Dagu, it doesn't mean that he will let Wang Zizhong go. Over the years, with the secret assistance of the second valley lord and the third valley lord, he has been thinking about destroying Wang Zizhong and replacing him all the time.

Just like this time when he came to Shifang Ancient Town, if he could perform well, coupled with the sponsorship of the Second Valley Lord and the Third Valley Lord, there would be no suspense in kicking Wang Zizhong off the position of the Hall Master of the Martial Arts.

Sun Taiyang already knew that the [Nirvana Dan] was very important to the Great Valley Lord.

In contrast, Lord Otani's private friendship with Wang Zizhong is undoubtedly not worth mentioning.

The problem is that the Second Valley Lord and the Third Valley Lord also seem to be bound to [Nirvana Dan], as for the reason, he doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.

In this game of power, a pawn like him is shown to be more ignorant and safer.

However, it was almost an impossible task to gather the five best ingredients on the [Nirvana Dan] formula. He learned from the Lord of the Three Valleys that the ways to obtain these five superb materials were interlocking, and only by first obtaining the [Mobei Purple Fruit] in the secret treasure house of the Tianshou City City Lord's Mansion and using it as bait could he lure the thousand-year-old python on Changyou Mountain to appear, and after killing it, he could obtain the [Python's Horn]. Then use [Python's Horn] to find the third best material.

And so on, all of them are indispensable.

In fact, even if it is [Mobei Purple Fruit], it is not easy to get it.

Cao Tianshou, the city lord of Tianshou City, is definitely a ruthless character, maybe he doesn't know the true value of [Mobei Purple Fruit], but Miaoyin Valley wants to get [Mobei Purple Fruit] from this indispensable guy, and it is absolutely impossible to ask for it.

It is true that the strength of Miaoyin Valley is far above Tianshou City, and if it starts fighting head-on, it will be able to fully capture Tianshou City in a month at most. But this is obviously unrealistic, because there is no reason to go to war at all, and even if there is, the Southern Suzaku King will definitely intervene strongly.

In the territory of the Suzaku Dynasty, the nine heavenly cities, eighteen prefecture towns, including the ten important towns are all under the jurisdiction of the Southern Vermilion Bird King, and the safety of any city and town is closely related to him, and it is absolutely impossible to let a heavenly city fall under the Miaoyin Valley.

Although Miaoyin Valley is strong, it definitely does not have the tough foundation of nine cities and eighteen towns. Besides, Miaoyin Valley is also in the territory of the Suzaku Dynasty, and it really has a hard fight with the Southern Vermilion Bird King, and in the end, the ironclad vitality is greatly damaged.

The people in power in Miaoyin Valley have not been stupid enough to have the idea of looking down on the world, after all, the Vermilion Bird Dynasty has a harder background, and that is the terrifying existence that Miaoyin Valley is destined to never be provoked - the Great King of Lingxiao Imperial City.

The Immortal Dao Alliance is one of the few that can shake the power of the Great King on the Obsidian Continent.

In addition, if the eight major sects join forces, they may be able to do it.

But in both cases, it is almost impossible to happen, and no one wants a lose-lose ending.

What's more, the demons of the four clans of Demon Beasts, Feathers, Scales, and Insects have been lurking for a hundred years, and they have long been ready to move, just waiting to break out one day.

Then there is a mysterious New Year's Party and a sect that only exists in legends - the Martial God Temple.

It is unrealistic to rob [Mobei Purple Fruit], and it is unlikely to exchange things for things. People like Cao Tianshou who are indiscriminate are often thoughtful, shrewd and cunning. He only needed to think about it with his toes, and he could guess that the [Mobei Purple Fruit] must be priceless, otherwise how could it alarm Miaoyin Valley?

Once this kind of horse's feet are exposed, it is even more difficult to get the [Mobei Purple Fruit].

Moreover, Miaoyin Valley has developed rapidly over the years, and the territory of the sect has expanded day by day, and it has approached dozens of mountains on the outskirts of Tianshou City, and five of them are one of the most important sources of funds for Tianshou City. These mountains are rich in all kinds of ores and medicinal materials, which are Cao Tianshou's baby bumps, and if they are included in the territory of the sect by Miaoyin Valley, it will be tantamount to asking for his old life.

However, for the expansion of any sect, the Immortal Dao Alliance is clearly supported to the end, and the development principle of the sect is also completely in line with the Immortal Dao Alliance's consistent recognition of the law of the jungle.

In view of this, Cao Tianshou had a hard time, even if he turned to the Great King and the Southern Vermilion Bird King, it had little effect.

In these clever games of supreme power, his qualifications are limited to being on the edge, just like being on a cliff, he always has to hold on to both hands, and he does not dare to let go of either side.

One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds.

It's just that Cao Tianshou is by no means the kind of person who sits idly by, and while always guarding against Miaoyin Valley, he must be secretly prepared. When Miaoyin Valley cuts directly into his territory, he will definitely not hesitate to fight.

When the situation is so bad that he can't clean it up, there will naturally be a great king to negotiate with the Immortal Dao Alliance to clean up the mess.

Sun Taiyang, as the deputy hall master of the Miaoyin Valley Martial Arts Hall, although he is not in a high position, he still knows the information of hostile and friendly forces that are closely related to the sect.

Undoubtedly, what Sun Taiyang was most concerned about now was how to get the [Mobei Purple Fruit] from Tianshou City first? After all, Wang Zizhong would soon follow the Second Valley Lord and the Third Valley Lord to Shifang Ancient Town, and it would definitely get in the way.

It's just that he can't figure out how the Lord of the Great Valley plans to get the [Mobei Purple Fruit] from the hostile Cao Tianshou?

"Deputy Hall Master, it's already noon, what do you want to eat?" a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall asked softly outside the No. 1 Wing.

"Two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish...... Is it noon? Don't prepare for it, you can eat first. Sun Taiyang was slightly stunned, and then remembered that Wu Zhong, the Yang family brothers, and his two apprentices had gone out and had not come back yet.

When Xu Rulin came to see Wu Zhong as a servant of the Lizheng Mansion, Sun Taiyang naturally heard the content of the conversation between the few people clearly in the wing. In the past few days, Wu Zhong also mentioned to him Li Tianyi and his person, a person who has no immortal fate but wants to join the sect to find a sense of existence, a stupid waste with a lot of money.

For example, a gentleman like Li Tianyi, even if there are more gold beads, Sun Taiyang is not the slightest interested, in the eyes of a monk like him who is bent on breaking through the realm, yellow and white things are like dung.

Although Sun Taiyang was quite confident in the golden sign of Miaoyin Valley, and Shifang Ancient Town was definitely not a place where anyone dared to act recklessly, he still had a faint feeling in his heart that something was wrong and felt that it was necessary to go to the wild boar forest.

The life and death of Wu Zhong and the Yang brothers is his business, and it is best to die all. However, Wang Zhennan and Li Ziqing are both his apprentices, and the reason why he wants to match these two people is only because he found out in Wanhualou that Li Ziqing's immortal body and five elements belong to water, and Wang Zhennan's immortal body and five elements belong to wood, which is the best choice for complementary and complementary combined double cultivation.

In fact, Sun Taiyang didn't have a choice, Li Ziqing worked hard in bed, which made him want to die. However, the five elements of his immortal body belong to fire, so it is okay to have fun, but double cultivation is incompatible with fire and water.

Thinking of competing for the throne with Wang Zizhong, Sun Taiyang did not hesitate to spend hundreds of thousands of gold beads to redeem Li Ziqing, and even brought him back to Miaoyin Valley as a closed disciple. tried to make Li Ziqing and Wang Zhennan combine and double cultivate, advance by leaps and bounds, and trampled Wu Zhong under his feet in the annual sect competition, and then tried to choose the position of the master of the martial arts hall every five years.

It's a pity that it backfired. At first, Wang Zhennan accepted his arrangement, and the two of them talked to each other. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Li Ziqing's reputation was outside, and his true identity was soon discovered by the rest of his classmates, Wang Zhennan naturally quickly knew the truth of the matter, and gradually alienated Li Ziqing, but because of the teacher's life, he never tore his face.

Sun Taiyang is miserable, hundreds of thousands of gold beads are just a trivial matter, and it is a pity that the wishful thinking of the combined double cultivation is empty, and what is even more hateful is that Sun Taiyang made a secret investigation and learned that the shameless villain who ruined his good deeds was Wu Zhong.

This is undoubtedly hatred on revenge, hatred on hate, if you don't kill this master and apprentice, sooner or later you will be suffocated to death by a bad breath.
