Chapter 344 Sword Fight
It is a universal truth that cultivators fear power but not virtue.
But the Far West is an exception.
The cultivators here have lived on isolated islands overseas for a long time, and are less affected by the evil winds and evil spirits of the outside world. They still uphold the ancient legacy and are most grateful for the kindness they have received.
Of course, this characteristic may also be one of the reasons why they are so poor.
And Su Qing can be respected as a saint master by them. With just one word, he can make the sword cultivators of the hall raise their swords to help regardless of the opponent, but only ask the time and place.
It is because, in the past six months, the help he, Su Qing, has given to the Far West is really too great.
Why is the Far West poor?
First, the Far West is bitter and cold, which is not as good as the Wan Yao Kingdom, which has a mountain range of hundreds of beasts, natural materials and treasures, and endless spiritual beasts and rare treasures. You don’t need to work hard, you can be a rich man just sitting there.
Second, they are not good at practicing all arts. Trapped by the bitter cold of the Far West, few monks who have practiced all arts are willing to go to the Far West to preach. Even if they save money and use their life money to hire some professionals to preach in the Far West, compared with the huge population base of the Far West, it is still a drop in the bucket and cannot form an atmosphere of national practice like the fairy countries in the West Sea.
They cannot change the innate conditions of the bitter cold of the Far West.
But they can work hard to popularize and develop the practice of all arts in the Far West.
Since Su Qing reached a Taoist agreement with Ji Yongen and representatives of several large tribes in the Far West to jointly develop the Jingguang Stone Mine in the Far West.
Su Qing, who has occupied 80% of the shares of this mine with the Master of All Laws Puppet and the Dagger Missile Puppet, has been fulfilling his promise in the past six months.
A third-level Dagger Missile Puppet and hundreds of first- and second-level Master of All Laws Puppet were shipped to the Far West five months ago.
According to the feedback from the Extreme West, the Master Puppet of All Laws is very popular in the Extreme West. Based on the Master Puppet of All Laws, the entire Extreme West is now opening a cultivation school to popularize the cultivation of the Hundred Arts.
This is only the first batch. According to the Dao agreement between Jianlai Hall and Su Qing, the second batch of puppets will be shipped out to sea in another month. Among this ship of puppets, there are even third-level formation master puppets, which can teach the third-level formation to the cultivators in the Extreme West!
If it continues to develop like this, in a hundred years, the development of the cultivation of the Hundred Arts in the Extreme West will leap to a higher level. At least some of the cultivation materials that are not yet in the order or the first order can be refined by themselves, and there is no need to travel across the ocean to buy them at high prices from the outside world.
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. Su Qing's Master Puppet of All Laws makes the Extreme West promising in the future.
Such a good man, calling him a Saint Master, is the feeling of many sword cultivators in Jianlai Hall, and they are willing to do so.
Anyone who wants to touch their Saint Master will be at odds with the hundreds of thousands of sword cultivators in Jianlai Hall and the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Extreme West!
"Is it that the Qingtian Wuchang of the Law Enforcement Hall is ignorant, or is it that the Blood Emperor of the Dusk Society is itching for trouble? Saint Master, just say it, even if we don't stay in Wanghai anymore, we will chop them down!"
Ji Yongen rubbed his hands excitedly when he learned that Su Qing was coming. He had no burden to help him chop people, and even looked forward to it.
They are all honest people. Although they sold the Jingguang Stone Mine to Su Qing, the mine is still lying in the ground of the Extreme West, and Su Qing's puppet Extreme West has begun to enjoy it.
This makes the simple sword cultivators always feel uncomfortable, as if they owe Su Qing, and they have to help Su Qing chop a few people to repay his kindness.
The sword of the sword cultivator is not easy to hide, but his mind is easy to guess.
Su Qing is also very satisfied with these partners who have mines at home and can fight outside.
Sitting on a high seat in Jianlai Hall, he bowed to Ji Yongen and said:
"Fellow Daoist, you know that I am a person who values harmony and wealth. I rarely have conflicts with others, let alone life-and-death enemies that require swords and knives.
This time I came to your hall, not to seek the help of the high cultivators, but to ask for something!"
"Oh, not to kill people?" Ji Yongen muttered in disappointment, and then said:
"Fellow Daoist, just tell me what you need, and I can give you whatever I want in Jianlai Hall!"
The broken boat still has three pounds of nails. Although the land in the far west is hard, there are some treasures accumulated over the years. Most of them were brought out by the group of sword cultivators in Jianlai Hall to protect themselves when they ventured outside.
Ji Yongen was very generous and generous to say that the treasures in the hall were free to Su Qing. Su Qing felt that his previous judgment was correct.
These second-generation miners are worthy of friendship!
"A fourth-level Dachun wood core. I heard that only your hall has one in Wanghai City. I was in a hurry to use it, so I had to come to your house to bother you. Don't worry, I won't take your money for nothing. I will give you as many spirit stones as you deserve!"
Su Qing knew that the sword cultivators in Jianlai Hall were suffering, so he didn't think of taking advantage of them. He would offer whatever price they wanted as long as they were willing to sell it.
"Dachun wood core, this hall does have it, and not just one, but two!"
Since Ji Yongen was able to put the Dachun wood core up for auction before, this treasure was certainly not something they couldn't give up. As long as the price was right, they could sell it to anyone, not to mention that it was Saint Master Su Qing who came forward.
"There are two? That's great, I'll take both, just make an offer!"
Su Qing's eyes lit up, two would be good, originally one was given to the four lions, he was afraid that the effect would not be good, affecting the potential of these puppets and wasting the virtual and real Dao patterns, now there are two, in the future these four virtual and real lions will be promoted to the fourth level at the same time, there will be no problem.
Ji Yongen saw that Su Qing was so interested in the big cypress wood core, but his face showed some embarrassment, hesitating:
"Originally there were two, but now there is only one left. The other one is in the hands of my junior brother Jifeng Jianye Suo. A few years ago, my junior brother was bewitched by the fox girl and was no longer under the control of our Jianlai Hall. If the Saint Master wants his one, it will be a bit difficult.
I can give this one to the Saint Master now, but the Saint Master needs to know that this big chun wood is divided into male and female. The spiritual power and vitality contained in the male tree is far greater than that of the female tree, and it can command the female tree. In front of the male tree, the female tree can only bow its head and submit!"
Big chun wood is a specialty of the extreme west. This tree can produce chun wood fruit, which tastes like the meat of a spirit beast. One is enough to fill a person's stomach for several days. The leaves and bark can be used to weave simple robes, which have the effect of exorcising evil spirits and preventing cold. The tree hole can be hollowed out and used as a spiritual house to resist the invasion of the ubiquitous Guixu wind in the extreme west.
The whole body is a treasure. A big chun tree is an important asset of the Jixi family. The growth and grade of this tree are related to the status of the family in the tribe and whether the men in the family can marry a wife. Therefore, the Jixi immortals take great care of the big chun trees.
In this way, every household raises trees, and only then can they grow a few fourth-level big chun trees. The two big chun wood cores brought to Wanghai by Ji Yongen and others were left behind when two fourth-level big chun wood spirits exhausted their vitality and died in order to suppress the underground evil spirits during the Jixi underground riot more than ten thousand years ago.
"Since there are male and female, Daoyou, as the master of Jianlai Hall, the one in your hand should be the male one, right?" Su Qing was not very interested in the significance of the big chun wood to the Jixi immortals, and only wanted the male one.
"Of course it's female. Ye Suo is a rare swordsman in my sect. My master once said that he has the appearance of a Nascent Soul and can glimpse the realm of a fourth-level swordsman. The male toon wood core has long been refined into a magic sword by him, which can produce ten thousand swords with one sword.
To be honest with you, Saint Master, what we auctioned before was also the female toon wood core in my hand, which was the intention that if someone else got this core, they would be defeated by the toon wood sword in Ye Suo's hand!"
Ji Yongen openly admitted the fact that he was not as good as Ye Suo.
This could not be concealed. After Ye Suo abandoned Jianlai Hall and was bewitched by the fox girl, he took several third-level swordsmen from Jianlai Hall to fight Langyafang several times.
But they were all defeated by Ye Suo's sword. This matter was known to the whole city, and they all laughed at them for Jianlai Hall working hard to cultivate a third-level peak swordsman, but cultivated him for others.
When Su Qing heard that the male toon wood core was in the hands of the traitor Ye Suo, he also frowned, thinking that this matter was getting a little difficult.
The sword cultivators in Jianlai Hall looked honest, but they actually had some tricks in their minds. When they auctioned the female toon wood core in the past, they probably thought that they would use the male toon wood core to take back the female toon wood core after the auction.
Su Qing could not accept the consequences of the puppet made with the female toon wood core being controlled by Ye Suo's toon wood sword.
"In that case, I still need to go to Langyafang. I think that as a high-ranking cultivator from the Far West, Fellow Daoist Ye should be as reasonable as the other Daoists in Jianlai Hall and be willing to make a deal with me!"
"That beast Ye Suo only has women in his eyes now and can't tolerate anything else. If the Holy Master goes, we will follow him. The little beast now only follows Ling Ying's lead. We are afraid that he will harm the Holy Master!"
Although Ji Yongen hated the traitor Ye Suo, he still held the idea that he would return to the right path one day. When he heard that Su Qing was going to find Ye Suo, he was afraid that Ye Suo would hurt Su Qing, and he was also afraid that Su Qing would hurt Ye Suo. To be on the safe side, he took all the brothers with him to go with Su Qing.
Su Qing did not refuse this either. Although he was not afraid of Ye Suo, he had no idea how many dogs Ling Ying had raised in Langyafang over the years with his foxy skills. It was indeed safer to have a group of ruthless sword cultivators following him.
After agreeing to find Ye Suo, the transaction for the mother toon wood core in Ji Yongen's hand was completed extremely quickly.
Su Qing was a kind man, and Ji Yongen was also an honest man.
There was no bargaining process. Both parties directly used the starting price when they submitted it for auction that year as the basis, and changed the owner of this item at the price of 6,200 spirit stones.
When Su Qing led a group of fierce and ruthless sword cultivators out of the Jianlai Hall and rushed straight to Langyafang.
The cultivators in the entire Wanghai City who saw this scene were all terrified and retreated.
"Su Qing brought the people from Jianlai Hall to Langyafang!"
"What, Su Qing has set his eyes on the industry of Langyafang and wants to merge it with Su's Puppet Shop?"
"Ah, Su Qing has set his eyes on Ling Shangren and wants to force him home to be his Taoist partner!"
"Don't talk nonsense, the exact news is that Master Su is attracted by Ling Shangren's figure and appearance, and wants to make a real-life mold to refine a Ling Ying-style beauty puppet. Master Su's craftsmanship and his pursuit of perfection in puppets are really admirable!"
"Why did I hear that it was Taoist Su who was plotting against Langya Fairy Island and wanted to take Ling Ying Shangren and use Ling Ying Shangren's identity to lead 100,000 puppets to attack Langya Island!"
Su's Puppet Shop has been open for half a year, turning the original nine-strong situation in Wanghai into a ten-strong situation. As the owner of this shop, Su Qing's every word and action can be interpreted in countless versions in Wanghai City.
Not to mention the sword cultivators who came to the palace with swords today, marching out to Langyafang with great fanfare.
Something big must have happened.
There will definitely be excitement to watch.
Hu Gua, who loves to watch the excitement, held a melon and took his place outside Langyafang early, just waiting to eat a good melon, and according to the size and taste of the melon, he would spread the news to Wanghai and earn some insignificant intelligence fees.
And the melon-eating people in Xiancheng all learned that Su Qing was leading people to Langyafang.
Ling Ying and others in Langyafang knew the news early.
At this moment, the shop had already closed its doors, and the heroes in the shop gathered together, feeling as if they were facing a great enemy.
Ling Ying's beautiful eyes were full of spring, and her watery eyes wandered around the group of cultivators in front of her, making each cultivator feel that she was looking at them, and they all said that they were the ones she loved.
Ling Ying didn't think much of those useless lickers who had no resistance to her green fox spirit eyes. She only stayed a little longer on Ye Suo and other Jindan masters and third-level beings. These were all high-quality lickers, and she needed to spend more time on them.
It has been ten years since she came to Wanghai City alone from Langya Fairy Island.
In the past ten years, she has been working day and night, and the thing she has been thinking about all the time is to regain Langya Fairy Island, which has been run by her Yuanying father for many years.
It was a pity that the evil woman's methods were more clever than hers. Even if she used the assets in Langyafang and her own Jindan Dharma Image to win over several third-level Jindan in Wanghai City and make friends with many forces, it would be difficult to compete with the evil woman.
Unless she could use Su Daoren, who was now in the limelight in Wanghai City, for her own use.
This person's ability to refine puppets was several times stronger than that of the Duan family, which had been passed down for ten thousand years. Duan Yang and his kind were completely incomparable.
In addition to the ability to refine puppets, his own physical cultivation, plus the ability to control several third-level puppets to fight, was also one of the best in Wanghai City. Pure combat power, maybe stronger than Ye Suo under her?
Who is stronger, we will know after a try!
"Fellow Daoist Ye, Ling Ying has been trying to please Taoist Su these days, but Taoist Su only knows how to accept gifts and doesn't even give Ling Ying a chance to meet him alone. His attitude towards Ling Ying is obvious.
He must be like the other forces in Wanghai City, with ill intentions towards Ling Ying and the Langyafang industry!
This time, he brought his sword to the palace and the sword cultivators came uninvited, perhaps to show their true colors to Ling Ying. Fellow Daoist Ye, what do you think Ling Ying should do!"
Ling Ying turned sideways and looked at the soft and sticky voice. Ye Suo was shocked when he heard it. How could he bear to hurt such a treasure that made people want to hold it in their hands and protect it!
"Don't worry, Ying'er, I'm here, Taoist Su can't turn the world upside down!"
There were so many heroes in the room, but the only one Ling Ying could really rely on was Ye Suo!
Yesuo looked around at the dogs and barked even louder.
