Chapter 268 Sacrifice: The Realm of Golden Elixir!
Chapter 268 Sacrifice: The Realm of Golden Elixir!
"Your humble servant Gao Qinian greets the Grand Commander."
In the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Gao Qinian, who had recovered from his injury, bowed to Jiang Che, no longer as arrogant as before.
In fact, Jiang Che did not use cruel means on him at the beginning. With the support of the powerful resources of the Tiannan Gao family, his injury had long been recovered. The reason for delaying was that he did not want to face Jiang Che.
After all, if he was more than twice as old as Jiang Che, and was robbed of his position by Jiang Che and defeated in public, he would not be able to lower his face and be humble.
The reason why he put down his face now was mainly because of the family's order, and the defeat of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect Lei Ting made him look better.
Even if he thought highly of himself, he did not think he could be on par with the martial arts genius like Lei Ting.
With the other party as a foil, his defeat was really nothing.
In addition, his secret line in Tiannan had already reported to him that Jiang Che had taken advantage of his absence in recent times to eliminate dissidents and develop his own power.
If he waited a little longer, the relationships he had developed in Tiannan City for many years might be uprooted by Jiang Che.
He could no longer hide it, both emotionally and logically.
The head of the family had already told him that the family had reached an agreement with the Qi family of Beiling. Jiang Che would be transferred from the Grand Commander of Tiannan Pass within three years at the latest, and he would be recommended to take over at that time.
All these factors combined made Gao Qinian feel complicated and disappointed when facing Jiang Che.
Jiang Che stood up and walked around the table, walked towards Gao Qinian step by step, helped him up personally, and said with a smile:
"General Gao's return from injury is a blessing for our Tiannan City. Jiang is not talented and has little experience, so he still needs someone with rich experience like General Gao to assist him.
General Gao, please don't take the offense in the past to heart."
Jiang Che stared at the other party with a smile, with a very warm expression. The second elder Qi Tianhe had already informed him of Gao Qinian's return, hoping that he would not be too impulsive.
The Gao family is too powerful in Tiannan after all.
It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that Tiannan belongs to the Gao family, but the Gao family has been operating in the area of thousands of miles in Tiannan for hundreds of years, and it can be said that they have a deep foundation. If they become enemies, it will be a troublesome matter.
Moreover, the Gao family is not a simple Jianghu force like the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect. The Tiannan Gao family and the Beiling Qi family have already reached out to the court.
In the absence of deep hatred, it is the best policy to turn hostility into friendship.
Jiang Che has no objection to this.
The reason why he attacked Gao Qinian at the beginning was just to establish his prestige, and he also knew the severity of the situation. He just defeated him and did not do anything ruthless, just to have room for maneuver in the future.
Now, under the pressure of the Beiling Qi family, the Gao family chose to reconcile, which is a good thing for both parties.
Of course, reconciliation is reconciliation, but Jiang Che did not relax his vigilance.
He was not naive enough to think that after the reconciliation, the grudges would be completely resolved. Now it was just because of the pressure from the Beiling Qi family, plus the extraordinary means he showed after taking office.
The Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect has been temporarily forbearing since Lei Ting was defeated, and even though the Ning Wang Mansion was destroyed by Yuanhe Mountain, it did not directly tear its face off. The Gao family's idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight was also shattered.
The current reconciliation seemed more like a helpless move in Jiang Che's eyes.
"I dare not, I dare not praise you, General."
Gao Qinian quickly declined.
"Haha. Come. Sit down." Jiang Che motioned Gao Qinian to sit down, and once again expressed his attitude with a smile:
"To be honest, Jiang is just here to get a promotion, and has no intention of deepening his roots in Tiannan City. In a few years at most, Jiang will be transferred away from here.
As long as General Gao works hard, this position will be yours sooner or later."
"Your subordinate will follow the general's lead."
Gao Qinian didn't know whether he believed Jiang Che's words, but at least he still looked excited on the surface.
"There is no need for so much between you and me. We can discuss it on weekdays. Someone, have someone prepare a banquet. Today, I will not go home until I am drunk with Brother Gao." After a few polite words, Jiang Che ordered the people around him.
"Your subordinate. Thank you, sir."
Although Gao Qinian also knew that Jiang Che's words were half true and half false, it was indeed comfortable to hear, and it gave him a way out. Even though he was quite scheming, he was very excited at the moment.
"Don't say thank you, drink a few more glasses later."
The banquet was over, Gao Qinian was also helped away by his guards. Jiang Che's originally slightly red face quickly recovered, and he chuckled at Gao Qinian's back.
Discussed?
Of course, this is a joke.
One order, and the soldiers in the city can only listen to him.
Now it's just to appease the other party. Jiang Che doesn't ask Gao Qinian to help. As long as the Tiannan Gao family doesn't cause trouble, he is willing to divide a part of the benefits.
After all, Jiang Che never values official positions.
But his own strength.
This is a realistic world. As long as he has strong strength, official positions and grades are within his reach.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Che got up and walked towards the secret room in the backyard, ready to continue the sacrifice.
Although he has just broken through the peak of the True Dan not long ago, he has never been satisfied. His goal is always the next sacrifice. It just so happens that there is nothing else to bother him now.
It's a good time to find a sacrifice.
He wants to sacrifice quietly, and then... shock everyone.
In the secret room, Jiang Che had a serious expression on his face and slowly closed his eyes.
His mind also sank into the space of the Heavenly Monument.
[Sacrifice target: Breakthrough Golden Pill! 】
On the inscription, mysterious lines lit up one after another for more than ten breaths. Finally, a line of small words slowly appeared on the inscription.
[Sacrifice price: one thousand yuan crystals, one Qiqiao Exquisite Fruit, one thousand-year-old cicada spirit leaf, one yin-yang spiritual fire, one three-life golden lotus seed. If the life span is reduced by ten years and the remaining life is one hundred and fifty years, do you want to sacrifice it? ? 】
When Jiang Che saw the sacrifice clearly, his face suddenly darkened.
This time the sacrifice seems to be a bit over the top.
The above four kinds of spiritual objects are almost all treasures at the divine level.
It is definitely not something that Grandmaster Xuandan can touch.
Especially the Three-Sheng Golden Lotus Seed. Even though this thing is recorded in the Qi Family's secret book, it is a very rare treasure of heaven and earth. It transforms once every thousand years. Only after three transformations can it become a medicine.
Its value is even higher than that of Jiuqu Scrophulariaceae.
The yin and yang spiritual fire is not bad either. This thing is relatively rare in the world, and it is not a spiritual object. To be precise, it is a kind of spiritual fire that can be refined by warriors.
The value of the Qiqiao Exquisite Fruit and the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf are lower in comparison, but they are also very rare things, no less valuable than the Qingmingyun Divine Lotus.
Jiang Che didn't know why the difficulty suddenly increased this time.
Is it because of the golden elixir?
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
He knows that there are differences among warriors' golden elixirs, and the quality of the golden elixir determines the future foundation of the warrior, because the golden elixir has begun to contain the spirit.
How far you can go in the divine realm depends entirely on Yun Shen.
Dispersing his thoughts, Jiang Che thought of the previous sacrifices to the Heavenly Monument, for example, on the skills, whether it was Man Niu Jin or Qinglong Zhenhai Sutra, whenever it was perfected.
It will make it change and move towards a more magical place.
And the sacrifices this time are so demanding, does it mean that the golden elixir condensed is also different?
Thinking of this, Jiang Che felt a little better.
The Xuan Dan is the core of a warrior, and the Golden Dan is the core of the core. It will mean that if his Nascent Soul in the future can undergo magical changes at the foundation, it will only benefit in the future.
Take a deep breath.
Jiang Che prepared to adjust the order of the several sacrifices. At present, Yuan Jing and Shou Yuan were not a problem for him at all. Even if they were doubled, he could bear them.
As for the remaining four spiritual objects, there is currently no news about the Three Lives Golden Lotus Seeds and Yin-Yang Spiritual Fire. We can only slowly collect and investigate traces, but the first two.
He already had some eyebrows.
Zhou Yi, the Minister of War of the South Vietnam Kingdom, visited him before. When trading with him, he mentioned the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaves and the Seven-Orificed Exquisite Fruit, saying that these things had been snatched away by the Red-Blooded Demon Lord.
The Scarlet Blood Demon Lord has already fallen, leaving only a Scarlet Blood Secret Realm, which has a high probability of containing this object.
If he wanted to get two spiritual objects, he had to go there.
Jiang Che rubbed the slight stubble of his beard, his eyes a little confused.
According to past experience, although the sacrifices given by the Sacrifice Sky Monument are difficult, they basically revolve around him. Only if he hopes to get them will the sacrifices be listed.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
He had long wanted to go to the Crimson Blood Secret Realm, and half of the sacrifices were related to the Crimson Blood Secret Realm. If there was no connection, Jiang Che would never believe it.
It can only be said that it is time and destiny, and the Red Blood Secret Realm is indeed destined for him.
If you think more deeply, it may be a coincidence that the Ten Thousand Tribulation Demonic Sword fell into his hands. He and the once powerful Scarlet Blood Demon Lord were indeed destined!
However, the top priority now is to let Princess Ning investigate the specific location of the secret realm. He has no interest in exploring the secret realm with the people of Nanyue anyway.
Since the things inside are destined to him, they should be his.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Since the sacrifice that day, Jiang Che has become more and more interested in the Red Blood Secret Realm. On the one hand, he has continued to deepen his friendship with Princess Ning, speeding up her investigation.
On the other hand, through his own power, he began to offer rewards to find the whereabouts of the Yin Yang Spirit Fire and the Three Lives Golden Lotus Seeds.
Although these spiritual objects are difficult to find, if he doesn't work hard, the spiritual objects will not come to him in vain.
However, the previous dilemma reappeared. News of the two spiritual creatures spread for several days without any trace. Prince Ning's Mansion also seemed to be at a standstill for the time being.
Even if it is urged, there is no rush.
Gradually, Jiang Che began to calm down.
Now that the general area of the secret realm has been found, it is only a matter of time before the final confirmation. There is no need to rush, and there is no need to rush. For this reason, Jiang Che began to comfort himself and calm down.
Every day he either meditates or practices, or has fun with Huang Shanshan and Qi Ningbing.
It also allowed him to have a few leisurely days.
Of course, Jiang Che is not completely calm. In fact, he is also practicing, exploring the way to the golden elixir in the future, and preparing for future breakthroughs.
At the same time, Qi Ningbing’s cultivation is also being stabilized.
The spiritual elixir he brought back from Tiansha City last time was prepared for Qi Ningbing. Now the other party has broken through to the peak state of divine light, and is only one step away from the mysterious elixir.
And when Qi Ningbing formed the elixir, the Xuanyin spiritual energy was completely formed.
Jiang Che has actually been preparing for future sacrifices, whether it is Jiuqu Scrophulariaceae or Xuanyin spiritual energy, especially Xuanyin spiritual energy. This thing can be integrated with Yuanyin spiritual energy in Qi Wanjun.
It turned into a ray of Taiyin Xuanyuan spiritual energy.
This is one of the best offerings to break through the divine form.
Since Jiang Che learned about this from Qi Ningbing, he has already begun to covet it. For this reason, he also specially helped the other party to cultivate that spiritual energy and resisted the idea of refining it.
Now Qi Wanjun is in the process of making a breakthrough. With her qualifications and foundation, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to form an elixir. She only needs Qi Ningbing to form an elixir and she can use it at any time.
"Ning Bing, my brother-in-law is doing this for your own good. You see, Wanjun has already gone into seclusion to form elixirs. You don't want to be dragged too far by her, right?" In the backyard, Jiang Che looked at Qi Ningbing, who was a little tired of practicing. Tip said.
Qi Ningbing rolled her eyes at Jiang Che and snorted:
"It's high-sounding, do you think I don't know that you are here for Xuanyin's energy?"
"Ning Bing, you have hurt your brother-in-law's heart too much. Although I value the Qi of Xuanyin, I value you even more. I want to spend this life with you, but if your cultivation level is too low, your longevity will be insufficient.
When the time comes, don't you want to leave me early? "
Jiang Che had a deep look on his face, as if he was sighing about the future.
Affected by her emotions, Qi Ningbing's face became a little unsightly. She hugged Jiang Che's waist and sighed softly:
"I know, I will practice hard, and I will definitely form an elixir before you break through the divine form."
"Ning Bing, you know, that's not what I meant."
"Okay, don't explain, it's not important. Since I revealed the secret of Taiyin Xuanyuan Spiritual Energy to you, I just hope that you can use it in the future.
But the question now is, how do we convince my sister? "
Thinking of Qi Wanjun, Qi Ningbing had a headache.
The more she was with Jiang Che, the more reluctant she was to let go. At the same time, she felt even more guilty towards her sister Qi Wanjun. At first, she was thinking about many ideas to persuade her sister to agree, but when she thought of meeting her sister.
She didn't know what to say.
What to say?
Could it be that I'm sorry, sister, please forgive me?
Or should I ask her to fulfill my wish?
This may not be difficult, but what is really difficult is getting her sister to accept this relationship. She and Qi Wanjun grew up together, and they know each other's temperaments very well, and they know that her sister's temperament is the most stubborn.
It is almost impossible to agree to share the same husband.
But without her sister, how could she enjoy Jiang Che's favor with peace of mind?
Jiang Che also fell into deep thought after hearing these words.
Seeing that Qi Wanjun is about to make a breakthrough, she will definitely come to Tiannan by then. How to convince her?
