Chapter 212: A Big Deal, a Consequence You Can’t Afford

There was a strange silence in the private room.

After a while, Chu Zheng whispered: "I'm married."

"I know."

Ye Yujiao's expression was calm: "It doesn't matter. I don't necessarily need the position of a head wife. I am both a practitioner. There is no need to care about these false names. What's more, Miss Song will not stay in Cangyun for long. You and I have a long time to live."

"It seems you know more news than I thought." Chu Zheng frowned slightly.

The monks of the Shang family are really capable. They can find out such secret information. They are worthy of being a family of immortal kings, and they have some background.

"Those hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones were well spent." Ye Yujiao was noncommittal.

"Why choose me?"

Chu Zheng asked casually, without saving any face for Ye Yujiao, and said bluntly:

"Your bone age is already thirty-one, and your cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Taoism. Although you are a top-grade immortal bone, it is too far from mine. Why should I marry you?"

"The Holy Lord is now the number one among the younger generation in Cangyun Realm. His talent, appearance and background are among the best. As for the most suitable husband, to me, there is no one other than the Holy Lord. "

Ye Yujiao looked calm, turned over her hands, took out a thin book, and pushed it in front of Chu Zheng:

"This is the dowry prepared for me by the Shenmu Pavilion. Please take a look at it, Holy Master."

"You seem to be discussing a business deal with me." Chu Zheng did not look at the gift list, and his eyebrows moved slightly.

"When the Holy Master and I met for the first time, there was naturally no talk of feelings. What's more, it would be a bit extravagant for a practitioner to talk about love."

Ye Yujiao said bluntly: "Shenmu Pavilion needs the Taixuan Holy Land in the future to rely on. Today's Taixuan needs the elixir resources of Shenmu Pavilion to increase its strength as soon as possible. This is the complementarity of the two."

"There are countless divine fires in Taixuan, and they also complement each other with the many alchemists in our Shenmu Pavilion. Therefore, this marriage is a win-win situation for Taixuan Holy Land and Shenmu Pavilion."

"If the Holy Master insists that this is a business, then the price is clearly stated and there is no deception."

Ye Yujiao's words were quite sincere, without any mincing words and straight to the point.

Chu Zheng didn't say anything and casually opened the gift list.

[Elixir: One]

[Half-Elixir: Ten pieces]

[Semi-elixir: thirty strains]

[The best elixir: one hundred pills]

…

The gift list lists more than thirty items in total. In addition to elixirs and spiritual herbs, it also includes many spiritual objects from heaven and earth, most of which are related to alchemy and are of inestimable value.

After seeing the gift list clearly, Chu Zheng couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes. Shenmu Pavilion's action was really generous, and there was a real elixir in it.

Judging from the current world environment in Cangyun Realm, this is most likely the only real elixir in Cangyun Realm.

Even in Taixuan Holy Land, which is rich in alchemists, there are no rare treasures like this passed down.

"Shenmu Pavilion is such a big deal."

Chu Zheng smiled lightly, closed the gift list, and pushed it back:

"I am actually quite selfish. I have been practicing so far. I only hope that everything in the world will not burden me. Shenmu Pavilion, including you, is a burden to me, not a help. I am afraid that this business will not be successful. ”

It's just an elixir. Now he has a lot of fragments of these ruined immortal treasures in his hands. Extracting all the immortal energy may be enough to repair an elixir.

The reason why he has not tried it is simply because he is a little reluctant to part with it. If all the fragments of the immortal treasure can be repaired, they will be of great use in the future.

He is not yet sure whether he can repair these fairy treasures after being promoted to the eighth level repair master, so he might as well wait a little longer.

Fortunately, Ye Yujiao did not discover the existence of his repair ability, which made Chu Zheng relieved.

"The Holy Lord's words are serious. Although the Shenmu Pavilion is not as numerous as the Holy Land, it can still be used in the Cangyun Realm and will not become a burden to the Holy Lord."

Ye Yujiao frowned imperceptibly, but her tone remained calm: "If the Holy Master feels that Yujiao's dowry is not generous enough, we can discuss it again."

"The Shenmu Pavilion can't afford the karma on my body, so it's better not to cause trouble for yourself." Chu Zheng shook his head and advised kindly.

This is not an exaggeration. Judging from Zhao Tingxian's previous reaction, we know that there is a lot of secrets involved in him. Not to mention the Shenmu Pavilion, even the entire Cangyun Realm combined, there is a huge difference.

It is not a good thing to be too close to him. If your destiny is not strong enough, you may die early.

Hearing this, Ye Yujiao lost her previous calmness and frowned. She didn't know the inside story. She only felt a kind of aloof arrogance from Chu Zheng. Shenmu Pavilion seemed to have no weight at all in this person's eyes.

Even the Holy Land does not dare to look down upon the Shenmu Pavilion. After all, it is a force composed of alchemists. Many times, the Holy Land will ask for help from them, but now it is so disliked by Chu Zheng.

He brought the elixir as a gift and was rejected by others despite all his support. Even if he was arrogant in his heart, he couldn't bear this result.

Ye Yujiao took a deep breath, suppressed the unknown fire that surged in her heart, and spoke patiently: "Some things can only be known after trying them. Why does the Holy Master have to draw conclusions so early?"

"There is some truth to this, but there are some things that once you try them, you may not have the chance to regret them. After all, you can only live once."

Chu Zheng's words were very straightforward, leaving no room for error.

"Then we'll come here first today."

Ye Yujiao stood up and said expressionlessly: "If the Holy Master changes his mind, you can come to me at any time. The door of Shenmu Pavilion is always open for you."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the door without looking back.

"Miss Ye, stay."

There was a call from behind, and a glint flashed in Ye Yujiao's eyes, her expression relaxed a little, and she turned back to look at Chu Zheng:

"Has the Holy Master changed his mind?"

"No."

Chu Zheng shook his head, glanced at the table of precious spiritual dishes in front of him, and asked casually:

"Are you still eating? If not, I will take it away, otherwise it will be a waste."

These dishes were valuable, untouched, and a shameful waste.

"Holy Lord, do as you wish."

For a moment, Ye Yujiao laughed angrily, turned around and strode away.

"thanks for treatment."

Chu Zheng put away all the spiritual dishes on the jade table, walked slowly down the Dengxian Tower, and walked back home slowly.

After a while, he returned to Taixuan's station.

In the secret room, Song Lingxue was practicing Kung Fu with her eyes closed. When she heard the movement, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Shenmu Pavilion prepared a marriage and wanted to marry Taixuan, but I refused."

Before she could ask, Chu Zheng told the whole story in a few words, took out a piece of spiritual food, and said slowly:

"Have a meal."

"Why don't you agree?" Song Lingxue blinked.

"If you ask again knowingly, I will really agree." Chu Zheng replied casually: "Why are you pretending to be stupid in front of me? Are you treating me as Lingqing?"

Song Lingxue stopped speaking, but the corners of her mouth gradually raised uncontrollably.

The tolerance that Chu Zheng could give her was extremely precious to her.

South of Wanlong City.

Under the protection of several divine infant monks, Ye Yujiao hurriedly stepped into a hall with an angry look on her face.

After turning left and right for a while, we finally entered a side hall.

In the side hall, an octogenarian old man was sitting cross-legged on a jade couch. He was dressed in green clothes, with fair hair and a childlike face. His skin was rosy and shiny, and his eyes were slightly closed.

The ancestor of the Ye family, Ye Huang, is a monk in the Tongxuan Secret Realm. He has gone through two foreign battlefields in a short period of time and still survived.

"Grandpa."

Ye Yujiao tightened her lips and bowed.

The old man on the jade couch slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile when he saw the unswerving look on Ye Yujiao's face:

"What? Are you dissatisfied with looking at people?"

"People look down on Shenmu Pavilion and think that Shenmu Pavilion will hold them back."

Ye Yujiao said with a hint of sarcasm: "I have learned a lot today. I don't even look down on the majestic Lord of the Holy Land. I can't even bear to part with a few dishes. I take advantage of him so much that I really don't have any shame."

"It is the behavior of a weak person to insist on saving face. What a strong person has to do is to give face to others."

Hearing this, the smile on Ye Huang's face did not diminish, and he said slowly: "Yujiao, I have said to my colleagues before that when looking at people, you need to observe what they do, not what they say. Appearances will confuse your judgment. ”

"Elixirs, beauty, and power cannot move his heart. So what does this person want? Have you ever considered it?"

"this……"

Ye Yujiao gradually calmed down, frowned, and muttered: "But, Grandpa Zu, if this person doesn't want to, I can't just go ahead and post it, right?"

"I know you are unwilling to do so, but there have been successive wars outside the territory. Most of the elders in our Shenmu Pavilion have been destroyed. There are only a few disciples in the younger generation who are worthy of important responsibilities. It is really difficult to support you alone."

Ye Huang's eyes dimmed slightly: "My Ye family has produced super-grade immortal bones in the past. If it hadn't been for greed back then and plotting the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture and the Immortal Fire to send it into Taixuan, it might not be possible today. Falling into this situation."

"Does the Ye family still have this connection with Taixuan?"

Hearing this, Ye Yujiao couldn't help but be surprised that she had never heard anyone mention this matter before.

"That happened thousands of years ago, and only a few people in the clan know about it now."

Ye Huang sighed softly and fell into deep thought. After a while, he spoke again:

"There are things about Chu Zheng that are different from ordinary people. Please allow me to look at him for a while before I draw a conclusion."

"I understand, Grandpa Zu, I will find another way to get close to him."

Ye Yujiao wiped away the expression on her face and regained her composure.

As the only daughter of a wealthy family, she has been shouldering a certain mission since the day she was born.

For the prosperity of her family, she can give up many things, including the so-called self.

…………

…………

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

There are not a few forces who are willing to make good friends with Taixuan. Many Taixuan disciples have gradually adapted to life in Wanlong City and have met many monks of their generation.

There will inevitably be disputes and frictions. Since the competition has not yet started, Wanlong City is not allowed to take action at will and can only suppress it. However, the smell of gunpowder has begun to show.

For the rest of this month, Chu Zheng did not leave the secret room for even a step, and had been meditating to restore his cultivation.

During this period of time, his cultivation level has steadily increased and recovered, and has already returned to the sixth transformation of the Divine Infant, and is still growing, moving towards the seventh transformation of the Divine Infant.

He could feel that on the other side of the distant starry sky, there were still believers praying for him, and the endless stream of incense and wishes were increasing day by day.

The dazzling divine light I felt that day only destroyed the Serpent Star and several surrounding life stars. He still has many believers scattered in the star field governed by the Divine Court.

With these believers preaching for him, the number of his believers will soon recover.

According to the news sent back by the incense golden body, the incident that day has alarmed the great emperor in the divine court.

The great emperor seemed to have taken action personally and killed several powerful creatures. The specific source is still uncertain.

At this moment, there is still more than a year before the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition, and Chu Zheng does not intend to waste it.

After adjusting his state to the peak, he left part of his consciousness in his body and started the method of observing the stars and catching the sky again.

One year in Cangyun is a hundred years in the Chaos Sea. He has enough time to make further progress in his cultivation, step into the perfection of the golden elixir, and even refine the spirit, or continue to improve his immortal cultivation and step into the Tongxuan secret realm. .

With the growth of the power of the soul, Chu Zheng's observation of the stars and catching the sky became more and more smooth. Without spending much energy, he found a brilliant star road.

At the other end of the star road is a whole continent, with a round sky and a square earth. It is not a life star, and is somewhat similar to the Cangyun Realm.

…………

…………

Dongyuan Realm.

There are three days and six months in the sky, divided into nine regions and thirteen wastelands.

This world is full of fish and dragons, and the wasteland where alien species are rampant occupies most of the territory. Among them, the human race occupies less than a quarter of the territory.

Alien species are called wild beasts in this world. They are violent and unpredictable by nature and cannot communicate with humans. Wild beasts often leave the wasteland and enter various regions to kill and hunt.

The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in this world is richer than that of the current Cangyun Realm, but the cultivation tradition is different from every kind that Chu Zheng has encountered before.

From the day they are born, the children in this world will be painted with indelible totem marks on their bodies by their elders with the real blood of wild beasts.

Relying on the totem on their bodies, cultivators can trigger secret power, connect heaven and earth, and then perform magical secrets.

This method has great limitations. Only a few people can become strong. The situation of the human race is still precarious.

Chu Zheng's soul wandered in the sky, and soon found a half-body in the desolate area.

A boy who was less than four years old, his pupils were already dilated, the half of his body below the waist and abdomen disappeared, his ribs were exposed, and his internal organs were mixed with dirty blood.

There were many corpses around, most of them were incomplete, obviously attacked by wild beasts.

A flash of spiritual light passed by, and Chu Zheng sank into the boy's eyebrows. The repair panel soon began to operate, and the incomplete body gradually began to grow.

Huh--

After a while, the repair was just completed, Chu Zheng exhaled a breath of turbid air, and fell into deep thought.

Here, he can have enough time to slowly increase his cultivation, and at the same time... to develop his own believers.
