Chapter 268 Sacrifice: The Golden Elixir Realm!

"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. At the latest, Jiang Che would be transferred from the Grand Commander of Tiannan Pass in three years, and he would be recommended to take over.

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 around 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, like the Beiling Qi family, has 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 thing to Jiang Che.

"I dare not, I dare not praise you."

Gao Qinian hurriedly 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 whole 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.

[Sacrificial target: Breakthrough Golden Pill! ]

Mysterious patterns on the inscription lit up one after another, and lasted for more than ten breaths. Finally, a line of small characters slowly appeared on the monument.

[Sacrificial price: one thousand Yuan crystals, one Seven-hole Linglong fruit, one thousand-year-old cicada spirit leaf, one Yin-Yang spirit fire, one Three-life Golden Lotus seed. Ten years of life will be reduced and the remaining life will be 150 years. Do you want to sacrifice? ]

When Jiang Che saw the sacrifice clearly, his face sank instantly.

This time the sacrifice seemed a little beyond the scope.

The above four spiritual objects are almost all treasures at the level of God.

It is definitely not something that the Xuandan Grandmaster can get involved in.

Especially the Three-life Golden Lotus Seed, even if it is recorded in the Qi Family Secret Book, it is a very rare treasure of heaven and earth. It transforms once every thousand years, and it can only become medicine after three transformations.

Its value is even higher than that of Jiuqu Xuanshen.

Yin-Yang Spiritual Fire is not bad either. This thing is also relatively rare in the martial arts world, and it is not a spiritual object. To be precise, it is a spiritual fire that can be refined by warriors.

The value of the Seven-Aperture Linglong Fruit and the Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Leaf is lower in comparison, but it is also a very rare thing, not less valuable than the Qingming Yunshen Lotus.

Jiang Che didn't think clearly why the difficulty this time would suddenly increase?

Is it because of the golden elixir?

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

He knew that there were differences in the golden elixir of warriors, and the quality of the golden elixir determined the foundation of the warrior in the future, because the golden elixir had begun to contain the spirit.

How far the God Realm can go depends entirely on the spirit.

Jiang Che thought of the previous sacrifices to the Heavenly Monument. For example, in terms of the skills, whether it was the Barbarian Bull Strength or the Azure Dragon Sea-Suppressing Sutra, every time it was perfected.

It would change and transform towards a more magical place.

And this time the sacrifice was so harsh, did it mean that the condensed golden elixir was also different?

Thinking of this, Jiang Che felt a little better.

Xuandan is the core of a warrior, and Jindan is the core of the core, which means that his future Nascent Soul, if he can have magical changes at the foundation, will only benefit in the future.

He took a deep breath.

Jiang Che prepared to adjust the order of several sacrifices. At present, Yuanjing and Shouyuan are not a problem for him at all. Even if there are twice as many, he can bear it.

As for the other four spiritual objects, there is no news about the Three-Life Golden Lotus Seed and Yin-Yang Spirit Fire. He can only slowly collect and investigate the traces, but for the first two.

He has some clues.

Before, Zhou Yi, the Minister of War of Nanyue, visited him and traded with him. He mentioned the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf and the Seven-Aperture Linglong Fruit, saying that these things had been robbed by the Red Blood Demon Lord.

The Red Blood Demon Lord has fallen, leaving only a Red Blood Secret Realm, which is likely to have these things.

If he wants to get the two spiritual objects, he must go there.

Jiang Che rubbed his fine stubble, his eyes a little dazed.

According to past experience, although the offerings given by the Heavenly Monument are difficult, they are basically centered around him. Only when he has a hope of getting them will the offerings be listed.

Now it seems to be true.

He had long thought about going to the Red Blood Secret Realm, and half of the offerings were related to the Red Blood Secret Realm. If there is no connection between them, Jiang Che would never believe it.

It can only be said that time and fate are also related to the Red Blood Secret Realm.

If you think about it more deeply, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Demon Knife falling into his hands may also be one of the coincidences. He and the once fierce and powerful Red Blood Demon Lord are indeed very predestined!

However, the most urgent task at present is to let Princess Ning investigate the specific location of the secret realm. He is not interested in exploring the secret realm with the people of Nanyue anyway.

Since the things inside are predestined to him, they should be his.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Since the sacrifice that day, Jiang Che has become more and more concerned about the Red Blood Secret Realm. On the one hand, he continues to deepen his friendship with Princess Ning to speed up his investigation.

On the other hand, he began to offer a reward through his own power to find the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Spirit Fire and the Three-Life Golden Lotus Seed.

Although these spiritual objects are difficult to find, if he doesn't work hard, they will not come to him for nothing.

However, the previous dilemma reappeared. The news of the two spiritual objects has been spread for several days, but there is no trace at all, and the Ning Wang Mansion seems to have temporarily stagnated.

Even if he urges, he can't hurry.

Gradually, Jiang Che began to calm down.

Since the general area of ​​the secret realm has been found, it is only a matter of time before the final confirmation. He doesn't need to be anxious, and he can't be anxious. For this reason, Jiang Che began to comfort himself and calm down.

Every day, he either meditates and practices, or has fun with Huang Shanshan and Qi Ningbing.

It also allows him to have a few days of leisure.

Of course, Jiang Che is not really completely calm. In fact, he is also practicing, exploring the way of the golden elixir, and preparing for a breakthrough in the future.

At the same time, he is also consolidating Qi Ningbing's cultivation.

The elixir he brought back from Tiansha City last time was prepared for Qi Ningbing. Now the other party has broken through to the peak of the Divine Light realm and is only one step away from the Mysterious Pill.

And when Qi Ningbing forms the pill, the Mysterious Yin spiritual energy will be 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 Qi Wanjun's Yuanyin spiritual energy.

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. Ti Dian 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?
