Chapter 125: Count Me In
"My disciple!" The Taoist priest did not hesitate.
Zhu was unmoved and repeated it again.
"Who is this child?"
The Taoist priest's face darkened and he stared at Zhu's eyes. Seeing Zhu's burning eyes, he knew that he must have seen something.
"Some things, just know it, be careful not to talk nonsense."
Hearing the Taoist priest's answer, Zhu's eyes were bright. He had doubts when he heard that the Taoist priest accepted a disciple before, and later the Taoist priest Baijie tried to protect Li Chuyi, which made him more suspicious, and gradually had some unbelievable guesses. Hearing the Taoist priest say this, he immediately understood, and the look he gave Li Chuyi was full of wonders, as if he was looking at a supreme treasure.
Looking up at the sky, Zhu wanted to ask a few more questions but held back. He knew that the Taoist priest was right, and some things would make his mouth rot if they were spoken out.
"Count me in." After a long time, Zhu suddenly said.
The Taoist raised his eyebrows, as if he knew what Zhu meant by this nonsense. He smiled unpredictably and answered the question irrelevantly.
"How are you going to compensate?"
Zhu looked at Li Chuyi carefully again, and after a long pause, he looked at the Taoist.
"Three thousand-year-old meteorite fire spirit roots, three drops of meteorite fire source liquid. If he can form a Taoist fetus in the future, I will give him a meteorite fire spirit sword to protect the Taoist fetus. How about that?"
Hearing Zhu's answer, the masters of Taixu Palace who were present all took a deep breath, and even the Taoist Baijie was slightly moved.
The thousand-year-old meteorite fire spirit roots are extremely rare and priceless, and the meteorite fire source liquid is a legendary treasure. It can be used as medicine to make pills, and can also be swallowed directly by cultivators who specialize in fire to improve their cultivation and realm perception. It can even be directly detonated to explode with power comparable to the full force of a cultivator in the early stage of the Ascension Period. It is said that only the center of the Tianyun God Pit can produce a drop after tens of thousands of years. Only one drop has appeared in the human world for so many years, and this drop caused a series of bloody battles, and was finally taken into the pocket by the Dayan Dynasty with its tyrannical strength.
But the most precious is not these two, but the last meteorite fire sword. You should know that flying sword magic weapons are not uncommon, but magic weapons that specifically protect the Dao fetus are extremely rare. This kind of magic weapon is collectively called the Dao fetus magic weapon. They are no longer weapons in the traditional sense, but magic weapons specifically for the Dao fetus.
The Nascent Soul and the Yuanshen are both real, and the Dao fetus formed after the Yuanshen sublimates is already between the real and the virtual. The solid can prevent the weapon from hurting the flesh, and the virtual can ignore the conventional attack means and directly attack the soul, making it fly away. This weird method is also the biggest difference between the Dao fetus stage and the Yuanshen stage. Even if the Yuanshen cultivator has high mana, it is difficult to resist the invisible killing method of the Dao fetus cultivator.
Only a Dao fetus can resist a Dao fetus, and when a Dao fetus and a Dao fetus meet, what they compete with is not mana, but the cultivation of the Dao fetus itself. In a naked confrontation, whoever has a stronger Dao fetus can suppress the other and win.
After the Dao fetus becomes empty, conventional spells and weapons are useless. Only secret methods and Dao fetus magic weapons specifically for Dao fetuses can be used. When two Dao fetuses with a small difference meet, one is bare-handed and the other is holding magic weapons. The result of the fight is self-evident.
However, Dao fetus magic weapons are too rare. Not one in ten thousand cultivators can possess them. Even in a large sect like Taixu Palace, if he is not a very outstanding disciple, the sect will not give him a Dao fetus magic weapon. Even the Taixu Palace masters who are in the stage of crossing the tribulation and ascending, many of them have accumulated materials little by little since the Yuanshen stage, and finally gathered them until the stage of crossing the tribulation or even the ascending stage, and spent a huge price to ask someone to refine them.
Seeing that Zhu actually promised to give Li Chuyi a magic weapon after he gave birth to a child, even the masters of Taixu Palace, who had been mentally stable for thousands of years, could not help but feel jealous, looking at Li Chuyi with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Zhu thought he had shown great sincerity, but he did not expect the Taoist to shake his head with dissatisfaction.
"Are you sending away beggars? Such a small thing is considered compensation?"
The cultivators of Taixu Palace wanted to tear the Taoist to pieces. He was not satisfied with this, was this Taoist sick?
The Taoist Baijie next to him also shuddered, he thought these things were enough, but he did not expect the Taoist to be dissatisfied.
Zhu's face sank.
"I'm already very sincere!"
"You bumpkin!" The Taoist rolled his eyes, "Ten three thousand year old meteorite fire spirit roots, one bottle of meteorite fire source liquid, the Dao fetus magic weapon is so-so, don't change it, but give it to us all today. My disciple is a natural talent, it is inevitable that he can cultivate to the Dao fetus. Give it to him as soon as possible, so that he won't have to run again in the future. My disciple is very lazy."
"Tianyi, are you sick?" Zhu was so angry that he shivered, "Ten three thousand year old meteorite fire spirit roots, do you think this is cabbage? There is also a bottle of meteorite fire source liquid, why don't you want a jar?"
The Taoist was stunned, looking at Zhu with a happy face: "You have a jar? That's fine, one jar is one jar, it's hard to refuse such a kind offer, I won't refuse it!"
"You!"
Zhu was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. Everyone in Taixu Palace looked at the Taoist with a dull face and stretched out their hands to wipe the cold sweat. As for Baijie Taoist, he closed his eyes early and didn't look at him. He knew the Taoist's temper, out of sight, out of mind, anyway, he would not suffer any loss.
After shivering for a long time, Zhu Yi gritted his teeth and looked at the Taoist fiercely.
"One three-thousand-year-old meteorite spirit root, three thousand-year-old plants, five drops of meteorite source liquid, and the Taoist fetus magic weapon I can give you today, this is my bottom line!"
"No room for negotiation?"
"It's ok, it's ok, if not, forget it, we'll go our separate ways, and start the war now!" Before Zhu finished speaking, the giant fire demons that had been standing silently beside him stepped forward and roared.
Roar~!!! !!!
After scratching his ears, the Taoist priest nodded to Zhu: "Okay, let's do it this way, bring the things, and let's forget about this."
"Oath." Zhu did not move.
"Can't you have a little trust?" The Taoist priest curled his lips, made a seal in his hand, summoned a ball of white light, swore with his soul, and silently recited the agreement between the two, and then threw the ball of light to Zhu. After Zhu also swore with his soul, the white light flashed and disappeared, and the two felt an inexplicable power attached to their bodies at the same time. This is the restraining power of the oath, which is unpredictable. If someone violates it, then his soul will be scattered and his body and soul will be destroyed.
Seeing that the oath was fulfilled, Zhu said no more, flashed back to the ground, and returned again after a while, throwing a storage bag to the Taoist priest.
"Inside!"
The Taoist took it, checked it carefully, and nodded after confirming that it was correct. He looked at Zhu with a gentle smile, which made him grit his teeth and look gloomy.
Seeing Zhu getting angry again, the Taoist laughed and said in a voice transmission: "Don't think you are at a disadvantage. You should know that time is running out."
Zhu was startled, looked at him deeply, his face eased, and nodded silently.
The Taoist smacked his lips, pinched a spell, and waved his hand at the ground.
"You are so sincere, this is my gift."
As he spoke, the messy ground that was split by the heavenly punishment suddenly began to wriggle, and the scattered stones and dust kept gathering back, flying back to their original positions like building blocks, and re-forming the original pattern.
As everyone watched, the entire Fire Cloud Pit gradually recovered from bottom to top, layer by layer, until the last bit of dust settled, and the Fire Cloud Pit returned to its previous appearance, without any sign of having been invaded by the heavenly punishment.
The giant fire demon and the masters of Taixu Palace were certainly stunned, while Baijie Taoist and Zhu were even more horrified, looking at the Taoist priest in disbelief.
After a long time, Zhu took a deep breath and slowly uttered a sentence.
"Time travel? Have you touched the threshold of time?"
The Taoist priest did not answer, but showed an unfathomable smile, which made Zhu even more suspicious.
"It's okay, we will leave first. When my silly disciple comes again in the future, you can bless those scumbags of yours. If you have a clear target, just scare them, but don't hurt their lives." After saying that, he signaled Baijie Taoist and several people from Taixu Palace to follow, and flew out first.
Looking at the Taoist priest's back, Zhu's face changed, and Yanlang next to him took a step forward.
"Ancestor, why did you agree to his conditions? If you are interested in that young man, we can keep them!"
"You don't understand." Zhu did not answer.
After thinking about it, he was still a little worried, and turned to look at the giant fire demons behind him.
"Give orders, next time you meet that boy, just pretend you didn't see him. Especially for those tribesmen who haven't developed their intelligence, including the new tribesmen, engrave the boy's breath into their souls, and tell them to avoid him immediately when they meet him, and not to attack."
"Yes!" The giant fire demons agreed in unison without hesitation and retreated one after another.
Zhu is their ancestor, the one who created them. Even if Zhu tells them to die, they will obey unconditionally. Although they don't understand why Zhu does this at this time, they won't ask more questions. As long as Zhu tells them to, they will do it.
The fire demons left one after another, and there was no one around, only Zhu was left alone. After a long time, he sighed deeply.
"Alas, there are some things that can't be touched. If you touch them, you will die."
After saying that, he looked up at the sky with some fear. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head slightly, and flashed back to the bottom.
