Chapter 109 Temporary Alliance

Seeing the two talking like this, Yu Fozi was so angry that he trembled all over and scolded: "You two Daoists are really too much." After he finished speaking, another bright red burst out of his mouth.

"Daoyou Yu, it's not that we two are too much. Just now, you are ignorant and have to challenge this Master Xu. Even if Master Xu is magnanimous and doesn't kill you, I'm afraid you are seriously injured now, and it will be more difficult to break through to the True Dan realm in the future. If Master Xu agrees, you can still join our alliance. Now your body is injured, and continuing to stay in the Xiaoxian Realm is just waiting for your lifespan to slowly run out. Don't you want to return to the Northern Territory? Returning to the Northern Territory has always been the long-cherished wish of the three of us. Master Xu's skills are profound. When the time comes, the four of us will unite and fight." Leng Daoren said.

After hearing what Leng Daoist said, Yu Fozi was relieved and said, "That's good. If you don't mind, as long as there is a chance to return to the Northern Territory, Yu Fozi is willing to form an alliance with Master Xu."

Leng Daoist smiled and bowed to Lu Qingyu, saying, "Miss Lu, I offended you before, please don't take it to heart."

Jing Daoist also apologized.

Lv Qingyu glanced at the two of them and didn't answer.

Originally, Xu Yang was thinking that he would inevitably have to fight with Leng Daoist and Jing Daoist when he returned. Unexpectedly, the other party proposed to form an alliance with him. The world of cultivation really has only eternal interests, not eternal enemies.

"Do you three really want to form an alliance with me? Aren't you afraid that I will pretend to form an alliance and then capture you and send you to the county city?" Xu Yang asked back.

Taoist Jing smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, Master Xu should not be from this Xiaoxian Realm. If you want to leave this place, the three of us can help you."

"Oh? How does Taoist Jing know that I am not from this Xiaoxian Realm?"

"First, the two of us brothers have been in Xiaoxian Realm for three hundred years, and we have never heard of Master Xu's name. Secondly, although Master Xu just performed the ghost and Buddhist techniques, there is clearly a trace of netherworld power in Master Xu's pulse, which shows that Master Xu's ghost technique is quite authentic. Practicing ghost techniques requires the power of the netherworld to wash the marrow, and there is no netherworld power in this Xiaoxian Realm. Therefore, I can conclude that the master is an outsider. This Xiaoxian Realm is not originally an alien space, but a space isolated from the Wanyu Forest by a powerful Confucian. Most people who can enter this place are those who accidentally came in from the Wanyu Forest. The master should be a person from the North Territory." Taoist Jing replied.

"Yes, I am from the Northern Territory and I accidentally came here during a volcanic eruption." Seeing that Master Jing's speculation was very reasonable, Xu Yang did not hide it.

"You just said you could help me leave this place, what do you mean?"

"For Confucian disciples, Xiaoxianjie may be a good place. Here, Confucianism is the only one that dominates, and other schools are not allowed to exist. For us Taoist and Buddhist disciples, it is like hell, and we are chased and killed by Confucian believers every day. For this reason, we also tried our best to leave this place. After years of investigation, we found that the exit of this place is under an unknown barren mountain in the northeast of this world. There is a secret Ditan under the barren mountain, which should be the center of the isolation formation. Several years ago, we joined forces with seven fellow Taoists to try to enter Ditan. Unexpectedly, the formation in Ditan was so mysterious that we were trapped as soon as we entered the first level. Four of the Taoists were killed, and the three of us escaped by chance. The Taoists have profound skills. At that time, we can join forces with some people and break into Ditan again. If we can leave this place together, wouldn’t it be great?" Taoist Jing explained.

After listening to this, Xu Yang thought to himself that what Jing Daoren said was similar to what Lu Qingyu said, and it should be true. However, Lu Qingyu said that only a Yuanhun realm cultivator could open the eye of the formation. We will know when we go in and explore. It would be great if we can find a way out.

"Okay, in this case, I agree to form an alliance with you. When can we go to explore the location of the Earth Altar?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang agreed so readily. Leng Daoren and Jing Daoren showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

"The entrance to the Earth Altar will only open automatically in early April every year and will close automatically in May. It will take more than half a year for it to open again. It won't be too late for us to go then." Leng Daoren replied.

"That's good. We can prepare more during this period. We will know the result when we go to explore it." Xu Yang said with satisfaction.

Taoist Leng took out a small jade box from his storage bag, handed it to Xu Yang and said, "This jade box contains a piece of 'Ten Thousand Years Tianshan Wood Ganoderma'. If you think highly of me, please accept it."

Ten Thousand Years Tianshan Wood Ganoderma is a rare wood-attributed spiritual medicine, which is very beneficial to improving the body.

Xu Yang reached out to take the jade box and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Taoist Leng."

Taking a gift from Taoist Leng, Taoist Jing was not to be outdone. He took out an exquisite yellow pear wood square box from his storage bag. He handed it to Xu Yang with both hands and said, "This box contains a piece of 'Deep Sea Cold Fragrance Wood', please accept it."

Deep Sea Cold Fragrance Wood emits a faint fragrance. Placing it indoors can not only refresh the air, but also help people enter a state of concentration and eliminate fatigue. It is said to be produced in the deep sea of ​​the East China Sea and is also a rare spiritual material. Since he has accepted Taoist Leng's things, there is no need to refuse Taoist Jing's kindness, so Xu Yang simply accepted it generously.

Seeing Xu Yang accept the gifts from the two, Leng Daoist came over and whispered, "I have another question for you, sir. Is this Miss Lu really your fiancée?"

Xu Yang chuckled and said, "Of course not, Miss Lu is a friend of mine."

"I have a merciless request, I don't know whether to say it or not." Leng Daoren continued to ask.

"Say it."

"The person who made the deal with the three of us only allowed us to put Miss Lu under house arrest for a month. He did not let us harm her. But the reward was a God-Jointing Pill for each of us. This God-Jointing Pill is very important to cultivators in the Peiyuan Realm. You certainly know the benefits. If it is convenient, you might as well take Miss Lu back to live with us for a month. We will treat you two as honored guests and ask for an extra knot of gods. Wouldn’t it be better to give Dan to Mr. Xu?”

After hearing this, Xu Yang shook his head and said, "Fortunately, my Taoist friend is a veteran in the world. If the other party regrets temporarily, wouldn't it put Miss Lu in danger?"

"What the young master said is absolutely true. I am so eager for quick success that I have got carried away. This matter will never be mentioned again." Although Leng Daoren answered simply, he could not help but show disappointment.

Daoren Jing also shook his head slightly with regret.

"As for the God-Jointing Pill, as long as you find the materials for refining the God-Jinging Pill and bring them to me, it shouldn't be difficult for me to help you refine a few." Xu Yang took over the conversation and said.

The God-Jointing Pill is an earth-attribute elixir. As long as there are enough materials, Xu Yang's power of the wheel flame spirit can increase the efficiency of refining the earth-attribute elixir, so he can definitely refine it.

"What? Young Master actually has such ability? That would be much easier to handle. Over the years, we have collected a lot of materials in order to prepare to break through to the true elixir realm. Among the several ingredients for refining the Shen Shen Dan, this one is missing. Just "Purple Jade Crystal", how can we contact you in the future?"

"That's easy to say. How about we meet here at noon today in three months to discuss our alliance to enter the Earth Temple?"

"According to the wishes of the young master, if the young master has something urgent to find us, he can go to Qinghua Mountain City, five hundred miles northeast of here, to find us. The three of us will leave first."

"Fellow Taoist Jade, let's go." Taoist Jing said.

Without saying a word, Jade Buddha followed Mr. Jing into the black flying boat and flew away.

"Have you really formed an alliance with them? Don't suffer their losses." Lu Qingyu asked.

"Thanks for the reminder. They and I have the same goal in returning to the Northern Territory. The alliance is just to use each other."

"Thanks to the young master for rescuing me this time."

"No need to say thank you, your contribution is also here."

Xu Yang knew that thanks to Lu Qingyu's ability to divide the three of them, he and Yu Fozi could compete one on one. If we were to fight one against three, the outcome would be uncertain.

"To avoid further complications, I will send Miss Lu back to the county town."

"Then there's Mr. Lao."

The two of them headed south without encountering any obstacles.

The gate of the county city is much taller and grander than that of the north city. Several large flags are fluttering in the wind above the city head, and the two big characters "西君" on the flag are shining with golden light. At the gate of the city, dozens of soldiers were checking people passing by.

"Just send the lady here. I've been out for three days, I'm afraid my friends are already impatient."

"Then I won't keep Mr. Xu. If Mr. Xu is willing, you can bring your friends to the county to recuperate." After saying that, Lu Qingyu took out a white jade sign and handed it to Xu Yang.

"Master Xu can use this jade token to enter the county town, and no one will stop him."

At this moment, there was a commotion inside the city gate.

"Everyone waiting here, please get out of the way!"

The crowd in front of the city gate immediately dispersed with interest.

Following the rapid sound of horse hooves, a group of people rushed out from the city gate.

At the head is a military commander with a purple gold helmet on his head and shining purple gold dragon scales. He is holding a long tasseled silver spear. Under his seat is a tall, strong and majestic red flame horse. A group of cavalry behind them were neatly dressed and had high morale.

There was a person closely following the general, but this person was dressed in casual clothes. Xu Yang recognized at a glance that this person was Lu Qingyu's follower Hua Yang.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyu hurriedly waved goodbye to Xu Yang and whispered: "Mr. Xu, you must come to the county to find me. What happened today will be something Qingyu will never forget."

"I'm here!" Lu Qingyu shouted loudly, while shouting towards the troops leaving the city.

"Miss is back." Hua Yang was overjoyed to see Lu Qingyu safe and sound. As he spoke, he urged his horse to meet him.

The leading general also urged his horse to follow.

The two came closer and dismounted. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Qingyu was welcomed back to the county town.
