Chapter 1712 Golden Sword Orchid
Without any sign, a rumor spread throughout Zulongju.
The daughter of Nanyue Xiao Mian was actually in Zulongju!
When this news came out, ordinary cultivators just thought it was a joke or a gimmick, only the Nanyuezhou and Dutianfeng factions had to be extremely cautious.
Fan Jian frowned when he heard the news.
Damn it!
Has the matter finally been exposed?
At Xiao Mian's request, Fan Jian entered Zulongju. His first priority changed from entering the Five Elements Secret Realm to finding Xiao Baitao. After all, the Five Elements Secret Realm would not run away, and Xiao Baitao would be in danger at any time. The problem was that Xiao Baitao had been living in Binghuo Valley. Fan Jian searched almost the entire Zulongju, but could not find any trace of Xiao Baitao.
In the end, Xiao Baitao's whereabouts were still heard from hearsay.
With a thought, Fan Jian immediately rushed to Binghuo Valley.
At this time, Binghuo Valley was crowded inside and outside.
Outside the Ice and Fire Valley, all kinds of cultivators were mixed together, but they did not dare to enter the Ice and Fire Valley.
Inside the Ice and Fire Valley, the cultivators of Dutian Peak and Nanyue were fighting in a mess.
The Nanyue cultivators who entered Zulongju this time were led by Fan Jian, and there were also Pu Mingyu, Jin Weilian, Ren Yimo and Li Xingyan.
On the Dutian Peak side, in addition to Leng Chi who entered as a casual cultivator, there were four others, namely: Lin Changfeng, a sword cultivator of Jianling Valley, Hou Pu, a cultivator of Shengsi Valley, Xu Liming, a disciple of Shanhe Palace, and Shang Jue, a cultivator of Lei Tingzong who had just joined the Nine Sacred Lands.
The two sides were fighting four to four in the Ice and Fire Valley, and they were fighting fiercely.
To be honest, while Nanyue Province was thriving, Dutian Peak was indeed declining - there were only a few rising stars in the Nine Sacred Lands, and it was no longer as crowded and talented as it was in the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference.
Even the ranking of the nine holy places has changed several times. In order to complete the nine holy places, Yanji Sect and Leiting Sect were included.
Jiugong Zhenzong, the leader Zhen Tianzi fell, and there has been no successor.
The nine holy places that were once the legend of this cultivation world have ushered in the most serious lack of successors in history. If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster.
Only Sanqing Temple can still be detached and outstanding...
In the Ice and Fire Valley, the eight people on both sides fought two by two.
Water demon Pu Mingyu fought against Houpu of Life and Death Valley on the Ice and Fire Pond.
Pu Mingyu occupied the geographical advantage, while Houpu was a cultivator with earth attribute spiritual roots. The five elements of earth overcome water, and occupied the harmony of people. The two sides fought and were evenly matched.
Jin William, on the top of the snow mountain, fought against Lin Changfeng of Sword Spirit Valley.
Jin William is the cousin of Jin Weili, with the blood of the Golden Winged Dapeng demon clan, and can be said to be the purest half-demon cultivator of the Jin family after Jin Weili.
He has the Golden Wind Sword Technique, which is quite as majestic as Jin Weili in the past.
Lin Changfeng, as the second-generation disciple of Jianling Valley, is the son of Lin Guiyuan, the nephew of Lin Zongxue, the master of Jianling Valley, and the contemporary successor of the holy land of Jianling Valley.
One of them is the Golden Wind Sword Technique, and the other is the Changfeng Sword Technique. On the top of the snowy mountain, the snow and wind flew wildly, tearing the wind and splitting the clouds, which was very lively.
Ren Yimo, a newcomer in Huoyunling, fought against Xu Liming, a disciple of Shanhe Palace.
Xu Liming is the son of Xu Lijin. As the contemporary successor of Shanhe Palace, Xu Liming regards himself as a famous and authentic person, and always thinks he is superior to others.
On the other hand, Ren Yimo, who has been struggling all the way from Huoyunling, relies on cheating, and is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He has no principles and bottom line at all.
In terms of absolute strength, Ren Yimo is not as good as Xu Liming, but now the battle between the two is evenly matched, and Ren Yimo is slightly better.
This is how cultivators fight.
It is not a measure of absolute cultivation, but a comparison of comprehensive qualities.
The last pair is Li Xingyan of the Vacuum Dao and Shang Jue of the Thunder Sect.
To be honest, these two people have a lot of connections...
The Vacuum Dao is from the Huaxia Realm; the Thunder Sect is from the Yin Shang Realm.
Both of them were once sub-saints of the three realms, but now their status is very different: the Vacuum Dao was forced to move to Nanyue Province, and the Thunder Sect was promoted to the Nine Holy Lands.
Li Xingyan is a soldier who will win when he is in distress; Shang Jue is a soldier who will lose when he is arrogant.
Besides, to be fair, Shang Jue's cultivation is indeed not as solid as Li Xingyan's - Shang Jue is not Shang Jun's direct descendant. On that day, Shang Jun's son Shang Ling was ambushed, cutting off his hope of further progress. In order to continue Shang Jun's orthodox status in Lei Zhen Palace, Shang Jun chose Shang Jue from the same sect disciples to adopt him.
Although Shang Jue has some qualifications, he was selected halfway through. First, he is too old, and second, his foundation is not stable, so he is slightly inferior.
Among the four battle groups, only Li Xingyan is the most relaxed and has the best chance of winning.
It was under such circumstances that Fan Jian rushed into the Ice and Fire Valley.
With a glance, he could see the situation in the Ice and Fire at a glance.
In Fan Jian's mind, a thought suddenly came to his mind: Should I take the opportunity to kill them all?
Although Fan Jian was demoted to the Golden Core Realm by Xiao Mian, he was originally a Yuanying ancestor, and he had seen that among the four battle groups present, Nanyuezhou had a slight advantage.
If Fan Jian shamelessly launches a sneak attack, the four people from Dutian Peak will surely fail!
Fan Jian is even confident that he can keep half of the four people in Binghuo Valley forever...
But if that happens, Dutian Peak and Nanyue Province will surely be in war again.
If the Dutian Peak monks who escaped from Binghuo Valley run into Xiao Baitao, the consequences will be disastrous.
The most urgent task is not to provoke trouble, but to find Xiao Baitao as soon as possible!
With this thought in mind, Fan Jian made a decision!
"Stop it!"
Fan Jian shouted loudly, and Pu Mingyu and Li Xingyan were obedient and retreated. Hou Pu was a loyal person, and he did not pursue Pu Mingyu when he saw him retreating. Shang Jue was already being beaten by Li Xingyan, and he naturally did not pursue Li Xingyan when he saw him retreating.
The other two were in a special situation.
Jin William and Lin Changfeng had already fought with real anger, and it was difficult to stop - once Jin William stopped, Lin Changfeng would pursue, and the consequences would be disastrous.
On Ren Yimo's side, Xu Liming retreated after hearing the words, but Ren Yimo was shameless and attacked blindly, killing Xu Liming and almost defeating him...
Seeing this, Fan Jian snorted coldly.
The next moment, a full set of five spiritual jades came out in full force.
Forty of them were shot at the sword cultivation group on the top of the snow mountain. Fan Jian used twenty pieces of five spiritual jades to form an array to block the attacks of Jin William and Lin Changfeng.
The other nine pieces were blocked between Ren Yimo and Xu Liming.
After successfully stopping the eight people from fighting, Fan Jian snorted coldly.
"Humph! You are all in a good mood! Are you planning to compete to see who is better?"
"Senior Fan! Why are you here too?" Pu Mingyu bowed and said, "Senior Fan, please understand: they want to harm Junior Sister Xiao!"
"What? Did you see Junior Sister Xiao?"
"No... no! When we came, Binghuo Valley was empty. Then they came, obviously wanting to harm Junior Sister Xiao!"
"Then you fought? Can you find Junior Sister Xiao by fighting? I warn you: Senior Xiao is in Xianyang City! Whether it is Nanyuezhou or Dutian Peak, if Junior Sister Xiao is in trouble - no one in this world can be safe!"
When Fan Jian said this, the eight people in Binghuo Valley all changed color.
Xiao Mian's reputation is even better than Tianzun.
Xiao Baitao is Xiao Mian's daughter. Xiao Mian admitted this himself outside Wanzong City. If Xiao Baitao had any problems in Zulongju...
With Xiao Mian's character of taking the blame for the murder of Master Taijing, who knows what he will do - no one dares to say what the result will be!
Leaving some room for everyone to think, Fan Jian continued.
"I, Nanyuezhou, will do my best to protect Junior Sister Xiao. But for the people of Dutian Peak, I advise you: Junior Sister Xiao, it's better to live!"
Fan Jian's words made the four cultivators of Dutian Peak look at each other in surprise.
What does this mean?
What does Xiao Baitao's life or death have to do with them?
It was Ren Yimo, who rolled his eyes and said to himself: "What Senior Fan said is very true! If Junior Sister Xiao unfortunately falls into the hands of fellow Daoists from Dutian Peak, as long as she is alive, Dutian Peak can still negotiate with Senior Xiao; but if Junior Sister Xiao dies, let alone negotiate, Dutian Peak will be waiting to face Senior Xiao's wrath!"
"You are wrong!" It was Xu Liming, who snorted coldly at Ren Yimo: "Your Junior Sister Xiao may not be killed by Dutian Peak!"
"Do you think: Senior Xiao will listen to your explanation?" Ren Yimo retorted: "No matter who killed Junior Sister Xiao, as long as she is dead, Dutian Peak cannot escape the blame! So, if you see Junior Sister Xiao, please treat her well!"
As soon as Ren Yimo said this, the four people from Dutian Peak changed their expressions.
Thinking about it again, although Ren Yimo's words were irrelevant, they were not without reason.
Even if Xiao Mian can't do anything to Dutian Peak, it's hard to say whether Dutian Peak will sacrifice himself and the other four to calm Xiao Mian's anger...
In other words, the four of them must also do their best to protect Xiao Baitao!
What is this! ?
"Everyone! We all understand this truth, and those who are interested will naturally understand it! We are fighting to the death here, but those who are interested are looking for the whereabouts of Junior Sister Xiao in Zulongju. If they really fall into their trap, Dutian Peak and Nanyuezhou..."
Ren Yimo stopped talking halfway.
The implication and the hidden meaning are already exposed.
Since Xiao Baitao is so important, it is possible that someone will secretly murder Xiao Baitao and put the blame on Dutian Peak, provoking a fierce fight between Nanyuezhou and Dutian Peak.
In the end, both sides will suffer losses, and those who are interested can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!
"Everyone! If you don't want to be used as a gun, please find my Junior Sister Xiao and protect her - don't worry! This favor will be remembered by Senior Xiao!"
Fan Jian said this and made a "please" gesture.
The next moment, the four cultivators from Dutian Peak filed out of the Ice and Fire Valley.
No matter whether they will sincerely look for Xiao Baitao's whereabouts, at least they are not very brave to harm Xiao Baitao after being coaxed and deceived like this.
Of course, people's hearts are unpredictable!
So the most important thing is that everyone can find Xiao Baitao first!
"Everyone! This is the situation! Before I left, Senior Xiao repeatedly asked me that although the matter of Junior Sister Xiao is Senior Xiao's private matter, it is also a public matter of Nanyue!"
"Senior Fan, don't worry! We know!"
"Go! Suspend all tasks and focus on finding Junior Sister Xiao! No matter who it is, as long as there is a clue, report it immediately, and I will go to meet it."
"Yes!"
Piao Mingyu and the other four left the Ice and Fire Valley and acted separately.
Fan Jian, standing in the air above the Ice and Fire Pond, looked at the slightly raised mound beside the pond, and with a glimpse of his spiritual sense, he "saw" Xiao Bai's body.
Looking at the little white rabbit with its head and body separated, Fan Jian shuddered for no reason.
If Junior Sister Xiao...
No!
Absolutely not!
With a cold snort, Fan Jian left the Ice and Fire Valley and swept across Zulongju.
At this time, Xiao Baitao was at the edge of Zulongju - others came to Zulongju to look for opportunities, but Xiao Baitao just wanted to be quiet.
Xiao Baitao is simple, but not stupid.
Ordinary cultivators naturally go to where the spiritual energy is rich.
In order to seek peace and quiet, Xiao Baitao simply did the opposite - she went to where the spiritual energy was thin, and in this way, she hit the mark unexpectedly.
The huge Zulongju, with nearly a thousand Jindan cultivators, was not discovered by anyone.
But this made it difficult for Fan Jian and others...
After searching for several days, there was still no news.
On the contrary, Xiao Baitao, who had a rare few days of free time, finally calmed down the shadow brought by Xiaobai's death and began to wander in Zulongju.
The area where Xiao Baitao was located was already on the edge of Zulongju, which was sparsely populated and had thin spiritual energy, so no one cared about it.
Unexpectedly, even in this place with thin spiritual energy, there was a mystery hidden.
The reason why the spiritual energy here is thin is not because it is congenital. The spiritual energy in Zulongju is equal everywhere. The reason why it is unusually thin here is because there is a fairy grass of nearly ten thousand years of spiritual grass nearby, which swallowed up a lot of spiritual energy around it.
Zulongju has been opened for several sessions, and no one knows about this.
The Qin family, who claims to be the owner of Zulongju, knows about this, but the fairy grass has finally grown to nine thousand years old, and it is only one step away from ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years of spiritual grass and nine thousand years of spiritual grass are like golden elixir and Yuanying.
Therefore, the Qin family plans to hide for another thousand years before digging for fairy grass.
Anyway, in the eyes of the Qin family, the entire Zulongju is the back garden of his Qin family, and the entire Qin County is the mansion of his Qin family. Who would have thought that a sudden disaster would come?
This nine thousand years of fairy grass appeared in front of Xiao Baitao.
"Huh? What is this?"
While talking to himself, Xiao Baitao came to the fairy grass and looked at it carefully.
Although Xiao Baitao is a high-level golden elixir cultivator, he has no common sense of cultivation.
This nine thousand year old fairy grass is called the Golden Sword Orchid.
The Golden Sword Orchid looks like a woody spiritual grass, but in fact it is a spiritual object condensed by the gold attribute. The appearance of a spiritual grass can be said to be just one of its forms.
The Golden Sword Orchid can only grow in a place with extremely rich gold attribute spiritual energy. During the growth process, it will devour the surrounding spiritual energy for its own use.
To cultivate a Golden Sword Orchid, the time, energy and spiritual energy required are astronomical, and it often requires the joint efforts of several generations.
But if the Golden Sword Orchid is mature, it can be directly refined into a flying sword.
There is no need to add any spiritual materials, or even open a furnace to refine the weapon. The Golden Sword Orchid itself is a top-grade flying sword - and not just one, but nine!
Just like the Golden Sword Orchid in front of Xiao Baitao, which has been in the fire for nine thousand years, if it is refined at this time, it can get a set of nine top-grade flying swords of high-level magic weapon level.
If you can wait for ten thousand years, it will become a top-level magic weapon!
A set of nine top-level magic weapon flying swords, the power is comparable to the Tongtian Lingbao!
Xiao Baitao didn't know this, she just thought that the Golden Sword Orchid was very beautiful, subconsciously, she wanted to touch it, but at this moment, something strange happened.
A roar shook the whole field.
Xiao Baitao looked back and was shocked - a beast like a tiger and leopard was staring at Xiao Baitao, two fangs like daggers, flashing cold light.
Xiao Baitao knew this monster!
Sixth-level monster - Golden Sword Tooth Beast!
This Golden Sword Tooth Beast was the monster that guarded the Golden Sword Orchid. Counting back several generations, the ancestors of the Golden Sword Tooth Beast had been guarding the Golden Sword Orchid. When it was passed to it, the Golden Sword Orchid was about to ripen, and Xiao Baitao came...
How could the Golden Sword Tooth Beast let its heirloom be picked by others?
With a roar, the Golden Sword Tooth Beast attacked Xiao Baitao.
After the battle in the Ice and Fire Valley, Xiao Baitao finally looked like a cultivator. With a thought, she summoned a combat puppet.
The seventh-level combat puppet attacked the sixth-level monster and fought evenly.
Xiao Baitao found it interesting, so she squatted next to the Golden Sword Orchid and watched the combat puppet and the Golden Sword Tooth Beast fighting, just as a pastime.
It didn't matter if she watched it, they fought for a whole day and night...
The Golden Sword Tooth Beast was certainly wounded and exhausted, and the seventh-level combat puppet had been exhausted of its spiritual energy and fell into a state of being unable to move.
Xiao Baitao was shocked - she only had this one combat puppet!
Seeing the Golden Sword Tooth Beast limp on the ground, gasping for breath like a dead dog, Xiao Baitao bravely stepped forward and took the combat puppet.
Xiao Baitao hurriedly replaced it with a brand new high-quality spirit stone.
With a thought, the combat puppet was activated again.
The next moment, the Golden Sword-toothed Beast wailed and lay on the ground motionless - seeing that the situation was not good, the beast pretended to be dead.
"......, are you tired? Why don't you rest for a while before fighting?"
"......, woo! woo woo woo... woo woo!"
"Don't fight anymore? Why not?"
"Woo! woo!" Lying on the ground, the Golden Sword-toothed Beast looked at Xiao Baitao and shook his head repeatedly, but could not speak. Instead, it was Xiao Baitao who suddenly realized: "That's right! Why should we fight? You are not those Qinjun monks! Right?"
"Ah woo!"
The Golden Sword-toothed Beast seemed to understand what Xiao Baitao said and nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Baitao found it interesting, and seeing that the Golden Sword-toothed Beast looked weak, he couldn't bear it, so he took out a Huiyuan Pill and hesitated for a moment.
Give it? Or not?
If it was before entering Zulongju, Xiao Baitao would definitely give Huiyuan Dan to Jinjing Sabertooth Beast without hesitation; but after the baptism of Zulongju, especially in Binghuo Valley, she used a Nine-turn Huihun Dan to save the man, but was bitten back. Xiao Baitao knew that the so-called evil heart is not just talk.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Baitao still threw the Huiyuan Dan.
Anyway, her combat puppet has been charged. Even if the Jinjing Sabertooth Beast is really fierce, Xiao Baitao is not afraid that it will repay kindness with hatred.
This caution may be the biggest gain of Xiao Baitao's trip!
Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others!
Let's talk about the Jinjing Sabertooth Beast. Looking at the Huiyuan Dan that Xiao Baitao threw in front of its nose, it sniffed and smelled it. It smelled a little...
The fragrance of the pill aroused its appetite. The Jinjing Sabertooth Beast swallowed the Huiyuan Dan into its mouth and slid it into its stomach without thinking twice.
The next moment, the Golden Sword-toothed Beast realized the magic of this Yuandan.
In just a moment, the Golden Sword-toothed Beast stood up again, with its tiger head raised to the sky and its leopard body stretched out, roaring like a tiger roaring in the forest.
It was really high-spirited!
Seeing this, Xiao Baitao's face changed slightly and he retreated repeatedly. At the same time, the seventh-level combat puppet took a step forward and took a posture of fighting to the death.
Seeing this, the Golden Sword-toothed Beast suddenly stopped roaring and hummed.
"Woo! Woo woo..."
"..., you don't want to fight anymore?"
"Woo! Woo!"
"I'm glad you think so. I don't want to fight anymore!"
Xiao Baitao just said this, and a shout spread out.
"Don't be afraid, Taozi! I'm here to save you!"
The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Xiao Baitao...
