Immortal Road

After Patriarch Qi finished speaking, Shichuan immediately took out the storage bag, and then took out treasures one by one from the storage bag.

The first one was the eighteen Qinggang swords, the second one was the Yunqing sword, and the third one was a top-grade defensive soft armor. Shichuan got two in total, and wore one himself.

Then, Shichuan also took out hundreds of spiritual herbs that he had eliminated from the Immortal Mansion. These spiritual herbs were already flooded in the Immortal Mansion, but for the cultivators of the Southern Liang countries, they were also very rare treasures. The cultivators in the foundation-building period would certainly flock to them. As for whether Patriarch Qi was tempted, Shichuan didn't know.

Patriarch Qi showed a little surprise on his face. Obviously, he didn't expect that Shichuan would take out his treasures without any hesitation. You know, most cultivators regard their storage bags as more important than their lives.

These treasures are naturally the best of the best.

Especially the eighteen Qinggang swords, Patriarch Qi took them into his hands without hesitation and looked at them carefully.

Ishikawa quickly took out the refining method of seventy-two Qinggang swords from the storage bag and handed them over.

Patriarch Qi stared at the eighteen Qinggang swords for a quarter of an hour, then sighed and put them in front of Ishikawa with a very disappointed look.

These eighteen Qinggang swords are different from other spiritual weapons. After Ishikawa used a special method to refine them, they have become a part of Ishikawa. Even if Patriarch Qi took the swords away, they would be useless.

This was within Ishikawa's calculation.

When Patriarch Qi said that before, Ishikawa became suspicious. Ishikawa did have some connection with Patriarch Qi, but those were trivial matters that were not worth mentioning.

In Patriarch Qi's hundreds of years of cultivation, he had seen countless people and things, and he would never favor Ishikawa so much for a few small things.

Ishikawa concluded that Patriarch Qi must have something else in his words.

And the reason why Patriarch Qi said that was naturally because he wanted to get useful information from Ishikawa. Ishikawa guessed that if Patriarch Qi got useful information, it would be fine, but if he didn't, he would most likely use coercive means.

In front of a Jindan-stage cultivator, Ishikawa had no room to resist at all.

At this moment, Ishikawa also felt an inexplicable pressure and an urgency to practice.

In this world of cultivation where the weak are the prey of the strong, only by working hard to improve one's cultivation and strength can one survive.

If Patriarch Qi didn't get useful information, he would most likely take extraordinary measures, and Ishikawa wouldn't be surprised even if he used evil methods such as soul-searching.

The first thing Ishikawa did now was to make Patriarch Qi not interested in his storage bag. If Patriarch Qi was shameless and searched for the storage bag of a foundation-building cultivator, I'm afraid no one else would know about it.

Ishikawa took out all the treasures he could take out of his body. He placed them neatly one by one. Without saying anything, he waited for the question from Patriarch Qi.

After Shichuan took out the last spiritual herb from the storage bag, he took out a small bottle from his arms. In this small bottle, there was a foundation-building pill.

Shichuan noticed that Patriarch Qi's expression had eased a lot.

Of course, Shichuan would not take out all the treasures, such as the blue flame, the remaining bones of the demon dragon, and the Fire Feather Sword that Shichuan had just obtained.

What Shichuan took out were all very precious treasures for the cultivators in the foundation-building stage, but for the cultivators in the golden elixir stage, they were dispensable.

Only the eighteen Qing Gang swords were made from the ribs of the demon dragon, but the Qing Gang swords were useless to Patriarch Qi.

Patriarch Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I just want to ask you what happened in the ancient ruins. Do you think that a dying man like me would be interested in the treasures of a junior like you?"

Shichuan hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't mean that. These treasures are enough to show my journey."

Shichuan picked up the eighteen Qinggang swords and said, "I just found a huge monster dragon skeleton after entering the ancient ruins. I was lucky to get these eighteen ribs and refined them into a magic weapon."

"Where are the other skeletons?" Patriarch Qi was obviously a little excited.

"If I dig such a huge monster dragon skeleton by myself, I'm afraid it will take more than one or two months to dig it out. There are many cultivators who enter the ancient ruins, so naturally they got it." Shichuan said lightly.

"The skull of the demon dragon was also taken away by them?"

Shi Chuan said with a surprised face: "Skull, what's the use of skull? I think these 18 ribs are the best. They just fit the refining method of Qing Gang Sword, and they are exactly the same."

However, how could Qi Laozu not know the benefits of Qing Gang Sword? If he got these 18 ribs and refined them into 18 Qing Gang Swords, it would be the first choice.

However, these ribs have been refined by Shi Chuan, and now they are of no use to him.

"The skull is the most precious part of the demon dragon. The ancient cultivators said: It is better to take one head than ten tendons. It means that it is better to take the skull of a demon dragon than ten tendons. You are really giving up the main thing for the end, giving up the main thing for the end!" Qi Laozu looked regretful.

"Is that so?" Shi Chuan suddenly stood up: "This skull was taken away by the people of the Spirit Beast Sect."

"Forget it!" Qi Laozu comforted: "It's gone, you continue to talk."

Shichuan cleared his throat and told the story of refining the Qinggang Sword and being besieged by the Qingyun Sect monks, naturally not mentioning the foundation-building monks.

"So, the Qingyun Sect monks were already prepared." Patriarch Qi nodded and said, "I have also seen the blood-red flying sword you mentioned. This sword can absorb people's essence and blood. Could it be that the Qingyun Sect wants to practice some evil magic?"

Patriarch Qi shook his head again and asked Shichuan to continue.

Most of the things in the ancient ruins were omitted by Shichuan. Shichuan exaggerated the origins of these treasures.

The general meaning is that Shichuan was surprised to see so many spiritual herbs, collected a large number of them, and accidentally got a few foundation-building pills. He quickly escaped from the exit, took advantage of the chaos, escaped from Qingyun Sect, and found a place to build a foundation before returning.

The sooner you escape from Qingyun Sect, the easier it is to be believed.

Shichuan didn't want to tell Patriarch Qi about the valley under Qingyun Sect.

"So, you stayed in the ancient ruins for a short time?" Patriarch Qi asked with some disbelief.

"I entered the ancient ruins to find some treasures. If I could find the foundation-building pill, that would be great. Once I got the foundation-building pill, how could I dare to stay. So I hurried out. At that time, Qingyunmen seemed to have blocked the mountain gate, but it was not impossible to go down the mountain."

"Oh! That's it." Patriarch Qi nodded: "I heard that there are many treasures in the Tianyuan Treasury?"

"Treasure House, I haven't heard of it." Ishikawa said lightly.

"Do you think I don't know? If you don't enter the Tianyuan Treasury, how can there be a foundation-building pill." Patriarch Qi's voice suddenly became stern, and he shouted angrily, which shocked Ishikawa's mind.

"Junior has never heard of it." Ishikawa said without hesitation.

Once you enter the Tianyuan Treasury, you can't get out at all, and entering the Tianyuan Treasury is more than 20 days after the treasure house is opened. At that time, the cultivators of various sects in Qingyunmen have already died.

This is naturally the opposite of what Ishikawa said before.

Ishikawa would definitely not make such a mistake. Patriarch Qi must have wanted to find Ishikawa's loopholes, but unfortunately, when Ishikawa said the first word, he had already planned what to say and what not to say in his mind.

So the words he said were seamless, so that Patriarch Qi could not find any loopholes.

"It's a pity to go to the ancient ruins but not to the Tianyuan Treasury." Patriarch Qi shook his head and said, his face regained that indifferent look.

"Okay, the main purpose of asking you to come is to tell you that you are now one of the ten deacons of the Five Spirits Sect. This is the practice of the Five Spirits Sect. The ten of you are responsible for the major and minor matters of the Five Spirits Sect. The specific division of labor will be discussed after the other people arrive."

Ishikawa bowed his hands and was about to say a few words of excuse.

Patriarch Qi waved his hand, and Ishikawa appeared in the hall he had just entered.

There were already nine people standing in this hall. Among them, there were actually three people that Ishikawa was familiar with. Elder Yun from the Shuiling Sect, Elder Huo from the Huoling Sect, and the cultivator surnamed Tao from the Tuling Sect.

Although the cave house was not big, the people stood very far away. The Tuling Sect and the Muling Sect seemed to be closer. The Jinling Sect was unique. As for Elder Yun, he stood alone at the entrance.

When these people saw Ishikawa, they all showed surprise on their faces. These people were all the rulers of the five sects. Most of them were in the late and middle stages of foundation building. For example, the cultivator surnamed Tao from the Tuling Sect was at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, which was rare.

And Ishikawa was a cultivator of the tenth level of Qi training.

Of course, some people have been informed that there was a Shuiling Sect cultivator who seemed to be in the tenth level of Qi training, so that Elder Huo of the Huoling Sect did not get any advantage, and was directly appointed as the deacon elder by Patriarch Qi.

There were also many people who did not get this information, such as Elder Yun of Shuiling Sect. He was the only foundation-building cultivator in Shuiling Sect, and no one informed him of the news.

And it seemed that Elder Huo, who had been on good terms with him before, seemed to keep a certain distance from him.

"Shi... Shichuan!" Elder Yun shouted Shichuan's name in disbelief.

He originally thought that Shichuan would die after entering the ancient ruins. Unexpectedly, Shichuan not only came out safely, but was also designated as one of the ten deacons and elders.

The ten deacons and elders are below Patriarch Qi and above all the cultivators of Wuling Sect. They have a very high status.

"Win him over, must win him over!" This was the only thought in Elder Yun's mind. Now Shuiling Sect only has Elder Yun, a foundation-building cultivator, who barely got a position as a deacon elder. Shuiling Sect has no possibility of prosperity, and the appearance of Shichuan has given Elder Yun hope.
