Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

Chu Wen put away his accusatory look and asked, "How did you pay tribute before?"

Yin Susu quickly answered honestly, "Every ten years, we need to offer fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones and one disciple with a high-grade single spirit root or above. If a combined cultivator emerges from the lower sect, the tribute will be doubled."

Chu Wen understood that this was a method used by the upper sect to prevent the lower sect from becoming stronger. He continued to ask:

"What if there are no single spiritual root disciples to offer?"

"One top-grade single spiritual root disciple needs twenty middle-grade single spiritual root disciples to offset, and one middle-grade single spiritual root disciple needs twenty low-grade single spiritual root disciples to offset."

Chu Wen smiled when he heard this, thinking that this rule was quite strict. He then asked:

"What about the disciples with top-grade and immortal spiritual roots? If you hide them, how will the sect know?"

Yin Susu smiled bitterly and said, "Top-grade spiritual roots are rare, let alone immortal-grade ones. If there are disciples with top-grade spiritual roots who offer their contributions, they can be exempted from paying spiritual stones for the current period. In addition, the names of disciples in the lower sect must be reported to the upper sect, and the upper sect will conduct random checks from time to time, so there is no way to fake it."

As she spoke, she revealed a playful smile and continued:

"The chief leader has wiped out nine sects in a row, which is equivalent to offending all three sects. If he only pays tribute to one, the other two will definitely not let it go."

After Yin Susu finished speaking, she turned her eyes towards the big table next to her, feeling somewhat gloating.

Even if these eleven people all have top-grade single spiritual roots, and you offer them all up, you can only last for thirty years at most. Then I'll see what you can do.

Chu Wen thought when he heard this: When he destroyed five sects more than ten years ago, no one knew his identity, so no one came to find him. Now that he has made his name known and established his own territory, he has no choice but to deal with these three sects.

Or just forget it and just hide away and practice on your own. Why bother causing so much trouble?

Chu Wen dismissed this thought as soon as it arose.

Do I really have to wait for hundreds or thousands of years before I can see Qinglian and the others?

Was he really going to let them hide in the cave with him?

What's more, I have already made a big promise to the ordinary people outside the mountain. How can I have a clear conscience if I act like a turtle now?

Seeing Chu Wen's frown, Prince Guan said:

"I wonder what the chief leader is planning?"

Chu Wen's brows relaxed when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a brilliant smile. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Guan Shizi, and said with a smile:

"I told you I'm a reckless person, I don't have any plans, please teach me, brother."

Guan Shizi drank the immortal wine in the cup and asked, "Does the chief leader have enough spiritual stones?"

Chu Wen nodded: "Enough."

"Is it true that there are only fifteen of us in the Tiandihui?"

"Yes."

"Master, do you have other teachers and friends who can help you?"

"No."

"Can that spiritual vein be moved?"

"can."

"What grade is this mountain protection formation?"

"Six Xuan levels."

Yin Susu and Lai Fu couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and both sighed that this kid actually set up six mountain protection formations, which was simply unheard of.

Guan Shizi frowned, thought for a while and then said:

"There are three strategies for now, the best, the middle and the worst. Please refer to them, Chief Leader."

"The worst option is to immediately send an envoy with spirit stones to the three sects to show their intention to submit. At the same time, they should go out of the mountains to capture the scattered single-spiritual-root cultivators of the nine sects, make them offer sacrifices wholeheartedly, and wander between the three sects, bullying and punishing them as they please."

"The middle strategy is to purchase a large earth-level formation, defend this place, and rely on the rich spiritual energy here to intensify cultivation. When your strength increases in the future, you can seek protection from a large sect."

"The best strategy is to leave this place in secret and find a place to stay somewhere else."

Chu Wen was relieved to see that Prince Guan decided that offering tribute to the three sects was the worst option. He thought to himself that he had made the right choice. He immediately replied:

"The best option is on hold, the worst option is too frustrating, let's go with the middle option first."

Yin Susu, who was originally gloating over other people's misfortunes, was shocked when she heard this and blurted out, "The chief leader has a ground-level formation?"

Chu Wen smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll just go buy one. Come on, come on, let's drink."

As he spoke, he used his magical power to draw out four balls of immortal wine from four wine jars at the same time. The four balls of immortal wine fell steadily into four wine glasses, not more, not less, just enough to fill the four glasses without spilling a drop.

This method surprised Yin Susu. Even for her with the cultivation level of a fusion body, it was not easy to do this.

"Drink, drink."

Under Chu Wen's urging, Yin Susu picked up the wine glass and asked in surprise:

"Master, is Tiandihui a major branch?"

"No."

"The chief leader is familiar with the leader?"

"Not familiar?"

"The chief leader is a son of a noble family?"

"No."

Yin Susu sat there with her wine glass in hand, looking at Chu Wen as if he were a fool:

"Then where did the chief leader get this earth-level formation?"

"Buy it."

Yin Susu sneered angrily and hatefully: "Buy?"

Chu Wen asked doubtfully, "Is it expensive?"

Yin Susu put down her wine glass, held her forehead with her hand, and sighed repeatedly.

Seeing her acting like this, Chu Wen was stunned: "Can't buy it?"

Yin Susu cursed inwardly and said:

"Chief Leader, the Earth-level formation can protect against monks who are undergoing tribulations. How can it be bought and sold at will?"

This is quite new. There are things that cannot be bought with money. Chu Wen asked, "Why is that?"

Yin Susu was speechless: "The Earth Rank formation is so complicated that only large-scale weapon-refining sects can refine it. There is a difference between the upper and lower levels. How can those large sects let small sects get this thing?"

Chu Wen understood immediately after hearing this. It turned out that this thing was not unavailable, but was not allowed to be purchased.

"So, your superior sect has another superior sect?"

Yin Susu nodded: "That's right."

Chu Wen frowned upon seeing this: "If this is the case, even if a calamity-crossing or scattered immortal comes, the Earth-level formation won't be able to defend against it."

Yin Susu replied: "Don't worry about that. The leaders of the three sects are all on Mount Xumi, and the immortals who have transcended the tribulation will not take action for a few miscellaneous spiritual veins."

Chu Wen felt relieved after hearing that. If it was just a matter of dealing with a combined cultivator, it would be much easier.

Since the Earth-level formation cannot be purchased, why not just steal one?

"Come on, come on, drink some wine. By the way, Susu, your Xuan-level formation seems to be much better than other formations of the same level. How did you get it?"

These words made Yin Susu so angry that her eyes spit fire: "Do you know how much my master paid to obtain this Xuan-level formation?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wen recalled the information he had obtained from soul searching. Thinking that this formation was obtained at the cost of all Yin Susu's master's wealth and even Yin Susu's body, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.

He winked at Yin Susu mischievously and said with a smile: "Oh, I get it. I'll treat you well in the future."

Yin Susu was shocked to realize that she had lost her composure and actually gave a cold look to this boy who held the power of life and death. Seeing that he did not take it as a surprise, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he remembered that this kid had searched his soul and knew everything about his master selling him out to the upper sect. He felt ashamed and angry and his face turned red.

Chu Wen drank a glass of wine, then filled it up, raised his glass to Yin Susu and said:

"I will punish myself twice as much, and I promise to give you a better one in the future, okay?"

Yin Susu was surprised to see Chu Wen behaving like this. His sunny face was exactly the same as when they first met, like a young boy who was ignorant of the world, not like a devil who had destroyed nine sects.

She couldn't help but be stunned. For some reason, she felt a little happy in her heart. She picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Chu Wen's. They both drank a glass together.

Just after I finished drinking, I heard Chu Wen ask:

"Susu, you are familiar with this place. If you can't buy it, where can you steal it?"
