Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing had been watching the battle for a long time, waiting for this very sentence. He had been worried that this person would be stubborn, relying on that special elixir to fight to the end. If they really fought like that, there would inevitably be some damage, and then it would be difficult to speak.

Immediately, he smiled and shouted, "Brother Ape, please step back a few steps and let me have a few words with this fellow Daoist Guan." This sentence both indicated his relationship with the giant ape and sent a signal to the cultivator that he wanted to talk.

Seeing the giant ape retreat ten zhang away, Guan Yinglong also put away the Bloodshed Shovel, stood still, cupped his fist and said to Zhang Yuanjing, "Guan Yinglong of Crimson Blood Valley greets fellow Daoist. May I ask for your name?"

Although Zhang Yuanjing was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, since he had such a powerful demon core realm spirit beast, he naturally had to adopt an equal posture.

"Zhang Jing greets fellow Daoist Guan," Zhang Yuanjing said calmly with a bow. He had already guessed the identity of the person and was not surprised.

"So fellow Daoist is the Zhang Daoren that Senior Brother Ling Jianzi never forgets. It seems he has been defeated!" Guan Yinglong's face darkened, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He strongly advocated issuing a Profound Yin Token to Ling Jianzi, partly to retaliate for the discord of that year, but more for the interests of the sect, otherwise he would not have received the support of most elders. However, Ling Jianzi was narrow-minded and stubborn, and was slow to set off, so he, the instigator, had to personally come to urge him. Unexpectedly, before he could go to Profound Yin Mountain, he died in a duel. This matter would be difficult to explain to the sect.

"That's right, fellow Daoist Ling Jianzi got what he wanted, and can be considered to have died well!" Zhang Yuanjing had gained some experience from the decisive battle, knowing that Ling Jianzi wanted to fight him to the death, not just to win or lose, so he said this.

Guan Yinglong, however, heard something else in his words, and couldn't help but think, "Could it be that Ling Jianzi deliberately avoided going, wanting to embarrass me?" He remembered what Ling Zhuzi said after arguing with Ling Jianzi a few days ago, "Senior brother regards the duel with Zhang Daoren as a great opportunity, to cut out a great path with the sword in his hand," and immediately understood Ling Jianzi's plan: kill a strong enemy and take the opportunity to break through, then there would be no need to go to the Profound Yin Cave; otherwise, death would end everything.

"So, fellow Daoist knew in advance that Senior Brother Ling Jianzi was determined to die?" Guan Yinglong asked tentatively.

"He has been defeated, but he doesn't escape, of course he is determined to die!" Zhang Yuanjing looked at him strangely, puzzled by his entanglement in this matter.

Guan Yinglong thought that it was indeed so, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. After he advanced to the Core Formation realm, he tried his best to persuade several elders to promote this matter, but it turned out like this, wouldn't it be a joke in the valley.

"Fellow Daoist Guan, what brings you here?" Zhang Yuanjing saw that Guan Yinglong's face was uncertain, not knowing what he was thinking, so he asked.

Guan Yinglong was awakened by his question, and suddenly realized that he was still in a dangerous situation. If he didn't respond well, he might lose his life. Immediately he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ling Jianzi is still a disciple of my valley, please allow me to take care of his affairs. In addition, there are two items that were passed down from the sect and need to be taken away, please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

"Oh, what are the two items?" Zhang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that this person was indeed clever. From his action of calling out Ape Thirteen, he had already guessed that he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Crimson Blood Valley.

"A secret manual and a token. The secret manual is the Yin Yang Demon Slaughtering Blade, and the token is the Profound Yin Token."

As Guan Yinglong spoke, he carefully observed Zhang Yuanjing's expression. He keenly noticed that when he said the Yin Yang Demon Slaughtering Blade, this person had no reaction, but when he said the words "Profound Yin Token", his pupils shrank slightly.

He also used his mana to look up and down, seeing that the person was standing still, his mysterious energy soaring, and his aura was thick, obviously he had obtained a superior inheritance, which was probably no weaker than the Crimson Blood Valley's unique skill "Asura Riot Sutra".

Zhang Yuanjing hesitated for a moment before saying, "These two items are ultimately this poor Daoist's spoils of war. What are you prepared to exchange for them, fellow Daoist?"

Guan Yinglong pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Does fellow Daoist know the origin of the Profound Yin Token?"

"I know a little," Zhang Yuanjing replied calmly.

Hearing this, Guan Yinglong smiled slightly and said to himself, "Five million miles west of here, there is a large mountain with a radius of ten thousand miles, called Profound Yin Mountain. There is a medium-sized sect in the mountain called Star Moon Gate, which is quite powerful, with a dozen Core Formation cultivators in the sect.

"There is a deep cave in Profound Yin Mountain called Profound Yin Cave, which contains a strange grass, also named Profound Yin. Profound Yin grass can be used to refine Enlightenment Pills. After a Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator takes it, there is a one to two percent chance of breaking through the realm and entering the Pseudo-Core realm.

"However, Profound Yin grass is not easy to pick. This grass releases a kind of yin attribute poison, which infects the cultivator's divine soul, especially damaging to the spirit soul and primordial spirit, so cultivators above the Pseudo-Core realm cannot enter. Therefore, Star Moon Gate agreed with the other five medium-sized sects that every sixty years, each sect would send ten Foundation Establishment cultivators into the Profound Yin Cave to collect Profound Yin grass, and at the same time distribute Enlightenment Pills according to their contributions.

"For thousands of years, it is precisely by relying on Enlightenment Pills that the six sects have always maintained their strength, overwhelming other forces and controlling the surrounding millions of miles. So, fellow Daoist Zhang, this token is actually related to the fundamental interests of my Crimson Blood Valley!"

Zhang Yuanjing had heard Lao Deren talk about the Profound Yin Token, which was more detailed than what this person said, so he said calmly, "Since the Profound Yin Token is so important, fellow Daoist can just exchange it for something, why talk so much?"

Guan Yinglong turned a deaf ear to Zhang Yuanjing's question and continued, "This yin poison is dangerous, but it will weaken for about a year every sixty years. Moreover, Star Moon Gate has also specially refined a Yang Guarding Pill, which can help Foundation Establishment cultivators entering the Profound Yin Cave protect their divine souls.

"The real danger is that there is also a kind of Yin Fire Bat in the cave that feeds on Profound Yin grass and its poisonous gas. This beast is very strong. After adulthood, a single one has the strength of the Spirit Awakening realm, and they also move in groups. Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators will not be able to gain any advantage against them. Hehe, fellow Daoist Zhang, it is not easy for my Crimson Blood Valley to find a few powerful Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators. Senior Brother Ling Jianzi can be considered the strongest, and the sect has high hopes for him. Unexpectedly, before he could leave the school, he died. Guan is not able to explain to the sect."

The last few sentences carried a hint of threat.

Zhang Yuanjing sneered, "How you explain it has nothing to do with this poor Daoist! Could it be that you want this poor Daoist to go to the Profound Yin Cave for Ling Jianzi?"

Hearing this, Guan Yinglong immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "That's exactly what I mean! I see that fellow Daoist's bones are not many, and your lifespan should not be long. Don't you want to take a gamble? According to the agreement between Star Moon Gate and the other five sects, anyone who enters the cave to collect grass can exchange a grass for an Enlightenment Pill. This is for personal use and does not need to be handed over to the sect."

Zhang Yuanjing originally saw that this person explained the origin of the Profound Yin Token to him in detail for no reason, but avoided the key points, and had already guessed that this person had a plan, or even harbored evil intentions. Therefore, although he really wanted to go to Profound Yin Mountain to gamble for the Enlightenment Pill, he did not dare to agree casually without figuring out the other party's true intentions.

Immediately, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "This poor Daoist has no friendship with your sect, but instead has enmity. Isn't your sect afraid that this poor Daoist will abscond with the token, or sell it to others?"

Guan Yinglong smiled and said, "I believe fellow Daoist will not!"

"Oh, what do you believe?"

"That involves a great opportunity! I don't know if fellow Daoist has heard of it?"

"What great opportunity?"

"It seems that fellow Daoist is concentrating on cultivation and doesn't care much about the movements of the cultivation world in the last ten years!" Guan Yinglong smiled meaningfully, "In this area, which is usually said to be the area controlled by the 'Six Sect Alliance', especially among the loose cultivators, there is a rumor that this time the Profound Yin Cave is opened, there will be a great opportunity, and Foundation Establishment Completion will definitely become Pseudo-Core. Fellow Daoist wouldn't be completely unaware of this, would you?"

Zhang Yuanjing looked calm and shook his head, saying, "I have indeed never heard of it. I wonder if this rumor is true or false? What exactly is this great opportunity? I wonder if fellow Daoist Guan can answer this poor Daoist!"

Guan Yinglong pondered for a moment before saying, "The rumor, of course, is not true. Guan might as well open the skylight and speak frankly, this rumor is just a means of infighting between the six sects. Fellow Daoist, think about it, if it is really a great opportunity for Foundation Establishment cultivators, how could such news be leaked out, wouldn't it be better for the six sects to share it themselves?

"For more than ten years, this rumor has been rampant and spread widely. Many people believe it to be true, and do not hesitate to kill people and seize tokens, setting off bloody storms. Not to mention the affiliated forces of the five sects, even in the headquarters, some Foundation Establishment cultivators' Profound Yin Tokens have been snatched by loose cultivators. The five sects put pressure on Star Moon Gate, but Star Moon Gate insisted not to punish the cultivators who snatched the Profound Yin Tokens, but instead declared that they only recognize tokens and not people, and anyone holding a token can enter the Profound Yin Cave. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire and encouraging robbery? Who leaked the news and what is the intention, isn't it obvious at a glance!

"This time the Profound Yin Cave is related to the balance of power between Star Moon Gate and the other five sects, so it is extremely important to the six sects. The purpose of the five sects is nothing more than two: one is to prevent Star Moon Gate from increasing its strength, and the other is to seize a treasure to enhance their own strength. And this treasure is the so-called great opportunity, but its effect is not to allow Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators to directly break through to Pseudo-Core."

"Treasure? What is it?" Zhang Yuanjing asked suspiciously.

"This, please forgive me for not being able to say clearly. However, as long as you see this thing, you will definitely know it is it. Because, that kind of treasure is what Core Formation Completion cultivators are eager to get!"

"Core Formation Completion needed! Used to break through to Nascent Soul?" Zhang Yuanjing was shocked.

"Hehe, Guan said, you will know when you see it. If you haven't seen it, Guan telling you will only add to your troubles."

"So, fellow Daoist Guan wants to ask this poor Daoist to find this thing for your Crimson Blood Valley?"

"Not for Crimson Blood Valley, but for yourself!"

"Since it is needed by Core Formation Completion cultivators, it is useless to this poor Daoist."

"Hehe, fellow Daoist is wrong! Such a precious thing, where can't you exchange it for what you need. The Enlightenment Pills of Star Moon Gate are also divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. With that treasure, exchanging for a few high-grade pills is more than enough!"

Zhang Yuanjing became more and more confused as he listened, and couldn't help but ask, "This doesn't seem to be of any benefit to your sect, does it?"

Guan Yinglong smiled and said, "If fellow Daoist trades with my Crimson Blood Valley, wouldn't there be benefits!"

"Oh, what conditions does your sect offer?"

"As long as Crimson Blood Valley can offer it, fellow Daoist can ask for it!"

"Can fellow Daoist decide?"

Guan Yinglong laughed loudly, "Of course. If fellow Daoist can get that thing, Crimson Blood Valley will treat you as a distinguished guest and regard you as a great benefactor. What can't we offer!"

Zhang Yuanjing would not believe such exaggerated words, but instead asked coldly, "If this poor Daoist gets that treasure, I will definitely exchange it for Enlightenment Pills. The most suitable choice seems to be not to trade with your sect, but to trade with Star Moon Gate. Looking at it this way, wouldn't fellow Daoist's plan fall through?"

Guan Yinglong said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, don't think about this matter too simply. Star Moon Gate regards that kind of treasure as a treasure, how can they allow you to take it to trade with them! Even if they are forced to trade with you, do you really think you can walk out of the Profound Yin Mountain alive? Guan is telling you the truth, any loose cultivator who gets that treasure will definitely not be able to get out of Profound Yin Mountain without the protection of the five sect cultivators.

"Although fellow Daoist is strong and has a demon core realm spirit beast to protect you, you have no chance of escaping safely. Star Moon Gate has fifteen Core Formation cultivators, four of whom are above the late Core Formation stage, and whether it is cultivation method inheritance or magic treasure spirit talisman, they are extremely powerful, not something that ordinary Core Formation cultivators can resist.

"Of course, fellow Daoist can also trade with the other four sects in Profound Yin Mountain and get their protection. Therefore, Guan is giving fellow Daoist the Profound Yin Token today, and only needs a promise from fellow Daoist: if the five sects offer similar prices, please give priority to trading with my Crimson Blood Valley."

Zhang Yuanjing thought for a moment, and felt that Guan Yinglong's words were mostly untrue, and that there might be other secrets about the so-called treasure, and it might also involve the dispute between the five sects and Star Moon Gate.

In this way, he couldn't help but think that if the rumor about the great opportunity in Profound Yin Cave was released by Star Moon Gate to weaken the power of the five sects going to Profound Yin Cave, then the five sects were not idle either, and they might also be using this rumor to send people around to persuade loose cultivators to seize that treasure, to get something for nothing and use other people's strength.

He immediately smiled bitterly in his heart, lamenting those bewitched loose cultivators, who were first used as guns by Star Moon Gate to weaken the strength of the five sects, and then, like himself, they would face the coercion and temptation of the five sects to take chestnuts out of the fire for them. Alas, it is not easy to be a loose cultivator!

Zhang Yuanjing guessed that the other party must have a way to force him to submit, otherwise he would never give up a Profound Yin Token casually. However, his lifespan was coming to an end, and he was determined to get this Profound Yin Token, so he couldn't care so much. So he asked, "How long is it before the Profound Yin Cave opens?"

Guan Yinglong smiled slightly, stretched out two fingers, and said, "No more than two years at most! The specific time will have to be asked to the people of Star Moon Gate. Fellow Daoist, hurry up and travel to Six Mountains Immortal City, and you will know."

Zhang Yuanjing didn't say much, handed the Yin Yang Demon Slaughtering Blade secret manual to Guan Yinglong. After the person left, he gave Ape Thirteen a few words, and still let it stay in Divine Sword Peak. He then drove his flying sword back to his cave.
