Chapter 401: Transaction with Two People
Ye Changsheng took out another small bottle and poured out a blue ointment with a strange smell.
He fell on the bronze lamp, then flicked his finger and a flame popped out, lighting the ancient bronze lamp.
During the entire process, his movements were extremely slow, as if he was guarding against the old man with a goatee with every move.
It seemed that as long as the other party made the slightest movement, he would immediately leave these things behind and run away.
The old man with the goatee was not at all unhappy when he saw his actions. Instead, he showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
As the bronze lamp was lit, a strange smell emanated, enveloping the hill.
The old man with a goatee stood there without showing anything unusual.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please forgive me, senior!"
"It's okay. Brother Daoist Ye is right. Everyone in our group has the possibility of being possessed by the Shadow Clan. Everyone must be checked!" said the old man with a goat beard with a smile.
Ye Changsheng's bronze lamp is a common method used by humans to check whether they are possessed by the Shadow Clan.
As long as it is not a fusion-level purple shadow possession, it can be detected.
Of course, if he was possessed by a fusion-level purple shadow, even if Ye Changsheng found out, he would not be able to deal with it.
While the two were talking, a ray of light flashed in the distance, and soon Zhao Wugui appeared here, looking weak.
He looked at the two of them , then slowly walked down the hillside. Then he saw the bronze lamp burning in front of Ye Changsheng, and his expression relaxed slightly.
"Brother Zhao has returned safely, which is cause for celebration!" said the old man with a goatee with a smile.
Zhao Wugui nodded: "Luckily I escaped with my life!"
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ye arrived earlier than me!" Zhao Wugui said with some surprise.
"The red shadow that was chasing me suddenly turned back for some reason. It was because of this that I was able to escape unscathed!" Ye Changsheng said with a look of fear on his face.
Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goatee looked at each other after hearing this, not knowing whether they believed it or not.
The three of them sat on the hill and waited quietly.
After a full quarter of an hour, a ray of light appeared again on the horizon. When the light came closer, the figure of the old man with rosacea was revealed inside.
When this person saw the three people gathered here, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he quickly approached.
But when he saw the burning bronze lamp on the hillside, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and flew away without saying a word.
"Hmph! Get started!"
With a cold snort, Zhao Wugui, the old man with a goatee, and Ye Changsheng rushed out at the same time, attacking the old man with rosacea.
"boom!"
A huge wave spread out, and the body of the old man with rosacea was destroyed in an instant, and a red shadow flew out from it.
"It's actually Chiying, don't let it run away!" Zhao Wugui shouted immediately when he saw this man.
“Boom!”
All kinds of precious lights flew out, and the three of them attacked with all their strength. After a while, the red shadow was killed, and the corpse was put into a special magic weapon by everyone, ready to be handed over to the Strange Spirit Hall after returning.
Returning to the hill, Zhao Wugui sighed, "I wonder how many fellow Taoists will be able to come back alive this time?"
"It is not advisable to stay here for long. Let's wait here for a day. After a day, no matter how many people come back, we will leave here immediately!" said the old man with a goatee with a gloomy face.
At the same time, a miniature golden boat appeared in his hand, with the help of which the three of them could teleport away quickly.
Ye Changsheng and Zhao Wugui both nodded upon hearing this, and immediately released their spiritual awareness to search everything around them.
Their spiritual sense can see everything clearly within thousands of miles, and the range of their perception reaches tens of thousands of miles away.
If there is any sign of trouble, they can immediately use the Golden Court Boat to teleport away.
They were taking a certain risk by staying here and waiting.
Although the Shadow Clan will not obtain the memories of the devoured, if the opponent knows the place where they gather through soul searching, it is still possible to catch up.
For example, the old man with rosacea just now, it was obvious that his Nascent Soul was captured and his soul was searched.
Fortunately, the strongest man on the other side is Chi Ying, who would be killed by the three of them if he rushed over alone.
If it's a fusion-level Purple Shadow, they will be in big trouble soon!
But then again, if Ziying really was there, none of them would be able to escape.
Immediately, after waiting for several hours, beams of light flew over one after another, and these people were extremely cautious when approaching.
His eyes were full of suspicion.
It wasn't until I saw the bronze lamp that I felt relieved and relaxed.
The Shadow Clan's possession ability really made everyone panic.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the people who flew back this time.
"It seems that those people from the Shadow Clan also realized that we can't catch up, so they gave up the pursuit!" said the old man with a goatee, stroking his beard.
"Hmph, how can we let this go after suffering such a loss this time? We just happened to learn that the Shadow Clan is going to conduct a trial. We will report it to them. We will definitely not let the Shadow Clan's trial go too easily this time!" Zhao Wugui snorted coldly and said with a grim expression.
Ye Changsheng looked around and sighed in his heart.
After this wave, only two of the four Jindan cultivators survived. Besides him, only a big man in brocade robe flew back here.
The remaining two, the old man with rosacea and the woman surnamed Sun, both died.
As for the members of his Qingming Guard team, they suffered heavy losses, and only three of them have returned so far.
Two of them were the couple who had survived the previous mission in which the entire team was nearly wiped out before he took over as captain.
It seems that these two people are indeed worthy of praise when it comes to saving their lives.
The crowd continued to wait for a few hours , until it was dark, and then several figures flew over one after another.
When he saw Xu Qianyu appear, Ye Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. So far, a total of four people in his team survived.
The situation was similar for several other Qingming Guard teams, with almost half of their members missing.
The old man with a goatee stood up from the ground, glanced around with a gloomy expression, and said, "No need to wait, let's go!"
"The remaining people, even if they are alive, since they didn't make it here, they should just take care of themselves!" He sighed and took out the Jin Tingzhou.
After a while, everyone disappeared from here.
This went on for another seven or eight days, and after they had gone through several dangerous places, they finally returned to Tianyuan City.
After setting foot in this city, everyone was obviously relieved. Each of their faces showed fatigue, but also a sense of relaxation.
"Haha, although the losses this time are not small, the gains for you fellow Taoists are also great enough. After a hundred years of cultivation, your strength can be improved a lot!" said the old man with a goat beard with a smile.
"Senior Li is right. After this mission, we need to rest well for a while!" said the big man in brocade robe with a sigh.
Everyone bowed and said goodbye one after another. When Ye Changsheng was about to leave, Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goat beard suddenly called him.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, when we escaped that day, the last Thousand Heart Flower seemed to have fallen into your hands?" The old man with a goat beard asked casually.
Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, I caught the last Thousand Heart Flower at that time!"
The old man with the goat beard and Zhao Wugui exchanged a glance, both of them smiled. Zhao Wugui said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you are still in the early stage of transformation. I'm afraid you won't be able to use this Thousand Heart Flower in the short term!"
"It would be better to exchange it for various cultivation resources suitable for Divine Transformation cultivators to quickly improve my strength!"
"What do you mean, senior?" Ye Changsheng asked, with a look of understanding in his eyes.
"Originally, the Thousand Heart Flower should have belonged to the two of us, and we had already agreed on its distribution. But now that the situation has changed and the Thousand Heart Flower has fallen into the hands of Fellow Daoist Ye, the two of us can no longer demand it by force!"
"However, we are not willing to let go of such a precious elixir easily. It happens that we both have quite a few elixirs that can be used in the Spirit Transformation Stage. How about Fellow Daoist Ye trading with us?" The old man with a goat beard said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng touched his chin, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After a moment, he slowly said: "I had no intention of keeping this Thousand Heart Flower for myself. I wanted to sell it, but since the two seniors want it, it's fine to sell it to them!"
Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goat beard were delighted when they heard this. Zhao Wugui said quickly, "It's good that Fellow Daoist Ye is willing to trade. Just ask for any elixir you want. As long as we have it, we will definitely not keep it for ourselves!"
Ye Changsheng shook his head: "Although the elixir is also very precious, for me, the spirit stones are more important for the time being. Why don't you two seniors take out some spirit stones and buy them!"
Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goatee had puzzled looks in their eyes when they heard this, both of them looked a little strange.
Zhao Wugui's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you are not the kind of person who cannot tell which is more important, spiritual stones or elixirs. The elixirs we both have are all top-quality products. Under normal circumstances, you can't buy them. Are you sure you don't want to exchange them for elixirs, but spiritual stones?"
Ye Changsheng smiled bitterly: "How could I not be tempted by the elixirs of the two seniors? If possible, of course I want to exchange for elixirs!"
"Unfortunately, I heard that there will be an item I urgently need at an auction in a few years. In order to buy it, I need to prepare enough spirit stones in advance, so I can only exchange some spirit stones from the two seniors!"
"I see. If that's the case, then we two won't say anything more!"
Zhao Wugui shook his head strangely when he heard this, and immediately took out 20 million spirit stones and bought the Thousand Heart Flower from Ye Changsheng.
After Ye Changsheng left, the two Void Refining cultivators looked at his back with changing expressions in their eyes.
"What do you think?" After a moment, Zhao Wugui suddenly turned his head and looked at the old man with a goatee and asked.
The old man with a goatee stroked his beard and asked calmly, "What are you asking, Brother Zhao? Are you asking me what I think of the fact that he doesn't want elixirs but wants spirit stones, or what do you think of his performance along the way?"
"Of course it's his performance along the way. There's nothing to say about the spirit stone. It's understandable that he prepared it for the auction!" Zhao Wugui said lightly.
"Speaking of his performance along the way, this Taoist fellow has really amazed me. He has such magical powers at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. Do you think that when he reaches the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, he will be able to compete with us, the Void Refinement cultivators?" said the old man with a goat beard lightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wugui's expression changed immediately.
Being able to compete with the Void Refining level at the Spirit Transformation level is a strength that spans a great realm, and there are very few people in history who can do it.
And each of those people has a great reputation.
"Speaking of which, what concerns me most is that he was able to escape from the hands of that red shadow. This boy's magical power is truly unfathomable!" said the old man with a goat beard.
Zhao Wugui nodded woodenly: "If I face him, I am sure I can defeat him, but I definitely can't kill him!"
"He must have some hidden means that he has never shown to us, and this means can even pose a threat to Void Refining cultivators!"
The old man with a goatee smiled when he heard this: "What's so strange about this? Which cultivator who can cultivate to this level doesn't have some secrets?"
"This Fellow Daoist Ye may just have a bigger secret than ours. Haha, I think he will probably grow up to be a real big shot in the future!"
"Hehe, maybe he will be the third ascended elder of the Tianyuan City Elder Council in the future!" Zhao Wugui seemed to have thought of something and said with a grin.
The old man with a goatee nodded. With the amazing fighting power displayed by Ye Changsheng, it seemed very likely that he would become a cultivator of the fusion level in the future.
"If not, why would we propose to exchange the elixir for the Thousand Heart Flower?" said the old man with a goat beard calmly.
The corner of Zhao Wugui's eye twitched, and he chuckled, "If it was someone else who got the Thousand Heart Flower, we wouldn't be so easy to talk to!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
If someone other than Ye Changsheng had obtained the Thousand Heart Flower, they would most likely have asked for it directly.
After all, it was agreed that the Qianxin Flower would belong to them.
But since it is Ye Changsheng, the two of them have to be cautious.
Even though they are Void Refining cultivators, one realm higher than Ye Changsheng, they are not willing to provoke this person easily.
"Let's go, we have to report the Shadow Clan monks' trial!" said the old man with a goat beard, turning and walking away.
Zhao Wugui followed immediately.
In the cave, Ye Changsheng closed the ban, breathed a sigh of relief, and completely relaxed.
"It was really dangerous! Whenever I encountered a purple shadow..." Ye Changsheng felt terrified when he recalled this experience.
After sitting for a while, he took out his harvest.
A Thousand Heart Flower, the corpse of an adult Green-Eyed True Toad, and 20 million spirit stones.
After deducting the cost of copying the Thousand Heart Flower, there are still 16 million spirit stones left.
A great harvest!
