Chapter 617 – Mountain Gate Reopened
Chapter 617: Mountain Gate Reopened
The three waited for five or six days, and finally waited for Xu Chuniang.
After hearing the proposal of several people, she refused without thinking.
“Since Master Sheng said that he would let you guys take five spirit mines in exchange, then five spirit mines, not one less.”
“Five Spirit Ores in exchange for one Spirit Vein, Fellow Daoist is not being too deceitful!”
The old man surnamed Zhao blew his beard and glared, if it wasn’t for the tightness of the spirit veins in his sect, he wouldn’t even want to give up three spirit mines.
Xu Chuniang was originally ready to leave, but after hearing this, she turned around and her gaze fell on the three of them.
“Your Excellency wants spirit veins, why didn’t you attack the Mixed Yuan Sect earlier? Since you chose to watch from the wall, then these spirit veins, they have nothing to do with you.
My Easy Sect is rebuilding the mountain gate and recruiting disciples, it is the time when we need to use these spirit veins, you all can’t afford to pay the price, so why do you want to humiliate yourselves?”
Several people’s faces turned green and white for a while, and the old man surnamed Zhao was even so angry that his lips were shivering.
“This little girl is so big, hey! If we don’t exchange it, then we don’t exchange it, big deal, we’ll think of something else!”
Tang Zen’s brows furrowed, “But spirit veins are all owned, unless we go deep into the deep mountains of the Western Regions, we simply won’t be able to find any more.”
“Big deal, old me will personally go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Spirit mines are the foundation of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect, letting out three is already the limit, ten thousand can’t let out any more.”
The old man surnamed Zhao said angrily, “The Easy Sect is asking for exorbitant prices, it’s clear that they are deliberately making things difficult for us!”
The female cultivator surnamed Wen frowned, “Senior brother Zhao, there are great dangers in the 100,000 mountains, my master fell in them back then, why do you need to take the risk ……”
Back then, her master had ventured to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in order to find out why the aura had disappeared, but he had fallen four years after entering the mountains.
Those who went to the Hundred Thousand Mountains together, besides her master, there were also YuanYing cultivators from the other four clans.
Of the five YuanYing cultivators, only one Dan cultivator from the Myriad Dan Sect escaped in the end.
After that senior Dan cultivator escaped, although he successfully brought back a spirit vein, he was also extremely injured.
In the face of other people’s inquiries, she kept mum and only cautioned the crowd that there were great evils hidden in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so don’t go there rashly.
“Senior uncle was killed four years after entering the mountain back then, as long as I don’t go too deep, I shouldn’t encounter any danger.”
A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the old man surnamed Zhao, which then turned into decisiveness.
“I don’t have much life left anyway, so I might as well take advantage of my last chance to put up a fight.”
Hearing this, the female cultivator surnamed Wen sighed in her heart and was not able to persuade her further.
Tang Zen, on the other hand, was secretly relieved, he was worried about how to open his mouth, to be able to make Uncle Zhao willingly travel to the deep mountains of the Western Regions, but he didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to ask for help.
Master and Uncle Wen were in their prime, rashly going to the 100,000,000 mountains, once something untoward happened to them, it would cause the strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to be greatly reduced.
It would be different if Master Zhao went, Master Zhao only had a dozen years of life left, even if he perished, his losses would be limited.
Although there was a weighing in his heart, Tang Zen still made a persuasive appearance on his face.
“Master Uncle Zhao think twice ah, even though the spirit veins in the sect are drying up, it’s still not a problem to last a hundred years, perhaps we can think of another way.”
The old man surnamed Zhao shook his head, “A hundred years of time will pass in the blink of an eye, waiting until that time to think of a way, I’m afraid it will be too late. I have decided, you don’t have to persuade me anymore.”
The female cultivator surnamed Wen thought for a moment, “I have always had a personal relationship with Master Zhuozhi of the Immeasurable Mountain, and some time ago I heard him mention that he wanted to take his disciples to the 100,000 deep mountains for some training, so senior brother might be able to go with Master Zhuozhi.”
“When did Master Yuzhi even accept a new disciple? Is it that Buddhist son from earlier?”
The old man surnamed Zhao showed a look of surprise, this Master Yu Zhi was a strange person, being in the Buddhist sect, but often did things that disregarded the Buddhist law.
On the contrary, his cultivation was the highest, and no one in the Immeasurable Mountain could do anything about him.
At the beginning of the immeasurable sect sealed the door of the mountain, it is his authorization. Master Yuzhi’s approach proved to be wise.
At least during the years when evil cultivators had plagued the cultivation world, the Immeasurable Mountain had not suffered the repercussions.
“Nonetheless, there is someone else that Master Yuzhi has taken in, I heard that the Buddhist son who wanted to worship him as his master at the beginning went so far as to kneel in front of his temple for ten days and ten nights, only to be beaten out of the temple by him in the end.”
The female cultivator with the surname Wen said, and her heart was also a bit emotional.
Although she and Master Yuzhi had some personal relationships, she likewise disagreed somewhat with his practice of beating the Buddhist son, who was valued by all of Mount Immeasurable, out of the temple.
The old man surnamed Zhao was slightly stunned at his words.
“Why do I feel that this Master Yuzhi is somewhat unreliable, his disciple should only have a Jindan cultivation.
To just bring his disciple into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to practice like this, isn’t he afraid of encountering danger?”
The female cultivator with the surname Wen shook her head, “Grandmaster Yuzhi is very human, and his thoughts are also very different from the others.
But he is a solid late YuanYing great cultivator, and by traveling with him, senior brother’s safety is also more secure.”
The old man surnamed Zhao pondered for a moment and nodded silently.
“In that case, you will travel with me to Mount Immeasurable. As for Senior Nephew Tang, just return to the sect on your own.”
Tang Zen respectfully saluted, “Yes, then senior nephew will return to the sect first, and I hope that the two senior uncles will go early and return early.”
The trio’s departure didn’t have the slightest effect on Xu Chunniang and Sheng Qingyun, who were still refining their spirit veins.
When the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had stood by and watched as the Easy Sect was nearly exterminated, the friendship between the two sects had already been declared broken.
Sheng Qingyun sighed leisurely, “Little Chuniang, are you going to blame me for rejecting the Wan Jian Sect’s offer?”
Right now, the Easy Sect had more than enough spirit veins, so it was entirely possible to use two extra spirit veins in exchange for three spirit mines.
“Why would Senior Ancestor think so?”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “Spirit veins are the foundation of the sect, naturally more is better, since the Ten Thousand Swords Sect chose to protect themselves in a clear-cut manner, it’s just that we won’t interact with them from now on.”
Sheng Qingyun nodded her head gratefully, “Not bad, hurrying up to refine the spirit vein and transporting it back to the sect is the right thing to do.”
The Easy Sect was rebuilding the mountain gate, and widely recruiting disciples with spiritual roots and talent, it was a time when a hundred things were waiting to be done.
Since he had already torn his face off with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it was useless to think about it more.
The two continued to refine the spirit veins, and after four or five months, they finally brought all the spirit veins back to the sect.
Together with the original two spirit veins in the sect, the number of spirit veins in the sect reached a staggering eight, and it was no wonder that the Patriarch of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was red in the eyes.
During the few months that the two had been refining the spirit veins, the others in the sect had not been idle either, restoring the damaged mountain gate to a new look.
Looking at the new atmosphere of the Easy Sect, Sheng Qingyun’s eyes were slightly moist, to be able to live to see this scene, she was worth dying for.
“Uncle Sheng, Uncle Xu, the news has already been spread, in a few days, it will be the day when the sect accepts disciples.
At that time, there will be quite a few children rushing to Qing Yun Town’s workshop market to participate in the general election.”
Yue Ling was saying, serving up the process of the Grand Election that had been drawn up long ago.
In the past, when the Easy Sect had plenty of manpower, the sect would send Jindan Elders and Foundation Establishment Cultivators to various villages and towns to look for children with Spiritual Root Talents and bring them back to the sect.
Now that the Free and Easy Sect was short on manpower, it had abandoned that previous practice.
