The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 43 Jade Pendant and Opportunity

"The reward you are offered is for a jade pendant."

"Jade pendant?"

The old man's words shocked Zhou Xun. He immediately remembered the place where he had just traveled through time and changed clothes and food in Tainan Mountain.

"Could it be a rare treasure?" Zhou Xun thought to himself.

If this is the case, I must go back to Tainan Mountain to see if I can find it.

However, two years had passed, and he was not sure whether the jade pendant could be recovered.

Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart. I didn't expect the Chen family's treasure to be so aggressive, but I abandoned it like worn shoes.

Really blind.

"What does this jade pendant do?" Zhou Xun then asked.

"I don't know either." The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I don't know, what if you don't know why you are so violent? At this point, do you still want to hide it from me?" Zhou Xun stared at the old man with sharp eyes and asked.

"I really don't know. This matter is an order from the head of the family. I just follow the order."

Zhou Xun didn't believe it.The old man's various behaviors all indicate that his predecessor has a big secret.If you don't know, why bother?

"The head of your family is dead. Do you want to get away with it by blaming this matter on him?"

The old man hesitated for a while and then told the truth.

"That person is not the head of the family, but a hermit of the family. I, the Chen family, only have three foundation builders on the surface. In fact, there are six."

Six people, Zhou Xun was shocked when he heard this.Fortunately, I was stable and didn't go to Yunmang Mountain foolishly.
Otherwise, several foundation-building monks would be under siege.Those life-saving things you just got must be used.

"Then why do you hide your strength? With six foundation builders, are there any opponents for you in the entire Liuzhou? How dare the Jiang family and Zhao family dare to challenge you?" Zhou Xun was confused.

The old man saw that Zhou Xun didn't believe it, so he explained the whole story.

"The ordinary Jindan family only has a dozen or so Foundation-building monks including their dependents. My Chen family is just an ordinary Foundation-building family, but there are six Foundation-building monks."

"Furthermore, the Divine Weapon Sect distributes a large number of Foundation-Building Pills. If there are more than an ordinary number of Foundation-Building cultivators in the Chen family, it would be suspicious."

"My Taoist friends must have been deeply touched by the principle of "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of having a jade in his possession."

Zhou Xun nodded when he heard this, thinking this was the truth.

Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and asked:

"The fact that your Chen family has so many foundation-building monks must have something to do with this jade pendant." He said, looking at the old man with a half-smiling expression.

"Indeed, this jade pendant involves a big opportunity." Seeing that he could not hide it from Zhou Xun, the old man nodded without hesitation, and then looked at Zhou Xun with his eyes shining brightly.Asked rhetorically:

"If fellow Taoist learns that such an opportunity comes to a qi-training monk, he will definitely not let it go."

Zhou Xun couldn't deny it and said: "Monks like us compete with God for our fate. When we encounter an opportunity, we naturally have no reason to let it go."

"In this case, how can fellow Taoist sin against my Chen family?"

"This matter only depends on the position, not right or wrong. This Qi-training monk is me!" Zhou Xun said tit for tat.The truth is the truth.Principles are meant to be used on others, not to restrain oneself.

"But the world has changed, and fellow Taoist monks are already foundation-building monks. Why don't you and I share this opportunity?" the old man suggested.

This statement is exactly what Zhou Xun wants.He used so many hands and feet, didn't he just want to find out the secrets of his body?

Otherwise, what kind of foundation-building family cannot be destroyed with two thunder flame beads and dozens of intermediate talismans.

However, since there is a big opportunity, which may be helpful in completing his goal of ten years of advanced foundation building, it is not too late to take advantage of them and take their opportunity first and then take revenge.

So he said:
"I have nothing to do with myself, but if I get the treasure, how should I distribute it?"

"This matter still needs to be decided by the head of the family. Why don't you Taoist friends come to my Yunmang Mountain as a guest to discuss the distribution?" Seeing Zhou Xun's intention, the old man hurriedly invited further.

"Let the head of your family come here to discuss it," Zhou Xun refused.

He was not that stupid to go to the other party's lair even though he knew he had a grudge.

The old man was not surprised when he saw this. He pointed at the storage bag that originally belonged to Zhou Xun on his waist and said:
"I have the 'Thousand-mile Communication Talisman' in my storage bag. Give it to me. I will send a message to the head of the family." Zhou Xun nodded, took out the old man's storage bag, found the "Thousand-mile Communication Talisman" and handed it to old man.

After receiving the transmission note, the old man made no move.Instead, he looked at Zhou Xun and said:

"Fellow Taoist, please unlock some of the restrictions. I can't use this talisman without divine consciousness and magic power."

Zhou Xun nodded and warned him:

"Be honest and don't do anything else."

Then the restriction was lifted a little, allowing the old man to use the magic power of about the fourth level of Qi training.

The old man activated the transmission talisman, then said a few words, threw the talisman into the air, and turned into a streak of fire and flew away.

Zhou Xun then continued to ban the old man.

Walking aside, Zhou Xun began to count today's loot.

Ignore the big man's storage bag.The other two are the entire net worth of foundation-building monks.

This made him look forward to it.

He still remembered how he felt when he received the inheritance from Grandpa Zhuji.

Excited!excited!

The bearded old man's storage bag was opened first.He still remembered the sword that the old man used when he was trapped in the magic circle.

To be able to withstand such swordsmanship, it must not be an ordinary sword.

His spiritual sense penetrated and he immediately found the sword.

This sword is reddish in color and exudes a cold metallic light.The sword body is engraved with the word "Chixuan".

It is another top-level fine magic weapon.

Continue to investigate.

The number of spiritual stones is only over 800 pieces, which is relatively small among foundation-building monks.I still remember the monk who was on the [-]th level of Qi training that Zhou Xun killed for the first time. The storage bag also contributed [-] spirit stones.

Not a single talisman was left, all was consumed in the formation.

There are also dozens of bottles of elixirs from the Qi training period, as well as some mid- to low-level materials and spiritual herbs.

When I thought that the old man was one of the leaders of this small meeting, I understood.

These items must be items traded by the Chen family.The little bits and pieces added up are actually worth nearly a thousand spiritual stones.

There are some sundries

I finished reading the bearded old man’s storage bag.Next is the old man from the meeting.

The old man in gray is worthy of being a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.Much richer than this bearded old man.

There are 1700 pieces of spiritual stones, which is more than what my grandfather left behind.

There were several intermediate-level talismans that he had never used during the previous battle for some reason.

There are two bottles of foundation-building elixirs. One is still new and untouched, and the other bottle only has two elixirs left. It must have been taken by the old man.

Two jade slips.One records the old man's magical concealment technique, and the other records a technique called "Tuyuan Jue".

The rest are some personal clothes, paintings and calligraphy.Unexpectedly, the old man in gray is still an elegant person.

Zhou Xun took out a fireball and burned it to ashes.

These two battles greatly replenished his spiritual stones.It reached more than 4000 yuan.If the middle and low-level treasures are dealt with, the amount can be increased by thousands of dollars.

There are four talismans, and the number of top-level magic weapons has reached 11.

Zhou Xun believed that his net worth was not much higher than that of the fake alchemy monk.

After counting the harvest, Zhou Xun began to wait for the arrival of the head of the Chen family.
