Xiuxian: I have an inventory

A complete chance to form a pill is an irresistible temptation for anyone in the foundation-building stage.

It can be said that among the entire Dayu cultivation world, there are probably no more than twenty foundation-building cultivators who would be able to say no to this reward!
There are only three or four talented disciples at the core of the two major Nascent Soul sects, the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Star Moon Palace, such as Qin Feng who has formed a perfect and flawless golden elixir; and Gu Zongyuan can almost be counted as the successor of several top golden elixir sects.

Only this group of people, their sects and masters, will prepare for them the complete opportunity to form a pill in advance. They only need to practice until the foundation is complete, and when they feel that the accumulation is deep enough, they can get the opportunity to start forming a pill.

Apart from this, no foundation-building cultivator would not be envious.

Even someone like Lu Guangqin would feel resentful because he felt that Master Li Yang was unfair to him and did not prepare the opportunity for him to form a pill, until he eventually betrayed his master and joined the enemy.

Therefore, the conditions that Master Li Yang offered to Xiao Changqing now can be regarded as full of sincerity. He really wants to impress Xiao Changqing and wants him to take the position of leader of the Li Yang Guard.

But unfortunately, after a little thought and consideration, Xiao Changqing shook his head decisively: "I'm sorry, I still choose to refuse."

It was like he already had a Ningzhen Pill, and it was already in his pocket, so why should he look for another chance to form a Zhendan?
Now, even though Master Li Yang finally resorted to the strategy of cutting off the source of the problem, it is estimated that it could shock the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Alchemy Alliance, and the Li Yang Immortal City would not suffer a catastrophic disaster.

But in the years to come, Li Yang Fairy City will definitely not be peaceful. Without Li Yang Zhenren personally in charge, and without the magic needle to stabilize the sea, there will definitely be constant turmoil and countless troubles, both overt and covert.

Serving as the commander of Liyang Guard is definitely a hot potato.

There is no need for Xiao Changqing to get involved.

"It seems that my guess was correct..." When Master Li Yang saw Xiao Changqing's refusal, there was not much surprise or disappointment on his face, as if he had already anticipated this situation.

Then he took the initiative to explain: "Little friend Xiao is still very young, but he has already possessed such incredible strength with his foundation-building cultivation. He must have his own opportunities, or even his own inheritance. It is not surprising that someone has already prepared the opportunity for you to form a pill and escort you."

In the world of immortal cultivation, whoever can cultivate to the Jindan realm or above, who doesn't have his own secrets, who doesn't have his own opportunities? Especially for these independent cultivators, without the support of family or sect, it is not possible to cultivate from the first level of Qi training, or even from mortals, to this level, to be at the top of the world of immortal cultivation, just by talent.

And Xiao Changqing, with his foundation-building cultivation, was able to defeat True Man Blood Duck who had already broken through to the middle stage of Jindan. This was even more incredible than True Man Li Yang himself!
Even in the history of the entire Dayu cultivation world, this is probably a rare occurrence once in hundreds of years.

Thinking about the opportunities and adventures I had, before I formed my Nascent Soul, everything went smoothly without encountering any obstacles or difficulties.

With Xiao Changqing's talent and strength, it might be a piece of cake for him to face the Jindan stage, a threshold that countless cultivators find difficult to cross in their entire lives.

So today, when Master Li Yang proposed the opportunity to form a pill to impress Xiao Changqing, it was just an attempt and he did not really think that it would succeed.

Xiao Changqing naturally didn't know that Li Yang Zhenren, the number one casual cultivator in the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World, would make up for him in his mind. How could he have any inheritance? How could anyone secretly prepare a chance for him to form a pill? And there would be no one to escort him.

He can achieve what he has today thanks to his own efforts, right?

No matter whether it is cultivation or not, it is all achieved step by step!
Even if the Ningzhen Pill was temporarily deposited in the hands of the Dandao Alliance, it was because Xiao Changqing had proven himself that the alchemist Zhu Youlong trusted him, had high hopes for him, and was willing to hand over his master's last wish to him.

Moreover, leaving everything else aside, didn't he risk his life in the slightest by killing True Man Blood Crow and avenging his master Zhu Youlong?

So there is no such thing as a free lunch for Xiao Changqing!
It’s all the result of my hard work and sweat!

"Since Xiao Xiaoyou is not interested in the chance of forming a pill, there must be other treasures you need, right? No matter how strong the talent and opportunity are, or how unfathomable the background is, there will always be something that we lack as cultivators. In other words, there will always be things that we are looking for but cannot obtain for the time being, so it is difficult to be truly free of desires."

"If you have any needs, Xiao Xiao, please feel free to tell me. Although I may not have it, what if?" Master Li Yang said with a smile.

He was determined and made up his mind that no matter what conditions the other party offered, he would not get involved and tie himself to Liyang Fairy City.

But when he heard these words, his eyes subconsciously lit up and he couldn't help but be moved.

He already had a backup of the Ningzhen Pill, so he didn't need to risk his life for it again.

But as Li Yang Zhenren said, it is almost impossible for those who practice Taoism to be free of desires. There will always be things that they need.

"Of course I need treasures, but..." Xiao Changqing thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and then said carefully: "I will not be the leader of Liyang Guards, and it is impossible for me to work hard for Liyang Immortal City. At most, what I can do is to help solve the problems when Liyang Immortal City encounters difficulties. But this is limited to the fact that the trouble cannot exceed my expectations, such as a real person in the late Jindan period coming to seek revenge, or the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Dandao League are not intimidated and send their masters over..."

"Of course." Master Li Yang nodded in approval.

He also didn't think of letting Xiao Changqing really sacrifice his life to protect Liyang Fairy City.

The ultimate goal, in fact, is to make Xiao Changqing and his apprentice Gu Zongyuan stand on the same front to keep the villains in Liyang Fairy Town.

His disciple Gu Zongyuan's Jindan is of extremely high quality, and with the trump cards and battle formations he left behind, he already has the strength comparable to that of a mid-Jindan stage. If Xiao Changqing can join, it will be equivalent to the combat power of two mid-Jindan stages.

It can barely protect Li Yang Xian City, a prosperous city of immortal cultivation, and suppress the huge benefits.

But Li Yang Zhenren added, "However, if Xiao Xiao's strength improves by leaps and bounds in the future, such as successfully forming a pill, I'm sure the troubles he can solve will be even greater. He won't have to be too afraid of ordinary Zhenren in the late stage of forming a pill, right?"

Good guy.

This old guy is really smart. Can this be patched?

Xiao Changqing was silent for a moment. "If my cultivation and strength increase in the future, the troubles I can solve for Liyang Immortal City will increase. But this has to have a time limit. For example, can I protect Liyang Immortal City for ten years? Or twenty years?"

Li Yang Zhenren shook his head. "Ten years is too short. For cultivators of my generation, it is just a blink of an eye. Twenty years is not long enough either. Thirty years... How about thirty years? This time is not long either. Xiao Xiaoyou has lived in Li Yang Xiancheng for thirty years. He has been with Li Yang Xiancheng as long as his life is not threatened."

Thirty years is indeed not a long time.

Even though he now has a top-grade water spiritual root and his cultivation speed is extremely fast, he is still a little bit away from the late stage of foundation building. If he wants to cultivate to the complete foundation building stage and impact the Jindan stage, it will take about twenty years.

It was just right that after completing the Dan formation in Li Yang Xian City, he would live there for more than ten years.

Anyway, he needed to find a place to practice, and he needed a place with spiritual veins of level three or above. Liyang Fairy City was originally his best destination, and he planned to live there for a long time.

However, even so, it is impossible to get him to work for free.

You have to offer him conditions that will make him excited.

"I wonder what kind of treasure Senior Li Yang can come up with to allow me to work for Li Yang Fairy City for thirty years." Xiao Changqing waited for the price.

Upon hearing this, Master Li Yang's face lit up with joy, knowing that the matter was already 80% settled.

The fact that he asked this question meant that Xiao Changqing had been persuaded by him, and it all depended on the price.

"Xiao Xiao, can you please tell me what kind of treasure you need?" asked Li Yang Zhenren with a smile. "Then I will ask boldly." Xiao Changqing said without hesitation, "I heard that Senior Li Yang forcibly confiscated Wei Wufeng's life magic weapon, a huge magic seal, during a battle not long ago... I wonder if Senior Li Yang would be willing to let me see this huge seal?"

For Xiao Changqing, the most precious treasure is naturally not the spiritual stone, no matter how valuable it is.

What Xiao Changqing really cares about is the history of the treasure!
That is, whether it can be equipped by the inventory system to extract powerful skills!
If a treasure is of great origin, and has been used for a long time by top experts, who have invested a lot of effort in it, then even if it is badly damaged, the system can most likely equip it with an extraction skill.

However, no matter how advanced the material of a treasure is, even if it is a fourth-level or even a legendary fifth-level treasure, if it has no history and its experience is "blank", and the system cannot extract skills, then its effect on Xiao Changqing will be greatly reduced, and it can even be said to be useless.

Even if a fifth-rank treasure was given to him, with his current cultivation and strength, he would not be able to exert its due power. It would be a complete waste of time.

"Uh..." Li Yang Zhenren was stunned, looking a little embarrassed, "This giant seal magic weapon is very important to me and has a special use. I have found many rare and valuable treasures from Wei Wufeng and that Jade... No, Zhu Jian Zhenren. How about you consider other things, Xiao Xiaoyou?"

"Then please, Senior Li Yang, take them all out so I can take a look and see if there is anything I need." Xiao Changqing just asked casually and didn't really want the giant seal magic weapon.

According to the stories of the fight that day, the main function of the giant seal magic weapon was to break the formation and imprison the enemy, so Xiao Changqing was just asking.

"Take them all out..." This time Master Li Yang did not refuse. After nodding, as he thought about it, hundreds of treasures floated around.

There are all kinds of elixirs, spiritual herbs, high-level materials, ores, spiritual plants, so many that it's dazzling.

As expected, they are two late Jindan stage cultivators with prominent backgrounds. Their wealth is enough to exceed the imagination of ordinary Jindan cultivators.

But Xiao Changqing almost skipped over these treasures and showed no interest at all.

His eyes were fixed on the magic weapons and jade slips of cultivation techniques...

"I have rewarded some of the treasures to my disciples and some guests in the City Lord's Mansion. The rest are all here. Xiao, you can take a look at them at will. If you are interested, put them aside first. We will weigh the total price later." Master Li Yang said generously.

Xiao Changqing didn't hesitate and started to touch them one by one.

cool!

This is even more exciting than attending the auction before.

Although there were many treasures at the auction, Xiao Changqing had no way to get his hands on them in advance and let the system give a specific evaluation.

Now, Xiao Changqing can slowly weigh and carefully select these treasures that are rarely seen in normal times.

Watching Xiao Changqing selecting items one by one, Master Li Yang did not urge him.

What he couldn't understand was that when faced with these treasures, Xiao Changqing would just take most of them directly. Only a small part would make him ponder, hesitate, or occasionally his eyes would light up, showing obvious surprise.

However, Master Li Yang knew about the treasures that surprised Xiao Changqing. They were not very valuable. On the contrary, they were rather "useless" in his opinion!

This made him doubt for a moment. Was it that this friend Xiao Changqing had poor vision and did not understand the value of the treasure, or was it that he had made a mistake?

After about an incense stick of time, Xiao Changqing finished his selection.

Next to him, there were four items.

Among them, in the eyes of Master Li Yang, the only thing that can be truly regarded as a treasure and that he feels is good is a long sword as red as jade.

This sword is exactly the magic sword of True Man Biyu.

The grade of this sword has reached the level of the third-grade top grade. The materials and craftsmanship used to make the sword are very high. However, with the death of True Man Biyu, the spirituality of this sword was destroyed and its value was reduced by half.

In the eyes of Master Li Yang, it is only acceptable.

As for the other three treasures, they all came from Wei Wufeng.

They are a third-grade mid-quality giant hammer magic weapon, a damaged double-wing magic weapon of unknown grade, and a key whose function is completely unknown.

"Have you finished your selection, Mr. Xiao?" asked Master Li Yang with a smile.

"Well. I am somewhat interested in these four items..." Xiao Changqing hadn't finished his words.

I saw Master Li Yang collect all the remaining treasures that Xiao Changqing had selected.

But after he collected them all, his magical power, which had reached the point of perfect elixir formation, suddenly surged, and he collected all the four items that Xiao Changqing had selected.

Xiao Changqing was too late to stop it.

but.

Master Li Yang did not intend to break the contract. He just took the four treasures back and checked them carefully again.

"Haha, don't mind me, little friend Xiao. I'm just very curious about these treasures. How could such a person, Xiao, who disdains the opportunity to form a pill, be attracted to them?" After checking, Master Li Yang found that these treasures were of no use to him and he could not use them, so he returned them to Xiao Changqing.

What a cunning guy!
Xiao Changqing cursed in his heart.

This old bitch was simply afraid that he would make a mistake and be taken advantage of by Xiao Changqing.

So he was worried and had to recheck all the items he had selected.

Unfortunately, no matter how knowledgeable and experienced Ren Liyang is, he is still no match for Xiao Changqing in this regard.

Who made him have no system?

"Since you are so cunning, I can't let you get away with it."

"Of course I don't mind. Why would I mind? It's just a deal..." Xiao Changqing replied with a fake smile, "However, Senior Li Yang, since you have rechecked it, you should know that among these four items, except for this magic sword, which is quite valuable, the others are only average. Even this third-level medium-quality giant hammer magic weapon is not worth tens of thousands of low-quality spirit stones. So all added together, it is not enough for me to defend Li Yang Xiancheng for thirty years."

"So, we have to pay more!"

(Ahem, can I ask for double the monthly tickets?) (End of this chapter)
