Xiuxian: I have an inventory

"Master Su, you are worrying too much. I can't do anything that is difficult for me."

Xiao Changqing heard the hidden meaning behind Su Wushuang's words.

It was nothing more than giving herself a shot of prevention. If she wanted to obtain her 'Innate Jade Liquid', she had to help Baihua Valley resolve its predicament and resist the threats from Xingyue Palace and Zhu Qingyun.

If you want to take a shortcut and take it from her by force, it is impossible.

Xiao Changqing did not doubt the authenticity of Su Wushuang's words. He believed it should be true.

Otherwise, if he could "force" it, the scheming Zhu Qingyun would not have spent decades planning and painstakingly creating his own persona in order to win Su Wushuang's heart.

Moreover, Xiao Changqing never does anything like burning, killing or looting.

It’s another matter if someone else takes action first.

"It's not that I don't trust Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'm just used to making things clear first and saying the unpleasant things first." Su Wushuang said lightly.

After the matter was talked out, her inner shyness gradually relaxed and the blush on her fair cheeks disappeared.

After all, she is the famous Iceberg Fairy in the immortal cultivation world of Dayu and the leader of a sect. She has a "huge" mind both inside and out.

She told herself in her heart that this was just a 'deal' and there was no emotion involved and no need to feel embarrassed.

The road to becoming an immortal is long and one must have a firm mind. What does this little thing about the body matter?
For the future of Baihua Valley, and for her own spiritual enlightenment so that she would not leave any loopholes in the future, asking Xiao Changqing for help was a good choice.

After all, although she didn't have any good feelings towards Xiao Changqing, at least she didn't feel any disgust towards him. The two had known each other for more than ten years and could barely be considered friends.

If Baihua Valley was really annexed by Xingyue Palace, and she had fulfilled Zhu Qingyun's wish, she would be afraid that she would never be able to get out of it in this lifetime. She would inevitably develop mental demons, and she would not even be able to achieve Nascent Soul in the future.

"Then let's make a contract..."

Xiao Changqing was not the kind of person who was shy. Since Su Wushuang had made his words very clear, he would just follow the formal procedures.

Afterwards, both parties swore that as long as Xiao Changqing could help Baihua Valley overcome the difficulties, withstand the pressure from Xingyue Palace, and protect Baihua Valley, Xiao Changqing could ask Su Wushuang to cooperate in picking the "Xiantian Jade Liquid" at any time afterwards.

Su Wushuang shall not shirk or refuse to cooperate with any excuse or reason.

If Xiao Changqing helped Baihua Valley overcome the difficulties in the end but failed to obtain the "Innate Jade Liquid", then the responsibility would be on Su Wushuang's side.

The pledge was made.

Then the next question is how to fight against the Star Moon Palace.

"Two years ago, Xingyue Palace had already made its intention to annex Baihua Valley naked, and began to suppress and target Baihua Valley in all aspects. But Zhu Qingyun also knew that he couldn't push me too hard, so he always left a glimmer of leeway."

"But three months ago, the attitudes of Xingyue Palace and Zhu Qingyun changed a lot. They obviously lacked patience and issued a final ultimatum. I guess it might be related to the fact that the evil cultivators of the Demon Sect broke through the blockade of the Yunwu Mountains. The change in the situation made Zhu Qingyun feel uneasy, fearing that something unexpected would happen that he could not control. He finally gave me a year to think about it. That is to say, after nine months, if I still didn't agree to him, he might use force to force me to submit..."

Su Wushuang said in a cold voice.

Although she usually spoke in a cold and emotionless voice, but when she mentioned Xingyue Palace, especially when she mentioned Zhu Qingyun, Xiao Changqing could clearly tell that in addition to the 'coldness', there was also a deep 'murderous intent'!
If there was a chance, Su Wushuang would definitely want to kill Zhu Qingyun as soon as possible.

He didn't know what Su Wushuang was really thinking, and he didn't know that at some point in time, Su Wushuang had actually been slightly attracted to Zhu Qingyun.

If Zhu Qingyun had been more persistent and sincere, perhaps his plan, which he had been planning for nearly a hundred years, would have really succeeded.

Unfortunately, as his cultivation level improved to the Perfect Jindan stage, he lost his patience...

"Nine months later?"

Xiao Changqing nodded and said, "That's perfect. I also need some time to practice in seclusion, consolidate my realm, and improve my strength. If Xingyue Palace suddenly attacks during the process, Master Su, just notify me at any time."

"Okay." Su Wushuang nodded.

After making the vow, both parties no longer need to be polite.

After the agreement was reached, Su Wushuang got up and left.

……

"Xuanyin body..."

Xiao Changqing suppressed the heat in his heart.

I didn’t expect that just after I formed the Dan, a treasure for forming an infant would be delivered to my door. Could it be that I am the son of luck?

Just have to face the pressure from the Yuanying Sect...

"With my current strength, I can protect myself from the threats of the two Yuanying Early Stage True Lords from the Dayu Cultivation World, but I probably can't contend with them. But after this retreat, if the gains are great enough, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope that I will be qualified to fight them head-on..."

Xiao Changqing pondered secretly in his heart.

Although he was confident, he also understood the huge gap between Yuanying Zhenjun and Jindan Zhenren.

With all these trump cards to protect himself, he only has the confidence to defend himself from the Xingyue Palace.

No matter whether it is the two Nascent Souls from the Star Moon Palace or the Seven Star Sword Sect, although they are both in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, they have both formed the Nascent Soul for more than a hundred years. In particular, the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Star Moon Palace, according to records, he had broken through the Nascent Soul stage as early as three hundred years ago.

Therefore, even though they are all in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, they have accumulated a lot of experience and are very familiar with the various magical powers of the Nascent Soul stage, so their strength is not weak.

As for the one from the Demon Cult whose strength has greatly increased in recent years and who is suspected to have the hope of breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he is even more unfathomable.

If Baihua Valley were to offend the Demon Cult, even if the 'Xuanyin Body' was very rare, Xiao Changqing estimated that he would not dare to promise to help the other party resist the Demon Cult.

Treasures that increase the probability of forming a baby are indeed precious and rare in the world, but one must first live to form a baby and enjoy it.

It's not worth risking your life to get it.

If the chance of self-preservation is no more than 99%, then what's the difference between that and committing suicide?
Retreat, retreat!
"Ziyu, Zixi, I have something to tell you sisters..."

Xiao Changqing called the Lin sisters over, gave them a few instructions, and then began his first retreat after forming the elixir.

……

...Inside the practice room.

When Xiao Changqing was making a breakthrough to the Jindan stage, the training room and the cave abode were destroyed by thunder and lightning, and the third-order formation was completely unable to stop him.

But as long as the spiritual vein of the main peak is not damaged and is still a top-grade third-order spiritual vein, it will be very easy for cultivators to repair the cave.

Before the Jindan celebration began, Gu Zongyuan arranged for a fake Dan Zhenren who was good at "construction" in the city and several foundation-building cultivators to come. It took only half a day to repair the cave and rearrange the formation, making it even better than before it was destroyed.

It's like the old doesn't go away before the new comes.

"Fourth-level spiritual wood essence!"

The first piece of equipment Xiao Changqing was naturally this rare treasure that caused the Giant Tree Sect to go all out and be determined to get it at all costs, so that their sect's sacred tree could break through the fourth-level bottleneck.

There are four skills in total, and each skill is extremely powerful.

In other words, the Giant Wood Sect concealed the news well. If it had been leaked out, the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Star Moon Palace estimated that the two ancestors would not be able to sit still and would definitely go there in person.

This treasure is not only extremely important to Jindan cultivators, but also of infinite benefit to Yuanying Zhenjun.

Of course, in the end, the Giant Wood Sect lost more than it gained. Not only did they fail to obtain the fourth-level spiritual wood essence, but the three strongest Jindan Zhenren in the sect were also wiped out.

Xiao Changqing did not deliberately inquire about the current situation in the Giant Wood Sect.

But I think the sect must be in chaos, with people in panic.

With the existence of the guardian sacred tree, it is impossible for the Giant Wood Sect to cut off its inheritance, but a sharp decline in strength is inevitable. It is estimated that it will not be able to dominate the Western Regions.

"Wood-type earth spirit root."

Xiao Changqing looked at the first skill, and at the same time his soul merged into the heaven and earth, feeling the power of heaven and earth.

He now possesses water-type spiritual roots, and fire and wood-type spiritual roots.

"I didn't expect that after I had the Yuan Shen, my spiritual roots would have such wonderful uses..."

At present, apart from the water-type spiritual root that Xiao Changqing mainly cultivates, the other two earth spiritual roots are of little use, but this is not actually the case.

Before the Nascent Soul stage, spiritual roots are the cultivator's greatest reliance. The speed of cultivation, the depth of foundation, and even the level of combat power are all directly related to the spiritual roots.

But after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the soul can merge into the heaven and earth and directly communicate with the power of heaven and earth. The function of the spiritual roots to absorb and convert magic power still exists, but its importance will be greatly reduced.

With more spiritual roots, the disadvantage will be transformed into an advantage at this time, and more magical powers with different attributes can be cultivated!
This is something that only Nascent Soul cultivators can access. Xiao Changqing had never heard of it before.

“Perhaps when we reach a higher realm, the Nascent Soul stage or beyond, multiple high-level spiritual roots will become more important…”

Xiao Changqing had a vague understanding in his heart.

Having more spiritual roots in the Nascent Soul stage has certain advantages, but it is not necessary to have more spiritual roots.

After all, other Nascent Soul cultivators are not like him. They do not have an equipment bar system and can extract enough skills and magical powers as long as they have treasures.

Without cheating, it would be great if Yuanying Zhenjun could cultivate one of the five elements' magical powers to a high level.

"Yi Mu Longevity Secret, Tai Yi Divine Light..."

Compared to the wood-type earth spirit root, whose effect will only be seen later, these two skills have greatly benefited Xiao Changqing now.

The Yimu Longevity Secret can extend the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator by three hundred years.

Xiao Changqing is currently just in the initial stage of forming a pill, and his age has increased by more than a hundred years.

His original life span was nine hundred years. Now with the Yimu Longevity Secret, Xiao Changqing's life span officially exceeded a thousand years, and in this respect he also caught up with Yuanying Zhenjun.

The Taiyi Divine Light is a special offensive spell that starts at the fourth level and can even threaten a God-Transforming Venerable.

Because this spell can actually cause damage to Yuanying Zhenjun's 'Nascent Soul Body'!

"As expected of a fourth-tier spiritual wood essence, the skills it brings out are so powerful..."

"Next, I have to focus my main energy on cultivating Taiyi Divine Light!"

Xiao Changqing's eyes lit up.

Below the Nascent Soul stage, Xiao Changqing can be called invincible, which is not an exaggeration at all. His main opponent in the future will be the Nascent Soul True Lord.

But for Yuanying Zhenjun, the most important thing is the Yuanying spirit body.

Even the physical body is not as important as the Nascent Soul spirit body.

Because the physical body is destroyed, the Nascent Soul can still escape and be reborn in another body.

Once the Nascent Soul is injured, its strength will be greatly reduced, and it may even destroy its foundation.

Therefore, if Xiao Changqing can increase the power of Taiyi Divine Light and fight against the Nascent Soul Patriarch of Xingyue Palace, then he will no longer need to protect himself, but the Nascent Soul Patriarch of Xingyue Palace will need to consider how to protect himself.

After learning about the magical aspects of Taiyi Divine Light in detail, Xiao Changqing immediately spent nearly a month to fully master this magical power so that he could use it against the enemy.

"I am not a Nascent Soul cultivator at the moment, so I cannot be sure of the extent to which this magical power can harm a Nascent Soul cultivator. But since the system notes that the weakest of this skills has reached the fourth rank, it must be able to cause considerable damage to a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages."

"Just wait for the Star Moon Palace Patriarch to come and try out his moves."

As for the fourth skill of the fourth-level spiritual wood essence [Spirit of Creation], Xiao Changqing had already understood it very clearly during his practice of Taiyi Divine Light.

Because the use of Taiyi Divine Light originally puts a heavy burden on the soul.

After Xiao Changqing was equipped with the [Spirit of Creation], his burden was obviously much lighter.

“Perhaps my soul strength, even if it is not as strong as that of a True Lord in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, should be no worse than that of the two ancestors of the Star Moon Palace and the Seven Star Sword Sect…”

Xiao Changqing thought in his heart. (End of this chapter)
