Wet viviparity

Chapter 273: Arrangement, Sitting and Practicing
Xiaoxishan, inside the Qian family residence.

There were faint sounds of music, discussions of profound principles, and swordplay in this house. These sounds all came from a pavilion by the water, where the second master of the Qian family was sitting, and he was seated at the last seat.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Mr. Qian clapped his hands and praised perfunctorily. He was so perfunctory because, firstly, he was not the protagonist, and secondly, no one paid attention to him.

Here, most of the most distinguished people from the three great Taoist merchant families of Taiping Mountain, Qian, Zhang, and Mi, have gathered here. A "dandy" like Mr. Qian, who is not very experienced in Taoism, is content to sit at the last table.

"Second Master!"

While he was drinking in depression, a kind Taoist in jade-colored silk robe and lotus leaf scarf came over to greet him and said, "I heard that you have done a good business in this area. I wonder if I can invest a little."

Master Qian raised his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he replied, "It's Taoist Priest Dingfeng."

"Unfortunately, unfortunately." Master Qian shook his head repeatedly and waved his hands, saying, "This is a joint business, I can't make the decision alone, Taoist Dingfeng, please don't embarrass me here."

"Embarrassed?"

Ding Fengzi waved the animal-patterned fan in his hand and deliberately said loudly: "The three Taoist merchants are of the same blood, why are you letting outsiders get the advantage of the business?"

Before Mr. Qian Er could say anything, a Taoist from the Qian family stepped out and shouted, "Zhang Nianxuan, if you want to be an enemy of the two Zhangs, don't involve us. If you have the guts, go to Taiping Fudi and fight on Yintai Mountain."

Ding Fengzi Zhang Nianxuan was silent for a moment, then bowed to the crowd and said, "Everyone, you all know what the current situation of the three families is. We have this ability because of our family's merits. If the person in the upper mansion is truly in power, he will definitely target our family."

"Ding Fengzi, our three families are on the same mountain together. We all prosper and suffer together. No one would be so short-sighted."

"That's right. What can he do if his predecessors couldn't do it? Don't gossip and stir up trouble. I hate people who talk about principles as if we are all Taoist soldiers of your Zhang family."

"Ding Fengzi, before you enter the Golden Elixir stage, you must not discuss matters of the upper house without permission."

"That's right. Everyone came to this remote place not to participate in the upper-level Taoist disputes within the mountain gate, but for the great opportunity in the Nanmu Divine Mountain."

Master Qian clapped his hands once again in praise of the words, feeling very happy, thinking: "This Ding Fengzi is just worrying about nothing. If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Why are you worrying about it?

I spent so much effort to get in touch with Jin Tong, and even took care of the matter of the talisman money cabinet in Lei Xi Da Fang. How can you who have increased your Taoist rank and obtained a Taoist name through ancestral magic scrolls compare to me?"

The second master lay on the chair, sipping wine leisurely, thinking that if he could do more things for Jintong and accumulate enough favors, he would send one of his own sons to become his disciple.

Recently, he has become more and more clear-headed. It doesn't matter if the Qian family falls, as long as his small family doesn't fall. Thinking of this, he feels even more wonderful and can't help but recite a poem in a low voice, "A mosquito is buzzing, and two flies are humming."

In front of the treasure chest against the wall, Ji Ming was putting some new things there.

There is a spell to unlock the seal of the "Illusionary Sea Floating and Sinking Heart" in Shuwa Lake, the Red Yangzhi Fortune Stone for refining the "Yangzhi Treasure Light Pendant", the treasure Zhenshan Bell, three crystal plates, and the magical talisman.

After lighting several candles, he quietly admired the full treasure chest, feeling a great sense of satisfaction.

After admiring it, he quickly put the magic talisman close to him so that he could use it at any time at the critical moment. It was a life-saving item and gave him great confidence when traveling outside in the future.

Then he took down the three crystal cards. Through the Echo Ghost, he knew that these three cards were called "Crystal Phantom Wall". They could isolate ghosts and gods, as well as prevent the detection of past talents. They were very practical.

In the past few months, he has been refining the three crystal phantom walls. He sacrificed the three signs, and the void outside the temple flashed three times in sequence, and then the three cone-shaped towers covered the temple, and from the outside, it looked empty.

Ji Ming was not satisfied, and urged the magic weapon once again. The outside turned into a small mound with a simple thatched pavilion on it.

This is the cleverness of this crystal illusion wall. Everything that appears can be touched, and it is real. With it in hand, your safety factor is further increased.

Putting away the three cards, Ji Ming glanced at the other items.

The spirit of the precious artifact Zhenshan Bell was very resistant to him, so if he wanted to successfully refine it, it would probably take some effort.

In addition, if this treasure is used outside, it will easily attract the attention of the Five Internal Organs Palace. Ji Ming plans to put it on the black market to see if he can exchange it for the rare treasure Mishan Xuanmu Stone that can be used to refine Bao Ruyi.

Ji Ming needs to put aside for a while the matter of using the red Yang Zhifu Stone to refine the "Yang Zhi Baoguang Pei", a treasure of his life.

There is no news about the rare treasure, Mishan Xuanmu Stone. Even if I succeed in refining the treasure of life, together with the Zanxin Yinzhu, and gather the two treasures of life and death, I still cannot refine the treasure I want. Moreover, I am short of money now, and it is difficult to gather other materials for refining the Yangzhi Baoguang Pendant.

The magic weapon is a hundred-year plan, so Ji Ming was not in a hurry. He was already satisfied that he had gathered most of the materials in the third stage of foundation building.

The most difficult thing for Ji Ming was the letter of authorization to lift the ban. He had to go to Shuwa Lake, which was in the north while he was in the south. It would take at least several years for him to fly back and forth.

He didn't have the time, as he needed to practice magic and prepare for the secret affairs of the Demon Palace in a few years. He even had no time to take care of the recent much-rumored event of the opening of the Nanmu Sacred Mountain.

This matter made him very distressed, after all, he had some connection with it.

Before he was about to go to Huoxu Cave, Jin Ni Ape had told him about the qualifications for entering Nanlao Sacred Mountain.

But people always have to make choices. To be safe, Ji Ming still focuses on refining the method. Zhang Xiaoyuan also wrote to him several times, asking him to concentrate on his practice and not be disturbed by the outside world.

It is true that the higher your level of Taoism, the more things you can participate in the world and the greater your influence. Opportunities that were previously unattainable will come to you in various ways.

It is at this time that Ji Ming needs to see his own level clearly, and know which ones he can participate in and which ones he cannot participate in. As the saying goes, you should wear pants that fit your buttocks. This principle is a bit crude, but it is irrefutable.

After clearing his thoughts, Ji Ming sat cross-legged and entered into a state of meditation, beginning to visualize the "Diagram of the Mysterious Form of the Gods".

At the conscious level, in the mind, first two snakes swam out.

They spit out black tongues and twisted their bodies in unison. The yellow scales on their bodies were clearly visible and reflected a little, which made Ji Ming feel cold and deadly.

Then, claws as mysterious as dragon claws and as ferocious as roc claws suddenly appeared in the visualization, grabbed the two snakes at once, stepped on their bodies tightly, and made the two snakes twist like earthworms.

Above the claws and feet that look like thick fish scales is a round belly and a broad and strong chest and back. Even though it is covered with hard feathers, the muscle texture can be faintly seen. This is a tiger's back and bear's waist.

It gave Jiming a sense of brutal and primitive power.

The body of a vicious beast that fights heaven and earth, tempered through countless killings, should be like this, not an exaggerated muscle group.

"The dark mausoleum is dark, and the hibernating insects are hiding!"

A voice sounded in his heart, and on that body filled with primitive power was a human face, a face that was 70% similar to Ji Ming's. It was telling Ji Ming about the large and small Zhoutian Douxiu formations that had been refined into a divine form.
