Shennong Sequence

Chapter 178: Risks and Benefits, Negotiating Terms. A Fight is About to Start
"Then, naturally, a powerful spiritual vein will be born in my divine spiritual realm!"

"I can even accumulate various materials and let them grow continuously until they reach a certain stage. Then I can use the earth vein construction method to imitate the process I participated in before. The earth veins gradually form spiritual veins and even the process of forming dragon veins... In my divine spiritual realm, a dragon vein is also brewing!"

For a moment, Zhao Yun began to imagine his future.

Although this idea is good, it ultimately requires more strength to maintain it.

Zhao Yun looked up at the bright stars in the sky that were not obscured by clouds, then injected his magic power into the Floating Cloud Robe again, gathering some clouds to make himself fly off the ground, and then flew quickly down the mountain.

When Zhao Yun got close to the mountain, passed through layers of evil winds, and returned to the main temple of the mountain god halfway up the mountain, when he walked towards the gate, a Yin spirit quietly appeared around him, led Zhao Yun on the way, and brought him to the previous temple again.

Then, the Yin God who led the way watched Zhao Yun enter the temple and quietly retreated.

The mountain god Lin in the hall looked at Zhao Yun who had returned and asked, "After talking with the great minister Jing, have you made a decision?"

Zhao Yun replied: "Grand Minister Jing said that he can agree to your request. But I still have something to say."

"Just say it." Lin Shanshen signaled Zhao Yun to continue stating his request.

Zhao Yun didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"First, if I really have a mission, but your nephews and nephews refuse to obey me, what should I do? After all, I am a Sequence Nine, and even the soldiers they control are Sequence Seven. I can't defeat them."

"Secondly, the people you send over here should not be those with awkward personalities. At least they should know what troubles they can cause and what troubles they cannot cause. Don't let them cause too big a problem and bring me down along with them. Although I am not capable of being compared with big shots like you, since they are my private soldiers, if I want to do something unreliable, then they will probably be more implicated."

"So please come up with some reasonable people who know their limits and consider the consequences of their actions, and don't force me to go to extremes."

"And as I just said, if I have something important to call them to, and they don't pay attention to me, or if they are too bad-tempered for me to provoke, I will have the conditions to exclude them from the quota of my private soldiers, and then I can find someone else.

As for the things I get from you later, I can only say that they are not returnable or exchangeable."

Zhao Yun had said something final.

On the one hand, he hoped to obtain assistance from the God of the Forest Mountain and quickly advance to Sequence 8.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun had also read history books, which not only clearly described the word "cannibalism", but also internal discord, and how they were not afraid of god-like opponents, but were afraid of pig-like teammates, and then were implicated to death...

Therefore, although Zhao Yun longed for a rapid increase in strength, he also hoped that the increase would be controllable.

Instead of a wild horse running without restraint.

If there are 700 private soldiers who are all above Sequence 7, there will be no restrictions.

Who knows whether it will lead to a great achievement that will shock the world? Or a disaster that will cost lives?
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst!

Therefore, if there were no constraints, Zhao Yun would rather not cooperate with Lin Shanshen.

In addition, Zhao Yun's current cultivation speed is very fast compared to ordinary people.

Moreover, when he went to Guihong City in Beiliangzhou as the deputy supervisor, he could naturally seek some personal benefits for himself.

The promotion process to Sequence 8... would only be delayed by one or two years.

Risk and safety,
There must always be a standard in mind as a measure.

If you don't have that guideline in mind, and only focus on the benefits that an event can bring, then you will evolve into a gambler...

But Zhao Yun has yellow cloth. He will grow up slowly and achieve something naturally. Naturally, he will become a rational person!

Lin Shanshen laughed and said:

"General Zhao, rest assured. Although the people sent here this time are from our seven families, they are not our direct descendants after all."

"So those side branches that can be selected through the layers should also be the descendants of people who are sensible, know right from wrong, and know how to advance and retreat."

"I also promise you directly that if they really do cross the line in anything, you only need to explain the situation to me and I can kick them out as private soldiers."

"Thank you, Lord Linshan, for your understanding." Zhao Yun let out a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he added Lin Shanshen as a friend in the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth.

After that, it was the process of Lin Shanshen helping him to refine his spiritual power and even helping him to achieve Sequence Eight within a month.

The mountain god Lin thought for a moment and said:

"Now that we have almost reached an agreement on the terms, I need to help you achieve Sequence Eight within one month. Time is still a bit tight."

"And tonight, you will stay in my temple and refine the low-level spiritual power you obtained today. Starting tomorrow morning, you will not go to the mountains to compete with others for any spiritual power."

"I have called on many mountain spirits and ghosts in the mountains to contribute some of their magic power and spiritual power, and even spiritual power that can expand the meridian system. When the time comes, you only need to refine it with the help of the spiritual veins."

"In addition, if I remember correctly, in order to be promoted to the Minister of Agriculture, you need to cultivate some spiritual fields and plant some spiritual plants. And during this process, you need to do the farming yourself..."

"And under the main peak of my Yangui Spiritual Mountain, there is also a spiritual field of a thousand acres. The blessing of the spiritual veins can speed up the growth of spiritual plants. I will even arrange the rules for the growth of all things around the spiritual field in advance. When the time comes, you can cultivate the spiritual field while refining the spiritual essence..."

"After the spiritual field is cultivated, I will select some spiritual seeds from my treasure house and plant them. In this way, about a month will be enough for the spiritual plants to quickly bear fruit."

"At the same time, during this month, you also need to complete the other requirements for Sequence advancement one by one. At the end of the month, when you harvest the mature spiritual plants in the spiritual field, you can start the final ceremony of advancing from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8!"

"Of course, we still need to find some time to refine and absorb your top-level spiritual power..."

"With this arrangement, you don't have many questions, right?"

Lin Shanshen told Zhao Yun about the arrangements for the next month.

Zhao Yun shook his head. He didn't have many questions.

Because the arrangements made by Lord Linshan are the most appropriate.

Then, the God of the Forest Mountain called a Yin God to arrange a separate residence for Zhao Yun in the temple, and then let Zhao Yun go down to rest. Zhao Yun thought that in the next month, he would be busy with the cultivation of the spiritual field and the refining of the spiritual beauty.

Also, he needed to absorb the top-level spiritual energy from the Returning Wild Goose Stone, which would allow him to gain some insights for the future, and then help him comprehend the two spells to perfection, thereby satisfying some of the conditions for advancement from Sequence Nine to Sequence Eight.

Of course, there are still some details that are not perfect, which need to be discovered and supplemented in the follow-up work.

Moreover, some things cannot be rushed. They can only be done step by step and in a down-to-earth manner to avoid making mistakes.

In addition, Zhao Yun collected a total of 7 kinds of spiritual beauty today.

Among them, three low-grade golden eggs, the purple cloud fruit, and an unknown spiritual flower were all refined and absorbed by Zhao Yun in the fallen dragon cave.

Among the remaining four spiritual objects, the two top-level spiritual objects, the Wild Goose Return Stone and the Mountain God Stone, would take at least two or three days to refine with his current strength, and more than half of the energy of heaven and earth would be dissipated in the process of refining.

Therefore, it would be of great benefit to have the assistance of Lin Shan Shen in refining!
As for the piece of water gold bone, although it is of top-grade spiritual quality, due to its small size, it is expected that all the essence in it can be absorbed tonight.

It is the process of transforming mortal bones into golden bones. Even for martial arts practitioners who specialize in physical training, they need to practice to the realm of 'Sequence 7 Copper Skin and Iron Bones' before they have a chance of practicing it.

Those warriors, who can truly cultivate to the realm of golden bones, need to reach Sequence 6!

Therefore, such a radical transformation may be accompanied by extreme soreness, itchiness and pain!

As for the gifted beauty of the eye shape, it involves the transformation of the eyes, and Zhao Yun is not sure how long the transformation will take...

Zhao Yun thought about it and did not refine the top-grade spiritual water gold bones and innate spirituality directly in the room, but left the mountain god's main temple first.

Because in the square below the mountain temple, there were a group of friends waiting for him to return.

Even if you live in a mountain temple, it would be beautiful, but you still need to tell your friends and report that you are safe.

Otherwise, disappearing overnight for no reason will not only ruin your reputation, but also damage your image in the eyes of your friends.

Then Zhao Yun pushed the door open and a ghost automatically emerged from outside the door.

"General Zhao, where are you going so late at night? There are many evil spirits in the mountain temple. Let me lead the way for you, General Zhao."

"Go to the square on the mountainside, tell my friends, and then come back." Zhao Yun said.

"Then I will send you, General Zhao, to the gate of the mountain temple, and then you can go down to look for your friends, so as not to disturb your gathering with your friends. When you return, I will bring you back to rest, what do you think?" said the Yin God.

"Of course it's possible." Zhao Yun nodded, and then, under the guidance of the Yin God, he turned left and right and finally left the huge mountain temple.

Then the Yin God stayed at the entrance of the mountain temple, and Zhao Yun walked along the long forest path.

When Zhao Yun walked out from the dimly visible forest, a group of people who had been waiting there for a while gathered around him.

At the same time, the movement of these people naturally attracted the attention of many people in the huge square.

For a moment, Zhao Yun came out of the mountain temple and attracted the attention of many people.

"Brothers, the mountain god and I hit it off right away. Now the mountain god has asked me to live directly in the temple. So I came out to talk to you. In addition, I'm afraid I won't be able to search for the spiritual objects condensed in this mountain with you in the next month. I need to plant some spiritual plants and crops in this blessed land of the mountain god. I also need to make some preparations for the rituals required for future sequence promotion."

Someone in the crowd suddenly asked:
"Brother Zhao, you shouldn't be in a hurry to advance to this level, right? Besides, when you go to Guihong City in that continent, won't you be able to use all the money, resources, spiritual fields, etc. at your disposal? It's better than wasting your precious time on farming instead of going to the mountains to inspect and pick spiritual treasures."

"Yes, this spiritual beauty is the most direct way for us to improve our strength, and it can also increase the foundation of our cultivation!"

"Thank you all for your kindness. I will get some other benefits from farming here at the Mountain God, which can make up for the loss of not being able to pick Lingxiu."

"Since Brother Zhao has made arrangements, even if I just spoke rashly."

"It's okay, Brother Ma, your reminder is well-intentioned for me. I should remind you when it's time."

After Zhao Yun reminisced about the past with his brothers around him, he prepared to leave.

But I happened to see the clouds flowing on the distant mountainside suddenly exploded!

A group of people flew out and landed on the square.

Zhao Yun took a closer look and found that it was the Young Master Qin whom he had met once in the Dragon Cave, and Liang Shanying, the Confucian who had brought him good luck twice.

With the arrival of this group of people, Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to leave.

Because Liang Shanying found his friend Ma Wenchao as soon as he glanced around the square!
Then he pointed to Master Qin beside him, and a group of people went straight to Ma Wenchao.

Zhao Yun had previously been in the cave where the fallen dragon was located, and he had heard the conversation between Liang Shanying and Master Qin, and attributed the disappearance of the top-level Lingxiu Mountain God Stone in the cave to the missing Ma Wenchao!

Now, in the square in front of the mountain temple, I happened to meet Ma Wenchao again.

So when the two sides meet, there will definitely be a dispute.

Knowing what was bound to happen next, Zhao Yun naturally wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Instead, wait a moment and prepare to see what the outcome of this dispute is?
And see if the follow-up of this incident will implicate him again?

Or, to what extent will the final result deviate?
It can also be considered as an excuse for myself who obtained the Mountain God Stone.

Don't let this young master Qin, who is obviously from a noble family, catch you with any evidence and then keep chasing you. That would be very uncomfortable.

What happened next was exactly what Zhao Yun had expected.

The group of people walked straight towards Ma Wenchao, who was sitting in a corner of the square and refining a spiritual object.

However, Ma Wenchao had no companions and was considered a lone ranger. Therefore, when he was refining Lingxiu, he deliberately sat away from the crowd.

And most of his mind is spent on refining and absorbing the spiritual charm of the spirit.

But he still maintained some mental awareness of his surroundings and was extremely alert!
