What I teach you is real stuff.

Chapter 344 Longguai's Conditions

In the sky above Dongzhou, this was the first time that such a big commotion had occurred in the Wanhuo Holy Land since the last loss. Almost the entire Wanhuo Holy Land came out in full force, mobilizing the army to head north with great momentum.

When the army of the Ten Thousand Fire Holy Land passed over Dongzhou, it alarmed countless Dongzhou monks. These Dongzhou monks were shocked and talked about it.

"The Ten Thousand Fires Holy Land has been quiet for a long time since the loss it suffered last time. It is said that the Ten Thousand Fires Holy Lord is dead. Why is there such a big commotion today? What is the intention?"

"When did the Ten Thousand Fire Saint die? Look at the front of the army, isn't the Ten Thousand Fire Saint alive and well?"

"Not dead? Wasn't it said that he was robbed of his life by someone? He's still alive."

"Not only is he not dead, but now he seems to be looking for someone to settle the score. The Ten Thousand Fires Holy Land is heading north. Could it be that the person who attacked the Ten Thousand Fires Holy Lord that day and snatched the strange fire from the hands of many major forces in East Continent is in North Continent?"

These Dongzhou monks kept speculating and their imaginations were running wild.

Someone shook his head, "It's unlikely. It's said that the mysterious man could easily defeat the Ten Thousand Fire Saint Lord that day. Even if he didn't kill the Ten Thousand Fire Saint Lord, he would have seriously injured him. How could such a top figure come from Northern Continent? I think it's more likely that he is from Central Continent.

The only famous sect in Beizhou seems to be the Martial God Sect, and the Martial God Sect doesn’t use strange fire.”

Some onlookers were puzzled. It was hard for them to imagine that the mysterious powerful man who gathered the top forces of East Continent that day was from North Continent. In their impression, North Continent was the most barren place among the seven continents of the Qingtian World, and even a dog would shake his head when seeing it.

How could there be any masters in such a barren place? But now it seems that it is not as they imagined. Could it be that Beizhou is on the rise?
……

The army of the Ten Thousand Fire Holy Land marched towards Beizhou in a mighty force.

Shangguan Huai, Zhou Feng, Old Man Longguai, the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Fires, the Patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and the ancestor of the Tiancan Divine Sect gathered together for a meeting.

Elder Longguai said, "Everyone, the army is not far from Beizhou and is expected to arrive in two days, but there is one thing I want to remind you of.

This huge trip to Northern Continent will definitely cause quite a stir. Although most of the sects in Northern Continent are small and not well-known, they are not without experts. There is even a Martial God Sect in Northern Continent."

When Elder Longguai mentioned the Martial God Sect, the Ten Thousand Fire Saint Lord said, "I know that a few years ago, I fought with an old ancestor of the Martial God Sect of Beizhou and exchanged a few moves. Although the Martial God Sect originated from Beizhou, its foundation is indeed not weak. They have a Tianwu Hunyi Gong in their sect, which is indeed powerful and cannot be created by ordinary geniuses."

The Ten Thousand Fire Saint Lord is considered to be one of the most proud figures in Dongzhou. He has a very high vision and there are very few people who can be praised by him like this. Even among the many powerful people with great forces in Dongzhou, there are still many ordinary people in his eyes.

However, the Lord of Ten Thousand Fires praised the Martial God Sect highly, which shows the strength of this sect's heritage and foundation.

Elder Longguai said: “Yes, this Wushen Sect is quite capable, and their ancestor was also an ascender in the past, leaving behind a good foundation. Moreover, the Wushen Sect is now at its peak, with many masters in the sect, and several of them have transcended the tribulation.

This time we are heading to Beizhou with great fanfare to cause trouble for Daluo Sect. As a fellow Beizhou sect, Wushen Sect will probably not ignore it and will most likely intervene.

If the Wushen Sect intervenes, it may cause considerable obstacles to our affairs."

Upon hearing this, the Fire Phoenix Clan leader snorted coldly and said, "We are going to Beizhou to cause trouble for the Daluo Sect, not to provoke the Martial God Sect. What does it have to do with them? If they don't care, then fine. But if they insist on intervening, then we will attack the Martial God Sect as well."

After all, the Fire Phoenix Clan is descended from the Beast Clan, so they have a rather violent temper and are eager for revenge. If the Martial God Sect dares to jump out to stop them, the Fire Phoenix Clan doesn't mind beating up the Martial God Sect as well.

Elder Longguai said, "I think it is better not to be so reckless. As long as our four major sects unite, we can naturally force the Martial God Sect to retreat without resorting to violence. Isn't that better?
But if the other party insists on intervening, then we will have no choice but to be rude."

Old Man Longguai mentioned this matter in advance because he also wanted to strengthen the cohesion of the alliance.

After all, although the four companies have formed an alliance now, it is actually just a makeshift team put together temporarily. Although it is called an alliance, its cohesion is basically zero.

When they enter Beizhou, the Wushen Sect will most likely jump out to stop them. The best case scenario is that the four families work together to persuade the Wushen Sect to retreat without resorting to violence.

The worst option is to drag the Martial God Sect into it as well, because if they acted as recklessly as the Fire Phoenix Clan just did, and took the idea of ​​"whoever comes to kill them" to deal with the Martial God Sect, it would take a lot of manpower just to deal with the Martial God Sect.

What they should do is to focus on targeting Daluo Sect.

The strong men of the Fire Phoenix Clan listened to what old man Longguai said and felt that it made sense.

After all, Beizhou is the territory of the Wushen Sect. It is normal for the Wushen Sect to intervene if they rashly pull a large army to Beizhou to settle accounts with a younger brother on the Wushen Sect's territory. After all, they were the ones who first caused trouble on the other party's territory, and it is really overbearing for them to not allow their boss to come out to take charge of the situation.

But it is very simple to let the Wushen Sect not care. As long as the four of them work together, have a good talk with the Wushen Sect, explain the cause and effect, and don't be too overbearing, it will be fine.

As the saying goes, if there is revenge, then revenge is needed; if there is a grievance, then grievance is needed. As long as the matter is explained, even the Martial God Sect will not be able to stop them from taking revenge and will have to give way.

The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.

Everyone nodded. In fact, no one among them wanted to fight against the Wushen Sect again for no reason. Naturally, they would save trouble if possible. Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.

Hearing that they all agreed, Old Man Longguai then brought up the second matter.

“The second thing is to help you sort out the things you all need to do when you go to the Northern Continent Daluo Sect. The fact that you can gather here with me today is both a fate and a grudge you all have with the Daluo Sect.

The Fire Phoenix Clan went to Beizhou to avenge the murder of their fellow tribesmen and take back their flesh and blood; the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Fires went to Dongzhou to avenge the serious injuries he suffered and take back the fire trees and silver flowers; as for the Tiancan Divine Sect, they went to avenge their defeat and to appease their unhappiness.

And I am going to destroy the Daluo Sect and take the strange fire from that kid Lu Yuan. Everyone, am I right?"

As soon as Old Man Longguai said this, the three parties suddenly quieted down, and looked at Old Man Longguai with strange eyes.

The Fire Phoenix Clan was fine, the purpose of their trip was indeed just to take revenge and regain their bodies. Although they were a little concerned about the strange fire, they were not serious about it. Moreover, with so many masters here at the moment, it would be quite troublesome for them to seize the strange fire again after taking revenge.

So the strange fire is not that important to them.

But the Tiancan Divine Sect and the Wanhuo Holy Land are different.

The faces of the ancestors of the two major forces turned strange.

Revenge is part of their purpose of this trip. As for the strange fire, it is impossible to say that they have no ideas. After all, Lu Yuan has many kinds of strange fire in his hands.

However, strange fire is a very rare thing. It is difficult to see one in thousands or even millions of years. Lu Yuan has so many of them. How could they not have any ideas?
By then, they would make a fortune by just snatching a few flowers, so part of their trip was revenge, and snatching the strange fire was also part of their plan.

But now that Elder Longguai had said this, the meaning behind it was very clear. This old man actually wanted to take the strange fire for himself?
How could the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Fires and the ancestor of the Tiancan Divine Sect bear it?

"Mr. Longguai, you want to eat all the strange fires by yourself. Isn't your appetite a bit too big? There are nine or ten strange fires. We admit that you are really powerful, but you want to eat them all by yourself. Isn't that a bit too much?"

If it were just a single force, they wouldn't dare to confront Old Man Long Guai head-on, but now it's the interests of three families. Even if Old Man Long Guai has the Alchemist Alliance headquarters behind him, the interests of the three families are combined, so they can still confront each other if they want.

In fact, according to their original idea, after obtaining the strange fire, they could just share it equally among everyone. Lu Yuan had too many strange fires in his hands, so each person could get at least two or three.

At worst, I can let old man Longguai take advantage of me and give him one or two more flowers.

But now, from what this old man said, he actually wanted to eat it all in one bite? This was a bit too much.

The strange fire is the common spoils of war of the four families. Do you want to keep it all for yourself?

Old Man Longguai also knew that his appetite was a bit too big, and these three major forces would not let go of such a rare treasure as the Strange Fire so easily, so there was a reason why he dared to say it at this time.

Firstly, dividing the spoils in advance would be conducive to working without conflicts; secondly, he was also afraid that by the time the strange fire was obtained, these three major forces might suddenly become malicious, and it would be difficult to sit down and talk with them calmly at that time.

Some things are better to be said in advance.

Elder Longguai said: "My fellow Taoists, there is no need to react so strongly. In fact, even if I give you one or two kinds of strange fire, it will not improve you much. Am I right?

Since the improvement is not that big, why not use this insignificant fire to exchange for something of practical use for you?"

When the Ten Thousand Fire Saint heard what Elder Longguai said, he asked, "What do you mean?"

Could it be that this old guy wants to exchange it for something else?
It's not impossible, but it also depends on the value of what he is willing to give out.

The ancestor of the Tiancan Divine Sect also looked at Old Man Longguai and motioned for him to continue.

As for the Fire Phoenix Clan, they actually didn't have much desire to compete for the Heart of the Strange Fire, but it would be nice if they could get some extra benefits.

Elder Longguai knew they were interested, so he said, “As you all know, I work at the Alchemist Alliance Headquarters, and I am also a seventh-rank alchemist.

Moreover, I am not an ordinary seventh-grade alchemist. I am a seventh-grade peak alchemist, and I am only half a step away from breaking through to the eighth-grade realm.

The strange fire in Lu Yuan's hand will be obtained by us by then. If we divide it equally, each person can get two strange fires at most. Even if two strange fires are given to you, the improvement to you will be very limited. But if all are given to me, then I will be able to rely on these strange fires to break through the shackles in one go and become an eighth-grade alchemist.

As you all know, eighth-grade alchemists are very rare even within the Alchemist Alliance, and with the strength and status of everyone here, it would be difficult to get eighth-grade elixirs.

If you are willing to give me all those strange fires, from now on, you will be my friends. If I advance to the eighth rank, I can provide you with any elixir you want in the future. And I can provide you with twenty eighth rank elixirs for free."

Old man Longguai promised them huge profits, which was considered as bribery.

The condition of refining 20 eighth-grade medicinal pills for free was quite sincere, and it really made them excited.

After all, in the entire Qingtian world, there are only a few eighth-grade alchemists, and as for ninth-grade alchemists, they can be counted on one hand.

Eighth-grade elixirs are hard to come by even in Central China, and are of great use to cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing stage. In many cases, an eighth-grade elixir may be able to save a cultivator's life.

This is also the reason why alchemists above the eighth rank have extremely high status.

And what old man Longguai said was true. Even with their current status and strength, it was actually difficult for them to obtain eighth-grade elixirs. The prices of eighth-grade elixirs within the Alchemist Alliance headquarters were sky-high, and they could hardly afford them.

20 eighth-grade medicinal pills, this is indeed a fatal attraction to them. Compared to the two strange fires, the eighth-grade medicinal pills are definitely more attractive.

Moreover, Long Guai also promised that even if the 20 free eighth-grade pills were given away, anyone who wanted to ask him to refine pills in the future could do so by paying him extra compensation, and there were also friendly prices for friends.

That's really good.

The Fire Phoenix Clan agreed directly and straightforwardly.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Fires thought about it. If their Ten Thousand Fires Holy Land could get all nine of Lu Yuan's strange fires, they would definitely not exchange so many strange fires for just 20 eighth-grade pills. But the problem is that their Ten Thousand Fires Holy Land would definitely not be able to get so many strange fires. At most they could get two.

And what old man Longguai said was right. The two strange fires did not bring much boost to his power. Using them to exchange for 20 eighth-grade pills was a good deal.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Fires: "I have no objection, but you have to swear an oath of ascension to me."

Words are not enough. The Lord of Ten Thousand Fires is not as simple-minded as the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Old Man Longguai now says that he can provide eighth-grade elixirs, but in reality, this is just empty talk, because he has not yet broken through to become an eighth-grade alchemist.

It is said that he can break through after obtaining the strange fire, but who knows whether it can be done? And by then he will break through to the eighth-grade alchemist, what if he refuses to pay?
Therefore, making a vow to ascend will make it more credible. If you fail to fulfill your promise, you will not be able to ascend, and this way everyone can feel at ease.

Elder Longguai smiled and said, "That's no problem."

Originally, he had no intention of defaulting on his debt, so he could naturally take the oath of ascension.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Fires saw old man Longguai swear the oath with his own eyes, and only then did he feel relieved and nodded in agreement.

Finally, Old Man Longguai looked towards the Tiancan Divine Sect. Now only the Tiancan Divine Sect’s opinion remained.

"Fellow Daoist, both families have agreed. Now all that's missing is you."

The ancestor of the Tiancan Divine Sect did not speak for a long time, and it was only after a long while that he opened his mouth.

"10 eighth-grade elixirs, our Tiancan Divine Sect will leave behind one strange fire."

After hearing this, old man Longguai frowned.
