Chapter 361 Excess Dividends
Chapter 363 - Excessive Dividends
Lu Chang'an was not surprised when Jing Wufeng was promoted to YuanYing.
After all, this person possesses a top grade innate dao body, his qualifications are superb, his followers are extraordinary, and as early as a dozen years ago, he cultivated to the peak of Immortal Jindan.
Lu Changan did not take the initiative to contact Jing Wufeng when he was informed of his whereabouts. If he is interested in getting a share of the profits, he will come here sooner or later.
Next, Lu Changan secretly paid attention to Jing Wufeng's information movements.
This heavenly pride has made a name for himself in the Ancient Pantheon and has been promoted to the Infant Stage, making him a popular figure amongst all major forces, including intelligence organizations.
Half a year later.
Lu Chang'an received new information that Jing Wufeng had reappeared in Cloud Sky City, the number one Immortal City in the Central Region.
Jing Wufeng stayed in Cloud Sky Immortal City for a short while and then disappeared for a while.
Two months later, when he appeared again, he was in the area of influence of "Baqi Mountain", which is adjacent to the southern side of Da Yu Kingdom.
The Eight Gifted Mountain is an alliance of evil forces, and has a bad relationship with the Daewoo Kingdom, belonging to a hostile camp.
The reason is that part of the area of Yaqi Mountain originally belonged to the Daewoo Kingdom in its heyday.
This appearance, Jing Wufeng's first encounter as a YuanYing True Monarch. It was rumored that Jing Wufeng was surrounded by two veteran YuanYing True Monarchs.
However, the outcome of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations.
In a one versus two situation, Jing Wufeng not only won, but also seriously injured a peak early stage YuanYing True Lord and nearly fell.
This battle shook the neighboring cultivation world.
The Da Yu Kingdom, Ba Qi Mountain, Da Luo Kingdom, Wan Feng Mountain and other power camps all began to focus on collecting intelligence information on Jing Wufeng.
It is said that this "Jing Tian Zhen Jun" has a strong innate Taoist body, and his magical power is far superior to his peers, and he does not rely on powerful external objects to win.
In this battle, Jing Tian Zhen Jun did not show any sign of his spiritual treasures, which broke some rumors and suspicions, and made the rivals even more fearful.
"It should be here soon......."
Lu Changan surmised from Jing Wufeng's trajectory that his person should be coming in the direction of Da Yu Kingdom.
The Da Yu royal family seemed to see the beginning of it and declared to the public that they invited Jing Wufeng to be their guest, but the latter didn't pay any attention to it.
......
Two days later, a powerful YuanYing level reclining light, like a silver rainbow piercing through the sun, arrived in front of Yunxia Sect's mountain gate.
The Zixia Fairy, who was meditating at the main peak of the fourth rank, immediately sensed it and was slightly moved.
The mana breath of the visitor is so vast that she can't see through it, and she feels a slight sense of pressure.
"I, Jing Wufeng, have come to pay my respects to the Yunxia Sect."
Dressed in a green silk shirt, Jing Wufeng, calm and relaxed, stood in the sky above Yunxia Sect. The silver-colored wind haze under his feet converged, and the invisible spatial ripples disappeared.
"True Lord Jing Tian? Why would he visit Yunxia Sect for no reason?"
True Lord Zixia's face was solemn, naturally, he had heard of this newly-promoted YuanYing's reputation.
If the rumored battle results were true, True Monarch Jing Tian's magical power and aptitude was definitely the best amongst the early stage of YuanYing, outperforming his Dao Couple, True Monarch Yun Lan.
Immortal Zixia didn't dare to be slow, and while flying out of the cave, she exchanged divine sense with Lu Chang'an.
"I'm not hiding it from you, Zixia, but when True Lord Jingtian was a Pillar Cultivator many years ago, he met Xiang by chance. Before entering the Ancient Pantheon, this person had allowed Xiang Mou to customize a third-order upper-grade puppet, and owed him some spirit stone materials."
Lu Changan let out a bitter smile and transmitted a voice response, stating the truth....
When they met last time, Jing Wufeng acted in a more low-key manner and only contacted them privately, not wanting to alarm the Yunxia Sect.
This time, it was an open and honorable visit.
On second thought, this is also human nature.
The first time I saw you was when I was at the top of the clouds in the Immortal Cultivation World.
If he was a YuanYing cultivator, he would not have had to sneak around when he went to meet Xia WenYue at the Ao Yue Palace.
What's more, after Jing Wufeng was promoted to the YuanYing stage, his aptitude could undergo a drastic change, surpassing that of an ordinary YuanYing.
His strength is close to the middle YuanYing stage. In addition to the special ability of the space type dao body, I'm afraid that even the middle YuanYing stage can't deal with him.
At this level, Jing Wufeng is strong enough to traverse the Great Abyss Central Region.
Looking at the vast abyss, only the three great cultivators and very few other existences can pose a real threat to him.
"In that case, True Lord Jing Tian's visit at this moment is to thank and repay your favor?"
True Monarch Zixia's starry eyes flowed and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, sizing up the bald, blue-robed Elder Xiang.
An ascetic cultivator like Xiang Dalong who has been in seclusion for a long period of time is actually able to make the acquaintance of a YuanYing True Monarch with great battle prowess?
"It should be so. Although Xiang is not deeply acquainted with True Lord Jingtian, from past contacts, he is quite reputable." Lu Chang'an nodded his head.
True Monarch Zixia rolled the recluse light under her feet and carried Lu Chang'an with her as she flew out of the mountain gate to greet True Monarch Jingtian.
"Fairy Zixia's beautiful name, Mister Jing has heard about it for a long time."
Jing Wufeng smiled and bowed.
True Monarch Zixia owed a bow and said with a light smile, "True Monarch Jing Tian's mighty name, my concubine heard about it not long ago, and I am quite in awe of it."
Jing Wufeng's pale green colored pupils swept over the poised female True Monarch, and then looked meaningfully at Lu Chang'an.
Elder Xiang is so powerful, with a fourth-order puppet and a transformed demon king, enough to suppress the average YuanYing stage, yet he is lying low and hibernating in the YunXia Sect, he must have some plans. "Congratulations True Lord Jing, the day you achieve YuanYing, who in the world won't know you."
Lu Changan was about to bow and perform the etiquette of a junior.
"Eh, Fellow Daoist Xiang is out of place. You and I have known each other since the JieDan stage, Mister Jing got the chance to advance to the YuanYing stage, also with the help of Elder Xiang."
Jing Wufeng immediately waved his hand, invisible mana holding Lu Chang'an, asking to be treated as equals.
Lu Chang'an didn't push back, by virtue of the spirit pet of a fourth-ranked sacred beast, he was basically able to get along with ordinary YuanYing on an equal footing.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Chang'an accompanied the two True Lords and took a seat in the main hall of Yunxia Sect to talk together.
During the chat, True Lord Zixia didn't forget to ask Jing Wufeng about the news of his Dao Couple Yun Lan.
After all, Jing Wufeng was one of the high-ranking cultivators who entered the Ancient Pantheon.
"Inside the Ancient Specter Hall, Mister Jing had a meeting or two with Daoist Yun Lan...... The last time we met, we hurriedly souvenired each other, and at that time, Daoist Yun Lan had injuries on her body, but they weren't fatal."
Jing Wufeng revealed an expression of reminiscence.
True Lord Zixia pressed for some more details and finally expressed his gratitude.
There were more than one or two YuanYing cultivators who had clashed with True Monarch YunLan due to the chance treasures in the Ancient Pantheon.
Including Jing Wufeng, he had also offended several YuanYing cultivators, more than one major power.
"Demon Blade Nangong Hugh...... Pagoda Scatterer......"
Zixia True Lord silently recited two names in his heart.
Based on the descriptions of several entrants, she locked on to two obvious suspects, both of whom had contact with True Lord Yun Lan before his Dharma body was destroyed....
Among them, the "Demon Blade" Nangong Huo had fought with True Monarch Yun Lan for the chance to win the precious materials.
The "Pagoda Scatterer" is a YuanYing stage cultivator who has been a close friend of True Lord Yun Lan for hundreds of years.
After the battle of the Ancient Pantheon, Nangong Huo disappeared as a wanted person in the Southern Domain Sword Pavilion; the Pagoda Scatterer even left the Central Domain, and is said to have gone to the coastal area of the Eastern Domain.
Half an hour later.
Jing Wufeng proposed to go to Lu Changan's residence for half a day to repay the previous debt.
Zixia True Monarch did not participate any further and watched the two of them leave, revealing a thoughtful expression.
She sensed that True Lord Jingtian was not interested in himself or the Yunxia Sect, but was mainly interested in Elder Xiang.
With True Lord Jingtian's power and reputation, even an ordinary YuanYing True Lord would have to be respectful.
Even if a JieDan cultivator has a fourth-order spirit pet, it is not enough for True Monarch JingTian to attach such importance to it and personally pay his respects.
When this situation occurs, either the two sides are really good friends, or Elder Xiang still has unknown abilities or secrets in his body that are attractive to Jing Wufeng.
Since Elder Xiang joined the Yunxia Sect, he had rarely gone out and did not have many opportunities to make friends.
When you think about how obedient and respectful Earth Rock Monarch has always been towards Elder Xiang, you can't help but think about the fact that Elder Xiang has always been obedient and respectful.
Zixia True Monarch's heart has some hidden guesses.
For the first time, she is curious about the honest Elder Xiang, including his past.
......
Green Luan Peak Cave.
Jing Wufeng was the second YuanYing True Lord to visit Lu Chang'an from the outside.
The last one was the Xiao Family Ancestor, stemming from the bond of Xiao Qingshan.
In the inner hall of the cave, Lu Chang'an waved away his servants and had a secret talk with Jing Wufeng.
The original Xuan Tian Gourd Vine was moved several years ago to the bottom of the Earth Rock Monarch's fourth-ranked spiritual vein, where it has a better growing environment and is guarded by a fourth-ranked Demon King himself.
"Fellow Daoist Jing hasn't seen you for many years, and you ended up making a baby in the Dan Dao Alliance's boundary, which is beyond Xiang Mou's expectations."
Lu Chang'an said with surprise on his face.
As far as he knows, Jing Wufeng has a certain network in Yun Tian City, and back then, he also accompanied the Yuan Ying cultivators from Yun Tian City to enter the Ancient Specter Hall.
"Alas, the situation inside the Ancient Pantheon is complicated, and there are so many opportunities and lures that it's hard to tell at a moment's notice. Fellow Daoist Xiang can roughly be interpreted as 'unequal sharing of the spoils'."
"After leaving the Ancient Pantheon, Mister Jing had no choice but to settle for the second best, changing his face to become an infant in the relatively neutral Dan Dao Alliance. For this reason, I paid for several thousands of years old medicines, including a lost ancient medicinal formula from the Ancient Pantheon Palace, which was exchanged for the guarantee of a fourth-order spirit vein for the impact of YuanYing." Jing Wufeng told the reason for his suffering, recalling an experience before his infancy, a trace of unnatural complexity appeared on his face.
In order to strive for infancy as soon as possible and get through the crisis, he made good relations with the granddaughter of a fourth-ranked dan master and took care of the latter.
Luckily, after advancing to Yuan Ying, everything was not a problem.
The old YuanYing monsters in YunTian City who coveted his belongings are now at peace with each other and no longer "rumor" about him.
"This time I came over, Mister Jing returned the rented puppets, as well as the agreed share of the harvest."
Jing Wufeng first took out a badly damaged puppet.
Lu Changan was slightly speechless as he scrutinized the charred and blackened assassin's puppet in front of him, missing limbs and nearly useless.
This Assassin Puppet is the strongest third-ranked top-ranked puppet except for the fourth-ranked puppets, and has accumulated the feelings of many years of studying puppetry skills....
Fortunately, the core components of the puppet were barely preserved, and there was still a chance to reuse it.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xiang, Mister Jing has promised to pay for the loss of the puppet."
With an apologetic face, Jing Wufeng took out two more storage bags.
Lu Changan's divine sense swept over one of the bulging storage bags.
It contained materials for refining weapons and puppets, which were at least the top grade of the third rank, with some of them reaching the quasi-fourth rank, which could completely rebuild a top-grade puppet of the third rank.
The other storage bag contained the dividend income from the Ancient Pantheon.
"Fourth Order Moon Tung Wood...... Purple Psi Ore...... Xuan Crystal Marrow......"
Lu Changan's eyelids jumped, the dividend income in the storage bag exceeded his expectations.
The six or seven precious materials within it were all starting at the fourth rank, and even nearly half of them were mid-fourth rank.
Moon Tung Wood, fourth-order medium grade, rare spirit wood in the Immortal Cultivation world, can be used for formations, as a treasure embryo, spirit talisman raw materials.
Purple Phenomenon Ore, fourth grade, contains some of the attributes of the Soul Dao, can be used to enhance the power of the Nail Head Arrow.
Xuanjing Marrow, Fourth Grade Medium, a rare weapon crafting material that can increase the quality and power of magic treasures, and can also be used to build puppets.
The three most precious precious materials, except for the Purple Specter Ore, which only has a few dozen pounds, the other two are much more plentiful.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang doesn't have to go into the Ancient Pantheon to fight to the death and get such a gain, it already exceeds some of the YuanYing old monsters."
Jing Wufeng observed Lu Changan's expression and lamented.
When he entered the Ancient Pantheon, although his strength was not afraid of YuanYing True Lords, it was not realistic to pose too much of a threat, unless it was a secret plan.
Thanks to this third-ranked top puppet, it was a perfect match for his abilities, and had assisted him in the chaotic situation by shading tricky YuanYing Elder Monsters to death.
"As long as it meets the agreed upon 10% of the proceeds, it is sufficient for Fellow Daoist Jing to have a clear conscience."
Lu Chang'an put away his storage bag and said without moving.
Upon hearing this, Jing Wufeng's face froze with a slight smile, and he remained silent for a little while.
He smiled bitterly again and said: ''Truth be told, that 10% of the proceeds distribution, there is still a little short. Jing Mou used to promote YuanYing, cultivate divine abilities, as well as forging magic treasures to protect the Dao, nowadays the hand is very tight......."
"Understandable, after all, Fellow Daoist Jing has experienced life and death in the Ancient Pantheon, and when he came out, he had to recuperate from his injuries and hide from his enemies, so he had no choice."
Lu Changan was just testing the waters and said with a smile, "Mister Xiang is not an insatiable person. Those proceeds have already been satisfied, now it can be counted as fulfillment of the agreed share."
Jing Wufeng let out a sigh of relief, appreciating Elder Xiang's sense of humor and knowing when to retreat.
In fact, he also regretted that there was no upper limit for the one percent bonus he had promised at that time.
The outside world didn't realize that this time, the Ancient Hall of Purity was unusual.
"Mister Jing specially traded a fourth-order Blood Dragon Fruit in Yun Tian City, which is a precious main ingredient of the Holy Pill of Body Refinement, and serving it raw can also increase the power of Body Refinement."
"This fruit, right as compensation from Mister Jing."
Jing Wufeng spoke solemnly and handed over a sealed jade box. Lu Changan took the jade box, and his divine sense probed and found that the dragon scale blood-colored fruit sealed inside contained a huge amount of heaven and earth's blood elemental energy.
The value of this fruit far exceeds that of a fourth-ranked spirit fruit of the same grade, and is second only to the Infant Transformation Fruit.
Lu Changan's concurrent cultivation of body refining has reached the peak of the late third stage.
The fourth stage of body refining is a terrifying gap, and Lu Changan has almost reached the point where he can't advance....
Qualification, chance, and the environment of heaven and earth have all become shackles.
If he were to practice step by step, Lu Changan would not be able to cultivate into the fourth stage of Body Refinement even if he stayed up for hundreds of years.
The difficulty of promotion is even greater than that of Infant Formation.
In today's environment, Body Refinement is even more difficult than Qi Refinement, and the higher you go, the more obvious it becomes.
In the Dharma Cultivation path, one can occasionally hear the legend of God Transformation. But for those who have reached the fifth level of body refining, it is unheard of in the Tianyan Continent since ancient times.
This fourth-ranked Blood Dragon Fruit has given Lu Changan a glimpse of the future.
In the future, after the baby is born, he can then seek the opportunity to advance to the fourth stage of Body Refinement.
......
"Fellow Daoist Jing has a heart, this harvest exceeded Xiang Mou's expectations and I am satisfied."
Lu Chang'an immediately expressed his gratitude.
The two of them smiled at each other, bringing this transaction to a successful conclusion.
Afterwards, the two of them talked in a relaxed atmosphere, as if they hadn't seen each other for many years.
During this time, Lu Chang'an was curious to ask about some of the details of what happened in the Ancient Hall of Purity.
"That rumored Pseudo-Spiritual Treasure, has Fellow Daoist Jing ever seen it?"
Lu Chang'an asked curiously as his gaze flickered lightly.
"That Pseudo Spiritual Treasure, favors the evil path, Mister Jing saw it from afar, his heart palpitated and was uneasy, how would he dare to approach it?"
"However, those YuanYing old monsters, most of them didn't understand the true characteristics of spiritual treasures, and the fight for it was laughable. It's a pity that Mister Jing was low in magical power at the time, and his divine abilities were not enough, otherwise he would have had at least one fight."
Jing Wufeng said with slight regret.
"Mister Xiang heard the rumor mongering information from the outside world that Fellow Daoist Jing has clues to the Spiritual Treasure on his body?"
Lu Chang'an couldn't help but test the waters.
"There is no such thing! Evil Dao Spiritual Treasures do not fit into Mister Jing's gong method, and even if one obtains it, it would be a thankless task for the early stage of YuanYing."
Jing Wufeng shook his head and denied.
"Elder Xiang won't gullibly believe such rumors, right?"
"Well, cultivators of my generation don't believe in rumors and don't spread rumors."
Lu Chang'an smiled and did not delve deeper into the matter.
If Jing Wufeng really got the Spiritual Treasure, knowing too much would not be a good thing.
At the level of a Spiritual Treasure, it meant a terrifying deterrent, so how could there be a distinction between good and evil?
At sunset, Jing Wufeng said goodbye.
Before parting, he left meaningful words:
"Fellow Daoist Xiang, you and I are both outsiders, in this cultivation realm of Yuanzhou, we should work together and take care of each other."
Lu Changan's eyes fluctuated as he watched Jing Wufeng's back as he left.
In fact, he came from outside the Great Abyss this secret, when he joined the Yunxia Sect, he frankly told Zixia Zhenjun, his reason, or borrowed from Jing Wufeng.
Jing Wufeng now broke this point, it is not surprising.
The two have worked together many times, Jing Wufeng will certainly focus on his information, and he is equipped with a variety of special techniques.
Tracing back to the source, Xiang Dalong's identity first appeared around the forbidden area of the Central Region, and has no footing elsewhere in the Great Abyss.
......
True Monarch Zixia did not retain or recruit True Monarch Jingtian.
Yunxia Sect had already recruited Elder Xiang and Earth Rock Monarch, but it could not accommodate this great Buddha.
With True Monarch Jing Tian's reputation and track record, an ordinary early stage YuanYing would be a threat to his life.
"This monarch is related to the Spiritual Treasure Clue and has provoked several major powers of the Central Domain's YuanYing True Monarchs. Senior brother should be more cautious when dealing with him."
True Lord Zixia purposely transmitted a voice and reminded Lu Chang'an....
"Many thanks for the caution, Senior Sister, I will keep my distance from him."
Lu Changan knew that Immortal Zixia had good intentions.
Jing Tian Zhen Jun's direct visit this time had both advantages and disadvantages for Lu Chang'an.
The good thing is, having another powerful True Lord friend will increase the fear of the outside forces.
The downside is that Lu Chang'an will be implicated to a certain extent and will be exposed to more forces and bigwigs. Would True Lord Jing Tian be unaware of the importance of this?
Lu Changan surmised that Jing Wufeng mostly did it on purpose, so as to pull himself into a battle line, which would be more favorable to the future Demon Sealing mission.
"If this monarch obtains the Pseudo Spiritual Treasure, it is hard to predict the future storm."
Lu Changan suspected that the Pseudo Spiritual Treasure might be obtained by Jing Wufeng.
This person was equivalent to an underestimated Yuan Ying True Lord in the Ancient Pantheon, and despite his unexceptional strength, his spatial abilities were adept at concealment and stealing.
A Jing Tian True Monarch who possessed a pseudo-spiritual treasure could theoretically easily exterminate an ordinary Yuan Ying, and was also a great threat to Lu Chang'an.
Fortunately, according to the memories of the "Shakai True Monarch", who is the heir to the Hearing Sea Pavilion, the pseudo-spiritual treasure consumes a lot of money, so it is difficult for ordinary YuanYing to manage it, and even a YuanYing cultivator can't squander it at will.
In the Hearing Sea records, there was a record of three YuanYing True Monarchs teaming up to use pseudo-spiritual treasures to fight against foreign enemies.
Lu Chang'an had speculated that if an early stage YuanYing mastered a pseudo-spiritual treasure, he could at most deliver one blow in a short period of time before his entire body would be drained of mana, depleting his blood and vital energy.
Although Jing Wufeng had a thousand year old spirit milk, what was consumed was not only mana, essence and blood, but also several times the load of YuanYing's divine sense.
Thus, staying in the clan's situation, even if Jing Wufeng manipulated the pseudo-spiritual treasure and had the ability to kill Lu Chang'an to silence him, the risk was quite high, and even more so, he had to consider the aftermath.
"It is best to avoid meeting with Jing Wufeng in private until he is promoted to YuanYing."
Lu Chang'an made up his mind, even if he cooperated several times and trusted again, he couldn't put himself in danger.
......
That night, the cave secret room.
Lu Changan summoned his fourth-ranked Green Armored Puppet and together they appreciated the pile of fourth-ranked precious materials they had just obtained.
"Excellent! Most of these materials can be used to refine an alien spirit puppet, or to strengthen old man's puppet body."
The two ghost flames in the green-armored puppet's eye sockets flickered with excitement.
"I'll keep the Moon Tong Wood and Purple Specter Stone to be useful, the other precious materials can be used as puppet materials."
Lu Changan exchanged his consciousness with Wei Puppet Master for a moment.
Even if all of these materials were used, it would be impossible to make a drastic improvement in the Green Armor Puppet. Besides, Wei Puppeteer had no experience in building a fourth-order mid-grade.
However, the materials used to refine the Alien Spirit Puppet were completely sufficient, and even somewhat excessive.
"Together with the previous fourth-order main materials such as the dragon skeleton and dragon tendon skin, the core materials to build the Alien Spirit Peacock Puppet are better than expected. The planned building program, we can implement it ahead of schedule."
Puppet Master Wei couldn't wait. With the materials in place, there was a higher margin for error and no need to be catty about the details.
