Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"This—"

Zhang Jing wanted to say something.

But before he could say anything.

Qu Junhou next to him had already taken the lead.

"Friend from Circle Heavenly Star Temple, don't rush to call me 'Junior Brother'. What if it turns out that you're our junior brother? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"You!"

Upon hearing these words.

A flash of annoyance passed over the man's face across from him.

The laughter in his eyes was replaced by a cold stare.

At the same time,

The man and woman behind him moved forward and glared angrily at Qu Junhou.

Seeing this scene,

Far from being scared, Qu Junhou bared his neat, white teeth in a grin, and said in a provocative tone:

"What's the big deal if there are more people? I can beat up ten!"

As he spoke,

Dangerous threads of aura, like the imminent destruction of all things, started to slowly emanate from Qu Junhou.

In just a moment,

A glint of terror crept onto the faces of the man and woman who had been full of resentment.

Witnessing this,

The leading man's eyes slightly condensed.

He took a step forward,

As cold and violent star energy erupted all around him.

A huge, crimson, phantom star slowly rises at the back of his head. A murderous aura spread outward, filling the air with a faint trace of bloodiness.

Meanwhile,

As if not noticing the tense stand-off between Qu Junhou and the trio, Zhang Jing looked at the woman in the white Golden Core Realm robe indifferently, gently asking:

"Comrade, you still haven't answered my question. What is the cost to rent the palace?"

As his voice echoed,

It seemed to directly break the tense atmosphere between Qu Junhou and the man across from him.

Instantly,

All eyes fell on the woman in the white Golden Core Realm robe.

Gulp—

Feeling these gazes,

The woman couldn't help but swallow nervously, staring blankly.

Although she was in the Golden Core Realm, and had more cultivation than all five people in front of her.

But this didn't give her any sense of security.

After all, she heard every word they just said.

One side is the Boundless Taiyi Taoist Gate, and the other is the Circle Heavenly Star Temple.

Both are the pinnacle legacy forces of the Human Race.

Full of countless divine abilities.

Even if she's just a Foundation Establishment Disciple of them, she is not someone a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator like herself could afford to offend.

Looking at Zhang Jing,

The woman opened her mouth, but couldn't even make a sound.

Her expression seemed as if she was about to cry.

Zhang Jing's gaze flashed.

It seemed he understood her worries.

After a brief moment of thought, he said calmly:

"Everything should be based on the principle of first come, first served. You don't need to worry. As for the three from the Circle Heavenly Star Temple, if they have any issues they can come to me. It won't involve you."

His voice was full of confidence.

Upon hearing this,

The beautiful woman in the white robe couldn't help but bite her lip, a glimmer of intent flashing in her eyes.

That's right!

She was only doing things according to the rules after all.

Those three disciples from the Circle Heavenly Star Temple shouldn't vent their anger on her.

Of course,

What Zhang Jing just said to her was also an important reason.

Not because of his guarantee,

But because the woman heard the hidden meaning in his words.

Following the rules, although it may offend the three disciples of the Circle Heavenly Star Temple, they too wouldn't dare to trouble her because of their rank.

But if she doesn't follow the rules...

Thinking of this,

A sweet smile quickly spread across the woman's face.

First, she glanced apologetically at the three members of the Circle Heavenly Star Temple, then turned to look at Zhang Jing and Qu Junhou.

"Our respected guests, the Jiaoyun Realm will last for three months, and there is half a month left before it begins."

"That is to say, you will need to rent for three and a half months, totaling 3.5 million Immortal Crystals per person."

"What's an Immortal Crystal? Can't we use luck movement?"

Qu Junhou opened his eyes wide, asking with surprise.

"Guests, I'm really sorry. Unlike the Auction Field of All Worlds and other Secret Realms, we can only use Immortal Crystals here, not luck movement."

"If you don't have Immortal Crystals, you can exchange them at the Auction Field of All Worlds. It's just...the Auction Field of All Worlds in Jiaoyun Immortal City temporarily closed down a few days ago and hasn't reopened."

Noticing the embarrassment on the faces of Zhang Jing and Qu Junhou,

The woman quickly explained.

However, her voice grew quieter and quieter.

Hearing this,

Zhang Jing and Qu Junhou's eyes both paused.

They can't use luck movement for transactions?

After they arrived at the world of Qingxiao Xuanming Heaven, other than cultivating in the Cave Heaven, they went to the Liuguang Immortal World to buy legacies and resources.

In other words,

The two of them have never left the Boundless Taiyi Taoist Gate.

How would they know that the various ordinary forces in the Heavenly Realm, as well as the cultivators, use Immortal Crystals, not the profound luck movement?

"Brother Zhang, what should we do?"

Qu Junhou looked at Zhang Jing helplessly.

Meanwhile,

Zhang Jing, who had already reacted, offered the other party a reassuring look, his expression slowly regained its calm.

The closure of the Auction Field of All Worlds in Jiaoyun Immortal City.

Would it affect his exchange of Immortal Crystals?

On the other side.

"Hahaha, since you two Junior Brothers have no Immortal Crystals, I, your Senior Brother, will have to feel ashamed and accept them."

The faces of the three people from the Circle Heavenly Star Temple immediately revealed a smile of pleasure.

Unexpectedly, these two Junior Brothers from the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate didn't even know about Immortal Crystals. More crucially, the Auction Field of All Worlds happened not to be open.

However.

The happiness lasted merely three to five seconds.

The eyes of the three of them suddenly became dumbfounded.

In their line of sight.

A small Golden Bamboo abruptly appeared in Zhang Jing's hand.

On it, a distinctive mark from the Auction Field of All Worlds is engraved, very conspicuous.

...

"That's... the VIP Gold Bamboo of the Auction Field of All Worlds?"

Among the three.

The lead man immediately recognized the object in Zhang Jing's hand, couldn't help but feel amazed, and his heart followed by a strong sense of confusion.

Why would a mere Foundation Establishment Disciple have such a thing?!

The Auction Field of All Worlds is backed by the Wanbao Immortal Sect, one of the top legacy forces. There's no need and it's unlikely for them to please the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate by gifting such a precious VIP Gold Bamboo to a mere disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Unless—

It's because of the sake of someone who stands behind this individual.

The individuals in Mysterious Yellow World who could earn the respect of the Auction Field of All Worlds are few and far between, and each one is famous.

Thinking of this.

The man began to feel that it would better to retreat.

The golden-robed disciple of the Taiyi Sect had already shown an aura powerful enough to be shocking.

Young in age.

The demonstrated strength seemed to have faintly surpassed his own.

However, at this moment.

The one who hasn't made his move among the two, may be even more terrifying.

"What kind of luck is that, I just casually ran into the Foundation Establishment monster from the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate?"

The man said to himself with a bitter smile.

But at this moment.

"Senior Brother, it seems like those two people from the Taiyi Sect got Immortal Crystals from that weird golden paper. Should we...struggle for it? After all, if we can't stay here, we'll have to go to the outer city."

The sister behind him softly opened her mouth to ask.

The Junior Brother beside him looked at the man's eyes, flickering with enthusiasm.

"Forget it, they arrived here first after all. We are all disciples of the top legacy forces, we should keep harmony! Let's do this, there's one palace left, let's give it to junior sister to stay in, and Ning Junior Brother and I can stay in the outer city."

With his words falling.

Both the Junior Brother and Sister immediately looked at him in surprise.

Harmony?

Is this something their Senior Brother could say?

The two wanted to say something more.

However, when they saw the seriousness in the man's eyes.

They couldn't help but shrink their necks.

...

"Honored guest, this is the key, please keep it safe. When you probe it with your Divine Sense, you will be able to sense the location of the corresponding palace."

The woman handed the two palace Jade Keys to Zhang Jing with both hands.

Her eyes were unconsciously drawn to the Golden Bamboo, especially the Mark of Auction Field of All Worlds on its surface, a strong shock appearing in her eyes.

Until today.

She only just learned that there exist such treasures in the world that can connect to the Auction Field of All Worlds at any time and place, and can trade within it.

"Is this the kind of resource I can enjoy as a disciple of my Human Race's top legacy force?"

The woman's heart was full of envy.

No wonder so many people want to join one of the seven top legacy forces even if they have to fight for it.

At this moment.

Opposite the woman.

Zhang Jing directly handed one of the Jade Keys in his hand to Qu Junhou, and said with a smile:

"Brother Qu, three thousand five hundred units of luck movement, remember to return them to me after we return to the Tao Sect."

"Three thousand five hundred units of luck movement?"

Qu Junhou said in surprise.

"Exactly, that's outrageously expensive. This really is 'a hundred years of no business, but when business finally comes, it makes up for a hundred years." Zhang Jing's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

When he used the VIP Gold Bamboo to exchange for Immortal Crystals earlier.

He was surprised to find that the exchange rate was as high as one hundred to one.

By this calculation.

Renting a palace for three and a half months costs three thousand five hundred units of luck movement!

Just be aware, even treasures containing the power of time such as the River of Time Golden Sand costs only a hundred units of luck movement per grain at most.

While the two were talking.

Off in the distance, a man dressed in emerald-green robes quietly came out of the palace. His appearance was exceedingly ordinary, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Upon seeing Zhang Jing and Qu Junhou.

The man was momentarily startled.

"Disciples of our Taiyi Tao Sect? Tch, people of the Nine Domains."

His gaze first swept over the Jade Keys in the hands of Zhang Jing and Qu Junhou, then over the only Jade Key in the hands of the three people from the Circle Heavenly Star Temple.

A few guesses began to form in his heart.

The next moment.

He saw the other party take a step and instantly arrived at the Golden Pill seductive woman's side, asking indifferently:

"Are there only three last palaces left here?"

Upon hearing his words, the woman nodded.

The man understood.

He then saw him slowly walk up to Zhang Jing and Qu Junhou, showing a kind smile on his face, quietly saying:

"You two junior brothers, I am called Ge Qingshen! Would you be willing to give me some face and let your two Taoist friends from the Circle Heavenly Star Temple have the keys to the palace in your hands?"

"They are old friends of mine."

"Don't worry, I will make up for the Immortal Crystals you guys lost, how about it?"
