I studied abroad in modern times

The hundreds of Nascent Souls below all looked at the unfolded map, looking at the colored Taizhou and Liangzhou with some surprise in their eyes.

Zheng Fa can understand this surprise - it's not that his contribution is not great, but that Master Tongming made too many concessions.

The 23 counties in the seven states of the Hundred Immortals Alliance are not just the territory, but also the spiritual mines and spiritual plants that the Hundred Immortals Alliance has relied on for its survival for so many years.

Master Tongming gave up four states at once, which was really a big loss:

If he had used four states to defeat the Great Freedom Demon Sect before, he might have become a close friend of the Demon Sect, and even competed with the Nether Immortal for the same position.

Now it is not easy for Master Chengkong to use it to destroy the two states of the Jiu Shan Sect. Not to mention Liangzhou, the Jiu Shan Sect was originally located in Taizhou - Taiyang County, where the secret realm was previously located, is also in Taizhou.

Even the Jiushan Sect did not originally occupy the entire Taizhou.

Now Zheng Fa only needs a nod, and the Jiushan Sect will directly expand its territory, and the territory will be twice as large as before!

What's more, Taizhou is not only the hometown of the Jiushan Sect and is of great significance to the Jiushan Sect, it is also very valuable - Taiyang County's Ling Cave was born, but there is also a Lingshi mine!

Master Chengkong looked at Zheng Fa with a smile, and it could be seen that he had really put a lot of thought into it.

Xie Qingxue looked like a theatergoer. She didn't have much territory. Originally, the resurrection of the Demon Ancestor was not a matter for the Taishangdao family.

Her eyes moved around the other faces.

The expressions of the two transformed gods were a little ugly. After all, the Jiushan Sect took more, so they took less, but they did not dare to speak - not to mention that they could not question Cheng Kong Shangren. Zheng Fa's current strength was also Enough to shut them up.

The expressions on the faces of those Nascent Souls were mostly envious, but as for the expressions on their faces - they were not fools.

She also took a special look at several Nascent Souls of the Jiushan Sect. The Yuan Laotou and the others were a little excited, and they knew that by taking over the two states of Tailiang, they not only regained the sect's old territory, but also gained a lot of territory and resources.

Others looked at Zheng Fa with envy or jealousy, but Zheng Fa not only did not smile, but frowned and thought.

It seems like he really doesn’t want to work hard!

"Zheng Fa?"

Zheng Faxian asked: "What about the secret realm of the Demon Sect?"

He remembered that there was not only a spirit stone mine in Taiyang County, but also a secret realm of the Demon Sect.

"Missing."

Master Chengkong immediately explained what he was worried about, "Tongming went to inquire about it and found that there is no secret exit in that place."

Zheng Fa suddenly remembered the Great Sage Qingyun back then.

The Great Sage Qingyun once said that the price paid by the Demon Ancestor for letting them take action was to give up his own secret realm.

So, this secret realm has now been taken over by the demon clan?

And ran away with it?

From this point of view, Master Chengkong probably did not deliberately try to trick him.

But the question is - does the Jiushan Sect need such a piece of land now?

In terms of population, Jiu Shan Realm also has a lot of people.

To be honest, the effect of the two Tailiang states on the Jiushan Sect is far less than what others think.

Master Chengkong was still a little puzzled: "Zheng Fa, I know you have the Nine Mountains Realm, but this kind of cave world has a single spiritual material and poor material resources after all."

He felt that he was quite sincere.

It's not like Taishangdao doesn't have a cave world. The cave world is safe, but its resources are single and far from enough to support the cultivation of sect disciples.

Otherwise, why should they care about Xuan Wei if they are too wise? They can just close the door and live their own lives.

Who knew Zheng Fa was so cold?

Even the Nascent Souls of the Jiushan Sect seemed to wake up a lot all of a sudden, and the joy on their faces also subsided, and they all had a weighing look on their faces...

This expression made other people feel particularly uncomfortable:

Seeing that the Jiushan Sect was divided into such a large territory, they were already uncomfortable, but they could only hold it in.

But none of these people from the Nine Mountains Sect look down upon these two states, which makes people even more uncomfortable!

I can hardly hold it in any longer!

Is Jiu Shan Realm so wealthy?

…

Of course, the Nine Mountains Realm also has the shortcomings of the Cave Heaven World - the realm is dominated by thunder-type spiritual materials.

But the problem is that Zheng Fa has a way to solve this shortcoming.

With the exploration of the essence of spiritual materials and the improvement of the five elements cycle of spiritual elements, the artificial synthesis of spiritual materials is about to be put on the agenda.

In other words, the problem of spiritual materials that troubles other cave worlds, and even the five mysterious sects such as Taishangdao, is not a big problem in the Jiushan world - as for the cost of synthetic spiritual materials and natural spiritual materials, it is That's another topic.

Master Chengkong also looked puzzled:

He didn't ask Zheng Fa to be grateful, but he didn't expect that there would be times when he couldn't give away the land.

In the silence of everyone, Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, seemingly seeking her opinion.

Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand what he wanted to say, she didn't say anything and just nodded lightly.

Zheng Fa looked at the elder man below again, who smiled at him.

"I, the Jiushan Sect, don't want the land in these two states."

"No?" Master Chengkong has lived for more than ten thousand years. He has met many people and heard many things. At this moment, he can't help but widen his eyes. "The secret realm is really gone."

Zheng Fa shook his head.

He gave up the land of the two states for one reason - Nether Immortal is not dead!

Zheng Fa didn’t know whether Master Chengkong was completely relieved.

But he didn't.

With Netherworld Immortal's strength and Netherworld Immortal's hatred towards him...

They naturally have nothing to fear while hiding in the Nine Mountains Realm.

But it's different when we occupy the two states of Tailiang.

Even though Zheng Fa could stay within the Nine Mountains Realm, if he wanted to manage the two states and collect resources, he would naturally have to send people out - this was a flaw.

The simplest thing is, if Netherworld Immortal captures a disciple of the Nine Mountains Sect, will Zheng Fa save him or not?

If no one goes out, then these two states are even more meaningless.

If there was no method of synthesizing spiritual materials, he would not be so decisive, but now it is another matter.

"You are too...cautious." Master Chengkong looked very embarrassed, and his smile was a little bitter, "You really don't want it?"

"don't want."

Xie Qingxue glanced at Zheng Fa, and then turned her eyes around the Nascent Souls of the Jiushan Sect, her expression inexplicably moved.

"You have made great contributions to the annihilation of the Great Freedom Demon Sect..." Master Chengkong said, "I originally thought that these two states would be enough to reward you, but you... then what do you want from the Nine Mountains Sect? ?”

The Nascent Soul below looked at each other.

Xie Qingxue couldn't help but look a little distorted at this time.

These two things are reversed!

One insists on giving it, and the other insists on not wanting it.

She could read the cry on the expressions of those Nascent Souls - If he doesn't want it, give it to me!

But when she thought about Taishangdao's style of recruiting disciples from all over the place, she understood Master Chengkong's thoughts.

Rewarding for merit is false, but wooing is true.

Is Master Tongming really so generous?

The Netherworld Immortal celebrated his victory even though he was not dead, and he was probably anxious to win over Zheng Fa.

In the final analysis, I made this dumpling just because of Jiushan Sect's jealousy.

Xie Qingxue thought for a moment, and in the legend of Taishangdao's recruitment of disciples that she had heard, such a feat was considered to be a huge one.

She hadn't even heard of the second person.

Unexpectedly...Zheng Fa was not moved at all!

Zheng Fa was stunned, looking at Master Chengkong's sincere eyes, he was speechless for a moment.

But Master Chengkong's expression suddenly changed. He didn't look at him, but at Senior Sister Zhang beside him.

Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at Senior Sister Zhang, only to see Senior Sister Zhang staring at the Jingjing Bamboo on Master Tongming Qingyun, her eyes motionless.

One sentence he almost blurted out: If you want quiet bamboo... who wants quiet bamboo? What quiet bamboo do you want?

But, Zheng Fa really wants to...

They had also studied those dead branches in the past few days, but they couldn't see anything. They were just ordinary bamboo leaves.

Senior Sister Zhang... understands him too well!

"..."

Master Chengkong twitched his mouth and stared at Senior Sister Zhang for a long time, but Senior Sister Zhang remained calm and unblinking.

Although I won’t talk about the main one, you should understand it.

In the end, Master Chengkong was at a disadvantage. After thinking for a while, he actually handed the Jing Jing Bamboo to Zheng Fa.

"This thing... I can only lend it to you, you have to pay it back!"

Zheng Fa opened his eyes slightly, why is this person so stingy!

"The spiritual roots of heaven and earth are precious. Even if this quiet bamboo is dying now, it cannot be given to outsiders without authorization. Even the sect will definitely try to save it... Before my uncle comes, you need to return it to me."

After listening to these words, Zheng Fa understood clearly in his heart. From those Wu Zhi words, it can be seen that this thing is related to the Buddha's path and fruit, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary magic weapons.

Tai Shang Dao valued it so much that even Cheng Kong only dared to lend it out.

He nodded, took one end of the Qingjing Bamboo, and gently twitched it without twitching.

"Master?"

"You have to pay me back..."

It can be seen that Master Chengkong is much more reluctant to give up the territory of the two states just now.

Of course, it may also be because the territory of the two states is not his, but the Qingjing Bamboo is his...

"Definitely!"

"Tell me, what do you want Qingjingzhu for?"

"Just cut two slices...and take a look!"

"...Don't kill me!"

With great difficulty, Zheng Fa finally took the quiet bamboo in his hand.

Master Chengkong sighed, and suddenly confirmed: "Do you really just want to borrow this thing?"

Zheng Fa nodded affirmatively.

"I don't know what you think..." Even Master Chengkong had a puzzled expression on his face, let alone the other gods and Yuanying.

Yes, the Jingjing Bamboo is extremely precious, and Taishang Dao also values ​​it very much - but what is the use of Zheng Fa taking it?

Does he still dare not to pay it back?

Leiyin Temple dares to rob it, but Jiushan Sect doesn't have the ability!

In the eyes of these people, Zheng Fa gave up the resources of Tailiang and Liangzhou and only borrowed Qingjing Bamboo...

It’s really like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

Zheng Fa didn't care what others thought. He just waited until the celebration banquet was over, took Senior Sister Zhang out of the hall, and walked slowly towards the small courtyard where the Jiushan Sect lived temporarily.

He kept wanting to speak, but he didn't speak all the way. It wasn't until he reached the entrance of the courtyard that he asked:

"Senior Sister Zhang, why are you..."

The scene just now was far from Senior Sister Zhang's style - it wasn't like he didn't understand how arrogant Senior Sister Zhang was.

To put it simply, she would rather rob than use such a shameless gesture to obtain some treasure.

Getting Senior Sister Zhang to do what she did today would be even harder than killing her.

Moreover, getting the Jingjing Bamboo is actually not important to Senior Sister Zhang, but it is important to Zheng Fa. It is very important.

"You are the head of Jiushan. It is not easy to ask for help, and you cannot be embarrassed. If you are rejected by Master Chengkong, it will hurt your harmony."

"..."

"I'm not the leader, so I'm not afraid of embarrassment."

"Sister?"

Senior Sister Zhang stopped at the door of her house, stopped in her tracks, and suddenly said: "Didn't you give your face to me before?"

Zheng Fa was startled and knew that what Senior Sister Zhang was talking about was the scene where they accepted the toast together.

"That's enough."

…

Xie Qingxue also returned to her small courtyard. She thought about it and found Yan Wushuang.

"You and Zheng Fa have a good relationship?"

"certainly!"

When Yan Wushuang heard this, he puffed up his chest.

"Then you should visit Jiushan Sect more these days."

"Sister?"

Yan Wushuang was a little puzzled. He had been wanting to play with Zheng Fa a few days ago, but his senior sister did not allow him:

The main reason is that he eats the inside and outside too obviously...

"Jiushan Zong Zheng Fa is a person worth making friends with."

"Ha, he is the big hero this time! Senior sister, you think he is extraordinary too!" Yan Wushuang's eyes were bright and she smiled, "I know I can recognize heroes with my sharp eyes!"

Xie Qingxue nodded.

To be fair, there is this reason - Zheng Fa's performance in Chen County is extremely extraordinary, and it is even more terrifying if you consider that he is just a golden elixir monk.

At least she knew that the ancestor...should not have been able to do this back then.

This is why Master Chengkong went to great lengths to win over Zheng Fa.

Xie Qingxue was a little skeptical. She might not be able to borrow the Jingjing Bamboo herself.

But Zheng Fa can.

But the reason why he is willing to let his junior brother go to Jiu Shan Realm is actually because of another thing: "Of course I value his extraordinary strength and rare talent in the world, but he is much more than that."

"Um?"

"When Zheng Fa said today that he wanted to give up the land of the two states, none of the Nascent Souls of the Nine Mountains Sect showed disapproval..." Xie Qingxue's eyes were a little dazed, and she said softly,

"The resources of the two states are wealth that the Jiushan Sect has never had before."

"Just because of Zheng Fa's words, they gave up when they said they would give up..."

Yan Wushuang didn't expect that the senior sister would value this the most, but... could it be more important than Zheng Fa's talent and strength?

"You don't understand. Geniuses are common. Such people are extremely rare in the Xuanwei world. I believe he didn't seduce you and cheat you."

"Really?" Yan Wushuang showed an overjoyed expression.

Xie Qingxue shook her head and said in a disgusted tone: "It's just that you are stupid..."

She looked at her junior brother and said, "You should go and learn more about how Zheng Fa twisted the sect into a rope."

"Learn from this. Stop cheating on these people's loyalty to the sect."

Yan Wushuang scratched his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly said:

"Senior sister, shouldn't my father learn this?"

"..."

"I'll go back after learning...then my father's position as the head of the clan will be mine, right?"

…

In the laboratory on Jiushanjie University Island, everyone gathered together and looked at the two biggest gains from this battle:

The Quiet Bamboo and the Blood Evil Flag.

Oh, it should be said that it is the three major harvests - the third major harvest. The ancestor of Blood River is standing next to Zheng Fa, looking at the Qingjing Bamboo and the Blood Evil Flag with eager eyes, as if he is not in the same group with the two.

"What to do with this bloody flag?" the elder asked with a frown.

When the Blood Fiend Flag arrived in the Nine Mountains Realm, it was suppressed by the rules of the Nine Mountains Realm. Now it doesn't show any magic, but after all, this thing is related to the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, and everyone is a little afraid of it.

"Destroyed?"

Uncle Huang suggested.

Zheng Fa looked at Ancestor Xuehe, who shook his head and said:

"The Blood Fiend Flag is extremely powerful and is difficult to destroy except for the Quiet Bamboo..."

Having said this, he still felt a little distressed: "This is also a rare treasure of our holy religion, not to mention, this thing will not harm Tianhe..."

Not hurting Tianhe?

By the way, what Zheng Fa grabbed happened to be the pole that Netherworld Immortal used to practice with Yin Yang Rakshasa. It did not hurt Tianhe, only Yin Yang Rakshasa was injured...

Maybe it will be of great merit.

When the Blood River Ancestor said this, Zheng Fa's Blood Evil Flag became more pleasing to the eye.

He thought for a while, then ignored the Blood Fiend Flag, and then looked at Qing Jing Bamboo beside him.

"Cut a little?"

After a long silence, Zheng Fa finally spoke.

The Netherworld Immortal is not dead, and now he is nowhere to be found, with four blood evil flags in his hand.

Zheng Fa naturally didn't dare to chase him, he just ran fast.

Xie Qingxue didn't take action at that time, which left a huge hidden danger.

Even Nether Immortal doesn’t know whether he hates Zheng Fa more or Xie Qingxue more...

Master Chengkong seemed to have pinned his hopes on his uncle, or had other plans and confidence.

After all, Netherworld Immortal came from Tai Shang Dao, and Zheng Fa didn't know the entanglement between them and their understanding of each other.

But he doesn't like to put his hopes on others - studying the spiritual roots of heaven and earth to see if he can cultivate hibiscus wood is the most likely way he can think of to enhance the defense capabilities of the Nine Mountains Realm.

Therefore, he valued Qingjing Bamboo far above other gains.

Others don't understand Zheng Fa's desire for Qingjing Bamboo, but Senior Sister Zhang understands...

Even too understanding.

"...Sure, will Master Cheng Kong cause trouble for us?"

Uncle Pang was a little hesitant.

To do research on Qingjing Bamboo, it is natural to slice it.

But judging by Kong Shangren's expression, Qingjing Bamboo would probably explode if something happened to it.

"It should be fine if you can't die." Zheng Fa thought for a moment, and it's not like he didn't say he wanted to cut this thing: "Cut it!"

After a few sticks of incense, Zheng Fa looked at the quiet bamboo slices in the microscopic array, with a confused expression and some annoyance, as if he had discovered something very simple but had never thought of it, and murmured:

"That's it, that's it..."

Senior Sister Zhang and others beside him also looked at the image of spiritual root cells in the microscopic array, their faces were blank, and they obviously couldn't see why.

Zheng Fa's face was full of smiles.

He gave up the resources of the two states and only borrowed the Qingjing Bamboo to see. He saw the confusion of others.

But now, with just one look, he knew it was worth it!

...

"You mean, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth... are organisms with the spiritual cell structure as the cell nucleus?"

In the modern nursing home, Teacher Tian also showed an expression of discovery.

"Yes... Since the wood magic can be equivalent to the double-stranded structure of DNA, if there is a corresponding spiritual symbol in the spiritual structure, it can naturally replace the role of the cell nucleus."

"This is probably the truth of the so-called spiritual roots of heaven and earth..."
