The Fourth Financial Crisis

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Elder Zhai quickly made his decision.

He gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I know that I cannot escape my guilt, and I am willing to invite myself to Qishan Prison to think about it for a hundred years!"

Ordinary late-stage Jindan monks can live for more than six hundred years.

Elder Zhai is over 500 years old this year. If he is imprisoned in Qishan Prison for another hundred years, it will be equivalent to spending most of the rest of his life in Qishan Prison, unless he can be like the Wuliang Sword Sect. Like the legendary Ancestor Mingzhu, he achieved the feat of breaking through the Nascent Soul realm while sitting in prison.

However, it is so difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. It is already very good if only one or two of the dozens of late-stage Jindan monks can succeed, not to mention that the only advantage of Qishan Prison is that it can practice without distraction, and it does not even provide cultivation resources to assist in breaking through the realm. , over the years, only Ancestor Mingzhu has successfully broken through the Nascent Soul bottleneck in Qishan Prison. However, Ancestor Mingzhu was originally sentenced to life imprisonment. Even if he breaks through the realm of Nascent Soul, he can only continue to serve prison food. …

Elder Zhai chose to submit himself to Qishan Prison for a hundred years, which is already a very severe punishment. And because he went to prison voluntarily, Yin Huaiyuan's merits did not even need to be deducted. The only advantage of doing so may be that it would not harm his family. .

Although Yin Huaiyuan wanted to torture Elder Zhai, doing so would undoubtedly greatly damage his merits. Seeing that the other party took the initiative to accept the heavy punishment, he finally reluctantly agreed and said: "Okay, since you have this consciousness, then go enforce the law yourself. Please accept your guilt!"

After saying that, Yin Huaiyuan turned to the other two elders and said: "Now the Artifact Refining Hall of Arctic Cold Palace cannot be left alone, so you two should take the blame first and make meritorious service. I will settle this debt with you in the future!"

Elder Zeng and Elder Chu did not dare to refute, so they could only nod in agreement.

Yin Huaiyuan waved his hand impatiently and sent these two unopinionated guys away.

After arranging things in the Artifact Refining Hall of Arctic Cold Palace, Yin Huaiyuan turned to Tian Beixi and Lin Musen again and said: "I have heard that you guys have gone through so much trouble to treat my injuries, but it is actually Qing Ning who suffered the consequences behind the scenes. Consultant Yang of the Chamber of Commerce requested the request, and the reward that Consultant Yang of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce asked for was the permission to visit Qishan Prison?"

Lin Musen replied: "I am just being entrusted by others!"

Yin Huaiyuan said with a half-smile: "Did you really spend so much effort just to go to the prison to meet that fellow Taoist Mingzhu? I think I had dealt with fellow Taoist Mingzhu several times at the beginning, although this person was with me back then. Li Qingyang is similar, he is a follower who runs errands for the Ascending Immortal, but I feel that he is not welcomed by the Ascending Immortal!"

Obviously, Yin Huaiyuan, like Tian Beixi, also suspected their motives for going to Qishan Prison.

However, Lin Musen said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I have already reported the reason to you. This is indeed just President Li's last wish. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

Yin Huaiyuan had been the master of the Arctic Cold Palace for hundreds of years, and he was not something that Lin Musen could easily fool.

But after listening to Lin Musen's explanation, Yin Huaiyuan just stared at the several Qi Refining Stage monks in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, and then he laughed dumbly and said: "You have cured my injury, so I should give you some reward." . But to be honest, using a mere prison visit permission as a reward for curing my injury is indeed a bit light. In this case, I won’t ask you what you want to do. Even if you really want to rescue Mingzhu, I will You can pretend not to know!”

As we all know, after the Infinite Sword Sect headed by Lin Jianxing took over, it continued to suppress the Immortal faction headed by Mo Yunlan. Especially after the death of Li Qingyang, the strength of the Infinite Sword Sect has become significantly better. If the Immortal faction had not With the emergence of new Nascent Soul stage monks, it will be difficult to compete with the head clan in the future.

In addition to Mo Yunlan and Cheng Shuying, the Immortal Department does not have a third Nascent Soul Stage monk. The Mingzhu Patriarch who was imprisoned in Qishan Prison was the former head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Ma Tianyi. His registered disciple has an inexplicable relationship with the three Ascended Immortals. If Mingzhu Patriarch can be invited out of the mountain again, then the Immortal Department led by Mo Yunlan will be able to compete with Lin Jianxing, Qiu Longbo, and Ren Tianyuan. The leading sect leader is trying to show off his strength.

When Yin Huaiyuan saw that Li Qingyang's descendants spent so much money to enter Qishan Prison, he obviously began to doubt their true intentions. However, Yin Huaiyuan obviously thought wrong and thought they were planning to rescue Wuliang Jianfei. Ancestor Mingzhu did not guess that their real purpose was to rescue Wang Sandao.

This cannot be blamed on Yin Huaiyuan for thinking too little. After all, when Wang Sandao was captured alive and imprisoned in Qishan Prison, it was a joint decision made by cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces. Even Li Qingyang and Tian Daxiao, who were sympathetic to the Spirit Clan, did not send the Infinite Sword Sect Telling the Kaihua Spirit Clan about using the Great Sen Luo Wanxiang Sword Formation to set up an ambush was considered to be on the opposite side of the Kaihua Spirit Clan.

Therefore, let alone seeking the support of Wang Sandao, ordinary cultivators would be fine even if they are not retaliated by Wang Sandao.

Yin Huaiyuan never expected that there would be another enlightened spirit prince Wei in the Jiuzhou cultivation world, and Wang Sandao was also a direct descendant of Wang Sandao. He had already negotiated terms with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, even if Wang Sandao no longer trusted cultivation. However, he would not deny his junior Wang Ziwei a chance to lobby.

From Yin Huaiyuan's misunderstanding, we can also see how clever this excuse compiled by Wang Ziwei was.

For those who don't know, Wang Ziwei can evade it by saying that he just wants to visit Elder Li Xing's acquaintances and fulfill Elder Li's last wish, and has no other intentions. And if someone insists on getting to the bottom of it, he can take a step back and say that he is preparing to rescue Ming Ming. Zhu, no matter what, it would be difficult for others to associate his true purpose with rescuing Wang Sandao, the leader of the Spirit Tribe.

Hearing that Yin Huaiyuan acquiesced in their abduction of Mingzhu, Tian Beixi immediately hinted: "Palace Master Yin, rescuing people from Qishan Prison is not a trivial matter. You can't joke around..."

Yin Huaiyuan naturally understood what Tian Beixi meant.

He smiled knowingly and said: "Haha, I was just talking casually. In fact, I also hope that someone can get that guy Mingzhu out. After all, imprisoning a Yuanying-stage monk is much more troublesome than imprisoning a Jindan-stage monk. Times, every year just to maintain the ban, a lot of unnecessary operating costs have to be paid. Furthermore, now that Lin Jianxing controls the Lingshi Reserve Bank to do whatever he wants, someone needs to stand up and check him. If it weren't for our Arctic Han Palace Since I have the primary responsibility of guarding Qishan Prison, I really thought about secretly letting Ming Zhu out."

Having said that, Yin Huaiyuan's attitude is actually very obvious.

The Qingning Chamber of Commerce wanted to go to Qishan Prison to cause trouble. He, Yin Huaiyuan, would not take the initiative to provide any help, but as long as he pretended not to know, he would be providing them with the greatest convenience.

Seeing that the main conditions had been negotiated, Lin Musen also cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Palace Master Yin."

Yin Huaiyuan took out a token engraved with his own magic mark and threw it to Lin Musen and said: "You're welcome, you are now a serious Arctic Cold Palace monk. We are all a family. Our Arctic Cold Palace is not the wind-controlling sect. If we need talents like you, we will do our best in the future. We will never treat you badly. As for that Taoist friend Mingzhu, he is currently being held in the deepest level of Qishan Prison. You only need to hold my token. The Arctic Cold Palace monks in the mountain prison will cooperate with your actions."
