Tang Xuan was also surprised.

Actually, he never intended to kill Shi Tianhui.

With so many powerful members of the Stone Clan watching, they couldn't kill him even if they wanted to.

But who would have thought that Shi Tianqiong would actually take out such a top-tier treasure?

The Immortal Phoenix Ancient Palace.

With this top-tier base, the Tang family is bound to take off!

What is most important in the world of martial arts?

Law, companion, wealth, land.

The so-called "method" refers to martial arts techniques and skills. Without powerful martial arts techniques and skills, a top-tier sect absolutely cannot be supported.

The Tang family is not lacking in martial arts techniques and skills now.

Although there are no top-tier martial arts techniques to rely on, there are plenty of second-tier ones.

The harvested by Tang Xuan, purchased from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, underwent a series of ten-thousand-fold amplifications, making its power enough to rival any force.

"Lü" refers to a Daoist companion, which is a woman.

Tang Xuan doesn't need it.

If one has no woman in their heart, then drawing their sword will naturally make them a god.

Wealth is a resource, and the Tang family has no shortage of it.

Even if he lacks the funds, Tang Xuan can still launder money through legal means at the Heaven and Earth Pavilion.

What does the Tang family lack most right now?

Isn't that a top-tier paradise?

What the Tang family occupies now is merely a very low-level Tianshan Mountain.

Looking at the whole world, they don't even rank among the top.

Even with a ten-thousand-fold increase, it still wouldn't meet the standard.

But the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Palace is different.

This is the most legendary blessed land, where one can freely absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even the chaotic energy.

It's like having unlimited spiritual energy veins by yourself.

Legend has it that there is also a grotto-heaven within, where one can easily cultivate artistic conception, as well as countless rare and precious materials.

The most terrifying thing is that the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Palace is movable.

It can even travel through the void.

What does this mean?

In other words, even if the Tang family is exposed in the future and is hunted down by the six Heavenly Clans.

Tang Xuan could also drive the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Palace away.

This is practically a treasure tailor-made for him.

How could I not be tempted?

Tang Xuan's eyes turned green with envy.

He looked at the key in Shi Tianqiong's hand, wishing he could just snatch it away.

But he couldn't make it too obvious.

Otherwise, it will easily arouse suspicion.

"Actually, I have no intention of making things difficult for the Stone Clan, it's just that some people have said some really nasty things!"

Tang Xuanfei kicked Shi Tianhui, sending him flying to Shi Tianqiong's feet.

"Guards, take this guy away! He's all talk and no action!"

Shi Tianqiong said with a cold face.

He was absolutely furious with Shi Tianhui.

He was heartbroken at losing a key to the Immortal Phoenix Palace for nothing.

However, in order to win over Tang Xuan, they had no choice but to make the painful sacrifice.

"I'm relieved that you understand!"

Shi Tianqiong handed the key to the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Palace to Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan accepted it without hesitation.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shi Tianqiong would absolutely not dare to give out counterfeit goods.

Otherwise, the Stone Clan's reputation would truly be ruined.

"Hmph, don't do it again! Otherwise, I won't be so polite!"

Tang Xuan snorted coldly.

The facade needs to be set properly.

Shi Tianqiong smiled wryly, then said, "Since you have calmed down, why don't you sit down and have a chat? I, Shi Tianqiong, love making friends the most, and we still need your help in the battle to slay the demons!"

Tang Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright!"

Shi Tianqiong clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"I apologize for making the Stone Clan a laughing stock of you all. To express my remorse, each of you will receive three thousand low-grade Heavenly Crystals and one Heavenly-grade treasure! I hope you will not have any bad impression of the Stone Clan!"

Since Tang Xuan didn't care and had already received benefits, the surrounding martial artists naturally wouldn't bother with anything.

After all, the fault lies solely with Shi Tianhui, and has nothing to do with Shi Tianqiong.

Shi Tianqiong's handling of the situation demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism.

So no one said anything more.

He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to serve it; he who eats another's food is obligated to pay his bills

Despite the fierce arguments, very few people actually want to break ties with the Stone Clan.

That's the Heavenly Dao Stone Clan, a top-tier family.

It's something that could kill someone hundreds of times over, even with just a single hair.

...

In a quiet little courtyard.

A jar of fragrant wine, and a full eighteen dishes.

Tang Xuan, Shi Tianqiong, and Cang Jingyun sat in a triangular formation.

"Brother Tang, consider this drink my apology on behalf of Shi Tianhui. He was so inconsiderate!"

Shi Tianqiong raised a glass of wine.

"This wine is Qingquan Mingxiang, one of the ten most famous wines in China. It is brewed with water from a place without roots and a hundred kinds of precious medicinal herbs. Only one hundred jars are produced each year, making it a rare and precious product!"

Tang Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and drank it all in one gulp.

In an instant, the sweet wine flowed through his body like a gentle stream, and Tang Xuan felt his internal injuries disappear and his soul power increase slightly.

"Good wine!"

Shi Tianqiong laughed and said, "If Brother Tang likes it, why not take a jar with you!"

Tang Xuan said, "That would be so embarrassing!"

He just said sorry, he didn't say he wouldn't bring it.

Shi Tianqiong smiled slightly.

Although it hurts a bit, it's still worth it to be able to win over a top-tier expert.

"Brother Tang, did you come to my Shi clan this time only for the Moral Martial Scripture?"

Tang Xuan's lips curled into a smile.

It's here!

A test?

He had been prepared for this for a long time.

"Of course, I have no interest in human grudges. My only hobby is practicing martial arts. The Tao Te Ching is incredibly powerful, and I was eager to learn it, so I came here!"

Shi Tianqiong laughed, "Brother Tang is truly a martial arts fanatic! It would be a shame for us cultivators not to fight powerful enemies!"
