But now that he was in her hands, couldn't she do whatever she wanted? Zhang Xie couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
He was a leader among the younger generation in Shuiyue Sect, and he was always respectfully addressed as "senior brother" wherever he went. But when he got outside, he was constrained everywhere. He really should have stayed in the secret realm to practice.
Zhang Xie took a deep breath and said, "I will go and collect the spirit stones right away. I hope Fellow Daoist Shen can keep his word."
"Of course, but Fellow Daoist Zhang, you have to hurry up, as you only have three days."
Shen Yizhi felt that he was like a villain in a novel when he said this, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Xie left the Shen family and returned to the inn. He closed the door, brought the basin of water from the shelf to the table, and began to perform their Shuiyue Sect's secret technique - Shuiyue Mirror Technique - on the water in the basin.
This is a spell created by the founder of their Shuiyue Sect. It can be cast anywhere there is water. After the spell is successfully cast, the water surface will turn into a water mirror, and the caster can communicate with people far away.
This spell is easiest to cast by people with water spiritual roots. Not only the Water Moon Mirror Technique, most of the Water Moon Sect's skills and spells are related to water.
Most water spirit roots are possessed by women, so Shuiyue Sect has become a sect with more women than men. Although it is better now, men are still not as fast as women in learning water-related magic.
At this moment, Zhang Xie was sweating profusely when he performed the Water Moon Mirror Technique, but at least he succeeded.
The figure of his master Deng Tong appeared in the basin.
“Master!”
"Ah Xie, have Ning'er and the others been rescued?"
Zhang Xie shook his head, "I feel ashamed of my master's trust and failed to rescue my two junior sisters."
Deng Tong's expression changed slightly: "What happened? Please tell me in detail."
Zhang Xie naturally wouldn't tell anyone about his wandering around after arriving in Moqing City. He only said that he went around looking for information after arriving, and finally found the place where his two junior sisters were imprisoned, but -
"That Shen Yizhi refused to let go of the two junior sisters easily. He asked me to redeem them with spirit stones, 300,000 spirit stones per person."
Deng Tong: "She's really asking for too much! Didn't you tell her that you're from the Shuiyue Sect?"
Zhang Xie: "Of course I said it, but Shen Yizhi didn't take our Shuiyue Sect seriously at all. Master, I suspect she has some kind of rare treasure!"
Deng Tong's eyes flashed, "Oh? How do you know?"
Zhang Xie then told about the various strange things in Moqing City. "At first I thought that the spiritual energy in the outside world had revived, so there was nothing strange about Moqing City. But later I found out that other places were no different from what the brothers and sisters had found ten years ago. So, the trick must be Shen Yizhi! "The city defense formation of Moqing City, the spiritual stones in her hands, and the large areas of spiritual medicines and plants planted in the city... These are not things that ordinary people can have."
Deng Tong: "Even if it's not a rare treasure, it's possible that she discovered a secret place with rich resources. If she can get it..."
The master and the disciple looked at each other, their eyes filled with thriving ambition.
"You continue to stay in Moqing City, I will come over soon."
"Okay, Master, I'll wait for you."
Shen family.
After Zhang Xie left, Shen Yizhi took out the photo stone that had been recording the conversation in the house, played it again, and smiled.
She brought the photo stone to the fairy vine and showed the contents of the photo stone to Kong Shuning and Luo Jun.
Even Kong Shuning couldn't help but take a breath when he heard the number of 300,000 spirit stones: "Are you crazy about spirit stones?"
Shen Yizhi smiled and said, "Is 300,000 spirit stones a lot? I thought your Shuiyue Sect was very wealthy, can't you even come up with 600,000 spirit stones?"
"You!" Kong Shuning was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. "Humph, my parents have always loved me, how could they not be able to take it out? Then you can just wait and let me go."
She looked at Shen Yizi, already thinking about how she would take revenge on her when she got out.
Shen Yizhi looked at the malice that was about to overflow from her eyes and smiled slightly. Letting Luo Jun go was still possible, but Kong Shuning? She had no chance of leaving here alive.
She would not leave behind such a troublesome person who regarded human life as insignificant and acted lawless.
On the other side, Luo Jun looked a little gloomy.
She doesn't think she is worth three hundred thousand spirit stones.
"Really? How about I make a bet with you? If your senior brother can raise 600,000 spirit stones to redeem you within three days, I will let you go. If he only redeems one of you, then neither of you can leave."
Kong Shuning's eyes widened: "You, you don't keep your word! You said 300,000 spirit stones per person!"
She knew very well that the senior brother would most likely not spend 300,000 spirit stones on Luo Jun.
Luo Jun lowered his eyes with a calm expression.
"Besides, I won't bet with you!"
Shen Yizhi: "This is not up to you."
The next day.
Deng Tong came out of the Yaochi secret realm and came to Moqing City according to Zhang Xie's guidance.
As soon as he entered the city, he felt that the spiritual energy here was much richer than other places. Perhaps ordinary people just felt that life here was particularly comfortable and did not know why.
Only a cultivator can understand the ins and outs here.
Deng Tong looked at those ignorant mortals and sneered in his heart. These mortals were really lucky.
He met Zhang Xie at the inn. The master and disciple entered the room and set up a soundproof barrier.
"Master, what are your plans?" Zhang Xie poured Deng Tong a cup of spiritual tea.
Deng Tong originally didn't want to drink the water from the outside world, but when he smelled the spiritual fragrance of tea, he picked it up and took a sip, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Master, you should believe me now, right? Any inn in this city sells excellent spiritual tea. I don't know how many good things Shen Yizi has in his hands."
Thinking of the large amount of treasures in Shen Yizhi's hands, Zhang Xie's heart was burning with excitement.
Deng Tong put down the teacup and said, "After I came here, my cultivation was suppressed, but my consciousness still retained the foundation-building stage. Shen Yizi is from the outside world, and his cultivation is at most the perfect Qi Refining stage, which will not exceed the foundation-building stage."
Zhang Xie's eyes lit up: "Master, you mean--"
Deng Tong coughed lightly and said, "Take me for a walk."
The master and disciple then wandered around the city. Deng Tong was becoming more and more surprised. When he saw the Taoist bell and the Heavenly Mirror in front of Mingyue Villa, his surprise turned into shock.
"Master, these are the two spiritual weapons I told you about."
