Upon hearing that Yun Zhen actually asked Xingxiu to go back, Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment, then calmed down his expression.

Yuan Xi is in the hands of the so-called Brother Lei Ying, so the plan is at risk. Besides, it is reasonable to thank him for saving Junior Sister Yuan Xi.

In addition, without contact, there is no way to know what Lei Ying’s purpose is.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Brother Lei Ying is really a chivalrous cultivator, but all this requires further contact to judge.

Yun Zhen narrowed his eyes. He had been practicing for five thousand years and had seen too many cultivators. He had experienced countless intrigues and deceptions.

Since something went wrong with the plan, we have to start planning again.

The reason why he asked Xingxiu to contact Lei Ying was to prepare for the worst possibility. After all, to put it another way, Xingxiu and Yuanxi were in other people's hands.

The fact that Xingxiu can come out to contact us may not be caused by Lei Ying.

…

Inside the cave.

Shen Lian's figure passed through the dense spiritual restrictions like flowing water and merged back into the body of the merit clone.

When Xingxiu left, he followed quietly.

Since he decided to use the Tianyuan Sect to open up a new path for the development of the Butian Sect, there was no way he would let the Xingxiu Cantian Plate escape from his control.

He originally thought that he could pretend to be the thief crying "stop thief", but he didn't expect that the Star Spirit would come back again, which saved him the trouble.

As for Yuan Xi, after being enveloped by the elixir, he fell into coma again and had no idea what was happening outside.

It would be great if the Star Spirit came back, so I wouldn't have to do anything shady in secret.

“Buzz!”

The spiritual ban was reopened, and the Starry Sky Plate flew in again.

The incarnation of merit, who was sitting cross-legged in a state of cultivation, slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the towering starry sky.

"Daoyou, why are you back again?"

As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Xi who was resting quietly on the side.

Similarly, the spirit of the Cantian Pan weapon also looked at Yuan Xi after coming in.

Seeing the strong medicinal power covering Yuan Xi's remaining infant, his whole mind was focused on the elixir repairing it, and he slowly withdrew his gaze.

It was really afraid that Yuan Xi’s soul would be searched after it left.

But if I didn't leave at that time, there was no way I could send a message to the sect.

Seeing that Yuan Xi was in good condition, Xing Xiu Can Tian Pan did not feel embarrassed at all. Its skin had become thick over the past 20,000 years.

"Did you really meet a good person?"

After muttering to himself for a while, the Star Spirit looked at the Merit Clone.

"Fellow Daoist, I just received a message from the sect when I went out.

The head monk of my sect knew that you saved me and my junior nephew Yuan Xi, so he specially asked me to come back. He wanted to personally express his gratitude to you. "

The Merit Clone did not care about the words of the spirit of the weapon. If one wants to build trust with others, one needs to test them again and again.

I don’t know how many times the Star Spirit has tried it from front to back.

I just happened to receive the message from the sect. What a coincidence.

As long as he has no intention of harming anyone, he will naturally not be afraid of the repeated tests of the Star Spirit.

On the contrary, I felt that the repeated tests by the spirit of the weapon were so clumsy and amusing.

"Your sect doesn't need to do this. When cultivators of my generation encounter injustice, we should lend a helping hand. We, the cultivators of the Butian Sect, take it as our duty to pacify the world and protect the orthodoxy, and we will not stand idly by. Not to mention, fellow Daoist Yuan Xi and I have met once because of our mutual efforts in fighting demons and defending the orthodoxy."

The Merit Clone spoke, and mixed some personal opinions about the Butian Sect into his words. It seems that the Tianyuan Sect is definitely eager to find out what the Butian Sect is doing.

To pacify the world and protect the orthodoxy, these eight words are very broad. Saving you, a spirit of an artifact and a disabled baby, is not a matter of course.

A communication jade talisman flew out from the Xingxiu spirit, and an old voice was heard.

"I am Yun Zhen, the chief cultivator of the Tianyuan Sect. Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."

Shouxiu is the title of the strongest cultivator in a sect. The leader of a sect may be Shouxiu, but Shouxiu may not be the leader. His role is to suppress the mountain gate.

The chief cultivator of Tianyuan Sect is naturally different from the late Nascent Soul cultivator rumored outside. He is a real Nascent Soul cultivator who has reached the great perfection, and practices the dual attributes of water and gold.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Zhen, there is no need to be so polite. I have said before that my Butian Sect practices the great way of heaven and earth, and walks the path of overcoming adversities and eliminating resentment. Although fellow Daoist Yuan Xi is a female cultivator, she is as good as male cultivators like us in exorcising demons and defending the Way. If you happen to encounter a demon cultivator chasing you, how can we just ignore it?"

After hearing what the Merit Avatar said, the Xingxiu Spirit still felt that it was a little unreal. Just like this...

Did you save them because you saw Yuan Xi chasing and killing the demon cultivators?

It sounds like playing.

Ask the young cultivators who have just started practicing Qi outside if they believe it. "Your sect practices the Way of Merit and Virtue?"

After a moment, Yun Zhen's words were heard again in the jade talisman.

However, the clone of merit just smiled and did not answer.

"It's this old man Meng Lang."

Yun Zhen's words rang out again, "Junior Brother Xingxiu, bring the Three Treasures of Tianluo here."

After a flash of starlight appeared on the Xingxiu Spirit's body, the Three Treasures of Tianluo appeared in front of him again.

It had used this as a thank-you gift to test the Merit Clone before, so why did Yun Zhen want to take it out now?

This is one of the treasures that support the plan.

If you try again, what will you do if they accept it?

"Fellow Daoist, this spiritual object is my thank you gift."

The Three Treasures of Tianluo flew close to the Merit Clone again.

Nothing could be seen from the communication jade talisman. The Merit Clone looked at the Star Spirit. The warm smile on his face made the Spirit look sideways.

"The Three Heavenly Treasures are the treasures needed for the Nascent Soul to advance to the Divine Transformation stage. For a Nascent Soul cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection stage, they are more attractive than some fifth-level spiritual objects. Using such treasures to let a disabled infant wander around, it seems that your sect is really rich in resources."

He took the Three Treasures of Tianluo into his hand and looked at them carefully.

The moment the three kinds of spiritual light came into contact with the palm, that spirituality had already merged with the aura of the body, and even the Nascent Soul in the body became more spiritual.

Having said that, Shen Lian understood that if the cultivators of Tianyuan Sect believed it, they would not have caused so many troubles.

If it were him, he would also be doubtful and suspicious.

What Yun Zhen did was actually very simple. Now the person is in other people’s hands, not to mention the Three Treasures of Tianluo.

Not only might the three Tianluo treasures be gone, but also the sect's inherited spiritual treasures and a Nascent Soul nephew might be lost.

Although the Star Spirit had said before that it had taken out the Three Tianluo Treasures to test it, the human mind is unpredictable.

Of course, the main reason is this damn world, with disasters coming from the sky and all the cultivators deceiving each other. They have long lost their former immortal spirit.

When the time comes to cut off one's own arm, it must be cut off.

Playing with the Tianluo Three Treasures in his hand, the Merit Clone spoke again: "I am not interested in what your sect does. It was also accidental that I saved Fellow Daoist Yuan Xi."

He was a little annoyed after being tempted so many times. It was all because of the way this world is.

“A fourth-rank, top-grade spiritual object is worth more than eight million Bu Tian points in my Bu Tian Sect, not to mention this spiritual treasure related to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, which is worth as much as twelve million Bu Tian points on the Bu Tian List.

This is far more valuable than the fourth-grade high-quality spiritual treasures, elixirs, and formations. Daoist Yun Zhen is really generous in giving this as a thank-you gift."

"I travel around the world as a angel of the Bu Tian Sect, and it has been a long time since I met a cultivator as generous as Fellow Daoist Yun."

Having said that, the Merit Clone paused for a moment and looked at the jade talisman hanging in the air.

"I am quite fascinated by you, fellow Taoist. Can we meet in person?"

"There really is a purpose." The Star Spirit on the side looked up at the Merit Clone, but then lowered his head.

"I am also fascinated by you, fellow Taoist. How about we meet at the Void Island outside the mainland?"

…

"Master, do you really want to meet this person?"

In the outer void, Yuan Tiangang frowned. It was just a brief exchange and they had no idea of ​​the purpose and whereabouts of this cultivator.

"Xingxiu and Yuanxi are still in this person's hands."

Yun Zhen rubbed his brows and took out the three Tianluo treasures again, just to see if he could make Xingxiu and Yuanxi leave.

He didn't expect that this cultivator would actually invite him to a gathering.

It was actually directed at him.

…

"Fellow Daoist Lei Ying, what exactly are you thinking?"

The Xingxiu spirit blocked Yuan Xi behind him and stared at the Merit clone with a somewhat cold look.

The Merit Clone was playing with the Three Treasures of Tianluo, neither saying that he would return them to the Star Spirit nor showing any intention of putting them away.

"My Butian Sect travels around the world, aiming to gather like-minded Taoist friends. Why do you have to be so suspicious, Taoist Xingxiu?"

The Xingxiu Spirit radiated starlight all over its body, and it looked at the spiritual restrictions around it. After thinking it over again and again, it still felt that it could not break out.

The Merit Clone stopped talking as there was no point in saying more at this moment. The Five Elements Ship rolled up with spiritual light and rushed towards the outer continent.

There are too many intrigues in the world of cultivating immortals. Meeting a sincere young male cultivator like him is like a wild boar that is used to eating wild grass and can no longer eat fine bran.

…

The eastern part of Tiannan Continent.

The floating rubble formed a sea of ​​rocks, and among some of the rocks you could see lakes of water with fish swimming in them.

There was a small suspended island of a hundred miles in size, with lush vegetation and a stone platform. Yun Zhen squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

A colorful stream of light came from afar, and after it fell, it flashed with green light and turned into an incarnation of merit.

As for the Xingxiu Spirit and Yuan Xi, neither of them showed up. In addition, Shen Lian's real body was also wandering thousands of miles away, ready to provide support at any time.

"Daoist Lei Ying."

Yun Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at the Merit Clone, and carefully sensed the area between his eyebrows.

However, the dim green light affected his vision, and he felt as if it was something real and it was not, which was really confusing.

The more this is the case, the more suspicious it becomes.

After just two glances, Yun Zhen had an idea in his mind. It turned out that he had cultivated merits. There were relevant records in the classics passed down by Tianyuan Sect.

This made him feel a little relieved. According to historical records, monks who practiced virtue were very careful about their reputation.

Most of those they hunted were monks who had committed heinous crimes. It was rare for them to kill monks from righteous sects without reason, for fear of being contaminated by karma.

If this is the case, then the words we had in the previous conversation did have some sincerity.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Zhen, I am well."

The clone of merit slowly fell down. Yun Zhen arrived early and placed a tea tray on the stone table.

"I have been observing the Tianyuan Sect for a long time."

After sitting down, the Merit Clone did not hide his words and looked at Yun Zhen and spoke.

After hearing this, Yun Zhen didn't change at all.

"Oh, fellow Taoist, what do you think of my Tianyuan Sect?"

Merit clone did not answer directly, "The killing calamity is coming, Tiannan is about to be drenched in blood, how does Tianyuan Sect feel about being in the front?"

Yun Zhen instead poured another cup of tea for his clone, and his old, turbid eyes opened and closed, revealing a gleam of brilliance.

"Daoyou, are you here to help me, Tianyuan?"

Hearing the voice, the Merit Clone raised his eyebrows.

Hey, how come this old guy is so accurate in judging people?

He went to so much trouble just to build a bridge of mutual trust with the Tianyuan Sect, otherwise he would not be able to carry out subsequent plans.

Building a bridge of trust is a process of mutual testing. From Xingxiu Spirit to Yun Zhen, each spirit has tested each other several times.

At this moment, Yun Zhen personally saw the clone of merit and sensed the mysterious aura of merit. Although he was still on guard in his heart, it was much lower than before.

In addition, didn’t the Merit Clone say before that he wanted to pacify the world and find like-minded Taoist friends? That’s why he said what he just said.

After the Merit Clone took a sip of tea, he also made a judgment about Yun Zhen.

For a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, what is the most important thing to do next?

Naturally, it is preparation to advance to the Divine Transformation Realm.

In addition, the Tianyuan Sect also has the Three Treasures of Tianluo, which are the best spiritual objects to assist in the advancement to the God Transformation stage.

Yun Zhen, a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, did not refine the Three Treasures of Tianluo. Instead, he allowed a junior cultivator and a spirit of the sect to parade this magic treasure around in public, and he himself fled to the outer space.

Well, there is only one truth.

This old guy wants to take over someone else's body!

Why did I come to the outside world? It’s because I wanted to avoid the prying eyes of others, avoid thunder and lightning, and quietly overcome the tribulation.

As for whether your guess is correct or not, you will know after trying it.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Zhen practices the art of divination, and his predictions are so accurate."

The Merit Clone laughed and continued, "My Heaven-Repairing Sect wants to save the world, but the world is sinking too deeply, so we can only do some repair work.

Tiannan and several nearby immortal cultivation realms have become prey to the evildoers. Only a few sects like Tianyuan have retained their backbone, and I have great respect for them.

Previously, my fellow Taoist rewarded me with the Three Treasures of Tianluo. I just accidentally saved two fellow Taoists from the Tianyuan Sect. If I accepted such a precious treasure, wouldn’t people say that I was too greedy?

I have said before that according to the exchange rules of my Butian Sect, the Three Tianluo Treasures are worth more than 12 million Butian Points. This thank-you gift is too heavy and I would feel uneasy if I accepted it.

Therefore, how about I give you a fourth-grade superior formation, the Star Prisoner Heaven Formation?

This formation can draw in the power of the stars, gathering the stars in the sky into a protective light shield that makes the sky round and the earth square. If there is a suitable core magic treasure to suppress the formation, it can support the attack power of an ordinary god.

As for how long it can last, it depends on the quality of the spiritual treasure that suppresses the formation."

As he spoke, the Merit Clone watched the changes in Yun Zhen's expression. Sure enough, his wrinkled face changed after he heard about the Star Prisoner Heaven Formation.

Although he quickly regained his composure, it was impossible to conceal the fact at such a close distance.

The Star Prisoner Heaven Formation was not something that Merit's Avatar said casually, but was something Shen Lian thought of based on his circumstances, and it just happened to match the Star Prisoner Heaven Plate.

This formation can be used as a mountain protection formation, and can also be used as an external defense formation when overcoming tribulations.

Tianyuan Sect has been passed down for so many years, so naturally the mountain gate has a fourth-grade top-grade mountain protection formation. However, it is built based on the earth veins and cannot be moved.

As for why he gave her the formation, Shen Lian couldn't produce any other elixirs or talismans.

He can smelt the ore himself, but he cannot cultivate medicinal herbs in a short period of time.

It’s a very simple truth: if you want to get something, you must give it first.

This time, Master Shen’s main theme is sincerity.

If you don't believe it, it's okay. I'll first build you a fourth-grade superior formation and let you see the strength of the Butian Sect.

Today's update, I have to go out in the afternoon.
