Chapter 335 Purple Cloud Flower

Qingxiao Peak, Xuanming Temple.

The ancient Taoist temple is full of traces of the vicissitudes of time.

Gao Xian had been to Xuanming Temple once, and last time he only felt that the Taoist temple was ancient and quiet.

This time when he came again, he found that the Taoist temple was filled with a deep and unfathomable atmosphere, which made him feel unfathomable and even awed.

The small Taoist temple seems to be the real center and master of the Qingyun Mountains.

Gao Xian sighed in his heart, this Taoist temple is indeed extraordinary. Last time, his cultivation was too low and he could not perceive the wonders here.

In fact, it is easy to know that Yun Zai Tiantang Yuanying Zhenjun, whether for the sake of cultivation or safety, would not choose a place to live permanently.

After a few years, I met Yuanying Zhenjun Yun Zai Tian again, and he had not changed at all.

His azure Taoist robes were simple, his expression was peaceful, his eyes were bright and gentle, and he sat cross-legged on a cushion, naturally exuding a tranquil and spiritual aura.

The clouds in the sky were close at hand, but gave Gao Xian a feeling of being untouchable and unfathomable, as if the distance between them was infinitely far.

Gao Xian felt a chill in his heart. This only meant that his spiritual consciousness was unable to truly lock onto Yun Zai Tian, ​​and his keen six senses were also confused by the other party's aura. This was why he was unable to determine the other party's true location.

Although his first-grade golden elixir was miraculous, he was completely suppressed when he met Yuanying Zhenjun.

This elusive feeling only lasted for a moment, and then everything returned to normal.

Gao Xian knew that Yun Zai Tian did this on purpose to give him a small and kind reminder of how big the gap is between the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul.

Gao Xian immediately understood Yun Zai Tian’s meaning, and he bowed respectfully and greeted him.

Indeed, he must have felt a little proud after achieving the first-grade golden elixir, and he was also a little more curious about Yuanying Zhenjun.

After a brief try today, Gao Xian immediately realized that even a first-grade golden elixir could not reach the level of a Nascent Soul. The gap between the two realms is very, very large.

For the time being, there is no need to consider Yuanying Zhenjun. Such strong men are the pillars of the sect and it is impossible to send them out easily.

When Yuanying Zhenjun goes out, it is equivalent to the emperor leading the army in person.

Winning is normal, but if something unexpected happens, it will cause unimaginable huge impact. Even the entire sect will collapse.

Yun Zaitian looked at Gao Xian meaningfully, and smiled, "At first I thought you had extraordinary talent, but I didn't expect you to be able to form a top-grade golden elixir so quickly."

The old man looked thoughtful, "In the thousands of years of history of the sect, alas..."

Yun Zai Tian sighed before he finished speaking, and then he praised: "You are truly a peerless talent. The future of the sect really depends on you."

Gao Xian quickly became humble. Although he was confident, he did not dare to show off in front of Yuanying Zhenjun.

"You don't need to be modest. The East Wasteland is undergoing a huge change, and chaos is imminent. You must work together to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the sect."

Yun Zai Tian was talking to Yun Qingxuan and Gao Xian. Yun Qingxuan also understood, and she nodded and responded softly.

"I have received great kindness from the sect, so it is my duty to help the sect."

Gao Xian is better at speaking than Yun Qingxuan. In front of the leader, he doesn't say whether he will do something or not, but he has to show his attitude.

Yun Zai Tian nodded with satisfaction. Even though Gao Xian's performance was a bit exaggerated, he was also somewhat sincere.

Judging from how this person behaves, he still has a bottom line and knows how to be grateful and repay kindness. That's enough.

It is unrealistic to expect others to risk their lives for you.

He said: "According to the sect's rules, after achieving the Golden Elixir, you can enter the Xuanming Hall to choose a spiritual tool or spiritual object."

"Thank you, Master." Gao Xian showed his delight. Being able to get something for free always makes people happy and joyful, even if they don't get anything good.

Yun Zai Tian added: "The spiritual tools and objects in Xuanming Palace are either incomplete or of unknown origin. It all depends on your luck. You can also choose spiritual tools in the sect's inner storehouse, but you need to exchange them with good deeds."

The sect treats Jindan Zhenren very generously, but it is impossible to give a third-level spiritual weapon for free.

Gao Xian nodded to show that he understood. The ninth-grade five-colored lotus owed 10 million good deeds, plus the elixir and spiritual tools used to form the elixir, another million good deeds were spent.

Adding the expenses for buying foundation-building pills and other miscellaneous expenses, he now owes the sect 12 million merits.

Even if he was a Jindan Zhenren, he would have to work for one or two hundred years to pay it off. If there was no special spiritual weapon, he would not take it.

"There is something I need to tell you in advance."

After Yun Zai Tian finished talking about the benefits, he changed the subject and talked about business.

"In another twenty years, the entrance to the Purple Cloud Valley will be opened again. According to the rules, all thirty-six sects in Wanfeng County will send five golden elixirs to pick purple cloud flowers for Wanfeng Sect...

"Each sect must provide ten purple cloud flowers. If one is missing, a top-grade spirit stone will be required."

Gao Xian was suddenly shocked. He had been in Qingyun Sect for such a long time and had never seen top-grade spirit stones, but he had heard of them.

It is said that the best spiritual stone is golden, and one best spiritual stone is worth 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to 100 million low-grade spiritual stones.

For a large sect like Qingyun Sect, it should be no problem for them to take out a few hundred top-grade spirit stones.

Calculated this way, the penalty was not too exaggerated. So even if I didn't get a single Purple Cloud Flower, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Yun Zaitian seemed to understand Gao Xian's idea. He smiled and said, "This punishment is multiplied continuously. If you don't get a purple cloud flower, you have to pay 512 top-grade spirit stones..."

Gao Xian was shocked. This fine was quite exaggerated. Even if Qingyun Sect could afford so many spirit stones, it would be difficult for them to bear such a huge loss.

If a sect wants to get going, the first thing it needs is people, and the second is money.

Without money, even if the sect has a Yuanying Zhenjun, it will not be able to function normally.

Such a severe punishment system is obviously intended to prevent the parties from working without putting in effort.

This shows how much importance Wanfeng Sect attaches to Purple Cloud Flower.

In addition, with all thirty-six sects gathered in one place and the Purple Cloud Flower being so precious, fighting was bound to be unavoidable.

Furthermore, they could take the opportunity to attack the enemy sect. If successful, it would be enough to cause great damage to the enemy sect.

Therefore, Ziyun Valley is extremely dangerous...

When Gao Xian thought of this, his expression became more serious.

Yun Zai Tian said leisurely: "Ziyun Valley said that fighting is not allowed, but there is no supervision, and it is impossible to stop the various sects from killing.

"In my opinion, this is also the original intention of the Dao Lord Huashen. He governs by inaction and does not care about the affairs of the various sects, but that does not mean that he has no thoughts about the various sects.

"Purple Cloud Valley is taking this opportunity to test the abilities of each sect. Needless to say, the weak ones should be eliminated. This is also the Dao Lord's policy of ruling by doing nothing..."

Gao Xian didn't know whether Yun Zai Tian was praising him or mocking him, it seemed like it was both.

Damn, this Taoist master of transformation also believes in wolf-like corporate culture! Gao Xian didn't know how to complain.

Facing Yuanying Zhenjun's gaze, what could Gao Xian say? He could only say solemnly: "Disciple will do his best to live up to the trust of the ancestor."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Yun Zai Tian nodded with satisfaction, and he continued: "The Purple Cloud Valley group will be led by you and Qing Xuan. You must be well prepared. If something goes wrong this time, the sect cannot afford it..."

In the past, they could barely afford more than 500 top-grade spirit stones. But now that the Eastern Wilds had undergone a huge change, the sect had to accumulate strength to prepare for the situation, and they simply couldn't afford so many spirit stones.

For this reason, Yun Zai Tian had to send Gao Xian and Yun Qingxuan out to ensure that they got ten purple cloud flowers.

He didn't bring Yun Qiu Shui with him because as a swordsman, he only knew how to fight.

The environment of Ziyun Valley is complex and dangerous. Yun Qiu Shui might die in Ziyun Valley before encountering any enemies.

Yun Zai Tian did not tell Gao Xianming all this. As a Yuanying Zhenjun, he did not need to give so many reasons when asking Gao Xianming to do something.

Besides, Yun Qingxuan had already gone. What else could Gao Xian be dissatisfied with?

After making everything clear, Yun Zai Tian stretched out his hand and pointed, and a passage made of golden light appeared under the statue of Xuanming Tianzun.

He said to Gao Xian, "Go ahead, but don't stay in there too long."

Gao Xian bowed and saluted, then floated into the golden light passage.

In the flash of light, Gao Xian had arrived at an ancient hall, exactly the same as the Xuanming Temple outside.

It looks like a mirror image of Xuanming Temple, or it looks like Xuanming Temple was built based on this hall.

The difference is that there are several long altars in the main hall here, on which are placed more than a hundred various spiritual tools and objects.

Most of them have a clear spiritual light and exude a mysterious aura.

Gao Xian was not in a hurry. The time Yun Zai Tian mentioned should not be too long, at least one day.

There are so many spiritual objects and tools, you have to choose one.

The spiritual weapons and objects that can be placed here are at least at the third level, and perhaps there are also fourth levels.

However, these spiritual weapons and objects were obtained by chance by the sect’s predecessors. They have no system, no inheritance, no corresponding secret methods, or have various problems.

In short, it is placed here because it cannot be combined with the sect's secret practice methods but has extremely high value.

White jade gourd, black bone flute, golden skull, strange four-winged red snake and so on.

Among the many strangely shaped spiritual weapons and objects, Gao Xian suddenly saw a three-inch-long vajra. The five-pronged golden vajra was inlaid with many tiny gems and looked very gorgeous. It should be an ornament worn by a high monk.

He reached out and picked up the vajra. The small object weighed more than ten pounds and was extremely heavy in his hand.

There is a faint spiritual energy flowing inside the vajra, but it is extremely obscure.

Gao Xian was not sure what it was for, but he thought it should be useful. He was about to leave with the vajra, but he saw a blue lotus on one corner.

The nine petals of this blue lotus were closed together, forming a bud-like shape. It was somewhat similar to the Blue Lotus Sword Order he had obtained, but also very different.

Gao Xian reached out and picked up the green lotus, which was heavy and must have been made of some kind of gold or iron.

In terms of quality, the blue lotus is slightly inferior to the vajra. However, this thing is obviously related to the Qinghua Sect.

The secret method of the Great Vajra Pestle comes from the Dragon Elephant Palace, and he can add some more. If you really need it, you can go to the Dragon Elephant Palace.

The blue lotus is gone if you miss it. It is related to the Qinghua Sect and even the Dongji Qinghua Divine Rainbow Sword. It cannot be missed.

Gao Xian made up his mind and picked up the green lotus and entered the golden passage.

In a flash of light, Gao Xian had returned to Xuanming Temple. At this time, Yun Qingxuan had already left, leaving the old man Yun Zaitian alone.

Yun Zaitian glanced at the green lotus in Gao Xian's hand and nodded slightly: "A thousand years ago, a master of the sect got this thing from the Iron Ape Mountain in the East Wasteland. It seems to have the same origin as your sword..."

Gao Xian was moved when he heard that it was something obtained from the Eastern Wasteland. He bowed and said, "Grandmaster, this thing is destined to be with me, so I chose it."

"Um."

Yun Zai Tian nodded slightly. It was up to Gao Xian to choose what to do and he would not interfere.

Gao Xian put away the blue lotus. Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, isn't Yingying here? I haven't seen her for a long time..."

Yun Zai Tian smiled and said, "Yingying has gone to practice elsewhere. This child has a bright future."

He paused and said, "Don't think that you are a first-grade golden elixir. Your aptitude is far inferior to Yingying's..."

Gao Xian was somewhat stunned. Zundujidu (is this true or not?), is it really that exaggerated?! (End of this chapter)
