Chapter 61, Cooperation Achieved

After advancing to the Jindan stage, Hua Changxi found that his body became lighter and lighter. He returned to the Medicine Valley from the hinterland of Nanshan Mountain in just a few minutes using the Lingbo Weibu technique.

Not long after returning to Medicine Valley, Guo Yu came looking for him.

"What, Seniors Zhuo Fan and Jiang Ye are leaving?"

"Well, the two seniors are busy. They know that the healing medicine you refine is effective, so they want to buy some from you."

"The healing medicine is easy to talk about. I still have something to discuss with a few seniors. I wonder if they are busy now. I will go find them right away."

Watching Hua Changxi rushing up the West Hill, Guo Yu followed slowly behind, sighing in his heart that age is always more experienced.

Ever since they guessed that Hua Changxi wanted to use the power of the Cao Gang, Weiyuan Escort Agency, and the Beggar Gang to obtain information, Master and others have been waiting for her to speak up.

Who would have thought that during this period of time, Hua Changxi had no intention of talking to his master and the others except for treating Senior Yang Chuan.

Senior Zhuo Fan was getting a little impatient, so he came up with this idea with his master and Senior Jiang, the purpose of which was to force Hua Changxi to speak up.

When Hua Changxi entered the cave, he saw Zhuo Fan and Jiang Ye saying goodbye to You Lao and Yang Chuan.

Zhuo Fan looked at Yang Chuan and said, "Yang Chuan, you should stay here with You Lin to recover from your injuries. When Jiang Ye and I are done with our work, we will come to see you."

Jiang Ye nodded in agreement: "It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Be more open-minded about everything. You still have us."

When You Lao saw Hua Changxi coming, he took the initiative to say, "Changxi, Zhuo Fan and Jiang Ye are leaving. They are both wandering around the world, and getting injured is commonplace. I want to buy some more healing medicine from you."

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "If Senior Zhuo and Senior Jiang need anything, I will satisfy them." As he said that, he walked towards Yang Chuan, who was able to walk, and felt his pulse.

"Senior Yang's injuries have fully recovered."

Yang Chuan forced a smile at Hua Changxi: "I owe my life to you, little girl."

Hua Changxi found a seat and sat down, shaking his head and smiling, "Although I contributed a little, I can't compare to the importance the three seniors place on Senior Yang."

Hearing this, Yang Chuan's expression was somewhat moved. He looked at the three You brothers with relief and gratitude. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed as if he had said everything.

The three You brothers didn't say anything, they just looked back at Yang Chuan with a smile.

Looking at the eye contact between the four people, Hua Changxi was somewhat touched. It was indeed a great blessing in life to have such close friends: "I have something I want to discuss with the four seniors."

You Lao and the other three exchanged a quick glance and smiled, "What's the matter?"

Hua Changxi looked at You Lao and said, "Senior, you led me to find the rift valley in the heart of Nanshan. What do you think of that place?"

You Lao was stunned. What Hua Changxi said was totally different from what they expected. "I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by 'how do I feel'?"

Hua Changxi took out a Fire Spirit Stone: "This stone is called Fire Spirit Stone. Do you know what it is used for?"

Old You looked at the other three people, and even though he had some guesses, he still shook his head.

Hua Changxi: "To practice martial arts, warriors need to take elixirs to stimulate their body's potential and cultivate internal strength and qi."

"When a cultivator practices, he needs to absorb the power of heaven and earth for his own use. The most basic power of heaven and earth is the power of the five elements. What are the five elements? The four seniors should know, right?"

Zhuo Fan snorted: "Everyone knows the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth."

Hua Changxi smiled, stood up and gave each of the four people, You Lao, a piece of Fire Spirit Stone. Seeing Guo Yu standing aside, he also gave him one: "This stone contains the power of fire among the five elements."

Upon hearing this, the complexion of the four You brothers changed and their breathing became a little rapid.

Before this, they only knew that cultivators had to absorb the power of heaven and earth for their own use, but they were confused about what the power of heaven and earth was. Now they finally knew.

Zhuo Fan looked at Hua Changxi with burning eyes: "Little girl, what do you want to say?"

Hua Changxi looked at You Lao again: "Senior, there is a Fire Spirit Mine below the rift valley."

You Lao still didn't quite understand what Hua Changxi was trying to say: "So what?"

Hua Changxi glared: "A Fire Spirit Mine, aren't you tempted?"

As soon as these words were spoken, You Lao, Zhuo Fan, Jiang Ye, Yang Chuan, and Guo Yu who was in the background, understood what Hua Changxi meant and looked at each other in bewilderment.

You Lao probed: "You want to..."

Hua Changxi: "The appearance of a spiritual fruit has caused you to fight desperately for it. Now what is in front of us is a fire spirit mine. Don't you want to take it for yourself?"

The eyelids of You Lao and others jumped at the same time. They knew that this girl was careless, but they didn't expect her to be so careless.

You Lao couldn't help but remind him: "The South Mountain Rift Valley is not far from the Medicine Valley."

What this means is that the imperial court is very likely to discover that place. Does Hua Changxi dare to compete with the imperial court for the Fire Spirit Mine?
Hua Changxi understood what You Lao meant: "Everything has a first come first served, and I believe that the situation in the Nanshan Rift Valley will definitely happen in other places. The court cannot and has no way to take all the benefits."

Old You looked at his three old friends, and Hua Changxi's purpose was clear. She probably wanted to cooperate with them and occupy the Fire Spirit Mine.

Fire Spirit Mine.
Knowing that these were the cultivation resources needed by cultivators, the four old men including You were all tempted.

Zhuo Fan and the other two exchanged glances and looked at Hua Changxi: "But we are not cultivators, the Fire Spirit Mine is useless to us."

Hua Changxi: "What if I can make you become monks?"

Zhuo Fan stood up with a bang. You Lao, Jiang Ye, Yang Chuan, and Guo Yu all held their breath.

"Are you really telling the truth?"

"You didn't lie to us, did you?"

"Can you really make us monks?"

Zhuo Fan stared at Hua Changxi closely, not missing any of her expressions.

Hua Changxi looked at You Lao and his companions who were anxious and nervous, and smiled: "I don't need to lie to you, but what can you give in exchange?"

The four You Lao immediately looked at each other.

After exchanging glances for a while, Zhuo Fan spoke up: "Little girl, don't keep me in suspense. Don't you just want to cooperate with us to occupy the Fire Spirit Mine? Tell me, how do you plan to cooperate?"

Hua Changxi: "I want 60% of the Fire Spirit Mine and the surrounding spiritual plants and fruits. I don't care how you divide the remaining 40%."

Zhuo Fan immediately yelled: "Little girl, you are too greedy!"

Hua Changxi interrupted him directly: "For a mortal to become a cultivator is a chance that defies heaven. Senior Zhuo, don't be so ungrateful."

Zhuo Fan jumped up and down: "We have to occupy the Fire Spirit Mine, garrison it on us, and mine it on us. If there are blind people who want to rob it, we have to drive them away. We have done so much, and you want to take 60%. Who is taking advantage of us?"

Hua Changxi said calmly, "Senior Zhuo, it's meaningless if you say that. If you can't do these things, why do you think I should cooperate with you? Because of your bad temper?"

Zhuo Fan choked and began to puff out his beard and glare.

Hua Changxi looked at the three You Lao and said, "You know clearly whether I have taken advantage of you or not. I think I am kind."

Zhuo Fan snorted angrily: "You are the only one who is honest? Little girl, you are thick-skinned. Do you think that if we want to become monks, only you can do it?"

Hua Changxi smiled at him and said, "Senior, you can go find other places, like the Sanqing Palace or Taisu Palace you mentioned before."

As he spoke, his smile faded.

"Senior, please think carefully. If you go to those places, the price you pay to become a monk will be even higher. You may even have to sell your body."

Zhuo Fan wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason, because he knew that what Hua Changxi said was true, and Sanqing Palace and Taisu Palace were not places they could just get close to.

If someone else with a little power discovered the Fire Spirit Mine today, no one would cooperate with them at all.

If they want to become monks, they can only sign a contract to sell themselves, guard the Fire Spirit Mine for free, and then get a little hard work fee every month.

Zhuo Fan looked at the three You Lao and signaled them with his eyes to go ahead. He couldn't fool this smart little girl.

You Lao and Jiang Ye looked helpless. Although Hua Changxi wanted to take possession of the Fire Spirit Mine, they wanted to become cultivators more. Judging from the intensity of their needs, they were at a disadvantage.

You Lao sighed: "Okay, we agree."

Hua Changxi suppressed the corner of his mouth that was raised: "There is something I have to tell you in advance. I can help you to shape your spiritual veins. After you have spiritual veins, you can absorb the power of heaven and earth. However, you have to find the cultivation method yourself."

Zhuo Fan started yelling again: "Don't you have a cultivation method? Otherwise, how did you cultivate?"

Hua Changxi shook his head: "My cultivation method cannot be passed on to others."

She had tried to record the bird breathing method before, but whenever she had the thought, she would get a splitting headache. After several times, she knew that her practice method could not be passed on casually.

Zhuo Fan looked unconvinced: "Is it true?"

Hua Changxi: "I want to cooperate with you for a long time. I won't destroy the trust between us from the beginning. When you become monks in the future, you can verify it yourself."

"The four seniors are all capable people, with influence spread all over the place. You can even find pomegranates, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a method to practice."

Jiang Ye suddenly said, "Little girl, can you tell us what the pomegranate is used for?" Hua Changxi smiled and said, "When the seniors become monks in the future, they will naturally know."

She would never tell them that it was the pomegranate of creation used to make elixir.

The Creation Pill, when taken by mortals, can reshape their spiritual veins.

The spiritual fruit of good fortune is extremely rare and difficult to grow. Once it comes into the world, it will be targeted by heavenly thunder and destroyed directly. I didn’t expect that the four old men You could actually encounter it. This is really good luck.

Zhuo Fan snorted, "Since we are already partners, there is nothing we can't say. It's not straightforward to hide it."

Hua Changxi turned and looked at him: "Senior Zhuo, how much money can Weiyuan Escort Agency earn every year, how many staff members it has, and how many partners it has, can you tell me these?"

"I may be young, but I'm not stupid. Although we are working together, we still need to keep our distance. What do you think?"

Zhuo Fan was so angry that he snorted and stopped talking.

Hua Changxi looked at the three You Lao and said, "Since the four seniors and I have reached a consensus, let's sign the contract."

The four old men of You found it a little funny. They didn't expect Hua Changxi to actually believe this.

If a piece of paper could bind others, there wouldn't be so many deadbeats in the world.

Although it was funny, You Lao still glanced at Guo Yu, and Guo Yu immediately went into the stone chamber to get paper and pen.

Mr. You signaled Guo Yu to give paper and pen to Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi did not refuse, he took the paper and pen and started writing, saying as he wrote: "In fact, when a cultivator signs a contract, he needs to swear a heart-demon oath, but I don't know how to do it, so I can only use a paper contract."

As he said this, he looked at the four You brothers with a smile.

"The most taboo for cultivators is to have inner demons. Once they are troubled by inner demons, at best they will not make any progress in their cultivation, and at worst they will suffer a backlash. The four seniors have become masters, so they should know the importance of their promises."

Hearing this, the four You brothers suddenly turned serious and put away their previous indifference.

Soon, Hua Changxi wrote five contracts, and he and the other three, You Lao, signed their names on them.

Guo Yu saw that there was no share for him, and looked at Hua Changxi anxiously: "Where's mine?"

Hua Changxi paused and said, "The four seniors have contributed their manpower and efforts, what can you contribute?"

Guo Yu looked at You Lao for help.

You Lao coughed lightly: "Chang Xi"

Hua Changxi raised his hand to interrupt him: "There is no free lunch in the world. I am not a good person and I don't do free transactions." As he said that, he took out four wooden boxes that were half the size of a palm and handed them to the four people including You Lao.

"This is a fire element fortune pill. After opening the box, take it as soon as possible."

The pomegranate of creation contains rich energy of the five elements. Hua Changxi uses the pomegranate seeds that glow red to refine the fire-type creation pill.

After the four You brothers ate the Creation Pill, they were able to create fire-type spiritual roots.

After the four You brothers carefully took the wooden box, Hua Changxi didn't look at Guo Yu's eager eyes and quickly walked out of the cave.

A fortune pomegranate has 600 pomegranate seeds, which can be used to refine fortune pills. It is not impossible to give one to Guo Yu, but she cannot be the first to do so. She cannot let the four old men of You think she is easy to talk to.

Everyone has relatives and friends. Once she opens the door, there will be no peace in the future.

Moreover, she also believes that one must have principles in doing things, and her principle is fair trade. If you want to get something for free, no way!
Hua Changxi walked down the mountain. When he was almost at the entrance of the medicine valley, a familiar figure flying on a sword appeared in his sight.

Gu Jinfan!
Hua Changxi's expression changed drastically. He was surprised that Gu Jinfan would come here, and was also surprised that she could actually fly a sword.

Watching Gu Jinfan arrive at the entrance of the medicine valley, she jumped off the flying sword lightly, then waved her hand, and the nearly two-meter-long flying sword "whoosh" turned into a stream of light and sank into her body.

Afterwards, Gu Jinfan went up the West Mountain.

Hua Changxi hid behind a huge rock and watched Gu Jinfan walking up the mountain with a very serious expression.

Gu Jinfan is a cultivator!

Even though she had lost the opportunity to obtain the red stone, she still embarked on the path of cultivation.

"What is she doing here?"

Hua Changxi followed carefully and soon found that Gu Jinfan was heading towards the stone cliff halfway up the mountain.

"Is she here to see Mr. You?"

Hua Changxi suddenly thought of the Pomegranate of Fortune. The Pomegranate of Fortune was so rare that anyone who knew its effects would fight to the death for it.

In "Bai Cao Jing Zhu", the words "bloody rain and gore" are used to describe the scene every time the fruit of creation appears.

Is Gu Jinfan here for the Pomegranate of Creation?
"who?"

Guo Yu looked warily at Gu Jinfan who appeared on the cliff silently.

When the four people including You Lao, who were about to take the Creation Pill in the cave, heard the noise, they all came out.

When Gu Jinfan saw Yang Chuan alive and well, he exclaimed in surprise: "You are not dead?" Then, he quickly looked at the three You brothers and found that they did not look seriously injured.

After Gu Jinfan shouted "You are not dead", the expressions of the four You brothers became serious.

"who are you?"

Gu Jinfan frowned, suppressing the fact that Yang Chuan was still alive, and asked directly, "Have you been to Qingzhou Five Fingers Mountain before, and snatched a five-color pomegranate?"

Hearing this, You Lao denied it without even thinking: "No, we have never been to Wuzhi Mountain."

Gu Jinfan: "You can't keep the five-colored pomegranate. Hand it over to me, and I will protect you from the Shura Clan's pursuit."

The expressions of the four You brothers changed. When they were fighting for the pomegranates before, their biggest opponent was the Shura Sect.

Not knowing where Gu Jinfan came from, Jiang Ye exchanged glances with his three friends and denied it again: "Young lady, we don't know what the pomegranate you are talking about is."

Gu Jinfan's face darkened: "If I wasn't sure that you got the five-colored pomegranate, how could I find this place? Don't force me to do it."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the four You brothers turned ugly.

The little girl in front of them spoke so loudly and exuded an aura that made them feel pressured, which made them very uneasy.

A monk?
Old You glanced at Guo Yu and signaled him to go down the mountain to find Hua Changxi.

No matter what, the pomegranate was given to Hua Changxi, and now a man who looks like a cultivator has come to ask for the pomegranate. The girl should not stay out of it.

When Guo Yu received the look from You Lao, he wanted to go down the mountain, but before he had taken a few steps, a green light came towards him.

"Bang~"

The green light hit Guo Yu and knocked him out.

Fortunately, the green light did not attack towards the cliff, otherwise Guo Yu would definitely be knocked off the cliff.

When You Lao saw Guo Yu falling to the ground with blood spitting out, his face changed. He looked at Jiang Ye and Zhuo Fan, and the three of them attacked Gu Jinfan at the same time.

Seeing the three You Lao people attacking, Gu Jinfan sneered, and mist condensed under his feet, and he was suspended in the air with a "whoosh".

"Bang bang bang~"

Three green rays flew out, and the three You Lao had no power to resist. They were all hit by the green rays, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

When Yang Chuan saw it, he immediately yelled, "The pomegranate has been taken away."

Gu Jinfan's expression changed: "Who took it away?"

Yang Chuan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell Hua Changxi.

Gu Jinfan saw his hesitation and condensed green light in his hand. The next moment, four green lights flew out again and attacked You Lao and the other three.

"Pfft~"

The four You brothers were beaten again until they vomited blood.

Yang Chuan quickly shouted: "I'll tell you."

At this moment, the air suddenly became scorching hot, and then a fire lotus flew out and fiercely attacked Gu Jinfan in mid-air.

When he saw the fire lotus, Gu Jinfan's expression changed.

How could there be monks here? !
In the gap of surprise, the fire lotus had already enveloped Gu Jinfan. Seeing the flames burning on his body, Gu Jinfan's heart was filled with huge waves of shock.

She was already a cultivator at the Qi Hai realm, yet she couldn't stop the fire lotus from burning.

Knowing that there was a cultivator whose strength was greater than hers hiding in the dark, Gu Jinfan realized that she would not be able to obtain the Fruit of Good Fortune. She could only grit her teeth, use a teleportation talisman, and quickly leave Xishan.
