Chapter 32 is mine!
Chapter 32 is mine!
No one cared what Gu Yeqing and Chu Xian were doing, and no one wanted to know why they didn't go to seize the tripod.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the tripod that broke out of the ground, and no one had time to pay attention to anything else!
The tripod represents extraordinary significance in Chinese culture.
Generally speaking, tripod-type magic weapons are among the most precious among the same grades.
The tripod in front of us broke out of the ground automatically. When it came out, white light shot straight into the sky and lingered for a long time.
Even a fool would know that this is undoubtedly an extremely precious magic weapon!
Since the revival of spiritual energy two years ago, all kinds of treasures have appeared frequently all over the world, especially in China, where there are countless treasures. As a cultivator, I am no longer surprised by this.
But even though many treasures have come into the world in the past two years, not many have caused such a commotion.
There is no need to explain how precious this tripod is!
The group of people were excited and ran towards that direction with all their might, wanting to grab it as quickly as possible and make it their own!
It’s just a pity that there are too many people participating in the treasure hunt.
For a while, the treasure will not have a fixed owner!
Such a precious magic weapon belongs to whoever gets it.
Besides, wanting to snatch the tripod away under the eyes of so many people is undoubtedly a foolish dream!
The first ones to approach the cauldron were the three monks who had reached the ninth level of the acquired realm.
The three of them approached the slowly rotating bronze tripod floating in the air at almost the same time.
Among the three, the one in front was an old man with white hair and beard.
Compared with the other two, he was a little faster and was several body lengths ahead of the other two.
The treasure tripod was right in front of him. The old man looked very happy. He stretched out his right hand and was about to grab the treasure tripod.
But the reality was not as he wished.
The moment he approached within ten meters of the tripod, the other two people following him attacked at the same time tacitly.
The two middle-aged men, one on the left and one on the right, one punched out and the other slapped out, both using all their strength.
The full-strength attack of a cultivator who has reached the ninth level of perfection in the acquired realm should never be underestimated!
A punch and a palm were thrown out at the same time, with tremendous momentum, heading towards the back of the old man!
A strong sense of crisis came from behind, and the old man's face suddenly darkened.
He didn't dare to take it head-on!
The two people behind him were almost as strong as him. If he took the tripod by force, he would have to take every punch and palm strike from them, and would most likely be seriously injured!
Once he was injured, not only would he lose the qualification to seize the tripod, but he would also put himself in danger!
So, he immediately gave up the idea of taking the tripod and dodged to the side of the tripod.
Bang!
A punch and a palm suddenly hit the treasure tripod, and a heavy sound was heard!
When the sound was rang out, an energy shield emitting a faint glow appeared on the bronze tripod, blocking all the power of the punch and palm, dissolving it into nothingness.
Baoding, safe and sound!
"It's really extraordinary!"
After the old man walked sideways around the tripod, he stopped behind it, then turned around and stared at the tripod.
Seeing that the old man had given up on taking the tripod, the two middle-aged men did not continue to attack.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, also stopped ten meters away from the tripod.
The three of them occupied three sides, forming a three-legged tripod and surrounded the tripod.
They looked solemn, did not speak, and did not take any action.
No one is a fool. At this time, whoever wants to step forward to seize the tripod will inevitably be attacked by the other two at the same time!
A few seconds later, others arrived.
Then, more than 20 people began to gather in groups of three or four, as before, and divided into several groups.
Among the three, except for the old man, several people gathered around the other two.
A crowd of people gathered around the bronze tripod in silence for a long while.
"Everyone, there are too many monks and too little porridge. There is only one tripod, but we have more than twenty people."
The old man saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he slowly said, "How do we decide who owns this tripod?"
"Of course this tripod belongs to my Liang family!"
One of the middle-aged men snorted coldly and said, "Treasures have always belonged to the strong. At this time and place, my Liang family is the strongest. You are no match for us. This tripod, of course, belongs to us!"
About seven or eight people gathered around the man.
The strength of these people is between the sixth and eighth levels of the acquired realm. Combined, they are quite strong and are the most powerful force here.
The others are only three or five people, and they simply don’t have the strength to compete with them!
Therefore, the man was full of confidence and looked determined to win.
"is it?"
Another middle-aged man sneered, looked at him and said, "Liang Cheng, are you so sure that you are the strongest?"
As he spoke, he turned around and said loudly to the person behind him: "I am Su Mingliang from the Su family. I believe you are all familiar with my Su family, right?"
"My Su family is also quite famous in southern Jiangsu. We, the Su family, have always acted uprightly and kept our promises. We have gained trust over the years. I hereby promise that if anyone is willing to help my Su family seize the tripod, I will definitely reward you handsomely after the success!"
Liang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned ugly.
"Everyone, this tripod is extraordinary, and everyone has seen it. If you are not strong enough, you will risk your life if you try to fight for it. Since your hope of winning the tripod is slim, why don't you lend a helping hand to my Su family?"
Su Mingliang continued, "I promise that once my Su family obtains the tripod, no matter how much it is worth, I will give each person at least three Qi-restoring pills. If the value of this tripod exceeds expectations, there will be an additional reward!"
"Everyone, I'm sure you all know how much my Su family's Qi-restoring pills are worth, so what are you still hesitating about?"
Before Su Mingliang finished speaking, many people had already shown eager expressions on their faces.
The Su family's Qi-replenishing pills are very famous in southern Jiangsu.
This is a pill that can restore your true Qi. If taken by a Xiantian person, it can restore your true Qi to full capacity within minutes. It is a must-have treasure for home and travel, and it is extremely useful at critical moments.
This pill is rare, in short supply and extremely precious.
Normally, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. "Are you serious, Mr. Su?"
someone asked.
"My Su family never tells lies!"
Seeing that many people were interested in joining them, Su Mingliang immediately looked delighted and made a promise.
"Well, we are willing to help you seize the tripod!"
"I'll join in, too."
"Count me in!"
About ten people joined the Su family's team.
Suddenly, the power of the Su family exceeded that of the Liang family by a lot.
"Liang Cheng, I think this tripod should belong to my Su family!"
Su Mingliang smiled and looked confident.
Liang Cheng looked extremely unhappy.
His Liang family and the Su family have a deep feud and have always been in a hostile relationship.
The Su family is quite trusted by practitioners in southern Jiangsu, and they have things like Qi-recovering pills, but the Liang family does not have such a reputation.
His method of making a solemn promise to get people to help them basically didn't work.
His eyes rolled, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the old man who had been silent on the other side and said, "Sir, you have seen the current situation. The owner of this tripod must be between my Liang family and the Su family. You are alone and have basically lost the qualification to seize the tripod. Why don't you lend me a helping hand?"
"Once it's done, I will definitely give you enough benefits!"
Now it was Su Mingliang's turn to look unhappy.
"Sir, the Liang family has always been notorious for not keeping their word, often going back on their words, and using all kinds of despicable means. They have long been notorious in the southern Jiangsu area. Don't trust them easily."
He said: "Why don't you help my Su family seize the tripod, and I will also give you a generous reward!"
Because the old man was a lone ranger, his overall strength was much weaker than the other two families. He basically lost the qualification to compete for the throne, and the three-way balance of power was broken.
But at the same time, he also became the target of the other two parties' competition.
His strength is enough to influence the outcome of the war. Whichever side can win him over will have a much greater chance!
"Oh?"
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. A smile appeared on his face and he said slowly, "If that's the case, then I'll put my words aside. I want a reward equal to 50% of the value of this tripod. I'll help whoever agrees."
"This is impossible!"
Liang Cheng and Su Mingliang said in unison, their faces instantly turning ugly.
"Sir, your request is excessive."
Liang Cheng looked at the old man with displeasure.
"Sir, your conditions are really too high. We can't possibly agree to them. If we give you 50%, it would be better for our two families to just divide the tripod in half to avoid fighting and causing casualties!"
Su Mingliang shook his head and said.
The old man was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "I want 40%, no less!"
Su Mingliang and Liang Cheng were both silent, looking hesitant.
They were all weighing whether to agree to the old man's somewhat excessive request.
But before they could answer, a calm voice suddenly came from behind them: "You don't have to fight, this tripod is mine."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and turned to look.
They saw a man and a woman flying towards them.
It was Ye Qing and Chu Xian!
After everyone came to their senses, they were all shocked!
This young man is really shameless!
"Boy, are you tired of living?"
Liang Cheng looked at Ye Qing with a grim smile on his face, his eyes flashing with danger.
"Young man, this is not the place for you!"
Su Mingliang looked serious and unhappy.
"Boy, I just let you go, but you still don't run away? You are really brave!"
A hoarse voice was heard, it was from the middle-aged man who had attacked Ye Qing before.
He sneered, leaped up, and flew towards Ye Qing like lightning. At the same time, he stretched out his hand into a claw and grabbed Ye Qing's neck: "In that case, I won't be polite!"
"Let me give you a ride!"
In an instant, the man appeared in front of Ye Qing.
His hand was about to touch Ye Qing's neck!
The man's move was so fast that many people didn't react.
When they saw that the man actually wanted to kill Ye Qing, he was almost successful.
Countless people sighed in their hearts.
Young people nowadays are too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
In front of so many powerful people, you dare to speak so shamelessly. You deserve to be taught a lesson and pay the price!
But the price is too high.
After all, a person only has one life!
