Chapter 255 Starry Sky Boat
Chapter 255 Starry Sky Boat
Zhou Qingmu looked around at the many Li family monks in the Changqing Hall, played with the teacup in his hand, and started to bring up another topic.
"Congratulations to the noble for being promoted to a Jindan family. According to the rules of our Xingchen Sect, among the many forces under our command, the destruction of a sect or a clan is not allowed to occur."
He spoke word by word, and there was an extra bit of sharpness in his words. There was hardly anyone who could cultivate to the level of a Golden Core True Person who was not decisive in killing.
Li Quanqing glanced at Master Jiujian. No wonder this old man followed them. It turned out that he was waiting for them here.
"Don't worry, my fellow Daoist. My Li family has always been close to the Shuihua Sword Sect. We help and love each other. We will never betray our allies. Don't worry!"
In the main hall, many members of the Li family nodded one after another, and all of them showed kind smiles to Master Jiujian.
In fact, including Li Quanqing, no one was very satisfied with the title bestowed upon them by the Xingchen Sect.
For a Jindan clan, the territorial waters of 20,000 miles of sea are too small and the resources are simply not enough.
However, the Shuihua Sword Sect only controls so much sea area, and if they could bear the pain of giving up half of it, it would cost them their lives.
If you want more territory, you can only go to the front line to open up new land. As long as you kill the demon king, you can naturally seize their territory and use it as the foundation of your family.
Every inch of the East China Sea occupied by the human race was won with blood and bones by the predecessors in the immortal cultivation world, and was full of hardships.
Zhou Qingmu tasted the tea, the tea leaves were floating in the spring water, the fragrance of the tea was so lingering that it almost made him feel intoxicated:
"Friend Li, I won't beat around the bush. I have a good relationship with the Shui Hua Master from before. What I mean is, how about you sign a Star Alliance?"
Star Covenant?
Li Quanqing raised his eyebrows. He had seen this thing before.
When the Situ family was about to be exterminated, they took out a covenant, claiming that they had the protection of the Xingchen Sect and hoped that the Shuihua Sword Sect would retreat.
In fact, this is true. As a righteous sect, Xingchen Sect naturally does not want the forces under its command to be in chaos. At least it needs to maintain a stable situation.
The Star Covenant came into being.
The two parties to the agreement are under the protection of the Xingchen Sect and are not allowed to actively provoke attacks against each other. Those who violate the agreement will be punished by the Yuanying Sect.
But this thing was of limited use, and the Situ family was eventually exterminated anyway.
Even if you have the covenant in hand, if you have no connections within the Xingchen Sect and are just a foundation-building family, no one will stand up for you.
But for the Jindan forces, the deterrent power of this alliance is undoubtedly much stronger.
This is the character of True Man Jiujian. He tends to be old-fashioned and conservative, and he actually hopes for an alliance to ensure that the Li family will not take action.
The Shuihua Sword Sect has indeed declined. It has lost the sharpness and pride of its sword practitioners and has begun to pin its hopes on others rather than relying on its own strength.
Li Quanqing's eyes changed, and he began to communicate with Li Kunlun through telepathy to discuss the alliance.
Seeing this, Nine Swords Master suddenly took out a jade box and said, "I am willing to give you five foundation-building pills. Congratulations to the Li family for becoming a great golden pill clan and wishing them eternal prosperity!"
The box opened, revealing five crystal clear pills. A rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, instantly attracting the attention of all members of the Li family.
Even those great monks who had established their foundation were all staring with their eyes wide open, their eyes as big as copper bells.
There was no way. The Qingyu Li family was too poor. They had been used to living a hard life and had never seen such a wealthy person.
Five foundation-building pills, something I couldn't even imagine before!
Li Quanqing couldn't help but cough, which immediately made Li Kunli and the others come back to their senses, and some of them had red faces.
Throughout the thousand-year history of the Li family, there has never been so many Foundation Establishment Pills. It is beyond imagination.
"Only five pills. This is not enough..."
Li Quanqing tapped the teacup gently: "How about adding a few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs?"
True Man Jiujian frowned: "What do you want the thousand-year-old elixir for? These foundation-building pills are enough for the Li family to use for a long time." Even for the Sword Sect, the thousand-year-old elixir is a strategic resource. It can be used to refine foundation-building pills continuously, ensuring its eternal prosperity.
Zhou Qingmu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that fellow Daoist can also refine the foundation-building pill?"
Li Quanqing smiled reservedly: "I know a little bit. I do have some experience in alchemy and I am ready to give it a try. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhou is also proficient in this?"
After talking for a while, the two of them suddenly discovered that they were both alchemists with considerable accomplishments, and they had a very pleasant conversation.
For a moment, I felt that we had met too late.
When Master Jiujian saw this scene, his face turned as black as charcoal, and he cursed those detectives from the Sword Sect in his heart.
Master Li Jiaquan Qingren was actually a second-rank top-grade alchemist, and these guys who just lived off the rice didn't even get a whiff of it!
In the end, after some bargaining, the Shuihua Sword Sect paid the price of eight Foundation Establishment Pills in exchange for a brief peace.
At least the elders within the sect can sleep peacefully at night.
Li Quanqing's greatest gain was that he became good friends with the sect's envoy Zhou Qingmu. They had a very close relationship and even exchanged identity jade tokens.
His alchemy skills were infused with the golden finger, and his basic knowledge was solid and comprehensive. When he discussed the Dao at this moment, Zhou Qingmu simply called him a confidant!
"By the way, Brother Zhou, my Li family is still short of a few third-tier warships. Can we buy them from the upper sect?"
Li Quanqing asked with a smile, already beginning to treat the other party as a brother.
"Brother Quanqing, you don't know this."
"The Golden Core Battleship is an outdated antique. The most popular weapon among the Yuanying Sects now is the Starry Sky Boat!"
"This is a profound magic weapon that was passed down from the Changsheng Dao in Zhonghua a hundred years ago. It is extremely powerful. Even the Yuanying Zhenjuns are full of praise for it!"
Zhou Qingmu was open-minded and straightforward, and seemed like someone who loved making friends.
"Xingchen Sky Boat, what is this?"
There was curiosity in Li Quanqing's words.
Even the Nine Swords Master who was standing next to him pricked up his ears and listened, as if he was extremely anxious.
"The Starry Sky Boat can also be called the Starry Fortress. Of course, this is how the Immortal Dynasty of Immortality calls it."
"To put it simply, it is to intercept the stars in the sky, use great magic power to sacrifice and refine them, take tens of millions of Qi-refining magic tools and foundation-building spiritual tools, and combine them into a Tianzhou fortress that is far more powerful than ordinary golden elixir magic tools!"
Zhou Qingmu spoke mysteriously, but with a proud look on his face, as if he was showing off.
"This……"
Li Quanqing was shocked when he heard this. He felt that there was something wrong with the style of Changshengdao's paintings.
Everyone in the hall was also extremely shocked. They had never seen anyone using stars to refine treasures. This was a great supernatural power that only Yuanying Zhenjun could possess!
"If you are interested, Brother Qing, I can apply to the sect for you to collect spirit stones in the size of a star."
"For every additional 100 miles of the star's diameter, I will charge you 1 million low-grade spirit stones. It's really not expensive."
Zhou Qingmu spoke up. He knew that this kind of Sky Boat was expensive. This was indeed a friendship price and he did not want to cheat his good friend.
In fact, because there is less than half a century left until the next beast tide, the Star Sect is also preparing to promote the Star Sky Boat in a small area to give those outer sea monsters a big surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, our Shuihua Sword Sect also wants it. I wonder if you can make some concessions?"
Master Jiujian finally interrupted the topic, his eyes full of anticipation.
Zhou Qingmu glanced at him, thought for a moment, and also agreed to help him ask.
Li Quanqing and Li Kunlun looked at each other and their hearts beat fast.
