Mysterious mirror hanging high

Looking at the expensive storage bag in front of him, Jing Yu did not take it immediately. Instead, he frowned and said in a deep voice:

"What does this mean, Fellow Daoist Nan?"

"As the saying goes, there's no reward without merit. My master and I don't seem to have any connection with you, fellow Taoist. Why are you giving us gifts right away?"

Nan Xingyan twirled his beard and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing is an open and honest person. I, the old Taoist, don't like beating around the bush, so I'll speak frankly."

"The descendant of the old Taoist, Nan Chenshui, is the Golden Elixir Daoist of this generation at Juntian Temple. His aptitude and foundation are quite decent. He has barely achieved the Golden Purple Elixir stage and is considered to have a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

Jing Yu nodded slightly. Unlike the Liangyi Temple, which advocated pure cultivation and abiding by precepts, the Juntian Temple allowed its monks to marry and have children. Therefore, it was normal for Nan Xingyan to have several descendants with good qualifications.

"It's a pity that Chen Shui is not good at fighting, and cannot be compared with the fighting power of a sword cultivator like your disciple."

Nan Xingyan said with a pleasant face, "I won't hide it from you, fellow Daoist. This time, there are only three spots available for the Xuanyuan Yuhuatian cave dwelling, but there are four Golden Purple Prodigies attending the meeting..."

"Among these four, Shen Shui is the weakest. Not to mention Guan Xiaoyou and that Penglai Saintess Xiao Yinghan, I'm afraid he can't even defeat that little bull nose from the Liangyi Temple."

"What the old Taoist wants to ask is, could you please give up this opportunity of [Xuan Yuan Yu Hua Tian] and make room for Chen Shui?"

"These spiritual resources will be regarded as compensation from the Taoist master."

Nan Xingyan continued before he finished speaking, "If this [Penglai Meeting] wasn't a defensive battle, there wouldn't be any need for such trouble. I, the old Taoist priest, could simply bribe Young Master Guan or Saint Lady Xiao to eliminate that bull-nosed fellow from the Liangyi Temple. Why go through so much trouble?"

"But precisely because it's a battle to defend the ring, even if Liangyiguan Daozi fails to defend the ring, he can still turn around and attack the sinking ring."

Jing Yu was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Nan, I'm sorry, but I really can't agree to this."

Nan Xingyan seemed to have a plan in mind, and he didn't get angry when he heard it. He just smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, there's no need to rush into making a decision. Why don't you take a look at the contents of this storage bag first?"

Jing Yu probed into the storage bag with his spiritual sense and took a look, his face showing surprise.

In one of the two storage bags, there were several wind-attributed infant-forming spirit objects, as well as two [Infant Transformation Pills] of excellent quality.

The other one contained a large amount of [Superior Grade Spirit Stones], which were hard currency that was useful even to a Nascent Soul True Lord. They were indispensable for replenishing mana and essence and maintaining the operation of the formation.

Nan Xingyan stroked his beard and said, "Although [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] was left behind by an immortal, and it is said to contain immortal inheritance, to be honest, the upper and lower limits of the opportunities obtained within it vary greatly. Those with good luck can soar to the sky like [Penglai Tianjun] did in the past."

"The unlucky one got a bottle of Qi-training pills, but what good is that to the Golden Purple Heavenly Pride?"

"In fact, the geniuses selected by the Penglai Conference every two hundred years to enter this immortal cave dwelling, the average treasure they obtain is at the Nascent Soul stage. Only a few have obtained treasures that are also useful to the God Transformation Heavenly Monarch. Such luck is actually rare in the past 20,000 years."

"The spiritual resources in these two storage bags of this old Taoist priest far exceed the average value of spiritual resources obtained by previous geniuses in the [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian]. Rather than pursuing an illusory opportunity to become an immortal, it is better to put the tangible spiritual resources in your pockets and be at peace."

Guan Lingxiao, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Master Nan, there's something I don't understand. Even if I really gave up a spot and your disciple of your temple entered, if the opportunity he obtained was mediocre, wouldn't it be a loss for Master Zhenjun to give such precious compensation?"

Nan Xingyan said, "Little Friend Guan, you may not know that [Juntian Temple] has always offered extra rewards to Jindan Daoists who have secured a spot at [Penglai Gathering]. These rewards are extremely generous, and they are the main reason for this opportunity."

"As long as Chen Shui can get a spot, even if the spiritual resources I pay are quite valuable, it will be a sure win."

Jing Yu looked calm, but sighed in his heart.

In fact, Nan Xingyan’s proposal is reasonable and the compensation given is fair.

But the prerequisite is that Guan Lingxiao cannot get a good opportunity in Xuanyuan Yuhuatian.

But in fact, there are several small worlds in Xuanyuan Yuhuatian. Not to mention that Jing Yu has already found a solution for his disciple in the [Dali World], as long as Guan Lingxiao comes to the [Dali World], it can almost be said that he has reserved an opportunity to become an immortal.

Even if Guan Lingxiao lacked some luck and descended into other small worlds, as long as he stuck to the general direction of [supporting younger cultivators] and understood the nature of the Immortal Yuhua, the treasures Guan Lingxiao could obtain would at least not be inferior to those of the [Penglai Heavenly Monarch] Xiao Buyi back then.

From this perspective, the spiritual resources at hand are far from enough to make up for the losses.

But Jing Yu couldn't say openly that his disciple would definitely get the opportunity to become an immortal. He had to do it secretly, otherwise he would inevitably be coveted by others.

So Jing Yu could only say in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Nan, please forgive me for not being able to agree to this matter."

Nan Xingyan's face darkened. "Fellow Daoist, these spiritual resources are quite a lot. Your disciple may not be able to obtain such a harvest in Xuanyuan Yuhuatian. It is better to stop while we are ahead."

The treasure house supervisor of Juntian Temple thought that Jing Yu was going to ask for an exorbitant price, and his smile disappeared.

Jing Yu shook his head and said, "It's not about spiritual resources. [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] was left behind by an immortal. It is a rare place for a poor disciple to train. Even if you gain nothing, you can still gain knowledge."

"To expand your knowledge!" Nan Xingyan sneered inwardly, "Which cultivator wouldn't go to a secret realm to inherit techniques, cultivate spiritual resources, and obtain rare treasures? Why are you so pretentious?"

Then he said bluntly, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, even if the status of this [Xuan Yuan Yu Hua Tian] is as high as the sky, no matter how much it boasts of being a legacy left by an immortal, it is ultimately just an inheritance opportunity prepared for Jin Dan cultivators. It is impossible for it to obtain anything very good."

"Otherwise, why did they only send a late Nascent Soul ghost cultivator True Lord to guard the place? To be more blunt, the Great True Lord simply saw that Xu Yuan was a good environment for ghost cultivators to cultivate, so he just guarded it."

"The opportunity of [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] is ultimately just a prelude to [A Meeting in Penglai]."

"What we [One Mountain, Two Views] care about is not the prize, but the reputation of being the crowned leader among all the proud people of Penglai!"

"Why is [One Mountain and Two Temples] able to consistently occupy the top three positions in the Penglai Immortal Continent? It's because the three major Taoist sects, [Penglai Holy Land], [Juntian Temple], and [Liangyi Temple], unless they close off their mountains and hide from the world and don't participate in the Penglai Conference, can each secure a spot! This has remained unchanged for 20,000 years."
