Chapter 61: Re-entering the Qimen Formation, Great Harvest (Part 2)
Carved on the wooden stake were wisps of cloud,. Especially around the wooden stake, a green aura was wrapped around it, and faintly visible in the dense forest around it, there were constantly streams of green color rushing out and being absorbed by the wooden stake, showing that this was an extremely ingenious magical treasure.
"Heavens, it can actually absorb and release spiritual energy on its own, this is a Spirit Artifact! Does the Heavenly Star really have a Spirit Artifact?"
Several young Taoists became excited and shouted loudly, their eyes turned bright red as they stared at the three green dragon pillars.
Xiao Zhang Daoren hastily took a few deep breaths, then suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Xiechen and loudly shouted: "Mr. Gu, all the troubles of the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps, the Asian Dao Alliance will take it on for you!"
Good fellow Zhang Daoren, Gu Xiechen smiled and gave Zhang Daoren a thumbs up. He nodded with a smile: "Great!"
Xiao Zhang casually lifted his Taoist robe and placed the three green dragon pillars somewhere, he smiled to his companions around him: "Everyone remembers the number, the magical instruments here can only be distributed after we report back to our superiors, now we can only look at them with envy, it's better not to see them at all!"
Gu Xie dust nodded in agreement, and Little Zhang said this at the right time. Wealth and treasures move people's hearts, but for the disciples of the Asian Taoist Alliance, the temptation of these magical instruments is even greater. It's better to clearly assign these treasures to the seniors of the sect and cut off some people's thoughts, rather than having internal conflicts arise.
The Asian Taoist disciples who accompanied him were all elite, and their mental cultivation was not weak either. After hearing the words of Zhang Daoren, they suddenly realized their own greed and infatuation that had arisen in their hearts just now. Everyone simultaneously bowed their heads, clasped their hands together, and loudly chanted the Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, using the secret methods of their school to suppress the fiery passion in their hearts.
A loud gust of wind sounded, and a black eagle with wings spanning over ten feet in diameter suddenly shot out of the white mist. Zhao Yi shouted: "Earthly fierce eagle ring one, use wooden thunderbolt to capture!"
Several Taoists rushed forward a few steps, and dozens of cyan lightning-like raindrops struck the black eagle's body. The black eagle let out a mournful cry and transformed into a palm-sized ring wrapped in black and yellow mist, flying into Little Zhang's hand. This ring was neither gold nor jade nor wood nor stone, and its material could not be identified. It was extremely heavy to hold, and as soon as Little Zhang caught the Ring of Fierce Eagle, he let out a mournful cry. His palm made a cracking sound as his finger bones and wrist bones were simultaneously dislocated by the ring's force. The Ring of Fierce Eagle fell to the ground and sank into the earth several inches deep in an instant.
Huahua hastily grabbed the Lieying Ring, and Huahua's body shook involuntarily. "Wow, this thing weighs at least five tons... Luckily it landed in your hand, if it had hit your head!" Huahua looked at Little Zhangdao with ill intentions, his strange smile lifted the hem of Little Zhangdao's Taoist robe, and he stuffed the Lieying Ring inside.
This was the case dozens of times, Zhao Yi broke through dozens of small arrays embedded in the Qimen formation, and Zhang Daoren and others collected various treasures according to Zhao Yi's instructions. However, during the collection process, some treasures were either too powerful or had various strange properties, causing nearly a hundred disciples of the Asian Dao Alliance to suffer varying degrees of injury. Fortunately, the injuries were not severe, and in the face of these colorful treasures, everyone felt invigorated, and no one paid attention to the slight pain.
Finally, with a crisp bell sound passing by, forty-nine clear thunders resounded through the dense forest. The white fog suddenly condensed towards the center, and Zhao Yi carried a small bell that was only about an inch thick, as thin as a cicada's wing, with a completely greenish-white body without any impurities, along with six flag doors, walked out of the gradually dispersing white fog.
Zhao Yi, with great respect and reverence, knelt down and bowed deeply, his voice echoing as he reported: "Your Excellency, the subordinate has already broken through the **Mysterious Gate Formation. This is the flag gate of the formation, as well as the 'Cloudy Mist Bell' used to generate a sky full of white mist!" Zhao Yi handed over the Cloudy Mist Bell and the flag gate to Gu Xiechen one by one, and both Gu Xiechen and Little Zhang Daoren stretched out their hands at the same time.
Other magical instruments are nothing to worry about, but the Cloudy Mist Bell and the Flag Gate are the eyes of the formation that constitute the Great Array. It's clear that these two treasures are much more precious than other magical instruments. Xiao Zhang Daoren's eyes lit up as he grabbed for the two treasures, but Gu Xiechen was closer and snatched the Cloudy Mist Bell first, while Xiao Zhang Daoren only managed to grab the Flag Gate.
He casually put the Yun Mai Zhong into his small Qian Kun pouch, and Gu Xie dust smiled and nodded to Xiao Zhang Daoren: "These formations are too profound and mysterious for me. However, I took a liking to this Yun Mai Zhong at first sight. Xiao Zhang Daoren, among these dozens of treasures, I have a 10% ownership stake. Even if I give half to Hua, I can still get three treasures. I only want this Yun Mai Zhong, the rest are yours."
At the time of speaking, Gu Xiechen's heart was bleeding! He only saw that in Jin Xianzi's palace, there was only a small Qiankun brocade bag left behind, and he thought that Jin Xianzi was stingy and didn't leave any valuable treasures. Who knew that the real treasure was hidden inside this **Qimen Array**? This kind of legendary magical artifact, which can be found in myths, had dozens of pieces inside the Qimen Array! According to the prior agreement between Gu Xiechen and Xiao Zhang Daoren, the Asian Dao Alliance could take away 90% of these treasures, and Gu Xiechen's own 10% would have to be split with Hua Yan in half. Gu Xiechen's heart was aching as if it were about to crack open.
Luckily, Zhao Yi glanced at Yun Mai Zhong intentionally or unintentionally when handing over the two Array Eye Treasures to Gu Xie Chen. Gu Xie Chen immediately snatched Yun Mai Zhong and directly stuffed him into his brocade bag. Gu Xie Chen put on an attitude of "I must have this treasure" and stared horizontally at Little Zhang Dao Ren with both eyes.
Xiao Zhang was stunned, he grasped the six-sided flag in his hand, looked at Gu Xiechen, then at Zhao Yi, and then at the surrounding Daoist friends with unfriendly gazes. Suddenly, he burst out laughing: "This is a matter of course... In the future, we will have many more places to rely on Brother Gu!"
I don't know when I stood behind Gu Xiechen, and Hua Zhen, who had clenched his fists and was about to pounce, relaxed his hands. He smiled and nodded at Gu Xiechen repeatedly, saying: "Stinky cow nose is right, we'll have more trouble for you in the future, so let's not say polite words."
The disciples of the Asian Dao Alliance also realized at this time that the Qimen formation was something they couldn't decipher, but the big man summoned by Gu Xiechen easily broke through the entire formation. It seems that in the future, they may encounter even more troublesome formations and restrictions on Tian Xing, all for the sake of offending Gu Xiechen over a Cloudy Clock, which is absolutely unwise.
The increasingly tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Gu Xiechen and Xiao Zhang Daoren burst out laughing at the same time, then firmly grasped each other's hands.
"It was a pleasure working with you!" Gu Xiachen looked at Xiao Zhang with unparalleled sincerity.
"It was a pleasure working with you!" Little Zhang said, looking at Gu Xiechen with an unusually sincere expression. He then asked casually, "This Daoist friend, I don't know if..."
Gu Xie dust looked at Zhao Yi, he dazedly shook his head: "As Dao Zhang saw, he is the one I brought out... Boundary puppet? But why did he break through the formation, which I don't know."
Xiao Zhang and his fellow disciples were consumed with envy, their eyes turning green. The Cristo fusion would grant its master all sorts of bizarre abilities, but no one had ever heard of a summoned puppet breaking through such an intricate formation before. Could it be because the crystal ball Gu Xiechen fused was black? The Asian Dao Alliance had long investigated Gu Xiechen's information and naturally knew everything that happened before and after he fused with the Cristo crystal ball.
"When I have time, I'll go to the Underworld Star and capture a black Cristo Crystal Man!" Hua gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, who knows if the interface puppet I summon can drive away the heavenly demons and ancient gods of all directions, that would be a huge profit!"
A group of people each thought for a while, under the proposal of Gu Xiechen, they closely followed Zhao Yi and walked into the tunnel leading to Jin Xianzi's underground palace.
All the way, Zhao Yi broke through the array methods and prohibitions along the way as easily as breaking bamboo, and also collected a large number of acquired five-element refined prohibition artifacts. The little Zhang Taoist and his party looked at it with their eyes wide open, scrambling to collect the treasures was a joyous scramble, and their gaze towards Zhao Yi was also getting hotter and hotter - this is indeed a living treasure! Unfortunately, such a living treasure, why did Gu Xie summon it as a boundary puppet?
Never heard of a puppet having such a strong spiritual nature, is this a special property brought by the black crystal ball?
Xiao Zhang and Hua exchanged opinions with gestures that only they could understand - just based on Zhao Yi, they wanted to tightly pull Gu Xuan Dust into the Asian Dao Alliance. Moreover, it would be best if Gu Xuan Dust leaned towards Yun Tai Temple in Tongnan Mountain and Jiuyou Dao, which would be perfect. By grasping Zhao Yi, it was equivalent to having the power to restrain Xuanji Sect and Miluo Sect. Yun Tai Temple and Jiuyou Dao would inevitably have a stronger say within the Asian Dao Alliance.
Gu Xiechen smiled and followed closely behind Zhao Yi, the small movements of Zhang Daoren and Huahua were seen clearly by him, he also guessed what the two were planning, he even suspected that other Dao Alliance disciples were thinking of the same thing. Good, very good, the more important Gu Xiechen is to the Dao Alliance, the safer Gu Xiechen and the Hell's Angel Mercenary Corps will be, and the greater the benefits they can get.
"Merchants are like that, it's just an exchange of interests. As long as the price is right, Gu Xiechen can also sell himself!" Gu Xiechen smiled complacently with his hands behind his back.
The ban within the Yongdao was lifted by Zhao Yi, and a group of people arrived in front of the underground palace left by Jin Xianzi.
Several Taoist disciples looked at the underground palace made of white jade and suddenly shouted like mad.
"Lei Qi Xian Yu, Lei Qi Xian Yu, this is the ultimate material for making Lei Dou! Good heavens, good heavens, so many Lei Qi Xian Yu, who is the senior here? What a grand gesture!"
"Heavens, ten years ago a poor-quality piece of Tianhuang stone was auctioned off on the black market for a sky-high price of 1.9 billion, and it was only the size of a human head! Good grief, there's so much of it here!"
Several Taoists rushed over and hugged a pillar of the palace, using all their strength to try and pull it out. Unfortunately, the pillar was over ten zhang high, three chi in diameter, and weighed tens of tons - how could they possibly pull it out? The Taoists were all anxious, shouting: "Hua Daoist friend, come quickly to help! This is all Lei Chi's immortal jade!"
"Ah-choo!" Huà Tǔ spat out a mouthful of saliva, his head tilted to one side as he sneered coldly: "What I hate the most are all sorts of pure Yang thunder methods. Don't think about me helping you collect these Thunder Jade Immortals."
Huà's face was all black, the disciples of Jiǔ Yōu Dào were most afraid of various pure Yang thunder methods and pure Yang true fire. These Léi Jīn Xiān Yù were the top materials for making Léi Zhēn, which was exactly their nemesis. Did they want him to help these Taoists collect Léi Jīn Xiān Yù? Unless Huà had gone mad or stupid!
Gu Xie was startled by the price quoted by those Taoists, and his heart, liver, and lungs all trembled. He stared blankly at Zhao Yi and asked dryly, "Why didn't you tell me this is Lei Qi's immortal jade? A single piece of lower quality than the pillars here can be auctioned off for nearly 200 million. How much would a palace of this size be worth?"
Just thinking about the last time he came, he only took away those gold and silver treasures and the golden bricks on the ground, Gu Xie felt like his heart was bleeding. The value of this palace is probably more than a hundred times more expensive than the treasures he looted, he picked up a small sesame seed but lost a huge watermelon!
Zhao Yi looked at Gu Xie Chen in surprise and asked, "Upper Venerable, what value does this inferior-quality Leichi Xianyu have? Not even the weakest of the One Qi Xian Lei can be supported by it, it's completely worthless! To say that even if there were a hundred times more of these Leichi Xianyu, they still wouldn't be worth one corner of that Tian Quan Blue Crystal!"
"Ah!" Gu Xie's eyes widened as he stared at Zhao Yi, suddenly realizing the vast difference in their values.
Looking at Zhao Yi sincerely, Gu Xiechen let out a long sigh and said: "Zhao Yi, you must understand. This is... uh, this isn't the Heavenly Emperor's realm, this is... the mortal world! So, even if it seems insignificant to you, a small piece of Leiqi Xianyu jade has immense value. From now on, no matter how strange or unusual the materials are, you must tell me, got it?"
Zhao Yi looked at Gu Xie Chen in surprise, and after a while, Zhao Yi suddenly slapped his forehead. "I understand now, hmm, one of my brothers has already obtained it, he was lucky enough to borrow a volume of 'Zhou Tian Yi Bao Lu' from Guang Mu Tian Wang back then, which recorded countless spiritual stones, spiritual medicines, spiritual birds and beasts, etc., the superior can ask for it from my brother."
Gu Xiechen's eyes lit up with a 'ding', he tapped Zhao Yi's shoulder with his toes and nodded in approval.
"'The Record of the Extraordinary Treasure of Zhou Tian'? Alright, very good! If this book is printed and published, whether it's the Asian Dao Alliance, the Pantheon Union, or the Vatican, how much would they pay for it?"
How wonderful!
Gu Xie dust stood here 'heh heh' with a strange smile, while on the other side, Little Zhang Dao Ren and others had already begun their frantic demolition work. They wielded swords, spears, heavy hammers, and large axes, 'humming' as they struck the pillars, doors, windows, and steps of the palace, strenuously smashing down pieces of Lei Qi Xian Yu and stuffing them into their personal storage magical artifacts.
Several disciples of the Asian Taoist sect 'Tie Cang Temple' are extremely robust and powerful, Tie Cang Temple's signature technique is the Indestructible Diamond Skill. The monks, who were bald, somehow managed to get their hands on several heavy-duty shovels and furiously smashed them against the palace, knocking off large chunks of divine jade that they stuffed into their storage bags.
Gu Xie took a deep breath and let out a loud roar: "Brothers, get to work!"
