Chapter 397 The Power Behind the Scenes

"Fellow Daoist, take care. Welcome to our Shiwen Pavilion next time." The white-haired old man greeted Li Qianqing to leave. At the end, he added, "In our Shiwen Pavilion, as long as you can afford the price, there is no news that you can't find out."

"Yes." When Li Qianqing nodded, the door of Shiwen Pavilion opened again.

After learning more about the information of Yulian Island Lake, Li Qianqing felt that the five medium-grade spirit stones were worth spending.

The additional information about the Jindan forces in Tianyuan County was not important to him. The reason why he wanted their most basic information was to make a disguise.

For a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, it is essential to have basic information about the Jindan forces here when he comes to Tianyuan County for the first time. Many cultivators in the foundation building period will do this. His approach just makes him look more ordinary.

There should be many cultivators who know that Yulian Island in the center of Yulian Island Lake is about to give birth to a Jindan spirit object, and there are also many cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. Through the observation just now, Li Qianqing can judge that Shiwen Pavilion has received many cultivators like him in recent times.

The two big countries are very large, which is incomparable to the three small countries. Many foundation-building cultivators here may never leave their counties in their lifetime because the place is too big.

Tianyuan County is just a small county for Fanyang State, and the area of ​​this small county is more than twenty times that of Xiangshui County of Zhao State.

There are many foundation-building forces here. One of the Jindan forces is the Hua family, a Jindan cultivation family, and the other is the Jindan sect Taiji Mountain.

In addition to giving him the most basic information about the two Jindan forces, the white-haired old man also talked about some of the grievances between the two families.

Two thousand years ago, the ancestor of the Hua family was a Jindan cultivator in Taiji Mountain. It is said that it seemed that because his concubine in the foundation-building period was robbed by the sect master of Taiji Mountain, he took his younger generation away from Taiji Mountain and established the Jindan cultivation family Hua family.

The white-haired old man told Li Qianqing these news to tell him that the conflict between the Hua family and Taiji Mountain is very deep. If you come here just for the Jindan spirit objects, don't get involved in the dispute between the two Jindan forces.

Especially now when Jindan spiritual objects are produced, both the Hua family and Taiji Mountain have made moves. They may use Jindan spiritual objects as temptation. Only by doing something for them can we better obtain Jindan spiritual objects.

After returning to his residence, Li Qianqing sorted out the information he had obtained, and combined with the information he originally knew, he analyzed the current situation.

"The two Jindan forces in Tianyuan County, the Hua family and Taiji Mountain, it is not easy for them to obtain Xuanfu Wood. Behind the Shiwen Pavilion is the Wuyue Palace... Although Tianyuan County is on the edge of the influence of the Wuyue Palace, there are three Jindan spiritual objects. They should send Jindan cultivators here..."

Li Qianqing analyzed that he felt that the possibility of the Yuanying force Wuyue Palace participating was very high.

Jindan cultivators are the mainstay of the Yuanying forces, and Jindan spiritual objects are relatively rare in the Yuanying sect, but they can still be exchanged.

In the competition for Jindan spiritual objects, Yuanying cultivators will not normally drop their prices. What can make them take action are at least spiritual objects that assist in breaking the dan and becoming an infant. Such spiritual objects are also very scarce in the Yuanying sect.

"…Three pieces of Xuan Fu Mu…It's best to get all of them." In the absence of Yuanying stage cultivators, Li Qianqing wanted all of the Xuan Fu Mu.

He had this idea and had the corresponding strength.

This time, only cultivators in the late Jindan stage would compete for the Xuan Fu Mu. There was not even a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. The highest level was only the peak of the middle Jindan stage.

The specific situation would not be known until the birth of the Jindan spiritual object Xuan Fu Mu. No matter how much Li Qianqing inquired, he could not get the corresponding information.

For him, there was no need to inquire about such information, which would expose too much information.

Li Qianqing, who had already made a plan, was going to rest here first, and then prepare to act when the Xuan Fu Mu was born.

…

The branch pavilion of Tianyuan County Shiwen Pavilion was closed to the public today.

The white-haired old man swept away his previous appearance and prepared to welcome the arrival of important people.

In the shadow of the pavilion, a beautiful woman walked slowly. There was no spiritual power fluctuation around her. It seemed that she was not a cultivator, but just an ordinary mortal.

This person was named Liu Mingjuan, one of the masters of the Five Mountains Palace.

There are five palace masters in Wuyue Palace, and all the cultivators who can become palace masters are late Jindan cultivators.

When the white-haired old man saw the visitor, he bowed and immediately shouted, "Meeting Palace Master Liu."

"Mr. Xu, there is no need to be polite in private."

"Palace Master Liu, you still have to be polite." The white-haired old man responded quickly. The other party said that, but it did not mean that the other party really wanted it to be like this.

He did not like to work under Liu Mingjuan, because this one of the five palace masters was famous for her mood swings, and no one knew what she was thinking. Facing such a late Jindan cultivator, he should at least do things in a proper manner, so that he would not be easily caught.

Liu Mingjuan nodded lightly and did not say more about this topic.

It seemed that this was just a casual remark of hers.

"How many Jindan cultivators came for the Xuanfu Wood?" Liu Mingjuan asked when she sat in the main seat.

"There are a total of five Jindan-level cultivators who have come so far, including one in the middle Jindan stage and four in the early Jindan stage." The white-haired old man reported the situation.

These are all Jindan cultivators who have been to Shiwen Pavilion. There must be some Jindan cultivators who have not come to their side. For example, the cultivators from the two Jindan forces in Tianyuan County have never been here. As forces in this county, their collection of information about Yulian Island Lake is no worse than that of Shiwen Pavilion.

In addition to the Jindan-level cultivators, there are also many foundation-building cultivators, especially those in the late stage of foundation-building, who come to their Zhiwen Pavilion to inquire about information.

In the current situation, the possibility of these foundation-building cultivators to obtain the Xuanfu Wood is almost zero. At least they need to be Jindan-stage cultivators to have the hope of competing for the Xuanfu Wood.

"Five people have come... The Hua family and Taiji Mountain will definitely send Jindan cultivators to Yulian Island Lake, so there will be at least seven Jindan cultivators competing for the Xuanfu Wood this time..."

As Liu Mingjuan spoke, the white-haired old man listened quietly and did not speak.

At this time, only Liu Mingjuan did not ask him, and he would not speak even if he was asked to speak.

"Mr. Xu."

The white-haired old man's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Liu Mingjuan just called him and did not start asking questions directly.

He felt that this situation was the most troublesome.

"Please speak, Palace Master Liu." He could only speak like this, and he did not dare to look directly into Liu Mingjuan's eyes.

"How many pieces of Xuan Fu Mu do you think we should take?"

The white-haired old man couldn't help but wonder in his heart when he heard this. You are the Palace Master, so you can decide this yourself. Why are you asking me?

The question has been asked, so he has to answer it.

"I think we should take two pieces of Xuan Fu Mu." After answering, he immediately gave his analysis. "There are only three pieces of Xuan Fu Mu in total, and our Wuyue Palace has three pieces. These cultivators will not say anything on the surface, but they will definitely say that our Wuyue Palace is overbearing and unreasonable. We only take two pieces... Let them fight for the remaining piece. They will be grateful to us because our Wuyue Palace has the strength to take three pieces, but we are merciful and give up one piece..."

The four Yuanying forces in Fanyang Kingdom are all more concerned about their reputation.

Unless the overbearing and overbearing forces have the power to crush other forces, they are likely to be criticized by other cultivators, and may eventually turn into war.

The white-haired old man was just analyzing. He didn't dare to say many things, especially those involving the struggle between the four Yuanying forces, because he had a certain understanding of this information in the Knowledge and Wisdom Pavilion.

The more information he knew, the more insecure he felt.

"Well, you're right." Liu Mingjuan nodded, looking quite satisfied, "We Wuyue Palace wants two pieces, and the remaining piece of Xuanfumu will be fought for by them. Whoever can get it will get it."

When she said the latter, Liu Mingjuan's eyes shone slightly, and she seemed a little excited.

At this moment, the white-haired old man with his head down did not think that his analysis was recognized by the other party. Liu Mingjuan decided to take two pieces of Xuanfumu, probably just wanting to see a group of Jindan cultivators fight for a piece of Xuanfumu, and she was responsible for watching the show on the side.

"Are there any cultivators from Zishan City coming?"

Zishan City is also one of the four Yuanying forces in Fanyang Country.

One city, one palace, one sect, one sect.

This is the name given by the cultivators in the Fanyang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world to the four Yuanying forces. Among them, Zishan City and Wuyue Palace have always had some minor frictions in the past hundred years.

"No." The white-haired old man shook his head. He had never received cultivators from Zishan City. Tianyuan County was still the sphere of influence of Wuyue Palace after all. Because of the relationship between the two Yuanying forces for nearly a hundred years, the cultivators of Zishan City rarely set foot in their territory.

The Shiwen Pavilion is currently spread all over Fanyang Kingdom. No Yuanying forces know that the Wuyue Palace is behind their Shiwen Pavilion.

"That's good."

After the white-haired old man's negative answer, Liu Mingjuan didn't ask any more questions.

Then she briefly learned about other information and left. The most important purpose of her coming here was the birth of Xuanfu Wood in the center of Yulian Island Lake in a few days.

For Yuanying forces, there is never too much Dan-forming spiritual objects.

After the invisible pressure disappeared, the white-haired old man also breathed a sigh of relief. It was during this question and answer that his back was wet.

Fortunately, this ancestor was in a relatively normal mood today.

He decided to take a good rest. Tomorrow, the Knowledge Pavilion would not be open. We would talk about it the day after tomorrow.

Closing for two days is better than closing for one day. Even if something happened in the latter, it is easy to guess that it was on this day. The situation of the two days is a little different.

‘I hope she will not come again next time. ’

The white-haired old man thought to himself and walked into his rest and cultivation room.

…

In the ancestral land of the Hua family.

Two Jindan cultivators talked about the upcoming Jindan spiritual object Xuanfu Wood.

These two Jindan are all the Jindan cultivators of the Hua family. The double Jindan cultivation family is very strong in the three small countries, but in Fanyang country, it is still not enough. There must be at least five Jindan cultivators in the family to have some voice in Fanyang country.

“There are more Jindan cultivators coming for the Jindan spiritual object than expected.” The head of the Hua family couldn’t help but say.

Originally, their main rivals in the fight for the Jindan spiritual object Xuanfu Wood were the Jindan cultivators of Taiji Mountain. Now, less than a month has passed since the birth of the Xuanfu Wood, and they have learned that there are more than five Jindan cultivators.

"The main reason is that the news fell into the hands of Shiwen Pavilion." Hua Wuque shook his head.

As for the Shiwen Pavilion in the county, their Hua family can also learn a lot of information from it, so at the beginning, their attitude towards Shiwen Pavilion was still very welcoming, until this incident happened. If there was no Shiwen Pavilion, there would not be so many Jindan cultivators who got specific information.

"Wuque, do you think there are Yuanying cultivators in Shiwen Pavilion?"

Their Hua family does not know much about Shiwen Pavilion, and many things can only be guessed. In recent years, Shiwen Pavilion has gradually emerged, and there must be cultivators in the late Jindan stage in the pavilion. If there were no cultivators in the late Jindan stage, it would not be possible to become so big now.

The situation of Yuanying-stage cultivators is completely different.

At present, there are only four Yuanying-level forces in Fanyang Country, and the number of Yuanying-level cultivators in these forces is just ten.

"Patriarch, I think there is, at least 80% possibility." Hua Wuque thought about it and said, he really thinks it is very likely, "If there are no Yuanying-level cultivators, it will not exist for long if the Shiwen Pavilion continues to develop like this."

"I don't think so." The head of the Hua family expressed his thoughts, "If there are really Yuanying-level cultivators, the four Yuanying forces will definitely not be able to sit still, and the Shiwen Pavilion should shrink its forces in the future..."

After this incident, as the patriarch of the Hua family, he didn't want to see the Shiwen Pavilion continue to grow bigger and stronger.

"Not only Jindan cultivators, they also attracted a lot of foundation-building cultivators."

"This time the foundation-building cultivators were fooled, and the Shiwen Pavilion earned spirit stones from them, but in the end they got nothing."

Jindan spiritual objects are not so easy to obtain, even for the peak foundation-building cultivators, it is difficult to find leaks, let alone in the current situation.

"There are only three pieces of Xuan Fu wood this time, so the foundation-building cultivators have no chance. Even if there are five or even ten pieces of Xuan Fu wood, they can't do it." The head of the Hua family said that he didn't take these foundation-building cultivators seriously.

Even if they arrived at Yulian Island in the center of Yulian Island Lake, they could only watch from the sidelines. If they wanted to really participate, they had to be at least in the early stage of Jindan.

And there might be risks in watching. If a fight breaks out between Jindan cultivators, the foundation-building cultivators on the side might be affected.

"Wu Que, this time when you go to Yulian Island Lake, in addition to paying attention to the cultivators of Taiji Mountain, you should also pay more attention to other Jindan cultivators. As for the foundation-building cultivators, there is no need to care." The head of the Hua family said his own experience. Normally, you can spend a little energy on the foundation-building cultivators to prevent them from picking up leaks, but now there is no need to spend even a little energy.

"I understand."

Hua Wu Que nodded. As the head of the family said, the situation this time is indeed very different.

If the foundation-building cultivators watching from the side dared to fight for the Jindan spiritual object Xuanfu Wood, they might be severely punished by other Jindan cultivators the moment they made their move.

Only Jindan-level cultivators have a ticket to compete for the three pieces of Xuanfu Wood born in the center of Yulian Island Lake. (End of this chapter)
