Chapter 329: 194 These days, any degenerate can cultivate immortality! (Guaranteed updates! Votes for monthly tickets!)”

On Qingyun Mountain, there were quite a few tourists and pilgrims who saw several figures flying on swords, landing directly within Qingyun Mountain.

In the backyard of Qingyun Mountain Taoist Temple, several little Taoists in grey robes froze for a moment as they watched the sudden arrival of the group.

"Who might you be..."

Zhang Jinlong put away his flying sword, waved his hand, and said, "Go, fetch your manager to come here, tell them a Yuxu Mountain official has come to visit."

Hearing Zhang Jinlong’s words, the little grey-robed Taoists gave each other puzzled looks.

Yuxu Mountain?

Who is that?

But since these people had come flying on swords, their status was certainly different, so the little grey-robed Taoists did not dare delay and went to call for the managing Taoist.

Inside Taoist Jing Xuan’s courtyard, Taoist Jing Xuan was currently feeling quite depressed after the interview incident, and his mood was rather poor.

Two disciples came to report from inside the gate, saying that disciples of Yuxu Mountain had come to visit.

"Yuxu Mountain?"

Taoist Jing Xuan was also startled for a moment.

The name sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it.

In his heart, Taoist Jing Xuan thought it was annoying. He was already irritated by Jing Chen messing up the interview, and now some people from Yuxu Mountain had shown up; he had no idea what they wanted.

Taoist Jing Xuan was annoyed.

He had to go over there, and if this turned out to be about nothing serious, Taoist Jing Xuan wouldn’t mind twisting these so-called Yuxu Mountain folks’ heads off!

This is what Taoist Jing Xuan was thinking internally.

But as he followed his disciples to the council hall and truly saw Zhang Jinlong and the others, Taoist Jing Xuan dispelled the gloomy expression on his face.

He said with a smile, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, I’ve heard a few laymen wished to see me? May I know what business you have with poor me?"

Zhang Jinlong looked at Taoist Jing Xuan, sensing the aura around him.

He discovered he couldn’t perceive anything from Taoist Jing Xuan.

Seemed like an ordinary person?

The manager is just a mortal, no wonder this Qingyun Mountain is ranked ninth on the so-called ranking list!

Zhang Jinlong asked, "Are you the manager of this Qingyun Mountain?"

Taoist Jing Xuan nodded, "That is correct. My Taoist name is Jing Xuan. During the Heavenly Master’s seclusion, I am the one who handles all large and small affairs of Qingyun Mountain."

Zhang Jinlong chuckled, "Then this will be easy."

Having said that, Zhang Jinlong took off a jade plaque from his waist and slapped it on the table: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Yuxu Mountain’s official Zhang Jinlong. Taoist, have you heard of Yuxu Mountain?"

Taoist Jing Xuan responded, "Yuxu Mountain? I have not."

Taoist Jing Xuan was an honest man; if he had heard of it, he would say so, and if not, he wouldn’t pretend otherwise.

What was Yuxu Mountain?

He was too busy with the affairs of the Taoist Temple every day, and he still had his own cultivation to attend to. He truly did not know.

Zhang Jinlong was stunned.

Seriously...

This guy is so out of touch he hasn’t heard of Yuxu Mountain?

Zhang Jinlong thought, how can I show off if you don’t even know Yuxu Mountain?

At this moment, he hinted, "In your Mortal World, isn’t there a ranking list compiled by the Grey God’s web? Yuxu Mountain is second on that list!

But that ranking, the recorded data is really unreliable. Yuxu Mountain has been isolated for a hundred years, yet somehow we’re now second, overtaken by some so-called United States Prophet Organization, which is laughable. If Yuxu Mountain were to emerge, it would certainly crush all others and rise to the first place!"

Zhang Jinlong bragged.

Taoist Jing Xuan suddenly remembered, that’s why Yuxu Mountain sounded familiar, from the supernatural power ranking.

That second-ranked power.

Reportedly closed off for a hundred years, it hadn’t emerged for a long time.

Taoist Jing Xuan replied, "So, it’s the Taoist friends from Yuxu Mountain, much blessings. I’m indeed ignorant. But may I know, Taoist friends, what brings you to visit Qingyun Mountain?"

Your Yuxu Mountain is impressive, but did you come all the way to Qingyun Mountain just to boast?

Stop bragging already! Tell me why you’re really here.

Zhang Jinlong said, "This is the situation: on behalf of our sect, we’re venturing out into the world in search of Immortal Seeds. We unexpectedly heard that your Qingyun Mountain recently acquired a huge amount of Spirit Stones, oh! Or as your Mortal World calls it, Earth Vein Essence.

Therefore, we came specially to negotiate a transaction with your esteemed mountain."

"Transaction?"

Taoist Jing Xuan was taken aback for a moment.

What does that mean?

What kind of transaction?

Zhang Jinlong explained, "As long as your mountain is willing to give us half of your Spirit Stones, from now on, our two sects will be in good relations, and Qingyun Mountain will receive the protection of Yuxu Mountain. This deal can’t be a loss for you, can it?"

Hearing Zhang Jinlong’s words, Taoist Jing Xuan looked at him with a shocked gaze.

Holy shit!

Idiot!

In the year 9022, there are still idiots like this in the world?

Taoist Jing Xuan was dumbfounded.

This is outright freeloading, expressed in such a refined and elegant manner.

Protection?

Qingyun Mountain has stood proudly for thousands of years; do we need your so-called Yuxu Mountain’s protection?

As if the purple and red-robed members of Qingyun Mountain are just eating free meals!

However, regarding Zhang Jinlong’s offer, Taoist Jing Xuan was silent for a moment and then agreed.

He said, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, it’s not impossible to part with half of the Earth Vein Essence for your sect. Let’s do this, we’ll base it on market value. Currently, one piece of Earth Vein Essence can sell for about 500 million Dragon Country currency. If you want to buy half, how about starting with a down payment of 50 trillion? Shall we discuss further then?"

trillion!

Zhang Jinlong was suddenly choked up.

Where would he get so much money?

He gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Taoist, you might have misunderstood. My meaning is, between our two sects, let’s not talk about money, let’s keep the relationship purer, with Yuxu Mountain offering protection to Qingyun Mountain..."

Taoist Jing Xuan responded, "Oh, no money, huh... Without money, what are you here to talk about?"

Taoist Jing Xuan looked at Zhang Jinlong with a disdainful gaze.

Poor and pretentious. If you have the money, you buy; if not, why pretend?
