"Na Dan, has it ever been refined?"
"No, if it's that simple, how can it be called a peerless elixir."
"Alchemy is even more elusive than cultivating the Tao. A person, even if he is lacking in talent, will always be diligent in his practice, but he will fail from time to time in alchemy. The more complicated and powerful the alchemy, the easier it is to fall short."
Zong Zixiao nodded in agreement.
"Many secret alchemy techniques of sects are successful after countless failures. Even if Juling Villa comes to refine their best alchemy, accidents may happen." Zong Ziheng frowned deeply, "If you insist on Refining this elixir, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time and money, if it fails many times, is it necessary to squander the wealth of the immortals?"
"So what." Zong Zixiao smiled disdainfully.
Zong Ziheng said in a deep voice: "If you can't make it no matter what, do you really want to take the human pill?"
"Haven't I taken it?"
"Zong Zixiao, have you seen what you have become now!" Zong Ziheng only felt heartbroken. His little Jiu was a bit stubborn and arrogant, but he was by no means a cold-blooded and cruel Pill Stealing Demon Cultivator. He would rather... rather It's better for Xiaojiu to die than to become the demon king who kills without blinking an eye!
Zong Zixiao sneered: "I became like this because I have a good elder brother. He taught me etiquette, righteousness and shame, and taught me to be good, but he has done the most shameless, despicable and vicious things in the world. Hypocrites who talk about benevolence and morality are really disgusting, I would rather be a bad person frankly."
Zong Ziheng's body trembled, his shoulders collapsed as if he was overwhelmed, and his face was ashamed.
"Even if you empty out the entire world of cultivating immortals, you must refine pills for me. If you still can't practice, I will dig out all of their pills." The evil spirits that come out are nothing more than that. He admired Zong Ziheng's fear and pain, and obtained twisted pleasure.
In fact, he has never eaten a human pill. Ever since he went out with his eldest son Heng when he was eight years old, and almost died under the sword of the pill-stealing demon cultivator, he has been extremely contemptuous of the pill-stealing thief, and Lu Zhaofeng's appearance has deepened his embarrassment. hate. He asked the Yin soldiers to poach the pills of all the monks of Wuyunmen, so that they would never be able to form pills forever, which was the punishment for the thief who stole the pills. Those who were unwilling to submit to Lu Zhaofeng, such as his third sister's family, had already been killed, and none of the rest were innocent.
Even before Lu Zhaofeng died, he dug out his own pill and gave it to him to eat, but he would not give it a second thought.
But he didn't have to explain it to anyone, and even if he explained it, no one would believe it. Fear is the best rule, let the world fear.
Zong Ziheng looked out of the window blankly: "Zong Zixiao, you have gone against the grain and become an enemy of the world, and sooner or later you will pay the price."
"As long as I possess supreme power, no one can do anything to me." Zong Zixiao walked towards his eldest brother, put his arms around his thin waist from behind, and pressed against his ears, his voice was hoarse and dangerous, "You also Same. Do you think I don't know that you are secretly attacking the spiritual veins? Even if you unblock the spiritual veins, so what? You can't beat me, are you planning to sneak attack?"
Zong Ziheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Well, a sneak attack is a way." Zong Zixiao lightly licked the big brother's ear with the tip of his tongue, "The taste of big brother is really ecstasy, I want to stick in it forever." He let out a series of frivolous words She smiled, "If you sneak up on me while we're lingering, you might succeed."
Zong Ziheng had already defended against his usual humiliation, and said lightly: "Since you are so sure, I will never be able to hurt you, why don't you break my seal."
"There is a poisonous snake sleeping next to my pillow, how can I let it go?" Zong Zixiao turned his elder brother's face, kissed the cool and soft lips, "You should spend less useless thoughts."
Zong Ziheng turned his face away.
Zong Zixiao tore off his collar with his teeth, and nibbled at the long, snow-white neck that exudes the faint fragrance of orchids: "This color really matches your skin tone. My eldest brother has loved wearing white since I was a child, but I want you to do it for me." Wear red."
As soon as the words fell to the ground, the two of them froze at the same time, because it sounded too much like a romantic and charming love word, like a person proposing to his beloved, and willingly put on the red makeup of the prosperous age for him.
This sentence is so inappropriate, at this time, this place, neither of these two people is suitable.
Zong Zixiao felt a little regretful, but he inadvertently expressed his longing for many years, and he unconsciously brought expectations, wanting to see something from his elder brother's face.
It's a pity that this face is dead and silent, and it is so beautiful that people love it and hate it.
Disappointment filled his chest, Zong Zixiao hugged the man in his arms tightly, he thought viciously, whether you care about me or not, you are mine! —
In the past few days, Zong Ziheng had been looking for an opportunity to meet Xu Zhinan and Li Buyu alone. After he found that meeting secretly was not feasible, he thought about how to use persuasion as an excuse to get Zong Zixiao to allow them to meet.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned it, Zong Zixiao agreed, but there was a request that he could only see one person at a time.
Zong Ziheng couldn't help sighing secretly at his scheming. Xu Zhinan and Li Buyu are polite on the surface, but in fact they have their own agendas. These two people alone can never cooperate without reservation, but it will be different if Zong Ziheng is around, and Zong Zixiao will not give them this opportunity .
So Zong Ziheng first summoned Xu Zhinan, the person he most wanted to see was Xu Zhinan, and only Xu Zhinan could help him turn the situation around.
The two haven't seen each other for only a year, but the world of cultivating immortals has been turned upside down, and each other's faces are deeply tired.
"Dijun." Xu Zhinan bowed, "To see Dijun again, really..."
"Brother Xu." Zong Ziheng supported Xu Zhinan, "There are no outsiders here, so you and I shouldn't be too formal."
Xu Zhinan let out a long sigh: "During the past few months, Dijun dealt with Zongzi Xiao alone, and lost a lot of weight."
Zong Ziheng said dejectedly: "If you want to seek skin from a tiger, you can only drag out an existence."
"If the emperor is alive, we have hope. Zongzixiao has driven us to a dead end, and we can only resist desperately."
"Everyone understands this truth, but it is not easy to unite the entire world of cultivating immortals." Zong Ziheng smiled wryly, "I, Zong Ziheng, have a bad reputation, have no supporters inside, and have no support from the people outside, and now I am still defeated by Zongzi Xiaojian." Next, even if I want to, I'm afraid I won't be able to."
"Emperor, don't think so. In the past, we were able to fight against the Wuyunmen together because the Wuyunmen destroyed humanity and became a demon sect of stealing pills. They killed many monks and attracted the same hatred in the world of cultivating immortals. Now the threat of Zongzixiao Compared with Wuyun Sect, it is better than Wuyun Sect, but he has no enmity with the immortals. Most of the sects are afraid of his Tianji Talisman and only want to save money and avoid disaster. Zong Zixiao gnawed until there were no bones left. Now the world of cultivating immortals is falling apart, but you are still there, the emperor is still there, and only you can order the world in a legitimate way."
Zong Ziheng shook his head slowly: "Even if I have the support of you and the Wuliang Sect, I may not be able to command those many immortal families."
"It's not possible now, because they haven't learned enough lessons." Xu Zhinan said solemnly, "This time, on the way here, Li Buyu and I have actually negotiated to pay a part of the tribute and stabilize the devil first. He will sooner or later I will ask us for annual offerings again, once, twice, three times, and the world of cultivating immortals will definitely awaken. At that time, if it is from the inside of Wuji Palace, and from the side of Zong Zixiao, it will definitely give confidence to the world of cultivating immortals. The emperor raised his arms and shouted, We will follow through life and death, and eradicate the demon cultivators."
Zong Ziheng's face was tense, his eyes looked blankly at the void, and he remained silent for a long time.
Whether Zong Zixiao squeezed the world of cultivating immortals dry, or the world of cultivating immortals wiped out Zong Zixiao, he would never want to see it. Zong Zixiao humiliated and tortured him to the utmost, but because of his affection and guilt for Xiao Jiu, he couldn't hate him anyway.
He didn't want Zong Zixiao to die, even if there was no shadow of Xiao Jiu on that person at all, he still couldn't forget the Unrivaled Demon Venerable, who made the world fearful in his midnight dream, huddled in his arms and cried "Big Brother". His heart was crushed repeatedly, but he still couldn't be ruthless.
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't think of a solution to both.
"Emperor." Xu Zhinan said softly, "Emperor?"
Zong Ziheng looked at Xu Zhinan silently, his eyes seemed to be filled with unresolved pain.
Xu Zhinan was also silent, and after a long while, he said: "Could it be that the emperor still cares about the brotherhood."
This sentence was like a sharp sword piercing the heart, Zong Ziheng's face turned pale, he opened his mouth, and he was speechless.
"He's not your brother anymore." Xu Zhinan said again.
"I know."
"We must prevent him from overthrowing the entire world of cultivating immortals."
"I know." Zong Ziheng suppressed the sharp pain in his heart, "When the time is right, I will personally... clean up the house." If they can defeat Zong Zixiao, he will definitely gain his prestige through this battle. Maybe at that time, he will have The ability to save the life of Zong Zixiao. Will this be their only hope
Xu Zhinan sighed: "I will also persuade Mengsheng to bear it for a while."
Zong Ziheng nodded: "She is arrogant and stubborn, I'm afraid only you can persuade her."
"I'm not sure either." Xu Zhinan laughed at himself, "The whole world of cultivating immortals is not as hard as the female cultivators of Cang Yu Sect. Now that I'm kneeling on the ground, it's not easy to stand up in the future."
"Cangyu Sect does have the capital to be tough, but if it really offends him, I'm afraid it will..." Zong Ziheng said worriedly, "You should persuade Qi Mengsheng as soon as possible, otherwise, he will go to Kunlun sooner or later to make an example."
"I see."
"One more thing, I need Brother Xu to help me."
"My lord please speak.
"I want to send Zhongming to be raised by my fifth brother, so that he can stay away from right and wrong places and right and wrong people." Zong Ziheng said sadly.
"Alright. If there is anything Dijun wants me to do, just ask."
"I'll find a way to let you know when it's ready."
