651: Chapter 651 Can Cure
Liu Xuan haggled with True Monarch Tachuan and finally decided to wholesale the essence of taisui at 90% of the market price.
In order to obtain more essence of taisui, True Monarch Tachuan even promised Liu Xuan that he could help him obtain rare Spirit Medicine and spiritual materials for refining high-grade Beast Pills from the Central State.
In addition, he was not only interested in the essence of taisui, but also very interested in the local specialties of the Southern Border Yao Race, wanting to get a share of the trade between the Southern Border Yao Race and Liu Xuan.
After sending True Monarch Tachuan away, Liu Xuan shook his head and said: "The Dao Court is indeed the Dao Court; the Southern Border Yao Race is already on the verge of war, yet they seem not to take it seriously at all!"
Judging from True Monarch Tachuan's series of actions, the high-level officials of the Dao Court clearly did not regard the Southern Border Yao Race as a crisis.
"In the eyes of the Dao Court's high-level officials, probably only Great Sage Taisui and Great Sage Golden Toad count as figures, while the rest of the Southern Border Yao Race are just rabble. Compared to the possible upcoming war, they are more concerned about whether there is any profit to be made."
"If it weren't for the abnormal movement of Spiritual Qi in the Southern Border, the Dao Court probably wouldn't bother to care even if the Southern Border Yao Race turned the world upside down."
This was a good thing!
After figuring out the Dao Court's attitude, Liu Xuan's tense mind relaxed a lot.
The higher the posture of the Dao Court, the harder it is to break the current stalemate.
The Dao Court is too lazy to take action, and Great Sage Taisui does not dare to take action easily, so the stable situation can last for a long time.
...
A year later.
The Dao Court and the Beast Taming Sect continued to send Cultivators to the Southern Border, causing the number of Cultivators in the entire Azure Profound Sect and the Southern Border Beast Taming Sect to increase nearly tenfold, and the major immortal cultivation cities were bustling.
The increase in the number of Cultivators led to the continuous price increase of various cultivation resources such as Immortal Caves, Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, and Talismans, and the pressure of survival continued to rise.
Once the pressure increased, war was inevitable, and the Endless Demon Court where Demon Saint Xuanyu was located suddenly became a vent for the pressure.
The Endless Demon Court was originally the agreed battlefield for the Pioneering War, and starting a war would not affect the overall situation.
On the side of the Southern Border Yao Race, Great Sage Taisui also wanted to train troops through a local battlefield, and by the way, establish his own prestige.
Therefore, the remaining half of the territory of the Endless Demon Court tacitly became a battlefield that satisfied multiple forces, and the war continued in a stable and restrained state.
Countless low-level Yao Race and low-level Cultivators fought on this vast battlefield, and their lives, flesh, blood, and souls... were divided into two parts, one part belonging to Great Sage Taisui, and the other part belonging to the Southern Border Beast Taming Sect and the Dao Court.
The war seemed intense, but in fact, it was very stable. With the Liu Family as a buffer, neither the Southern Border Yao Race nor the Central State Dao Court had any intention of expanding the conflict for the time being.
Endless Demon Court.
Black Mountain Holy Land.
A red glow lit up on the horizon, turning into a huge fire cloud. It got closer and closer, and finally turned into a huge great sun warship, stopping not far from Black Mountain.
The gentle sunlight shone on the earth, making the Black Snake Tribe, who were accustomed to the dark and humid environment, feel slightly uncomfortable.
However, no one dared to have any opinions, because this was the iconic fourth-grade great sun warship of the Liu Clan. Apart from their Old Ancestor, no one was qualified to jump out and oppose them when they dared to come here directly.
Liu Xuan walked out of the great sun warship accompanied by a tall young girl wearing a tight black leather skirt. After looking around, he smiled and said:
"Is this the Black Mountain Holy Land of the Endless Demon Court? It doesn't look like much!"
Except for a fifth-grade Low Grade Spiritual Vein underground and a higher concentration of Spiritual Qi, the scenery here is really bad.
This so-called Black Mountain Holy Land is bare, without even a tree, and the surrounding environment is dark and humid, with a gloomy feeling.
The tall young girl in the black leather skirt next to him curled her lips and said: "Young Master is a Human Race Cultivator, so naturally you feel that this place is average, but in the eyes of our Black Snake Tribe, this is the paradise we yearn for in this life!"
The girl's name was Mo Rao, the young descendant with the best talent in the Black Snake Tribe. Not long ago, she was sent to Liu Xuan as a maid by the Black Snake Tribe on the grounds of communicating with the Merchant Alliance.
Mo Rao's Bloodline grade was as high as fourth-grade Medium Grade, and she was extremely exquisite in appearance, extremely enchanting in figure, and had a natural Lingxiu aura. Liu Xuan reluctantly accepted her.
Liu Xuan looked at the towering Black Mountain shrouded in Demonic Qi in front of him and asked the girl: "Your Old Ancestor said he wanted to give this Black Mountain Holy Land to me, is it true or false?"
A few days ago, Demon Saint Xuanyu suddenly sent a message to Liu Xuan, saying that he wanted to give him the Black Mountain Holy Land, which was why he came to see it in person.
"This servant does not know!"
Mo Rao is currently only an Early Golden Core Stage great Yao, how could she know about such level of issues?
"Fellow Daoist Liu, please come in for a chat!"
Just as Liu Xuan was sightseeing, a familiar old voice came from the top of the Black Mountain shrouded in demon mist. It was Demon Saint Xuanyu.
Liu Xuan was not afraid at all. Holding Mo Rao's small hand, he stepped leisurely towards the top of the mountain. Although it looked like he was just stepping slowly, the two of them had a feeling of traveling through dimensional space, and they arrived at the main hall on the top of the mountain in a moment.
Similar to most Yao Race buildings in the Southern Border, the exterior of the Black Mountain Holy Land palace was somewhat similar to the Human Race palace, but it was rougher and not as exquisite.
Overall, it was not bad. For Liu Xuan, who was used to living in luxurious palaces, this place had a different kind of novelty.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I won't beat around the bush with you. I can give you the Black Mountain Holy Land, but you only need to agree to one small condition of mine." Demon Saint Xuanyu's voice sounded first, and then his figure slowly condensed in front of Liu Xuan.
"Oh?"
"I wonder what the condition is?"
Liu Xuan reached out and pulled Mo Rao, who was subconsciously preparing to salute Demon Saint Xuanyu, into his arms.
Demon Saint Xuanyu seemed not to see Liu Xuan's actions and smiled: "Actually, it's not a condition I'm giving, it's a condition that Great Sage Taisui asked me to inform you."
"As long as you take the essence of taisui, not only will this Black Mountain Holy Land belong to your Liu Family, but Great Sage Taisui will also do everything possible to help you advance to Spirit Transformation Dao Lord."
"Heh~" Liu Xuan laughed and said coldly: "Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think I'm easy to manipulate?!"
"The Black Mountain Holy Land was originally my Liu Family's, I just didn't want it for the time being, why do I need you to give it to me?!"
Liu Xuan glanced at Demon Saint Xuanyu, "If you don't have any sincerity, just compensate me for the travel expenses, and I won't hold you accountable for today's matter!"
Demon Saint Xuanyu was not angry. On the contrary, even the gloomy temperament he once had disappeared, and he looked like a kind old man.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, don't be impatient. I'm just passing the message on your behalf. You just need to know it; whether you agree or not is another matter."
Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to signal Mo Rao to go play on the side first, and then said to Demon Saint Xuanyu: "Is the control of the essence of taisui so strong? That even you, a Demon Saint, can only obey?"
Demon Saint Xuanyu's expression changed suddenly, his vertical pupils became gloomy and evil again, and his voice became hoarse, "Fellow Daoist Liu, some things are better if you know them in your heart. Saying them out loud is not good for anyone!"
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient!"
"I might be able to cure your condition!"
Hearing Liu Xuan's words, Demon Saint Xuanyu's eyes immediately became clear.
