Lin Zu would not interfere too much in such small matters. Since Shi Jian was unwilling to leave with him now, let him go.

Besides, what Shi Jian said was right. It was just a matter of waiting for a while...

As if he had thought of something, Lin Zu looked in the direction of Kunlun, a faint smile on his lips, his eyes full of deep meaning.

"Shi Jian, what is the bait that Kunlun threw out that makes you so excited?

I heard that Kunlun Sect Master's disciple Gu Yue is in her prime, could it be that the old man offered you his disciple in exchange for your favor? "

"Pfft!"

As soon as Shi Jian heard this, before he could react, Li Yingqi on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing.

“Ahem, what did Lin Zu say? Shi Jian would not make such a decision for a woman, not to mention that Gu Yue just had some interactions with the disciple.

As for the price Kunlun paid, I wonder if Lin Zu knows the spirit of thunder?"

Hearing the word Lei Ling, even though Lin Zu was already a top existence at the peak of the Yuanshen realm, he still couldn't help but take a breath.

"I never thought that Kunlun would have such a good thing as the Thunder Spirit. No wonder you wouldn't refuse it...

Well, if Kunlun can really pay the price of the Thunder Spirit, Maoshan will not embarrass Kunlun in the future."

After another conversation, Shi Jian left the underworld. Anyway, the Seventh Ancestor and the others had already settled in the City of the Dead, so he didn't need to worry too much about what would happen next. Even if the underworld was turned upside down, the Seventh Ancestor would still be there to support it. Now was the time to go to Kunlun.

.........................................................

That night, two streams of light headed straight for Kunlun. Kunlun is located in the center of Dali and is the highest mountain and the most blessed land in Dali.

Along the way, there were almost no demons causing trouble in the territory, so Shi Jian and Li Yingqi's journey was extremely smooth.

Half a month later.

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Two figures walked slowly up the mountain road. The girl in front looked a little lively. She held a three-foot green sword in her left hand, and her right hand was waving in the air, letting the breeze blow on her palm and feeling the freedom of the wind.

The man behind walked with steady steps, and every move he made seemed to merge into one with the world, making people feel a sense of vastness.

"Master, I didn't expect the scenery of Kunlun Mountain is quite good. It is not inferior to Maoshan at all!"

With the breeze blowing, the flowers all over the mountains and fields stirred up waves of floral fragrance. Being in such a situation, a girl like Li Yingqi must have felt it was extremely wonderful.

As for Shi Jian, his expression was calm.

"No matter how beautiful the scenery of the secular world is, it still requires great strength to protect it. Kunlun is now strong on the outside but weak on the inside. How long can such scenery last?"

Shi Jian's words were light and casual, but Li Yingqi frowned repeatedly as he listened.

At this moment, a charming fragrance blew towards me from a distance.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Jian has come from afar, and I am a little neglectful in coming here to greet you just now.

But Daoyou is right. No matter how beautiful the scenery of Kunlun is, it needs people to protect it. Daoyou's words really enlighten me. I just don't know if you think Kunlun has the ability to protect it!"

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful figure slowly descended from the void, her long skirt fluttering in the wind, and her heroic posture made people feel refreshed.

"Senior Gu Yue!"

Li Yingqi couldn't believe his eyes. He didn't expect that Senior Gu Yue would come to them so quickly. From what he said, it seemed that he came to greet them.

"Yingqi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still smiling all the time, unlike your master who always has a sullen face. If it weren't for the temptation of profit, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to come to my Kunlun as a guest."

The Gu Yue now no longer has the inferiority complex he once had. The way and tone of his speech last time was only because he had to ask Shi Jian to visit Kunlun, but now he showed the attitude that a successor to the headmaster should have!

Hearing the other party teasing him, Shi Jian remained calm.

"Aren't you afraid that I will leave Kunlun now?"

"You will not……"

Shi Jian's question and Gu Yue's answer seemed to be in sync with each other, but soon Shi Jian turned around and walked away.

Seeing this, Gu Yue was finally defeated.

"Hey, hey, hey, fellow Taoist, please stay!"

After hearing this, Shi Jian stopped. Gu Yue wanted to fight with him, but he was still a little shallow.

"It's true that strength determines status. It's fine that you are stronger than me, but you are also an elder in the Maoshan Patriarch's Hall and you are not even a hundred years old. I don't think it's a big deal if I lose to you...

Daoist Fellow Shi Jian, isn't that right?"

Li Yingqi on the side was watching intently, but the smile on her face represented her thoughts at the moment.

These were just minor episodes. An incense stick later, at the main peak of Kunlun, in the master's hall, most of the elders of the Kunlun sect had already arrived.

"My fellow elders, the young man from Mount Mao is about to arrive. Don't weaken the reputation of Kunlun and make others laugh at you."

As Yuxuzi spoke first, the elders below had different expressions. Some remained curious. After all, they had only heard of Shi Jian's name but had never seen him. So all kinds of news had been circulating a long time ago, proving this man's patience and talent, but no one dared to believe it was true without seeing him in person.

“Don’t worry, Master. No matter how capable Shi Jian is, he is still an elder of the Maoshan Patriarchal Hall, so he shouldn’t be that bad. Since Maoshan has agreed to let him visit Kunlun, the easing of relations between the two sects is a foregone conclusion.

We can use the Thunder Spirit to exchange for peace. As long as the goal is achieved, we will not interfere too much in other matters."

The elder who said this was also standing on the interests of Kunlun Sect. Regardless of whether Shi Jian really possessed the status of a primordial spirit as rumored, since Maoshan did not stop Shi Jian, they basically acquiesced to this transaction.

In this case, Shi Jian’s talent becomes less important.

"Junior Brother Liu is right, but I think Shi Jian's reputation is not in vain. Maoshan cannot afford to lose face like this. From the information we know so far, this person must be an outstanding person!
But no matter what, as long as we are polite and offer the Thunder Spirit, it will be a success if Maoshan will not be attacked from behind in the future."

The other elders also started discussing the issue. They all had different opinions, but there was one thing that everyone agreed on.

That is Shi Jian's arrival, which is beneficial to Kunlun in every way.

Hearing these discussions, Yuxuzi smiled faintly. This was exactly the result he wanted. As long as these elders had nothing to say, this transaction with Maoshan would be inevitable!

"Master, the disciple is back!"

The originally noisy hall was filled with noise, but then an ethereal voice came into the hall. All the elders of Kunlun sect changed their expressions and the hall became quiet in an instant.

Then, Gu Yue took the lead and walked into the hall first, while Shi Jian and Li Yingqi followed behind her. As soon as they entered the hall, countless eyes were focused on Shi Jian. Obviously, these elders of Kunlun also wanted to see what this rumored Yuanshen looked like.

Shi Jian did not hesitate to hide this. His purpose of coming here, besides obtaining the Thunder Spirit, was also to let Kunlun know that compared with Kunlun, Maoshan had successors!
Countless eyes swept over, and then all the elders of Kunlun Sect were almost stunned.

They actually saw it.

It is precisely because I saw it with my own eyes that the inner surprise in my heart was so prominent.

He was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, less than a hundred years old, and was about to touch the Spirit Transformation stage. They had never heard of such a talent before. Moreover, even though he was dozens of meters away, his aura was steady, but the thunderous intent within him made people feel frightened.

"monster!"

I don’t know which elder couldn’t help but blurt out the word “monster”.

Yuxuzi, who was sitting in the first seat, felt a little embarrassed. He knew that his fellow disciples would be surprised, but there was no need for him to be so surprised, right?

"Cough cough!"

The sound of Yuxuzi pretending to cough immediately woke up all the elders of Kunlun. Their faces turned slightly red and they no longer looked at Shi Jian.

"My disciple Gu Yue, I'm glad you're back. This must be Elder Shi from Maoshan, right?

Elder Shi has come from afar. Logically, I should have brought all the elders from Kunlun to greet him personally. Unfortunately, I am too busy preparing for the banquet. I hope Elder Shi will not blame me. "

These are just words, Shi Jian understands, and the elders of Kunlun also understand.

Although Kunlun has declined now, it was once one of the five palaces of Taoism. Although it does not want to admit it, the arrogance it once had still exists in its bones.

For Kunlun, it was too insulting for him, a dignified head sect leader, to personally go and greet Shi Jian with the elders of the sect.

If Shi Jian was a cultivator above the Spiritual Transformation Realm, perhaps they would have really surrendered...

However, Shi Jian didn't care about these. The purpose of his trip was Lei Ling.

The other party wants face and the last bit of pride, but these things are illusory and dispensable. Shi Jian doesn't care, and he can't have everything. Kunlun just wants to give them face.

Shi Jian took a step forward slowly. His footsteps were light, but they could be heard clearly in the hall.

"I am Shi Jian. Master Yuxuzi must be joking. Although I am an elder in the Maoshan Patriarch's Hall, I am only a hundred years old. In fact, I am an old acquaintance of Taoist Gu Yue. How can I let Master Yuxuzi bring a group of Kunlun elders to welcome me?"

The opportunity has been given, and both sides are just taking advantage of it.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right!

Although Elder Shi is less than a hundred years old, he has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and achieved the state of Yang Spirit Out of Body. This kind of talent is unprecedented in history. It is really enviable that fellow Taoist comes from Maoshan.

Now that fellow Taoist is willing to come to visit Kunlun, Kunlun will certainly not be stingy!

Come on, bring in our Kunlun's gifts!"

Yuxuzi knew Shi Jian and he was not the kind of person who liked to procrastinate.

Since the other party has already come to Kunlun, it means that both sides are sincere. Even if this is just a formality, it will be a great advertisement for both factions.

There's no point in hiding things. Just give the other person something they're interested in, and you'll be able to make more friends!

Hearing this, several elders of Kunlun, who had been well prepared, walked into the hall with a smile. In the center of them, in a cage gathered with true energy, a pure thunder force was shaking continuously.

Shi Jian's expression suddenly changed. He had to admit that Yuxuzi was very much to his liking.

“Is this Lei Ling?”

Shi Jian was a little excited. Although this was the first time he saw a rare creature like the Thunder Spirit, the extremely pure power of thunder made Shi Jian feel so wonderful.

He had a hunch that if he could obtain this Thunder Spirit, it would not take long for him to break through the bottleneck of the God Transformation and achieve true God Transformation!

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Even Shi Jian had to admit at this moment that it was a good decision to come to Kunlun.

Yuxuzi grabbed with his big hand, and Lei Ling immediately fell into his palm. Then, he looked at Shi Jian with a smile.

“Elder Shi, I have long heard that you practice thunder magic, and your attainments in thunder magic are unfathomable. This thunder spirit was obtained by chance by Kunlun. There is no one who practices thunder magic in Kunlun. Today, you happened to come to Kunlun as a guest. I am not a stingy person in Kunlun. This thunder spirit is destined to be with you, so I will give it to you today!”

After saying that, Yuxuzi didn't hesitate and waved his hand lightly. The Thunder Spirit landed in front of Shi Jian and floated in the air.

Shi Jian slowly stretched out his finger, and the moment it touched Lei Ling, Lei Ling immediately flew into Shi Jian's dantian.

A pure force of thunder exploded instantly. The overwhelming momentum made Shi Jian's whole body shake. He felt as if he was in a sea of ​​thunder.

This change was unexpected to everyone, even the many elders of Kunlun did not know that this would happen.

There was no way. Kunlun had never paid attention to Lei Ling. After all, there were no Lei Fa practitioners at the Spiritualization Realm...

Seeing Shi Jian's face becoming more and more distorted and his body shaking more and more, even Yuxuzi became a little panicked.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, a faint voice came from the direction of the Kunlun Mountains.

"Don't worry, the Thunder Spirit is a rare treasure in the world, and this kid seems to have a connection with it...

But how great is Lei Ling’s power?
It's a bit risky after all.

Let’s find a secluded place and let him refine it first!”

"We will obey our ancestor's orders!"

The person who spoke was none other than Kunlun Patriarch. Only after hearing these words did Yuxuzi react.

"Elder Shi, please follow me!"

As Yuxuzi left, Shi Jian also endured the violent impact and turned into a stream of light and followed closely behind.

After a while, the hall was filled with chatter and noise.

Today's matter is not simple. If Shi Jian really gets into trouble in Kunlun, the Maoshan monster will come down, which would be counterproductive.

At this moment, Li Yingqi, as a disciple, was also extremely anxious...
