Chapter 173: Unlocking the Frozen Plan
Chapter 173: Unlocking the Frozen Plan
"If I leave it to you guys at Qingchong Peak, you can only get one. If I leave it to us, we can get at least two."
Li Shang turned his face away and looked at the old woman with contempt.
"That's right, Miao Ruolan, don't go too far."
When you are beautiful, you can really do whatever you want. Hu Mengxuan dares to say something to anyone she catches.
"We all inherit the eight surnames, so why can't an old woman like me say a few words? How about we have a fight?"
Miao Ruolan, who was covered in spots, looked at Hu Mengxuan's face and wanted to tear her apart. This might be the natural enemy of women at work.
"Humph, I'm not afraid of you. There are four of us now. Do you want to fight in a group, or do you want to fight four of us alone?"
Hu Mengxuan looked at her with contempt, then smiled, revealing a face that enchanted everyone.
"We are both in the Mahayana stage, can't we be open and honest in our actions? Will we be able to fight alone?"
Miao Ruolan also sneered, and the spots on her face trembled along with her smile, which was very scary.
"Humph, there are obviously two of you there, is this considered open?"
Hu Mengxuan didn't fall for her trick at all. She sneered back at her.
"Okay, stop arguing. If you keep arguing, you won't get any conclusion."
The person sitting at the head seat on the dais finally lost his patience and spoke.
"What do you three think?"
"Our Xia family has no say in this matter and dare not say anything."
Xia Zhiyu spoke first, still struggling with the hexagram from the morning, and didn't take anyone's words to heart at all.
"We in the Ji family don't have any ideas."
Ji Tianxing put down the teacup in his hand and spoke softly.
"We in the Lei family don't have any plans, but if he wants to learn the Lingxi clone technique, he can come to our Qinglei Peak and sit with us."
Lei Tianyu spoke silently.
"Lei Tianyu, you want to get a bargain but you're not willing to pay the price? You're just dreaming!"
Jiang Jingtian sneered.
"Clap--"
The man sitting at the top ignored Jiang Jingtian and clapped his hands.
"Okay, okay, among the eight families that inherited the throne, two have given up, leaving six families to compete. Now make your bids."
"Our Jiang family has made great achievements for 600 years."
"Our Hu family has made great achievements for 800 years."
Hu Mengxuan was not willing to be outdone and pressed forward.
"Brother Jiang, I will help you and give you another 600 years of merit."
Li Shang looked at Hu Mengxuan with a playful look on his face.
"Well, I can't beat you, so I'm going to quit."
Seeing that the two families were so powerful and angry, Miao Ruolan had no choice but to retreat.
"Our Duanmu family can only produce meritorious service for 100 years. Sister Hu, you don't have to look at me like that. 100 years is already a lot."
Duanmu Yan, who is old and frail, is not embarrassed at all.
"Brother Lei, you must support your sister. We are only 900 years old now, which is a long way behind."
Hu Mengxuan looked at Lei Tianyu pitifully.
"It depends on whether that kid has the courage to accept this great gift. If he dares to accept it, then my Lei family will pay for 900 years, but if he doesn't dare to accept it, then our Lei family will not pay a penny."
Lei Tianyu stroked his beard, completely unaffected by his charm.
"What a stingy guy! I've read the information just sent to me. That guy is still a virgin. He often goes to the top prostitute of Hongyue Tower. If he seduces a pretty girl a little, he won't let go of his lust on the spot!"
Hu Mengxuan began to persuade him, saying that it was not impossible for her family to fight against the two families, but it was not worth the price of a Lingxi flash in the foundation-building period. Just as Jiang Jingtian said, no man who had reached Qinghu Peak would have the energy to practice, especially this man who visited brothels all day long. Hu Mengxuan had even less confidence in him.
"That's not impossible, but we have to make three rules first. If he dares to take over the Lei surname, we will pay for it. If he doesn't dare, then we will just lend it to you. How about that?"
Lei Tianyu was leisurely and even had time to have a cup of tea.
"Brother, are you going to take advantage of your sister too?"
Hu Mengxuan gave him a resentful look.
"Okay, okay, 1800 to 1200. Does the other party want to make another bid?"
The person at the top was shouting and yelling without any manner, setting the tone.
"Three months. If we don't take it after three months, it will belong to us."
Li Shang completely ignored the person in charge, staring at Lei Yiming and making a face. This little Foundation Establishment cultivator, even though he was a flash of Lingxi, was only worth this price. It was not the time for several families to make a big move. The reason for the offer was to give an explanation to the person in charge. However, just like that, Wang Qiye's fate was determined in these three months.
"Well, yes."
Lei Yiming nodded.
"I don't agree. Brother Lei, please try to get more, for example, one year?"
Hu Mengxuan was afraid that the time was too short and the Lei family wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, Lingxi was just a flash in the pan. It would be a bit of a pity to let her go just like that.
"Okay, it's decided. Let's discuss the next thing."
The person at the top interrupted and made the final decision, without giving the eight people in the audience any extra time.
"I plan to unblock the cold storage plan. How about it? Are you satisfied?"
The man at the top gave a fake smile that he thought could convince everyone, with a gleam in his eyes.
"We naturally agree, but I wonder how many frozen people you plan to unlock this time, Master?"
Xia Zhiyu nodded. In recent years, things have been turbulent and unpredictable. Lingxi Valley should make preparations early to deal with the complicated situation ahead.
“I plan to open them all.”
The man at the top laughed exaggeratedly, his mouth stretched to his ears, and his words also shocked everyone present.
“Isn’t that a bit radical?”
Lei Tianyu stroked his beard and asked tentatively.
"No, not radical at all. The two sword masters of Wanjian Mountain have already left the mountain, and they are only at the level of bodyguards. The Demon Cherry Valley has already crawled out of the ground, and they are not easy to deal with. Skull Mountain has condensed the skulls of 100,000 foundation-building monks and refined them into a blood skull. I believe it is not used for decoration. It is said that the ancestral land of Baima Villa is shining now, and something must be brewing. These are all things on the surface, and we don't know how many shady things are going on in secret that we haven't discovered, so it's not too late to prepare now."
"Are you really not going to leave any for future generations?"
Lei Tianyu frowned and asked tentatively.
"I don't like to hold back when doing things. Let future generations worry about their own affairs."
The leader smiled, and this time his smile was genuine. "After I die, who cares about the raging waves?"
"Ok."
Lei Tianyu sighed. He could already foresee how many monks would die in the upcoming conflict.
Lingxi Valley Ice Project
Find the ten thousand year old ice, give the gifted people time-related magic weapons and secret medicines, drain all their spiritual power, and keep them in cold storage.
This is not without cost. Although refrigeration consumes lifespan more slowly, it does not mean that it will not consume lifespan at all.
Take the foundation-building period as an example. Before freezing, a cultivator in the foundation-building period can normally live for 100 years and die. He still has 200 years to live. If he is not thawed after 30 years of freezing, he will die naturally. If he is frozen for 10 years, he will still have 20 years to live after thawing. However, he has no cultivation at this time, so he cannot absorb spirit stones, which will cause self-destruction. He needs at least 20 years to recover to the peak of the foundation-building period. However, when he is rebuilding, there is no barrier or heavenly tribulation. In this way, he only has 100 years to break through the realm and increase his lifespan. If he does not break through after these 200 years, he will really die. The higher the cultivation, the longer the lifespan. This basically does not require time-related magic weapons or secret medicines to maintain his frozen state, which can save a lot of expenses. But correspondingly, after the thawing, he needs to recover to the peak, which naturally takes longer. During the recovery period of more than - years, whether the sect can hold on until they recover to the peak state is a question mark.
Therefore, if they are not extremely gifted, they are not worth freezing. Even if they are thawed, they are just cannon fodder and are naturally insignificant to the battle situation. Moreover, if they do not have the strength to break through the realm after being thawed, they are not worth freezing. Even if they are thawed and restored to their peak, they only have a few years or more than ten years to live. The opponent only needs to support them to death.
Therefore, in the Ice Peak Project, those who were frozen were all upper realm monks, and lower realm monks only accounted for two-sixths. Time-related magic weapons or secret medicines can only be naturally cultivated, and cannot be cultivated artificially, so they are non-renewable resources and are quite precious. None of the upper realm monks were allocated these things, and even the two-sixths of the lower realm monks, only half of them were allocated time-related magic weapons or secret medicines to maintain the freezing time. And among this half of the lower realm monks, the length of the time-related magic weapons is different, and some of them died of drought and some died of floods. The secrets are even more shocking, making those who hear them cry and those who listen to them ashamed.
Among these people, their talents are not that good, but they are not far behind. There are also a few who have top-notch spiritual roots, and they are also frozen in it. They were just born at the wrong time and happened to meet the more perverted and powerful geniuses of that era. They were suppressed all the time. In order to prevent their Taoism from being broken, they were frozen and staggered in those eras in order to win the next era. People like this are naturally allocated more time-related magic weapons or secret medicines. As for those rumors that the daughter of a certain peak has average qualifications and is allocated a large number of time-related magic weapons or secret medicines, this is purely a rumor to deliberately discredit the freezing plan. Don't believe it. There must be facts and evidence. Wait until she is frozen out, and then everyone can verify whether it is true.
