"Heavenly Star Lock?"
When Daoist Master Xuan Yuan heard this, he was a little confused … He seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but he could not remember it. It seemed that he did not pay much attention to it back then.
"Heavenly Star Mansion?"
However, an old man beside him muttered. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. "Could it be …"
He did not finish his sentence. Instead, he threw a look at Daoist Master Xuan Yuan.
As fellow disciples for almost 100 years, the tacit understanding between them was not something that could be said for nothing. Daoist Master Xuan Yuan immediately understood … He did not explicitly object to Qin Fang's decision before, but now, he fully supported it.
"Old geezer Tang, do you agree or not? Give me a straightforward answer … Why are you acting like a woman when you're old?"
Qin Fang was only tempting him, and his words were reasonable. However, Daoist Master Xuan Yuan did not have anything good to say. "Alright, my Kunlun Sect will offer two White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pills!
No, let's fight … "
'Alright, this old geezer is even using threats …'
"You dare?"
Tang Jianming was instantly enraged by Daoist Master Xuan Yuan's threats. He released an extremely terrifying aura …
"I don't dare?"
Daoist Master Xuan Yuan was not someone to be trifled with. The tyrannical aura of a late-stage Supreme immediately burst out and directly suppressed Tang Jianming's aura.
Buzz!
Both of them were top-notch late-stage Supreme experts. Although they did not directly fight and only competed with their auras, it was still extremely terrifying … Almost instantly, a strong and violent force shook the air.
Such a terrifying blast of energy directly blew away all the experts below the Supreme Realm, mainly the remaining experts from the Tang Sect, and they were all blown away. They were forced to retreat more than ten meters before they could stabilize themselves.
On Qin Fang's side, other than Qin Fang, everyone else was a Supreme. The biting cold force caused their clothes to tremble violently, and they vaguely felt like they were about to be blown into pieces by the strong wind.
Qin Fang was the weakest on their side, but with an old monster like Daoist Master Xuan Yuan protecting him, he would not be at a disadvantage at this time … Moreover, Qin Fang still had many trump cards that he had not used yet.
The collision between the two top experts was only a dispute of personal feelings. There was no need to directly fight.
"Uncle …"
Tang Ao could not help but call out at this time.
If the two sides really fought, the Tang Sect would definitely be at a disadvantage …
Although the Tang Sect only had four Supreme-Being experts, more Supreme-Being experts would come out of seclusion in the future. After all, this was the ancestral land of the Tang Sect. Who knew how many old monsters had been hiding in seclusion for decades? This was also the reason why Grand Elder Xuan Yuan wasn't willing to fight to the death even though he knew that he had a huge advantage in a six versus four situation. Instead, he chose to exchange benefits.
Two White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pills were basically equivalent to two Supreme-Being experts … Even though they had just entered the Supreme-Being realm, so their strength might be slightly weaker, they were still Supreme-Being experts. This would greatly increase the strength and foundation of the Tang Sect.
As for the Heavenly Star Lock …
It had actually been decades since anyone had touched that thing!
Who knew how much dust it would have eaten in the treasury by now...
Many of the Tang Sect's heroes had spent a lot of time trying to break it, but without exception, all of them had failed!
Since there was no benefit in keeping it, it was better to use it to exchange for two White Tiger Heavenly Pills and increase the Tang Sect's strength by two Supreme experts!
In fact, Tang Jianming had been hesitating in his heart.
There seemed to be a voice saying, "Hand it over to them in exchange for two White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pellets and two more Supreme-Being experts. The Tang Sect will be able to recover for at least a few decades … Who asked the Tang Sect to suffer such great losses today!"
Another voice said, "If this kid with the surname Qin is really a descendant of the Heavenly Star Mansion and unlocked the secret of the Heavenly Star Lock, it's very likely that the Heavenly Star Mansion's terrifying power in the past will reappear … Given the hostile relationship between the two sides, it's hard to guarantee that this kid won't come to the Tang Sect to seek revenge in the future!"
These two voices and two thoughts were also fighting fiercely in Tang Jianming's mind!
Until …
Tang Ao's reminder became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Tang Jianming finally made a decision!
"Okay, I agree …"
Hearing Tang Jianming's words, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief … Whether it was the people on the Tang Sect's side or Qin Fang's side, no one wanted things to develop to that point.
Since Tang Jianming was willing to agree, everyone was naturally happy.
The powerhouses on the Tang Sect's side did not have to worry about being killed by the other party's supreme powerhouses.
On the other hand, Qin Fang and the others did not have to worry about the Tang Sect's desperate counterattack and causing an irreconcilable feud between the Tang Sect and the Kunlun Sect …
"Elder Tang, please …"
Qin Fang revealed a bright smile on his face and gestured very politely.
"Old Tang, here are the medicinal pills!"
Elder Xuanyuan took out a small jade bottle from his bosom and poured out two medicinal pills from it …
This scene also caused Tang Jianming's expression to change slightly as if he felt that Elder Xuanyuan had long prepared for this …
"Don't think too much!
Although the Kunlun Sect's alchemy skills are the best in the martial arts world, the materials needed to refine the White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pill are too precious. These two pills are almost the last of the Kunlun Sect's pills! "
Noticing the change in Tang Jianming's expression, Elder Xuanyuan calmly explained. If he did not make things clear, Tang Jianming might just go back on his words … Based on his understanding of Tang Jianming for over a hundred years, he was definitely capable of doing such a thing.
"Originally, I only wanted to take out one pill this time and leave the other one for this kid …"
As for why he happened to have two pills, Elder Xuanyuan also explained clearly.
"Mm!"
Tang Jianming snorted softly as if he agreed with Elder Xuanyuan's explanation.
Qin Fang was now a half-step supreme, and the White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pill was indeed just enough for him to use … However, Tang Jianming did not expect that when Qin Fang came to the Tang Sect not long ago, he was only at the peak of the Great Grandmaster level.
This meant that Elder Xuanyuan's explanation was also full of loopholes if one were to look deeper.
This was also why Tang Ao's expression was so strange when he heard this reason …
However, he did not say much and only said softly, "I'll go get the Heavenly Star Lock …"
Not long ago, he was firmly in favor of killing Qin Fang …
However, the situation was different now. He was the sect leader of the Tang Sect, and he could not let his emotions affect his decisions. Everything had to be for the Tang Sect, so he could only give up on killing Qin Fang … In exchange for two White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pills and two supreme powerhouses, he could end up with a good ending for the mess he had caused.
Tang Ao went to get the Heavenly Star Lock …
The Heavenly Star Lock was in the Tang Sect's treasure vault, and the key to the vault was with Tang Ao … Even Tang Jianming could not open the vault without Tang Ao's permission.
Furthermore, Tang Jianming would not do such a thing. If he really needed something, Tang Ao would not reject him …
Now that he needed to stay here to hold the fort, he could not leave.
"The Heavenly Star Lock is here …"
Not long after, Tang Ao returned.
In his hand, there was an extremely strange looking black stone lock … The reason why it was called the Heavenly Star Lock was because there were nine white dots on the black stone lock that looked like stars. It was as if there were stars hanging high up in the night sky.
Tang Ao received Tang Jianming's signal and threw the Heavenly Star Lock over without hesitation!
The three elders of Kunlun did not move, and Qin Fang caught the Heavenly Star Lock in his hand … Although it was called a stone lock, it was abnormally heavy, as if it was made of some kind of metal. However, Qin Fang did not delve into the details.
"Yes, it is indeed the Heavenly Star Lock …"
Qin Fang used his detection skill and quickly confirmed this.
The Heavenly Star Lock had already become a legend. No one knew whether this legend was true or not. If the Tang Sect were to come up with a fake item to fool people, it was likely that not many people would be able to see through it.
However, Qin Fang was obviously not in this category. His detection skill was the best appraisal expert, even if he had never seen the real Heavenly Star Lock.
"The White Tiger Heavenly Pill is also real …"
After confirming that the Heavenly Star Lock was genuine, Daoist Xuan Yuan tossed the small jade bottle containing the two White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pellets to Tang Jianming … The old geezer opened the small jade bottle, took a light sniff, and immediately nodded.
As a Supreme-Being, and a veteran at that, he was very sensitive to the quality and grade of a pill. He could determine the quality of a pill just by looking at the purity of the spiritual energy it emitted …
The White Tiger Heaven Questioning Pill was the best spirit pill below the Four Symbols Spirit Pill. It was practically the best pill that any alchemist in the world could refine. Even though the Tang Sect's alchemy skills weren't very good, they were still quite good at dealing in poisons. Their alchemy skills were also quite good, so they were naturally able to confirm this with ease.
"Old Devil Tang, the deal is done. So, this matter … can be written off!"
Daoist Xuan Yuan said slowly, the threat in his words obvious. "I don't want the Tang Sect to have any ideas about Qin Fang …"
"This is also what I wanted to say to you …"
After obtaining the two White Tiger Heavenly Pills, Tang Jianming's mood was obviously much better than before. Even though Daoist Xuan Yuan's threat made him very unhappy, he was not in the mood to fall out with him. He only said a few harsh words.
"Goodbye …"
Daoist Xuan Yuan was too lazy to continue the conversation. He only needed to take Qin Fang safely away from the Tang Sect headquarters to complete his mission. As for the relationship between Qin Fang and the Tang Sect in the future, he no longer cared.
