C3617 Poisoned Wine
Compared to Gu Xuan's original Black Iron Sheet, one was equivalent to two.
Gu Xuan wished he could put it away into his Space Ring with just a glance.
He still had to go through the necessary procedures.
Gu Xuan looked troubled.
"I told you, I've always been particular about fate.
You're acting as if I'm greedy for rewards.
Sigh, forget it, forget it. Anyway, I've already taken one Black Iron Sheet from Old Ghost Shu, so I don't mind taking this one from you. "
Gu Xuan spread out his right hand, and the Black Iron Sheet in the Tang Sect Ancestor's hand flew into Gu Xuan's hand.
As for the other items, Gu Xuan didn't even spare them a glance. It was obvious that he didn't want them anymore.
The Tang Sect Ancestor was touched.
'Senior, you are truly noble and virtuous! '
Out of the four treasures that he had taken out, the Black Iron Sheet was the most valuable!
Although it was a bit sharp, no matter how sharp it was, it was just a fragment of a treasure. It was incomplete and not very useful.
If it wasn't, he wouldn't have wanted to trade it for the Seven Tree Clan's Thousand Face Spider.
However, the senior had chosen it, and only the Thousand Face Spider. He only chose it because he knelt down and forced him to.
If he didn't force him to do it, the senior would still insist that he didn't want anything.
In fact, if he hadn't accepted Old Tree's suggestion and taken out the worthless "Black Iron Sheet," the senior probably wouldn't have chosen any other treasure.
Old Ghost Tree's face also revealed an expression of "as expected."
The gift that the senior received was just a formality. He wouldn't accept anything too valuable.
Thinking up to here, a feeling of guilt appeared in Old ghost Shu's heart.
The Tang Sect's ancestor had at least taken out four treasures for the senior to choose from, but he had only taken out one. The senior had no choice at all.
Everything was because he was too poor.
In such a large sect, there was not a single decent treasure. The Black Iron Sheet, which was worthless in the eyes of the seniors, was actually his most precious treasure.
If the Tang Sect's Ancestor were to find out about this, who knew how much he would laugh at him.
What the two of them didn't know was that in their opinion, the Black Iron Sheet, which wasn't worth much, was already worth as much as the sky in Gu Xuan's heart.
Now that everyone thought that they had taken advantage of the situation, the atmosphere naturally became subtle and harmonious.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tang Sect's Ancestor expressed to Old Tree and Gu Xuan that he had decided to change his title back to "Mantis' Ancestor."
After all, he had already become an Early Rank of Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. Compared to the "Mantis Ancestor" who had beaten him up, he was a large stage stronger, so he naturally had to "vindicate" himself.
If the djinni didn't like it, let it come to him.
At that time, he would settle both old and new grudges!
Unfortunately, this ambition was awakened by a splash of water from Old Ghost Tree.
"When that Giant Spirit Mantis beat you up, it was already at the Peak Monarch Stage.
Now that so many years have passed, how do you know that it hasn't broken through yet?
Moreover, it had said that it came from the Black Wind Territory. Even if you could beat it, could you afford to offend the Black Wind Territory?
The most important thing for our small sects is to keep a low profile! "
Old Ghost Tree tried his best to persuade him.
He and the Tang Sect Patriarch were actually two people who were in the same boat.
Although the two of them did not have outstanding talent, they were not bad either. In these past few years, they had seized the good opportunity when the overall physical body of Burning Heaven Realm soared, and had also improved quite a bit.
Unfortunately, the two of them were too high-profile. They had provoked many enemies, used several forbidden techniques, and burned their Life Span many times. Only then did they end up with an ending where they almost ran out of Life Span and died.
Now that his cultivation level had increased, and his Life Span had grown for thousands of years, of course he had to learn his lesson and cherish it.
The Tang Sect Ancestor was stunned for a long time. In the end, he decided not to change his name and indicated to Gu Xuan that what he said just now was just drunken talk.
However, Gu Xuan frowned.
Originally, he planned to find an excuse to leave immediately.
After swindling away the Black Iron Sheet of the Tang Sect's ancestor, he was too embarrassed to borrow the territory of the Mantis Sect to transcend his tribulation.
However, when Gu Xuan heard the words "Black Wind Territory," he gave up on the idea of leaving immediately.
Because the Black Wind Territory was a power that Old Demon Black Wind had once controlled.
Although Old Demon Black Wind was now an elder of Ying Tian Sect and hadn't returned to Black Wind Territory for many years, Gu Xuan knew very well that this place was still under his control.
It couldn't be helped.
Old Demon Black Wind had gotten close to the Great Tree, Ying Tian Sect. The territory that he had once controlled, which meant he didn't want it anymore, who would dare to occupy and operate it?
Rather than leaving it empty, it would be better to send a few subordinates to manage it.
When his men went, they naturally had to show off.
Thus, the Black Wind Territory became the territory of Ying Tian Sect.
Ying Tian Sect didn't explain. Every year, they would even send disciples to Black Wind Territory to train.
Old Demon Black Wind's underlings were also a group of people who knew how to behave. Every time, they would let the disciples of Ying Tian Sect who were training come in high spirits and return in high spirits. They would even offer some "local specialties" to the leading elder.
In the long run, it almost made people think that the Black Wind Territory was rich in mysterious crystals, Sacred Crystals, Heaven Rank Spiritual Treasure, Profound Principle Spiritual Treasure, and other "local products."
Of course, those who could grow up in the Ying Tian Sect didn't care about these things, and most of them were casually rewarded to the outstanding disciples who were training.
In short, in the eyes of many people, even in the eyes of some people from Ying Tian Sect, Black Wind Territory was the territory of Ying Tian Sect.
This also forced Gu Xuan to stay for a while longer.
When he first met the Tang Sect Ancestor, Gu Xuan noticed that there was something strange in his dantian.
There was a Giant Spirit Mantis Egg hidden in his dantian, and it was extremely well-hidden.
Even if the Tang Sect's Ancestor was already a Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, it would be difficult to detect him in a short period of time.
The Giant Spirit Mantis egg was already in its mature state, and the little Giant Spirit Mantis inside could break out of its shell at any time.
Once it broke out of its shell, the Tang Sect Ancestor's dantian would be taken over by it, and it would be hard to get rid of.
At that time, there might be two outcomes.
The first was that the little Giant Spirit Mantis used the Tang Sect's ancestor as a long-term meal ticket and lived in his dantian. It fed on the Tang Sect's ancestor's energy and vitality until it sucked the Tang Sect's ancestor dry.
This was a good situation. The Tang Sect Patriarch could still live for many years.
The second was even worse.
If the little Giant Spirit Mantis was implanted with a Soul Imprint before it was placed in the Tang Sect Ancestor's dantian, then its birth was the signal that the Tang Sect Ancestor had been possessed.
Gu Xuan was inclined to the second possibility!
Throughout the entire process, Gu Xuan had a rough idea of what was going on.
Back then, the Giant Spirit Mantis that had beaten up the Tang Sect's patriarch was here to cause trouble on purpose. Its purpose was to place a Giant Spirit Mantis egg in the Tang Sect's patriarch's dantian.
In reality, the mantis egg that had been imprinted with the Soul Imprint did not have its own consciousness.
Once it hatched, it would become one of its clones.
On the other hand, it would control its clone to possess the Tang Sect Ancestor and make him its clone.
This was an extremely vicious method of possession, which could allow a Vicious Beast to completely possess the identity of a Human Clan.
At that time, even if an expert of Profound Saint or Holy Monarch came, it would be difficult for them to discover the abnormality of the Tang Sect Ancestor.
Gu Xuan guessed that the Giant Spirit Mantis probably wanted to use the Tang Sect Ancestor's identity as a Human Clan member to do something.
Of course, no matter what it wanted to do, Gu Xuan actually didn't care.
At most, he planned to give the Tang Sect Ancestor some pointers so that he would be able to discover the abnormality in his dantian.
As for how the Tang Sect's Old Ancestor was going to avoid this disaster, that was something that would happen after Gu Xuan left.
However, Old Ghost Tree said that the Giant Spirit Mantis came from Black Wind Territory. This made Gu Xuan have no choice but to investigate.
Since the Black Wind Territory was acting in the name of Ying Tian Sect, it couldn't allow this kind of Vicious Beast to possess Human Clan Martial Cultivator.
Moreover, a Vicious Beast had painstakingly tried to possess the identity of a Human Clan. If he said that it was not ambitious, Gu Xuan would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
He could only hope that the implications behind this weren't too great.
After all, Old Demon Black Wind had served Ying Tian Sect for so many years, and Gu Xuan was not willing to hurt everyone's friendship over a small matter.
"Senior, in order to thank you for your kindness today, I have ordered a banquet to be prepared at the pavilion on the Mantis Peak."
While Gu Xuan was deep in thought, the Tang Sect's Ancestor had already used the Sound Transmission Talisman to order his disciple, Mingyue, to prepare delicious wine and food.
Old ghost Shu also tried his best to invite him.
Gu Xuan naturally agreed happily.
The three of them immediately arrived at the pavilion on Mantis Peak.
The Tang Sect Ancestor personally poured three cups of wine.
"Senior, this is my precious seven-colored wine. Let's drink!"
The three of them drank a full cup.
A faint smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face.
This wine was actually poisonous!
