Chapter 431 The road ahead is difficult but the determination is strong!
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take it away?"
Pei Yingsong did not hide his greed for the Double Dragon Scissors and looked deeply at Qin Mo.
Even if he couldn't beat Qin Mo, after leaving Qinling, he might be able to gather three or five overseas cultivators, come to Qinling again, and capture Qin Mo.
In that case,
Qin Mo's efforts will be in vain.
"I can take it out, so of course I'm not afraid." Qin Mo naturally understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth, but in order to win over Pei Yingsong, this risk is still worth taking.
Since Pei Yingsong is a lone ranger, there should be no reason for him to find others to share with.
Both of them were actually testing each other.
"Just relying on a mid-grade magic weapon, you want to tie me to the carriage of the Shenxiao Sword Sect? I'm afraid it's not enough." Pei Yingsong admitted that he was tempted, but he also had concerns.
He also speaks more frankly.
He was in need of a mid-level magic weapon, but he couldn't sell himself just for a magic weapon.
"Of course it's not enough." Qin Mo smiled slightly, "The Twin Dragon Scissors are just a gift from me to you. Are you willing to go to the Shenxiao Sword Sect to discuss the specific matters? Even if we can't come to an agreement, we can just be friends."
Brief contact,
Qin Mo has discovered that Pei Yingsong is actually a very face-conscious person, so he gives him a way out everywhere.
"Since you said so, I'd be remiss to refuse." Having said that, it would be too pretentious for Pei Yingsong to refuse again.
"please!"
Qin Mo was overjoyed, made a gesture of invitation, lowered his head, glanced at the people of Qingyun Sect below, and said lightly: "I will talk about your business later."
Without waiting for Xiao Yicai to reply, he took Pei Yingsong and flew away on his sword.
"Leaving now?"
Everyone in Qingyun Sect stayed where they were, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
"Master, Lord Lianzhen said that we can talk later. What does that mean? What do we want to talk about?" Qi Hao's eyes gleamed.
"I'm afraid that Huashan will eventually be undefendable..."
Xiao Yicai seemed to realize something, sighed, turned around and left, his back looking a little desolate.
“…”
The people from Qingyun Sect seemed to have heard something and stood still where they were.
…
Shenxiao Sword Sect.
Qin Mo did not talk with Pei Yingsong in Shenxiao Palace, but chose a pavilion halfway up the Shenxiao Peak. He did not want to make it too formal and put pressure on Pei Yingsong.
"Try the magic wine I brewed myself."
Qin Mo took out the wine gourd and the jade wine glass and filled them for Pei Yingsong.
This wine was made seventy years ago. Qin Mo used Maotai as the main ingredient and added ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, red pearl grass, red fruit and other spiritual herbs to make it. The whole wine is pure red and crystal clear.
"oh?"
Pei Yingsong had no other hobbies except fine wine. He subconsciously sniffed the wine and was instantly impressed by its aroma, which was far better than any other wine he had ever drunk before.
Pick it up and drink it all in one gulp.
With an intoxicated expression on his face, he opened his eyes and praised loudly: "Good wine!"
"Since you like it, I'll give you a pot." Qin Mo took out a large wine gourd from his storage ring. There was something else inside. He carved a space formation on it, and it was filled with thousands of kilograms of fine wine.
"this……"
Pei Yingsong's face lit up with joy. He stretched out his hand and was about to take it, but then he pulled it back halfway. "No reward without merit, Master Qin, please talk about something more practical."
He wanted to hear what other conditions Qin Mo could offer.
"Brother Dao is straightforward!"
Qin Mo was not discouraged. Every true immortal has a firm mind. How could he be tempted by small favors? He did that just now just to ease the relationship between them.
It’s not so strange and stiff.
"Brother Daoist, are you an independent cultivator from overseas?" Qin Mo asked.
"yes."
Pei Yingsong did not shy away from it and admitted it generously.
"Do you have any friends or enemies?" Qin Mo asked again.
"No."
Pei Yingsong felt a little unhappy. Was he being interrogated?
"If that's the case, then I think the Shenxiao Sword Sect is the best destination for you. As a worshiper, you don't need to worry about any sect affairs and can choose any mountain in the Qinling Mountains to practice. Not only that, the spiritual stones, refining materials and other items you need for your practice will also be supplied by the sect." Qin Mo said.
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
Pei Yingsong still had some doubts, "Can the Shenxiao Sword Sect satisfy the cultivation needs of a True Immortal?"
"Brother, why not take a look at this!"
Qin Mo handed over a storage ring, which he used to store spirit stones and rare refining materials.
Pei Yingsong was skeptical. After taking it, he scanned it with his spiritual sense and his breathing became rapid. For a moment, he even wanted to take it for himself.
Not only did it contain hundreds of thousands of high-quality spirit stones, but it also contained a lot of refining materials that he urgently needed.
look up,
Seeing Qin Mo's calm eyes, Pei Yingsong became alert. He suppressed his greed, returned the storage ring to Qin Mo, and said in a deep voice: "Can I know where your sect's inheritance is?"
Pei Yingsong couldn't believe it.
The Shenxiao Sword Sect alone could have such a profound foundation.
In order to win over Pei Yingsong, Qin Mo had no choice but to resort to deception again, "I will not hide it from you, Brother Dao. My inheritance comes from the ancient immortal sect Shenxiao Sect, which is not in this world. As for the ultimate inheritance, it can be regarded as the destruction of the Dao Ancestor's lineage."
Pei Yingsong: “…”
He guessed that the Shenxiao Sword Sect must have a backer, but he didn't expect the backer to be so powerful.
Considering the true meaning of the Great Way of Destruction that Qin Mo had demonstrated before, Pei Yingsong did not think that Qin Mo was lying, and no one dared to use the banner of the Taoist Ancestor.
That's because you think you're not dying fast enough.
"Then, are these things also left behind by the Shenxiao Sect?" Pei Yingsong asked tentatively.
Qin Mo smiled but said nothing.
Pei Yingsong subconsciously thought that Qin Mo was unwilling to reveal too much information about the Shenxiao Sect. After all, he was still an outsider and naturally could not tell everything.
He was moved...
Qin Mo saw this and continued, "As a worshiper, you don't need to participate in the True Immortal War. You just need to shock the Earth Immortals who covet Qinling when the time is right. If you encounter an invincible opponent, or if the Shenxiao Sword Sect encounters a major crisis that cannot be avoided, you can just withdraw from it."
The conditions proposed by Qin Mo were extremely generous, and the responsibilities and powers were completely disproportionate. It was almost as if the Shenxiao Sword Sect would support Pei Yingsong, but Pei Yingsong could withdraw at any time.
There was nothing he could do about it.
The temple of the Shenxiao Sword Sect is still too small, and it is impossible to propose any overly harsh conditions.
We can only take it one step at a time.
First keep Pei Yingsong, then lure him with benefits and trap him with love.
When Pei Yingsong truly develops a sense of identification with the Shenxiao Sword Sect, then he won’t be driven away even if we try.
And if Pei Yingsong still cannot agree with the Shenxiao Sword Sect, then even if Qin Mo puts forward some harsh constraints, it will only end in a bad mood.
A forced melon is not sweet, right?
Qin Mo's attempt to retain Pei Yingsong also had a bit of the intention of "spending a fortune to buy bones". He hoped to use Pei Yingsong as a sign to attract more overseas cultivators to join the Shenxiao Sword Sect.
With the lifting of the blockade of the Central Continent, Qin Mo actually has two paths before him.
One,
Just like when he ventured into the world of immortals before, he would continue to be a lone ranger, joining the Demon Sect today, becoming a disciple of the Immortal Sect tomorrow, and becoming the king of the Demon Moon Continent the day after tomorrow.
It's quite free and easy.
However, to do so, they would have to abandon the Qin State and the Shenxiao Sword Sect.
Let them both fend for themselves...
And if Qin Mo is unable to be ruthless, he can only use this as a foundation to develop the Qin State and strengthen the Shenxiao Sword Sect to ensure that the two can withstand the storms from the Earthly Immortal Realm.
There is no doubt that
Qin Mo chose the second path, a path that seemed more difficult and thankless.
He is not a heartless person after all.
Since the choice has been made, Qin Mo must learn to bear it. Inviting Emperor Yan to rule the Qin State was based on this logic, and inviting Pei Yingsong to serve as a worshiper was also based on this logic.
"Okay, I agree!"
The conditions Qin Mo proposed were so generous that Pei Yingsong could not find a reason to refuse.
“Okay, okay!”
Qin Mo was overjoyed. He presented the double dragon scissors, the wine gourd, and the storage ring containing some spirit stones and refining materials. He smiled and said, "From now on, we are a family."
For Qin Mo,
The Double Dragon Scissors are actually a useless thing.
Mainly, if the Double Dragon Scissors want to be upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon, it has to slaughter more dragons. Even if it kills all the dragons in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it will not meet the upgrade requirements.
It would be better to do him a favor and give it to Pei Yingsong.
Anyway, given Qin Mo's situation, he will have plenty of opportunities to obtain more mid-level magic weapons in the future.
"Thank you, Master!"
After taking the three items, Pei Yingsong felt that they were heavy, so he changed his words.
He was an introverted person, so he would naturally remember Qin Mo's favor. In the future, if the Shenxiao Sword Sect really needed him for an assignment, he would certainly do his best to help.
otherwise,
It is impossible to overcome the inner demon.
"Brother Pei, please choose a Taoist temple in Qinling Mountains first. After everything is settled, I will hold an initiation ceremony for Brother Pei and announce it to the world." Qin Mo said with a smile.
Qinling Mountains is a place where many spiritual veins in the world converge, and there are also many unowned peaks.
"Thank you, Master!"
Pei Yingsong clasped his fists, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
Qin Mo gave a huge gift, but did not rush to announce it to the world to confirm his identity as a priest of the Shenxiao Sword Sect. Instead, he let him leave. This trust alone made Pei Yingsong feel warm in his heart.
With such a broad mind and bearing, it is no wonder that he could achieve such success.
…
After Pei Yingsong left, Qin Mo called Lu Xueqi over and said with a smile: "The crisis of Qingyun Sect has been resolved, and that True Immortal has agreed to become the worshiper of our Shenxiao Sword Sect."
"Ah, ah?"
Even someone as calm as Lu Xueqi was stunned by the news.
Isn’t this too reversed?
Needless to say,
All of this must be the result of the master's manipulation, and the respect in his eyes was even greater.
"You meet with Han Fei and be responsible for preparing the ceremony for Pei Yingsong's enshrinement." Qin Mo ordered.
"Um."
Lu Xueqi nodded. She didn't say much, but she was very decisive in her actions.
"Oh right," Qin Mo thought of something, glanced at his disciples, and said casually, "After this incident, if I try to annex Qingyun Sect, will they agree?"
Lu Xueqi stood there in a daze...
