Chapter 2182 Secret Talisman
Chapter 2182 Secret Talisman
As expected of the head of the clan, he not only acted decisively, but also remained very calm in the face of the crisis, as if he was not the losing party.
Qin Sang flew in front of the leader of the Jie Gou tribe and asked knowingly, "Are you the leader of the Jie Gou tribe?"
"That's right! I'm not strong enough and have become a prisoner. I feel so ashamed of my tribe. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Taoist!"
The leader of the Xiegou tribe clasped his fists and bowed, "My name is Fu Kun, may I know what your name is?"
"Chief Naka!"
Qin Sang nodded, and did not humiliate his opponent. He bowed and returned the greeting, "My name is Qingfeng."
He noticed that the duck chief was nine feet tall, rather thin, with one of the short wings on his back missing. Although the wound had healed, it was still obvious that he was seriously injured. No wonder he did not show the strength that a chief of the tribe should have.
It is estimated that it was for this reason that the leader of the Fu tribe first agreed to cooperate with Xie Tianjiao and then voluntarily surrendered.
The Jade Scorpion Ancient Palace contains treasures left by the ancestors of the clan, so how can outsiders be allowed to touch them? If it were in its heyday, the leader of the Fu clan would have tried his best to stop them, but now he has no choice but to do so.
"How does Taoist Qingfeng plan to deal with us?" The leader of the Fu tribe glanced at the Xie Tianjiao in Qin Sang's hand.
"This man is insidious and cunning, and he is two-faced. I will not tolerate him!"
Qin Sang said decisively, full of murderous intent, and then changed his tone again, "However, fellow Taoist is the master of the Jade Scorpion Ancient Palace. It is only natural to expel outsiders who break in. I don't have too much resentment towards you..."
“But they won’t let me go easily,” Chief Fu understood.
Qin Sang smiled but said nothing.
"If I help the Taoist master open these halls, can you let me go?" The leader of the Fu tribe looked into the depths of the flowing light. "Without someone familiar with the forbidden formations of the Jade Scorpion Ancient Hall to lead the way, even if the Taoist master is proficient in the forbidden formations, it will not be easy to get the treasures inside."
"He who knows the current situation is a hero. It's a pity that we met the leader of the duck tribe here, otherwise we might be able to drink and chat happily."
Qin Sang sighed, "To be honest, I didn't come here for the Jade Scorpion Ancient Palace. I had considered talking to you, the Jie Gou Clan, in a friendly way so that we could live in harmony."
The head of the duck tribe showed a slight expression, and asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then the Taoist's goal should not be the poisonous lake. Could it be the mountain at the bottom of the lake?"
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the origin of this mountain?"
There was a flash of unwillingness in the eyes of the duck chief.
If it weren't for this mountain of unknown origin, if the Ancient Scorpion Palace hadn't collided with this mountain, he should have entered the ancient palace long ago, obtained the treasures left by the ancestors, and would have been able to manipulate the ancient palace's formations and would not be afraid even if Qin Sang and Xie Tianjiao joined forces.
This mountain shattered their wishful thinking and also destroyed the ancestors' plan.
Qin Sang nodded, "It has a certain relationship with this mountain. I must go down and explore to find out the origin of this mountain. However, I have heard some rumors from this person before, which seem to be true but are not. I am going to ask the leader of the Fu tribe for confirmation."
"Please ask, Taoist priest."
Chief of the Fu tribe did not have the slightest hope of luck. Now that he and Xie Tianjiao were both in the hands of the other party, and no one could stop them, how could the other party give up the opportunity that was within their grasp?
"What treasures did the ancestor of the Jie Gou clan store in the Ancient Palace of the Green Scorpion?" Qin Sang went straight to the point.
Chief Fu answered truthfully, "The treasures vary in value. The most valuable ones include the magical skills created by our ancestors, the spiritual treasures refined by them, and the elixirs that can improve the cultivation of our cultivators and help them break through."
"So, most of them are treasures closely related to your Jiegou clan. Even if I get them, I may not be able to use them and it will be difficult for me to sell them?" Qin Sang frowned.
"My clan is willing to do its best to buy from the Taoist priest!"
The chief of the Fu tribe said repeatedly, and hurriedly added, "I can distinguish between the inside and outside of the holy land. I am not as skilled as others, so I cannot blame others, and I will not lose the big picture because of resentment. Success or failure is only temporary, and these treasures are of great significance to our tribe. As long as we can get these treasures, we will do our best to meet all the conditions of the Taoist priest."
Qin Sang looked the leader of the Fu tribe up and down. It seemed that this man had already thought through the pros and cons at the moment of surrender.
The treasures in the Ancient Palace of the Green Scorpion are only valuable in the hands of the Jie Gou Clan. If Qin Sang wants to gain the greatest benefit, he can only trade with the Jie Gou Clan and must spare the life of the Clan Leader Fu.
Of course, Qin Sang would not suffer any loss, as the opportunity to blackmail a clan was rare. As for whether they would harbor resentment, the Jie Gou Clan was far away in the Water Department, and even if they harbored resentment, it would not affect Qing Yangzhi, and he himself would not care.
"Where is the core hall?" Qin Sang stared into the eyes of the Fu tribe leader and continued to ask.
If that legend is true, Chieftain Fu, as the head of the clan, must know something.
Chief Fu fell silent, a struggle flashed in his eyes, but was eventually replaced by helplessness. He sighed and said, "Every generation of chiefs in our clan knows an ancestral precept. The ancestor left a treasure in the core hall of the Ancient Jade Scorpion Temple. One day, when the holy land undergoes earth-shaking changes, the core hall will be opened, and future generations will get guidance from it. They must act according to their ability."
Forced to reveal these secrets, he looked upwards in a daze, muttering, "Fu Kun is unfilial, please punish me, ancestor."
Unfortunately there was no response.
“There really is such a legend!”
Qin Sang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "What guidance? What does this drastic change mean?"
"It is not explicitly stated in the ancestral teachings. I originally thought that there would be a great fortune. Now it seems that there may be a crisis. The treasure can only point out a clear path. In the end, only those who are destined to succeed will have it," said the leader of the Fu tribe sincerely. "Every word I said is true. Not a single word is false."
Qin Sang was silent, staring into the depths of the flowing light, and the ancient Jade Scorpion Palace was faintly visible. There was no doubt that now was the day mentioned in the ancestral precepts of the Jie Gou tribe.
No matter whether it is a blessing or a curse, he must get the treasure. Maybe he can learn the origin of the glow from it.
……
Not long after, three more figures rushed into the collision site, and Qin Sang brought Liuli down with him.
Qin Sang led the way, Liuli and the chief of the Fu tribe followed behind. The chief of the Fu tribe had a restriction set by Qin Sang. Although the chief of the Fu tribe was willing to help, Qin Sang was worried and asked him to concentrate on breaking the remaining restrictions of the Ancient Jade Scorpion Palace.
This time, there was no intrigue, and the three of them were able to cooperate fully and quickly penetrated half the distance.
Next, their speed slowed down, but it was still smooth, and they finally arrived at the nearest hall.
There is only one golden door in the main hall, which is tightly closed. The restrictions on the golden door are still there, although they are damaged, and it will take some effort to break them by force.
Landing in front of the door, Qin Sang turned and looked at the leader of the duck tribe. The duck tribe leader stepped forward, swung his tail, stretched it several feet, and the tip of the tail lightly touched the golden gate. Immediately, circles of red ripples spread out on the surface of the golden gate.
'Boom! '
'Boom! '
……
As if someone was knocking on the door, the golden door made a series of noises, and then there was a noticeable vibration. With a bang, the golden door suddenly opened, and the scene inside came into view.
The hall was completely empty except for a square wooden table placed in the center of the hall, on which was placed a thumb-sized porcelain vase. The wooden table was ordinary, and in such a large hall, there was only a small porcelain vase.
The duck chief stepped back and made way.
Qin Sang confirmed that there was no trap, walked into the hall, stretched out his hand, and easily took the porcelain bottle into his palm.
The bottle cap of the porcelain bottle was tightly closed. When it was gently shaken, there was a sound of water inside. I don't know what kind of spiritual liquid it was. The magical powers of the Jie Gou tribe are mostly related to poison. Qin Sang took precautions before opening the porcelain bottle.
As soon as the bottle cap was opened, an extremely fishy smell came out, and there was half a bottle of black and purple liquid inside.
"What kind of poison is this?"
Qin Sang looked at the leader of the Fu tribe. He didn't recognize this thing, but he could see that the black and purple spiritual liquid must be a highly poisonous substance.
"The Devil-Removing Essence! There are as many as ten drops!"
When Chief Duck saw the spiritual liquid in the porcelain bottle, his eyes lit up, but then he remembered that Qin Sang was the owner of this thing, and his eyes dimmed again.
"The Dew of Separation is something every cultivator in our clan dreams of. Even the most gifted clan member, if he gets a drop of it when he is young, can refine his blood and improve his talent to a higher level. In the hall in front, our clan has only received seven drops in total, and the clan debated for a long time before giving it out."
Chief of the Fu tribe was hesitant to speak. Even though he had known that the closer to the core hall, the more valuable the treasures would be, the temptation of ten drops of Lisha Essence was still too great. He couldn't help but beg Qin Sang to sell it to the Jiegou tribe.
Qin Sang suddenly realized, looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and said: "It is a miraculous medicine for you, but it is a deadly poison for others."
"That's right! Anyone with the same level of cultivation as us will suffer serious damage if they accidentally inhale the Li Sha Essence Dew into their bodies. But the Li Sha Essence Dew has a strong smell that cannot be removed, and it is difficult to hide from the enemy's perception. On the contrary, it is not as good as those colorless and odorless poisons that are slightly less toxic," Chief Fu deliberately pointed out the shortcomings of the Li Sha Essence Dew.
"I see. Thank you for your guidance, Chief Fu."
Qin Sang nodded and accepted it with a smile.
Seeing that he did not mention the transaction, Chief Fu did not dare to urge him and obediently followed Qin Sang to the next hall.
Without interference from external enemies, they opened three halls one after another. Unfortunately, part of the hall was shattered in the collision, and the treasures inside were also destroyed.
In the end, Qin Sang and the other two opened a total of nine halls. Anyone would have to sigh that it was a great harvest.
Most of the nine halls only store one treasure, including spiritual treasures, jade slips, and also something like Li Sha Jing Lu, a rare and extremely poisonous substance in the world.
It’s a pity that these treasures are almost all tailor-made for the Jiegou Clan. Even those highly poisonous things, like the Li Sha Jing Lu, have special uses for the Jiegou Clan and are not used to fight against the enemy.
The ancestor of the Jiegou tribe took great pains, but the news was not good for Qin Sang.
The only things that are useful to him are the four highly poisonous substances including the Li Sha Essence. If the poison bead is still there, and if he has the next part of "The Poison God Canon", and can refine these highly poisonous substances, his cultivation will be able to advance by leaps and bounds.
Now it seems that these highly poisonous substances can only be used against enemies.
Qin Sang had various methods to deal with opponents who were not as strong as him, and there was no need to poison them. To deal with opponents who were stronger than him, Qin Sang's attainments in the art of poison were still lacking, and he needed to study and comprehend them carefully for a while.
Watching Qin Sang collect treasure after treasure, the eyes of the Fu tribe leader turned red. But Qin Sang was still sighing because none of the treasures could be used by him.
Finally, with the help of the chief of the Fu clan, Qin Sang arrived at the door of the core hall. The core hall was almost intact, and compared with other halls, it looked more ancient and majestic.
Qin Sang stared at the hall in front of him. The two jade doors were tightly closed. Unexpectedly, there were no restrictions on the doors. It seemed that they could be opened with a slight push.
The chief of the Fu tribe explained, "There was an ancient ban in the hall that was set up by the ancestor himself. When the glow appeared, it disappeared out of thin air. We were so surprised when we discovered that the ancient ban disappeared that we ignored the danger brought by the glow."
After another patient investigation, Qin Sang mobilized a wisp of true energy and pushed the door open effortlessly.
'Shuh! '
As soon as a gap was opened, a white light suddenly shot out.
Qin Sang's eyes flickered, and he made a virtual grab. An illusory giant hand appeared in the void and grabbed the white light.
It turned out that there was a talisman in the white light. The talisman was more than five inches long and nearly two inches wide. It was pinched by two fingers and was still twisting constantly, trying to break free.
In the end, the struggle was futile and the talisman finally settled down. Qin Sang grabbed it in his hand and saw that the talisman was just a piece of pure white talisman paper without any runes or patterns on the surface. It was a secret talisman.
Unable to figure out what was going on, Qin Sang used his spiritual sense to probe into the talisman, but still found nothing.
After thinking about it, Qin Sang released the talisman, but blocked off a large area of space around it. The talisman shook and flew out again, but without any pattern, running around like a headless fly.
What kind of guidance is this?
Qin Sang was puzzled and looked at the leader of the Fu tribe.
The leader of the Fu tribe shook his head slightly. "Except for the ancestral teachings, I know nothing. Maybe... the time has not come yet?"
"The holy land has not been destroyed yet," Liuli agreed.
According to legend, when a holy land is destroyed, a great opportunity will come. At this moment, the holy land is in the process of being destroyed, and the rays of light are still bursting out.
"In this case, I can make more preparations before the time comes."
Qin Sang held the secret talisman in his hand, thinking secretly in his mind, he thought of the Thunder Palace.
Before, he was not sure about doing it alone, but now he has Liuli by his side, the captured Fu tribe leader, and a Jiegou tribe cultivator outside, so he might as well give it a try.
At this moment, the leader of the Fu tribe could not help but speak up, and said in a deep voice: "I have helped the Taoist priest to obtain the treasures in the temple. What exactly does the Taoist priest want to do with us?"
Qin Sang said, "Next, Chief of the Fu Clan and the fellow Taoist above, do one more thing for me, and I will let you go. After I leave, I will take some of the treasures and trade with the Jie Gou Clan. However, you cannot stay in the Holy Land any longer! The next time a sky rift appears, leave here."
Chief of the Fu tribe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Having become a prisoner, he did not dare to hope for any more opportunities in the holy land. It was a blessing that he could keep his life.
"But I don't know what to do?"
"I came across a secret place before, but I was short of manpower..."
Qin Sang briefly explained the whole story.
"How can we trust the Taoist priest that he will not regret it after the matter is accomplished?" The leader of the Fu tribe frowned.
"You should have the Taixu Golden Book in your hand, right?" Qin Sang said.
The leader of the Fu tribe nodded repeatedly, and finally he was relieved. (End of this chapter)
