Chapter 1049:
"Actually, there is another way!"
While Su Yi was thinking, Yin-yang Dark Emperor spoke up beside him, saying, "Master, you can distribute these nineteen slots to recruit strong individuals to join the Overlord Sect. I believe that under this temptation, there will be many wanderers willing to become members of the Overlord Sect."
"The method is not bad, but it also carries risks."
Su Yi nodded, then shook his head, saying, "In this way, the wanderers who join will only be interested in the slots of the tournament, and they won't feel a sense of belonging to the Overlord Sect. It wouldn't be ideal."
Hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement.
Su Yi always thought that one only gains benefits from those who are already on his side.
And if they were to use benefits as a temptation to make others submit, there would be no way to guarantee that these recruited individuals won't have ulterior motives.
"I will go and find the people from Liuhe Sect. I should have asked Ji Tianfu more about Liuhe Sect just now," Su Yi said again.
Then he didn't delay anymore, and he left the inn with the Green Emperor and Yin-yang Dark Emperor.
First, following the route Su Xiaoshuai informed him about, he found the Mysterious Sword Gate. He asked Ji Tianfu about the situation of the Liuhe Sect and made it clear that he intended to form an alliance with them and sell the remaining spots to them.Su Yi's arrival and what he said surprised Ji Tianfu.
However, he didn't hide anything and said directly, "The Liuhe Sect doesn't interact much with our Mysterious Sword Gate, and we don't have any major grudges against each other. Besides, their reputation in that area is quite good, and their leader Lin Zhengyang is not a deceitful person. But if you want to form an alliance, it's better to discuss it after we return."
Hearing this response, Su Yi felt reassured and inquired further about the whereabouts of the Liuhe Sect. He went with the Green Emperor and Yin-yang Dark Emperor to meet them.
Before leaving, he asked Chen Chuan, Shen Hong, and Ye Haokong, the three wandering cultivators, to go to the inn where he was staying and wait for him there.
Seeing Su Yi's actions, Ji Tianfu felt completely relieved. The fact that this guy thought of coming to ask him about this matter showed that he trusted the Mysterious Sword Gate.
For some reason, Ji Tianfu actually felt a little happy about this.
Su Yi quickly found the residence of the Liuhe Sect. However, when he arrived, the group of over twenty people had already packed up and seemed ready to leave Nine Star City overnight.
When Su Yi informed Elder Feng Qizong, Elder Ge Ming, Lin Donghao, Lin Bingyao, and others, they were all shocked.
"Can there be such a good thing in the world?"
Elder Feng Qizong was extremely surprised and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
They had originally planned to get close to Su Yi in order to ask for a few spots. They didn't dare to think about getting more, but if they could get Lin Donghao and Lin Bingyao into the second round of the alliance conference, it would not be in vain.
However, they were completely unfamiliar with the Liuhe Sect and the Overlord Sect. They couldn't just show up at their door with only a few acquaintances. They couldn't do such a thing.
What if the Overlord Sect doesn't agree? Wouldn't they lose face?
"I still have sixteen spots that I can sell to you. The price will be the same as that of the Mysterious Sword Gate, twenty thousand two-star Yuan Stones per spot, totaling three hundred and twenty thousand!"
Su Yi planned to leave three spots for Chen Chuan and the others, so Liuhe Sect can only sell them sixteen spots.
"This price is acceptable!"
Lin Donghao, Lin Bingyao, and the two elders all nodded when they heard the words.
After the deal was made, Lin Donghao smiled and clasped his fist to Su Yi, saying, "Brother Su Yi, if Overlord Sect ever needs anything in the future, you can come to me and Liuhe Sect. As long as it's something we can do, we will definitely not refuse!"
Lin Donghao knew in his heart that if these sixteen spots were put up for auction, they would definitely be worth more than twenty thousand two-star Yuan Stones each.
Liuhe Sect accepted it and also accepted the feelings of Overlord Sect.
Otherwise, even if you have money, you can't buy this kind of opportunity.
Su Yi didn't stay long at Liuhe Sect and took his leave.
The people of Liuhe Sect watched as the silhouette of the young man disappeared, with each of them feeling a deep sigh, but soon replaced by boundless joy.
"Now we don't have to go back right away. I didn't expect that we could still participate in the next round of the conference."
The alliance conference that happens every fifty years is a rare event for those under the age of thirty.
The most important thing is that the preliminary selection meeting is held to choose ten powerful groups, and only through competition.
But in the second round, the participants can receive great benefits.
If you are lucky enough, you might get unimaginable gains from it.
Many people can even break through several realms at once, it's normal to break the barrier of the Yuan Void Realm.
With such great benefits, I'm sure no one can remain uninterested.
So, buying a spot for twenty thousand two-star Yuan Stones is definitely a worthwhile deal; if you're lucky, you might even earn greater profits.
Su Yi returned all the way and promptly entered the mysterious space under the protection of Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Soul Devouring Emperor, and Huang Jian.
To prevent Su Xiaoshuai from getting into trouble outside, Su Yi also pulled him in.
"After seven days, the real alliance meeting will begin. I will take a few days to retreat and cultivate the Yuanyang Heavenly Bone!"
Su Yi whispered and found a place to sit in the mysterious space.
His gaze swept over the vast space, and in the small pool of Spiritual Essence, a lot of Spiritual Essence had accumulated, releasing a refreshing fragrance that could invigorate people.
Then, Su Yi saw the emerald green stone that was placed aside, which was brought from the Seven Star Sword Sect's mine.
"Iron Soul Stone, what amazing uses does this thing have?" Su Yi muttered.
The last time his older brother Xi Wuqing entered the space to meditate, he also saw this stone. He told Su Yi that it was called the Iron Soul Stone and had some special powers related to the soul.
Xi Wuqing was also shocked at the time, wondering where Su Yi had obtained such a treasure that left him puzzled.
From his older brother's expression, Su Yi could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary treasure, which explained why the Seven Star Sword Sect valued it so much.
However, because Xi Wuqing was in a hurry to meditate, he didn't tell Su Yi much more, only mentioning that this thing could train the soul and have more uses.
"I will study it slowly later. Now, I will start cultivating the Yuanyang Heavenly Bone!"
Su Yi hesitated no longer, and first poured a bottle of Spiritual Essence into his mouth. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and began practicing the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique.
On the fifth level of the Chaotic Yuan Demonic Body, the Yuanyang Heavenly Bone required absorbing endless spiritual energy and transforming it into one's own vitality, gathering it into the Void God Sea.
Afterward, the vigorous vitality poured into the Heavenly Sun Heart, transforming into the Flame of True Sun, which was then used to temper the entire skeletal structure.
This process was extremely slow, and the Flame of True Sun consumed a tremendous amount of vitality. Even though Su Yi's Void God Sea was filled with vitality, multiple times that of others at the same level, it was still difficult to withstand such intense consumption.
Consuming all the vitality within the entire Void God Sea for the first time could only temper half of a rib bone, such as leg bones or arm bones. It would likely take many attempts to completely succeed in tempering them.
Su Yi grew impatient. If he continued to practice at this speed, it would take several years to successfully complete this level.
Not to mention the immense pain involved, the time alone was already too much for Su Yi to bear.
"Hoo…hoo…"
Soon, Su Yi entered a meditative state, with a swirling four-colored glow gently flowing around his body.
But inside his body, there was a huge explosion, like the sound of thunder.
As time passed, Su Yi's chest emitted a bright red light, like burning molten iron, with high temperature emanating from it.
He was sweating all over, and his lips were trembling in pain from the burning of the Flame of True Sun.
"It's so boring…"
Not far away, Su Xiaoshuai looked at Su Yi for a while and started to wail.
He also understood the boss's intention. Now, in Nine Star City, there were many powerful people, and various forces gathered, with experts of the Yuan Emperor Realm everywhere.
If he went out wandering at this time, Su Xiaoshuai knew the consequences. So, he was locked in a mysterious space without any complaints.
However, it was really boring here.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, his eyes moved and he looked at the small pond of Spiritual Essence. His eyes started to spin around.
After a while, Su Xiaoshuai flapped his wings and flew out, diving straight into the Spiritual Essence pool. He rolled around and enjoyed it immensely.
…
In the middle of Nine Star City, the preliminary selection of the Alliance Congress had ended, but instead of becoming quiet, the city had become even more lively.
Indeed, some forces chose to leave after their failure, but more people stayed behind.
Everyone knew that the real competition for the talented geniuses would be in the second round of the congress.
"In the three major top forces – Cangyun Temple, Nine Star Valley, and Blood Sun Sect – it's unknown what kind of level the young powerhouses have reached. It's unclear if there are any Yuan Void Realm experts!"
In some of the taverns and restaurants in the city, someone said this.
"It's possible that there really will be Yuan Void Realm experts. None of the three major top forces are simple, and they have a lot of powerful disciples! This time will determine who will claim the final victory!"
"Those seven second-rate forces are also good. Maybe they can't compare to the first-rate forces in overall strength, but if one or two outstanding individuals emerge among the younger generation, it's not impossible for them to surpass their peers!"
"The exciting show is about to begin, it's really something to look forward to!"
"And then there's the young boy from Overlord Sect, at that age, with that kind of strength, in terms of talent, he is definitely a once-in-a-hundred-years prodigy. However, whether he can benefit from the upcoming tournament is hard to say."
Different voices of discussion spread in various places, everyone has a strong interest in those talented geniuses.
Apart from the top three first-rate forces and the seven second-rate forces, the most remarkable one is naturally the young boy from Overlord Sect.
