Chapter 542 Two requirements
"The treasury of the Taishen Palace?" Jiang Wen was surprised to hear this. After all, the Taishen Palace was not a strange place to him. Although he had never been to the Taishen Palace in the imperial capital, he had heard Li Yunshang and other Taishen Palace disciples mention it.
Standing on the ninth floor of the pagoda in the imperial capital, you can touch the sky.
The Taishen Palace is hidden in the sky, overlooking the entire imperial capital. Anyone who is evil and unorthodox will be controlled by the Taishen Palace.
It is also because of this that the imperial capital has been able to enjoy long-term peace and stability for thousands of years.
"Yes, the Imperial Palace painting was taken away by the real person of the Taishen Palace and hidden in its treasury. I, the Taiping Dao, have gone through a lot of investigations before I found out where the treasure is." The Saint of Taiping sighed and closed her eyes. "But, if I can help you get the Imperial Palace painting, how will you repay me?"
Jiang Wen heard this and looked at the Saint Lady of Taiping. Their eyes met, and he saw a bit of cunning in the other's eyes.
He frowned but didn't say anything.
The Saintess of the Grand Palace said, "Although I don't know who you are, I can sense that your cultivation is extraordinary. But I am the only one who knows the location of this treasure house. Even if you have a thousand tricks, it will be difficult to get any information from me."
"What if I use the soul-searching technique?" Jiang Wen was curious when he saw the Saint of Peace was full of confidence. He also knew the soul-searching technique, but he had never used such a harmful method. If he wanted to know what a person saw and heard, he could only capture the other person's soul. But if he did so, the person would definitely become demented because of the damage to his soul.
Jiang Wen would not use this method unless he was facing a very evil person. Moreover, he had no grudges against Saint Lady Taiping, so he was not prepared to use this method.
However, the Saint Lady Taiping is quite confident. I wonder if there is any way she can avoid the soul-searching and spirit-stealing.
"My Taiping Dao master once had a method, which is a technique to protect the body and calm the mind. Even if a saint wants to spy on our inner thoughts, it is difficult to do so." The Saint of Taiping smiled, her eyebrows and eyes flickered, looking at Jiang Wen, who knows what she was thinking. She opened her red lips slightly, and then said. "But if you can agree to my two requests, I will take you to the treasury of Taishen Palace."
"Hmph, how dare you bargain? If you weren't a kind person, I would have skinned you alive and tortured you." Bai Jing said with bared teeth. Although she looked kind, she was actually a demon. Although she had never eaten people, she had killed many people. But after she followed Jiang Wen, this demon's nature was restrained. Now seeing this woman in front of her, she felt a sense of threat for some reason.
This Saint Lady of Taiping is despicable, if it weren’t for her benefactor... Bai Jing was indignant.
Li Xiangyue, who was standing by, just shrank her neck and dared not speak. She saw the contest between the two women. The Saint of Taiping was not easy to mess with, but Sister Bai was not easy to mess with either. She moved to Jiang Wen's side, pulled his sleeve and hid behind her.
Is this the world of immortals? How scary, Li Xiangyue thought to herself.
The two women looked at each other with murderous intent.
Jiang Wen felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and it seemed to be eerily quiet. Thinking of what the Saint of Peace said, he asked, "You can tell me what you want, but if it doesn't suit my taste, I won't agree."
"Good~ That's great." Saint Taiping retracted her gaze and turned to Jiang Wen with a look of relief. "Since you've said that, just open up and talk about yourself."
"My name is Yu Shiqie, and I am the Saint of the Taiping Dao. But now the Taiping Dao is declining, and there are only a few people left." The Saint of Taiping said her name and looked up at Jiang Wen. When she talked about the situation of the Taiping Dao, her expression was a little gloomy. "If you can do what I ask, the remaining disciples of the Taiping Dao can be commanded by you."
"I am Jiang Wen, the abbot of Jingxu Temple. If the Saint Lady does not mind, you can just call me Fellow Daoist Jiang." Jiang Wen replied.
"Jiang Wen? I seem to have heard of this name." Saint Taiping was a little surprised, she just felt that this name was familiar. But if she was asked where she had heard it, she couldn't remember. As this thought was tossing and turning, Saint Taiping was no longer entangled. She just looked at Jiang Wen with a smile on her face. "Since you are Brother Jiang, please give me more guidance in the future. The Taiping Dao has disappeared for many years, it's time to come out and see the world."
"Of course." Jiang Wen nodded. "But you haven't told me your two requests yet."
"That's easy." Saint Taiping said with a smile. "My first request is that Daoist Jiang can find a safe place for my disciples of Taiping Dao." "Since Daoist Jiang has come to find me, he should know the situation of Taiping Dao in Daqian. If I hadn't controlled it, I'm afraid Taiping Dao would have disappeared thousands of years ago. Now it can only survive in this Red Dust Spring Tower. If Daoist Jiang can find a good place for us, I will be very grateful."
"..." Jiang was surprised to hear this request. He thought that the Saint of Taiping would propose something that would be beneficial to him, but he didn't expect it to be about the disciples of Taiping Dao.
A safe place is naturally easy to find. Now Jingxu Temple is hidden in Mount Xumi, and only a saint can find it. After many refinements, it is now as large as a province. Jingxu Temple only occupies a small part of it, and it is also easy to let the Taiping Daoists live there. This request is simple, and Jiang Wen agreed.
"This is easy to say. I naturally have a safe place." Jiang Wen said.
"The second request is naturally related to me." The Saint of Taiping's eyes were full of spring, and her gaze groped over Jiang Wen. He shivered inexplicably, as if he was being stared at by something.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Jiang Wen asked, "What do you want?"
Saint Lady Taiping sneered, then waved her sleeves and said, "This second request is also simple. I just need Daoist Brother Jiang to agree to one of my requests. This request is naturally in accordance with Daoist etiquette and will not harm others."
"What request?"
"I would like to ask Brother Daoist Jiang to practice dual cultivation with me, and have offspring together." Saint Lady Taiping said with a smile.
"what?!"
"I won't allow it!"
After hearing the words of the Saint of Taiping, Li Xiangyue and Bai Jing had completely different reactions.
Li Xiangyue blushed, and was just extremely shocked. She had never seen a woman take the initiative to ask to have a child, how embarrassing it was.
Bai Jing was furious, staring at the Saint of Taiping fiercely. This human woman was really calculating, she actually coveted the benefactor's body. She hadn't even tasted this body yet!
Bai Jing was furious and said, "You shameless girl, you dare to ask my benefactor to practice dual cultivation with you? Let's see how capable you are to compete with me!"
After saying that, his hand turned into a sharp claw and attacked the Holy Maiden Taiping.
In just a flash, the sharp wind from the claws destroyed the entire room. The Saint of Peace stood aside and took out a fan to fan her face.
"So she is a vixen. No wonder she wants to stop me from practicing dual cultivation with Daoist Fellow Jiang."
"You!" Bai Jing was furious. She wanted to do something else but was stopped by Jiang Wen.
"My benefactor..." Bai Jing looked at Jiang Wen pitifully, her ears drooping. Although she was angry, she couldn't vent it, which made her feel a little wronged. Since she became a subordinate of Jiang Wen, her temperament has changed a lot.
I am angry today, and I don’t know why.
