Chapter 715 Suppressing Nian by Throwing Him into the Heavenly Thunder Purgatory
"..."
Upon hearing Hongluan's words, Fang Jixuan broke out in a cold sweat.
Before coming to find Hongluan, he had considered all sorts of possibilities, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he had suffered a great loss, since the three of them did not recognize the Dao Transmission Token and the ninth-order Dao artifact.
He recognized both treasures; that was his skill.
The three of them might be grateful to him for exchanging unusable treasures for the Divine Beauty Pill.
But he never considered that Hongluan wouldn't make a deal with him.
"Elder Dan, she's not going to trade with me. What should I do?" Fang Jixuan asked anxiously.
Elder Dan: "..."
Didn't he say it directly? He'll just state it clearly; a normal transaction is fine.
Do I have to make him say it again?
“Sigh, Xiao Xuanzi, you really need to change your habit of always trying to get something for nothing and feeling like you’re losing out when you don’t. We’re not short of Dao Pills.”
"Well, Elder Dan, you know that after I cultivated the Undying Golden Body Technique, the resources I consumed were a hundred times, a thousand times, compared to those at the same level."
If he doesn't resort to deception and fraud, where else can he find resources for cultivation?
As for using his identity as a Daoist alchemist to gain resources, Fang Jixuan would not dare to do so, as he always believed in the principle that a tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind.
Although Taoist alchemists can make money, they fear being targeted by powerful figures.
You must understand that Dao alchemists are like human treasures, coveted by various forces. No matter what your background is, if you are strong, there will be even stronger forces to take action, and whoever snatches it gets it.
Therefore, many Daoist alchemists rarely go out, and when they do, they are always protected by powerful individuals.
Fang Jixuan's ambition lies in the Great Dao, and he doesn't want to be kidnapped by a powerful figure before he has even grown up, simply because of his identity as a Dao Alchemist.
Therefore, Fang Jixuan only dared to secretly trade using Dao Pills, which is commonly known as taking off one's pants to fart.
Fang Jixuan complained once, then stopped thinking about it. As long as he could obtain the Dao Transmission Token and the ninth-grade Dao artifact, any price he paid would be worth it.
He took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "Senior sister is right. It is indeed because I am ignorant. Please don't blame me."
"Senior sister, I'd like to trade these for three treasures with you. Is that alright?"
Fang Jixuan dared not use any more tricks, for he was truly afraid of the stubborn Hongluan.
After saying that, he took out twenty third-order Dao pills and one hundred thousand innate spirit crystals.
"not enough!"
Hongluan slowly shook her head.
Fang Jixuan's eyes turned red.
Twenty third-tier Dao Pills are worth more than a million innate spirit crystals.
Although the value is the same, from the other party's perspective, not gaining an advantage is a huge loss.
Fang Jixuan's heart was bleeding. He took out five more Dao Pills and a sixth-order magic treasure.
"Is this alright now?"
Fang Jixuan hardened his heart, determined that one day he would make Hongluan pay a hundredfold.
"It's barely okay."
Seeing that the time was right, Hongluan reluctantly nodded.
Fang Jixuan's eyelids twitched. Hongluan's sudden change to being so agreeable gave him an inexplicable sense of unease, and his mind immediately cleared.
Could it be that Hongluan intends to use him to find the real treasure, and then discard him after he has served his purpose?
"Which three treasures have you set your sights on? Hurry up and make your selections and leave, don't spoil my Hongluo's enjoyment."
Seeing Fang Jixuan's hesitant expression, Hongluan put away his things and urged him impatiently.
"call!"
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
Fang Jixuan took a deep breath and prayed silently.
Now that things have come to this, the arrow is already on the bowstring and must be released.
In any case, he could not possibly give up the Dao Transmission Token and the ninth-order Dao artifact.
Even knowing it was a trap, he was determined to get his hands on those two treasures first.
At worst, he can just give up his status as an outer disciple of the Starry Sky Divine Sect.
The thought that Si Ji possessed a Heaven-Splitting Divine Talisman brought Fang Jixuan some peace of mind.
He reached out, wanting to take something from a distance.
However, Yan Hongluo stopped him. Her crimson eyes swept over him coldly, and her queenly aura of looking down on all living beings was overwhelming, making Fang Jixuan's breath catch in his throat.
This is a ruthless person who has defeated many true disciples, and his supernatural powers are incredibly strong and sharp.
"Senior sister, are you planning to kill someone and steal their treasure?"
If Fang Jixuan still doesn't realize there's a trap at this point, then he's a pig.
"Snapped!"
Hongluan unleashed a powerful magical handprint, slamming Fang Jixuan directly into the ground.
"I have never seen such a daring and reckless god-king. Instead of conducting a proper transaction, he dares to try and steal all the treasures."
"stop!"
Fang Jixuan's anger surged from the depths of his heart to the top of his head.
He wanted to unseal his cultivation and get Elder Dan's help to seize all the treasures.
However, he was dumbfounded when he heard Hongluan's words.
He only wanted to take three treasures; when did he ever think of taking them all?
Before he could recover, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, with his perfect cultivation at the ninth level, stunned the entire audience.
Hongluan and the other two were also stunned.
Who summoned Xi Zhengze?
She even planned to kill someone, steal their treasure, and then search their soul.
Since Fang Jixuan dared to come to our door to trade, he must have recognized the treasure and had a big secret about him.
Fearing that Fang Jixuan might escape, she had already prepared to activate the grand formation.
Unexpectedly, Xi Zhengze suddenly appeared.
If Xi Zhengze takes her away, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
Xi Zhengze, with a solemn expression, immediately pronounced the verdict: "Outer disciple Fang Jixuan concealed his cultivation with malicious intent. The evidence is conclusive. He shall be thrown into the Heavenly Thunder Purgatory and punished for a thousand years."
Fang Jixuan and his disciples: "???"
The three girls: "..."
"Palace Master, I..."
"shut up!"
Xi Zhengze roared, his voice like thunder, which exploded inside Fang Jixuan's body, causing him to bleed from his seven orifices, his soul to shatter, and his physique, comparable to a fourth-order Dao artifact, to almost explode.
"Good connections, but unfortunately they've offended the cult leader and are already on their deathbed."
Xi Zhengze's gaze sharpened, and he saw through Fang Jixuan's background at a glance, finding it to be even more profound than that of a true disciple.
If you take him as a disciple and train him well, his future is limitless.
However, upon thinking of Gu Qing, Xi Zhengze immediately abandoned the idea.
Despite being a ninth-level perfect saint who holds the power of life and death in the Star God Sect, if he goes against Gu Qing's will, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to die.
Gu Qinglian had already killed his senior brother Tianren, so killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
……
Rumble!
"Ahhh!"
Before Fang Jixuan could finish speaking, he was thrown into the Heavenly Thunder Purgatory, where divine chains formed from the laws of heavenly thunder bound him tightly.
Countless bolts of lightning relentlessly struck him, tearing his skin apart and leaving him charred and raw.
Fang Jixuan screamed in terror, his heart pounding with panic.
He's still in a daze, completely bewildered and can't figure out what's going on.
Why would Hongluan bring in Xi Zhengze? This is completely against Hongluan's interests.
Besides, he's just an outer disciple, is it really necessary to ask Xi Zhengze to deal with him?
That's a Saint who has reached the ninth level of perfection; he's really not worthy of it.
But if Hongluan didn't find him, then how did Xi Zhengze come to be here?
Master Dan was equally bewildered. Such a great opportunity and great fortune were all within the control of the master and his disciple.
How did he suddenly become a prisoner?
"Elder Dan, Elder Dan... what should we do?" Fang Jixuan was completely panicked.
The heavenly lightning in the Heavenly Thunder Purgatory is not the heavenly lightning of the outside world. It is a heavenly lightning specifically used to punish disciples, containing the Dao of Destruction.
If someone were struck by lightning for a thousand years, they would either die or become useless, losing all their roots.
Fang Jixuan had killed many outer disciples and had entered the Enforcement Hall multiple times.
But it was almost always just a formality; someone would quickly bail him out.
Who can bail him out now?
