Chapter 210 Who is taking the blame?
Dharma Protector Wu no longer considers Yang Shan as an outsider.

In other words, Yang Shan was already a member of the Soul Palace.

After coming to the Gama Empire, although there were some misunderstandings, all the souls in his hands were handed over without leaving a single one.

For Tu Hong's safety, he fought alone against three powerful Dou Lings!

Both his ability and attitude are impeccable!

Protector Eagle felt that unless he wanted to ignore the facts, there was no way to pin the word "traitor" on Yang Shan.

"Master Protector, I was unable to collect many souls this time. Please forgive me, Master Protector."

Listen!

Listen!

Yang Shan looked as if he would be fine if he took a few more breaths or said a few more words.

But he spoke anyway.

And what he said was that he didn't collect enough souls!

There was also a slight wave of emotion in the heart of the guardian Wu.

The people in the Soul Palace are also human beings!

At this moment, Protector Wu really wanted to write a letter to Luo Xie.

Such subordinates will definitely be his right-hand men in the future. It would be a waste to give them to Luo Xie!
But after weighing the pros and cons, Protector Wu decided that it would be better not to write a letter.

Luo Xie is not a fool. If he makes a mistake about someone like Cheng E, he cannot give the personal order to the other party.

When I think of the big shot who is about to arrive from the Black Horn Region.

Dharma Protector Wu made a decision that went against his principles!
That is to promote Yang Shan!
"Based on this kid's performance, he will definitely be valued by that person in the future. Even if he doesn't rise to prominence, it will definitely be easy for him to become a Dharma protector in the future. If I help him now, I can at least earn a favor in the future!"

It doesn't take much resources to support a Dou Ling.

But I have to remember the favor!

In the future, when the other party reaches the Dou Zong level, the value of this favor will at least increase two hundred times!
Wu Hufa really understands investment.

So the guardian Wu took out a pill from his ring.

Although it is just the most basic healing elixir.

But this is a genuine sixth-grade elixir!
The guardian Wu personally placed the elixir in Yang Shan’s palm:

"Thank you for your hard work. I won't require you to take off your mask in public. Come, take Cheng E back to rest. If you bump into him, your heads will be in danger!"

[Ding! Players, please note that the Guardian Wu's favorability towards you has increased by +5. ]

[Note: Since the name you used in the Soul Hall does not match your actual ID, the affiliated identity favorability list has been opened for you. Your favorability with the Soul Hall NPC will be placed in the affiliated list to which 'Cheng E' belongs.]

Finally the attachment list is opened.

This is also one of the ways to play with favorability, and Yang Shan had done this in his previous life.

However, to open the attached list, you need to gain enough favorability from NPCs by using a disguised identity.

With the identity of "Cheng E", Yang Shan already has the favorability of three Soul Hall personnel: the protector Wu, Tu Hong, and Luo Xie of the Black Horn Region.

But in addition to this, the system also gave Yang Shan a special reminder:
[Players please note that since the subsidiary identity is enabled, the favorability of your subsidiary identity is not the same as the actual identity favorability, and it may cause uncontrollable effects after being exposed, so players please treat it with caution. ]

Yang Shan was not worried about any uncontrollable influences at all.

All uncontrollable influences come from insufficient favorability!
Yang Shan now goes to tell Ya Fei that he actually has a high position in Qingyun Club, but he is actually an undercover agent.

Then there may be a 20% chance that Ya Fei's favorability will be reduced by a few points, and a 50% chance that no favorability will be deducted.

There is also a 30% chance that Yafei will say:
"Mr. Yang, you are so amazing!"

Then increase the favorability a little bit more.

As for the Soul Palace, Yang Shan was even less worried!
The Soul Palace doesn’t care about these things at all. They even hope that their people have “undercover” agents in other forces!
The reason why Yang Shan was not honest with either side.

Simply to take advantage of the information gap to gain more benefits!

For example, right now, if Yang Shanxian confessed his identity to Protector Wu, he would never be able to obtain the Soul Orb!

If he gets it, there is a high probability that the guardian Wu will suspect him!
In his previous life, Yang Shan relied on the same method. He made it onto the strong list in Canaan College and became a deacon in the Black Emperor Sect. He consumed resources back and forth, which accelerated his development and made him a first-class player.

This is a trick that only an old pervert can pull off!

After Yang Shan was sent to recuperate, Protector Wu's face became gloomy again.

It would obviously take quite some time for Guardian Wu to check every member of the Baiwu Branch.

The guardian Wu immediately ordered:
"No one is allowed to leave the branch until the traitor is found!"

Then the next day, Yang Shan, who had recovered from his injuries with the help of sixth-grade elixirs, came to resign.

Guardian Wu subconsciously touched his face.

I always feel a little swollen, maybe because I drank too much water before going to bed last night.

definitely is!

Guardian Wu: "Where are you going?"

Yang Shan: "After taking a stroll, I should go back to the Black Horn Region. Lord Luo still needs me."

Guardian Wu: "Luo Xie shouldn't have any major moves recently, you can stay for a while longer."

Yang Shan was a little embarrassed:

"But Guardian Wu, if I stay here, it seems that there is no use for my subordinates."

Guardian Wu: "There will be a big move at the Qingyun Society headquarters soon. If you are willing, you can go there. The souls you retrieve will be yours."

Yang Shan: "I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Guardian Wu!"

Guardian Wu: "This guardian has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Cheng E, this guardian thinks you are not bad, so I will train you for a while."

Yang Shan pretended to understand:

"I understand! Lord Luo has also said this to me. Protector Wu, please rest assured. Although I love blood, I am not a heartless person. I will definitely repay Protector Wu for his kindness in the future!"

Yang Shan was so tactful, and the guardian Wu was also very pleased:

"That old fellow Luo Xie is really lucky!"

The guardian Wu seemed to sense something and raised his head slightly before coming back to his senses.

He took the initiative to walk in front of Yang Shan and patted Yang Shan on the shoulder:

"I have something else to do, so I won't keep you any longer. You've worked hard during this period. Don't be anxious on the way to the headquarters. I won't set a time limit for you. You can go to some places of entertainment to relax along the way."

Yang Shan: "Please rest assured, Guardian Wu, the few spiritual stones in my pocket are just for the fireworks alley!"

"Hehehe, you are really a lecher, go ahead."

"Subordinates resign!"

After Yang Shan left, the guardian Wu's face darkened:

"What? You've broken into Dou Zong, and you think you're capable? Do you want me to invite you in person?"

"Guardian Wu, you are joking. Our sect has always respected Guardian Wu. I just don't know why Guardian Wu is so anxious to find us. What's the matter?"

A middle-aged man in a plain white robe stepped into the reception room.

The white robe fluttered as the man walked, giving him a transcendent and elegant temperament.

This person was one of the top ten strongest men in the previous generation of the Jia Ma Empire, the eighth leader of the Yun Lan Sect, and Yun Yun's master:
Yunshan!

Guardian Wu sneered in his heart:
"After breaking through the Dou Zong level, you keep calling me 'this sect'. I really give you face! If it weren't for you, you would still be of some use..."

The guardian Wu actually wanted to pull Yunshan into the Soul Palace.

Even though he relied on special means, he is a Dou Zong after all.

But Yunshan had never been able to step into the door of Dou Zong before, and his mentality had changed due to years of depression.

Yunshan no longer pursued higher levels of cultivation, and he did not want to experience the wonders of Zhongzhou.

As his ambition grew, he wanted to stay in the Gama Empire and become a new legend in this barren land!
Therefore, from the moment Yunshan rejected the Protector Wu, in the eyes of the Protector Wu, Yunshan was just a tool to be used.

"Yunshan, the Soul Orb of the White Mist Branch has been stolen!"

Yunshan anticipated that since the guardian Wu asked him to rush over from the forbidden area of ​​the Yunlan Sect, it must be something big.

But I didn’t expect it to be such a big deal!
Dharma Protector Wu took the trouble to talk a little more and recounted the whole incident in detail.

Yunshan: "Please protect my disciple, Wu. This matter has nothing to do with her!"

"Irrelevant? Yunshan, have you become stupid after practicing for the past few years?"

The guardian Wu cursed at Yunshan:

"If it weren't for your blind disciple coming to White Mist City to cause trouble, why would this guardian show up?"

Of course, we need to investigate the traitor and who stole the Soul Orb. We also need to investigate who stole the Soul Orb.

But even the guardian Wu himself didn't know when the truth would be revealed.

But the losses must be compensated!

How to make up for it?

Of course, it’s looking for someone to take the blame!

Who should take the blame for this?
Beiguo has to carry it on his back!

But he couldn't carry it!
Then we can only look for Yun Yun.

In other words, Protector Wu needs to use Yun Yun as an excuse to get Yun Shan to help him do more things!
"This guardian has already taken action. I don't know how many people in Baiwu Mountain have seen it. Yunshan, you must come out of seclusion!"

Yunshan: "Guardian Wu, but my cultivation is not yet completely stable."

"That's your business! What does this have to do with me?"

The guardian of the duck is full of hostility:
"This guardian has limited patience. Otherwise, I will slaughter the Yunlan Sect and take the soul back to report! Yunshan, you can do whatever you want!"

Yunshan's heart sank and he lowered his head slightly:
"Guardian Wu, what do you want our sect to do?"

Wu Guardian: "I will give you a scroll of fighting skills, so that you can use your fighting spirit to evolve black mist. Although it is of no great use, you only need to pretend to be me. When the time is right, you must reveal your true identity!"

Yunshan: "I understand."

Guardian Wu: "More!"

Yunshan: "Does Guardian Wu have any other instructions?"

Guardian Wu: "You go to the headquarters, and you will make up for the loss of the White Mist Branch!"

Yunshan did not show any abnormality, but nodded slowly:

"it is good."

The guardian Wu shook his hands irritably:

"Go ahead. This protector will be waiting for your news."

After Yunshan left the reception room, his hands, which had been relaxed, began to clench into fists, making crackling sounds.

People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

It is impossible for Yunshan to have no resentment in his heart.

But now, he is still under the control of the protector Wu.

After all, the strength of the guardian Wu is far superior to his. But it is impossible for Yunshan to give up the Yunlan Sect!

He wants to lead the Yunlan Sect and surpass all the forces in the Jia Ma Empire!
This was a dream that had taken root in his heart when he joined the Yunlan Sect at a young age!
It’s a pity that his cultivation level stopped at the eight-star Douhuang level, and he was suppressed by the royal ancestor Jia Xingtian.

This incident became a barrier in his heart, and he made no progress for many years.

Now he has become a Dou Zong.

The Yunlan Sect should be above everything in the Jia Ma Empire, and should not become the pure soul energy in the soul bead of the guardian Wu!

"The Xiao family starts with you!"

Yunshan left. He had to go to the headquarters of Qingyun Club. Along the way, he was not in a very good mood.

The guardian Wu, who was staying at the Baiwu branch, was not in a good mood either.

What a coincidence!
Yang Shan is in a very good mood!

He took down the Seethrough, returned to Baiwu City, took back the Soul Orb from Su Yitong, and then went offline.

When he came online again, the system prompt arrived as expected:

[Ding! Players, please note that the pure soul energy has been absorbed.]

[Congratulations! You are gifted like an immortal and have perfectly absorbed all the pure soul energy in the Soul Pearl. The perfection of the mortal realm can no longer be a shackle for you. The door to the spiritual realm has been kicked open by you! ]

[Your current soul power strength is: Early stage of the spiritual realm! ]

[Early Spirit Realm: It has a significant amplification effect on refining medicine or equipment below the eighth grade, and it is easier to make the elixir reach perfection. The specific amplification depends on the player's situation and the difficulty of refining. ]

The soul power of the spiritual realm!

What is this concept?
In the original work, there is a rather important description of the spiritual realm.

That is, when refining the elixir, the soul power of the spiritual realm can give the elixir spirituality!
If a pill wants to reach the eighth grade, it must have "spirituality"!
Some powerful eighth-grade elixirs can even condense phantoms of living creatures!
For example, in the original novel, at the Danta Danhui competition, the eighth-grade elixir refined by Xiao Yan condensed into a dragon-shaped phantom!

In other words, in order to become an eighth-grade alchemist, one's soul power must reach the spiritual realm!
Yang Shan is only a fifth-grade alchemist now, but he already has the ticket to becoming an eighth-grade alchemist!
Not only that, there is another line of data on Yang Shan’s panel:
[Early to middle stage of the Spiritual Realm: 269922/300000. ]

Just a little over thirty thousand away from the middle stage of the spiritual realm!

It is worthy of being the “small treasury” treasured by the guardian Wu!
The soul power of the Soul Palace personnel is generally strong.

The soul power of the guardian Wu may have already reached the middle stage of the spiritual realm, and he is hoping that this small treasury will go further.

But he didn't expect that after lurking in the Gama Empire for so many years, he was really working for the Soul Palace for nothing and gained nothing!

If an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient saw these more than 30,000 points of pure soul energy, he would probably scratch his head and feel uncomfortable unless he filled it up!

But Yang Shan was not in a hurry at all.

Since the guardian Wu has his own "small treasury", Luo Xie must have one too.

When we return to the Black Horn Region, we will ask Luo Xie for help.

At worst, once you break into the Dou Wang realm and officially enter the Soul Palace, you should be able to learn the Soul Refining Array.

Yang Shan knew that the Qingyun Society’s headquarters should also have a soul-containing bead.

Moreover, its quality might be even higher than the soul bead that was just damaged.

After all, it was Protector Wu who took it back to report to the Soul Palace.

But Yang Shan had no intention of taking the soul bead.

Even if you don’t have the slush fund, you can always come back for it.

If Guardian Wu fails to complete the Soul Palace's mission, he will be severely punished when he returns to the Soul Palace.

The guardian Wu will definitely go crazy. Even if he has to turn the entire Gama Empire upside down, he must find out who did it!
Guardian Wu must be particularly concerned about the protection of the headquarters.

Open the door.

Su Yitong was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Yang Shan, Su Yitong smiled sweetly:

"Hello, boss! Thank you for your hard work!"

Yang Shan: "Next time, change your words. It sounds like the receptionist at a bathing center."

Su Yitang: "Does the boss go there often?"

If facing a man, Yang Shan would brag that he had a top VIP card at the magnificent hotel downstairs.

But when facing a woman, Yang Shan's answer was just two words:

"Occasionally."

Su Yitang's eyes clearly showed disbelief, but she said:
"Boss, you've been running around in the game these days, you must be very tired, it's good to relax more when you're offline."

Yang Shan: "Well, let's go to Wutan City."

Su Yitang blinked: "Boss, have you forgotten something?"

Yang Shan: “What?”

Su Yitang: "You haven't told me who the Spiritual Marrow Pill belongs to."

Yang Shan: "Oh, the two Spiritual Essence Pills, one will be put on the trading platform, and the other will be sold to Jin Shankao."

Su Yitang: "Huh? Doesn't that mean there's no hope for the three of us?"

Yang Shan: "My soul power has broken through the spiritual realm, and I will be more confident in refining the Spiritual Essence Pill. I will refine it after a while. By then, the price will be lower and you won't have to spend too much money."

Su Yitang nodded: "Understood!"

"Let's go. Time is running out. We have to hurry to Wutan City."

The main plot at the end of version 1.2 revolves around the Qingyun Society.

But the Qingyun Society ambushed alchemists in the five cities surrounding the Holy City of Gama, which was just a "warm-up" for the Qingyun Society.

The real core plot is the Xiao family in Wutan City!
Although this Xiao family is not the Xiao family in the original work.

But the Xiao family is still the force with the most players joining when the server is launched!

Millions of players continued to accept and complete tasks, causing the Xiao family's cultivation resources to skyrocket in a short period of time!
And because of Xiao Mei's sudden rise, the Xiao family became the fourth family in the Holy City of Gama!

This is also the result of the Xiao family not having a Dou Wang strongman in charge.

If there really is a Dou Wang, I'm afraid that the three major families may not be able to match the Xiao family in terms of overall strength!

Not only that, Xiao Mei has triggered many adventures from the first version of the server to now.

Not only has the panel been upgraded to gold, but its current level has reached that of a nine-star fighting spirit!

Even more perverted than Nalan Yanran!
All the skills and combat techniques obtained through adventures were placed in the Xiao family's secret vault for players to exchange for with contributions.

Besides, Xiao Mei was the Xiao family's "guide" when the server was first launched.

Many players choose to continue working in the Xiao family.

Especially some time ago, a player on the forum revealed that he had obtained a Xuan-level intermediate skill with golden characters from the Xiao family, which increased the popularity of the Xiao family again.

The Xiao family does not have a Dou Wang, so in order to stabilize its power, it must recruit strong people.

Therefore, the Xiao family now has a lot of powerful Dou Ling masters.

There are even a small number of Douling who are players!
Xiao Aotian relied on the accumulation from the launch of the server to the present, as well as the recent cooperation with Yang Shan to monopolize the profits of the Soul Tempering Pill, registered a virtual entertainment company, and established a guild in Doupo:
Tianyan Alliance!
And relying on his own fame and guild benefits, he signed many top-notch players who have entered the Douling level!
Relying on the Xiao family, the Tianyan League has developed very rapidly and has now grown into a top guild that is no weaker than the Tianhao League.

Today, Xiao Aotian ended his retreat and put the pills he had refined during this period on the trading floor.

Because of the elixir refining process, Xiao Aotian's level progress was slowed down a bit, and now he is only at the four-star Dou Ling level.

"I don't know how Yang Yidao leveled up. He is an eight-star Douling and a fifth-rank alchemist. Is he really a vegetable?"

Xiao Aotian arrived at Xiao Mei's courtyard with ease.

"Aotian, you are here."

Many players want to have an unclear relationship with Xiao Mei.

But Xiao Mei now seems to be only in love with Xiao Aotian.

Xiao Aotian chatted with Xiao Mei for a while and successfully obtained a difficult task from Xiao Mei.

Go to the Monster Mountain Range and kill a fourth-level beast king.

In order to prevent the Beast King from escaping, Xiao Aotian specially called for a helper:
Li Batian!
Xiao Aotian originally signed the contract simply because the other party's name suited his personality.

However, he did not expect that the other party had many adventures afterwards, and his strength improved rapidly. Now he has become one of the strongest forces in the Tianyan League!

"Brother Xiao!"

"Laoli, let's go!"

After the two left Wutan City, they immediately summoned their mounts and headed towards the Monster Mountain Range.

The mission target was fifty miles away from them, so it would take some time to get there.

But before they had gone halfway, they were ambushed.

The other party was wearing the uniform of Qingyun Society!

But the most crucial thing was that when the leading NPC rushed towards them, brilliant wings of light appeared behind him!

Xiao Aotian was horrified:
"Dou Wang?"

Different from the Black Horn Region, the Dou Wang of Qingyun Society basically have purple seals!

Although the Qingyun Club Fighting King in front of him is called Guan Zhenggen, and although he is only one star, his panel is indeed quite gorgeous.

Xiao Aotian took down the giant ruler as tall as a man, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes:

"I have never killed a Dou Wang with a purple seal!"

Li Batian beside him had already taken action. He wrapped his earth-attributed Dou Qi around his fist and smashed it hard at the Dou Wang named Guan Zhenggen, shouting:
"Brother Xiao, if you have a green mountain, you will not be short of firewood. Let's go first!"

Xiao Aotian: "Leave? When have I, Xiao Aotian, ever been a coward? Fuck him!"

Li Batian: "It's better for me to lose stars alone than for both of us to lose stars!"

Although Li Batian's fist is hard, it is still somewhat inferior in front of Dou Wang.

Guan Zhenggen easily blocked Li Batian's fist and sneered:
"Run? None of you can escape today! Do it!"

Guan Zhenggen also brought seven high-star Dou Ling this time!

If it was just Guan Zhenggen, Xiao Aotian and Li Batian joining forces, there might still be a certain chance.

The pressure from Guan Zhenggen was too great, Xiao Aotian and Li Batian simply didn't have the extra energy to deal with the seven Dou Lings!
Just at this moment, a leisurely voice came from the forest:
"Well, Boss Xiao, do you need any help?"

　At the end of last month, Sky's grandmother passed away.

　　He was 83 years old, and it wasn’t painful when he passed away.

　　The most tiring thing was the day before yesterday, when I had to keep vigil for my grandmother and then go up the mountain early in the morning to bury her, so the sky must have not slept for 25 hours.

　　Therefore, it is extremely difficult to maintain a daily turnover recently.

　　The sky is not crying, that’s why I’m telling you guys only after the matter is settled.

　　I just want to apologize to all the Doudi.

　　If there are any minor flaws in the content during this period, please forgive me.

　　The sky will adjust its status as soon as possible and write the next plot.

　　Well, the foreshadowing and transitions have been completed, and the final plot of the version is:

　　Xiao family VS Qingyun Club!
　　Start immediately!
