Chapter 588 Additional Teleportation Platforms
The seabed of the South China Sea is a kaleidoscope of colors.
The colorful corals of the fairy reef emit a dazzling halo, bringing a mesmerizing glow to this dark sea.
Groups of fish and beasts, including giant octopuses and sirens five or six meters tall, can be seen everywhere.
As Xu Xiao's immortal boat landed, the sea monsters and fish scattered and fled, not daring to approach at all.
Even without intelligence, the overwhelming pressure from Xu Xiao and his group as immortals undergoing tribulation made them sense the danger.
Guided by Li Hongmei, the flying boat traversed the coral seaweed and arrived at a giant underwater pit.
Inside the giant pit, specks of celestial light shone, and countless figures were using spiritual power to cut through the spirit ore and transport it out.
"This is the Golden Toad Clan?"
Xu Xiao stood on the deck of the immortal ship, looking down, his eyes slightly shifting.
Now, with his extraordinary eyesight and the aid of his top-tier divine sense, he can see the Golden Toad Clan members mining the mines clearly.
Each member of the Golden Toad Clan was basically only wearing a pair of black and gray shorts made of some unknown material.
The exposed skin was golden yellow, dotted with dark spots, which was quite frightening.
They had no hair; they were all bald.
Their appearance was normal, except for their large, protruding eyes, which were excessively large and quite bright.
They are larger than humans, and are robust and strong.
After the Golden Toad clan transformed into human form, this is what they looked like.
"They are human cultivators!"
"Quickly inform the clan leader! Human cultivators are definitely here to steal the spirit mine!"
The Golden Toad Clan members on guard outside the Spirit Mine spotted the approaching celestial ship in the distance, their faces filled with alarm, and they called out to their clansmen.
They had long known that the Xuan Yin Immortal Sect and the Sixteen Cities of Yunyin on the human side would not give up, and they were already prepared.
"The arrival of the Xuan Yin Immortal Sect and friends from the Sixteen Cities brings great honor to my Golden Toad Clan."
A giant tortoise-like beast swam in from afar, carrying a dozen or so figures who had clearly been stationed near the spirit mine for some time.
As they approached the flying boat, everyone looked over.
A dozen or so Golden Toad Clan members stood on the back of the Black-Armored Tortoise.
These golden toad people are different from those digging below; they are of slightly normal size.
Except for some golden skin, they are almost indistinguishable from humans, having fully transformed into the Golden Toad Clan.
Li Hongmei reminded Nangong Yan: "Elder Nangong, the old man wearing earrings at the front is Jin Dayou, the patriarch of the Golden Toad Clan. Both of the Human Immortal Elders are here. It seems that the Golden Toad Clan knew we were coming and had been waiting for us."
Nangong Yan nodded and looked over. The old man who had just spoken was wearing a yellow robe and holding a golden staff.
The old man was bald and wore a pair of shiny earrings.
"Clan Chief Jin, how have you been?" Nangong Yan stepped forward with a cold smile.
The city lords and elders, including Nangong Huaji, seemed slightly nervous.
All the way there, they wondered if Elder Nangong would simply use a talisman to destroy the other party.
Damn it, that cancerous Xu Xiao, his ideas are absolutely awful.
Even if we can wipe them out, they won't be able to mine with peace of mind!
They covered their faces and shook their heads, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.
If someone dares to give you a talisman from a celestial being, they might actually have one in their pocket—a scourge of the celestial realm, not to be trifled with...
"Peak Human Immortal? Elder Liu Qingqian of the Yin Yang Immortal Sect?"
The Yellow-Robed Golden Toad Clan Chief stared at Nangong Yan with wide eyes, "Wait, you're Nangong Yan! You've actually cultivated to the peak of the Human Immortal realm?!"
The visitor was not Liu Qingqian, who was in charge of the sixteen cities, which seemed to be unexpected for Jin Dayou.
Nangong Yan said directly, "Elder Liu has important matters to attend to, so I will handle the spirit mine affairs on her behalf."
"Clan Chief Jin, since you knew we were coming, let's get straight to the point. Give me half of the spiritual vein from the sixteen cities, and we'll explore it together."
"If you agree, your Golden Toad Clan and my Yin Yang Immortal Sect will naturally maintain a lasting friendship."
After careful consideration, Nangong Yan decided on her destination on the way.
Exterminating the entire clan and then finding and eliminating the members of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect as well is quite risky.
If the other party agrees to give up half of the spirit mine, then both sides will be fine and can shake hands and make peace.
With the two top-tier Immortal talismans given to her by Xu Xiao, she was confident that she would take at least half of them!
Upon hearing this, Jin Dayou, the patriarch of the Golden Toad Clan, did not give a direct reply, but chuckled and said, "I did not expect that Fellow Daoist Nangong could break through to the peak of the Human Immortal realm. It seems that you have found a way to heal your Dao injury. Congratulations!"
Nangong Yan used to be in charge of the Eight Cities of Yunyin. Although they weren't exactly acquainted, they had met before.
Xu Xiao simply listened from the side without saying a word.
Whether or not he silences the witnesses doesn't really affect him much; as long as the two talismans are successfully delivered, that's enough.
And then there's Li Hongmei, the woman of good fortune; let's finish this quickly so he can go back and find an opportunity to deliver a critical hit back.
It's good to go out and do more missions; you'll always have the chance to meet new lucky ladies.
Not bad.
Nangong Yan waved her hand: "Clan Chief Jin, there's no need for further words. Let's just talk about business. The spirit mine spans both of our territories, and we want half of it."
"If you do not agree, my Yin Yang Immortal Sect will not allow it!"
The tone was already threatening.
If it weren't for the news that the mere branch of the Golden Toad Clan had defected to the Pure Yang Immortal Sect, they would have forcibly expelled them.
Possessing talismans, she spoke with a firm tone.
Jin Dayou remained unperturbed, chuckled, and tapped the tortoise shell with his golden staff. "Elder Nangong, most of the spirit mines are within the territory of my Golden Toad Clan, and are therefore resources of my Golden Toad Clan."
"Even if your Yin Yang Immortal Sect is powerful, you still have to follow the rules, right?"
"Could it be that they think my Golden Toad Clan is weak and want to forcibly seize my clan's territory and spirit mines?"
"This Spirit Realm is not something your Yin Yang Immortal Sect can decide!"
After saying that, he moved his body, and two men in white robes stepped forward from behind.
The two looked at Nangong Yan, their brows furrowing slightly. One of them thought to himself, "It wasn't Liu Qingqian who came? Senior Brother has miscalculated this time..."
"A cultivator from the Pure Yang Immortal Sect?"
The group on the flying boat noticed something and recognized the two young men as members of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect based on their clothing.
The two exuded the aura of the ninth level of the Human Immortal realm. The taller one laughed and said, "Elder Nangong, the Golden Toad Clan has already submitted to my Pure Yang Immortal Sect. This spirit mine is also a resource of my Pure Yang Immortal Sect."
"However, my senior brother Qingfeng from the inner sect specifically instructed that if Elder Liu Qingqian comes in person, she can visit my Chunyang Immortal Sect. My senior brother will discuss the matter of spirit mines with her and guarantee that your Yin Yang Immortal Sect will be satisfied."
The two introduced themselves, both being inner disciples of the Chunyang Immortal Sect.
"Should we have Elder Liu personally go to the Chunyang Immortal Sect to negotiate?"
"What's going on?!"
The people on the immortal boat were stunned, and for a moment they did not understand what the Pure Yang Immortal Sect meant.
Instead of directly refusing the spirit mine, they sent Elder Liu to the Pure Yang Immortal Sect.
Nangong Yan's expression gradually turned hostile. Shameless!
Of course she knew about Qingfeng of the Chunyang Immortal Sect, but she never expected that after all this time, he would still be thinking of this!
Besides her, Li Hongmei, who was standing next to her, also seemed to notice something strange.
Her delicate and beautiful face showed a hint of disdain, feeling that Qingfeng of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect would stop at nothing for Liu Qingqian.
"What's going on?" Xu Xiao sensed that the atmosphere had suddenly become a bit strange.
