Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2074 Treasure Tree
Peach Blossom Valley.

After Qingjun and Qinsang left, this place became a holy place of Qingyang Temple. Occasionally, the sword cultivators would come to worship Qingzhu, and the furnishings in the valley remained almost unchanged.

Yu Nu learned the craft of brewing wine and used the peach blossoms in the valley to brew peach blossom wine. She excitedly took out a jar of sealed wine and asked Qin Sang to taste it.

It is still the same pavilion, the same peach blossom wine, but the person opposite has changed, and no one knows where the person from that year is now.

Qin Sang picked up the wine glass and smelled the aroma of wine.

After the wine entered his stomach, Qin Sang closed his eyes and savored it for a while, praising it, "Good wine."

Yu Nu was so happy that her eyes narrowed with laughter.

Without staying here for too long, Qin Sang parted ways with Yu Nu, took Li Yu Fu and flew east for a while, arriving at a mortal world.

The morning mist below has not yet dissipated.

Qin Sang saw a peaceful mountain village, nestled in the mountains and beside the water, quiet and peaceful, with pleasant scenery all around.

However, the villagers are not simple, and there are many cultivators with an aura of immortals. The seemingly ordinary mountain village is actually protected by a forbidden formation. The scene revealed outside is not all, there is another world inside.

Ordinary immortal cultivation families don’t have such a big hand.

"It is said that this is the hometown of Master Mu, and Master Mu asked Shaohuashan to bury him here..."

Li Yufu pointed his finger downwards and said.

There is a mountain behind the village, which is also a place that is heavily protected by the formation. There is a tomb there, which is the tomb of Mu Yifeng!
Although the formation here is strong, it cannot be compared with the mountain protection formations of various sects. Naturally, it is impossible to stop them. Seeing that Qin Sang did not make any move, he took Li Yufu through the formation and came to the tomb in the back mountain.

Qin Sang put down a pot of wine and stared at the tombstone silently.

He didn't have many friends before, and it was even harder to find someone he could confide in. Now Tan Hao is gone, and so is Mu Yifeng.

In front of the bronze palace, Mu Yifeng shattered his own Nine Fire Divine Sword to spare his life. He can still remember it vividly.

Li Yufu felt the sadness of his uncle-master and sighed inwardly. Fairy Liuli and he both knew that his uncle-master and Sect Master Mu had a deep friendship and that Sect Master Mu's spiritual energy was certainly not lacking, but in the end they were unable to reverse fate.

At this moment, Li Yufu suddenly felt a breath approaching. A moment later, a ray of light appeared on the horizon. The light seemed to be passing by, but suddenly turned halfway and fell towards them.

This ray of light also disappeared without alerting the monks in the village.

Li Yufu was a little surprised that the person who came was the current leader of Shaohua Mountain - Qiu Mubai.

Then, Li Yufu found Qiu Mubai staring at him in surprise. He was stunned and then realized that his master did not cast a spell to hide their tracks.

Qin Sang turned around slowly. He had not originally planned to visit, but since they met here, there was no need to deliberately avoid each other.

When Qiu Mubai recognized Qin Sang, his whole body trembled. Moreover, Qin Sang did not hide his cultivation from him. Feeling the grand and profound aura from Qin Sang, he was even more shocked.

Qiu Mubai had never thought that he would face this Junior Brother Qin again in this life. He was a little overwhelmed when he suddenly met him. As the leader of a sect and a master in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he had not lost his composure like this in a long time.

It was Qin Sang who bowed first and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu."

Qiu Mubai's expression was slightly moved, but he calmed down and returned the greeting solemnly, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qin."

Qin Sang called him "fellow Taoist" to show his attitude.

Without Mu Yifeng, Qin Sang and Shaohua Mountain’s relationship was completely severed.

Everything that happened in Shaohua Mountain is now in the past. Gratitude and resentment have all gone with the wind. Qin Sang will not make things difficult for him because of Dongyang Bo.

There will be no criticism, and no discrimination. From now on, they are just fellow Taoists.

For Qiu Mubai, this is undoubtedly the best result.

After greeting each other, Qin Sang did not speak again, and continued to look at Mu Yifeng's tombstone silently. Qiu Mubai was still in a state of agitation, and did not know what to say.

Li Yufu felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward and asked, "Did Sect Master Qiu come here specially to pay tribute to Sect Master Mu?"

Qiu Mubai said: "I was returning from the outer sea and passed by here. I don't know why I suddenly felt like coming to see Junior Brother Mu. I didn't expect to meet two fellow Taoists here."

He spoke more and more fluently, and at the same time he realized that Qin Sang did not put any pressure on him. Everything came from his mental block.

Realizing this, Qiu Mubai suddenly felt relieved. He looked at Mu Yifeng's tombstone and half-narrated and half-explained: "When Junior Brother Mu came back seriously injured that time, I thought he would turn a disaster into a blessing and break through the barrier like before..."

Having said that, Qiu Mubai smiled kindly.

Qin Sang also smiled. It seemed that everyone knew Mu Yifeng's "characteristic". Unfortunately, good luck could not last forever.

"Have you found the person who injured him?" Qin Sang asked.

Qiu Mubai looked ashamed: "My enemy is an island master of the Changyou tribe. His cultivation is one level higher than mine. He has always been in the rear and rarely shows up on the battlefield. I have never been able to find a chance to avenge Junior Brother Mu!"

Qin Sang nodded and said calmly, "Leave this person to me."

They talked for a while in front of the tomb. Qiu Mubai invited them to visit the mountain gate, and Qin Sang agreed.

As Qiu Mubai's skills improved, Shaohua Mountain's power was no longer comparable to the past, and it was one of the top sects in the four regions of the North Sea. The gate of Shaohua Mountain was also much more impressive than before, but the core areas were still the same as before.

Jianmen Pass, Jingyue Peak, Pagoda Peak, Daomen Peak...

Qin Sang can always see the shadow of the past and those unforgettable memories.

Qiu Mubai was still practicing in the cave where Duke Dongyang lived in the past. There was wind and snow on the top of the mountain, and it was very deserted. The furnishings in the cave were also very simple.

The host and the guests took their seats. Qiu Mubai served the spiritual tea himself without asking a Taoist boy to do anything.

The stone gate was open, but the wind and snow could not penetrate at all.

Qiu Mubai made a request, picked up the jade cup and took a sip. He looked outside through the curling tea mist and said quietly, "Revitalizing the sect is Master's lifelong wish, and it is also Junior Brother Mu's wish. Back then, when I took over the position of Sect Master from Junior Brother Mu, I was always trembling with fear, as if treading on thin ice."

Qin Sang smiled faintly and said, "Dongyang Bo would never have thought that Shaohua Mountain could have such a grand atmosphere. Daoist friend has done a great job."

"In the lower realm, perhaps you can say that. But looking at the world, there are countless powerful tribes and countless mysterious forces. The Changyou tribe alone can trap us here. What can a small Shaohua Mountain count for?"

Qiu Mubai sighed, "The road ahead is full of internal and external troubles. Back then, my master told me not to worry too much about the sect, but I couldn't do it after all."

"Are the internal troubles that Daoist friend mentioned related to Taoism?" Qin Sang asked.

Qiu Mubai's expression straightened up, "That's right!"

This is the biggest challenge facing all cultivators and sects, and Shaohua Mountain is no exception.

But think about how Duke Dongyang treated Qin Sang back then. Qin Sang was lucky that he didn't feel resentful. How could he dare to ask for anything else?

Now that Qin Sang asked about it, he felt a glimmer of hope.

Qin Sang pondered and said, "If there is a great way before you, but you need to change your cultivation method, what will you choose?"

Qiu Mubai's expression froze, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Do you want to change your sect?"

Qin Sang said, "It's all right."

Qiu Mubai understood that he didn't need to change his sect, that is, he could stay in the original sect. But the Dharma would not be passed on lightly. If you practice the Dharma, you must accept its cause and effect. The best result is to respect it and worship it as the supreme sect!

The worst result is that the disciples are attracted by the method that can point to the Great Dao, and change to practice this method, while the master's method gradually becomes unpopular. Practicing the method and admiring the Dao, people's hearts have changed, and it can no longer be saved.

It is no exaggeration to say that cultivators yearn for the Great Dao. Unless Qin Sang sets a threshold, how could everyone who pursues the Great Dao be willing to join a sect with incomplete Dao methods?

By then, our own Taoist tradition will disappear silently, and our sect will exist in name only.

Qiu Mubai lowered his head and fell into a long period of thinking. This was an extremely difficult decision. He knew that with Qin Sang's strength and reputation, he could completely force the unification of the Storm Realm and destroy other sects. No one could stop his will.

He did not do so in order to leave a little room for the various sects and retain a share of incense. Of course, no matter what Qin Sang chooses, Qingyang Temple will definitely become the master of the Storm Realm, above all other forces.

Finally, Qiu Mubai let out a long sigh and said carefully: "For my own sake, I am willing to practice this method in order to seek the great Dao. But for the sake of the sect, the teachings of the master must not be cut off, and the disciples must not be cut off. Even if I have to use a side path to achieve a higher realm, I will turn back and deduce the method for the master!"

"I understand."

Qin Sang nodded, stood up and said, "Qin has just returned and needs to go somewhere else, so I won't bother you anymore. I hope you won't reveal what happened today to anyone for the time being."

"I understand."

Qiu Mubai sent Qin Sang and the other two out of the cave. He stood on the top of the mountain, motionless for a long time.

……

Li Yufu followed behind Qin Sang and couldn't help feeling excited.

The master did not say it explicitly, but it was not difficult for him to guess that he had already painted a grand and broad picture in his mind.

Qin Sang thought to himself that Qiu Mubai's attitude should be able to represent most of the sects in the Storm Realm. No matter what, when faced with the crisis of their path being cut off, there is a Taoist method in front of them that they cannot completely reject.

However, if someone is determined enough, he will not be intolerant as long as it does not harm his temple.

After leaving Shaohua Mountain, they continued to head north, and Qin Sang learned that the head of the Han family was still alive.

When the Chunyang Sect split, Patriarch Han followed one of the factions. Later, he achieved great success in his cultivation and subdued the other half of his fellow disciples. He restored the Chunyang Sect and took the position of Sect Master.

However, he has not yet broken through to the Spiritual Transformation stage and is currently in seclusion. He must have had some kind of opportunity to live until now, but his life span is probably coming to an end, and this is his only chance.

After Qin Sang became a Taoist, he did not have much contact with the head of the Han family, and they could not be said to be close friends. But after all, they were old friends who had met during the Sui Dynasty and had a karmic relationship. He ordered Li Yufu to send him an elixir so as not to disturb his practice.

They flew out of the seven great passes and arrived at the ancient immortal battlefield.

Without the raging storm, the ancient immortal battlefield gradually returned to calm. The ancient forbidden areas fell silent, and it looked no different from other places. There were mortals living here, and there were also cultivators practicing here.

The monks from the Storm Realm later explored this place countless times and gained various opportunities.

Qin Sang flew all the way to the end of the ancient immortal battlefield. It was not as mysterious as he had imagined. It was no different from other places. At the end was the ocean, and all the wonders were brought by the Ziwei Palace.

After wandering around the ancient immortal battlefield, Qin Sang sensed the fluctuations of several ancient forbidden formations, but these no longer appealed to him and were left to the right person.

After that, when they were about to leave Xiaohan Territory, Qin Sang remembered something. In the past, a Vajra Fruit was lost outside, and he asked his disciples to look for it, but found nothing.

I asked Li Yufu again, and he said there had been no news about the Vajra Fruit in these years. I wonder who got it.

Qin Sang suddenly had an idea and released his spiritual sense to scan the former Beichen Desert inch by inch.

A lot of time was wasted, but there was no trace of any clues. Just when Qin Sang was about to give up, he suddenly felt something and his figure flashed to the sea and appeared above a small island.

This island is located to the west of the Beichen Desert. It is just an ordinary deserted island with thick bird droppings accumulated on it and no human habitation.

The vegetation here is lush and full of vitality, but Qin Sang saw a slender little tree in the jungle.

The small tree is only knee-high, with a slender trunk and only a few green leaves. It is surrounded by towering ancient trees that block out the sunlight.

It looks like just an ordinary small tree. Unless the ancient tree next to it dies, there will be no space for it to grow.

"That diamond fruit has actually taken root and sprouted here!"

Qin Sang was surprised. This was exactly a young Vajra Bodhi tree!
There is nothing magical about this tree. If Qin Sang had not seen the real Vajra Bodhi tree with his own eyes and found the leaf shape familiar, he would probably have overlooked it.

However, the leaves of the Vajra Bodhi tree he had seen were golden and huge, while the golden color could only be detected in the veins of this small tree when one looked closely.

This difference may be because the sacred objects are self-concealed and will not show any magical powers until the sacred tree grows.

Qin Sang's spiritual sense swept across the entire island. There were no cultivators' caves here, and no corpses around. He had no idea how he had ended up here.

When the Vajra Fruit grows into a Vajra Bodhi Tree, it loses its own characteristics. Only when the sacred tree bears new Vajra Fruits can it become one of the ten sacred trees.

But I don’t know when I can see it.

Regardless, this was an unexpected surprise. Even if this sacred tree did not bear fruit, it could still be used as a treasure for Qingyang Temple, and was no less valuable than any other treasure in the world.

Qin Sang set up a forbidden formation, activated the earth veins, and made all the necessary arrangements before he carefully dug out the Vajra Bodhi tree and temporarily placed it in the small cave, to be transplanted to a suitable place later.

Afterwards, they left Xiaohan Territory and headed straight for Yinri Territory, one of the four realms of Beichen.

Outside the mountain gate of Xuantian Palace.

Qin Sang and Li Yufu stood on the top of the snow-capped mountain, waiting for a moment. A figure flew over from a distance and said in a distant voice: "Since the master of the temple is here, why don't you come in and be our guest?"

The person who came was Tong Lingyu, now the Palace Master of Xuantian Palace.

In order to plan the Taoist temple, Qin Sang will not show up in public, but he still wants to meet those old friends who are trustworthy so that they can feel confident and cooperate with him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin?"

As expected, when Tong Lingyu saw Qin Sang, her face was filled with shock and her heart was shaken.

After the two of them reminisced about the past, Tong Lingyu sighed from the bottom of her heart, "It's a pity that Liuli is not here! You know her temper. Once she makes up her mind about something, nine dragons can't pull her back. Over the years, she has shouldered the heavy burden of the world alone, and finally someone can help her share the burden."
