longevity road trip

As for the magical weapons and treasures obtained from the Horrible Suffering Palace, Zhang Shiping only picked out more than [-] ordinary magic weapons and handed them over to Zhang Tianya first to enrich the Zhang family's treasury.

It's not that the members of the Zhang family want to exchange for these magical artifacts without any price. They also need to use spirit stones or family contribution points.

Of course, the price is [-]-[-]% lower than other stores outside.

But Zhang Shiping doesn't just have to pay. As the patriarch of the family, although he doesn't need any family contribution points.

However, after the golden core, part of his daily practice was accumulated by the family monks bit by bit.

Over the past two hundred years, these spirit stones have accumulated an extremely shocking amount.

Otherwise, Zhang Shiping would have to retreat for several years or even decades. Even with the support of a cave with abundant aura like Qinghuogu, it would be difficult for him to improve his practice so diligently.

In fact, in the final analysis, the sect and the family are almost the same situation, the high-level monks shelter the low-level monks to practice, and the low-level monks earn spiritual stones to provide for the high-level monks.As for the future when the high-level monks have enough energy, they will naturally train some low-level monks to serve them better.

This is a matter of mutual benefit, and it is difficult to say which party suffers.It's just that the high-level monks have more initiative. After all, the world of cultivating immortals is based on strength, but among the many low-level monks, there will also be some who have outstanding spiritual roots, or have extraordinary scheming, or have deep blessings. , stand out from among them, climb up slowly, and become the new Jindan Daoist or even Nascent Soul Daoist after thousands of years.

So repeatedly, the cycle is endless.

This is roughly the way the world of cultivating immortals works. It seems simple, but once people's hearts show preferences, things will become complicated.

……

……

On the other side, after receiving the summons from Zhang Shiping and Yan Li, Cui Xiaotian, the True Lord of Tianfeng Mountain, began to prepare for the Nascent Soul Ceremony of the two.

He sent many disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect to invite the major Nascent Soul sects and families in Nanzhou, and there are also some well-known Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators who have fixed cultivation caves.

The celebration time was set for the Waking of Insects three years later.

After all, although Yuanying Zhenjun can ride the teleportation circle, the distance of the journey is not a big restriction for them.

But because not every Nascent Soul cultivator is free at any time, some are refining alchemy, some are practicing, and they cannot stop immediately, so it is necessary to set aside enough time.

……

Chapter 763 Spirit Stone Mine

As teams of monks flew out of Binhai City, within a few months, these one hundred and nine invitations were sent to the hands of Yuanying Zhenjun, and the two newcomers Xuanyuanzong Shiheng and Xuanbai The name of Zhenjun Yuanying has also spread all over the place, resounding throughout Nanzhou.

And just a few months later, at noon when the scorching sun was at its peak, in the Green Fire Valley, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and the reverberating sounds echoed in the valley non-stop.

After a while, the sound became more and more agitated from low to high, like a Kui drum and thunder.

Originally breathing out spiritual energy, Bai Qi heard the sound of stepping on the stone suddenly, raised his head and roared along with the rumbling drum.

But Jiang Si was staring at the direction of the valley with a solemn expression, secretly wondering what kind of magical power Zhang Shiping was practicing, and his breath increased a lot.

Although the fluctuation of spiritual energy has not yet reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the blood energy that emanates from the bottom of the valley is not as good as those monster cultivators who specialize in physique in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Zhang Shiping was refining the third Chiyang Lingzhu, which was condensed into Wuhuo Spiritual Essence, and with the blood flowing from the whole body, it finally gathered in the heart.

After a long time, the sound of the drum gradually died down, and Bai Qi's roar finally overwhelmed Zhang Shiping's heartbeat.

"Silly cat, be quiet." Jiang Ruyin reprimanded.

But Bai Qi didn't respond, but a monk in white robe appeared beside him. After several months of practice, Zhang Shiping finally stepped out of the pool of flames.

Zhang Shiping stroked the soft hair on Bai Qi's body, and said with a smile, "Okay, I know you are happy for me."

As soon as Jiang Si saw someone, he flew over, "Congratulations, master, for your success in cultivation."

"Successful in practice? This is still far away. When I complete this method, it will also be the day when I will be promoted to the middle stage." Zhang Shiping said.

"This kind of thing, for the master, it's too soon." Jiang Xi said flatteringly.

"Okay, there's no need to say this kind of thing." Zhang Shiping said in a calm tone, and then stretched out his hand, and hundreds of sound transmission jades floating in the formation flew over.

Scanning these jade slips with his spiritual sense, he saw clearly the contents, which were words of congratulations from the Golden Core monks of the Xuanyuan Sect, as well as nearby small sects and families.

After reading it, Zhang Shiping laughed and put it away, leaving only a jade slip from the Li family on Feiyu Island.

He poured his spiritual consciousness into it, left a paragraph of words, and then sent it out with a wave of his sleeves, and then took out the "Wan Jiansheng" jade slip, sat cross-legged next to Bai Qi, read it intently, and pondered it' Xuanji Doukui Sword's refining method.

Although there are many kinds of spiritual materials obtained from the Horrible Suffering Sect, it is still not enough to make up a complete set of [-] flying swords.

However, if he uses other spiritual objects and replaces them with the sect, he can also make up 49 flying sword materials.

For the matter of refining weapons, even a master figure cannot guarantee that everything he refines will be successful, so Zhang Shiping has to think hard first, and first refine some low-level magic weapons to practice his hands. There are only twenty or thirty mouthfuls of Feijian.

Time is like this, several hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, a cyan streamer flew from the South China Sea and landed outside the Green Fire Valley.

A middle-aged cultivator with a jade-like face and a feather crown on his head said loudly, "My junior, Li Zhilin from Feiyu Island, pays homage to Zhenjun Shiheng."

Then, after he sent the sound transmission jade slips he had prepared into the circle, he stood there with a solemn face and waited quietly.

Not long after, the Green Fire Valley magic circle revealed a portal that could pass through others, and Zhang Shiping's voice transmission came out from it, "Come in."

Hearing the sound, Li Zhilin bowed again and said, "Thank you, Zhenjun."

Then he quickly walked into the circle.

"Go and pick it up." Zhang Shiping patted Bai Qi and said.

Bai Qi stood up reluctantly, jumped off the bluestone, and ran quickly towards the road into the valley.

Soon it brought Li Zhilin over, jumped onto the bluestone, returned to Zhang Shiping and lay down again.

"I don't know why the real monarch called the younger generation?" Li Zhilin asked respectfully.

"You should have thought of it too. According to the old rules, a newly promoted Nascent Soul like me can choose any spirit stone mine in the sect that is not under the name of other Nascent Souls. I have taken a fancy to your Li family in Bihu Island. I will tell you in advance about the Wood Spirit Mine. Ever since Zhenjun Feiyu passed away, your Li family has continued to own this mine for hundreds of years, which is long enough." Zhang Shiping said bluntly.

"Your junior understands. Don't worry, Zhenjun. After I go back, I will withdraw all the people from Bihu Island." Li Zhilin was not too surprised when he heard it, but his expression still darkened.

At present, there are not many high-grade spiritual mines in Xuanyuanzong's side. Apart from those owned by other ancestors, there are only three left. Among them, the richer ones belong to the two on Feiyu Island and Sanyuan Island.

At this time, two Yuanying patriarchs suddenly appeared on the Zongmen's side, and it was inevitable that there would be two high-level spiritual mines divided again.

However, the ancestor Yuan Ying of the Lu family in Sanyuan Island, who had already passed away, had been kind to Gong Yangqian, so she had already mentioned this matter to Zhang Shiping and Yan Li, hoping to save the Lu family. The share of spirit stone veins.

As for Zhenjun Feiyu of Feiyu Island and the sweetheart of Mingxinzong, although they are best friends, a Yuanying from the outer sect can't affect the internal affairs of Xuanyuanzong.

What's more, in Baimang Mountain before, Mozun led all those transformation gods and great monks into the spirit world, so it would be even more embarrassing.

However, the Li family also suffered from the shadow of Zhenjun Feiyu for hundreds of years, so it was enough.

"It's good that you understand. I called you here this time just to clarify with you first, so as to prepare in advance." Zhang Shiping said.

"Liujia True Strategies" begins with Wuhuo Spiritual Extract, with its god as the heart, and then Yinmu Spiritual Extract, with its god as its bone.

Now, of course, he has to prepare for the follow-up practice in advance, so that after he has cultivated to the first layer of "Liujia True Strategies" Noon Fire, he will not have half a piece of wood attribute treasures for practice when he reaches the level of Yinmu. .

The Zhang family is a new Yuanying family, and Yan Li, an old family of the Yan family, has naturally considered this point. Naturally, he will not deliberately compete with Zhang Shiping for a spiritual stone mine.

Furthermore, the Yanyu Tower is still there, and the high-grade spirit stone vein under his name is still being mined at the moment, so naturally there is no shortage of everything.

Zhang Shiping exchanged a few more words with Li Zhilin, and then told him to make preparations earlier, to hand over the spirit stone vein earlier.At that time, the monks from the Zhang family will naturally take over.

……

……

After more than two years, the Day of Awakening of Insects is approaching.

In the past few days, ghosts of Nascent Soul cultivators with profound auras flew over Binhai City from time to time.

At this time, both Zhang Shiping and Yan Li were present, and several Nascent Souls of Xuanyuanzong were receiving other fellow Taoists.

Chapter 764

Above Nanzhou, there are white clouds rising in the northwest far away, reaching Binhai City, approaching the nine colors of clouds and clouds, the brilliance of auspicious mist flickering, the sound of drums shaking the sky, and the sound of the gods.

From time to time, people who rode on a chariot or rode strange beasts came from outside the sky, and the real monarchs who came came from the sky, and the true kings who came were often dressed in gorgeous clothes, with bright literary colors and peerless looks.

There were also a few seemingly inconspicuous old men, dressed in ordinary clothes, who stepped into the city and came to the gate of Lianggu Peak. Under the guidance of Xuanyuanzong Jindan Daoist, they climbed up the mountain slowly and disappeared in the Yu Lin. Among them, between the spirit fog.

I saw that on Lianggu Peak, which is usually simple and elegant, at this moment, in the green mountains and green waters, under the turbulent waterfalls, looking past, colorful tents, forests, jade towers and palaces, all filled with Qionghua brilliance.

Among them, there is a nine-storey Xuantai with golden tables with colorful colors and jade pots with thousands of flowers all around. On each table, there are all kinds of delicacies and delicacies neatly placed.

The time has come, and nearly a hundred monks who were invited came to the table one after another.

Although Xuanyuanzong sent out a total of [-] invitations and it lasted for three years, some Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't spare time to come to the banquet because they were practicing secret techniques in seclusion or because they had urgent matters. Let the disciples or clansmen send gifts as congratulations.

Everyone was drinking and chatting, a harmonious and festive scene.

Even the several Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had old grievances before saw each other, and no one violently raised their voices on this occasion.

And after today's banquet, the Xuanyuan Sect's Yan Family Zhenjun Xuanbai and Zhang Family Shiheng Zhenjun were also truly known, and there were two more Nascent Soul monks in Nanzhou.

However, the hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators did not just disperse. On the contrary, after the banquet was over, they gathered in twos and threes to sit and talk about the Dao, or exchange their needs.

And in the Green Fire Valley, Zhang Shiping was sitting opposite a white-haired, well-built old man in the stone pavilion.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shiheng, I didn't expect you to have a baby so quickly. When I received the invitation, I was taken aback." Chang Shen said.

Zhang Shiping poured a cup of spiritual tea for the former patriarch of the sect with a smile, and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Changshen, please drink some tea. I just got lucky."

"It's a pity, if only when Youdan proposed to accept you as the true heir of the sect, I would have agreed, or if I had asked Yujie to bring you back to Qingji Island when I was in Hujia Village. After all, I missed too much, I don’t know how many Taoist friends are secretly laughing at me today, Meiyu is in front of me and I don’t know it, I’m really blind.” Chang Shen sighed.

"Everything is a coincidence. No one knows what will happen in the future. Who can explain clearly what will happen in the future?" Zhang Shiping said.

"That's true, but I don't know if the things promised by Daoist Shiheng before are still valid?" Chang Shen asked tentatively.

Zhang Shiping looked at Changshen's expression of eager expectation, feeling a little emotional in his heart, he nodded and said: "Of course I will not break my promise, as we agreed before, I will help Zhengyangzong return to Zhengyang Peak of Baimang Mountain Lishanmen. But fellow Taoists can rest assured that in the future, unless Zhengyangzong is in danger of life or death, I will take action to help, and I will not interfere too much with Zhengyangzong's daily affairs."

"Then I would like to thank fellow Daoist Shiheng. In this way, even if I die, I can rest in peace. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Chang Shen picked up the teacup and raised it.

"Please!" Zhang Shiping said, he raised his glass in return, and the two drank together.

After putting down the teacup, Zhang Shiping poured another cup of tea for him, suddenly he looked towards the direction of the valley in the distance, and said with a smile:

"You see, not long after we came to the valley, the ancient Taoist friend of Wanjianmen arrived. Fellow Taoist Changshen wants to meet him. Baimang Mountain is so vast and there are many spiritual mountains. Since Yu Xing was gone, Wanjianmen has only With a Nascent Soul cultivator, he is simply unable to control the entire mountain range. Even if he continues by force, he can only delay for a while. Wanjian Peak, Zhengyang Peak, Qiyun Mountain, Xuanhuojian, Luofeng Lin, Caixia Valley, Xuanmuyuan and many other fourth-order blessed places are definitely not owned by a Nascent Soul cultivator. When Venerable Wanjian was there in the past, he forcibly integrated the entire Baimang Mountain Range, but look at him. Let's go, Wanjianmen didn't fall apart in an instant. The same is true of Yuxing today, after all, it is due to insufficient background. Fellow Daoist Changshen should get his wish today, and it is time for Zhengyangzong to be re-established."

Hearing the words, Chang Shen smiled even better, and he responded: "Although this is the case, I am already old, and I am afraid that there are only a few decades left before the day of my sitting and transformation. Without the help of Zhang Daoyou, Zhengyangzong will not be able to survive." But we can’t regain our foothold in Baimang Mountain, just like Wan Jianmen can’t keep the sect’s foundation. Now that Fellow Daoist Gu is here, it’s time for us to meet him.”

"Then let's go to greet this fellow ancient Taoist. When you come to the door, you are a guest. Since the other party is so sincere, we don't want to be rude." Zhang Shiping got up and said.

"It's natural." Chang Shen said with a smile.

As soon as the two finished speaking, they flew towards the entrance of the Green Fire Valley. After a while, the two of them traveled more than ten miles, left the magic circle, and came outside the valley.

In the welcoming pavilion of the Green Fire Valley, there stood a thin-faced Taoist with a feather crown, sitting on a stone chair, closing his eyes and meditating.Sensing the aura of Zhang Shiping and Wang Changshen, this person stood up with a smile and walked out of the stone pavilion.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Shiheng for your success in cultivation. I have met Fellow Daoist Changshen. Gu took the liberty to visit, and I hope the two fellow Daoists will not be offended." Gu Zhang said, cupping his hands.

"Fellow Daoist Yuye is out of sight. Changshen and I just talked about fellow daoist, and fellow daoist came here. It's really fate. Please, please come in quickly." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

In the past, when this Gu Zhang was in the foundation building period, because of some disputes with his own Jindan ancestor, he also left the Gu family.After he formed the alchemy, he returned to the ancient family, took away some of the clansmen, and established another Jindan family in Baimang Mountain, so this ancient family was also called one surname, two sects, double Jindan.

And no matter which ancient family it was, none of them took refuge in the Zhengyang Sect and other six sects of the Yuanying Sect.

It's just that after Wanjianmen was re-established, Gujia Guzhang, a Jindan monk, was valued by Yu Xing.

Finally, with the help of Yu Xing, the Nascent Soul was formed just now.

However, because of Yu Xing himself, Wanjianmen did not make such a big show like Xuanyuanzong did, inviting friends from all walks of life to congratulate each other, but just spreading the news, which seemed a lot more low-key.

The three of them walked side by side, walked slowly into the Green Fire Valley, followed the mountain, stone and green board road, climbed into the pavilion, sat in it, and chatted for a while.

Until Gu Zhang looked anxious, he looked at Zhang Shiping and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Shiheng, if you have any polite words, we will have a chance to get together in the future and talk about it. I am more straightforward, so I won't say anything else. I'm here today to ask fellow Daoists. How is the discussion with Fellow Daoist Changshen? If Fellow Daoist decides to help Zhengyangzong re-establish the mountain gate, then after I go back today, I will recall the disciples at Zhengyang Peak. As usual. I just hope that you and I can watch and help each other in the future, as an alliance, and defend against foreign enemies together. Otherwise, Daoist Shiheng is the true emperor of Xuanyuanzong after all, and he will be criticized by others for being too involved in the affairs of Zhengyangzong. "

Chapter 765

"In this case, I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Yuye for your kindness, and you can also breathe a sigh of relief, Fellow Daoist Changshen." Zhang Shiping said.

"In the past, I and the other five sects of Daoist Nascent Soul also felt sorry for Wan Jianmen. But now that everything has passed, it is naturally best that you and I can form an alliance under the witness of Fellow Daoist Shiheng But that's all." Zhang Shen laughed.

"Okay, this is the best way. After all, Baimang Mountain is so big that it cannot be monopolized by one family. But where are the two fellow Taoists Changshen, Qiyunzong and Xuanhuomen now? What are they thinking, and the Yuanying cultivators of Xuanmu Sect, Luofeng Sect, and Caixia Valley have fallen for many years, and I don't know if any of their descendants have conceived babies?" Yu Ye asked.

"That guy Chi Huo, I saw him 50 years ago in the Cangguyang Xingluo sea area, but I don't know where he is now. As for Mai, he met a monster in the past ten years. , the body was swallowed, and the Nascent Soul had to come out of the body, and then his life was saved, and the disciples under the sect also dispersed." Chang Shen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said in a deep voice.

Zhengyang Zhenjun of Zhengyangzong, Qinghe of Xuanyuanzong, and Master Jifeng were all named disciples of Venerable Xuanshan.

Under this relationship, Xuanyuanzong borrowed the Qingji Island in the South China Sea of ​​Zhengyangzong as a temporary residence. Otherwise, this blessed place that can satisfy Yuanying monks and many golden elixirs can be so easy. Give it up to others?

Qiyunzong and Xuanhuomen did not have this relationship. In order to escape Yu Xing's pursuit, the two of them brought fewer disciples and fled farther away. During the period of more than two hundred years, they went through unknown With so many dangerous incidents, the Zongmen's hearts have long been scattered.
