longevity road trip

"I'm not even good enough in practice, how can I have time to read those classics?" Bai Qi said angrily with a dull growl.

"You said that when you established the foundation. I still believe it to a certain extent. It's just that the alchemy has already formed, and you have to live for nearly a thousand years. How can you not have time? You idiot, you are still looking for excuses for being lazy. , Don’t think that learning is not beneficial to practice.” Zhang Shiping said rather helplessly.

Bai Qi grinned at the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Master, I can't rush this matter. What's important now is the matter of the yellow-haired sheep's transformation, but it must be properly prepared!"

"You, you don't need to worry about things like ginger." Zhang Shiping shook his head slightly.

He knew that Bai Qi was changing the subject, but if a practitioner wants to go further on this road of longevity, he must continue to learn, instead of just fighting, killing, or meditating, taking pills and medicines, It is absolutely difficult to reach a high level like this.

What's more, monks need to be like this in Xiaohuanjie, a practice world where spirituality is declining.

The so-called cultivation of the Dharma, cultivation of the mind, and cultivation of the Tao, the three elements are united, and only then can we be diligent and courageous.

If only by accumulating mana, monks can continuously break through to the next level, then with the accumulation of more than [-] years in the five sects, how can it be impossible to support the cultivators of Huashen with the massive resources?

It can only be said that when the external assistance reaches a certain level, it will become smaller and smaller, so that it will be useless, just like a small lake, even if it rains heavily, it will hardly become a vast ocean.

"I'm not concerned about the yellow-haired sheep." Bai Qi whispered.

When Zhang Shiping heard this, he waved his sleeves immediately, and dozens of classics appeared on the ground, each of which was almost two or three fingers thick.

Pointing to these classics, he said with a blank expression: "In the near future, you have to read all these dozen books and keep them in your heart. I will check them later. If you have memorized them all, go to the Sutra Pavilion to read other books. of."

""Nanzhou Zhaoyu", "West Desert Panorama", "Northern Xinjiang Land Book", "Shanshui Jing", "Astronomical Map", "Detailed Explanation of Formation", "Twelve Lectures on Dandao Method", "Forging Spiritual Record, Gu Curse..." Bai Qi read each book, his voice getting lower and lower.

"These are just generalizations. Well, let's just treat these as catalogs. I have recorded the details in the Jade Slips, so don't spread them out. You should read these first, and there will be more later. Although it is not necessary for you to Be proficient in any skill, but reading more books will be beneficial and harmless after all." Zhang Shiping chuckled, then threw out another storage bag and threw it on Bai Qi's head.

Over the past few hundred years, apart from his practice, he has read thousands of books of all kinds in his spare time, and these are only a small part of them.The so-called talent and wealth in the secular world is just a joke in the world of practice.

Furthermore, how many books can those ordinary students come into contact with in their lifetime?

Although Bai Qi is a monster, but now he has cultivated into a big monster, his mind has been opened, and it is nothing more than a common thing to have a photographic memory.As long as it can calm down, it will be able to memorize all these general books.

The reason why he is still so ignorant and playful now is because of his past habits, which cannot be changed.

"It's just the catalog? I feel like I'll have to read these for three years." When Bai Qi heard this, he let the storage bag on his head fall to the ground, and his limbs were paralyzed, and his eyes were lost.

"Three years? You're a big demon now, not that unwitting Phantom Chew, three months is enough. Jiang Si, let's go." Zhang Shiping said expressionlessly.Now among the spirit beasts under his hands, only the Phantom Phantom Locust is a child who is as intelligent as seven or eight years old, so naturally he can't force him to learn anything.

Hearing this, Jiang Ru appeared with a yellow light all over his body, turned into a beast shape, and gloated and said:

"Silly cat, we're leaving. It's always good for you to stay here and learn more. Otherwise, if a big monster like you goes out, he won't know how he died. When I was wandering in the past, if I could know these things , and it won’t run around like a headless chicken. You know that among these books, if you just take out a copy, it is something that many Jindan monks can’t ask for, just like the book "Nanzhou Zhaoyu". This book records almost all geographical maps, animals, and plants in the entire Nanzhou, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to complete the book."

"Go, go. I wish you an early baby transformation." Bai Qi said weakly.

Zhang Shiping and Jiang Shi didn't care about Bai Qi any more, and immediately flew towards Tianfeng Mountain in a flash of light.

……

……

Soon after, the pair of master and servant flew to Tianfeng Mountain.When Zhang Shiping first left the customs, one of the sound transmission jade slips was left by Tianfeng.

In front of the mountain gate, as soon as the Foundation Establishment disciple on duty saw Zhang Shiping, he ran out of the stone pavilion in a hurry, bowed and saluted: "Greetings to Zhenjun Shiheng."

"Is Tianfeng in the residence at the moment?" Zhang Shiping said.

"The ancestor is cultivating in the mansion, please enter the pavilion and sit for a while, and the younger generation will immediately report to the mountain." The foundation disciple replied quickly.

But the next moment, a barefoot monk in green robe suddenly appeared in front of the mountain gate.

Tianfeng had already left the cave in person, came to greet him, and said, "No need, I'm here, you two go down."

"Yes." After saluting, the two Foundation Establishment disciples withdrew.

Then Zhang Shiping took Jiang Ru, walked towards Tianfeng, and walked into the mountain.

On the stone steps in the mountain, Zhang Shiping asked with a smile: "It seems that your side is already ready."

"Jiang Si's transformation is a major event for our Xuanyuan Sect, how can we not prepare well?" Tianfeng said.

"You guys, you guys, why are you plotting against me here? It's not kind." Zhang Shiping smiled wryly, and he flipped his hands over to take out a Golden Crow Nine Birds Token that was half stone and half bronze, and threw it over casually.

"You can think about it." Although Tianfeng said like this, he immediately put away the Nine Bird Order.

"Let's talk about it first, Du Yu exchanged the body of Qing Yuanshi for five Nine Bird Order secret realms, but it still counts. It's impossible for me to spit things out." Zhang Shiping said.

"This is natural. But we are still thinking that you will be reluctant? But you don't have to be like this, Jiang Ru is the spiritual thing needed for the transfiguration, and you can pay it back slowly in the future." Tianfeng Said.

"I think so too. It's just that the damned Wanlingu has spread the news. If I don't let go, I might be plotted against by some old guys one day when I go out. Besides, after the battle of Yuanxiao City, that person who has always been with Kunkui, who is not in harmony with the sea clan, has all rushed over from northern Xinjiang, and this old monster is mostly thinking about my Nine Bird Token, so it doesn’t matter if you give up, you should spread the news, so that other monks can put down their thoughts.” Zhang Shiping said disapprovingly.

As we all know, the giant kun clan has always coveted the Nine Bird Order.

Xiao Chengwu who used to be in northern Xinjiang was able to drive Kunzhang, the demon venerable, for help, and outsiders could guess what he had paid.After all, in this world, it is rare for a demon master to be willing to serve as a treasure temporarily as a mount.

And in the recent battle in Yuanxiao City, Kunkui, a great monk of the Jukun clan, also made a move. How could Zhang Shiping not understand the opponent's thinking?

Chapter 837

Jiang Ru, who was at the side, fell silent for a moment after hearing this, and followed behind the two of them.

It didn't speak until halfway up the mountain, near the stone gate of Tianfeng Cave Mansion, "Master, thank you very much."

"You can go through the calamity with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about other things. In the past, the Zhengyang Sect was in trouble, and I was wandering outside. Thanks to Qinghe's patriarch, he sent Brother Cui to recruit me, and the clansman, and when I was conceived, I did my best to help Even if the monks of the same clan are like this, let alone now that you and I are one master and servant, don't say such outlandish words." Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

"Shiheng, don't tell me you don't know that Master's incarnation is obtained from the hollow jade bone in your hand?" Tianfeng Zhenjun laughed.

"My ancestor has already told me about it. But at that time, I was just a golden core monk. As a great monk, my ancestor really wanted to snatch it. If I just said it, I would die without a place to die. How could I Today?" Zhang Shiping sighed.

When Mozun crossed the small world, he had seen several other great monks in charge of inheriting spiritual treasures from the five sects make a move at the edge of the Baimang mountain range.

At that time, the three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Terrible Suffering Palace in the West Desert couldn't survive a few moves in front of the previous generation of leaders of the five sects.Although they are both Nascent Souls, the gap between them is still too great.

"Master once said that a monk's practice is to transcend oneself, not to be obsessed with power. Otherwise, the heart is a slave to the world, and the so-called immortality is the cruelest punishment in the world." Tianfeng smiled and said, sleeves With a wave, the stone gate of the cave burst open.

He led the way, Zhang Shiping and Jiang Si followed behind.

The cave in the mountain is not cramped. Passing through the Zhang Xu high stone gate, a group of people walked along the corridor for more than a hundred Zhang, and the scenery suddenly opened up. What they saw was a tens of Zhang high hall. There are many columns and columns, paved with sapphire bricks.

And this is just the front hall of the cave, and there are middle halls and back halls in the back, and there are many side halls or stone rooms on both sides. If you count them, there are as many as a dozen.In front of the door, there are mostly restrictions, and spiritual lights emerge. I don't know if they are used to collect ancient books, or to raise spiritual beasts or cultivate spiritual medicines?

Of course, this is only the first floor, and there is a second floor below, which is where the spiritual eyes of Tianfeng Mountain are located, where the spiritual energy gathers.

Usually, when Tianfeng is not practicing, the spirit-gathering formation here is still running non-stop, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the spirit veins and storing them for later use.

"Shiheng, how is the construction of the cave on Liyuan Island going?" Tianfeng suddenly asked.

"Xu Su, my new recruit, has been in charge of the construction in the past, and the prototype has been formed. In a few days, I will ask Qiu Cong to refine some large array utensils, and I will go and arrange them. But after all, it is not as good as Liang Gufeng. At that time If I didn't keep it, I really failed my duty." Zhang Shiping said rather sadly.

"Didn't Hongyuelou not keep it? You still left three flood dragons here, which can be regarded as saving the sect's face. Who knew that the flood dragon clan would be so crazy, and they took out hundreds of wood evil forbidden artifacts at once, and cut off the sect. The connection between the Wutu Xinghuang magic circle and the spiritual veins. Although we lost two teleportation magic circles and lost one spiritual vein, the Jiaolong clan's side is not much better. After all, it is a joke for others .” Tianfeng shook his head and said.

The value of each piece of the Musha Forbidden Artifact is almost equivalent to the natal spirit treasure of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although the Jiaolong clan defeated Liang Gufeng, they did not get any benefits. It can be said that both sides suffered huge losses.

While talking, the two walked to the apse, and then stepped onto the teleportation circle together with Jiang Si.

With a flash of white light from the formation, it disappeared in place.

The next moment, two people and one beast appeared in a deep valley.

Jiang Si didn't use the teleportation order to protect his body, but just relied on himself to force himself through.It's just that I couldn't come back to my senses for a while, and I was a little dizzy.

Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Zhang Shiping's eyes, at least now Jiang Si's physical body has been tempered to a certain level, no less than him who practiced the "Five-Colored Glazed Sutra" back then.

"Here is it?" Jiang Bi asked after recovering.

However, Tianfeng and Zhang Shiping didn't reply immediately, they first bowed their hands together, saluted and said: "I pay homage to Senior Ao."

Although Jiang Si didn't notice the traces of other monks, but seeing the two true kings of the Zongmen like this, he immediately imitated the example and saluted: "Jiang Si, the younger generation, pays homage to Senior Ao."

However, no other monks responded.

"Senior Ao should have fallen into a deep sleep again." Zhang Shiping said.The place where they are now is the Ju'ao Island where Qing He brought him here.It's just that they passed through the ancient teleportation array in an inconspicuous small square city in Yuanxiao City at that time.

However, he was not surprised at all. After all, it would be abnormal if there was only one teleportation circle!

"It's the ceremony." Tianfeng said disapprovingly.According to the records of the sect, this senior Ao often fell into a deep sleep, and his sleep ranged from dozens of years to thousands of years.

Then he walked down from the teleportation circle, flipped his hands and took out the Mingyu Xuanguang mirror.

The mirror light shines brightly, shining a green aura, and with a burst of light and shadow twisting, above the valley, there is a huge portal that is about three feet wide and more than ten feet high.

"This should be the secret realm of Hunxing." Zhang Shiping said.

"Exactly, follow me in. Senior Ao is carrying a secret place on his back, and his current location is only 70 to [-] miles away from the sea area of ​​Wanzhang Sea, and the movement of the thunderbolt is too great. When the wind and cloud gather, it will definitely attract Suan The attention of the Yan clan. Before the master was here, these spirit beasts did not dare to make any small moves. But now we two are early stage monks, if the monsters attack, it will not be good. Now it is better to enter the secret realm for crossing the catastrophe. So as not to be in vain!" Tianfeng said.

"Will it affect the Hunxing Secret Realm?" Zhang Shiping asked.Among the five secret realms of Xuanyuanzong, the Hunxing secret realm is the most mysterious. In the past, when he was in Jindan, he only knew its name, but did not know where it was.

But he is already a Nascent Soul cultivator now, and he also knows some secrets of the sect.

Most of Xuanyuanzong's accumulation of more than [-] years has been invested in this secret realm of chaos, so that one day, when the aura of the small world fades to the point where even Jindan cultivators can hardly get out, there will be another spiritual place in the sect. Land, preserve inheritance.

"It doesn't matter, it won't affect anything." Tianfeng said, then flew up into the air and escaped into the portal.

"Let's go, it's a good place inside." After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, his whole body was wrapped in light, and he carried Jiang Bidun into it.

……

……

In the secret realm of Hunxing, Tianfeng led Zhang Shiping and Jiang Si to fly for a long time, and they came to a hill full of aura, and the aura of five colors shone in the sky.

Then he flipped his hands and took out a storage bag, handed it to Jiang Ru, and said:

"You of the Four Distinctions family are born to control the five elements, so the formation on this mountain is the Sumeru Five Elements formation. The formation token is for you to refine in the past few days, which can help you offset part of the power of the tribulation thunder. You must not There are still some things in the storage bag. Among them, the maple liquid, you should take it before crossing the catastrophe to protect the dantian meridian. As for the elixir, it is to deal with the final catastrophe of the heart demon Shiheng and I are outside, protecting the Dharma for you, and you will be able to overcome the calamity with peace of mind, and you don’t need to worry about other things.”

Chapter 838

Just as Tianfeng finished speaking, an old man flew out from the mountain.

"Go, the old man has re-checked the Sumeru Five Elements Formation, and there is no problem." Qiu Cong said slowly.

"Excuse me." Zhang Shiping bowed slightly.

"Thank you Qiu Congzhen." Jiang Si bowed and saluted, and then the yellow wind rolled up around his body, turned into a prototype, flew towards the hill, and landed in the forest.

"There's no need to be too polite, it's a matter of duty." Qiu Cong said in a deep voice.

Half an hour later, Zhang Shiping mobilized his consciousness, and seeing Jiang Si concentrating in the formation in the mountain, he said to the two people around him with a smile on his face:

"You two, the catastrophe is not coming so fast, it's not a problem for us to wait here, how about finding a place nearby to sit first?"

"Alright." Tianfeng and Qiu Cong both nodded and said.

The three of them are all experienced people, so they naturally know that before crossing the catastrophe, monks have to make a lot of preparations before crossing the catastrophe, such as refining the token of the formation, and meditation, etc., at least it will take three or four days.

After finishing speaking, the three of them flew towards a hill not far away, found a rock, brushed off the fallen leaves on the rock, and sat cross-legged.

"Shiheng, how sure do you think Jiang Si is, maybe [-]%?" Tianfeng asked after thinking about it.

Zhang Shiping thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. But Jiang seemed to have survived the thunder disaster decades ago with a certain degree of certainty, but he saw that Ao Jue of the Black Flood Dragon Clan went to the ancient The method of the demon clan, the physical body crossed the catastrophe, the mind was shaken, and I lost confidence in myself. It has only improved a lot in recent years. Now there is the Xumi Five Elements array to help, plus it has refined the great demon for 700 years In the real body, the Thunder Tribulation with three stages and nine turns in front should be safe, but..."

"It's just that Sibuxiang is a spirit beast born with five elements. After the thunder calamity, it needs to go through the refinement of the five elements. This calamity is related to its future practice. I don't know how far it can last and how many times it will pass? As for In the final heart demon tribulation, success or failure depends on it." Qiu Cong continued.

"Do your best, listen to the destiny, we will help all we can, it depends on its good fortune." Tianfeng said softly.

"Actually, it's beyond my expectation that it can go so far. It's not up to us to decide whether it will succeed or not," Zhang Shiping said without haste.

"You can think like this, the old man is relieved. But Shiheng, you surprised me that you are willing to part with the Golden Crow Order." Qiu Cong said while stroking his beard.In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether Jiang Si has a baby or not, but he is afraid that it will affect Shiheng's state of mind and hinder his future practice.

"It's just helpless. When I first entered the Nine Birds Secret Realm, I met Venerable Xiao in Northern Xinjiang and Gumu Donglin in Wanlin, Ximo. It's just that Fatty Mu was too enthusiastic, and invited me to participate in Wanlin as soon as we met. The spiritual fruit banquet in Linggu also gave me a removal order. Do you think I dare to go in this situation?" Zhang Shiping said.

"Wanlingu's spiritual fruit has always been famous among the three realms, and it helps Jindan monks to conceive babies. Can you resist such a temptation?" Tianfeng laughed.

"It's true that I was a little moved, but I still didn't dare to think about it. Sure enough, the fat man saw that I was not going, so he spread the news that I was pregnant with Jiuqin Ling at the spiritual fruit banquet. Tianfeng, Now that I have handed over the Nine Bird Order to the sect, why don't you talk about the mysteries in the secret realm besides the corpse of Kunpeng that can be seen from a distance? Don't say no, if it's just like this, The giant kun clan in Beimingxuan Palace will not spare so much effort to find them. And about the Sun Jinghuo in the Valley of Wrathful Fire, don't you have anything to say?" Zhang Shiping looked at Tianfeng with a smile on his face. Showing a bit of ridicule.

"Taiyang Jinghuo, there is such a strange thing in the world?" Qiu Cong showed surprise.

"It's just a ray of pseudo-spiritual fire that originated hundreds of years ago when the aura of the true spirit fell into this world. It's just a ray of false spiritual fire, at least one or two hundred years away from the real birth." Zhang Shiping said disapprovingly. .

"The old man will never see that day. Since you want to know the Nine Birds Secret Realm, Shiheng, how many Nine Bird Tokens are there?" Qiu Cong said with a smile.

"The one of Venerable Xiao should have fallen into the hands of Beimingxuan Palace now, there is another one at Wanlingu, and the last one is the Golden Crow Order in my hand. However, Beimingxuan Palace has been in possession since tens of thousands of years ago Start collecting, it should be more than that." Zhang Shiping said without thinking.

"The Nine Poultry Token on Wanlingu is Bi Fangling, and on the other side of Beimingxuan Palace are Kunpeng, Suzaku, and Chongming. About 5 to [-] years ago, the ancestors of the sect and the giant kun clan's Dongxu The monks joined hands to enter the Barbarian Domain, and each got one in an ancient cave." Ao Yu said.

"That is to say, now our Xuanyuan Sect has two Nine Bird Tokens, which one is it?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"It was left by the phoenix, the ancient true spirit. Shiheng, you have been to the Nine Birds Secret Realm many times. Apart from the hanging platform, can you enter the nine spiritual mountains behind you?" Tianfeng said.

"The formation is limited, so it is naturally impossible to enter. In this way, is it possible that the Nine Bird Token must be gathered together to open it?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"Exactly." Tianfeng nodded and said.
