longevity road trip

……

……

Twenty days later, in the White Ape Palace in Yuanxiao City.

Jiang Ruzheng was lazily lying on a bamboo chair, while shaking it gently, while reaching out from the small stool next to him, he kept eating the spirit fruit.

It looked with interest at Du Ming'an who was fighting with a Foundation Establishment puppet not far away. Seeing that the other party was extremely embarrassed, it swallowed the spirit fruit in its mouth, and then shouted loudly:

"Ming An, think about it carefully. Where is the weakness of the puppet? How to deal with it with the magic in "Returning to the Underworld"? It's out of your share."

Beside Jiang Ru, there is also a very ferocious Phantom Locust, which only cares about gnawing on a spirit bone as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

"What's delicious about bones. Come, taste this fruit." Jiang Ru picked up a crimson spiritual fruit and threw it over.

The phantom locust let go of the spirit bone, then raised its head, clamped the spirit fruit with its two jaws, and swallowed it whole.

As for Du Ming'an not caring about him, he dodged the puppet's head-on knife in embarrassment, and quickly avoided a large piece of sharp stone thorns that suddenly appeared under him.

While dodging, he pinched the magic formula with both hands, and the whole body manifested a gray gas like a long snake, shooting towards the puppet.

In an instant, the gray gas was firmly attached to the body shield issued by the puppet, and there was a strange hissing sound.

The next moment, the gray gas actually regarded the spirit shield as nothing, directly penetrated through it, and wrapped around the puppet.

After a few breaths of effort, the puppet remained motionless, and the body shield around it disappeared without a trace, turning into a dead thing again, motionless.

"Good job. The reason why the puppet can move is only because of the supply of spiritual power. As long as it can be cut off, there is no threat." Seeing this, Jiang Xi bit the spiritual fruit in his mouth and said vaguely Said.

Suddenly, it stood up abruptly, and its expression became much more serious.

At this time, a figure appeared in front of the gate of the White Ape Palace, stepped out, and this person appeared tens of feet away, and then his figure slowly disappeared in place, appearing beside Jiang Ru.

"Ming An, it's not bad for you to be able to get started with the practice of "Returning to the Nether Method" in such a short period of time." Zhang Shiping said softly.

"Master is back, how do you think I'm teaching?" Jiang Sizheng said.

"Greetings, Master." Du Mingan hurried over and said very politely.

"Get up, how are you doing these days, can you adapt?" Zhang Shiping said.

"This place is full of aura, which is much better than the Lingshan where I practiced before. It's just that I haven't had time to send Sister Sister's coffin back to the family tomb for burial, and I want to go back to the family!" Du Mingan said unhurriedly.

"You'd better not leave Yuanxiao City right now. You can go to the Zongmen Foreign Affairs Hall to release the task yourself, and ask other monks to bring it back. If you are worried, then I will tell the foundation-building monks in the clan." Zhang Shiping said .

"Thank you, Master." Du Mingan cupped his hands and said.

"It's just a small matter! Let's go, I will take you to the secret realm as a teacher, and introduce you to a little guy who is about the same age. The two of you can communicate well in normal times." Zhang Shiping said.

Then he turned his head to look at Jiang Si, and said slowly: "Didn't you be told to go to Rift Valley to exercise your body after you came back? Why are you still here?"

"Master, didn't I just stay here to take care of Ming An because you haven't come back? Since you're back, I'll go there now." Jiang Xi said quickly, and then ran away in a hurry.

Zhang Shiping couldn't help shaking his head, then reached out and wiped the imperial animal bag at his waist, and put the phantom locust in it.

With a wave of his sleeve, a ball of bright light enveloped Du Mingan, and the two flew towards the entrance of Xuanyuan Secret Realm.

Soon, the master and apprentice entered the secret realm and came to the green hill where Qiu Cong's cave residence was located.

At this time, Qiu Congzheng was sitting cross-legged in a stone pavilion halfway up the mountain, and outside the pavilion Li Jiantong was facing a pill furnace, constantly pinching the pill formula, and shot out a series of spiritual lights.

……

……

Chapter 939

A faint medicinal fragrance is coming out of the furnace.

Zhang Shiping sniffed it lightly, and knew that this furnace was Ming Xi Pill, and the quality of the pill was not bad, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

After all, Li Jiantong's cultivation is only in the middle stage of Qi refining, and he has not been a disciple of Qiu for a long time, and he has been able to refine a second-level elixir, which is really a talent.

Mingxi Pill has the effect of clearing the heart, and combined with Ningshen Incense, it can make the monks have no distracting thoughts when practicing, and suddenly don't know the passage of time.

However, the effect of this medicine can only last for two or three months.

"Shiheng, you are here." Qiu Cong in the pavilion greeted him, not worried about disturbing his disciple's alchemy and distracting him.

"Jiantong has only been teaching for a long time, and he is already able to refine Mingxi Dan. No wonder you look down on me, Tianfeng, and Duyu." Zhang Shiping smiled lightly, and then the two of them, master and apprentice, walked into the pavilion , he sat down cross-legged.

"This junior pays respects to Mr. Qiu Congzhen." Du Mingan said respectfully, and after receiving a response, he knelt and sat on one side.

He looked out of the pavilion and observed Li Jiantong's alchemy method.

Qiu Cong, as the older generation of Nascent Soul monks in the sect, is also a master figure in the two ways of alchemy and formation.

Tianfeng, Qi Feng, Du Yu, Zhang Shiping, Yan Li, and others all asked him for advice when they were young, wanting to learn alchemy or array formation, but the other party didn't like any of them. It is said that there is no spirituality, and the craftsmanship is too heavy, and it is useless to teach.

Although they didn't say it out loud, they were more or less unconvinced in their hearts.

Now that Zhang Shiping met Li Jiantong, he understood the strictness of Qiu Cong's acceptance of disciples.

"Tong'er is originally a wood spirit. He is naturally able to easily distinguish the properties of various medicinal materials. It is naturally easier to learn how to make alchemy. Among the three of you, Tianfeng is actually not bad, but he is not bad at all. Babies are dangerous and dangerous. If the old man teaches him to distract him, he will be harmed. When Du Yu was young, he was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he was omnipotent, but in fact his mind was uncertain. The old man didn't want to ask for trouble. As for you, you are a calm person, but you were all focused on cultivation at that time, and you said you wanted to learn the method of alchemy and formation, but it was just for dabbling, and it was used to assist in cultivation, so you definitely wouldn't put your heart and soul into it. The guy hasn't left yet, and you understand that." Qiu Cong said frankly.

Hearing this, Zhang Shiping smiled, and he also understood that he was in an embarrassing situation at that time.

"How long will you stay in the sect this time, don't worry about Tianfeng." Qiu Cong asked.

"There is still some time before the false spiritual fire is born, I will teach Ming An for a few more years." Zhang Shiping said.

Like Qiu Cong, although he has accepted disciples, he doesn't want to spread the news immediately.

Just like when Jifeng took Du Yu as his apprentice, and after the latter rashly broke out of the Xuanyuan Secret Realm and triggered the baby robbery among the islands off the coast of the South China Sea, other forces didn't know the news.

"That's good, you can also relax for a few years, and don't push yourself too hard. You also need to be relaxed in practice." Qiu Cong said with a nod.

At this time, Li Jiantong who was outside the pavilion was not distracted at all. He took out the three bright rhinoceros pills that had been smelted with an amber-like luster from the pill furnace, put them in the jade box, and turned around and walked over.

These three elixirs are all medium-grade, one of which has hidden elixir patterns, which is close to the top-grade quality.

"Greetings to Zhenjun Shiheng, the junior was concocting alchemy just now and couldn't be distracted to salute, so please don't take offense." Li Jiantong said respectfully.

"It's okay, sit down." Zhang Shiping said.

"Thank you sir."

After finishing speaking, Li Jiantong sat on one side with the jade box in his hands, facing Du Mingan.

As soon as Qiu stretched out his hand, he took the bright rhinoceros pill that was close to the top grade in the box, took a look at it, and then put it down again.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Tong'er, you were a little short in the time of congealing the pill just now, otherwise this pill should be top grade. Do you know where the difference is?"

Hearing this, Li Jiantong said without thinking:

"The tempering of the Ningshen flower was a bit poor, so that it was mixed with a trace of fire, which slightly damaged the medicinal properties. When I was melting the spirit, I tried my best to remedy it, but my mana and consciousness were not enough, so I couldn't use it. Completely separated and purified, this will affect other elixir, reducing the number of pills by two, and the quality has dropped a bit."

"That's right, today is the end of alchemy. Ming An has just entered the secret realm and is not familiar with him yet. Take him around and get to know him." Qiu Cong smiled while stroking his beard, obviously very satisfied with this.

"Yes." Li Jiantong said, he put away the pill and walked out.

"Go." Zhang Shiping said, only then did Du Mingan get up.

The two Qi refining monks walked side by side towards the distance.

"Well, you went to Baimang Mountain, how is the situation there?" Qiu Cong asked.

"Fortunately, I met Gu Zhang, Cao Yu, and Qin Ding successively. There won't be any big problems in Baimang Mountain in a short time. How is the Nine Evil Palace dealing with it?" Zhang Shiping said.

"It's up to them to fight." Qiu Cong said with a smile.

"That's good, find something for them to do, so as not to keep staring at the false spiritual fire. Right now, fellow Taoists in Ximo, Beijiang, and overseas are all in dormancy, and who will come out first?" Zhang Shiping said .

"It's just that the storm is coming. According to the news from Tianfeng, the fire of the pseudo-spirit has now reached the level of the later stage. In five or sixty years, when the fire spirit is born, I am afraid it will go further. Fire Toad, the two sides work together at three o'clock in the noon, when the yang energy between the heaven and the earth is at its peak, and with the help of the power of the earth fire, at that time, most of them can directly break through the big formation I set up, turning a radius of nearly a hundred miles into a sea of ​​lava and fire. I have almost Outside the Great Formation of the Nine Nether Xuanshui, people set up a loamy soil restriction to prevent the sea of ​​fire from spreading to all directions." Qiu Cong said.

"I'm worried that it will be difficult for the false spiritual fire to fuse directly with the fire toad after it transforms into form." Zhang Shiping said in a deep voice.

If so, then Huo Toad might have no opponent under Transformation God.

And if the other party's sanity is improved because of this, and seeing that the situation is not right, they dive into the sea of ​​fire, then it will be even more difficult for them.

"We'll talk about this kind of thing at a later time. This is the situation of the Du family collected in the past few days. It's just a small family that has been established for seven or eighty years. The foundation-building monks in the family have already passed away, and the cultivation level is the highest. They are just two juniors in the late stage of Qi refining. Underworld root monks are usually eroded by evil spirits when the ghost veins are awakened, and their personality is prone to extremes. Since you accept them as disciples, you have to think It's a good way to deal with it, otherwise it will be too late when the temperament really changes." Qiu never said in a hurry.

"I once obtained some fragments in the Wuzhuo Cave of the Jade Wave Secret Realm, and compiled them into a "Clear and Turbid View", which has been passed on, but it can play some role." Zhang Shiping said with a nod.

Chapter 940 Mediation

"I'm afraid it's still not enough. I see that Ming'an has passed the coronation ceremony. At this age, his personality has already been determined. After all, the "Clear View" is only an external force. The child's thinking is wrong, and he blames what happened to himself and his sister on you, and harbors secret resentment, which will accumulate over time, but it will be a disaster." Qiu Cong said rather worriedly.

"Let's teach it slowly, if the mind is not enough, then let it become a golden elixir." Zhang Shiping said lightly.

People with ghost veins were rare even in ancient times, and they were after awakening. Since he encountered it, he couldn't help being moved.

It's just that these monks are all tough-minded people, and they can also be said to be stubborn people.

Once the other party decides something, it is likely to be extreme and go to extremes.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress it when the time comes. Those with ghost roots are even worse than today's sky spirit roots. Besides, you have to spend your mind to strengthen it. Once this child gains power in the future, his practice will be like a real dragon entering the sea. Nascent Soul is not a difficult task for him. If his temperament goes to extremes, then he will comprehend the method of enlightening the illusory and transforming gods. No one can match him! Qin Xiangshan and Qin Feng are not far away as masters and apprentices, and you have to think carefully about the lessons learned from the past." Qiu Cong said slowly.

He was also worried that Zhang Shiping would end badly in the future, and he was also worried that there would be a demon cultivator in the small world.

Besides, Qin Feng is also the ancestor of the Zhang family, and Zhang Shiping, as a descendant, might have a similar experience.

Sometimes in the world, there are chances, and the cycle of cause and effect is such a coincidence.

"Although this is the case, we can't judge people's sins based on things that haven't happened. If it is true one day, then I will naturally take action to end this master-student relationship. Now I plan to put Ming An by my side first. After ten years of Haosheng's teaching, you can roughly see what kind of temperament it is." Zhang Shiping hesitated for a while, and finally said with a sigh.

"Since you have made up your mind, then don't worry about me as an old guy. Anyway, I won't see you until then." Qiu Congqiang said with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Zhang Shiping said.

"Then how do you arrange the Du family?" Qiu Cong asked.

"Ming'an will go back in a few days. I will ask Tianming to accompany him there. As for the Du family, if they want to relocate their family here, then I will find a small island near Bihu Island that is rich in aura. , as the family land. Anyway, the Du family is only a small family, so it is easy to settle in, and it will not disturb Ming Xin's mood if something happens there." Zhang Shiping thought for a while before speaking.

At that time, he will instruct Zhang Tianming to discuss it with the head of the Du family. I believe that the other party will not refuse such a good thing.

Hearing this, Qiu Cong nodded his head lightly. This matter of recruiting the Qi Refining Family is just a trivial matter.

Then Zhang Shiping continued: "It's just a pity. It's not good for me to go to the White Horse Temple at this time. If I can exchange for a relic fandan, that would be great."

"Let's go after the false spiritual fire incident. After all, Du Yu had broken one of the front paws of the green lion before. At this time, you can feel that the old monk will inevitably not make a move. Although it will not hit you Kill, but it is very likely that you will be seriously injured, making you unable to participate in this matter." Qiu Cong said.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

Now, although he has just been promoted to the mid-stage stage, he is not considered a top monk, but with the golden light mirror on his body, even if he can't beat those late-stage great monks, it is not difficult to escape.

But if Jueming made a move, the situation would be different.

Among the monks in the three realms, apart from Venerable Qingpeng, the second is this old monk. Du Yu and other monks who are in charge of inheriting the spiritual treasure are also inferior to him.

But Zhang Shiping, as the elder of Xuanyuan Sect, if he handed over the post first and then came to visit, then the White Horse Temple would not go too far.

Therefore, Qiu Congcai thought that the opponent would not kill him, but would only use his powerlessness to participate in the competition for the false spiritual fire.

After all, Du Yu didn't have the opportunity to kill that Li Shi in Nanfa Temple before, but he had to pay some price, and he didn't want to start a dispute with Baima Temple too early, so as not to benefit other monks.

Although the five sects have teamed up now, seeing this situation, the other four sects will probably not give their best to help, at most they will only give a little help.

"Forget it, you and I won't talk about it now. Look at those two children, they didn't say ten sentences all the way down." Qiu Cong said with a smile.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is more than [-] miles away. Li Jiantong and Du Mingan are both juniors in qi refining. How far have they traveled at this time? Naturally, these two old guys can hear their conversation Clearly.

It is extremely normal for any Nascent Soul cultivator to use one mind and two tasks.

Otherwise, they would not be able to concentrate on manipulating multiple magic weapons, and at the same time listen to all directions, guarding against every move of their opponents.

"We just met, and we're not very familiar with each other yet. See if it will get better after a while." Zhang Shiping said.

"It's difficult, one is dull by nature, and the other has something on his mind. Du Yu was very naughty when he was a child, running up and down, talking a lot, disturbing people's quiet. The two of them also need to have this kind of person as a companion, otherwise they will be very naughty in the future. That's it, there won't be much change." Qiu Cong said with a smile.

"Then it's up to Tianfeng and the others to see if there are any juniors who can catch the eye and take them in as personal disciples. When the time comes, the few of them will be companions since childhood and cultivate their relationship so that they can help each other in the future. I'm going there now It’s the same as Zhongli’s, so you can join me too. The matter has already passed, and they are all monks of the same sect, so I can’t see you when you look up.” Zhang Shiping said.

Hearing this, Qiu Cong was silent for a moment, sighed, got up and said:

"Okay, since you don't mind anymore, what else can I say, the old guy, there are people who are dying. I will go with you, but if he doesn't show face, then I can turn around and leave. "

"There is a reason for everything. We just need to take care of the Yan family in the future. With its background, it will not be difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator to emerge after hundreds of thousands of years." Zhang Shiping stood up and said.

In Zhongli's matter, the Yan family suffered the most, followed by him.As for Qiu Cong and Qingyu, because of their close relationship with Yanyulou, they vented their anger this way.

Therefore, except for him, Du Yu, Tianfeng and others are not easy to persuade.

If he doesn't show up, then this matter will be stuck in everyone's mind like a thorn in their throats, and it will become an impenetrable hurdle.
