longevity road trip

Among them, there are two cliffs and strange peaks standing opposite each other that are the most conspicuous. They are more than [-] feet high. In the mountains, there are rare grasses and flowers, green pines and green cypresses, and you can see them everywhere.

Between the mountains and forests, there were occasional clear calls, and there were groups of spirit birds that looked like colorful phoenixes and black cranes, flying in the sky. There were many deer and foxes wandering in the forest, and spirit beasts such as tigers and leopards appeared from time to time.

In that ravine, the white clouds and mist linger all the year round, and the vines and vines are dense on the walls.

Bai Shiyu flew in from a distance, swept past the spirit bird, disappeared into the ravine and mist, and disappeared immediately.

The person drifted down, and after reaching the bottom of the valley, he stepped forward quickly and came to the edge of a spiritual spring filled with moonlight.

At a height of [-] zhang above the pool, the golden wheel of the moon is flying in the sky, like a bright moon, and the quiet brilliance is falling. In the dimness, I can see a figure sitting in the pool below, with a faint face.

After Bai Shiyu stood still, Bai Yuheng slowly opened his eyes, stood up and walked from the pool.

However, he was in a strange state at this moment, his whole face was pale, and he looked like he was injured.It's just that the originally gray hair is now black and shiny, making it look younger.

"Old Ancestor, can the panacea be refined?" Bai Shiyu said, clasping his hands.

"It's been refined, and I'm lucky to have the fire condensed by the Golden Crow's breath. Without this medicine, it is absolutely difficult to refine the Dongyang Qi Pill." Bai Yuheng nodded and said.

"Congratulations to the ancestors for their continuous longevity, which will only increase the longevity of Jiazi." Bai Shiyu said respectfully.

"How can there be so much longevity in Jiazi? Although Dongyang Qi Pill has been completed, it is a pity that the method cultivated by the old man is soft and yin, and this pill is the most yang. The two conflict, so that the efficacy of the medicine has been reduced by nearly half." Bai Yu Heng shook his head, with an indelible sigh in his words.

However, he didn't get entangled in this matter anymore. There are many people in the world who always make assumptions. It's just what has happened, and there is no way to change anything.

Instead, he asked, "What's going on with Xuan Yuanzong, is there any news?"

"Sure enough, as the ancestors expected, after Shiheng returned to Bihu Island, he couldn't retreat. Du Yu visited the door during this period. It's just that those spies couldn't approach rashly. I don't know why? In addition, buried The news came from Yi Qiqi among Zhang's family. Just a few days ago when he was on the boat of Baiyuan Company, Yuanjian Duyu suddenly made a move and set off a huge wave, destroying a small rocky mountain in the South China Sea. The aftermath almost caused the ship to be destroyed " Bai Shiyu said slowly.

"In your opinion, is there any change in the relationship between the two?" Bai Yuheng asked, then waved his sleeves, two futons fell to the ground, and he sat cross-legged.

"Still." Bai Shiyu shook his head and said, also sat cross-legged.

"Why? Let's hear it." Bai Yuheng laughed.

"Right now, whether it is the Xuanyuan Sect or our Shuiyueyuan Sect, the situation of the two sects is similar. The older generation of Nascent Soul cultivator Shouyuan is running out. Shiheng is the youngest of our generation. It is impossible for Du Yu to deliberately make things difficult for him. He may have intended to beat him this time, but the two are definitely not incompatible." Bai Shiyu said.

"There is some truth to it, but he is not only the youngest person in your generation, his cultivation is probably the highest. It is normal for Du Yu to have scruples, after all, Tianfeng's cultivation is really low During the competition for the spiritual fire this time, Shiheng was able to get out of the red water formation because of the bird bead, but he was able to get out of it!" Bai Yuheng said unhurriedly.

"This person has always been cautious, and he took such a risk. Presumably, he wanted to intercept part of the fire of the false spirit. No wonder the ancestor asked me to check whether he is practicing in closed doors." Bai Shiyu said in a deep voice.

"It should be so. This time, the old man wanted to use Kunkui's hand to get rid of it. It's just that the old Kun would rather give up the spiritual fire for the sake of the Nine Birds Order than make an enemy of Xuanyuanzong. But the White Horse Temple Over there, Jue Ming didn’t show up for some reason, it’s really puzzling! What about the clan and Hongyue Tower?” Bai Yuheng said with a nod.

"Yuran Mountain has a radius of [-] miles and is almost reduced to scorched earth. It should be the land left by the thunderstorm. Cao Yu is presumably dead. It seems that Hongyuelou has withdrawn from Piaomiao City willingly, and has no revenge. In addition, Luo Shan has abdicated, and the new generation The head is Yi Xuedan." Bai Shiyu said.

Hearing this, Bai Yuheng frowned slightly, and said slowly:

"Now there is only that girl left in Misty Valley. Who can pick her up if she doesn't? As for Yuran Mountain, it seems that the old man has to go there in person. Right now, Cao Yu is in such a small world today. Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to touch the threshold of Huashen, and there must be a reason! Besides, this mountain is where the demon body is dormant. If the demon body shows signs of recovery, Nanzhou can pass through it in such a short period of time. I’m sorry for the twists and turns.”

"To be on the safe side, it's better for the ancestor to call Shang Minglin and other other sect leaders together," Bai Shiyu said.

"I have thought about this. But before that, I'm afraid I have to go to Mingxinzong first. The two old guys, Xu Yuanhui and Bi Yunquan, are about to arrive. Take this opportunity, maybe let's find out from their mouths. Find clues to the secret realm of clan inheritance. Ever since the covenant was signed, it is not easy for me to attack Shiheng and forcibly snatch the entry token from him." Bai Yuheng thought for a moment,

Then he asked: "How are Yan Wu, Fan Li, Shang Yuangang, and Pu Xuanzhong doing in their cultivation? Are they sure to survive the Nascent Soul Calamity?"

Originally, Bai Yuheng, as the head of the sect, should be the most clear about the monks in the late Jindan period in the sect.

It's just that in the past three or four years, his mind was all on the matter of the spiritual fire, and Bai Shiyu was handling all the big and small matters of Shuiyueyuan, so he was a little unclear.

"Fan Li left the customs three days ago, and I have sent someone to set up a catastrophe formation for him. As for the other three, their mana has not been completely purified, and it is not yet time." Bai Shiyu said without thinking.

"I'll trouble you to deal with this matter. Also, the spies in the Zhang family may have been exposed, but don't rush to clean it up yet." Bai Yuheng said.

In fact, in Shuiyueyuan, although Xuanyuanzong did not set up the position of deputy head.

But right now Bai Shiyu is almost in charge of all affairs of the sect, so he can be regarded as the head of the sect, with no real name.

While the two were talking, Zhang Shiping also flew out from Bihu Island.

Several hours later, he had arrived at Yuanxiao City, entered the Xuanyuan Secret Realm from the teleportation circle in the city, and then headed towards Li Yungu.

But before entering the valley, people are still more than ten miles away.

A slightly teasing remark came into his ears: "You can be regarded as a passer."

"Your attack shocked Heng Yun and the others, so they hurriedly came over to ask me what happened. It's just that your actions are too rough, and Shui Yueyuan might not believe it." Zhang Shiping escaped into the valley , fell beside Du Yu, and the two stood side by side.

"Left and right are just a free move, whether they believe it or not." Du Yu said indifferently.

Chapter 978 The body of the acquired fire spirit

Do whatever you want, calculations are just trails after all, what about spiritual fire? "Zhang Shiping asked.

"What's the rush for what you agreed on? Is it possible that I'll take your share?" Du Yu laughed.

As he spoke, he spread his hands, and seven or eight wisps of golden-red aura flew out from his palms, condensing into a fire bead the size of a soybean.

"Huh? How could there be so few? The aura left by the Golden Crow True Spirit was more than five hundred years ago. This fire has been bred for such a long time. Even if you are divided into four, it is absolutely impossible that only these are left. ?” Zhang Shiping frowned, glanced sideways at Du Yu, and asked suspiciously.

"It is indeed much less than expected. I thought that at least five hundred golden crow fire spirits could be refined, but it still took nearly half a month for the four of us to use the power of the ancient formation of Nanming City. The number is less than 78, and after splitting equally, I only have [-] Taos in my hand. Only [-] Taos are to be sent to Senior Ao, to be integrated into the secret realm of Qingxing, to add a touch of aura to it, The rest will be distributed to other people. You took the risk of using the Kunkui red water array to cover up, but what kind of secret method can you practice to refine the spiritual fire in an instant? If nearly half of the spiritual fire is in your hands, then Just these few wisps are left to the sect and exchanged for other spiritual objects of cultivation, otherwise I am afraid that there will not be enough for Tianfeng." Du Yu said without changing his expression.

After the news of the pseudo-spiritual fire in the Valley of Resentful Fire spread, several Nascent Soul cultivators in the Xuanyuan Sect had contributed their efforts during the five or sixty years of waiting for its transformation.

As the head of the sect, Du Yu naturally had to distribute according to everyone's merits and hard work, so as to get more or less, instead of eating it all for one person.

Such precedents cannot be set, otherwise, how can other people waste their own practice time to do these things in the future?

"I knew I couldn't hide it from your eyes and ears, but you think highly of me too. Right now, I only have four wisps on hand. How can I have any more? If I can refine the spiritual fire in just a few breaths Nearly half, then why bother to stay with you in the Valley of Resentment, waiting for decades? If there is such a secret method, then it is better to refine it before the Golden Crow's breath is fully transformed. , at least the harvest is more than today!" Zhang Shiping shook his head and said.

It is related to one's own practice, so naturally one cannot easily give up the opportunity.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took off his upper body clothes, revealing his strong body, then grabbed the fire bead from Du Yu's hand, and pressed it towards his heart without hesitation.

As soon as the fire bead came into contact with the skin, a hole the size of a bowl was burned out in the chest, and the flesh and bones were burned away, exposing the powerfully beating heart.

With his expression still unchanged, he pressed down slowly until the wisps of fire spirits submerged into his heart.

Then he maintained this movement of covering his chest with his hands, and stood straight and motionless with his eyes closed.

Du Yu on the side was not in a hurry, but looked at Zhang Shiping's current state with great interest.

After half a cup of tea, Zhang Shiping opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.

When he put his hand down, the wound on his chest had already been covered with a thin film of flesh, and it was faintly visible that there was a pale golden brilliance flowing in it,

"Hiss! You are really cruel to yourself, can you do this?" Du Yu couldn't help letting out a breath of air when he saw this.

"I heard Jiang Xi say that when you tempered your physical body in the Valley of the Rifting Wind, it was as if you were cut into pieces by thousands of knives, and you were no longer human. How can you and I, Nascent Soul cultivators, put this pain in the physical body on In the eyes?" Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

As he spoke, he casually put on the coat.

The later in the practice, the more monks have to know the level of self-denial, so the seven emotions and six desires will be more restrained, and the pain will naturally be involved!

Therefore, when mortals face monks, apart from being afraid of their power, more importantly, they feel as if they are getting along with a completely different species from themselves, and have a heart of fear caused by a sense of strangeness and unknownness.

In addition, a large part of the reason why it is difficult for high-level monks in the practice world to have offspring is because as one's own practice becomes more advanced, the physical body will gradually transform, which makes it more or less different from other monks. Not to mention those mortals who have never practiced before, there is an essential gap between the two sides.

"You understand that's not what I'm talking about. Judging by your current state, I'm afraid you've almost cultivated yourself into the body of the acquired fire spirit." Du Yu shook his head lightly.

"If you want to cultivate the noon fire volume in "Liujia True Strategies", you have to walk like this. Besides, if you want to cultivate the real body of Liujia, I will also cultivate all kinds of spirit bodies later. This acquired fire spirit body is just It’s just the beginning. You promised Kunkui to open the Nine Birds Secret Realm in 300 years, so the breeding of Bi Fang’s breath that we hide in the You Tu Secret Realm will be accelerated. When Bi Fang’s wood spirit accumulates [-]%, I can continue to practice the second level Yin Mujuan, take this opportunity to see if he can break through to the later stage." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

As for the four cultivation methods of Shutu, Shenjin, Zishui, and Chenfeng behind the "Liujia True Strategies", they are still incomplete.But this is not the time for him to worry, at least the Wuhuo and Yinmu two volumes of exercises are enough to practice to the perfect state of Yuanying late stage.

If you are lucky enough to ascend to the spirit world, then you will try to find a follow-up method.More importantly, if the god in the golden light mirror is no longer asleep in the spirit world, then he should be able to know some of the cultivation methods from its mouth.

After all, Venerable Jin Guang and Venerable Fire Crow are best friends, and they once worked together to create a kung fu that perfectly suits them in order to break through the realm of oneness.

Of course, if there are some defects in the exercises mentioned by the gods, but by that time Zhang Shiping has accumulated enough knowledge in practice, and has enough life energy to try to make up for it.If things cannot be done, he will switch to other exercises when he has to.

For monks, it is the best situation to be able to choose a complete and advanced technique that suits them to practice, but sometimes they still have to take a step at a time.

"Of course I will step up this matter. But if all the spiritual essence used for cultivation is provided by the sect's treasury, then part of the bred wood spirit must belong to the sect. After all, if it weren't for Senior Ao's order , otherwise with that brainless guy named Zhenling, we would absolutely not be able to withdraw so many wood-attribute spirits from the sect treasures in advance." Du Yu nodded and said.

"It's natural." Zhang Shiping said.

To make Bi Fang's breath take shape earlier, the spiritual objects needed can be regarded as massive for any Nascent Soul cultivator, and they cannot be collected by themselves in a short period of time.

"That's good. I'm going to Zhongli's side to have a look. Are you with me, or go to Qiu Cong's side to see your apprentice? You two haven't seen each other for several years." Du Yu After listening, he nodded and said.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he turned around and walked a few steps towards the outside of the valley, and his whole body floated up, flying in mid-air.

"I'll go with you first." Zhang Shiping walked against the wind, and the two left side by side.

Chapter 979

The Xuanyuan Secret Realm is only 3000 or [-] miles in radius, which is not that big for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Du Yu and Zhang Shiping were not flying fast, but along the way they met more than a dozen Jindan or Zongmen monks in the foundation stage.

As soon as these people saw the two ancestors coming, they all backed away, bowed and saluted, and did not dare to stand up and leave until the two passed by.

In this secret realm, Xuanyuanzong's Yuanying Patriarch, Jindan elders, true disciples, inner disciples and some outer disciples all have their own practice places here.

Of course, there are not many outer sect disciples in this part, they are all those with three or four spiritual roots, but each has their own skills.If these people can establish foundations and even golden cores in the future, the favors that the sect has given today will naturally be rewarded accordingly in the future.

Looking at the entire Nanzhou, there are only five sects willing to put in the effort to train such monks.Other ordinary Nascent Soul sects are more laissez-faire, as for whether these people can break through, it all depends on personal chance.

In the past two to three thousand years, among these disciples with lower qualifications, there have also been Golden Core monks.Thousands of years ago, Qiu Cong once accepted a famous disciple from this group of people, that is, Chen Zhenren who died more than two hundred years ago.It is a pity for this person, although his spiritual root talent is insufficient, but his attainments in formation are not weak, the only thing is that his own fortune is not good enough after all.With great difficulty, he had reached the late stage of the golden core, but he was injured at this moment, and the vitality of the golden core was damaged, so that his cultivation base would not advance but retreat, and his lifespan was exhausted.

Otherwise, if this person can conceive a baby, then Qiu will have a successor in the formation.As for the juniors of the Li family, they are only in the late stage of Qi refining, and it is still unknown whether they will succeed or not.Du Yu and Zhang Shiping, no matter whether it was for Qiu Cong's sake or for the sake of the sect, all they could do was to take care of him and ensure that this person could form alchemy.

But this person has dual spiritual roots and the body of a wood spirit, and is expected to conceive a baby!

Although spiritual roots and physical fitness become less and less important as one goes to the later stage of practice, but without these at the beginning, how difficult it is to break through to a high level!Right now among the Yuanying Patriarchs of the Xuanyuan Sect, only Zhang Shiping has the three-spiritual-root aptitude, and the others either have dual-spiritual roots, different-spiritual roots, or sky-spiritual roots, and they also have different spirit bodies and bloodlines.

In addition, the Tongxuan Secret Realm is the place where the sect uses to cultivate various elixir.

As for the other three secret realms of Luanfeng, Youtu, and Hunxing, this is not the case.

In the two secret realms of Luanfeng and Youtu, apart from Zhang Shiping and several Yuanying ancestors, the rest of Xuanyuanzong monks are not allowed to enter unless they are summoned.

The rest of the secret realm of Qingxing is the back road that Xuanyuanzong has reserved for its own inheritance since ancient times.When the small world is no longer suitable for monks to practice, the sect retreats inside and completely seals off the secret realm.

For more than [-] years, each generation of headmasters will put some spiritual objects obtained by the sect into it to cultivate their inspiration.In addition, in order to prevent the junior monks from making plans for this secret realm, the Venerable You Tu in the sect deliberately left Juao as a guardian before leaving, so as to prevent some unscrupulous people among the juniors from flying into the spirit. Before the boundary, the secret realm was searched and emptied.

Zhang Shiping couldn't help being a little puzzled about the existence of this senior Ao.

After all, even if it is an ordinary Mahayana monk, after such a long time, his lifespan may have been exhausted.

As the saying goes, it is a thousand-year king and an 8-year tortoise, but no matter what race the monks reach the fusion period, there will not be too much difference in lifespan between them, only about one or two thousand.

This is limited by the number of days. In the secular world, the mortals of the human race are sixty sixty years old and seventy years old, and those ancient trees can live for hundreds of thousands of years. There is a huge gap in life between the two.

Although once they set foot on the practice, the lifespan of monks of all races has increased more or less.

Human Nascent Soul monks have a lifespan of more than two thousand years, which is twenty or thirty times longer than the short life span of ordinary people.

However, this kind of change is actually not too big. The most serious thing is that creatures such as the morning fungus and crickets seem to be ignorant of the age, but if they have a chance, they can live forever and watch the vicissitudes of life.

As for the mountains and rivers that have existed since ancient times, even if they are enlightened, if they fail to set foot on a higher level, there will be a moment when the wisdom will dissipate.

Half an hour later, Du Yu and Zhang Shiping flew over a green mountain shone with spiritual light.

From the foot of the mountain, three black-robed monks with imperial weapons flew over and came in front of the two of them.These three people were different from the ordinary sect cultivators. When they saw the two Yuanying ancestors, they neither saluted nor made a sound, and just stood upright like puppets!

Zhang Shiping mobilized his divine sense to sweep away, and noticed that one of them had withered aura, and seeing that he was not far from death, he stretched out his hand expressionlessly from several feet away.

I saw wisps of greenish-white aura overflowing from this man's black robe mask, congealing in his palm like mist or smoke.

When the breath dissipated, the black-robed man lost all vitality and fell powerlessly downward.

But as soon as it fell less than a few feet, Zhang Shiping had a thought, and he put the corpse and magic weapon into the belt of Sumeru.

Du Yu, who is the head of the sect, turned a blind eye to such a scene, and the other two men in black robes did not move at all.

Zhang Shiping opened his lips slightly, and inhaled the breath in his hand.

After finishing the matter, he said without changing his expression:

"Currently in the Zongmen Prison, is there any suitable Foundation Establishment cultivator who can become a puppet? You need to be younger, otherwise it will only take 50 to [-] years!"

These black-robed people are his servants who have been restrained by his spirit and soul, and who will never forget life and death.Not many people, only three people.

In the past, before Zhongli practiced the "Zuo Wang Sutra" and closed himself to death, he asked Zhang Shiping to protect him, so he sent all three servants here for safety reasons.

"Tianfeng is in charge of the prison. If you ask him about this, I don't know. However, there are always some unscrupulous foundation-building casual cultivators who practice evil methods. There should be suitable candidates. But right now Tianfeng has it." Jinwu Huo Lingyun is preparing to practice in seclusion, he has discussed with me, see if you want to take over the sect's punishment, prison and rewards and punishments?" Du Yu said slowly.

There is nothing wrong with the matter of punishment and prison, but this is the authority of the deputy head.With this kind of power in hand, the sect has to rely on its breath from down to Qi refining, up to Jindan.

But after hearing this, Zhang Shiping frowned slightly.

He has devoted himself to cultivating for more than six hundred years, and he is not keen on this kind of power. Unlike ordinary people, the power possessed by monks does not lie in these external forces, but in himself.

It's just that since Du Yu and Tianfeng have already discussed it, it's not easy for him to save the two of them.
