Mortal's journey to immortality

The visitor was none other than Xiong Canzhi, who had told Wang Lu to stay away. Seeing that Wang Lu didn't look very good, Xiong Canzhi laughed and said, "My Taoist fellow's performance in the competition was really eye-opening. I feel inferior as a brother. The sect master specifically asked me to convey a mission to you when I came here this time, so please keep it in mind, fellow Daoist Wang."

Wang Lu made a gesture of invitation: "Fellow Taoist, please clarify."

"Our southern part of the Western Desert is bordered by tens of millions of miles of vast mountains, called the Manghai. The demon cultivators and beasts in it are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. During the great war three thousand years ago, if our sect's Dream Banner had not emerged from the sky, the seven sects would have been destroyed. It’s a lose-lose situation. Now those demon clans and demon cultivators are ready to take action again. The seven sects decided to send the core disciples of each sect in the foundation building period to investigate and find out the detailed movements of the demon beasts and demon cultivators. This important task will be left to you, junior brother. .”

Xiong Canzhi continued: "Seven sects have always stationed a team on the front line. The leader of our team is Uncle Lei Shun of the sect. When you see him, you show your identity token and he will arrange it. One thing, I need I remind my junior brother that one of the seven factions has most likely defected to the demon clan, so I need to be extremely careful."

After hearing what Xiong Canzhi said, Wang Lu pondered for a moment and asked: "How can a small monk like me be allowed to carry out a major event that affects the entire southern West Desert?"

Xiong Canzhi said with a smile: "The big hermit hides in the city, and the small hermit hides in the wild. If they mobilize a large number of troops, the demon clan will know in advance and then change their strategy. The people designated by the seven sects, except for the sect leaders and a few people of each sect, do not know how to investigate. Who is the person? Senior Uncle Lei Shun will keep it a secret for senior brother. Why did the sect choose the junior brother? In addition to looking at the junior brother's strength, there is also some luck in the junior brother. This investigation is of great importance. The master considers the mission It’s difficult, so the given time limit is ten years. Senior brother, please put the sect first and the sentient beings in the south first.”

At the end, Xiong Canzhi clasped his fists and spoke sincerely.

Wang Lu sighed: "What else can I say? When will we set off?"

"Hey, I know that junior brother has the sect in mind and the world at heart. It's better to do it before it's too late. What do you think, junior brother?" Upon hearing that Wang Lu agreed to the task, Xiong Canzhi said slyly, as if he had put down a huge burden.

"Send the report to the sect for me. I'll set off right away. There will be news within ten years." Wang Lu said calmly, knowing that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"Then I wish my junior brother in advance that he will succeed in uncovering the demon clan's plan." Xiong Canzhi said as if he was sincerely wishing.

After Xiong Canzhi left, Wang Lu returned to the cave to tidy up, then released the withered eagle magical weapon and flew towards Liubi Mountain.

Now he is close to the late stage of foundation establishment. In his plan, his original plan to break through to the late stage of foundation establishment with the rewards of the sect competition was also disrupted, and the spiritual talismans in the competition were almost exhausted. He needs to prepare again for this investigative trip to cope with the dangerous and uncertain future.

Ten days later, Wang Lu returned to Liubi Mountain and came to Lingcai Pavilion again. There was a lot of traffic in front of Lingcai Pavilion and the business was quite good.

He suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, and Shi Shiran walked in.

The one who received him was Shi Kuang. After more than a year, whether stimulated by Wang Lu's rapid improvement in cultivation or for some other reason, his cultivation was already close to the middle stage of foundation building.

In the private room upstairs, Shi Kuang said with a teasing smile: "Come on, fellow Taoist, come on, I'm almost catching up with you, and I'll break through to the middle stage of foundation building within a year."

Wang Lu said with a smile: "My Taoist friend Shi is a genius. I am a living person made of pills. How can I compare with my Taoist friend?"

A voice like a silver bell rang in the room: "If anyone dares to say that my younger brother is made of elixirs, I, the elder sister, will be the first to disagree."

Zhu Ning, still wearing a purple dress, walked in with a cheerful face, and then glared at Shi Kuang fiercely: "You bastard, you don't know any shame. Others are about to break through to the late stage of foundation building. They don't have any knowledge at all. Here. If you embarrass me and look so complacent, go back to the sect tomorrow and don’t come out until the later stage of foundation building.”

Hearing Zhu Ning's words, Shi Kuang showed an incredulous look and said in shock: "Aunt, your cultivation has improved too quickly. Is Brother Lu a unique genius?"

"Hmph, there are many wonders in the world of immortality. Many people have condensed the golden elixir in their twenties, and the fastest people have achieved Nascent Soul at the age of fifty. They only know how to work behind closed doors, sit in a well and look at the sky, and still feel good about themselves." Zhu Ning looked like he hated iron. He said indifferently.

When Wang Lu saw this, he said: "Sister Deacon puts me to shame. Compared with those talented disciples, my achievements are completely different. Don't bring this matter up. You see, Senior Brother Shi has been You broke into a cold sweat as you spoke."

Hearing Wang Lu's joke, Zhu Ning smiled brightly, covered her mouth and said: "My brother has not been seen for more than a year, and his energy is like fireworks in winter. This is not a good thing. We monks often need to hide our clumsiness and act in a low-key manner. , so that you won’t be coveted by others and won’t be missed by others, right, brother?”

Wang Lu was shocked. Since the great competition came to the top ten disciples, and then reorganized the Futang, and recently he was valued by the sect and took on the task of investigating Manghai, this did make him feel a little secretly proud, and he put aside his previous cautiousness. They were almost completely lost. If it weren't for Zhu Ning's reminder, his mission would have most likely failed because of this, and he might even have lost his life. Be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years, and don't let all your previous efforts go to waste just because of a moment of pride. .

He cupped his fists and said to Zhu Ning: "My brother will bear in mind my sister's words. However, I have also searched many classics, but I have not found any techniques related to hiding aura and concealing cultivation."

"Brother, there is no need to worry. Although our sect is an insignificant sect in the world of immortal cultivation, in terms of concealing aura and concealing cultivation, it is also one of the best in the southern part of the Western Desert. This time, I will make the decision. I'll leave my skills to you, my brother."

"Auntie, you must not do it. The master of the sect will definitely..."

"You bastard, my aunt is acting like this. It's your turn to speak, so shut up!" Zhu Ning cursed angrily after hearing Shi Kuang's urgent interruption.

Seeing Shi Kuang's grievance, Wang Lu also knew that leaking the secrets of the sect's martial arts secretly would be a serious crime to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, and the person who obtained the secrets would be endlessly hunted.

He couldn't help but said: "Thank you Sister Deacon for your kindness, but I am not a member of your sect, so I'd better find another way."

"Brother, don't worry. It's extremely simple to get the secret book, as long as you agree to become the guest elder of our sect." Zhu Ning said solemnly.

"Sister, please don't laugh at me. With my cultivation, I can barely become an ordinary disciple. Elder Keqing needs a golden elixir level cultivation to be qualified." After hearing Zhu Ning's words, Wang Lu also knew that this was the only feasible option. method, but he also knows that the elders of Keqing in general sects are basically all immortal cultivators at the Golden Core stage.

"You don't need my brother to worry about this. Our Lingyu Sect is different from other sects. I can make the decision for the sect leader. The elders of our sect, Ke Qing, only need to do their best to take action when our sect encounters a disaster of annihilation. Yes, I have no other requirements." Seeing that Wang Lu still had some questions, Zhu Ning added a strong medicine, as if she was afraid that Wang Lu would not agree.

"Okay, I agree." For Zhu Ning's words, Wang Lu got angry and made a decision.

In the evening, Wang Lu returned to the Aoshan Villa. He first went to offer incense to the founders of the Liufu Sect, and then returned to the stone room where he lived.

He sat upright and took out a jade slip, which recorded a technique called "Deep Hiding".

After reading it, Wang Lu felt that his trip was well worth it. Not to mention becoming Lingyu Sect's Ke Qing elder, he was willing to help Lingyu Sect twice a year.

After mastering the "Deep Hidden" skill, in addition to being able to see through one's own cultivation level only by those with a higher realm and strong spiritual consciousness, it also comes with an unexpected surprise for Wang Lu, that is, the ability to change It is easy to form, and only those who are at a higher level than him can see through it.

In other words, in the middle stage of foundation building, only those who are in the middle stage of Golden Core and have outstanding spiritual consciousness in the same realm can understand the specific cultivation level and true face of Wang Lu.

Wang Lu was deeply immersed in the "Deep Hidden" technique and could not extricate himself.

"Auntie, I don't think Wang Lu is very good. Why do you think so highly of Wang Lu when you use your uncle's only right to recruit guests?" Shi Kuang asked in confusion.

"Kuaier, this king's path is not simple. I have investigated clearly. He is one of the core disciples of the Dream Sect, the major demon sect, and has become one of the top ten disciples of the Dream Sect's Hidden Dragon Ranking. This person is usually low-key. He was inconspicuous, but he became a sensation in the competition. He was different from other disciples. He entered the Tao with talismans and entered the top ten using only the attack of spiritual talismans. It is said that in the battle of the top ten, the beast talisman he used made everyone present Everyone in the Dream Sect is about to welcome the most outstanding talented talisman-making disciple in the history of the sect, and the set of top-quality spiritual weapons he displayed was personally made for him by Tian Yidong, the world-famous weapon-refining wizard."

Zhu Ning's words once again stunned Shi Kuang.

Zhu Ning continued: "It can be said that by inviting Wang Lu to join us, our sect will make a lot of money. In the past, I just felt that this young man was extraordinary. After seeing it with my own eyes again today, I found that this man has deep roots and perfect aura. He is simply a building master." As an alternative in the base period, you also know that your aunt obtained an ancient qi-gaining technique during her training. However, the conditions for practicing this technique are extremely harsh. Male cultivators are not allowed to practice it, otherwise your aunt would have passed it on to you. This technique would have been passed on to you long ago. The Dharma also has limitations. The number of Qi in a lifetime cannot exceed the number of five fingers. He is the third person."
