Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chen Yulou was wearing a long gown with narrow sleeves, and his spirit was restrained.

He had been standing outside the temple for quite a while since he woke up in the morning. After autumn came, the island was no longer the scene of flowers in full bloom in spring and summer, but had a more lonely and cold feel.

However, Chashan Island is still emerald green.

After returning from a trip, the dozen or so Qingcheng Taoist tea plants he planted had become more and more vigorous. They were almost as tall as a person, with dark green leaves. It was estimated that they would fully grow into trees in another one or two years.

As for the Green Thunder Bamboo, its growth rate seems to be slow, but the meaning of thunder and fire contained in it is extremely astonishing.

Not to mention the birds and insects in the mountains.

Even if it was Yuan Hong, Wu Yi didn't dare to get close to him easily.

After all, thunder from heaven and fire from earth are the most lethal things in the world, and they are naturally able to restrain evil spirits.

I don’t know how long it will take.

He withdrew his gaze from the vast lake in the distance and turned to look at Bai Ze under the ancient tea tree behind him.

Since he became psychic and learned to read and write.

In addition, he eats spiritual herbs and drinks sweet springs every day, inhaling the essence of the sun and the moon, and breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Its spirituality becomes more profound.

It is quite different from what it looked like before.

Its entire body was as white as jade, with a pair of majestic horns on its head, its four hooves as black as ink, and its body was smooth, like an ancient elf walking out of the Yunmeng Lake.

Although he has not been practicing for a long time, Bai Ze is indeed a natural spirit creature, and he is in a blessed place like Junshan Island, so his progress is amazing.

Unlike Luofu, Yuanhong and Wuyi, there wasn't even a trace of demonic aura on it.

With a righteous and upright spirit like the Taoist, it is just like the auspicious beast mentioned in ancient legends.

"good."

"It seems that I haven't been lazy in the past six months."

Chen Yulou's eyes were full of admiration.

Even he could not have imagined that his unintentional action that day would actually give him a chance to allow the Four-Beast Monster, which only existed in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, to reappear on the Yunmeng Lake one day.

Bai Ze jumped over, his eyes full of intelligence, his body crouched low, his head raised slightly. He was obviously just a white deer, but he gave people the feeling of a hermit in the mountains.

See it appear in front of you.

Chen Yulou did not waste any time and took out two ancient scrolls.

It was the Divine Light and the Dongxuan Gold and Jade Collection left behind by the senior from the Yuxian Sect.

We got to know each other, and I also benefited from his cave.

Of course, we can't just sit back and watch the Yuxian Sect's inheritance die out.

Among all the people, he looked at them one by one and found that none of them were suitable for cultivation. On the contrary, Bai Ze had a clear and transparent body and extraordinary spirituality. The most important thing was that he had just started, so he was the best candidate.

"These two books were left by our predecessors."

"You stay by my side and observe and practice carefully."

Listening to the master's earnest instructions, Bai Ze seemed to realize something, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Chen Yulou just smiled and stroked the top of his head, saying softly, "I will be in seclusion soon, and may not show up for many years."

"It can be considered as an opportunity given to you before the border crossing."

After hearing this, the panic in Bai Ze's eyes disappeared.

He stepped forward respectfully and carefully took the two ancient scriptures. Before he could say anything, Chen Yulou's big hand swept over him, and a spiritual light floated in his palm. In an instant, he felt that deep in his mind, in the Niwan Palace, there seemed to be countless lights and shadows flowing.

Immediately.

An invisible wind arose.

Carrying Bai Ze up into the void.

The scene in front of it changed, and when it could see clearly again, it found that it had returned to the cave.

At the same time, a gentle laugh echoed in my ears.

"These two volumes are the true scriptures of Taoism. If there is anything you don't understand, you can go to ask the seniors like Queqiao Shao, Hua Ling, and Hong Girl for advice. Don't worry about anything else. They will definitely give you guidance with all their heart."

"In the next few years, Yunhu Temple will close its doors."

"Bai Ze, remember to practice diligently. I hope we can meet again as fellow Taoists in the future!"

Listen to every word.

Bai Ze just felt his mind was in a trance.

He placed the ancient scroll in his hand on the desk, then fell to the ground and kowtowed heavily in the direction of Yunhu Temple. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already misty and tears were streaming down his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master."

"Bai Ze will definitely... live up to expectations!"

As if he had heard its thoughts, Chen Yulou, who was walking into Yunhu Temple with his hands behind his back, couldn't help but smile. Then he waved his long sleeves, and in an instant, all the doors and windows were sealed.

Simultaneously.

Talismans floated out from his sleeves and flew to various places in the ancient temple.

A moment later, when he stepped into the alchemy room.

The entire Yunhu Temple seemed to be shrouded in an invisible veil, with rippling water and faint clouds.

The so-called alchemy room was actually a cave he had opened up on the cliff leading to the back mountain of the ancient temple.

Not much space.

But it wins in terms of quietness.

Deep in the cave, there is even a sweet spring with gurgling water flowing.

On the stone walls on both sides, there is a long-burning lamp hanging, with a flickering light, illuminating the stone chamber as bright as day.

Looking around with satisfaction, Chen Yulou's mind moved, and suddenly, the alchemy furnace and jade box appeared out of thin air in the Qi Hai cave like a water pavilion, and then fell to the ground one by one.

That alchemy furnace was naturally not the Guixu Gua Ding.

Instead, it was brought back from the ten-thousand-year-old Tai Sui coffin at Zhalong Mountain and nurtured in the cave for many years. At this moment, its color is as good as new, and the discarded elixir residue in the furnace has been cleaned out.

It is perfect for refining pills.

"Earthfire!"

After setting up the alchemy furnace, Chen Yulou grabbed out of thin air again, and suddenly, a burst of fire jumped in his palm.

Junshan is an island in the middle of a lake, so naturally there are no dragon volcanoes.

This underground fire was collected by him when he passed Shijun Mountain from Chenjiazhuang a few days ago, using his soul to enter the deep of the hundred-foot fire cave.

"go with!"

With a light throw, the fire immediately fell into the cave under the alchemy furnace, rose up against the wind, and in an instant it turned into a majestic flame, burning the alchemy furnace red.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated.

The divine consciousness guided the elixir hidden in the jade box.

Fly into the furnace in an orderly manner.

Over the years, whenever he had some free time, whether he was traveling or fighting, he would study the four arts of cultivation in the Changsheng Gong.

Now, in his opinion, talismans are the strongest and are almost perfect. With a wave of his hand, the thirteen cloud talismans appear naturally; the second is alchemy, which he has tried many times before, but this is the first time for him to do so on such a large scale as today.

After that came refining equipment and forming formations. The formations were ever-changing and really hard to comprehend. As for refining equipment, with Shopkeeper Li from Honeycomb Mountain around, he subconsciously became a little lazy.

However, even so, after obtaining the Wu Hou Weapon Collection Map from the Dixian Village, his attainments in weapon making and refining were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

slam-la-

As his spiritual thoughts floated, spiritual light continued to flicker in the stone chamber.

The aroma of medicine filled the air in the furnace.

in a blink.

Half a month passed.

Chen Yulou, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, finally opened his eyes. In his sight, the alchemy furnace was shining with rainbow light like a waterfall. The fragrance of elixir filled the room, refreshing and intoxicating.

This is clearly a sign of something.

Chen Yulou's mind moved, and he quickly stood up and walked to the outside of the alchemy furnace. It seemed as if his eyes could see through the lid of the furnace and see clearly inside.

"Today is a good time."

"The elixir is ready."

With a light chuckle, he flicked his finger lightly, and the furnace cover instantly slid aside. At the same time, rays of spiritual light flew out of the furnace and fell into the jade box that had been prepared long ago.

Wrapped in the spiritual light were pills that were either green or white, but all of them were shiny and smooth.

A rough scan revealed that there were at least sixty or seventy of them.

Of course, there were quite a few waste pills in the furnace, but this success rate was already extremely surprising to him.

He put away the jade box and sealed the fire cave with spiritual energy to prevent the entire Chashan Island from being burned to ashes after his retreat. After doing all this, he turned around and walked out of the alchemy room.

All the way to the lobby of Yunhu Temple.

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand and pushed the jade box containing the elixir. It immediately turned into streams of light, breaking through the talisman formation covering the outside of the temple and heading straight for the cave in Tongxin Lake.

At the same time, leave a message.

Just wait for Partridge Whistle to return from the Peacock Mountain tribe and you will receive it.

call--

Finally, the last worry was resolved.

Chen Yulou just felt relaxed all over.

There was only one thing left.

That is to retreat with all your strength.

I walked up the wooden stairs to the third floor. In the room, apart from a coffee table and a desk, there were only two futons and a stone stove. The wood incense in the stove was still burning, and the green smoke was flowing slowly like sand.

This is no shabby room.

The incense burner for tranquilizing the mind and the meditation cushion for enlightenment are both Taoist magic weapons that are hard to find in the world.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion.

Bathed in the tranquilizing fragrance, I felt my restless mind suddenly calm down.

He breathed in and out casually for a cycle, and only when his mind became completely clear and empty did he let go of his thoughts.

“The Yuanshen realm is full, but the Divine Bridge has not yet arrived. Therefore, the most important thing for this retreat is to impact the Divine Bridge realm. Once the Divine Bridge is completed and the Yuanshen crosses to the other side, only then can we truly break the shackles and see the Great Freedom.”

"The second is Qingmu's true body. The embryo is still weak, so we must make a concerted effort to make it condense and not disperse, just like a Taoist spirit infant, giving rise to a Yang God. As for the Qinglei Bamboo, maybe I can use it when I come out of retreat!"

"After that, it is time to cultivate the four arts of Taoism and try to cultivate them to the highest level, especially the formation. When he ascends to heaven one day, the formation will protect him and will be of unimaginable use in overcoming the tribulation."

"Finally... a few magic weapons were integrated into the real body one by one."

In front of the coffee table, Chen Yulou murmured softly.

Thoughts emerged in my mind one after another.

This retreat was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. He had already made plans long before he finished his stay in Dixian Village and headed north to Tianjin and then to Mobei.

As for why it was six or seven years.

It was because he had made a ten-year agreement with Zhou Jiao at the Fuxian Lake. When it had completely refined that piece of real dragon bone, pushed its demonic aura to the extreme, and was ready to walk through the water and transform into a dragon, he would go there in person to protect it.

This is more than just an agreement.

Zhou Jiao is a dragon and Luofu is a phoenix.

Having the dragon and the phoenix by his side is of unspeakable benefit to him in overcoming the tribulation and ascending to heaven.

"almost."

I went over a few things in my mind again to make sure there was nothing missing.

The ripple in Chen Yulou's eyes finally calmed down.

Just like a whale swallowing, it took a deep breath. In an instant, an invisible vortex suddenly rose with Yunhu Temple as the center, and the spiritual energy floating in Junshan Island, Dongting Lake and the world quickly gathered together.

Enter from between his eyebrows.

Circulating back and forth in the hundreds of orifices of the Danfu.

……

Spring passes and autumn comes.

A blink of an eye.

The leaves on Junshan Island turned red six or seven times, but it didn't snow much, only three or four times. Dongting Lake was as vast and endless as ever, as if it had been like this for millions of years.

The dozen or so Taoist tea plants in the tea garden finally grew into trees.

Bearing in mind the instructions left by his master before he went into seclusion, Bai Ze would pick the buds and tender leaves around the Qingming Festival every year, and then give them to Uncle Jiu who was in charge of the Dongting Temple, asking him to find someone to fry them.
