Pagoda Immortality

The dead eight-eyed evergreen tree could not maintain its phantom shape.

The moment it fell to the ground, its body began to rapidly degenerate.

Not long after, it turned into a gnarled old tree that was split in half, and its branches and leaves quickly lost their luster. It fell to the ground, and green juice flowed in its body.

Seeing this, Lu Li grabbed it from a distance, and the juice quickly gathered in front of him, repeatedly blended and condensed, and finally turned into a green blood bead the size of a washbasin.

The strong aroma of medicine made people feel particularly comfortable.

"Good treasure!"

Lu Li looked slightly happy, took out some jade bottles and put them away. This time, I encountered the Hundred Pythons Conference by chance, and I was worried that I didn't have any good things to rely on, but I didn't expect to meet this guy halfway.

After collecting the essence and blood, Lu Li continued to plunder the old tree's body.

Finally, from one half of the trunk, he dug out a colorful diamond-shaped crystal stone, which seemed to be the heart of the tree.

In addition to its powerful medicinal power, the five-colored crystal also contains the power of the five elements. However, for some reason, this thing has all five elements, but it cannot generate the space law. It is not very useful for Lu Li.

Perhaps, the effect is more obvious for those refiners and alchemists, because the five elements and medicinal power on this tree heart may enable them to create a good fairy weapon, or refine some kind of magical elixir.

Put away the tree heart.

Lu Li continued to search and finally got eight round beads of different colors.

Five of them contain the power of the five laws of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are quite good for cultivators of this attribute to comprehend and practice.

The other three are white and misty. Lu Li carefully sensed them and found that the three beads were blank and had no value at all.

Perhaps, this eight-eyed evergreen tree has not reached the corresponding realm and has not been able to comprehend more attribute avenues.

After looking at it, Lu Li threw away the three blank beads.

"Senior, you are so awesome!" Seeing that Lu Li had finished the search, Xue He flew back from a distance, but he didn't dare to call Lu Li Daoyou anymore, but changed to a respectful title.

"It was just luck."

Lu Li smiled, then summoned the Fantasy Moon Snow Lotus and stepped on it: "Let's go."

"Okay."

Xue He stepped on the long sword and flew up side by side with Lu Li.

Perhaps because he was shocked by Lu Li's ability, Xue He seemed a little restrained along the way, no longer chatting and laughing like before.

Lu Li joked a few words, and then didn't say anything more. He sat cross-legged on the lotus platform and closed his eyes to rest.

The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful. Since they met the eight-eyed evergreen tree, they have never encountered powerful fairy beasts and monsters again, and they have been safe all the way.

In this way, more than a month has passed quickly.

At noon on this day.

After they passed through a flat forest, a series of short peaks like spring bamboo shoots appeared in front of them, and the further they went, the denser the peaks became.

Moreover, they were getting higher and more dangerous.

"Senior, this is the area of ​​Hundred Python Mountain." Xue He was originally sitting cross-legged on the broadsword, shuttling between the peaks for a while, and suddenly stood up and said.

"Oh? Are we here now?"

Lu Li's eyes lit up: "Where is the Hundred Python Conference you said?"

Xue He looked ahead: "We have to go forward, to the Hundred Python Peak deep inside. All previous Hundred Python Conferences were held at the Hundred Python Peak."

Then, Lu Li followed Xue He and continued to fly forward.

While shuttling, from time to time, you can see that the peaks you pass by are shrouded in a large array of fog. Obviously, there are people living on these peaks.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, the two of them avoided such owned peaks from a distance. After another hour or two of traveling, when it was sunset, the two finally came to the Hundred Python Peak that Xue He mentioned.

Hundred Python Peak is not very high, but it is extremely large, with a radius of seventy or eighty miles, like a giant stone pier that fell on the ground. There are many sub-peaks growing on the top of the stone pier, like hair rushing up from a head.

There are many peaks in Baimang Mountain, but many of them are owned by people.

However, it is generally recognized that Baimang Peak cannot be occupied privately. A powerful independent cultivator has set up a large formation on it. It will only be open to the public during the Baimang Conference.

Now there is still half a month before the Baimang Conference, but the large formation on it has been released in advance. As long as you reach the Xuanxian cultivation level, you can smoothly enter the Baimang Peak.

Lu Li and Xue He walked side by side and soon came to the core area of ​​Baimang Peak.

There is an ancient square here, and many houses are built around the square. According to Xue He, these houses are for people to stay temporarily. As long as they are empty, anyone can live there, and no fees are required.

At this time, there were people stopping to chat in the square, but not many. Looking around, there were only five or six people. Seeing Lu Li and the other two landed, several people looked over at them.

"Hey! Isn't this fellow Xue Daoist? You are here too!" A green-clothed woman with a face in her forties seemed to know Xue He and shouted from a distance.

"This guy has good relationships with people. He can easily meet acquaintances." Lu Li turned his head to look at Xue He and thought to himself.

"It's Fellow Daoist Fang. Nice to meet you!" Xue He smiled and bowed in response.

"Nice to meet you. It's been a few years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Xue looks like he has improved a lot!" The female cultivator surnamed Fang came up and said with a smile. However, this action caused a middle-aged man in a cloud robe in the distance to frown secretly.

"Ahem, okay! Fellow Daoist Fang, I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you any longer. See you another day!" Xue He glanced at the middle-aged man in cloud robes in the distance and bowed to say goodbye.

He pointed to the group of houses on the west side of the square, "Senior, let's go over there."

Lu Li nodded, and without saying hello to the female cultivator surnamed Fang, he followed Xue He and left.

The female cultivator surnamed Fang smiled bitterly and shook her head, then walked back and chatted with the previous few people.

She and Xue He had experienced adventures together several times, and she had a good impression of Xue He, but unfortunately, Xue He was devoted to cultivation and had no thoughts in that regard.

It can be said that the flowers have intentions but the water is ruthless.

There are many houses around the square, which are arranged in layers. The houses are not luxurious, but very elegant. The small courtyard surrounded by fences and three bamboo houses have a unique artistic conception.

More importantly, each courtyard has a separate ban to prevent outsiders from disturbing it.

The courtyard with a formation talisman hanging on the gate is an ownerless courtyard. You can take down the formation talisman and open the gate. The hut will temporarily belong to you. When you no longer live there, just hang the formation talisman back on the gate.

Lu Li and Xue He found two uninhabited huts on the far right of the second row, and each occupied one.

Later.

Lu Li made tea in the open hall to entertain Xue He and inquired about some news about the Hundred Pythons Conference.

Xue He said: "This Hundred Pythons Conference is actually hosted by several Golden Immortals in turn, and it is not an ordinary trading conference."

Lu Li nodded: "I can see that, but I don't know what the specific difference is between this Hundred Pythons Conference and an ordinary trading conference?"

Xue He said: "The biggest difference should be the final tea tasting and discussion session. According to convention, it is a free trading session at the beginning."

"But in the end, everyone will gather together to taste tea and discuss, and everyone will share some cultivation experience, or raise some difficult problems in cultivation, and everyone will discuss with each other."

"This is a rare opportunity for improvement for casual cultivators like us who have no background."

"Of course, what is more exciting is that some people share some secret opportunities in this session, or ask others to help them solve some troubles at a certain price..."

"Often, many rare treasures will be taken out as a price at this time, and the strong who are impressed will choose to help, and everyone will benefit each other and get what they want...!"
