Fu Luan

In the next few days, not only did the guests who came to the birthday banquet stay, but also people from various sects who came to discuss the matter of the Half Immortal Realm also arrived one after another, and the Palace of the Lord of Qin City became more and more lively.

Le Wuyan didn't have much interest in how the quota was allocated, and didn't intend to get involved. Taking advantage of this period of time when there was nothing to do, he even went around the inside and outside of Qincheng, eating and having fun, and it was a worthwhile trip.

On that day, Xu Youming went to attend the business meeting alone. One day and one night, Le Wuyan fell asleep after finishing his practice, and finally saw him come back when he opened his eyes.

"Why have you been here for so long? It's just a few quotas, what's the matter?" Le Wuyan yawned and sat up, lifted the quilt and sat on the bedside, her bare feet dangling on the edge of the bed.

Xu Youming went over, sat down and helped him put the cloth socks on, and explained: "It's been arguing."

Le Wuyan clicked his tongue: "Did the quarrel come to fruition?"

Xu Youming nodded: "Well, except for Qin Cheng who can get [-] more places, the rest are still based on the results of the Taoist competition, but this time the competition does not judge the ranking by sect, and all monks refer to each other in their own names. , Casual cultivators also have the opportunity to enter the semi-immortal realm according to different realms of cultivation above Jindan and below the middle stage of Mahayana."

Le Wuyan asked: "What about those outside this range?"

Xu Youming said: "Those who have cultivated in the middle stage of Mahayana and above are only one step away from transcending the catastrophe and ascending. They don't need to rely on the semi-immortal state to improve themselves, so they voluntarily give up the opportunity. Because it's too low, it's not worth wasting a place in the Half Immortal Realm."

When Xu Youming said this, he didn't mean to belittle and disdain the low-level monks, but just to state the facts. Le Wuyan knew that he didn't say what he said when he heard it. The original words of the people.

Xu Youming continued: "There are a thousand places for Jindan monks. Although it is the most, there are countless Jindan monks in the world. There may be tens of thousands of people competing for the thousand places. In the early stage of Jindan, you should not underestimate the enemy."

"What are you afraid of?" Le Wuyan didn't take this seriously, and just rubbed his tabby feet against Xu Youming's palm, "Don't you still have you, the Immortal Venerable promised to help me earlier, I will help you." If you can't win, you have to help me cheat, can't you just say nothing?"

Xu Youming pinched the soles of his feet, and without further ado, helped him put on the shoes.

After saying a few words, Xie Shigu came to the door again and asked the two of them to set off for Qizhou immediately.

Le Wuyan was angry: "Can't wait another two days? Do you need to hurry?"

Xie Shigu said: "Ten days have been wasted before, I have never been to the land of the Absolute Territory, and Immortal Master Mingzhi has never been there, but I don't know how long it will take to find Xuehua Tianjing, I'd better leave early and not delay, after all, there are five months left before the big competition, if Madam wants to enter the semi-immortal realm, she has to make some preparations for the big competition when she comes back."

After he finished speaking, Yu Weiqiu's voice sounded behind him: "Little Martial Uncle, Young Junior Martial Uncle, where are you going with him?"

Le Wuyan raised his eyes and saw that it was Yu Weiqiu and Qin Ziyu who came, they met outside the bamboo forest just now, and they came together.

Yu Weiqiu said: "Ziyu and I came to ask my little uncle when you plan to return to the sect, and if you want to go with us? But just now I heard what you said, do you want to go to another place with this person?"

"Ah," Le Wuyan didn't hide anything, "Go to Qizhou, go up the Tianhe River, go to the land of the Absolute Territory, and look for Xuehua Tianjing."

Yu Weiqiu was taken aback: "Where is the land of absolute domain?"

Qin Ziyu had heard about this place before, and said worriedly: "The Land of Absolute Territory is the origin of the Tongtian River, the real junction between immortals and mortals. It is rumored that the land of Absolute Territory is the Tianyao Lake in the fairy world. People have always wanted to go there. Let’s find out about the land of Absolute Territory, but I’ve never heard of anyone coming back alive after so many years, Xianzun, madam, are you really going?”

Le Wuyan didn't think so: "Since the name of Absolute Territory can be known to the world, and even know what good things are there, it means that someone must have been there before and came back. Others can go, why can't we go?"

Qin Ziyu had nothing to say, but Yu Weiqiu became interested when he heard the words: "Is it really the junction of immortals and mortals? Can I go?"

Le Wuyan said: "I don't know if I've really gone, if you want to go, go."

"Then I'll go too!" Yu Weiqiu said immediately, and then asked Qin Ziyu next to him: "Ziyu, are you going?"

Qin Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Forget it, I won't go."

Yu Weiqiu was puzzled: "Why don't you go? If you go there, you won't have any chance, so why not just go and open your eyes?"

Qin Ziyu didn't know how to explain it. He didn't expect to run into Xie Shigu again when he came here. He didn't want to have too much contact with this person, so as not to make his Dao heart more unstable, but he couldn't say such words anyway.

Le Wuyan also said: "Go, I will take you there to learn more, just treat it as going out to practice, there is an immortal here, so don't worry too much."

Le Wuyan opened his mouth, Qin Ziyu had no choice but to nod, Yu Weiqiu asked curiously: "Then what is Xuehua Tianjing?"

Le Wuyan explained briefly, but Yu Weiqiu was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Young Master Uncle went to find that Xuehua Tianjing specially for Junior Master Qing? Junior Master Qing is so talented, don't worry about the soul You can't refine the Primordial Spirit if you're unstable, right?"

Le Wuyan laughed dryly: "Be prepared, you should not be too complacent as a human being, it's better to be humble."

Xu Youming remained silent.

Without waiting for Yu Weiqiu to say more, Xie Shigu over there said "depart in half an hour", and left first.

Le Wuyan reminded Yu Weiqiu to go back and pack his things, leaving Qin Ziyu alone, and asked him: "The people from Ruyizong and Jingyinmen came to look for your adoptive father later?"

Qin Ziyu nodded and said: "I have looked for it, but I got some advice from the Immortal Venerable. My uncles should have restrained their minds, but the people from the two factions still do not give up."

Le Wuyan reminded him: "Then don't worry about it, you are now a member of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, you should be reminded, and the rest can't be bothered too much."

"I know." Qin Ziyu said, thanking them again.

After Qin Ziyu also left, Le Wuyan asked the people around him: "Is it really so dangerous to go to the land of Absolute Territory?"

Xu Youming said, "I don't know."

Le Wuyan: "Then you still promised him to go?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Youming said: "You're right, since some people can come back, others can come back, and we can do it naturally. The birth of a baby and refining the primordial spirit is an important matter in the future. , the risk is worth the risk."

Le Wuyan met his gaze, and suddenly understood: "You didn't intend to go to the land of absolute territory, did you?"

Xu Youming: "Yes."

If it weren't for Xie Shigu who took the initiative to deliver it to his door, he would indeed plan to go there.

Le Wuyan was in a complicated mood, Xu Youming really thought of everything for him.

Xu Youming looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Can you not go?"

Le Wuyan folded his arms: "You want to go with him alone? That's not okay."

Xu Youming nodded, without forcing, Le Wuyan's personality has always been like this, although he always joked and asked him to help, but in fact he never wanted to be the weak one who was protected by him.

Le Wuyan tapped Xu Youming's heart, reminding him: "I don't like others making decisions for me, so don't hide anything from me in the future, even if it's for my own good, otherwise I will never do it again." forgive you."

Four eyes met, Le Wuyan's expression was rarely serious, Xu Youming also solemnly said: "Okay."

The tone in Le Wuyan's heart became a little smoother.

That's more or less.

Half an hour later, the two parties met outside the city lord's mansion.

Besides the four of them, Taiyi Xianzong also has another guard of Uncle Feng and Yu Weiqiu, a total of six people.

Xie Shigu also brought three subordinates who were all above refining the void, but he did not see his mortal companion.

Not much nonsense, after leaving the city, they released their flying spirit weapons and set off for Qizhou.

It was the evening three days after arriving in Qizhou. Qizhou is the southernmost state in the south, and it is also the uppermost section of the Tongtian River. It belongs to the boundary of Dian Cangzong. sky.

They settled here that day, intending to rest for a day and recharge their batteries before setting off.

Finding an inn in a secluded place far away from the downtown area, Le Wuyan had to have a tooth sacrifice first as a rule.

There were only two tables of them in the lobby of the inn. Although they came together, they were clearly separated. Of course, it was only one-sided by the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Xie Shigu sat at the table next to them, and talked to them from time to time while drinking. .

"The land of Absolute Territory is full of dangers. Immortal Venerable Mingzhi is not afraid of trouble with three such low-level burdens? Are you really willing to let your wife go on an adventure with you?"

Xu Youming naturally ignored him, Yu Weiqiu said angrily: "Who are you calling burdensome?"

Xie Shigu glanced at him: "Whoever turns red with anger is the one to blame."

Without waiting for Yu Weiqiu to say more, he said again: "But Mrs. Xianzun is very capable, and her luck is beyond ordinary. She can always turn danger into safety, but it doesn't matter. I just lament that Mingzhi Xianzun is willing."

Yu Weiqiu snorted: "Of course, my junior uncle Qing is also a peerless genius who is no less talented than my junior uncle. He is a perfect match with my junior uncle. Are you envious?"

"It's envy and jealousy." Xie Shigu smiled and raised his glass to hide the emotion in his eyes.

Yu Weiqiu didn't expect him to admit it so readily, and wanted to ridicule him a few words, but the words on his lips were useless, and finally he just muttered: "You don't have a Taoist companion yourself."

Xie Shigu put down his wine glass: "Yes, there has always been."

Yu Weiqiu groaned, what the heck.

Qin Ziyu looked up, his eyes touched Xie Shigu's smiling eyebrows when he talked about his Taoist companion, and he paused.Thinking of the humiliating words Xie Shigu said that day, he forced himself to get rid of distracting thoughts and bowed his head.

Le Wuyan frowned and reminded Yu Weiqiu: "Why are you talking so much nonsense with him, eat your food."

Yu Weiqiu pursed his lips, and went to pour wine for Qin Ziyu with a smile: "Ziyu, don't just eat vegetables, drink wine too, this wine tastes pretty good."

Qin Ziyu came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

After drinking and eating, Le Wuyan and Xu Youming went back to the room, and Xu Youming still set up an enchantment.

Le Wuyan had already sat on the bed, propped his head on his hands and looked at him and smiled. Xu Youming turned around, reached out and brushed a lock of his hanging hair behind his ear: "Drunk?"

"I can't get drunk now, don't you remember?" Le Wuyan shook his head.

Xu Youming stopped talking about this, and sat down beside him, cross-legged and began to meditate.

Le Wuyan smiled and tilted his head: "You want to meditate again? You don't practice, so why are you not in a hurry to ascend? Why have I never seen you practice the Eight Classics?"

Did Xu look at him: "You are only at the early stage of Golden Core, what are you in a hurry for?"

Le Wuyan was taken aback: "...Are you going to wait for me?"

In that illusion, he also made an appointment with Yaoyao, but things backfired, Le Wuyan thought, thinking that this is not a good omen, right?

Xu Youming ignored him, and only said, "Calm down."

Le Wuyan said "Alas" twice: "Why are you so bored?"

Xu Youming said calmly, "I've always been like this."

Well, well, Le Wuyan thought, he was like this when he first picked up this person. At that time, this person didn't remember anything, talked less and was more bored, so he was so focused on being fascinated by beauty, and still felt This man is so kind.

Le Wuyan quarreled with him for a while, and seeing that Xu Youming really ignored him, he felt bored again, tilted his head, fell on his shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xu Youming's shoulders were slightly relaxed, and he looked down at the person who was pillowing him. His eyes fell on the light and shadow cast by the small piece of candlelight under his eyelids, and he didn't move for a long time.

When there was a very slight movement outside, causing the barrier to fluctuate, Xu Youming raised his eyes and glanced sharply out of the window.

Le Wuyan muttered something in his sleep, slowly opened his eyes, rubbed them and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Xu Youming: "Someone is here."

Before Le Wuyan could ask who it was, Xu Youming had already got up and flew out of the window.

Le Wuyan got out of bed and went to the window to look. Outside the window were the eaves and tiles of the houses stretching all the way to the city gate. The night was dark and there were occasional lights.

Xu Youming had already chased the man out of the city, Le Wuyan caught a glimpse of the flying robes of the man in front of him, felt inexplicably familiar, thought for a while, released the flying spirit weapon, and followed.

In the valley outside the city, Xu Youming fought with people in the night sky. Le Wuyan observed secretly from a distance. The appearance of the person opposite was a little blurry behind the shadow of the moon, but the figure became more and more familiar. Let's look at the tricks of this exercise, it is actually an orthodox demon cultivator, and his cultivation has even reached the Mahayana stage.

Xu Youming wanted to capture him, but he was afraid it would take some effort.

Another sword intent was released, and the demon cultivator was stirred into it, and soon couldn't hold it anymore, and said: "I have surrendered, and please forgive me with Mingzhi Immortal Sword."

Xu Youming withdrew his hand, restrained him with spiritual power, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The other party was captured by Xu Youming, but he showed no fear, even smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes to look in the direction of Le Wuyan in the distance, and sized him up.

Le Wuyan was taken aback, this person...

Xu Youming's expression became more serious, and he wanted to strike again, but was stopped by Le Wuyan: "Immortal Venerable!"

Xu Youming turned to look at him and retreated to his side.

The demon cultivator also stepped forward, and Le Wuyan finally saw the man's appearance clearly.

With thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and a bold nose, he was actually his mother's only junior who had left Xiaoyao Mountain in his early years!
