The Path to Immortality

This little point of no return is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

No wonder he dares to do such unprofitable business in a dangerous and forbidden area.

However, just as Fang Ping was unable to directly see the opponent's realm, due to the interference and cover-up of the Tianshu Formation, this old and powerful observer was also unable to see through Fang Ping's true background.

Based only on the aura revealed on his surface, it can be judged that Fang Ping should be a mid-stage foundation-building monk!

"Probably not someone worthy of special attention or wooing..."

While making a preliminary judgment, the temple leader opened his mouth and said: "Principal Taoist Jingkong, I am the temple master of the Non-Returning Temple. What should I call this fellow Taoist?"

Fang Ping casually reported his identity: "Xu Fei, a loose cultivator from the Yue Kingdom, has met two Taoist friends who have no return."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu." Temple Master Jingkong nodded slightly and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist also wants to leave Yunzhou through the Jishi Mountain Passage and go to the Western Wilderness. But I don't know if Fellow Daoist Xu understands the dangers of Jishi Mountain?"

Fang Ping said vaguely: "I have heard a little bit about it, but I know only a limited amount about how dangerous it is."

Jingkong nodded and asked, "In that case, how do fellow Daoist Xu plan to get on the road?"

What he said was somewhat unlucky.

If I were to lose my composure, I would have thought that this black shop of yours was going to turn against you and rob customers!

Fang Ping frowned and said, "I wonder what the master of the temple means? Can you explain something?"

Taoist Jinghai on the side heard the words and introduced: "I, Wu Hui Guan, have been operating here for hundreds of years, specializing in providing help to monks who have left Yunzhou. If fellow Taoists are willing to pay a certain price, you can go with my Wu Hui Guan as a guide. , You don’t need to worry about the whole process, and you will be brought to the Western Wilderness safely.”

He paused and said with a hint of joking: "If fellow Taoists don't want to pay the spirit stones, you can stay here for a while. Join a few more fellow Taoists and set off on the road together, passing through Jishi Mountain on your own. But whether you can pass it successfully in the end depends on your fellow Taoist’s ability and luck.”

I see.

Fang Ping understood in his heart and said, "How much will it cost to go with Guiguan's guide?"

Taoist Jinghai and Master Jingkong looked at each other and both showed a bit of a smile.

Immediately, Taoist Jinghai said: "One price, thirty thousand spiritual stones! If fellow Taoist can't afford so many spiritual stones, you can also use spiritual materials, elixirs, spiritual weapons and other items to offset the price."

He glanced at Fang Ping up and down and said, "For example, this Taoist robe worn by fellow Taoist is not bad. You can use it to offset part of the travel expenses!"

Thirty thousand spirit stones?

This price is really scary for ordinary foundation-building monks!

You know, the tower left by Taoist Guangjin has the opportunity to obtain elixirs, and the ticket is only 50,000 spirit stones.

Although this spiritual stone is nothing to Fang Ping, he still understands the principle of not exposing wealth when he is away from home.

He immediately made a look of embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Apart from spiritual materials, elixirs and other items, do you accept any skills, spells, and various arts of cultivating immortality?"

Over the years, Fang Ping had killed many monks and collected many techniques.

It would be great if it could be discounted.

Taoist Jinghai chuckled lightly and said: "Unless it is an inherited jade slip that contains the true meaning of the exercises, otherwise, we will not accept it because it is difficult to verify the authenticity. We will also not accept the exercises and Taoist techniques that have been collected by us. ...As for cultivating the immortal arts, unless you are at level two or above, you don’t want it.”

No ordinary skills will be accepted!

This made Fang Ping a little disappointed. It seemed that there was no way to get a bargain.

Seeing Fang Ping's expression, Master Jingkong thought he was too expensive, which was not surprising.

He explained: "The cost of guiding the way was originally only 10,000 spirit stones. But recently there are too many monks who want to go to the Western Wilderness, and our guides without looking back are not enough. The cost of guiding the way will naturally increase. …”

Taoist Jinghai sang in harmony with the temple master, and then said: "If Taoist friends really can't get enough spiritual stones, there is no compromise. As long as you are willing to sign a contract and swear an oath of Taoism, you can pass through this stone mountain and reach the west." If Huang Hou is willing to join the Wuhui Sect and serve the Wuhui Sect as a guest for a period of time, we can naturally bring fellow Taoists there for free. "

"No return sect?"

Fang Ping read aloud, and he could guess from the name that this Wu Hui Guan person was most likely a disciple of the Wu Hui Sect.

He pretended to hesitate and said: "Serving for a period of time? Isn't it too long? The life span of a foundation-building monk is only two hundred."

There was a hint of arrogance in Taoist Jinghai's eyes: "Wuhui Sect is a Jindan sect. There is a second-order high-grade spiritual vein, two second-order low-grade spiritual veins, and more than ten Jindan monks in the gate. Zhu on the other side of the Western Wilderness Ji Sanxiu, if you want to join the Wuhui Sect, you may not have a chance. The treatment of this Ji San Keqing is definitely no worse than that of some of the elite disciples of your big sects in Yunzhou."

As if thinking of something, Taoist Jinghai added: "Of course, the effectiveness of one Jiazi is not completely non-negotiable. If the Taoist friend is proficient in a certain art of cultivating immortals, such as any one of the Talisman Pill Formation, and at least one level level, there are many preferential terms.”

After saying that, he stared at Fang Ping with searching eyes, as if he wanted to find out Fang Ping's details from his reaction.

After all, the rules within the Wuhui Sect are very clear. As long as you can attract talents such as alchemists and weapon refiners to the sect, you can get many rewards for each additional person.

He couldn't help but not be interested.

Unfortunately, Fang Ping frowned slightly and remained silent, with an expression that really showed nothing useful, which made Taoist Jinghai a little disappointed.

He thought for a moment, then smiled and changed his words: "Daoyou have come from afar. If you can't make a decision in a hurry, you can go to the backyard wing to rest first. There are seven or eight Daoists from all over Yunzhou there. They all arrived this month and want to leave Yunzhou from here. Daoyou Xu can go and talk to them first, and then make a decision before the end of the month."

Before the end of the month?

It sounds like the guide of Wuhui Temple sets out once a month.

"That's good!"

Fang Ping pondered for a moment and nodded.

Saying goodbye to the two, Fang Ping left the side hall and came to the backyard of Wuhui Temple under the guidance of a Taoist boy in the Qi training period.

There are nine wing rooms here, which are specially built for foreign monks to rest.

In the past few years, it was not easy for these wing rooms to have half of the residents. But this time Fang Ping came in, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found that most of them were already occupied.

There was only one shabby wing room on the easternmost side, which had not yet been occupied.

Since he was only staying for a few days, Fang Ping didn't mind and pushed the door open.

The room was empty except for a few old furniture and a copper lamp supporting a bright stone for night lighting.

He used a dust removal spell and cleaned it up. Then Fang Ping simply set up a basic formation and occupied this room first.

In case another cultivator came later, he would have no place to stay.

While Fang Ping was busy arranging the place, the foundation-building cultivators in other rooms also noticed the newcomers in the backyard.

Almost when he had just finished cleaning up, a cultivator who was dressed in shabby clothes and called himself Zhao Tou Tuo came to visit him.

"... Daoyou means that whenever a new cultivator arrives, the other cultivators in the backyard of Wuhui Temple will gather in Daoyou's room?"

Fang Ping was immediately interested.

He was thinking about how to contact other cultivators, but he didn't expect that someone had already come to him.
