In the darkness, fishing boats with pointed prows cut through the river like plows plowing the fields.
Suddenly the waves broke, and a bright sword light condensed into ice and hit the bow of the ship hard.
The protective formation almost broke immediately, and the bow of the ship was knocked high up with a bang, leaning over like a wild horse that had run loose.
The fishing cultivator on the boat exclaimed. Before he could react to such a shocking change, several golden threads buzzed through the air, and screams arose quickly and died out briefly.
"Golden Silkworm Gu?"
One person on the boat screamed in surprise, and suddenly shouted, "Brother Chen, is that you?"
"Hadron!?"
With a flash of sword light, Chen Dengming's tall and burly figure landed on the boat. With a bang, the boat was about to tip over and he stepped down, splashing water waves.
Chen Dengming's eyes were bright, and he looked happily at Jiang Qiang, who was standing on the ship intact and holding the mast.
The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Qiangzi, you are really smart. I was afraid that when I saw you, you would have your legs chopped off and you would call me Brother Chen on the ground!"
"Haha, Brother Chen, if you come a little later, I might really have to have my legs chopped off and lie on the ground."
"I didn't expect it, but it's okay. Now is not the time to talk. The patrol guards will be here soon. Let's go quickly!"
Chen Dengming didn't talk nonsense and didn't bother to pick up the storage bags of several monks who had fallen into the river.
The master's skill of controlling the weapon is combined with the way of controlling the sword.
With a flash of light, the sword turned into a bright ray of light, and Jiang Qiang was rolled up and fell into the surging river with a bang, and quickly went along the river.
The night rain followed the wind, and the wind and rain became heavier, like countless whips lashing the heaven and earth, and the surrounding areas were shrouded in a curtain of rain.
The river became foggy, as if God had deliberately arranged for the beauty to happen, allowing Chen Dengming and his wife to leave smoothly.
After rescuing Jiang Qiang, the purpose of this trip was completely fulfilled, his worries were put to rest, he even killed a bunch of unintentional ghosts, and he walked away happily.
As for more, Chen Dengming can no longer control it and cannot control it.
I just hope that the female members of the Yu family and the Dan Xiu who cut off both legs can take advantage of the chaos and escape.
What is an immortal and what is a knight? He doesn't have a completely clear concept and distinction in his mind.
Some things don’t need to be so clearly defined.
But since he came to the world of cultivating immortals, he saw no one with immortal energy.
When socializing together, no one has a chivalrous spirit.
He doesn't think he has these two qualities of Xian Xia.
But if you have enough ability, you can also draw your sword on the road to immortality. Otherwise, what is the point of visiting this fairy tale?
In this world, good people are bullied by others. If you feel oppressed and things are not going smoothly, you will have to use your sword energy to soar into the sky, the sky and the earth are narrow, and you can call the wind to summon the rain and the clouds to be light.
Don't be a coward! Don't be a coward!
When Gou is incapable, he should take a step back and point his eyebrows coldly at a thousand men. When he is incapable, he should go straight to the Yellow Dragon and destroy everything!
…
Almost immediately after Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang left with the river.
The auras of light also quickly broke through the rain curtain and appeared at the port.
Surprisingly, it was the patrolling guard monk of Juelin City.
However, even if these people appeared at this time, it was already a step too late. They could only help a group of fishermen collect the corpses. Some of the corpses could not be collected and had already sunk into the river to feed the fish.
At this time, the wind and waves were so bad that some water monsters in the deep river were frightened by the smell of blood. Chen Dengming and others were nowhere to be found.
After entering the Dongjiang River, it will be like a dragon swimming in the sea. If you want to chase it, it will be difficult.
This is also the result that Chen Dengming has already calculated, not just the movement trajectory and work and rest time of the fishermen cultivators.
It was the patrol track and time of the patrolling guard monks. He had recorded these days through observation.
How many years have passed, except for the last life and death battle between the Yu family and the Liang family, no monk has dared to make such a big noise in Jue Lin City.
But now, there is one more person, a monk patrolling and guarding Juelin City, but he doesn't even know this person's name and appearance, so he can only characterize it as a revenge incident.
Two days later.
In a forest more than five hundred miles outside Juelin City.
With a "boom", Chen Dengming's luck dispersed the sticky rainwater all over his body, and he used another cleaning technique on himself. Finally, he felt much better all over his body.
"Brother Chen, we have been running away for two days, and it has rained for two days. It seems that the sky is helping us."
Jiang Qiang's voice came from behind, accompanied by waves of the fragrant smell of grilled fish.
But I saw a strange fish that was half a foot long, being grilled on the fire in the forest. The smoke was billowing, and the skin was like a colorful python skin. It had been grilled until it was golden and crispy, dripping with oil. It didn't look like fish skin, but more like a fish skin. Like cowhide and sheepskin.
“If God had helped us, it would have been done long ago, why wait until today?
The world is unkind and treats all things as rotten dogs. This sentence means that God is impartial and does not help anyone. He does not help anyone and everything is allowed to take its course.
You need heaven to help you, unless you are the protagonist of heaven and earth."
Chen Dengming shook his head and walked over. Jiang Qiang immediately cut off a large piece of grilled fish, wrapped it in leaves and handed it to Chen Dengming.
"Brother Chen, what are your plans after this? Are you planning to join the sect?"
Jiang Qiang said this in a relaxed tone, not wanting to spoil the relationship between the two by being too respectful.
But no matter how hard he tried to relax, the tension inside was inevitable.
When they met again, Chen Dengming's strength was far beyond his imagination. As a result, he had to work hard to overcome the nervousness even if he wanted to talk to Chen Dengming as easily as before and call him Brother Chen.
Is the cultivation speed of high-grade spiritual roots so amazing?
Chen Dengming saw Jiang Qiang's nervousness, walked over with a smile, patted Jiang Qiang on the shoulder, "Qiangzi, I am going to join the sect.
But when we get there, I will settle you down first. Your skills in making formations are good, and you can make a living in a more comfortable environment."
Jiang Qiang's heart was filled with warmth. A person as strong as Brother Chen, but still so kind and humane. In so many years in the world of immortality, he had only seen this one. A man of his kind would die for his confidant. gratitude.
"Eat. After eating, we will continue to set off. If you are tired on the way, hurry up and get to Fengwufang early. There will be a Taoist friend to meet us."
"Um!"
After passing Juelin City, heading east along the river, you will truly enter the realm of the Immortal Sect Dao Sect in the hinterland of the Eastern Territory.
Here, there are dragons and snakes on the outside, and there are many spiritual veins.
Around the spiritual veins, many small sects and immortal cultivating families are stationed here, carving up many cultivation resources and spiritual veins in the periphery.
Among the Taoist sects of the Immortal Sect, those that can be named after "Zong" are all sects with Nascent Soul monks in charge.
The Dao Gate is even more of a famous resort, and there are even god-transforming monks in charge.
However, those named after "men" and "sect", such as Hufeng Sect and Perak Sect, are mostly small sects and small sects.
At most, only Golden elixir monks are in charge, and even a late-stage foundation-building monk or a so-called fake elixir master can form his own sect.
However, some of the 'sects' may undergo changes and become weak, and they are not static. For example, the Yingyue Sect and the Miaoyin Sect used to have Nascent Soul monsters in charge.
It's just that the old monster of one sect was killed by the evil star, and the ancestor of the other sect disappeared with the evil star, and it turned out to be a miserable experience.
Half a day later.
Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang have successfully arrived at Fengwufang.
Zhu Xun received the message of the short-distance sound transmission jade talisman and immediately came out to greet him.
"Brother Dao Chen! You are finally here. Is this Fellow Daoist Jiang? Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are out of jail now. You will have good luck in the future."
Chen Dengming raised his hand with a smile, "Okay, Lao Zhu, there's no need to be polite here. We've come here after a long journey. Let's settle down first. Have you made all the arrangements?"
"That's natural. I rented a house in the West District of Fangshi, and I'm just waiting for you, Brother Chen Dao, to bring Daoist Jiang here. I've already inquired about the situation here."
"Hey, fellow Taoist Zhu Dao, are there any friends here?"
When they arrived at the house, an old monk greeted them with a smile and looked at the dusty Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang.
Zhu Xun introduced with a smile, "Yes, my fellow villagers are all cultivating immortals from a small corner, but they are amazing."
The old man glanced at Jiang Qiang, smiled, and then looked at Chen Dengming. Although he couldn't see the specific strength, his heart tightened inexplicably. He glanced at Chen Dengming's sturdy back, smiled and said hello with fists.
"Welcome you two fellow Taoists to Fengwufang, we will all be neighbors in the future."
"Friend Zhu Dao, is your powerful friend even more powerful than you? Why don't you introduce me to my sister?"
At this time, in the courtyard on the other side, a female cultivator who was watching the excitement spoke in a rather fiery tone.
But she is a mature and beautiful woman, with white teeth and red lips. Her skin seems to be slightly dark and moist due to the sun, with a toned red light. She wears a silk ribbon around her waist, a pair of silk trousers underneath, and a slanted breast. A magic weapon sword.
Zhu Xun was startled, looked back at Chen Denming, and said hurriedly, "Hey, Sister Cheng, don't talk nonsense anymore. My Taoist brother doesn't like your type."
"Hey, I'm talking about you, fellow Taoist Zhu, you're not happy when my sister wants to live with you, and you're not happy when I ask you to be your friend today. Do you want me to stay single like this forever?"
The female cultivator had her hands on her hips and her hair was combed into dozens of fine and even braids that danced along her waist.
Chen Dengming shook his head and entered the room with Zhu Xun with a smile.
It can be seen that the cultivation environment here in Fengwufang is much better.
At least the relationship between the monks is relatively harmonious. Even strangers can joke and be wary of each other, which is not as serious as other places.
This made Chen Dengming feel more comfortable. The environment was not so oppressive and he seemed much more relaxed.
Perhaps the resources here are more abundant, and the competition is fierce, but at least everyone's life will be much more comfortable, which also proves that when you are full and warm, you will be lustful, and when you are hungry and cold, you will be greedy.
With Zhu Xun, a man who had come to Fengwufang in advance and been familiar with them for more than half a month as their guide, Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang settled in quickly.
At the same time, I also gained a detailed understanding of the situation of some surrounding immortal sects.
Fengwufang is the territory of the Feng family, a cultivating family. The head of the Feng family was once an elder of the Hufeng sect, and they are now closely connected, so this land also falls under the jurisdiction of the Hufeng sect.
The standard for recruiting disciples of the Hufeng Sect is monks with middle-grade spiritual roots and above who are under fifteen years old. There is no limit to their strength. Beginners must pass other tests.
It is not that the Hufeng Sect does not accept casual cultivators, but the number of disciples it recruits each year is limited. The requirements for casual cultivators are even more stringent, requiring low-grade spiritual root cultivators under the age of twenty-five who have reached the fifth level of Qi training or above. .
And this type of monks need to go through a more stringent series of tests.
After all, the older you get, the less pure your thoughts are. Unlike those who have been raised since childhood and have a sense of belonging to the sect, they may have caused some hatred and trouble outside.
Like Zhu Xun, he has middle-grade spiritual roots, but because he was born in a remote corner, he missed the most suitable opportunity to join the sect.
Relying on your own hard work to practice, seek skills, save resources, it is not easy to live in, and it is even harder to eat...
Slowly cultivating to the sixth level of Qi training is actually extremely good among casual cultivators. Now it is very difficult to join the Wind Calling Sect.
Because he is older, Zhu Xun is now thirty-seven years old.
"Hey, Brother Chen Dao, after all, we just have different backgrounds.
In terms of actual combat, hardship, and experience, in what way are we not better than those family disciples? "
Inside the house, Zhu Xun complained with a frown, "As long as the children of those families have low-grade spiritual roots, they will start practicing as soon as they are born and become wise. If they are given enough resources, they only need to practice every day and don't care about anything else.
Before the age of twenty-five, one can reach the fifth level of Qi training, and it is very easy to be sent to the Immortal Sect to practice.
If you have a middle-grade spiritual root, you don’t have to worry about it. If you have guaranteed delivery and all kinds of resources are taken care of, you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth.”
On the side, Jiang Qiang, who was even less qualified, sighed with emotion and nodded in agreement.
He has a low-grade spiritual root. He is thirty-four this year and has not yet broken through to the fourth level of Qi training. He has no hope of joining a small sect like the Wind Sect. It would be much easier if he was born in a family.
"Do other surrounding sects also have such standards?" Chen Dengming frowned.
Zhu Xun shook his head and sighed, "They are all the same, and the standards are even higher. There is no way, resources are limited, and their immortal sect will carefully select the disciples they train. In fact, the Hufeng Sect has low standards."
Chen Dengming's eyebrows bulged and he felt that he was in trouble.
I didn’t expect that small sects and small sects have such high requirements.
Doesn’t that famous sect have higher requirements?
If a casual cultivator from the Changshou Sect requires the eighth level of Qi training under thirty years old, then he is not allowed to reduce his bone age to under thirty years old?
The key is that this is very unreasonable.
Casual cultivators have neither the resources nor the protection of a comfortable cultivation environment. It is difficult for them to reach the eighth level of Qi training under the age of thirty. If they can, there must be something very strange.
By then, if we investigate further, the trouble will be even greater.
In the previous life, if you wanted to enter the system and obtain the establishment at the end of the universe, you had to go through three generations of investigation and pass the political review.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the status of a disciple of a famous sect is equivalent to the establishment of the system. Civil servants of cultivating immortals naturally have stricter tests and more careful checks on "idle people in the world of immortality" such as casual cultivators.
Zhu Xun and Jiang Qiang looked at each other. They sighed and let it go. Chen Dengming also frowned. Who was showing this worry?
"Brother Chen Dao, with your current strength, these small sects will welcome you with both hands. You are now a foundation-building seedling. What do you have to worry about?"
"It's different. I don't want to join these small sects. I want to join the longevity sect. This sect matches my major."
"match of major?"
"It just suits my taste. I want to live a long life. If I live a long time, I will have opportunities in the future."
“I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it at all”
Zhu Xun was depressed for a while and shed tears in his heart.
He just wanted to join a small fairy gate for paddling, but he couldn't get in. However, Brother Chen Dao thought the gate was too small and wanted to find another gate to get in.
This is the gap between people.
"Don't be discouraged. Didn't I say that they would recruit new disciples when the New Year comes in a few months? If we wait and see, maybe there will be a chance."
"Also, even if there is no chance, I will take care of you after I am promoted to Foundation Establishment in the future."
Chen Dengming comforted him with a smile.
As long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other.
Zhu Xun and Qiangzi often help him with errands.
He was devoted to cultivation, and he really needed some of these subordinates around him to help with chores and make money, and he couldn't waste their energy and time, and he didn't show any sign of it.
If he becomes a foundation builder in the future, perhaps a little help that is insignificant to him can easily change the two people's predicament, but for the time being, Chen Dengming is planning to leave.
"Brother Chen Dao, be righteous!"
"Brother Chen, when we meet you, we really meet a noble person!"
"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"
Chen Dengming announced the end of the small meeting between the three of them, and everyone went to do their own business.
Zhu Xun returns to his old business, hunting nearby monsters.
Chen Dengming had ordered that the blood of monster beasts from hunting should be brought to him while it was fresh to feed the Gu worms.
Jiang Qiang is also ready to start crafting work and make array plates.
However, this time, instead of making formation disks for sale, at Chen Dengming's request, we made some formation disks for him that he would need to carry in the future.
For example, the Soul Seizing Formation Disk, I need to make a few more copies of this for backup.
Although Jiang Qiang is not strong enough, his skill in making array disks is as strong as his strong algorithm. He can barely make a first-order and fourth-level array disk. The selling price of such array disks is not low in the market.
To put it bluntly, he could make a first-level or fourth-level formation disk by practicing Qi at the third level. He was also forced to do so by Yu Xiu. If he couldn't make it, he would have to cut off his legs or even his fifth limb.
Chen Dengming has always been generous, and he is willing to give money to his subordinates as long as they are willing to work hard.
This time, they were given some spiritual stones for living expenses.
The rent in Fengwufang is not cheap either. After all, it is located near a first-level spiritual vein. Although it is not as expensive as Juelin City, it still costs thirty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones in one month.
In addition to the daily expenses for food, drink, clothing, housing and transportation, it will cost a lot.
Fortunately, before Chen Dengming left, he harvested a wave of Yu Xiu's wealth.
In the storage bag of Li Yuan, the boss of the fishing cultivator, there were forty-two middle-grade spiritual stones, hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones, five bottles of Qi-increasing pills, three other mid-level magic weapons, and high-level magic weapons. One piece.
This is a huge fortune, which makes Chen Dengming's shrinking storage bag become richer again, enough to support his comfortable cultivation to the threshold of the foundation building stage.
He planned to prepare for another half month before continuing his journey through the chaotic area of the small sect to the territory of the longevity sect and try to join the longevity sect.
As for Zhu Xun and Jiang Qiang, he did not plan to take them with him. He told them to stay and develop in Fengwufang and take care of each other. If they could seize the opportunity to join the Xiaoxian Sect, they should do so as soon as possible.
If he can't join, he won't forget the two of them when his foundation building becomes more advanced in the future.
Zhu Xun's strength at the sixth level of qi training allowed him to gain a firm foothold in a family territory like Fengwufang, and he could also protect Jiang Qiang, so the two of them were safe.
…
Time passed like this, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
With the help of the monster blood provided by Zhu Xun's hunting, Chen Dengming's proficiency in the Bone Forging Technique was as good as halfway.
Breaking through the distance still requires some effort, but the nearby monsters that are not of high quality can no longer meet the breakthrough needs of this technique.
At this time, Chen Dengming had also prepared a complete map of the Eastern Region and purchased the breath gathering beads and other items needed on the way.
Immediately, he no longer hesitated, bid farewell to Zhu Xun and Jiang Qiang, and left with his sword.
Now, just like the ambition to reach the clouds that has never changed, if you want to obtain magical power and participate in creation, you must ride a crane to the blue clouds.
The fairy road is full of smoke and dust, and the great avenues are contending with each other. In order to gain eternal life, it is difficult to stay, and it is impossible to stay.
After all, he is not a happy and happy person who can live forever directly. If he really wants to live forever, he has to pursue it step by step.
