On the vast land of Kyushu, in addition to countless righteous sects and demon palaces, there are also monks who practice alone. Because these people have no sect and most of them practice alone, they all call themselves casual cultivators.
Because these casual cultivators are solitary, they rely on themselves to figure out the whole process of cultivation, and basically do not interact with other people. All this also resulted in the low level of cultivation of these casual cultivators. However, there are still a few extremely talented casual cultivators who, relying on their extremely high talents, have created some self-cultivation methods.
The cultivation of these people can often be compared with the top masters of the righteous sects and Yaoming Palace.
In today's Jiuzhou, there are three casual cultivators: Drunkard, Alchemy Demon, and Qijue. Their cultivation levels have all reached the realm of innate divine knowledge, and together with the medical immortals from Yaowang Valley, they are known as the Four Saints of Nine Provinces.
And this bad old man is obviously an alcoholic, one of the Four Immortals. Speaking of this drunkard, he has been famous for more than fifty years. Because he loved drinking most in his life, he carried a purple gold jade gourd on his back all year round, thus earning the title of drunkard.
The Alchemy Demon and the Medical Immortal were originally biological brothers. When they were young, they bid farewell to their parents and went to Kyushu to seek immortality. By chance, the two found an ancient Qihuang classic in a valley.
The two of them were instantly fascinated by the pharmacological elixirs, and gave up their search for immortals, and instead devoted themselves to studying the ancient Qihuang classics. However, the Qihuang techniques recorded in this classical book are extremely complex and profound.
The two brothers studied at the same time and realized that they could not learn everything in it. After discussion, the medical skills and elixirs in this ancient classic were separated, and the two of them studied separately.
Suddenly, more than 20 years later, the two of them had learned the entire classic book. After returning from the valley, the two brothers relied on what they had learned to gain a great reputation in Kyushu. At the same time, because of his superb medical skills, my brother saved countless people from various sects and people from all over the world, and earned the title of Medical Immortal.
But later, my brother gradually became obsessed with poison. His character also changed accordingly. Instead of using the elixirs he had learned to save lives and heal the wounded, he was keen on using poisons to rob. As time passed, he was nicknamed the Alchemy Demon by all the righteous sects.
The various factions in Kyushu were disturbed. Finally, after he killed more than a hundred disciples of a small sect with poison, they united to hunt him down.
The medical fairy has found the elixir demon several times, hoping to persuade him to change his ways and work with him to cure illnesses and save people in the world. But the Alchemy Demon has already gone astray and can never turn back.
The more the disciples of each sect tried their best to surround and kill him, the more the Alchemy Demon hated the disciples of each sect and the people of the world, and continued to use poison to kill living beings. In order to atone for the sins of his younger brother, the Alchemy Demon, the Medical Immortal tried every means to heal the creatures who were harmed by the Alchemy Demon.
As time went by, Alchemy not only became more and more resentful towards the members of each sect, but also hated his own brother.
During the Heavenly Dao Demon Slayer that year, the Alchemy Demon even united with the spirits of the Yaowei Palace to fight against the righteous path of the world. It was only later that the Demon Underworld Palace was besieged and suppressed by the righteous factions, and the two demon emperors Bai Ze and Bi Luo took the spirits and monsters to hide in Kyushu, allowing the Dan Demon to hide as well. Show up from time to time and harass the righteous sects.
The elder brother, the Medical Immortal, returned to the valley where he had found the classical books after the Heavenly Dao eliminated the demons, and founded the Yaowang Valley, a medical sect. In just over ten years, he entered Taoism through medicine and achieved the state of innate divine knowledge. And his disciples in the valley, although there are not many in number, are all practicing both medicine and Taoism.
However, this pill demon seems to hate the medical immortal very much. Every few years, he will go to the Medicine King Valley to find a duel with the medical immortal. It's just that over the years, the Alchemy Demon has been defeated time and time again, and he has never been able to gain favor from the Medical Immortal.
The last saint, Qi Jue Scholar, is similar in age to the other three. However, his appearance has always remained that of a man in his forties, as if he has never aged.
Since he has been practicing alone for more than 20 years and first entered the world, he has become famous in the world with his seven unique skills: piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea. His own cultivation level is even more outstanding than that of the disciples of the nine sects of the righteous path. Even the current leader of the righteous path, Master Liowu of Lingjue Temple, also praised him.
These four people traveled across Kyushu for decades and achieved great fame. To this day, he is already the leader among countless casual cultivators in Jiuzhou.
Therefore, after the drunkard reported his name, those disciples who had never seen his true appearance became distracted, for fear of offending the old god with his words.
"Senior Jiu, there are so many of them, the disciples and others are ashamed of themselves." Master Songyang first complimented the drunkard a few times, and then asked: "I don't know, old man, how can you have such leisure today to visit Jianning City? Woolen cloth?"
Since the drunkard arrived, he has been leaning closely against Mu Jingyu. Intentionally or unintentionally, his right hand was close to Mu Jingyu's left hand. He was probably attracted by the mysterious bracelet and suddenly appeared here.
The drunkard laughed and said: "Old drunkard, I am free and easy. I can go wherever I want. Do I need to say hello to a junior like you?"
Master Songyang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Senior Jiu is joking, how dare Songyang and others disturb your whereabouts. It's just... Now I, Jiuhua Mountain, have to deal with the traitors under my sect. If nothing happens to me, senior, please stand by me first." Stand aside. While I finish my business, let's talk about old times with you."
"Rebel? Son Yang, are you talking about this handsome boy?" The drunkard said, pointing his finger at the wood and saying in surprise: "But, old drunkard, I suddenly discovered that this handsome boy is very attached to me, and I want to take him with me. Let’s go. I’m afraid… I can’t go back to Jiuhua Mountain with you for the time being!”
As soon as the drunkard finished speaking, Master Songyang's expression changed slightly. The rest of the people also felt a little thump in their hearts, as their suspicions just now were confirmed. This drunkard with a very high level of cultivation came just for Mu Jingyu.
Master Sumei bowed her head and said: "Senior, this Mu Jingyu has been involved in some troubles among various factions. When we gather the crowd, we are going to take him back to Jiuhua Mountain to find out the reason. If you insist on taking him away, wouldn't it make it difficult for me to wait? I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the masters after I return to the master."
There was a hint of threat in Master Sumei's words. But the drunkard completely ignored the threat. Instead, he grabbed Mu Jingyu's arm and protected him behind him.
"Old man, I have to take this boy away today. As for what you will do when you return to the master's door, that is your business and has nothing to do with me!"
Even though Master Sumei moved out of the Nine Sects, the drunkard was not afraid at all and did not take her threat to heart at all. Nowadays, with his cultivation and status, he really does not need to pay too much attention to the nine sects.
Master Songyang's face turned cold: "Senior Jiu, do you really want to have your own way? Songyang advises you to think about it and don't force us juniors to take action."
Although the drunkard's cultivation level is a level higher than theirs, even if there are hundreds of people gathered here, it will be difficult for him to please him. But after all, there is only one drunkard, and there are as many as six of them masters in the innate realm. If a fight really breaks out, as long as three or four people hold the drunkard down and the rest block Elder Gu Li and the dozens of men in black robes, they can still snatch Mu Jingyu away.
Thinking about it, the drunkard took into account the strength of the nine sects and would not kill them.
Master Sumei and other four innate masters have spread out in a semicircle, surrounding Jiugui and Mu Jingyu.
Elder Gu Li and Protector Feng saw that the two sides were at war with each other, and there was a strong tendency to start a fight if they disagreed. Instead, they quietly gathered together, completely losing their intention to take action.
Protector Feng whispered: "Elder, judging from the drunkard's intentions, he seems to be interested in the things in Mu Jingyu's hands. What should we do next? Do we need to activate the formation to help him take Mu Jingyu away? ?”
Elder Gu Li squinted his eyes, glanced at the righteous disciples opposite and said: "Although this old guy suddenly arrived and disrupted our plan, it is not a bad thing. I think there is no need to wait for Bi Yun and the others to come. We arrived and rescued Mu Jingyu. Anyway, this kid has been convicted of embezzling spiritual stones. No matter who takes him away, as long as he does not fall into the hands of the righteous factions, we have completed our mission."
Protector Feng nodded and said: "Then I will secretly instruct the men hiding in the villa. Once they take action, they will immediately launch a large formation to help the drunkard take Mu Jingyu away."
After Protector Feng finished speaking, he gave a slight signal to the men in black robes beside him, and one of them immediately nodded and left, quietly sneaking into the villa from somewhere else.
The drunkard looked at the people gathered around him calmly, and said calmly: "Why, you want to fight the old man? That's fine, today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your master."
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of innate spiritual energy swirled around him. Within a radius of more than a hundred feet, the spiritual energy hidden between heaven and earth also gathered quickly, forming a spiraling spiritual energy storm that enveloped Jiugui, Mu Jingyu, and Jin Yingzi.
Song Yang and others, who are also in the innate realm, naturally know the power of this. One by one, they also mobilized the spiritual energy in their Dantian and competed with the drunkard for the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
However, no matter how hard they tried their best, the spiritual energy hidden between heaven and earth was still firmly controlled by Drunkard alone, making it difficult to capture any of it.
This shows how strong the cultivation level of this drunkard, one of the Four Immortals, is.
Master Sumei said in a deep voice: "Everyone, if Senior Jiu robs us of enough innate spiritual energy, we will not be able to fight! Why not take advantage of the time when he does not use his full strength to kill Mu Jingyu immediately? Take it away, if it continues to be delayed, I’m afraid there will be no chance.”
"Master Tai is right. Our goal is to capture Mu Jingyu, not to fight with Senior Jiu." Master Songyang decisively ordered: "Master Sumei, Ji Guangling, I, and I will entangle Senior Jiu." Hua Lianying and Shangguanyan blocked the two black-robed men who were in the innate realm. Don't let them take the opportunity to cover up and kill us. Liu Rushuang stayed behind to support us. The other factions in Jianning City followed the four leaders to guard the outer circle to prevent The men in black robes fled in all directions. Han Yao and other disciples are looking for opportunities to capture Mu Jingyu. We strive for a quick victory and evacuate as soon as we capture Mu Jingyu, so as to avoid long nights and dreams, and any side issues."
After Master Songyang finished speaking, the other people responded loudly. When Shangguan Yan heard that he still had his own business here, he had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
"Hmph, you are not overestimating your own abilities!"
The drunkard snorted coldly, and before they could make any move, he held his hands like the sun and the moon and pushed them out suddenly. The innate spiritual energy that was constantly circling had roared over.
"Disperse!"
After Master Songyang shouted loudly, he rushed forward first. An ancient-colored fairy sword appeared in his hand, and a powerful spiritual energy roared from the tip of the sword, instantly scattering it. Master Sumei and Ji Guangling followed closely behind.
The spiritual energy that was disturbed by Master Song Yang dispersed crazily in all directions. The hundreds of other disciples from various sects, who could resist this innate spiritual energy, were suddenly blown around.
Seeing the Songyang trio rushing over, the drunkard pulled Mu Jingyu with a stern expression and told him: "Boy, follow the old man and don't run around. Otherwise there will be a fight and I won't be able to take care of you and you will be killed by them." Caught."
Mu Jingyu responded with a yes and grabbed the drunkard's tattered clothes with one hand: "Don't worry, old man, I know what to do."
Although, he didn't know why this old man who suddenly appeared wanted to save him. However, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to him, so he should first find a way to escape from this place, and then make plans.
Jin Yingzi pulled Mu Jingyu and urged anxiously: "Young hero, Yingzi advises you not to follow him. I'm afraid this weird old man has taken a fancy to the thing on your wrist. You'd better follow me first." Leave here, and when you have the chance, Yingzi will help you leave here."
Mu Jingyu looked at Jin Yingzi in confusion, and couldn't figure out why this black-robed woman suddenly cared about him. However, being framed by men in black robes one after another has long made him wary of men in black robes. Maybe this Jin Yingzi also wants to gain his trust so that he can continue to frame her.
Thinking of this, Mu Jingyu ignored Jin Yingzi: "Humph, you and they are all in the same group, don't even think about gaining my trust with words. I advise you to stop worrying and follow those people out of here. Bar."
After saying that, he pushed Jin Yingzi hard with his backhand and pushed her away from him. He followed the drunkard and faced Master Songyang.
