The island has no four seasons and is scorched by the scorching sun all year round. Even if there are wind and rain every now and then, it does not feel unbearably hot.
What's more, those who cultivate immortality are not afraid of cold or heat.
But most afraid of loneliness.
A person stays alone on a desert island for several years. If he has any free time, he will fall into boundless loneliness, as if he has been forgotten by the world and abandoned by heaven and earth.
Therefore, I am busy practicing every day, understanding the exercises, training the monsters, and fishing in the sea, and I dare not have any free time. Even if night falls, you might as well face the starry sky to understand the unpredictable nature of heaven and the cycle of life.
However, there are few stars tonight.
It's another round of lonely moon.
Yu Ye sat on the hillside and looked up silently.
On the stone table beside him were jade slips, volumes, a jar of water, a short sword, and half a piece of fish leftover.
On the beach more than ten feet away, two monster salamanders were lying on their backs. Perhaps thanks to the nourishment of the spirit stones, the indulgence of the sea, and the daily hunting of prey, the two monsters have become thicker. They are more than five feet long including the head and tail, and even the fleshy wings on the back are three feet in size. , a slight fanning is the big sound of flying sand and rocks. But not only that, the once blue-gray scales turned gray-white, and under the moonlight they looked like two huge rocks, exuding a terrifying aura.
Yu Ye looked away from a distance.
The stone wall behind him was covered with dense sword marks, more than sixty in total, which meant that he had been trapped on the island for five years.
I remember that I entered the Yunchuan Immortal Gate at the age of eighteen, traveled out at the age of nineteen, and arrived at Nanyu City at the age of twenty. I am now twenty-five years old. In seven years, his cultivation level has also improved from the third level of Qi refining to the perfect state of the ninth level of Qi refining.
With the improvement of his cultivation level, the Qi of the Seven Kills Sword has become more comfortable and its power has doubled; his spiritual consciousness has also reached more than a hundred feet, and he can see the entire island at a glance. The Heavenly Forbidden Technique, the Incarnation Technique, and the Heavenly Dragon Shield are becoming more skillful; the Divine Dragon Escape Technique is gradually being mastered, and perhaps he will be able to achieve success in another two years.
In addition, in addition to studying the art of talismans and disguise, he also dabbled in elixirs, formations, and various classics.
This is the benefit of practicing with peace of mind!
If you lose something, you will gain something. As long as you pay, you will gain something!
And in the following days, can the foundation be built?
If you can't build a foundation, you can't fly with a sword. Without being able to return to Qizhou, there was no way to find the whereabouts of the overseas monks. Five years have passed, and I don’t know what has happened to Qizhou Xianmen...
"Remember this formula!"
The voice of Jiao Ying's words came from the consciousness, and hundreds of words of formulas were added to the sea of consciousness.
"Gui Qi Jue?"
"Qi is qi. Refining and transforming qi, removing waste and retaining essence, returning qi to build the foundation, the foundation of heaven and earth..."
He and Jiao Ying often quarreled, but when talking about cultivation, Yu Ye always accepted the advice with an open mind. Jiao Ying may not be very old, but her previous level of cultivation is beyond his reach.
"When will you retreat?"
"Three days later."
"Do you remember your promise?"
"Um!"
"According to the agreed deadline, there are still four years left. If you succeed in building the foundation, can you promise me one more thing?"
"oh……?"
Yu Ye doesn't like to say harsh words or big words, and he never makes promises lightly. But now he has two promises, one is to build the foundation within ten years, and the other is to return to Yunchuan Peak and hand over the treasure left by Mo Xiao. Who would have thought that Jiao Ying would make another request, but he didn't dare to agree for a while.
Then I heard Jiao Ying say quietly: "I want to go home!"
She has always avoided talking about her origins, but today she is uncharacteristically different. Yu Ye couldn't help but ask: "Where is your home?"
"Yanzhou."
"Where is Yanzhou?"
As expected, Jiao Ying admitted that she was from Yanzhou, but said, "It won't be too late until you find her in Yanzhou."
"What you are implying is that it is difficult to find Yanzhou?"
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
"snort!"
Yu Ye couldn't help but snorted when he saw her old ways emerging.
"whee!"
Jiao Ying chuckled and said, "My soul body has become somewhat mature. Do you want to see what I look like?"
"Yes I do!"
Yu Ye perked up and quickly closed his eyes.
Deep in the sea of consciousness, there is a small figure, which should be condensed by the soul. The whole body is emitting a faint light, and the clothes, figure, and eyebrows are clearly visible.
I saw a young woman, dressed in green clothes, with shawl hair, bright eyes and white teeth, and a smile like a flower, dancing and singing ballads——
】
"There is a girl who is skillful, weaving clouds into clothes, and her clothes are green, and she is graceful; there is a girl who is beautiful, with green hair like roses, a soul like a dream, and a shadow in the wind!"
…
Yunchuan Peak.
Qingxia Pavilion.
A group of disciples gathered on the mountain terrace where the pavilion was located.
The senior figure at the head was Bu Yi. He was pacing with his hands behind his back, his head lowered, and his face gloomy. There were dozens of disciples standing in front of him, including Dang Guiyi, Yu Xing, Musa, Shang Xin, Li Yuan and others.
It has been two years since he returned to the mountain gate. Although he was ordered to recruit inner disciples, he was limited to patrolling the mountain and was on guard duty. Apparently he received a cold reception. It's just that his trip to Daze failed and he lost many disciples including Nanshan. If he hadn't thought of his hard work, he would have been punished by the sect rules. So he put all the blame on Nanshan and the other two junior brothers, and then he was able to continue to serve as his inner deacon.
It doesn't matter if the mountain tour is on duty, it should be a tour of the mountains to see the scenery. Unless the young man can be found, he is afraid that he is no longer alive.
"Uncle Master!"
A short and capable disciple stepped out from the crowd, held his head high and said, "All of my mountain patrol disciples are here. Please give me your permission."
When Dang Guiyi came, he not only followed Bu Yi to Yunchuan Peak, but also recommended Mu Sha, Shang Xin, Yu Xing, Li Xun, Hong Qiaoer and others to Bu Yi's sect. Now with the support of a group of friends, he has become a famous figure among the new disciples.
Bu Yi was too lazy to say anything more and walked away.
Angelica Yi hurriedly raised her hand and led everyone behind...
At the same time, someone on the cliff looked down and sat down at the stone table again, not forgetting to smile with the woman next to him.
Chen Qi still looks like a good-looking man, and he has reached the perfect state of the ninth level of Qi refining, and he has the air of a master from the immortal sect.
Angelica dahurica, wearing a green Taoist robe, her hair is gently pulled back, and her face is as pretty as ever. She has also cultivated to the ninth level of Qi refining, and is only one step away from the perfect state.
Since joining Hong Lie's sect, their cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.
As the eldest brother of Shenqitang and the direct disciple of Elder Heshan, Hong Lie had all kinds of magic weapons and pills, and his disciples naturally benefited from them and became superior to others. Even if Bu Yi sees Chen Qi, he avoids Daze's past. Maybe he was afraid, or maybe it was a tacit understanding between the two parties.
"Junior sister, this is the Foundation Building Pill rewarded by Master!"
Chen Qi took out an elixir bottle and placed it on the stone table.
Foundation Establishment Pill, when establishing the foundation, can increase the chance of winning by 10%. It is this 10% chance that has killed the dreams of many people. Bai Zhi's eyes sparkled and she nodded in thanks.
"Master ordered me to practice in seclusion and start trying to build the foundation. It has been seven years. I hope that I will be successful in my cultivation. I will return to Daze one day and you and I will work together to rebuild the Tao Sect!"
Chen Qi is full of ambition and speaks passionately.
Bai Zhi's expression darkened. She looked at the cave not far away and said sadly to herself: "Yes, it's been seven years..."
Next to the cave she lives in, there are two other caves, but they have been abandoned for seven years.
"Humph, you still can't forget that boy!"
Chen Qi suddenly felt unhappy and said: "Not to mention that he is already dead. Even if he survives by chance, he will not be able to escape punishment. Master and Grandmaster will definitely not spare him!"
After Mo Xiao, Yu Ye, and Leng Chen disappeared, Xianmen once sent people to Nanyu City to search for them. And for several years, the whereabouts of the three people could not be found. So various rumors spread, and finally Yu Ye became the culprit, saying that he cooperated inside and outside, informed the news, killed his fellow disciples, snatched treasures, and committed the crime of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors. Since the person is dead, why not bear all the guilt.
As for the causes and consequences of the rumors, Bai Zhi was very clear about it.
"Junior sister, don't make any mistakes!"
???????????????Chen Qi stood up and said: "Che Ju and Pu Tong have become senior foundation builders, how can you and I be content to be second to others!"
He dropped a warning in the tone of a senior brother, turned around and walked away.
Bai Zhi looked at the pill bottle on the table and grabbed it in her hand.
As mentioned, after two years of seclusion, Che Ju and Pu Tong have both established their foundations and become "Uncle Che" and "Uncle Pu". How can Bai Zhi, who is so talented and extraordinary, be content to be second to others... …
…
Yunchuan Peak.
On top of the cliff.
In a stone pavilion with three sides in the air.
Elder Hemlock sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his face as sinking as water.
Hong Lie stood aside and said: "According to reports from my disciples lurking in various places, Linghu Bei has been busy contacting the Immortal Sects of the Five Kingdoms in an attempt to harm me. Mu Yuanzi of the Wei Kingdom was unwilling to participate in this matter at first, but now he has obeyed Despite Linghu Bei's persuasion, once he takes the lead in attacking, our Yunchuan Peak will never have peace again. Master——"
Elder Hemlock raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter!"
Hong Lie cupped his hands and said anxiously: "Mu Yuanzi alone is fine, but I am afraid that Linghu Bei, Xun Yuan, and Su Qiuzi will join forces with him. Then we will be outnumbered and our Yunchuan Peak will be in danger!"
"well--"
Elder Hemlock sighed, slowly opened his eyes, and said, "The sect master is angry and insists on his own way. What can you and I do?"
"Why is the sect master angry?"
"The trip to Daze suffered heavy casualties and resulted in nothing being achieved; the trip to Nanyu City was already certain of victory, but complications arose, causing casualties and the loss of treasures. He blamed it on the four major immortal sects, so he did not hesitate to provoke disputes and take revenge!"
"The trip to Daze has nothing to do with the four immortal sects!"
"If this is true, by whose hands did so many of my disciples die?"
"Hmph, he must have something to hide..."
Yunchuan Xianmen sent two groups of disciples to Daze, but only Bu Yi and two disciples returned to the mountain gate. Bu Yi claimed that he was assassinated by an expert in Daze, resulting in the death of three fellow foundation-building disciples and more than a dozen Qi-refining disciples. Hong Lie concluded that Bu Yi had concealed the truth and had always criticized him. The divination was carried out under the orders of the sect leader, so it was not convenient for him and his master to interfere.
Hemlock stretched out his hand and twirled his beard and interrupted: "Since the sect master trusts him, there is no need to mention this matter again. If a war is inevitable, we should prepare for a rainy day!"
Hong Lie cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
