Da Li established a country based on the immortal way.
It is said that the state of Zuo lasts for thousands of years and lasts forever.
However, this Dali Kingdom is the largest country in Yunhan Ancient Star after all.
Its territory is vast, its people are numerous, and its practitioners are numerous.
There are those who aspire to the immortal way, and there are also those who practice the heretical way.
There are sects that practice the path of immortality, and naturally there are sects that practice the path of demons, sects that practice the path of ghosts, and sects that practice the path of Buddhism.
There are even sects that use their human bodies to practice demonic ways.
Qianchuan County was one of the six sage kings of the current dynasty. Under the rule of Guo Shengjun, who was born in the Guo family, the Immortal Path was prosperous in the county, and side sects such as Demonic Path were almost non-existent.
Guo Shengjun's meritorious deeds have reached the level of Nascent Soul, and he has been sitting on the throne of the Holy Lord for more than three hundred years.
The main credit for the prosperity of the Immortal Path in Qianchuan County must be attributed to this Guo Shengjun.
In the early years, when the Buddhist sect came to Ganchuan County to promote Dharma and the Demonic sect invaded Ganchuan County, he once said: "Buddhist sect's lies are just an illusion in the world. Therefore, the purpose is to pursue the so-called enlightenment and obliterate the present world, which is of no benefit... His general remarks All the appearances are empty, but they are just the name and appearance to eliminate the emptiness. If all the appearances are empty, how can they be called emptiness? There is no way! As for the rebellious son of the Demon Sect, there is no need to say more, just kill them when you see them."
There was a rumor among the people that "after the sage finished speaking, all the practitioners of the Buddhist sect covered their faces and said nothing and walked away in a hurry."
The method of inheriting the ancient immortal lineage in Luoyan Valley has been passed down for more than 5,000 years. It is one of the 182 second-class immortal sects in Qianchuan County. The ancestor of its sect is the second level of Jiedan, and the mountain gate is located in the earth fire To the east of the mountains, there is a vast and flat plain with lush water and grass.
Although Luoyan Valley is named Luoyan Valley, it is not in the valley now.
In the old days, when Luoyan Valley was established, there was indeed a valley here. However, the changes in the sea and countless earthquakes over the past five thousand years caused the valley to sink, strange peaks to protrude, and the terrain to change drastically.
Although the terrain has changed drastically, Luoyan Valley is an Immortal Sect after all, and the ancestors of Jiedan have been here for generations.
Even after experiencing many earthquakes, Luoyan Valley has always used a large formation to lock the sect's most important fourth-level spiritual vein - if this spiritual vein is lost, Luoyan Valley will continue to exist, but it will only exist in name only.
The current Luoyan Valley has two peaks.
One is the main peak where the fourth-level spiritual veins are located, and is where the inner gate of Luoyan Valley is located.
The other one is a second-order spiritual vein derived from the two main spiritual veins. The secondary peak located on it is where the outer gate of Luoyan Valley is located.
The mountain gate of Luoyan Valley is also located on the secondary peak.
Although this secondary peak is not as towering as the main peak of 10,000 feet, the mountain on it is flat. The highest point is about five or six thousand feet, and the shortest point is only about 1,000 feet. It is better to say that it is a secondary peak than a tight tuft. to the mountains.
At the foot of the secondary peak is the Xiuzhenfang City established by Luoyan Valley.
Luoyan Valley is only one of the 182 second-class immortal sects in Qianchuan County. The Xiuzhenfang City established is naturally not very prosperous. Although it covers an area of large, covering an area of five or six hundred miles, there are only a few monks in it. , stalls are scattered here and there, and there are not many shops.
The night is deep, the sky is full of stars, and the crescent moon is crescent.
The cold wind blows, the forest sea surges, and the little animals rustle in the forest.
Insects chirped, animals hissed, the wind howled, branches collided, and forest leaves rustled, but the night was even more tranquil.
Among the simple stone barriers built in front of the barren tomb, a few pieces of unburned yellow paper rose in the wind and flew through the air.
A bit of golden light suddenly lit up from the distant sky. In the blink of an eye, it quickly grew in size, like a falling star. It pulled out a long golden thread and swooped across the sky before coming closer.
call!
Strong winds blew down, and chaotic air currents scattered in all directions.
A ray of pale golden light stayed motionless in mid-air. At the same time, an invisible force swept across the surroundings and quickly disappeared.
After half a breath, the pale golden light collapsed inward, revealing a figure wearing a dark yellow robe.
This figure has a handsome face and a tall and slender figure. It is Gu Qing who came from the Dihuo Mountain Range.
"An old friend bid farewell to the west, the vast autumn moon is millions of miles away, old dreams from the past, flying dragons on the sea talk about prosperity, dragons and tigers meet to achieve the true elixir,
The eight sceneries return to Zhao Wusheng, and we meet each other everywhere in the world. We come and go to the same fairyland... Who is it? It should be the monk I met in Kurongfang, Longze Lake..."
"According to what the female cultivator said, that person's surname is Qi..."
"Could it be the alchemist Qi Kun? After all, I only know this male cultivator named Qi in Kurongfang in Longze Lake."
Gu Qing's brows furrowed.
He recalled what the female cultivator who guarded the mountain peak where Chilingfang was saying said. He stayed there for a moment, then slowed down a bit, almost touching the ground, and continued flying forward.
In this Xiuzhenfang City controlled by Luoyan Valley, there are really fewer monks than the occasional barren tomb.
Gu Qing flew forward for dozens of miles before meeting the first group of monks in front of Luoyan Valley.
There are four monks in this group, and they are in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining. The leader is a gray-haired man who is at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. The other three are all younger in appearance. They all look like this Qi Refining tenth level monk. The man on the second floor with straight gray hair looks somewhat similar.
"When we return to Yangu this time, we are not allowed to come back without any trouble... If we dare not walk down the mountain without reaching the advanced stage of Qi refining, we are not afraid of being caught and eaten alive by those demonic cultivators..." This gray-haired man was originally a god. He was on guard and ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time. As he approached the mountain gate of Luoyan Valley, he relaxed a little and began to teach the younger generations of the three families.
But before he could even teach him a few words, he noticed that the eyes of the three family members were a little straightened, and they suddenly turned their heads and looked ahead.
"...Senior, I wonder why this senior is blocking my way?" The gray-haired man looked at Gu Qing, who was standing in the air about ten feet away in front of him, not showing the slightest breath. His heart trembled and he hurriedly hugged him. He cupped his fists, saluted respectfully, and asked.
Gu Qing glanced at the gray-haired man. Behind him, there were three young monks with expressions of anxiety and excitement.
He said expressionlessly: "You know, where is a second-grade alchemist named Qi in this market?"
"A second-grade alchemist named Qi? This..." After hearing this, the gray-haired man's expression froze slightly, he frowned, and began to think hard.
The three young monks behind this man also looked at each other in confusion, obviously not knowing where there was a second-grade alchemist named Qi in Fang City.
Gu Qing's eyes flashed.
"Do you guys know where there is a second-grade alchemist named Fu?" Seeing that several people could not respond, he asked again.
Fu Peiyan is the name of the feminine young man who was told to him before.
The gray-haired man frowned deeper: "Fu... Fu... a second-grade alchemist named Fu..."
Among the three young monks behind him, one was a rather handsome sixth-level Qi-refining male cultivator. Hearing this question, his eyes lit up and he responded: "Senior, our sect does have an elder Fu Peiyan, who is the second-level monk. Alchemist Pin, his shop is on that mountain!"
As he said that, the male cultivator pointed to the side and back, where only the outline of a hill could be seen, and continued: "However, the brothers inside said that the shop has not been open for several years..."
"Thank you so much, little friend." Gu Qing looked at the hill pointed by the male cultivator from afar, threw a high-grade spiritual stone over his hand, then jumped into the air, flew away, and disappeared in front of these people.
Snapped!
The male cultivator who offered guidance to Gu Qing had an idea flash before his eyes, and he quickly stretched out his hand to catch the high-grade spiritual stone that Gu Qing threw over.
His expression immediately froze.
Like the male cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, whose expressions were also frozen at this moment, there were his two companions and the gray-haired man.
All four eyes were fixed on the high-grade spiritual stone that Gu Qing threw casually - this was a high-grade spiritual stone with a fire attribute. Its texture was red and translucent, and it was extremely exquisite. There seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling inside, and the Milky Way was swirling around it. The most precious jade carvings in the world are incomparable.
"High-grade spiritual stone! Nephew, please quickly give this spiritual stone to your fourth uncle for a look... Fourth uncle has never touched a high-grade spiritual stone in his life..." The gray-haired man said with fiery eyes.
"Fifth brother, don't try to monopolize me!"
"Yes, yes, when that senior asked Elder Fu Peiyan, just now your sister
Sister, I also thought of it, but I was a little slow to speak... Fifth brother, you can't ignore your sister's role alone! "
The male cultivator at the sixth level of qi refining had a trembling hand holding the high-grade spiritual stone.
This is a high-grade spiritual stone, equivalent to more than 100 medium-grade spiritual stones, and more than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
It’s enough to exchange for a low-grade spiritual weapon!
You know, it is not easy for many senior monks in the early stage of foundation building to gather together the spiritual stones to purchase low-grade spiritual weapons.
But now, he just pointed the way and got such benefits!
The excited sixth-level male cultivator of Qi Refining naturally wanted to stuff this high-grade spiritual stone into his storage bag.
But at this time, he looked at the three unfamiliar relatives around him, glanced twice at the dense forest in the dark and windy night, and the gate of Luoyan Valley, where only the faint outline could be seen in the distance, and swallowed his saliva.
He glanced at his fourth uncle's hand on the storage bag at his waist, squeezed out a smile, and said with blood dripping from his heart: "How can it be possible! Are we a villain who is unjust for profit? This top-grade spiritual stone is naturally for Evenly divided..."
Gu Qing didn't know that the casually thrown guide almost triggered a tragedy of killing each other.
He simply didn't have a low-grade spiritual stone or a medium-grade spiritual stone in the storage ring. The high-grade spiritual stone was already the lowest value thing he could take out.
As Gu Qing flew away unhurriedly, the outline of the hill in the distance became clearer and clearer, and after just a breath or two, it suddenly appeared before his eyes.
This hill looked like a dirt bag, which reminded Gu Qing of the grave bags he had seen in the desert forest before. As he approached, he looked at the hill and stopped at the top of the hill.
At the top of the hill, a palace is built.
Gu Qing looked at the palace with a strange expression.
Just because this palace is very similar to the shop where he took the photo of Xiaolonghudan in Kurongfang... It can even be said that it is exactly the same!
If he had to find some differences, it would be that the topography of the top of the mountain where this temple is located is somewhat different from the topography of the hill where he took the photo of Xiaolong Hu Dan's shop in Kurongfang.
A flash of reminiscence flashed across Gu Qing's eyes.
He stepped forward to enter the palace.
"Senior, please stop." A young-looking girl in the early stage of Qi refining walked out of the corridor on the side of the entrance to the palace.
Most of this corridor is suspended in the air, and only part of it is connected to the palace. Below is a small clear lake. The water reflects the starlight and is silvery white. Several fish are swimming happily in it, competing for the little girl's investment. Feed and eat.
"My master has no visitors. If this senior needs elixirs, please go elsewhere." The girl put down the basket containing the fish, stood in the corridor, and hugged Gu Qing.
"A certain surname is Gu. Your master should have given instructions. Please be accommodating to me, little friend." Gu Qing smiled softly.
As he spoke, he took out another high-grade spiritual stone and threw it over.
This is a top-grade water spiritual stone, which is washed with pure spiritual energy. As Gu Qing throws it, it flies through the air lightly and falls into the girl's fleshy hands. The girl's eyes are immediately attracted and fall on it. Go up, and the next moment, move away with difficulty.
She grabbed the spirit stone in her hand, her face flushed, nodded, and said seriously: "The master did mention that a man named Gu would come to him. Since your surname is Gu, then come with me."
With that said, the girl put away the high-grade spiritual stone, picked up the basket with fish food on the side, and walked into the palace.
"Ah……"
Gu Qing looked at the girl in front of him, moved his legs quickly, shook his head and laughed, and followed behind the girl.
The interior of the palace is very elegant.
All the decorations in the courtyard with three entrances and three exits were mainly blue-grey. Gu Qing walked slowly, followed the girl, and came to a stone room deep in the palace. A voice sounded from ahead.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Qing has figured it out." The voice of the feminine young man Fu Peiyan came from the stone chamber.
Immediately, the door of the stone chamber was pushed open, and a dull hot air, mixed with red mist, spurted out from the door.
Fu Peiyan's body flashed and he came to the stone room. He touched the girl's little head and said, "Ah Si, please step back."
The girl responded, then glanced at Gu Qing carefully, and after making eye contact with Gu Qing as if he was predicting the future, she blushed and retreated as if to escape.
In front of the stone chamber, only Fu Peiyan and Gu Qing were left.
The two were silent for a long time, and no one said anything.
It wasn't until a few breaths later that Fu Peiyan looked at the somewhat familiar but more unfamiliar figures in front of him and smiled.
Her voice changed from a male voice to a female voice, and she said to Gu Qing: "Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you have returned to your true nature and cultivated to the fake elixir realm. Your style is even better than before. This little girl admires you."
"Earlier, my little disciple He Xu offended me a lot. Brother Gu, please forgive me."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at the monk in front of him intently.
His expression became a little enlightened, and he nodded and said: "It turns out to be Taoist Fellow Qi Gan... I never thought that little friend He Xu was actually a disciple of Taoist Fellow Qi Gan..."
Gu Qing was not too surprised that Fu Peiyan was the alchemist Qi Gan who refined the Xiaolonghu Pill.
After seeing the familiar hills and palaces, Gu Qing already had a similar guess in his mind based on the few words the cultivator left for him.
As for why Qi Qian took the body of a woman, pretended to be a man, and joined the Immortal Sect Luoyan Valley here...
"Fellow Daoist Gu, there doesn't seem to be too many surprises." Fu Peiyan, also known as Qi Gan, continued to transmit the message.
With that said, she turned around, returned to the stone room where the fire was rising, and walked towards the inside of the stone room with her hands behind her hands.
Gu Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, and after a brief sense, he didn't notice the danger, so he followed Qi Qian.
"Accidents, of course, are accidents. How could there be no accidents? But Gu is more concerned about the few words left by fellow Taoist Qi. Forgive Gu for his lack of knowledge and talent. I don't know what the phrase 'the intersection of dragon and tiger creates the true elixir' means?" I also ask fellow Taoist Qi to clarify my doubts. "Gu Qing took a quick look at the layout of the stone room.
This stone chamber has a radius of a hundred feet, and its walls are like mirrors, smooth and translucent. An alchemy furnace is placed in the middle, without any other decoration.
This alchemy furnace is floating in the air, with a height of three to four feet, two ears and three legs. Its whole body is pitch black, with lifelike strange beasts engraved on it.
The alien beasts are like flying flames, surrounding the body of the alchemy furnace. There are thousands of small holes in front of the alchemy furnace. Through these small round holes, you can see the purple-red color inside the furnace. The raging flames, churning and burning.
But even though the flames enveloped the alchemy furnace inside and out, the black body of the alchemy furnace still gave Gu Qing a cold feeling.
"The most straightforward meaning of "The intersection of dragon and tiger to create a true elixir is to tell Fellow Daoist Gu, who has cultivated to the false elixir realm, that this little girl can refine elixirs that can break through the realm of elixir formation." Qi Qian waved his hand and opened the stone gate behind him. Shut it down, sit in front of the alchemy furnace, get straight to the point, and respond without hesitation.
Don't wait for Gu Qing's reaction.
Qi Qian turned his back to Gu Qing, as if he was undefended, and continued: "Gu Daoyou, don't be suspicious, the little girl can see Gu Daoyou's cultivation level, because the little girl has a rare treasure here, as long as the monks in the same territory are present, regardless of their How to cover it up can also give insight into its cultivation.”
"I see, this will put Gu at ease." Gu Qing looked at Qi Qian's back with obscure eyes, nodded and smiled.
'There seems to be no formation deployed here..."
'If I take action, I will immediately use all my strength to suppress this person in an instant, but try not to hurt his life... at the very least, his soul must be preserved...' Gu Qing's thoughts were spinning rapidly.
Qi Gan's spine felt slightly chilly.
Her heart moved, she glanced back at Gu Qing, and continued: "Did Fellow Daoist Gu plan to capture Qi? Faced with Fellow Daoist Gu, a monk in the fake alchemy realm, Qi dared to be so generous, so he naturally prepared a backup plan... Therefore, I advise fellow Taoist Gu to give up this idea."
"What's more, besides Qi, there is no other monk in the world who knows how to refine the Dragon-Tiger Hunyuan Pill!"
"Fellow Daoist Qi is serious!
How could Gu be that kind of person? Gu Qing frowned, his face full of righteousness, "I wonder why fellow Taoist Qi called Gu here? Gu will do his best to help."
Qi Qian took a deep look at Gu Qing and looked away.
Her eyes reflected the fire in front of her, and she was silent for a moment.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Gu has made up his mind not to join Luoyan Valley! Forgive Qi, if you don't join the Immortal Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move even an inch in this Great Li territory." Qi Qian said as if sighing.
Gu Qing put his hands behind his hands and looked at the alchemy furnace.
He said: "Luoyan Valley is just a small force. If Gu can achieve the Formation Pill, why would he join such a small force? If Gu cannot form the Formation Pill, he will just die, let alone join such a small force... Uh, In fact, according to Gu's opinion, the Great Li territory is really not conducive to practice."
Hearing this, Qi Qian curled his lips.
"Dali established a country based on the immortal way, which can be applied up and down. Since the ancestor of Dali, the immortal way here is the immortal way supplemented by the way of incense. Our monks, especially the senior Jiedan, practice here, which is comparable to that in Yunhan On the ancient star, cultivation in other places is more than ten times faster." When she mentioned this, a strange color flashed in her eyes.
"However, since Fellow Daoist Gu doesn't plan to enter Yangu...Qi, there is indeed one thing that I have to ask of Fellow Daoist Gu." Qi Qian flicked his hand and shot out a spiritual light, which fell on the alchemy furnace in front of him. The furnace lid flew up and hung above the alchemy furnace.
The sound of burning hot flames seemed to be filled with deep bewitchment.
Qi Qian waved his sleeves, took out dozens of medicinal materials, threw them into the alchemy furnace in front of him one by one, and actually refined the elixir.
At the same time, she was distracted and continued to say to Gu Qing: "Qi needs fellow Taoist Gu to enter a dangerous place in Luoyan Valley and pick two fourth-level elixirs for Qi. One is Golden Jade Lotus and the other is Demon Yin. Grass... To be honest, these two fourth-level elixirs are the second main ingredients for refining the Dragon and Tiger Hunyuan Pills. If fellow Taoist Gu is willing to help with this, the reward will be two Dragon and Tiger Hunyuan Pills." Xiu Shuzhu
Gu Qing's heart moved.
A light flashed in his eyes, and he narrowed his eyes. The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he asked: "I wonder how much this Dragon Tiger Hunyuan Pill can increase the chance of forming a pill? In addition, go to that dangerous place to pick the elixir. What's so dangerous about it that prevents fellow Taoist Qi from going there in person?"
At this time, Qi Qian had already put all the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace.
She fired out a flash of spiritual light again, and the lid of the alchemy furnace suddenly fell down. Then she pinched her fingers and fired one after another of spiritual light into the alchemy furnace in front, causing the three or four-foot-high alchemy furnace to spin. A slightly spicy aroma spread out from the hole in front of the alchemy furnace.
After hearing Gu Qingzhi's question, she looked calm.
"The Dragon and Tiger Hunyuan Pill is the upgraded version of the Little Dragon and Tiger Pill. They are both derived from the ancient Dragon and Tiger Pill... Although the Dragon and Tiger Pill that exists in this world has the same name as the ancient Dragon and Tiger Pill, the two There is no such thing as...the real Dragon and Tiger Pill is the pill used by monks of the third-level Taoist foundation of the ancient sect to break through the pill formation."
"The Dragon and Tiger Hunyuan Pill modified by Qi is based on the Little Dragon and Tiger Pill, combined with the Great Dragon and Tiger Pill, and expanded and derived. It can have more than 60% of the medicinal power of the Great Dragon and Tiger Pill!"
As he spoke, Qi Qian's face was full of enthusiasm, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were filled with light, and his fingers were pinching faster and faster.
clang!
After pinching out more than a thousand finger tricks in succession, Qi Qian punched out the last finger trick. A ball of spiritual light the size of a head flew out of his hand and landed on the alchemy furnace, making a sound like gold and iron. The black pill furnace, which was three to four feet high, immediately stopped rotating.
call!
Above the body of the alchemy furnace, black light rose like a curtain, quickly introverting and shrinking along the dense holes in front of the alchemy furnace.
The black light annihilated the flames burning inside and outside, causing the entire alchemy furnace to glow with a dark luster. Twenty or thirty red auras scattered from under the suddenly rising lid of the alchemy furnace.
Qi Qian took out three pill bottles, put away a total of twenty-six spiritual lights with a wave of his hand, and threw one of the pill bottles to Gu Qing.
