Early in the morning, Li Xiuping and others set off directly and continued southward, heading straight to Bingjimen.
Although Master Huo Ling has made up his mind, his whole state is still obviously different at this moment. It seems that he will not let go of those so-called past events so easily.
According to the previous agreement, Li Xiuping will not reveal his identity, and he will not interfere in the affairs of Master Huo Ling if it is not necessary.
From then on, it took about a month to go to Bingji Gate. During this period, Yang Erni finally entered the Qi training period, which was considered to be her real start to practice. As for stepping into the door of practice, it still depends on her. Can we enter the foundation building period?
Originally, according to Li Xiuping's speculation, the time when Yang Erni and Chu Yan entered the foundation building stage would not be very different, but now it seems that Chu Yan should have entered much earlier, because Yang Erni not only suppressed the breakthrough time during the body training stage, After reaching the qi training period, he continued to work steadily and seemed to be in no hurry at all about improving his realm.
This is not a bad thing. Li Xiuping naturally won't say anything. Anyway, with the sword intent he left behind, no matter how poor Yang Erni's talent is, there is no problem in reaching the Nascent Soul stage in this life. .
Anyway, Li Xiuping didn't expect them to achieve any high level of achievement. He just hoped that they would be able to protect themselves and live a better life in the future because they had embarked on this path.
This is true for both Chu Yan and Yang Erni.
Of course, with Chu Yan's talent and the guidance from Li Xiuping and Master Qingming, her future achievements will definitely be high. This is an undeniable fact and her destined destiny.
They just walked and stopped all the way, no different from before, and soon entered the boundary of Bingji Gate.
Similar to Zuiyue Valley, Bingji Sect also has a strong man in the God Transformation stage, but compared to the master of Zuiyue Valley, there is still some gap in strength. However, there are many monks at the peak of Nascent Soul stage. Overall, the strength is stronger than Zuiyue Valley.
Taoist sects are usually on the top of the mountain where spiritual energy gathers, and this Bingji sect is no exception. Fortunately, both Yang Erni and Chu Yan have entered the Qi training period and can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth to replenish their own losses. Things like mountain climbing no longer have to be as painful as before.
Furthermore, they were all able to board Tianchan Temple in the first place, and now it is no problem to join Jimen. After all, there is no formation like Tianchan Temple here.
This time Li Xiuping and others visited as friends of Huo Ling, so it was Master Huo Ling who came forward in everything, and Li Xiuping and others only had to follow.
Before the mountain gate, Master Huo Ling still hesitated, but now that he was in front of the mountain gate, it was impossible to return. After taking a long breath, he walked up.
He first took out a token, and then explained his identity to the Bingji Sect disciples on duty at the mountain gate. The two disciples on duty suddenly frowned, obviously unaware of his existence.
In fact, it's no wonder. More than three hundred years have passed, and the disciples who can only guard the gate here must not know much about the sect's past, let alone such trivial matters.
However, it seemed that what the two people said was reasonable and well-founded. They might really be their seniors in the Bingji Sect. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect them. One of them took the token given by Master Huo Ling and ran directly towards the mountain.
It stands to reason that Master Huo Ling was a disciple of Bingji Sect three hundred years ago and was a genius of Bingji Sect's generation. Now that the people in charge of Bingji Sect know about it, they will go out to greet him in person. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. After the disciple who went to pass the message came back, he said that the master was waiting in the main hall and he would take them there.
As everyone entered the mountain gate and began to climb the mountain, it took a lot of time and energy to make many twists and turns along the way.
Along the way, Master Huo Ling would also look around, sometimes even frowning, and even asking the disciple who was leading the way. Obviously, the Bingji Sect has undergone a lot of changes in the past three hundred years, such as the people along the way. Many of the layouts are no longer what they were when Master Huo Ling was here.
Although Master Huo Ling was obviously neglected when he came back this time, in the eyes of the disciple who led the way, it was not the case, because in his opinion, being able to be received by the master in person was already the highest treatment, so he decided that It turned out that this person was their senior of Bingji Sect, but he just came back now for some unknown reason.
When asked by Master Huo Ling, the disciple would also tell the story one by one. From his story, we could also hear some changes that had taken place in Bingji Sect over the years, but they were all in recent years. This disciple obviously didn't know about the more distant events.
After bypassing a mountain peak, they came to a huge circular platform with suspended abyss on both sides. Only the place where they came from and the one directly in front of them could pass.
This scene alone shows that Bingji Sect has spent a lot of energy. Without enough spirit stones and enough strong people to work together, it would be difficult to create such a scene.
After the platform, there is the square, which is also the main hall of Bingjimen. Like other Taoist sects, the main hall is dedicated to the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty. Until this time, no one from Bingjimen came out to receive this Bingjimen. The genius of three hundred years ago made Li Xiuping a little doubtful whether what this guy told him at the beginning was true.
You must know that Master Huo Ling was already the genius of Bingji Sect three hundred years ago, and then stayed in Penglai Immortal Boat for three hundred years. Regardless of the changes in his cultivation in Penglai Immortal Boat during these three hundred years, there are no changes. It is said that when you come back from such a secret realm full of treasures, you will normally bring a lot of good things with you. Therefore, even if Bingji Sect really has no friendship with Zhenren Huo Ling, it is not like they are not even interested in the treasures in the secret realm.
The current situation is indeed somewhat unreasonable.
However, Li Xiuping was able to quickly figure out the reason for this. After all, when Master Huo Ling attacked him in the secret realm, he obviously received instructions from the outside. Naturally, the only one who could convey this meaning and convince Master Huo Ling was A disciple of Bingjimen.
Although both demons and humans suffered a lot of losses in the ruins, many survived, and naturally there were also Bingji Sect disciples among them.
When the disciples of the Bingji Sect return to the sect, they will naturally report what happened to the Penglai Immortal Boat to the head of the Bingji Sect. Then the Bingji Sect will naturally be able to understand the general situation of the real Huo Ling in the secret realm, and may even already know it. He was beheaded by Li Xiuping in the secret realm.
Nowadays, someone comes to the door with his token, and it may not be the genius who entered the secret realm of Bingjimen, so it is reasonable for Bingjimen to adopt the current attitude.
One thing is certain now, that is, the entire Bingji Sect does not seem to know the identity of their group. Otherwise, even if Bingji Sect has the support of Kunlun Mountain behind it, it will not be so calm at the moment. As early as they approached Bingji There was already action before the door.
The disciple of Bingji Sect who was leading the way stopped at this time, saluted Master Huo Ling, and said: "After passing the main hall, there is the living room. The master is waiting for you there. I can only send a few seniors here. "
Master Huo Ling nodded and said, "Thank you."
This disciple of the Bingji Sect had not gone far when an old Taoist in blue came out of the hall. He frowned at Li Xiuping and others, and then asked, "Junior Brother Qiao?"
Master Huo Ling frowned and said, "Are you...Senior Brother Cheng?"
The old Taoist nodded and said: "I didn't expect that after so many years, Junior Brother Qiao would still recognize me. Earlier, Junior Brother Head said that you were back, and I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that it turned out to be true."
Master Huo Ling smiled and said: "Senior brother can send the news to me in Penglai Immortal Boat, so how can I not know?"
The old Taoist's face was obviously a little embarrassed, and he smiled and said: "Didn't the disciple who came back say that you..."
He seemed to have noticed Li Xiuping and others just now, so he changed the subject and asked, "Who are these?"
Master Huo Ling said: "They are some friends I met on the road. They happened to be going south and passed by here, so they came with me."
The old Taoist had no doubts and nodded: "That's it."
He turned his gaze back to Master Huo Ling, frowned and said, "Junior brother entered Penglai Immortal Boat at the foundation-building stage. After staying in Penglai Immortal Boat for three hundred years, why is it that he only cultivated at the Golden Core stage?"
Master Huo Ling said calmly: "If senior brother hadn't asked me to deal with that person in the secret realm, my current cultivation level should be higher than senior brother."
The old Taoist frowned slightly and said with a hint of guilt: "This is what the master brother wants. I am just responsible for delivering the message. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell the master brother later. The master is still waiting for you. , then I will leave first."
He didn't care much about this junior brother who disappeared for three hundred years before coming back, and naturally he didn't care about the so-called friends he brought back.
After the old Taoist finished speaking, he left directly. Master Huo Ling led Li Xiuping and others into the main hall and to the living room.
On the way, Li Xiuping said with a smile: "We don't seem to be very popular, and the senior doesn't seem to like that senior brother very much. How about I go find him and talk to him? It just takes into account what the senior did to me." Calculate."
Master Huo Ling suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "You're joking. Since I promised my senior, I will naturally not break my promise. As for the matter of their original intention to kill me, we will talk about it later."
Master Huo Ling could only nod his head.
Li Xiuping said at this time: "I just feel unfair for the seniors. The seniors have left the sect for so long, but they still fought and died for them in Penglai Immortal Boat. Now that they have saved their lives and come back, they are treated like this." , both emotionally and rationally, it cannot be justified.”
Layman Qingming said: "We are here only for the secret method, and other things are not important."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Looking at the current situation, it may be difficult to obtain the secret technique."
The layman Qingming also frowned. Indeed, judging from the treatment he received when he returned to the sect, it was almost impossible to obtain the secret technique unless he grabbed it forcefully.
