On the main peak of Shushan Mountain, the phantom of the ancient tree overlooks the rising star tree more than ten miles away. In ten years, the big tree he separated earlier has grown to more than sixty feet tall, rising from the bottom of the valley. , a tree is like a canopy, covering the land with lush greenery.
The shadow slowly uttered a few words: "What a murderous intention!"
In recent years, the big tree has grown wantonly, competing for the aura and nutrients of the land.
It is cold and cold under the green shade, the vegetation is dead, and there are no flies or insects.
If he hadn't cut off the branches and roots of the big tree and the ancient tree in order to avoid suspicion, and marked out the area of Li Xu, the big tree would have expanded to an unknown extent under the fusion control of the mysterious Taoist priest.
He knew that the Taoist priest had reached a critical moment when he realized his ruthless state of mind, and his murderous intention arose, leaving no room for anything else under the shadow.
Xuying stared in that direction for a long time, constantly weighing various thoughts and calculating for his own benefit. He wanted to take action on the Taoist priest under his eyes several times, but considering the wood poison in his body, he was not sure that he could control the swarthy boy to his advantage.
After so many years of observation, he saw that the relationship between the swarthy boy and the Taoist priest was unusual.
According to his intuition, the young man is not as simple as he appears.
If he destroys the Taoist priest's enlightenment and practice, and fails to kill the Taoist priest completely once, and if he beats the snake but does not die, but suffers the consequences, he will face the Taoist priest's crazy revenge, and those cowards in Tianyingguan cannot rely on it.
He hesitated and wanted to wait, maybe there would be a better opportunity in the future.
Sitting cross-legged about ten feet high in the air, a dark-skinned young man was slowly pulling out the petrified wood poison from the ancient tree. Sweat was pouring from his forehead. He stopped using the magic technique, and a trace of yellow-black aura wrapped around his fingers, exuding the aura of death. .
For You Mengchang, the petrified wood poison that troubled Lian Shuhao became a rare treasure after being refined.
Over the years, he has been very good at controlling the progress of detoxification. It cannot be too fast or too slow. Only an old monster like him who has lived for thousands of years can control the speed just right, allowing Lian Shuhao to cooperate patiently. Time drags on.
"Last time I heard the master say that it might take twenty or thirty years for him to transcend the ruthless state of mind. There are too many concerns about practicing in this place and he cannot go all out. I also ask fellow Taoist Lianshu to bear with me. The losses caused will be waited for the master to get out of seclusion. , he will also make compensation.”
You Mengchang was telling the truth, and it was true.
He heard that there was a temptation in Lian Shuhao's words. When soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, he tried to find a way to deal with it.
Xuying chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter. The spiritual energy he absorbed can be replenished to the valley at will. It will not prevent Tianyingguan from making money. Even if there are some abnormalities, I have covered them up so that they are not noticeable. The trees, flowers and plants that were killed , the impact on the vitality of that land can be recovered within a hundred years of cultivation, so Taoist friend Zhang doesn’t have to worry about it.”
Forget it, wait and see.
The Taoist priest was very capable. He calculated his reaction and sent a message to him through the young man's mouth.
The swarthy boy thanked with a smile, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked step by step on the main peak. He used a pen and paper to record various broken formation nodes and arrangements, so that he could hand them over to the master for sorting and repairing.
He had long told Lian Shuhao that every day he could use magic techniques to pull out a trace of wood poison, and at other times he would use it to eliminate the effects of wood poison on himself. After two months, he would have to go down the mountain to find the master to remove the wood poison. The poison remains harmful.
He also said that if it weren't for the inconvenience for the master, the master's intervention could resolve the ancient tree's troubles as soon as possible.
Of course, just listen to this. Even Shuhao is quite wary of Taoist priests, and Taoist priests will not venture deep into Shushan's lair. Let the swarthy boy slowly remove the wood poison is a safe method acceptable to both parties.
Ten years have passed, and more than 20% of the lithified wood poison in the ancient tree has been resolved, and Lian Shuhao is very satisfied.
"Your master is very knowledgeable and a scholar. He doesn't need to go up the mountain to observe in person. He can sort out suggestions for repairing the formation just through your records. I admire you."
Xuying looked at the young man busy on the mountain and said casually.
The dark-skinned young man kept walking, recording his observations in his hand, and said with a smile: "The master said that he had personally seen the entire structure of the Mu Sha Thunder Array and several other protective formations arranged by Senior Qi, and only restored some of the formations. There is no need for him to waste time by going up the mountain. The landscape of the trees and mountains has changed over thousands of years, so he needs more time to think about it. It's a pity that I have only scratched the surface of my master's ability."
Xuying fell into silence, thinking back to himself, Old Qi didn't have many friends, who was the Taoist priest?
The swarthy boy didn't say anything more. After working for more than an hour, he returned to the cave where he lived and started a small meditation array to adjust his breath.
Everyday life is so regular and boring. Ten years have passed and the young man is not impatient. Of course, even Shuhao will be rewarded with small treasures or materials after a few days, so that the young man who does things can benefit.
Verbal response exchanges like this occasionally occur.
…
Fairy view.
A bell suddenly sounded from the main hall. Zhang Xuanan, who was drinking tea and chatting with a few friends in his yard, silently counted the melodious sounds. When the bell rang more than six times, everyone suddenly stood up.
Something great happened.
Hearing the loud ringing of the bells from behind, Zhang Xuanan hurriedly flew outside, and Digu said: "Could it be that the master has returned to the mountain?"
The bells, drums, and bells hung in front of the main hall of each sect have different meanings in terms of the rhythm and intensity of the sound.
"Every time the temple master comes back to the mountain, he has not yet rung the gathering bell... It has been ringing for nine times, unless the temple master breaks through to the fifth level and returns, hurry up, our Taoist temple has a big event."
Chen Zhong urged, flying into the air towards the mountain peaks several miles away.
Zhang Xuan'an's head moved. He probably knew what the happy event was. The Earth Protector came back from traveling in Nanyuan Continent and had been in retreat in the back mountain for five years.
Countless monks flew out from various courtyards and the Qingzheng Villa, and landed on the square on the top of the mountain. They arranged their robes and buns, climbed the steps, walked through the long corridor, and with solemn expressions, stepped over the high threshold of the main hall and entered the room.
Zhang Xuanan saw the position at the top at a glance. The Earth Protector was still the same as before. He was slovenly and dressed in a rustic dress. He was laughing and chatting with the mountain chief and Taoist Yue. There was an invisible mysterious aura flowing around him, which highlighted the Earth Protector. unusual.
Rows of monks filed into the hall, silently, and soon formed a neat square formation vertically and horizontally.
The mountain chief extended his hand towards the Earth Protector. When Tu Kun stood in the middle, he turned to face the many monks and said with a smile: "We have a great event in the Immortal Spirit Temple. The Earth Protector came out of seclusion today and has been promoted to the fifth level. Steps, everyone, please see me!"
"I wish Earth Protector a smooth promotion and a smooth journey to immortality!"
Everyone was overjoyed and bowed down.
The sound resonates like a roaring bell.
The first monk in the Eastern Continent to advance to the fifth level was at the Fairy Spirit Temple, which made all the monks feel honored.
Fifth level, almost one foot on the threshold of ascending to the upper realm.
