In the Kaminryu sect, there is a mountain with evergreen vegetation, covered with Qihuayao grass, and flowing streams, all around. Although the scenery is pleasant and full of inspiration, it is very quiet and inaccessible. There is no other place, which is why it is known as the Kaminryu sect. The place where Venerable Chuhe practiced.
Outside a stone gate that seems to be integrated with the mountain wall, there is a canopy of pine trees. Under the pine trees, a middle-aged Taoist is sitting cross-legged on a futon with his heart raised to the sky. His face is calm, and there seems to be brilliance under his jade-like skin. Overflowing color, flowing endlessly.
Not far from him, a Shinryu disciple was kneeling in front of the stone gate, reporting something in a low voice. Not long after, a faint voice came from the stone gate: "So Mu He means that he is powerless, right?"
The disciple bowed his head and replied: "Master believes that Master Zhenxiang Guandao Miao has extraordinary supernatural powers and should be regarded as the Master Yuanying. Now that the Master cannot come out, Master and Master Langhe are trying their best to maintain the sect. The door is not suitable for provoking enemies."
The voice behind the door was not urgent, but asked slowly: "Mu He doesn't like you?"
The disciple suddenly broke into a cold sweat and responded: "Master loves this disciple very much."
The voice behind the door seemed to smile slightly and asked: "If he really loves you, would he ask you to come to my place to report this kind of news?"
Without waiting for a response, the mountain wall suddenly roared and the vibration continued. The stone door slowly opened, and the thin mist dispersed. A majestic man with a huge stature and majestic hair appeared from it, looking down at the disciple. , asked: "I gave the sect to Mu He to take care of, and my son was killed, so he responded to me by saying that it is not appropriate to provoke enemies?"
At this time, the disciple no longer dared to reply, so he had to kowtow repeatedly. Chu He hummed softly, and without getting angry with the junior, he stepped out of the cave door.
At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist who had been unmoved suddenly suddenly appeared in front of the cave door. He turned sideways and slightly blocked Chuhe's path. He clasped his hands and said: "Brother Taoist has not arrived yet, please come out." Brother Dao, please don’t embarrass me."
Chu He's expression did not change, and the castration had not stopped. The middle-aged Taoist took another step forward, this time his tone was a little more serious, and said: "Brother Taoist, please stop."
Only then did Chu He stop, but he didn't reply. Instead, he cast a stern look downwards and shouted: "Get lost."
The disciple who was still kowtowing felt relieved and hurriedly stood up with a big salute, and then he left in a hurry.
It was only then that Chu He said to the middle-aged Taoist in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoist, do you know that my son was killed by others?"
The middle-aged Taoist sighed and advised: "The ban on Brother Tao is agreed upon by the Five Regions Sect. If Brother Tao goes out at this time, wouldn't it be giving the Long Xiang Sect a handle?"
Chu He said coldly: "Long Xiang's children are all weak people. What should I be afraid of?"
Seeing that he still refused to retreat, the middle-aged Taoist could not hold his breath anymore. He frowned and said, "Brother Taoist, please don't forget that not every one of the five sects supports the Kamishen-ryu to replace him with the Dragon Prime."
At this time, Chu He's expression became solemn and he was silent for a while.
The middle-aged Taoist knew that he was wavering, so he continued to persuade: "Compared with the position of the Dragon Prime Minister in the Cave Heaven, which is more important than a moment of hatred and anger, I guess my Taoist brother knows better than me. What's more, a gentleman takes revenge. It's not too late in ten years. It's just a matter of time." A golden elixir monk will just take care of whatever he wants after Taoist brother comes out of seclusion."
Having said this, Chu He finally nodded, looked at the sky and sighed, saying lightly: "Wei'er is my child with the best qualifications."
The middle-aged Taoist said: "My condolences, brother Taoist. Isn't there nephew Xi who is studying Taoism in my sect? I believe that with our sect's efforts in cultivating him, his future achievements will not be lower than those of nephew Wei."
Chu He finally seemed to show some comfort, nodded, and retreated into the cave without replying.
As Chu He's figure disappeared, the stone gate gradually closed up. The middle-aged Taoist turned back and came under the pine trees. He shook his head, took out the talisman paper and wrote something on it, and sent it into the air. Then he finally closed his eyes and fell into concentration again.
——
The result of the border battle between the two states and the news of Moyun Sect's sealing of the mountain spread to all directions by word of mouth. Daomiao Master Xu Zhuang became famous in all major states and counties, and even spread to the five regions. At the same time, the True Form Concept also The decline was reversed and the reputation was greatly improved.
In the blink of an eye, within a year, Zhenxing Guan's luck seemed to have turned from decline to prosperity. When the mountain was opened, thousands of cultivators came to cast their seeds. Among them, Qin Dengxiao cast the Perfect Dao Foundation. He began to try the method of refining, and Wen Ning completed it. Good news such as high-grade golden elixirs came one after another.
Apart from this, Yunlan Prefecture seemed to have calmed down for a while, and during this year, Xu Zhuang was finally able to calm down and practice well.
Over the past year, Xu Zhuang spent most of his time in the Heavenly Waterfall refining his Qi and concentrating his spirit. While cultivating his daily essence, he occasionally went out to the Heavenly Waterfall to take a nap. Naturally, he would not forget about Taoism, no matter which one he was thinking about. Whatever state you are in, just pick it up and practice it.
So he followed his heart's desire, and his progress was not slow. Especially when he had been focusing on practice, he had repeatedly studied the Taisu False Form method in order to create the Xu Xing Xuan Creation Dragon Dao Technique. It turned out to be a matter of course, and he easily achieved the sixth level.
It has to be said that as Xu Zhuang's Taoist practice deepens, the wonderful benefits brought to him by his foundation and the three true transmissions of Taisu become more and more obvious. Practicing sixth-level Taoism at the golden elixir realm is somewhat random. Taste, maybe it is not difficult to choose a discipline and practice diligently, and reach the seventh level. However, although the Taoism is good, if you delay the practice for it, it is putting the cart before the horse.
And while Xu Zhuang was practicing meditation, someone finally came to Yunlan Prefecture from thousands of miles away and climbed to the gate of Zhenxing Temple.
Not long after the disciples of the mountain gate handed him the greeting card, they were surprised to find that the boy accompanying the master, Taoist Zhang, hurried outside the mountain gate, personally welcomed the guest, and went directly to the director's hall.
What the disciples of the mountain sect didn't even know was that not long after this guest arrived at the director's hall, a flying letter flew to the cave of Master Daomiao, the Optimizing Jade Pillar that is now revered by everyone in the sect.
Xu Zhuang happened to be taking a nap in his mansion that day, and Xue Yuren was also in the hall. This jade woman was very slow in her practice, but her heart towards the Tao was firm. She seized the opportunity to ask Xu Zhuang a few questions about his practice, and then stood aside like a stone statue. Seems to be thinking.
Xu Zhuang had nothing to do to drive the girl, and she did not immediately return to the quiet room. Instead, she released the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword and circled it in a radius of one foot above the hall. She practiced the sword skills at will and began to meditate.
He has never stopped practicing swordsmanship, but recently he has vaguely realized that his swordsmanship is different from Taoism. No matter how hard he improves, he will not be able to make any qualitative changes before he becomes Yuan Ying, and he has hit a bottleneck.
That's all. In fact, Xu Zhuang's swordsmanship is already very powerful, and he has the magic weapon Flying Sword at his side. Logically, he is not worried about the killing power of the flying sword. However, he has obtained the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword for so long, but he has never used this sword. Make it like an arm using fingers.
This is because the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword's spirituality is really rare and strong. Generally speaking, the magic weapon is to give birth to its true form. At first, it was as ignorant as a child, let alone the phantom magic weapon. The spirituality should be very simple. That's right.
For example, even if Ming Zunxiang admires him, his spirit is incomplete, but with the sacrificial refining method in hand, the sacrificial refining will not cause any obstacles. It has been completely refined by Xu Zhuang, and it is used as a treasure to purify the heart and eliminate demons. It has always worked.
But the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword is so different. Its spirituality has never truly obeyed Xu Zhuang. Even though he has the method in his hand, Xu Zhuang has not completely refined the treasure ban after more than ten years, and is always short of the final step. step.
This makes the swordsmanship in his hands now seem to have gradually turned from the most relied-upon trump card into a auxiliary means. Dealing with some Jindan monks is naturally like slaughtering chickens and dogs, but if he fights Yuanying, it will be difficult to use only swordsmanship. Gotta have the upper hand.
While Xu Zhuang was thinking, a flying book suddenly shot out from outside the mansion, interrupting Xu Zhuang's thoughts. Xu Zhuang took the flying book with his hand and did not open it in a hurry, but shook his head and smiled.
He is not a pure swordsman, and he does not need to pursue higher swordsmanship at this juncture. Thinking about it this way, the solution is very simple.
One is that after he refines the Nascent Soul, his swordsmanship will naturally improve by leaps and bounds again. The other is that it is a matter of time and effort. No matter how unsatisfied the Taiyi Rainbow Sword is, with the sacrificial refining method in hand, he will be able to completely refine it sooner or later. But for now Xu Zhuang didn't have this much time, so he could only wait until Yuanying came.
With this plan in mind, Xu Zhuang temporarily put his sword skills on his mind. He flicked the flying book in his hand and glanced at it. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he ordered Xue Yuren to guard the cave. There was no need to close the door. He went Go and come back.
Xue Yuren responded expressionlessly, and Xu Zhuang stood up and came outside the mansion. A cloud of smoke rose up and fell outside the director's hall in a moment. He appeared and walked towards the middle of the hall.
In the main hall, two people were already talking. One was the unshakable Taoist Zhang, but the other was a young man wearing a beaded star crown, covered with splendid mountains and rivers, and whose appearance was extraordinary.
Even though he was in the Zhenxiang Guanshan Gate, this man still showed some arrogance unconsciously in his behavior. It was not until Xu Zhuang entered the palace that his face became slightly solemn, he stood up and clasped his hands and said: "The true biography of the dragon, Chao Wanzhan , I have met Master Daomiao."
Xu Zhuang did not hesitate to return the gift and said: "I have met fellow Taoist. You and I have similar cultivation levels. We should be peers, so there is no need to address me respectfully."
Chao Wanzhan responded happily: "What fellow Taoist said is true."
The two of them sat down again. Xu Zhuang's eyes swept over Chao Wanzhan's face, and with a thought in his heart, he asked, "When I look at the face of fellow Daoist Chao, it seems a little familiar?"
Chao Wanzhan said with a smile: "A year ago, when fellow Taoists defeated Venerable Qiu Song, Chao happened to be in the audience. Maybe he was lucky enough to have a photo with fellow Taoists at that time."
"That's it." Xu Zhuang smiled and nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "Fellow Taoist has come all the way from thousands of miles away to look for Xu by name, but I don't know why?"
Chao Wanzhan smiled when he heard this, cupped his hands and said: "Now the reputation of fellow Taoist has spread to the Dragon Phase Realm. He has used the golden elixir body to overwhelm the Yuanying Master. Such talent and foundation can be said to shock the past and the present."
"Yunlan Prefecture is also under the jurisdiction of my Dragon Phase Territory. When I heard about the emergence of such a figure as Taoist Fellow, our sect was very pleased and ordered me to send a gift to congratulate him."
After saying that, Chao Wanzhan wiped it from his sleeve, took out a jade husk, put it on the table and said with a smile: "This Heavenly Pure True Sand was refined by the spirit collected from the Heavenly Waterfall by the Venerable Master of our sect. It will be of great help to fellow Taoists in their practice."
Xu Zhuang's eyes flashed, but he did not look at the pure sand that day. Instead, he replied: "No merit will be rewarded for no merit. The loyalty of your clan has reached its end. The gift is too heavy, but Xu can't accept it. Please take it back, fellow Taoist."
Chao Wanzhan's smile faltered slightly, his thoughts changed for a moment, but he raised his hand and responded: "Fellow Taoist, you are joking, a mere gift is not valuable, let alone a gift given out, there is no reason to take it back, please accept it, fellow Taoist." .”
Without waiting for Xu Zhuang to evade, he went on to say: "Chao came to visit this time not only to offer gifts, but also to carry the sect's mission. If fellow Taoist don't accept it, how can Chao have the face to say anything?" .”
Xu Zhuang shook his head and said: "What mission does Fellow Taoist have? Just tell me frankly."
Seeing that Xuzhuang's oil and salt were not coming in, Chao Wanzhan gritted his teeth and did not take any chances, so he said bluntly: "Fellow Taoists must also know that the current situation of our Long Xiangzong is quite similar to that of Guizong before."
"The Heavenly Waterfall Dharma Festival is coming, but in our Longxiang sect, it is a time of crisis, and there are some Shenliu thieves who are eyeing the Dragon Xiang and replacing them." Chao Wanzhan said solemnly: "As far as I know , there are also many conflicts between the noble sect and Shenliu, you and I can definitely form a pact of friendship and alliance."
Xu Zhuang said without comment: "The Guizong is one of the major sects in the five regions and has a profound foundation. The Shenliu sect also has Venerable Chuhe, who has refined the third level of Nascent Soul. How can I be compared to the virtues of my true form concept?"
Chao Wanzhan said: "Fellow Taoist, you are too modest. According to the records in our sect, once a person who is a top-grade golden elixir achieves Nascent Soul, it is very possible to refine the Gangyun and break into the second level."
After saying this, Chao Wanzhan was startled when he saw Xu Zhuang was smiling but not smiling. He knew that he couldn't hold his breath anymore. He thought about it and thought: When talking to such a person, it is better to speak frankly and talk about it in a roundabout way. Meaningless.
Then he continued: "As long as fellow Taoist is willing, our sect can provide this heavenly pure sand to help fellow Taoist quickly refine the Nascent Soul. It's no problem."
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "If I agree to do this, what will your sect do with my ally?"
Chao Wanzhan said in a deep voice: "Our sect hopes that after fellow Taoists become Nascent Souls, they will take the lead for our sect at the Heavenly Waterfall Dharma Assembly and have a show with Venerable Chu He."
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang laughed and said, "With just a little bit of real sand, you want Xu to fight against the Venerable Chuhe?"
Chao Wanzhan said hurriedly: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. Our sect does not want you to fight with Venerable Chu He for your life. All we need is for you to consume some of Venerable Chu He's magic power and discover one or two of his magical powers. Our sect will The Venerable dealt with it more calmly."
Xu Zhuang waited for him to finish his words and then said, "Fellow Taoist, you have misunderstood."
"Huh?" Chao Wanzhan looked at him in confusion, only to see Xu Zhuang's expression was indifferent, and he said: "Although Venerable Chu He has a high level of cultivation, he is not afraid of Xu."
"But if you want me to solve this matter for your sect, it depends on whether your sect is sincere or not. If it is just a little bit of real sand, there is no need to mention it again."
"What?" Chao Wanzhan suspected that he had heard something wrong. What does it mean to 'solve this matter'? Chu He, a dignified Yuan Ying Dacheng monk and even Long Xiangzong was worried about him, seemed to be able to do it easily among this population. Cooking?
What is it that makes this person so arrogant?
This ridiculous statement did not make Chao Wanzhan angry at all, but he said in a strange tone: "Oh? What do you think is sincerity?"
Xu Zhuang didn't care, and just said calmly: "If your sect is willing to show me the method of achieving the cave, I can accept it."
Chao Wanzhan stood up suddenly and sneered: "It seems that the ones who are insincere are Taoist friends." He was about to turn around and leave, but heard Xu Zhuang's voice behind his ears: "Wait a minute."
Chao Wanzhan turned around disdainfully and asked, "I wonder if you have any other advice?"
Xu Zhuang nodded expressionlessly at a handful of real dendrobium sand on the table and said, "Fellow Taoist, please take back this gift."
"Okay, Master Daomiao, you are very good." Chao Wanzhan flicked his sleeves and robes, rolled up the Tianjing Zhensha, walked out of the hall without looking back, set up the escape light and flew away.
