In the Xuanhuang world, it is autumn, the time when the sky is high and the air is crisp.
In front of the Arctic Pavilion, a young disciple with a young face was holding a broom and cleaning the empty terrace alone.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar in the sky, which continued continuously, which shocked the young man. He hurriedly looked up and saw thunderclouds rolling in from all directions, covering half of the sky in an instant.
Suddenly, the entire Arctic Pavilion seemed to be plunged into the gloom of a storm.
However, the young man did not panic. In this Taisu Zongzong, could anything surprising happen? He just pursed his lips and said, "Didn't Master Dao say that the Heavenly Xiang Palace will be clear today?"
He shook his head and was about to return to the main hall when he suddenly saw the sloppy old Taoist appearing outside the hall door, looking into the sky and murmuring:
"The storm is stirring, the dragon and the tiger are intersecting. When will it be possible to refine a high-grade golden elixir by practicing hard in the Arctic Pavilion?"
"High-grade golden elixir!" The young disciple was surprised, and immediately his eyes seemed to burst with light. Perhaps he was young and immature, but he actually asked himself: "I don't know how long it will take me to refine it into high-grade gold." Dan.”
The sloppy old Taoist was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes and shouted: "Guan Xiaozi, first complete the perfect Taoist book, and then think about the high-grade golden elixir after entering the inner gate."
The young man was still unconvinced and was about to argue when a chuckle suddenly came from the roar of dragons and tigers in the sky. A Taoist suddenly walked out from nowhere, put his big hand on the back of the young disciple's head and rubbed it, and said with a smile : "Having ambition is not necessarily a bad thing."
The young man looked at the Taoist's face, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "Uncle Zhou!"
Zhou Jun smiled slightly and asked, "What's your name?"
After confirming that the person in front of him was the most popular true disciple in the sect, the young man suddenly became nervous and responded: "Disciple Guan Jue."
"Guan Jue?" Zhou Jun looked at this kid, and for some reason he was very pleasing to his eyes. He couldn't help but ask: "Your skills are still low, but your foundation is good. Is there anyone who can teach you?"
"No one has ever taught me." Guan Jue replied honestly: "I am an ordinary person. Because I admired the immortal way, I came to Yunmeng Ze alone to seek Taoism. I was taken in by Xu Xing Kuan. I practiced Taoism for eight years before entering the outer sect."
"Oh?" Zhou Jun nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "Practice well and don't be lazy."
Guan Jue responded yes, and Zhou Jun paid no attention to it. He bowed to the sloppy old man and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The sloppy old Taoist chuckled and said, "You don't have to be polite, my nephew. I guess you are here to support this new true successor?"
Zhou Jun responded: "Exactly."
The sloppy old man shook his head and said: "In all the years since the Arctic Pavilion was opened, this is the first time that someone has broken through to a high-grade golden elixir, which is surprising."
Zhou Jun looked at the sky and saw that the vision had gradually dissipated. He smiled and said, "This junior also came here to wait in compliance with the Master's decree. I don't know which fellow disciple he is."
Even so, he actually had a vague guess and couldn't help but look towards the Arctic Pavilion. At the same time, the sloppy old Taoist's eyebrows moved and he looked back.
I saw a handsome Taoist priest who seemed to be less than twenty years old slowly walking out of the temple. After the thunder clouds dispersed, the setting sun seemed to make him a little dazed. After looking up, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face. .
"This person's skills are considered to be top-notch. Taisu Zhengzong is really blessed with great luck."
In Zhou Jun's mind, the Five Elements Boy's comments suddenly appeared. He ignored them, clasped his hands and stepped forward, saying loudly: "Congratulations to my junior brother for refining the top-grade golden elixir. From now on, there is hope for eternal life and a great path."
The handsome Taoist priest smiled and nodded, and responded: "I think it must be Senior Brother Zhou who is in front of me. My younger brother Qin Dengxiao has long admired his name."
Zhou Jun secretly said that sure enough, although he did not know this person, he had just heard Yuan Hao say a few days ago that this person was arranged by Master Dao Miao to devote himself to practice in the Arctic Pavilion. The ten-year period has been overdue for two years. Somehow Not out yet.
A smile appeared on his face and he responded: "Senior Brother Li and Junior Brother Yuan and I are close friends, and I have heard their names for a long time."
"I heard that my junior brother is in retreat in the North Pole Pavilion. Today, the Purple Qi is coming from the east. When the real master issued a decree and asked me to wait here, I felt something in my heart. Sure enough, my junior brother's merits have been perfected and his elixir has reached the top grade."
"I see." Qin Dengxiao nodded, without saying any more polite words, and turned to ask: "I wonder if the master has issued a decree?"
Zhou Jun said: "I am summoning my junior brother to go to Yungong for an audience. Junior brother, please come with me."
"Good." Qin Dengxiao responded with a salute, and the two of them said goodbye to the sloppy old Taoist, and both raised their dodge lights and shot into the sky.
The old Taoist stopped where he was and said with his tongue: "Oh, as expected, the catastrophe is about to happen, and there are so many beauties." After saying that, he shook his head and was about to walk to the Arctic Pavilion. Suddenly, a chestnut knocked on Guan Jue's head, and he shouted: "Hurry up and clean the balcony. complete."
——
Zhou Jun and Qin Dengxiao were two escaping lights, one after the other, flying very fast. Suddenly, they saw a golden light in the distance that penetrated the sky and the earth, flashing in the sea of clouds. It took a long time to extinguish the light. Zhou Jun was curious and couldn't help but rush a little faster. Escape speed.
Qin Dengxiao noticed something, and immediately sent his escape skills to stay behind Zhou Jun without missing a step. The two of them escaped from the heavy clouds in just a moment, and when they came to the Yungong Palace, they saw a Taoist priest with a high crown who was talking to Zhixing Tongzi. Say goodbye, set up the auspicious clouds and leave.
"That's Uncle Han who went to the Dharma Hall?" After all, Zhou Jun has been practicing alchemy for more than ten years. He knows a lot about the high-level monks in the sect that he didn't know before. He secretly raised his brows and cast his escaping light in front of Yungong. He bowed and said, "I have seen the Zhixing boy."
Qin Dengxiao made the same bow as the ladle. Zhixing boy was not surprised by the arrival of the two men and said: "I have seen these two true disciples, please come with me."
The two of them followed the boy Zhixing into the palace. When they came to the main hall, the boy Zhixing said: "Please wait here for the two true disciples, waiting for the call of the real person."
"Oh?" Zhou Jun was slightly surprised. Naturally, it was not because he felt unhappy because he had to wait, but because the real person in charge of the teaching, the lord of the soul, had always foreseen things like a god, and arranged matters in an orderly manner. He also called people to come. It's exciting, this is the first time he's encountered it.
Their thoughts only turned around in their hearts, and they both responded in unison, then lowered their hands and waited in front of the main hall. This waiting turned out to be half a day, until the sun was about to fall into the sea of clouds, and the golden glow spread all over the sky, and then they suddenly heard the smell. A sound.
The two of them looked up and saw that the palace door was open, the clouds were escaping, and a man in white clothes slowly walked out from inside. The two of them looked very familiar, and they were suddenly surprised. They saluted respectfully and called out: "Zhou Jun." I’ve met Master Dao Miao.”
"Disciple pays homage to Master."
Xu Zhuang lowered his eyes and glanced at the two of them, nodded slightly and said, "It turns out to be Master Nephew Zhou. Congratulations to Master Nephew for refining the top-grade golden elixir. From now on, you can expect eternal life and a great path."
"..." Although Zhou Jun had not seen Xu Zhuang since he refined the golden elixir, he felt strange for no reason. He had no time to think about it, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, uncle. If there is no way for my nephew to give me some advice, my nephew may still have something to do." It takes a long time to complete your meritorious deeds."
Xu Zhuang just smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to Qin Dengxiao, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said: "Dengxiao, I already knew that you have a good foundation and a firm mind, but I don't dare to say whether I can achieve anything. Expected.”
"Today I see that your elixir has become a high-grade one. I feel very happy as a teacher. After paying homage to the headmaster brother, you can meet me at Chongyun Peak."
Qin Dengxiao was startled for a moment, and hurriedly answered yes, but Xu Zhuang knew that they were going to meet Daochen, so he didn't say much, nodded, and the two of them entered the hall, and then Shi Shiran went to the outside of Yun Gong. go.
The boy Zhixing caught up a few steps and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I'll see you off."
Xu Zhuang didn't shirk it and said, "Thank you, boy Zhixing."
After the boy Zhixing escorted him out of the gate of the Cloud Palace, the sky was already dim. Xu Zhuang was a little more energetic and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the sea of clouds in the door for a long time, but I really miss it."
The boy Zhixing smiled and said, "Senior brother has just returned from heaven. I think he needs to meditate in the door for a while."
"Haha." Xu Zhuang smiled, shook his head and said, "You don't know that the headmaster just gave me an important task."
It turns out that Xu Zhuang here is Fang's original self who returned from the Guangyuan world.
Xu Zhuang returned to the door, originally to practice with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the Huntian Palace, he was summoned by Master Daochen. He went to the main hall for a detailed discussion and learned about the plan of Nanzhan Baozhou.
Moreover, he is still in Daochen's plan and plays a very key position, but he can't shirk it if he wants to.
Xu Zhuang raised his head and glanced at the last ray of light of the sun, and suddenly smiled. People in this world just drift with the flow, even those who practice Taoism. He is not dissatisfied with contributing to the sect, but he still wants to end it as soon as possible. Thoughts on this matter.
"I'm leaving now, boy, don't leave!" Xu Zhuang shouted softly, jumped into the clouds and turned into a qi, disappearing in a moment.
Half an hour later, Zhou Jun and Qin Dengxiao left the main hall, said goodbye to Zhixing boy and headed outside the Cloud Palace.
But in the main hall, Master Daochen fell into thinking.
"Junior Brother Xu's entry is much faster than I thought."
"That being the case, if we can wait until Junior Brother Xu reaches the third level and completes the Mysterious Gong, then this plan will be truly certain."
Having said that, Master Daochen frowned slightly, and the divine wheel formed by the light gathering behind his head slowly rotated, which seemed to represent that he was deep in thought to a certain extent.
Only half a moment later, Master Dao Chen suddenly shook his head and smiled, saying to himself: "That's all, how can this be done for the leader and the senior brother?"
He moved his lips and teeth lightly and muttered something silently. Not even a moment later, a flash of light suddenly burst out, and Master Mingjing jumped out and asked, "Daochen, what did you call me for?"
Master Daochen smiled and said: "The plan has changed. I will stay within ten years..."
"Hmm." Master Daochen pinched it with his fingertips, seeming a little confused. After thinking carefully for a moment, he changed his words and said: "Ten years later, Nanzhan Baozhou will be opened."
"Oh?" Master Ming Jing said in surprise: "Don't you wait until you are fully prepared before doing this?"
Master Daochen smiled faintly and said: "There is nothing wrong with following the changes. In a few days, I will ask all the ancestors to lower their consciousness and pay attention to it and formally raise this matter."
Master Ming Jing responded: "You are the master in charge. Now that you are at the helm of the sect, I guess the ancestors will not interfere too much."
Every generation of Taisu Zhengzong's masters grew up under the eyes of the previous generation's ancestors, and even more ancestors. There is no need to doubt their character and innate nature.
After the ancestors of each generation stepped down from their sect responsibilities, they were mostly busy practicing, understanding the Tao, and increasing their Taoism. They paid much less attention to the sect's affairs, and naturally they would not easily comment on the decisions of the current leaders.
Master Daochen nodded slightly and said: "Based on the friendship between my Taisu Zhengzong and the Yuxiao sect, it would be inappropriate not to inform Yuxiao about this matter."
"Uncle Master Mingjing will still need to go to Yuxiao and his party. If Yuxiao wants to follow me, Taisu, take the first step. I can make it convenient for them. However, there is no such thing as something for nothing in this world. Yuxiao also needs a lot of help to guard the gate of the formation."
Master Ming Jing understood clearly and responded: "Don't worry, I will personally inform Empress Yuxiao about this matter. She will personally make the decision. Even if Yuxiao Sect has no such intention, the news will not be leaked."
Master Daochen smiled when he heard this and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Mingjing."
——
After leaving Yun Palace, Qin Dengxiao and Zhou Jun parted ways and went to Chongyun alone.
After descending from the top of the mountain, you will see the gate of the cave open. As you walk inside, you will feel that the appearance has changed. First, you see a white jade screen wall, and after walking around, you will find a magnificent palace, with a painted feathered beast on top. The Amyrlin Seat.
"This is..." Standing at the top of Chongyun Peak and entering through the gate of Master's cave, Qin Dengxiao was not in any danger. He was just a little surprised. As he walked into the hall, a beautiful maid suddenly walked towards him. Shen said: "I have met the young master. The master has already given instructions. Please follow me to the side hall to meet him."
Qin Dengxiao hurriedly returned the salute, and while walking with the maid, he couldn't help but ask: "Madam is very unfamiliar, could it be that she came to the mansion in the past ten years? Has the master's cave been repaired?"
The lady smiled lightly and responded: "My name is Shang'er. This is the master's magic weapon in the Duxu Palace. The young master will know in the future that this has arrived."
Qin Dengxiao had no time to ask any more questions, straightened his clothes, and followed Shang'er into the side hall. As expected, he saw that the master was already on the main seat. When he saw him entering, he nodded slightly and said: "Dengxiao, there is no need to say more." Please come and take a seat here."
Qin Dengxiao still bowed first before sitting down on the seat, but Xu Zhuang changed his words this time and said: "Twelve years ago, I knew that you would have the possibility of becoming a top-grade elixir. However, I am very happy to finally get the right result."
Xu Zhuang knew that Qin Dengxiao was confused, and he did not hesitate to explain, saying: "Dengxiao didn't know something. Before that, my master had actually been practicing outside the world, and all he had left behind was a Dharma body. It was only after he returned to the cave that he learned about what happened in recent years. .”
Even though Qin Dengxiao had reached a top-grade elixir, he still couldn't help but stare. The little ambition he had just felt was suddenly as if it had been swept away by a broom, and not a drop of it was left.
