Life-extending elixirs are not only precious, but also in short supply. Although the Jiazi Great Pill is often refined in Danxia Academy, many people stare at it every time it is refined.
Even if he was in charge of Xu Zhuangyu's order, it took most of the day for the general affairs hall to send a message to Xue Yuren to ask him to redeem the elixir.
Xue Yuren arrived on a crane, and after taking the Jiazi Great Pill, he did not return to Chongyun and flew straight to Yunmeng Daze. After a while, he saw a small island coming into view.
This island is not big, only about ten miles in radius, but it does have some scenery. A not too fast waterfall pours into a clear pool, and a rainbow can be seen above the water mist all day long. Li Changfeng and You Jin'er settled here to practice cultivation. It was given a rather elegant name, Hongxia Jingshe.
There were only a few small buildings in Hongxia Jingshe, and there were no outsiders practicing, and no Taoist boy informed them. After Xue Yuren dropped the talisman, about half an hour later, Li Changfeng came out in person.
In fact, the two of them have not seen each other for some years. Xue Yuren's appearance has not changed, but Li Changfeng has changed drastically.
He was nearing the end of his life, and although he was a Taoist cultivator, he looked a bit rotten. His Taoist robe was a bit too wide, which made him look rather thin.
"It turns out to be Madam Xue." Li Changfeng bowed, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and now you suddenly come here. Could it be that..."
Li Changfeng's expression moved slightly, his mood seemed to be rising, and he asked, "Master is out of seclusion?"
"Exactly." Xue Yuren raised her hand and handed it over, revealing a pill bottle and said: "This is what the master specially ordered me to send."
"Is this the Jiazi Great Pill?" Li Changfeng took the pill bottle, couldn't help but look slightly moved, and asked: "Is the teacher still in the house?"
Xue Yuren shook her head, and without waiting for Li Changfeng to be disappointed, she said again: "I still have something to say to you."
Li Changfeng's face became solemn, he cupped his hands and said, "Madam, please speak."
Xue Yuren actually sighed slightly and said: "Since your mind is not strong, why bother to be stubborn and unrepentant? Instead of looking forward and backward, don't waste time anymore."
"Take the Jiazi Great Pill and condense it into a middle-grade golden pill before you meet the master."
Li Changfeng was stunned.
Xue Yuren also guessed that he must be disappointed. After finishing his words, he smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first."
After saying this, he got on the crane. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Li Changfeng say: "Madam, wait a moment."
Xue Yuren looked back, and Li Changfeng quickly caught up and handed the elixir bottle back to her hand, saying: "Madam, please take back this elixir."
"Why?" Xue Yuren couldn't help but ask with some confusion in Gujing Wubo's eyes.
Li Changfeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "For three hundred years, I have been asking for a chance to get a high-quality golden elixir, but no chance. Everyone in the family said that Li Changfeng has a strong Taoist heart."
"But what about the facts?" Li Changfeng cupped his hands towards the empty space and said: "Master is my Taisu Zhengzong, a Taoist who is famous in China and shocked the past and the present. He will definitely achieve greatness in the future and will be the founder of the Jin Dynasty. I never doubted that."
"As a disciple of my mentor, how can I be willing to be the withered bones in the grave and a common person?"
"Junior brother Yuan grew up under my care, how could I not lead by example and lead by example?"
Of course, Yuan Hao has now chosen the Six Seal Golden Pill, but he no longer needs an example to guide him to the Tao.
"Junior Brother Qin came to the sect later, but his talents and blessings are better than mine. He has become a top-grade elixir long ago, and is now famous in the Divine Continent. I am an elder brother, how can I be willing to live in a lower class?"
"I Jin'er..." At this point, Li Changfeng's face showed a smile, but also seemed to have a hint of sadness, and sighed: "I, Jin'er, am the disciple of Zhenjun, the true disciple of Taixuan. If I can't reach the top level of elixir, what will happen to me?" How can I get on board?"
"There seem to be too many reasons that force me to be firm, but they also make me trapped in a cage without even realizing it."
Li Changfeng looked up at the white clouds and said in an incomprehensible tone: "But in fact, I, Li Changfeng, initially set out on the road for immortality, to rejoice in learning swordsmanship and Taoism, to seek mentors and accept disciples to hear the supreme swordsmanship, and for the sake of learning the supreme swordsmanship. The ambition to achieve greatness leads to the desire for excellence..."
"I am also a person who seeks the Tao. I cultivate the Tao for myself. Why should I seek trouble for myself?"
Xue Yuren listened quietly and suddenly had a premonition of what he said.
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Changfeng turned his eyes back, showing a firm look, and said slowly: "Madam, please come back. Changfeng has understood his true intentions. If he cannot achieve the top-grade golden elixir, he will die without regrets."
Xue Yuren said: "In this case, I will have more time to get it by extending my life for a long time. I'm sure I won't blame you."
"No." Li Changfeng gave a long laugh. At this moment, he seemed to be glowing with brilliance. He cupped his hands and said, "If you advance, you will succeed. If you retreat, you will die. If you don't do this, you will never look back. I have made up my mind. Madam, please come."
After saying this, without waiting for Xue Yuren to respond, Li Changfeng folded his body and slowly returned to the small building.
You Jin'er was sitting alone by the pool with her pipa in her arms. Suddenly she looked back and whispered: "Mr. Lang..."
"Madam." Li Changfeng sighed: "I have seen the golden elixir avenue."
You Jin'er was silent. She knew that Li Changfeng might have indeed found the opportunity to achieve a high-grade golden elixir, but refining the elixir was not purely based on fate. Basic skills were equally important.
When Li Changfeng was in his prime, he had excellent skills and perfect Taoist foundations, and it was no problem to refine the method and condense elixirs. However, now that he is nearing the end of his life, his energy and spirit have declined a lot. Even if he seeks the opportunity to be top-notch, he will probably fall short in the end. ending.
Li Changfeng's so-called determination to never look back was actually prepared to die in the morning and evening!
Therefore, You Jin'er knew that he had nothing to say at this time, so he just stepped forward and said softly: "Congratulations to Mr. Lang."
Li Changfeng nodded, took You Jin'er's hand and shook it, looking at her and smiling.
"When will Lang Jun retreat?"
Li Changfeng said: "Time waits for me not to wait, I will enter the customs today."
You Jin'er nodded lightly and responded: "After Lang Jun enters the customs, I will return to the sect."
Li Changfeng tightened his grip. You Jin'er was the true successor of Taixuanzong. Although he was married to Li Changfeng, they still often traveled between the two parties.
But today is different from the past, and this may be the last time you see Jin'er.
However, as You Jin'er said, there is nothing better than being together on the road of greatness. Two thousand years can be considered a long time together. No matter how unfavorable it is, being together for two hundred years is still a pleasure.
During these days, the two of them had already made sufficient preparations, and there were thousands of words left unsaid.
"That's fine." Li Changfeng nodded slowly, but he didn't know that a look of determination flashed in You Jin'er's eyes.
——
"Although the clouds are of the same substance, the air is the same as the body and separated from each other. It extends its neck and sings separately. It can be turned over and combined with its feathers. One wing and one eye can fly when they meet each other."
At this time, Xu Zhuang was already tens of thousands of miles away. As he was fleeing, he suddenly saw a green and red bird flying by, which looked like a grunt. He couldn't help but be surprised.
The biwing bird is an ancient spiritual beast that has not been seen in the Xuanhuang Realm for a long time. Could it be that it came from Nanzhan Baozhou?
Xu Zhuang didn't think much about it. He just changed his mind and smiled slightly: "The divine birds fly together, and they are lucky when they see them. It seems that the trip is going well." Then his clothes and sleeves fluttered, and his escape speed became a little faster.
Not long after, he heard a loud crashing sound from the sky. Xu Zhuang's heart was moved. He looked down from the clouds and saw an extremely broad and surging river flowing from east to west.
This is the Tongtian River that separates Beiming Continent and Dongsheng Continent. With Xu Zhuang's eyesight, he can only see the faint outline of the other bank, which shows how vast the Tongtian River is.
Such a water flow, like a celestial body, has almost cut off the possibility of mortals, even low-level monks, to reach the Tianhe River. Coupled with the bitter cold and barrenness, it is no wonder that Beimingzhou is a barren land.
It is said that Xu Zhuang has been to Tianwai, even as far as Guangyuan, and to the east and west of Xuanhuang, but he has not been to Beimingzhou yet.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry. He took some time to watch it, and felt that the heaviness caused by long-term seclusion had washed away.
Just as he was about to set off to enter Beiming, Xu Zhuang suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw a sword rainbow appearing from the lower reaches of the Tongtian River and rushing along the river. He saw Xu Zhuang standing in mid-air. It was actually a sound transmission. , shouted: "The Taoist in front should leave quickly."
Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, knowing that there was no malice in this man's words, but a desire to protect each other. Looking into the distance again, he saw a demonic cloud rolling in, much faster than the sword rainbow. There was a tendency to arrive first, and in the blink of an eye both of them arrived near Xuzhuang.
When Jianhong saw that Xu Zhuang was motionless, he couldn't help but urged: "Is that Taoist ignorant and fearless? This demon is Sui Ji of the Demonic Intent Sect..."
In the middle of his words, he seemed to realize that it was too late, and actually said: "This person is one of the six evils of the Demon Sect, and his magical power is of no small importance. Join forces with me to force him back."
Xu Zhuang stood there, looking at the immortal demeanor, but he definitely didn't look like a demon, so Jian Hong actually had the idea of joining forces with him.
"Sui Ji?" Xu Zhuang's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't expect to meet one of the six evils of the Demon Sect here, and he couldn't help but feel a little interested.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the demonic cloud, or the demonic intention sect Sui Ji's incoming force suddenly stopped, and a voice of surprise and suspicion came out: "Xu Zhuang!"
Xu Zhuang! The man in the sword rainbow was startled, then overjoyed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the demonic cloud rolling back toward the lower reaches of the Tongtian River. Sui Ji and Xu Zhuang met each other fiercely, and fled without saying a word.
Xu Zhuang frowned. Seeing that this man was as afraid of him as a tiger, he lost interest in chasing him. On the contrary, the sword rainbow in the sky circled around and suddenly fell down.
I saw a monk with a sword in his bun, his hair tied up with a silver ring, appeared. He took a closer look at Xu Zhuang, and seemed to have some comparison. Then he clasped his hands and bowed, saying: "No. I think it is really Dao Miaozi who is in front of Su Xinghe of Xia Beiming Sword Sect, please bear with me if I am rude."
"Oh? It turns out he is a high disciple of the Beiming Sword Sect." Xu Zhuang returned the gift and said, "You are so polite, fellow Taoist. I wonder why you are here to practice fighting with demons?"
Su Xinghe shook his head and said: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know. Recently, the Demonic Intent Sect has been taking aggressive actions within the jurisdiction of our Sword Sect, causing a lot of trouble."
"I was ordered to pursue the demon cultivator for a long time, and then by chance, I discovered the conspiracy..."
Su Xinghe did not go into details, but Xu Zhuang saw that his face was expressionless, but he was actually seriously injured, and he was being chased by Sui Ji. The danger must not be that simple.
"Had Taoist fellow Taoist not retreated Sui Ji, Su might have escaped death." Su Xinghe cupped his hand again and asked: "I still need to rush back to the sect as soon as possible. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite fellow Taoist to be a guest in the sect. In this way It’s a good idea to express my gratitude.”
In fact, Xu Zhuang didn't take action, but he had nothing to bear from Su Xinghe's gratitude. He just said: "Fellow Taoist, although I'm on my way, Xu also has important things to attend to. It's not too late to bring up the matter of our visit as a guest. "
Su Xinghe pondered and said: "Excuse me, I wonder what your important mission is? I am familiar with Beiming and may be able to give you some help."
Xu Zhuang knew that he might have a desire to repay him, so he had nothing to say about it, so he responded: "I will go to the Arctic Xuanbing Pavilion to visit him."
"Oh?" Su Xinghe thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Taoist, you know that the gate of Xuanbing Pavilion is not very easy to find."
Xu Zhuang has a heavy responsibility, so he naturally understands it, but in his opinion, these are just the last minute, and he will have his own way when he reaches the realm.
Su Xinghe turned over his hand, took out a cloth bag, and said: "This bag contains a spirit bird that our Beiming Sword Sect uses to communicate with Xuanbing Pavilion. It should help fellow Taoists save this little trouble."
"It's just a small thank you, fellow Taoist, please don't refuse."
This was indeed not a generous gift. Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, then thanked Su Xinghe and took the spirit beast bag.
Seeing this, Su Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to clasp his fists and say goodbye, he heard Xu Zhuangyan say, "Fellow Taoist, wait a moment."
Seeing Xu Zhuang put his hand into his sleeve, Su Xinghe's spiritual consciousness suddenly felt something. He raised his mind for a moment, but when he reached out his hand again, only a round tutu appeared on his fingertips, like an elixir. But it is as transparent as glass, with black and white qi looming in it.
"This is a gift to fellow Taoists, please do not refuse it."
Xu Zhuangzhiyan seemed to be the same as Su Xinghe. He hesitated a little, but still took it into his hand, took a closer look, and said to himself: "Yin Yang Yuan Jing? But there are some differences."
But Xu Zhuang didn't explain much. He just smiled and said, "Xu still has to rush to the North Pole, so this is the first step."
Before Su Xinghe put away the Yin and Yang Yuan Jing, he hurriedly raised his hand to return the gift, and then he saw Xu Zhuang's figure suddenly turned into a flying cloud and rushed towards the other side of the Tongtian River.
"The No. 1 Master of Xuanmen?" Su Xinghe played with the Yin-Yang Essence with his fingertips, doubts appeared in his eyes, and he said to himself: "How strange."
For some reason, this Dao Miaozi gave him an unpredictable feeling, as if he was facing the ancestor of the sect. However, Xu Zhuang did not hide his aura, but he was undoubtedly a Nascent Soul monk.
"That's all, it's better to rush back to the sect as soon as possible." Su Xinghe suppressed his distracting thoughts, raised his sword light, and went up the river again.
As the Tongtian River went upstream, the water became more and more turbulent. After traveling for thousands of miles, it was already rushing like a torrent every moment.
However, this also meant that we were much closer to the gate of Beiming Sword Sect. However, before he could let go of his breath, Su Xinghe's eyes suddenly condensed.
I saw an ebony tree lying on the surface of the river, and a young man with disheveled hair was already standing on it. He said with a ferocious smile: "Su Xinghe, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Hand over the Six-Eyed Demon Lord's soul, otherwise you will die." .”
Su Xinghe frowned. He was naturally not afraid. The cultivation level of the person in front of him was only about the same as his. It was from this person that he took away the object planned by the Demonic Intention Sect.
But that time was different from this time. He broke up the Demonic Intention Sect's plan and actually attracted the Yuan Zhuo Sui Ji who beat him seriously. Although Sui Ji was frightened by Xu Zhuang and retreated, he was injured now, so he could fight with him again. This person's life and death are unpredictable when it comes to fighting.
Su Xinghe's mind turned quickly, trying to find a way to escape. Suddenly he was startled and saw something on his fingertips.
He unexpectedly failed to put away the yin and yang essence by some strange mistake. At this moment, he suddenly realized something.
"That's how it is... Dao Miaozi is really unpredictable. Could it be that he has really achieved Yuan Shen and has the ability to know the past and the future?"
Su Xinghe moved the yin and yang essence again with his fingertips, and then suddenly flicked it.
I saw the two qi of Yin and Yang changing violently in an instant, turning into a jet-black thunder light, striking towards the Tongtian River. In an instant, everything in it, including the flowing water, seemed to be broken, and cracks spread.
All of them will be destroyed in the next moment!
