"in this case."
After listening to Jin Yuanzai's narration, Xu Zhuang thought about it carefully. There seemed to be travel notes from his predecessors that recorded the grand occasion of the Taiyi Immortal Conference, and he suddenly became a little interested.
His current practice lacks Yuan Qi, so he would like to travel to the outer world. He can witness the Taoist grand gathering where the immortals come to court, and perhaps taste the Taiyi Immortal True Spirit. What would he not enjoy?
But having said that, Xu Zhuang did not rush to answer, but asked Zhong Shenxiu: "Brother Zhong has already accepted the invitation of the Taiyi Immortal Conference?"
"That's right." Zhong Shenxiu said with a faint smile: "The Taiyi Immortal Tournament is a world-famous event that only happens once every thousand years. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"
"This is exactly the reason." Xu Zhuang nodded, but said: "But there is still something I don't know."
Jin Yuanzai said: "Fellow Taoist, that's what you say."
Xu Zhuang said: "Although your sect has a broad mind and is open to all rivers, but now that the Taiyi Immortal Conference is known as the coming of all immortals, can no one be allowed to attend the conference?"
"Oh?" Jin Yuanzai raised his eyebrows. He also understood the meaning of Xu Zhuang's words, so he put down the precious tea that had reached his lips and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to hide it from Brother Xu. Although our Dou Su Department is the fourth palace, One of the five groups, but Jin has only recently cultivated his soul, so he really couldn’t invite many friends to the meeting.”
"But there is a big event happening in our Dou Su Department now, which has absorbed the energy of many senior people in the Dou Su Department. Not to mention inviting friends, I may not have time to attend the meeting."
"So Jin, a newly promoted junior, may be one of the few people in the department who will go to the Taiyi Immortal Conference. It is natural to invite a few colleagues."
Jin Yuanzai shook his head and smiled, and said: "If the senior officials in the ministry really can't spare the time to attend the meeting, maybe Jin can invite Brother Zhong and Brother Xu to attend the meeting."
As soon as Jin Yuan said these words, Taiyi boy's eyes suddenly lit up. Although Hunyuan boy didn't show up, he couldn't help but make some movements. He whispered to Xu Zhuang and said: "Taiyi Xianzhen, I read the records ten thousand years ago, so it should be It’s quite extraordinary.”
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, but although Jin Yuan didn't show it on his face, there seemed to be a hint of worry in his words. Perhaps the important matter of Dou Su Department was indeed very important.
So he did not mention this issue, but changed the topic and said: "This is a blessing for Brother Tuojin. If you go on this trip, you will have the opportunity to become a first-grade Taiyi Immortal."
This was agreed, Jin Yuanzai laughed and said: "It turns out that Jin is Brother Xu's fate."
Xu Zhuang smiled, waved his hand, and asked, "I wonder how long it will be until the conference starts, and when will we leave?"
Unexpectedly, Jin Yuanzai actually said: "If Brother Xu is ready, we can leave at any time."
"Before I rush back to Dongtian, I will go to the Blue Sky Realm and invite another real person to accompany me."
"oh?"
"Brother Xu, don't worry." Zhong Shenxiu said with a smile, "Brother Jin and I just met with Master Daochen and we already talked about this matter."
Xu Zhuang raised his brows slightly and said thoughtfully: "In that case, you can leave after I have arranged the matters in the house."
Zhong Shenxiu and Jin Yuanzai nodded slightly and said in unison: "Good."
…
They made an agreement with the two of them that Zhong Shenxiu and Jin Yuan would not stay in Taisumen longer and wait outside.
There was only one person left in the mansion, Xuzhuang. Soon he called Xue Yuren and asked her to look after the mansion. After explaining a few things in detail, he said in a deep voice: "Call the boy under the peak to see me."
Xue Yuren's eyes moved slightly. Half a month ago, Xu Zhi arrived at Chongyun Peak for the first time and wanted to visit Xu Zhuang. She also heard about Xu Zhi's identity, so she conveyed the news on his behalf, but she didn't expect that Xu Zhuang just ordered him to Waiting until today to be summoned.
However, Xu Zhuang had his own considerations and did not need her to comment. Xue Yu said so. After a while, a calm voice came from outside the house, saying: "Disciple Xu Zhi, please see the real person."
"Disciple?" Xu Zhuang nodded thoughtfully, and without making him wait too long, he sent a message: "Come in."
In response, a young Taoist with a calm expression walked into the hall. He was in his thirties and handsome in appearance. If you look closely, he was somewhat similar to Xu Zhuang, but he was not as high-spirited as him.
In addition, Xu Zhi wore a bamboo hairpin, a wide robe, and a crane cloak. This was the first time in a hundred years that Xu Zhuang saw Xu Zhi. Seeing that he was dressed the same as when he was young, he actually I can't help but feel a little emotional.
As soon as Xu Zhi entered the hall, he prostrated himself on the ground and said politely: "Meet the real person."
Xu Zhuang stood up with a thought and asked calmly: "Xu Zhi, since you are holding the jade bamboo to worship at the door, why did you come to see me now?"
Xu Zhi had expected it early and responded in a deep voice: "Back to Master, this disciple is not directly from the same lineage. Being able to worship in the sect is already due to the shadow of Master, so I don't dare to bother you more."
Xu Zhuang said: "Really? Then you came to visit me today. Don't you have nothing to ask for?"
Xu Zhi was a little unable to react in time, and after thinking for a few times, he said: "Yes, this disciple does have something to ask for."
Xu Zhuang didn't speak again, Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and continued: "This disciple has won the first place in the sect's competition five times in a row, and has won countless rewards. All of them have benefited his body. There is no progress in his achievements, and he has never been able to find the top grade." The golden elixir opportunity.”
He suddenly pulled out the jade bamboo on the top, held it up with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "This disciple does not want to give up asking for the middle-grade golden elixir. He wants to go to the Xihai Immortal Mansion to gamble, but he is afraid that his cultivation will not be good enough, so he has the idea and dares to do so. Please ask the real person to give me the means to protect the Tao."
"Xihai Immortal Mansion?" Xu Zhuang thought for a moment and realized that the so-called Xihai Immortal Mansion was the ancient Xisu Daozang that reappeared due to the landfall of Taixuanzhou in Xisu.
Taixuanzhou has always accepted casual cultivators. Due to the magnanimity of Taixuanzong, it is not uncommon to take all the data of these Taoist treasures as its own. This has attracted many monks to go looking for opportunities. Now, even the three sects, six sects, and even the four major demon sects The disciples all went to Xisu to practice.
However, in Xu Zhuang's view, the fundamental problem facing Xu Zhi is not some chance of immortality, but a kind of restraint rooted deep in his nature.
Because he was born as a commoner and held the jade bamboo in his hand, he did not dare to visit Xu Zhuang for fear of being disliked. He was obviously very committed to the Tao, practiced diligently, and was very good at fighting. He had achieved good results in several competitions and five competitions in his life. The leader, who has been rewarded by countless sects, has pushed his merits to perfection, but because of his poor qualifications, he still has no determination to obtain the golden elixir...
However, such a person still has the desire to refine the high-grade golden elixir. This shows that the composition of a person's mind is actually very complicated and difficult to fathom.
Because of this, it is so difficult to cultivate high-grade golden elixirs or even real Yuanshen talents. Just like Xu Zhuang now, perhaps one word can reveal the problem of Xu Zhi, but it is difficult to predict whether it will be good or bad for him.
"Put it away." Xu Zhuang said calmly: "I left the jade bamboo so that you can use it to ask for rewards from me?"
Xu Zhi felt a sense of loss and kowtowed, saying, "Disciples don't dare."
However, before he could lean down any longer, he saw Xu Zhuang casually take out a small silver sword from his bun and said: "Give me a golden sword of great destruction and an external elixir to protect the way. "
Before Xu Zhi could be overjoyed, Xu Zhuang's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on him, "Step back. If you come to visit again, you need to think carefully."
Xu Zhi's heart tightened, and he quickly kowtowed and said he knew, took the Geng Golden Sword of Great Destruction and the decree of extracting the outer elixir, and then slowly stood up, bowed and retreated.
After Xu Zhi disappeared outside the cave, Xu Zhuang still looked calm and thought for a while, then suddenly called out: "Hong'er."
The Taiyi Rainbow Sword connected with his mind, and immediately jumped out from the gourd, and suddenly pierced Xuzhuang's bun, and immediately stopped moving, so the sword hairpin on Xu Zhuang's bun was replaced with a half-foot-long hairpin. I do a rainbow of light.
"This can be considered as a true cultivation spirit." Xu Zhuang originally just had a whim, but now he feels quite satisfied, and the Taiyi Rainbow Sword also expresses joy.
The vermilion gourd Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword has long been out of habit, and Xu Zhuang no longer needs to use it to collect the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword. It is just a matter of habit...
However, this was a bit flamboyant. The Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword sensed Xu Zhuang's intentions and quickly collected his aura. She was proficient in Xu Zhuang's swordsmanship and was also good at hiding his aura. In the blink of an eye, the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword changed from its true form. The magic weapon turned into a rainbow light that looked rather strange.
"That's right." Xu Zhuang nodded secretly. As soon as his thoughts came to his mind, a dharma body came out of his body. He took the seal of the Lord of the Shangfa Palace and the Huanyuan Yizhen Pill, and disappeared into the void in a leap. Control the evolution of the cave.
After doing this, Xu Zhuang did not hesitate anymore, flicked his sleeves, and turned into mist and penetrated the mountain.
"The Blue Sky Realm, I wonder what it looks like?"
…
The Blue Sky Realm lives up to its name. Not only does the sky appear azure during the day, but it also looks like an indigo brilliance from the outside.
Xu Zhuang looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "There are so many different spiritual energy machines..."
It's not that there are more real Yuanshen in the Blue Sky Realm than Xuanhuang, but from the perception, there are actually many real Yuanshen Qi in the Blue Sky Realm that penetrate directly from the sky, unscrupulously drawing inspiration from the void.
"The Blue Sky Realm is slightly wider than Xuanhuang, with six continents and four seas in total. However, the overall spiritual intelligence is not as good as Xuanhuang's, and the sect's power is not as strong as my Xuanhuang. However, it is not uncommon to see scattered Daoist disciples." Zhong Shenxiu said.
He and Jin Yuanzai have both been to the Blue Sky Realm, and they are quite familiar with the situation in this realm.
"That's it." During the conversation, the three of them had broken into the blue sky world. Xu Zhuangyuan was familiar with the world and compared it with the records in the door, and he suddenly understood a little more.
"The pattern of the Qingkong Realm is balanced. In addition to the major sects, Xuanmo each has an authentic sect. The Xuanmen is the Lingbao Sect and the Demonic Sect is the Taiyi Sect." Zhong Shenxiu said: "It is said that in ancient times, there was a catastrophe in the Taiyi Sect. Dharma, but later the inheritance was cut off for unknown reasons.”
"Oh? Could it be that the Innate Demon Sect is related to Taiyi Sect?" Xu Zhuang said thoughtfully.
"There is no way to verify this." Zhong Shenxiu shook his head.
While the three of them were talking, they had arrived on a continent. Among the six continents and four seas, this one was quite narrow compared to the other continents, and had worse intelligence. It seemed that there was no atmosphere of a big sect, but there were scattered... There are few real qi machines scattered around.
"This is Luyuanzhou, where Taoist friend Cen and his master practice." Jin Yuan pointed his finger and said with a smile: "To be honest, the master I want to invite on this trip is none other than Taoist friend Cen's master. Qing Yuanzi is the real person."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang raised his brows slightly and couldn't help but glance at Zhong Shenxiu. Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and said: "It is said that thousands of years ago, several of my ancestors in Xuanzong wanted to open a village in Luyuanzhou. Beppu.”
"But the reaction of the sects in the Blue Sky Realm was huge. Even several major Xuanma sects temporarily suppressed their conflicts and unanimously resisted my preaching in the Blue Sky Realm, which led to a big war. Even though the two sides had converged, they were still Half of the continent collapsed and countless spiritual veins were destroyed."
"In the end, this matter even led to a confrontation with Master Yang Zhen, so we had to let it go."
Taoist Yang Zhen, who has survived three disasters and is a figure under Pure Yang, if they really fight, it will be a real sectarian conflict.
Jin Yuanzai was slightly startled, but in fact, in the eyes of Master Yuanshen, the traces of Lu Yuanzhou's destruction due to the magic power struggle of the great supernatural powers were very obvious, but he did not expect that there was such a reason.
The Eastern Heaven Realm was far away from Qingkong Xuanhuang, and for some reason, the exchanges were infrequent. After thinking about it for a while, he still led the two of them to Luyuan Continent without asking, and not long after, they arrived at a land of thousands of peaks. Out of the sky, it looks like a strange mountain range in a forest of swords.
Xu Zhuang followed Jin Yuan and stopped his escape technique. His expression moved as he saw a green sword light rising into the sky. When it whirled in the sky, Cen Fenghong appeared. He first raised his hands, but his expression remained stunned.
"Brother Zhong, Brother Xu..." He raised his hand and put it down, then suddenly shook his head and smiled, "Brother Jin has already given me a big blow in refining his soul, so why are you doing the same?"
Although the three of them did not cover it up deliberately, nor did they fully unfold their auras, they were still dazzling in the eyes of Cen Fenghong, who had already mastered the third level.
Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Zhuang looked at each other, and after a few thoughts, they still didn't offer any words of comfort, and just said: "It's just a fluke."
"You two don't have to worry about me. You are such geniuses in cultivation, but I can't compare with you." Cen Fenghong waved his hand, but he didn't show any restraint and said with a carefree smile: "Teacher, I sensed the arrival of several people and have been waiting for a long time. Please."
"Good." The three of them said in unison, and followed Cen Fenghong to the top of a not-so-prominent Sword Peak, where they met the master Qing Yuanzi whom they had heard about for a long time.
Qing Yuanzi was in his forties, with three locks of clear beard. He was holding a gourd in his hand that was probably the size of three palms. He was pouring jade liquid into his mouth. He looked happy and unrestrained. He looked more like wine than a high-ranking cultivator famous for his swords. Zhongxianren.
Cen Fenghong led the three of them to this place. Jin Yuanzai clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Senior's elegance has not diminished."
Qing Yuanzi pressed the wine gourd, stroked his long beard with his hand, and said with a smile: "Since I have been practicing Taoism, one pot a day has become a habit, but I can never stop."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes had already fallen on Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Zhuang. He glanced back and forth, and his eyes suddenly showed slight surprise. He raised his hands and asked, "Who are these two little friends?"
At this moment, Xu Zhuang felt a sense of being seen through for the first time in a long time, and he felt a little surprised in his heart.
This Master Qing Yuanzi seems to have a looming purity of having survived a disaster. He may have already passed through a disaster.
