early morning.
Everything was silent.
A trace of light appeared on the eastern horizon, carefully infiltrating the light blue sky.
When the first ray of morning light penetrated the mist, Yu Yuan came out of Qianyuan Palace with a yawn.
People use sleep to recharge their energy and nourish their souls.
Good thing for him, he gets sleepier and sleepier!
But he liked the feeling of not having to think about anything while sleeping.
So even though there is no need for sleep, he occasionally chooses to have a dream after taking a bath at night.
The morning light shone slantly on the flowerbed in front of the palace gate, and the colorful flowers bloomed in an instant.
Yu Yuan reached out and took out a jade bottle from the air, opened his mouth and drank most of the spiritual spring in the bottle, then raised his head and said "hahahaha" for a while, and then puffed out his cheeks and spurted out the spiritual spring.
The immortal's body is dust-free, clean and flawless, and does not need to be washed at all.
This is also one of the habits he inherited from his previous life.
The water from the spiritual spring spurted out from his mouth, turning into a fine and moist mist that slowly covered the flowerbed in front of the door.
Vaguely visible, a group of little people were dancing and playing on the branches among the flowers, delighted with the "rainfall from the sky".
The little people on the flower branches are only as tall as a little finger. They are slender and beautiful. They are all wearing colorful dresses, singing and dancing, celebrating happily.
"Heh~"
A smile appeared on Yu Yuan's face, and his sleepiness subsided.
He stuffed the jade bottle back into the invisible pocket in the air, then took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at Shou Jingguan beside him.
Wen Zhong was still sitting in front of the door, with his head hunched over, leaning against Dang Kang's body and falling asleep.
Since he "missed Master's lecture" a few days ago, he has been sitting cross-legged at the door, staying awake day and night to prevent the "tragedy" from happening again.
But after all, he was just a young man with a mortal body, so how could he stay awake all this time?
Yu Yuan smiled secretly in his heart and did not wake him up.
However, Dang Kang noticed his gaze and trembled with fear like chaff, causing Wen Zhong to murmur dissatisfiedly and reach out to pat the "pillow".
But the "pillow" was shaking more and more, causing him to wake up suddenly.
"What's wrong...Did the Earth Dragon turn over?"
Wen Zhong woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and looked around.
The next moment, his three eyes suddenly opened wide and stared straight in the direction of Qianyuan Palace.
That extravagant and magnificent fairy palace has disappeared!
How is this going?
Wen Zhong rubbed his eyes vigorously, but his eyes were still empty, with only the colorful flowerbed remaining in place.
Could it be that...senior brother, he really ran away?
…
Above the East China Sea, a huge land-like fairy island loomed in the morning light.
The ancient trees on Xiandao reach the sky, silver waterfalls hang in the mountains, rainbows hang high in the sky, yellow cranes line up in rows, and blue luan's flutter their wings.
There are auspicious beasts hidden in the mountains, and unicorns are lying on the cliffs.
The haze condenses with auspicious mist, and the sun and moon emit auspicious light.
The green pines and cypresses are evergreen, the strange grasses and jade flowers never fade, the peaches and fairy fruits are like golden elixirs, and the green poplars and willows are like jade threads.
The immortal energy circulates and the divine brilliance is immeasurable.
Countless immortal palaces surrounded by divine light are scattered throughout the island.
Everything is like a mirage.
Yu Yuan stepped on a white cloud and floated there, wandering into the fairyland of Jin'ao Island.
Along the way, he also bumped into many Jiejiao Immortals.
It's just that there are too many members of the Jiejiao sect, and they are all scattered in various places, and they are not familiar with each other.
"finally reached……"
It is vast and vast.
Penglai Holy Land was adjacent to Jin'ao Island, but it took him more than an hour to get there.
This is also the reason why he wants to take the Ark of the Curved Realm.
If we rely on ourselves to drive the clouds to Beiju Luzhou, it will take at least three to five years.
The Qujing Ark is an important tool for intercepting teachings, and is overseen by the Ten Heavenly Lords. The entrance is also located on Tianjue Peak, the dojo of Qin Wantianjun, the head of the Ten Heavenly Lords.
When Yu Yuan rode the clouds to Tianjue Peak, hundreds of figures had already gathered here.
Looking from a distance, one by one Jiejiao Immortals wearing Taoist robes and fairy skirts were chatting and laughing here. It was rare that they had any strange appearance.
Although it is said that Jiejiao accepts disciples from all backgrounds and origins, as early as ancient times, the aesthetics of the prehistoric immortal gods have been closer to the "innate Taoist body". Therefore, the prehistoric immortal gods only have the ability to transform. All of them would create an innate Taoist body for themselves.
The so-called innate Tao body is, to put it more complicated, a short-term body, and to put it simply, it is a human form.
Therefore, although the Jie Jiao Immortal has strange and strange origins, at a glance, they all look like humans.
All of them look like immortals with outstanding appearance.
Of course, no matter what they look like, they are still old monsters who have lived for many years.
When Yu Yuan glanced at the group of Jie Jiao Immortals, he was also being looked at and scrutinized.
"Who is that person? Why have I never seen him before?"
"Looking at the mysterious light looming above his head, he should be a high-level Xuanxian. He must be a new disciple of some senior brother."
"Well, in recent years, there have been a lot more third-generation disciples in my sect. I guess there are more than 10,000 immortals and gods in my sect, right?"
"Isn't that right? Now my Jiejiao is well-deserved to be the largest sect in the world!"
"When it comes to third-generation disciples, even those taught by our outer sects are not good. The truly powerful ones are the inner disciples who practice in Penglai Holy Realm."
"What you want to talk about is the Yu Yuan who made a big fuss on Kowloon Island a few days ago, right?"
"Yes, that's him! I heard that he has only been a disciple for more than a thousand years, and now he has been able to bring Zhou Xin and Li Qi back to their original forms..."
"Zhou Xin and Li Qi seem to have become top-grade immortals, right? Were they really beaten by Yu Yuan?"
"This matter has been spread among the outer gates for a long time. How can it be false?"
"What if he is an inner disciple... Look at the one who passed by just now. He is only a top-level Xuanxian, but there is a huge gap between him and Yu Yuan!"
…
The whispers were caught by Yu Yuan inadvertently. He seemed unaware. With a warm smile on his face, he went to bow to Yao Tianjun who was on duty and stated his destination clearly.
Yao Tianjun smiled and nodded: "Junior nephew, please wait for a moment. There are several junior brothers who are going to Qingqiu Mountain today, and you just happen to be together."
Although Yu Yuan rarely appeared in front of the outer disciples, he often traveled to various places in the wilderness through Qujing Ark for a period of time, so all ten heavenly kings responsible for guarding Qujing Ark knew him.
But it's just acquaintance, not very familiar.
After thanking him, Yu Yuan found a corner and puffed away quietly.
The Qujing Ark costs a lot of money to open every time. In order to avoid waste, it usually only opens when at least five Jiejiao disciples go to the same place.
Because Beiju Luzhou is a dangerous place full of poisonous miasma, Yu Yuan estimated that no one would go there, so he chose Qingqiu Mountain as his target.
In addition to the nine-tailed fox, Qingqiu Mountain is also rich in lapis lazuli, red sun jade and so on.
These are indispensable spiritual objects when refining weapons, and the immortals in Jiejiao often go to collect them.
The most important thing is that Qingqiu Mountain is in the northeast of Nanfanbuzhou, and is only separated from Beijuluzhou by a strait.
From there, it only takes ten days and a half to reach Beiju Luzhou.
Just as Yu Yuan expected, there were quite a few Jiejiao Immortals who went to Qingqiu Mountain, and they quickly gathered seven or eight people.
Yao Tianjun, who was in charge of Qujing Ark, estimated that everyone who should come has arrived, so he called out: "If you want to go to Qingqiu Mountain, quickly enter the formation, and you can set off after burning a stick of incense."
Yu Yuan was not in a hurry. When the cigarette became hot to his hands, he took the cigarette butt in his palm and crushed it into fly ash, then walked unsteadily towards the formation.
There were already several Jie Jiao Immortals in the formation sitting cross-legged on the ground, waiting.
Seeing Yu Yuan come in, all the immortals looked at him. One of them, the slim and horse-faced Jie Jiao Immortal, smelled the poisonous aura remaining on his body. He immediately frowned and said in a cold voice: "Just stand there and say goodbye. I'm too close."
There are people who practice all kinds of magical powers among Jie Jiao. Obviously, this Jie Jiao Immortal regards him as someone who cultivates the art of Wenhuang.
Yu Yuan didn't care, he took out another cigarette carelessly and looked around at the immortals, "Uncles, do you want to try it? It tastes very good."
"No, no."
The immortals shook their heads repeatedly, saying that they couldn't stand this thing.
At this time, Yao Tianjun's voice came from outside the formation, "Junior brother Lu Yue, are you going to Qingqiu Mountain too?"
Lu Yue?
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, thinking it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
He raised his eyes and saw a Jie Jiao Immortal descending from the sky on a green cloud and landed in front of Yao Tianjun.
This man looked thin, short and skinny, with a stooped body. He was wearing a bright red robe, his pale face was covered with wrinkles, and he was holding a white and shiny bone staff in his right hand. The tips of his fingers were black and glowing. The faint green light seemed to be soaked in venom all year round.
Judging from the appearance, he really doesn't look like a fairy at all, but more like an evil ghost who ran away from somewhere.
It seems that this guy should be Lu Yue, the Qi Refiner of Kowloon Island.
Yu Yuan thought secretly in his heart.
The last time he went to Kowloon Island, he only saw Zhou Xin and Li Qi. Today was the first time he saw the real owner.
At this time, Lu Yue was heard clasping his fists towards Yao Tianjun, his voice hoarse and harsh: "I want to go to Luzhou, Beiju, to collect herbs, but it is convenient to start from Qingqiu, so I won't bother my senior brother to make another effort."
"Easy to say, easy to say. It saves me the trouble. Just join the battle, we will set off soon."
Along with Yao Tianjun's hearty laughter, Lu Yue's figure flashed and floated into the formation like a ghost.
Except for Yu Yuan, the other Jie Jiao Immortals quickly took two steps back to give him enough space, and then they all bowed and saluted: "I will pay my respects to Senior Brother Lu Yue."
Yu Yuan was the only one in the formation who seemed not to have seen Lu Yue. He lit the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath and allowed the highly toxic smoke to stay in the organs for a while until the poison was absorbed and decomposed by the body. Then spit it out slowly.
Thick white smoke spurted out from his mouth, spread, rolled, and slowly rose into the sky.
Lu Yue's green eyes stared at Yu Yuan, as if he wanted to see through his origins.
After a moment, he slowly said: "My elders refused to bow in front of me. Who is your master? Didn't he teach you the rules?"
Yu Yuan blew out a smoke ring and glanced down, "You stand up and speak first. How can I see who you are from sitting there?"
"I……"
Lu Yue almost lost his breath, "I was always standing!"
"oh--"
Yu Yuan drawled his voice, squatted down, and looked level with Lu Yue: "I can see you now, but...who are you? Do I know you?"
After saying that, he stood up and pointed to the Jie Jiao Immortals beside him: "Take a good look at any of our Jie Jiao Immortals who are not handsome, elegant and suave. Even a three-inch nail like you dare to pretend to be my elder." ?”
