Young Master Yu shouted loudly, "Sister Zhiyue!"
Zhiyue was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Young Master Yu looking at her with a slight disappointment, "Sister Zhiyue, I am a child from Feiying Valley back then. I have grown up."
The female cultivator who drove the horse was startled and secretly scolded Young Master Yu for being reckless. She took a few steps forward and explained, "Palace Master, this is Yu Tianrui, the young master of the Yu family in Pengyun Mountain. When we were drafting, Young Master Yu insisted on it regardless of the obstruction between us and the Yu family. Get in the carriage."
"Yu Family? Is it the Yu Family, a subsidiary family of Tianyang Immortal Sect?"
"Exactly."
"Sister Zhiyue, don't you remember me?" Yu Tianrui pursed his lips, looking extremely aggrieved.
Zhiyue couldn't see it like this, "Oh, remember, that chubby little baby, you go in first, I have a distinguished guest here."
As he spoke, he waved his robe sleeves and four people, including one person and the carriage, entered the Qingyue Palace.
Zhiyue turned around and said with a smile, "Zhao Ning, let's put it in a different place. I have experienced a lot over the years, and I have gained some insights in practice. I look forward to talking to others."
But Zhao Ning looked at her strangely, her thoughts still lingering on the shocking words the female cultivator had just said.
"Draft?"
Zhiyue didn't know what was weird, and explained confusedly, "Yes, the draft, the heads of small ordinary countries often draft women to enter the palace. Our Yangzhou cultivation world also drafts, but we only choose beautiful couples. This has happened in Yangzhou for thousands of years It’s a tradition, big sect leaders and big family heads all have this habit. Anyway, they are all selected within the territory. Choosing excellent Taoist companions to practice together will not only improve each other’s cultivation, but also enhance the overall strength of the sect or family.”
"Hey, I know that the customs in Yangzhou are somewhat different from those in other cultivation worlds, but there is not much difference. As far as I know, Rao Ji, the great elder of Kunxu Yuhua Sect, has several wives and concubines, and so does Fairy Yin Ling of Luoxia Sect. There are several relationships, but they are hiding them, we are just aboveboard."
As early as in Kunxu, Zhao Ning had heard about it, but at that time, he was only focused on cultivation and had no intention of listening to this kind of gossip.
Zhao Ning smiled helplessly, "It's true that I was surprised."
"It's a rare visit. If you don't talk about these gossips, follow me into the palace."
Qingyue Palace is very magnificently renovated, with a high-profile and extravagant style.
Even with the incident at the palace gate, Zhao Ning was still a little helpless sitting in the main hall after being mentally prepared. She thought they could talk in private, so Zhiyue directly brought Zhao Ning to the high platform of the main hall.
Dozens of handsome male cultivators below the high platform either raised their heads to look at Zhiyue expectantly, or lowered their heads and waited shyly.
Zhiyue judged the physical appearance of the men in the audience, choosing between fat and thin, which made people feel confused.
Zhiyue finally chose three Taoist companions, and Young Master Yu was among them. Basically, they all had good spiritual roots and understanding. At first, they said they were evaluating physical appearance, but in fact, it was just a glance. As Zhiyue said, the appearance was all good. If it is not in harmony with one's will, these two practices must be disharmonious.
When it was over, Zhao Ning asked Zhiyue about the disaster at Qingyue Temple.
Zhiyue didn't feel sad anymore, "The Heyi Sect said that there were things they lost in my temple. In fact, it was just an excuse to invade our Qingyue Temple and take the girls back and use them as their cauldron. Oh, girls I would rather die than let them succeed.”
"Who is this Heyi Sect and where does it come from?" Zhao Ning asked.
"I don't know, but when I was in the Heyi Sect a few years ago, I often saw that their sect would collect a large number of spiritual objects as tribute every ten years, as if they were going to the Tianyang Immortal Sect."
Tianyang Immortal Sect? Ye Feng?
However, Ye Feng was trapped in the Yangshen Realm and could not come out within three thousand years.
Although the Tianyang Immortal Sect now claims to be aloof, it is actually leaderless and does not dare to act in a high-profile manner.
"I have heard about the Tianyang Immortal Sect. It is difficult to tell the difference between good and evil in what this sect does..." Ye Feng, the master behind it, "...if he is involved with the Tianyang Immortal Sect, I am afraid there will be no peace."
"Don't worry." Zhiyue didn't care. "For so many years, the Heyi Sect has not come to see me again. Even if I made such a big move to establish a sect, they didn't say a word. I'm afraid that they were looking for something to cause trouble in the first place. . Over the past few thousand years, Yangzhou’s cultivation resources have become increasingly scarce, and it was normal for the sect families to fight openly and secretly with each other.”
Zhao Ning gave a faint "hmm".
After a few days, Zhao Ning wanted to leave, but Zhiyue said, "It's so boring for you to travel alone, why not choose one of my beautiful couples to accompany you."
When he said this, several of Zhiyue's lovers were still around. After hearing this, except for Yu Tianyou, who was focused on Zhiyue, the others stared at Zhao Ning, full of admiration.
Zhao Ning felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy for a moment. He only said a few words to Zhi Yue and left in a hurry.
Zhiyue covered her mouth and smiled, looking at the disappointed show lovers, "You can't get her, you are thin-skinned, and you have to practice hard. I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, what's wrong with the mortal Taoist couple."
Two years later, on the outskirts of the Demonic Wilderness of the West.
Although the Western Demonic Wasteland has been eroded by demonic energy all the year round, and all the creatures inside have been demonized, there are also many special materials and ruins dating back ten thousand years, which have attracted some cultivators who do not hesitate to take the risk to explore the Western Demonic Wasteland.
Therefore, there are several markets outside the West Extreme Demonic Wasteland for cultivators to exchange materials and buy and sell items.
This place is called Xiyuan Town, a small town in the most recent Demonic Wasteland of the West.
There are not many people in the market, and most of them are at the level of foundation building and above. However, because of this, this business is even more frequent. Many cultivators have collected things that are of no use to them as soon as they come out of the Western Demonic Wasteland. Replace it with spiritual stones or other needed items in the town.
The market was bustling. A male cultivator entered the market in disgrace. When he entered a shop, he asked, "Do you want to collect the fragments of Kyushu scrolls?"
"Has this fellow Taoist just come out of the Demonic Wilderness of the West?" The shopkeeper, whose cultivation base was also building, walked out from behind the counter with a smile, "We don't accept the fragments of the Kyushu scrolls, but we do collect some demonic materials here. .”
The male foundation-building cultivator was a little irritable, "Nonsense, if I had those things, would I ask about the Kyushu Fragments first? What happened was really unlucky. I didn't catch anything, several people died, and I only took out a box of Kyushu Fragments. , I lost my wife and lost my troops."
He waved his hand and said, "I won't charge you any more. I'll go ask elsewhere."
The shopkeeper looked at him in such a miserable state and said, "Fellow Taoist, I think you are pitiful. I have collected all of my thousand spiritual stones. What do you think?"
The male foundation-building cultivator immediately glared angrily, "I have a hundred fragments of Nine Provinces scrolls here. You can collect one of the ten spiritual stones and send me to beggar."
"I am doing this to be friendly to the Taoist people. The town will no longer accept the Jiuzhou fragments. I have not seen the unknown location for many years. I have collected the fragments and resold them for no price. What I am telling you is the truth. Fellow Taoist people will tell you later. Will come to my place."
The male Foundation Establishment cultivator was a little hesitant, but a kind-hearted passerby cultivator outside interrupted and said, "Fellow Taoist, why don't you go to the west side of the town. There is a mangrove courtyard five miles away. The fairy inside collects the fragments of the Nine Provinces scrolls at the original price. "
The male foundation-building cultivator's eyes lit up, "Seriously?"
The monk outside shrugged, believing it or not.
After running for a while without any trouble, the male foundation-building cultivator left quickly on the spot.
The monk and the shopkeeper outside looked at each other without saying anything, and quickly moved away from each other, going about their own business.
The male Foundation Establishment cultivator followed the guide and finally saw a small mangrove courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by a fence and a simple wooden house with three entrances and a kitchen. There was a mangrove planted outside the wooden house. The mangrove tree was about one foot tall. , the leaves were orange-yellow, and the breeze blew, and the leaves rustled down, falling on the shoulders of the Tsing Yi fairy who was tending the Yuelang flower garden in the courtyard.
The moonflower grows very well, reaching up to the calf, with clusters of small blue flowers hanging on it.
For a moment, the male foundation-building cultivator forgot why he came. He was obviously a fairy with an immortal appearance, but he was even more impressed by such a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
The fairy in green stood up, took off the leaf from her shoulder, and looked down at the leaf.
He murmured, "It doesn't seem red enough."
"I heard that there is a kind of mulberry tree in Zhuzhou. It has no flowers or fruits, and the leaves are the most red. This is probably what the fairy thought." The male foundation-building cultivator suddenly said.
Zhao Ning turned to look at him, knowing that someone was coming.
The male Foundation Establishment cultivator probably sensed something was wrong and quickly bowed his hands, "Chen was abrupt and disturbed the fairy."
Zhao Ning nodded slightly and returned the greeting, "You're welcome, fellow Taoist, but are you here to sell the fragments of Kyushu scrolls, fellow Taoist Chen?"
After living in seclusion for two years, Zhao Ning remembered the idea of collecting all the fragments of Kyushu. Although it was impossible, there was always some fun in opening unknown fragments.
"Exactly." Chen Yi moved the box out of the storage bag. It was infected with a circle of demonic energy. Even Chen Yi did not dare to get too close. "I took this from a deep valley in the Demonic Wasteland. , please ask the fairy to take a look."
The box was opened, and one of the Kyushu fragments was taken out. With a flick of the finger, the evil spirit was removed.
Only a small island was drawn inside. Zhao Ning only glanced at it, then rolled it up again, raised his hand a little more, and the spirit stone bag suddenly appeared in Chen Yi's hand.
"There are five thousand spiritual stones in total. Fellow Daoist Chen will order some."
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. His consciousness swept away nothing more and nothing less. He suddenly smiled and thanked Zhao Ning. He turned to leave, but heard Zhao Ning's voice behind him.
"There is something strange in Daoyou Chen's body. It's best to get rid of it as soon as possible."
Chen Yi's footsteps immediately stopped, and his consciousness swept over his body, but he didn't notice anything.
He turned to look at Zhao Ning in confusion, but when Zhao Ning turned a little closer, he immediately felt something beating between his eyebrows.
Chen Yi was instantly nervous and rushed to the stream outside the courtyard. He looked through the reflection and saw a red mark between his eyebrows reflected in the water, like an indented scar.
He gathered his true energy between his eyebrows and tried to dispel it, but he was horrified to find that this thing was not a red seal at all, but a living insect. Its legs and feet were invisible and extended to the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows, seemingly connected to the sea of consciousness.
If the sea of consciousness is broken and the soul has nowhere to go, even with his foundation-building cultivation, his soul will be scattered.
He was so frightened that he stumbled to the door of the small courtyard with his hands and feet, and knelt down with a plop, "Fairy, fairy, please save me. This thing must have been contracted in the West Extreme Demonic Wasteland. I don't want to die."
"This thing is called the Consciousness Devouring Insect, and it only existed in the Ancient Era." Zhao Ning made no move.
"Yes, yes, we found a large tomb in the Demonic Wasteland of the West End. The tomb has been silent for I don't know how many years. I think it must have been preserved from ancient times."
Chen Yi told everything he knew.
"A few years ago, several Taoist friends and I found an ancient book. The ancient book recorded rumors about the Haotian cultivation world tens of thousands of years ago. It was rumored that there was a tomb of a god in the Mingfeng Canyon of Haotian. In the tomb of the god, there were not only spiritual objects that reach the sky. There were also the remains of heavenly beings, so we wanted to give it a try, but we didn’t expect that we actually entered the Mingfeng Canyon, but instead of finding the tomb of the gods, we found fragments of Kyushu scrolls all over the ground.”
"Fairy, what I said is true. If Fairy wants to find this god's tomb, I will hand over all the clues to you. I just ask Fairy to help me get rid of this consciousness-eating insect."
Chen Yi was really scared, so he held up the ancient book with both hands as he spoke.
Zhao Ning took the ancient book but did not read it. She turned her hands and turned away. A spiritual light came out from her fingertips and pierced into the consciousness-eating insect. Chen Yi felt a strange scream in the sea of consciousness, and the sea of consciousness churned violently. After half a cup of tea, Time just slowed down.
When he checked again, he realized that there were no consciousness-eating insects anymore, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his eyes to say thank you, but saw the fairy returning to the garden, holding the Water Spirit Jue, and slowly watering the moonflowers.
The stems of moonflower are swaying, and little auras of light are scattered among the flower strings.
"We met by chance and got help from a fairy. Chen is very grateful. But don't you know the name of the fairy?"
Zhao Ning did not answer.
Chen Yi hesitated outside the door, but finally left calmly.
After Zhao Ning watered the last moonflower, she stood up and stood under the mangrove tree, pressing her palms into the mangrove tree. As the red leaves fell, strange fluctuations spread out, and finally the entire small courtyard was invisible.
Zhao Ning stretched out his hand, and the Heaven-Sealing Order appeared in his hand. The order was filled with light, and a light door appeared in front of him.
The period of sealing the heaven order has arrived.
Zhao Ning waited for a long time and entered without hesitation.
His vision swayed and turned from bright to dark. The entire sky was shrouded in demonic energy. All kinds of confusing sounds were lingering in his ears. Demonic shadows seemed to be everywhere.
A clear divine light spread around the body, dispersing the monsters that gathered in an instant.
But here is a two-foot-wide long staircase in the middle platform. Various stone carvings and ancient animals squat on both sides of the long staircase. Looking up, there is a white jade palace at the end of the long staircase. However, the white jade is dim at this moment and the palace door is closed. , Even so, there is still smoke-like demonic energy overflowing from the gap.
This should be the main hall of Tianji Palace.
Tianji Palace has long been raided by high-grade golden elixirs holding the Heaven-Sealing Order. There are only some remaining demon spirits in the palace, and there are very few high-level demons.
But the strange thing is that Zhao Ning did not find the astrological platform in the Tianji Palace, or even saw a similar building.
Looking up at the sky, the demonic energy covered most of the light, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night.
Astrology, astrology, don’t they only appear in the dark night?
