"Of course it was built after the arrival of Old Man. Not only that, His Majesty also ordered people to demolish the surrounding palaces and designated this place as a restricted area. No one is allowed to approach without Old Man's permission." Ye Chongshan said slowly.
"So that's it. Senior has suffered!" Zhou Yang suddenly realized, and his uneasy mood finally calmed down, secretly thinking that these mortals are really interesting. They can only call them Immortal Masters, and they also have some kind of sub-immortal masters. No wonder the old man doesn't like to hear it.
"Haha, I have already looked away. If I had not been obsessed with alchemy, I would have lived in seclusion and waited for the day of my death." Ye Chongshan smiled and waved his hand.
"I admire the open-mindedness of my senior. However, who can say clearly about the things in this world. Senior's obsession with alchemy may not necessarily lead to achievements. Perhaps he can return to the realm of Tianyuan with this." Zhou Yang consoled him.
"Haha, thank you for the comfort, fellow Taoist. However, I still know that I am old and decrepit. I don't dare to hope to return to Tianyuan. I just hope to live a few more years." Although Ye Chongshan is free and easy, who doesn't miss life.
"Senior, you are too modest. I wonder what kind of elixir you are refining?" Zhou Yang did not continue the topic and changed his tone.
"Oh, Fushou Dan."
"Fushou Dan? Could it be a life-prolonging elixir?"
"Haha, exactly."
"Oh." Zhou Yang nodded. Which mortal emperor doesn't want to live a few more years? The purpose of asking Mr. Ye to come out is naturally to refine the elixir for longevity.
"By the way, my senior was once the deacon of Zhou Tianzong. Do you know Tong Lianxue, Miss Tong, the beloved disciple of Master Zhou Tianzong Hai?" Zhou Yang had long been curious about this woman, and now he had the urge to ask.
"When I left the sect, the sect leader had not yet accepted this disciple. However, I heard the inspector talking about her. Could it be that fellow Taoist knows this girl?"
"I'm just famous. I've never seen this disciple of Sect Leader Hai, so I'm asking this question." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"I heard that this woman has extraordinary aptitudes. She is not very old, but she has made great progress. She was at the peak of Lingtai a few years ago, and she is probably about to break through Tianyuan."
"He is indeed a genius." Zhou Yang praised.
He had also heard Mo Chenglong talk about this person in Tu Yancheng. He was indeed no more than two years older than himself, but he had reached the top of the spiritual realm a few years ago and his cultivation aptitude was indeed impressive.
"Haha, I think Zhou Daoyou and her are just like brothers." Ye Chongshan is an experienced man. He guessed that when this person mentioned Tong Lianxue, he was more than just curious. But if the other party didn't tell him, he would naturally not ask. .
"I'm a fool, but I'm far inferior to Sect Master Hai."
"With fellow Taoist qualifications, it would be a pity to be in the Tianxing Sect." Ye Chongshan's eyes flashed with strange color.
"Thank you, senior."
"What I'm telling you is the truth. After all, Zhou Tian Sect is the real sect, and there are middle-stage Jindan masters like Sect Leader Hai sitting in charge. Looking at the ten cities in the far north of Hezhou, there are few who can match it."
Zhou Yang nodded. Hai Tianxiao had already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core. He didn't know if anyone in the ten cities in the far north had the same level, but in Dingbei and Anping, they were definitely unmatched.
Although Ye Chongshan has lived in the Mortal Kingdom for a long time, he is not blocked from the news. He knows a lot about the situation in Dingbei and even the surrounding cities. It seems that he is also very concerned about the situation of Zhou Tianzong. He is not in a state of seclusion and indifference to worldly affairs.
"I wonder if you have any intention of joining Zhou Tianzong?" Seeing that Zhou Yang just nodded and did not express his opinion, Ye Chongtian had no choice but to get straight to the point.
Although he left Zhou Tianzong, his heart did not leave. Now that he saw that Zhou Yang had extraordinary qualifications and was a disciple of Zhou Tianzong's peripheral forces, he began to recruit talents for the sect.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I am currently only a member of the outer sect of Tianxing. My status is far different from that of a disciple of Zhou Tianzong. I really don't dare to have such an idea." Although Zhou Yang said this, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.
It's not that he is arrogant. He had been a disciple of a sect before, but now he is used to freedom as a casual cultivator. Once he joins a sect, he will be controlled everywhere, so he has no plans to join any sect yet.
"This is not a problem. Zhou Tianzong only talks about strength and not family background. Although I have been away from the sect for more than ten years, I know the style of our sect very well, and the sect leader has a broad mind, is open to all rivers, and attaches great importance to talents.
With the qualifications and strength of fellow Taoists, they can easily pass the entry test and become elite disciples immediately after joining the sect. "
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. Can I think about it for a moment?" He doesn't want to take any tests without taking them.
Seeing that Zhou Yang was unmoved, the old man was a little surprised. Not to mention the outer disciples of Tianxing Sect, even the core disciples probably wanted to enter Zhou Tianzong.
The person in front of me looked disapproving of this. Could it be that he had a bigger backing?
"Of course it is. By the way, the destination of fellow Taoist this time is Wu Haiguo?" Seeing that Zhou Yang had no intention of doing so for the time being, Ye Chongshan also changed the subject.
"Yes, I have been ordered to inspect Wu Haiguo."
"Oh, do fellow Taoists plan to participate in the competition held every three years in Dingbei?"
"Haha, no." Zhou Yang said truthfully.
"Oh, fellow Taoist will be able to break through to the peak of the Lingtai in the near future. Once he breaks through, fellow Taoist will definitely win more and lose less against cultivators of the same level. He has no intention of participating in the competition, which makes the old man a little puzzled. Dare I ask my friend, do you know the rewards of the competition?"
"Know a thing or two."
"Haha, that old man won't say much anymore." Ye Chongshan said with a smile, stroking his beard.
However, Zhou Yang felt that his smile was a little unpredictable, and his heart moved. Isn't there a higher reward after the competition?
Zhou Yang then asked Ye Chongshan a few questions, including some insights on cultivation. Ye Zhong did not hide his secrets, perhaps for the purpose of winning over, and answered them one by one, which benefited Zhou Yang a lot.
Unknowingly, more than an hour had passed before Zhou Yang stood up and said goodbye to Ye Chongshan.
Ye Chongshan was sent outside the palace. Zhou Yang gave a salute and was about to turn around to leave. Ye Chongshan suddenly said: "If you, Taoist friend Zhou, participate in the Dingbei Competition, it will definitely bring unexpected benefits. Please think twice before doing so!"
After saying this, Ye Chongshan entered the palace and the door was immediately closed.
"Unexpected benefits? Is it an extra reward or something else?" Zhou Yang was stunned. There was something in Ye Chongshan's words, but he did not elaborate. What did it mean?
But he obviously wanted to encourage himself to participate in the competition.
Is this competition different from the past, maybe there is something special? It seems that after going back, I really need to learn more about it.
Originally, Zhou Yang had no intention of participating in the so-called competition, at most he just wanted to watch the excitement, but after Ye Chongshan's inadvertent prompting, his heart also started to stir.
Although there is a word for cultivating Taoism and immortality, it is not possible to achieve Taoism and become an immortal by just practicing hard. This requires opportunity, luck and training. No one can explain such things as opportunities, but without training, opportunities will not fall from the sky.
Moreover, the higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to break through. It is still good if you are below the Tianyuan realm. But if you want to break through the Tianyuan realm, you cannot rely solely on hard work or pills. Qualification, understanding and opportunity are still important.
After the Tianyuan realm, you need to understand the way of heaven, that is, to figure out the laws of occurrence and development of all things in the world, which makes it more difficult to advance.
When you reach the golden elixir realm, understanding the way of heaven and following or mastering its rules are even more necessary for advancement. No matter how many elixirs you have, it won't be enough.
Zhou Yang had seen the above in many classics and believed deeply in it, so once he had the opportunity, he would definitely seize it.
It is useless to think too much at this time. They will know when they see Song Laohu.
After leaving Chengxian Hall, Zhou Yang returned the same way.
He didn't have to go back to the auction house, but he had to pass through the Imperial Garden to get to where Song Laosan and Tie Hu were staying faster. Passing by other roads would waste a lot of time.
As for Qibusan, it was purely made up by him. What he gave to the three old eunuchs was just the lowest level of healing elixir. He did this just because he didn't want to cause too many troubles.
When he reached the Imperial Garden, he did not return to the apse, nor did he plan to go to the auction house. Instead, he planned to bypass the temporary palace and return along the path he came from.
But as soon as he took a few steps, he heard a burst of discussion.
"You know, there is a stone being auctioned right now. I heard it is ancient iron."
"What's the use of that thing? It's dark and can neither be eaten nor drunk. I don't know what those guys are thinking. They keep increasing the price. You must be sick!"
"You are really ignorant. That dead iron is a treasure to suppress evil. I heard it can also be used as medicine. After taking it, you will live longer!"
"What, medicine? That's dead iron, can it be eaten?"
"Burn iron! Could it be a fallen stone from the sky, that is, a star stone?" Zhou Yang heard the words of the two young eunuchs clearly, and his heart was shaken. He did not continue to listen, but flashed and quickly disappeared in the small room. Among the woods.
The auction has come to an end, and the two guards at the door of the auction house are taking a nap against the door.
In order to save time, Zhou Yang used his body skills and entered the hall lightly.
At this time, the auction hall was bustling with bidding, and bids were heard one after another.
Zhou Yang looked at the auction table and couldn't help but ejaculate in the next moment, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
It’s really hard to find anything even if you try hard to find it, and it takes no effort at all to get it!
But there was a black and translucent stone placed in the tray on the stage, the size of a baby's head. No need to look closely, that is the star stone that is of great use to him!
Not only does the Qi-Building Pill need to use this substance, but also many middle- and high-level pills in the Pill Technique require it.
Ordinary auction items are held in the tray by the girl herself, but this is not the case. It must be a matter of weight.
Ordinarily, a stone is only the size of a baby's head and shouldn't weigh much. But others don't know it, but Zhou Yang knows that the star stone is extremely dense, and a stone of the same size weighs only one percent of the star stone.
Next to the star stone, there is a dark oval stone. The stone is inconspicuous, not much bigger than a bird egg, and the color is similar to the star stone. It is probably a small piece of star stone, and it should be a one-for-one offer.
I didn't expect that this thing would be discovered in a mere mortal country. This luck has come, and there is no way to stop it.
Although Tianxingmen also has star stones, they are their treasures after all. A little bit is fine, but if you take too much, it will definitely not work.
Today, no matter how much it costs, I have to take a picture. Even if I can't take a picture, I still have to grab it even if it means robbing it.
