Li Jian, Yanxuan, and Lu Pingchuan slowly woke up.
Yanxuan leaned on Tang Ping's shoulder. She looked at Tang Ping in confusion, and then realized that she didn't know where she was.
Qian Chao looked at Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan who were leaning against each other. Seeing them open their eyes, he asked with concern: "Brother Lu, Brother Li, what do you two think?"
Li Jian reacted the fastest. He still remembered the danger he sensed when he was at the lake. He suddenly became nervous. He looked at Qian Chao and said, "Brother Qian, someone is trying to plot against us...where...where is this?"
Before Qian Chao could answer, Yanxuan suddenly screamed in fright and hugged Tang Ping tightly. She accidentally turned her head and saw two corpses on the ground, and was frightened. Tang Ping quickly comforted her.
"Hey, Senior Tang, hey, I haven't seen you for a while!" Lu Pingchuan had a fearless temper. After waking up, he turned around and looked around, but at a glance he saw an old man standing next to him, not Tang Bonian. Who else could it be?
Hearing Lu Pingchuan calling him, Tang Bonian couldn't help but smile softly, secretly thinking that this boy was still confused and dull, and he was not afraid of anything.
Only then did Li Jian and Yanxuan realize that Tang Ping's sixth grandfather was also here. Li Jian, especially, felt at ease, knowing that when this person came, they would be safe. When they saw the corpse next to them, they decided that it must be Uncle Tang. Nian took action to save everyone.
Tang Bonian took two steps, looked in front of everyone, and said: "These two guys set up a net to catch fish, and they may not have been planning on you. It's just a coincidence that you came here to play, but you bumped into it. Now, It's okay. The person who wanted to harm you has been killed. I will send you out after a while. Here, someone from the sect will definitely come to take care of it, so you don't have to come here again. You can ask Qian Chaohe about what happened. Tang Ping, but there is no need to talk about things here to outsiders, do you understand?"
Several people nodded after listening.
Tang Bonian looked at Yanxuan's frightened pale face again, and said warmly: "There are many people with ulterior motives in this spiritual world. You will know it when you can go out for a walk. You are still young now. , with more junior qualifications, fear is normal. However, you must not be frightened and have no intention of making progress after experiencing this incident. You just have to be more careful in your actions in the future."
Yanxuan nodded and thanked him.
According to what Tang Bonian told the sect, the five children were trapped in the formation after being kidnapped. However, the spirit fox of his precious granddaughter was very smart and found an opportunity to escape when Nasuo Yuanshen seized the body of Guan Shanqi. , not only escaped, but also took away a hairpin from Tang Ping's head, which was a life-saving thing given by Tang Bonian to his granddaughter. The spirit fox knew that once the hairpin was broken, Tang Bonian would immediately know that Tang Ping was in danger. , will come to the rescue. So the spirit fox broke the hairpin, Tang Bonian rushed here, killed Suo Yuanshen, and saved the five children in the formation.
The seniors in the sect who were attracted by Tang Bonian did not pay much attention to this statement. The monks who had reached the elixir-forming stage would give similar things to their close relatives and descendants, just to save their lives. What caught their attention was Suo Yuanshen. This person was dead, which was a trouble. If Suo Yuanshen's idea hadn't hit Tang Bonian's granddaughter's head, they would have gone to a lot of trouble to kill him. Guan Shanqi didn't have to worry about it. A Qi Refining disciple with ulterior motives would be considered a bargain if he died.
What attracted their attention even more was the small Five Spirit Formation. They didn't expect that an abandoned formation could be so powerful. After everyone discussed it, they started to dismantle the formation here, and moved everything in the stone hall back to the sect for storage to avoid causing harm to future generations.
Qian Chao and others were sent out of Lianpeng Island by Tang Bonian and sent back to Youming Valley.
Finding a secluded place in the valley, Qian Chao told several people in detail everything that happened after he woke up in the formation, while Tang Ping also told what happened after he was woken up by Qian Chao.
Only then did Li Jian, Yan Xuan and Lu Pingchuan realize that so many twists and turns and thrilling stories had happened when these people were unconscious after being attacked by a sneak attack. If it weren't for Qian Chao, I'm afraid these people would have been like useless people by now. All their previous ambitions may come to nothing.
Li Jian solemnly said to Qian Chao: "Brother Qian, what happened today is all thanks to you. I won't say thank you for this, I will leave it for the future."
After hearing this, Qian Chao hurriedly said: "We really don't have to be like this. We have to get along slowly in the future. Speaking of which, we can be saved. Xiaobai is the one who really deserves the most credit. We must thank him properly!"
Tang Ping laughed after hearing this, raised Xiaobai in her arms in front of her and said, "Did you hear that, everyone wants to thank you, you will have delicious food!"
"Yes! You must treat Xiaobai well." Yanxuan said, and took Xiaobai from Tang Ping's hands to care for him in every possible way.
Having said that, Yanxuan also knew in his heart that without the money tide, he and his companions would have ended badly.
"How about we get some game now and roast it for Xiaobai?" Lu Pingchuan also joined in the fun.
It's just that Xiaobai has a good understanding of human nature, but at this time he was extremely shy and kept hiding his head in Yanxuan's arms.
"I really didn't expect that the person who wanted to harm us was actually Senior Brother Guan. I couldn't tell him at all on ordinary days." Yanxuan suddenly thought of the two corpses he had seen before and was still scared.
After hearing this, Qian Chao said: "When I first woke up, I thought I was being plotted by Qin Suiji or someone from the Qin family. I was even more surprised when I found out that it was Senior Brother Guan, especially his master was also there. I always felt that he That master is a monk from the Five Spirits Sect, and I only found out from Senior Tang that he is an evil cultivator who has been unable to be traced by the Five Spirits Sect."
"A Ping, are evil cultivators very powerful?" Yanxuan asked.
"I really don't know about this. According to what my sixth grandfather said at that time, the master of Guan Shanqi, the one named Suo, seems to be very powerful and has a lot of cultivation. He should have harmed a lot of people. It's probably because the matter was exposed. They were wiped out by people from the sect." Tang Ping said.
"Why are they called evil cultivators? Is it because their methods of cultivation are different?" Li Jian asked.
Tang Ping said: "Well, it should probably be like this. It's like robbery. Generally, thieves rob gold, silk and silver, but evil cultivators rob other monks' cultivation. The monks who are robbed will definitely die."
Several people nodded after hearing this, and Yanxuan asked: "Then...are there many people like this in the cultivation world?"
After hearing this, Tang Ping knew that Yan Xuan was timid, so she said: "Sister Yan, whether he is an evil cultivator actually doesn't depend on what spells he practices. The so-called spells from famous and upright families can also be used to harm people. It mainly depends on the human mind. , there is no difference between having evil intentions and evil cultivators. There are many people in this spiritual world who plot and scheme against others, but they are all just making bad ideas behind their backs. Even the Suo family of Suo Yuanshen, I guess it looked like that before it was exposed. It's just an ordinary aristocratic family. You don't have to be too afraid of this. There is no chance for other people in the valley to be plotted by the alchemy monks. We have made it through this level without any danger, and we will have some confidence when encountering trouble in the future. Who would have thought that Senior Brother Guan is such a talented person? From now on, we must be more careful when dealing with others. One person may be careless, but if we are careful together, we will not give in to those people. Opportunity."
Yanxuan nodded after hearing this and said: "You used to talk about the dangers of this world of cultivation, but I just listened to it as a story. I didn't expect that you would encounter it in Youming Valley. I had encountered many grievances at home before. This is the first time I have encountered danger. Senior Tang also said that I can’t let this scare me out of my wits. Don’t worry, I am not very courageous, but I have made up my mind to continue along the path of cultivation. Don’t worry about me, even if you are afraid, you are still here.”
Li Jian nodded after hearing this and said: "The reason why we were plotted today is because the man named Guan has cultivation and we don't, so it was easy for him to deal with us. I didn't know how big the gap was until we were attacked by the lake." , then there is really no power to fight back. After entering the inner sect, we must work harder and not slack off, otherwise if the opponent's cultivation level is higher than ours, we will still be the swordsman and the fish."
Tang Ping continued: "Brother Li is absolutely right. If you enter the inner sect in the future, you really can't slack off. Speaking of which, in a few days, the sect will open the spirit for us, and it will be time to enter the inner sect. .”
"How to open this spirit?" Qian Chao asked after hearing this.
"I have never experienced it, so how would I know? There is no one in the aristocratic family who is so particular. I will know when the time comes. I am also very curious."
There is indeed no such thing as enlightenment in the family. Qualified descendants and nephews of the family are raised in their own homes to practice. From the moment they officially start practicing physical training, it usually takes three or four years to become a Qi-refining monk. With good qualifications, It will take one or two years, maybe five or six years or even more.
However, a large sect like the Wuling Sect has a unique feature in cultivating disciples, which is to open up the spirit. After one year of physical training, disciples with some foundation can participate. This spiritual opening is hosted by the seniors of the sect. Generally speaking, as long as the disciple is not lazy within this year, anyone with acceptable qualifications can enter. Refining Qi is equivalent to speeding up the training of disciples in Wuling Sect. In this aspect alone, the aristocratic family is far behind. Regardless of whether they have passed the spiritual opening or not, this spiritual opening will not cause any harm to the participating disciples. Of course, the frustration and depression in the hearts of the disciples who have not passed the spiritual opening are not included.
