Evergreen Sect.
Under a huge locust tree in front of the Gongfa Pavilion, Hua Xin swung her feet, grabbed a bunch of candied haws, and ate it slowly. Her big eyes were shining, and she seemed quite satisfied.
Next to her, Yun He was sitting with a smile on his face, humbly asking for advice on some cultivation matters.
"Strictly speaking, the most important difference between the middle stage of foundation building and the early stage of foundation building is the purity and quantity of mana. Therefore, when practicing, don't just focus on concentrating mana to increase the amount, but also pay attention to the refining of mana. , improving the purity will be of great benefit to you and others, breaking through the later stages of foundation building."
Hua Xin looks young, but after all, she is a genuine golden elixir expert, and some of the experiences she casually imparts are of great benefit to Yun He.
At least it would save him a lot of detours.
At this time, it was already the second year since Yunhe returned to the sect after the Wangjiacun incident, and it was also the third month since the monster body explored Yuanjian.
He just finished a stage of practice and went out for a walk.
"Boy Yun, your candied haws is pretty good. The honey syrup outside is not ordinary syrup, right?"
Hua Xin was obviously more concerned about the candied haws in her hand and ate it with gusto.
Yun He didn't know why Hua Xin, a powerful person in the golden elixir stage, liked candied haws so much, but he still explained with a smile:
"As long as your uncle likes it. This honey is the spiritual honey collected by the bees that I keep. I made honey syrup in my spare time, so I brought it to my uncle to taste."
"Well, not bad." Hua Xin nodded to herself.
After taking a sip, accompanied by a "clicking" sound, the honey shell made of red-striped spiritual honey melts into your mouth with a slight fragrance.
Satisfied when he saw Hua Xin, Yun He thought slightly and asked calmly:
"Master Hua, when I was reading the classics some time ago, I suddenly saw a kind of gold stone. Its appearance is pure gold and can emit thunder light. After being left for a period of time, some white hair will grow on its surface. The disciple is very curious, but I don’t know what gold and stone this is, and I don’t know my uncle.”
"oh?"
Hua Xin wiped her mouth, her eyes filled with memories. After a long while, she hesitated and said slowly:
"It absorbs the energy of the extreme west and melts the thunder of heaven and earth. It turns into gold on the outside and white on the inside. Those who turn white into hair are gold essences."
Yun He was confused when he heard these words.
I heard her say a little uncertainly:
"Could it be the Heavenly Thunder Golden Spirit?"
"Heavenly Thunder Golden Essence?" Yun He was startled.
"The information you mentioned is too little. I have never seen it, so you can read it yourself."
As she spoke, she threw a jade slip.
With some curiosity, Yun He put the jade slip against his forehead, and with the infusion of his spiritual consciousness, he browsed the contents.
It turned out that what was recorded in the jade slips was a classic that was similar to miscellaneous readings. Even the name of the author was included in it. He was a madman who called himself "Sheng Banzi". He claimed to be "a prophet for five hundred years, and he will know later Five hundred years.”
And this "Best Half Son" monk has made several lists, such as the "Sacred Tree List", "Magic Weapon List", "Spiritual Insect List" and so on.
Among them is the "Gold and Stone List" that the weapon refiner is concerned about.
In this "Golden Stone List", the seventh one is what Hua Xin calls "Heavenly Thunder Golden Essence"!
There are only text descriptions, no pictures.
The first sentence describing the content is "The inside is full of fine gold and thunder pulp, and the outside is full of jade beads and strange rocks."
"Yao Zhu Strange Stone" reminded Yunhe of the round stone that wrapped the strange gold stone.
"Shengbanzi" finally made a conclusion: "The secret of gold is not to be discussed."
simply put.
This "Sky Thunder Gold Essence" is a kind of gold stone that can be condensed under specific conditions. The main killing strike and heavy sky thunder are precious materials for refining top-level killing magic weapons.
The more "Heavenly Thunder Golden Essence" is added to a magic weapon, the more powerful it is likely to be.
Of course, it is also related to the level of the person who refines the weapons.
After reading it, Yun He was basically 90% sure that the small piece of gold stone he got was the Heavenly Thunder Gold Essence.
Speaking of which, the monster body collected a lot of precious ores, some of which were refined into the Red Sheath Fan and the Thunder Fire Boat.
But this is really the first time that I have reached a gold stone like Tianlei Jinjing that can enhance the power of magic weapons.
Can the power of a magic weapon be enhanced just by adding it?
You must know that magic weapons are treasures that can only be refined by pill-forming monks, and their value is far greater than spiritual weapons!
"How about it?"
Seeing Yunhe finish reading, Hua Xin asked casually.
Yun He slowly put down the jade slip and shook his head.
"Disciple is not sure either. It is only mentioned in the classics."
With that said, he handed the jade slip back.
Hua Xin waved her hand.
"Keep it. It's not a valuable thing."
Finished.
A handful of her palms.
The bamboo skewers of the candied haws on sugar-coated haws disappeared quietly without leaving any trace, just like being wiped away by an eraser.
She wiped her mouth again, clapped her hands, and walked towards the Kung Fu Pavilion formation.
Seeing Hua Xin's unintentionally exposed hand, Yun He felt a little amazed.
Because he couldn't see how Hua Xin erased the bamboo sticks, and there was obviously not even a trace of mana fluctuation.
Is this the ability of the alchemy monk?
He stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, uncle."
Hua Xin, who had her back to him, waved her hand and heard a childish voice.
"Kong boy seems to be looking for you."
After saying that, he walked into the formation.
"Um?"
Just when Yun He was surprised, a communication talisman came from a distance and hovered in front of him.
It was actually Headmaster Kong Zhibai’s communication talisman!
"My two junior brothers will be able to help me with this matter."
At the gate of Changqing Sect, the headmaster Kong Zhibai bowed and smiled.
"Master Master has your destiny, how dare you disobey me?"
Yun He and a middle-stage foundation-building monk beside him returned the greeting at the same time. Under Kong Zhibai's gaze, the two of them took out their flying boats and fled away.
When the two of them flew out of Qingshan City, the foundation-building monk named Huang Ling who was with them said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Yun, don't look so grim. This is a good thing."
"Good thing?"
Looking at this senior brother Huang, as one of the first foundation-building monks of the Evergreen Sect whom Yunhe met after he established the foundation, the two of them were quite familiar.
"Hahaha——" Looking at the puzzled Yun He, Senior Brother Huang laughed loudly, and then his expression became a little more serious.
"The Zou family we are going to celebrate birthday this time is one of the largest immortal cultivating families in the nearby areas, and the ancestor of the Zou family is even a fake alchemy cultivator!"
Hearing this, Yun He was startled.
"Fake alchemy monk?"
The headmaster Kong Zhibai ordered Yunhe and Huang Ling to go to a cultivating family to celebrate their birthday.
This matter was not considered a task, so even though Yunhe had just finished handling the Wangjiacun matter more than a year ago, he was still sent out by Kong Zhibai.
There are many immortal cultivating families in the Evergreen Domain. Even in Qingshan City, there are five major families. When the ancestor of the Ma family turned 200, the Evergreen Sect also sent foundation-building cultivators there.
Yunhe originally thought that the family celebrating his birthday this time was just a foundation-building family, so he didn't understand why Kong Zhibai sent him and Huang Ling, two foundation-building monks, to go with him.
But I never thought that there was a fake alchemy monk in the Zou family!
Fake elixir is a special realm between foundation building and golden elixir.
It was a monk who had reached the foundation-building level and refined the inner elixir of a third-level demon, thus reluctantly forming a fake elixir.
It is said that no matter in terms of strength, magical power or longevity, they are similar to those of monks in the early stage of pill formation.
However, once the demonic beast's inner elixir is refined into a fake elixir, there is no possibility of further improvement in one's lifelong cultivation, and even death will be around the early stage of elixir formation.
Only those foundation-building monks who know that there is no hope of forming elixirs will consider forming fake elixirs.
Of course, one can imagine how difficult it is for a foundation-building monk to obtain the inner elixir of a third-level demon.
Moreover, for a foundation-building monk who only has a lifespan of more than two hundred years, forming a fake elixir can be compared to a monk who has formed a false elixir. He has a lifespan of at least five hundred years, but can live hundreds of years longer.
Even if many foundation-building monks want to obtain fake elixirs, they have no way.
"Yes, the ancestor of the Zou family is the one we are here to congratulate on his 400th birthday."
The four-hundred-year-old fake elixir monk is not even in his prime, but he still has at least a hundred years of life left.
So this Zou family relies on the ancestor of the fake elixir, and presumably it is also one of the powerful immortal cultivating families that flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Although I understand why the two of us were sent, the 'good thing' is" Yun He raised doubts again.
"Because the Zou family is famous for their hospitality, the meals on their birthdays alone are not bad. In addition, according to the usual practice, when such Pill Formation monks have a birthday, and there are many Foundation Formation monks coming and going, they will naturally There is a 'Treasure Exchange Conference'."
Senior Brother Huang explained with a smile.
"In addition, as the host, the Zou family will also bring out some rarely seen treasures."
I see.
After hearing what Huang Ling said, Yun He understood.
These were the "treasure exchange conferences" attended in the early stages of foundation building, and the things that appeared were naturally more advanced than those at market auctions.
No wonder Huang Ling said this was a good thing.
"By the way, Junior Brother Yun, your flying boat is quite fast."
"Senior Brother Huang is joking."
The Zou family's territory is not in the Changqing Territory, nor is it within the Spirit Beast Territory or the Guiyuan Territory.
But it is in a land called "Heyu" in the south of Evergreen Territory.
This domain occupies the last section of the Tianling Mountains and is also rich in resources.
However, there is no particularly powerful immortal cultivating sect in this domain, nor is there any force that can rule the domain. Instead, it is managed by various forces, and the Zou family is one of them.
Within the combined domain.
On a high mountain, Yun He and Huang Ling landed from the flying boat.
Further ahead is a mountain col that was flattened by the great power, and the huge ancient city located in the mountain col is the territory of the Zou family, Zoucheng.
As soon as the two landed on the ground, they looked not far away at the same time.
I saw a monk standing on the flying boat approaching at an extremely fast speed.
"It's Zou Jiping, a mid-stage foundation-building monk from the Zou family."
Huang Ling obviously knew this person. After introducing Yun He in a low voice, he cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zou, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your cultivation has improved again."
"Hahaha, that's Fellow Daoist Huang. I haven't seen him for several years. I wonder if you have perfected your 'Huanglong Sword'."
The two simply exchanged pleasantries with a smile.
"I'm rude, I don't know who this fellow Taoist is"
Only then did Zou Jiping turn his attention to Yun He.
"This is Junior Brother Huang." Huang Ling introduced.
"Xia Yunhe, I have met fellow Taoist Zou."
Yun He cupped his hands.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Yun."
Zou Jiping looked astonished, and after cupping his hands, he continued: "The two Taoist friends from the Evergreen Sect are visiting, and the ancestor will definitely be extremely happy. Please!"
As he said this, he put on an invitation gesture.
This led the two of them into the mountain col, into Zoucheng, and finally arrived in front of the huge mansion of the Zou family.
"I forgive you, fellow Taoists." Zou Jiping explained: "I still have a mission. The two fellow Taoists can go in on their own, and someone will receive them. You can also stroll around in Zoucheng. I believe you can meet many fellow Taoists."
After that, he bowed and left.
The birthday officially started two days later.
"Tsk." Huang Ling curled his lips, as if he was not very good at dealing with Zou Jiping.
Yun He had no interest in knowing about the past between the two of them.
He was just a little confused and lowered his voice: "Senior Brother Huang, why did Fellow Daoist Zou know about it as soon as we arrived on the mountain?"
"I guess there are some restrictions left so that we can receive the guests as early as possible to show our welcome."
'Is it? ’ The doubts in Yun He’s heart were not resolved.
"So Junior Brother Yun, do you want to take a walk or rest first?" Huang Ling asked with a smile.
"I"
Just as Yun He was about to say rest, he saw an unexpected figure out of the corner of his eye and was stunned for a moment.
"Junior brother?"
Yun He came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said:
"Senior Brother Huang, junior brother is a little curious about Zoucheng, so let's take a look around."
"That's fine. I've already been here twice, but I'm not very interested."
Huang Ling nodded, told Yun He some things that needed attention, and then gave him a jade slip containing the map of Zoucheng before walking into the Zou family's mansion.
Just as Zou Jiping said, as soon as Huang Ling entered the door, someone greeted him and led him to his resting place.
Yun He waited until Huang Ling disappeared before looking at the unexpected person.
'It's indeed Wang Jinglan! '
