The Jinyan Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, and this is the main altar of the Jinyan Gate.
Deep in the mountains, you can see many buildings and cultivators, a vast manor, pavilions, waterside pavilions and corridors.
A thin man in gold robe sat in a blue stone pavilion, and an old man in blue robe of medium height was reporting to the man in gold robe.
"Senior Brother Li and Junior Brother Sun disappeared at the same time. They couldn't be contacted after they left Fangshi."
The old man in blue robe said.
Two foundation-building monks from the Jin Yan Sect have disappeared. They have been missing for more than half a year. Among them, Li Lei is the protector elder. The disappearance of the protector elder has attracted the attention of the sect's senior officials.
"Who was the last person to see them?"
The man in gold robe asked.
Master Jin Yan, in the early stage of elixir formation.
"Senior nephew Chen, she is taking care of business in Qingmang Valley. Senior brother Li went to Fangshi to do business and met her once. According to our investigation, there was a foundation-building monk who stayed in a teahouse near Fangshi for a few days. He said he was waiting for This person, just when Senior Brother Li left Fangshi, this person also checked out and left. There is a lot of suspicion. I have sent people to look for this person. There is no news yet. "
The old man in blue robe said.
Chen He, the law enforcement elder of Jin Yan Sect, is in the late stage of foundation building.
"Could it be that the Tang family is investigating?"
Master Jin Yan frowned and said.
They attacked and killed the Tang family's children and stole the golden elixir jade liquid and a large amount of property. Only then could Master Jin Yan advance to the elixir formation stage.
The Tang family had Nascent Soul monks in charge. They did not dare to stay in Shu, so they traveled to more than a dozen countries, and finally settled in Wei. Master Jindi changed his appearance. After entering the Danjie stage, he called himself Master Jin Yan founded a sect.
"Probably not. If it was the Tang family, they would have sent people to kill them by now. Besides, the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Shu are separated by more than ten countries. The disciples of the Tang family's law enforcement hall came so far to pursue? How do they know that we are in the Kingdom of Wei? A few of us have been changing our appearance and acting differently, and we have never used our true appearance."
Chen He said slowly, with confusion on his face.
If the Tang family traces Jin Yanmen, it is impossible to attack only the foundation-building monks and directly attack Master Jin Yan.
"To be cautious, you still have to be on guard. I went out to avoid the limelight, and so do you."
Master Jin Yan ordered.
Chen He nodded. He thought of something and said, "By the way, a second-order dragon appeared in the Tang Kingdom. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Second-order dragon? Forget it, I won't get involved in this kind of thing. Let's hide for a while!"
Master Jin Yan said, leaving Jin Yanmen.
······
Qin State, Qianling Mountains.
A white light appeared in the distant sky, flying quickly towards the Qianling Mountains.
Not long after, the speed of the white light slowed down, and a giant bird with a pure white body appeared. Shen Long stood on the back of the giant bird.
Shen Long captured Li Lei and the two of them, found a remote place for interrogation, and showed Li Lei the portraits of Shen Long's parents. As expected, Li Lei looked strange.
No matter how Shen Long pressed, Li Lei refused to admit it. Shen Long directly killed Li Lei, left Weiguo, and returned to his sect.
He wasn't sure who the murderer was, and he didn't want to find out clearly. Anyway, the top leaders of the Order were on his must-kill list.
On the way back, Golden Winged Fengpeng advanced to the late stage of the second level, which unexpectedly resolved Shen Long's bottleneck. Shen Long advanced to the late stage of foundation building, which surprised him.
The promotion of the natal soul bird is one of the ways to resolve the bottleneck of the immortal cultivator. This method is not a panacea. Sometimes the immortal cultivator is stuck in the bottleneck. Even if the natal soul bird is promoted to a greater realm, it may not be able to resolve the bottleneck. Any way to resolve the bottleneck is Probabilistic events.
Some of the foundation-building monks of the Yuling Sect were stuck at a bottleneck. They solved the bottleneck on the way to hunting monsters. Then they got stuck at the bottleneck in the middle of the pill formation. They went to hunt monsters again, but the bottleneck was never solved.
Shen Long traveled around, exchanged Taoist teachings with fellow practitioners, participated in celebrations, competed with foundation-building monks, and hunted monsters. He tried many methods but failed to resolve the bottleneck. Unexpectedly, he advanced to the late stage of the second level of the Golden Winged Wind Peng. , unexpectedly resolved his bottleneck.
Calculating the time, Shen Long left Yulingzong for fifteen years, and he didn't know what happened to Qian Dafu and others.
As soon as he returned to the main altar and let the Snow Wind Bird fly towards Qinglian Garden, a familiar female voice sounded: "Senior Brother Shen, long time no see."
Shen Long asked the Snow Wind Bird to stop and looked at the source of the sound. A giant white crane flew over, and Chu Yuling stood on the back of the giant white crane.
Not seeing each other for many years, Chu Yuling was already in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Junior Sister Chu, long time no see. Isn't Senior Sister Lin with you?"
Shen Long said hello.
"No, you care about her so much? Can I contact her for you?"
Chu Yuling smiled slightly, with two small dimples on her face.
"No, just ask."
Shen Long shook his head and said.
"Senior Brother Shen, you have just come back! You should be busy first! Let's meet again some other time when we are free."
Chu Yuling said, patting the giant white crane under her body with her palm, and the giant white crane flew away into the distance.
Shen Long came to Ice Silkworm Valley and issued a transmission note.
Not long after, Chen Bing walked out. She felt the powerful aura exuded by Shen Long and said in surprise: "Junior Brother Shen, you have advanced to the later stage. Congratulations!"
"Sister, is the master here?"
Shen Long asked.
"Here, master mentioned you to me some time ago, come in with me!"
Chen Bing said enthusiastically.
Shen Long followed Chen Bing in, came to Bingcan Pavilion, and met the real Bingcan.
"The bottleneck has been resolved, good!"
Bing Canzhen's face showed approval.
"Thanks to the master's guidance, otherwise the disciple would not know how many detours he would have to take."
Shen Long said gratefully.
He has been a member of the Yuling Sect for more than forty years. From the eighth level of Qi refining to the late stage of foundation building, this cultivation speed is considered fast, and the Golden Winged Wind Peng is indispensable.
"How about it? Have you found the murderer of your parents?"
Master Bingcan asked kindly.
Shen Long didn't hide anything and told the truth. This was not an ulterior secret.
"Jin Yanmen! I will help you kill them, my master, and grant your wish."
Master Bingcan's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
With his current strength, it is really not difficult to kill two monks who are in the early stage of forming pills.
"The master's kindness has been appreciated by the disciple, and he wants to kill his enemy with his own hands."
Shen Long said sincerely.
He never expected that Master Bingcan would be willing to help him destroy his enemies.
"In that case, it's up to you, but you are a little reckless this time. It is very risky to do something near the Green Python Valley. If you miss, you will be in trouble."
Master Bingcan reprimanded with a stern tone.
Shen Long did this in order to find his enemies. The reason was legitimate, and he did take a lot of risks in doing so.
"The disciple has investigated and found out that the deputy master of Jin Yan Sect has gone to attend the celebration. Master Jin Yan must stay at Jin Yan Sect. Qing Python Valley does not have particularly important resources for cultivating immortals. The chance of Master Jin Yan going to Qing Python Valley is very low. .”
Shen Long said.
He must have investigated clearly before he dared to take action near the Green Python Valley.
"I didn't expect Junior Brother Shen to be so thoughtful. I thought you would just take action."
Chen Bing praised.
"I collected a lot of information about the Jin Yan Sect and learned that the deputy master of the Jin Yan Sect went to attend the celebration, so I dared to take action."
Shen Long explained.
There are only two alchemy cultivators in the Jin Yan Sect. The deputy sect leader went to attend the celebration, and Master Jin Yan would most likely stay at the Jin Yan Sect. The Qing Python Valley did not have particularly important resources for cultivating immortals, so Shen Long dared to take action near the Qing Python Valley.
"That's it, it's still too risky. In fact, you can come back and tell me that regardless of whether they did it or not, as long as they are the remnants of the rogue cultivator who killed the Tang family's children, I will kill them."
Bing Canzhen said.
"Disciple didn't think about it that much. Fortunately, everything is safe."
Shen Long said.
How could he have imagined that Master Bingcan would be willing to take action against other pill-forming monks?
"You have gained a lot from your trip this time. Don't tell anyone about Jin Yan Sect. Bing'er, don't let it out either. Let Shen Long solve it on his own. If you need to take action as a teacher, just say, once a teacher, always a lifelong teacher. Master, your blood feud is also my teacher’s blood feud.”
The face of Master Bingcan was solemn.
"Yes, master."
Shen Long and Chen Bing agreed in unison.
"Okay, you just came back, have a good rest! Try to practice to the perfection of foundation building as soon as possible."
Bing Canzhen said.
"Yes, master."
After Shen Long agreed, he thought of something and asked curiously: "Master, where is the senior brother?"
"He is stuck in a bottleneck. He has not returned from traveling."
Bing Canzhen said.
Shen Long suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "If senior brother comes back, he will probably have advanced to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment."
"I hope so! Go back and rest!"
Master Bingcan warned.
Shen Long responded, stood up and left.
Returning to Qinglian Garden, Shen Long met Lin Shan.
"Hey, Senior Brother Shen, you are back."
Lin Shan looked happy when he saw Shen Long.
Shen Long went out to travel, and the Green Lotus Garden was left to Lin Shan to take care of. Lin Shan had his own cave. He came to visit occasionally and sent Ling Zhifu to rain the elixir.
"I just came back. Is Junior Brother Qian at the main forum?"
Shen Long asked casually.
"Yes! I'll send someone to contact him right now."
Lin Shan took out a communication disk with flashing yellow light, entered a magic formula, and made a series of gestures.
"I have sent someone to notify Senior Brother Qian. He will come over immediately after receiving the news."
Lin Shan said.
"By the way, what major events have happened in our sect and the Qin Kingdom's immortal world in the years since I left?"
Shen Long asked.
He has been away for many years and does not know the situation of the Yuling Sect and the Qin Kingdom's immortal world.
Lin Shan told the truth, the biggest thing is that Xuanyang Sect has an extra pill-forming monk. This person has Tianlinggen and has extraordinary strength.
"Advancing to the Dan Formation stage so quickly?"
Shen Long said in surprise.
Lin Shan nodded and said: "Yes! After all, it is the Tianlinggen. I study under the Yuanying monk. I don't need to worry about the resources for cultivating immortals. It is difficult to slow down the cultivation speed."
After chatting for half a quarter of an hour, Qian Dafu came over.
Qian Dafu is currently in the middle stage of foundation building. When he saw Shen Long, his face lit up with joy.
"Senior Brother Shen, you are finally back."
Qian Dafu said with a smile.
"How about it! The store hasn't closed down, right?"
Shen Long joked.
"That's not true. The income has been affected to a certain extent, but it is still profitable. This is the ledger."
Qian Dafu took out a thick book and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long flipped through a few pages and nodded.
"This is the dividend over the years, a total of 50,000 spiritual stones, and some materials for refining weapons and elixirs."
Qian Dafu took out a cyan storage bag and handed it to Shen Long.
"Fifty thousand spiritual stones! So many!"
Shen Long said in surprise.
"Not much, this is yours, take it!"
Qian Dafu said.
Their chamber of commerce does business under the banner of Shen Long, and the business is okay. Without the brand name of Shen Long, the business would not be so good.
"Then I'm not polite. Thank you for your hard work. Junior Brother Qian and Junior Brother Lin. I'll give you these bottles of beast spirit pills. You can feed them to your natal spirit beasts!"
Shen Long took out four porcelain bottles, and Lin Shan and Qian Dafu each had two bottles of beast elixir.
The two refused, but Shen Long's attitude was very firm, so they accepted it.
Qian Dafu hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide.
"Junior Brother Qian, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, speak directly."
Shen Long said.
"Senior Brother Shen, there were several senior brothers who wanted to ask you for help in refining elixirs, but since you were not around, I declined."
Qian Dafu said.
Shen Long smiled calmly and said, "You can contact them. I am free now and can help them make elixirs."
"Senior Brother Shen has just come back, don't worry, take a good rest first."
Lin Shan said.
"That's what I think too, let's do this! Senior Brother Shen, you have a good rest first, I will contact them, and I will visit them again after a while."
Qian Dafu said.
"Okay, that's it."
Shen Long agreed.
After chatting for a while, Lin Shan returned the key to Qinglian Garden to Shen Long and left with Qian Dafu.
Shen Long walked into Qinglian Pavilion and came to a secret room.
He entered the Yuling Pagoda and reached the second floor, when an astonishing wave of heat hit his face.
Shen Long blew a whistle, and the golden-winged wind peng fell from the sky and landed in front of Shen Long. The strong wind blew up a large amount of gravel.
Its size was more than twice as big as before, and Shen Long looked very small in front of it.
Shen Long took out two beast spirit pills and three hundred-year-old green wind grass and fed them to Golden Winged Feng Peng.
"Thanks to you for being able to resolve the bottleneck this time."
Shen Long said, his face full of joy.
The golden-winged Fengpeng made a clear bird call, flapped its wings, and squatted down.
Shen Long understood what it meant, jumped on the back of the golden-winged windpeng, and gently patted the golden-winged windpeng with his palm.
The golden-winged Fengpeng flapped its wings lightly, blowing a strong wind into the sky and flying high into the sky.
The golden-winged wind peng flew very fast, the strong wind roared by, and Shen Long's hair flew in the wind.
After a cup of tea, the golden-winged windpeng landed in an open area.
The fire rock beast rushed over, it was still in the middle of the second level.
The golden-winged windpeng's blood essence purity is three, and it grows the fastest. Of course, it also gets the most resources for cultivating immortals. After all, it is Shen Long's natal spiritual bird.
Shen Long jumped to the ground, fed the fire rock beast a beast spirit pill and a red ginseng, and exited the Yuling Tower.
He went to another secret room, took out his parents' spiritual tablets and an incense burner, lit a bunch of incense and inserted it in the incense burner.
"Father, mother, I won't let them go, don't worry!"
Shen Long muttered to himself, kowtowed heavily three times, and retreated.
He sat cross-legged on a blue futon, meditating and adjusting his breath.
He has been on the road and can now take a good rest.
When Shen Long reaches the perfection of foundation building, the sect can give him a pill-forming spiritual object.
