Chihu, the island in the middle of the lake.
Zhang Shenling looked at the blank scroll in front of him until a painting appeared on it for no reason.
It was a land of continuous rain, with violent storms like waterfalls, and black lines intertwined among them. Among the thousands of water droplets, only one was particularly dazzling.
"What's going on again?" Zhang Yuxian, who was not far away, looked over in surprise. He knew this scroll and what kind of power it had.
"Shui Che appeared in Qingdu Mountain."
"What did that boy Zhang Qing tell you?" Zhang Yuxian immediately thought of the news from more than a year ago.
Zhang Shenling nodded, but Zhang Yuxian was still confused, "Why did Shui Che appear there? Does he want to kill Gu Danyun?"
The silent Zhang Shenling had no answer this time. Do you still remember that I asked you to find Shui Che?
More than half a year ago, Zhang Yuxian entered Yunmengze, a vast and sparsely populated swampland, and found many things, but he could not find Shuiqe.
"I didn't find Shui Che, but I found that there are many casual cultivators in those places who use spiritual roots as materials to refine special elixirs and trade them with demons. There are even monks who are not good at refining elixirs and directly capture spiritual beings. Low-level monks or mortals with roots for demons to devour.”
When he said this, Zhang Yuxian's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Indeed, using people with spiritual roots to refine human elixirs is a demonic heretic among monks. I'm thinking that you can discover this kind of thing in such a short time. Would Shui Che know nothing about it after being in it for so many years?"
"Yun Mengze, the number one in refining weapons is Yan Baoquan of the Jinlan Sect, the number one in forming formations is He Zhen of the Jinlan Sect, the number one in making talismans is Zhao Chou'er of the Zhao family, and the one who is unparalleled in alchemy is Shui Che of the Shui family."
"The alchemy inheritance of Duanshui Danxiu is not as powerful as we thought. It was Shui Che who added the most critical and craziest part to it, which led to Duanshui Danxiu."
"He is different from Chai Yao. Chai Yao relied on the gun, but he understood the technique on his own."
"He is much better than Yun Yi in refining alchemy."
Zhang Yuxian took a sharp breath of cold air, "You're not saying that he plans to refine the ancient elixir cloud into elixirs, are you?"
He could think with his toes that if such a thing really happened, the Gu family would fight the Shui family to death at all costs.
Zhang Shenling shook his head, "Not necessarily. If he wants to refine the human elixir, in addition to the ancient elixir cloud itself, there are also the Jinlan Sect and us. To be honest, he should... not dare."
"This madman!" Zhang Yuxian couldn't help but whisper. If it really involves the road, the Shui family probably won't pay attention to other people's attitudes.
Outside the window, a red stream of light flew over and landed in Zhang Shenling's hand.
"Zhao Jingmu wants me to go to the south, where the fire will burn the earth dragon."
"Can it be done?"
Zhang Shenling nodded, "If you just want to report that kind of defense, it's not a big problem. Zhao Jingmu wrote a letter to clarify this matter more than half a year ago."
"but……"
Zhang Shenling lowered his head and looked at the scroll in front of him. The rainy world above was getting smaller and smaller, and what was replaced in the center was thousands of thunderous golden lights.
In the boundless sky, the golden sea of thunder crashed downwards without waiting, and under the sea of thunder, there was a majestic and glorious palace.
Despite the crazy bombardment of thunder, the palace always stood in the sea of clouds. Every bombardment of golden light would make the palace dazzling for a moment, and then even brighter.
"What did the Jinlan Sect get in the south? That old guy actually started copying Tianmen." Zhang Shenling sighed, feeling that time was not waiting for him.
Shaking their heads, the two of them looked at the scroll. After just a few breaths, they felt their eyes stinging and had to put the scroll away.
"Will he succeed?"
"I don't know. There was no success in Yunmeng Pavilion back then. I'm not sure whether he created history or became history."
Zhang Shenling came to the window and said, "I have to go to the south. During this time, you should keep an eye on Ancestor Shenxun. Don't let him get too anxious. The worst is that it will take a few years for the Immortal Fire to give birth to another Dao Yun."
"But before that, I have to go north first."
In the palm of the hand behind his back, a flame was quietly crushed, and the sporadic flames swayed in the void for a moment and then extinguished.
Qingdu Mountain.
Thousands of ghosts and black mist roared into the sky, and both mortals and monks below felt the greed and bloodthirsty desire conveyed by those ghosts.
"What?"
"I want to refine an elixir from that golden lotus you planted. Are you willing to give it to me?"
The sound of clear water spreads out calmly like water waves, but it stirs up huge waves in the distance.
"Alchemy?" Countless people thought of this word that seemed unexpected but became horrifying at this moment. The Shui family actually wanted to refine the golden lotus grown by the Gu family into an elixir?
Gu Danyun fell silent, and then made a hehe sound in his mouth. As the rain curtain spread, the sneer became louder and louder.
"Hahahahaha..."
"You want this golden lotus from me? Then it depends on whether you have the ability to take it away!"
In the sky, countless trees were growing wildly. As the golden lotus of the Gu family's mortal method, Gu Danyun practiced a wood-attribute method.
"With the wood attribute, you are more suitable for that pill than anyone else."
In the rain curtain, Shui Che pointed out, the purple stars in his pupils bloomed, and thousands of thunder and lightning roared covering the sky, not only smashing the spell of Gu Danyun, but also suppressing the ghosts in the formation to tremble.
Ghosts did not dare to wreak havoc easily, and the dim world became clear for a short time.
"My purpose is to prevent you from self-destruction. If I want to kill you, what's the difficulty for me?"
Seeing the thunder shining around the towering mountain peak, Zhang Qing and Jiang Baiyi, who were dozens of miles away, looked at each other and couldn't help but feel chills running down their backs.
"Is it really possible to make elixirs by growing golden lotuses?"
Zhang Qing nodded, "It is said that on the edge of the Demon Daze, there are evil cultivators who specialize in capturing mortal children with spiritual roots to refine human elixirs."
"Those evil cultivators use spiritual roots to make elixirs, while this water-breaking elixir cultivator uses golden lotus to make elixirs. In essence, there is no difference."
Jiang Baiyi said in a serious tone, "If he succeeds, I'm afraid many people in Yun Mengze will follow suit. Do the Shui family really dare to do this?"
"They are originally a group of families who control ghosts. How do you expect them to be benevolent?" Zhang Qing sneered.
When the chaos just ended two hundred years ago, there were not many naturally born ghosts in the entire Yunmengze. Who among the four clans didn't know what means the Shui family used to separate Yunmengze from the other families?
The darkness under the turmoil is just buried now.
"Let's go. The battle for Golden Lotus should be over soon. If Shui Che doesn't personally take action during the foundation building, it probably won't last long. We have to hurry up."
Looking at the thousands of ghosts above their heads, Zhang Qing and the two had no choice but to run towards Qingdu Mountain from the ground.
