Lu Wan looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression.
Li Yitu, the old prince of Zhenyang.
Now there are rumors from the outside world that the old prince has reached the end of his life. The previous battle in the southern mountains was the last glory of his life.
After burning a lifetime of hard work, the last light bloomed.
After the First World War, the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, and he died.
But the old man was right in front of him, smacking his mouth, tasting the spirit tea.
"This tea is good. When Luo Chen, the second ancestor of the Qujiang Luo family, obtained tea trees from the southern mountains, I originally wanted to use a secret technique to trade it with him."
"It's a pity that he offended the dignitaries of the Divine City at that time. If I deal with him again, I will inevitably feel like a threat, so I guided him to become an affiliate of Xuantian Temple."
"Later, in order to refine the Dust-breaking Sword, Luo Chen also ran out of oil. It would be even more inappropriate to ask Qujiang Luo to trade tea trees."
"The nature of this tea is good, but Qujiang Luo's tea was not raised well, and the tea-making techniques are also poor."
"Now it is planted in the back mountain of Kaiyang Mountain. It will be cultivated in the future and Yan Lin will learn how to make tea. It is considered a good product."
Tu Yisanren said this.
Lu Wan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me, the old prince?"
"The old prince of Zhenyang is dead."
Tu Yi Sanren spread his hands and said: "Now there is only Elder Tu Yi from Xuantian Temple. Isn't it possible that Venerable Lu will take away my position as the elder of the outer sect?"
"..."
Lu Wan didn't respond, just looked at Tu Yisanren quietly.
The old man met Lu Wan's gaze, and after a long while, he finally sighed.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I die or not. What matters is that Old Prince Zhenyang... really has to die."
Tu Yisan said: "Your Majesty can feel at ease now. From now on, I will really draw a clear line between me and Zhenyang Prince's Mansion. From now on, I can be the elder of Xuantian Guan with peace of mind."
These words are actually extremely sincere!
Lu Wan was startled.
"You seem to have been quite concerned about Xuantian Guan's identity from the very beginning?"
"If I hadn't been born in Zhenyang Prince's Palace, I might have actually worshiped Xuantian Temple back then."
Tu Yisan sighed and said: "Your third-generation founder of Xuantian Temple, Dingye Daojun... is truly a genius, unparalleled in the world, and a proud killing talent! I wanted to be his disciple back then. , but it’s a pity that he rejected me because of my royal background.”
At this point, Tu Yisan laughed again and said, "I'm ashamed to say that when I became a Yin God, I had the illusion of becoming a disciple of Xuantian Temple when my inner demon passed through it."
"In the illusion at that time, I was also a third-generation disciple. I was a fellow disciple of the same generation as Dingye Taoist Master."
"..."
Tu Yisan's expression was a little strange.
Lu Wan glanced at him sideways and said, "You seem to be hiding something?"
Tu Yisanren said nothing.
"If you don't tell the truth, if you, a person at the pinnacle of the God Refining Realm, come to Kaiyang Mountain, I'm afraid the headmaster may not have full faith in you."
"Actually, I'm not hiding anything, it's all unimportant."
"Um?"
"Okay..." Tu Yi spread his hands and said, "Dingye Taoist Master is the most respected figure in my heart, and I regard him as a role model! But for some reason, in the inner demon illusion, she is the senior sister and I am the junior brother... "
"..." Lu Wan fell silent.
"In the end, the reason why I got rid of the illusion was that I remembered that Lord Dingye Dao was a hero of his generation." Tu Yisanren said, "Then I woke up."
"So because of this illusion, you want to join Xuantian Temple?"
"That's not the case." Tu Yi Sanren said: "It's just that I'm old, my life is short, and I feel that I can do almost all the things in the world, except for worshiping the Xuantian Temple when I was young. Think about it... if you end this obsession, even if you die, you will have less regrets."
"You still want to try to break through Zhenxuan?" Lu Wan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood, and said: "To draw a clear line with Zhenyang Prince's Palace is to cut off the worldly relationship and eliminate the worries from the Emperor of Shendu! And join Xuantian Viewing is about ending your obsessions...but hasn’t Xuantian Viewing also become your old fate?”
"I want to see the master." Tu Yisanren raised his head and said, "I wonder if the master is willing to protect me for a while under the threat of the devil?"
"My head teacher is unwilling." Lu Wan waved his hand and said.
"How come you know you don't want to do it before the headmaster has spoken?" Tu Yi Sanren said angrily.
"The headmaster has already given instructions." Lu Wan said, spreading his hands.
"You don't care if you reach the peak of spiritual refinement and achieve the True Mystery, and he protects the law?" Tu Yi Sanren said: "My lifelong practice, starting from the beginning, reaching the True Mystery, and evolving the path, the experience in it can be considered a rich treasure. .”
He felt a little helpless, and then said: "I found someone to tell my fortune..."
Lu Wan was startled when he heard this.
"How's the hexagram?"
"A sign of great misfortune, a narrow escape from death."
"Then you can't come to Kaiyang Mountain and harm our Xuantian Temple."
"The only chance of survival lies in Kaiyang Mountain." Tu Yi Sanren said.
"But Kaiyang Mountain can't protect you." Lu Wan shook his head and said, "That is a 'demon'... My family leader is not sure that he can fight the demon."
"Promise him!"
At this moment, Grandma Third Grandma finally spoke and responded: "Let him set up a cave formation at the foot of the mountain!"
"If this formation is completed, it can cut through the void and hide Kaiyang Mountain into the void, turning it into a true paradise."
"This is the secret magic formation of Chengming Tianshi Mansion. It has never been spread to outsiders. If he can set up this formation for Kaiyang Shan to protect him, it won't hurt!"
Hearing what the third ancestor's grandmother said, Lu Wan's heart moved slightly and he immediately agreed.
Tu Yisan's expression changed. After a moment, he said: "Wait for three days, I will come to set up the formation!"
——
Only after Tu Yi left did Lu Wan ask the doubts in his heart.
"If a demon attacks, can this formation stop it?" Lu Wan couldn't help but ask.
"No." Grandma Sanzu said.
"Then why do you still agree?" Lu Wan was puzzled.
"As for you, I, Xuantian Guanzhuan, are already the sixth generation headmaster, and have never been free from the threat of evil." The third ancestor's grandma said loudly: "This kid Li Yitu has been hiding for so many years. If he is not sure, he will not choose Kaiyang Mountain! Even if he chooses Prince Zhenyang’s Mansion, it will be better than here..."
"What if the devil really comes?" Lu Wan frowned.
"Run for your life!" Grandma Sanzu said, "It's Li Yitu who I want to eat, not you!"
"This..." Lu Wan whispered: "Is it possible?"
"You have analyzed it clearly. Li Yitu knows very well that the new head teacher cannot stop the evil."
Grandma Third Ancestor said: "But he still chose Kaiyang Mountain. He will bear the risk himself. If a real disaster comes, you can just run for your life."
"Moreover, seeing him achieve Zhenxuan with your own eyes will make your future path much clearer."
"Secondly, if he is truly immortal and reaches the True Mysterious Realm, he will not be able to return to Prince Zhenyang's Mansion."
"Then our Xuantian Temple will have a supreme elder who is above the level of refining gods, and you can also choose to grant him the position of deputy headmaster!"
Speaking of this, Grandma Sanzu said: "Li Yitu was a little naive when he was young, but he was quite astute. He is very different from the current King of Zhenyang who only thinks about charging into battle! There must be many things, maybe he will come This has been considered before, so you don’t have to worry too much..."
Lu Wan nodded slightly when he heard this.
Then I heard Grandma Third Grandma say solemnly: "But before that, there is something you have to deal with first."
"whats the matter?"
"This ninth-grade Taoist guy looks a little familiar."
"oh?"
"Remember the Iron-Winged Eagle King? Its eyes are specially refined."
"You mean, this person is also the work of that 'sir'?"
"It's almost the same, but compared to the Iron-Winged Eagle King, this person's methods are more secretive." Grandma Third Ancestor said, "When you came to Cangming, he tried to condense the ninth-grade Taoist foundation. After the failure, I used Yin to God sensed and probed his body, only to detect traces of prying eyes from his upper Dantian Taoist platform."
"Wait..." Lu Wan was startled for a moment and said, "He failed to break through the ninth-grade Dao foundation? Why didn't his eight lower-grade Dao foundations collapse?"
"It collapsed before, but it gradually recovered." Grandma Sanzu said, "Don't you think it's strange?"
"Oh?" Lu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Is it similar to the physical body of the Master of the Soul-Retaining Hall?"
"Not bad." Grandma Third Ancestor said: "You pretend not to know anything first and pretend to help him refine the ninth-grade Taoist foundation... Taoist Li Shou is right about one thing, the ninth-grade Taoist foundation is the worst, but Being able to condense the eight worst Taoist platforms into a Taoist foundation, this method is actually extremely impressive."
The low-grade Taoist platform is the lowest level among the Taoist platforms in the world.
This is also a path that is barely feasible for most practitioners in the world.
But even if there are geniuses who can really reach the last step with the help of inferior Taoist platform, they will basically stop at the eighth level of Taoji realm.
As for the combination of them into a Taoist base, it sounds a bit ugly...the eight low-grade Taoist platforms are of such inferior quality that the mud cannot support the wall.
But the method of the ninth-level Taoist foundation may be able to turn decay into magic, build a wall out of mud, and forge a room.
For Lu Wan, this method may also have an analogy effect.
——
Wu Yang, forty-eight years old, is at the eighth level of the Daoji Realm.
The eight Taoist platforms are all inferior.
Rare in the world!
Logically speaking, even if there are low-level cultivators who have no choice but to choose the lower level, in this realm, after they have gone far, they have more choices.
For example, those in the middle level of Daoji Realm already possess the abilities of three or five lower Dao platforms.
From then on, it may not be difficult to turn to the middle-level Taoist method.
For example, Chu Zhou and others chose to join the army, and in the imperial army, they sought the secrets of middle-level Taoism and even high-level Taoism.
But this man insisted on lower-grade Taoist platforms and built eight Taoist platforms in a row.
"Venerable Lu..."
Wu Yang stood up, looked at the young man in front of him, and bowed to salute.
He knew that he was from a humble background, and his family only had the skills to build a low-level Taoist platform.
The person in front of him is the true successor of the No. 1 Sect of the Ziyang Region. In just a short period of time, he has become famous among the great cadres.
But today Xuantian Guan seems to be interested in taking him in.
From then on, it seems that he is also expected to become a member of Xuantian Guan.
He couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about it.
This made him even more grateful to the Taoist Li Shou who brought him from the Eighth Mountain to the Seventh Mountain to Master Lu.
"You said before that when you were young, you met an unknown Taoist who taught you the skills and gave you guidance for three months to get you started. Then he drifted away."
Lu Wan said calmly: "After that, you have reached the point where you have perfected your Qi refining, and there is no way forward. However, you unexpectedly met your dying mentor, got his recommendation, and worshiped the sect. You practiced in seclusion for twenty years until you completed the eight exercises." Daotai?"
"Exactly..."
Wu Yang whispered: "After completing the eight Taoist platforms, I can no longer go further in the Taoist realm, so I went out to practice."
He said this with a somewhat complicated expression.
I thought that having built eight Taoist platforms, I was already a leader in the Taoist realm, enough to become the overlord of a party.
But I never thought that the eight inferior Taoist platforms would be the most inferior Taoist platforms!
Among the eighth level of Daoji Realm, there is probably no one weaker than him.
Moreover, he had been in seclusion for twenty years, concentrating only on building the Taoist platform and never practiced the art of attacking.
If he really wanted to fight, maybe someone who was born in the first stage of Daoji in Xuantian Temple could kill him with one sword.
But when I think about it more carefully, I realize that most of my old acquaintances who were struggling at the bottom have died in the process of seeking the truth.
Some of them are still unable to build a Taoist platform and are stuck in the realm of refining Qi, with no hope in this life.
There are a small number of lower-grade Taoist platforms, no more than one or two.
The most outstanding among them was a figure who, after casting two low-level Taoist platforms, found a way to create a medium-level Taoist platform and now has three Taoist platforms.
From this point of view, the group of low-level Taoist friends who jointly sought the Tao eventually reached a higher level on their own.
Unfortunately, he vaguely felt that he had reached the end.
"I have checked your details, and all the monks who are studying here recognize you from twenty years ago."
When Lu Wan said this, he felt quite strange in his heart.
He has the magical power to destroy delusion, but he had talked with Wu Yang before and found no trace of the other party lying.
So at that time, he let down his guard against Wu Yang.
Until this time, Grandma Sanzu mentioned that it was most likely that gentleman behind Wu Yang.
Thinking about it carefully, maybe Wu Yang really wasn't lying.
"The sect you belong to has not been found so far." Lu Wan suddenly said.
"I don't know either..."
Wu Yang sighed: "After twenty years of seclusion, the sect was in ruins, and all the sect members disappeared... Then I met the imperial recruitment order from the Zhenyang Prince's Palace."
At that time, he had already left the border and learned that ten years ago, the Twenty-Four Mountain Defense Line was successfully constructed.
He thought that maybe his fellow disciples back then were all recruited to resist the southern mountains.
So he also went there.
"..."
Lu Wan probably had a judgment in his mind.
The Lord of Soul-Jieting Hall was a failed experiment, but he was a successful experiment in making the cauldron.
Wu Yang is also a test subject, but only a test subject in the Daoji realm.
Twenty years ago, when Wu Yang found the so-called sect and went into seclusion, he was a chess piece that was clearly manipulated.
This is an experiment to try out the ninth grade Taoist foundation.
But it hasn't succeeded yet, and it doesn't seem to have failed yet.
Lu Wan looked at this cultivator who had been in seclusion for twenty years, seemed a bit taciturn, and seemed a bit dull and awkward. He sighed in his heart and felt a little pity.
"All eight of your Taoist platforms have been completed. To this day, are you sure that they will be combined into Taoist foundations?"
"No." Wu Yang whispered: "I have tried many times, but there is always a trace missing... Logically speaking, there is no problem with my Dao Foundation Condensation method."
"If you become a Daoji again today, I will personally protect you."
Lu Wan said this: "Maybe I can help you."
When Wu Yang heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Xuantian Temple is the number one sect in the Ziyang Region. I have been admiring his name for a long time since the beginning of my cultivation. I will definitely be able to achieve it."
