Upon seeing this, Qin Ziling stretched out his hand toward it, and the water element's real power burst out, forming a giant hand with water ripples in the air, and slapped it hard on the head.
Then, before the golden-crowned crane could recover, the giant hand with water ripples had grabbed its long neck, and then Qin Ziling flew down on its back with Zuo Cong.
When the golden-crowned crane saw someone riding on its back, it spread its wings and violently stirred up, soaring into the sky, and then performed difficult movements in the air, hoping to knock the person off its back.
But how could Qin Ziling do what it wanted?
A giant hand with concentrated water power still grabbed its neck, then raised an iron fist and punched its head several times.
The golden-crowned crane staggered in the air in pain, and wanted to resist a few times. After a few more iron fists, he became completely honest.
At the foot of the mountain, Elder Fang and others looked at the scene in the sky, dumbfounded, and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
After a long time, Elder Fang and others secretly swallowed their saliva, thinking, no wonder those who can be brothers with the sect leader are really fierce!
The top of Jinjian Peak looks broader and more majestic than Qin Ziling imagined.
The top of the mountain seemed to have been flattened with a giant sword. A magnificent palace stood on the flat ground on the top of the mountain, reaching into the sky, surrounded by an empty square.
"A great sect is a great sect. Even though it has been defeated, its heritage is far beyond what those families in Fangshu City can compare with."
Qin Ziling sighed in his heart, and was about to press the golden-crowned crane's head down and signal it to land in front of the palace, when he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked down at the entrance of the palace. .
I saw a short, fat, wrinkled, and white-haired old man standing at the door of the palace. He looked like he was old and dying.
But in Qin Ziling's eyes, the old man was just an unsheathed sword.
Once the sword is taken out of its sheath, it will be sharp and unstoppable.
"Who is this? Just standing casually below, but it gives me the feeling that it is much more powerful than Long Xiaotian! Could it be Jianbailou?" Qin Ziling's heart jumped suddenly.
"Master!" At this moment, Feng Ziluo flew down in front of the old man and bowed slightly.
Seeing that it was indeed Jianbai Tower, Qin Ziling did not dare to neglect, and jumped down from the golden-crowned crane with Zuo Cong.
"Qin Feng and his disciple Zuo Cong have met Senior Jian." Qin Ziling bowed and saluted, while Zuo Cong was already kneeling on the ground to bow to Jian Bailou in a sensible manner.
"No wonder Ziluo kept thinking about you after he came back and mentioned you many times. You are indeed a great hero among people!" Jian Bailou said while stroking his beard. His eyes looked at Qin Ziling like two sharp swords, trying to rip him apart. open.
"Senior Jian is too praised." Qin Ziling said humbly, but secretly murmured in his heart, I don't like that, why are you thinking about me?
"You are a great qi refiner who is in the realm of true power of the water system, but your true power is stronger than the early stage of true energy. Based on this alone, you are worthy of being praised as a dragon hero among me, not to mention your actual age. Smaller than you think on the surface." Jian Bailou said, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Senior indeed has piercing eyes." Qin Ziling quickly bowed to flatter him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought to myself, it seems that the pattern on my chest coupled with my powerful soul, once I gather my energy and blood, even if I am as powerful as Jian Bailou, I will not be able to see that my strongest strength is actually martial arts. The true power of the wood element, covered by the true power of the water element, and coupled with the help of the soul, can also escape his perception.
"Haha! You can talk more than Ziluo." Jian Bailou laughed, and then said: "Let's go into the palace and talk."
Everyone entered the main hall and the guests and hosts took their seats.
In addition to Jian Bailou's master and apprentice, the two elders who just welcomed the guests together, and two more elders were present in the hall.
Of these four elders, except for one who had a black mole on his chin and looked younger than Feng Ziluo, the others were all older than him.
These four elders all have late-stage cultivation of true power and have strong true power.
"Ziluo has already told me about the Dragon Vein Land. Our Golden Sword Sect owes you a great debt of gratitude!" Jian Bailou said.
"Senior Jian's words are serious. It's thanks to the hard work of Sect Leader Feng and others that I got a big advantage." Qin Ziling said quickly.
"We, the Golden Sword Sect, have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances, so you don't have to be humble." Jian Bailou waved his hand, and then changed the topic: "I don't think people like you, Qin Xiaoyou, would come to our Golden Sword Mountain for no reason. If you have anything to say, just tell us, as long as we Whatever the Golden Sword Sect can do, it will never refuse.”
Qin Ziling saw that Jian Bailou was forthright in speaking and doing things without being pretentious at all. He couldn't help but feel very fond of him. He hesitated and said, "Junior does have something to ask for, but it's not urgent. Let's put it aside first. I want to go first." Ask a question."
"You ask." Jian Bailou nodded.
"I heard that my senior was attacked by a magic master in his early years and was seriously injured. Now that he is older, he urgently needs to turn into Chi's flesh and blood to heal his injuries and strengthen his vitality. But I see that the condition of senior's vitality is not very good. Could it be that Is it useless to turn Chi into flesh and blood?" Qin Ziling asked.
Jianbailou is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Jin Jian Sect. With him, the Jin Jian Sect can continue to stand tall.
Only then could Qin Ziling rest assured that Zuo Cong could learn Taoism and practice in the Golden Sword Sect.
As soon as Qin Ziling said these words, Jian Bailou's pair of white eyebrows twitched, and a look of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, while Feng Ziluo and others all looked sad and angry.
The elder Fang was obviously a person with a relatively hot temper. He soon couldn't hold back his grief and anger and said, "It's not because Biyun Sect and Jinlie Sect are too sinister and shameless. Knowing that the master has the flesh and blood to help him, the injury is inevitable." After relenting, they joined forces to bully him and forced his uncle to take action, so that his old injury relapsed and he returned to his original state!"
"Biyun Sect is currently one of the two major Qi Refining Dao sects in Xiyun Prefecture, and Jinlie Sect is one of the three major martial arts sects in Xiyun Prefecture. Do they ignore the reputation and prestige of their own sects? They actually joined forces to bully them for no reason. People?" Qin Ziling's eyelids twitched and he asked.
"Biyun Sect and Jin Lie Sect claim to be the leaders of Xiyunzhou Qi Refining Dao Sect and Martial Arts Sect. They cherish their fame and wings, so how can they not abandon their own reputation and prestige? They naturally thought of excuses before joining forces to bully them. !" Elder Fang said with an angry and disdainful expression.
"How do you say this?" Qin Ziling asked again.
"Hmph, it's okay that Fellow Daoist Qin didn't ask, but I get more and more annoyed when you ask." Elder Fang looked angry, his beard trembling, "Have you ever heard about the disappearance of Jinlie Sect elder Long Xiaotian?"
"Long Xiaotian is missing? He is a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining!" Qin Ziling looked surprised.
This surprise was real surprise, of course not surprise about Long Xiaotian's disappearance, but surprise that this incident was actually connected with Jian Bailou's injury again.
"Precisely because Long Xiaotian is a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, his disappearance is very abnormal. In all likelihood, he has been attacked and killed. Originally, whether Long Xiaotian died or not was none of our business, but as a result, this dragon Xiaotian just happened to fly over Jinliao County on a bloody goshawk before he disappeared, and his uncle happened to have the strength to suppress Long Xiaotian." Elder Fang said.
"So, they think it was Senior Jian who attacked and killed Long Xiaotian?" Qin Ziling's expression became indescribably complicated.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether my master attacked and killed Long Xiaotian. What's important is just an excuse to beat my master back to his original form. In fact, it seems that we made a miscalculation. We didn't expect that people's hearts can be so sinister. But that's right, my master is so evil. Characters, how could they give Master a chance!" Feng Ziluo said, with an icy chill exuding from his body.
"Haha, actually they are overthinking. Even if I have the help of Hua Chi's flesh and blood, I will only be able to survive for a few more years. How can I have the chance to set foot in the realm of Fa Yuan!" A trace of ridicule appeared on Jian Bailou's face.
"But they won't give Master any chance. Once Master becomes Grandmaster and has a sword in his hand, who in the entire Xiyun Prefecture will be your opponent? Long Xiaotian happens to be missing, so naturally the blame will be placed on Master first!" Fengzi Luo said, the chill on his body getting stronger.
"What about Biyun Sect?" Qin Ziling asked with a frown, feeling slightly sorry.
"The Biyun Sect's reasons are even more ridiculous and hypocritical. They said that I killed Shen Yan, but since everyone had agreed beforehand, they didn't ask further questions. They just asked me to return the things that Shen Yan had before, so that I could remember them. "Feng Ziluo replied.
"Things before the application of derivatives?" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly.
Shen Yan's Xuantian Yunwu Flag was collected by him.
"What they want is not only the Xuantian Yunwu Flag but also a trumped-up Yunyu Sword." Feng Ziluo sneered.
"It is indeed insidious and hypocritical!" Qin Ziling's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"I just hate that my level is too low, and I was forced to come to my door by a team of people, but there was nothing I could do, and finally forced the master to take action!" Feng Ziluo said with a look of self-blame.
"They are just here for me, what does it have to do with you!" Jian Bailou waved his hand, then his eyes fell on Qin Ziling again, and said: "Little friend Qin can talk about you now. Don't worry, although my old injury has relapsed, It will still be no problem if I hold on for another two or three years, and the sword in my hand will still be useful."
"I'm here this time for my disciple Zuo Cong." Qin Ziling touched Zuo Cong's head and said, "Zuo Cong, come up and give Senior Jian a good look."
"Yes, Master." Zuo Cong stood up and bowed to Qin Ziling, then walked to Jianbailou.
Jian Bailou's eyes first fell on Zuo Cong with a hint of doubt, but soon became sharper, and he reached out and grabbed Zuo Cong's wrist.
"The gold element is a single spiritual root, and it is much better than the other four spiritual roots." Jian Bailou clasped Zuo Cong's wrist and shook it slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"The gold element has a single spiritual root, and it is much better than the other four spiritual roots!" Feng Ziluo and others were shocked when they heard this and stood up suddenly.
Everyone has five spiritual roots. The so-called single spiritual root means that one of the spiritual roots is so powerful that it overwhelms the other four spiritual roots.
Therefore, a single spiritual root also has advantages and disadvantages. The more a single spiritual root outperforms other spiritual roots, the better the quality will be and the easier it will be to cultivate.
"Sure enough!" Feng Ziluo and others also started to investigate, and they quickly came to a conclusion, with shock and envy on their faces.
"Do you want us to pass on the 'Golden Snake Geng Golden Technique' to Zuo Cong?" Soon, Jian Bailou said.
"That's right." Qin Ziling nodded.
"This is not possible, the law cannot be spread to outsiders. Zuo Cong cannot teach the 'Golden Snake Geng Golden Technique' unless he is a disciple of my Golden Sword Sect." Seeing Qin Ziling nodding, the four elders' expressions changed slightly and they all blurted out.
Feng Ziluo showed a hint of embarrassment, but did not speak.
"Young friend Qin has been kind to our Golden Sword Sect, and our Golden Sword Sect has always repaid kindness and revenge! Therefore, the 'Golden Snake Geng Golden Jue' can be passed on to Zuo Cong, and he can still follow you without being a disciple of my Golden Sword Sect." Jian Bailou said. road.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle Master!"
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, but Feng Ziluo still did not speak.
"Don't interrupt, just listen to what I have to say." Jian Bailou waved his hand to stop Elder Fang and others, and continued: "But the Golden Sword Sect has ancestral teachings, and the law cannot be passed on to others! Therefore, the laws of the Fayuan realm cannot be passed on to others, and I can only pass them on to others. A technique below Zuo Cong's Fayuan realm! And this technique only reaches Zuo Cong and cannot be taught to anyone else."
"Uncle!"
"Uncle Master!"
Elder Fang and others had a hint of unwillingness on their faces when they heard this, and they all opened their mouths to persuade.
"Are you satisfied, little friend Qin? However, Zuo Cong is extremely talented and there should still be hope of entering the realm of Fa Yuan in the future. If little friend Qin is willing to give up his love, it would be best for him to join my Golden Sword Sect." Jian Bailou ignored Elder Fang and others. Instead, he looked at Qin Ziling and said.
"The law is not spread to the outside world, so that's the saying! No wonder the 'Bi Mu Evergreen Technique' and 'Black Snake Xuan Shui Technique' I obtained do not have the Fa Yuan realm and the techniques behind it. It seems that I want to learn Fa Yuan In order to master the cultivation method of the realm, unless you take it by force, you must become a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect.
The Jin Jian Sect's principles of doing things are more to my liking. Jian Bai Lou is a person who separates grudges from grudges and is forthright in doing things. Moreover, he said that it would be no problem for him to last two or three years. In two or three years, even if I am not sure of defeating the Grandmaster, I will definitely have the strength to match the Grandmaster. "Qin Ziling looked at Jianbailou, silent, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
Jian Bailou did not urge, but waited quietly.
Soon, Qin Ziling made a decision.
"Senior Jian, to be honest, I am a casual cultivator. I accidentally acquired a water-based skill before embarking on the path of cultivation. Therefore, the problem of Zuo Cong's disciple is actually my personal problem. Since Senior Jian It is his destiny to value Zuo Cong, and I am willing to let him join the Golden Sword Sect."
The calm-looking Jian Bailou's expression finally changed after hearing this, while Elder Fang and others could not hide their joy.
"However, during this trip, besides Zuo Cong, I also want to learn the 'Golden Snake Geng Golden Technique'." Qin Ziling said immediately.
"Your water element power is already extremely strong, and I'm afraid it has reached the limit of improvement. Gold generates water, and using the metal element technique to break the limit is one way.
However, even if you can break the limit, the improvement is limited, and it will waste a lot of time and resources. In your situation, it is better to condense your true energy as soon as possible and only focus on practicing water-based techniques. "Jian Bailou thought for a while and persuaded.
"Senior said yes, but I always want to try it." Qin Ziling said.
"Since you are determined to do so, then I can teach you the 'Golden Snake Geng Gold Technique' before the Fa Yuan realm. After you have developed the true power of Geng Gold, I can also allow you to enter the Seven Kills Sword Cave. As for whether you can comprehend it." When it comes to the 'Seven Killing Sword Art', it depends on your own opportunities." Jian Bailou said simply.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle Master!"
Upon hearing this, all the elders' expressions changed drastically. Even Feng Ziluo's eyelids twitched several times, but they still did not speak.
Jian Bailou raised his hand to stop Elder Fang and others, his eyes fell on Qin Ziling like swords, and said: "But I hope that little friend Qin can agree to my three conditions."
"Senior, please speak." Qin Ziling said seriously.
"One, I hope you can be my registered disciple."
"no problem."
"Second, I hope you can be named an elder in the Golden Sword Sect. Of course, you are only my registered disciple. You are not considered a formal disciple of the Golden Sword Sect. This elder can only be regarded as a guest. You can come and go freely and are not restricted by the sect's rules."
"That's no problem." Qin Ziling replied, a hint of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.
"Third, I solemnly swear not to pass on the 'Golden Snake Geng Golden Technique' to anyone unless permitted by the Golden Sword Sect."
"Of course!" Qin Ziling replied without hesitation.
"Since Little Friend Qin has agreed, it would be better to choose a different date. Let's hold a master apprenticeship ceremony today. You will worship me as your teacher and be my registered disciple, while Zuo Cong will worship Feng Ziluo as your master and officially enter the Golden Sword Sect." Bai Lou said.
After hearing this, the elders couldn't help but spoke again to try to dissuade him.
"You don't have to say anything, I've made up my mind!" Jian Bailou waved his hand to interrupt again.
Seeing Jian Bailou's resolute attitude, everyone had no choice but to obey.
On that day, Zuo Cong formally became a disciple and worshiped the ancestral tablets of the Golden Sword Sect. The ceremony was grand and solemn.
Qin Ziling also became a master and was granted the title of elder, but the ceremony was relatively simple.
Qin Ziling respectfully served tea to Jianbailou and called him teacher. Jian Bailou gave Qin Ziling a flying sword with dark golden light and the size of a little finger, named Wujin Sword. It is a magic weapon-level flying sword and a gold medal of sword talisman representing the identity of the elder Keqing.
Elder Fang and others were very happy for Zuo Cong to join the Golden Sword Sect, but for Jianbailou to accept Qin Ziling as a registered disciple, grant him the position of Elder Keqing, give him the Wujin Sword, and then teach him the "Golden Snake Geng Golden Technique" ", and even allowed him to enter the "Seven Killing Sword Cave" to learn the sword art, which was quite criticized.
It's just that Jianbailou is the supreme elder of Jinjian Sect, with a transcendent and supreme status. Elder Fang and others can't object to what he decides.
"You are profound in the water system. It must not be difficult for you to get started with the 'Golden Snake Geng Golden Technique'. It's just that you need to practice it and condense your true power, but it still takes some time.
Jinjian Mountain has many mineral veins and is full of metal energy. If you have nothing else important to do, you can stay in Jinjian Mountain for a few more days. It will be of great benefit to you in obtaining the truth. This is a bottle of Xuanjin pills. Take one pill every other day to help you get the truth and build up your strength as soon as possible. If you have any doubts about cultivation, you can always come and ask me for advice. "
In a quaint wooden house in the back mountain, where the Taishang Elder hid in cultivation, Jianbailou taught Qin Ziling the "Golden Snake Geng Jin Jue", and gave special instructions and a bottle of elixir.
"Thank you, teacher. I have no other important matters for the time being. I will practice in Jinjian Mountain for a while longer." Qin Ziling took the pill bottle and bowed slightly.
"Okay then, go ahead. If you need anything, come and find me here." Jian Bailou nodded.
Qin Ziling bowed slightly again, left the wooden house on the back mountain, and walked all the way to a simple courtyard halfway up the mountain.
This is the residence arranged by Jin Jian Sect for Qin Ziling, the guest elder.
"Elder Qin, you are back!" Qin Ziling had just walked to the door of the courtyard when a servant opened the door and saluted respectfully.
The largest number of people on Jinjian Mountain are not the inner and outer disciples, but the servants.
Some of these miscellaneous servants were brought by the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect, and some were selected by the Golden Sword Sect themselves from the secular world.
Qin Ziling is the elder of the guest minister, so the Jinjian Sect naturally arranged for him to have servants to look after his house and call his orders.
"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded slightly, entered the door, sat down at a pavilion in the backyard, and then took out the pill bottle containing Xuanjin Pills.
"The teacher is decisive and courageous in doing things, and he also has foresight. He showed favor to me in this way, not only out of kindness, but also to win over me and leave an extra way out for the future.
Elder Fang and the others are much worse. At this time, they still look like misers. I don’t even think about it, once the teacher falls, how much of the Golden Sword Sect’s things can be retained?
However, even if the teacher had the courage and foresight, he would never have imagined that even though my current strength is inferior to that of the Grandmaster, it would be impossible for the Grandmaster to kill me if I really used all my cards.
He accepted me as a registered disciple and gave me the identity of a guest elder. In fact, he found a big helper for the Golden Sword Sect. It is even less likely that he would have thought that I still have chili meat stored in my body, and if I take it out, it can help him again.
However, turning into chicken meat is no small matter. Anyway, the teacher can still support it for two or three years, so I will wait and see for a while. If the teacher and the Golden Sword Sect are really worthy of my trust, they will take out some chili meat and truly recognize this master. In this way, the teacher and I, secretly and openly, will join forces, and even the master will have nothing to fear. "
Qin Ziling turned his head while looking at the pill bottles.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ziling opened the elixir bottle, took out a Xuanjin pill and drank it, then closed his eyes and practiced the "Golden Snake Gengjin Jue".
…
In the blink of an eye, Qin Ziling stayed in Jinjian Sect for ten days.
In the past ten days, Qin Ziling went to the back mountain almost every day to ask Jianbailou about some confusion about the way of refining Qi, and he gained a lot.
Qin Ziling's eccentric thoughts about breaking away from the constraints of this world, as well as some experiences from the old devil Li Mo, also gave Jian Bailou some inspiration when discussing the way of refining Qi, allowing him to understand Qin Ziling, a registered disciple. Be more appreciative and caring.
Later, every time Qin Ziling came to him for advice, Jianbailou specially ordered people to invite Feng Ziluo to listen.
Feng Ziluo didn't take it seriously at first, but then his eyes changed when he saw Qin Ziling. He even regretted privately with Jian Bailou that Qin Ziling majored in water Taoism. If he were in gold Taoism, his achievements would not be inferior to his.
On this day, it was already night.
In the back mountain, the lights are still on in the quaint wooden houses.
"Junior Brother Qin, no wonder your water power has been so pure and strong through cultivation. Your views on Qi refining are truly unique and thought-provoking. I feel so unbelievable!" Feng Ziluo sat cross-legged on the grass in the courtyard behind the wooden house. Sitting there, he looked at Qin Ziling and sighed.
"Haha, it's rare for you Ziluo to sigh at yourself. My teacher remembers that you are the most arrogant and arrogant character, and you don't accept anyone!" Jian Bailou pointed at Feng Ziluo and said with a smile.
"In the past, when I was young and frivolous, I always thought that with a sword in my hand, I could wield it to the end of the world and be invincible. Now that I have passed the age and have experienced so much, the disciple no longer dares to be so arrogant and arrogant, let alone the master. Even more so in front of Junior Brother Qin," Feng Ziluo said.
"How can a sword cultivator not have the spirit to move forward without any other in the world? Senior Brother Feng can restrain his edge in his actions, but the edge in his heart must not be erased, otherwise it will be harmful to your practice!" Qin Ziling said with a stern expression.
When Jian Bailou heard this, a pair of old, seemingly turbid eyes suddenly flashed with lightning, while Feng Ziluo was shocked, and his whole body suddenly straightened up, his momentum soaring to the sky, like a sharp sword unsheathed, with a sharp edge.
But soon, this edge dimmed.
"You are right, but destiny plays tricks on people. With my current situation, what can I do even if I have spirit in my heart? Fortunately, Junior Brother Qin sent Zuo Cong. This kid is very talented. I'm afraid the Golden Sword Sect will have to look at him in the future. !" Feng Ziluo said.
Hearing this, Jian Bailou glanced at Feng Ziluo and moved his lips, but finally sighed deeply and looked up at the night sky without saying a word for a long time.
During the battle in the Dragon Vein Land, Feng Ziluo exerted his true power with all his strength. The death energy of the netherworld had penetrated deeper and deeper into the meridians and organs. Even if he ate some Hua Chi flesh and blood after returning, he could only stabilize his cultivation. If he wanted to go further, just follow He wants to break through like a great master.
It's very difficult! Almost impossible!
"There is no unstoppable path for man. Our Qi Refining Dao Sect is going against the will of Heaven. We will encounter countless difficulties. How can Brother Feng give up on himself? We should use the sword in our hands to cut through thorns and thorns and move forward indomitably!" Qin Zilingchen said the voice.
As he spoke, a cold light flashed through the depths of Qin Ziling's eyes.
Almost at the same time, Jian Bailou looked up at the sky, his eyes flashed with lightning, and his body had a powerful aura like a sharp sword piercing the night.
"Pah! Pah!"
There was applause in the surrounding jungle outside the wooden house.
The surrounding jungle was filled with black mist at some unknown time, and the black mist was pouring into the wooden house from all directions, as if it was completely covering the entire wooden house and the sky above it.
"There is no unstoppable path for man, that's so well said, so well said!" There was a voice of admiration.
Then the black mist rippled, and three people walked out of it.
The three of them were all dressed in black, with ferocious masks on their faces.
The black clothes are embroidered with two skulls side by side.
The skull has a pair of dark eyes with fire dancing in it. Not only is it very strange in the dark night, but it also seems to be able to stir people's souls. Just one look at it makes it seem as if the whole person is about to be sucked into the endless abyss.
"Dark Envoy!" Jian Bailou slowly stood up, and the black mist that was originally surging in the direction of the wooden house suddenly seemed to be slapped by an invisible force and rolled back one after another.
"Jianbai Tower is indeed well-deserved!" The man in black in the middle said sadly.
"It's a well-deserved reputation. But isn't your palace master here? If only the three of you are here, it seems that you are overestimating yourselves." Jian Bailou said coldly.
