The next day, Lingxiao Residence, Garden.
Qingying followed Sister Wan'er to the military camp but did not return.
Early in the morning, Chu Chen took Guang Geng Sheng alone to do morning lessons, chant sutras and practice, and cultivate his body and mind.
After some practice, Guang Gengsheng was also full of energy, like a dragon and a tiger.
Unknowingly, it has been almost three years since Guang Gengsheng became a disciple of Chu Chen. He used to be a skinny and dark boy, but after these years of practice, he has strong bones. Although he is only fifteen years old, his figure is as tall and straight as an adult man. , in full bloom and full of vitality.
Chu Chen smiled and asked casually:
"Did you gain anything from your training the past few days?"
"Of course."
Guang Gengsheng was quite happy and excited when he talked about this:
"The spell [Earth Talisman] taught by Master was so useful. I found various spiritual materials. Some of the precious spiritual materials were guarded by powerful beasts and monsters. We didn't dare to use them... In the end, six of our classmates each got a share. Four to five hundred jade coins, a lot of harvest.”
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but recall the past when he, Wang Ping, and Xiucai went to Jiuling Mountain to hunt for treasures. At that time, their mood was exactly the same as that of his apprentice Guang Gengsheng at the moment.
The only difference was that at that time, he quickly broke through to the eighth level of Taoism and entered the Department of Ghosts and Gods as an Immortal.
Disciple Guang Geng is a little behind on his root strength and his cultivation speed is slow. He is still a little short of reaching the eighth level of Taoist cultivation and needs to practice hard for a while.
However, Guang Gengsheng's talent and understanding are really quite good, and he can practice spells very quickly, which makes Chu Chen extremely satisfied.
In terms of refining generals and weapons, his disciple Guang Gengsheng also learned well and learned the [Secret Technique of Marshal Fengdulang Lingguan]. Like him, he summoned Marshal Guan, the first divine general in his body, and was successful in refining weapons.
In the past two or three years, I have mastered most of the spells in "Dijinji" (the canonical version), and also mastered the "Yun Xin Seal", "Huo Xin Seal" and "Wood Xin Seal" in the "Twelve Seals of Tianmui Lingwen" Three seals.
[Twelve Seals of the Heavenly Essence Spiritual Text] is a top-level magical power that requires extremely high levels of understanding on the part of the practitioner. His disciple Guang Gengsheng mastered the three seals at once. His magical power is quite good and he is extremely outstanding among monks of the same level.
"Master, I heard that my aunt is here. My classmates and I went out for training last night and were delayed when we came back..."
Guang Gengsheng looked quite regretful.
Perhaps due to the influence of his eyes and ears, Guang Gengsheng's behavior and behavior became more and more like Chu Chen's, and his worldliness was no exception.
"It doesn't matter, your senior aunt has been transferred to Yunzhou to garrison. There will be many opportunities to meet her in the future."
Chu Chen smiled and said:
"Your master will also be transferred to Guanwaizhou County in the near future. When the time comes, he will take you to officially join the Lingshan Sect."
Guang Gengsheng was happy at first, but also a little worried: "Master, is Master easy to get along with? Is he fierce or not?"
"It's not bad. Your uncle, your little devil, is praised by your master every day. I miss your master very much right now."
"That's good."
...
When Guang Gengsheng heard that his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, was coming, he also rushed to sharpen his spear in front of the battle. He didn't want to break through the eighth level all at once. If his cultivation could be improved a little, it wouldn't look good at all.
When Chu Chen saw his apprentice leaving, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Last night, after taking the elixir to heal his soul and consciousness, and practicing Qigong to heal his injuries, his Yuan Shen's injuries recovered a lot.
Immediately, without delay, he took out four jade bottles from the Bracelet Immortal Mansion.
In the jade bottle is the "Flying Essence Orb" obtained after killing four extraterrestrial demons.
Previously, when Chu Chen was practicing, he met the Moon Demon and the Sun Demon, the Little Demon Nian, and the Little Demon Queen. He was able to refine the demon every time, collect the essence of spiritual energy, and his cultivation level increased greatly.
However, the fifth-grade Taoist Heavenly Demon Queen killed this time was no longer a "spiritual energy essence", but a "flying essence".
The so-called "Flying Essence" refers to the "immortal essence" in the Taoist scriptures. It is a great medicine. If you swallow the immortal essence, your cultivation level will increase greatly. It is much more powerful than the "Ling Qi Essence". It is a natural way to strengthen your foundation and improve your cultivation. For the elixir and holy medicine.
The Buddhist "Lengyan Sutra" also has the theory of "flying spirits attached to people".
What it means is that the "celestial demon" controls the flying spirit to confuse people's minds and make them mistakenly believe that their realm has greatly increased. Then they will have delusional thoughts, fall into demonic obstacles, be unable to extricate themselves, and eventually go astray.
It is said that after an extraterrestrial demon enters the realm of great supernatural powers, he can manifest his body with the "flying essence" he controls, condense his energy into a form, and manifest his demonic power in the world of saints.
In fact, this was not the first time Chu Chen came into contact with "Flying Spirits".
For more than a year, he and Qingying had practiced the "Yu Yi Jie Lin Running to the Sun and Moon Method" by chance. The most important reason why they had improved so rapidly was that the two of them had acquired the "Sun and Moon Flying Essence" through their double practice.
Although it was just a trace of the "Sun and Moon Flying Essence", it made his cultivation level greatly increase.
The "Flying Essence Orb" in his hand is condensed from flying essences. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "top quality elixir".
Of course, the "Flying Essence Orb" should not be swallowed casually.
Although the demon was killed and completely dead, the "Flying Essence Orb" still contains the residual thoughts of the demon and is full of demonic nature. Swallowing it directly is tantamount to taking poison and asking for trouble.
Chu Chen moved to the alchemy room of Lingxiaoju and asked Hu Dali to protect him. Then he took out the [Qingsong True Alchemy Furnace] and started refining the "Flying Essence Orb".
As his Taoist cultivation has improved over the years, Chu Chen's alchemy attainments have become more and more profound. His alchemy skills have improved very quickly, and his movements are quite agile. He threw four orbs into the alchemy furnace, summoned the [Fire Letter Seal], and summoned Dongji. The Yuanlong and the Great Sun Fire Crow used both fires to refine the "Flying Essence Orb".
"Zizzizi~"
Under the refining of the East Pole Abyss Fire and the Fierce Fire of the Great Sun, the evil spirit and demonic nature stained on the "Flying Essence Orb" melted little by little and disappeared between heaven and earth.
Then, Chu Chen opened his mouth slightly, and Yuan Jun sucked it in. A "Flying Essence Orb" flew out of the alchemy furnace, disappeared into his mouth, passed through the twelfth floor, entered the viscera and meridians, and finally came to the lower Dantian.
"Fellow Taoist, have mercy~"
In the Flying Essence Orb, the last trace of the formless demon's remnants screamed and begged for mercy.
Chu Chen was unmoved, and the inner king in his body became angry, and the true fire was generated on his own, and he refined the "Flying Essence Orb" again. With a "whining", the demonic sound suddenly stopped.
"Pity."
Chu Chen shook his head, feeling quite regretful.
The imagined adventure of refining the devil and inheriting the method did not happen, but I only got some confused memories of the devil.
However, refining the demon is very beneficial to the soul and consciousness, and most of the previous injuries can be recovered at once.
What surprised him even more was that after the Feijing was eliminated from the lower Dantian, a surging power burst out from his body. Lord Zhu Lu Yuan was ecstatic. He suddenly understood and quickly used his kung fu to refine the "Flying Jing".
after one day.
"Good fellow, refining a Flying Essence Orb is equivalent to a month of my hard training. It is indeed a legendary immortal essence."
Chu Chen was overjoyed.
It's been a long time since his cultivation level skyrocketed.
After entering the fifth-level Taoist practice, ordinary treasures that can improve his Taoist cultivation are of little use to him. There are very few treasures that can greatly increase the cultivation level of a fifth-level monk. They are extremely precious and cannot be bought with jade money.
The last two times his cultivation level skyrocketed, his master gave him the precious red fruit, and Lord Long gave him the Shenhuan Origin Orb, which caused his cultivation level to skyrocket.
In these years, Chu Chen did not force himself, but devoted himself to cultivation and polished his Taoist character.
Now that his cultivation level has greatly increased, he is in a particularly good mood. He does not hesitate at the moment and continues to refine the "Flying Essence Orb" he saved as usual.
...
Five days later.
The door of Lingxiao's pure practice room is closed.
However, there was a faint glow coming out, and a strange fragrance filled Lingxiao Residence.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the futon. From a distance, he was glowing with a faint golden light. When he looked closer, he saw a warm jade light. His body seemed to have escaped the realm of the mortal body.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
After refining four "Flying Essence Orbs" one after another and refining the Immortal Essence Holy Medicine, Chu Chen's cultivation level increased greatly, and he enlightened the fourth fifth-grade Yuanjun "Rou Yuanjun" in one fell swoop. The fifth-grade Yuanjun was refined into a fourth-grade Yuanjun. Your Majesty, we are only one step away from the completion of [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] and the [Spirit Embryo Treasure Body].
Previously, Chu Chen enlightened [Pi Yuanjun] and awakened the body's innate magical power [Jade Skin and Golden Skin]. However, at that time, this magical power was just an introduction. Now he has enlightened [Rou Yuanjun] and [Jade Skin and Golden Skin]. Dacheng, the physical defense is excellent.
In addition, in the past two days, he also successfully refined the magical power [Golden Xinling Seal Broken Sword Treasure] that appeared in the Heart Temple, making it invulnerable and hard to be hurt by weapons.
Not to mention anything else, when it comes to physical refining, in the realm of fifth-level Taoism, no matter what race the creature is, Chu Chen is definitely at the top, extremely impressive.
"The Feijing Orb really didn't disappoint me. It really broke through a small realm."
Chu Chen stretched himself and was in a good mood.
This time, he sharpened his skills in battle. Not only was he fast and bright, he also showed his sharpness, and the results were gratifying.
"Senior brother~Senior brother, I heard the noise. Are you finished practicing?"
Outside the practice cleansing room, the little devil came in with a flying talisman. His voice was very impatient, as if he couldn't wait.
When Chu Chen heard this, his mind moved. He knew the moment and understood why the little devil was so impatient.
When I contacted Master Xu Ping before, Master informed me of the itinerary.
According to the calculation of time, in the past two days, master Xu Ping, Taoist Master, has almost arrived outside the customs in the Tianchao Station flying boat, and will soon enter the boundary of the eight southwest states.
As a disciple, he naturally had to go to Yunzhou City in advance to meet his master.
He had ordered the little devil to remind him today.
"coming."
Chu Chen quickly stood up and left the practice clean room.
"Erlang (sir, master)"
Ling Xiaoju Garden, Qingying, Xiao Guizai, Hu Dali, and Guang Gengsheng were all outside.
Obviously, everyone was waiting for Chu Chen to come out of seclusion and rushed to Yunzhou City together.
"Awaited."
"Brother, you are finally here, let's go, let's get there as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."
The little kid hadn't seen Taoist Xu Ping for a long time and missed him very much. At this moment, his mind had already flown away. When he saw Chu Chen coming out, he took his upper hand and pulled Chu Chen onto the flying boat.
In the sky above Lingxiaoju Garden, a flying boat docked in the sky early.
This is the Feitian Painted Boat purchased by the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce. It is worth millions of jade coins and is very luxurious.
On weekdays, Chu Chen usually doesn't use it, but now he is going to pick up his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping. He has a rare luxury and takes everyone on the Feitian Painted Boat.
"Master's flying boat hasn't arrived in Yunzhou yet, why are you so anxious?"
After getting on the deck of Feitian Painting Boat, Chu Chen touched the little devil's head and felt a little dumbfounded.
"Hehehe, go early. If the master arrives early and doesn't see us greeting him, wouldn't it be very disappointing?"
The little kid murmured.
Chu Chen and Qingying smiled when they heard this. Qingzhou and Yunzhou are tens of thousands of miles away. It would be nice to arrive late if there is no accident, but how can they arrive early.
However, the two of them could understand the little devil's mood, so they did not refute, but nodded repeatedly.
"Erlang..."
Qingying originally wanted to ask about Taoist Xu Ping, but as soon as her eyes fell on Chu Chen, a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"Erlang, have you made a breakthrough?"
Chu Chen smiled: "Yes, I got the Flying Essence Orb by killing the demon outside the territory, and after refining it, I broke through."
"Erlang, congratulations!"
Qingying sincerely congratulated Chu Chen, but at the same time she also felt a sense of urgency, and Erlang immediately caught up with her.
After two years of occasional cultivation, the [Nine Dragons True Qi] in her body has become more and more spiritual, and her cultivation has gradually improved. However, the realm of great supernatural powers is not trivial, and she is still far away from reaching the realm of great supernatural powers.
"Congratulations to Sir (Master) for your breakthrough!"
When Hu Dali and Guang Gengsheng heard this, they all looked surprised and congratulated each other. They knew the abilities of their master (sir).
In the past, people with mid-level cultivation of fifth level could surpass those in the late level of fifth level. With one enemy against many, now that the level of cultivation has greatly increased, what level should the magical power be?
"Dongdongdong!"
"Okay, if you don't mind it, I'll give you the incense."
"Hey hey hey!"
The little kid climbed up nonchalantly and took the incense. He held the incense in his arms contentedly, then raised his head and asked expectantly:
"Senior brother, Sister Ying'er, do you think my cultivation has improved? Isn't it faster than my cultivation... I'm already in the middle stage of fifth grade..."
Chu Chen and Qingying: "This..."
...
After half a day's work, Feitian Huafang arrived at Yunzhou City.
In these days, the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty has successively dispatched officials and immortal officials from the land of China and Great Nine Provinces to the eight southwest states, and the post station on the outskirts of the state city is extremely busy.
After Chu Chen arrived at the inn, he went straight to the inn official.
After hearing the news, I learned that the master's flying boat has just left the realm of Jiuzhou, and it will take at least an hour or two to arrive.
The time was not long, and the group had no intention of visiting Yunzhou City. They patiently parked the Feitian Painting Boat in the air at the inn, bathed in the mist, and waited for the arrival of the distant spaceship.
"Woooooo~"
The melodious horn sounded, and flying boats and treasure ships kept rising and falling, coming and going, which was very lively.
Chu Chen, Qingying, and Xiaoguizai were used to seeing this scene, but it was their first time for Hu Dali and Guang Gengsheng. They looked around as if they had never seen anything before.
"It's worthless."
The little ghost cooed softly.
Chu Chen and Qingying couldn't help laughing.
About two hours later, the flying boat from Qingzhou arrived at the mountaintop station on the outskirts of Yunzhou.
Under the eager eyes of Chu Chen and his group, a familiar figure of a middle-aged Taoist appeared in front of everyone.
"Master (Master)! This way!"
Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai were the most excited, and their spiritual consciousness transmitted the message.
Taoist priest Xu Ping laughed loudly and rode the clouds and mist to the Feitian Painted Boat to reunite with everyone.
"Disciple, Ying'er, little devil, you have been waiting for a long time."
Taoist priest Xu Ping laughed loudly and was in a very good mood, chatting with his apprentices Chu Chen and Qingying.
Especially when he saw Qingying, his face was full of love, and he was even closer than before.
The little kid had not seen Taoist Xu Ping for a long time, and was very excited. He remembered what his senior brother had said about his master's schoolwork, and immediately looked at Taoist Xu Ping, and then he was pleasantly surprised:
"Sir, I've been practicing hard over the years. Look, I'm even better than you."
When Taoist Xu Ping heard this, his laughter stopped abruptly.
