What happened next was much simpler.
When the old man from the Deng family came back, his brothers and sisters were present. Although he was over sixty years old, he did look much younger as a practitioner.
In order not to arouse suspicion among others, they told the outside world that they were distant relatives.
His wife and children were all sick, so he came to seek refuge.
In this way, the old man of the Deng family settled here, married a wife, had children, and continued the family line.
Before the friend died, he gave his storage bag to the old man of the Deng family, and he also saved a little bit.
Although the spiritual energy in the world is thin, a set of spiritual gathering arrays and those spiritual stones actually allowed him to reach the seventh level of Qi refining.
When he discovered that his grandson had spiritual roots, he directly left the spirit gathering array and the remaining spiritual stones to his grandson.
It's just that his life is about to end, and the hardships he endured as a casual cultivator made him reluctant to send his grandson to the world of immortality.
Just like this, Deng Jiarong has been on the second level of Qi Refining and met Ji Qingling and the other three.
When he heard Ji Zuo say that Deng Jiarong had good qualifications and planned to take him back to Taiyimen, the old man from the Deng family almost fainted with excitement.
It wasn't that he didn't want to join the sect back then. Firstly, he had poor qualifications, and secondly, he was older, so he had no choice but to stop thinking about it.
He still knew the name of Taiyi Sect, one of the three East Yue sects.
In this case, Ji Qingling and the others have completed four of their sect missions this time. If they find one more person, they can return to Taiyi Sect.
After talking about this matter, Ji Zuo asked the old man of the Deng family about Sanyuan Mountain.
In recent years, the old man of the Deng family was probably a martial arts master in the minds of the villagers.
At that time, after the leopard ate people, people came to the door.
He thought that a leopard would be easy for him, but who knew that the leopard was very ferocious.
Although the old man of the Deng family was not injured, hunting the leopard consumed his spiritual energy and made him weaker than before.
But even so, he will never use the Spirit Gathering Array to replenish his spiritual energy. After all, using the Spirit Gathering Array also requires the consumption of spirit stones.
"Did you notice anything unusual on the mountain?"
"Abnormal? There are fewer beasts in the mountains. I took Jiarong there several times a few years ago. There were more beasts then than now."
"Have you ever been to the mountains?"
"I haven't been there for many years, and I don't want to waste my spiritual energy with this kid. But I have been there a few times before, and there is no difference."
Ji Qingling and others guessed that these ferocious beasts had reached the outskirts of the mountain, and it was very likely that there were more ferocious things deep in the mountain.
These tigers and leopards cannot eat enough, so they have to look for food in the periphery.
Deng Jiarong had to leave home and go to the world of immortality because of such a change in one day.
A place I only heard about from my grandfather.
This made him a little dizzy, and only then did he remember something.
"Actually, there is something strange in the deep mountains."
"What kind of weird trick?"
"I've been there once or twice before. Every time I get close, it feels dangerous. I tried twice and still don't dare to get close."
The old man from the Deng family said angrily: "You brat, I told you not to go into the mountains alone, but you turned a deaf ear to my words!"
Deng Jiarong was helpless, "Grandpa, I have reached the second level of Qi refining."
Ji Zuo told him, "You may not be an opponent of those ferocious beasts. You have no experience in hunting wild beasts."
Shen Ru stood up and said, "The three of us will go to the mountains to have a look."
Liang Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle, please take me with you, I can help!"
Tong Cheng and Bao Xian also looked eager to try.
"Without you, you three will only be considered a burden."
"Uncle Master~"
Deng Jiarong Qiqi Ai Ai said, "Senior, I can show you the way. I've been there twice and it's fine."
Liang Yu hurriedly answered, "Yes, it's okay if he has been there, let us follow him!"
Deng Jiarong thought that I was on the second level of Qi Refining.
Ji Zuo thought that there would be no danger in the secular world, "Sister, take it with you and let them see it."
In this way, a group of seven people went up the mountain.
Sanyuan Mountain is named after the Sanyuan Taoist Temple built on the mountainside a hundred years ago.
It was just that the Taoist temple fell into disrepair a few decades ago.
After hearing about Deng Jiarong's Taoist temple, they took Te Tei to have a look.
There is nothing different about it except that it is dilapidated and deserted.
A few people continued to go deep into the mountains, and there were more and more towering trees. Those dense branches made people feel a little depressed.
Occasionally, a ray of sunlight shines through the branches, allowing the flowers and saplings under the trees to survive.
The three little ones had never been to a place like this, so they were a little curious at first.
As they went deeper and deeper, they also felt something different, but it was not the dangerous discomfort Deng Jiarong said.
Ji Zuo, who was walking at the front, raised his hand and called everyone to stop.
"Senior sister, Qing Ling, can you feel the spiritual energy?"
Shen Ru nodded, "Well, the outside of Bishan is indeed much better."
Ji Qingling was also curious, "Is there a treasure? Here?"
Ji Zuo pointed to a place in front, "It shouldn't be a treasure. I think it's because of the tree in front."
There was a straight and thick gray tree with gray leaves, which really made it impossible for people to feel close to it.
Bao Xian stepped forward and asked Ji Qingling, "Uncle, what kind of tree is this? Why is it still so gray at this time of year?"
"The everlasting tree."
"Immortal tree? Can it live for a long time?"
"I don't know how long it can live, but I know this is a spiritual tree."
"Spirit tree!"
The three of them circled around the tree. It was really strange. This kind of tree can be seen everywhere in the world of immortality.
But this was the first time they met in the secular world.
The biggest feature of this longevity tree is longevity, but who planted the longevity tree here? It looks like it's been like this for at least hundreds of years.
"Maybe it was planted by the Taoist priests from Sanyuan Taoist Temple? But this is not a big deal. What does this have to do with the decrease in wild beasts in the mountains?"
Because of the longevity tree, there is indeed more aura around it than in other places.
"There should be other things. The four of you are waiting here. Let's go check out other places. Don't wander around."
The three of them still divided into three groups and searched everywhere.
Ji Qingling walked a few steps behind Tongtian and found a tiger not far away. Yes, it was another big tiger.
It is tall and has shiny fur. The most surprising thing is that there is nothing chasing it around, but it is running away.
Ji Qingling felt strange and chased after him. The big tiger might have sensed the danger and saw Ji Qingling flying in mid-air.
Escape even more desperately!
Are they on the run?
He raised his hand and threw a spell in front of the big tiger. The big tiger was frightened and paused, then continued running desperately.
She accelerated and landed in front of the big tiger, throwing another spell in the direction it was trying to escape.
This time the big tiger finally stopped.
It stood there and looked directly at Ji Qingling, and the next moment it rushed over with all its strength.
Snapped!
Ji Qingling punched him and knocked him to the ground.
Then the big tiger jumped up again, shot a wooden arrow out of his mouth, and was caught by Ji Qingling!
…
The big tiger who knows wood magic!
