Liu Qingyi slept until noon, then packed up and went out, leaving Juntian City and hurried westward.
As soon as he left the city, he put on the Divine Walking Cloak, intending to test the cloak's long-distance travel ability. He poured in Yuan Power to fly in the air along the way. It was indeed much faster than any of his previous methods, but After flying west for less than an hour, they arrived at the Beast Spirit County.
"It's really like flying across a thousand miles in one day!" Liu Qingyi was excited. He entered Beast Spirit County and headed west and then turned north. In about half an hour, he flew back to Tianshou Mountain.
As soon as he entered the mountain gate and went straight to the Heavenly Beast Hall, as soon as he lowered his figure, he called out: "Senior Brother." No one in the hall answered. When he walked into the hall and took a look, he found that only the young gray-clothed disciple was guarding him. But Xu Xiangying disappeared.
Liu Qingyi didn't waste any more time and walked through the hall on his own, heading towards the inner door.
After crossing the ladder to the Miaoyuan Peak Chongming Hall, I saw two people meditating in the hall. Yan Kuan was sitting on a futon in the middle, and Li Deqiang was sitting on the other futon.
Liu Qingyi glanced over the two of them, looked at them briefly, and was surprised to find that their cultivation had already entered the third level of Tongyuan.
"Hey, I'm in a good place." After thinking this in his mind, he walked into the hall and said loudly: "Two senior brothers, you are doing well lately."
The two people who had been sitting quietly with their eyes closed now opened their eyes and looked over when they heard Liu Qingyi's voice.
When he saw Liu Qingyi coming back, Yan Kuan complained in a low voice: "Junior brother Yunzheng, you are finally back. Master has asked me about it several times this month. You said you were going back to visit relatives. , I will be back later, how come it has been delayed for a month, this has made Master and senior brother and I worried."
Liu Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Yan Kuan's expression of bitterness and hatred, and then heard Li Deqiang ask from the side: "Junior brother, where have you been? It only takes a few days for Lan County to go back and forth." That's all, why did it take so long?! No wonder Master is worried."
Hearing this, Liu Qingyi felt a little guilty in her heart. Just as she was about to reply, she heard Yan Kuan's voice deepen and say: "Yunzheng, you are so unconscious. All things in the world are just passing clouds. You are so greedy for the world." It’s time to calm down. The last time Senior Sister Li Xiangyu came back, she praised you several times in front of the elders of the sect. When Master learned that you had been promoted to the third level of Tongyuan Realm, he was even more excited. We are very happy to have gone out of our way to rescue Senior Sister Li. You haven't come back for a long time, and we are all afraid that something might happen to you outside. Please note that in this fairy world, your mere third-level realm of Tongyuan is really nothing."
Liu Qingyi listened to Yan Kuan's rapid-fire words and couldn't refute him. He nodded slightly and said: "Senior brother is right. I encountered something this time and was delayed for a while. I let Master and The senior brothers are worried."
Yan Kuan added: "Since I got the Fire Heart Lotus Petal, my senior fellow apprentices, Yun Ming, and Yun Yu, and I went back to practice quietly. Master also took a few Ascension Pills from Danyun Peak. My senior fellow apprentices and I are here." Under the careful guidance of Master, with the help of the power of the Sheng Yuan Pill, I practiced diligently and understood it night and day, and even refined all the original fire essence in the fire heart lotus petals. Now Yun Yu and I have been promoted to the third level of Tong Yuan Realm. level, Yunming has even reached the fourth level of Tongyuan. If you wander around in the world and waste this good cultivation time of more than a month, your state may have stalled. I'm really not a senior brother, I'm telling you, Yun Zheng, Being too playful will only delay your own cultivation. You advanced to the third level of Tongyuan ahead of schedule, but we caught up with you. After thinking about it, I finally understood the truth."
Liu Qingyi was startled and asked, "What's the point?"
Yan Kuan immediately said with a sincere attitude: "On the road to cultivating immortality, it is normal to be ahead for a while. If you are complacent and indulge in fun, you will only stagnate in your cultivation and eventually be overtaken by others. Go ahead. Young man, don't be complacent." As he said this, he looked at Liu Qingyi with a compassionate expression.
When Liu Qingyi saw Yan Kuan pretending to be serious in preaching, he couldn't hide the slightest trace of amusement in his eyes. He felt so fed up that he quickly changed the subject and said, "Is Master in the peak? Will you come to Chongming Hall today?" ?”
Yan and Kuan were about to answer when they heard a vigorous voice from outside the door: "Yunzheng, why did you come back?" They saw Nie Zhong stepping in, staring at Liu Qingyi with burning eyes.
Suddenly, Nie Zhong's face condensed and he said in surprise: "Hey, you have been promoted to the fifth level of Tongyuan Realm?"
Liu Qingyi bowed his head and said, "It was lucky that my disciple made a breakthrough while on the way to visit relatives."
Nie Zhong asked: "Have you refined the Fire Heart Lotus petals?"
Liu Qingyi said: "Exactly, the disciple has communicated with the fire element and turned it into the spiritual essence in the body."
Nie Zhong still couldn't believe it and said: "You mean you communicated and refined the original fire element in the fire heart lotus petals by yourself?"
When Liu Qingyi nodded again, Nie Zhong let out a long breath and said, "You have this understanding, but it's not easy. The delay is not in vain." After saying this, he looked at Liu Qingyi There was surprise in his eyes, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Yan Kuan's face darkened, he looked at Liu Qingyi blankly, and murmured: "This...is only the fifth floor?!"
Li Deqiang on the side was even more horrified and said: "What? Refining the fire heart lotus petals by yourself? This is really, really crazy. He was promoted to the fifth level of Tongyuan!!?" His eyes fell to the ground as he spoke. expression.
Liu Qingyi saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, cupped his hands towards Nie Zhong and said: "This disciple has been delayed for a while, but it has made the master and several senior brothers worried."
Nie Zhong waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. You are worthy of praise for being able to live in the ordinary world and still not forget to cultivate. It's just that you should try to be as little involved in the entanglements of ordinary affairs as possible. The path to immortality is vast, and you can only find it if you follow the direction of your heart. Heart. It is not advisable to use it in two ways, so remember this." As he said that, he looked at Yan Kuan and Li Deqiang.
Yan, Li and Liu Qingyi, who were standing aside, all said solemnly after hearing this: "Disciple, please remember Master's teachings."
Nie Zhong said: "This time I went to Danyun Peak to ask for Old Ghost Peng to get some Yuan Sheng Dan. You and I were lucky enough to get a piece of Fire Heart Lotus. Your respective realms have been greatly improved. Yun Zheng has reached the fifth level of Tong Yuan." The level is not that bad compared to other lines. You guys were promoted to purple clothes relatively late, so it is rare to achieve such an advancement."
When Nie Zhong said this, the smile on his face grew thicker, "Last time, the disciples of He Lao'er's lineage were rescued by my Miaoyuan Peak lineage in Hanyuan Cave. That old ghost He has seen me several times recently. They all looked hesitant, and at least they had to thank me."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the three people with expressions of relief on their faces. He briefly asked about their cultivation status, and then asked a few people to demonstrate the art of learning Xiao one by one among the six arts of controlling spirits, and began to examine them carefully. When I got up, I found a problem and asked several people to correct it on the spot.
It was not until noon that Nie Chong stepped out of Chongming Hall and headed towards Dongding Cave Mansion.
As soon as Nie Zhong left, Liu Qingyi asked Yan Kuan and Yan Kuan about Bu Jiu's whereabouts. According to Yan and Li, Bu Jiu was promoted to the fourth level of Tongyuan Realm in advance and went to the Internal Affairs Hall alone to take over the inner sect task. Liu Hao, who was from the same lineage as Tianshou Peak, Fang Rong, Luo Hou and others from Zhuyun Peak went to Zuoji County.
Seeing that Liu Qingyi had just returned, Yan Kuan and Li Deqiang urged him to go to the Internal Affairs Hall to inquire about the situation and see if they could hand over the task again after more than a month.
After hearing this, Liu Qingyi stood up lazily, reluctantly descended from Miaoyuan Peak, and walked along the ladder to the main peak of the Heavenly Beast.
He didn't attach much importance to the few meritorious deeds and Spiritual Essence Stones obtained from completing the mission, but he thought that he didn't know how to use those Yuanyang Grasses anyway, so exchanging them for some meritorious deeds and Spiritual Essence Stones would be better than nothing, so he There was no rejection in the end.
All the way to the Tianshou Peak Internal Affairs Hall, Liu Qingyi saw a few more white signs in the hall. The one slightly closer to the front was the mission sign that said 'Go to Bolian County to collect Yuanyang Grass' released last month. It says that the recipients are 'Li Xiangyu, Xiao Jingyan, Yan Kuan, Bu Jiu, Li Deqiang, status: completed', and at the end there is a line of small characters that says 'receiver Liu Qingyi, status: unfinished'.
After reading the sign, Liu Qingyi asked the gray-clothed deacon in the hall: "Senior brother, can I still deliver on the task of collecting Yuanyang grass that I accepted the month before? I have brought Yuanyang grass." With that said, he took out more than ten Yuanyang grass from the spirit ring with both hands and presented them to him.
The gray-clothed disciple looked at Liu Qingyi with great curiosity, turned his hand and collected more than ten Yuanyang grasses, and said warmly: "Of course you can, you are Junior Brother Liu Qingyi of Miaoyuan Peak, I heard that you I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives, and I told you at the door that the time for this task is not critical for you, you can hand it in anytime you want." After saying that, he lifted the piece of "Go to Bolian County to collect Yuan" from the wall. Yangcao's white mission sign was removed, and he took out a black magic pen and made dots.
Not long after, he asked Liu Qingyi for his identity plate, and said in his mouth: "The task of Yuanyang Grass rewards 200 merit points for each plant. This time, I turned in 18 plants, with a total of 3,600 merit points. In addition, the reward for completing the task limit is 1,000 points." Spiritual Essence Stone." As he spoke, he waved his magic pen and saw 3,600 merit points added to Liu Qingyi's nameplate.
When he hung the white task sign on the wall, Liu Qingyi saw that his task status showed as completed, and his name was listed with Li Xiangyu, Yan Kuan and others.
The gray-clothed disciple fumbled around in his arms for a while, then took out a spirit-locking bag and handed it over along with the nameplate. Liu Qingyi originally didn't care much about meritorious deeds, but now that he saw that a thousand spirit essence stones could be received, he felt the same in his heart. He was very happy and hurriedly took the spirit lock bag and nameplate, thanked the disciple in gray and left the house.
As soon as he left the Internal Affairs Hall, he saw a disciple in gray coming up to him. He cupped his hands and said, "Is this Junior Brother Liu of Miaoyuan Peak?"
Liu Qingyi took a quick look and felt that this person looked familiar. He nodded quickly and said, "That's right. Senior brother, what do you have to say?"
"Old Xu of the Outer Sect's Heavenly Beast Hall has looked for you several times, but you've never been on the peak. When I heard you were back this time, he asked me to bring you a message, asking you to go to the Heavenly Beast Hall. He's looking for you if he has something urgent. ." The gray-clothed disciple looked at Liu Qingyi with an eager look on his face.
Miaoyuan Peak's reputation has been spreading like wildfire in the inner sect recently. The four disciples on the peak took on the inner sect's mission for the first time and rescued two people from Ziting Peak, including an old disciple, in Hanyuan Cave. It is said that the person in front of him defeated several people from Baihua Fairy Valley and Xiaoxia Sword Sect in a row.
The reputation of the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect has been spread from Bolian County to Beast Spirit County. The sect leader and the elders were very happy when they heard about it, and directly asked Danyun Peak to give several Yuan Shengdan to Miaoyuan Peak as a reward. The inner sect There was an uproar when people heard about it.
Liu Qingyi stood in front of the Internal Affairs Hall and responded: "I understand." He turned around and left the Heavenly Beast Peak, but did not immediately go to the Heavenly Beast Hall to see Xu Xiangying, but went directly back to his residence on Miaoyuan Peak.
After not coming back for a long time, Liu Qingyi made some arrangements in front of the house, took spiritual food and fed it to the little civet, then sat cross-legged on the futon in the room.
After he communicated with Fire Yuan in the space at the bottom of the lake and was promoted to the fifth level of Tongyuan Realm, his realm has not yet been completely stabilized. After running around continuously, he has no time to practice.
Now that I have some free time back at the mountain, I naturally want to stabilize my state. As for Xu Xiangying's matter of looking for him, I can ask him clearly tomorrow. After all, he has been waiting for so many days, so it doesn't matter if he waits for another day or two. .
After thinking about it in this way, after a while, he sat still like an old monk who had entered meditation. The aura of gold and red was flowing around his body, and bursts of white mist gradually appeared on the top of his head.
Some people died, but not completely...
