Zhang Yao used his magic power and took out two jade slips first.
He held the jade slip and poured his magic power into it. Immediately, a large piece of information came along the magic power and was reflected in his mind.
The first jade slip records "Hou Tu Jue".
There is no difference in the content of the exercises, but there are a lot of comments between the lines, and several powerful high-level earth-attribute spells are also recorded, which are obviously inherited from the Houtu Sect.
The second jade slip was left by Lunan himself.
This jade slip contains a lot of content, recording more common sense and taboos in the world of immortality, as well as some simple bits and pieces of knowledge about using magic weapons, setting up formation flags, distinguishing spiritual herbs, arranging prohibitions... and so on.
"It's hundreds of thousands of words long and eloquent. It's obvious that I'm worried about the future generations."
"It's a pity that the younger generation can't live up to expectations and can't bear the glory and wealth, so they can only pay with their lives."
Zhang Yao shook his head, temporarily put down the jade slip, took out three magic weapons, and explored each one.
That flying sword was a low-level earth-attribute magic weapon with only nine spiritual patterns. It was obtained by Lunan himself from trading with others.
The flying sword is not very powerful, but has the ability to escape. It is a standard configuration for ordinary casual cultivators, and it will not arouse suspicion when taken out.
But the remaining two pieces are different.
The large earth-yellow seal, called the "Nine Mountains Seal", is a pure offensive weapon. Its activation speed is slightly slow, but its frontal killing power is extremely powerful.
The yellow-brown banner flag, called the "Houtu Lianyun Flag", integrates offense and defense, and is particularly good at protecting the body. It was left by the first generation ancestor of the Houtu Sect.
These seals and flags were high-level magic weapons of great value. Lunan didn't even dare to use them openly, so he could only hide them.
"No wonder he set a restriction before his death."
When Zhang Yao saw these three magical weapons, he understood in his heart.
The world of cultivating immortals is not peaceful. Except for the deserts of cultivating immortals like Lu State, more places are also filled with overt and covert struggles, and the competition is very fierce.
The road leading to heaven cannot carry hundreds of millions of people.
"I have to say that Lunan's acting skills are not bad, and he pretends to be the same person."
"Even the Liu family was coaxed around by him."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
In the eyes of the Liu family, Lunan was just a poor and poor casual cultivator in the early stages of Qi refining. His entire wealth might only be a low-level magic weapon and a few low-grade spiritual stones, which he didn't even bother to grab.
Their old lady is a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, how could he care about such trivial matters?
Because of this, the Zhennan Palace was targeted by Emperor Yu Wenze, and Zhang Yao had the opportunity to seize the relics and enter the immortal gate.
If the Liu family knew that Lunan actually had a sect inheritance, then they might have to think carefully.
"It's a great harvest, it's really a surprise."
Zhang Yao was in a good mood. He took back the jade slips and magical artifacts and stood up to leave.
"Please take your time to look at these jade slips on the way. You have to take time to refine the magic weapons."
As soon as he thought about it, as the mana flowed, his body glowed with an earthy yellow luster.
The blue brick floor was filled with water-like brilliance, and his whole body just "melted" into it and disappeared into the room.
underground:
Zhang Yao used the "Earth Movement Technique" to escape underground and soon left the scope of Qingxu Temple.
This method of escaping through mountains and escaping to the ground is a method of escaping and preserving life. Zhang Yao has practiced it most proficiently, to the point where it can be triggered by thoughts.
It's just that his cultivation level is still shallow, and the level of his spells is not high. He can at most escape about ten feet underground, and it will be difficult to go deeper.
"call!"
After a while, a yellow light glowed on a mountain wall, and Zhang Yao's figure appeared.
He identified the direction, then wandered towards the town outside the mountain, leaving the mountains where he had been in retreat for decades.
…………
More than two months later.
In the southern part of Zhongzhou, near Tiandu Mountain.
Zhang Yao sat in a carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the lively scene outside.
"I haven't been here for so many years. I never thought this place would be so prosperous..."
It has been a hundred years since the founding of the State of Lu. Now the fourth emperor is on the throne, and the country's power has reached its peak. It can be said to be a prosperous age of flowers blooming and fire cooking oil.
Even an ordinary market town in Zhongzhou is quite lively because it coincides with the market time from all over the country.
"Keep going."
Zhang Yao watched the candy blower with relish for a while, then lowered the curtain and gave an order.
"yes."
The driver who was on his way immediately responded, raised his whip, and continued on his way.
Within the territory of Lu State, spiritual energy is very thin, and there are only three miniature spiritual veins, namely "Misty Hidden Island", "Kong Qingchuan", and "Tiandu Mountain".
According to Lunan's account, Wuyin Island has been occupied by the Liu family, and there are several loose cultivators in Kongqingchuan and Tiandu Mountains who have gathered together to form huts to practice in seclusion, which can be called a small paradise.
Decades ago:
When Zhang Yao first became an immortal cultivator, he had the opportunity to go to Kong Qingchuan or Tiandu Mountain to practice, but he was cautious and postponed it until today.
"Except for the Liu family, there are basically no monks in the middle stage of Qi refining in the State of Lu."
"With my current third level of Qi refining power, proficiency in many spells, high-level magic weapons, and martial arts strength, I basically won't encounter any danger."
Zhang Yao was silent, thoughts surging in his heart.
After all, the spiritual environment of Lu State is too poor. As long as the monks who break through to the middle stage of Qi refining will basically choose to leave.
According to Lu Nan's guess, when the Liu family moved here in the first place, they were probably forced to do so due to circumstances or some enemies.
After so many years, the old lady of the Liu family and Yu Wenze's father-in-law and mother-in-law should have died long ago.
Times have changed, and it is hard to say whether the Liu family today has any monks in the middle stage of Qi refining. They might have declined long ago.
"Guest, Tiandu Mountain has arrived."
A few days later, the coachman knocked on the carriage and spoke respectfully.
"Um."
Zhang Yao pushed open the carriage door, threw a silver coin casually, and said:
"This is the remaining money. Thank you for your hard work on the road."
"It's not hard."
The driver quickly took the silver, wiped it happily, carefully put it into his arms, and then drove away.
After the driver left, Zhang Yao raised his head and looked at the majestic and mist-shrouded Tiandu Mountain in front of him, showing a smile:
"Tiandu Mountain...I have admired your name for a long time."
Tiandu Mountain has been a famous mountain since ancient times and is known as the "Tianzhu".
At the foot of Tiandu Mountain, many villages and towns are dotted here and there, and occasionally there are stories about the immortal family.
A hundred years ago, Zhang Yao had heard of these deeds when he was active in Zhongzhou, but he did not come rashly to explore the secrets at that time.
It was not until a hundred years later that Zhang Yao, who had become an immortal cultivator, set foot on Tiandu Mountain for the first time.
