longevity road trip

In the "Miscellaneous Notes" on the first floor, Zhang Shiping found a copy of "Qingxu Travel Notes" written by a monk named Qingxu Sanren on the iron-wood shelf. Mount Mountains records are particularly detailed.

Zhang Shiping was at the auction in Bairuifang City, before leaving, he heard the cultivator who was able to sit on an equal footing with the ancestor Yuanying of his sect talk about Wanjianmen.

But as far as Zhang Shiping knew, there was no Immortal Cultivation Sect called Wanjianmen in Baimang Mountain. How could a Cultivation Sect with Yuanying Patriarch be so unknown, it really made him puzzled and curious.

Zhang Shiping copied a jade slip from the senior brother in charge on the first floor. To his surprise, it only took three or five spirit stones for the monk who built the foundation to copy this kind of miscellaneous notes, which was more than ten or twenty yuan more than before. A few spirit stones are too cheap.

Zhang Shiping then selected eight travel notes of high-ranking monks or books that recorded rumors in some strange areas on the miscellaneous notes level. The senior brother in charge was still laughing and asked if he wanted to copy more, saying that there were a lot of copies. Yes, it can be half sold and half free.

Zhang Shiping bowed his hands to him, and declined to be insensitive.I have just built my foundation now, and I have lost the income of hundreds of spirit stones a year from Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden.Although the foundation-building monks of the Zongmen received five or six hundred yuan of spirit stones every year, his expenses have increased now, and the only magic weapon on his body is the first-order ultra-thick earth purple gold shield, which is the highest grade, and the second-order magic weapon is even higher. None.

After Zhang Shiping scanned all the jade slips of these miscellaneous notes and travel notes with his spiritual sense, he found from the scattered information above that Wanjianmen was a sect similar to Zhengyangzong 300 years ago, and the founder of the sect was a few A monk who transformed into a god thousands of years ago.After the ancestors of the Zongmen in the Transformation Stage ascended to the upper realm, Wanjianmen was similar to other Yuanying sects.

In another jade slip, it is recorded that the six sects of cultivating immortals in Baimang Mountain besieged Wanjianmen at the same time, and forcibly seized the inheritance of Wanjianmen.According to the above records, Zhengyangzong made no secret of the fact that he had seized and divided up Wanjianmen.

After learning about Wanjianmen, Zhang Shiping was only slightly moved by the world of cultivating immortals where the weak preyed on the strong.

Perhaps in the near future Baimang Mountain will become the Seven Great Immortal Cultivation sects again, after all, the other side has a Yuanying Patriarch.

Then Zhang Shiping went to the fifth floor of the Sutra Pavilion, which is not open to the disciples in the Qi training period. There is a small door between the fourth floor and the fifth floor, which is covered with a thin reddish light formed by a formation. Zhang Shiping took out the token of his inner disciple, and according to the formula recorded on the token, he used his mana to read a few words and played a few hand formulas. The token emitted light, and the light red light film at the door spread like mercury.

After he entered the fifth floor, he looked around. Zhang Shiping originally thought that in the sect's important place like the fifth floor of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, there would not only be Jindan masters guarding it, but at worst, there would also be senior brothers in the late foundation establishment period. , but unexpectedly there was no one in it.

The room is surrounded by white jade walls, except for the iron-wood shelf and the jade slips glowing with various colors, Zhang Shiping can see through it at a glance, and there is not a single person.

When Zhang Shiping went inside, unlike the four floors below, there were hundreds of iron-wooden frames, but only thirty-odd iron-wooden frames, and there were only three categories of 'spell', 'talisman' and 'elixir'.

Zhang Shiping suppressed the doubts in his heart, anyway, the Yuanying patriarch of the sect or several Jindan masters and uncles would naturally think clearly about this kind of thing, so there is no need for him to worry about it.

He came to the fifth floor of the Sutra Pavilion originally to find the foundation-building exercises. In fact, it would be the best if there were follow-up exercises of "Qingxuan Yuhuojue". But it's a pity that Zhang Shiping doesn't know if there is a foundation-building technique in "Qingxuan Yuhuojue", and even if there is, he doesn't know what it is called.

Nowadays, many exercises in the world of cultivating immortals have been handed down from ancient times. In the long years, many monks have absorbed the strengths of hundreds of schools and created new exercises based on these exercises.

Moreover, the names of many exercises even have new changes every once in a while. It is even more normal to operate in the previous Yang family, or to add a Chen family. It seems that if you don’t do this, you feel that you are not authentic. .

What's more, the same exercise is called by different names in different places.

In terms of pills and prescriptions, apart from some pills that are recognized in the world of cultivating immortals such as Huangya Dan, Huanglong Dan, and Zhuji Dan, many other pills have been modified by monks, deleted, deleted, and deleted. Many monks regard this kind of pill prescription as the foundation of their lives and never disclose it.

Zhang Shiping focused on looking for fire-attribute foundation-building exercises on the iron-wood shelf. Looking at the introduction above, and according to the description of the exercises on the first two floors, there are 27 kinds of fire-attribute exercises on the iron-wood shelf. .

But among the 27 kinds of fire-attribute exercises, he did not find the follow-up exercises of "Qingxuan Yuhuo Jue", and found that many exercises could not be directly cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, even if they could be cultivated to the Jindan stage. many.

Among the fire-attribute exercises that can be cultivated to the golden core stage, Zhang Shiping's "Fire Crow Jue" can be regarded as a very suitable exercise for him.

However, this technique requires a specific Huosha, a spirit called Youhuosha, to practice, which made Zhang Shiping hesitate again.

If he can't find this kind of Huo Sha, then he can only practice other foundation-building skills again.

Generally, a foundation-building cultivator only needs to refine one kind of evil spirit that corresponds to the attributes of his cultivation method, and there is no need to be strict about which one, because refining the evil spirit is actually to make the foundation-building cultivator stronger.During this process, some monks can achieve the same effect by taking some body-building pills or practicing body-building exercises.

And this "Fire Crow Jue" needs You Huo Sha when practicing the fourth level, and it cannot be replaced by other Huo Sha, otherwise he will not be able to practice in the future, which really entangles Zhang Shiping. The exercises to the Golden Core stage.

Zhang Shiping suddenly patted himself on the forehead, realizing why he was so stupid. Since Uncle Xu was able to come up with this technique, maybe the other party had searched for Youhuosha on purpose. For the things that are difficult to obtain for the foundation cultivator, maybe for the Golden Core cultivator. It's just a dispensable tasteless rib.

If it doesn't work, I can also hang up the task in the Zongmen Foreign Affairs Hall first, if I can't get Youhuosha directly, then it is okay to have news about it.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Shiping didn't worry about it anymore.

Chapter 60

At night, Zhang Shiping had already returned from the Sutra Pavilion to the cave mansion in Yekun Mountain to meditate.

In the next few days, Zhang Shiping didn't rush to find the uncle Xu who looked potbellied and laughed all day long. He always felt insecure when dealing with high-ranking monks.

Zhang Shiping took advantage of this time to arrange some chores for his Lingshan. As he just took over Lingshan, he had to make some specific arrangements, what should be planted in what place, and what should be raised in what place.Among them, he went to the sect to get some elixir, spirit grass seeds, or some branches of the spirit tree that needed to be cut. Don't waste these things for nothing.

In the end, Zhang Shiping took a look at the monsters living in Yekun Mountain. Although Zongmen has cleaned up all the second-tier monsters living in the mountain, some first-tier monsters still have a chance to break through and become second-tier monsters. .

Zhang Shiping had to be aware of it, and in the future, he would clear it out regularly, and the materials for monster beasts would also bring in a lot of money.

After finalizing the general layout of Yekunshan, he handed over other matters to the four newly arranged stewards.

After Zhang Shiping became a foundation-building monk, he had a few places in his hands to directly recruit disciples of miscellaneous servants, and he could also recommend disciples from outside sects who could practice qi that met the requirements of the sect.

Among the four stewards, three are disciples of the qi training period brought by Zhang Shiping from the family. They are in their fifties, and their cultivation is five or six levels in the qi training period. But the spiritual root qualifications of the direct descendants of these three people are all good.

The other three foundation-building monks of the Zhang family discussed with Zhang Shiping, and asked him to take them to Zhengyangzong, one person and one first-level spiritual mountain. At least the cultivation conditions are much better than those in the Zhang family. My own children and grandchildren have accumulated some cultivation resources, and they can also handle some trivial matters for him, so as not to distract him.

As for the talented younger generation in the family, Zhang Shiping decided not to take them with him. He couldn't take away the good seedlings of the family. After all, there is still a difference between family foundation establishment and sect foundation establishment.If the Zhang family didn't decide to integrate the family into the Zhengyang sect and live and die with the sect, then they couldn't add all the talents of the new generation in the family to the sect.

The steward of Lingshan was arranged by Zhang Shiping himself, so whether the status of the three Zhang family qi cultivators as handyman disciples can become stewards is a matter of his words. This kind of matter has long been precedent in the sect. Some people say a half-word gossip about nepotism, that is to offend a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In the fourth cave, its owner is the grandson of the old steward of Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden. Since Zhang Shiping returned to the sect early, he also summoned that person to come over early.

The man was about 23 or [-] years old, and gave Zhang Shiping a good first impression. During the few days of handling affairs, he handled things in an orderly manner, and he was also a prudent person. He should have been specially taught by the old manager. In short, it was quite in line with Zhang Shiping's wishes. .Zhang Shiping promoted him to be a steward, and asked him to open up his own cave in the first-level spiritual mountain next to him.

Zhang Shiping and the three qi cultivators of the Zhang family are also ugly. Don't think they are from the same clan and make some small moves, let alone use his name to do something. He doesn't want to offend others for no reason.

Don't say that Zhang Shiping is not good to the tribe, but that if you don't say something clearly, it is tantamount to acquiescing.

In the end, Zhang Shiping thought for a few more days before he decided to ask that Uncle Xu, if it really didn't work, then this "Fire Crow Jue" didn't matter if he didn't practice it, he couldn't wait to find Youhuosha before practicing this technique.

……

The moon is like silver, and the lake reflects the moonlight. There is a solitary spiritual mountain in the Wuxin Lake of Zhengyang Zong. The mountain has no name because the owner of this third-order spiritual mountain did not give it a name. That's all, the mountain is verdant and green everywhere, at the foot of the mountain, there is a person lying topless on a large bare bluestone exposed in the lake.

He rested his head on one hand and looked at the sky from a distance. The light in the sky was faint, the forest behind him was lonely, and the lake in the distance was lonely.With his other hand, he was pulling a red rope. The other end of the rope was a fiery red wine gourd, without a stopper, floating on the surface of the lake.

The valuable spirit wine was wasted in the lake, if Zhang Shiping were here, he would feel distressed seeing it.

The other foot of the man was wearing a shoe, and it swayed in the lake water, causing ripples to form layers upon layers.

But at the bottom of the lake not far away, there is a long black fish with jagged mouth full of fangs, staring at the lake surface. Something was shaking, instinctively biting it.

The fangs that were sharper than a dagger didn't even bite through the man's skin, and the fish demon with a few broken fangs still didn't let go, splashing water on the lake.

Xu Youdan stretched out his feet, and the black fish, which was about ten feet long and weighed several hundred catties, was thrown into the air, drawing an arc under the silver moonlight, and fell far away, with the sound of splashing water.

"Today is Yu'er's favorite day, let me let you go, little fish." He let go of the black fish, which was only a middle-grade first-grade fish. The spirit wine from the lake is less spicy and more chilly.

"Yu'er, you always say that I'm too skinny and I need to eat more. You see that I'm so fat now, and you don't even come to see me." He said to himself, only the sky, the moon, the lake, the mountain wind were listening. He said.

After a long time, the moon is in the middle of the sky.

"Hundreds of years. After this matter is over, I will come to accompany you. You must wait for me." After drinking, he threw the wine gourd far away and fell into the lake, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

Xu Youdan got up staggeringly, walked in the mountains, found a weedy field at random, lay down on it and fell asleep.

……

As the moon set and the sun rose, Zhang Shiping set off from Yekun Mountain with his flying magic weapon. After flying for quite some time, he found the Wuxin Lake marked on the jade slip map. He could see the nameless third-order spiritual mountain from a distance.

Zhang Shiping took out a sound-transmitting talisman and said a few words to it lightly. The talisman turned into a flame and merged into the protective formation of this third-order spiritual mountain. Zhang Shiping couldn't see inside and didn't know what was going on. Drive the flying magic weapon to stand in mid-air and wait.

After a long time, Zhang Shiping saw a hole just enough to pass through the mountain guard formation in front of him, and he flew in immediately.

Zhang Shiping saw a person standing at the foot of the mountain, he immediately flew over, put away the flying magic weapon, and landed beside that person.

The man didn't speak. After Zhang Shiping landed, he turned around and left. Zhang Shiping felt that this person was very strange at first sight. He didn't notice the distance just now. When the distance got closer, Zhang Shiping found the person leading the way. The person has the spiritual pressure of the foundation-building period, but he doesn't even have the slightest breath of a living person, but it's not as gloomy as the refined corpse he got before, just like a piece of stone and wood.

Zhang Shiping tried to call a few times, but when there was no response, he quickened his pace, walked slowly from behind the man to be at the same level, and looked at the man out of the corner of his eye.

The man's face and skin color were the same as those of ordinary people, and his hands, feet and body were not much different, but Zhang Shiping found that his skin color did not have much luster, and the expression of his eyeballs was also dull. No matter how he looked, he did not look like a living person.

Zhang Shiping already had an answer in his mind, that person should be a puppet, which is also a kind of magic weapon.

He was about to use his spiritual sense to scan the other party to see how the puppet was constructed, but he saw the Jindan cultivator Xu Shishu sitting in a gazebo on the mountainside, teasing a red-skinned piglet, so he didn't go any further. redundant action.

Chapter 61

Zhang Shiping followed the man to the gazebo, the man walked to Xu Youdan's side, the puppet disappeared as soon as the master Xu waved his hand.

"Which line of disciple are you, and why did you come to me?" Xu Youdan asked Zhang Shiping in a flat tone.

"Return to Master Uncle, disciple Zhang Shiping is from the lineage of Qinglin Mountain." Zhang Shiping replied, "In the main peak hall two years ago, Master Uncle once exchanged the "Fire Crow Jue" with disciple for a flame liquid spiritual fruit. Now disciple is lucky enough to build Ji, this time I took the liberty to come to visit my uncle, because I want to ask my uncle about the "Fire Crow Jue" Youhuosha."

The Immortal Ascension Association that Zhang Shiping participated in was recruited by Ma Hua’s sect, and several Foundation Establishment monks, including Chen Wenguang, were all from Ma Hua’s sect, not to mention the Immortal Ascension Association, Jindan monk Ma Hua went to test it in person on a whim After Zhang Shiping established the foundation, he naturally belonged to the Jindan monk Mahua Qinglinshan lineage.

However, since the Jindan monk Ma Hua and Zhang Shiping are not in a master-student relationship, and Zhang Shiping, a foundation-building monk, in order to show respect for high-ranking monks, he cannot bluntly mention Ma Hua's name, so the Jindan monk Ma Hua The name of the Lingshan where it is located - Qinglin Mountain, to indicate the lineage to which he belongs.

And those foundation-building disciples under Master Xu's seat, like Zhang Shiping, since Xu Youdan's cave is located at Lingshan has no name, they use the name of the lake where Lingshan is located instead, usually saying that they are Wuxinhu.

Xu Youdan heard Zhang Shiping mentioned "Fire Crow Jue" and Youhuosha, looked at Zhang Shiping several times, and then suddenly said: "You are the disciple who sells Yanye spiritual fruit, so you are called Zhang Shiping."

"It's my disciple." Zhang Shiping replied, he saw that Master Xu's expression didn't look like a fake, he really didn't know himself.

In fact, Zhang Shiping also breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid that this Jindan cultivator Master Xu would forget him, but he was afraid that this Jindan monk would recognize him at a glance.

After all, it has been almost two years since the last time when he established the foundation pill. If the golden core monk said Zhang Shiping's name all at once, then Zhang Shiping would have trouble sleeping and eating, and was missed by a golden core monk. Probably not a good thing.

"If you came here for Youhuosha, then you came at a really bad time. I originally had a bottle of Youhuosha liquid in my hand, but I just used it up a while ago." Xu Youdan said to Zhang Shiping, Huosha is not just It can be used for the cultivation of foundation-building monks.

When Xu Youdan traveled around Nanzhou more than ten years ago, he found an ancient monk's cave in an inconspicuous mountain forest in Qi State. It was there that he obtained the "Fire Crow Jue" and the ancient monk Huo Crow Taoist. something left over.

Because of the long time, apart from an ancient treasure sealed in a treasure box and a few bottles of medicine pills, everything else in the cave mansion has long lost its spiritual power and become waste, worthless.

But there was a Youhuosha well in that cave, which was full of Youhuosha, so Xu Youdan refined it easily, refined the evil energy into evil liquid, and stored it in a bottle.

The method of refining evil spirits into liquid is usually performed by Jindan monks, because this kind of method requires the help of the real fire of Jindan monks.Of course, there are also Foundation Establishment monks who have practiced some secret techniques, and they can also refine them.

Xu Youdan teased his second-level red-skinned pig pet, thinking of the ancient monk's cave he met in Qi State, he obtained things from it, and rearranged the formation after he came out. He couldn't see through his methods, and in a small country like Qi, how could there be any high-level cultivators. Presumably, the ancient monk's cave should still be well preserved.

Now that more than ten years have passed, some of the Youhuosha well in the cave should have accumulated again. Although these Youhuosha are not precious things to Golden Core cultivators, Xu Youdan has long thought of this Youhuosha well in his heart. The well was regarded as his own personal property, so how could it be the reason why Zhang Shiping and other foundation builders would give away the news of the cave for nothing when they asked about it?

Zhang Shiping was disappointed when he heard that Youhuosha just disappeared.Regardless of whether the news is true or not, since Master Xu has already spoken, he is not allowed to question it.

However, Zhang Shiping still did not give up and asked one more question, "I don't know if my uncle knows the news about Youhuosha, this disciple is very grateful."

After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, the Jindan cultivator Xu Shishu in front of him didn't directly say that he didn't know. Instead, he looked at Zhang Shiping, thought for a while and said, "I know a thing or two about Youhuosha, but what do you have in exchange for it?" News about me, Youhuosha?"

"This..." For a moment, Zhang Shiping really couldn't think of anything that he could get into the Dharma Eye of the opponent's Golden Core cultivator. I don't know how much stronger a foundation cultivator is.

Xu Youdan smiled and looked at the young Foundation Establishment disciple in front of him, he was still too young.Forget it, since the other party has already built a foundation at a young age, maybe he can succeed in forming alchemy in the future, so let's make a good relationship!

"There is a mission for the Zongmen here. It is about the entrance of the Zongmen Hall in Fengyi County, Qi State. You can go there." Xu Youdan thought for a while, and the Zongmen happened to have a mission in Qi State recently.He took out his Elder Token and changed the reward of that mission to Youhuosha's clue.

There was no news from one of the secular halls of the sect in Qi State this year. The two middle-stage qi training disciples sent there received a message about evil cultivators a month later, and no news came back.It seems that there are evil cultivators who are short-sighted to make troubles, and those few Qi training disciples seem to be in danger.

The entrance of the secular hall is not far from the mountain forest where the Youhuosha well is located, and it takes half a day for the monk who established the foundation to drive the flying magic weapon.

Anyway, the Zongmen wanted to send people to investigate. A foundation-building cultivator was safer than a qi-training cultivator.

"This is news from Youhuosha." Xu Youdan took out a piece of cyan jade slip from the storage bag, and stuck it between his eyebrows. After a few breaths, he drove the jade slip to float in front of Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping took the jade slips with both hands, respectfully saluted Xu Shishu in front of him, "Thank you, Shishu."

This jade slip not only simply marked the location of Taoist Huo Ya's cave, but also the method of entering the formation that Xu Youdan arranged there.After receiving the jade slips, Zhang Shiping felt relieved, and the news of You Huo Sha had a clue, so when he found You Huo Sha, he would be able to practice "Fire Crow Jue" earlier.

Zhang Shiping's face was full of joy, but he did not forget what Master Xu said just now. Zhang Shiping immediately took out his sect token from his bosom, swept his consciousness, and picked out the mission of Fengyi County, Qi State that Master Xu said just now, and immediately Accept it.

Xu Youdan, a Jindan cultivator, modified the mission rewards, but the mission was assigned by the sect after all, and Zhang Shiping's acceptance of this mission was not considered crossing the line.

Seeing that Zhang Shiping had nothing else to do, Xu Youdan waved him back.

Zhang Shiping clasped his fists and saluted, stepped back a few steps, then turned his head and went down the stone steps of the mountain path. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he drove the flying magic weapon into the sky. When Zhang Shiping was about to approach, the big formation was under the control of that uncle Xu Automatically reveal a circular passage just enough to pass people.

Zhang Shiping flew out of Wuxin Lake, and did not return to his Kunshan Cave Mansion, he flew all the way towards the secular world.

……

In the land of Nanzhou, there are only more than three thousand years of history recorded by mortal historians. During those thousands of years, I don’t know how many countries, large and small, rose and fell. small secular country.

There are still many countries like that, and maybe decades or hundreds of years, they will change their dynasty names, which is too frequent for monks in the world of immortality.

As for Zhang Shiping of the Qi State, I still know it, because many secular people of the Zhang family are scattered in many cities in various counties of the Qi State, and they are backed by the Xiuxian family. They can still live on, and at the end of the year they can also eat some oil and water, and cut a couple of new clothes to wear, which is better than other people who have eaten their last meal and never finished their meal.

What these secular people of the Zhang family look forward to most is that their children can have spiritual roots, be picked up by the main lineage family in Baiyuan Mountain, and become the high and high immortal masters, then they can live happily ever after .

Chapter 62 Fengyi County

There are many great rivers originating from Baimang Mountain. One of them meanders and flows through Yu, Qi, Qi, and Yu, four secular countries, large or small. The last one is called Pingcang River. The river is in Yong'en County of Yu State, where it meets another river named Lushui, and after a long journey, the vast soup pours into the boundless ocean.

The Pingcang River divides the seventeen counties of the Qi State into two. Fengyi County is located in the south of the Pingcang River. The land is fertile and the water network is densely covered. With a lot of water and heat, crops such as rice grow vigorously and are harvested twice a year. It is the first-class grain production area in Qi.

As a county city, Fengyi City also relies on rivers, lakes, canals and other water conservancy and transportation, attracting merchants from various countries and counties. There are many ships stopping and going around here every day, even if some docking fees and The coolie money, the county government and the various aristocratic families earned a lot of money.Of course, such unseemly things are naturally taken care of by those on the gang road.

……

After nightfall, if someone looked down from the sky, except for some scattered lights nearby, only this county town was brightly lit.

A young man wearing a blue robe and a well-groomed mustache was walking slowly on the street.This is Zhang Shiping who drove ten days from Baimang Mountain, and arrived at Fengyi County of Qi State tonight. Although the gate of the city has already been closed, Zhang Shiping is not an ordinary person, so why wait until tomorrow to enter the city.
