longevity road trip

"Looks like a reasonable person. I'm afraid I won't stay in the city often these few years. This fire bead should be regarded as a crown gift." Zhang Shiping thought, and suddenly more than ten extremely deep black flames appeared outside the pavilion. , intertwined with each other.

Among Nanzhou, the youngsters stand in their twenties.At that time, the elders will usually invite all parties to come to watch the ceremony, which means that the teenagers have really grown up.

Originally, if Li Jiantong was only a child of the Li family on Feiyu Island, even if he had the aptitude of Shuanglinggen, he would definitely not be able to invite the Nascent Soul cultivator to attend.But now that he is Qiu Cong's personal heir, he has the qualifications.

But Zhang Shiping can't guarantee that he will be in Yuanxiao City at that time, and there is no urgent matter, so now he will give this crown gift first.

After more than ten breaths, the Flame of Wuxu condensed into a black spirit pearl the size of a baby's fist, which slowly floated into his hand.

"This little thing is called Wuxu Yanzhu, and its power is almost between Jindan and Yuanying. In addition to the effect of burning, it can also kill the soul."

After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the Yanzhu flew in front of the young man.

"Master?" Li Jiantong didn't put it away directly, but asked Qiu Cong first.

"This is a good thing, just accept it."

"Yes. Thank you, True Monarch, for your reward!"

Li Jiantong took out a brocade box and put it away solemnly.

After all, the head of the Li family of Feiyu Island is only a late-stage golden core cultivation base, and this real person probably has a treasure comparable to this thing in his hands.

Zhang Shiping nodded slightly, and then took a sip.

The tea tastes mellow at the entrance, and the sweetness from the bitterness and astringency makes the mouth salivate, leaving a long-lasting flavor.

After tasting it carefully, he said: "This tea should be picked from ancient tea trees more than 2000 years old, so that you can taste it!"

"That's right, this tea was planted by the old man when he was forming alchemy, and it has been more than two thousand years old now. If you like it, I will give it to you." Qiu Cong said slowly.

After the cup was empty, Li Jiantong filled it up immediately, and then knelt quietly again, motionless.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the old man's lifespan is only [-] years old now, and he should be able to wait for Tong'er to form an alchemy, but there is no way to do things in the future. After the old man passed away, his life savings are only half of the money handed over to the sect. , the rest will belong to this little guy, and I will take care of it from now on." Qiu Cong said.

"The sect has its own rules and regulations on this matter, why should you worry about it?" Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

There are not many monks in the Xuanyuan sect who built the golden alchemy, and only a small part of them are alone. The rest either have disciples, or have close relationships with them such as Taoist couples.

Once a monk dies, whether it is due to traveling abroad and fighting with others, or because his lifespan is exhausted, half of the property they have accumulated in Xuanyuanzong will belong to the sect, and the other half will be inherited by these people .

And Zongmen will also guarantee the safety of these heirs who suddenly gained treasure, and the two are mutually beneficial.

Of course, if these monks have a will and are unwilling to hand over nearly half of their wealth, then Xuanyuanzong naturally has no obligation to protect it.

"When Tong'er was in the sect, I wasn't worried. But when the child grows up, he always has to go outside to see the world. There are too many ups and downs, and there will always be accidents. If he can support him more, he will be more supportive." Safe." Qiu Cong said.

"Okay, I will take care of it in the future, you can rest assured." Zhang Shiping said.

The ancestor Changshen also entrusted him to him before his death, but now nearly 300 years have passed, and none of the Zhengyangzong has the possibility of conceiving a baby.

And this entrustment will expire in another 200 years.

The 500 years of taking care of him can be regarded as ending the relationship between him and Zhengyangzong.

Otherwise, with a mere Jindan sect, among the dozen or so Yuanying monks and Wanjian sect of the clan, how could it be qualified to monopolize Zhengyang Peak, a fourth-order spiritual mountain, for so long.

Such behavior is no less than the principle of a child carrying money through the busy market and committing a crime with a jade.

Whether it is right or wrong to plunder depends on the occasion.For the peace of the dynasty in the secular world, a relatively sound law is naturally needed to maintain social order.

But in the practice world, it is normal for the weak to prey on the strong.

As for Qiu Cong's entrustment, Zhang Shiping didn't dislike it either, he just took care of him in the future, and this was part of the duties of these Yuanying ancestors.

"After the old man is dying, please ask Shiheng to spare some soul to protect Tong'er once." Qiu Cong said very bluntly.

Zhang Shiping thought for a moment before nodding his head: "Okay."

"Thank you so much. These two jade slips record some of the old man's experience in the two ways of alchemy and array in his life. Although Shiheng wants to practice the method of talismans, he does not study alchemy and array in depth, but the three are actually the same goal by different routes. It's just using different methods to explore the mysteries of the world. Among them, the two alchemy formations also use runes, I hope these experiences can be helpful to you." Qiu took out two jade slips from flipping his hands, and put them In front of Zhang Shiping.

He also made it very clear that these are just some of his experience, not the whole truth.

Chapter 891

After Qiu Cong got the promise, his face became more happy, and he said loudly, "Drink tea, please drink tea."

Then the two sipped tea and chatted in the pavilion, and soon got up again, walking side by side on the bluestone path in the forest.

The trees on both sides look like trees, and the grass is delicious.

White clouds and green mountains, occasionally the wind blows, and the leaves rustle in an uproar, but it is quiet amidst the noise.

"When people want to die, they are more greedy or fearful, and this old man is somewhere in between. It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery can't be seen for long!" Qiu Cong said with a relaxed expression. Said.

Hearing this, Zhang Shiping was silent.

"What does Shiheng think of the scenery here?" Qiu Cong asked again.

"Very good." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

"Where's the good?"

"Overwhelming the sky and carrying the earth, the law is clear at all times, all things are rational, and the beauty is speechless." Zhang Shiping said lightly.

"This is the way of heaven." Qiu Cong nodded and said.

The two walked for about ten feet, and then he said softly: "You don't have to follow us, go practice."

"Yes." Li Jiantong, who was slowly following behind, finished speaking, bowed slightly, then turned and left.

After Qiu Cong waited for him to walk away, he continued, "So what does Shiheng think of Venerable Hongyue's ideals and ambitions in this life?"

"The idea of ​​benefiting all beings held by His Holiness is indeed the way of man, but the plan is too big. Not to mention our Xuanyuan Sect, even those small foundation building families are not necessarily willing to agree. In fact, when The moment His Holiness can't let go of the obsession in his heart, the outcome is already doomed." Zhang Shiping said with a sigh.

The so-called benevolence means that everything is based on the interests of others. This kind of practice is extremely difficult, let alone caring for all beings?

Venerable Hongyue intends to establish a world where practitioners and ordinary people are equal to a certain extent by suppressing many sects in Nanzhou.

But the prejudice of people's hearts is like a big mountain. If you cross one, there will be another one, which is doomed to be insurmountable.

Practitioners are originally superior to ordinary people, and now it is impossible for them to bend down and walk with ordinary people on an equal footing.

Such actions are like those emperors who let the mortal families disperse the belongings of the clan to help the common people.

As a result, the aristocratic family worked together to cause turmoil in the dynasty, took the opportunity to overthrow the royal family, and changed the world.

And the consistent practice of the five sects is to interfere with the secular world as little as possible, and do nothing.

"The way of heaven and the way of humanity, when Shiheng reaches this point in the future, he must be cautious again and again." Qiu Cong reminded.

In today's small world, the only recognized method that can achieve the transformation of gods is the method of enlightening the emptiness and transformation of gods.

Nascent Soul monks can be called great monks at the later stage.

At this stage, apart from continuing to accumulate mana and reaching the perfection of the Nascent Soul, it is more important for them to begin to comprehend this method.Find an obsession that suits you, and realize the void based on it.

But some obsessions are too strong, and it will make the monks get stuck in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Zhang Shiping also sighed with regret for Venerable Hongyue.

Compared with the nine-level and third-level cultivation method in ancient times, this method of enlightening the emptiness and transforming the gods is more like a rope set up between two mountains, and the monks walk carefully on it.

However, the clouds and fog in the mountains were too thick, and the rope was submerged in it, and there was no end in sight.Whether it is near or far, everything is unknown.

Although Qiu Cong has not reached the later stage, as a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, he has seen many great cultivators fall on it, so he reminds the latecomers of the sect in advance.

"I understand this, but it's too early to say these things now." Zhang Shiping said.

"That's right, now we should first consider how to capture that ray of false spirit fire." Qiu Cong nodded and said.

"That's why I chose to break through the mid-term at this time, and then the Zongmen will be able to provide more support. It's just that I don't know what the other four are thinking. If the five of us go our own way, we will definitely lose to the white horse. Temple. However, if our five sects work together to resist foreign enemies first, take this object, and then discuss it later, it will actually be a safer way." Zhang Shiping said without haste.

"Discuss this matter with Du Yu and Tianfeng, and then see if you need to call the fellow Taoists of the other four sects to discuss it." Qiu Cong said.

"I'll talk to the two of them when the time comes." Zhang Shiping said.

"Hmm." Qiu Cong nodded, he hadn't been involved in the sect's affairs much these years.

"Where did Du Yu go these days? Why did Gongyangqian come to replace me?" Zhang Shiping said a little puzzled.

"The Temple of the Lawless has been opened again, he may have already entered, and it is normal that he did not receive your summons." Qiu Cong responded.

"If you don't tell me, I've forgotten about it." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

The opening time of Nanfa Temple is not completely fixed. It will be a few decades in a short time, and some will take one to two hundred years.It is normal for Zhang Shiping to be unclear when he is not particularly concerned about this matter.

"Are you going to go there later?" Qiu Cong asked.

"I'll take a look later." Zhang Shiping nodded.

The Nanfa Hall is located in the South China Sea of ​​Nanzhou, but it has not yet reached the sea area of ​​the Sea Clan, it is just in between.

It is only a few tens of thousands of miles from Yuanxiao City to there.

After the two chatted for a few words, they still walked on the bluestone path in the mountain without haste, from the halfway up the mountain, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

When Zhang Shiping was about to leave, Qiu Cong said suddenly.

"The Zongmen has actually recorded the "Liujia True Strategies". This method is the practice of Ya Shisan in the past when he was at the end of the spiritual world, and wanted to create a suitable one from scratch, so as to advance to the stage of integration The ancestor Mingchang thought it was an impossible thing, but it seems that this senior crow should have succeeded. Wuhuo, Yinmu, Wutu, Shenjin, Zishui, Chenfeng and other spirits Gathering essences in one body is not an easy way to go, with the current appearance of Xiaohuanjie, suitable spiritual essences are extremely rare, Shiheng, have you considered this point?" Qiu Cong said.

Zhang Shiping responded to the Tao and said, "Everything goes smoothly and naturally, let's do it and see."

Having said that, he now has a wisp of Bi Fang's breath in his hand.

Although the spirit essence of Yinmu has never been conceived, the left and right are just looking for a treasure land, and it will take hundreds of years to conceive.

As for the Wutu spiritual essence later, when he needs to use this thing, it depends on whether he can transform into a god.

If it is possible to transform into a god, then the most important thing is to find the path of the reverse spirit and ascend to the spirit world. At that time, it will not be difficult to find the spirit of Wutu.

And if he is stuck in the Nascent Soul realm for the rest of his life, then he won't need the spirit essence of Wutu, so he doesn't need to think about it.

"It's good that you have a bottom line in your heart." Qiu Cong said slowly.

Chapter 892 The Body of the Wood Spirit

After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, all true monarchs already have a relatively clear understanding of their own practice.

Even between master and apprentice, the master can only mention a few words to the apprentice, and it is not good to intervene too much.Otherwise, there will be no master to lead in the door, and it is said that the practice lies in the individual.

What's more, it's a fellow monk, so that's all Qiu Cong said.

"Then I'll take my leave first. Fellow Daoist Gongyang is still waiting for me to take over in the Valley of Resentment. I'm sorry if it takes too long." Zhang Shiping said, cupping his hands.

"Why be so anxious, that girl has been used to being crazy since she was a child, it's better to let her stay longer. She is spoiled by Qinghe, if the old man is the head, how can she be so unruly. "Qiu Cong said in a deep voice.

Gongyangqian doesn't like Zongmen chores, but prefers a carefree life.Since Zhang Shiping joined Xuanyuanzong after forming alchemy, in the past 500 years, the number of times she has returned to the sect can be counted on the fingers, and the total time may not be enough for five or sixty years.

But since Qinghe and Jifeng left, no one can control her anymore.

Even Du Yu, if he didn't have the identity of the head, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to control him too much.

Because after all, when Du Yu first entered the sect from the secular world, when he was a child of seven or eight years old, Gong Yangqian also took him for a while, and he was considered a relatively close elder.

"This still requires you to come forward, I can't say anything." Zhang Shiping laughed.

After speaking, he rose against the wind.

But Qiu Cong said suddenly: "Shiheng, before Tong'er forms alchemy, please keep his affairs secret for now."

"Don't worry, I understand this point. But until the child is successful in cultivation, it is better not to let other old guys see it, or it will be bad if he has evil intentions. Even if I protect him with the incarnation of the soul, but I'm afraid it's useless, those old guys can't control that much." Zhang Shiping responded, and then the whole body was swept away, turning into a red rainbow, and galloped towards the exit of the secret realm.

On the way, he thought to himself: "With the body of a wood spirit, it's no wonder that Qiu Cong, who has such a high vision, can't help being moved? It's just a pity, if it's not the fire and wood twin spirit roots, but the wood attribute sky spirit root, the two They help each other, it should be the body of the wood spirit, and it will be like picking something out of a bag when the time comes to achieve a Nascent Soul."

As for the monks with the bodies of wood spirits, they only need to cultivate to the golden core state, and their pure wood attribute mana is no less than those 6000-[-]-year-old treasure medicines.

In addition, it also has other magical functions, the most famous of which is the main medicine for refining the Earth Yuan Longevity Pill.Of course, this can also be used as a good spiritual body for seizing the house.

But since Qiu never concealed the fact that he accepted the boy as a true disciple, it meant that he never thought about it again.

Otherwise, Zheng Hengyun and other Jindan juniors would not know about it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face. He was sincerely pleased that there was another junior who had great potential to advance to Nascent Soul.

But now Zhang Shiping has reached the mid-Yuanying stage and is only in his early [-]s, and there are still more than [-] years of good time in the future, so naturally he will not make any plans on this.

What's more, after he joined the Xuanyuan Sect, with Qinghe's support, his path of practice can be so smooth.

And now it was his turn to do these things.

This is the case for the sect, if it wants to continue to prosper and prosper for a long time, it needs the elders to support and protect the younger generations, and pass it on from generation to generation.
