longevity road trip

Zhengyangzong now has three ground fire peaks, and each ground fire peak has 36 ground fire chambers, making a total of [-] ground fire chambers.All of them are underground. Disciples who accept this task need to be stationed in the underground fire room all year round. It is one thing to receive some monks who apply for the fire room. The ground fire broke out.

Zhang Shiping thought back and forth in his mind, he frowned slightly, and asked, "Uncle, I read from ancient books that if a person with a three-yang spirit body lives in a place with abundant fire-attribute aura all year round, it can improve the concentration of Qingyang fire during the foundation-building period." chance?"

Chen Wenguang bowed his head and pondered before responding: "There are records in some ancient books, but we can't draw a conclusion." Chen Wenguang knew that under the condition of fire attribute aura all the year round, it would indeed help Sanyang Linggen monks increase the chance of condensing Qingyang fire by about two times. layer.

But Chen Wenguang didn't want his nephew to go to the underground fire room. It was not an easy task for a monk in the Qi training period to get rid of the fire poison.

Zhang Shiping said to Chen Wenguang: "Uncle, I want to go to the ground fire room." Chen Wenguang knew that his nephew was a three-yang spirit body, and since he had already made up his mind, he couldn't force it anymore. Work.

……

While the two were discussing, the Fengxing White Shadow Boat had already flown over many mountains and rivers, and stopped in front of the Zhengyang Mountains.

From the outside, it is just an ordinary mountain with lush flowers and trees.But the spirit boat flew in from mid-air, passed through a circular portal, and entered the formation. The scene was naturally different, quite a bit like a paradise.

There are many monks and servants on the Zhengyang Mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles. There are many houses and many palaces.Many monks stepped on flying swords and other magic weapons back and forth in the air.

A monk in the qi training period who cannot fly in the air jumped in the forest. The flying boat stopped on a flat ground on the top of the mountain. Everyone got off the spirit boat one by one. Zhang Shiping took a deep breath. foot.

Many monks who were born as casual cultivators were even more excited.

Chapter 7 Bronze Lamp

The Fengxing white shadow boat landed on the flat ground on a hilltop of Zhengyangzong, and everyone came down.

Zhang Shiping looked down from the flying boat first, and in the clouds and mist he only saw the eaves of the palace towers faintly protruding, feeling like the hazy feeling of the towers in the mist and rain.

Everyone was in a square, surrounded by continuous houses and towers. He saw servants passing by from time to time, and some of them flew back and forth between the buildings with their feet on different shapes of magic weapons.

The square is paved with blue stones, and in the middle is a small river that is ten feet wide. The water in the river is so clear that you can see small fish swimming around above the pebbles.There is an exquisite stone pavilion by the river, the pavilion is covered with precious gourds, and the white stone is the base. There are two people sitting in the pavilion. One is a middle-aged man with obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the other is a woman with a pair of red phoenix eyes, which is surprisingly delicate.

The five foundation-building monks Chen Wenguang who got off the flying boat walked over, and the two also stood up, and the older monk surnamed Li said to the two of them in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Lin, Junior Sister Feng, next time the new disciples will hand over to you." It's for the two of you, make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Yes." The two said to Senior Brother Li.

Zhang Shiping and others, led by the two of them and the qi training monks of the sect, turned left and right, and came to a large hall. Everyone received jade cards representing their Zhengyang sect identities and black clothes one by one.

He walked along the mountain road, walked across a chain bridge, and lived in the courtyard of a hill next door.There are many courtyards built on this hill, all of which are small courtyards surrounded by three or four houses.

Each set of small yards is separated by tens or hundreds of meters, so you are not afraid of disturbing others.Zhang Shiping was allocated a small yard numbered A[-]. The environment of the house was good. There was a clump of green bamboo growing well, and the bamboo leaves rustled. It took him a while to get familiar with the whole yard.

In the next six months, the Zongmen will not force their new disciples to accept miscellaneous or dangerous tasks, so Zhang Shiping is naturally happy. He came to his room, meditated with his legs crossed, and started the "Qing Xuan Yu Huo Jue", The spiritual energy in the sect is indeed stronger than that of his own first-level spirit mountain. The mana he refined in one round of the Great Circle is three points more than before, and the mana has become more refined in the long run. It is a good choice to join the sect, and he is happy in his heart.

As for Chen Wenguang has already returned to his cave, it is enough to roughly arrange things for his nephew, he does not need to cover everything, and he is not taking care of children.He had already left Zhang Shiping a sound transmission talisman, let Zhang Shiping figure out which sect mission he was going to accept in half a year, and then send a message to him.

Chen Wenguang really didn't want Zhang Shiping to go to the ground fire room. The fire poison was not so easy to clean up. In the past, the disciples who guarded the ground fire were changed every year. It was because of the time, and the low-level monks couldn't stand the fire poison.

Fortunately, there is still half a year left, maybe Zhang Shiping will not go after he figured it out, he will go to the Zhang family in a few months to see his sworn brother Zhang Tongan, otherwise he will feel uneasy, the road to cultivating immortals is getting worse The fewer friends you leave, Chen Wenguang sighed.

……

Because it was the first time to practice in an environment with abundant aura, when Zhang Shiping opened his eyes, it was already dark, and he couldn't see his fingers in the whole room. He washed his eyes with magic power, and he could still see some things in the dark, but it was just To the extent that you can't see your fingers.

He rubbed his right hand, and a yellow flame emerged from the tip of his index finger. The flame jumped, and the room became bright. He scanned the whole room. There was an oil lamp on the table, but the wick had burned out, and the remaining section was soaked in Inside lamp oil.

He thought that there was a bronze lamp in his storage bag, but it was broken. He didn't know if the wick was still there, so he took out the bronze lamp from the storage bag.

"Hey!" The lampstand where the bronze lamp was split from the lady's hands is now intact. If he didn't remember clearly, he would have thought the lamp was like this.

He picked up the lamp, and he could no longer see the original broken trace.It's really miraculous, could it be that this bronze lamp with no aura fluctuations is still a treasure?

The bronze lamp was placed on the table, he poured oil into it, and lit the bronze lamp. The light was the same as that of ordinary lamps. Zhang Shiping swept the bronze lamp with his consciousness again, wanting to see if he could imprint his consciousness, but there was no response at all. .

He frowned, bit his finger, and forced a drop of blood onto the bronze lamp, but the blood didn't melt into it.Neither of the two most conventional methods of refining magical artifacts was available, so there were only two possibilities left.

One is that this bronze lamp is a vulgar thing, worthless.

Another possibility is that it is not a magic weapon, but a treasure that needs formulas to sacrifice.

No matter which one, it is useless to Zhang Shiping now.

Lost in his heart, Zhang Shiping let out a deep breath, fetched a bucket of water from the well in the garden, and washed himself hastily.

Back in the bedroom, he continued to meditate and practice. On the surface, the immortal cultivators are beautiful, but in fact, which one of the cultivators who want to achieve all the achievements has spent a lot of effort, and they have to endure loneliness, otherwise it is better to go down the mountain early and become a master in the secular world. The family's worship, eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime, sleep when you want to sleep, and play when you want to play.

Zhang Shiping calmed down his heart, and continued to practice, and only then did he run the "Qing Xuan Yu Huo Jue", the spiritual energy he absorbed was still in his meridians, he had already opened his eyes, and he found that the spiritual energy he had absorbed was four or five times what he had before , This speed of absorbing spiritual energy is almost the same as that of Tianlinggen.

He was afraid that it was an illusion, so he practiced again, and he still absorbed so much spiritual energy. He circulated the great circle and refined mana. Zhang Shiping was immersed in this feeling.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and it gradually goes west, leaving only the outline of the faint moon.

The mountains in the east are still groggy, the west is still blue, and the whole world is boundless.

The green bamboo outside the house rustled in the mountain wind, and the bronze lamp inside the house burned all night. After the lamp oil dried up, the light became smaller and smaller, from the height of a finger to the size of a soybean, and finally a few wisps of green smoke were extinguished.

Zhang Shiping suddenly opened his eyes, and he found that his speed of cultivation had returned to the original state. When he opened his eyes, he saw the lights go out, and suddenly thought of a possibility in his heart.

He got up and poured the remaining lamp oil into the bronze lamp again, and lit it.

He went back to the bed to practice, and as expected, the speed of practicing "Qingxuan Yuhuo Jue" was the same as last night, and he didn't want to get up until the sun was three poles.

Zhang Shiping blew out the lamp, took out a jade box, put the bronze lamp in it, and put it in the storage bag. This kind of treasure cannot be mentioned to outsiders.

The treasure is touching, Zhang Shiping thought that if the Jindan cultivator found out, he would not be able to help but do it.

Pretending that nothing happened, he went down the mountain to buy some basic necessities, which were bought by secular disciples of Zhengyangzong, forming a small town.Zhang Shiping saw many disciples in the town wearing black sect clothes like him.

Of course, there is lamp oil for these basic necessities, and he bought a big barrel, which is enough for half a year.Of course, there are many other things to buy.

In order to prevent others from entering his yard by mistake and discover the secret of the bronze lamp, Zhang Shiping set up formations outside the room every time he practiced, so the days passed day by day, and three months passed in a blink of an eye, and he finally broke through the " "Qing Xuan Yu Huo Jue" fifth level, reached the fifth level of Qi training.

After a night of practice, Zhang Shiping got up, put away the bronze lamp, went out and sat in the courtyard, thinking that he was only the aptitude of the three spiritual roots, and if he improved his cultivation faster and faster in the later stage, someone would definitely notice , it seems that I have to prepare early.

It is extremely necessary to have a cultivation method that can hide the cultivation level and prevent others from seeing it, and it is best to hide it from the foundation-building monks.Zhang Shiping didn't even dare to think about whether he could hide the truth from the Golden Core cultivator.Anyway, there are only a few Golden Core cultivators, as long as they don't miss them, my luck shouldn't be that bad.

Chapter 8

Thinking of this, it should be sooner rather than later. Zhang Shiping used the reason of his visit to talk with many new disciples in the mountains, discussing how to absorb spiritual energy more efficiently when practicing some exercises, and how to release spells quickly or quickly. It is hidden.

No knowledge can be obtained in vain. Everyone has their own years of practice experience. Of course, no one will take out some people who are at the bottom of the box. Since Zhang Shiping is a three-yang spirit body, he has some experience in controlling fire. He only spoke out a part of it, so the other people still looked taught, which made him feel that he was at a big loss.

Since it is a discussion between monks, it is inevitable to talk about which shop in the market has high-quality and cheap jade slips, or which brother and uncle in the sect practiced the skills so well, Zhang Shiping said When it comes to the method of restraining breath, it is still necessary for monks to have a method that can change their own breath, and everyone is also interested.

From this kind of qi restraining technique to another, some can completely restrain their own spiritual pressure, just like dead wood and rocks.Some can change the level of their spiritual pressure, and the cultivation level of the foundation building stage can pretend to be a monk in the Qi training stage.As they talked, they talked about where the exercises were the best and most complete.

There was a tall and sturdy man with a thick gray beard, "The most comprehensive exercise in this sect is of course the Cangjing Pavilion. Think about the exercises that the sect has collected for thousands of years. How much will it be?"

Another monk named Cha Chengyu said coldly: "Who doesn't know that the Sutra Pavilion has the most exercises, but do you have a certificate? We can't even enter the Sutra Pavilion without the recommendation of a foundation-building monk from the inner sect. How about Go to the shops in Fangshi, as long as you pay the price, you can’t buy anything.”

Another monk with a black mole on his left face and a mustache said: "The key is that there are no spirit stones. Why don't you think about how to get a certificate from Master Zhuji? I heard that Qingyan Yaoshan You can get it from Guanshi Chen, but it’s only at this price.” Having said that, the mustache monk smiled, obviously the price is not low.

Huihu said: "It's really hard to get the master's certificate in the foundation building period, but the outer disciples can enter the Tibetan scripture pavilion after two years of entry. In the past few years, copying a jade slip of the exercise is three times cheaper than the outside price." Fifty percent."

The hearts of Zhang Shiping and the others were very hot, so that they could save a considerable amount of expenses over the years.Because some of the disciples who had just entered the school were honestly practicing in the courtyard, did not go around, and were not familiar with Zhengyangzong, so someone asked where is the Sutra Pavilion?

Zhang Shiping kept them all in mind, half a day later this small discussion meeting ended, and six or seven people dispersed.

Zhang Shiping first went to a nearby market and bought a leaf-shaped flying magic weapon. The Zhengyang Sect's sect is too big. It used to be just by foot power near Zhangjia Baiyuan Mountain. Not here.

Zhengyangzong has a radius of hundreds of miles, which may not seem big, but there is a saying, "Wangshan ran a dead horse. This mountain road has nine turns and eighteen turns, and there are tens of feet deep valleys and dangerous streams. It can be walked in a day of climbing mountains and wading How many ways.

After thinking and thinking, Zhang Shiping gritted his teeth and went to Fangshi to buy this leaf-shaped flying magic weapon, a first-tier middle-grade product. He asked three or five shops, and they were all so dark. He had no choice but to choose one with an asking price of 95. The one with a piece of spirit stone lost most of his wealth at once, and his heart aches to death.

The Sutra Pavilion is near Zhengyang Peak, nearly two hundred miles away from the Outer Sect Disciple Peak where Zhang Shiping lived.It is not a problem for him to obtain the certificate of the master uncle in the foundation period, which is the most difficult for Qi training monks. He stopped by Chen Wenguang's uncle's cave mansion, but unfortunately he went out, and the boy in the cave mansion said he had gone. Zhengyang Peak, I don't know how long it will take to come back.

Zhang Shiping could only find a place to live nearby, and told the boy to report to Chen Shishu when he came back. Zhang Shiping left the sound transmission talisman and a spirit stone for the boy, and the boy smiled and promised to inform him as soon as possible.

Because people were outside, Zhang Shiping did not take out the bronze lamp to practice, and became a slow-moving practice. Three days later, Zhang Shiping, who had taken a bigu pill, finally received the sound transmission talisman from the boy, and he set off immediately.

When he arrived at the cave, Chen Wenguang had a worried face. When he saw Zhang Shiping coming in, he put away all the worries on his face. He chatted with Zhang Shiping for a long time, and finally gave Zhang Shiping the certificate. It was an iron plate, which was left by Chen Wenguang breath.

After Zhang Shiping left the cave, he didn't see Chen Wenguang's frown and frown. He was summoned by the head of the sect this time because of the problem of a cloud iron mine in the sect. The miners dug out a spiritual stone pit during excavation. , There may be a Lingshi mine under the Yun Iron Mine. It was originally good news, but the news was leaked out, which attracted the prying eyes of the Qiyun Sect and the Xuanhuo Sect.

Chen Wenguang thought bitterly that the guarded disciple had made such a big omission, he really should be killed.Once a spirit stone is discovered, the formation should be closed, the mine should also be sealed, and a message should be sent back to the sect immediately.This is good, the news received by the Zongmen is the same as that of Qiyun Xuanhuo and Qiyun Xuanhuo, and there is no first move, which is really hateful.

For the current plan, the group of them must rush to the town first with ten foundation-building monks. If there is indeed a spirit stone mine, then the masters of the Jindan stage will definitely support them. This kind of mission is really dangerous. Dozens of monks of the same level Fighting is easy to be done secretly.

……

After the farewell, Zhang Shiping naturally didn't know about this, he flew to Zongmen Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, this is a rocky mountain with sparse trees growing on it, and the cliffs are mostly pine trees, tall and straight.

At the foot of the mountain was a three-foot-high stone gate, and a thousand meters ahead was a palace. As soon as Zhang Shiping fell, several spiritual senses swept him aside. There was no malice. This should be a monk stationed in the Buddhist scripture pavilion.

Zhang Shiping released his spiritual consciousness but half of them didn't notice it. Unexpectedly, the disciples stationed in the outermost circle of Zhengyang Sect have such high cultivation bases. He has already trained five levels of qi, and those disciples have at least six levels of qi training.

What he felt was the divine sense of nine investigations, which meant that there were at least nine people here.Seeing that Zhang Shiping's cultivation base is low, even counting the Zongmen's clothes, seven gods took it back, and only two followed him, Zhang Shiping walked all the way to the gate, chanted the formula, and threw the iron plate forward , a red light appeared in front of the gate, and after a while, two monks in moon-white gowns came out.

The red light closes automatically.

Zhang Shiping hastily saluted respectfully, "Junior Zhang Shiping pays homage to the two uncles."

"You broke the formation?" A monk on the left looked at Zhang Shiping, looked at the iron plate in his hand, and said coldly.

Zhang Shiping quickly said: "It is the younger generation, who is guaranteed by Chen Wenguang and Uncle Chen."

"Chen Wenguang?" The foundation cultivator on the left couldn't remember that there was such a person in the sect, but the pattern on the iron plate was correct.

The person on the right thought for a while, "Chen Wenguang should have established the foundation the year before last, and he was working under Uncle Ma's sect." This person's indifferent tone, in his eyes, a monk like Chen Wenguang who had just established the foundation was not considered worthy.

Zhang Shiping could tell that these two foundation-building cultivators had a higher level of cultivation than Uncle Chen. When he talked about Chen Wenguang, his tone was indifferent, and when he mentioned Uncle Ma, his tone was unconsciously respectful. In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is still used to speak.

"You can tell if you test it." The foundation-building monk said in a cold voice, stretched out his hand and sucked the iron plate, and the iron plate emitted a dark light, intertwined with the red light, and then the iron plate passed through the red light and fell. In that person's hand, he nodded to his companion after probing with his divine sense.

"Come in." The other person took out a formation disk with many patterns, and the formation disk rotated, revealing a hole just enough to pass through in front of Zhang Shiping.

With Zhang Shiping's footsteps, he jumped in immediately. He couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly outside the red light just now, but now they are about 30 years old. It's like Chen Wenguang just established the foundation.

Immortal cultivators looked much younger as their mana improved, so these two people should be around 34 to [-] years old. Zhang Shiping calculated their progress of cultivation in his mind and was horrified.

The two were in front, Zhang Shiping followed, passed the corridor, turned around and came to a stone wall.

The two recited the formula together, one pointed to the left and the other pointed to the right, the stone wall disappeared, revealing a deep cave, "Just go in, you only have three incense sticks, and the jade slips you choose cannot exceed three." Well, if there is someone who is interested in it, Senior Brother Ma will copy the jade slips for you."

"Thank you two uncles." Zhang Shiping was extremely polite, and he would not leave a good impression in front of any monks whose cultivation was higher than his own, but at least he should not be missed.

Chapter 9 Jade Slip

A deep and secluded cave, there are no wall lamps on both sides of the cave wall, there was still light when he first walked in, but after Zhang Shiping turned a corner, the outside light could not shine in, he held a small fireball, and then walked down.

There was a faint light in front of him, and he walked forward quickly, and suddenly it opened up in front of his eyes, the lights inside were brightly lit, and the walls were inlaid with pearls the size of pigeon eggs or even eggs, all emitting a faint light, and under the lights were rows of iron and wood trees. On each shelf, there are at least three or five light clusters of various colors on each shelf, and at most seven or eight. Zhang Shiping saw how many people were walking inside.

Zhang Shiping looked at it, and walked quickly, not thinking that there seemed to be a transparent wall in front of him, and he bumped into it all of a sudden, causing pain on his face.

"It's a pity to go blind at a young age!"

An old voice reached Zhang Shiping's ears. He turned his head and saw that there was a notch near the entrance of the cave, and there was a long bluestone chair. An old Taoist-like cultivator lay on it, holding a yellow chair. The skin wine gourd, sipping a small wine, looking comfortable.

Those who can be in the Sutra Pavilion are all high-level immortal cultivators. This is Zhang Shiping's first impression after entering. The guards and guides are already two foundation-building monks. Not to mention this old Taoist priest, at least one Veteran Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Junior Zhang Shiping pays respects to senior."

"Worship what kind of predecessors, everyone is a fool. Do you know who I am, do you know what my name is, I don't know what to say." The old Taoist has seen a lot of people like Zhang Shiping, "My name is Gu Binghua , you can call me the old man, what are you looking for."

Zhang Shiping replied: "The juniors want to find exercises that can hide or change their own spiritual pressure. It is best for fire attribute monks to practice."

The old man said without hesitation: "This kind of practice has nothing to do with attributes. It relies on the monk's spiritual sense. I don't even know who is your master. It's really misleading my disciples."

Zhang Shiping said with a wry smile: "The younger generation is a disciple who has just started, and has not yet apprenticed to a teacher."

"If you want to hide the spiritual pressure technique, then go to the third shelf on the left on the second floor and have a look. There are several books over there, and there should be one suitable for you, but don't hold out too much hope."

Zhang Shiping thanked you again and again.

Zhang Shiping only had three sticks of incense time to enter the Sutra Pavilion. Someone can save a lot of time by showing the way. The old Taoist opened the door and let Zhang Shiping in. He found the stairs, walked up to the second floor, and went straight to the third shelf on the left.

The Sutra Pavilion is located inside the mountain, with a large space and five floors, each with 36 huge white jade pillars. The first four floors are 'Miscellaneous Notes', 'Spells', 'Tales' and 'Ellites'. , four floors, each with hundreds of iron and wood frames.This kind of iron and wood frame has six layers up and down, on which are placed jade slips of martial arts, which are guarded by formations, forming light balls of different colors one after another.

If you want to copy the Jade Slip, you only need to write down the name and location of the exercise, and find the steward on the first floor to copy the Jade Slip.

……

Zhang Shiping walked to the shelf and saw the first yellow light ball. He subconsciously reached out to touch the jade slips inside and wanted to take a look, but was counterattacked by the light ball, and his fingers smelled burnt. It was pitch black, and the pain was unbearable, Zhang Shiping let out a muffled snort.

It seemed that he couldn't touch the jade slips directly. He read the first few lines of small characters in the light group, which said Hunyuan Shouxin Gong, and then two lines of small characters. The cultivation method can restrain the breath, but this exercise has only five levels, it is a fragmented version, and its usefulness is limited, Zhang Shiping turned to look at the next one.

After reading 34 or [-] short exercises in a row, there are only [-] jade slips of exercises on this iron and wooden shelf. Zhang Shiping's face went from the initial expectation to the disappointment that could not be concealed on his face. Laws are all fragments, and none of them are complete.

If it doesn't work, I can only go to the store in Fangshi to look for it, and I don't know if the price is high or not.

Just a monk in black came over, Zhang Shiping saw that he was dressed as an outer disciple, so he asked in a low voice: "This brother, please stay."

The man stopped, "What's the matter with this junior brother?"
