longevity road trip

Chapter 941 Break up

In Yuanjiang, an old man is on a bamboo raft in a lonely boat, holding a vertical line with a pole, and drifting with the current.

At this moment, Zhong Li's expression was calmer than before, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he looked like he was not asleep, and he didn't even seem to notice the ups and downs of the float on the side of the boat.

Two people flew from the sky, Zhang Shiping landed on the boat, while Qiu Cong was still riding against the wind.

"It turned out to be the bait." Zhong Li said softly.As soon as he lifted the fishing rod, a small fish with silver scales was swaying frantically on the hook, and some river water splashed on the fish scales.

Seeing that there were still two small stools empty on the row boat, Zhang Shiping sat down unceremoniously, and then said with a smile: "It seems that you expected that I would come."

"This old man doesn't have the ability to predict, it's just that there are a few more small stools on this boat. Qiu Cong, since we're all here, why don't you come down and sit down? We haven't fished together for a long time." Zhong Li said with one hand. He took the small fish off the hook and threw it into the river again.

There was only a splash, some water splashed, and the ripples dispersed.

The little fish flicked its tail in the water and disappeared under the surface of the river.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping simply made a quick move, took a thin bamboo from the bamboo forest on the bank, and used magic power to condense a long thread and a fishhook, hung an earthworm, and then threw it far away.

"You are having a good time." Qiu Cong said with a frown, he flew down and stood with his hands behind his back.

"I have to find something for myself to do." Zhong Li said slowly.

Hearing this, Qiu Cong snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.The three of them were silent for a while.

"Let's sit down and fish together," Zhang Shiping said, and he quickly raised the rod and took down the greedy little fish with a smile.

"The hooks are all condensed by mana. How can there be fish that don't bite the hook? You should use this rod, otherwise the fish will gather in groups. It's okay, even if the monsters in the river can't resist the temptation. What if If I knock over this small bamboo raft, I will be buried in the belly of the fish." Zhong Li laughed, and he took out a fishing rod made of thin bamboo and threw it over.

"How dare a mere little foundation-building monster..." Zhang Shiping smiled and took the fishing rod.

It's just that when he said this, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Zhong Li with a frown, his brows opened sharply, and he suddenly asked in surprise:

"Why did your Nascent Soul disappear without a trace?"

Qiu Cong also had a look of astonishment on his face when he heard the words.

"Why, don't you think that this old man has become a God of Transformation? It's just that I, this old man, had the cheek to ask Du Yu, and entered the treasure house of the sect to read the hollow chapters of "Taixuan True Explanation". Also affected by the backlash of the divine pattern, I had no choice but to disperse the Nascent Soul, and forcibly maintain my own vitality with the magic power I have cultivated for more than two thousand years. Now I am like that tree without roots and water with no source, and it will last forever." Zhong Li said with a smile, as if this was just a trivial matter.

When the cultivator of Huashen is dormant, he will temporarily disperse the Nascent Soul all over his body to suppress his own cultivation, so as not to attract the thunder calamity of the small world.

At the same time, doing so can also prevent one's lifespan from being lost too quickly.

In ordinary times, the magic power used by the cultivator of Huashen is usually only about [-]% higher than that of the Nascent Soul stage.

That's why Zhang Shiping and Qiu Cong were so surprised when they found out that Zhongli Yuanying had disappeared.

After all, Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't have such supernatural powers as Spirit Transformation cultivator!

"Hmph, even if you feel ashamed, you won't seek your own death." Qiu Cong said coldly.

As the ancestor of the Xuanyuan sect, how can he not understand that the content recorded in the follow-up of the "Taixuan Zhenjie" in the divine pattern is not something that can be seen by a person who is transformed into a god?

Even if it is Qinghe, it needs to reach the Nascent Soul Consummation in its own cultivation, and under the protection of the Mingyu Xuanguang Mirror, it can comprehend the content of the Hole and Void Chapter.

As for the integration stage at a higher level, although the method is wonderful, it is too profound, and it will not be beneficial for monks who have not yet reached the realm to look at it.

"What guilt do I have in my heart? In the past, when Yan Yulou fought against Kui Zi, my Zhong family became the fish in that pond. I was the only one left with hundreds of people in my family. The old man's ability to endure until now is the limit. Whether it's Yan Yulou or Yan Li, their death is nothing more than repaying the debt they owed. The two Nascent Soul cultivators are their lives, isn't it the hundreds of members of my Zhong family? After all, I just feel sorry for the world Heng, I attracted Ye Qina's old tortoise and made him almost suffer. As for my own cultivation, you don't have to worry about it. No matter how you say it, I can live a few years longer than you." Zhong Li also looked at me coldly. Qiu Cong didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.

"Believe it or not, this old man will kill you in a few days. Don't you think that I can't bear you because of the yin and yin oath? In this situation, there are many ways to deal with you!" Qiu Cong turned his back to Zhongli, and kicked his ass Sit on a stool.

No matter how ingenious and powerful the contract is, whether it is useful in the end depends on whether the strengths of the two parties that signed it are similar.

For example, if one of the five sects of the Yinming Oath is only a Jindan cultivator, the other four sects are all Nascent Souls.

Then this Golden Core cultivator would not dare to be unscrupulous in front of Nascent Soul cultivator just because of this.

After all, there are quite a few real people under every true monarch, and they can make them die without a place to bury them with just one order.

Now that Zhongli Yuanying has dissipated, although his cultivation is still maintained for the time being, once he uses his mana, it will be like a flood breaking a dike, and it will be difficult to maintain it.

Once the magic power is exhausted, the longevity will also be exhausted.

Zhongli has lived for 700 years, and has already passed the golden elixir's 800-year limit. Without the magic power of the Nascent Soul realm, his transformation would only take a moment.

"This old man is alone, and now this life is worthless, if you want to come, just come." Zhong Li said coldly.

"Okay, you two should talk less. Others don't know, they think you are the enemy of life and death. Why do fellow monks fight to such an extent? I came today to let you talk about it. I didn't listen to your quarrel." Zhang Shiping was slightly sullen.

"I didn't quarrel with him. The secret place is thousands of miles away. Everyone lives on one side, and no one disturbs anyone." Zhong Li lifted the fishing rod in his hand, took down a small fish that was biting the hook, and threw it into the river. middle.

"Okay, no one disturbs anyone, I'm leaving."

As soon as Qiu Cong finished speaking, he got up in a flick of his sleeves and fled away, without saying any more words of persuasion to Zhang Shiping.

"Shiheng, you can go too. I'm sorry for the previous matter. After the old man has passed away, I will trouble you to come and take care of the relics in the mansion, and burn my body to ashes by the way. Sprinkle it into the South China Sea to see you off." Zhong Li said slowly.

"Your injury is actually not helpless, it is better to retreat and study the "Zuo Wang Sutra", maybe there is still a glimmer of life." Zhang Shiping said in a deep voice.

"This old man has exactly that intention. In fact, whether it's me or Qiu Cong Qingyu, it's not something you can persuade, and it's none of your business." Zhong Li said with a smile.

He let go of one hand, and the fishing rod fell into the river, then picked up the wooden oar at his feet, paddled the river, and slowly leaned the bamboo raft towards the shore.

Chapter 942

After the bamboo raft touched the shore and Qiu Cong stepped down, Zhang Shiping said his farewell and flew away.

It's just that he only flew dozens of miles before he saw a figure among the clouds.

"Why did that happen just now?"

Zhang Shiping looked quite helpless, the two of them hadn't said a few words, they looked like they were in the same situation, but seven or eight of them were pretending, and they couldn't hold back their face.

"Does that guy want to comprehend the "Zuo Wang Sutra"?" Qiu Cong said lightly.

"I asked about it, and he looks pretty close. I'm far behind such a decisive move." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"It's different for you. You only need to practice step by step for hundreds of years, at most a thousand years or so. It's not difficult to become a great monk in the later stage. At that time, your lifespan will still be very sufficient, and you may be able to hit the realm of transforming gods, but this guy Zhongli can't do it. No less, the initial stage of cultivation is there. He wants to borrow the mystery of "Taixuan Zhenjie" and then practice the "Zuowangjing". It can only be said to be a delusion. Give it a try. But he was straightforward, knowing that his own realm was not enough, so he broke the boat and dispersed the Yuanying in advance, using the remaining thousand years of life to fight for that slim chance. Whether this move is wise, I can't decide But just like you, I am far behind his courage." Qiu Cong said.

He didn't completely deny each other because of the gap between the two, and spoke ill of each other.

"I've come all the way, practiced so far, no matter how slim the chance, if there is even a chance, I should put in a hundred times and a thousand times of effort, I hope Zhongli can be unexpected." Zhang Shiping said lightly, his tone uncertain.

It is difficult to transform a god, but Zhongli's way of doing it is like that rare blind old man in the mortal world, braving the whistling wind, groping down the edge of the cliff, picking up a little bit of scent. Zhilan Xiancao that grows on the cliff.

As long as one step is wrong, there will be no bones left.

Or go in the wrong direction, and in the end, the life energy is exhausted and sits down unconsciously.

"Leave him alone. Since you choose this way, life and death are fate. Whether it is good or bad depends on your own destiny. You don't mind the previous incident, so I won't embarrass him anymore, let it all pass. But The Zongmen needs to give the Yan family a compensation, and the high-grade spirit stone veins shared by Yulou and Xuanbai will take back at least a thousand years later." Qiu Cong said slowly.

Generally, after the Yuanying monk of the Xuanyuan Zong died, the Zongmen would take back the donated spirit veins after 500 years. This was done to take care of his disciples or clan members.

"I have no opinion on this, but how to make a specific decision depends on Du Yu and Tianfeng. Once Zhongli sits and forgets now, he must be completely ignorant of foreign affairs during the period. As for the supply of the spiritual veins and spiritual energy where his cave is located, then we have to decide Check it often, it must not be lowered inexplicably." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

It has been more than 500 years since the two Nascent Souls of the Yan family died, and the time limit of [-] years will come.However, among the Jindan cultivators of the Yan family, only one person has cultivated to the late stage. Unfortunately, he is already old, and it seems that he will be born within three to five years.

In such a short period of time, it was too difficult for this person to break through the bottleneck.

Qiu Cong extended the time limit of the spiritual pulse, but he wanted to get more compensation for the Yan family.

It's just about the ownership of the spirit veins, which involves the authority of Du Yu, the head of the family, and he doesn't want to overstep his authority.

"You, you, don't worry, this old man won't make a fuss about this kind of thing. But sitting and forgetting for a hundred years is a common thing, and it's not uncommon for a thousand years. My lifespan is not long. Since you have the heart, then from now on Zhongli will be there." It's up to you to watch." Qiu Cong frowned and said calmly. .

"Okay, I'll go back to the cave later, and I'll send two foundation-building servants here to keep guard in the secret realm all year round." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

Besides, he also wanted to take Du Mingan to Bihu Island once, at least to let the other party know his way.Otherwise, if an apprentice doesn't even know where his master's cave is, if it spreads, it will really make people laugh out loud.

As for the foundation building servant, Zhang Shiping had already changed several times.

In many cases, the realm of a monk does not match his own virtue.

Within the territory of the Xuanyuan Sect, no matter whether it is a family of practitioners or a casual cultivator, it is absolutely forbidden to do harm to ordinary people. This is an iron rule.

Of course, monks were occasionally offended by ordinary people and killed them, or killed a few people like crushing ants.

This kind of thing, Xuan Yuanzong alone has not been able to find out all of them.

The reason why Xuanyuanzong established this rule is to prevent some monks from practicing those evil spells for the sake of quick success, so as to harm the mortals of a city or even a country, and make people everywhere miserable.

However, there are always some monks who think they are doing things that no one else knows.Some of these people have already entered the prison of Xuanyuanzong, and the foundation-building cultivator among them is an excellent choice for slaves and puppets.

After all, Zhongli's sitting and forgetting is worse than being closed to death. In that state of confusion, his mind and soul are no longer clear, just like the living dead, unable to distract other things outside.

But if you want to break through with the method of sitting and forgetting, then of course the support of majestic spiritual energy is indispensable.

Once the spiritual energy of the place where you are is fading, it is not to say that you have improved in practice, and if you don't retreat, it means that the opponent's foundation is solid.

Zhang Shiping was worried that if the disciples of the inner sect who established the foundation were allowed to take turns to be on duty, there might be some secret agents from other forces who had not been found out.

If something went wrong in this kind of matter, it would mean the fall of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so one must not take it lightly and directly dispatch the servants driven by the spirit, so as not to make any mistakes.

"I also have a few foundation-building servants under my command. If you need them, I will send them over at that time." Qiu Cong said.

"Okay." Zhang Shiping nodded in response.

Now he doesn't have many servants driven by his soul, which can meet the manpower needed to manage the cave.

Right now, the planting of elixir and the cultivation of spirit insects in the cave are complicated and need some handymen to take care of them, so as not to waste their own practice time because of these things.

……

……

Just like that, Zhang Shiping and Qiu Cong walked together, chatting about other things while flying slowly.

Not long after, to the sky above the small green hill.

I saw Du Ming'an and Li Jiantong sitting on a boulder, separated by Zhang Xu, they didn't talk, just sat there blankly.

As for the masters, these two real monarchs restrained their breath, concealed their figures, and watched with great interest in mid-air.

"Who do you think will speak first now? If Ming An speaks first, then I will lose you ten high-grade spirit stones, and if Jiantong, then you will lose to me. Do you want to make a small gamble?" Qiu Cong asked.

"Happy to accompany you." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

Chapter 943 Conversation between Master and Disciple

However, the two true monarchs waited for more than half an hour, and the two young men below did not say a word.

"How about...that's it? Go down." Qiu Cong asked tentatively.

"Alright, it looks like it's a waste of time to wait any longer." Zhang Shiping rubbed his temples and sighed.

After finishing speaking, the two floated down from the clouds against the wind and walked on the mountain road.

Du Mingan was staring at the sky blankly, when he suddenly saw his figure, he pressed one hand on the boulder and jumped off.At this time, Li Jiantong followed closely behind.

"Greetings to Master, Mr. Qiu Congzhen."

"Greetings to Master, Shiheng Zhenjun."

The two bowed their hands together at the same time.

"Get up. How are you talking about?" Qiu Cong asked.

"Teacher and Brother Du just talked about cultivation and alchemy." Li Jiantong said.

"Brother Li is proficient in alchemy and cultivation, the juniors are ashamed of themselves." Du Mingan said softly.

The Du family is just a small family. There is only the patriarch and the two elders who refine qi in the clan. Jingqi Pill, Bigu Pill and other low-level pills.

And Li Jiantong was taught by Qiu Cong, the top alchemy master in the small world, personally. Although he is not a beginner, he is still far superior and incomparable.

He only needs to refine these low-level pills once or twice, and he can steadily control the quality of the pills to be around the middle grade, but because of his own lack of cultivation, mana and spiritual consciousness are still weak, he can't do it yet. A batch of low-grade pills are all high-grade.

However, such attainments in alchemy are much higher than those of many alchemists in the Foundation Establishment period.

Therefore, in terms of alchemy, Du Mingan is naturally far behind.In addition, although his cultivation level is a head higher than Li Jiantong's, these mana powers are obtained out of thin air due to chance, rather than his own little bit of hard work, so his experience in practice is also slightly inferior.

Compared with the Li family who used to be the Nascent Soul family, the monks from a small family have a huge gap in background, so there are differences between the disciples taught by the family.

"Since your spiritual root is not suitable for alchemy, as for the hard work in the future, no one in your master can say that he can definitely be better than him in this regard." Qiu Cong said with a smile.

"You are just getting started, and you are not in a hurry to practice. I will help you sort out the foundation of practice first, and then I will not be in a hurry." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"Thank you, Master." Du Mingan said respectfully.

Hearing this tone, Zhang Shiping understood that the child was still a bit restrained, but just like practicing, the two of them will get along slowly in the future, and the relationship will gradually become closer.

"Okay, then let's go first, I'll take Ming An to Bihu Island, and bring Bai Qi over by the way." Zhang Shiping said goodbye to Qiu Cong.
