longevity road trip

Zhang Shiping stood high in the sky, surrounded by white clouds and water mist, engulfed by spiritual energy, slowly flowing towards the large black thunderclouds, and the wind moved the clouds in all directions.

At the same time, under the thunder cloud is a barren rocky mountain. There is a person sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain. The distance to Zhang Shiping is too far. Even if he uses the sky eye technique, he can only see the thunder cloud and lightning flashes, and he cannot see the barren mountain top at all. The man sitting cross-legged on the boulder.On the contrary, outside the range of the thundercloud, there were dense black spots, but he didn't know if it was the broken rocks blown by the strong wind, or the monks of Zhengyangzong.

After Zhang Shiping was horrified, he suddenly thought of the word Dan Jie in his mind.

That side is not far from Zhengyang Peak, and those who can cross the alchemy here must be the foundation-building monks of the Zhengyang Sect. Looking at the thick black clouds from a distance, Zhang Shiping doesn't know which senior brother it is, whose cultivation has reached such a deep level. the point.

Envious and surprised in his heart, he thought about going up to see how that senior brother survived the tribulation.

There are not many opportunities to watch others cross the catastrophe, but Zhang Shiping resisted the desire to rush over and observe closely. In order not to let others misunderstand, the ancient Qingling boat flew slowly towards the barren rock mountain under Zhang Shiping's control.

When the Qingling ancient boat flew away, the thunderclouds in the sky had already accumulated to the peak, and the Thunder Snake, which was jumping through the black clouds, suddenly turned a few times in the air, zigzagging towards the barren stone mountain.

Zhang Shiping saw that the tribulation thunder had already started to strike, so he couldn't help but speed up the Qingling ancient boat, but when he got closer, about thirty miles away from the black cloud, he saw hundreds of people wearing Zhengyang sect inner sect Monks in disciple costumes.

These are the disciples of the Zhengyang Sect in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment, and they happen to be within the sect. These people drive their own flying magic weapons, and they are suspended in mid-air thirty miles away. !

"Shiping."

Zhang Shiping heard someone calling, turned his head, and saw a person driving a flying magic weapon flying from not far away.

When Zhang Shiping saw the person coming, he was pleasantly surprised, "Uncle, when did you come back?"

The person who came was Zhang Shiping's uncle, Chen Wenguang, who has been on duty at the Ice Spirit Stone Mine in Yuran Mountain all year round. Over the years, he has only been back a few times.

"I just came back the day before yesterday." Chen Wenguang didn't chat with Zhang Shiping, he pointed to the distance, "The opportunity is rare, so watch carefully."

Several bolts of lightning struck down from the thunder cloud, and here Zhang Shiping felt spiritual energy continuously gathering towards the thunder cloud.

The two knew that they wanted to chat about family matters, and they could do it at any time, but there were not many opportunities to watch others go through the alchemy.

Like other foundation-building monks, they unreservedly performed the Celestial Eye technique. Among them, several foundation-building monks who had practiced the secret method of spiritual eyes had no hidden thoughts at this time. Some of their eyes glowed pale gold. Some of them shone with a strange purple light, and they didn't know they were all kinds of secret arts.

It's a pity that Zhang Shiping didn't practice the secret art of spiritual eyes, so he could only do his best to use the celestial eye art, hoping to see more clearly.

But near the thundercloud, the aura was swirling like a vortex, and he could only vaguely see a black spot on the top of the mountain under the thundercloud.

He really couldn't see what method the cultivator used. Zhang Shiping felt that it was a pity, but he could no longer move forward.

Because twenty miles away from the barren stone mountain, in all directions, there are monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, blocking the crowd, and further ahead, there are Zongmen Jindan rushing for them.

When Zhang Shiping just approached, he was warned by Zongmen Jindan's spiritual consciousness, which made everyone stop here.

The sect only notified the cultivators in the late stage of foundation establishment for such a major event, and it was really inappropriate for too many people to know about it, so neither Zhang Shiping nor Chen Wenguang, the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, received any news.

Zhang Shiping looked at the Thunder Snakes, he felt sorry for him, how could he resist this kind of power of heaven and earth?

On the side of Huangshi Mountain, the torn lightning was first blocked by the formation where Huangshi Mountain was located, and the silver-purple plasma flowed down from the golden shield of the formation, constantly consuming the power of the formation, and the color of the shield changed rapidly from golden to light. It was pale white, and then another thunderbolt struck, and the formation was directly broken after blocking a few thunderstorms.

At the same time, Gu Binghua, the foundation cultivator who was manipulating the formation on the top of the barren rock, groaned and kept moving his hands the moment the formation was broken.

While driving the three palm-sized 'green', 'blue', and 'purple' shields that had been flying around his body since he crossed the catastrophe, he suddenly burst into spiritual light and turned into a spiritual shield of Zhangxu, three layers in a row, stacked Together, resist the remaining power of the thunder.

While constantly swallowing the elixir and refining the mana of the elixir, he constantly replenished the mana, so that the liquid mana in the dantian could be condensed together as much as possible.

Outside the edge of the dark clouds in a radius of several miles, in the four directions of east, west, north, south, there is a Jindan cultivator flying through the air, his body shape is not affected by the strong wind at all, as if rooted under his feet, he is fixed in the air, motionless.

To the east is the head of the school, Chang Younian, a scholar in his thirties, holding a purple ruler with flashing purple lace.

To the south is a female cultivator wearing a light blue flowing fairy dress. She is Xie Ping who guards the ice stone mine. It is unknown when she came back from the Zhengyang sect.

To the west is Yunqi, an old man with white hair and a hunchback, and to the north is that Xu Youdan.

The four of them quietly watched Gu Binghua, a late-stage monk of the Zongmen's foundation, crossing the alchemy. Outsiders can't interfere with this kind of thing, and what they can do now is not to let others disturb him.

Silver thunder and lightning intersected in the dark clouds, and at the end of Danjie, a few silver snake-like lightning bolts struck down, and the three shields were broken, scorched into pieces.

Gu Binghua didn't have time to feel sorry for his magical weapon. He cast the secret technique, and his body suddenly swelled by three points. It was not blown away by the strong wind, as if it was alive, it quickly enveloped his body, turning into a deep red oval egg shell, and abruptly took the last blow of the silver thunder.

The duck egg-like blood shell turned into coke and shattered directly, splashing dust.

However, the dark thunderclouds in the sky have not dissipated, and it became extremely calm in an instant, and there was no sound of thunder and lightning. The dark clouds rolled in the thunderclouds, but they were silent, and everything in the world seemed to lose their voice suddenly.

Gu Binghua, who was lying on the ground, endured the pain by force, struggled to get up, grinned and sat cross-legged, and immediately guarded his mind, he knew that the final demon had come.

The four Golden Core monks knew that Dan Jie had reached the most dangerous time, so they took more vigilance to protect them.

In Zhengyangzong, the cave house behind Zhengyang Peak, the short and fat old monster Wang was already outside the cave house, and he didn't appear directly, but he was always ready to make a move.

Although a foundation-building cultivator's alchemy will not affect too much, and the strength of the sects will not be out of balance because of one more golden core, but the Yuanying ancestor is still worried. One more golden core in the sect, Many things are easier to do.

But as time passed, he withdrew his consciousness and returned to the cave with a disappointed face.

The aura in the dark clouds outside did not gather anymore, and did not pour down towards Gu Binghua on the barren rock mountain. They began to dissipate, and everything became clear again soon.

Chang Younian looked at the embarrassed Gu Binghua below, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, only the final test of inner demons remained in the Dan Jie, but unfortunately he still failed, otherwise today the sect would have given birth to a person who can call each other a Taoist friend Jindan monk.

The female cultivator Xie Ping and the three Jindan also rushed over immediately.With a wave of her long sleeves, she lifted the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been seriously injured and unconscious, and emitted a blue-white aura to wrap Gu Binghua around him, stabilizing his injury.

After watching him get better, he took out a dark green pill that exuded vitality from his storage bag, the dark green pill the size of a longan, and flew to his lips.

Under Xie Ping's control, Gu Binghua, who was seriously injured and unconscious, opened his mouth, and after the pill entered, it turned into a warm current, nourishing his seriously injured body.

Chapter 101

Seeing that Dan Jie dissipated, the nearby foundation-building monks scattered away in twos and threes, but there were still a few foundation-building monks flying towards Gu Binghua. They were Gu Binghua's friends.

Before Gu Binghua crossed the catastrophe, he also talked to these friends and invited them to watch, so these few people were also a little closer to the monks in the later stage of foundation establishment.

As for Zhang Shiping's hundred or so Foundation Establishment cultivators present, most of them still don't know which senior brother from the sect is crossing the Dan Tribulation.

But before Gu Binghua and his friends flew over, Chang Younian, Xie Ping and other four Golden Core cultivators had already waved their hands with a blue light, swept him away, and returned to Zhengyang Peak in a blink of an eye.

During this tribulation, Gu Binghua's magic weapon was mostly destroyed, but now he is seriously injured, his chest heaves, his breath is unstable, and his cultivation in the later stage of foundation establishment is greatly damaged.

For the current plan, he can only heal his injuries first, and then improve his cultivation base. This way, a lot of time is wasted, but he still has decades of lifespan, maybe before the end is approaching. , can still fight hard.

But in this case, the chance of success is extremely slim, and several of them Jindan monks often know it.On the road of practice, time waits for no one, but there is still some hope.

On the other side, Zhang Shiping, Chen Wenguang and others saw the thunderclouds dissipate, and the spiritual energy collapsed in all directions again. They did not see the kind in the book records. The spiritual energy gathered in the sky like a whirlpool, making a sound like the sound of bells and drums, falling from the sky , Infused into the body, that kind of grand scene of dragon and tiger fighting each other.

The senior brother in the late stage of foundation establishment obviously failed to form the alchemy, and the two felt a little indescribably sad, things hurt the same kind, and people share the same heart.

Those who were more moved were those monks in the late stage of foundation building, among them Zhao Wuxie who had already built the ninth floor and was only one step away from forming a pill. His "Jiuyou Guishui Jing" had already cultivated to an extremely high level Nadan Jie might come down in a few years.

There are also foundation-building monks who are extremely confident in themselves and take the initiative to receive Dan Jie. Of course, such people are very few, and everyone wants to spend more time preparing. The mana is constantly refined and concentrated, and slowly waits for the pill calamity to come naturally.

Zhang Shiping followed Chen Wenguang to his cave.Zhang Shiping originally wanted to visit Xu Youdan's Wuxin Lake and inquire about how Fengpeng's magic weapon for imperial wings is trained.

But since there are people in the sect who are crossing the tribulation, Master Xu, as a Golden Core cultivator, should come out to protect him. He might not be free today, maybe it would be better if he went tomorrow, Zhang Shiping thought in his heart.

Chen Wenguang drove a long shuttle magic weapon in front, Zhang Shiping stepped on the ancient Qingling boat behind, the two did not speak along the way, they were immersed in the alchemy just now.

Although they were far away just now and did not see clearly Gu Binghua's means of resisting the robbery thunder, they saw that the robbery thunder was raging rampantly on the barren rock mountain, and the whole mountain was scorched black and almost turned into ruins.

From the first thunderbolt struck by the dark clouds to the last moment, Zhang Shiping stood on the ancient Qingling boat thinking, he didn't know if he could block one of them.

As for whether the tribulation thunder's power is from small to large, or if every one is similar, Zhang Shiping doesn't know.The Zhang family has never produced a Golden Core cultivator, not even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who could trigger the Alchemy Tribulation, and there is no record in the family about how to survive the Alchemy Tribulation.

In the Zhengyangzong Sutra Pavilion, he consulted and recorded the jade slips over the years, and did not mention the specifics. At most, he mentioned that after the pill calamity, the aura between heaven and earth was like a waterspout, pouring spirits into the body, The confluence of the dragon and the tiger marks the vision of heaven and earth that has successfully formed an alchemy.

Zhang Shiping felt very puzzled, so he asked Chen Wenguang who was driving the long shuttle flying magic weapon in front, and Chen Wenguang knew very little about this question, after all, he was only at the third level of foundation building, and he hadn't even reached the middle stage of foundation building .

However, Chen Wenguang once heard from Wang Yuanwei, a senior at the Foreign Affairs Hall, that for Dan Jie, there is of course a record in the sect, and it is extremely detailed.

However, the specific situation will not be informed by the head of the sect until the monk reaches the late stage of foundation establishment, and the person needs to swear an oath.

If the cultivator fails to cross the tribulation, he cannot divulge any news about the calamity that he knows.And even if the cultivator succeeds in forming the alchemy, he must ensure that the news of the alchemy robbery cannot be publicized. Only the news of the alchemy robbery can be used to inform people who are close to him at least in the later stage of foundation establishment.

But if there are Golden Core cultivators who succeed in conceiving babies, then such a small vow can't restrain them at all.

There is a saying that it is not difficult for those who meet, but not for those who are difficult.Whether it is successful or not, sometimes it is just a little bit, just a little bit when the thumb and index finger are pinched.

But sometimes it's just this little bit of information that happens to trap a casual cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, some casual cultivators in the later stage of foundation establishment have not been inherited by the predecessors. In order to obtain this information and increase the chance of forming alchemy a little bit, many people voluntarily become the sect or family guest minister.After all, it is beneficial to both parties, so it is natural to hit it off.

As for this kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive matter, all sects, or everyone who knows about Dan Jie, subconsciously keep this secret.

Why do I spend a lot of effort, but others can get it for nothing? There are many people who have this kind of mentality. Besides, monks have to worry about the vows they made.

But after all, there are monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, without knowing the news about the pill robbery in advance, they can also meet the dragon and the tiger, and successfully form the pill, which is another matter.

……

The next day, at Maoshi, the sun broke.

The pale golden morning light in the east, through the still gray clouds, under the sky, there are mountains and ravines, towering ancient trees, and emerald green mountains.

The moisture left over at night condenses into small water droplets on the emerald green branches and leaves, and some water droplets hang on the tip of the leaves, as if about to drip.

The water droplets reflect the sky, and the white clouds and birds take pictures, as if a corner of the world is included in it and turned into a small world.

The birds in the forest were chirping, and a flying boat flew by in the distance, and the leaves were blown by the wind, and the water droplets on the tip of the leaves dripped and hit another leaf underneath, with a 'tick' sound, a little Water splashes.

Zhang Shiping on the flying boat rested overnight in his uncle Chen Wenguang's cave. At dawn, Zhang Shiping bid farewell to his uncle.

The two of them chatted for most of the day yesterday. Apart from some daily concerns, it was more about the matter of the Bingling Stone Mine. Zhang Shiping was asking, and Chen Wenguang was talking.

Because Zhang Shiping planned to take the mission there after building the third floor by himself, and when his uncle just came back, he would learn more about it, so as to be prepared.

Because no matter whether it is spirit stone or elixir on hand, he can only support him to the third floor of foundation building. If he wants to break through and become a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, it will take too long to practice hard.

No matter how miraculous the bronze lamp is, it only speeds up Zhang Shiping's cultivation, and it doesn't help to break through the bottleneck. He is still the monk with the three spiritual roots, not the real arrogance of the heavenly root.

Of course, Zhang Shiping can also rely on the bronze lamp to continuously refine his mana, and use the pure and thick mana to attack the bottleneck, but building the foundation is more difficult than the next level.

Zhang Shiping originally thought that he would continue to cultivate hard, maybe after a hundred years, his cultivation base would reach the late stage of foundation establishment, or even the level of perfection, but by then he would be very old.

At that time, if one can pass through the calamity of alchemy and achieve golden alchemy in one fell swoop, then it is good to say that one can live freely for hundreds of years.But what if it fails?

Ever since he watched the thunderstorm-ravaged Pill Tribulation yesterday, Zhang Shiping's heart has been chilled, and he has no confidence at all. The power of heaven and earth is deeply rooted in his heart, and his spiritual sense tells him to keep practicing hard.Even if the cultivation base has been achieved, but there is no strong way to protect the way, he will definitely be turned into ashes under the tribulation and thunder, and his body will die and his way will disappear.

The Qingling ancient boat was several tens of feet high from the tree crown, Zhang Shiping stood on the flying boat without propping up the aura shield, the strong wind blowing head-on hit him, calming his mind down a bit.

When the strong wind blows, Zhang Shiping squints his eyes and looks ahead, the world is so vast and boundless, even if it takes a hundred years or a thousand years, he still can't get enough of this magnificent river and mountain.

He took advantage of the strong wind to calm down his mind, pulled out the fear that Dan Jie had left in his heart, his eyes narrowed, and the idea of ​​longevity became more determined in his heart.

Chapter 102 Residual Fear

When approaching Wuxin Lake, the sky was already full of golden light. Zhang Shiping re-supported the aura shield on the flying boat, flew slowly, and carefully arranged the clothes that were blown away by the wind just now.

After tidying up his clothes on the flying boat, Zhang Shiping gave a soft shout of 'sickness', and the ancient Qingling boat flew over the high altitude of Wuxin Lake, and didn't stop until it was outside the formation of Wuming Mountain where Xu Youdan was.

The Qingling ancient boat stopped a few dozen feet away from the lake, and he didn't dare to get too close to the lake.

The underground spiritual veins gushed out, creating Wuming Mountain, a third-order spiritual mountain.Although most of the spiritual energy was gathered by the formation of Wuming Mountain, some of it scattered into the lake, and some places at the bottom of Wuxin Lake had strange terrains, which seemed to be formed naturally, and had the effect of gathering spiritual energy. The spiritual energy concentration in those places is not lower than that of ordinary second-order spiritual mountains.

Wuxin Lake has bred a lot of monsters and fish monsters through this, and I heard that there are second-level top-grade fish monsters among them. I don’t know if there is Zhang Shiping, but he still has to be careful.Uncle Xu, a Jindan cultivator, doesn't pay attention to these second-order fish monsters. Zhang Shiping doesn't have the confidence to stay a little higher and safer.

Zhang Shiping wiped it in his storage bag and took out the sound transmission talisman, but he didn't send it directly into the formation. Instead, he wondered if he really should trouble Uncle Xu for the mere method of refining Fengpeng's wings. A Jindan monk.

Although Mr. Xu said that the ancestors of the Zhang family had taught him, hundreds of years have passed.No matter how good the relationship between the ancestor and Uncle Xu was at that time, after such a long time, there will only be memories left.

What's more, Master Xu also gifted him this ancient Qingling boat. If it is according to Zhang Shiping's temperament, it is already repaying the kindness and ending the cause and effect.

When Zhang Shiping was in deep thought, the formation of Wuming Mountain cracked open, and a monk in green shirt stepped on a flying sword flew out, flew towards Zhang Shiping, and stopped about five feet away.

Zhang Shiping looks like a man, with long sword eyebrows and star eyes, but his temples are already gray, he is not young, he is a monk of the third level of foundation building.

"Fellow Daoist, can you be called Junior Brother Zhang Shiping?" He cupped his fists and said.

"This is Zhang Shiping, what's your name, brother?" Zhang Shiping has never met this senior brother who established the foundation in the sect, after all, he doesn't know many monks who established the foundation.

"The old man's surname is Tai Mingyan, Master Xu is summoning Junior Brother Zhang to enter." Tai Yan pointed to the closed opening in the back of the formation, and smiled.

Taiyan just came back from his mission, because Xu Youdan announced it, so he came directly to Wuxin Lake to report to him.

After he finished the task, Xu Youdan asked him to step down and called Zhang Shiping in by the way.Taiyan has been in his early hundred years since the establishment of the foundation, and his cultivation has only relied on water grinding. When he reaches the third floor of the foundation, he may not be able to break through the middle stage of the foundation, let alone the late stage of the foundation or even the formation of alchemy.

So these years, he has almost been taking on missions from the sect and making some plans for the younger generation of the family.He has lived for so long, and his eyes are very accurate in seeing people. A monk like Zhang Shiping who looks young and has already built the second floor of the foundation will definitely be higher than him in the future.

At this time, if you don't want to make friends and get acquainted, when will you wait?

"Brother, if you are free in the future, you are welcome to come to Wuhua Mountain often, and the brother will definitely sweep the couch to welcome you."

Wuhua Mountain, Zhang Shiping has a little impression of this place. Xu is the second-level spiritual mountain where Senior Brother Tai is. Through the array entrance.

The Qingling ancient boat flew towards the foot of the mountain, Zhang Shiping jumped off when it was about ten feet away from the ground, the flying boat shone with aura, slowly became smaller and landed on his palm, he raised his hand and put it into the storage bag.

Then he followed the puppet attendant waiting at the foot of the mountain, went up the stone steps of the mountain road, and passed by the pavilion where he met Master Xu for the first time. Walk along a path.

Bamboos are planted on both sides of this trail, the bamboo leaves are rustling, the bamboo poles are golden and strong, and the bamboo posture is elegant and elegant.Zhang Shiping looked at these Jin Sizhu who were in their early years, he didn't expect this uncle Xu to have such elegant taste.
