longevity road trip

The puppet took Zhang Shiping slowly for half a cup of tea time. When he reached the end of the path, Zhang Shiping saw a strange red stone wall in front of him. There was an entrance. The stone door had already been opened. Inside the stone gate.

After passing a twenty-foot-long stone road, Zhang Shiping found himself in a tiankeng, faint light came from the mouth of the tiankeng, and pine and bamboo vines grew on the round wall of the tiankeng.Zhang Shiping looked up, but he didn't see a formation blocking the entrance of the tiankeng, so it probably wasn't opened.

In the middle of the tiankeng lay a huge boulder, surging spiritual energy gushed out from under the boulder, Xu Youdan sat on the top of the boulder, and he didn't know what kind of kung fu he was practicing.

He does not meditate normally like Zhang Shiping, but props his head with one hand, lying on a boulder, gushing out from the bottom of the boulder, the spiritual energy visible to the naked eye follows his breathing, and is all sucked into his body by him. This made Zhang Shiping dumbfounded.

After a few breaths, Xu Youdan opened his eyes and did not continue to practice, and the large amount of spiritual energy filled the Tiankeng again.

"Shiping, why are you looking for me?" Xu Youdan didn't get up, he was still lying on the boulder, and asked Zhang Shiping, his voice echoed because of the stone wall of the tiankeng.

Zhang Shiping naturally wanted to ask about the forging method of the "Fengpeng Yu" wing magic weapon. After all, the other party was a Jindan monk who had lived for hundreds of years and was well-informed. He might know how to forge this type of magic weapon.Zhang Shiping expressed what he wanted to ask concisely and clearly with a feeling of apprehension.

After Xu Youdan finished listening, he didn't directly reject Zhang Shiping. After reading Zhang Shiping's "Feng Peng Yu" kung fu jade slips, he thought for a while and said:

"I do know several methods of forging wings, but none of them are compatible with your method. This kind of magic weapon that matches the method is often a little bit different, and there is no specific forging method. , It is almost impossible to forge it. I advise you not to waste time and energy on this."

Hearing what Uncle Xu said, he was sure that it would be impossible for him to forge Dharma Wings. Zhang Shiping felt very disappointed in his heart, and also regretted that he had obtained the "Feng Peng Yu" exercise, which would give him a little more chance of saving his life.

The Fayi is different from the Flying Boat. Although it consumes more mana, it is simple and convenient to use. It is different from the Qingling Ancient Boat, which requires a few breaths of activation time.

Flapping his wings, he instantly distanced himself from others. Among the foundation-building monks of the same level of cultivation, if Zhang Shiping could grasp the initiative, the rhythm of the fighting would be in his hands.Even in the hands of the middle stage of foundation establishment, Zhang Shiping can rely on the magic wings to have more chances of escape.

Zhang Shiping was really not reconciled, and suddenly got hotheaded, and asked Master Xu if he could use other methods for forging wings as a reference.

When Xu Youdan heard that Zhang Shiping was still unwilling to give up and said nothing, he snorted coldly, stared at Zhang Shiping, and instantly made him feel a heavy pressure, as if a heavy burden was on his shoulders.

Seeing that Uncle Xu was not happy, Zhang Shiping quickly confessed.

Uncle Xu then ordered Zhang Shiping by ear for a while, and then let Zhang Shiping leave.He looked at Zhang Shiping's back with deep star-like eyes, feeling very strange, and felt that with Zhang Shiping's temperament of a junior, he shouldn't be so rough in dealing with things.

Xu Youdan sat up on the boulder, looked at the stone road, seemed to understand something, and finally pondered for a moment, then waved a red light.

After Zhang Shiping walked through the stone path and exited the stone gate, he heaved a sigh of relief, smiled wryly and patted his forehead, why was he so stupid just now, he was so outspoken, and directly asked others about the method, or a Jindan cultivator.

If it was replaced by Jin Dan with a bad temper, wouldn't he be...

Fortunately, Zhang Shiping thought that he must be vigilant in doing things in the future, and he must not be reckless.

At the same time, Zhang Shiping's face sank just like his mood. It seems that Dan Jie had left a deep impression on him, so that he was inexplicably anxious and fear remained in his heart, even though he had just been calm and calm all the way. However, the so-called firmness is just an appearance.

Fear is still in my heart, and it won't be able to get rid of it all in a short while.

No wonder the Zongmen didn't inform the Zongmen cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment to watch Dan Jie.

Fortunately, he was tens of miles away, and he hadn't personally felt the power of Dan Jie, Zhang Shiping rubbed his eyebrows and thought.

When the stone gate that was originally opened was slowly closed with a bang, Zhang Shiping saw that Master Xu closed the cave directly, and knew that he was not welcome, he became dizzy for a while, and angered Master Xu, it really shouldn't be, Zhang Shiping walked away with a heavy step.

When the stone gate was closed and there was only a crack in the stone, a red light flew out from inside and flew towards the outside.

Zhang Shiping had already descended the stone steps and stepped onto the trail. His ears moved slightly, and he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a red light flying towards him. It stopped in front of him. The red light disappeared, and a jade slip appeared before his eyes.

He took the jade slip and put it between his eyebrows. After a while, he left Wuxin Lake with an extremely strange expression.

On the Qingling ancient boat, Zhang Shiping glanced at the unnamed mountain behind him, and immediately input his own mana, the flying boat sailed against the wind, and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Chapter 103

Zhang Shiping did not go back directly to Kunshan, but flew towards the northwest.

After Xu Shishu raised his face and ordered him to come out of his cave, Zhang Shiping was alerted, and at the same time, he also thought about why he had to refine Dharma Wings himself, and why he was obsessed with the "Feng Peng Yu" exercise.

No matter how dazzled it is written, no matter how touching it is, if there is no matching method of forging, it won’t work if it doesn’t work. If you can’t force it, why bother to be obsessed with it.He might as well hand over the wings of this bird of prey to others, and ask others to refine them into suitable magic weapons.

Although the bird of prey had been dead for a long time and its spirituality was damaged, it was still a Tier [-] beast. If a skilled craftsman were invited to forge a Tier [-] magic weapon, it might be possible.

In the Zongmen, Zhang Shiping is not very familiar with the foundation-building cultivators who can refine the second-order magic weapon. Most of them are casual acquaintances. In the square market, it is more convenient to pay some spirit stones to find the refiner in the refiner's shop, and more importantly, you don't have to owe others favors.

Like ordinary refining shops, the craftsmanship is not as good as imagined.After his thick-soiled purple gold shield was repaired, he only had to fight that Master Su of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect, and immediately something went wrong.

When he thought of this, he immediately grinned his teeth in pain, and really wanted to smash the shop, but he had already taken the thick earth and purple gold shield, which according to the rules of the market, the two parties have no relationship.

Although it may be that this piece of thick-soil purple gold shield is not suitable for the fighting skills between the foundation-building monks, it more or less shows that the craftsmanship of the shop's craftsman is not good.

Zhang Shiping wanted to find a skilled craftsman, Zhang Shiping thought for a while, he had heard from others that in the northwest, there was a city in red, which was the largest city where monks gathered in the south of Baimang Mountain.

If you want to open a refining shop there, the craftsmanship of the refining masters is always better than that of some small workshops.

Zhang Shiping drove the Qingling ancient boat, thinking deeply, happened to look up and saw an acquaintance flying from the other side in front of him, and the two stopped at a distance of Zhang Xu.

"Senior Brother Ye." Zhang Shiping was very respectful. The person who came was Ye Yuanwei, the master of the Palace of Foreign Affairs, a monk in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

He stopped and called Junior Brother Zhang, and the two chatted casually, but after a while, they left again.From the beginning to the end, neither of them asked the other where they came from, where they were going, what they were going to do, and such things.

After encountering Senior Brother Ye, the master of the Palace of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Shiping flew all the way, and when he was about to leave Zhengyangzong, it was already dark.Zhang Shiping was not in a hurry to hurry, and there was a small market below, so fortunately he stopped.

Zhang Shiping entered Fangshi from the entrance of a huge stone phantom array. At this time, there were only a few Qi practitioners in the streets of Fangshi, and one of them was a disciple of the outer sect of Zhengyang Sect in black, walking towards the exit. .

"Where is the inn in Fangshi?" Zhang Shiping asked when he met the outer disciple.

The man was a man in his thirties. Just now, he had seen Zhang Shiping, the uncle of the inner sect, by the lanterns hung on the lintel of the store on both sides of the street, and heard Zhang Shiping asking him.

"Go straight to this street, turn right at the third intersection ahead, and then go straight for a while and you will arrive at the Yingke Building." He said to Zhang Shiping very respectfully, and pointed to the front by the way.

"This uncle, my disciple will take you there." He suddenly had an idea.

Seeing Zhang Shiping nod his head, the outer disciple turned around and walked in front, as if to open the way for Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping followed this outer disciple, walked for half a cup of tea, and arrived at the entrance of this inn called Yingkelou. With dinner.

As soon as they saw Zhang Shiping coming, a sharp-eyed boy in blue with a white towel on his shoulders bowed slightly and hurried over to greet him.

However, this outer sect disciple of the Zhengyang Sect directly waved his hand to let the boy in blue go aside, and smiled at Zhang Shiping: "Master, among the inns in Fangshi, the Yingke Building is the best, with good food and good accommodation." It's also comfortable for people who live here." As he spoke, he put on a respectful attitude and asked Zhang Shiping to come in first.

Zhang Shiping glanced at the outer disciple, and knew what this person was probably planning. He reached out and touched the storage bag on his waist, and a spirit stone appeared in his hand, and he threw it over.

"You go first."

The man immediately reached out to catch it, with a smile on his face, "Thank you, uncle."

Zhang Shiping stepped into the door, and the blue-clothed boy greeted him immediately. The people at the tables in the hall who were drinking, eating and chatting saw a man dressed as an inner sect disciple with a deep breath. After Brother Ki came in, everyone fell silent.

The shopkeeper who was greeting regular customers just now came over with a smile.The [-]-something-year-old outer disciple at the door saw the master uncle of the sect entering, and left without calling him again.

He had already kept that spirit stone in his arms, and got a spirit stone for nothing.For things like spirit stones, one piece is not too little, and two pieces are not too many.

Zhang Shiping didn't stay downstairs much. After hearing that Zhang Shiping wanted to stay in the hotel, the shopkeeper of the Yingke Building personally took Zhang Shiping to the backyard and chose a good guest room of Tianzi Brand for him.

The room layout is good, and Zhang Shiping feels comfortable at first glance.However, there is not even a small formation for gathering spirits in this welcoming building. In this regard, it is not as good as Bairui and Yunjin, which are larger. Of course, the price is naturally much cheaper.

After Zhang Shiping entered the room, he let go of his consciousness, and immediately checked the room carefully. After finding nothing abnormal, he took out five small triangular flags of different colors from the storage bag.

Four of them landed at the four corners of the room, and one flag was three points higher than the center of the room, three points above the ground.

After completing the basic protective formation, Zhang Shiping sat on the chair in the room, took out a brocade box from the storage bag, and took out the contents.

It was when he came out of Uncle Xu's cave in Wuming Mountain earlier, the jade slip that he handed out was green with red in it, and it felt slightly warm in his hand.

Looking at this piece of jade slip, Zhang Shiping was silent for a moment, feeling a little complicated, holding this piece of jade slip seemed to be extremely heavy.

In the end, he took a deep breath, put the jade slip on his brows again, and began to study every word.

It records Xu Youdan's personal insights from foundation building to golden core, the cultivation gains of each level during the foundation building period, and briefly lists several methods on how to break through the golden core, with more than [-] words eloquently.

Although there is no clear explanation on how to overcome the alchemy tribulation, the array, magic weapon and elixirs mentioned in the jade slip at the end.When Zhang Shiping saw it, he understood in his heart that these were the means of crossing the catastrophe.

However, the last of these things are written in a very brief manner, focusing on the cultivation insights in the middle and even later stages of foundation establishment.

Zhang Shiping sighed, wherever this piece of jade is placed, it is a priceless treasure, a good thing that is worth a thousand dollars, and can be regarded as a family heirloom and passed on from generation to generation.

Not to mention the foundation-building families like the Zhang family in Baiyuan Mountain, even the Golden Core families in Baimang Mountain, who saw the cultivation insights of the Golden Core monks, would spend a lot of money to buy them.

Chapter 104 Red City

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. The insight of a Golden Core cultivator during the foundation-building period can save many foundation-establishing monks from detours, and maybe cultivate more foundation-establishing monks.

Zhang Shiping read at night by candlelight. After one night, he read all the contents of the early stage of foundation establishment. It is worthy of the practice experience recorded by the Golden Core monk.

After putting the jade slips into the brocade box again, Zhang Shiping, who had some insight, immediately arranged the spirit-gathering formation, took out the spirit stones and placed them in it.Then people sit cross-legged on the futon in the formation, and sort out what they have gained.

However, Zhang Shiping did not take out the bronze lamp. The simple formation he hastily arranged could not prevent the investigation of the Foundation Establishment monks.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, when Zhang Shiping was consolidating his practice and making up for what he had neglected in the previous practice, the shopkeeper of the Yingke Building came over every day, seeing that there was a barrier outside the door, and a young boy in the shop was waiting outside. Then, the others left again.

Time passed slowly, until about half a month later, Zhang Shiping opened his eyes, his eyes shone brightly, and there was a faint flash of light on his face, then he restrained himself and disappeared.

His cultivation has not improved much, and he is still at the second floor of Foundation Establishment, but his mana is running much more smoothly than before.

Zhang Shiping took out the Illusionary Jade Shield from the storage bag, and it emitted a blue aura. He said a few words of magic formula lightly, and the Illusionary Jade Shield melted like jade liquid into the aura shield.

Then under Zhang Shiping's control, this low-grade magic weapon of the second rank was condensed again and turned into round and square shields of various shapes. After several trials, Zhang Shiping put it away with satisfaction.

Although he was able to change the shape of the Illusory Luo Jasper Shield before, it felt a little unnatural in the process, unlike that he can do whatever he wants now.

At first, I thought that this magic weapon was just like this, but I didn't think that part of it was because of my own problems.

Zhang Shiping was in a good mood, he stretched out his hand to grab the flags of the isolation formation and gathering spirit formation in the room together, put away the remaining spirit stones, and pushed open the door.

The shopkeeper of the welcoming building outside the door came over to Zhang Shiping's guest room as usual.The shopkeeper wasn't worried that Zhang Shiping, an inner sect master, would run away from the bill just for the rent of one spirit stone a month.

He mainly came here to see what Zhang Shiping had to say. It would be bad if the servants in the store were clumsy and clumsy, so whenever he was free, he would come over and take a look.

The boy guarding outside the yard was sitting bored on a rock, holding a dead branch, lowering his head and paddling on the ground.He walked over and coughed a few times, seeing that the boy didn't react for a while, he was about to reprimand him.

"Crackling..." He heard the sound of the door opening, turned around and saw Zhang Shiping pushing the door out, and hurried forward without scrutinizing the distracted servant.

"Junior Liu Yukang pays his respects to senior." The shopkeeper came to Zhang Shiping in three steps at a time.

"It's shopkeeper Liu, just right, this is the rent." Zhang Shiping was in a very happy mood, with a smile on his face, and his tone was soft, because he was relaxed after sorting out all kinds of things in himself.

However, after being delayed for more than half a month, he was about to go to the counter to check out.Now that the shopkeeper of the Yingke Building is at the door, he took out a piece of spirit stone and used it as the rent, without any change of gold or silver.

Shopkeeper Liu subconsciously took the Lingshi, and just as he was about to say something, Zhang Shiping flashed in front of his eyes. Before he subconsciously said the word "please slow down", Zhang Shiping had disappeared.

The boy who came back to his senses from behind opened his mouth and rubbed his eyes, looking like a ghost.

Then shopkeeper Liu held the spirit stone, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, looking annoyed. Seeing that the senior was in such a good mood, maybe it might not be possible for things to happen.

He has already brought his smartest grandson into the store. Although the spirit root is not very good, it is not bad.

He originally thought that after Zhang Shiping came out of customs, he would let his grandson wander around in front of Zhang Shiping, to see if he could be accepted by Zhang Shiping, the senior who established the foundation, maybe it was a good match.

How could he have thought that Zhang Shiping would disappear after paying the rent without saying a word, which made all his plans come to naught.He sighed, not in the mood to reprimand the boy anymore, turned around and walked back to the shop.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, he calmed down and continued to greet the guests with a smile:

"Lao Luo, this way please."

"Old Lin, it's been a while since I've seen you. The private seat on the second floor is reserved for you."

Life has to go on.

"Young master, young master." A three or four-year-old Zongjiao boy ran from the backyard into the hall, followed closely by a maidservant, obviously not weak in martial arts.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at his little grandson, walked over a few steps, and picked him up. The little boy smiled and pulled his beard.

At the entrance of Fangshi, the huge boulder formed by the formation method, rippled like a stone thrown by water, and Zhang Shiping stepped out with one foot.

He wiped it in his storage bag, took out the ancient Qingling boat and threw it into the sky, the flying boat immediately became Zhang Xu long, and the others flashed, stepped on the flying boat, and flew towards the Red Clothed City in the northwest direction.

……

Three days later, a ray of blue light came through the sky, and Zhang Shiping drove the ancient Qingling boat to look ahead.

He vaguely saw a black spot in front of him in the clouds and mist, Zhang Shiping stepped on the flying boat, and the bow of the ancient Qingling boat flew downwards obliquely, after passing through the clouds and mist.

Zhang Shiping saw a high mountain in front of him, it was a little far away, and he couldn't see it clearly. He only saw half of it disappeared into the clouds, and the remaining part below the mountainside was densely packed with buildings. He looked at the so-called city in red. , a little dumbfounded.

The Red Clothes City is outside the territory of the Zhengyang Sect, Qiyun Sect, and Xuanhuo Sect, and does not belong to any party. It is rumored that the owner of the Red Clothes City is a couple of Nascent Soul monks who have not established a sect, but like Travel around freely, the dragon sees the head but does not see the end.As for why it was called the Red Clothes City, it was because the two Nascent Soul cultivators liked the name.

Now the Red Clothes City is in charge of their four Jindan disciples, but Zhang Shiping has never heard of who they are.

Without hesitation, Zhang Shiping urged the ancient Qingling boat again, speeding up and galloping towards the city in red.

After a while, Zhang Shiping got closer and closer to Hongyi City, and the mountain was clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

From the outermost place at the foot of the mountain stood a city wall tens of feet high, and the buildings inside were built from the plain at the beginning, layer by layer, towards the mountain peak.

The building is like a spiral, circling the mountain peak until it disappears into the clouds.

Zhang Shiping was on the Qingling ancient boat, looking down and then looking up.

Suddenly he felt the flying boat sinking violently, Zhang Shiping knew that he had reached the edge of the forbidden air formation in Hongyi City.The power of the formation in the Red Clothed City is not bad, and ordinary monks in the Qi training period can only stop honestly and enter through the city gate.
