Ascension Through Generations

In the Lingqiao Grotto, Zhao Sheng was so surprised that he immediately walked to the edge of the pool, took out a jade purification bottle with a big belly and a narrow neck, and stretched out his hand to hit Qiong Ling Jade Liquid.

I saw the spiritual liquid in the pool suddenly flying into a water column, gurgling into the jade pure bottle.

After a few breaths, the jade liquid in the pool was empty, and the jade purification bottle was mostly full.

Zhao Sheng shook the bottle slightly and listened to the sound of water. He felt about two liters.

He smiled with satisfaction. After scanning his surroundings, he suddenly thought of something. He frowned and immediately turned around and left.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

With a bang, Zhao Sheng suddenly flew out of the sea.

In mid-air, he flicked his right hand, and the silver-white flying boat flew out quickly, growing from the size of a palm to the size of three feet.

After jumping on the flying boat, Zhao Sheng's consciousness moved, and the flying boat suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Jiuzhen Island.

In the blink of an eye, the flying boat disappeared into the vast horizon.

Half a day later, the sun set and darkness fell. The various sub-islands of Jiuzhen Island were lit up one after another. The most prosperous and lively Spring and Autumn Island was even more brilliantly lit, lighting up the nearby night sky.

At this time, a silver-white flying boat suddenly broke through the darkness of the night and descended from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it landed under the Huimeng Peak in the center of Spring and Autumn Island.

Huimeng Peak is not high and its area is not large, but it is the core of Jiuzhen Island's spiritual veins and has the strongest spiritual energy.

This place is also the place where senior officials from the Spring and Autumn League go into seclusion and practice hard. The caves of the three great Jindan immortals are on the mountainside of the Huimeng Peak.

Zhao Sheng put away the flying boat, took off his sword, and soon flew to a stone platform that was carved out halfway up the mountain. At the end of the stone platform is a closed bronze door, with two young men in black standing on both sides of the door.

Zhao Sheng stepped forward in a few steps and said loudly: "I am Zhao Chonghe, currently the guest minister of the alliance. I have something important to see Master Qifeng, please tell me on my behalf."

With that said, he took out the guest token and showed it to the two of them.

The young man in black on the right carefully distinguished the authenticity of the token, then bowed quickly and said: "Senior, please wait a moment! I, the junior, will go and report first."

"Well, go ahead!"

The young man in black cupped his hands and turned around to enter the cave.

After a while, the man came back and led Zhao Sheng in.

The two walked through the passage, with exposed stones on the walls and simple stone rooms on both sides.

Zhao Sheng was very surprised when he saw this. He did not expect that the powerful Qifeng Master was actually an ascetic monk.

Passing through the passage, the two came to a simple living room and saw Qifeng Zhenren wearing a gray robe.

Immortal Qifeng was a little unhappy. When he saw Zhao Sheng, he immediately joked: "Boy Zhao, this is the first time that I have seen you come to visit me in these two years. Tell me, what big thing can I help you with?"

Zhao Sheng was so ashamed when he heard this that he quickly begged for mercy.

Only then did Qifeng Lao Dao let him go and asked: "What do you want from me when you see Lao Dao today?"

When Zhao Sheng heard this, his face became solemn, and he immediately invited Ge Chen. Meng Qiyi and Fang Weishan went to hunt the poisonous dragon python, but two died and one escaped. In the end, he was the only one left, but he discovered a spiritual vein and informed Qi. Feng Zhenren.

"Huh? Both Meng Qiyi and Fang Weishan are dead? And you actually discovered the spiritual vein?" Master Qifeng sat upright suddenly, frowning and confirming coldly.

"Hey, didn't Ge Chen tell me? I don't dare to tell any lies. Senior, please see, these are the corpses of Brother Meng and Fellow Daoist Fang."

With that said, Zhao Sheng took out the two bodies and placed them on the floor of the living room.

Master Qifeng took a brief look and his face suddenly turned cold. The bodies of the two people were lying here. There was no way this could be false.

There are only thirty foundation-building monks in the Spring and Autumn Alliance. Excluding neutral ones like Zhao Sheng, there are only eight people who belong to the Qifeng Lao Dao side.

Unfortunately, Fang and Meng were two of the eight people.

This time, if two people die at once, if Old Master Qifeng doesn't get furious, it will be considered as if he has mastered the art of cultivating qi.

The reason why Zhao Sheng came to visit Master Qifeng as soon as he returned to Jiuzhen Island was, of course, to change passivity into initiative.

After all, paper cannot contain the fire!

The death of two foundation-building monks is no small matter. Rather than being asked by someone in the future, it is better to come to the door and confess.

Zhao Sheng did not hand over their storage bags and spiritual weapons, and Master Qifeng did not ask.

Being able to return the corpse is already considered the end of benevolence, and the remaining things are Zhao Sheng's trophies. This is the "hidden rule" passed down from ancient times in the world of immortality, and few people break it.

…

After a moment, two streaks of light flew up from Huimeng Peak, flew over Xiaguang Island, and then fell down.

After seeing the bodies of Fang and Meng, Qifeng immediately took Zhao Sheng to the alchemy master Xu Chong

The purpose is not for anything else, just to get an explanation.

If Fang and Meng cannot reach home, they will die if they die. But when Ge Chen came back, he didn't even get a notification.

This made Master Qifeng very angry. Because what Ge Chen did was not only unreasonable, but also chilling.

Due to his status, Master Qifeng would not cause trouble to the younger generation, but as an elder, Xu Chong must give a satisfactory explanation.

The whole thing is simple and clear.

Zhao Sheng explained it in detail in front of Xu Chong.

After hearing this, Xu Chong felt his face dull.

If your apprentice is not good at being a good person, the master will certainly have no face.

The world of cultivating immortals is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.

Nothing further needs to be said next.

Xu Chong quickly apologized to Master Qifeng, and promised a generous compensation to Fang and Meng's relatives on behalf of his apprentice.

Afterwards, Zhao Sheng heard that Ge Chen was imprisoned in Siguodong for ten years, so he gave an explanation to Master Qifeng.

Zhao Sheng never expected that Ge Chen would not say a word after escaping, and did not even send a message. Who could blame him for ending up in this embarrassing situation?

Maybe Ge Chen thought he was the only one who survived, so he chose to "keep silent".

Early the next morning, Qifeng Laodao, under the leadership of Zhao Sheng, conducted an on-site inspection of the first-order spiritual vein.

After exploring the Lingqiao Stone Cave and confirming that the quality of the spiritual veins was first-level mid-grade, Master Qifeng finally showed a smile on his face.

In the world of cultivating immortals, spiritual veins are the foundation of all cultivating forces. No one would dislike having too many spiritual veins in their hands.

Think about how much Zhao paid to rent the spiritual veins of Longli Lake. After moving to Taiwu Mountain, he participated in the Southern Border Expansion War at the expense of his own life and death. Finally, at the expense of Flame Ridge and Lantao Mountain, he gained ownership of a first-order spiritual vein.

As you can imagine, spiritual veins are rare and precious.

Zhao Sheng also wanted to hide this spiritual vein, but he couldn't.

Don't forget, Ge Chen also knows this place.

Rather than being exposed by Ge Chen, it is better to take the initiative to inform the Spring and Autumn Alliance and get some benefits.

In the Lingmai Stone Cave under the sea, Master Qifeng finished looking at the cave, turned around and said to Zhao Sheng: "There are only you and me here. Think about it carefully, what do you want to exchange it for? Don't worry, I have this Master here. , I’ll make sure you don’t suffer any loss!”

Looking at the meaningful eyes of the old Taoist Qifeng, Zhao Sheng understood what he said.

The meaning of solicitation in people's words couldn't be more obvious.

In this case, don't blame him for being a lion.

"I want to change to a foundation-building elixir recipe, please ask the real person to make it happen!" Zhao Sheng said directly.

Master Qifeng raised his eyebrows and cursed with a smile: "Good boy, you know how to choose the right time, and you really dare to speak."

Seeing this emotion, Zhao Sheng felt relieved, knowing that the matter was settled.

Which one is more important, spiritual veins or foundation-building elixirs? For a force, it is really a matter of opinion.

But from the perspective of Master Qifeng, a mere pill recipe not only exchanged for a spiritual vein, but also recruited a foundation-building monk. This was a very cost-effective way to kill two birds with one stone.

After a while, the two left the underwater spiritual veins and returned to Jiuzhen Island.

Three days later, Zhao Sheng was interviewed by Master Qifeng again, and finally got the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill as he wished.

At the same time, he naturally became a member of Qifeng Lao Dao.

In the next month, Zhao Sheng met with eight of his own foundation-building monks one after another, proving his identity as one of his own.

…

Just after returning to the cave, Zhao Sheng hurriedly walked into the quiet room, waved his hand and released four enchantment charms, establishing an isolation barrier.

Then, he excitedly took out the jade slip that recorded the foundation-building elixir formula, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and examined it carefully.

After a while, Zhao Sheng put away the jade slips with a thoughtful expression on his face.

As far as he knew, the foundation-building pills in Central Continent used Red Fire Zhizhi as the main medicine, but the pill recipe in his hand was different. It used the Thousand-Line Star Alga Fruit as the main foundation-building medicine.

Thousand-striped star algae fruit is a kind of spiritual fruit produced in the Star God Sea. Only during the annual star algae tide, a very small number occasionally float up to the shallow sea and are picked by some lucky people.

In terms of quantity and rarity, Thousand-Line Star Algae Fruits are much rarer than Red Fire Zhizhi.

In other words, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills produced by Broken Star Sea every year is extremely limited, which is far from meeting the needs of Qi-refining cultivators.

Zhao Sheng had taken a picture of a Foundation Building Pill on Fenghuo Island, so he naturally knew that its price was more than twice as expensive as that of Zhongzhou.

After pondering for a while, he put away the elixir slips, took out the jade bottle containing Qiong Ling Jade Liquid, poured out a sip of the liquid, put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

brush!

After the spiritual liquid was in my stomach, I instantly felt an extremely cool breath rushing up from my stomach, passing through the lung meridian and neck, pouring into the Zifu Soul Sea, turning into a pattering of spiritual rain, dripping down, and blending in. In the sea of ​​souls.

In an instant, Zhao Sheng felt as if his brain had been coated with a layer of cooling oil. His whole body was extremely cool and comfortable, his thoughts were extremely clear, and his thinking speed was much faster than before.

At this time, the spiritual consciousness spread unconsciously, and after reaching the maximum range of thirteen feet, it actually expanded outward little by little.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, and it seems to be just a moment.

After the spiritual liquid was completely absorbed, Zhao Sheng was surprised to find that the intensity of his spiritual consciousness had increased slightly, and the range of his spiritual consciousness had also expanded by more than one foot.

Seeing how magical the Qiong Ling Jade Liquid was, Zhao Sheng was so happy that he couldn't help but take another sip.

brush!

The strange state reappeared, and the scope of his consciousness began to expand outward little by little.

…

Three years passed by in a flash.

In Danhuofang City on Xiaguang Island, an alchemy shop called Tianding Pavilion recently opened on Zhenyan Street.

"Do you know who the owner of Tianding Pavilion is?"

At a wine table in a restaurant facing the street, a middle-aged man with a mustache pretended to be mysterious and asked his friends around him.

"Who is it? Lao Li, stop being so pretentious and tell me! In the worst case, I'll take this table." The friend urged impatiently.

The middle-aged man known as Lao Li chuckled and then said, "You know the Alchemist Association has gained a few more alchemists recently, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The friend became anxious after hearing this.

"Don't be anxious!" The middle-aged man smiled and said hurriedly: "The master of Tianding Pavilion is Zhao Chonghe, who has become famous recently. He is not only a newly promoted first-level alchemist, but also an elder of the Spring and Autumn League. . I also heard that Senior Zhao’s strength is unfathomable and he has never lost a fight against anyone.”

"Well, why haven't I heard of his name before?"

"Senior Zhao has always been a low-key person. If my third uncle hadn't interacted with him before, he wouldn't have known how powerful he is."

While the two were talking about Zhao Sheng, the protagonist of the topic was meeting friends in the backyard of Tianding Pavilion.

In the living room, Jin Ming wiped his sweat, and said proudly and with a hint of complaint: "Because of your affairs, my legs were so thin that my voice almost started to smoke."

Zhao Sheng poured him a cup of tea himself and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, thank you for your hard work! I wonder if things are going well?"

Jin Ming took a sip of tea happily and said proudly: "It goes without saying, I have stepped in and you have got what you want."

After speaking, he took out a flaming gourd and carefully handed it to Zhao Sheng's hand.

Zhao Sheng took the gourd, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and saw a palm-sized bright yellow spiritual flame floating inside the gourd, burning quietly.

"Is this the Golden Crow True Fire?" Zhao Sheng couldn't help but ask when he saw this situation.

"Where is this? The Golden Crow True Fire burns the sky and destroys the earth. This little thing doesn't even have one percent of its power. It is at best a gold-burning spiritual flame. Whether you can be promoted to the Golden Crow True Fire in the future depends on whether you can gather it. The seven-color spiritual flames are in full bloom." Jin Ming waved his hands and said indifferently.

Zhao Sheng was not disappointed either. He nodded and said: "So this is the gold-burning spiritual flame, which is not bad. As long as it can be used to make elixirs."

"Brother Zhao, your demands are too high! I don't know how many alchemists in the meeting are looking at this gold-burning spiritual flame, but now it has fallen into your hands. Don't be dissatisfied!" Jin Ming was very angry after hearing this. Unfair.

Zhao Sheng put away the fire gourd and said with a smile: "I didn't say I was dissatisfied. Anyway, everyone competes fairly, and whoever bids higher in the end gets it! Who is to blame if they are reluctant to bid!"

"Hmph, besides me, who in the Alchemist Association knows that your Zhao Dazhai cultivation family is so rich! You are willing to spend 200,000 spiritual stones just for an alchemy spiritual fire."

"Fellow Daoist Jin, do you mean that the hush money I gave you is not enough?"

Hearing this, Jin Ming rolled his eyes and shouted: "I dare not say that. But it would be great if Fellow Daoist Zhao could give some advice on how to refine Ling Yun Dan."

Lingyun Dan is a second-level elixir recorded in ". Baidan Prescription", which is mainly used to improve cultivation.

In just a few years, Jin Ming suddenly discovered that Zhao Sheng's alchemy level had unknowingly surpassed his.

The opponent knew how to refine at least three second-level elixirs, but he failed to refine even one.

Whenever he thinks of this, Jin Ming always feels like he has lived in a dog's belly for a long time.

"That's easy to talk about. Let's go to the underground fire room tomorrow." Zhao Sheng readily agreed.
