Eternal Tranquility

"Oh?" Liu Qinghuan picked up a chess piece and asked casually while thinking about his next move: "What banquet should I never miss?"

I heard Taihao say from the other side: "I made an appointment with some old friends to have a gathering at my cave in half a month. I took out the unused things and exchanged ideas. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

Liu Qinghuan raised her head and her heart suddenly changed: "Private exchange meeting?"

"Yes." Taihao smiled and said, "Maybe there will be something that Taoist friends need by then."

Liu Qinghuan only thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. I haven't participated in an exchange meeting for a long time, so I just want to experience it."

Taihao's social circle is probably all famous monks in the world of Qingming Immortal Cultivation. It is not a bad thing to get in touch with them, and at their level, the things they bring out must not be commonplace.

"Okay!" Taihao stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "If they knew that fellow Taoist Qinglin was going this time, those old guys would definitely be very happy, and they would come running around without urging."

Liu Qinghuan also laughed and asked, "Who are they?"

"You should also know some of them. I have a wide circle of friends. There may be seven or eight friends here this time, such as fellow Taoist Taiqing from Xuanweitian, Master Mingxia from Yanxingchi, and Qingshi Yunshen. Husband and wife, by the way, you, Master Li from Wanhu Realm, have a close relationship with me, so I should be here this time too..."

The two of them chatted while playing chess without paying much attention to the chessboard. After deciding on a small gathering in half a month, Taihao suggested: "Why don't fellow Taoists like me, build a cave on Dagushan?" This will not only facilitate practice, but also facilitate interactions with fellow practitioners, and it will also be more convenient to travel to Qingming in the future."

Liu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, looked around, and said hesitantly: "It's scary to say that I'm a newly promoted Mahayana man with a rough knowledge, so I have to ask fellow Taoists for advice. I don't know who or which force is under the jurisdiction of Dagushan. , private cave... Rent or buy? I am not afraid of fellow Taoist jokes, but now I am a little short of money and I am afraid that I won’t be able to afford many spiritual stones.”

He had previously rented a thunder pool in Qianzhiguang for training, and had rented it for thousands of years, which had cost him a lot of spiritual stones. However, if he could own a cave on Dagushan, it would still be very attractive to him.

Sangushan Mountain, hanging high in the Nine Heavens, can be said to be the highest point in the entire Qingming and even the Three Thousand Worlds. Dagushan Mountain is one level higher than the two mountains next to it. It is a first-class fairy land, not only rich in spiritual energy. To top it off, I heard that there is a fairy cave where Mahayana monks can use it to practice immortality.

After Liu Qinghuan successfully survived the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation, he discovered that some changes had taken place in the spiritual power in his body. There was more of a wisp of clear and ethereal aura, lingering in his Dantian, which was distinct and blended with the surrounding spiritual power. Then It's Xianyuan.

Immortal energy is naturally more powerful than spiritual energy. Ten percent of spiritual energy is only as powerful as half of immortal energy. If you want to reach the immortal level, you need to convert all your spiritual energy into immortal energy.

However, to practice Immortal Energy, you must have the spirit of the Immortal Spirit, which is commonly known as Immortal Energy. In the Three Thousand Worlds, Immortal Energy is extremely rare. Every place where Immortal Energy exists will cause competition among Mahayana monks. .

Sangushan is such a place where Mahayana monks can practice immortal energy. Liu Qinghuan had never thought of owning a cave on Sangushan before, because he had two immortal plants in his hands, and immortal plants can also produce immortal energy. , which can satisfy his training for the time being.

Although he has not yet tried to absorb the immortal energy from the Qiankun Bamboo - he has spent most of the past fifty years recuperating from his injuries. On the other hand, he is also worried that ingesting the immortal energy will affect the growth of the Qiankun Bamboo.

If there could be a cave on Dagushan, this problem would be solved. However, I am afraid that not all monks with Mahayana cultivation can live on Dagushan, at least no one he knows seems to have it, but now Taihao has taken the initiative to mention this matter...

Sure enough, Taihao smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry about the spirit stones. The other two Xiaogushan can indeed rent and buy caves for training, but Dagushan is not included in this list. We don't rent them. Not for sale either.”

He picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip, then continued: "Dagushan is under the Presbyterian Council of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance. If you want to have your own place on Dagushan, you must either reach the late stage of Mahayana cultivation or We Qingming have made a huge contribution. After all, the space on the mountain is limited and cannot accommodate so many people. At the same time, having your own cave in this mountain can be regarded as a symbol of status. "

Liu Qinghuan heard about the existence of the Elders' Council for the first time. The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance manages the affairs of all walks of life on Qing Ming's side. No big deal can go around the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, and this Elders' Council should be the force with the highest power in Qing Ming.

Sure enough, one must reach the corresponding realm before one can gain access to the corresponding power of that realm.

Liu Qinghuan smiled and looked at the other party calmly: "Fellow Taoist, don't be too tight-lipped. Since you mentioned this and said so much, you probably don't just want to show off your cave to me."

"Hahaha, of course not!" Taihao said: "I forgot to mention that there is another way, which is to get the consent of more than half of the Presbyterian Council, and you can also have a place on the mountain. And the old and incompetent are the nine elders of the Presbyterian Council. One, after knowing that you, fellow Taoist Qinglin, have been promoted to Mahayana in the name of Taoist leader, you have successfully persuaded the other fellow Taoists to allocate a cave to you on Dagushan."

Liu Qinghuan was silent for a moment, with a look of joy on his face. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for helping me to this point. I am truly, truly... grateful!"

Taihao held his hand and said happily: "You don't have to be like this. We both belong to Banshan Academy, so naturally we can help."

After a pause, he continued: "To be honest, the academy has been in a bit of trouble in recent years. You should know that people in the academy travel between the two forces and all walks of life, doing things such as undercover investigation and spying. They are always in the middle of the black and white, so it is inevitable If there are a few traitors, they will inevitably be criticized, and there will be even more criticism in the Immortal Alliance..."

Liu Qinghuan still didn't understand anything, so he nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, the academy is good and you can sit upright. A little criticism and criticism will not shake people's hearts."

Taihao didn't say anything more, he just patted his hand meaningfully, then ignored the matter of the academy and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, do you want to visit your cave now?"

Liu Qinghuan's face was happy and she followed the other person outside, but her heart felt a little cold, and she felt like she was freezing at high places.

Sure enough, once one is tainted by power, all kinds of fights are inevitable. Even Mahayana people will still be trapped in power.

On the way, he asked: "I wonder how many elders from the Presbyterian Church are participating in this exchange meeting?"

Taihao introduced him: "There are currently nine elders in the Presbyterian Council. Currently, Sanjizun is among them. There are also several Mahayana monks from the great world, including Li Shan from Wanhu Realm and Hao from Tiandu Realm. Zhenren Yuan, Taoist Chunyang of Guangxiaoshangji Realm..."

The two of them walked down the mountain and chatted, passing many fairy towers. The winding road ahead saw clouds and waterfalls flowing down, and the clear water of Lingtan Lake...
