I rely on length to cultivate immortality

"Dog dragon? It's what I thought, dog and dragon..." Li Xiuchang suspected that he had misunderstood.

"Yes." Fire Sparrow King nodded, "It's what you thought."

This is a bit outrageous...

White tiger and lion, at least they are both cats.

Vermilion Bird and Peacock, they are also "sparrows".

How did Azure Dragon and dog match up?

This is really tricky!

The topic raised by Li Xiuchang successfully aroused the interest of Fire Sparrow King. The cold image he had just maintained could not be maintained. He talked freely and told the romantic history of Azure Dragon.

"The Qinglong family is so prosperous that it is unmatched by the other three families. Even if we put our Zhuque, Xuanwu and Baihu families together, we can't even compare to one tenth of their Qinglong family..."

"Our three ancestors have at most dozens of descendants, but Qinglong has thousands or even tens of thousands of descendants!"

"After so many years, many Qinglong descendants have died, most of them died in the immortal calamity, but the skinny Qinglong is bigger than the bird, and the number of Qinglong family members is still unimaginable..."

Li Xiuchang took a breath: "Thousands of children? Senior Qinglong is really busy!"

The Fire Sparrow King coughed: "It's because he died early, otherwise if he had lived to this day, I don't know how many times this number would have doubled. And the dragon gives birth to thousands of sons, each with its own characteristics, do you understand what it means?"

"This... means 10,000 children and 10,000 mothers?"

"Smart!" The Fire Sparrow King looked appreciative.

Li Xiuchang suddenly felt that the immortal calamity was quite necessary, at least it treated every living being equally.

If there were no immortal calamity, the world might have been occupied by the Azure Dragon Clan.

After getting acquainted with the Fire Bird King, Li Xiuchang took the opportunity to ask about the test rules and rewards of this level.

The Fire Bird King was very easy to talk to when he liked someone, and he explained the test rules and precautions of this level in detail.

As expected, this level was to test the understanding of the Great Dao of Fire.

But unlike the previous two levels, Suzaku had no skills, and would not give Li Xiuchang the opportunity to understand the Great Dao through skills.

There are many skills related to the Great Dao of Fire, such as alchemy, refining, spiritual cooking... As long as fire is used, it is related.

But unfortunately, Suzaku has no interest in these.

In the words of the Fire Bird King, his father Suzaku is a violent maniac who is tinkering with the strongest flame all day long, with the ultimate goal of creating a flame that can burn the world.

Therefore, this level is to let them watch the process of Suzaku creating various flames in the illusion to comprehend the Great Dao of Fire.

"Senior Sparrow King, what is the extra reward for this level? How can I get it?" Li Xiuchang asked.

Fire Sparrow King said: "The extra reward is a fire seed left by my father."

"Fire seed?" Li Xiuchang was puzzled.

If it is a powerful flame, just like the flame of burning fairy grass, it should exist in the form of flame.

What does fire seed mean?

Fire Sparrow King explained: "It is a kind of flame cultivated by my father in the past. He thought it had infinite potential, but he died before he could cultivate it successfully, so this semi-finished flame was passed down in the form of fire seed.

"Now this flame continues to maintain the form of fire seed, and there is still room for growth. Once you awaken it, it will be completely finalized. "

Li Xiuchang nodded and roughly understood that it was a flame prototype that could grow. It must be extraordinary to be favored by the Suzaku of that year.

The Fire Bird King continued: "If you want to get this fire, you must pass the test left by our Suzaku clan. Originally, we wanted to test your ability to cultivate flames, but then we thought that you trialers might not be majoring in the great way of fire, and your cultivation was also average, so we couldn't expect you to cultivate a very powerful flame.

"So we changed our minds and hid the fire in a ball of flames, or if you want to get the fire, you must have the ability to enter the flame and get out of it."

"It's 'getting chestnuts out of the fire'." Li Xiuchang breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he was sure, but that he felt a glimmer of hope.

If he was asked to cultivate flames, he had no experience, and this extra reward would probably be out of the question.

But just asking him to take something out of the flame, there are still ways to think about it, and there is room for operation.

Next, Li Xiuchang and the others repeated the steps of the previous two levels, placed the blood beads on the stone platform, and entered the illusion to accept the test.

As Li Xiuchang expected, without the medium of skills, he could only comprehend the Great Dao of Fire directly, which did not yield much.

He had some talent in the Great Dao of Fire, but it was not outstanding.

Therefore, in this level, Li Xiuchang gained the least understanding of the Great Dao in the past three levels.

The three levels of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird gave him less gains each time, but fortunately there was no competition in this level.

His four teammates were amazing in the Great Dao of Fire, so Li Xiuchang became a general among the dwarfs, winning the prize of Vermillion Bird's blood.

Li Xiuchang's blood pill also turned into a mixture of blue, gold, and red.

"Senior Sparrow King, is there anything to pay attention to in the next Xuanwu level?" Li Xiuchang asked before leaving.

The Fire Sparrow King and Li Xiuchang got along well, and he answered readily:

"The next level is in charge of the old turtle Xuan Jue, who is a good-tempered person, so you don't have to worry. Besides, there is a little turtle in your team, who also has the blood of Xuanwu, and he will definitely take care of it."

Li Xiuchang thanked him, felt relieved, and took his teammates to the next level to accept the test.

…

When Li Xiuchang and the others arrived at Xuanwu Pass, the old turtle named Xuanjue was taking a nap in his shell.

When it felt someone was coming, it stretched out its long neck until it almost reached the faces of Li Xiuchang and the others.

This neck is really long... Li Xiuchang found that this turtle was different from what he thought.

The neck is horribly long, and the head doesn't look like a turtle, but like a snake.

It feels like a snake growing inside a turtle shell.

Li Xiuchang speculated that it should be the offspring of Xuanwu and the snake demon.

"I didn't expect that a descendant of my clan would come here."

Xuan Jue's eyes fell on Wen Wenwen, showing a friendly smile.

Wen Wen has Xuanwu bloodline. Although it is rare, he is definitely a descendant of Xuanwu.

Wenwen was also very sensible, and said obediently: "I've met our ancestors."

"Okay, okay, good boy." Xuan Jue smiled from ear to ear.

At this level, Li Xiuchang left the communication work to Wenwen. In the previous three levels, he was communicating with the examiners. Now facing Xuan Jue, Wenwen had an inherent advantage.

Chen Changsheng had probably never seen such a well-behaved and sensible person in his entire life.

Seeing that Wenwen and Xuan Jue had established a good relationship, Li Xiuchang took the opportunity to ask Wenwen for more information.

This level is undoubtedly testing the avenue of water.

If we talk about the Avenue of Fire in Zhuque Pass, Li Xiuchang is the only talented person among his teammates.

As for the Water Avenue in Xuanwu Pass, some of the teammates are good at it.

As a turtle beast and with Xuanwu bloodline, Wen Wen's talent for the Great Way of Water can't be any worse.

Whale Jing is a sea beast and has the blood of a mythical beast. In the future, he will major in the path of water.

Li Xiuchang has no special talent in the Water Path, so this will be his most dangerous level, and he may miss the Xuanwu Essence and Blood reward.

But it's not hopeless.

I learned from Xuanjue that Xuanwu is different from the other three holy beasts. He is a versatile boss.

Among the other holy beasts, only Qinglong has the unique skill of spiritual planting, Baihu's weapon refining skills are just a hobby, and Suzaku doesn't know anything.

But Xuanwu, he likes to draw little talismans when he has nothing to do, and when he feels that his life is long, he also makes little divination.

It is said that Xuanwu's tortoise shell is born with mysterious lines, which contain the principles of heaven and earth and the secrets of the world.

Therefore, Xuanwu relied on studying the patterns on his tortoise shell and embarked on the path of a Talisman Master and a Gua Master.

It's impossible to say how proficient Xuanwu is in these two areas. However, his foundation is too good. God will reward him with food. If he just learns something from a tortoise shell and draws it on a talisman, it will be a self-made talisman.

Occasionally, if you feel something in your heart, you can use your own turtle shell to divine, and you can get a glimpse of high-level heavenly secrets.

All I can say is that the tortoise shell is too powerful.

This is like Li Xiuchang's fortune-telling skills. To put it bluntly, he doesn't even know if he can be a first-level fortune-telling master, but the upper limit of his fortune-telling level is terrifyingly high.

Even Senior Brother Gui, who has a long lifespan, may not be able to calculate what he calculated.

Li Xiuchang and Xuanwu are both talented players in hexagram skills.

In addition, Xuanwu also has some achievements in other skills, such as Ling Chu... It is said that he is good at making soup.

Li Xiuchang happened to be a man of many talents, so he could only hope to resonate with Xuanwu in certain skills, so that he could understand more about the avenue of water with the help of skills.

"Xiuchang." Wenwen suddenly sent a message to Li Xiuchang, "This turtle will release water at this level, and the Xuanwu essence and blood are not of much use to this turtle. In addition, this turtle already has Xuanwu blood. If I absorb the Xuanwu essence and blood, what if? What to do if you are restricted by the Xuanwu bloodline?”

"Good brother!" Li Xiuchang was moved and confirmed that this meant giving him the Xuanwu essence and blood.

Indeed, Li Xiuchang had already collected the essence and blood of three kinds of Four Holy Beasts, and he only needed the final blood of Xuanwu to complete his task.

It would be a pity to fail at this step.

Wenwen has decided to let go, so Li Xiuchang's only competitor is Jing Jing.

As for the Golden Horn and the Golden Falcon, what these two guys should be worried about is whether they can get the true blood reward in this level.

"By the way, ancestor, what is the extra reward for this level?" Wenwen asked on Li Xiuchang's behalf.

Xuan Jue stretched his long neck to the ceiling and said:

"The extra reward given by our Xuanwu family is a rubbing version of the ancestor's tortoise shell."

"It's so precious!"

Li Xiuchang and others were shocked, knowing how precious the patterns on the basalt tortoise shell were.

Xuan Jue's long neck swayed from side to side, which meant shaking its head, and it said: "Of course it's only a partial rubbing. The patterns on my father's tortoise shell are so mysterious that ordinary people can't even see some parts, let alone the rubbing." Printed.

"Some lines are simply indescribable, cannot be described, and cannot be reproduced. What we have printed is only a small part of them. Of course, if you can study this part thoroughly, it will be enough for you to understand many mysteries."

The rubbing version of the Xuanwu tortoise shell instantly became Li Xiuchang's most anticipated extra reward.

This tortoise shell can not only be understood by oneself, but can also be shared with the neighboring brothers, especially senior brothers Chen Changsheng and Gui Wuyan. One of them is proficient in talismans and the other is studying hexagrams, so they should both be able to gain good results.

"Then how do you get this reward?" Li Xiuchang asked.

"The tortoise shell rubbing is hidden in a tortoise shell. If you can break the tortoise shell, you will naturally get a reward."

Li Xiuchang was a little surprised. Why did it sound like a test of attacking ability? This was different from what Xuanwu was good at.

Xuanwu has always been a steady image, preferring defense. Why did it test the destructive ability of the trial-takers?

"Okay, start the test quickly." Xuan Jue urged.

Li Xiuchang and others came to the stone platform and prepared to enter the illusion.

But at this moment, Li Xiuchang suddenly heard Wenwen's voice transmission:

"Xuan Jue gave me a tip!"

Li Xiuchang remained calm and asked what was going on.

It turned out that Xuan Jue was partial to Wenwen. Seeing that Wenwen was a descendant of their Xuanwu clan, he really gave him extra care.

Before entering the test, Xuan Jue first instilled some extra insights of the Great Way of Water into Wenwen.

This is equivalent to revealing the questions and answers in advance before the exam, pure cheating!

Li Xiuchang could only pretend not to know. After a while, Wenwen passed on those insights of the Great Way of Water to Li Xiuchang.

These insights are equivalent to the various insights on the preaching list. After unlocking, they cannot be directly used for one's own benefit, and one needs to comprehend them by oneself.

But in the next test, it is already a huge advantage.

Others have to extract insights from Xuanwu's operation in the illusion and then comprehend them.

Li Xiuchang skipped the "extraction" part and directly comprehended the insights that already existed in his mind.

This time, he was completely confident.

If cheating can't win, then what's the point of playing!

Soon, Li Xiuchang entered the illusion.

He was not in a hurry to comprehend the insights of the water from Xuan Jue, but wanted to try to see how much he could comprehend first.

I saw a giant turtle stepping on the water, and one claw fell, enough to stop the flow of the ocean.

It is not appropriate to say that he is a turtle, because there is a giant snake entwined on his carapace.

The turtle and the snake are connected as one, which is Xuanwu.

Li Xiuchang looked for a long time, but couldn't tell whether Xuanwu was swimming or doing something in this sea, let alone comprehending the water.

He was not a stubborn person, and he decisively comprehended the stolen insights of the Great Dao in his mind.

However, he was also multitasking, still paying attention to Xuanwu's movements.

Xuanwu was making waves in the sea, sometimes controlling huge waves and causing tsunamis, and sometimes suppressing waves to make the sea surface as calm as a mirror.

The water in the entire sea was just a toy in Xuanwu's hands.

Seemingly tired of playing, Xuanwu soared into the air, flew to the clouds, casually created a handful of water, threw a few fish into it, and actually started to make soup!

"It involves the skills of spiritual chefs, there's a play."

Li Xiuchang was concentrating on observing the process of Xuanwu making soup, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xuanwu's carapace.

Before, when making waves in the sea, there was a giant snake entwined on the turtle's back, and Li Xiuchang had no chance to peek at Xuanwu's carapace.

Now that Xuanwu calmed down and started to make soup, he could finally see the patterns on the tortoise shell.

Suddenly, Li Xiuchang suddenly realized that these patterns on Xuanwu's carapace were the most important and precious things in this level!
